Chapter Eighty-Three: A City in the Swamp
After thinking for a while, after roasting this fourth-order demonic beast snake with the second-order samadhi true fire, and eating it to his heart's content, Luo Yun did not hesitate at all, and continued to move forward, he wanted to see what kind of mystery was in it!
In the past ten days, he has practiced his ability to barbecue meat with samadhi real fire, and naturally he has become more and more proficient in the use of samadhi real fire.
Half a month later, the surrounding fog seemed to begin to dissipate a little, and Luo Yun vaguely saw a city.
He was stunned for a moment, and then his figure flashed, Luo Yun came directly to the outside of the city, and saw that there were two martial artists guarding the gate of the city, and there were many other martial artists coming in and out.
The cultivation of these warriors is high and low, but without exception, they are lining up to deliver spirit stones or their prey.
Luo Yun's eyes narrowed, and then he walked over casually, lined up behind these martial artists, and found that the money paid by cultivators in each realm was different, and the higher the cultivation, the more money he paid.
The cultivation of the Martial Master Nine Heavens actually needed to hand over nine hundred lower-grade spirit stones.
And although there was some anger in the eyes of those people, they still honestly handed over things like spirit stones, demonic beasts, and spirit fruits.
"Huh, boy, you're new here, right?" the two martial artists guarding the door looked at Luo Yun who was walking over, and one of them looked at Luo Yun before saying.
Luo Yun nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I escaped from the enemy's pursuit, and I had no choice but to come here!"
The martial artist looked at Luo Yun with some pity, and said, "The rule here is that you need to hand over nine hundred spirit stones or equivalent spirit objects and demonic beast corpses every time you enter and exit once, and your cultivation is still not a big problem here!"
"Thank you!" Luo Yun smiled and took out nine medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to him, and then walked into the city.
The eyes of the two martial artists guarding the door flashed with a little joy, looking at the nine medium-grade spirit stones in their hands, one of them immediately took out nine hundred lower-grade spirit stones from his own spatial ring and put them into the other spatial ring in his hand, medium-grade spirit stones are very rare here, even if one hundred and fifty lower-grade spirit stones are exchanged for a medium-grade spirit stone, no one may be willing to exchange them.
I can't tell how big the city is from the outside, but after the fog is much smaller inside, I find that the city is very lively, and the people here are all cultivated, and a large number of samurai are civilians here.
There are also many martial artists, but Luo Yun did not find the existence of a master.
Don't know where they are!
"What are you doing?" Luo Yun suddenly reached out and grabbed a hand that came from behind, only to realize that it was a teenager, and immediately let go of his hand, "Is there something wrong with you?"
This is a little boy about ten years old, the boy's face looks dirty, he looked at Luo Yun and said, "Big brother, you are new here, right?"
Luo Yun nodded and said, "Yes, are you okay?"
The little boy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Big brother, I have lived here since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this place, I can help you with anything you need!"
Luo Yun laughed, and immediately understood what this little boy was doing.
The little boy thought that Luo Yun didn't need him to lead him, and suddenly said a little anxiously, "It's very cheap for me to lead the way, just two low-grade spirit stones!"
"Okay, tell me about the basic situation here!" Luo Yun was a little amused in his heart, but he didn't refuse, he knew that there was probably no way for such a young child to come out and do this work to lead the way, right? Otherwise, whose parents would be willing to let such a young child come out to make money!
The little boy suddenly said with some excitement, "Big brother, this place is called Fog City, it is the only city within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, there are more than 1.3 million people here, there are more than 100,000 martial artists and more than 100 masters, they are all members of the Fog City Elder Hall!" The boy talked about the Elder Hall with a little fear, a little envy and a little hatred on his face.
Luo Yun smiled and didn't speak.
The boy continued, "Everything in this requires you to work hard to make money, and most of the income comes from samurai and martial artists hunting demonic beasts outside!"
"Even if they don't hunt demonic beasts, they have to pay a spirit stone every month as a tax for them to live here!"
"Spirit stones are very scarce materials here, and I heard them say that the purchasing power of spirit stones here is several times that of the outside, and everyone is reluctant to use them if they have spirit stones. ”
"There is a refining hall and an alchemy hall in the fog city, as long as you can become a member of the refining hall and the alchemy hall, you don't have to worry about life!"
"Really?"
"Yes, yes!"
Later, after the little boy gave a general introduction to the distribution of the entire city, Luo Yun nodded lightly after asking a few questions, and learned a little about this place.
There are not many masters here, not too little, about one hundred and twenty people, they are the undisputed overlords of the whole city, and everyone here is at their service.
