There are many fragmented markets in the eastern district of Lianyun City.

These markets are somewhat similar to the pedestrian streets of Chen Ping's later cities, interspersed with residential areas and lined with shops for monks to store their belongings.

He Xianxiang's butcher shop is in such a market.

The stalls in these markets are fixed, and the shops have fixed shops, paying rent every month, and the security is relatively good.

The disadvantage is that temporary stalls are not allowed.

Because it is too difficult to govern in this way.

As a result, the monks who needed to set up stalls to sell their goods spontaneously gathered in a specific area to sell their goods.

This formed the 'Chengdongfang City'.

Chengdongfang City, as the name suggests, is located in the easternmost part of the scattered cultivation area, this area was originally a barren area, close to the city wall, stretching for several miles, and now all of them are temporary monk stalls, which are not lively every day.

Chen Ping went to Chengdongfang City.

There are also some fixed shops in Chengdongfang City, but more of them are scattered stalls, and the two are intertwined, somewhat similar to the model of Chen Ping's later town bazaar.

People come and go, and it's quite lively.

Chen Ping didn't rush to set up a stall, but walked along the road of Fangshi.

While wandering around, I never thought I would meet an old face.

"Ding Daoyou?" Chen Ping was a little surprised.

This person is Ding Liu, who worked together in Ningfu at the beginning, and Chen Ping was also selected to participate in Miss Seven's outing mission with Ding Liu before leaving Ningfu.

The only two low-level qi practitioners who are lucky.

It's just that Chen Ping sold this luck to another Taoist friend, and Ding Liu chose to seize the opportunity.

After two months, I didn't expect to see him in the casual cultivation area.

It's just that...

Now Ding Liu's hair is fluffy, his face is haggard, and he seems to have lost the spirit he had at the beginning.

"Chen Daoyou? I didn't expect to see you here. I thought you left with the caravan. When Ding Liu saw his old friend, he excitedly surrendered his hand.

The two found a place with fewer people to sit down, and Chen Ping asked:

"Why did Ding Daoyou come to the Loose Cultivation Area? And also... Your legs...? ”

One of Ding Liu's legs was limping when he walked.

That wasn't the case more than two months ago.

Ding Liu patted his lame leg and laughed at himself:

"That's okay, it's just a lame leg, at least save your life."

Chen Ping was puzzled:

"What happened?"

At the mention of this, Ding Liu sighed again and again, and then talked about what had happened.

It turned out to be that mission.

The ten-person team entered the Endless Forest as scheduled on the second day after Chen Ping left Ning Mansion.

Leading the team is Miss Seven.

In addition to this, there are two other monks from the Qingyun Sect. The one with the highest cultivation among the ten people was the guest qing of the Qingyun Sect.

Build the foundation and repair it.

There are foundation building monks, and there is also a genius girl Miss Seven, which makes Ding Liu and other low-level monks feel extremely relieved about this trip.

I feel even more honored.

This was the first time he had gone on a mission with the Tsukiji monks.

Many of his colleagues had never even seen a monk in their entire lives.

After the small team of ten people entered the Endless Forest, the first few days were smooth, and they did not encounter any danger, and they cautiously advanced all the way to the depths of the forest.

But Ding Liu and they found that this mission did not seem to be simple, along the way they had encountered the first-order demon beast twice, it stands to reason that the first-order demon beast is a piece of cake in the eyes of the foundation building monks, this is a demon beast, this is simply a pile of walking spirit stones.

But Miss Seven and the monk had no idea of hunting beasts at all, and instead chose to take a detour.

Obviously, this operation was not a hunting beast.

As Miss Seven and the Monk Tsukiji were traveling, they would stop from time to time to look at the map.

What exactly was marked on the map, Ding Liu and those low-level qi cultivators didn't know.

What Miss Seven was looking for, they didn't know either.

Don't dare to ask.

This is the minimum quality of a qualified family.

Ding Liu doesn't care, anyway, just follow Miss Seven, with Miss Seven and the foundation monk taking the lead, the danger will not be their turn.

This went on for five days.

