Chapter 372: On the way to Luan Mountain
Xue Tong has practiced in the human world for 500 years, and the spiritual world may take 5,000 years, so there is no reason to be in a hurry.
The size of Chen Liu's is amazing, and the royal capitals of the countries of the human world have never been so vast.
The monks' residences are as few as a few acres, and as many as thousands, and Chen has left millions of people to cultivate, and the mansions are lined up, and the traffic is busy, even in the middle of the night, there are not many lively places.
Xue Tong walked around for a long time and went to a few intermediary shops for rent and sale.
The shop with good business is full of people coming in and out, and the guys are too busy to receive them.
In the late stage of his congenital life, he was indifferent to the cultivators, and he was not treated preferentially.
Xue Tong noticed the deserted shop at the end of the street.
The store is small, and there are only two grandchildren in the shop.
The granddaughter is in her early twenties, mediocre in appearance, thin and thin, and mid-day in the day after tomorrow.
The old man is at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and his back is hunched badly.
Dozens of rental and sales information were posted in the store, and some low-end rune paper and ink and qi refining pills were placed in the container.
"Business is poor, shopkeeper or be patient." Xue Tong pondered.
He didn't actually plan to buy a garden, he just wanted to take the opportunity to ask.
The white tiger needs a lot of space to move, and the roar often spreads out for hundreds of miles, it is really inconvenient to live in the city, and it is not a good strategy to dig deep into the underground palace.
Xue Tong read the information posted and asked, "These gardens are either too small or too remote, are there any others?"
"The beasts are all here, and this eighty-acre garden is actually not biased." The little girl took out the sample and said.
"It's too far east, it's not biased."
Buying a garden is indispensable to ask the local people, Xue Tong claimed that he was the first to stay in Chenliu, and took the opportunity to ask various questions.
Ask questions and get a lot of information!
Luzhou has never been peaceful, and Chen Liu has no actual ruler, although it is the edge of the martial saint Fan Yan's power, but the last time Fan Yan came was more than two hundred years ago.
Fan Sheng's ruling lines are rough, and he rarely comes forward unless there is an invasion of foreign races or a major sect merger.
It is based on Chenliu and even the southeast of Luzhou, almost all of which rely on the autonomy of the rules prevailing in the Xuan Realm.
Chen Liu's forces are mixed, and murders are frequent, but even if there is such a chaos, it is far safer than in the wilderness.
You can't kill people indiscriminately in the city, and there will be lawlessness in the wilderness, and no one will take care of it.
There is another advantage in the city: you are not allowed to trespass on the mansion, and it is a big deal to hide in the house to avoid trouble.
Therefore, the cities and provinces of Luzhou have a very large population, with one million in Chenliu Mansion, eight million in Ningyang and Jingzhan and other cities, and as high as 30 million in Hedu and Mindu at a higher level.
The territory of the sect outside the city is vast, but the loss of the sect is quite high, and if you are not careful when collecting resources, you will be killed for money.
"So the monks in the city basically rely on planting, and the magic weapons basically rely on the circulation between the living and the dead?" Xue Tong guessed.
"Well, otherwise, where would there be so many elixirs and refining materials."
"What about the monsters?"
"It can only be hunted and killed in the wild, so the resources of Luzhou demon beasts are the most expensive." The little girl said.
Only then did Xue Tong notice that the price of the rune paper and rune ink in the shop was twice as high as that of the human world.
"What sects are there outside the city?" Xue Tong asked.
"Liushan Sect, Shadow Moon Sect..."
"Grandpa, what else?" The little girl asked about her grandfather.
"There are seven or eight small sects in Qingyufang, all of which survive under the protection of the two sects, and they are weak. Further west, there seems to be a large sect called Xuanjingmen. ”
"The east of the Liushan Sect and the west of the Shadow Moon Sect do not disturb each other, but only intersect in the city." The old man said hoarsely.
"There are no sects in these mountains in the city?" Xue Tong asked, pointing to the map.
"Jishan is a place for major activities, and the rest are all high-level mansions, with 10,000 acres of residential land around the mountain."
