After the sage died
Chapter 3
After all, Zhu Yan is a big man, he was lifted up and down in the same position twice in one day, and now he is hugging his knees and loathing himself.
A cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't be tense."
Zhu Yan trembled and quickly cooperated.
After a distance, Jiang Yunzhi propped his chin and looked over.
The man's back was facing him, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, and his body was tightly cinched in black clothes, and his shoulder blades shrugged slightly when he moved.Probably because this person was born with a sense of danger, the last medicine actually seemed to be dissecting.
The capital of Jiangyong is afraid of being punished strictly here.
It didn't take long for the wound to be treated, and he glanced at it quickly, but he was a little surprised - the wound on Zhu Yan's back was cleaned carefully, and the bandage was also quite skillful, as if he often dealt with trauma.
Zhu Yan sincerely thanked, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Zhong Ming didn't answer him, just washed his hands casually with the remaining water in the ladle, then went to sit down opposite Jiang Yunzhi.
Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help but look at him a few more times... Could it be that he is really hanging the pot to help the world?
Zhong Ming raised his eyes, and the two met their gazes, "Do you have something to say?"
Seeing that his senses had improved, Jiang Yunzhi took the initiative to say, "I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
The other side was silent for a while, the breeze from the countryside passed through the cypress forest outside the cave, and "sand" poured into the cave.After a while, a deep voice said, "Bai Mu."
Now that you have decided to stay with this person with a new identity, use a brand new name.
"Cypress?" Jiang Yunzhi glanced at the green plants outside, deeply doubting whether the other party just said it casually.
"'Mu' is the adoration of admiration." The deep voice rang out word by word, and Jiang Yunzhi's eardrums itched when he heard it, thinking that if a little girl sat across from him and heard it, his heart would probably be shaken.
He glanced at the man opposite, and this glance was hitting the man's deep eyes.
Jiang Yunzhi was startled for a moment, then said, "Really."
Zhu Yan, who just got dressed and was about to sit down next to the two, "..."
He stepped into the air with one leg, and suddenly he didn't know whether to go forward or back.
Jiang Yunzhi came back to his senses, and soon noticed that there was a person beside him who wanted to leave.He looked at Zhu Yan's dangling foot in the air, "Are you doing rehabilitation?"
Zhu Yan hurriedly sat down, "There is no repayment for saving your life. Whatever news you want to hear, you have no reservations."
Jiang Yunzhi asked, "In the Three Realms, how many monks are there in each realm?"
Zhu Yan replied, "It's fairly common to practice qi refining and foundation building cultivators. There are more than a hundred Jindan powerhouses, and more than fifty Nascent Soul Venerables..."
Jiang Yunzhi frowned, seemingly puzzled, "Why is the Nascent Soul Stage called Venerable?"
Zhu Yan was shocked instantly: How arrogant are these words!
Before he had time to explain to others, he heard Zhong Ming from the side say, "I don't understand."
Zhu Yan: ...
Jiang Yunzhi didn't notice the distraught look of the former, so he skipped a few realms and asked directly, "How many people are more than fit?"
"Probably not." Zhu Yan came back to his senses.But when he saw the two people on the opposite side, he added uncertainly, "As far as the world knows."
Not even a fusion period?Jiang Yunzhi pondered a few times in his heart.However, the second half of Zhu Yan's sentence reminded him of more hidden possibilities, and he glanced at the man opposite: such as this person.
The peak of Mahayana 1000 years ago... really abnormal.
As he glanced, the other party looked over again.Their eyes met, and Jiang Yunzhi slowly moved away: "Damn it, you can be spotted from the corner of your eye, so don't look at it."
After asking about the current situation in the Three Realms, he had a clear idea in his mind, and turned to ask, "Have any major events happened recently?"
"There is one more thing - it is said that there is an auspicious beast in Fucheng, and it is on the main peak of the deputy suzerain of the Yueyue Sect. For this reason, the Yueyue Sect invited all the sects' aristocratic families to come to the banquet and enjoy the auspiciousness together."
"Auspicious beast?"
"It is said to have a human face and a snake body, and the whole body is red."
Jiang Yunzhi's heart skipped a beat: the human face is a snake body, and the whole body is red... It sounds like the legendary candle dragon.
Candle Dragon is a mythical beast in charge of time, ruling the four seasons of yin and yang.His rebirth to 1000 years ago, could it be related to the existence of Zhulong?If he finds Zhulong, will he have a chance to return to his original world?