Most of the people who lived here were samurai civilians, and there were also descendants of warriors who walked in by mistake before, because the number of people who walked in by mistake and those born here together is not much different from the number of deaths each year, so the population of the entire city has not changed much.
More than a million people need to go out of the city every few days to hunt, hunt some magical beasts, and obtain some spiritual fruits and other things, and the taxes of more than a million of their people support the more than a hundred masters.
Some countries have the form in it, and the taxes in them are not too harsh, ordinary cultivators can only cultivate slowly, and most of them can only make ends meet!
The little boy is the martial artist whose parents inadvertently entered here, but unfortunately his parents died a year ago, leaving only their brother and sister alone, no way, the little boy can only come out to find something to do.
This year, the two siblings have suffered enough.
There are only three restaurants in the whole city, and the three restaurants are all opened by the children or relatives of the masters, and the food is basically all kinds of meat from Warcraft, and fresh goods come up every day.
Luo Yun led the little boy to the Hidden Fog Restaurant among the three restaurants.
The cost of eating here is not low, and it must be consumed with spirit stones, but martial artists are born and die, especially martial artists, they basically have spirit stone income, and many people will come here to consume.
At this time, the restaurant is very lively.
I ordered a few dishes at random, and found that the method here is really simple, but the price is quite expensive, and the cheapest one even needs about a hundred spirit stones.
The little boy looked very excited.
Luo Yun said, "I don't know your name yet!"
The little boy said, "My name is Gong Hao"
"Gong Hao, well, a good name, do you know who opened this restaurant?"
"I know, this restaurant was opened by Sikong Lingtian, the son of the Great Elder Sikong En. ”
"What about the other two?"
"Fengyang Restaurant was opened by Liu Xing, the apprentice of the second elder Duan Zijun, and the Fuyuan Restaurant was opened by Leng Sumei, the daughter of the third elder Leng Tian!"
A playful smile flashed in Luo Yun's eyes, interesting!
"Guest, your dish is here. ”
At this time, the shopkeeper brought the dishes of the two of them.
Luo Yun tasted it, it tasted good, nodded slightly, signaling Gong Hao to eat, Gong Hao looked at the food on the table, and immediately devoured it, eager to swallow his tongue, Luo Yun sighed softly in his heart, and also started to move, he hasn't eaten well for more than a year, right?
Seeing that the boy who hadn't eaten much had stopped his chopsticks, Luo Yun could see that he hadn't eaten yet, and said with some curiosity, "Why don't you eat it?"
Gong Hao looked at the rest of the things and swallowed his saliva, and said cautiously, "Can I bring these back?"
Luo Yun suddenly laughed, gently touched Gong Hao's head, and said, "You eat first, I'll ask them to do it, and bring it back to your sister!"
"Thank you, big brother!" Gong Hao's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
After the meal, taking the food packed from the restaurant, Luo Yun and Gong Hao walked around the city for a full hour before they came to a small courtyard.
This is where Gong Hao and his sister live.
Listening to Gong Hao, it turned out that the yard of their brother and sister was much larger than this, but unfortunately, with the death of the parents of the two brothers and sisters, their original yard was taken back, fortunately, their parents also made some friends and helped their brother and sister apply for this yard, and it was also because of the care of friends that the two brothers and sisters did not starve to death.
As soon as Gong Hao walked into the courtyard, he shouted, "Sister, sister, come out quickly, see what I brought you back!"
A slightly thin little girl quickly ran out of the house, the girl looked only about six or seven years old, giving people a very quiet feeling.
There was a feeling of being out of place with the environment she was in.
Luo Yun sighed softly, but didn't say anything, there are more poor people in the world, and he can't manage it.
"Brother" The girl looked at Luo Yun, and then called Gong Hao a little timidly.
Gong Hao said, "Sister, this is the eldest brother I met outside today, and the eldest brother also accidentally walked in by himself, and the eldest brother will live with us in the future!"
The little girl said timidly, "Then where do we live?"
Gong Hao said, "Let's live here, it's okay!" He lifted the food in his hand and said, "This is the eldest brother invited us, sister, you can eat quickly!"
The little girl turned to the food in Gong Hao's hand, smelled the aroma inside, and her little belly suddenly growled, Luo Yun looked at the flush that flashed on the girl's face, sighed in her heart, and then said softly, "Little sister, don't worry, the big brother will take care of you in the future!"
"Thank you, big brother!" the little girl's bright eyes flashed with hope.
Gong Hao led Luo Yun into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Luo Yun understood why the little girl was a little reluctant when she heard that Luo Yun also lived here, it turned out that there was only a table and a bed here.
