Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

The chaotic barrier covered the sky, and even though the sun was brightest at noon, the entire city was dark in the evening.The lanterns on both sides of the road are lit, the whole city is full of lights, the walls of the houses are painted with colorful and unknown totems, and the veils of various colors are flying with the wind.

All kinds of strange costumes, people and demons with the appearance of the body are freely mixed together.There were people fighting in the middle of the road; some people were flirting recklessly on the side of the street; in the small building, one died of drinking, everyone applauded, and threw the body out along the window, just in front of Lu Xiang. far away.

There are those who don't cover their bodies with clothes, there are those who are drunk, and there are those who are obscene and obscene.

But the strange thing is that everyone is laughing, even the corpse that fell in front of Lu Xiang has a satisfied smile on his face, as if he has really found the bliss in the world here.

Everything in front of him made Lu Xiang feel strongly uncomfortable. For a while, he forgot where he was born and what he should do next.

Just at this time, a burst of wanton laughter suddenly came from the small building on the second floor next to it, and seven or eight young men with obscene faces sat on the fence, dangling their legs, and yelled at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang followed the voice and looked over, and there was a young man who laughed and said, "Where is the little beauty? You dare to enter Yucheng alone, aren't you afraid that your brothers will eat you?"

After the young man finished speaking, the people around him started laughing.

Lu Xiang reacted for a while before realizing that the group of people were teasing him. He was stunned for a moment, but he was not so nervous anymore.

This play-play is enough to show that Lu Xiang's disguise was successful, and no one could see that he was not a girl at all.So Lu Xiang quickly let go of the discomfort in his heart, put on an arrogant expression, and walked forward without looking sideways.

Lu Xiang's ignorance still made them feel very funny. They laughed a lot, and then with a "whoosh", the young man who spoke quickly jumped in front of Lu Xiang's eyes, with his hands behind his back, he thought he was cool and stopped him. On his way, he said loudly again: "I have never seen such a beautiful sister, but... this chest is too flat."

A person on the second floor immediately said: "You really don't understand, my sister is still young, she hasn't started to grow yet, my brothers have grown up after being rubbed."

Even if it wasn't a real girl, Lu Xiang was quite angry when he heard this. He immediately changed his face, and when he was about to yell, he suddenly felt a gust of wind in front of him, and then the young man who was standing in front of him just now was suddenly thrown away. It went up to the sky, and then fell down suddenly with a loud noise.Before the young man could scream out in pain, he kicked towards his heart again, and his body immediately flew out sideways, heading straight for the two-story building on the side of the street.

After a while, there was a "bang", and the pillars of the second-floor building were broken by his body. A group of men sitting on the fence on the second floor fell down like dumplings, and there were screams one after another.

Although Lu Xiang didn't see anything clearly, he knew that Sijun did it.And Sijun only used a small amount of strength in order not to be exposed, otherwise none of this group of people would be able to breathe now.

Everyone around watching the excitement applauded and applauded, just like celebrating the New Year.

"Will you be killed?" Sijun returned to Lu Xiang's side, and said this in a tone just enough for the people around him to hear.

Lu Xiang was about to say that beating him to death was too much, but before he opened his mouth, Sijun said again: "Master."

This "Master" made Lu Xiang get goosebumps all over his body, feeling a little ashamed, but inexplicable and a little exciting.Lu Xiang secretly pinched his palm to calm himself down, and quickly recalled that he was playing a vicious character.

So Lu Xiang quickly entered the role, hooked half of his lips, and spoke lightly, like an innocent and evil girl, and said cheerfully: "Kill me."

But that being said, Lu Xiang still grabbed Sijun when no one was paying attention, deliberately slowing him down.The group of people took this opportunity to throw a bunch of hidden weapons at Sijun, and when Sijun raised his hand to block, they all jumped up and ran away, quickly disappearing.

Sijun retreated to Lu Xiang's side, cupped his hands and said, "Master, if there is a next time, I will directly beat him to death."

