Chapter 35: Lanzhou's Ethos (5,400 Words in One)
Overseas Lanzhou, a border city.
Zhao Li and Lu Yuanlong and the others came here early in the morning.
He came to Lanzhou nominally as a traveling businessman, and since he wanted to make a show, he had to make a full set, and he needed to sell the goods he brought with Lu Yuanlong.
Then he separated from Lu Yuanlong and the others, saying that he thought that the scenery of Lanzhou was not bad, and he planned to stay here for a while, so he would not go out with them to explore the Xinghai Waiwai, and Lu Yuanlong didn't say anything about Zhao Li's statement, those who were very interested in the Xinghai Waiwai would most likely retreat when they saw the crisis in the Xinghai.
Sixty or seventy percent of them will stay in Lanzhou, and some of the monks of various ethnic groups here are here because of this.
It's just that he plans to help Zhao Li sell the hoarded spiritual materials, which can be regarded as a shared sorrow.
Zhao Li thanked him, he still looked like Xu Fu, but he changed into a more Lanzhou-style outfit, the overall tone was ordinary blue-gray, and the details were changed according to Lanzhou's style.
Under his feet, he stepped on black boots with cloud bottoms, did not hang down his jade pendant, had a belt on his forehead, and his black hair hung down. It doesn't look like a monk of extraordinary origin, and it's a little different from ordinary fellows, so as not to be mistaken.
This is the largest spiritual material trading market in the entire Lanzhou, and monks are constantly entering this enchantment.
Because of Lu Yuanlong's help, although Zhao Li was a novice, he also got a place to set up a stall, took a copy of his spiritual materials and put it on it, and then wrote a jade talisman with a good or ordinary appearance, how much it cost, and how much it was stocked.
Zhao Li didn't plan to make a fortune with this, but just took a mid-range price.
Then he sat cross-legged, his eyes were looking at this bustling place of spiritual material trading, and he groaned in his heart, from the soul of the gods and demons, he got the place where half of the body of the Eastern Emperor was located, but that place was far away from Lanzhou and belonged to the outer sea of stars.
That must represent all kinds of dangers and troubles on the road, such as the unknown sea eye secret realm, the deep-sea giant beast that will appear at any time, or the stars that have given birth to a small world, which will not harm his life, but will definitely slow him down.
In addition, he is not familiar with the sea of stars.
Zhao Li felt that it was not a good choice for him to set off rashly, and Lu Yuanlong and the others were just ordinary traveling merchants, and if they were involved, it would basically be a dead end, he would not do this kind of thing, it would be much better to change to the dragon clan.
An ordinary crisis in the sea of stars can hardly cause a life crisis for the dragons.
In addition, the dragon clan is looking for traces of the ancestor of the dragon clan outside the star, and he must have sufficient experience to avoid a large number of unnecessary troubles and save him a lot of time.
However, Ao Li said that the dragon clan patriarch is currently in a special situation.
Unable to contact with the law.
I don't know if it's true or not.
Zhao Lizheng was thinking to himself, heard a noisy sound, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that several demon clans and human clans in the distance began to argue and drink angrily over a somewhat shriveled spirit fruit, and even developed to a faint tendency to make a move, that spirit fruit was not a high-quality product, and the aura in the fruit had been leaked out at least thirty percent.
After listening for a while, I heard that the reason for the dispute was only three spars.
The human race thinks that this spirit fruit is no longer worth the original price, and has to reduce a part, while the demon clan thinks that it is a good fruit when it comes back, and refuses to suffer a loss, saying that if you don't want to go, love or not, the temper on both sides seems to be a little violent, and three sentences and two sentences begin to friction and conflict.
Zhao Li frowned, and Lu Yuanlong next to him sighed: "Here we are again......"
Zhao Li looked at him and said, "What did Daoyou say?"
Lu Yuanlong said: "Daoyou know that this is Lanzhou, which can be regarded as the place where the spiritual materials of the Jiuzhou Xinghai gather, extremely prosperous, I don't know how many monks come from all over the country every year, hoping to find a breakthrough in resources, in addition to placing hope on getting the spirit stone, there are also a considerable number of people whose goal is to enter the five sects." ”
"As long as he enters the Five Sects, even if he has a great opportunity, it is unknown whether he will become a real person one day. ”
He immediately sighed again and said, "It's a pity, the requirements of the five sects are too high. ”
"Not only is there a requirement to join, but there are also requirements for wanting to get the inheritance, if you maintain it at the same level for several years and don't go further, then don't want to get the true inheritance, you will be expelled from it, and the competition in the door is extremely fierce, every year there are five disciples who are injured because of the battle in the door, but so what. ”
"Isn't it normal to have a chance to build a road and take some risks?"
