"According to the rules of the gang, Zhou Daoyou can take one or two monks to live in the gang for a short time, but they have to be inspected by the deacons. Zhuang Xiaolu explained.

"Thank you Brother Zhou for your kindness, it's better for me to stay at the Four Seas Inn, so as not to go to the gang and disturb your two-person world. Ding Yi shook his head.

Zhuang Xiaolu blushed and lowered her head, while Zhou Xiang reprimanded: "Virtuous brother, don't talk too much about jokes!

"Okay, let's get down to business, this Guan Jiucheng is really good, I went shopping for a day yesterday, and there are many things that are not available in other districts, and you can still buy Mudingmen's pills on the black market nearby, but the price is a little high. ”

Ding Yi smiled, then changed the subject: "I heard that this city seems to be quiet and peaceful on the surface, but secretly it is controlled by the four major gangs, in addition to your Loyal Bone Gang, there are also the Five Tiger Gang, the Grass Farmer Gang and the Scattered Cultivators, each of whom has a strong force behind them. Especially the Loyal Bone Gang and the Five Tiger Gang, the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, beware of each other and calculating each other, Brother Zhou, you have to be careful. ”

"It's just that the chambers of commerce run each other for profit, and I've seen this kind of thing a lot when I travel in other districts, and there will be no major conflicts. Zhou Xiang said disdainfully.

"I hope I'm too careful!" Ding Yi responded, and glanced at Zhuang Xiaolu by the way.

"Zhou Protector can't be careless!" Zhuang Xiaolu reminded Zhou Xiang when he saw that he didn't care, "Do you remember the day when my gang was attacked in the wild?"

"Remember!" Zhou Xiang nodded.

"The people who attacked us are the Five Tiger Gang! Although the four major gangs are calm on the surface, there are countless things that actually kill them behind the scenes, so Zhou Protector must also be very careful in the city, the people of the Five Tigers Gang can do anything!" Zhuang Xiaolu reminded with concern.

"The Five Tigers Gang and the Loyal Bone Gang are both chambers of commerce, and it should be normal for everyone to have some competition in business, how can they still make trouble to the point of fighting to the death?

"Zhou Protector doesn't know anything, but in fact, the root cause lies in the forces behind the four major gangs. Take our Loyal Bone Gang as an example, the force behind it is naturally the Immortal Charm Sect, and behind the Five Tigers Gang is the Divine Hunting Pavilion, not to mention the Mu Ding Sect behind the Grass Farmer Gang and the Guan Jiu City City Lord behind the Scattered Cultivators. These major forces are harmonious on the surface, but secretly they have put the battlefield in Guanjiu City, and the lives of people in the gang are not worth anything in their eyes, and they are not as important as a little face, so it happens almost every day that people take their lives for the sake of a little thing. ”

"Although the Five Tigers and the Loyal Bone Gang have been fighting for hundreds of years, they have killed and injured tens of thousands of people in each other, but they have not declined, mainly because of the continuous replenishment of the two major forces. Even if you and I fall, there will be a new deacon or gang leader in office soon, so as long as the forces behind it are always there, the status quo of the four major gangs in Sekihato City will not change. ”

Zhuang Xiaolu explained: "I am actually an outer disciple of the Immortal Charm Sect, a few years ago, Deacon Wang of the Loyal Bone Gang was plotted by the Five Tigers Gang, so he was sent to fill the vacancy. ”

"I see!" Zhou Xiang nodded, as if he understood something.

Listening to Deacon Zhuang's words, Ding also understood a little. Ding Yi spoke, "It's just that I heard that this Immortal Charm Sect and the Divine Hunting Pavilion were extremely good sects thousands of years ago, and it seems that there is also a huge force of the Sanqing Sect that also exists in the Muyang District. Back then, the Immortal Charm Sect and the Divine Hunt Pavilion joined forces to destroy the Sanqing Gate to make the Muyang District a three-legged situation, but why are they on the same page now?"

"This!" Zhuang Xiaolu glanced at Zhou Xiang, and when he saw that he was also looking at himself intently, his heart jumped, and he couldn't help but talk more, "It's nothing more than a matter of benefit distribution." The two factions can fight the enemy together, but they may not be able to divide the results equally. I heard that after the war, the two factions fought because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, especially when it came to the Sanqing Gate, and I heard that even the Avatar Monk had a big battle for this. ”

"The Divine Hunting Pavilion and the Immortal Charm Sect have since parted ways, and the two factions have divided the original territory of the Sanqing Gate into two, and a transition area with a width of hundreds of miles has been drawn in the middle, which can be regarded as clarifying the basic boundaries. Although the monks of the two factions would often organize people to go to the transitional zone from time to time to hunt for treasures, and after encountering, they would fight to the death, but the big battles were basically gone, and this situation has remained until now. ”

Speaking of this, Zhuang Xiaolu took a sip of spiritual tea: "Because of its location, Guan Jiucheng is allowed to exist under the balance of forces of all parties in Muyang District. The four major gangs are naturally also the product of balance, on the one hand, several major forces want to use Guan Jiucheng to communicate with each other, and on the other hand, they continue to fight openly and secretly, so the current status quo has been created. ”

Sneaking a glance at Zhou Xiang, Zhuang Xiaolu added: "Every few years, a competition will be held in Guan Jiu City, and the four gangs will send people to participate, but the other two factions are not like the Five Tigers Gang and the Loyal Bone Gang in the competition. So over the years, the competition conference has actually become an open battle between the Five Tigers Gang and the Loyal Bone Gang, this time the gang leader hired Zhou Protector with some bad intentions, he must have hoped that you can stand out for the Loyal Bone Gang in the next competition meeting, and everyone is good if you win, and if you lose, it is just a loss of a foreign monk. So Protector Zhou, be careful yourself, if you really can't do it, I can come forward to help you leave the Loyal Bone Gang. After speaking, she looked at Zhou Xiang, and her eyes were a little tangled.