Lu Xiang snorted softly, and swept his haughty eyes over the people around him, and no one was yelling at him anymore, but many people still stared at him.So he raised his head slightly and continued to walk forward without looking sideways.

Sijunlu's move, although not shocking the whole Yucheng, should attract some people's attention. I don't know if there are any underground gamblers among them.

Lu Xiang wandered slowly in Yucheng. It seemed that he came in for the first time to watch the excitement, but he was actually looking around for the situation.Of course, from time to time, people will be stared at and questioned.

About the time of shopping for a cup of tea, Lu Xiang, who was immersed in the character and could not extricate himself, was suddenly grabbed by Sijun. The other party took out a veil, handed it to Lu Xiang, and said, "Master, put on the veil."

Lu Xiang didn't understand, so he shook his head and said, "Why do you wear it?"

There were still malicious eyes from all around, Sijun's eyes swept around slightly, and then said: "It's too eye-catching."

Lu Xiang was even more surprised, and whispered: "Isn't our purpose just to attract attention?"

Sijun was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and drew a talisman, an enchantment was formed instantly, blocking all the surrounding sounds and sights, and Sijun, who had been suppressing his coercion, was suddenly released at this moment, Lu Xiang was shocked, and looked up. Seeing Sijun's cool eyes and impatient expression.

"Put it on." The other party said coldly, Lu Xiang suddenly felt that he was quite swollen just now, and thought that the other party called "Master" a few times, and he really became the master...

Lu Xiang quickly confessed, and complained in a low voice: "Just wear it, let's be reasonable... Why are you so fierce... You have changed... You used to be very good to me, but now you are fierce every day..."

Having said that, Lu Xiang obediently took the veil and put it on, covering the lower half of his face, only revealing a pair of eyes full of autumn water.

Sijun still put on a dissatisfied face, and tightened Lu Xiang's outer shirt again, and then untied the barrier.

Lu Xiang hurriedly came out of the cowardly state just now, raised his chin and raised his eyebrows, and continued to sway.

In the afternoon, after wandering about one-third of Yucheng, Lu Xiang finally found a decent-looking inn to stay in.

After entering the guest room, Sijun immediately set up a barrier, and then Xingyuan and the others also got out of the Qiankun bag, and everyone got together and started to discuss.

Lu Xiangdao: "I noticed when I was on the road, someone was discussing the illegitimate daughter who stole the sword in "Looking for the Sword", but I haven't heard anyone linking us with that illegitimate daughter yet."

Xingyuan said: "Maybe someone has already thought of it, but they didn't say it in front of us."

Lu Xiang nodded: "But today we still attracted a certain amount of attention, and someone should go to Tianji Pavilion to ask."

Sijun said: "If it is a demon that can fly, it will take a day or two to go back and forth to Tianji Pavilion."

"We have already bought the news from Tianji Pavilion. If we can't find it, they will feel even more mysterious. But this is not enough to attract the attention of underground gambling houses. We should make a big ticket!" Lu Xiang closed his eyes and thought hard After thinking about it, he continued, "After the people who checked our identity came back from Tianji Pavilion, we must find a way to increase their suspicion, let them associate with "Xunjian Ji", and confirm our identity as soon as possible."

Everyone agreed, and briefly discussed the strategy, so today's combat deployment was completed, and they went back to their rooms to wash and sleep.

On the second day, Lu Xiang still went out wearing a veil, and went to several spiritual weapon shops in a row, picking out spiritual weapons that could hide his whereabouts, and bought a few random ones.

After three days in a row, Lu Xiang found that there were more people secretly looking at him, so after returning to the inn in the evening of the fourth day, he deliberately ate in the lobby downstairs and secretly observed the reactions of other diners.

Sijun dutifully pretended to be a guard, standing aside and watching Lu Xiang eat.

