Chapter 389: Entering the city to make it difficult
81_81974 But Chu Yuan didn't have anything good, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and flew towards the island ahead.
Seeing a huge land in the distance, with a forest of magnificent buildings, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance, Chu Yuan knew that this was Chongming Island, but he didn't expect it to be much bigger than he imagined. The closer you get to the island, the more sailboats there are, and the number of monks in groups increases.
There were still thousands of meters away from the island, and Chu Yuan felt a thick coercion pressing on him, Chu Yuan's brows couldn't help frowning, the sword light sank dozens of feet, and the black and white color in Chu Yuan's eyes flashed.
"It looks like a ban has been put in place."
Chu Yuan looked at the vague fluctuation of the formation, which obviously did not allow people to fly over Chongming Island, so he had to fall.
Chu Yuan looked at the sailboat under his feet, and saw that many people on the sailboat were waving to him.
"Childe, there is a rule on Chongming Island, where it is within fifteen miles of the island, it is forbidden to fly, and you must take a boat." Lu Zhu seemed to see Chu Yuan's doubts and hurriedly explained.
"I see, then let's go down." Chu Yuan glanced at the ships in the sea, and with a flash of sword light, it landed on one of the ships.
The rowing man was an old man, obviously a mortal, and when he saw Chu Yuan falling on the boat, he did not show the slightest discoloration, but said with a smile: "Thank you for the boat that this son hired the old man, according to the regulations, everyone who gets on the boat will have a lower grade spirit stone." ”
"Do you want spirit stones?" Chu Yuan's eyes blinked, it was not very far from the island, and he actually asked for a spirit stone, the price was a bit expensive.
"Yes, Childe, this is collected according to the will of the island owner, no matter which ship is at this price." The old man explained with a smile with a respectful expression.
"Take it."
Chu Yuan threw the old man two low-grade spirit stones, and sat down.
"Childe, sit down." The old man put away the spirit stone, reminded him, and as soon as the oar moved, the boat had already started.
"Old man, what happened on Chongming Island, why does everyone look weird." Green beads rolled their eyes and asked the old man.
"Hehe, I don't know much about mortals, but I heard that some time ago, I don't know where a woman came, she killed someone when she saw it, and extracted the soul of the monk, and many disciples of the sects on Chongming Island were also killed by her, which angered many sects, and the elders of these forces joined forces to capture the witch, and guess what, the joint efforts of dozens of Yuanying elders were actually escaped by the witch." Although the old man is a mortal, he also knows some about the major events that happened on Chongming Island, and said with a wry smile.
"No wonder so many monks have gone out to sea to search." Luzhu said softly.
"Childe, you all just came here, you better be careful, that witch is indiscriminate, and she will kill people when she sees them." When the old man talked about the witch, his face was also a lot more solemn.
"We'll take notice." Lu Zhu hurriedly said.
Tightly clinging to the green beads, he talked with the old man to pass the time. The two talked to each other.
Chu Yuanpan sat on the boat as if he had never heard of it, and soon the ships were getting closer and closer to Chongming Island, and thousands of sailing ships were moored in the harbor, and the wharf was full of people and traffic, a prosperous scene.
"It's almost there, childe, girl, you guys are ready, there are still two spirit stones to be levied on the island." Seeing that the ship was about to dock, the old man reminded.
"I also want spirit stones, this island raised by a son of a bitch, everything needs spirit stones." When Chu Yuan heard this, he cursed in his heart.
The boat leaned on the dock, Chu Yuan raised his head and took a look, only to see more than a dozen monks in uniform standing on the dock.
An old man with a white beard and white hair sat at a desk, smiling at the sight of someone coming ashore.
The coming of Chu Yuan and Lu Zhu naturally attracted his attention, and the old man saw that Chu Yuan's clothes were a little different from those in the sea area, and knew that they were from other places.
Chu Yuan glanced at it, and behind the dock was the gate to enter the city, with three big red characters written on it, "Chongming City"
"This son, miss, you are guests from afar, we welcome the arrival of the two of you on Chongming Island." The arrival of Chu Yuan and Green Bead made the smile on the old man's wrinkled face even stronger.
"Well, yes, we're new here." Chu Yuan didn't refute either, nodded and said.
"The cost of entering the city is two spirit stones, you two know." The old man's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and he smiled.
"These are four spirit stones." Chu Yuan didn't want to say anything, he just took a break and bought some medicinal materials and necessary items at sea, and when he heard this, he immediately took out four spirit stones.
"Childe, the two newcomers should not be familiar with the city, I have a map of Chongming City here, each of which only charges five spirit stones, the price is affordable, and Tong Su is not bullied." The old man smiled and began to sell to Chu Yuan.
"Thanks, but I don't need to, I'm just buying some items and I'll get out of here." When Chu Yuan heard this, he almost greeted the eighteenth generation of the old man's ancestors, and a map cost five spirit stones, so go and grab it. Chu Yuan's face did not change, and he said lightly.
"No, I don't." The old man was a little surprised, usually people who just came to Chongming City would buy a map, this is the rule here, seeing that Chu Yuan is not a rule, this makes his face a little ugly.
"Childe, you don't need a map, you look here, there are so many guides, you just pick one, and he will take you to where you want to go." The old man's expression moved slightly, but he had also experienced the wind and waves, and his face did not show a trace of anger, and he said calmly.
Chu Yuan's face changed slightly, he knew that this person was obviously going to deliberately make things difficult for him, it seemed that there was no spirit stone, this person really kicked his nose in the face.
"Isn't it okay if Chu doesn't want it?" Chu Yuan was most jealous of others forcing him, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly.
The old man's eyes narrowed, and he glanced at the big man behind him, in his opinion, Chu Yuan was just a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but he was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, so naturally he would not be afraid of Chu Yuan, which was also the reason why he blatantly planned to blackmail Chu Yuan.
If he met a monk who was higher than him, he would naturally not be embarrassed and would immediately let him in.
"This son, that can't tolerate you, you have to ask for it, you have to ask for it, you have to ask for it." A strange smile appeared on the old man's face, and his eyes changed.
Soon, there were four or five big men who had surrounded Chu Yuan and Green Bead, and it seemed that Chu Yuan would not let him into the city without a single spirit stone.
"Is this the hospitality of Chongming Island, Chu finally saw it." Chu Yuan stared at the old man, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Old man, this is for your good, childe, look at it, Chongming Island is so big, I'm afraid you'll get lost." The old man looked kind and said with a smile
