  Chapter 307 Old Man (for subscription)

   Zhang Jing then closed his eyes and stood still, feeling a sudden coolness in his mind.

   It seems a lot easier.

  After a long time,

   Zhang Jing opened his eyes, and a blue light flashed in Zhang Jing's eyes.

   And the beads didn't move any more, even if Zhang Jing continued to shine from the sun, there was no blue light.

   Zhang Jing twisted her neck, but didn't find anything different about her body.

   Except that I feel a little clear and clear.

   "Huh."

   Zhang Jing exhaled slightly, and put the beads back into his arms.

   I don't know what is thinking in the eyes.

   Then, he stood up and started to walk west.

  After thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything, and Zhang Jing wouldn't continue to waste time.

  Maybe, the bead will only work after encountering that kind of weird thing.

  Shangyuan Mansion,

  The state capital was mentioned in the message Han Qianshu gave him.

  The staff of the secret spy department once found traces of the White Lotus Demon Sect's activities in Shangyuan Mansion.

   Zhang Jing's first stop is here.

  Different from Zhang's status in Nanling Mansion, Shangyuan Mansion does not have any power that can cover the sky with one hand.

   Jindan forces are still in the minority after all,

  The most common force in the Central Plains is the power of the innate realm.

  There are several small sects in Shangyuan Mansion, such as King Kong Gate, Shuiyue Temple, and Iron Sword Society.

  It is said that it is a small force, but in fact it is not small, only relatively speaking.

  For example, compared with the Qingcheng Sword Sect, which has a great master of Jindan, these three forces appear to be relatively small.

  If compared with the forces with only first-class masters in charge, then these forces are very strong.

  Of course, this Iron Sword Society has nothing to do with the Southern Jin Iron Sword Gate.

   It's just that the names are somewhat similar.

  Among the three forces, the King Kong Sect is the strongest, which all stems from the strength of the King Kong Sect master.

  The most famous record in the past was that Qi Hong, the master of the Vajra Sect, fought undefeated against the three innate masters alone.

   With this, Qi Hong's prestige was established.

  Diamond Gate was also able to overwhelm the Iron Knife Society and Shuiyue Temple because of Qi Hong's reputation.

   Zhang Jing had already done these tasks when he went to the capital.

   He will not be caught blind as soon as he comes to Shangyuan Mansion.

  The town governor of Shangyuan Mansion is called Jiang Wen, but Zhang Jing didn't go to visit first.

   It won't be too late to find him if we find out some clues.

  Walk for several days, and experienced some things in that weird space during the period, Zhang Jing didn't think about going to investigate now.

   At least one day off.

  The donkeys of the production team are not that useful either.

  The city where Zhang Jing is now is a small city under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan Mansion.

   is called Fishing City.

  In terms of scale, it is similar to Goose City in Nanling Mansion, or even worse.

   This is Zhang Jing's first impression of Yucheng.

   Zhang Jing doesn't know why it is called Yucheng, maybe it is because it is rich in fish.

   "Excellent cooking cakes, selling cooking cakes."

   "Candied haws, candied haws."

   "Wowotou, four for a penny."

   "Spinach is cheap, spinach is cheap."

   Zhang Jing happened to be in time, today happened to be a gathering in Yucheng, so it was very lively.

  Finally, Zhang Jing stopped in front of a noodle stall.

  He smelled a fragrance, very fresh, it is worth Master Zhang to taste.

  There are a lot of people waiting to eat at the table of the noodle stall. Obviously, the taste is really good.

   "Guest officer, what are you here for?" The servant who greeted came forward and greeted Zhang Jing.

   "What's the best noodle here?" Zhang Jing asked softly.

   "Look at what you said, the noodles in our noodle restaurant are all delicious, including fish soup noodles, fish meat noodles, black fish noodles, and herring noodles."

   "Okay, don't memorize it here, just have fish noodles," Zhang Jing waved his hand.

  This is called Fishing City, so the fish should be pretty good.

   "Come on, then guest officer, please find a place to sit down first," the servant put on a towel and bent over.

   After that, I went to greet other people.

   But he didn't care much about Zhang Jing, he was reduced to eating noodles, so he must not be a rich master.

  If he really had money, he would have gone to that big restaurant a long time ago.

   Zhang Jing glanced around, and there was no free table, so he could only make do with it.

  However, fortunately, Mr. Zhang has no cleanliness, and he doesn't look down on these ordinary people.

   There is no arrogance because of the high status.

  A mountain is higher than a mountain, maybe there are some big players in the game world hidden among these ordinary people.

  Afterwards, Zhang Jing came to a nearby table.

  There are two people on the table, one old and one young.

   The old is very old, and the young is very little.

  The old ones are almost sixty years old, which is very old in this era.

  The young Zhang Jing is estimated to be only seven or eight years old.

   "Mister, is there anyone here?" Zhang Jing cupped his hands.