The waiter at the inn is only twelve or thirteen years old, he is a half-demon, he looks like a man, but he has cat ears on his head and a long cat tail behind him.This appearance must be quite conspicuous on the outside, but in Yucheng, let alone cat ears, even if you have a human body and a dog's head, no one will think it strange.

Lu Xiang ordered a large table of food, including a dish of steamed river crab. After serving the dishes, the waiter in the shop asked Lu Xiang if he wanted him to serve and peel the crabs.

The waiter is clean and cute, smart and sweet-mouthed, and people who come to this inn are usually not wary of him.Lu Xiang also agreed to let him peel the crabs, but it was not because he was good-looking, but because he felt that the waiter in the shop might have something to say to him.

Sure enough, the waiter peeled the crabs aside after cleaning his hands, and his mouth was not idle. He first said tentatively: "Miss really knows the goods, and the dishes I ordered are all the specialties of our store, and they are not cheap. These things are bought by many customers." Reluctant to order, the young lady ordered this table without blinking her eyes."

Lu Xiang, who has lived in the country for 16 years and has never seen anything in the world, said boldly: "What kind of good things are you? My servants eat better than this."

The waiter in the shop nodded his head, and continued to flatter: "Yes, our Yucheng is a small place, and the lady comes from a rich family. After all, I am used to seeing good things."

Lu Xiang keenly felt that this was a temptation—so the rumor that he might be the illegitimate daughter who stole the sword had spread within a certain range.

Lu Xiang pretended to be vigilant, pulled Sijun's hand slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What's none of your business?"

The shop waiter also played with Lu Xiang, pretending to be innocent and shrinking his neck timidly, and said cautiously: "I feel a little envious of Miss, the villain has never left Yucheng since he was born."

Lu Xiang stared at the waiter for a while, and the other party became more obedient, so Lu Xiang let go of Sijun, regained his composure, and continued: "There is nothing good outside, and all the aristocratic families and decent families are all hypocrites. It's not as real as the people in Yucheng."

"Really?" The waiter blinked and said, "Is that why Miss came to Yucheng?"

Lu Xiang snorted softly, and said, "You kid, why do you care about other people's affairs? Take care of yourself, otherwise you will be beaten to death one day and make cat meat soup without knowing why."

The shop waiter smiled sweetly, and continued: "Miss Haihan, because she is so beautiful, the guests who come and go all day are talking about her, and it is hard for a villain not to notice her."

Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows and said, "What did they say?"

The waiter said: "They said that Miss stole something and came to Yucheng to avoid disaster."

Lu Xiang quickly put on a surprised expression, and then quickly grabbed Sijun's wrist to pretend to be fierce, and then said: "Next time you hear someone say that, tell me, I will have my guards pull out their Tongue!"

The shop waiter nodded: "Well, if someone talks nonsense again, I will definitely tell the lady immediately."

Lu Xiang was quiet for a while, then asked again: "Did they say anything else?"

"Er...they also said..." the waiter said with a troubled look on his face.

Lu Xiang said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid, I don't blame you, you just say it."

The shop waiter took a deep breath, and continued, "They said that the young lady is playing around with the money all day, she's really stupid."

Lu Xiang slammed the table and shouted, "What!"

The waiter hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, very obedient.

Lu Xiangshun breathed a sigh of relief, panting and said, "Get up and tell me, why did they say that?"

The waiter stood up timidly, and said in a low voice: "Because... because... I saw that the young lady has been shopping in the spirit weapon store these days. Fake products are even worse, they are all deceiving newcomers..."

Lu Xiang pretended to be angry and said: "Nonsense! Isn't it all rumored, is there everything in Yucheng?"

The waiter from the shop shook his head and said, "There are many good things in Yucheng. But it's usually hard to find them, and we don't even need to buy them here."

Lu Xiang said a little anxiously: "How can I get it?"

The waiter lowered his voice and said, "Either grab it, or...gamble."

After Lu Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but clenched his hands tightly, and at the same time couldn't help but glanced at Sijun.

