Volume 3 The Shadow of the Heroes of Zhongzhou Rises Chapter 139 There is a city in the Holy Land, and it is difficult to prevent secret arrows
A few days later, Cheng Lin left his dwelling place. Cheng Lin, who walked out of his residence, seemed to have a floating temperament on his body. As if nothing in the world could disturb his heart. If there is one sentence to describe his current state, it is not to be happy with things or to be sad about himself.
Xu Chenglin stood on the mountain, holding a pergola and looking into the distance. The sun was rising and revealing a little purple, and Xu Chenglin, who was full of purple energy, laughed slightly. A new day begins, and something different will happen.
According to Gongsun Jing's guidance, Xu Chenglin walked down the Hundred Refining Peak and walked in the direction of the Spirit Immortal Peak. The holy place where Gongsun Jing said that the impact condensation was located next to the Spirit Immortal Peak.
Cultivating here requires paying a lot of sect contributions. According to Xu Chenglin's thoughts, there shouldn't be too many talents in this place. But the actual situation was beyond his expectations.
On the small hill, according to the trend of the mountain, a lot of stone chambers have been excavated. And not far from these stone chambers, there is a large open space. There are so many stalls in the open space that it seems to have formed a small ashram market.
Looking at the people coming and going in the open space, Xu Chenglin suddenly felt a little trance. I just left the sect for a while, when did there be so many guys with super high contributions from the sect.
With such doubts, Xu Chenglin walked onto the hill. At the foot of the mountain, there are two monks who are specifically responsible for collecting the contributions of the sect, and only those who can afford to pay the contributions of the sect are allowed to go up the mountain.
After paying a lot of contributions to the sect, Xu Chenglin was released. He hadn't taken two steps before he was called back. A monk lazily threw a jade plaque to Xu Chenglin.
"What is this?"
Xu Chenglin frowned and looked at the lazy gatekeeper.
"With this jade plaque, you can choose any one of the stone chambers on the mountain. It's just that the stone chamber that is already occupied by people can't be chosen anymore. Other detailed things will naturally be told to you when you get to the mountain. Let's go, don't disturb my rest. ”
When the monk had finished speaking, he found a protruding stone and leaned up.
Seeing that the monk was reluctant to talk to him, Xu Chenglin was also interested and did not continue to speak. He strode upwards and continued up the hill.
Without rushing to find a place to cultivate, Xu Chenglin first walked to Fang City. As soon as he set foot in Fang City, Xu Chenglin's spirit was stunned. He glanced up and saw at least a dozen people staring at him.
In their eyes, Xu Chenglin did not see malice, but saw the greed of a beast staring at its prey.
"What's going on?"
Before the question in his mind could be asked, someone answered him. I saw a slightly mature monk walking towards him first, smiling and clenching his fists at the few people around him as he walked.
"I look at this junior brother's face very much, I think it's the first time I've come here!"
"That's right, I don't know what this senior brother has to say?"
Seeing that the people came to the point, Xu Chenglin did not hide it, and told the truth directly.
"Eh~ The junior brother has seen the outside, what can be seen but not taught. To be able to meet here shows that everyone is destined. It's just that I saw that my junior brother had some doubts, so I came to solve my junior brother's doubts. ”
"Oh, why does Senior Brother see that I have doubts?
Xu Chenglin was very curious why this person would say such a positive word.
"Hahaha! When the junior brother said this, he really looked down on me and waited. I've been waiting here for a long time, so I know what questions the new monk will have?"
"If that's the case, then ask my brother to help me out. ”
Xu Chenglin smiled slightly and nodded to the visitor.
"Haha! Senior Brother must be wondering now, this place will consume a lot of sect contributions, logically speaking, there will not be too many people, but in fact, there are so many people gathered here. I said, yes and no?"
The old-looking monk looked at Xu Chenglin with a smile on his face.
was guessed what he was thinking, Xu Chenglin's face did not change much, he just smiled and nodded. He was really curious about his doubts being guessed by others, but after the monk's words, Xu Chenglin already understood a little.
"Please also ask my brother to solve my doubts!"
With a slight fist clench, Xu Chenglin looked at the old-looking monk with a smile.
"Haha! The disciples who came for the first time all had this doubt, so I will tell you about it. This holy place was divided separately because of its abundant spiritual power, and it was used as a bottleneck for the disciples of the sect. But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is always a price to pay. A small contribution to the sect is nothing to the sect, but it is a lot to us. The first time I came here, I paid a certain amount of sect contribution, and I was able to stay here for about thirty days. The second or more time you come back, you can only stay for fifteen days. And those of us in the bazaar are not here for the first time. In fact, there are not many people here who have a large number of sect contributions. Everyone is just trading in exchange for some sect contributions, in order to stay here for more time. ”
"Wait, Senior brother, you say, in exchange for the sect's contributions? If I remember correctly, the sect's contributions cannot be exchanged, and it is forbidden to buy and sell. ”
Grasping the key point in his words, Xu Chenglin looked at the old-looking monk with a puzzled expression.
"Don't worry, you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. Sect contributions can't be exchanged, but who says they can't be paid on their behalf?"
"Pay on your behalf?"
Xu Chenglin looked at the bazaar, and then at the people who went down the mountain in twos and threes, and seemed to understand a little.
