Chapter 3053: People’s Hearts Are No Longer the Same as They Used to Be

"If that Zhang Ren is really as powerful as you say, then I really want to see him."

Bai Chen did not hide his intention to pursue the path of becoming a strong man.

He came to Shenwu Continent just to become stronger.

Perhaps in this natural environment with abundant spiritual power, he could become stronger by hiding in a deep mountain forest and practicing hard in seclusion.

But if he can compete with the strong, he believes that he will become stronger in the competition faster.

"I will leave Daliang soon."

Seeing through Yi Ji's thoughts, Bai Chen said frankly: "But before that, I want to go see the caster of this beam. I wonder if sir, can you recommend me one or two?"

"A foundry master..."

Yi Ji thought for a while and suddenly said: "In our imperial capital, there are indeed many powerful forgers. The most famous among them is the Li's Blacksmith Shop in the west of the city. It is two streets away from the east gate of the city and 100 meters away from the capital. The sound of forging can be heard from far away. Basically, our ordnance equipment in Daliang comes from Li's blacksmith shop. "

"Thanks for letting me know."

Bai Chen calmly clasped his fists.

After asking all the serious questions, they were really hungry.

Tang Qin tore off a piece of local chicken and took a bite with anticipation.

But after taking this bite, her face instantly turned green.

"Bah! Bah! What the hell is this? It tastes terrible."

Tang Qin's huge reaction made Bai Chen and Lin Mengyao look at each other in shock.

Bai Chen tore off a piece of meat, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. The smell of salt was very strong...

"Haha, you three have come all the way, so you don't know the taste of this country chicken. If you eat this thing in one bite, it may not be considered a delicacy, but if you take a few more bites, you will know what it means to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Yi Ji calmly picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked off a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth under the gazes of Bai Chen and the others.

But at this moment, his calm face completely stiffened.

After only chewing for a moment, Yi Ji hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, spit out the meat in his mouth, and then carefully wrapped it up politely.

"water……"

He raised his eyes to look at Huang Zu, his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke.

Bai Chen: "..."

…

"Brother Jiang, I live at the Qingzhu Inn. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

Outside the store, Yi Ji came to the carriage and hugged Bai Chen.

His cultivation level in the spiritual master world is that of a fifth-grade spiritual master. In the Xinglan Continent, he would definitely be a strong man of Mu Fan and Yin Lingqi's generation.

As such a strong man, yet elegant and refined, living outside the world, Bai Chen admired this kind of Confucian scholar.

"must."

Bai Chen smiled calmly.

Watching the carriage go, Tang Qin slowly withdrew his gaze: "Oh my god, Brother Bai Chen, you don't know how salty that country chicken was just now, and it tasted very weird. I really don't know who the owner of this shop is." What do you think?"

"Hey, hey, little girl, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything random!" After counting the money, the store owner raised his face with pride.

Seeing how confident he was, Tang Qin immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your meat is obviously not clean, and you deliberately made it so salty just to suppress the rotten smell of the meat. Do you think I Don’t you understand?”

After all, she is also a well-known little cook. How could such a little trick escape her notice?

"Hey you...!"

When she said this, the shopkeeper's face suddenly turned red.

But soon, his face returned to its original color: "Hey, foreigners like you who don't even know Li's Blacksmith, don't point fingers at others. Don't tell others to be kind if you don't know their sufferings." ,understand?"

"I understand you big-headed devil. A shop with a black heart like you will die sooner or later!"

"Haha, I really laughed at your words. Instead of telling me so many big truths here, why don't you go and see why other people's restaurants don't serve meat?"

"What's the meaning?"

Tang Qin frowned.

Bai Chen also suddenly became curious.

There is no meat to eat in the imperial capital now?

Not so much...

"Forget it, since you are from the countryside, I will tell you." The store owner moved a chair and sat in front of the door, crossing his legs with a leisurely expression: "In the suburbs of our imperial capital, there are no illegal crimes recently. Something evil happened, and all the domestic animals died overnight, so we had no choice but to go to Yaoshan Town, dozens of miles away, to buy meat. However, due to the long distance and hot weather, the meat would only taste bad when shipped. , But even so, it’s more conscientious than selling dead meat, right?”

"So, people in the suburbs of the imperial capital are living a very miserable life now?" Lin Mengyao looked worried.

"That's more than just suffering. Many people can't accept this reality and have already committed suicide by drowning themselves in the river."

The store owner said it with a relaxed face and indifferent eyes, which explained what it means to have a cold world and indifferent people.

"Brother Bai, let's go take a look. We are not in a hurry about the blacksmith shop." Lin Mengyao suggested.

"That's fine."

Protecting this kind-hearted little girl, Bai Chen will naturally not stay out of the matter.

In today's world, kind-hearted people are always insulted as saints, especially women, who are indiscriminately given the title of Holy Mother, and are also ridiculed with pleasure as a boundary.

On the contrary, everyone lives selfishly, which has become the mainstream of the times.

If this is the future of mankind, it is really sad compared to ancient times.

People’s hearts are not the same as they used to be. It’s not that this situation cannot be changed. It just depends on whether each person is willing to regain the moral cultivation of the ancient times.

…

The territory south of the imperial capital city stretches for dozens of miles, all of which are the suburbs of the imperial capital.

There are many people here, and most of them are engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Those who farmed the land were lucky to escape the disaster.

And those who made a living by animal husbandry had countless families destroyed and died because of this catastrophe.

The scorching loess was steaming hot under the scorching sun.

Bai Chen walked in the town, looking at those dejected people, his eyes briefly stayed on their skinny bodies, and he couldn’t help but feel a little distressed.

“Since ancient times, a strong country means a strong people, and a rich country means a rich people. It seems that Daliang is not only weak in the Shenwu Continent, but also the lives of the people are miserable.”

Bai Chen took a deep breath and gradually stopped.

“Brother Bai, help them.”

Lin Mengyao whispered.

Being generous to others is the way of a hero.

But in their current situation, if they just throw money everywhere in a big way, it will definitely cause a big stir.

The more attention they get, the more dangerous it is.

They haven't experienced the real strong yet, and it's not wise to rashly attract other people's attention.

"We have caused quite a stir in Jiangxia before, and now we can't force ourselves to stand out."
