Chapter Nine: Lights of Thousands of Houses

After much thought, Mo Jianchu finally added Dai Wangshu's postal card account.

As soon as the application message was sent, the application was approved and a very familiar message was replied: I passed your friend verification request, and now we can start chatting.

Mo Jianchu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took one look and closed the mailbox, ignoring her weird behavior.

[Staring into the Abyss] is full of too many unknown dangers, and it is never a good choice for him to fight alone.

Having a friend with an above-average IQ might be able to save your life in a critical moment.

The premise is that this person is trustworthy.

Mo Jianchu carried Ling Yao on his back and quickly walked through the jungle that blocked the sky and the sun.

It wasn't until he saw Lieyang City with thousands of lights from the mountainside that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lieyang City was built during the Third War between Gods and Demons, 700 years ago.

The wall is built of the hardest red rock, 60 meters high, 55 meters wide at the base, and 45 meters wide at the top. There are 115 enemy viewing platforms around the city, and there are horse roads all around.

The reason why people at that time spent a lot of energy to build such tight fortifications.

The reason is for no other reason than to resist the aftermath of the war between gods and demons.

In front of gods and demons, human beings are like grass.

Without these strict fortifications, mankind may have been completely extinct in the long history of history before we ushered in the "war-free era".

The sense of security that Lieyang City gives people is irreplaceable. Therefore, it is also one of the few metropolises that integrates military, trade, and culture, with a population of 9 million.

The lights of various colors, as bright as day, reflect a brilliant and unique scenery in the dark night.

The city of Lieyang at night is a paradise filled with dreams and illusions. Even the bright stars in the sky have to be outdone.

Mo Jianchu was walking on the bustling street, lined with a wide variety of exotic toys.

For example, children like colored paper drums, literati like bagpipes and harps, and various colors of damask, Luo, silk, satin, brocade, silk and other products are overwhelming.

The salesman also composed a ditty of his own and shouted enthusiastically to passers-by:

brought money,

Come and buy silk.

Know how to run a household and live a good life,

My husband praises me as a good wife.

There are gongs and drums,

It's so lively.

One or two is not too few,

Bought for kids to stop them from crying.



"This slogan sounds vulgar, but it is very close to life and captures women's desire to shop. It's not bad."

Mo Jianchu became curious and stood aside to learn a few words secretly. When he left, he was still muttering: "If I really can't leave [Staring into the Abyss], I will also become a salesman and travel around the world, free and easy."

Just spend the rest of your life."

At this time, there was a "pop" in the distance, and a colorful firework bloomed in the sky.

The people who were attracted looked up and saw bunches of dazzling light flying into the sky. When the fuse was burned to the end, golden flowers suddenly appeared in all directions, like colorful and shining golden flowers, blooming in the air, dazzling and shocking.

"It's so beautiful! It's so beautiful! I can see such beautiful fireworks in my life, and my trip to this world is not in vain! It's worth it, it's worth it in my life!"

"The Wu family is indeed a big family. Even a coming-of-age ceremony with two thousand gold can be so luxurious. Just one set of fireworks costs one thousand Singapore dollars, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's equivalent to our family's expenses for a month."

"Haha, what's that? In a few days, when the head of the Wu family takes a concubine, the pomp and circumstance will be several times greater than what it is now! Just wait and enjoy it!"

"Is there such a thing? Tell me, which girl is so lucky?!"

"Ah... I don't know who it is specifically. I just heard about it through hearsay."

"Tch! This kind of gossip is probably false! You can't believe it! You can't believe it!"

It was not only the onlookers who were disappointed, but also Mo Jianchu who was listening to the gossip.

He rolled his eyes, thinking that he promised Ling Yao that he would send her to Yingyue Altar, but he didn't say when.

Isn't it okay to wait until she wakes up before sending her there...

Otherwise, you will risk half your life, gain nothing, and do good deeds without leaving your name...

Why not pay a visit to the extremely wealthy Wu family first? If you don’t have enough money, you can still do some errands...

After making up his mind, he immediately carried Ling Yao to the location where the fireworks would be launched.

Not long after, a brightly lit and splendid mansion appeared in the field of vision.

A gold and silver plaque hangs on the top of the vermilion door, with two large characters "Wu Mansion" written in a flying phoenix on it.

Through the open door, you can see the pavilions, the winding verandahs, and the gravel paths under the steps.

The courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the gardens are lush and exquisite.

Dozens of busy servants shuttled among them, serving tea and water to the dignitaries in the courtyard.

When the guard guarding the gate saw Mo Jianchu coming in tattered clothes, he immediately stepped forward to stop him and yelled: "Stop! What are you doing here, you stinky beggar?!"

Mo Jianchu looked inside eagerly, "Ah this... I am a good friend of the second young lady of your Wu family. I heard that she is celebrating her birthday today, so I came here to congratulate you."

"Go away! Don't try to cheat me! I've seen too many stinky beggars like you! If you don't go away, don't blame me for being rude!" The guard wrinkled his thick and long eyebrows, raised his plump lips, and showed disdain on his face.

said.

Looking at him, Mo Jian thought for a moment that he had arrived at a pork stall.

This guy looks a bit too rugged, with a fat body, a fleshy face, fluffy hair, and dark and greasy skin, a very typical image of a butcher.

"Brother, don't be excited. I've already bought the gifts. If you don't let me in, won't the gifts be in vain?" Mo Jianchu said with a naive smile.

As soon as he heard that there was a gift, the guard's eyes suddenly lit up.

He quietly observed the surroundings, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he said politely: "My eldest daughter, Wu Jinyu, and second daughter, Wu Xiaoyan, both have the looks of a fish and a wild goose, and their appearance is as beautiful as the moon when the moon is over. Their virtues and talents are even known throughout the world.

There are countless suitors, big and small. Therefore, our Wu family has established a rule that all those who come to give gifts must be collected by servants like us. Since you are also here to give gifts to the second lady.

Yes, just leave it to me. If the second lady likes it, maybe I will meet you again."

"Very good! The gift is right behind me. Brother, please come closer and take a look!" Mo Jianchu pursed his lips behind him.

The guard curiously looked behind Mo Jianchu. Because the light was too weak, he noticed that Mo Jianchu was carrying a sleeping woman.

At first glance, I felt a little familiar, but when I lifted the green bamboo cloak and took a closer look, I was almost frightened out of my wits.

"The will-o'-the-wisp pattern on the forehead?!"

The guard was arrogant and domineering a moment ago, but now he is like a frightened mouse, kneeling tremblingly on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "The little man's dog's eyes can't see Mount Tai, and he didn't know that Lord Siming is coming! Please forgive me, Lord Siming."

Sin! Spare the villain’s life!”

Seeing this scene, Mo Jianchu was also shocked.

Although I had known for a long time that Ling Yao's status was not low, I never expected that she would be so intimidating and that even a disagreement could determine life or death.

If the members of the World-Destroying Cult knew that their revered Shi Ming was in his hands, he would be hunted down and killed as a hijacker.

By then, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to escape.

When he thought of this, Mo Jianchu covered the guard's mouth and pulled him to a secluded and dark corner: "Shh! Don't yell! You don't want your life to be decided here!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, even if you give me 10,000 courages, I wouldn't dare to disobey you, Lord Ghost." The guard's head was shaking like a rattle, for fear that his movements would be slow and the Lord would be unhappy.