Interesting, go check it out.
"Thank you." Jiang Yunzhi got up and prepared to leave when the information he wanted to know was almost finished.As he got up, Zhong Ming, who hadn't interrupted since just now, also stood up.
Jiang Yunzhi gave him a considerate look, "Did you drop by?"
The corner of Zhong Ming's lips twitched, "Brother Jiang understands me."
Jiang Yunzhi was confused by his address, and was about to say something when he suddenly realized, "Did I say my name just now?"
"..." Zhong Ming was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."
Jiang Yunzhi thought about it carefully, "Really? Did I say it?"
"Otherwise, how would I know." Zhong Ming glanced at Zhu Yan who was at the side, with a faint expression, "You heard that too, didn't you?"
Zhu Yan's back felt cold from this look, and the place where the medicine was just applied seemed to be leaking, "...Yes."
Jiang Yunzhi nodded, thinking that the amount of information entered just now was too large, and he misremembered it.He no longer entangled, turned around and handed Zhu Yan a communication stone, "I'm leaving first, you stay here for self-cultivation, and contact the communication stone if there is anything to do."
Zhu Yan was worried, "If the person who pursued me returns again..."
Jiang Yunzhi, "Don't worry, I have already set up an enchantment around here, and no fly can fly in!"
Zhu Yan, "..."
The familiar rhetoric was almost verbatim, and even the light cast on Jiang Yunzhi was still so dazzling.
Zhu Yan glanced at Zhong Ming quickly, then silently lowered his eyes.
"No problem." It was Zhong Ming who spoke this time, and he walked out of the cave first, "No one can come in except me."
Zhu Yan didn't understand, "Why?"
"Didn't you say that there are no people who are more than fit in this world." Jiang Yunzhi followed Zhong Ming and stepped out of the cave, his indigo blue gown fluttering in the wind, and his long long hair fluttered.
Immediately, his figure flickered, and there were only two streamers of light remaining at the entrance of the cave, "This is the enchantment of the Mahayana realm."
"...!"
In Xunyang city.
There are people coming and going on the street, and the street vendors hawking and selling are mixed with the conversations of the common people.
Jiang Yunzhi didn't care how much that sentence caused Zhu Yan's psychological impact. He walked leisurely on the street, following the crowd.
Zhong Ming was still walking by his side, not only very "on the way", but also preemptively asked, "Where are you going?"
"When you go out, you have to have money by your side."
Zhong Ming glanced at the storage bag on his waist and understood what he meant, "Yes."
While the two were talking, the crowd behind them crowded together.With a thought in his heart, Jiang Yun turned sideways to avoid the head of the pole coming from the side.
Boom, he slammed into Zhong Ming with his back, and at the same time raised a hand to support his shoulder.That hand was very hot, the temperature came through through the two layers of clothing, and it was very ironed against his cool body.
Zhong Ming looked down at him, "Be careful."
The hot air blew past the tips of his ears, and Jiang Yunzhi quickly stood up straight, "I'm fine."
Zhong Ming's hand on his shoulder brought him a little closer to his side, and then he put it down.
"Sorry, sorry!" The passing porter apologized repeatedly when he saw this.
The movement here attracted the attention of pedestrians around. When they saw the appearances of Shangjiang Yunzhi and Zhong Ming, everyone couldn't help being stunned: When did they see such outstanding appearances in a small border town like them?
What's more, they still appear together, probably some noble family or monk.
The porter was also stunned, unexpectedly he almost ran into the "noble man".
Jiang Yunzhi saw that he was standing in front of him without moving, so he just asked casually, "Where is the biggest pawn shop in the city?"
"It's at the west alley of the city, the merchant's pawn shop."
"Understood, thank you."
He bid farewell to the porter and turned towards the west of the city.
Two slender figures disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
At the west alley of the city, the largest pawn shop stands on the street, with the word "Shang" on the plaque.
Jiang Yunzhi was about to step through the door when he suddenly looked at the man beside him.
The latter has a good-looking appearance, and his strength is unfathomable. I am afraid that if someone else can walk with him all the way, he will feel lucky and wish for it.
I just don't know why Baba followed behind me.
Seeing that he planned to follow in, Jiang Yunzhi made sense of it, "I have something to do, and you look easy to make people wary, so it's inconvenient to follow me."
