Start from Wusheng

Chapter 444 Visitors at Night
Traveling around and stretching your arms, you are not afraid that no one will come, but you are afraid that no one will be interested.

The fact that someone was targeting him meant that the previous actions had worked and there were indeed people from the Golden Immortal Sect hiding in Chongguang City.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel in a good mood. He opened a bag of iron beans and enjoyed it with the remaining wine.

“Crunch, crunch, crunch!”

The main body is traveling around the capital city. His top priority recently is engagement. His marriage with Hua Youxing is almost certain, and he is currently preparing all the materials needed for the wedding.

Good things are coming, and I can't spare the time, so I leave all the hard work to the two fake jobs.

The first vest Lu Zhigang has initially gained the trust of the strange scorpion, and the two of them go to the crisis-ridden Wandu Secret Workshop together.

Du Wuyao is no pushover. He is unfathomable and seemingly only at the level of a junior martial artist. However, after spending some time with him, Zhou You determined that he is not as simple as he appears.

On the way, he revealed that the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop was located in the largest boundless swamp in Beixuanzhou.

The swamp sea is located at the border, covering an area of ​​thousands of miles, with unpredictable climate. It is independent of other areas and has a different world inside.

According to geographical and meteorological research, the development of different regions of the world is by no means synchronous. There are always lags and pauses in some local areas, which create unique "refrigerator areas".

For example, the northern border is far away from the prosperous Central Plains, has a harsh climate and is sparsely populated, so many ancient species remain.

This area is far away from the mainstream and well-known civilization development, and still retains traces of ancient times, like a frozen block in a refrigerator.

The swamp where the Ten Thousand Poisons Secret Shop is located is also a refrigerator area.

The boundless swamp is like a vast ocean, and the geography affects the celestial phenomena, creating a unique environment.

Many ancient poisonous insects and monsters hibernate here, sleeping under the moist mud that has been there for thousands of years. Once awakened, they reproduce wildly, forming periodic insect tides.

There are even plants that have long been extinct in the outside world but have extremely high medicinal value.

A large part of the transaction between Yaowang Sect and Wandu Secret Shop is rare and precious ancient plants.

It is conceivable that Lu Zhigang's trip must have been fruitful and full of infinite possibilities.

"."

Zhou You thought of this, crushed a broad bean, put it in his mouth and chewed it deliciously.

The next day, he finished the seal. An old customer came to pick it up. He looked at the seal carefully in the sunlight, couldn't let it go, and praised it highly, giving Zhou You a thumbs up again and again.

"Old man, you have an amazing skill."

The old customer was a burly middle-aged man, a martial artist, but he was fond of calligraphy and painting and was willing to spend a lot of money.

"Thank you for the compliment. If the customer is satisfied, please come and take care of my business again."

After the old customer put away the seal, he asked another question, "Old sir, I see that although your hair and beard are all white, you are still in good health."

"I'm going to ask you a question. You may suffer from the bumpy ride. If you go on a business trip to another place, don't worry. The rewards will definitely be great."

Zhou You was a little confused. Why did he, a stall seller selling calligraphy, have to go on a business trip? He didn't understand!
He was curious, but he also knew he couldn't rush to find out, so he said calmly, "Let's wait and see, I can't spare the time right now."

"That's fine. My sect hasn't opened yet, and the mountain road is blocked. It won't be too late to invite you when it's open."

This statement by the old customer reveals a lot of information.

Sect, he is actually a member of a sect?
After Zhou You and others left, he closed his eyes and recalled his characteristics, and found that this person was not from a sect near the city.

Out of town?

Yes, there is no mistake. It is a sect in a prefecture in Beixuanzhou.

But, why would a martial arts sect invite an old man like him to come and carve a monument to praise their merits?

This little episode passed quickly. Zhou You closed the shop in the afternoon and went out for a walk. After finishing this business, he earned enough money for next month's rent and food, so he could rest for a while.

Sogo City is bustling and has many fun places to visit, and although there are still Xi family searchers on the streets, normal resident activities have returned to normal.

As usual, he bought a bag of broad beans and a pot of wine, and carried them as he passed by Snake Goods Street.

The gigantic snake king wrapped its body around a pillar that ten people could hardly hug together. Its eyes were tightly closed, with the slits of its eyes hidden among its wrinkles and scales, as if it had been sleeping for thousands of years.

There were no mosquitoes around the cage where it was, and in the corner there was a frightened cat that had died, its body having long since shriveled up.

Most of the people walking along this street would stop in front of the snake king to watch, stretching out their arms to compare the size of its fangs.

The snake king closed his eyes and fell asleep, ignoring these tiny things that were not even big enough to fill his teeth, and gusts of fishy air came out of his nostrils.

"Wow, that's really majestic."

Zhou You glanced at the lineup guarding the Snake King. There was a high-level martial artist with seven or eight disciples, who regularly strengthened the cage with their qi and blood.

The cage is not made of ordinary wooden stakes, but is forged and assembled according to the requirements of Qi and Blood Magical Weapons, with charm cores inlaid at the intersections. Roughly speaking, there are at least thousands of charm cores of transformed charms, and there are also more than a dozen charm cores of small hidden charms.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge charm core at the top of the cage.

A small potential is equivalent to a mid-to-high level martial artist, but once promoted to a large potential, it is a strong martial artist level.

The prison cost so much money, no wonder the snake king had to stay inside and couldn't escape.

Zhou You glanced at the senior martial artist guarding the cage, smiled and nodded, then left.

It was dark when he returned to the shop. He installed the door panels, put away the table and started to sleep on the floor. Outside the door, the footsteps of the night watchman could be heard, chanting to remind every household to be careful of fire and water.

Zhou You counted his footsteps. Today, like usual, he would leave the street after taking 237 steps.

Today's peeping seems to be particularly different than usual. The steps have exceeded 250, but the figure has not disappeared yet.

Is it...

Zhou You's ears suddenly fell into silence. All the tiny sounds of the night disappeared as if they had sunk to the bottom of the water.

I listened for footsteps again, but they were gone, there was no sound at all.

Zhou You opened his eyes and looked, but the light was gone and the night watchman had disappeared from the reach of his senses.

There is no sound, no outline, as if it was wiped out by an eraser, leaving only the background.

"Hoohoo!"

Tuqiongdagger met.

He had anticipated this moment, but he didn't expect it to come so suddenly, so... quickly.

Was the person who did it really the night watchman, or was it someone else?
After dealing with Kunpengzi, he had some understanding of the style of the Golden Immortal Dao. This group of people did not seem to be able to charge to the front.

As Zhou You walked around the shop where he was now, the light and sound seemed to be swallowed up by a huge mouth of emptiness, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

But the enemy has not appeared yet, and has been quietly trapping him, which shows that he has great confidence and patience.

Zhou You's heart moved. In the snake goods area dozens of streets away, the snake king who was sleeping on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, and huge seal characters appeared in his pupils.

The seal script was actually the one Zhou You had just mastered... Yu.

The night is lonely!

The snake king looked around in confusion, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
