"Haha, it's brothers from the four sects. I'm Chen Yang, the head of Tianyi City Law Enforcement Hall. Nice to meet you." A middle-aged man stepped forward and greeted them.
"Hmph! The security in your Tianyi City is really good. Someone stole things in broad daylight and even stole from our Yun Sect cultivators. What are you going to do?" Qin Yi asked.
Chen Yang was immediately embarrassed.
"Hey, fellow Taoists, let's go in and talk." Chen Yang gestured.
Just like that, Qin Yi and a few others followed Chen Yang inside and started talking.
"Alas! I never went to jail in my previous life, but I have been to jail in this life." Ye Liuyun said with a wry smile.
I don’t know what Chen Yang and Qin Yi said to each other. Half an hour later, they came out.
"Okay, let's go back. The Law Enforcement Hall will deal with those people." Qin Yi said to Ye Liuyun and the others.
Chapter 327: Nine Trials (6000 words)
After the people from the four major sects left, a young man who looked to be around 20 years old, with a nonchalant demeanor, appeared in the Law Enforcement Hall.
The key is to look at her dress. She seems to be a disciple of the Supreme Induction Sect, and her status should be not low.
"Oh my, what a coincidence that we encountered this with such a small probability. It seems these guys are really unlucky." The young man said with an unhappy and playful attitude as he looked at the monks from the four sects leaving the Law Enforcement Hall.
After Chen Yang sent away the monks from the four sects, he immediately turned around and came to the young man. They obviously knew each other, and they were probably more than just familiar with each other.
"Hey! Senior Brother Zheng, can you please let me, your junior brother, worry less? They all stole things and even targeted our own people, causing such a big mess. This time, these people of yours may have to stay in jail for a longer period of time." Chen Yang seemed to have no idea what to do with the people in front of him.
The young man in front of him had an indifferent expression on his face.
"Just sit down. I don't care. They were caught stealing because they are not as skilled as others. They deserve it. I'm just curious about who could have seen through my Star-Picking Hand of the Star-Picking Peak." The man surnamed Zheng asked with interest.
"She is a female disciple of the Yun Sect named Ye Liuyu. It's strange to talk about this girl. She is only at the Lingxi Realm, but she can avoid the methods of the Zhaixing Peak. It's quite unusual." Chen Yang also said.
The man surnamed Zheng chuckled.
"That's interesting. Don't worry, we'll handle this matter impartially. You can punish those people however you want. We won't make things difficult for you. I'll go back first. I don't have time to manage Zhaixing Hall during this period of time." After the man surnamed Zheng finished speaking, he disappeared with a whoosh.
Seeing the other party leave, Chen Yang shook his head helplessly.
Looking at Ye Liuyun and others who had left the Law Enforcement Hall, Qin Yi first thanked the subordinate forces of the major sects, and then let them go back, while they returned to their residence with the people from the other three sects.
However, Ye Liuyun felt something strange along the way. How should he put it? This matter should be considered a big deal on the surface, but there didn't seem to be any big movement on the Law Enforcement Hall's side.
It gives people the feeling that they want to make a big thing small and a small thing nothing.
After returning to their residence, Murong Huan and others looked at Qin Yi with puzzled eyes, because they felt something was wrong since the beginning. Qin Yi and others had talked with Chen Yang alone, so they naturally knew something.
"You want to ask me why I left so quickly without further accountability, right?" Qin Yi asked helplessly.
Qin Yi herself asked the questions that everyone wanted to ask, so Ye Liuyun and others definitely didn't intend to endure it.
"Great Elder, how does the Law Enforcement Hall plan to deal with those people? It won't just be left in vain, right?" Ye Liuyun asked with a frown.
Others also wanted to ask this question. Although they did not suffer any loss, they still felt a little embarrassed. If this happened in the Southern Region, they would definitely take direct action to wipe out this group of people. They were a little angry.
"Hey! Just now, I also wanted to pursue accountability, but Chen Yang from the Law Enforcement Hall told us that this matter should not be made too big of a fuss. After all, we are currently in the preparation stage for the Nanling event. Moreover, the person who stole Aoxue and the people who besieged you are related to the Zhaixing Peak of the 108 inheritance faction of the Upper Sect, so." Qin Yi said helplessly.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Ye Liuyun and the others finally understood what he meant. No wonder these thieves were so arrogant. It turned out that they were from the Supreme Induction Sect. In other words, there were some important members of the Zhaixing Hall who were disciples of the Supreme Induction Sect.
