CHAPTER XIV

Lu Chenyao didn't find anyone within a radius of 100 miles.

She's just laid the foundation, and she hasn't learned how to fly yet. Lu Chenyao felt that he couldn't run around like a headless fly, so he chose the direction where the sun is now located to the west and searched all the way.

Lu Chenyao went all the way to the west, although he couldn't fly with the sword, but his speed was not slow. After walking for about three hours, I had already swept thousands of miles away. Then he saw a city with high walls.

Lu Chenyao walked around to the gate of the city and saw Canglang City written on the gatehouse.

After handing over ten lower grade spirit stones, Lu Chenyao entered Canglang City.

This is a city that Lu Chenyao has never seen, the market is open and tidy, and there are many commercial buildings on the streets. It is much more prosperous than the towns that Lu Chenyao and the fox met along the way.

Lu Chenyao found an inn and spent thirty lower grade spirit stones to live in. After closing the door, he took out the map of Pingnanzhou and looked at it.

Lu Chenyao found that the place where she originally built the foundation was called Huangzepo, which was a secluded place.

There is no population gathering place around the barren slope, and the adjacent Canglang City in the west is only Tianshui City in the east. According to the map, the Wasteland Slope should be able to serve as a transportation artery between the two cities.

Lu Chenyao thought that he was probably mainly looking for it in these two cities. I suddenly remembered that I had run all the way, and there was no road at all.

Although everyone in the cultivation realm has a more convenient magic sword flying boat and a spirit beast car, they can all fly in the sky. However, no matter how large the monks' gathering place is, there are a large number of mortals, and the mortal people who have no money and power can not afford to sit on the monks' means of transportation when they go out. Whether it is a carriage or a person walking, it will definitely leave footprints.

Lu Chenyao pondered the matter of the lack of a road on the barren slope repeatedly. After dawn, I went out to inquire about the news.

Lu Chenyao had something important in his heart, so naturally he didn't have time to go to a restaurant or teahouse to sit as described in the novel. She directly took a little beggar who claimed to know everything into the alley and told him to give money if he said it was good, and beat people if he tried to deceive her.

The little beggar said with some fear: "Senior, don't worry, I must know everything." ”

Lu Chenyao snorted and asked, "Why don't Canglang City and Tianshui City have roads?"

When the little beggar heard this, he patted his thigh and said, "Hey, I thought you were going to ask, everyone knows this, isn't it just because there is a barren slope in the middle." Don't you know, the barren slope is a famous ghost land, at night it is ten thousand ghosts out of the coffin, I heard that the scene is a ghost squeezing ghosts, ghosts are ghosts. ”

When Lu Chenyao heard this, he said in his heart: Fart, ghosts are squeezing ghosts, where did you put me a few days ago?

Then the little beggar said: "Senior, don't believe it, many people in our Canglang City died there before. Don't go. ”

Lu Chenyao raised his eyebrows: "Why did you die?"

The little beggar said: "In recent years, I accidentally flew there and fell down and couldn't find it, and in the early years, some passers-by disappeared for no reason, saying that they were eaten by ghosts." ”

Lu Chenyao: "......" probably my meat is not fragrant, and I am still alive. She thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you come out alive?"

The little beggar said: "Yes, not everyone has an accident, and many have come back." But there are more people who have accidents, so everyone is not going down this path. They usually make a detour to Jiangliu Town. ”

Lu Chenyao asked suspiciously: "Why do you have a big river here?"

The little beggar was clever, although Lu Chenyao couldn't say it clearly, she still understood what she wanted to ask, probably the female cultivator in front of her was surprised that the names of places near them were all related to water. He replied, "Not now." However, legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, this radius of millions of miles was the sea. ”

Lu Chenyao nodded. Lu Chenyao thought about the female corpse on the barren slope and asked, "Which big families are there in your city?" or rich families. ”

The little beggar looked at Lu Chenyao with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Senior... You?"

Lu Chenyao rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that you want to rob money." It's my important friend who lost it, and it seems to have something to do with rich people......"

The little beggar's face changed, and he said seriously: "Hey, where can I be, my predecessor is upright, how can I think of you like that." ”

Lu Chenyao: "......"

The little beggar continued, "If we want to talk about big families, we have quite a few in the city. The Feng family in the east of the city, the Shi family in the south of the city, and the Yang family in the city are the largest families. And also...... and other twelve small families. ”

Lu Chenyao was dizzy, there were so many suspicious targets, how to find them?

The little beggar was still saying, "By the way, there is also the City Lord's Mansion that is also considered a big family." There are more rich people......"

Lu Chenyao hurriedly shouted to stop, and he also found that it was useless to ask these questions. Finally, he asked: "Do you know that there is a rich lady with soft characters in her name?"

The little beggar shook his head and said, "Which lady's name is everywhere?" ”

Lu Chenyao couldn't, so she had to say to the little beggar: "I'm done asking, I'll give you ten spirit stones, and you can help me inquire next, if there are any richer people in this Canglang City, there are fewer women." Then I will be grateful. ”

The little beggar happily agreed, and happily ran away with the spirit stone.

Lu Chenyao was at a loss, and finally felt that he had come, so he should look for it in Canglang City first.

It took Lu Chenyao three days to make herself even more desperate. Judging from the information fed back by Lu Chenyao and the little beggar, there seems to be no news about the identity of the female corpse.

Lu Chenyao seriously recalled the little beggar's words and decided to go up the barren slope again. Lu Chenyao secretly decided in his heart: The ghost who can eat people, if he dares to be unfavorable to the fox, it is the ghost who will make it die again...... But fox meat isn't tasty......

Anyway, let's find out the ghost first.

Lu Chenyao decided and went to the monk's shop.

"Boss, how can you sell a thousand flame burst talismans?" Lu Chenyao stood in a grocery store called Changsheng Shop, and said to a middle-aged man who was so fat that he was not a buddy in the store at first glance.

The fat man was very kind, and when he heard someone greet him, he came over with a smile and squinted his eyes: "Does the fairy want a fire explosion charm, a first-order fire explosion charm with five spirit stones, if you really want more, I can give you a discount for the little shopkeeper." ”

Lu Chenyao frowned and said, "Why is it so expensive?"

The fat shopkeeper was not angry, and said with a smile: "Fairy, this is a penny for nothing." Our prosperous shops have opened all over Pingnanzhou. ”

Lu Chenyao didn't care, thinking to himself, at least I haven't heard of it in Kunshan. However, Lu Chenyao didn't talk to him verbosity, and said directly: "Then I'll give it a try first, it's really worth so much money." ”

The fat shopkeeper smiled: "If you really want a thousand, our store will give you a free trial." If you are not satisfied after the trial and do not buy again, then we have to charge you five spirit stones...... You see......"

Lu Chenyao pinched the flame explosion talisman in his hand with obviously smoother lines, checked it and said, "It's okay."

The fat shopkeeper took her to the backyard. Lu Chenyao used his spiritual power and threw the flame explosion talisman that had entered the spiritual energy hard.

There was a loud bang. Lu Chenyao looked at the pile of wood that was burned into slag in an instant, and a large piece of blackened soil, and felt that the shopkeeper was not deceiving. Although the place of trial is smaller, the power has been seen.

Lu Chenyao turned his head to look at the fat shopkeeper, but found that he was looking at the burned wood with a tearless expression. Lu Chenyao looked at the ashes again inexplicably, could it be that the shopkeeper wanted to blackmail me for money?
