Ninety-three, the Grand Alliance, the Monks' Bazaar
Three days later, Li Ding and the others, who were still dressed as martial arts people, came to the famous city of Chu "Yingcheng".
After entering the city, Lu Jianke took Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er around the city until she came to a narrow and secluded alley before she stopped.
This alley is only allowed to pass by one person, and it is a dead end, there is no way forward, Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er don't understand why she brought them here.
Lu Jianke quickly solved their puzzles, she pointed to the corner of the alley and said, "This place is the entrance to the monk's market. Lo and behold, there are markings of the big leagues there. ”
Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er took a closer look, and saw that on the corner of the wall, there was a seven-petal flower carved, and each petal had different lines, representing the seven major sects of the Zhongzhou human race. The stamen in the center is carved with an ancient character for "Lian".
This seven-petal flower is the symbol of the Seven Sects Alliance of Zhongzhou.
The Great Alliance is an organization established to deal with the barbarian alien races, led by the seven major sects, and many small and medium-sized sects and cultivation families have joined. In the face of the invasion of the barbarian alien race, the sworn enemy of the race, although it is unanimous to the outside world, there is actually no harmony within the Grand Alliance.
For example, the Ghost Dao Sect of Chu State has a tense relationship with the two sects of ships and swords.
Li Ding, Zhao Ling'er, and Lu Jianke, as disciples of the Second Sect of Ships and Swords, must be careful to conceal their identities when walking in the Chu State, otherwise if they are not careful, they will be secretly killed by the monks of the Ghost Dao Sect. And Li Ding and the three of them did have a vicious battle with the monks of the Ghost Dao Sect, but they were superior in chess, and they killed the eleven monks of the Ghost Dao Sect.
Fortunately, the three of them were killed in the treasure cave of the Goddess Mountain, the location was hidden, and there were no witnesses, so they could continue to stay in the Chu State in a low-key manner without triggering the pursuit and retaliation of the Ghost Dao Sect.
However, once you enter the monks' bazaar, the situation is different.
The Monks' Bazaar, as the name suggests, is a bazaar dedicated to the monks.
In the seven major countries of the human race in Zhongzhou, almost every famous city with a population of more than 500,000 in each country has a monk market.
Of course, even if the bazaar is located in the middle of the city, mortals can't find it and can't get in. Only by chanting monks can you find the bazaar and enter the bazaar.
The bazaar is jointly organized by the Great Alliance, and each bazaar in the city is jointly governed by the seven major sects. Each bazaar has seven principals, each from the seven major sects of Zhongzhou, all of whom are manifest-level great monks who work together to maintain order.
Therefore, the Monks' Bazaar is known as a place of absolute neutrality. No one is allowed to fight or provoke in a centralized manner. Even if they have a mutual enmity, they are not allowed to fire and fight each other in the market. Those who dare to violate, no matter what sect they come from, will be jointly attacked by the seven principals, and they will be abolished at least and executed on the spot.
Even if the cultivation is advanced enough to ignore the seven Manifest-level principals, they will be jointly pursued by the Grand Alliance afterwards. And in the land of Zhongzhou, no matter who it is, no matter how high the cultivation is, it is impossible to be safe and sound under the joint pursuit of the big alliance.
Therefore, as long as Li Ding and the three of them enter the market, they can show their identities openly and brightly, and they don't have to worry about their own safety. You don't even have to worry about being followed and killed when you leave the bazaar - there is a teleportation circle that can randomly teleport people to a safe location when leaving the bazaar. So even if you are remembered by someone in the concentration, you don't need to worry about being tailed.
This narrow cul-de-sac in front of you is one of the entrances to the Yingcheng Monk Market.
Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er, under the guidance of Lu Jianke, took out their respective identity waist cards and hung them on their belts. Then he followed Lu Jianke into the alley.
As soon as he walked into the alley, Li Ding's eyes were dazzled, and then he suddenly brightened. When I looked closely, I found myself on a bustling street.
This street is ten zhang wide, and there is no end in sight.
On both sides of the street, there are tall storefronts, and there are a large number of stalls along the road, all of whom are monks.
There were no ordinary people on the street, just monks coming and going.
The monks all over the street either entered the store to consume, or searched for food in front of the stalls, bargaining with the stall owners, arguing with red faces, and making it as lively as a vegetable scene.
Li Ding was shocked by this small shock, and immediately came back to his senses, turned around, and found that there was also a street behind him, and the alley was long gone.
He tried to take two steps back, only to find that he was still on the street, and had not returned to the alley as he had imagined.
He still had to try again, but Lu Jianke said: "Don't try, the monk bazaar is like this, the entrance is not allowed to enter or exit, and the exit is not allowed to enter." If you want to get out, you have to go through the teleportation circle. ”
Li Ding nodded and said with a smile: "In this way, it will save a lot of trouble." People don't know where we came from or where we're going. Even if you sweep the goods in the city, you don't have to worry about being remembered and causing a bloody case. ”
Lu Jianke said: "That's the truth. After all, the establishment of the monk bazaar by the Grand Alliance was to facilitate the exchange of information between the various sects and families in Zhongzhou. I don't want to cause a lot of infighting and waste the strength of the human race in vain. ”
Speaking of this, she lowered her voice and whispered: "Actually, the ones who love infighting the most are the Ghost Dao Sect and the Demon Dao Alliance. The rest of the factions will not kill each other in private. For example, our Sword Sect, because of the concept problem, has always had a bad relationship with the Instrument Sect. But if I walk in the Zhao Kingdom where the Qi Sect is located, I can show my identity openly and brightly, and I don't need to worry about being plotted at all. ”
Zhao Ling'er also said: "Well, I've heard this too." If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Dao Sect and the Demon Dao Alliance were indeed powerful, and they had never let go of water when fighting against the barbarian alien races, then these two factions would have been excluded from the Grand Alliance a long time ago. ”
The three of them whispered as they walked towards a shop with a sign that read "Wanbao Zhai".
The monks who were setting up stalls on the side of the road saw the three of them and greeted them one after another: "Three guest officers, the freshly baked Xiao Nian Ling Pill, each pill increases the power value by five hundred, and one pill only needs half a catty of Xingchen Mithril, or ten catties of broken star steel and shimmering fire red copper...... Alchemy materials of equivalent value can also be used!"
"Three distinguished guests, here is a fragment of the Ancient Refining Divine Technique, as long as you have a penny of Sun Essence Gold, you can take it!"
"The three great powers, please stay, here are the fragments of the ancient artifact, a thousand catties of broken star steel, as long as a thousand catties of broken star steel, you can get this fragment of the ancient artifact! Is there a heartbeat price? Is there a blood vomiting sale? What are you waiting for? What are you hesitating about......
Lu Jianke turned a deaf ear to all kinds of hoarse shouting, pointed straight to his heart, and went straight to his destination. Zhao Ling'er and Li Ding are not so determined, looking around, looking around, they all have some kind of attempt to pick up the ancient supernatural powers and ancient artifacts.
Of course, such an attempt is not destined to come true.
If there really is any good treasure, then so many monks in the bazaar, many of whom have excellent eyesight and secret skills, have already scavenged all the good things. How could it be so easy to bump into Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er?
So in the end, Li Ding and Zhao Ling'er honestly followed Lu Jianke into the Wanbao Zhai.
