Chapter 64: The Ceremony of Change
For Zhang Liang's surprise, Sun Yi'an was a little puzzled, could it be that what kind of prison change ceremony is it, what is a very important event?
"Oops! This matter is a long story, Brother Sun Yan, do you have a place to stay in this city? I think it's getting dark, so let's find a place to stay, and I'll tell you about it! ”
Zhang Liang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly opened the topic.
Sun Yi'an was slightly stunned, and then understood this person's plan, and really despised this person in his heart.
This kid just borrowed his spirit stone to enter the city, and at the moment he was obviously penniless and couldn't find a place to stay, so he said what to find a place to talk.
As the super imperial capital that nominally rules over hundreds of millions of subjects, Qianlong City naturally has a curfew.
At the end of the night, unless you are a monk or above, no mortal or monk is allowed to go out, and can only move around in your own residential territory.
Wanxian Mountain.
This mountain is located in the westernmost part of Qianlong City, full of spiritual energy throughout the year, and the scenery is picturesque in all four seasons, and it is a place for monks to live and practice.
This mountain is jointly controlled by the four high-level of Buddha, demon, Tao and demon, and there is a very large gathering array on it, and nearly 10,000 large and small cultivation mansions of various styles are built for monks who come to this city to rent and settle down.
Depending on the distribution of aura, the rental price of each mansion also varies greatly. The higher you go, the more abundant your spiritual power, and the higher the corresponding rental price.
When Sun Yi'an and Zhang Liang arrived here, it was already dark.
Under the greeting of a middle-aged monk who looked like a shopkeeper in the early stage of Qi cultivation, Sun Yi'an paid a full 300 spirit stones to rent a mansion with not very strong spiritual energy halfway up this mountain, and he only lived for one year.
"Hehe~ This is the forbidden jade talisman of the C16 Immortal Mansion, and at the same time, this talisman also records the rules of our Hidden Dragon City and the matters that need to be paid attention to, two Taoist friends, please do it!"
The middle-aged man who looked like the shopkeeper quickly completed the formalities and handed a jade talisman to Sun Yi'an.
The five hundred spirit stones that were looted from the five demon cultivators at the beginning were removed at once, which really made Sun Yi'an's flesh hurt for a while.
He thought it was funny, but he was a little helpless. Since he officially entered the cultivation world, it seems that all his net worth has been obtained from killing people and making more money. But the cultivation world is extremely dangerous, and if he is not careful, he may die, if he is not forced to do it, he does not want to do such a thing as killing people and grabbing treasures.
"It seems that if you want to settle here for a long time, you have to find a way to make money as soon as possible!"
Sun Yi'an thought to himself.
After a short time, the two of them followed the guidance of the information left by the jade talisman and came to the mansion numbered C16.
Although the aura here is stronger than the T-shaped mansion at the bottom, it is not very strong. However, the building is also antique and very clean.
"I said Brother Sun, I think it's better to spend another three hundred spirit stones to rent a B-shaped mansion, that aura is much stronger than this C-number!"
Sun Yi'an didn't say anything, but Zhang Liang looked at the mansion in front of him with disgust and said dissatisfied.
"Hmm...... I think it's the same, it's better for Brother Zhang to take out another three hundred spirit stones, and I'll go and change to a B number! ”
Sun Yi'an stretched out his hand and said angrily.
"Ahem, I was just joking just now, anyway, we are both Qi refining stage cultivators, it's useless to ask for so much aura, I think this one is very good, very good...... Hurry up and go in, I'll tell Brother Sun about the change of office of the prison country......"
Zhang Liang's tone was choked, and he rubbed his hands awkwardly to change the topic.
Sun Yi'an held the jade talisman in his hand for a while, and the formation covering this mansion rippled and swayed, and the two of them dodged into the courtyard.
Two hours later.
Sun Yi'an unceremoniously sent Zhang Liang, who was still unsatisfied, to the side hall, took out a set of formation flags and laid down the forbidden formation, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began to think about the news he got from Zhang Liang's mouth.
Although this Zhang Liang did not disclose the information of his sect, he was obviously not deeply involved in the world, and under Sun Yi'an's side knocks, it was easy to judge that this person was definitely from a certain big sect, and his status was not low, and he was likely to be a core disciple.
In the end, it came out of the big sect, although he couldn't cultivate it, he had much more secret information than Sun Yi'an learned along the way.
Sun Yi'an learned from this mouth that the war between good and demons, which had lasted for thousands of years in the territory of Yueguo, was not at all as simple as the battle between good and evil that he had learned before, but had a lot to do with the two major systems competing for believers' incense.
According to this person, the root of this Buddha and Demon War turned out to be the dispute between the two Yuan Infant Old Demons within the Demon Cultivation for some reason, and because of this, several sects in the Demon Cultivation, under the instruction of one of the Yuan Infant Old Demons, crossed the Jinyang Mountain Range and went south into the territory of Jiang Country, as if they were looking for something. Buddha Xiu took this opportunity to naturally suppress it.
Sun Yi was fortunate to be in peace with his heart, fortunately he left early, and he didn't encounter high-level demon cultivators along the way through the Jinyang Mountain Range, otherwise, with his grudge against demon cultivators, he would definitely not survive today.
In addition, according to what this person said, every other Jiazi in the Yue Kingdom, the Buddha Gate Leiyin Temple, the Demon Dao Holy Demon Sect, the Daomen True Sect, and the Demon Cultivator Four Veins of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest will each arrange a monk in the late stage of the Jiedan who has no hope of entering the Yuan Infant Stage to come to Qianlong City to replace the four major prison states that originally sat in the imperial palace.
At that time, the imperial capital Qianlong City will hold a huge reappointment ceremony.
According to the usual practice, before the new four chief eunuchs take office, the original four eunuchs will fight to the death until one of them dies.
The four veins used the results of this battle to determine the next Yijiazi time and the resources they occupied in the territory of the Yue Kingdom.
Therefore, the ceremony of the change of the prison state is actually a power competition between the monks of the four veins.
At this time, a few years before this grand ceremony, countless monks of all ranks would come to Qianlong City to wait for the re-election ceremony to be held.
For ordinary monks, being able to observe the great battle between the monks in the later stage of Jiedan is a great opportunity, and how much they can understand from it will vary from person to person.
However, those who can really observe the competition at close range are only monks who have cultivated above the middle stage of foundation building are qualified, and if the disciples in the Qi refining period are not led by the elders of the sect, it is basically impossible for them to have this kind of honor.
So, the most attractive thing for most low-level monks and casual cultivators is the other two things.
The first thing is that before the grand ceremony, the monks of Hidden Dragon City gather, and there are often many forces to hold large-scale exchange meetings and various auctions. Cultivators of all levels will have the opportunity to exchange or buy and sell their own cultivation needs.
As for the second thing, for most monks, it can only be said that it is a matter of chance.
Thousands of miles away from Hidden Dragon City, there is a mysterious space called the Nine Spirits Secret Land.
This mysterious space legend was formed when a true immortal fought with the true spirit of the nine-headed demon realm during the Great War of the Ancient Immortals and Demons.
It is rumored that in the end, the true immortal sealed the nine spirits of the demon realm in this space debris with great magical powers, and then this true immortal also fell out of the space debris due to his own injuries.
Therefore, the space fragments that sealed the Nine Spirits of the Demon Realm were called the Nine Spirits Secret Land, and the valley outside of it was called the Valley of the Fallen Immortals.
