Chapter 68: Entering Fang City for the First Time
Chapter 68 Entering Fang City at the beginning
Three days later, Xie Lan and Jiao Yong came to a city, this city is not big, a radius of dozens of miles, but in this cold and frozen world, everything is white, this black city is particularly prominent, the wall is as high as ten zhang is all composed of gray boulders, a team of soldiers patrolling on the city wall, and the appearance of strict guard, and above the city gate, three big black characters came into Xie Lan's eyes: Shangyang City.
Seeing Xie Lan standing in front of the gate of Shangyang City, Jiao Yong opened his mouth and said, "Xie Daoyou, come with me, I have been to Shangyang City once." ”
Xie Lan turned his head, smiled and said, "In this way, it will trouble Jiao Daoyou." ”
Before the two came to the city gate side by side, Xie Lan looked at a sign placed under the stone wall next to the city gate, which read: Those who enter the city, two lower grade spirit stones. Seeing this, Xie Lan asked curiously, "What you actually received when you enter the city here is a spirit stone?" ”
Jiao Yong replied as a matter of course: "Of course, fifty percent of the people in this city are monks, and the ordinary people living in the city do not have this restriction, they all have the ability to show that they live here, and most of these city guards know the residents of this place. Xie Daoyou, don't look at this Shangyang City, although it is small, its geographical location is very unique, it is the closest city near the Deyasi Mountains. You also know that there are many elixirs in the Deyasi Mountains, and if you don't go too deep, you can also hunt demon beasts, which can be exchanged for a large number of cultivation resources, which can be said to be one of the most popular places for casual cultivation. Moreover, many monastic sects have opened some shops here to purchase materials, my Tiandaomen has set up a Huiling Pavilion here, specializing in receiving some special materials, as far as I know, even the Danxia Sect, which is very far away, also has a special shop here, called what is the Dan Building, Danxia Sect as a major alchemy sect, the pills refined are very popular, and the price is fair. The various spiritual materials flowing out of this Deyasi Mountain Range, as well as demon cores, etc., can be obtained by Danxia Sect at least as much as thirty percent. ”
Speaking of this, Jiao Yong's face obviously showed a look of unhappiness.
At this time, the guard at the city gate said, "Two immortal masters, look, this spirit stone entering the city? Xie Lan came back to his senses at this time, looking at the guard in front of him, who was obviously in the middle stage of Qi cultivation, and was about to take out the spirit stone from his Zhai Yun bracelet, but Jiao Yong next to him had already thrown a sign, the guard looked at it briefly, quickly bowed, respectfully handed back the brand, and then said: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive me." As he spoke, he turned sideways and personally accompanied Xie Lan and the two into the city.
Xie Lan glanced at Jiao Yong curiously, and Jiao Yong said slightly proudly: "My Heavenly Dao Gate is quite good in this Beiming, and the city lord of Shangyang City used to be an outer disciple of my Heavenly Dao Gate, when I came here last time, this was a token he gave me, and it was usually useless, but I didn't expect to use it today, hehe." ”
The guard said respectfully: "This lord said with a smile, this is the token that our city lord carries with him, and when he sees the card, he can directly mobilize three hundred soldiers." ”
Jiao Yong looked satisfied, and then said, "In this case, I should also visit the Wang City Lord another day." You stand down, I'll take this Daoist brother for a walk at will, and you can tell you the city lord truthfully. ”
"Yes." The guard saluted, then withdrew.
Jiao Yong shook his fan, looked at Xie Lan and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are new to the mountain, and you have just come down the mountain, there must be a lot of things you don't understand, so it's better to arrange it with me." ”
"Thank you, then, I'll be respectful and obey." Xie Lan hugged his fists and said very gratefully.
It was almost noon, under the leadership of Jiao Yong, they came to a very famous restaurant here, called Heavenly Upstairs, Xie Lan smiled, secretly thought to himself, this restaurant is so big, seeing Xie Lan's expression, Jiao Yong also smiled, his right hand shook, the fan had been closed, and then gently knocked on his left hand, squinted his eyes and said: "Call you Xie Daoyou will inevitably have some points, these days, you and I are friends, then I will call you Brother Xie, Brother Xie, look at the name of this restaurant, Do you think that the owner here is a little too big? ”
Xie Lan smiled noncommittally.
Seeing this, Jiao Yong then said: "When I first came here, I had the same opinion as you, but since I ate the food here, I realized that this name does have a hint of flavor. At this point, Jiao Yong simply closed his eyes, and actually reminisced about himself, and then he said: "These **** have also eaten the food cooked by Brother Xie, it is indeed very delicious, but the things we eat are mundane things after all, since this heavenly upstairs is close to the Deyasi Mountains, near the water under the platform, most of the food cooked contains spiritual materials, after hundreds of years of research in the heavenly upstairs, it is very good to make some delicious and beneficial dishes for our monks, if it is placed in our sect, only to cultivate, How can you taste so delicious. ”
Xie Lan also moved his index finger after hearing this, and then said: "That is the case, then in order to express my gratitude to Brother Jiao, I will invite you this time." ”
"Oh? Are you sure? Jiao Yong said playfully.
"Hehe, look at what Brother Jiao said, isn't it just a meal, what can't you be sure of? Xie has benefited a lot from the days he has been with Brother Jiao, and he should be grateful. Xie Lan said confidently.
While speaking, the two of them had already stepped on the heavenly floor, Xie Lan secretly thought to himself that since he broke the Evil Moon Alliance, he had also brought some gold and silver from the underground palace, no matter how expensive the food here was, he should be able to eat a meal.
was respectfully greeted by the shopkeeper on the second floor, the two found a table by the window, Xie Lan glanced at it, and found that there were many people eating here, basically all monks. Smelling the faint aroma, Xie Lan couldn't help but look forward to it a little more.
