Chapter 585: Black Water Medicinal Pavilion, Secret Realm under the City
After Yu Lie arrived in Calamity Star City, he didn't immediately go to Qingwazi and the others, he didn't even go out, he directly borrowed the Sang family's shop and observed the situation.
For a month and a half, the business of the Sang family's shop became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more customers, but there was no trouble for idle people to come to find Yu Lie.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The others have already arrived in Calamity Star City, and the black hand who is secretly looking for him has not done anything now, either because of the rules in Calamity Star City, it is inconvenient to make a move, or he can't spare his hand for the time being.
And no matter which one it is, this is a good thing for the rest of the column.
So it was noon on the day.
Yu Lie was very thoughtful, and finally pushed the door open, to go out for a walk.
Sang Yutang has been waiting outside his door for a while, helping to handle some of the things that Yu Lie requested, such as buying a map in the city of Calamity, going to the market to inquire about the news, releasing some news to the outside world, and so on.
After stepping forward to say a few words to Yu Lie, the woman learned that Yu Lie was going to contact someone from her old acquaintance, and she immediately wanted to lead the way and walk to the location of Qingwazi and the others.
But Yu Lie stopped her, and said:
"The people of Qianzhou Dao Palace, since they are living a good life now, it is not convenient for Poor Dao to come forward and disturb them, so they can save new troubles in the past.
Today, let's go here. ”
I saw Yu Lie wave his hand, and a map condensed with true qi appeared in front of him, and the lines on it changed, revealing a location located in the west corner of Calamity Star City.
This place, known as the mud alley in the city, is inhabited by some low-level Taoists in Calamity Star City, and the environment is cramped, dark and damp.
But if this place is the lowest area in Scourge City, then it is not. Because the person who can live in the muddy alley is at least a seventh-grade Taoist official, and there are not a few people who have been promoted to the foundation building Taoist priest.
Compared with the real bottom area, the Taoists in the mud alley are still independent, or even have their own facades, which is convenient for doing some business, but the feng shui is not good and the environment is almost bad.
These realms are often also after the foreign Taoist priests arrive in Calamity Star City,
Where to buy your first family business. Its area is not small, although it is called an alley, but it occupies a large corner of the southwest.
Sang Yutang learned that Yu Lie was going to Mud Lane, so he paused slightly, but he didn't raise any questions, and immediately took the spirit beast used in the store to lead Yu Lie.
Soon.
With Sang Yutang as a guide, Yu Lie came to a pile of crude stone houses, these stone houses seemed to have been burned by fire, mottled, and their environment was really simple, and the scene he saw when he entered Qianzhou Dao City at the beginning of that year was very similar.
Walking in it, it is difficult to see the day, and you will feel as if you are just a small ant in the jungle of buildings.
It can even be said that the environment of the muddy alley is worse than the bottom of Qianzhou Dao City.
Because here, there is no aura!
However, this is not just the mud alley, Yu Lie has learned in recent days that in the Great Calamity Star City, except for the spiritual veins built and cultivated by the buildings and shops of all parties, the city does not provide spiritual energy.
All the Daoists who lived in Calamity Star City could not imagine that they could directly cultivate through the free aura between heaven and earth, and one by one they could only rely on pills, spirit stones, and other things.
Not only does Calamity Star City not provide spiritual veins and spiritual energy, on the contrary, it will also absorb the spiritual energy that the Daoists escape from on weekdays, especially the spiritual energy that is returned to heaven and earth when the Daoist is dead on the Fighting Law Altar, into the city, as a resource for maintaining thousands of Dou Dharma Altars.
Squeak.
Yu Lie soon came to the door of a small courtyard in the muddy alley, and the gate was not closed, but only gently hidden.
After he pushed the door in, he looked up and saw a small plaque in his eyes, which was inscribed with four words:
"Blackwater Pharmacy."
It's just that in this medicine hall, there is no smell of medicinal stones, and there are no medicinal herbs and flowers in the courtyard, and the walls and floors are all bare, but the bricks and stones are covered with traces of cutting, as if there has been a fierce fight, and there is more than one game.
Yu Lie closed his eyes, and from those traces, he could still detect the residual qi machine that made his hairs stand up, as if the battle had just ended.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the depths of the pharmacy:
"What kind of work, what hour, just leave a note, and when I finish my cultivation, I will go and solve it."