He spoke with sincerity, but Zhong Ming's eyelids twitched when he heard it: It's hard to imagine what this person is planning to do, so that he needs to let the other party take off his guard.
"You go." After Zhong Ming finished speaking, he leaned against the door and stood still.
Seeing that the other party looked like he was waiting here for him to come out, Jiang Yunzhi seemed to have given up the excuse of "dropping in" and followed him upright.
He couldn't figure out the man's intentions—in fact, they had only just met each other, and they didn't know anything except the other's name.
He only faintly felt that the other party's cultivation might not be inferior to his own, but he didn't expect that there would be someone at the peak of Mahayana 1000 years ago.
Jiang Yunzhi suddenly felt emotional, "You must have had a hard time these years, right?"
In the Three Realms where the aura is so barren, it is hard to know how much suffering one has endured to reach this level.
Zhong Ming's eyebrows twitched, and his intuition told him not to delve into the sudden compassion of the former.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Half of his hard work was brought by the person in front of him.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhi's affection came and went quickly, as if on a whim.He told the other party a few more words "don't follow", then turned around and entered the pawn shop.
Bypassing the huge screen directly in front, the scene inside the pawn shop came into view.
Surrounded by narrow windows, the hall is dimly lit.There were no other customers at the moment, a few clerks were doing odd jobs around, and the shopkeeper in a long gown was standing behind a high counter looking through the ledger.
Jiang Yunzhi glanced at him, and saw that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Hearing the movement, the shopkeeper raised his eyes to look over, his eyes glanced at Jiang Yunzhi's clothes, and a faint glint flashed in his eyes.
"What is this guest officer going to do?"
Jiang Yunzhi walked to the counter and took out a set of jade nine-link rings from the storage bag on his waist, "Change some spirit stones."
The nine jade rings are of different sizes and have been disassembled separately.The black and bright jade ring is shiny and translucent, and the price is expensive at first glance.
The shopkeeper immediately breathed a little faster, and was about to take it over to observe carefully, when Jiang Yunzhi grabbed the jade back into his palm.
"No hurry." He smiled with the shopkeeper, his brows and eyes were pure and gentle, "I have a small proposal."
The shopkeeper looked away reluctantly, "Any suggestion?"
"Be the smallest one first, and before I come to make the next one, you can give it to anyone. For each mortgage, use the money equivalent to the previous jade ring to make up the difference to me, how about it?"
Want to disassemble a whole set?
The shopkeeper was surprised for a moment, and then pondered: the jade is still the same jade, as long as the price he pays to others is higher, the difference he has to make up will be less.
It is indeed a good business that is stable and profitable.not to mention……
He looked at Jiang Yunzhi, his eyes narrowed slightly: The person in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, and he was alone and had no cultivation level.I'm afraid some nobleman of aristocratic family ran away secretly and spent all his money, so he came to the pawn shop to exchange some money.
What a fat sheep.
He thought about it and said with a smile, "Guest officer, that's fine if you think it's good." After speaking, he immediately asked the guy at the side to bring a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a note.
Jiang Yunzhi Boai smiled, "Hello everyone is really nice."
"..."
The pen, ink and paper research was quickly placed on the counter, and the black and white words were written on the top, and the agreement between the two was established.
Jiang Yunzhi put the remaining jade rings back into the storage bag, put the dozen or so spirit stones into his cuffs, turned around and went out, "I'll come back next time."
The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the storage bag on his waist, "Guest officer, how long is the next time?"
Jiang Yunzhi walked out leisurely, and his graceful figure circled around the screen and gradually merged into the bright light of the outside world.
"Of course when the money runs out."
"..."
·
Walking out of the pawnshop, back to the bustling streets and alleys.
As soon as Jiang Yunzhi went out, the man leaning against the door straightened up and walked up to him, "Is it done?"
"Kang Bang" the spirit stone on the cuff shook for a while, everything was said in silence.Jiang Yunzhi walked into the crowd, Zhong Ming asked, "Where are we going next?"
He took a deep look at the man, and really fell for him, "I said, Your Excellency..." As he was speaking, his expression changed suddenly, and he felt three figures sneaking past behind him.
Jiang Yunzhi turned around, "...would you like to go for a walk by the river?"
Zhong Ming glanced at the subtle changes on his face, bent his lips and said slowly, "I'm extremely happy."
In Xunyang City, there is a river used for transportation, close to the north wall, it is the most sparsely populated part of the city.
