Chapter 193: Mountains and Forests

Lu Mo opened his mouth at this time and asked Lu Tiancheng, "You are a monk who has been in the Expulsion City since birth, right?"

Lu Tiancheng nodded and said: "My father used to be a tent of the Wang family in the north of the city, but after the Wang family was destroyed by the Ye family, I was taken away by the Ye family and became their private hired laborers. ”

"Boxing Market?" Qin Wen couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Isn't the Boxing Market a place for competitions, and what are the rules of the Boxing Market in this place?"

Before Lu Tiancheng could answer, Lu Mo next to him explained: "The boxing market in the City of Expulsion has a long history, and I don't know exactly when it was dated, but most of the people who came to power in the past were monks who were used to wandering outside, and if they won the game, or were favored by a certain big family, they would be called into the door to be stewards or worship, and they would be paid every month, and they would get some skills, which was still more cost-effective." ”

Qin Wen frowned slightly at this time and asked Lu Tiancheng: "According to this, the boxing market is also a way to advance, so why are you unwilling to participate?"

Lu Tiancheng shook his head and said: "What this monk just said was the previous boxing market, and now the Ye family occupies the market of the boxing market, in order to attract more people to watch, he has added many low-level monk competitions on the basis of the previous ones, these competitions are endless, and there is only one person who wins Zuihou, and even dies together, so that there will be more people who come to watch." ”

"At the beginning, they all used spirit stones and skills to lure people in the mountains and forests to participate in the competition, but after a few sessions. The competition in the middle was too fierce, so gradually no one was willing to participate even if they increased their chips, and the Ye family began to send people to the mountains to catch monks. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, and Lu Tiancheng had the courage to ask at this time, "Aren't you monks from the Expulsion City?"

Qin Wen shook his head and said, "We have indeed just arrived in the City of Expulsion. But it's not that I'm going to pass through here, but I'm going to stay here for a while. ”

Lu Tiancheng turned around and glanced at the seven people of Qin Wen, and saw that Ao Yu and Qin Wen were both monks in the Xuan Master realm, and there were also Xuan Shi and Xuan disciple monks behind them, presumably the master should have brought a few disciples from the sect to travel here, so he hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't tell a few people, this expulsion city is really too chaotic, if you want to travel, you can go to other places." Although I have never been out of the desert, I have heard my father once say that there is a Purple Cloud Mountain Range in the southernmost part of the country, which is the most famous holy place for cultivation. ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but smile slightly: "We are from the Purple Cloud Mountain Range," As soon as his words came to this, Lu Mo looked at Lu Tiancheng vigilantly and said: "Qin Danshi, now that we have inquired about what he said, since we have rescued him, let's let him go." ”

Lu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment and said, "A few benefactors, your great grace in rescuing me is unforgettable. But now, if I leave by myself, I will definitely be arrested by the Ye family. "Talking. He looked embarrassed.

Qin Wen pondered for a moment and said, "Since you don't want to leave, it just so happens that we are also new to this place, so you can explain the specific situation to us and where it is safer." ”

Lu Mo hurriedly shook his head and said, "Master Qin, we can't trust the people of this expulsion city casually, maybe he will be able to reveal our details for a piece of spirit stone at that time." Besides, the Ye family he provoked is obviously a relatively large family, if they find out that we are sheltering this person, it is a bit inappropriate to form a grudge just here. ”

When Lu Tiancheng heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "I'm definitely not the kind of villain who forgets his righteousness, if you don't believe it." I can swear that if I do the slightest detrimental act to your benefactors, I will die by thunder. ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "I don't need you to swear, we just take you out of here temporarily, and when you have a suitable place to go, you can go by yourself, but we just came here and want to inquire about the situation for you, Han Duan, give him a change of clothes in your storage bag, and wrap the headscarf lower, it is estimated that the people of the Ye family will not recognize you." ”

Han Duan casually took out a set of half-worn clothes from his storage bag and handed them to Lu Tiancheng, after Lu Tiancheng took the clothes, he went to the hidden place of the big tree next to him to throw away his rotten clothes, changed his clothes, wrapped himself in a headscarf according to what Qin Wen said, washed his face in the stream next to him, and when he returned to Qin Wen's side, everyone saw that he was basically a different person, so they let him follow with confidence.