"This? What kind of thing is this? Isn't this a bit like nurturing an enemy to protect one's own safety?" Everyone felt speechless, or even unbelievable.
"No, Great Elder, the upper sect doesn't care at all and allows their disciples to do such sneaky things? If other people get to know about this, won't it damage the reputation of the Supreme Induction Sect?" Ji Tianjiao also questioned.
Qin Yi didn't know what to say.
"That, I'm hard to say. Our Yun Sect has only six inheritance factions, while the Shang Sect has 108. There must be all kinds of weird inheritances. Anyway, this is the only way to deal with it. But to be honest, this is also your own fault. You two little girls came to a strange place and showed off your wealth. Don't you understand the principle that wealth should not be shown off, wealth should not be concealed, and noble people should not walk alone?" Qin Yi started to teach Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue a lesson.
Ye Liuyun felt embarrassed when he heard this and was speechless for a moment.
The main reason was that she was quite confident that no one could steal her things. After all, with Lin Qingyou by her side, who could quietly pass by Lin Qingyou and take her things away? Definitely no one.
But she forgot that she had a master to remind her at any time, but Lin Aoxue did not. Her things were kept, but Lin Aoxue's things were stolen.
But in the final analysis, she was too casual, or too confident.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. There are still a few days left. You can play in the city as you like. But be careful. Don't think that the cultivation civilization in the Northern Territory is so prosperous. I can tell you that no matter how prosperous a place is, it is bound to be dirty. The world is divided into yin and yang, and there is white and black in the world. Where there are people, there must be trouble. Also, you'd better read the city regulations of Tianyi City carefully." Qin Yi warned seriously.
After Qin Yi finished speaking, she left.
After Qin Yi left, Jiang Yan walked up to Ye Liuyun with a smile.
"Hehe, Junior Sister Ye, look, if I hadn't helped Junior Sister Lin stop the thief this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to get the things back once the criminal escapes. Tell me, how should you thank me, your senior brother?" Jiang Yan said with a smile.
In this matter, Ye Liuyun really needs to thank Jiang Yan.
"Eh? Well, then I wonder how Senior Brother Jiang wants me to thank you?" Ye Liuyun looked at the smug look on this guy's face and was speechless.
"Ah? This? I haven't thought about this yet. How about, I'll tell you after I've thought about it?" Jiang Yan touched his chin and thought.
After listening to this, Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes, then turned around and thanked all the Yun Sect disciples.
"Thank you all for your concerted efforts this time to help my sister get the storage ring back. I owe you all a favor." Ye Liuyun put away his playful smile and said solemnly.
She knew very well what Lin Aoxue had on her, and she was able to keep the things thanks to Murong Huan and others.
"There's no need to do that. We come here to participate in the Nanling event as a group. We share the same suffering and the same prosperity. However, this incident tells us that we still have to be careful when we go out." Murong Huan said lightly.
Ye Liuyun nodded. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, it would be better for them to keep a low profile.
Things have to end here, but fortunately Lin Aoxue's things were retrieved. I have to be careful next time. It is best not to take the storage ring away openly unless you are really confident.
There are so many people coming to participate in the Nanling event. As the saying goes, there is always someone better than you. No one can guarantee that they will not fail.
For example, the people from Zhaixing Hall, judging from their appearance, they rarely fail, but this time they were exposed because of Ye Liuyun.
After expressing their gratitude, the two returned to their room.
"Ah! It's incomprehensible. Do you think those people from the inherited factions of the Upper Sect have nothing better to do? It is hard to understand why a dignified monk from the Upper Sect would do such sneaky things." Ye Liuyun complained as soon as he returned to the room. At the same time, he poured out all the things he bought and then looked through them with a smile.
Ye Liuyun has begun to understand why women like to go shopping. Really, once you put yourself in the shoes of a woman, that feeling is really special.
Of course, the prerequisite for having fun is to have money. If you don’t have money, you can only watch.
Lin Aoxue didn't seem to have much reaction to this.