"That's it!" Zhou Xiang was a little surprised, stunned for a few breaths, and then looked at Zhuang Xiaolu's concerned eyes, and then seemed to have made some kind of determination.

"Xiaolu, you introduced me into the gang, and it seems that you can't stand it if you leave without a fight, so Zhou should stay. I have to help the Loyal Bone Gang talk about the rest after the fight. ”

Zhuang Xiaolu's eyes flashed when he heard this, and a smile appeared on his face: "Protector Zhou can think about Xiaolu, Xiaolu is very grateful, don't worry, I will talk about the competition to the helper, even if I really get involved, Xiaolu will never let Protector Zhou have anything to do!"

"What can he do?" Ding Yi said on the side, "This kid has the ability to fight if he can beat and run away if he can't beat him." ”

"You kid, you can survive the catastrophe if you don't speak!" Zhou Xiang scolded.

All three laughed.

"I take the liberty of asking, does Ding Daoyou have any plans in the future?" Zhuang Xiaolu changed his words, "Protector Zhou has already joined our Loyal Bone Gang, why don't Ding Daoyou also join in, so that the two of you can also take care of each other." ”

"Haha! I'm a person who is idle and wild, and I can't stand it, but well, I still have to stay in Guan Jiucheng for a while, at least until I finish watching the excitement of the Fighting Law Conference you said. Ding Yi refused with a smile.

"That's a pity!" Zhuang Xiaolu shook his head and sighed.

"In this Guan Jiu City, apart from your four major gangs, are there any forces or monks that cannot be provoked? I want to find out in advance, so as not to accidentally encounter them when I wander around these days. Ding Yi asked with interest.

"You're really right!" Zhuang Xiaolu replied, "The most popular phrase in Guan Jiucheng over the years is 'Mo Shao Pang Liu, look at the wind and leave.'" In Guan Jiu City, everything is in your hands!', it means that the four monks in the city who cannot be messed with, even if they hear the news of these four people, they must leave immediately, and they must not be idle in Guan Jiu City. ”

"I want to hear it!" Zhou Xiang was also a little curious.

"The 'Mo Shao Pang Liu' in this sentence is said to have four surnames, corresponding to four people: Mo Wuxian, Shao Youde, Pang Xiaoze and Liu Jingjing. The highest cultivation of these four people is only in the late stage of foundation building, but the forces behind them are second to none. ”

"Among them, Mo Wuxian is the direct descendant of Mo Changfeng in the late stage of the Elder Elder God of the Divine Hunting Pavilion; Shao Youde is the grandson of the leader of the Grass Farmer Gang, and it is rumored that he is related to the head of the Muding Sect; Pang Xiaoze is the grandson of the city lord; and Senior Sister Liu Jingjing and Liu are the great-great-great-granddaughters of the Elder Taishang of our Immortal Charm Sect! Although she is not very well regarded by the Elder Taishang in the sect, she has another identity, that is, Elder Wu Taishang is the future Taoist companion of the great-grandson Wu Fang. ”

"Wu Fang's status is noble, and it is rumored that he will inevitably take over the position of head in the future, but he doesn't often come to Guan Jiu City, so Liu Jingjing has become the representative of my Immortal Charm Sect in this city. These four people are absolutely unprovoked existences in Guan Jiu City. However, they spend half of their time at home cultivating, so most of the time they can't meet four people in Guan Jiu City. ”

"But in addition to them, there are many monks who come here to hang out, and many of them are people of special status. In addition, Guan Jiu City is the junction of the three major forces, and many monks who are extremely vicious or whose identities are not visible are also hidden here. These people are generally stunts and ruthless, so 'in the city, everything is up and down.' That's why don't be blind when you encounter things in Guan Jiu City, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble and lead to death. ”

"I see!" Zhou Xiang and Ding Yi nodded again and again. In addition to the three major forces and the four major gangs, Guan Jiu City is also a gray area in the cultivation world, where all kinds of monks gather here, and it has become a treacherous place where dragons and snakes are entrenched.

The three of them chatted again, and Zhou Xiang and Ding Yi began to talk about what they had seen and heard in other districts, but Zhuang Xiaolu, who was confined to Muyang District, was stunned for a moment, and had the urge to travel immediately.

After having fun, the three of them paid the spirit stone out of the restaurant, continued to wander around the city, and unconsciously came to a small square near the Sihai Inn where Ding Yi lived, where there were many monks who set up stalls, some of them shook their heads and shouted loudly, and some put things on the table just to meditate, waiting for the wisher to take the bait.

Zhou Xiang's divine sense was powerful, and with only a slight sweep, most of the things in the square came into his mind, and after finding that there was nothing special, he withdrew his divine sense.
