CHAPTER XXIII
The next day, Chen Meng got up early in the morning and came to the hall of the headquarters of Qianyuan Commercial Bank.
"What does Childe want to buy?" An old man came up.
"I'll do the teleportation array."
"Where are you going?"
"Go to Nanbu Island."
"Childe, please." The old man took Chen Meng to a small courtyard behind the hall of the Chamber of Commerce, and the ground in the courtyard was carved with complicated formations.
"One hundred and fifty spirit stones." The old man reached out and asked for money.
Chen Meng was a little speechless, these years are really full of black-hearted people. Fortunately, he asked Bai Xiaoyan when he was leaving, otherwise he would be cheated by this old man for fifty spirit stones.
"Let's not bring such a trick." Chen Meng shook his head helplessly.
"And how much do you say?"
Chen Meng took out a hundred spirit stones from the ring and paid them to the old man.
"One hundred is the price of the teleportation array, and the remaining fifty is my hard work." The old man looked at Chen Meng with a smile.
Chen Meng was helpless, the teleportation array was all owned by others, what could he do. Respectfully, he took out another fifty spirit stones and sent them to the old man's hand.
"That's pretty much it. Remember, young man, that the rules of this world are not set by you. The old man shook his head, "Stand in the center of the circle and close your eyes." ”
Chen Meng really didn't bother to quarrel with him here, so he walked to the center of the formation and closed his eyes as the old man said.
The old man took out a token and embedded it in a nearby tree. The teleportation array suddenly lit up, and it was full of light.
Chen Meng felt a breeze blowing through his face, his feet shook slightly, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.
After a while, a pleasant girl came to her ear: "Childe, open your eyes." ”
Chen Meng opened his eyes and came to a courtyard full of camellias, where a woman sat not far away, smiling and beckoning to Chen Meng.
"Guests from Dongzhou, please use tea."
Chen Meng was also not polite, and sat opposite the woman: "Dare to ask, this is the Southern Ganbu Continent?" ”
"Yes. Childe came to this Southern Ganbu Continent, but for what? ”
"Buying something."
"What Childe is asking for, can't Dongsheng Shenzhou buy? The business of Qianyuan Commercial Bank is so big, and the Dongzhou Continent is full of semicolons, what kind of rare spiritual treasure does the son want to buy, and he will come to my southern Ganbu Continent from thousands of miles away? ”
"Gloomy wood. Do you have one here? ”
The woman's hand holding the teacup paused, "Not really." ”
"Where is your biggest chamber of commerce here?"
"Childe came here, it is a city in the Southern Ganbu Continent, called Canglan City. There are four major chambers of commerce in the city, Qiankun Pavilion, which specializes in spiritual grass and spiritual tea, Bailian Hall, which specializes in ore and metal, Dingshengzhuang, which specializes in pills, and Yunyue Tower, which I have searched for the world's treasures. ”
"You're Yunyue Tower?"
"Exactly. Childe, this gloomy wood, I don't have it in Yunyue Tower, presumably you don't need to ask elsewhere. ”
"How far is this place from Yunlan City?"
"It's not far away, and you can reach it in one day; It is not close, it is more than a hundred miles. ”
"Excuse me, how do I get to Yunlan City?"
"Childe, I came from Dongzhou thousands of miles to my Nanzhou, why am you in a hurry? Why don't you stay here for two days and see the scenery? As far as I know, my Southern Ganbu Continent is very different from your Dongsheng Shenzhou. ”
Chen Meng pondered and pondered, and he was right. In the end, the gloomy wood is not in a hurry, it's a big deal to go to Beiju Luzhou.
"Can you stay here?" Chen Meng asked.
"Nature is possible. Childe, please. ”
The two walked out of the courtyard and walked out of the hall of Yunyue Tower. Outside is a wide street with people coming and going.
Next to the Yunyue Building, there is a Yunyue Inn. The woman led Chen Meng into the inn, Chen Meng asked for an upper room, ten spirit stones for one night, and Chen Meng booked it for a week.
"Is there anything to do around here?" Just as he was about to go upstairs to the room, Chen Meng turned around and asked.
"There's a square over there, and there's a Canglan Daoyuan Tower on the square, if Childe is confident in himself, he can make a little money."
