Chapter 180: Fengyue Tower
I am now wearing a black Heavenly Master robe, with my hair tied in a bun on my head, and I really look like a person from ancient times.
In order to make myself look more immortal, I took out the robbery sword and hung it on my waist, and I met a lot of people all the way north, some poor and some rich, dressed differently, but they didn't show any surprise when they saw me, I asked some of them to know that there are cultivators in this world, which is usually called demon cultivation in the world.
People dressed like me are basically cultivators, and ordinary people generally don't provoke cultivators because they can't afford the anger brought by cultivators.
I have been walking north along the official road for five or six days, because the cultivation of the Star Forging is now that I can do Bigu for a month, and the demonic energy here will also be absorbed and refined by the power of the Black Heavenly Master in my body, I can feel that even if I sweat too much, I will not be tired, but I am also a mortal who has been doing it for more than 20 years, and some habits naturally cannot be changed.
For example, the sunrise and sunset, along the way also passed through some small towns, I also through some means to obtain the necessary currency to survive here, the people here use gold, silver, copper and iron, the most valuable is of course gold, followed by silver, copper coins and iron knife coins.
There is also a lot of gold and silver stored in the Linglong Pagoda, but the degree of purity is much better than here, of course I am reluctant to take it out and spend it casually, so I just took out some low-grade pills and pearls and gems and exchanged them for quite gold.
The people here all have a pair of new red eyes, which are similar to what Kuroko looks.
Since entering the Demon Realm, my own eyes have also turned new red, and Kuroko told me that this is a trick he has performed, but at the same time, I am also absorbing demonic energy, and my body naturally looks like a person from the Demon Realm.
On this day, I was hurrying on the official road, and I saw that there was still a short distance to reach the outer city of the capital, and I could see the huge city gate standing there.
Above and below the city gate were well-armed demon soldiers, who stood there indifferently with weapons in hand, ready to capture those who were not from the demon realm.
I stood on a mountain peak in the distance and opened the eye of heaven to observe, these people who entered the city gate basically had to pay some silver to enter it smoothly, and the demon soldiers in charge of letting them go would probe their bodies, but not with their hands but with their breath.
It's the first time I've seen such a tight defense for so long, and I've also met some cultivators on the way over, and even cultivators who have smuggled in from other worlds, including many powerful and demon clans, and the capital is guarded so tightly to prevent those cultivators who have smuggled over from making trouble in it.
My current strength is basically the scum of the scum in the eyes of the cultivators of this world, everyone is stepping into the air or flying with the sword, and I am the only one who walks step by step with my feet up, but that is my deliberate concealment of strength, so it will make them think that I should be a novice who has just stepped into cultivation.
Since I broke through to the early stage of the realm, I have been able to control the power of heaven and earth, and the small flying of Edgeworth is actually not a problem, not to mention that I can also perform the Dancing Technique.
How can Edgeworth's flight be as time-saving and fast as the Dancing Technique, the reason why I am hiking is only so that I can understand the specific situation of the Demon Realm in detail, and only then can I think about where to develop my power.
I bought the plate map of the Demon Realm from a small town before, and I roughly delineated the direction, the Demon Realm is composed of five continents, and now the jurisdiction of the capital I am in, this continent is the central continent, and it is also a transportation link to other continents.
The Dutian Demon Emperor sits in the capital temple and controls the upper three continents, and the lower two continents also have a manager
, this manager is called the empress, and this name should be a female devil.
The Empress and the Dutian Demon Emperor were originally a pair of brothers and sisters, but because of disagreement, they finally turned against each other, and the specific reason seemed to be related to attacking the rest of the worlds.
I will go to the capital to check the situation first, and then go to the next two continents, because the empress is the one who advocates peace and does not want to invade other worlds, as long as she can get the help of the empress or establish her own power in the next two continents, she will have the ability to compete with the Dutian Demon Emperor.
In addition, my main goal in coming to the capital is to get the magic body, and Kuroko said that as long as I fuse this magic body, my strength will be able to achieve the level of fusion with his power, so even if it is dangerous, I have to give it a try.
After making up my mind, I stopped walking towards the city gate, and I swaggered to the city gate.
"Stop! Who are you and what are you going to the capital? "A demon soldier commander directly stopped me and asked.
With a smile on my face, I had already taken out two gold bars in my hand and stuffed them into the commander's hand and said: "Master Jun, the little one is just a casual cultivator, and he came to the capital in exchange for some high-level magic weapons. ”
Seeing that I was so knowledgeable, the little commander smiled and weighed the two gold bars in his hand and said: "It turned out to be a casual cultivation, then it's okay, there are many shops selling magic weapons in the capital, but the price of the shop on the street in the east of the city may be a little cheaper, and it is actually not easy to practice penance like yours." ”
I smiled and nodded and said, "What the military master said is yes, I came from Taoyuan Village, five hundred miles away from here, and I also met many monks like me along the way, but their strength is much stronger than that of Zaixia, I know that the military master must be superior in strength, and he will definitely be able to make great contributions to the holy city in the future." ”
The leader looked very happy when he heard my compliments, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Well said, well, you can go in, and the brothers won't stop you." ”
Naturally, I hurriedly thanked me and walked directly into the city gate, with this little commander, the demon soldiers who were checked in the back were directly released to me, and I saved a lot of money when I arrived.
