Chapter 207: The Beginning
Han Fan followed Gegra as he looked down at the black beads in his hand.
What surprised Han Fan himself was that after experiencing the blow of being abused before, he didn't feel too uncomfortable in his heart.
He thought back to his previous self, and when he encountered the same situation, he would definitely be decadent for a while.
I don't know when it started, but I seem to have strengthened a lot.
Although there will still be the pain and confusion of being abused, but after all, I am bent on becoming stronger.
"Master, where are we going next?" asked Han Fan expectantly.
On the premise of not having to pay the price of his life, he can see the exercises of the disciples of the major sects in the Western Underworld, which is a matter of making money and not losing money.
As for the abuse, Han Fan is completely acceptable.
"There's no next stop. Gergra said.
"What?" Han Fan didn't react.
"That's the end of it, and you need to walk the rest of the way. Gegra patted Han Fan on the shoulder again.
This action of the master always reassures him. But this time, Han Fan didn't feel at ease at all.
What's next?
"Master, you ......" Han Fan suddenly didn't know what to say.
"You're going to have to hit the road yourself. Gergra stopped, turned around, and looked at him earnestly.
Where was the next stop and what he was going to do, Han Fan didn't have a clue.
"Do you want to stay in the Western Underworld or go to the Eastern Underworld?" asked him.
Han Fan looked at Gegra and didn't know what to say for a while.
The silence went on.
Han Fan originally thought that he had grown a lot, and thought that he could face failure calmly, he thought that he would be more qualified to follow his master, but he didn't expect the parting to be so sudden.
Gegra also sensed Han Fan's state, didn't wait for him to answer, and didn't ask any more questions.
The two continued walking, without saying a word all the way.
Until a majestic giant city appeared in his sight, Han Fan's attention was attracted to it.
"This is one of the three giant cities in the Western Underworld: Yuncheng. ”
Along the way, Han Fan's mood recovered a little.
I thought that the city of the underworld would be called a city like Night City and the City of Bones, but I didn't expect it to be like this...... Feminization.
Isn't Yun a common word in women's names?
With his thoughts, Han Fan's mood also improved a lot.
The city was defended by several black-robed monks, each carrying a life-tall scythe with a crescent-shaped blade almost half a man's height on his back.
Han Fan had never figured out what the advantages of this weapon were, not to mention the inconvenience of wielding it due to its large size, and the original shape of the scythe had already limited its moves.
For example, the bayonet style of the sword, the scythe obviously does not have.
When he entered the city, he saw that the monks in front of him would show a token, and Han Fan finally spoke: "Master, do we have a token?"
"Tokens, what's that?" Gergra did have quite a few tokens in his bag. Tokens made of rare materials are complex to make and are worth a lot of money. But what's even more crazy is what it represents.
Every token taken out is enough to alarm the world.
After searching for tips with his consciousness, he found that there was indeed no corresponding entry token.
"Nope. Gegra replied calmly.
"No?" Han Fan was stunned.
He originally thought that the existence of the master, even if he went to such a huge city, the city lord would come out to greet him in person, but the city lord didn't see it and didn't say anything, and it became a problem to enter the city.
"Just walk in. Gergra said as a matter of course.
The two walked in openly, and the guards turned a blind eye.
In fact, among the randomly stacked tokens in Gegra's bag, one of them belongs to Yuncheng. It was a token engraved with Yun given to him by the city lord back then, and the person who owned this token had equal power with the city lord.
Gergra only glanced at the color shapes and didn't notice what was engraved on the token. He didn't care much about these things, he really didn't.
After entering the city, Han Fan's attention was completely attracted by this prosperous and novel city.
The layout and materials of the buildings in the city are completely different from those in the vertical and horizontal regions, where most of the defensive shops in the city are yellowish and dark gray, while most of the buildings in the Yuncheng in the underworld are white.
There are also a small number of buildings that are bright red, all of which are eye-catching colors.
In addition to the color, the materials used in the buildings in Yuncheng are not taken from wood. In the underworld, wood is a very precious material, and by all means, it cannot be called a material.
Due to the geographical location, the vegetation of the underworld rarely survives, so the forests and trees that represent life are particularly valued by the monks of the underworld.
It has always been rare and precious, and for wood, because it is more valuable to live than to die, and wood has no essential use in the underworld, everyone is consciously or unconsciously protecting the few greens in the underworld.
This made Han Fan unable to understand the truth of this. It stands to reason that the style of the underworld shouldn't be dark and black?
Because whether it is the underworld or the vertical and horizontal realm, everyone is a monk of the human race. Although there will be deviations in customs, hobbies, habits, tastes, etc., the fundamental points are the same.
