My enemy's style is wrong

Chapter 69

Moling has been prosperous since ancient times, and after entering the city, it is full of people and voices. Although it is relatively uninspired, it is also a good place for the secular world.

Where monks have never set foot, there is naturally a system that belongs to mortals that operates normally. Unlike the cultivation world, which is usually headed by sects and families, although there are many noble families in the secular world, there is still a shroud of imperial power above the aristocratic families.

The county guard of Moling was surnamed Chen, and he was originally born in the immortal sect, but because of his poor aptitude, he stopped practicing Qi cultivation. Zhizhi went to Moling, a land of fish and rice, to become a small official. Unexpectedly, he was quite talented in his career as an official. After a few years, he became a sheriff.

Speaking of which, this Chen Junshou has some connections with the Lin family. He was born in the Chen family of Guangling. Although he is only a bastard in the family and is not valued very much, his grandmother is the daughter of the Liu family in Donghai. After all, she is still Lin Xiuran's cousin. nephew.

But since he has chosen the secular world as an official, Lin Xiuran can't take the initiative to recognize relatives. Besides, Lin Xiuran is not yet twenty. Ordinary people are even more different, but Lin Xiuran still couldn't bear to be his cousin to a sheriff who was almost ten years older than him.Therefore, after entering the city, the two kept a low profile all the way, and did not go to look for the sheriff's mansion.

Lin Xiuran grew up in the Jiangnan area in his last life. Although it is also a modern city with reinforced concrete skyscrapers, which is quite different from the painted boats and bridges we see now, it still has some flavor of his hometown after all, so he rented a small house in the city. , plan to stay longer.

It has already entered winter in the Moling area. Although it is not as cold and humid as in the northern land, the climate is really cold and humid. Although Lin Xiuran and Yin Chengyu's cultivation level will naturally not mind the temperature, but it is still Do as the Romans do, and put on thicker winter clothes together. At first glance, they look like a pair of ordinary brothers.

Because the use of spiritual power and magic is not allowed, Yin Chengyu originally planned to buy a few servants for daily service, but he was afraid that exposing his identity would only increase troubles. Although they can serve puppets, with their current cultivation, it is still a bit difficult to refine puppets. So he simply did it himself every day, and only hired someone to clean it every few days.

On the eve of the winter solstice, it was rare for Moling to snow. It was not as full of catkins as in the north, but it also showed a scene of plain snow covering thousands of miles.The customs in the south of the Yangtze River are very different from those in the north, and the winter solstice is regarded as a sub-year. Therefore, the colder the weather, the heavier the atmosphere of the festival.

Cultivators generally don't care about ordinary annual festivals. After all, for monks who live hundreds of years, annual festivals are too frequent, but for Lin Xiuran, this is the first time in his life. This time I have the opportunity to relive the preparations for the winter solstice in every household. It is inevitable that I will feel a little emotional, and I will drag Yin Chengyu around all day to buy some new year's goods.

Yin Chengyu really didn't know much about these festivals and customs, so he simply let Lin Xiuran toss about it. For monks, gold, silver and treasures will never be lacking, just buy what they fancy.There were crowds rubbing shoulders and palms in the market, and the smell was really not pleasant, but Lin Xiuran didn't mind at all, and happily followed the flow of people to squeeze forward, Yin Chengyu had to follow him, carefully separating the flow of people beside him.

Lin Xiuran's favorite food in his previous life was sausages, but he couldn't make them himself. Not to mention the Lin family, he had never seen sausages in the entire cultivation world, but he unexpectedly saw many sausages when he arrived in Moling. Unfortunately, most of them were from his own family. In order to prepare for the New Year, Lin Xiuran spent a lot of effort a few days ago before he bought twenty catties.

There are actually a lot of ways to make sausages, but unfortunately Lin Xiuran can't do the same thing, so he can only cut into slices and steam it. The taste is not much different from the ones he ate in his previous life. Yin Chengyu originally planned to try it with chopsticks, but he didn't expect to eat it with his last breath. After eating more than half a catty, Lin Xiuran saw that he liked it, so he ran out and bought another [-] catties. He also spent a lot of money to buy the method and formula from the Cuiyun Building in the west of the city, planning to learn how to make it slowly in the future.Eating too much sausage made of ordinary pork is not beneficial to cultivation after all. After returning to Minghe Mountain, it would not be too late to find some other spirit beast meat to try.

Melon seeds and peanuts should be bought for the occasion. Although there are no children, caramel candy is still indispensable. Lin Xiuran has already made a long list, planning to have a good New Year with Yin Chengyu.

"I heard from the granny across the street that the store that sells Dong Brew is nearby. Brother, have you seen it?"

The alcohol content of Dongniang is not high, and it is brewed with sweet-scented osmanthus. It tastes very sweet. Lin Xiuran had inquired about the shops selling Dongniang early in the morning, and planned to buy more wine, so that he could drink some after he left Moling.After all, things like wine can't be made by recipe, and even if it's the same recipe, the taste will be quite different if it's away from the place of origin.

