Chapter 31: The Inn
Zhang Xiaofeng followed the sound and looked over, only to see a man with an unkind face staring at him, and after seeing Zhang Xiaofeng stop, he quickly walked towards them.
"Ahead is the boundary of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm. ”
The Hundred Flames Secret Realm is exactly the purpose of Zhang Xiaofeng's trip, the smallest of the 36 million secret realms, and even the most powerful master of the secret realm in the entire secret realm, after monopolizing most of the resources of the secret realm, he forcibly piled up a fifth-order, which was also laughingly called the fifth-order of paper paste by the immortals of the heavenly court.
Zhang Xiaofeng took out a piece of rune paper that the Queen Mother had sent in advance to take away the special spells of the Heavenly Court, and handed it to the man in front of him.
The man's face was gloomy, he took it, and glanced at Zhang Xiaofeng from top to bottom, he was not very old, and when he looked at the past, there were no valuable objects on his body, but the smiling fairy beside him had a point or two of nobility, but he didn't mean to be too close to this young man.
The man's mind turned sharply, and after a while, he estimated that Zhang Xiaofeng was estimated to be a little fairy who didn't have a mother and an uncle.
Thinking of this, the man arrogantly threw the talisman paper to Zhang Xiaofeng, and asked lightly, "Oh, it's really amazing that Heavenly Court is here." ”
Looking at the yin and yang weird man in front of him, Zhang Xiaofeng subconsciously looked at the uncle beside him, but helplessly found that the uncle was still smiling, as if he hadn't heard it.
"On behalf of the Heavenly Court, I came to congratulate the Lord of the Secret Realm on his birthday. Zhang Xiaofeng patiently explained.
"On behalf of Heavenly Court, my breath is so loud, and I am not afraid of flashing my tongue!"
The uncle didn't say anything, and when Zhang Xiaofeng didn't pay attention, he slowly showed up in place, leaving Zhang Xiaofeng alone to listen to the cynicism of the man in front of him.
"Is this what your master meant?"
Just before the man's words had a more dense and excessive momentum, Zhang Xiaofeng turned back coldly and asked.
Looking at Zhang Xiaofeng's indifferent eyes, the man was stunned, and the unfinished half of the sentence in his mouth was forcibly choked back.
"It's not what your master means, you just give me a quiet place, and save me from beating a dog and not looking at the bad reputation of the master. ”
"Who are you scolding?"
"Where are the wild dogs barking?" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the man in front of him and said word by word.
"You ......"
"What are you?"
"I ......"
"What am I?"
"Not ......"
"Isn't it?
Man: "......"
At this moment when Zhang Xiaofeng was arguing with him, the two of them had completely entered the scope of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm.
Zhang Xiaofeng really didn't want to see such a bastard thing anymore, so he directly used the Wind Resisting Technique to increase the speed to the fastest, leaving the man who was still stunned in place completely behind.
Even if it is the smallest secret realm, there are still 12,000 people living here, which is also a secret realm that is most in line with mortal life.
Because the secret realm is too small and the aura is really insufficient, since the birth of this secret realm, there have not been any world-famous characters in the secret realm, and most of the people who live here are ordinary people who have never cultivated any mana.
This is indeed a rare sight.
But it is precisely because of this that it has really attracted a lot of immortals to come here to experience life.
Zhang Xiaofeng walked around the downtown area.
The owner of the shop selling steamed buns, the butcher who is naked and carrying an axe to chop meat, and the small teahouse in a corner but with a bit of freshness, are really small sparrows, but they are full of organs.
After wandering around for a few laps, I also took the time to drink a pot of tea and eat a plate of simple local dishes, when I saw someone walking towards me.
"Hello, messenger of heaven. ”
The attitude of the person who came was very humble, and he was also a lot more restrained than the person Zhang Xiaofeng met just now.
In this secret realm, it is estimated that he can be regarded as a rare master.
In this space, it is not difficult to guess who can appoint the person behind this kind of talent.
"Emissary, the Lord of the Secret Realm has been waiting for you for a long time, and there are some specific matters I want to discuss with you, so I hope you don't miss the hour. ”
Zhang Xiaofeng ignored him.