The two exchanged a message with their eyes: finally... to the point.

Lu Xiang paused, then asked, "Where are you going to grab it?"

The shop waiter said: "Miss is looking for a spiritual weapon that can hide the trace, right? Those who own this kind of spiritual weapon are probably for avoiding disasters, and anyone who holds it can treat it as a treasure. Besides, the traces are hidden, and the lady has no place to grab it if she wants to." Rob."

"That's right." Lu Xiang sighed irritably, and continued, "How do you bet?"

The shop waiter said: "This is quite simple. There are many big casinos in Yucheng, where people can gamble on all kinds of treasures. But the casino opened by Mr. Jing Fan is the one that gambles with the most spiritual weapons. Miss, you can go there and have a look."

Lu Xiang lowered his head and fell into deep thought. The waiter was also very smart and didn't say any more. He quietly peeled the crabs. After peeling, the waiter asked Lu Xiang humbly if he still needed to serve.

Lu Xiang shook his head and sent him away.

Because of the important news, this dinner was eaten in a hurry, Lu Xiang hurried back to the room after eating in a hurry, and asked Sijun to set up the barrier again, and started the discussion again.

Lu Xiang was a little excited, rubbed his hands together and said, "I think if I can't continue being a celestial master in the future, I can still sing opera! Have you seen that I have already deceived everyone in the city!"

Xingyuan immediately laughed at him and said, "So you are addicted to wearing skirts now? It will be great if you go to an opera in the future, you can wear skirts every day."

Lu Xiang tugged at his skirt aggrievedly to express that he didn't like it, Sijun knocked on the table and interrupted them, "Let's get down to business."

"Oh." Lu Xiang put aside Xingyuan's sarcasm for a while, and began to analyze what the shop waiter said to him just now, "I think so, now the people in Yucheng have begun to doubt our identities, and they will send us to an illegitimate daughter." Think about it."

Sijun nodded and said, "The waiter said so much today, just to lure us into the bait."

Lu Xiangdao: "That's right, the people behind him want to lure us to confirm our identity, let's show it off."

"Isn't that just about showing off?" Xing Yuan said with a little melancholy, "Hey, such a good opportunity, Xiao Ji Xiao Mushroom and I can't get the limelight, how annoying!"

Lu Xiang pouted and said, "I don't want to be in the limelight. Do you think I like the same skirt every day?"

Xingyuan glanced at Sijun who was drinking tea silently, and finally felt a little more balanced in his heart. He conjured up flower roots and pinched Lu Xiang's face, and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you don't like changing the skirt, some people like it."

Xingyuan immediately ran away after speaking, and quickly jumped into the Qiankun bag to hide.

Lu Xiang was confused by Xingyuan's nonsensical words, and was about to ask Sijun, but the other party stood up and left.

Lu Xiang was so baffled that he couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

After sleeping and waking up, Lu Xiang forgot what happened last night, changed into a new skirt that Sijun brought out, and left the inn to show off.

When they arrived at the gambling house mentioned by the waiter, they saw that the porch at the main entrance was all painted golden, inexplicably revealing the smell of a local rich man, noisy sounds came from inside, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts gathered here.

So Lu Xiang's appearance was simply fresh and refined, standing out from the crowd, and he was stared at as soon as he entered the door.

In view of the fact that Lu Xiang and the others had warned many people when they entered the city, those people only watched and did not approach.

Lu Xiang didn't feel much when people looked at him a few times. This was his first time entering a casino, and he was still a little excited.But before he was excited for a while, he felt that Sijun seemed to be in a bad mood suddenly, even with a human-leather mask on his face, he seemed to be showing a cool feeling.

Lu Xiang thought that Sijun was unhappy because he was too noisy, so taking advantage of no one's attention, he took Sijun's hand and pulled him into her, then squeezed his palm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Don't be angry, Just work hard."

Sijun nodded, and took advantage of the situation to pull Lu Xiang closer.

