It's only been three days, and the people of Fangyuan City have forgotten all the big battles that took place on the lake that day, and the original life trajectory doesn't seem to have been affected in the slightest.

Looking at the world, Fangyuan City can be regarded as a huge gathering place for cultivators, and the degree of its complexity is unknown even to those who have grown up in it. This is not to say that Fangyuan City is really disorganized, and in general, it can still be divided into several areas.

Built on the water is the most chaotic trading area, where anything can be sold for sale, regardless of the source, regardless of the whereabouts, each takes what he needs, and the money and goods are cleared.

Between the lake and the foot of the mountain, there are a series of industries and industries related to cultivation—elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans...... Compared to the previous hybrid, it is clearer here, and there are also a few time-honored shops. The Qingying Furnace where Ning Du obtained the Cihua Sword was a fairly reliable old shop selling magic weapons. It doesn't say that time-honored brands are reliable, they also do the business of killing people and overselling goods. In Fangyuan City, there is no such thing as "justice".

Mixed in the midst of various forces, there are killer organizations. As long as the price is up, there is no job they dare not take, even if it is to assassinate the emperor of a small country.

Further up, the buildings built on the hill are even more dense, and there is no demarcation in sight, and no one can tell what the people above do. But it is clear to people that there is nothing special and it is better not to go to it. It is rumored that the hidden powerhouses in Fangyuan City basically live in the mountains.

"Have you heard? The imperial court has just ordered the establishment of the Fangyuan Mansion, which is the same as the Tiandu Mansion, and will have separate control over our area. The man sitting in the humble teahouse looked at the mountain and chatted.

"It's just a set, anyway, it's a false appearance. This piece of land, digging three feet into the ground, is all blood black and blood black, unless it is directly leveled, how can it be managed?" said the person on the other side indifferently.

"What kind of official did we have here before? It seems to be a martial cavalry captain, what is it called Xu Ji?"

"Who remembers this thing? Have you seen it? Has this Lord Xu ever shown his face? Has he ever been in charge of Fang Yuan City? If he dares to show up, I am afraid that it is possible to be hacked to death on the street with a knife!"

"But no! We live a good life here, why is someone suddenly pressing us on our heads? I would rather pay a high protection fee every day than have any Fangyuan Mansion!"

"Look! This big group of officials won't stay long, and they will have to pack up their bedding and roll up, and go back where they came from! This is not the place they should be in charge of, nor is it the place they should be in charge!"

Bai Yishi heard it very clearly, and he remembered it all in his heart. After settling the account for a cup of tea, he continued to spin around the intricate building.

It is better to hear than to see, Bai Yishi did not follow the prefect Zhao Xincheng and the others to prepare to take office, but came to Fangyuan City alone. He was going to take at least a turn here before going to the established yamen to take up his post.

Even with Bai Yishi's judgment, he was a little lost at this time. The roads here are not simply criss-crossed, but high and low, and none of them are due south or north. Even those who live here may not be able to tell the path here.

"Let's go and try it. ”

As soon as Bai Yishi left, he entered a dead end, getting darker and darker, and there were two sloppy-looking strong men in front of him, staring at him.

"Excuse me, can you get out of here?" The seemingly dusty Bai Yishi was obviously out of step with this dirty and cramped path.

"Where did you come from?" the strong man twisted his neck and walked towards Bai Yishi. For a teenager who has not yet fully grown up, this kind of block is extremely oppressive.

"Don't come out. Bai Yishi said calmly.

"The kid who just came to Fangyuan City? Do you understand the rules of Fangyuan City? Don't go where you shouldn't go, don't worry about the things you should be in charge of. Otherwise, you'll die. "The strong man clearly has bad intentions. Killing someone in such a corner will not be discovered by anyone.

"I'm looking for Mr. Lee. Bai Yishi said before the strong man's big hand reached out to him.

"Mr. Li, which Mr. Li?" the strong man asked with a little confusion.

"There is only Mr. Li here. "Of course Bai Yishi doesn't know any Mr. Li, he can only try his luck, there are so many people surnamed Li in the world, there will always be one here.

The strong man looked at Bai Yishi suspiciously, and said in a rough voice: "Since you are here to find Mr. Li, then please go inside!" The two of them, as the outermost guards, mainly blocked some accidental hits, and there were layers of guards inside. Whether this person is true or false should be determined by the guards behind.

Bai Yishi passed between the two strong men and walked towards the darkening passage. He didn't have much to retreat from now, so he simply walked in and had a look.

