Damengze is located in the southwest of Lingcang, the area is about one-third the size of Lingcang, where the lakes are grouped, so it is called Ze.

Lingyu took the teleportation array from Lingyun City to Huiling Lake, and then went south along the Broken Water Mountain Range, entered Damengze through the Anling Ancient Road, and arrived at Changhe City.

Changhe City is the largest city in Damengze, and it is also the only city where scattered cultivation gathers.

Compared with the Lingcang gathered by the sect, Da Mengze is more demanding on loose cultivation, and the exercises and resources are in the hands of the family, and there is no second way to go except for taking refuge in the major families.

Changhe City is the hub of Damengze leading to Lingcang and Xingluo, and the atmosphere is relatively open, and there are often merchants from both places to bring exercises and treasures, so most of Damengze's scattered cultivation is gathered here.

Jackdaw Mountain is not far from Changhe City, just west of Changhe City, with the speed of the monk Jiedan, you can go back and forth in half a day.

When Lingyu arrived in Changhe City, she was not in a hurry to go to Jackdaw Mountain. With the xenophobic atmosphere of the Damengze family, I am afraid that as soon as she leaves Changhe City, she will be targeted by others. Anyway, she needs time to understand the customs of Da Mengze, and she will talk about it for a few days in Changhe City first.

"This ...... This fellow Daoist? Lingyu was wandering the streets of Changhe City when she heard someone shouting behind her.

The man's voice was not loud and hesitant, so she didn't care at all before, and the other party shouted several times before she turned her head.

This is a female cultivator in her thirties, with beautiful facial features, but she is a little tired and a little old. Looking at her cultivation, she is only a seventh-layer qi refining and her clothes are ordinary, so she should be a casual cultivator.

Lingyu didn't wear a sect robe, and her aura was also restrained, but she was a monk after all. There is momentum between the lines. The nun saw her for what she really was. The feeling of unpredictability is even greater. My heart went up and down, watching her stumble.

"This fellow Daoist, is there something wrong?" Lingyu asked.

The other party saw that she was a Taoist friend, and she didn't have the frame of her predecessors, thinking that she was also a Qi refining cultivator, but her cultivation was higher than herself, so she calmed down.

She gave a salute and said, "Stop Daoyou in a hurry." It's rude, concubine Yuan Ruolan. ”

Lingyu returned the salute, but did not report her name. Stopping people on the street, who knows what the other party wants to do.

Yuan Ruolan probably knew that the other party was defensive, and she was even more uncomfortable: "Daoist friends came from the north city gate, but Lingcang monks? ”

Lingyu's eyes narrowed: "How do you know that I came from the North City Gate?" "It's not close to the North Gate.

Yuan Ruolan saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved her hand: "Offended, as soon as Daoyou entered Changhe City, the concubine noticed it, but she didn't dare to talk to her......"

Lingyu didn't speak. Just staring at her. This Yuan Ruolan is so thin-skinned, she doesn't look like a female cultivator who came out to beg for a living. But she looked old. The fingers are calloused, and they don't look pampered. Could it be that he has just started a business and came out to solicit customers?

Under her expressionless gaze, Yuan Ruolan was even more at a loss, and said in a low voice: "Since Daoyou is from Lingcang, I don't know if there are exercises for sale?" I'm willing to buy ...... at a price higher than the shop."

"Exercises?" I thought that this Yuan Ruolan was here to solicit customers, but I didn't expect it to be a purchase exercise, and Lingyu was very surprised.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Yuan Ruolan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, as long as the foundation building period is included." ”

Lingyu asked, "Is the purchase price in the store very low?" ”

Yuan Ruolan replied: "Da Mengze sells very few exercises, and the purchase price in the store may not be low in the eyes of Daoists, but they sell it extremely expensive, and the difference in price is big." ”

So, she's here to pick up the bargain? Lingyu thought for a moment: "This deal is not a good deal for me. If it is an exclusive price, it will be several times higher, and the purchase price that you want to say is not an exclusive price, right? ”

Gongfa is different from materials, and it can be sold again, but Gongfa is indeed a rare material, except for some big road goods, no one will sell them at will, so there are two ways for the store to buy Gongfa. One is like selling a normal book, and the other is selling a single copy and no longer selling it to others.

The purchase price of the former is very low, just like a normal sale, and the buying and selling prices are quite different. The latter is many times higher and cannot be sold to others except for personal use.

Looking at Yuan Ruolan's dress, it doesn't look like she can afford an exclusive price, and she will not choose this kind of selling method when buying and selling exercises between ordinary casual cultivators.

Yuan Ruolan's face turned red: "Daoyou can also sell it again, sell it a few more times, it is more cost-effective than selling it to the store......

Lingyu shook her head without thinking: "It's too time-consuming." ”

Yuan Ruolan said hurriedly: "If you don't want to spend time, the concubine can introduce you to the Taoist, or sell it for the Taoist......

Lingyu shook her head and didn't agree. Giving kindness at will may not lead to good results, she has important things to do, it is better not to entangle with others.

Yuan Ruolan said without giving up: "Daoyou doesn't look like a businessman, if you come to Damengze and have something to do, the concubine can help......"

Seeing that Lingyu didn't respond, she was very disappointed and saluted her hastily: "I'm sorry, I was rude." He turned and walked away.

