Beiyin Great Sage

  Chapter 55 Entering the City

   Packed up the tree house, cleaned up the traces of the fighting, and just after dawn, Zhou Jia headed towards the city gate with a thick package on his back.

   "Two hundred yuan!"

   As expected, the entrance fee has increased again, and it has doubled again on the basis of the previous increase.

"in addition."

  The city gate guard looked at Zhou Jia's attire with vigilance in his eyes:

   "You must leave the city before evening. There are patrols in the inner city. If you are found to be staying privately, it is not as simple as just driving out."

   "I know." Zhou Jia understood.

  He is not interested in playing hide-and-seek with the patrol team, wouldn't it be convenient to stay in an inn.

   entered the city.

   It can be clearly felt that the flow of people in the inner city has increased a lot, passers-by are in a hurry, and most of them have vigilant eyes.

  It is completely different from the past.

  ...

   Qingfengju.

  Located in the southwest of the inner city, it is surrounded by dozens of giant sycamore trees.

  The trunk of the giant sycamore tree was chiseled by spirits to create tree houses. Some are carved with painted beams and painted buildings for people to drink and have fun, and some have several floors up and down for living.

  This is also the only place in the inner city where outsiders can spend the night besides the Huo Mansion.

   "Thirty Origin Stones!"

   Zhoujia tooth flower sour:

   "Why so expensive?"

  He had inquired about the market before, but it was not this price.

   "Thirty source stones a month, isn't that expensive?" The shopkeeper was tall, thin, and handsome, wearing clothes similar to Confucian scholars. Hearing this, he shook his head:

   "It's only because you live long enough that you can get this price. If you only live for one day, you need one and a half Origin Stones."

"and…"

   "This price is now, but it may not be certain in the future. It may increase even more depending on the situation."

  He smiled and tapped the high counter lightly:

   "Guest officer, are you staying or not?"

   "Shut up!" Zhou Jia sighed softly, and reached out to take out thirty origin stones:

   "Live for one month first."

   Thirty source stones, ordinary fifth grade, may not be able to earn that much in a year, but here is only a month's accommodation fee.

   Not counting food.

   Sure enough, living in the inner city is not easy!

   "Okay." The shopkeeper collected the origin stone and waved behind him:

   "Dong Cheng, take this guest officer to the tree house on the second floor of No. 9 Tree, and tidy up the things there by the way. Don't neglect the guest."

   "Understood, Dad." A young man walked out after hearing the sound, his triangular eyes scanned Zhou Jia's body, and subconsciously pouted:

   "Let's go!"

"Um."

  Zhou Jia nodded, took the door plate handed by the shopkeeper, and followed it out.

  The place where he lives is very simple. The giant sycamore tree has three floors, and each floor has a separate tree house. The place he rents is the second floor.

  Open the door, and there is a queen-sized bedroom.

"right here!"

  The young man obviously didn't like Zhou Jia. When the two passed by, they reached out to cover their noses by mistake, and hurriedly waved:

   "Clean it up yourself, don't break the things in the house, if it breaks, you will have to pay for it, and you'd better have enough money to pay for it."

   After a few brief introductions, he left in a hurry.

  Zhou Jia shook his head, cleaned up a little, and then closed the door.

   "Hoo..."

  Heaved a sigh of relief, he sat on the bed, listening to the birdsong and drinking and playing music outside, his tense spirit also relaxed.

   This is the property directly under the Huo family. Although it is more expensive, it is safe.

  At least for this month, I no longer have to worry about it all day like when I was in the outer city, and I can't even sleep well.

Well…

   Don't be careless either.

   At night when there is no white hair wind, we still have to cheer up.

  Calm down, he took out a book from his body, put it in front of him and slowly opened it.

   "Death Sword"

   This was obtained from the man in black last night. It is a secret book of swordsmanship. There are nine swordsmanship styles, each of which is full of fierce and murderous intent.

   Even if you haven't practiced it yet, you can tell that the power of this sword technique is far greater than that of the cloak and ax technique.

  Exquisite, chilling, fierce...

  According to the division of the Dalin Dynasty, this should be a superior swordsmanship, and only the top forces in Huojiabao can inherit it.

   It is paired with a soft sword.

  The soft sword is about three feet long together with the hilt. The blade is as thin as paper and soft as mud. After entering the source force, it immediately turns into cutting iron like mud.