It's like a garbage dump, and even in winter, the smell of rot and fermentation is still so pungent that you can't help but want to vomit.

Bai Yishi walked to the end, and two more people stood guard in front of a huge black wooden door.

The two people at the door only stared at Bai Yishi and didn't ask questions.

Bai Yishi walked straight forward and was about to push the door open with his hand, but the guard grabbed his hand.

"Did you open the door?"

"Take your hand away, I don't want to say it a second time. Bai Yishi still said calmly.

The other party stared at Bai Yishi, and saw that there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, so he let go of his hand, and without asking too much, he actually opened the door for Bai Yishi.

The people who were able to come here were people of considerable status, far from being able to provoke one or two guards. Moreover, they have killed countless people, and they are sure that they can see people's minds at a glance. was overly confident, so they didn't interrogate Bai Yishi's origin.

Bai Yishi didn't expect that he had passed another level, but fortunately, the coldness in his palms became heavier.

In any case, Bai Yishi is just an ordinary person who has no cultivation, sneaking into an unknown place alone, and the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe.

After walking between the rugged passages for half a quarter, Bai Yishi encountered a door again, and the guards here were obviously different from the previous two groups of guards, the people here were dressed in strong clothes, standing straight, and not angry and arrogant.

"It's just a block, but here is the real check. Bai Yishi settled down and continued to walk forward.

"Tokens!" the guard said coldly, blocking the way.

"I am the token. ”

Bai Yishi came here on this way, not just for sightseeing, he paid great attention to the scenes along the way. The main reason why he came all the way here was because he saw many footprints similar to him, which means that many people his age came here.

No matter what the era, no matter where you are, the business of selling people will always exist.

And in the world where practitioners exist, it is self-evident what kind of people are most worthy of being sold.

Bai Yishi knew very well that it was impossible for him, or even for the entire court to sweep away the darkness in Fangyuan City, even if he could grasp a dark line, it would not be easy, so he was not wandering aimlessly, but looking for a huge interest group.

The guard squinted slightly, his gaze like a torch, as if he could see through Bai Yishi's skin, and after a moment, opened the door behind him.

"It's already started inside. The guard said in a cold voice.

Bai Yishi didn't look at the guards and passed through the door. It seems that his judgment is correct, this is a place of human trafficking, and he is indeed right to use himself as a token.

As soon as I passed through the door, there was a passage of three feet, and it suddenly opened up, and immediately a woman with a beautiful face came up with a plate, and a wide black robe was placed on it.

Bai Yishi put on a black robe under the woman's service and followed the other party into a rather gray hall. He glanced around and found a place where no one was sitting down.

The hall is a semicircular trapezoidal with a faint light in the center, and a square cage is placed on it, covered with a black cloth.

In the center, a tall woman grabbed a hand from the black cloth and pierced it with a needle, and a drop of blood immediately dripped onto the long white jade ruler in the woman's hand, and when the color on it changed, she held it high and announced: "Grade C third class, ten." ”

People who come here often know the rules here, so there is no need for people on stage to explain too much.

"Eighteen. ”

"Twenty. ”

"Twenty-two. ”

Voices came from different directions in the hall, and after the last man's voice fell, no one spoke for thirty breaths, which meant that he wanted someone on the stage.

After watching carefully for a while, Bai Yishi basically understood the rules here. As time passed, the sight in front of him became more and more shocking.

For more than an hour, Bai Yishi saw that the cage covered by black cloth on the stage was constantly changing, and the people on the stage were also constantly raising the white jade ruler in their hands to detect the results, and the people around them also reported cold numbers one by one.

Bai Yishi now finds that a good memory is sometimes not good, and he remembers the strings of numbers too clearly, and he can't get rid of them in his mind. He had never been so restless as he had been today, and he felt a force grip on his chest, pressing down so relentlessly that he could barely breathe.

"This concludes today's auction, and we invite all buyers to come backstage to complete the handover. With the announcement of the tall woman on the center stage, the black-robed man sitting in the hall gradually dispersed.

Bai Yishi sat for a long time before he had the strength to stand up, but he couldn't think about anything very clearly now, and returned along the same path.

Fortunately, there was someone in front of him on that road, and Bai Yishi was able to follow. The guards couldn't see the faces under the black robes, so they didn't question it much. After all, it was a group of people who went in, and it might be someone else who came out, so it was more conducive to hiding their identities.

Walking past the pair of sloppy strong men, Bai Yishi continued to walk forward.

Just as Bai Yishi was about to turn the alley, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Stop, lift your hat!" the guard at the last gate actually chased after him at this time!
