Legend of Promise: The World of Ink

Fenghai Empire, Ziguang City.

This is a small town at the junction of Yunyang and Fenghai. Fenghai and Yunyang have always had good relations. The two countries have been in business for many years without any wars. Therefore, the people in Ziguang City live in peace and prosperity.On the second floor of a small teahouse in the busiest section of the road, Zhuyin was sitting by the window with a cup of high-quality green tea in her hand, and Mo Jing sat across from her, looking around curiously.

"From here, it is the boundary of Fenghai."

Zhuyin took a sip of tea, blinked at Mo Jingsi, and said with a smile.Mo Jing hooked the corners of her mouth, holding warm teacups in both hands, glanced at the bustling pedestrians on the street, and said with a smile:

"This Fenghai looks no different from Yunyang."

"This borders Yunyang, and the customs and habits have been assimilated, so you can't see the difference. After a while, I will take you to the interior of Fenghai, and you will know."

Mo Jingsi heard the meaning of Zhuyin's words, she blinked her eyes, tilted her head to think for a while, and asked:

"How long are we going to be here?"

Zhuyin pursed her thin lips slightly, and squinted at a group of people coming up from the stairs:

"This, I said nothing."

After Zhuyin finished speaking, she stopped explaining. Mo Jing followed her line of sight suspiciously, and saw three or five people coming up from the stairs. All of them wore bamboo hats on their heads, so that people could not see their faces clearly.Mo Jingsi looked at them curiously. At this moment, the man walking at the end stopped. He looked back at Mo Jingsi, and hummed in a low voice:

"Boy, watch your eyes."

With this glance, Mo Jingsi frowned slightly, feeling a little palpitated, just one look has such power, the strength of this group of people should not be underestimated.Mo Jingsi withdrew his gaze, raised his eyes to look at Zhuyin, but saw Zhuyin winking at her, and forced his voice into a line:

"Little guy, I will have a chance to teach them a lesson later."

Mo Jingsi nodded knowingly, without taking this matter to heart, she leaned towards Zhuyin and asked in a low voice:

"What do they do?"

"These people are bounty hunters. There are underground forces under every empire, collectively called the black market, and the most transactions in the black market are rewards, which are gangsters who buy | murder | kill | people, intercept goods and steal treasures. Place."

"These hunters who make a living by offering rewards usually pay more attention to hiding their whereabouts. They don't often let people see their appearance. Because there is a big black market stronghold under Ziguang City, these people can be so arrogant here."

After listening to Zhuyin's explanation, Mo Jingsi had some understanding of this so-called black market in her heart, she grinned, it turned out that the world is so complicated, there are many unknown things besides the obvious.It’s just that Mo Jingsi was a little puzzled why Zhuyin stayed in Ziguang City. She had asked before that the medicinal materials needed for the elder’s treatment came from Dongmu Island, and how far Ziguang City was from Dongmu Island? Thousands of miles away, why does Zhuyin waste time here?

However, Mo Jingsi didn't ask any more questions, after all, she knew exactly what Zhuyin was going to do, and all Mo Jingsi could do was not to make trouble for her.Zhuyin finished the tea in the cup, put the cup down, stood up, patted Mo Jingsi on the shoulder, and said:

"Let's go, let's find a place to live."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked downstairs, Mo Jingsi nodded, jumped off her seat, and followed Zhuyin to leave the small teahouse.Zhuyin built a small yard in a small alley in the west of the city. The yard is not big, but it is very tidy.

That night, Mo Jingsi was soundly asleep when Zhuyin suddenly woke her up:

"Come on, let's go out and do something."

Mo Jingsi was in a daze, didn't understand the situation, and nodded subconsciously.Zhuyin didn't say much to her, just lifted her collar lightly, and flew out of the small courtyard.Along the way, Mo Jingsi could only feel the wind blowing in his ears, not long after, they came to a dark woods, Zhuyin led Mo Jingsi to stop in an open space.

Except for the whistling wind and the rustling of branches and leaves, there are only the sounds of nightingales and beasts.Mo Jingsi just woke up at this time, she rubbed her eyes, looked at Zhuyin in surprise, and said:

"Master, it's so late, what are we doing here?"

Zhuyin rubbed her head and said:

"Jing Si, from now on, no matter what happens, you don't have to ask too much, just follow along, and I will definitely not let you get hurt."

Hearing the words, Mo Jingsi nodded half-understanding, and obediently shut up.Zhuyin beckoned to her:

"Walk."

Mo Jing tightly hugged Ling Tong in her arms, glanced at the dark woods, and followed Zhuyin carefully and walked forward.After a while, Zhuyin waved her hand, Mo Jingsi stopped immediately, Zhuyin grabbed her by the collar, and led her to jump onto the branches of an ancient tree.

"look."