Let's talk for half an hour.
Xue Tong pondered: "It's not appropriate to wander in the suburbs, and it's not appropriate to occupy barren mountains and dig holes, so let's live in Chenliu Mansion first." ”
He rented an eighty-acre garden, and the underground palace was just enough for the white tiger to wander around.
The little girl's big business didn't succeed, but it didn't work in vain.
……
Xue Tong groped in the city for a month and basically figured out the current situation of Chen Liu.
The two sects of Liushan Shadow Moon and the forces of the four heavenly people in the city are intertwined, and there is friction from time to time, and there are only a lot of battles between middle and low-level monks.
Fortunately, Xue Tong didn't need to be mixed, he had enough elixir, enough to refine the three turns of the Fahai.
He never thought that an auction after October would loosen his mind.
Chen Liufu has several auctions every month, and Xue Tong went to the Shadow Moon Sect's field, one is to distract one, and the other is to find strange poison powder venom.
There is no limit to the power of the sect of the entrants, and they start from the beginning.
Xue Tong bought a ticket and sat in the back row.
His Fahai spiritual pressure is restricted, and his eyesight and hearing are at the level of the middle stage of heaven and man.
Quickly noticed the semi-enclosed seat in the front row, and the three innate high-level people were talking about it.
Perhaps because they were too excited, the three of them did not all speak in the form of sound transmission, and were overheard by Xue Tong.
"The six masters of the Tengjiao Gang are dead, and the debts owed cannot be recovered, so they are really fed to the dogs!"
"The man surnamed Ma died, why can't the debt be recovered? I have the impression that the five masters have also done the guarantee. ”
"Don't mention the shit surnamed Ge, saying that the cause of death is unknown, and he needs to be found out before he can pay back, can this matter be investigated? The surname Ma went to Luanshan, where he obviously died, and his bones were gone. ”
"What's wrong with Luanshan, I've been hearing that someone died there recently."
"What else can it be, there were originally few people, the two sects didn't care, or because there were too many people going, it attracted Shadow Moon and Xuanjing to ambush, so that those people had no return."
Another person interjected: "I heard that this is not the case, Luanshan seems to have more resources than before, and people who go can get more or less, but the number of people who have died has increased dramatically in the past year." ”
"You mean there is a special change in Luanshan?"
"I can't say it, what? You want to go too?"
"Go to a ghost, either there will be a change, or someone will set up a situation, and I still have to collect debts."
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Xue Tong's mind loosened...
A few days later, on the dirt road to Luang Mountain, a camel was hurrying on its way.
Xue Tong's original mount was at the end of his life in the human world, and he bought the new camel in Chenliu.
He was in the middle stage of his cultivation as a grandmaster, and Xue Tong felt that it was appropriate to go out at this level.
The dirt road is narrow, just enough for a single runner.
The left and right are wilderness, and there is no one in front of or behind.
Long away from the main road.
Luan Mountain is the collective name of a large mountainous area, located between the two sects of Shadow Moon and Xuanjing.
The monks of the two sects were jealous of each other, and Luanshan became a paradise for the bold monks of Chen Liu, and some people traveled 6,000 miles to go there.
……
The sound of the beast's hooves behind him.
Xue Tong got out of the way of the dirt road, and the camel stopped a few feet outside the road.
A group of six people, riding beasts from far and near.
"Phew~"
The monk at the front of him stared at Xue Tong under the tree.
The monk is fifty years old, the same level as Xue Tong, with eagle eyes and sword eyebrows, a slightly thin figure, and a dark shirt.
Behind him, there were three men and two women, all of whom were early and middle stage grandmasters, and the six of them were dressed as if they were from two gangs.
Xue Tong arched his hand and did not speak.
"Where did you come from?" The thin monk asked.
"Ningyang people, I wanted to go to Chenliu, I heard that Luanshan is good, so I took a detour to take a look." Xue Tong said.
The six looked at each other, two of them sneering at each other.