From the eyes of the man in black just now, Qin Wen could see that this place was indeed a naked predator of the jungle, and there was no restriction of laws and regulations at all, if there were no monks in the realm of Xuanshi at that time, maybe the man in black would have given an order to arrest them all and send them to the boxing market, after all, it could be seen at a glance that they were strangers who had just come here, so Qin Wen took the risk of leaving Lu Tiancheng, and there was a local who knew the roots, which could avoid a lot of trouble.

Everyone kept walking along the mountains and forests to the north, and Qin Wen asked Lu Tiancheng as he walked: "In addition to the Ye family, are there any larger families in the Expulsion City?"

Lu Tiancheng knew that answering the question now was the key to whether he could follow these people out of the mountains and forests, so he said with a respectful expression on his face: "The Ye family is not big in the Expulsion City, he is just a middle-to-upper-class family among the monk families left over from before, living in the southwest of the Expulsion City. ”

Qin Wen frowned slightly and said, "Which is the largest family in the Expulsion City?"

Lu Tiancheng knew that Qin Wen had misunderstood his answer, so he pondered his sentence and said: "The expulsion city is not controlled by the family now, but is divided into three parts, which are jointly controlled by the demons in the northern city, the remnant monks in the western city, and the expelled monks in the eastern city. ”

Qin Wen nodded slightly, he had also talked to Lu Mo about these things on the way here, although it was said that Lu Mo had been away from here for hundreds of years, but the general pattern of the Expulsion City had not changed, the demon clan in the northern city was left over from the time when Bai Xuan was driven into the Demon Realm, of course, including the demon cultivators like Lu Mo who escaped from the Demon Realm in nine deaths.

The remaining monks in Xicheng are mainly the descendants of the expelled monks in the early years, and among the expelled monks of that year, some of them had a high level of profoundness and multiplied here, collected disciples, and eventually formed a family, while the expelled monks in Dongcheng only ran from the Ziyun Mountains or the Great Qi and Hu tribes in recent years, and they could only form a group by themselves without the support of the family.

In addition to their own fights, these three shili also have intricate connections and contradictions inside, Lu Mo has seen dozens of new families rise within ten years, of course, more have been wiped out, this is a chaotic place in itself, if you want to survive here, it is impossible to rely on force alone.

After listening to Lu Tiancheng's analysis, Qin Wen knew that it was a right choice for him to leave this local, after all, Lu Tiancheng was also a descendant of the remnant monks, and he knew a lot of secrets about the Expulsion City since he was a child, which was very beneficial for him to integrate into this place.

Thinking of this, Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked, "Then if a monk like us who has just arrived, where is it safer to live?"

Lu Tiancheng thought for a while and said: "Most of the expelled monks live in Dongcheng, in comparison, the population flow in Dongcheng is relatively large, but most of the inns there have high-level monks as backstage, generally speaking, it is safer there, but the price is higher, even if it is an ordinary inn room, it will cost a low-grade spirit stone for one night." ”

This price is not worth mentioning for Qin Wen, he now casually takes out a spar from the Qiankun Pearl, which is enough for all people to live for decades, but it is much more expensive than Daqi, it should be a means for those high-level monks to collect money, and the monks who have just come here will first live in the inn for a period of time in order to check the situation, and when the spirit stones they brought are almost consumed, they should go out or work, or rob to maintain their future lives.

In this way, Qin Wen and the others took Lu Tiancheng for a few more days before they passed through the entire mountain forest, next to a felled tree, Qin Wen saw a patch of crops, some overseers were lying leisurely under the big trees to rest, and in the field were hungry yellow-faced and thin-skinned hired workers working, Qin Wen knew that this should be the private field in Lu Mo's mouth.

A few overseers sensed the arrival of Qin Wen's people, so they turned around slightly to check, and saw that it was a group of monks they didn't know, so they continued to chat and rest, at this time, Lu Tiancheng was instinctively afraid, and hid beside Qin Wen, Qin Wen smiled faintly and said: "Don't be afraid, they can't recognize you now." ”

Walking along the road of private fields all the way to the north, down a hillside, what appeared in front of Qin Wen's eyes was a wide plain, almost more than 10,000 hectares, Qin Wen couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "There are so many fields here, how far is the expulsion city?"

Lu Mo also said with some hesitation: "How can I get so many fields now, when I was here before, the private land was less than 5,000 hectares. ”

Lu Tiancheng pointed to a black spot at the end of the land and said, "That place is the city of expulsion, if we walk at our speed, it will be there in two or three days." (To be continued......)
