Chapter 132 Chen Jianzi
Qi Xuansu asked someone to take Xiao Yin to Chen Jianzi's residence. Because Chen Jianzi fled in a hurry, most of the things were not taken away, which was enough for Xiao Yin to "sample".
After Xiao Yin determined the smell, she walked through the entire Lion City so that her search range would roughly cover the Lion City. As long as Chen Jianzi was still hiding in the city, she could always find him. Unless Chen Jianzi had a superior perspective and could just avoid Xiao Yin's search range every time, if she really had such ability, she would have escaped from the Lion City long ago, and there was no need to stay in the Lion City.
Probably because Zhang Yuelu promised a thousand Taiping coins and three days of vacation, Xiao Yin was very interested and wanted to visit every corner of the Lion City in one day.
Chen Jianzi was indeed still in the Lion City at this time.
It has to be said that Beichen Hall was extremely efficient and found out Chen Jianzi's details in a very short period of time. However, Li Zhuyu and everyone from Beichen Hall came from Yujing and were not local gangsters. There were always things they couldn't take into account.
Chen Jianzi is definitely bad, but one thing is that she is an absolutely self-interested person. She does not have much loyalty to the Goddess Society. Her so-called belief is not pious, but is more about If the goddess is willing to support her and help her stand out, she will sacrifice her life for the Goddess Society, but it will not work if she is allowed to die for the Goddess Society.
Therefore, after Chen Jianzi realized that the goddess had the intention to silence him, he chose to escape without hesitation.
For those who are extremely self-interested, the world is big and life is the biggest.
Chen Jianzi has been operating in Lion City for many years and is well versed in the principle of the cunning rabbit's three burrows. He has early set up several hiding spots that only he knows about. In fact, she also thought about escaping from the Lion City, but she quickly gave up the idea. The reason is very simple. Both the men in black and the people from the Goddess Association were targeting all the entrances and exits of the Lion City. At this time, she left the Lion City. , just like throwing yourself into a trap. If she didn't take the normal route, the sea was vast, and she couldn't hug a piece of wood and drift with the current, otherwise she would probably be discovered by ships at sea. On the contrary, Lion City has a large population, a large population flow, a mixture of good and bad, and does not have a complete household registration and Lijia system, making it easier to hide.
At this time, Chen Jianzi was hiding in the northwest district, which was the most chaotic place, full of fish and dragons, and filled with all kinds of people. If she was only wanted by the Taoist Mansion or the Nanting Protectorate, then she could still get the protection of "Heavenly Court" and continue to live in fine clothes and fine food in the accommodation provided by "Heavenly Court". It's a pity that the goddess will be silenced, and the "Heavenly Court" will no longer be reliable. At this time, Chen Jianzi can only pretend to be a female seafarer - she can't even pretend to be a prostitute, because this kind of business has many The leaders of their respective territories, outsiders cannot survive without worshiping the mountain.
Haike is different, they are very mobile and they are basically all new faces. Haike are like Jianghu people. They will die in another country without knowing where they came from. They don’t know where they are going. No one will pay attention to these people.
With this identity, Chen Jianzi can also go in and out of taverns and other places to find out the news. After the matter is over and the search intensity is not so intense, she can leave the Lion City. To put it bluntly, as long as there is a winner between Qi Zhenren and Wang Zhenren, few people will care about the life and death of a little person like her, and she will not be a key figure.
By coincidence, Xiao Yin's first stop was the Northwest District.
It wasn't that Xiao Yin guessed Chen Jianzi's thoughts right away, but that Xiao Yin had longed for the Northwest District for a long time. There was nothing interesting in the military camp, and there was nothing interesting in the civilian area, except for the most prosperous Central District. The northwest district, which hides dirt and evil practices, is the most interesting. The central area is a bit too elegant, a bit bland and not exciting enough. Don't forget that Xiao Yin is not a human being, so you can't really look at her the same way you look at a little girl.
Xiao Yin had long wanted to go to the Northwest District, but she gave up because she had no money.
Although Xiao Yin's cultivation level is very high, she still has to spend the money that should be spent. She is just playful. If she really wants to use her hands and beat her to a pulp, it is no longer fun. Generally speaking, Xiao Yin will only take the initiative for one thing, and that is to eat. But after eating dragon meat, Xiao Yin has never been very hungry, and the thought of eating has become much lighter, and the thought of playing has taken over the high ground. Taking a step back, Xiao Yin did not dare to act recklessly with Zhang Yuelu's "Sword of Damocles" hanging high above his head.
How could Xiao Yin miss this God-given opportunity? He came to the Northwest District openly and took a stand to see where there was fun. When she got one thousand Taiping money, she went straight to the chosen target.
In Xiao Yin's opinion, finding someone is easy. If he doesn't find him, he will insist that the person is not in the Lion City.
Go back to the ghost country and cave? nonexistent. Whoever wants to go back will go back, and she will definitely not go back.
Xiao Yin came to the Northwest District alone, but no one dared to do anything to her.
