Chapter Twenty-Five: Aoba Castle
All the way forward, it didn't take long for the prison to see the tall city walls.
Although he knew that Yin Xuan Valley was thousands of miles away in the north, he didn't know the specific location, so he had to find a city to inquire.
The castle is called "Aoba Castle", and the outside of the castle is already full of refugees, and some officers and soldiers are distributing rice soup.
Rice water...... Rice soup, in fact, only soup, no rice, there is only a little bit of sporadic soup.
There was a long queue outside Aoba Castle, and when it was about to be his turn, he knew that he needed to pay two cents to enter the city at this time, which made it a little difficult to seal the prison.
I only have silver, but I don't have two pennies.
Soon it was his turn, and he hesitated for a moment and took out the broken silver from his arms, anyway, the silver was useless to him, and if he gave more, he would give more.
Just as he was about to stretch out his hand to the officers and soldiers, a hand stopped him.
Looking back, it turned out to be a strong man dressed quite boldly.
The strong man said with a smile on his face: "Brother, I'll give you two pennies, and you can't get back the change if you give the broken silver." ”
Feng looked the strong man up and down, and saw that he was so enthusiastic that it was not easy to refuse, so he took two cents and paid it.
As soon as he entered the city, the strong man shouted to him: "Brother, is there a place to live, do you want to go to my inn to live!"
Feng Jian accidentally glanced at the strong man, but he didn't expect that this person would open an inn at home, and he thought it was a martial arts hall based on his physique.
"In this way, Poor Dao is hereby thanked. After thinking about it, the prison didn't refuse, and the two of them went to the inn one after the other!
............
Along the way, the strong man was quite talkative, and told many things about the prison.
This is the city on the edge of the Lengxiao Kingdom, the old mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the Ye family is the only one in the city.
The officers and soldiers in the city are also quite the private soldiers of the Ye family, but recently I heard what happened to the Ye family, and it was rumored that the Ye family seemed to have suffered a disaster.
As for the reason, the strong man also doesn't know.
After talking for a long time, the strong man talked about the refugees!
It has always been the Ye family who takes money and food for disaster relief, and it takes a month for the government to wait for the approval, and the refugees are not allowed to die after the approval is issued!
Feng Jian nodded, and then asked the question in his heart, why did the refugees hide from themselves, did they know where Yin Xuan Valley was?
The strong man listened to the words, but it was the Tao, because some Taoist priests could often be seen wandering near the corpses outside, which made many refugees a little afraid of Taoist priests.
Hearing this, Feng Prison couldn't help but smile, these Taoist priests should be immortal cultivators, maybe they only have things in the collection of souls or corpses!
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the paradise of evil monks, and this is not a small drought, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts have appeared!
Thinking of this, he was also a little moved by the prison, just looking around for the refugees who had not died for a long time to collect souls, it was still a bit worth the loss for him, after all, cultivation time was very precious.
As for Yin Xuan Valley, the strong man had never heard of it, so he had to shake his head in disappointment.
The two came to the inn during the conversation, and looked up and down the prison, but felt quite satisfied.
Immediately decided to live here again, but he also had something to put on, and it was safe to put spirit stones and other things on his body.
After looking at the room, he gave the money for the room, and prepared to go out to inquire about the Yin Xuan Valley!
............
After a hurried afternoon, no one knew where Yin Xuan Valley was, which was embarrassing to him.
The prison seal also guessed, maybe the name of Yin Xuan Valley was only circulated among immortal cultivators, and it may not be called this name among mortals.
I had to wait to find an immortal cultivator in the city to inquire, but he was not a third-level qi cultivator and couldn't distinguish between an immortal cultivator and a mortal.
At night, he meditated and cultivated cross-legged in prison, holding a spirit stone in his hand.
Now he can be said to have a lot of money, and he cultivates with spirit stones every night, and he can clearly feel the progress every time he cultivates.
It's just that the aura in this city makes him quite dissatisfied, and the aura here is not as good as outside the city.
It had been half a year since he entered the second layer of Qi cultivation, although he didn't know how fast the other cultivators were cultivating.
But he could feel that cultivating with spirit stones like this, coupled with a blessed land with abundant yin qi, would be able to reach the third level of qi cultivation in less than two years.
That is to say, but there is a threshold before entering the third layer of Qi training, which is the so-called bottleneck.
Every monk has such a bottleneck, after all, the third layer of Qi cultivation is the beginning of the immortal family's magical powers, which can resist fire and control water...... Wait a minute!
The bottleneck of the third layer of advanced qi cultivation is basically a problem of state of mind or exercises or foundation, and countless second-level qi cultivation monks cannot advance an inch because of this.
According to the "Yin Gathering Chapter", if he wants to be promoted to the third level of Qi Training, he needs to collect evil qi to refine the body of extreme yin, and it is not a star and a half, it is the kind of evil qi that is condensed in large quantities.
The evil qi in the mountains may be much stronger than in other places, but it is too scattered, so the evil qi in the mountains is better in the long run, suitable for the long flow of fine water, and not suitable for collecting in large quantities.
It's just that where to find evil qi, but it stumped him, so he had to take one step at a time.
............
Early the next morning
Early in the morning, the inn was a little noisy.
Feng Prison frowned, got up from his cultivation, and since he started cultivating, he rarely slept.
When I opened the window, I saw a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper talking to the shopkeeper.
Behind the butler, there were more than a dozen officers and soldiers, as if they wanted to arrest someone.
"Uncle Xu, look at that Taoist priest!" a man who felt a little familiar from the prison pointed at himself and shouted.
He thought about it for a moment, and he remembered the emaciated man he had met yesterday.
Could it be that this is to take revenge on the dismount!
Feng Prison thought so, but there was no expression on his face, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and they would not let him escape.
At this time, I saw that Uncle Xu patted the emaciated man's head, then saluted himself and walked towards the inn.
Seeing this, the prison is a little puzzled, what kind of trouble is this?
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock at the door.
There is no rush to seal the prison!
He sat leisurely on the wooden bench, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then said, "Come in!"
"Crunch!"
Uncle Xu and the emaciated man walked in, and the two bowed to the prison.
Feng Prison nodded and was not in a hurry, waiting for them to speak.
"This Dao Chief, this kid was offended yesterday, and I ask the Dao Master to forgive me!"
The emaciated man on the side exclaimed: "Yesterday was just a test or two, who would have expected that the Taoist chief would have such skills, so why would he pretend to be a Taoist priest." ”
The emaciated man paused and said, "Since you are not pretending to be a ghost, you must have real skills, so I am here to bother you today!"
Feng Jian waved his hand to signal that it was okay, and then asked: "I don't know what the two of you are talking about, don't beat around the bush!"
"This is natural, this time I came to invite the Taoist chief to come to my Ye family to sit!" Uncle Xu said with a smile on his face.
The Ye family?
Could it be the Ye family mentioned yesterday?
What the strong man said yesterday flashed in his mind that the Ye family seemed to have caused disaster!