When I heard it, the voice was not Heishuizi, it was quite young, and it was still a woman.
What made Yu Lie's eyes even more surprised was that the other party's voice made him a little familiar. After a little thought, he had a guess about the identity of this person.
Yu Lie paused, he stood under the plaque, and exclaimed:
"Today, I don't come here for business, but just for the old people to visit."
A soft sound suddenly sounded from the depths of the pharmacy.
The next moment, I saw a black line flickering in front of Yu Lie's body, and a tall figure appeared on the steps, the other party was a human body, not a demon body, but more than a zhang tall, and the pestle was in front of Yu Lie, and it was a giant.
Sang Yutang, who came in with the rest of the column, raised his eyes and looked at the other party, and his eyelids couldn't help but pick lightly.
Because although the figure in the museum is tall, the body proportion is not bad, but very hot.
Her legs were slender, her waist was not thick compared to her whole body, it was narrow and powerful, and her black hair fell from behind the other party, like flowing ink.
If there is something big and out of the ordinary, it is that his chest is really thick, and the eyes of the remaining columns in front of the steps are hooked for a while.
A voice of surprise and disbelief sounded from the other party's mouth:
"Yu, Brother Yu?!"
Yu Lie heard the cry, and only then did he look away and recognize the other party's face.
Although this person's appearance was very similar to what he had in his impression, Yu Lie still hesitated:
"Are you, railroad friend?"
The tall female Dao who walked out of the Black Water Pharmacy was the same batch as Yu Lie and worshiped the Tie Jian Orchid in the Qianzhou Dao Palace.
After many years, this woman appeared in the Disaster Domain, and her cultivation was already a foundation, and she was still staying in the Black Water Pharmacy, which really surprised Yu Lie.
However, he soon remembered what Purple Candle had told him, and he had already sent his subordinates to the Trouble Domain and made contact with Black Water.
The Taoist who used to contact Heishuizi seemed to be the one who tried the method of Purple Candle.
"It seems that the one who tested the law for Shizun was Tie Jianlan, no wonder she also built a foundation, and her path is not shallow." Yu Lie thought to himself.
Seeing that Yu Lie still recognized herself, Tie Jianlan showed a warm smile on her cold face.
She immediately opened her hand and invited: "Sure enough, the old man came to the door, Brother Yu, and that Taoist friend, and they went in to talk." ”
This woman's smile is quite beautiful, with a sense of brightness that makes Yu Lie unfamiliar, but the other party's body is more than a zhang high, no matter how beautiful she smiles, she still feels a little weird in the eyes of Yu Lie and Sang Yutang.
This is because of the various exercises or spiritual roots in the world, almost all Daoists can transform into a huge demon body, such as the body of the serpent in the remaining columns.
But in normal times, Taoists maintain their body size within a normal human range, not too tall, not too short, and pure human form is beautiful.
If Tie Jianlan appeared in an inhuman state, Yu Lie and Sang Yutang would not feel weird, but the other party was both humanoid and too huge, so it would look weird in the eyes of the two.
Soon, the three of them sat cross-legged in the pharmacy.
Tie Jian Lan seemed to sense the surprise in Yu Lie's eyes, and she chuckled and spoke:
"I haven't seen him for many years, Tie's appearance has changed a lot now, but Brother Yu's appearance, as always, is still a young man."
In a few short sentences, Tie Jianlan revealed that the change in her current body shape was related to her ancestor's bloodline, not that her cultivation had gone wrong and she couldn't shrink back.
Yu Lie nodded in understanding.
But he is now an ageless young man, opposite is a gorgeous woman who is more than a foot tall, and the two meet each other again, just across a low table, sitting opposite each other.
Every time Yu Lie spoke, he had to look up at the other party.
This always reminded him of the experience of being reprimanded by the female elders of the clan when he was young, but he could only listen quietly cross-legged.
Fortunately, after some pleasantries, the conversation between the two involved business.
Yu Lie looked around the humble inside of the pharmacy, frowned and said:
"I came to the door rashly today, I heard that the Blackwater Pharmacy is still there, but the owner of the pharmacy is gone, so I came here to look for clues. But now that the railroad friend is still here, Yu asked directly.
Do you know the whereabouts of the head of the Black Water Sect? ”
He looked up at the other with blazing eyes.
When Tie Jianlan heard this, her face did not show grief or frowning, she just hesitated to glance at Sang Yutang next to her, took a sip of tea, and gestured to Yu Lie with her eyes, asking if this woman was credible.