"It's hard to say. I think this thing has nothing to do with your realm of cultivation or your identity. Look, the last time we met Li Bai in Jianglin City, he was a cultivator in the realm of transformation, but didn't he also hang out in places of brothels?" Lin Aoxue gave an example.
This is a typical example. Scum can appear in scholarly families, and even in royal families. So, let alone the cultivation world, where good and bad people mix together.
"Hahaha, little guy, your woman is more self-aware than you. Let me tell you, there is a thief in the fairy world. This guy became a fairy by relying on the art of stealing. So you really can't criticize a person by his identity and cultivation. And I'll tell you something you may not believe, but in the cultivation world, stealing people's things but not killing them is already considered merciful." Lin Qingyou seemed to agree with what Lin Aoxue said.
This statement is worth Ye Liuyun's careful consideration.
"Eh? That's true. Forget it. Since the things are going to be returned, and the female pickpocket who stole your things also had her limbs broken by you, let's just leave it at that. We didn't have much fun just now, mainly because Senior Sister Han and the others didn't buy anything, which made me very embarrassed. Let's go out and play alone tonight." Ye Liuyun suggested.
Lin Aoxue nodded. Although she didn't care, she still felt a little uncomfortable with outsiders around her.
Such a large-scale conflict occurred between the Four Sects of the Southern Region and the Zhaixing Hall of Tianyi City. Even if Chen Yang wanted to suppress the matter, it would definitely be reported to the Supreme Induction Sect. However, they did not seem to take the matter seriously.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue quickly forgot about their previous unhappy things and tried on various clothes, jewelry and cosmetics they had bought before in their room.
Ye Liuyun was obviously more interested in these things than Lin Aoxue, mainly because Lin Aoxue was a woman and was not surprised by these things.
The things Ye Liuyun bought included many special magic weapons, such as magic weapons for automatically changing hairstyles and magic weapons for automatically applying makeup. These things are already considered super-technical.
Or it could be said that these special magic weapons are very high-end. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the special magic weapons of the monks have surpassed many modern technologies. It’s just that these things have not been popularized. In the Southern Region, these things are all popularized, and when put together, there is a strong modern punk style.
"Wow, this dress is nice, and I have a really good figure." Ye Liuyun was wearing a burgundy halter dress and had her hair parted on the side, looking very charming.
In addition, she is tall and plump, which makes her even more feminine.
"Tsk tsk, I totally can't understand how you, a man who became a woman, can have such a sexy body. It makes a real woman like me feel ashamed." Lin Aoxue complained as she looked at Ye Liuyun's conceited behavior.
These words made Ye Liuyun stunned, and then he turned to look at Lin Aoxue.
"Oh, this question, let me think, could it be because I like this kind of figure, so I slowly grow in this direction? Isn't it said that a cultivator's appearance is determined by his heart?" Ye Liuyun answered seriously.
Lin Aoxue also stood up. In fact, Lin Aoxue had a very good figure. She was slender and tall, with good proportions, but it was not that sexy figure.
"Tsk, there's something else you're saying. What you're trying to say is that my figure isn't the type you like. You like mature women, right?" Lin Aoxue said unhappily.
Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes.
"Haha, what's wrong? Are you jealous?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Jealous? Who should I be jealous of? You?" Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes.
Ye Liuyun chuckled and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a box-shaped magic weapon on the table suddenly opened and began to play beautiful music.
Ye Liuyun immediately grabbed Lin Aoxue's hand and began to mobilize Lin Aoxue to dance a modern ballroom dance to the sound of music.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue had danced this before in college, so they were quite familiar with it.
"Aoxue, do you like the lifestyle in Tianyi City?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.
But Lin Aoxue shook her head without hesitation.
"I don't like it, at least not now. Maybe I'm used to living in the Southern Region. Suddenly I come to such a modern environment and feel a bit out of place." Lin Aoxue answered while cooperating with Ye Liuyun.
"Really? I'm fine, but there are too many people. It would be better if there were fewer people and it wasn't so crowded." Ye Liuyun sighed.
After the Nanling event is over, there should be fewer people in Tianyi City.
"You will have to go back then. I've been thinking about a question. Is there any way that allows us to travel between the two places anytime and anywhere? In this way, it doesn't matter even if we are not in the same place." Lin Aoxue thought.