Zhuyin whispered two words in Mo Jingsi's ear, and Mo Jingsi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw five people sitting around a woodpile in a relatively open space in front of them. Discussing something with a serious face.When Mo Jingsi saw it clearly, she immediately held her breath. Those five people were all the bounty hunters she met in the teahouse today.

"These people received a cut-off order. There is a batch of high-quality golden silk in the order. They will pass by here tonight. I think this business will not be so smooth. If there is a fight later, you should stay here. move."

Mo Jingsi gave Zhuyin a strange look, she didn't know what Zhuyin was planning, she just thought that Zhuyin must have her own reasons for doing things, so she nodded obediently.

After a while, there was a sudden cracking sound from the official road outside, and several bounty hunters on the ground quickly extinguished the fire, and cooperated with each other to find a place to hide.In just a moment, the woods, which were still somewhat bright, immediately became desolate.Mo Jingsi and Zhuyin stood together, always paying attention to the movement outside.

When the sound of chariots and horses gradually approached, at some point, there were a few screams, and then the sound of weapons being handed over. Mo Jingsi stood close to the tree trunk and listened carefully to the sound. She found that the people fighting outside except those Five bounty hunters and several groups of people all headed towards the truck. There were dozens of people in total, fighting in one place in chaos.

The people hired by the owner of the truck couldn't guard the goods at all, and the people guarding the truck were all dead in an instant. Mo Jingsi looked away and wanted to say something to Zhuyin, but found that Zhuyin was no longer by her side. Mo Jingsi pursed her lips, Zhuyin's cultivation base was too high, she could come and go around her freely, she couldn't even notice it.

At the same time, a strong flame suddenly lit up outside, and a series of screams rang out one after another. Mo Jingsi hadn't clarified the situation yet, but felt that the collar behind her was being grabbed again. After a gust of wind, they had already returned to the small room. yard.After Mo Jing fell to the ground, she turned around to look at Zhuyin, and saw that she was carrying a black box in her other hand, and said in confusion:

"what is this?"

Zhuyin smiled and raised the box in his hand, smiling like a cunning fox:

"This is the golden silk I told you about."

Mo Jingsi didn't expect Zhuyin to act so mysteriously, and it turned out that he was going to rob other people's goods, so he couldn't help laughing and said:

"How do you do such a thing?"

As the young master of the Pill Pavilion, Zhuyin didn't have any good things on her body, so why did she stop here specially for a box of golden silk?Although there are indeed many people competing for this cargo today, there are no masters, otherwise Zhuyin would still come and go without a trace with her oil bottle alone.

Hearing Mo Jingsi's question, Zhuyin showed a mysterious smile on her face. She brought Mo Jingsi into the house, and then opened the box, revealing a box of glittering golden silk fabrics.Zhuyin took out the golden silk and handed it to Mo Jingsi, saying:

"This is what I said today, the reason why I stopped in Ziguang City. I have prepared the rest of the materials, and there is another metal that will appear in Ziguang City in the near future. When I get the Heiyao meteorite iron , and make a garment for you."

"clothes?"

Mo Jing blinked her eyes, with a puzzled look on her face, using this golden silk to make clothes for her?Will it be too gorgeous?

Zhuyin saw through her thoughts at a glance, smiled and reached out to scratch her nose, and said with a smile:

"Clothes made of golden silk are invulnerable to swords and guns. Although after a certain level of cultivation, swords and guns can no longer cause much harm, they are still very useful to you. In the future, you will wear the clothes I made with you. Inside, even if you face enemies in the Wang Zi Realm, you still have a chance to save your life."

Zhuyin put away the box again, threw the whole thing into the Sumeru bag at his waist, and patted Mo Jingsi on the head:

"Woke you up so late today, you must have not slept enough."

Mo Jingsi stared blankly at Zhuyin, pursed her mouth, did not speak or move for a while, Zhuyin looked at her suspiciously, reflecting the yellowish candlelight, seeing Mo Jingsi's red eyes, faint tears .

"What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

Zhuyin's voice awakened Mo Jingsi, she immediately reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and there was a bit of crying in her voice:

"No, Master, I just think that you are too kind to me."

Hearing this, Zhuyin burst out laughing, she gently tugged Mo Jingsi's cheek, and said with a smile:

"Why? Touched? Hehe, little guy, you are my disciple. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Mo Jingsi didn't speak any more, her eyes were fixed on Zhuyin's face, Zhuyin was the best person to her since she came to the Wuji Continent, bar none.She thinks about her all the time, she knows that Zhuyin also has something in her heart, but now she can't help.

At this moment, Mo Jingsi suddenly came up with another reason to ask himself to cultivate hard and become stronger.No longer just to find the way home, but also to relieve Zhuyin's knot in her heart, Mo Jingsi secretly made a decision in her heart.