There was still a piece of the small dish in front of him that hadn't moved, Zhang Xiaofeng picked it up and put it in his mouth, a burst of aroma spread in his mouth, Zhang Xiaofeng smiled and squinted his eyes.
Even if this secret realm is small, it is still much stronger than the mortal world in terms of the concentration of aura.
Therefore, the people here, the things here, and of course, the meat here, are all better than those in the mortal world.
Even Zhang Xiaofeng just walked around and found that even the butchers selling meat on the street were much more beautiful than some so-called celebrities in the mortal world, of course, Zhang Xiaofeng was talking about picking up if he picked up well.
After eating this last piece of meat, Zhang Xiaofeng glanced back at him, as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Let's go." ”
The man also looked as usual, bowed his head towards Zhang Xiaofeng, jumped up directly at random, and disappeared in front of Zhang Xiaofeng's eyes.
The other party naturally didn't do it for the sake of mystery, or to show off in front of Zhang Xiaofeng, but simply didn't want the ordinary people in this cluster to know.
Before Zhang Xiaofeng came, he had exchanged his merits for some of the currency here, and the money was placed on the table, Zhang Xiaofeng walked out two steps, and his figure slowly disappeared in front of everyone.
No one noticed here.
Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the man waiting for him in the sky, beckoned to him, and then quickly followed.
In less than a pillar of incense, Zhang Xiaofeng followed the man to Yiyi in front of a bamboo house, the surroundings were empty, and the air had a burnt smell, as if something had been burned.
The man stood in the doorway, bowing his head and waiting, not even daring to knock on the door.
Zhang Xiaofeng didn't say anything, the guest was as he pleased, Zhang Xiaofeng was not too maverick, he sat on the small bamboo bench on the side and waited, and didn't say much.
The man kept his head bowed at the door of the bamboo house.
After a long time, a shocking heat wave suddenly broke out in the house, and even Zhang Xiaofeng felt a scorching sensation when he sat on the bamboo bench some distance from the house.
"Ahh
The man's head was buried deeper, Zhang Xiaofeng stood up, and he didn't see any movement in the bamboo house, so he pushed the door directly and walked in.
The man guarding the door did not stop him.
The heat wave in the house gradually dissipated, Zhang Xiaofeng saw the person lying on the ground, and stepped forward, Zhang Xiaofeng only felt that this person was not very old.
And when he got closer at this moment, Zhang Xiaofeng realized that the burnt smell he asked just now came from the man in front of him.
"Sent by Heavenly Court?" The man who had looked at him with little hope of surviving suddenly opened his eyes, and the injuries on his body slowly healed.
In just a moment, Zhang Xiaofeng simply realized that the person in front of him had completely recovered, and he was no different from ordinary people.
"Sent by Heavenly Court?" the man asked again.
Zhang Xiaofeng glanced at him, but still nodded.
The man turned his head directly and said lightly: "I am the master of the secret realm of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm. ”
"Actually, there's nothing to do here, there are less than two days left until my birthday, most of the things will be taken care of by my subordinates, these days, you can walk around casually, before and after I tell you to go down, the secret realm will not set restrictions on you. ”
Zhang Xiaofeng glanced at the Lord of the Secret Realm in front of him with some surprise.
After all, there was the person he met when he first arrived in the secret realm, and even if Zhang Xiaofeng met a more reliable person later, he already had a not very good impression of this secret realm.
Seeing that I was really wrong, I was really wrong.
The person in front of him is much smarter than he thinks.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofeng said that he was here to celebrate his birthday this time, and the queen mother of the joints could understand it without saying that Zhang Xiaofeng could understand it.
In order to strengthen Heavenly Court's control over the Heavenly Secret Realm, Zhang Xiaofeng must come in advance to see if there is anything to rebel against, to see the people's views on Heavenly Court, to see the major and minor events that have happened in the Secret Realm over the years, and to go back to tell the Queen Mother about it.
So even if a man doesn't speak, Zhang Xiaofeng will find out, but he didn't expect a man to be so knowledgeable.
After all, from beginning to end, Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the people in this space, and they didn't seem to have much respect for Heavenly Court.
The county officials are not as good as the current management, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, for so many years, the heavenly court has almost faded from here, and in the hearts of all the people here, the lord of the secret realm is the heavenly court in their hearts.
