Such as the eastern urban area of Yuncheng, in the Gaohua Teahouse.

In the corner, Cheng Huo learned how to drink from other guests, put candied fruit, starch sugar and barley tea leaves into the tea bowl, and shook it gently.

After the barley tea leaves are boiled, the caramel is fully dissolved in water, and the candied fruit also absorbs the tea and becomes full, and then it is lightly embellished with a sip.

Fragrant!

This is the first sensation of the entrance of the high confectionery tea.

This is followed by the sweet aroma of candied fruit and caramel.

But because there is barley tea as a buffer, even if you drink a few more sips, you will not feel tired because the sweet aroma is too strong.

This tea tastes really good....

In the teahouse.

Monks such as Chenghuo, or some wealthy tea drinkers, will also order an extra portion of chopped nuts to sprinkle in the tea bowl to add flavor.

With the warm tea in his mouth, the pain in his body subsided a lot.

I have to say.

The people of this cloud city will indeed enjoy....

Compared with Guyang City, which is located on the border of the Great Liang Kingdom, Ruyun City, which is located in the hinterland of the Liang Kingdom, is more than six times the area of Guyang City.

The prosperity and dense population in the city are far better than those in remote border places such as Guyang City.

Furthermore.

For example, the Great Dao Sect, Beixian Mountain and other sects, their main altars are also set up in Ruyun City.

There is a reason why these sects do this.

The imperial court of the Great Liang State has clear regulations:

In the territory of the Great Liang Kingdom, monks are strictly forbidden to imprison and imprison mortals without permission, and it is even more forbidden to extract the 'power of pain' from mortals.

It's just that although the Great Liang Kingdom strictly forbids cultivators to torture mortals, all sentient beings are suffering.

As long as people live, as long as there is a distinction between high and low, rich and poor, there will definitely be suffering, and there will definitely be 'pain power'.

Moreover, these 'forces of suffering' are completely generated by unconscious actions such as birth, old age, sickness, and death, so they do not belong to anyone.

As long as you are a monk, you can absorb it and use it for your own use.

Therefore, in order to absorb these ownerless 'painful powers', all the sects set up their main altars in densely populated towns.

For example, Bianjing, the national capital of the Great Liang State.

Another example is this Cloud City....

Out of prudence, after entering Ruyun City, Cheng Sheng did not look for a gift jade slip and went to the main altar of the Great Dao Sect to apprentice.

After all, the heart of defense is indispensable.

Before deciding whether or not to worship the Great Dao Sect, Cheng Huo first turned around all the urban districts of Ruyun City.

After that, he chose a high-end tea house with a large flow of people, and while tasting tea, he listened to the chatter of the tea guests in the building.

By doing so, you can relax a little and relieve the pain caused by the 'power of pain'.

Second, you can get some useful information from the mouths of the tea customers.

Maybe it's psychological.

It may also be that Gao Hua tea really has a pain-relieving effect.

After taking a few sips of Gao Jing tea, Cheng Sheng felt that the pain caused by the 'power of pain' was no longer as unbearable as before.

Although it still hurts, the pain is obviously much better than before.

So, I sat in the Gao Jing Tea House for three days....

On the third day, a monk who had a mid-stage cultivation of worshipping the gods and a little 'painful power' escaped from his body from time to time attracted the attention of his survival.

This person is all too familiar to be alive.

- It is only when the monk absorbs the 'power of suffering' that does not belong to him that he will inadvertently overflow because he cannot control this power.

In addition to the 'painful power' escaping from his body, the monk had a pained and tired expression on his face all the time.

This is the expression of a person who has been tortured by the 'power of pain'.

This made Chengsheng more and more sure of his own judgment.

When the monk entered the teahouse, he went straight to the counter and bought a large bag of oiled paper for brewing high confectionery tea.

The monk paid and walked out of the teahouse quickly.

Seeing him leave, Cheng Huo hurriedly drank all the Gao Jing tea in his hand, and followed quietly.

The monk led Cheng Huo two streets and stopped at a stall selling fried noodles.

He put the high-confectionery tea bag he had just bought on the stall, turned around and smiled kindly.

Chengsheng comprehended his meaning, stepped forward and said: "With Taoist cultivation, no matter what, you won't make a living by setting up a fried noodle stall in the city, right?" ”

"Huh,"

The mid-worship monk smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "If you don't find something to do and turn your attention, I'm afraid that I will have been hurt to death by the 'power of pain' a long time ago." ”

Really....

Hearing what the monk said, Chengsheng was overjoyed, and hugged his fists and said, "I don't know the name of Youzun? ”

"Yuan Xiujie." The monk cupped his fists and saluted back, saying, "Dare to ask Daoyou...."

Cheng Sheng said: "My name is Tie Niu. ”

……

After some conversation, Cheng Sheng learned from the other party:

This mid-stage monk named Yuan Xiujie also absorbed a large amount of 'pain power' by chance.

In order to dissolve the 'painful power' in his body, Yuan Xiujie learned from a friend that in a valley about three hundred miles away from Ruyun City, there was a dangerous place called the 'Blood Forest'.

There is a blood-red 'Blood Tree' growing in the Blood Forest, and the sap that flows from its trunk dissolves the 'power of pain'.

Yuan Xiujie said: "However, I also learned after I arrived in Ruyun City that the blood forest is shrouded in white mist all year round. ”

"It is said that those white mist are related to the 'Gu Immortals'."

"Anyone who breaks into the white fog is very likely to see illusions from the fog, see evil demons, see monsters and monsters, and even see the 'Gu Immortals' who have gone crazy, in short, it is very dangerous."

Yuan Xiujie's words made Cheng Sheng subconsciously recall the white mist that appeared in Shenshu Village.

In the white mist of Shenshu Village, there was a group of immortals suspected of being 'Gu Immortals'....

Cheng Huo looked at Yuan Xiujie and waited quietly for his next words.

The latter continued, "However, the white mist of the Blood Forest recedes every three years, and it lasts for about six or seven days at a time. ”

"In order to wait for the six or seven days when the white fog dissipated, I set up a flour stall in this Ruyun City, and fried fried noodles for more than a year."

Cheng Huo nodded, thoughtful.

He expressed the doubts in his heart: "Since the sap of the Blood Tree can dissolve the 'power of pain', then it must be profitable, plus the Blood Forest is not a few days away from Ruyun City.... So, isn't there a ready-made blood tree sap to sell in Ruyun City? ”

Yuan Xiujie shook his head and said, "The blood tree is very strange, the juice it flows out will generally be broken in three or five days." ”

"And most importantly, the juice can't be put in a storage bag, so there's no way anyone can sell it."

"Can't put a storage bag?" These words reminded Chengsheng of the 'Dao Fruit' of Shenshu Village.

Only living animals cannot be put in storage bags.

Thinking of this, Cheng Huo said with a strange expression: "Could it be that the blood tree sap is alive?" ”

"Who knows."

Yuan Xiujie shook his head and said, "In short, counting the time, the white mist of the Blood Forest will probably fade in three months." ”

"So after three months, it's the best opportunity to collect the sap of the blood tree, and if you miss it, you'll have to wait another three years."

"I wonder if you're interested in coming together?"