The four major taboos when traveling in the world are monks, old people, women, and children. Although the Taoist sect does not allow Taoist priests to rejuvenate their youth excessively, there is no such requirement outside the Taoist sect. Such a little girl was walking alone in such a mixed place, looking around without any hint of fear or fear. She almost had the words "Playing in the World" plastered on her forehead. Who dared to provoke her?
Xiao Yin originally just wanted to take a stroll, but after a short stroll, she smelled the smell.
This is a real surprise.
Xiao Yin followed the smell to a pub, opened the door and went in. He took out a few copper plates, rubbed them in his hands, and turned them into gold coins. The man was no taller than the counter, stood on tiptoes, raised his hands, and handed the gold coin over: "I want the best wine!"
The shopkeeper saw at a glance that the words on the gold coin were wrong. How could the worry-free coin have the words of the wishful coin? Could it be a fake coin? But the counterfeit is all about the material, not even the words are engraved wrong. Could it be an illusion?
This shopkeeper is also a smart man. If it is an illusion, it means that this little girl is not an ordinary person, she is rejuvenated and unfathomable. It is just a matter of a bowl of wine, there is no need to offend the master.
The shopkeeper took a large bowl and filled it.
Xiao Yin held the large bowl with both hands and slowly came to a table. He put the bowl on it first, then climbed onto the stool, his feet off the ground, his mouth just level with the large bowl on the table, and drank wine with a slurp.
Chen Jianzi was in this tavern. After seeing Xiao Yin come in, she felt a little uneasy and quickly got up and left through the back door of the tavern.
Xiao Yin sat there without moving.
Chen Jianzi was relieved when she saw that the strange little girl did not follow him out.
There was an alley outside the back door of the tavern. Chen Jianzi was about to leave when a figure crossed out and blocked the entrance of the alley, blocking Chen Jianzi's way.
Chen Jianzi froze and felt a chill on his back.
The man was wearing a hood and standing with his back to the light, so his face was completely hidden in the shadow under the hood. However, Chen Jianzi was still very keen to see that the man was wearing a ring on the middle finger of his right hand. The ring was not inlaid with gems and was made of pure gold.
As a member of the Goddess Society, Chen Jianzi was very familiar with many customs of the Holy See.
Rings are very meaningful in the Holy See. The ring worn by the Pope is the most famous. The pure gem of the ring is engraved with a statue of the Goddess shepherding sheep. The Pope uses it as a seal when signing important documents. The Holy See has strict regulations on wearing rings: the cardinal's ring is usually inlaid with sapphires and engraved with statues of saints casting nets to catch fish. The rings of bishops at all levels below are equipped with amethysts, rubies, emeralds, yellow sapphires, etc. The rings of ordinary priests and some special monks are gold rings and cannot be inlaid with any gems. The way of wearing the ring is also different. Since the index finger symbolizes the goddess, most priests like to wear the ring on the index finger. The cardinal wears the ring on the ring finger of the right hand, and the rings of the subordinate religious orders are worn on the middle finger of the right hand.
This person wears the ring on the middle finger of the right hand, which means that he is a special priest, including the Inquisition and various religious orders under the Holy See. And there is no gemstone, which means that he is a member of a religious order. The answer is already obvious. It is a member of the Goddess Association who strictly abides by the three wishes of "no wealth", "no beauty", and "no intention".
Thinking of this, Chen Jianzi was almost desperate, but she was unwilling to sit and wait for death. She quietly took out a dagger and held it in her palm.
The man took off his hood, revealing a Western face, blue eyes and a high nose bridge, and said in a pure and fluent Central Plains Mandarin: "You betrayed the Goddess Association."
"I didn't! You abandoned me!" Chen Jianzi's eyes were cold.
The member of the Goddess Club seemed not to hear Chen Jianzi's words, and said in Latin: "Now, I will judge you on behalf of the Goddess Club, and may your soul be redeemed."
As soon as the voice fell, the member of the Goddess Club had already moved. Because he was on the territory of the Taoist sect, he couldn't use magic, which would alarm the man in black and the spiritual officer, so he chose close combat. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of Chen Jianzi, with a Western rapier in his hand. The blade was very narrow, like a sharp cone. As the name suggests, this kind of sword is not suitable for chopping, but it greatly enhances the power of stabbing.
Chen Jianzi was able to escape in the chaos, so he was naturally not an ordinary person. The realm of the return to the true stage could not be faked. The short sword in his hand lifted up and swung the stab. At the same time, Chen Jianzi didn't know when he had a beautiful hand gun in his other hand. There was only a muffled sound, and it hit the lower abdomen of the member of the Goddess Club.
But the member of the Goddess Club was not affected at all. Under his wound, various metal tubes and gear pistons were revealed. There was no blood flowing out, only steam.
Although the Holy See and the Council of Arcane Law have always been at odds, it does not prevent the Holy See from using the methods of the Council of Arcane Law, just like the Taoists using the magical powers of Buddhism. Of course, the Holy See can only use them secretly to take into account the impact, but the various orders under the Holy See are not so particular. They claim that as long as the faith is pure, the methods are not important. They use "alchemical arcane" together with "divine patterns", which is called "steam gospel", which means "wine and meat pass through the intestines and the Buddha sits in the heart".