"I think my junior brother understands a little bit. That's right, we are the sect contributions that we obtained through trading. The monks who come here to practice will consume the elixir on their bodies, and the spirit stones will always be used up. If they leave this place at this time, no matter whether the time is up or not, they will need to pay the sect contribution again when they come in again. Without a single drain, their cultivation speed would be limited. In response to these dilemmas, we were born. They can buy what we have nearby, and in exchange, they pay for the contribution of the sect we enter next time. ”
"I see. I don't know what the price of the materials in your hands is?"
Xu Chenglin's eyes rolled, and he already understood the purpose of the old-looking monk approaching him.
"Haha! Senior brother is really a flexible person, in a word. The price of the materials in our hands is, of course, higher than that outside. It's still the same thing, but it's in a different place, and the price is very high, whether you like to buy it or not. ”
Speaking of which, the long-looking monk was a little complacent.
"What's the difference between you and the robbery? Don't you feel guilty in your hearts?"
Xu Chenglin frowned and looked at the monk with some disgust.
"Haha! What's the shame? Only those who have contributed from the sect will come here to cultivate, and who will come here to cultivate poor ghosts! Besides, we are not unearned, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you and I are just willing. ”
"It's not rough, it does make some sense!"
Xu Chenglin couldn't refute the words of the old-looking monk, after all, this is the truth.
"Yes, the first time the junior brother came back, I didn't know if there was enough material on his body. If it's not enough, I can sell it to you at a low price. If I'm rich, I can recycle it at a high price. ”
"Sure enough, there is nothing to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief. The monk didn't answer me out of any zeal, that was probably his purpose. ”
Xu Chenglin thought so in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Look and see, look and see. Now that I've just arrived here, I'm not used to my cultivation speed. The cultivation materials brought with me may be insufficient, and I may have to buy them from my senior brother when the time comes. ”
"Haha! It's easy to say! That being the case, I won't bother my brother too much. It's a small market, but you might find something good. ”
Seeing that Xu Chenglin did a Tai Chi, the old-looking monk didn't bother him much.
Xu Chenglin just walked around the market for a while, and then he left here. The prices of the things in this bazaar are not only higher than those outside, they are simply outrageously high. Looking back at the sellers in the bazaar, Xu Chenglin no longer regarded them as cultivators.
What kind of cultivator is this, it's obviously a group of leeches, leeches that specialize in sucking human blood. Shaking his head, Xu Chenglin suddenly laughed again.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with these people, it's just to be able to stay here for a while longer. Gentlemen love money and take it in a good way, they are not traitors, why should I discriminate against them!"
Without thinking about it further, Xu Chenglin went directly to the place where the monk was cultivating.
In front of a slightly tall stone room, Xu Chenglin stopped. This stone chamber is the place responsible for the registration of the stone chamber, and only when the records are made in this place can you have the right to choose the stone chamber.
When he stepped inside, he was greeted by an elderly monk with a full head of hair.
"Old man, choose the stone room, but register here?" Xu Chenglin saw that it was an old monk guarding it, and he didn't speak out of respect.
"Well, it's with me, take the jade plate to me to see, and you can choose it if you have no problem. ”
When the old monk heard the voice, he only opened his sleepy eyes. But after seeing Xu Chenglin's face, his eyes lit up silently.
The jade plaque was handed over, and the old man checked it, and then took out a scroll out of nowhere. After opening the scroll, a map of the distribution of the stone chamber appeared in front of Xu Chenglin's eyes.
"Those red places are already inhabited and can no longer be chosen. Those green places, you can choose at will. ”
The old monk pointed to the scroll and said a little lazily.
"Old man, what kind of doorway is there?"
Xu Chenglin quietly took out more than a dozen spirit stones and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the old monk.
The old monk raised his head and smiled meaningfully at Xu Chenglin. Then he silently put the spirit stone into his arms, and his wrinkled face became a ball.
"Of course, there are some doorways! The more you lean to the Spirit Immortal Peak, the more sufficient the spiritual energy will be. If I had to choose, I would choose this place!"
The old monk stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the scroll, eventually stopping at a certain point.
"Well, I'll choose this place. ”
Xu Chenglin did not hesitate at all, and directly chose the place pointed by the old monk.
The old monk didn't say a word, but pressed his finger down, turning the green point of light into red. Then he took out a jade plaque and sang softly.
"The No. 7 stone room is occupied!"
Xu Chenglin took the jade plaque, hugged his fist at the old monk, and turned around and walked towards the cultivation place. Approaching the door, Xu Chenglin happened to meet the old-looking monk he had seen earlier. Xu Chenglin left, and the old monk entered, and the two nodded their heads in acknowledgement.
"Old fellow, you have done a lot of harm! Jiazi No. 7 Stone Chamber, isn't it the stone chamber where the aura is occasionally violent? That guy has offended you?"
The old-looking monk was angry, and looked at the old monk with disgust.
The old monk glanced lightly at the old monk, and then spoke mockingly.
"I'm just sent by a certain noble person from Ling Xiao Peak, this noble person is now cultivating in a certain stone room, if you don't want to die, I advise you to leave this matter alone!"
"Hmph, when are you shameless villains indispensable?"
The old-looking monk was very angry and threw his hand away, because the purpose of his coming here had long been forgotten.
"Hmph! Fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter!"
With a mocking laugh, the old monk slouched back in his chair again.