The thin Sect Master shook his head, "Daoist friends are not small, they dare to rush alone, if I were you, I would choose a wilderness where no one is there to hide from people." ”
"Is it so dangerous?" Xue Tong had a panicked expression.
"Count your luck, if you meet the six of me, you won't be able to share much from robbing you, and you will be bloodied in vain... Friends look down!" The sneering man said.
The thin Sect Master rolled his eyes, "If you want to go differently, we will also go to Luanshan, whether it is more than one person, the spiritual objects will be shared with you." ”
"Oh, thank you for your care, what about the other fellow Daoists?" Xue Tong asked.
The two women were the first to nod, and the other three did not object.
The six people are Chen Liu's monks, who belong to the Blood Harrier Society and Bahu Village.
Nguyen Mu Trong, who led the group, only revealed this information.
Xue Tong asked incomprehensibly, "Do the six Dao Masters go to Luanshan together, do you have a goal?"
Ruan Muzhong was too lazy to take care of it.
"Don't be verbose, just follow along." Shi Chun, the strong man of Bahu Village, reprimanded.
"Oh," Xue Tong muttered awkwardly.
……
"It was getting dark, just rest for the night in the valley ahead.
"It's close to the Shadow Moon Sect, everyone be careful." Ruan Muzhong pulled the reins, and the horse beast rushed down the dirt road.
The valley rested, and Xue Tong sat in the outermost position.
Midnight.
The white-faced Grandmaster in the team asked Xue Tong, "Xue Daoyou, you are from Ningyang, how is the situation?"
This question is extremely difficult to answer, if the white-faced grandmaster is from Ningyang, Xue may be exposed if he talks too much and too little.
"Ningyang is too chaotic, the poor Dao really can't bear it anymore, so I plan to go to Chen Liu, if there are not so many killings, maybe I will be a Chen Liuren from now on, and I will need to take care of you at that time."
Xue Tong diverted the topic and talked about caring for things.
"Oh, how chaotic is Ningyang?" The white-faced Grandmaster continued.
"Yan and Deng are evil to each other, and the people below are addicted to killing, and Xue didn't dare to go out for ten days and a half months." Xue Tong had some understanding of Ningyang's affairs, which came in handy.
He suddenly frowned slightly.
"On the other side of the valley, someone is approaching!" Xue Tongxin said.
But it is clear that there is no warning.
"Where does Xue Dao live in Ningyang, Poor Dao has been in Ningyang... After a few years. The white-faced Grandmaster asked endlessly.
"Hehe, West Twelfth District, the Taoist chief won't happen to live there." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"Shhhh
Nguyen Mu Trong finally gave a warning and ended the conversation between the two.
……
To the north of the valley, the jade boat flew rapidly at low altitude.
Daring to fly in a big way, the first thing Xue Tong thought of was the people of the Shadow Moon Sect.
"Where did you come from?"
Six people jumped off the boat, and they were the first grandmasters, the other two grandmasters were in the middle stage, and three were congenital.
Shadowmoon Sect's patrols!
"Daoist Qiqi, we are Monk Chenliu, you are temporarily resting outside your sect's territory, I don't want to alarm the Daoist, forgive my sins!" Ruan Muzhong was polite and reminded the people of the Shadow Moon Sect.
"Oh"
Shadow Moon Grandmaster's cold gaze swept across everyone's faces, "Who knows if you are poaching in my sect's territory!"
"Nothing, everything!"
Ruan Muzhong didn't make any further defenses, and Zhihai flashed a thought: "Do you want to do it?"
The strength of the two sides is similar, and it usually does not cause a bloody case, Ruan Muzhong didn't expect the Shadow Moon people to refuse to give up.
Shadow Moon Grandmaster's gaze swept again.
Xue Tong's face changed slightly, pretending to be flustered and turning his head to avoid it.
The Shadow Moon Man laughed suddenly, "Not necessarily!"
Stretched out his hand and grabbed Shi Chun's wrist!
Xue Tong's heart was stunned, and he realized that what was in front of him was by no means as simple as it seemed!
