Chapter 255: Ambush
The scale of this teahouse is not small, there are four floors in total, the decoration is luxurious, and it is elegant and refined, but it is very in line with the taste of the public monks.
Before Changxing entered the teahouse, he had already greeted a young man from the teahouse.
This young man looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a third-level cultivation of qi refining, a pair of slightly childish eyes, and a smile like a crescent moon, which made people feel good about it.
The young man hurriedly rushed to Changxing to greet him, and bowed down with a smile: "Fairy, what do you drink?
Changxing nodded slightly, and walked into the lobby, the environment in the hall was good, but there were only a few tables scattered around, and the guests at these tables were only low-level monks in the Qi refining period, and they all looked over when they saw Changxing coming in.
This scene was very inconsistent with the pattern of the entire teahouse, and Changxing couldn't help but pause suspiciously.
The young man smiled and asked, "Fairy, you are new to the East China Sea, right?"
Without waiting for Changxing to speak, the young man continued: "Fairy, don't you know, in our East China Sea, if the gap between the monks' cultivation is too big, there will generally be no intersection, so there is an unwritten rule in the East China Sea, teahouses, wine shops, auction houses and other places have four floors, the first floor is for Qi refining monks, the second floor is for foundation building monks, the third floor is Jindan monks, and if you can go up to the fourth floor, you are naturally Yuanying monks......"
No wonder I walked two streets just now, and many of the shops I saw were four-storey, and I thought it was the architectural feature here, but I didn't expect there to be such an unwritten rule.
"In that case, then I will go up. Changxing smiled and nodded, signaling the young man to lead the way.
went up to the second floor, which was almost full, Changxing chose a table near the window and sat down, and then said, "Give me two or three kinds of special spiritual tea and spiritual fruits that you have here." ”
"All right!" the young man replied cheerfully, turning and going downstairs.
Changxing looked out the window and listened to the tables around her, but even though Changxing had mobilized her five senses and six senses to the maximum, she could only hear a "buzzing" sound, and those words came into her ears, as if they had all changed their tune, and she couldn't hear them clearly.
Changxing retracted his gaze and said secretly: It seems that every table on the second floor has an enchantment to prevent others from snooping, this is not an ordinary trick.
Enchantment, in fact, is a simplified version of the formation, Changxing has been studying the formation diagram in the past few days, and there is a mention of the isolation array, and this kind of enchantment in the teahouse is actually a simplified isolation array.
Changxing gathered the spiritual power into her eyes and ears, while recalling several changes in the isolation array, as well as the dismantling techniques, and proceeded step by step, when she completed all the movements, there was an instant sound of normal conversation in her ears, and the place where her eyes could see was also clear and clear.
Changxing raised his eyebrows a little complacently, and listened to the conversation of the surrounding monks without moving, and when he didn't listen much, he found that most of the conversations of the people around him revolved around two themes: one was the list of 100 people in the Flying Immortal City Grand Ceremony, and the other was that a secret realm called 'Illusory Sea Realm' was about to open.
Changxing was not interested in the Hundred Rankings, and only focused on the monks who talked about the 'Illusory Sea Realm'.
'Phantom Sea Realm' is the most dangerous secret realm in the East China Sea.
Open once every thirty years, there are countless kinds of rare treasures in it, and these rare treasures are of high grade and value, for the high-level monks of Jindan and Yuan infancy, they are very cherished, and there are many real examples in the East China Sea, many monks who were originally hopeless to advance, or who cultivated to be mediocre, because they got the treasures in the 'Phantom Sea Realm', so that their cultivation increased greatly and ranked among the forefront.
However, high returns are often accompanied by high risks, the situation in the 'Phantom Sea Realm' is complex and dangerous, but the 'Phantom Sea Realm' has cultivation restrictions, and only monks in the foundation building period can enter, according to the monks who have been there, there are some places in the realm that are completely beyond the ability of the foundation building monks, so every time a monk enters the Phantom Sea Realm, the people who can come out alive are only fifty percent at most.
The high risk has curbed the majority of monks' longing for the 'Illusory Sea Realm', and the number of monks entering each time has become smaller and fewer, so every time before the 'Illusory Sea Realm' opens, the major forces will openly recruit people to attract the disciples of the foundation to sign up with generous rewards.
Changxing had a strong interest in this 'Phantom Sea Realm', and was about to continue listening, but saw a strong man at the table next to him, took out a picture album, pointed to one of the pages and said to the same table: "This time the list of 100 people, this Meng Zichen is very powerful, only the cultivation of the fifth layer of the foundation, but there is no defeat, and even the flood of the Thousand Demon Sect has been destroyed by her! It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, it's a pity!"
What the person next to her said, Changxing didn't pay attention at all, she had clearly seen that on the album, her portrait was lifelike, and then looked around, but on the table where she talked about the list of 100 people, there was almost such a picture album.
Changxing frowned, he really didn't expect that the 100-person list was so hot in the East China Sea, far away from Feixian City.
