The Trials of Leon Chen in the Mystic Valley Chapter 7

Yunzhou County is located on the southwest border, where many foreign ethnic groups come and go. There are foreign women with pear brocade handkerchiefs and black pleated skirts on their heads, mountain hunters with bows and arrows hanging on their waists and leather belts, and pink girls selling flowers in rattan baskets. There were four or five silver bracelets on her arms, exquisite silver ornaments on her hair, and her laughter was clear and sweet.

There were still people queuing up in front of the city gate, waiting to go in. There were sellers carrying burdens, green woolen sedans surrounded by servants, slide poles carried by foreigners, firewood sellers driving donkeys and trailers, and even a team escorting escort carts. A man who is running around in the world, chatting and laughing in a rough voice.

Leon Chen couldn't take his eyes off the various situations in the world, including merchants and pawns.

When he queued up in front of the tall city gate and saw Yunzhou City soldiers checking the way in for those entering the city, Leon Chen paused and quickly turned to look at his senior brother.

Victor Shi didn't squint and handed it over calmly ---

Leaves? !

Leon Chen stared dumbfounded as the gatekeeper took the leaves, inspected them as usual, and without even asking a question, asked for a few copper coins for the city tax, and then let him go.

Leon Chen was not surprised that his senior brother had copper coins on his body. After all, his daily food and clothing were all bought by puppets in the market town with secular coins.

No cultivator buys something without paying, and even most demonic cultivators will not use stones as gold to deceive mortals, because everything in this world has cause and effect, and although most of them are insignificant, they cannot withstand the tricks of fate. What if he failed to pay once, causing that ordinary person to starve to death because he didn't have enough to eat three meals a day, and that person was destined to become a general in a dozen years?

Cultivators who seize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as their own are inherently a thorn in the side of Heaven. If they don't want to be hacked to death during the tribulation, and don't want to be tricked by Heaven's fate, it's better to stay safe.

However, if they encounter a natural treasure like Shi Zhonghuo, many cultivators would rather risk getting into trouble and want to snatch it. Everyone is lucky, maybe they will get lucky? As long as the benefits are sufficient, principles can be thrown away at the discretion. In the same way, as long as they are not short of money, cultivators will not take the risk of owing karma in the world just to save a few money.

When Leon Chen entered the city gate, he grabbed the leaf in his hand.

No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary leaf, which had fallen from the Tangli tree in the Black Abyss Valley.

"A blind trick?" Leon Chen asked.

Victor Shi nodded and did not leave in a hurry. He motioned for Leon Chen to stop and stay at the city gate for a while.

Sure enough, within a short while, Leon Chen saw several bizarre scenes: a short beggar handed a broken bowl to a guard guard, a Taoist nun in green took out a handkerchief, a child handed over a candied haws, and even an old man who couldn't find any sundries. He stomped his feet and stole the hairpin from the aunt in front of him. After passing the test, he inserted it back in without anyone noticing. His skill was so good that the aunt didn't even loose her bun.

"Hahaha, so stupid. Can't he use copper plates as road guides?" Leon Chen laughed so hard.

The old man who had just entered the city gate had a sharp ear and eyes, and he was suddenly surprised when he heard the sound. Then he glared at Leon Chen angrily and muttered: "Which junior family is this? I don't know how to respect the elders, and I don't know--"

The voice stopped suddenly, and the old man stared at Victor Shi beside Leon Chen with his eyes widened.

The old man laughed dryly, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and took two stiff steps back. When Victor Shi didn't respond, the old man immediately ran away.

Leon Chen watched the whole process and looked back at Victor Shi thoughtfully.

It seems that senior brother is very powerful! It's a pity that I can't write it down so that I can know it tomorrow.

Turning his eyes, Leon Chen thought that he actually had a second jade ball on his body.

The one on his wrist was obtained by hard work when he was fifteen years old, and it recorded the memory of the whole day when he discovered the box.

For the next two years, Victor Shi still hung a green jade ball for his junior brother every day, and changed it at night after Leon Chen fell asleep, so Leon Chen still has a jade ball that belongs to today on his neck.

---We must find a way to destroy this jade ball today! The reason was that it was the first time I went down the mountain today, the first time I saw so many people, and I wanted to learn how cultivators live in the secular world, such as going into the city.

Leon Chen secretly encouraged himself.

"Brother, I can do this..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a stack of cakes wrapped in lotus leaves in front of him.

Victor Shi took the cake and glanced at his junior brother in confusion: Didn't you say you were hungry?

Leon Chen quickly took the bag of snacks, considered his words, and when he was about to speak again in an emotional voice, he suddenly felt furry on his back.

He looked around in shock and realized that many eyes were fixed on him and his senior brother.

There are many people in foreign costumes in Yunzhou City. There are people who wear bamboo hats and veils so that no trace of skin is exposed, and there are also many people who wear exaggerated feathers and metal pieces to decorate their headbands. Like Victor Shi, his long hair is left untied and untied, which is a serious problem in the Central Plains. His clothes were disheveled, which was not unusual in this place.

Dressed in red clothes and a long robe with wide sleeves, his handsome appearance attracted the admiration of many.

Yunzhou County has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and elegant bells and whistles. There are as many good-looking men and women as crucian carp crossing the river.

Victor Shi's demeanor and appearance are all different from those of the world, and more people are paying attention to him. In addition, Leon Chen is also a fair, handsome, and energetic young man. At the age of seventeen, he should get married. Most of the foreign women in the southwest are enthusiastic and don't shy away from seeing people on the street. They laugh frequently, and some even throw bright dew-stained bouquets at them.