After the two of them sat down separately, Xie Lan took the recipe handed over by the shopkeeper, and then saw the price on it, he couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that the words used to pay the bill for eating here were not gold and silver, but spirit stones, and looked at the price at the back, it was obviously not cheap, Xie Lan had a trace of cold sweat on his head, and there were only six medium-grade spirit stones and dozens of lower-grade spirit stones in his Zhai Yun bracelet, but the ordinary dishes here cost forty or fifty low-grade spirit stones, and it seemed that it was really not something that ordinary people could eat. Xie Lan simply ordered two dishes, namely pheasant drunken and five spirit kernels, these two dishes are close to a medium-grade spirit stone, and then he handed the recipe to Jiao Yong, who was not polite, ordered four dishes in one go, and then said to Xie Lan: "There is a spirit lake in the depths of this Deyasi Mountain Range, and there is a fish in the lake called snow sturgeon, the meat is smooth and delicious, and the most important thing is that it has a certain enhancement effect on the flesh of my cultivator, which is one of the best dishes here." ”
The shopkeeper's face was happy, and then he said: "Guest officer, you are right, do you want to have some more spirit fruit wine from us, it tastes mellow and sweet, and it can also increase one or two spiritual powers." ”
Jiao Yong was about to answer, but Xie Lan waved his hand again and again and said, "No need, we have it." "The price of the spirit fruit wine is quite expensive, after Brother Jiao ordered a few dishes, his pocket was already stretched, where did he dare to ask for the spirit wine again, he couldn't pay the bill at that time, and he would lose the face of our Qingxuanmen.
After saying that, Xie Lan raised his hand and shook it, and a jar of Hundred Flowers Spirit Brew appeared on the table, gently patted the mud seal, and an intoxicating aroma wafted in, Jiao Yong's eyes lit up, obviously he was also a good wine person, he quickly put away the fan, poured a bowl himself, and then said unceremoniously: "Brother Xie, why didn't you bring it earlier if you have such a good wine." To punish you, I'll drink a bowl of myself. ”
Xie Lan smiled awkwardly: "I don't have much of this kind of spirit wine, besides, a few days ago in the barren mountains, everything should be paired with wine, and now, so many spirit things should naturally be matched with spirit wine." ”
"The wine is not bad, hehe, come, let's have a bowl." Jiao Yong said after filling both of them.
The delicacies were brought one after another, and it was really delicious, Xie Lan was very happy to eat, especially the snow sturgeon, the meat was white and tender, very chewy, and the whole body was boneless, and it was in the abdomen, a warm warm current slowly flowed in the dantian, and then scattered into the limbs and hundreds of remains, which made people very comfortable, Xie Lan couldn't help but think that if she brought this dish to the little senior sister, she would definitely be very happy. But when he thought of the price of this dish, it was three medium-grade spirit stones, and Xie Lan felt a little painful.
After settling the bill, Xie Lan only had a medium-grade spirit stone left, and he was secretly worried in his heart, but he heard Jiao Yong say: "I wonder if Brother Xie has ever been to my monk's special market?" ”
Xie Lan said: "That's not true, I've been cultivating in the mountains, and I've never been out of the Qingxuan Mountain Range in the past ten years, and as for Fang City, I've only heard of it, but I haven't been there." ”
"Then come with me in the afternoon, and I'll take you to the northern part of Shangyang City, where our monks gather, and there are many good things, and the markets I told you about this morning are there." Jiao Yong hiccuped, and then said lazily.
"I can't ask for it, it's troublesome Brother Jiao." Xie Lan said with his fists clenched.
"No trouble, hehe. Brother Xie come with me. "Anyway, Jiao Yong should go first.
After a while, the two came to the north of Shangyang City, there is a square here, there are many stalls, just like the mundane world, and there are even people shouting loudly, all of this is very new to Xie Lan, he walked to the nearest stall to him, and found that there are several jade boxes here, and the lid of the box is obviously engraved with a formation, and he can see the spiritual object inside through the jade box, "This should be water ginseng, there is probably hundreds of years of fire, and it can barely be said to be a good thing, what, Brother Xie intends to be with this thing?" ”
Looking at Xie Lan's excited face, Jiao Yong asked curiously, it stands to reason that Qingxuanmen is also a big faction, why is Brother Xie so interested in these common elixirs, Jiao Yong obviously doesn't quite understand.
Xie Lan's next sentence made Jiao Yong speechless: "Fellow Daoist, dare to ask how many spirit stones are in this box?" ”
"You're not joking, fellow Daoist, are you?" The stall owner in his thirties was a little inexplicable, but he didn't see Xie Lan's cultivation, and said politely.
Jiao Yong hurriedly pulled Xie Lan aside, "Brother Xie, these jade boxes are some basic things, the elixirs you dig will lose their medicinal properties within a certain period of time, and these jade boxes can be properly preserved." I'll send you ten in a moment if you need to. ”
"If you say it, then thank you Brother Jiao." Xie Lan still wanted to go around, so he was pulled by Jiao Yong and walked towards the other side.
Passing through the square, there were several rows of very luxurious buildings, Jiao Yong said to Xie Lan beside him: "Most of the monks in those squares are casual cultivators, mainly for exchange, and you can occasionally find some good things in them. Jiao Yong took Xie Lan to a magnificent attic, and then continued: "But if you want to buy or sell something, it is better to hand it over to these spiritual workshops in front of you, and introduce you to it, this is the Huiling Pavilion I mentioned to you earlier. ”