Before the rest of the list was spoken, a voice came from the ears of the two:
"It's rare for the two to reunite, but in the concubine's shop, there are still things to take care of, so they retired first."
Sang Yutang spoke, saluted apologetically, and walked outside the courtyard.
Yu Lie hesitated for a moment, he just got up and sent him off a few steps, and did not leave Sang Yutang behind.
Hei Shuizi is his uncle, and he is the benefactor who taught him in the barren mountain town at the beginning, and it is related to the whereabouts and safety of his people, and the less people know, the better.
If Sang Yutang doesn't retire on his own, Yu Lie will also use excuses to separate the other party.
When there were only two people left in the medicine hall, Tie Jian Orchid and Yu Lie were left, and as soon as Tie Jian Ran raised his hand, the formation on the left and right of the medicine hall was raised, making the light in the room suddenly dim a lot.
A chuckling voice sounded from the mouth of the female road:
"Brother Yu is really a blessing, when you and I were just Taoists, Brother Yu was accompanied by two beauties in the palace.
Now in the Disaster Domain, there can be such a beautiful woman by his side, compared to the old man of Heishuizi, Brother Yu is much more nourished. ”
Yu Lie heard the ridicule and was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.
After all, according to the information he has gathered, the reason why Hei Shuizi has been in a bad situation in recent years and has disappeared is most likely to be implicated by him.
Yu Lie didn't know for a moment if the other party was just joking, or if he meant something.
Fortunately, after Tie Jianlan laughed, her voice returned to seriousness.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
She looked at Yu Lie with bright eyes, and said, "Brother Yu, you came just in time, if you don't come, Tie really doesn't know, who to find to save that old guy together."
Although there are also people from the Qianzhou Dao Palace in the Calamity Star City, you also know what the relationship between your lineage and the people in the Qianzhou Dao Palace is today......
Yu Lie understood that what this woman said was referring to Qingwazi and others.
Although he personally has some trust in Qingwazi and others, in the eyes of Hei Shuizi and Tie Jianlan, it is completely different.
Yu Lie said in a deep voice: "Railway friends, please speak bluntly, what trouble did the Heishuizi Guan Master encounter?" ”
Suddenly, a shadow suppressed Yu Lie's entire body, and it was Tie Gladiolus who stood up.
The female path paced, thinking about something.
Yu Lie sat squarely in front of the low table, only the huge figure next to him swayed.
This scene seemed more like a child being reprimanded by his elders.
Tie Gladiolus organized the language: "How long has Brother Yu been in Calamity Star City, have you ever known what has happened in the city in recent years?" ”
Yu Lie replied: "I just came here for half a month, although I inquired about some gossip, but I haven't heard of any big movements. ”
"Since you don't know, Tie will introduce you to you."
Immediately, Tie Jian Orchid swung out her mana, and an illusion of Calamity Star City, which was like a mirage, appeared on the low table, she pointed to the entire Calamity Star City, and said:
"Just five years ago, Scourge Star City was moved once. At that time, the whole city was shaken, as if it was collapsing, and all the fighting altars in the city had spiritual light gushing out, and streams of spiritual energy flew out from it, and it seemed that under each fighting altar, there was a high-grade spiritual vein.
It lasted for five days and five nights before it stopped. It was also the first time in 10,000 years that the entire Calamity Star City had been encountered, and for five consecutive days, no one had died, and no one had ever had a fight. ”
The woman talked eloquently:
"Ordinary Daoists thought that this was the Evil Star City devouring everyone's spiritual energy, and finally ate it, and it was rare to vent and vomit.
However, if those who have insight inquire or study carefully, they will know that ten thousand years ago, there was also an eruption of ten thousand spiritual qi in the city. It's almost exactly the same as it happened five years ago, except for the number of days.
And under those fighting altars, it is not a spiritual vein, but a huge world fragment, or in other words, a secret realm! ”
"Scourge Star City Secret Realm?" Yu Lie was stunned for a moment.
It is said that before he flew to the Disaster Domain, Purple Candle had not explained to him, and there was such a huge secret realm in the Disaster Domain.
After Yu Lie digested for a moment, he said loudly: "Fellow railway friends, don't you want to say that the head of Heishuizi is trapped in the secret realm under the city?" ”
Tie Jianlan nodded positively: "Yes!" ”