Before, the city gate was crowded, and there were people lining up vertically. There were only a limited number of people who could see the appearance of the senior brothers. Leon Chen did not feel the pressure of sitting on pins and needles. At this moment, Leon Chen looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed, and there was a strange feeling lingering in his heart. .

Those beautiful and graceful women, when their passionate eyes looked at Victor Shi, made Leon Chen feel inexplicably unhappy.

Before Leon Chen could calm down, he suddenly felt a tightness on his shoulders. He looked up and saw that his senior brother was gently holding his shoulders, walked forward for a distance, and then led him into a shop.

Mortal shops rarely have plaques or any words written on them. They only hang a cloth banner as a signboard. A hammer is painted in front of the blacksmith shop, a big pot is painted in front of the teahouse, a gourd is painted in front of the restaurant, and the shoe seller naturally has a shoe painted on it.

There are many foreign ethnic groups in Yunzhou City, and not many people wear Han shoes. Ordinary people still make their own shoes at home. Of course, the shoe shop business is not very good. The shop is narrow and dark. After the two brothers came in, there was no place to turn around in the shop. All gone.

The clerk hurriedly ran out of the back hall. Seeing how hard he was squeezing sideways, Leon Chen touched his nose and said, "It's too narrow here. Brother, help me buy it. I'll wait at the door."

Victor Shi nodded and didn't care.

He had seen what size his junior brother wore today and remembered it very clearly. Although there is a mixture of dragons and snakes in Yunzhou City, he is not worried about his junior brother even taking a few steps away from him.

Besides, since he entered the city, he had not disguised himself, nor had he avoided getting close to Leon Chen. Anyone who Leon Chen could not afford to offend would probably not want to offend him easily. Leon Chen could deal with those juniors who didn't know him with one hand, so Victor Shi had nothing to worry about.

Leon Chen stood on the side of the street. Next to the shoe shop was a shop selling cloth and hats. He was not interested and could only look around in boredom.

The stall selling wonton noodles on the street corner was very novel in Leon Chen's eyes. He held the cake in his hand, picked out a piece at random and ate it seriously.

The red bean filling is a bit sweet.

Leon Chen had passed the age of loving sweets. He hesitantly stretched out his fingers to fiddle with a few cakes, trying to find different flavors. He had no idea that most of the people eating on the street were young children. A handsome young man didn't care. He has an indescribably clean temperament, and looks like he doesn't know the world and is easy to traffic in.

The human traffickers are not looking for death. They have been around for many years and they are very discerning.

Only rich families can raise such a boy. The clothes Leon Chen wears are ordinary in color, but the material is cloud brocade from the largest cloth shop in Yunzhou City. He is not a three-year-old kid who can't speak. He is not a human trafficker. You'd have to be crazy to attack him.

Just when Leon Chen was eating cakes and looking at the strange things, suddenly someone squeezed out of the crowd and called him in surprise:

"Chen Shidi, why did you come here? Where is your servant?"

Not thinking that this person was talking to him at all, Leon Chen continued to eat cakes casually. Well, this one is made from glutinous rice, it's too sticky.

Leon Chen was confused and found a piece of residue stuck in his inner molar. He quickly lowered his head and closed his mouth and tried to lick it with the tip of his tongue.

Unexpectedly, the man was not angry at all, but instead stretched out his hand in a familiar manner: "Brother Chen, your family must be looking for you in a hurry. Come back with me quickly."

Leon Chen reacted sharply, took a step back to avoid the hand, and looked up at the man with a puzzled look.

The man was dressed in brocade robes and followed by a group of servants. He was smiling warmly, regardless of the strange expressions on his followers.

"Brother Chen doesn't recognize me anymore. I took you to Akiye Temple three years ago!"

Leon Chen's expression became even weirder: "You have recognized the wrong person."

There are no mortals in the Black Abyss Valley, and there are no temples.

"Yes, Master, you must have admitted your mistake." The boy behind the brocade-robed Master also reminded him in a low voice.

"Shut up!" Mr. Jinpao scolded his entourage, and looked at Leon Chen with regretful and helpless eyes, "Is little brother Chen's illness not getting better yet? I am returning to Yunzhou this time and am about to visit the Chen family. I will take you with me. Go home!"

Leon Chen was frightened by the strange look in his eyes, and couldn't help but take another step back, just in time to bump into Victor Shi.

"Senior brother?"

Victor Shi glanced at everyone outside the door and left with Leon Chen.

"Hey, little brother Chen! Wait, who are you? Do you want to kidnap the young master of the Chen family?" Young Master Jinpao shouted angrily from behind, but Victor Shi walked far away.

Leon Chen quickly explained to his senior brother: "This man has a problem with his brain. He talks to himself when he comes up. I ignored him."

Victor Shi's eyes were filled with coldness, and he heard the anxious voice of the entourage of the young master in brocade robes---

"Master, what's wrong with you? There's only one young master in the Chen family, and his age doesn't match the one just now..."

"What? That's impossible!"

Young Master Jinpao pointed in the direction in which Leon Chen had gone, and was horrified beyond words.

Wasn’t that idiot from the Chen family recognized as the master by Shi Zhonghuo? Why is it different from what he remembers? This fool is not from the Chen family?

As long as there is fire in the stone, it doesn't matter if he becomes a demon. In this life, he never wants to be trapped in a small sect until death! Leon Chen, a fool, can become a first-generation demon cultivator, can he?