The street by the river was quiet and empty, Jiang Yunzhi walked slowly, his steps dragging on the dry ground with a "rustling" sound.
Zhong Ming walked beside him, his tall figure cast a small shadow under his feet, his back was broad like a dormant beast.
The two walked forward for a while, and the three footsteps behind them still followed at a distance.
Jiang Yunzhi glanced at the streets that were getting farther and farther away from the center of the city, and then looked thoughtfully at the man beside him.
A hand landed on the other's tight waist.
The cool body temperature came through the thin fabric, Zhong Ming's footsteps flickered, and his heartbeat paused for a moment.Immediately afterwards, there was a moderate pinch from the waist——
"Hmm!" With a muffled snort, the tense aura all over his body was instantly relieved.
He turned his head to look at the instigator, but Jiang Yunzhi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Your Excellency looks like he is about to punch at any time."
It's so tight, who dares to get close.
"..."
Zhong Ming pursed his thin lips and looked forward, the pinched waist didn't hurt, but felt a little hot.
This action could not be called intimacy, but it was the first time between the two of them so casually.What's absurd is that this is all due to the fact that he is now a "stranger", not the Sword Sage.
The hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, so Jiang Yunzhi must not let him know...
The two of them strolled along the river bank with their bodies full of flaws, and after walking for a short time, they heard footsteps approaching quickly behind them—clap, clap.
"Stop!" Ling Kong shouted sharply.
In the blink of an eye, the two of Jiang Yunzhi were surrounded by three Foundation Establishment monks.
All three of them covered their faces with bamboo hats, releasing the coercion of the late foundation establishment period from their bodies.The head of the strong man's eyes fell on the storage bag at Jiang Yunzhi's waist, "Hand over your valuables!"
The strong man finished speaking, but saw the other party's expression excited.
Jiang Yunzhi was immersed in the novel experience of being robbed, "Robber? Robbery? Robbery or sex, or both?"
Zhong Ming's expression suddenly turned cold.
The three robbers didn't seem to have expected this direction. After looking at each other blankly for a few times, the head of the strong man suddenly said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Of course it's robbery, you—"
He paused for a while, his eyes lingered on Jiang Yunzhi's elegant and harmonious face for a few times, and then he smiled, "Tsk, this face... If you recommend yourself as a pillow, sir..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold chill suddenly came out of thin air, sweeping across the entire street in just a moment, even Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck, feeling the killing intent in it.
"Ho, ho, uh!" The brawny man grabbed his neck and groaned suddenly, as if he had been strangled by an invisible force.
The other two were shocked, and before they had time to figure out what happened, they all fell to the ground with a "plop" and passed out.
The surroundings are silent, the river seems to have stopped flowing, and the grass leaves on the shore in late summer are covered with a layer of fine frost.
Jiang Yunzhi turned his head to look at the man beside him - only then did he realize that the man's face was as dark as ink, and there was obvious anger in his dark eyes.
He froze, "You..."
Zhong Ming looked at the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him, his heart was filled with anger, he gritted his teeth, "What nonsense."
The author has something to say:
Jiang Yunzhi: Robbery?Hi!
Zhong Ming: Hehe, I'm courting death.
A nine thousand word update is sent today!Still spreading red envelopes~
*Dangyu: Because it is a complete set, first wait for the shopkeeper to raise the price of a single jade ring, and then sell the last lot at a high price without doing anything. ^_^
A cold voice suddenly came from behind, "Don't be tense."
Zhu Yan trembled and quickly cooperated.
After a distance, Jiang Yunzhi propped his chin and looked over.
The man's back was facing him, his shoulders were wide and his waist was narrow, and his body was tightly cinched in black clothes, and his shoulder blades shrugged slightly when he moved.Probably because this person was born with a sense of danger, the last medicine actually seemed to be dissecting.

Zhu Yan sincerely thanked, "Thank you, Your Excellency."
Zhong Ming didn't answer him, just washed his hands casually with the remaining water in the ladle, then went to sit down opposite Jiang Yunzhi.
Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help but look at him a few more times... Could it be that he is really hanging the pot to help the world?
Zhong Ming raised his eyes, and the two met their gazes, "Do you have something to say?"

Jiang Yunzhi was startled for a moment, then said, "Really."
Zhu Yan, who just got dressed and was about to sit down next to the two, "..."
He stepped into the air with one leg, and suddenly he didn't know whether to go forward or back.