Then the two continued to walk in under the crowd's onlookers, and soon arrived at the first very lively hall.

This place is similar to the gambling house that Lu Xiang saw in the storybook. There are a bunch of people around each gaming table, which is very noisy.But this place is for gambling, not the goal of Lu Xiang and Sijun. The two continued to walk in, and finally saw the legendary gambling table where spiritual artifacts were used as bets when they reached the second hall.

As soon as Lu Xiang entered the door, a gorgeously dressed maid greeted him. The maid greeted Lu Xiang enthusiastically. Following her guidance, Lu Xiang gambled a few games of dice and won two innocuous gadgets.

Lu Xiang deliberately showed an expression of impatience, and left the gambling table.

The maid followed behind Lu Xiang and asked with a smile, "Miss, do you find it boring?"

"It's a trivial matter to be bored." Lu Xiang stared at the maidservant coldly, and said, "I know that since I entered Yucheng, you people have been spying on me secretly. Now that you know what I'm looking for, don't go around the corner , Tell me directly, is it here or not? If not, I will go to the next gambling house. You are not the only gambling house in Yucheng."

The maid hurriedly apologized without sincerity, and then said: "The maid originally wanted to take the young lady to get used to it. After all, no one can tell what is going on at the gambling table. I am afraid that you will lose in a hurry. Since the young lady is here to find the baby , the servant girl took the young lady directly to the VIP room on the second floor, and bet with my young master. The young master has all kinds of treasures in his hands. As long as the young lady can gamble with him with something of value, she will have a chance to win what the young lady wants. "

"Okay, got it." Lu Xiang showed a slightly eager expression.

The maid made a lot of pretentious gestures again, asking for instructions one at a time and which one to ask for instructions. After whetting Lu Xiang's appetite, she finally brought Lu Xiang and Sijun to the second floor.

Go upstairs and enter a new enchantment. The maid took Lu Xiang into a small hall with more luxurious furnishings. Looking at all kinds of shining spiritual weapons, some of them look quite powerful.

The easternmost gambling table was empty, so the maid brought Lu Xiang there, invited Lu Xiang to sit down, made him tea, and left soon.

The rest of the people still had to peek at them between big bets, Lu Xiang sat silently, Sijun stood beside him, his right hand inadvertently swept across the top of his head and patted him lightly, signaling him not to be nervous.

Why are you nervous?Lu Xiang secretly thought in his heart, with Sijun around, no problem is a problem.

The two didn't speak, and seemed to understand each other's meaning.

So they continued to remain silent, waiting for the mysterious Mr. Jing Fan to appear.

It didn't take long for the noisy people around to quiet down for a while. The voice of Mr. Jing Fan arrived before he arrived.

"Miss is waiting?" The voice was strangely deep and slow, as if eating too much meat, especially greasy.

Lu Xiang turned his head and saw a man in black striding towards him.

The man's facial features are correct, and his figure is also straight and tall. It is reasonable to say that he should be good-looking, but he is too oily and powdery, which makes people uncomfortable.

He looked at Lu Xiang with a smile on his face, and continued: "I couldn't get away with some things just now. It's my fault. Let the lady wait."

Lu Xiang was very disgusted with the posturing people, and said indifferently: "You are the owner of this gambling house, what is it, Mr. Jingfan?"

"Exactly." While speaking, Jing Fan had already walked up to Lu Xiang, saluted and continued, "As soon as Miss entered this Yucheng, I heard people say that Miss is beautiful. Today I only saw Miss. With this half of the face, I feel that those people are really vulgar, and they can't describe the beauty of the lady. I just don't know if I have the honor to see the beauty of the lady?"

Lu Xiang: "No."

Jing Fan: ...

"I'm impolite, I'm being rude." Jing Fan paused for a moment, then quickly laughed again, and continued, "Then... can I take the liberty to ask Miss's name?"

Lu Xiang: "No."

Jing Fan: ...