   "No one, just sit down, little brother," the old man took a puff of his pipe, showing his big yellow teeth and smiling at Zhang Jing.

   "Thank you very much," Zhang Jing nodded and sat opposite the old man.

  Seeing Zhang Jing, the children next to the old man seemed a little scared, and hurriedly hid from the old man.

   "I made my little brother laugh, this kid is a bit shy," the old man smiled, and patted the head of the kid beside him.

   "Normal, half of the children are like this," Zhang Jing smiled with narrowed eyes.

  Hearing what Zhang Jing said, the old man took a puff of welding smoke and said in a low voice:

   "It's not normal. It's only been like this for the past two years. Before, this kid was not afraid of strangers."

   "Oh, I would like to hear more about it," Zhang Jing said as he fixed his body and looked at the old man.

  Just from the words of the old man, Zhang Jing can tell that something has definitely happened in Yucheng in recent years.

   Combined with the news investigated by the Secret Service Division.

  Maybe it has something to do with the White Lotus Sect.

  Of course, even if it wasn't nothing, Zhang Jing had nothing to lose.

  The old man turned his head and looked around, knowing that he was talking too much, he shook his head hastily,

road:

   "Old man, I am talking nonsense for a while, so don't worry about it, little brother."

   It is naturally impossible for Zhang Jing to believe such an answer. It may be that the old man is just thinking about something.

   Zhang Jing took out a few copper coins from his pocket and placed them in front of the old man.

   smiled and said:

   "I have invited the old gentleman to this meal."

   "Well, what's the point of this?" The old man showed some smiles on his face.

   "I'm traveling all over the world. What I like to hear most is these anecdotes, and I hope the old man can explain in detail," Zhang Jing said with a smile, narrowing her eyes.

  Compared with the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, a few copper coins are really nothing.

  The old man looked around, and quietly stuffed the few copper coins Zhang Jing gave him into his sleeve.

   As if afraid that Zhang Jing would go back on his word.

  Seeing Zhang Jing like this, Zhang Jing smiled, it seems that this old gentleman is really cautious.

  The old man moved his seat and sat next to Zhang Jing, holding the seven or eight-year-old child in his hand.

   Zhang Jing also moved closer to cooperate.

  The old man lowered his head slightly, and lowered his voice a little,

   "So that the little brother knows, this word can be heard by me, and it can be heard by you. Don't let outsiders listen to it."

   "It's natural, I have the right to listen to it as a story," Zhang Jing nodded.

  The old man nodded slightly and said in a low voice:

   "According to rumors, two years ago, a fish demon appeared outside our fishing city, and it only ate this child. At first, no one believed it, but gradually, children from villages outside the city disappeared.

   It caused everyone to panic. My grandson also heard this, so he was very afraid of strangers. "

   "Then is it true that the child was swallowed by the fish demon?" Zhang Jing narrowed his eyes.

  Before he said it, he didn't really believe what someone said to him about monsters.

  However, what happened a few days ago subverted his cognition and made him believe it.

   "If it's fake, my grandson won't be afraid. He has a playmate since he was a child and it is said that he was eaten by that fish demon," the old man said softly.

   "If you don't get close to the water, don't you get it?"

   "The fish demon will go ashore."

   "Is it really made by the fish demon? Has anyone really seen it?" Zhang Jing asked here, and took out a few copper coins from his arms and put them in the hands of the old man.

   "Mister, I want to hear the truth."

"Hey, old man, I have a friend who saw it once. Actually, there are no fish monsters. They are all for scaring people. They are actually made by a group of men in black," the old man snorted, picked up the copper plate and put it in inside the sleeves.

  Zhang Jing nodded, he understands making friends out of thin air.

   "Since it was done by people, why didn't anyone in the city report it to the officials? Aren't the adults in Zhenwusi specialized in investigating such things?"

   Zhang Jing's fingers tapped the table regularly.

"Little brother, I don't know. Don't say that you are reporting to the officials. Even if you spread a few more words in this fishing city, you will die strangely at night. So, the people in this fishing city, yes This is a taboo."

   "Old man, I just told you because you are a young man, since you are a pedestrian, you should not stay here any longer.

  Someone used their martial arts skills to investigate this thing before, but it disappeared the next day. Later, someone found two shoes in the river."

  The old man took another draught of welding fume, which he was used to.

  Zhang Jing frowned and said softly:

   "If the fishing city is so dangerous, why don't I see that everyone looks scared, and there seem to be a lot of people on the market."

   "That all happened a while ago. In recent months, there has not been a single case of missing children near Yucheng, so everyone has relaxed a little. Perhaps, there is really nothing wrong."

  The old man shook his head slightly.

   Zhang Jing showed a dazed look. He was basically sure that the disappearance of the child was definitely related to the White Lotus Sect.

   As for the lack of movement during this period, it is probably because the aftermath of the previous riot in the capital caused the White Lotus Sect to dare not show up in Dongqi recently.

  When the emperor was angry, the people below naturally did not dare to slack off.