"You and I go out to the sea of stars, and the same is true. ”
Zhao Li thought for a moment, and saw that there was a monk wearing the costumes of the five sects with a cold and arrogant expression, throwing down the spirit stone, taking the high-grade spiritual materials, looking at the monk next to him with a hint of contempt and disdain, seeing that they were talking to each other gently, and those low-level monks who had to fight even three or five spirit stones to the point of almost drawing their swords.
Is this also deliberately cultivated by the gods and demons?
Constantly intensify the competition, take strength as the top, in this way, the disciples in the sect value interests, and because of this collision cultivation method, if you want to get more methods, you must have more powerful combat power, gods and demons are raising Gu.
In the end, these monks, who have strong combat ability and are indifferent, and who focus on self-interest cultivation, can easily step on the feelings of self-blame and shame brought about by betraying the human race, and turn into sharp blades to pierce into Jiuzhou.
Because this is already a model that they are very familiar with, defeating the same clan, getting benefits, getting spiritual materials and higher-level exercises, through decades and hundreds of years of training, they already have this kind of behavior trajectory, as well as strong aggression, and Jiuzhou's side, the family, school-based model is completely different.
Zhao Li's fingers lifted, tapped his knee, and groaned slightly.
Gu worms......
While he was thinking for a while, a flying boat magic weapon stopped on the gimbal here.
A new group of monks came out of it.
Among them, there are middle-aged men dressed in Da Zhou costumes, with some young men and women, with dusty expressions, but bookish, eyes are also bright, and his voice is illusory and low, not slow, Lu Yuanlong sneered, and said casually: "It's a sect or school from other places, and I want to come to this Lanzhou to get a piece of the pie." ”
"Look, in a few days I'll be running away with my face covered. ”
"The five sects have been ten thousand years old, and they have long become an iron lump, where can other monks be allowed to come?"
Anyway, there is nothing else to do to sell spiritual materials now, Lu Yuanlong and Zhao Li talked about pedestrians one by one, Zhao Li was a little weird, but he didn't find out before, this guy was actually a talker, and his mouth seemed to live a Gatling Bodhisattva, and he couldn't stop for a moment.
However, because of this old Jianghu, Zhao Li is also a lot familiar with Lanzhou's model.
I basically understand the structure of Lanzhou.
Lu Yuanlong is eloquent, understands the market, although he prepared more spiritual materials than Zhao Li, but he sold them out earlier than him, Zhao Li still has some left, the better it is, the better it is, the better it is, he will eat in a restaurant and then disperse, Lu Yuanlong went to the restaurant in advance to order food, Zhao Li thought, or simply not sell it, anyway, there is not much left.
Faintly perceiving a slight fluctuation, Zhao Li was slightly stunned, raised his eyes to look over, and saw a tall woman, and a huge man walking side by side, whispering something, the woman was wearing a red dress, the cuffs had a circle of ink, embroidered with dark gold silk threads, and a wisp of burning flame in the center of her eyebrows, there was a kind of extravagance that her hands could not say.
Zhao Li's gaze seemed to attract the attention of the other party.
The woman's voice paused slightly, turned her face sideways, and saw Zhao Li, Zhao Li's expression was calm, naturally, and asked skillfully: "Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy something?" The woman nodded and said politely: "No need." "Everything is like a normal thing that happens in this spiritual material market, and it is not worth paying attention to.
Zhao Li was thoughtful.
Eight or nine Xuangong is good at avoiding disasters, and can perceive his own sight, even if it is because he has just broken through and has not been completely proficient, even if it is because he has not deliberately concealed his breath just now, it also means that the other party's strength has reached a certain level.
Lanzhou, there are many upper-level monks who are strong, but a large number of grass-roots monks are very weak.
It seems that the previous speculation of two-thirds of the traitors is a bit too much, even within the five sects, there are most of the monks who earn money to sharpen those real Gu worms, and these monks can't get the true inheritance at all, but only play the role of a sharpening sword.
Zhao Li saw that no one looked at his spiritual materials, so he simply put things away.
When he came out, he saw the Terran monk who had been roaring for three spars and the demon monk squatting in a stall, expelling more than a dozen spars in exchange for some medicinal materials, holding them in his arms and kicking away.