In the city, there are all kinds of vendors, restaurants, teahouses, casinos, and green houses that Han Fan can be familiar with. There is little difference between the facilities and the vertical and horizontal domains.
But the difference is that the things these vendors sell are new enough.
"In the underworld, there is nothing more serious than human trafficking. Gergra suddenly said something irrelevant.
"Human trafficking?" Han Fan was curious, although he had not seen it with his own eyes in the Vertical and Horizontal Domain, he had more or less heard of it, and in the Vertical and Horizontal Domain, such things were very common.
In the gray zone, human trafficking is as much as there are tricks sold on the streets.
"The Underworld attaches great importance to the monks themselves, especially the monks of the Underworld, because of their scarcity, they value themselves even more. Under the influence of this culture, human trafficking is absolutely prohibited. Gergra reminded.
This was the first time Gegra took the initiative to remind him, and Han Fan remembered it firmly.
"What would happen if we did?" Han Fan suddenly became curious.
"Will be hunted down and killed by all the monks of the underworld, and will not die. Gergra said lightly.
Han Fan shrunk his neck, he would never do this kind of thing himself, and now he has been chased and killed by all the people in the Vertical and Horizontal Domains, and if he is chased and killed by all the people in the Underworld, there is really no way to live.
"Have you thought about it?" Gegra suddenly asked Han Fan.
"What?"
"Whether to stay in the Western Underworld or return to the Eastern Underworld. Gergra patiently repeated.
"Isn't this all there?" Han Fan asked rhetorically.
Gergra laughed and didn't continue.
This is also his purpose for coming here.
The master leads the way and practices in the individual. This way, Gegra took Han Fan to meet all the bigwigs of the underworld. No matter which piece of land Han Fan sets foot on the underworld, he will be taken care of accordingly.
Gergra had used almost all of his connections, and had agreed to the same conditions as the Styx.
Everything that needs to be done has been done, and the rest of the way is really up to Han Fan to go by himself.
"Master, you ...... When are you leaving?" Han Fan's excitement just now fell.
"Leave tomorrow and stay another day. Gegra patted Han Fan on the shoulder.
"Where am I going next? What should I do. Han Fan didn't even know what he was going to do next.
"If you don't know what to do, just think about your parents who are still in the Underworld, do you think they will give up when you come to the Underworld?" asked Gergra earnestly.
"This ......" Han Fan thought of his parents, and his originally confused mood suddenly found a belonging.
"Now you know what you're supposed to do!" said the familiar smirk under Gergra's mask.
Han Fan didn't notice, "Got it." He replied earnestly.
The two came to a restaurant. Located in an alley on the main street, the restaurant is only two floors old and has a quaint building, but its remote location gives it a sense of being hidden in the city.
The two of them went up to the second floor and sat down by the window.
Gegra asked for a pot of wine and a few signature dishes.
"It's been years, and it's still the same. He sighed.
Han Fan looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly froze, he stared at the people coming and going in the town by the window, and turned his head to look at the master.
This scene is familiar to him.
I still remember when I was in Xinghua Town, when I hadn't stepped into the cultivation world. Han Jun took the bun and came to sit opposite him, the same master and apprentice, the same position by the window.
For a while, Han Fan couldn't tell whether this was reality or memory.
It's as if it's back to square one.
When the food was served, Gegra picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of meat that was still steaming hot and fragrant and sent it to his mouth.
"What do you want? Gergra tapped the plate with his chopsticks.
Han Fan was awakened by this crisp voice, shook his head, and looked at Gegra.
"I remembered that when I hadn't stepped into the cultivation world, I went to a sect to take the test, and the ethereal spirit stone used in that sect to test my comprehension was of very low grade, and I was originally a first-class comprehension, but I was tested to be a sixth-level comprehension. Han Fan spoke eloquently.
"Do you still have this kind of experience?" Gegra's definition of Han Fan is a genius who has been smooth sailing since the beginning of his cultivation, but he didn't expect that there was an oolong who measured the first-level comprehension into the sixth-level comprehension.
"Yes, later my qualifications were still enough to join, that sect was called the Changping Sword School, I really wanted to practice swords, but I felt that Confucianism and Taoism were the foundation of my life, so I gave up that place. ”
"You didn't know you were gifted. Gergra asked.
"I don't know, after the test, I thought I was mediocre, but what I wanted to do would not change. It was by the window on the second floor of my tavern that I met the man who had led me to the world of rehabilitation. Speaking of this, Han Fan showed a trace of remembrance.
"No wonder. Gegra instantly understood Han Fan's state.
If it were him, the reappearance of such a scene is also a very nostalgic thing.