Looking at the back of Yuan Ruolan leaving, Lingyu suddenly thought of something: "Wait." ”

Yuan Ruolan turned around in surprise: "Fellow Daoist? ”

Lingyu asked, "Are you from a family, or are you a casual cultivator?" Xu Jibo once said that there are three families around Jackdaw Mountain, namely Xu, Yuan, and Ji, and Changhe City is very close to Jackdaw Mountain, and the family status is not high and there is a lot of life in Changhe City.

Yuan Ruolan hesitated for a moment and said, "I was originally from a family. ”

In other words, now is it not a child of the family?

"Since you are from a family, why do you want to ask others for exercises?"

Yuan Ruolan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to answer." If the Taoist friends don't sell it, the concubine body won't bother. ”

As she turned around, Lingyu said again, "But the Yuan family of Jackdaw Mountain? ”

Yuan Ruolan's body trembled, and her face sank suddenly: "Since you know it, why bother with me!" ”

Ling Yuyi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yuan Ruolan looked at her suspiciously, and seeing that her reaction didn't seem to be fake, Fang said: "Daoist friends really don't know? ”

Lingyu shook her head and said, "I am not interested in any grievances between you and the Yuan family. It's just that since you are a member of the Yuan family, if you can do me a favor, I can use the exercises to reward me. ”

Yuan Ruolan was both happy and suspicious, and quickly restrained her joy, shook her head and said: "Although the concubine was born in the Yuan family, she has no status in the Yuan family, so I am afraid that she will not be able to help her fellow Daoists." ”

Lingyu said: "Yuan Daoyou didn't know what he was going to help yet, and he refused too quickly. ”

"This ......" Yuan Ruolan hesitated, she didn't want to let go of this opportunity, but she was worried about getting into trouble.

Lingyu said again: "If you are interested, let's find a place to talk." If it's unintentional, that's fine. "She doesn't have to look for the Yuan family.

Yuan Ruolan quickly made a decision, and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist, please come with me." ”

Lingyu bowed her head and followed behind Yuan Ruolan. After leaving, she glanced faintly at the corner of the street, flicked her fingers, and erased the traces of Yuan Ruolan.

A moment later, Yuan Ruolan led her into a dilapidated alley and knocked on a door.

The atmosphere between Da Mengze and Lingcang and Xingluo is quite different, and Xiancheng cannot be compared with the other two places at all, the main streets are fine, and the alleys and houses are very simple. This is especially true of this alley, looking at its dilapidated Cheng dù, I am afraid that it has not been repaired for many years.

"Who!" A delicate voice came from inside.

A smile appeared on Yuan Ruolan's face: "Dong'er, it's my mother who is back." ”

Lingyu glanced at it thoughtfully. It seems that Yuan Ruolan is in a very difficult situation, and the prohibition of this house is too simple, and it is a death prohibition, which can only be opened from the inside.

The inside was inhibited, and the door creaked open.

"Mother!" An eleven or twelve-year-old girl saw Yuan Ruolan with a big smile on her face, and then glanced at the Lingyu behind Yuan Ruolan and became nervous, "Mother, this is ......"

Seeing the child, Yuan Ruolan showed a gentle look and comforted: "Don't be afraid, my mother has something to talk about with this Taoist friend." ”

The girl pulled her and whispered, "Didn't my brother say it before he went out?" Don't bring strangers back, why don't you listen? ”

Yuan Ruolan was embarrassed: "It was not easy for my mother to find this Taoist friend, and she was willing to sell the exercises to us......"

The mother and daughter muttered as Lingyu took the opportunity to observe the Burrow. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Burrow, and in the small courtyard, there are piles of bits and pieces, among which there are tools for making talisman paper, which looks like a place for making talisman paper. In the other two rooms, the roof and walls were damaged.

Yuan Ruolan is a seventh-level qi refiner, and this little girl is a third-level qi refining, so they are all monks, and they are so miserable, Lingyu can't help but wonder if it is true that she was going to buy the exercises at a price higher than the price of the store pù one percent.

The mother and daughter over there finally finished discussing, and Yuan Ruolan called: "There are friends who have been waiting for a long time, please come in." ”

Lingyu stepped into the door, Yuan Ruolan took her into a room, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, it's too simple to give up." ”

The inside of the house was also very simple, and there was nothing else but the necessary things for living.

Yuan Ruolan invited her to sit down, and the girl brought tea.

Tea is not a spiritual tea, but an ordinary tea leaf.

Yuan Ruolan saw that she didn't show any displeasure, so she breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the girl over: "This is the little girl Dong'er." ”

The girl named Dong'er was still very wary of her just now, but at this time she saluted obediently: "Dong'er has seen her predecessors. ”

Lingyu smiled slightly, took out a jade buckle, and threw it to her: "Take it and play with it." ”

This jade buckle is probably cut out of the scraps of the refining vessel, and the aura is meager, but the jade color is clear and very beautiful. This kind of waste, which is useless for cultivation, should be Ah Bi's plaything, and I don't know when she was stuffed in the Qiankun bag.

However, for Dong'er, who is from a poor family, this jade buckle is a rare plaything. She was overjoyed at first, then hesitated, and then pushed the jade buckle back: "It's too precious to accept." ”

Lingyu said: "It's just a plaything, it's useless for me to keep it, the little girl just takes it to play." ”

Dong'er looked at Yuan Ruolan and saw her mother nodding, so she happily put it away: "Thank you, senior." ”

Yuan Ruolan looked at Dong'er's smile, and her beautiful face showed a hint of bitterness. (To be continued......)