  The hidden mechanism of the hilt, the top of the grip can swallow the tip of the sword, so that it can be buckled outside the belt in normal times without showing at all.

  A high-grade weapon?

  What is the origin of the man in black yesterday, that there are so many good things on him?

  This question, of course, has no answer.

  Wrap your fingers softly!

  Zhou Jia took out the soft sword, shook one hand, and the blade straightened instantly. According to the cheat book, he moved slowly and practiced the moves one by one.

  Shocking the wrist and flicking the sword!

  Seal your throat!

  Moon Seizing Style!

   Return to the wind and return to the swallow!

   Bow to look at the moon!

  …

  Nine styles of swordsmanship are different, but without exception, each move is full of fierce murderous intent, and the sword comes out of the throat, no wonder it is called the deadly sword.

  Motions are just one of them, and the foundation of superior martial arts is the movement of internal energy.

   Only when combined with Yuanli, the power of the moves will become terrifying.

   Without the guidance of a famous teacher, if you only rely on cheat books to practice, you will often get twice the result with half the effort, and even most people will not be able to enter the door at all.

   Half a day later.

   Introduction to Death Sword (1/400)

   "The trait of holding soldiers is simply cheating!"

  Stopped what he was doing, Zhou Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead, the joy in his eyes was uncontrollable:

   "Although violence can increase explosive power and increase strength in a short period of time, when it comes to its own benefits, the obvious potential of holding soldiers is greater."

"Do not!"

   "The two are almost incomparable. There may be other secret methods that can do the same thing with the violence of the earth fierce star, but it is almost a bug."

  In a short period of time, the benefits of holding soldiers will not be obvious.

  But as long as you learn weapons and martial arts, the benefits of this trait will become more and more obvious as time goes by.

   Just like this deadly sword.

   If he didn't get the Tianying Star, even if he got the cheat book, he could only watch it, and would never think of practicing it.

  Because I can't learn it!

   Now.

  After a half-day rehearsal, I got in the door.

  It is only an entry-level level, and it needs 400 experience points.

  Take out the dried meat strips from the package and swallow them with water. After recovering his energy, Zhou Jia picks up the soft sword again and begins to practice.

  Although it is safe for the time being to enter the inner city, it cannot be relaxed.

  Every point of strength increased, when he encounters danger in the future, he will have an extra chance of surviving.

  Eating, drinking, practicing, sleeping...

   In a flash, it was more than ten days.

  Going out occasionally, Zhou Jia also saw the prosperity of the inner city.

  With a high city wall, most of the Baimaofeng are blocked in the outer city. Occasionally, a fish slips through the net. As long as you are careful, it will not cause fatal harm.

  This has led to the fact that the night in the inner city is also bustling.

   Qingfengju is also overcrowded at night.

   "Have you heard that one of Heilian's hall masters was killed. He was an eighth-rank master. There were seventeen kinds of wounds on his body. He should have died under siege."

   "Has it affected the eighth rank?"

   "In the past few days, people from the church have also taken action, and Master Huobao is said to have stepped forward."

   "The owner of the castle is a super master. With him coming forward, the outside should be quiet, right?"

   "No, there are super grades in the barony."

   "Wow..."

   "In the outer city, there are hundreds of corpses that are left unattended every day, especially in the west district. When it gets dark, almost no one dares to show their faces. Some people were killed while hiding at home."

   "It's so miserable, fortunately we are in the inner city."

   "In my opinion, the inner city will also be chaotic."

   "Bah bah, don't talk nonsense!"

  Zhou Jia silently got up to pay the bill, and returned to his residence.

  The outer city is getting more and more chaotic!

  Fortunately, fortunately, I entered the inner city early. I heard that within a few days, the city gate will be completely closed, and people from the outer city are not allowed to enter, and the situation will be even worse.

   "Boom boom!"

   There was a knock on the door.

   "Who?" Zhou Jia's body tightened.

   "Me." The shopkeeper's son Dong Cheng's voice sounded:

   "Open the door!"

   "What's the matter?" Zhou Jia opened a crack in the door and looked out.

  Besides Xiaoer Dongcheng, there are two women standing outside the door. The two women are not very old, each holding a package, with a slightly flustered expression, and their scattered hair covering their cheeks, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

   "Two more people in your room." The waiter said:

   "There is no room in the inn."

   "Add people?" Zhou Jia's face darkened.