"Okay, that's a lot of a bother. Zhang Xiaofeng said with a smile.
The Lord of the Secret Realm glanced at Zhang Xiaofeng deeply, but he didn't say anything more.
"Hei Er, take the Heavenly Court Envoy to rest. ”
As soon as the words fell, the person who had led Zhang Xiaofeng over before quietly appeared in front of the two.
"Please follow me. His voice was muffled.
Zhang Xiaofeng didn't speak again, and walked directly with Hei Er, and left the bamboo house of the Lord of the Secret Realm in a blink of an eye.
Zhang Xiaofeng stayed in an inn.
This is not an ordinary inn, as soon as Zhang Xiaofeng walked in, he felt a burst of scrutiny, Hei Er did not hide it, and said directly to Zhang Xiaofeng: "This is a mountain inn." ”
The mountain is a pronoun in the Hundred Flames Secret Realm, specifically used to describe those who cultivate, so as to distinguish them from the ordinary people under the mountain.
"There is a rich man here, although he is not a cultivator, but he can buy countless people on the mountain to sell his life, and the rich man has a son, who is the one you saw in the Hundred Flames Secret Realm today. ”
Zhang Xiaofeng was a little surprised.
Hei Er continued: "Today, because of a big fight with a mountain person in the downtown area, and even used the mountain guards at home to retaliate against a mountain person, he was ordered by the lord of the secret realm to be expelled to the border of the Hundred Fire Secret Realm to be stationed for thirty years in a fit of anger, so he was unhappy, so he had today's scene. ”
Zhang Xiaofeng nodded, that kid did not look very bright.
At this time, he also understood that he was a stupid son of a landlord's family.
There are no one under the mountain in the inn, except for the rich man, because he opened the inn.
Hei Er took the edict of the Lord of the Secret Realm, it was extremely convenient to do things, and after a while, he let the shopkeeper open a room, and carefully explained, let him take good care of it, and record any expenses directly on the account of the Lord of the Secret Realm, and go to the house to settle together at the end of the year.
The shopkeeper nodded with a smile, the master of the secret realm is indeed an unattainable existence for them who live at the bottom, as long as they have anything to do with him, they can be subconsciously cautious.
Looking at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, Hei Er frowned, but didn't say anything, turned around and nodded to Zhang Xiaofeng, then got up and walked out of the inn, slowly disappearing into the streets and alleys.
Black Er is a good guy.
Zhang Xiaofeng looked at a transmission note that Hei Er had secretly stuffed into his hand before leaving, and thought to himself.
is undoubtedly afraid that he will meet the rich man's unsuccessful son in the click, and he will suffer a loss in the end.
After all, Zhang Xiaofeng's cultivation is indeed not high now, and when Hei Er led Zhang Xiaofeng to meet the Lord of the Secret Realm, he should have felt that the mana fluctuations emanating from Zhang Xiaofeng's body were not too strong.
And at this moment, these mountain people in the inn, if the rich man speaks, most of the people here will be the outlaws, and Zhang Xiaofeng is a messenger sent by Heavenly Court.
They didn't care about this, after all, the prestige of Heavenly Court had been passed down from generation to generation, and they had never seen it with their own eyes, and for them who had lived here since childhood, their horizons were so wide, and they had never even gone out of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm.
Even if the Lord of the Secret Realm never mentioned the fact that the Hundred Fire Secret Realm was only a tiny secret realm in order to strengthen his rule, they would be kept in the dark, sitting in the well and watching the sky, without the slightest fear.
Life in the inn was still good.
There are many cultivators in the inn, there are sword cultivators who cultivate swords, there are little immortals who cultivate the law, and there are also physical cultivators who refine the body, sometimes Zhang Xiaofeng sits in the lobby and listens to them tell some anecdotes, often a few hours have passed.
The number of people in the Hundred Flames Secret Realm gradually increased, and most of them gathered in this inn.
After all, a radius of 100 miles, and only the down payment of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm can go so boldly, specifically to earn the money of the people on the mountain.
Zhang Xiaofeng found a lot of fresh faces and asked the people around him.
In the past few days, Zhang Xiaofeng has always been mixed in the crowd to listen and laugh, so he has also become a member of the crowd and is regarded as his own by this small gang.