"How do you make money?" Chen Meng was a little surprised.
"There is a bounty in Canglan City, who can climb to the sixth floor of the tower and take down the Canglan Pearl, and a Daoyuan Pearl, can reward 20,000 spirit stones."
"What is the Canglan Pearl?" Chen Meng was a little puzzled.
"The Canglan Bead is a legacy left by the ancient monks when they built Canglan City, and it is sealed in the Canglan Tower. The tower has a total of nine floors, and there is a prohibition, and only monks below the eighth floor of Qi can enter. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Chen Meng nodded, "Take me to have a look." ”
"Childe, the concubine can be a guide for the childe, but you have to pay for it."
"How much?" It costs money to go out and everywhere.
"It's not expensive. As for me, I am the deacon of Yunyue Tower, and it stands to reason that it is not my turn to be a guide. But if Childe insists on me being a guide, thirty spirit stones a day, I will accompany Childe to have a good time in this Canglan City. ”
"You're robbing money! I'll go out and find a guy who leads the way, and I'll die for two or three dollars a day, okay? ”
"Yes, the little guy is cheap, but they don't necessarily know the good places I know."
"What's the best place to go?"
"For example, the underground auction jointly organized by several major chambers of commerce; For example, the Qianqi Pavilion that chooses spirit pets; For example, the slave seller Yu Xuan; For example, some low-quality and inexpensive secret doors......"
"What do you call a secret door?" Chen Meng didn't understand.
"It's a place where you men can solve problems without spending a lot of money."
"What's that?" Chen Meng was shocked, "You are really a good guide." ”
Childe smiled. The concubine has been in this Yunyue Building for more than 20 years, and she doesn't understand anything else, but she understands men. ”
"Where is the underground auction you just mentioned?" The only thing Chen Meng was interested in was this.
"Why is Childe only interested in underground auction houses? There are countless spirit beasts in this Thousand Strange Pavilion, and the beauties of Yu Xuan are like clouds, and the son doesn't go? ”
"What's in the underground auctions?"
"There are all kinds of strange things, demon pills or something, they are all things that are not easy to sell on the surface."
"What's so hard to sell in the Demon Pill?" Chen Meng was puzzled.
"This Southern Ganbu Continent is not the same as your Dongsheng Shenzhou, the five clans of the Southern Ganbu Continent are republicans and do not conquer each other, so none of the demon beast materials can be circulated on the market."
Chen Meng threw out thirty spirit stones from his arms, "Don't talk nonsense, take me to the underground auction." ”
"Then the auction won't start until the evening. You just happened to be here, and there was one tonight. ”
"You remember to take me that night. Now you can take me to the Canglan Daoyuan Tower. Chen Meng walked out of the door with his hands behind his back.
"Childe, it's not too late to fight the Canglan Daoyuan Tower, if you want me to say, let's go to Qianqi Pavilion to take a look, there are all kinds of spirit beasts there, if you meet the one you like, buy one, it's beautiful and easy to use, how good."
"What's the difference between a spirit beast and a demon beast?"
"The spirit beast is a domesticated demon beast. In other words, spirit animals can be used by people. ”
"Oh. Don't go. Chen Meng shook his head, "Haven't asked my sister's name yet?" ”
"Me? I am a deacon of Yunyue Building, and my surname is Su Minglian. ”
"Sister Su." Chen Meng arched his hand, "In my opinion, don't Sister Su want to go to Qianqi Pavilion by herself, right?" Deliberately asked for a guide's errand.,I don't have to work in this store.,You can go out and walk around.,Sister kills two birds with one stone.,I'm admired.。 ”
"Good boy, you have sharp teeth, what's your name?"
"Under the surname Chen Mingmeng. Sister Su, take me to Canglan Daoyuan Tower first. If I make money, it's not too late to go somewhere else. ”
"You seem confident that you can win? You have only practiced qi at the sixth level, and those who go up to that tower have to practice qi at the seventh level, how can you make money? ”
"You don't care how you make money. Naturally, I'm going to see this kind of tower. Don't worry, I have my own way. ”
"You seem to be really confident." Su Lian blinked and looked at Chen Meng, "That's it, let's go, go to the ring." What if the old lady really gets rich. ”
The two walked east along the street, crossing an arched bridge with a rushing river underneath.