On the sixth day, there was a torrential rain in the forest, and after a day and night, there was no sign of stopping, but there were more and more mosquitoes in the forest, and the miasma became thicker and thicker, and the moisture invaded the body.

Staying in this environment for a long time, even a qi practitioner begins to be overwhelmed.

In this case, the best option is to make a return trip.

And then.

Miss Seven still chose to go deeper.

Regrettably,

On the third day after the rainstorm, they encountered a fierce second-order demon beast.

If it was only a second-order demon beast, they had a foundation building cultivator, and even if they couldn't hunt the second-order demon beast, it would not be difficult to return it if they wanted to return it with their whole body. But that demon beast has been possessed by evil and unpredictable, and it is not at all something that the foundation building monk can deal with.

That war.

Five dead and five wounded, forcing the embarrassed return.

The seventh miss was even more seriously injured, and the Zhuji monk was not much better, the seventh miss was basically carried back, and as soon as she returned to Ning Mansion, she was picked up by the Qingyun Sect.

After listening, Chen Ping sighed.

Fortunately, I gave up the opportunity in the first place, otherwise I am afraid that I would have died at this moment. ’

Sure enough, it can't be a simple task for a genius girl to lead the team. ’

'It's just that I don't know what they're going to do in the Endless Woods?' ’

But it's none of my business. I just want to live quietly. ’

Chen Ping was lucky, but he was afraid.

I'm glad I made a wise decision... The world is dangerous, so it's better to keep a low profile.

"How much? Is he alright? Chen Ping asked a ghost.

At the beginning, he didn't transfer much of the opportunity before he 'resigned'.

"He... Didn't get out of that forest. ... Ay... However, he blocked the evil attack of the evil spirit for Miss Seven, and he can be regarded as getting what he wanted, right? Ding Liu sighed.

Chen Ping was speechless, not knowing what to say.

'Our monks are fighting with the heavens, the earth, and fate, and naturally we must also fight for chance. Chen Ping still remembers this stirring sentence when he changed opportunities.

Quite emotional.

Chen Ping came back to his senses:

"I've never heard of demon beasts being evil, what's going on?"

Hearing this, Ding Liu shook his head: "I don't know, all of us are very strange, but it is an evil demon beast, and its attack power is too strong." ”

Chen Ping unconsciously glanced in the direction of the forest, turned around and asked:

"Then you... How is it here? ”

Still so haggard?

"Hey, I've been out of Ningfu for more than a month, and now I live in the east of the city, without resources, I have to rely on my own efforts for everything, it's inevitable." There was a sadness in Ding Liu's eyes.

Chen Ping was indignant for him:

"You were injured for the Ning Mansion, and they treated the family like this? Not to mention spending a lot of resources to heal you, you can't just drive you out if there is a physical problem, right? ”

Ding Liu shook his head:

"That's not it, I proposed to be dismissed myself, my feet are useless, I can no longer take on tasks, how many resources can I earn by just doing some odd jobs? It's not time to come out yet. ”

"It's all fate, and you can't blame Ning Mansion entirely. During the battle, Miss Seven also tried her best, and when she heard the chatting of several high-ranking monks on the way, Miss Seven had no choice, she had only one way to go deep into the forest. Although I don't know what the reason behind it is, everyone has their own lives, and she may have carried too much. ”

Chen Ping nodded, not right or wrong.

He has no right to interfere with other people's choices, but he can decide his own path.

Miss Seven, this girl is too tiger, it's best not to have anything to do with her in this life, otherwise I'm afraid of countless troubles.

As for Ding Liu's choice to leave Ning Mansion, Chen Ping didn't know what to say.

It's actually not easy to come out, how can casual cultivation be so good to make money?

He has a golden finger, and he hasn't officially made money for three months.

I've been eating the old book.

Today is the first time I have done a job to make money.

Thinking of this, Chen Ping didn't talk to Ding Liuduo anymore, and had to sell talismans.

Before saying goodbye, Chen Ping left Ding Liu's current address in the house, but he didn't leave his own to Ding Liu, and it would be good if he had time to visit him.