Jiang Yunzhi came back to his senses, and soon noticed that there was a person beside him who wanted to leave.He looked at Zhu Yan's dangling foot in the air, "Are you doing rehabilitation?"

Jiang Yunzhi walked out leisurely, and his graceful figure circled around the screen and gradually merged into the bright light of the outside world.
"Of course when the money runs out."
"..."
·
Walking out of the pawnshop, back to the bustling streets and alleys.
As soon as Jiang Yunzhi went out, the man leaning against the door straightened up and walked up to him, "Is it done?"
"Kang Bang" the spirit stone on the cuff shook for a while, everything was said in silence.Jiang Yunzhi walked into the crowd, Zhong Ming asked, "Where are we going next?"
He took a deep look at the man, and really fell for him, "I said, Your Excellency..." As he was speaking, his expression changed suddenly, and he felt three figures sneaking past behind him.
Jiang Yunzhi turned around, "...would you like to go for a walk by the river?"
Zhong Ming glanced at the subtle changes on his face, bent his lips and said slowly, "I'm extremely happy."
In Xunyang City, there is a river used for transportation, close to the north wall, it is the most sparsely populated part of the city.
The street by the river was quiet and empty, Jiang Yunzhi walked slowly, his steps dragging on the dry ground with a "rustling" sound.
Zhong Ming walked beside him, his tall figure cast a small shadow under his feet, his back was broad like a dormant beast.
The two walked forward for a while, and the three footsteps behind them still followed at a distance.
Jiang Yunzhi glanced at the streets that were getting farther and farther away from the center of the city, and then looked thoughtfully at the man beside him.
A hand landed on the other's tight waist.
The cool body temperature came through the thin fabric, Zhong Ming's footsteps flickered, and his heartbeat paused for a moment.Immediately afterwards, there was a moderate pinch from the waist——
"Hmm!" With a muffled snort, the tense aura all over his body was instantly relieved.
He turned his head to look at the instigator, but Jiang Yunzhi withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, "Your Excellency looks like he is about to punch at any time."
It's so tight, who dares to get close.
"..."
Zhong Ming pursed his thin lips and looked forward, the pinched waist didn't hurt, but felt a little hot.
This action could not be called intimacy, but it was the first time between the two of them so casually.What's absurd is that this is all due to the fact that he is now a "stranger", not the Sword Sage.
The hand hanging by his side clenched tightly, so Jiang Yunzhi must not let him know...
The two of them strolled along the river bank with their bodies full of flaws, and after walking for a short time, they heard footsteps approaching quickly behind them—clap, clap.
"Stop!" Ling Kong shouted sharply.
In the blink of an eye, the two of Jiang Yunzhi were surrounded by three Foundation Establishment monks.
All three of them covered their faces with bamboo hats, releasing the coercion of the late foundation establishment period from their bodies.The head of the strong man's eyes fell on the storage bag at Jiang Yunzhi's waist, "Hand over your valuables!"
The strong man finished speaking, but saw the other party's expression excited.
Jiang Yunzhi was immersed in the novel experience of being robbed, "Robber? Robbery? Robbery or sex, or both?"
Zhong Ming's expression suddenly turned cold.
The three robbers didn't seem to have expected this direction. After looking at each other blankly for a few times, the head of the strong man suddenly said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Of course it's robbery, you—"
He paused for a while, his eyes lingered on Jiang Yunzhi's elegant and harmonious face for a few times, and then he smiled, "Tsk, this face... If you recommend yourself as a pillow, sir..."
Before he finished speaking, a cold chill suddenly came out of thin air, sweeping across the entire street in just a moment, even Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help but feel a chill on the back of his neck, feeling the killing intent in it.
"Ho, ho, uh!" The brawny man grabbed his neck and groaned suddenly, as if he had been strangled by an invisible force.
The other two were shocked, and before they had time to figure out what happened, they all fell to the ground with a "plop" and passed out.
The surroundings are silent, the river seems to have stopped flowing, and the grass leaves on the shore in late summer are covered with a layer of fine frost.
Jiang Yunzhi turned his head to look at the man beside him - only then did he realize that the man's face was as dark as ink, and there was obvious anger in his dark eyes.
He froze, "You..."
Zhong Ming looked at the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him, his heart was filled with anger, he gritted his teeth, "What nonsense."
The author has something to say:
Jiang Yunzhi: Robbery?Hi!
Zhong Ming: Hehe, I'm courting death.