The young man had already brought a tray up, and put the cups on the table one by one, Changxing saw that it was a four-colored snack, two spirit fruits, a pot of spirit tea, and a light crimson spirit wine.
Seeing that Changxing didn't mean to taste it, the young man pointed to the light crimson spirit wine and said, "Fairy taste this rouge drunk, it's the most famous spirit wine in our teahouse!"
Changxing picked up the cup and looked at it carefully, before he looked up with a smile and said, "Isn't this a teahouse?
"Since ancient times, there has been no separation of wine!" the young man smiled honestly and sincerely: "The teahouse and the restaurant in the East China Sea have always been indistinguishable, so let's try it! ”
"Oh?" Changxing picked up the cup, lowered his head and took a sip, only after a moment did he raise his head, nodded with a smile, and said, "Sure enough!"
The young man spared no effort to sell a few other colors of dim sum, Changxing picked up a piece at random, but put it down, and said as if unintentionally: "After I entered the city, I heard many people mention the 'Illusory Sea Realm', can you tell me about it?"
"Is the fairy going to the Illusory Sea Realm?" the young man seemed very excited, and stopped selling food, and began to talk endlessly.
Changxing listened carefully, and what she said was similar to what she heard, but the young man spoke more comprehensively, talking about the distribution of local forces in the East China Sea.
It turns out that the East China Sea is not simply the name of a sea area, but starts from Xilin City, encompasses several large immortal cultivation cities to the east, and then enters the sea, passing through the Wuxiang Sea, the Han Sea, and the Eclipse Sea, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and there are a total of 72 islands in these sea areas.
The East China Sea is not the only Li family, the Xiuzhen family, but the Li family is the most powerful, so when the outside world mentions the East China Sea, the Li family will first come to mind. In addition to the Li family, there are also the Ji family, the Yu family, the Hua family, and the slightly inferior family, and then there are more than a dozen medium-sized immortal cultivation families, most of the power of these families is distributed on the seventy-two islands, and the 'Illusory Sea Realm' is located in the farthest part of the land in the eclipse sea.
After listening to them one by one, Changxing asked again, "I don't know what the requirements are for going to the 'Illusory Sea Realm'?"
"Fairy wants to go to the Illusory Sea Realm?" the young man muttered slightly, "You are a foreign monk, and you need the token of the local forces in the East China Sea to sign up." ”
"Oh, that's it?" Changxing was a little lacking in interest: "It's too troublesome, then I'm still not going." ”
"Fairy, I have a friend, he has this token, but ......" the young man said, hesitantly, looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Fairy, let's tell you the truth, the little one's name is Xiao Liuzi, and the little brother is a peripheral disciple of the Li family, and he has a token in his hand, but he ...... This can't be put on the surface, it has to be ......," Xiao Liuzi said, gesturing with a secret transaction.
Changxing expressed his understanding, and also asked in a low voice, "How many spirit stones do you want, and where can you trade them?"
"Lingshi said, if you trade, you have to wait for a while, and the small one will be able to finish work in two quarters of an hour, and then bring the fairy over." Xiao Liuzi said as he secretly observed Changxing's expression.
"Good. Changxing nodded, picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth.
"Okay, fairy, sit down for a while!" Maybe it was about to be a business, and Xiao Liuzi had a smile on his face even more.
As soon as Xiao Liuzi left, Changxing spit out the pastries in his mouth, picked up all the other pastries, put them on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, his brows gradually frowned, and then quietly put a few pastries into the storage bag.
All the pastries and drinks on the table were mixed with things, although the dose was very light, but Changxing was keenly aware of it, although he didn't know what it was, but it was certain that it should be a medicine that made the spiritual power collapse.
Changxing's eyes narrowed slightly: Is this Xiao Liuzi's personal doing? Or is this teahouse a black shop?
Looking at the full house of guests around him, Changxing ruled out the second conjecture, but why did Xiao Liuzi calculate himself? The corners of Changxing's mouth were slightly raised, and the answer was only to wait for Xiao Liuzi to reveal himself.
After waiting for a while, Changxing saw that downstairs, Xiao Liuzi was already standing on the side of the road, gesturing to her, Changxing got up and paid the spirit stone, and went downstairs leisurely.
Follow Xiao Liuzi all the way through the streets and alleys, gradually away from the bustling business district, into a slightly remote alley, the alley is full of houses with independent courtyards, the door is closed, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.
"Haven't you arrived yet?" said Changxing's face with impatience.
"It's coming! It's coming!" Xiao Liuzi hurriedly replied, his movements speeding up, and he disappeared at the mouth of the alley.
At the same time, the top of the alley suddenly covered a large net, Changxing had already prepared, the golden knife in his hand suddenly threw upward, cut to the big net, the big net was like paper paste, and a big hole was cut in an instant, Changxing's figure jumped out of the big net with the golden knife, looked at the ground condescendingly, and the golden knife and fire knife in his hand shot almost at the same time, towards two different places in the alley, and quickly stabbed down.