The herb is used to heal meridian congestion.
Zhao Li thought for a while, listening to the stall owner next to him and the conversation between others, this young man's father was also a disciple of the Five Sects back then, and then he was seriously injured by the junior brother's plot, and he fell ill, so he could only barely survive, and he heard these people say that his own children have also entered these five sects, and he will have to bring a lot of spirit stones from home in the future.
Otherwise, if you are not as good as others in the competition, you will end up like this.
When Zhao Li saw the middle-aged man say this, a glimmer of light lit up in his eyes.
Raise Gu, and also use Gu worms to absorb the savings of the entire Lanzhou monks...... In order to achieve the maximum effect, this method is really ruthless, Zhao was touched, but he did not stop, just hurried by, arrived at the restaurant, had a banquet with Lu Yuanlong and others, and then separated.
Leaving the restaurant, I went to the place where the dragon clan was, but this time I wasn't even Ao Li.
Zhao was thoughtful and left quite politely.
After Zhao Li left, in the secret city of the dragon clan, Ao Li breathed a heavy sigh of relief, there was a cold sweat on his sideburns, and he finally left, he originally had a lot of respect for this wandering merchant who saved himself and suppressed the leylines of the earth by his friends, and also felt that this master could become a help for the dragon clan in the future.
But before, this Xu Fu actually sent a message saying that he hoped to talk to the patriarch.
This made Ao Li a little suspicious in his heart, if it was normal for him to invite Xu Fu before, then the other party wanted to take the initiative to meet with the patriarch, which meant that the other party had some kind of purpose, and before getting the consent of the patriarch and the elders of the dragon clan, he really had no way to let Xu Fu and the patriarch meet with peace of mind.
After all, there are many mysterious methods that work thousands of miles away.
But he was ashamed to deceive his life-saving benefactor, and there was no way to see Xu Fu again, so he simply hid here, and waited until the elders of the Dragon Clan got a conclusion, and after about an hour or so, Ao Li took out the Dragon Ball and entered the unique secret realm of the Dragon Clan, which is one of the foundations of the Dragon Clan's secret city.
It's more effective than the ordinary communication jade talisman.
Not only can it transmit sound, but it can also leave a trace of soul in the secret realm.
So that the existence of entering the secret realm can talk face-to-face, and if you want to enter the secret realm, you need a token, you need special means, it is basically impossible to leak, it is more reliable than the sound transmission, he relies on the dragon ball, and a wisp of primordial spirit slowly rises, like a dream, and enters the secret realm.
It was an illusory palace secret city, and the people who came and went were the core members of the dragon clan.
Ao Li was brought into the core and met the high-level of the dragon clan.
Seeing an elder who had never been seen in the past and was now traveling in the sea of stars, he saluted honestly, and finally he saw a woman dressed in red with a trace of flame in the center of his eyebrows, and a tall man with majestic eyebrows next to him, saluting respectfully and calling him the patriarch.
Then he immediately said that Xu Fu wanted to talk to the patriarch in person, and lowered his eyes and said:
"It's a big matter, so my subordinates don't dare to make their own decisions. ”
The man did not speak, and the cold and beautiful woman's voice was flat, and said:
"Yes. ”
Ao Li was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to say that the other party was somewhat unreliable and dangerous, but in the face of this woman, he couldn't speak, at this time, the senior next to him who was dressed in black and had an increasingly domineering bearing frowned and said:
"I don't think so, either. ”
"I don't know who the other party's real identity is?
The woman with a cold bearing looked at the man quietly.
When the latter's voice gradually became high and domineering, his voice was flat, and he said:
"He doesn't know the secret realm of the dragon clan. ”
"Communication refers to the transmission of sound, the eyelids. ”
The domineering and deep voice of the man in black stopped abruptly, and he opened his mouth and looked at the woman.
The woman looked at Jairus calmly.
"I naturally know that he is talking about the sound transmission, I mean, the sound transmission also needs to be cautious, you need to be careful, you need to be careful, you have to be on guard against other backhands that may appear, under the surface of things, there are often many other parts buried." ”
The cold woman was slightly stunned, and the majestic man next to her smiled:
"I didn't expect it, you would think so much, haha, Jair, it's not like you anymore. ”
Jairus opened her mouth.
This is because the damn inappropriate Beiyin has to be guarded against, because he was forced to participate in the affairs of the underworld, and he has seen a lot of souls confessing his past experiences, and he has seen a lot of deception and all kinds of betrayals, so he naturally has a feeling, but how can this be said? !