"What kind of river is this?"
"This is the Canghe River, the mother river of Canglan City."
Canglan Daoyuan Tower is erected on the east side of the turbulent river of Canghe River, and there are four iron cables on the left and right of the tower body, which are hung on the four stone lions on both sides respectively. The body of the tower is very high, towering and straight, the eaves hang the corners, there is no charm.
To the north of the tower is the entrance, and to the south is the exit. There were quite a few people under the tower, talking to each other in groups of three or five. At this moment, a young man in white ran out of the exit in embarrassment, looking back uneasily as he ran.
"What floor?" Someone watching the excitement asked.
"The fifth floor." The white-clothed young man gritted his teeth, "I don't believe anyone can pass through that enchantment on the sixth layer. ”
"In history, only three people have passed the sixth layer of the barrier, and after that, it will be difficult to move an inch." Su Lian whispered beside Chen Meng.
"I'll try." Chen Meng took a step and walked towards the entrance of the Canglan Daoyuan Tower.
"Boy! The sixth layer of Qi training, what kind of mess are you filling! Someone in the crowd saw Chen Meng walking towards Daoyuan Tower.
"You've got to have someone try it! One floor or two floors can be regarded as climbing over the tower! ”
It's a common trait of human beings to watch the excitement and not think it's a big deal. Chen Meng didn't bother to take care of the group of people behind him, and stepped into the tower gate by himself.
Suddenly, the stars changed, and Chen Meng came to a room, which was very strange, with bronze walls and flickering torches, which had an eerie taste. Chen Meng's consciousness spread out, just enough to envelop the entire room.
Just as Chen Meng was looking around, a puppet appeared in front of him. The more Chen Meng looked at the puppet, the more familiar he became, and he always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
In the Linglong Immortal Mansion of the Empty Dao Man, isn't the puppet guarding the door exactly the same as the puppet in front of him?
Chen Meng didn't know if it was the puppets made by the ancient monks, or if there was any connection between this Daoyuan Pagoda and the Linglong Immortal Mansion, he raised his hand, and four daggers shot out, one took the puppet's eyebrows, and the remaining three resisted the puppet's neck from three directions.
As Chen Meng guessed, the puppet didn't move. This puppet is a simulation of a real monk, and as long as there is a chance to kill him, the puppet will pass the level by default.
A staircase appeared behind the puppet, and Chen Meng slowly stepped on it, without feeling any enchantment, and reached the second floor smoothly.
But the things on the second layer completely made Chen Meng not calm. Five Thunder Cows!
"Who the hell are you?"
Obviously, it is very likely that the Canglan Daoyuan Pagoda and the Linglong Immortal Mansion in front of him are from the handwriting of one person, and this person is very likely to be the one he has seen many times to sign - the empty real person.
Chen Meng shuddered, and had a feeling that every step of his actions seemed to follow his heart, but in fact, he had already been arranged, and he was just a marionette, step by step on the path that someone wanted him to take.
The five thunder cows were not Chen Meng's enemies in the Linglong Immortal Mansion before, and now they are even more not, the four daggers drew a gentle arc in the air, and the figures of the five thunder cows suddenly dissipated. A staircase appeared in the empty room.
Stepping down the stairs again, it was clear that there was some obstacle to my figure. Fortunately, it was only a slight slowdown, and it did not stop people from moving forward.
When I came to the third floor, I had just stood still, and a sudden change occurred. In his divine sense, three cold arrows suddenly shot out from behind him, flying straight towards his back heart, Chen Meng took a step to the left, dodging the three flying arrows.
Immediately afterwards, flying arrows continued to shoot from all directions, and Chen Meng had to use four daggers to protect himself, holding the Xuantie Sword in his hand, and constantly cutting down the flying arrows shot from all sides.
Despite this, two or three arrows still crossed the layers of protection and hit Chen Meng's body. Fortunately, there is a spiritual weapon to protect the body, except for a little pain, there is no big problem.
When the rain of arrows dissipated, Chen Meng shouted angrily: "Empty dog thief!" Can't you just play something new? ”