Everyone in this world is willing to listen to good words, just take the little commander just now, when he heard me praise me like this, he will naturally let down his guard against me, so sometimes he is eloquent, and many things will be solved very easily.
After entering the capital, of course, I chose to wander around, although this is the outer city and there is still some distance from the inner city, but it is also very important to collect intelligence here, first of all, I have to figure out the specific location of the temple in the inner city, and then what are the precautions around the magic pool, only when I get accurate information can I make the next action plan.
Often if you want to get information, you have to go to the place with the most people, it seems that the largest flow of people should be Fengyue Building, this store comes and goes all men, and all the women standing at the door are like flowers and jade, there are extremely exposed and demonic clothes, you can think of this with your toes It should be the legendary Qinglou, in bad words, it is a brothel.
I've seen brothels in TV dramas or books, but I haven't seen them in reality, although the news often reports where and where a prostitution den has been destroyed, but in the twenty years I have lived in the world, I basically haven't delved into this matter, and I didn't expect that I would now actually enter this legendary place of Fengyue to find out the news.
I was a little funny in my heart, but in order to get accurate information as soon as possible, I walked directly towards Fengyue Tower, and four bewitching women who looked pretty good came up to greet me.
They either took my hand or touched my breasts, and I felt that something was wrong, and finally I forced myself through the door.
"Yo, is this Taoist master coming to our Fengyue Mansion to drink or have fun?" As soon as I walked through the door, a middle-aged woman came up to me with her waist twisted and talked to me.
As soon as I saw him, I knew it was the owner of this shop, and then I smiled and said, "Lady, I don't know what you have to do in this shop." ”
As I spoke, I took out a gold bar from my hand and put it in the hand of the proprietress, who immediately smiled when she saw that I was so generous.
"Don't hide it from Daoye, a few women have come to our store during this time, they are all beautiful, and they are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as Daoye says a word, I will immediately prepare a room for you, but these women are only selling their arts, not their bodies!" Don't laugh, lady, as she said to me.
I looked around and said, "Then you can look at the arrangement, just find me a separate room and two jugs of fine wine." ”
As I spoke, I took out another gold bar and handed it to the proprietress, who saw that the gold bar's eyes were almost straight, and she hurriedly welcomed me to a quiet empty room on the second floor.
"Master Dao, please wait a minute, the girls will come right away." The proprietress said with a smile, and picked up the glass and poured me a glass of wine.
I took the wine glass and put it in front of my nose, sniffed it gently, and felt the aroma in my nose, and then slowly took a small sip and felt that the wine tasted wonderful, spicy and sweet, and there was no burning sensation in the stomach, but a cool feeling.
"Not bad." I said.
The proprietress pointed to the wine pot and said: "Dao Ye is really a connoisseur of drinking, this wine is our store's unique sweet spring brew, and only I can make such a good wine here within a radius of 100 miles. ”
I nodded and told her to step down, and after a while four masked women in white plain dresses walked in with various things.
One was holding a guqin in his hand, the other was holding a pipe of dong flute in his hand, because he was holding the four treasures of the study in his hand, and the other came empty-handed. On their white dresses, they were embroidered with plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums, although they were masked, I could feel that the thinking woman in front of them must be the national color and fragrance.
They walked straight up to me, bowed to me, and then went about their work, obviously these are the women who only sell their arts and don't sell their bodies just now.
Watching them start to perform, I also raised my glass to admire everything in front of me, the woman playing the piano plucked her hands on the piano, playing a beautiful fairy music, accompanied by the melodious sound of the dong flute, suddenly giving people a feeling of stepping into a fairyland.
The woman who came empty-handed danced to the ensemble of the piano and flute, and her graceful figure and delicate steps were pleasing to the eye.
And the woman holding the four treasures of the study room did it in front of me and began to paint, only to see her use a brush dipped in ink and sketch back and forth on the rice paper.
After a while, a picture of the spring mountain smoke and rain was presented in front of me, Xiao Qiao was flowing water, the farmer's cooking smoke was curling, and the small village that had just rained passed through the sun and the mist rose like a fairyland, and a sense of peace and tranquility directly came to my mind.
To be honest, I have never experienced such a life, let alone presented in such a form.
The ensemble of the piano and flute slowly ended, and the dancing woman also slowly stopped with the ensemble, and the woman who painted the painting at the moment when the cooperation stopped, also completed the last stroke, and everything seemed to be done in one go.
I raised my hands and applauded and said, "Pingdao Li Jiujin has seen four fairies, and the performance of the four fairies is really an eye-opener for Pingdao. ”