Therefore, everyone didn't hide it, Zhang Xiaofeng, you told me a rough idea of what I said.
These people are all friends made by the Lord of the Secret Realm when he traveled all over the world, and they come from the rest of the major secret realms.
Zhang Xiaofeng condensed his mana in his eyes and looked at everyone without a trace.
Sure enough, the cultivation is almost the same.
There are six orders and seven orders, although they are not very strong, but in the Hundred Flames Secret Realm, they can be regarded as core combat power.
The inn is not small, it can live about three or four hundred people, the house is about the same, but there are a few rooms that can be called extravagant, there is a large array of spirits under the ground of the room, which can quickly collect spiritual power, which is very beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators, and the extravagance is naturally far more than that, just saying that an ink bed in the center of the room is worth a thousand gold, not only warm in winter and cool in summer, the ink stone in it also has the effect of nourishing the soul, and it is often difficult to find a thousand gold.
Such rooms generally have their own belongings, including the lord of the secret realm, and are occupied by four or five people who can speak in the secret realm.
Today, everyone got together and talked about the birthday of the Lord of the Secret Realm.
"What are you all sending?"
Everyone gossiped, but most of them didn't say it directly, and they talked about him around the corner.
"What about you?" Zhang Xiaofeng, who was suddenly mentioned, was a little surprised.
Looking at the little fairy who was looking at him suspiciously, Zhang Xiaofeng was not ready to answer, but when more and more eyes gathered on him, Zhang Xiaofeng still sighed helplessly.
"Some magic weapons. ”
Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, their minds were spinning rapidly, and while measuring whether they could get their gifts, they looked at Zhang Xiaofeng to see who this was.
Zhang Xiaofeng sighed and continued to listen to the crowd chatting.
Everyone came from all over the world, and Zhang Xiaofeng took the lead, and some people didn't hide and tucked away, and said it directly.
Zhang Xiaofeng listened carefully and found that most of them were things he had never heard of, and a few of them could feel the preciousness of them by listening to the name.
What Zhang Xiaofeng said to the Queen Mother at this time, the master of the secret realm of the Hundred Flames Secret Realm is a rich man who has some understanding.
Halfway through, Zhang Xiaofeng quietly left the heated crowd of discussions, turned his head and went back to the room.
The spiritual power in the secret realm is much purer than that in the mortal world, although it is not as strong as the heavenly court, but it can also be called unique.
Zhang Xiaofeng didn't want to waste that kind of opportunity.
Just like what he said before, he is too weak at the moment, and he is tied up in this most dangerous secret realm, and it is even more sluggish and difficult to do things in Heavenly Court.
Zhang Xiaofeng sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about the Taiji diagram in his mind, and soon entered a state of concentration.
I feel that some of the surrounding spiritual power is slowly gathering towards me, and after continuous purification, it turns into the most basic spiritual element and enters his body, and at the same time, he can feel that his mana has also increased a little.
The tremendous satisfaction that cultivation brings is indeed easy to indulge in.
Zhang Xiaofeng meditated on Tai Chi Tu all day long, basically so tired that he fell asleep directly, and after waking up, he walked into cultivation again.
By the time Zhang Xiaofeng came to his senses, the birthday of the Lord of the Secret Realm was finally coming.
Because the status of the master of the secret realm in the secret realm is extraordinary, this time I congratulate you on your birthday. There is really a feeling of celebration for the whole world.
Zhang Xiaofeng pushed open the window of the inn, and from a distance, he could hear a group of people discussing the topic of the birthday banquet of the Lord of the Secret Realm not far away.
"Last year's birthday banquet was really magnificent, and people from all over the world came, especially the knight in the robe, who was really handsome and blinded my eyes. ”
"What are you, last year, the master of our secret realm opened a martial arts competition to celebrate his birthday, and that is called a wonderful, every dragon fight, all of them are the top talents in our secret realm. ”
"Yes, and it is said that Heavenly Court will also send people this time, I don't know what kind of person it will be, it will be very strong, right? After all, it is Heavenly Court.
“......”
Everyone said a word, Zhang Xiaofeng sat in front of the window, blowing a small breeze, and listened quietly.