When she said this, Ye Liuyun fell into deep thought. If this were really possible, it would be great. She also felt that it was possible. After all, there were many teleportation arrays in the Northern Territory. If she could build a teleportation array in the Supreme Induction Sect and the Yun Sect, wouldn't that be enough?
But the idea is good. However, Ye Liuyun feels that it would be very difficult to implement it.
At night, the two of them changed into more ordinary clothes so that they would not stand out in the crowd, and then went out alone. Going out to the night market alone is definitely more comfortable than going out with a large group.
Moreover, there are more places for entertainment than Ye Liuyun had imagined, even entertainment venues similar to virtual games.
Now we are in an entertainment store called Spiritual Ocean. This place is like a modern Internet cafe, and many monks come here.
There are many magical instruments inside that are similar to aircraft cabins. When a monk lies down in them, his consciousness can enter another space.
Before entering, you can also choose a space and set your own image, and then enter the consciousness space. As long as you die in this space, you will exit, or terminate the game yourself.
Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue also tried it.
This is a role-playing game, and it is very realistic. The space you are in is no different from that of a real person.
By the way, this game was originally invented by monks to create a trial space for their disciples to train. The space is constructed with various laws and restrictions. You are trained in it, and nothing will happen even if you die.
However, as the cultivation civilization of the Northern Territory became more and more prosperous, these methods were gradually popularized in some entertainment businesses. What Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue could not have imagined was that the Northern Territory civilization had actually experienced a civilization similar to that of the Earth.
The stage of civilization they are currently in is the next-generation cultivation civilization stage. As the saying goes, the end of science is theology, and this statement is fully demonstrated in the Northern Territory.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. Millions of years have passed since the human civilization in this world came into being. How could it be possible that it has remained at the level of the ancient civilization of the Southern Region?
For some unknown reason, after Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue finished experiencing this game, they suddenly had some doubts about the Earth where they lived in their previous lives.
If the cultivation world can use these powerful means to create virtual worlds, then is their Earth also a game world created by others?
As for this question, there is an answer, because Lin Qingyou told her that in the eyes of the immortal world, the lower world is similar to the game world they experience.
They were all created by the powerful ones from the upper realm, or in other words, their world was created by the upper realm.
Therefore, even the present space, or the space of the previous life, may be a false world, not necessarily the real world.
It’s just that they haven’t reached that level yet and can’t jump out of this world to look at this world.
People in the game think they are the director, but in fact, you may just be an actor, and others are arranging your life.
As Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue strolled around Tianyi City, they also bought a lot of information about the history of cultivation in the Northern Territory, as well as many magic weapons commonly used by cultivators in the Northern Territory.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that these things are very similar to mobile phones and computers on Earth. The things here are similar in presentation, but the driving methods are completely different. These things can only be used by cultivators, at least those at the Lingxi realm. They are like waste in the hands of mortals.
According to the records in those materials, the secular civilization has been destroyed many times, and every time it was about to enter another stage of civilization, it would be stopped by the cultivation world.
According to the information, the secular world is just a breeding ground for the cultivation world. They do not need these ordinary people to have high wisdom and civilization. What they need are ignorant mortals, because ignorance is easier to control.
Of course, some people also ask, in these millions of years, don’t these mortals know about the existence of the cultivation world?
Obviously, compared with the long lifespan of cultivators, it is actually very simple to conceal the existence of the Northern Territory's cultivation world.
Not only is Nanling divided into the North and South regions, the same is true for the other four regions of the Tang Kingdom. Normally, the two do not interfere with each other and develop freely. Once the development of the secular world may shake the cultivation world, the cultivation world can make the secular world return to its primitive stage with just one word.
Around 12 o'clock late in the night, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue returned to their residence happily.
"Oh, that's fun. If possible, after the competition, I will buy all of these things and move them back to Bixia Valley." Ye Liuyun said with a smile. She felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement in these things.
However, Ye Liuyun might have thought too simply. If she had read the Northern Territory Rules, she would have discovered that there was a provision in the Northern Territory Rules that some things were forbidden to leave the Northern Territory. That is to say, you can use them in the Northern Territory, but you cannot bring them into the secular world.
This is similar to the trade between countries on Earth. Some goods are not allowed to flow out of the country.
