Chapter 705

Yancheng.

Heavy snow fell.

No one dared to stay on the street.

Anyone who could walk outside had a high realm.

However, even in such weather, the city gates and other important places still needed to be guarded.

At this moment, there were two foundation-building monks guarding the city gate.

The two were wrapped tightly, wearing warm jade around their waists, and standing in the city gate without being touched by a single snowflake.

But they could still feel the biting cold.

The short guard tightened his robe again and whispered, "It's so cold... Do you still have some soju? Give me some."

The tall guard had to reluctantly take out a pot of boiling soju from his arms.

The short guard took it and wanted to drink it all.

The tall guard quickly snatched it away, fearing that it would be drunk up by this unscrupulous friend.

The two were arguing.

Suddenly a voice sounded.

"My two benefactors, can you let me enter the city?"

The two guards stopped immediately and looked at the newcomer.

This was a monk of medium build and thin.

The monk's robe was tattered and full of patches.

At first glance, there was no spiritual pressure, not much different from these foundation-building monks.

The short guard casually slapped his storage bag, and a pen and paper appeared in his hand. He immediately asked, "What's your name? What realm? What are you doing in Yancheng?"

The young monk put his hands together and smiled, "My name is Du'e, and my Nascent Soul is perfect. I was ordered by my master to travel in the dark domain. As I walked, I came to Yancheng."

Hearing the words "Nascent Soul Perfection", the two guards almost fainted.

Oh my God.

Is he really a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The tall guard asked in doubt, "Master is really a Nascent Soul cultivator? Don't joke with us."

The short guard stared at Du'e and sneered, "Recently, there are often people pretending to be cultivators to come in and cheat for food and drink. I didn't expect that there are such people among the monks."

Du'e shook his head, "Monks don't lie."

After saying that, he revealed the aura of the Nascent Soul.

The two guards were very close and couldn't bear the spiritual pressure, so they knelt down on the spot.

Du'e hurriedly helped them up, "Two donors, now you believe that I am a Nascent Soul cultivator, right?"

The tall guard nodded like pounding garlic, "I believe it, I really believe it now."

The short guard didn't dare to get up, still kneeling on his knees, "I just bumped into the master, I hope you can forgive me!"

He was about to kowtow directly.

He was only building the foundation, but the other party was a Nascent Soul, more than enough to be his ancestor.

If it were some narrow-minded Nascent Soul cultivators, I'm afraid they would destroy him at a glance.

This is exactly why he begged for mercy without saying anything.

Du'e quickly helped him up, "The duty of a guard is to guard the pass and interrogate people coming and going."

"I understand your difficulties and do not hate you."

The short guard was stunned, "Master... Master, are you serious about what you said?"

Du'e nodded, "Really."

"Please take the trouble to make a pass for me."

"I will not stay in Yancheng for too long."

"Okay, okay." The two of them agreed.

After a while, Du'e took the pass and entered Yancheng.

The white snow fell all over the sky, but it could not get close to him at all.

Du'e looked at Yancheng and suddenly pointed to the mountainside in the distance and asked, "May I ask what the cave there is called?"

The two guards said in unison, "Chang'an Pavilion!"

"Who is the owner of the cave?"

"Of course it's Master Zhang!"

Du'e was thoughtful and bowed slightly, "I want to see Master Zhang, can you two donors point me to a way?"

The two were flattered.

They had never received such a great gift from the Yuanying Great Cultivator.

The short guard pointed to the north and said, "Master, just go north and go straight to the City Lord's Mansion."

"Master Zhang has been in seclusion for many years and rarely comes out. If you want to meet Master Zhang, you must report to Li Yin and Li Gongfeng."

Du'e chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, "Thank you two donors, you will definitely accumulate merits and make good connections in the future."

"Yes, yes, Master is right." The two nodded repeatedly.

Du'e said again, "By the way, I love to eat and drink. This is my first time in this treasure land, and I don't know much about it. Can you two donors recommend some snacks to me?"

The two guards talked to each other and immediately introduced the famous snacks in the city to Du'e.

Long after Du'e left, the two guards were still amazed.

"I didn't expect that there would be a Yuanying master who is so approachable!"

"Yes, this Master Du'e is different from any monk I have seen before."

"In the future, we should not judge people by appearance."

"That makes sense! We must be more careful in the future. If we run into someone with a bad temper, even if we are just doing things that don't go well, we will probably be killed by a finger."

...

City Lord's Mansion.

Li Yin is browsing the industry report of Yancheng this year.

Although Yancheng is not as good as Gongcheng and Xiangcheng, there are more than a dozen real industries around it.

It can be said that it is the food and clothing of countless people.

Once something goes wrong, the Gong family will put pressure on him.

Master Zhang has been in seclusion for many years and has always been a hands-off boss.

He is in charge of all these specific matters.

At that time, the pressure from the Gong family will naturally fall on his shoulders.

"Sir, have some snacks."

A soft voice sounded.

Then a mature and plump figure twisted her waist and came to Li Yin with a plate of snacks.

The woman picked up a piece of dessert with two fingers and gently put it into Li Yin's mouth.

Li Yin laughed and grabbed the plump part.

The woman blushed and immediately complained, but then half-heartedly fell into Li Yin's arms.

With the warm jade and fragrance in his arms, Li Yin also sighed a little.

The woman's name is Jin Ying, she is a Jindan cultivator, very beautiful, and many cultivators in Yancheng favor her.

A year ago, her Taoist partner went out to hunt monsters, but was buried in the monster's belly.

Several Yuanying cultivators planned to recruit her as a concubine.

In the end, Jin Ying chose him.

He naturally knew why.

Because he was Zhang Zhenren's confidant.

As long as Zhang Zhenren didn't go out, he would be the cultivator with the highest status in Yancheng.

Jin Ying was a smart woman, and she naturally knew who to rely on to get the greatest value.

He was just greedy for Jin Ying's beauty.

The two got what they needed and were happy.

Just when Li Yin was about to have some fun, a voice sounded outside the door at an inopportune time.

"I am Du'e, and I come to see Li Yin, the Li Gongfeng."

Li Yin cursed inwardly and quickly withdrew his hand.

Jin Ying also immediately tidied up her clothes and hair, and stood beside him respectfully.

Li Yin then said loudly, "Ahem... come in."

A monk who looked very poor strode over the threshold and came into his sight.

The monk was holding a few paper bags in his hands, which were bulging with things.

Li Yin did not underestimate this person because of this.

He had been in the Jin family for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of people.

There are countless people who appear poor but are actually noble.

Especially some old monsters, who have the habit of turning into mortals and pretending to be mortals.

Du'e stepped forward and presented the pass, "I am Du'e, this is the pass."

"I came to Yancheng to travel, and I want to meet Master Zhang."

"I hope Master Li can introduce me to someone."