Yin Chengyu frowned and looked around, barely seeing a half-new wine flag from the layers of signboards, and pulled Lin Xiuran through the crowd to squeeze past.They have gone to three restaurants in a row, but they all said that the sweet-scented osmanthus wine has been sold out without exception. If there is no more in this restaurant, he plans to go some other way.

Fortunately, just after explaining the purpose of coming here, the waiter of this store said with a smile on his face that there is still a lot of stock in the store. Seeing that Lin Xiuran planned to buy them all, he didn't ask much, and quickly started weighing them.

Lin Xiuran was happy when he finally bought the wine. He reached out to touch his waist and planned to pay the bill from the storage bag, but he found nothing.

He has always used the storage ring, but if he walks in the secular world, using the storage ring is still too eye-catching, but the storage bag can be disguised as a money bag commonly used by ordinary people, so that people will not be aware of accidents. The bag was gone.

Lin Xiuran was a little embarrassed, and the expression on his face froze for a moment. It was Yin Chengyu who saw that something was wrong, found a silver cake, and left the address, asking the waiter in the shop to deliver the wine in the afternoon.

As soon as he walked out of the wine shop, Lin Xiuran's face darkened. It is impossible for the storage bag to be lost due to "not fastening it properly" in the cultivation world, not to mention that the storage bag has recognized the owner, and no monk will be bored to steal this kind of thing. If you want to get it, it is better to directly Kill people to seize treasure, and then erase the consciousness branded on the storage bag.Right now, Lin Xiuran didn't notice any traces of the storage bag being forcibly torn open, so the answer was obvious.

Really valuable things, Lin Xiuran still put them in the storage ring. The storage bag only contains some scattered gold, silver and spirit beads, which are not worth much, but the value is still secondary. This kind of thing happened , It's really a bit too embarrassing.

His majestic young master of the Lin family, a direct disciple of the head of Minghe Mountain, had his storage bag removed by ordinary people during the disturbance, and he was completely unaware from the beginning to the end. If this matter spreads, where will his face go? put?

Fortunately, the storage bags were imprinted with spiritual consciousness, Lin Xiuran felt the general direction with a thought, and hurriedly pulled Yin Chengyu and rushed over.

The location of the storage bag was in an alley just across the street from the busy city. When the two of them rushed over, they happened to see two men with shoulders and shoulders hunched together, burying their heads and tossing the bags in their hands. "purse".

Lin Xiuran's storage bag is made of brocade, embroidered with auspicious clouds and wishful patterns with gold and silver thread, and inlaid with bright pearls, even an ignorant mortal can see this The storage bag is expensive, but it's no wonder these two thieves are after him.

The two thieves were still trying to figure out how to open the storage bag, Lin Xiuran was already ashamed and annoyed, he couldn't bear it any longer, he rushed forward with one stride, and grabbed the little thief holding the money bag .

"You thief, how courageous you are!" Lin Xiuran was trembling with anger, but due to the way of heaven, he couldn't do too much to ordinary people, and he was afraid of tainting karma, so he could only grab his storage bag back.

Yin Chengyu didn't make a sound from the side, just moved a step calmly, blocked the retreat of the two thieves, and selectively gave the "no use of spells" that the head of the mountain and his master had instructed before going down the mountain. Forgotten in the back of his mind, he raised his hand and tapped a few times, and then arranged a formation to isolate the outside world.

Seeing their sudden appearance, the two thieves didn't panic at all when the owner came to the door. Instead, they said with a playful smile: "So this money bag belongs to the two young masters? Our brothers just picked it up. Since the young master is here, let's Give it back to you."

Yin Chengyu knew at a glance that these two people must be habitual thieves, even if they were theoretically unable to argue for any results, but Lin Xiuran was so angry that his face was flushed now, he had to persuade him a few words, so he walked behind Lin Xiuran first, stroking his back Go help him out.

"Why are you so angry with ordinary people?" Yin Chengyu persuaded, "In less than 50 years, these two people will be a handful of loess. Since they don't have eyes to steal your things, they can just send them to the government. Why bother with such nonsense? ?”

As soon as the two thieves heard that Yin Chengyu wanted to send them to the government, they immediately lay down on the ground and howled: "Is there any reason for this? I kindly helped you find things, but they still want to send us to the government. We will pay you back!" !"

The two cried and howled, and the quarrel made Lin Xiuran's head dizzy. He was already full of anger, but he gritted his teeth with hatred when he was tossed like this. He didn't even use spiritual power. The scabbard beat the two of them up.Their retreat had already been blocked by Yin Chengyu, and they had nowhere to escape when they were beaten by Lin Xiuran. Only then did they realize that they had kicked an iron board, and quickly hugged their heads and begged for mercy.

Lin Xiuran beat them up to relieve his anger, and when he was about to discuss with Yin Chengyu how to deal with these two thieves, he heard a chuckle from behind him.

"Ordinary people decide the case, and they pay attention to 'getting stolen goods together'. If fellow Taoists want to report to the officials... this storage bag must be used as evidence, and it must be handed over first."
