Chapter 108 Sun Family Blacksmith Shop, why is it an old man?
"Make way, everyone."
"Anyone who obstructs the investigation shall be arrested and taken back to the yamen."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd immediately parted to make way for them, all showing great understanding. They were just there to join in the fun, not to go to jail.
Immediately, several stretchers covered with white cloth were carried out from the gate of the Zhou residence. The stretchers were stained with a lot of blood, and a bloody smell emanated from them.
Many people's expressions became much more serious.
soon.
After the constables from the yamen affixed the seal and left, the people who had come to watch the spectacle also left in groups.
Standing still, Lin Zhou could only watch the departing crowd. Perhaps among them were other adventurers like him who had entered the Qingping Town illusion.
After all, the small characters in the local dialect of Chu Kingdom indicated that he was not the only challenger in this place. If a few more people could be found, the chances of finding the demon would be much greater.
This was Lin Zhou's second time entering this illusion. As long as he could make contact with other challengers, he could at least glean some information about this place from them, no matter what.
The villain's whereabouts can at least be roughly traced.
"You can't play on this old man's account at all!"
"We can only try to gather as much information as possible."
Lin Zhou already had a plan in mind.
He, with his old bones, couldn't get through the government office, nor could he find out any information it had. So he could only look for the person who left the note.
The other party may have arrived here long ago.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have left that information in an inconspicuous place on the wall a step in advance.
If he were a newcomer, he would definitely be waiting outside the Zhou residence to watch the excitement, just like him.
Immediately, Lin Zhou inquired about the Sun family's blacksmith shop. He walked several streets, feeling quite tired, before finally arriving at the street where the Sun family's blacksmith shop was located.
This really wore out his old bones!
Not only was my whole body aching, but even my breathing became much heavier. My limbs felt like they were weighed down with lead, and it was difficult to walk.
"We've finally arrived."
Lin Zhou looked at the ordinary blacksmith shop by the roadside. The shop entrance was not large, but looking through the door, he could see that there was a fairly large courtyard inside, from which came the clanging sound of hammering.
Lin Zhou stepped into the blacksmith shop.
The first thing that came into view was a strong-looking middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old and was holding an iron hammer. When the man saw an old man in a straw raincoat panting as he entered the courtyard of his blacksmith shop, a look of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
The old man who came in was so frail that he had trouble even holding an iron dagger.
Coming to the blacksmith shop to make weapons is a complete waste of his time.
"Was it your writing that you left on the outer wall of the Zhou residence?"
Lin Zhou spoke calmly in the Chu dialect.
"grass."
"Why is it an old man?!"
The middle-aged blacksmith, holding a hammer, looked at the old man in a straw raincoat in front of him, who seemed unable to carry heavy loads or lift water. His lips trembled a few times, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
I really didn't expect that!
Finally, they encountered another challenger, who turned out to be an old man fishing by the river.
For him, they were nothing but a burden, offering no help whatsoever.
"Brother, although I don't know where you were in the Chu Kingdom before, or what your cultivation level was, you are far too weak in this Thousand Demon Illusion Realm."
"Don't even mention finding and killing the devil; any random thug from a gang on the street could beat you to death."
"Let's go, come back next month."
"If next month's task is more challenging, reaching the Ming Jin level or above, then we can discuss cooperation. As for now... it's too early."
The middle-aged blacksmith said helplessly.
"Brother, may I have a word with you in private?"
"Brother, this is my first time entering this Thousand Demon Illusionary Realm. I hope you can give me some pointers."
Lin Zhou said with a smile.
You can't hit someone who's smiling.
Moreover, his identity as an old man in a straw raincoat is just that he is too weak this month, but next month he may be able to obtain a powerful figure with a strength of over Ming Jin.
From this perspective, if Lin Zhou had been able to survive and develop his strength when he first became Feng Tianxiao, that Ming Jin martial artist, he would definitely have been able to obtain some intelligence from the Sun family's blacksmith shop.
This middle-aged blacksmith is also very deep and cunning. Anyone who can reach this level must be a seasoned veteran.
I was very cautious.
Upon realizing that he was merely an old man in a straw raincoat and of no use whatsoever, they simply drove him away.
"Then let's try going to the government office."
Before Lin Zhou left Sun's blacksmith shop, the middle-aged blacksmith still gave him a geography book introducing Qingping Town.
After all, the middle-aged blacksmith knew very well that if he failed to slay the demon, the business he had built up over so long would be completely ruined.
If I choose again...
It's very likely that he'll end up like that elderly man in the straw raincoat from before—that would be the worst-case scenario. Once he becomes an old man, he'll lose the chance to slay the demon.
Even if he knew who the demon was, with his physique so weak that a gust of wind could blow him over, it was absolutely impossible for him to slay the demon.
The third level.
Finding a hidden demon in this vast sea of people is like finding a needle in a haystack.
soon.
Lin Zhou then arrived at the yamen (government office).
When the guard at the gate saw an old man arrive at their yamen gate, he raised his hand to stop him.
"Where did this old man come from? Do you even know which way the main gate of this government office faces?"
"Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Before Lin Zhou could say anything more, he was lifted up and placed at a street corner.
"What can this body do?"
Lin Zhou's lips curled into a bitter smile.
The path to obtaining intelligence from government offices was basically blocked. With his old appearance, he couldn't even get through the gate of a government office, let alone search for any other information.
Then, Lin Zhou walked slowly down the street with his hands behind his back. Even though he was walking very slowly, one could still sense the fatigue in this elderly body.
Soon after.
Lin Zhou arrived at another place where an accident had occurred. More than half a month ago, someone had died under a locust tree by the river.
The other party also had their head cut off, in the same way as the people from the Zhou family. It is very likely that the two were committed by the same person. Although the possibility is high, Lin Zhou absolutely cannot overlook any detail.
But after Lin Zhou checked, he still found nothing.
Forget it, I'll just abandon this account.
Waiting for the next creation.