Finally, there is one more sentence, damn Beiyin.
He snorted coldly, raised his head slightly, and put his hands behind his back, with a deep bearing.
His voice was low and domineering, and he said slowly: "Shibei for three days, impressive." ”
"Are you still looking at the past? ”
The man seemed surprised, slowly bowed his head, and said: "What you said is right, but I was wrong, even if you can say such words, it seems that you have indeed made great progress in the period of time since I left." ”
Jairus never spoke, never responded, dressed in black, with a deep bearing.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart.
This sentence is also from Beiyin, and it is only used because it can show the personality more than what you think.
Jairus was reluctant to continue to mention this matter, coughed slightly, maintained her bearing, and said slowly:
"What ......is the matter with recruiting us and others this time?"
The woman's eyes fell, Ao Li stepped forward, and told everything that had happened during this time, including that he was plotted, including the monk turning into a stone Buddha to suppress the leylines, after that, the Lingying Sect, and the forces of scattered cultivation all rumored that this monk was a master of their lineage, and wanted to use this to gain prestige.
Jianwei sneered: "Lingying Sect is just that, just a casual cultivator, and dare to open this kind of mouth." ”
"I'm not afraid to make people laugh and lose their big teeth. ”
"And then, what else......
Ao Li was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Just yesterday, the strong man of the Lingying Sect who appeared at the leyline disappeared, and a red light hit the Lingying Sect Protector Sect Great Array, and the two immortal levels attacked with all their might, and they could barely block this move. ”
"The Lingying Sect began to attack my Dragon Clan, and the other four sects also reacted separately. ”
..................
Zhao Li stood on the street, raised his head slightly, and looked at the Dragon Clan's secret market in the hidden place.
A few calculations on his fingers are undulating, jumping between his fingers, eight or nine Xuangong is good at avoiding disasters, and he is also dabbling in the heavenly machine, he has practiced to the third level of eight or nine Xuangong, and he has been able to calculate that Ao Li is here, and many breaths are condensed in one place, and it seems to have turned into a secret realm.
Casually took back the jade chip, Zhao Li's eyes flashed with cash, and the eight or nine Xuangong strengthened the pupil technique and saw through the phantom array.
I faintly saw the outline of the secret realm, which was above the secret city.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a very high Yuan Shen personality, if it wasn't for the fact that he controlled eight or nine Xuan Gong, he would never have seen it.
Zhao Li thought about it, found a hidden place, the Yuan Shen emerged, wanted to enter, but was blocked, slightly stunned, and then from the white space, take a wisp of Ao Guang breath, before the secret realm was covered, two fingers were contaminated with dragon energy, straight slash, and the obstacle retreated.
............
Ao Li recounted the behavior of the four sects, and then focused on Xu Fu at the request of Jianwei.
Jairus frowned slightly, and immediately made a conclusion, saying: "It is true that there are some skills that can control the stars, but it is nothing more than that, if you really want to divide up and down, you still have to really fight." The rest of the dragon clan bowed slightly, and the tone of the words was a little loud, but this is the secret realm of the dragon clan, and they are all their own people, so they don't have to worry too much, and they all talk to each other casually.
Talk about this Xu Fu's strength level.
Thinking about what he wanted to contact the dragon patriarch for, what other purposes he had, and how to keep his danger as low as possible if he did, mixed with gossip about what he had seen.
At this time, outside the core of this secret realm, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Knock knock.
The conversation of many dragon clans paused slightly, and she frowned slightly, feeling quite unhappy in her heart, this is a secret meeting of the high-level dragon clan, who would dare to disturb at this time?
Many dragons were slightly stunned, turned their heads, and saw that after the formation was opened, a man wearing cyan clothes and a warm smile stood outside, raising his hand to knock on the door.
Zhao Li saw Ao Hong, saw the men and women he had met before, saw Ao Li, and his eyes swept over the man wearing the robe of the deputy of the Heavenly Dragon in the Difu Town, and then swept by casually. Raising his eyes slightly, he looked at the cold woman, smiled, and said leisurely as if they met for the first time today:
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to buy something?"
The voice paused slightly, and then bowed slightly, and his voice was gentle and elegant.
"In Xia Xufu, a traveling merchant ......"
The faces of surprise and anger froze and stiffened.
There was silence in the room.
PS: Yesterday I said I was on leave, and today I only have one change...... Slightly integrated outline, back to normal update tomorrow......
Change first, then change
