Chapter 5 Yuanchengfang City
Yuanchengfang City is the closest monk trading place to Xiaobie Mountain, the Fang City is not big, built on the mountain, only some low-level monks in the Qi refining period will trade here, there are not many monks on weekdays, and recently the Nine True Alliance has been in turmoil, and the monks here are becoming more and more rare.
Chen Yun and his entourage looked at the few stone houses that were faintly visible in the distance, and their hearts were extremely happy. Two days ago, they set out from Xiaobie Mountain, and they finally arrived here in the shortest possible time after traveling day and night, and they did not meet those monks of the Nine True Alliance along the way, which can be regarded as a thrilling situation.
Chen Yun stood on the top of the mountain, beckoned everyone to rest for a while, and waited until his mental state and mana were at their best before entering the Fang City.
"Feng'er, you've been in a hurry for the past two days, can you still eat?" Wang Wan walked over and greeted with concern.
Chen Feng smiled at his mother and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Don't worry, mother, this road is nothing, I can hold on, don't forget, I'm now a monk of the eighth layer of qi refining, and Grandpa Zhao doesn't train me like this on weekdays!"
"Well, that's fine, but you have too little experience in going out, so it's better to learn more from your senior brother, and you can ask him if you have any questions. ”
Chen Feng glanced at Wu Li, who was talking happily with his father next to him, and was vigilant in his heart, but nodded obediently on the surface.
Wu Li also heard Wang Wan's order, and immediately said: "Don't worry, master, I'll take good care of Feng'er for a while!"
Wang Wan is a smart person, he found out a long time ago that there were many misunderstandings between Chen Feng and Wu Li, and he always wanted to mediate their relationship, but in the end, it was always like this, and they were vague by their brothers and sisters, so he sighed, looked between Chen Feng and Wu Li with deep meaning, and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, the group set off again for Yuanchengfang City, which was not far away. There were five people in Chen Yun's entourage, and only the old man surnamed Zhao and an enshriner in the late stage of Qi refining were left to guard at home, so they had to complete the transaction as soon as possible and return home to prevent anything from happening.
When the group walked into the market and saw the mottled and declining scene, their hearts gradually sank to the bottom. There is no figure to be seen in the whole market, the doors of all the shops are closed, the ground is full of dead leaves, and no one has cleaned it for a long time, just like walking into a deserted village, depressed and dilapidated.
"Father, what happened, how did Fang City become like this?"
Chen Yun's face was solemn, and he shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
"You guys first find a place to stay, don't wander around, I'll go in and find out if there are any monks inside, and I'll be back immediately!"
Wang Wan didn't say anything, and a worried look appeared on her face. It wasn't until Chen Yun's figure completely disappeared that Wang Wan came back to her senses.
"Let's go, let's go to the courtyard we rented before, the situation here is not clear, it is not the best strategy to stay rashly, leave a mark for the husband, he will find it!"
Now that Chen Yun is leaving, Wang Wan's cultivation is the highest, and naturally no one disobeys her idea. The group quickly left the place and walked into a secluded path next to it. All that remains is an empty and desolate market.
The courtyard that Wang Wan said is a stone courtyard located on the edge of Yuanchengfang City, the stone courtyard is not simple and rough, that is, it is surrounded by a circle of large bluestones with a height of people, and it is more than enough to accommodate a few of them. By the time Wang Wan and the others had settled down properly, and then reactivated the defensive prohibition here, it was already an hour later.
Avoiding the eyes of others, Chen Feng pulled Wang Wan to a secluded place and asked with a little worry.
"Mother, why hasn't my father come back after going for so long?"
Wang Wan patted Chen Feng on the shoulder and signaled Chen Feng not to worry.
"Don't worry, Feng'er, with your father's cultivation, not to mention dominating the side in this area, there is no problem in self-preservation. He should deal with other things, don't think about it!"
"Well, I hope so!"
As soon as the words fell, a clear fluctuation of prohibition came, which made everyone in the room happy.
"Look, your father is back!"
When the two of them quickly arrived in the hall of the house, Chen Yun was already sitting in the main seat of the hall and was pondering.
Wu Li casually glanced at Chen Feng and Wang Wan, stepped forward and asked Chen Yun:
"Master, how's the situation?"
"Yes, head of the house, how is the situation?"
Everyone's eyes focused on Chen Yun's body.
Chen Yun looked around, his expression was complicated, with a relaxed and slightly bitter expression.
"Don't worry, everyone, the situation is not as bad as we imagined, nothing big happened here, it's just that the matter of the Nine True Alliance caused panic some time ago, and no monk dared to stay here, and they all fled. ”
The thing that everyone was most worried about did not happen, and they were temporarily relieved in their hearts, but the worship Wang Jing couldn't help but say pessimistically.
"Master of the family, in this case, I'm afraid we have no way to continue trading!"
Chen Yun nodded solemnly.
"This is also what I want to say, since Wang Xianfeng said it, I won't repeat it, now I want to solicit everyone's opinions, should I continue to stay here and wait for the other monks to come back or change to a Fang City?"
Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't make up their minds when they thought left and right. Wang Jing coughed dryly and said to Chen Yun:
"The head of the family, since you said so, you should have an idea a long time ago, you are the head of the family, and we will follow your arrangement. ”
"I'm just a thought. The matter of the Nine True Alliance is in an uproar, and everyone knows it, but in my opinion, their practice of slaughtering scattered cultivators like this is too strange, there must be another reason, it is not for those resources, in this case, no one can figure out what they will do next, so for the sake of safety, it is better not to move around, the second source city Fang City has become like this, and the other Fang City may not operate normally, rather than traveling hundreds of miles to gamble on a Fang Market with an unknown situation, it is better to wait here for other monks to come back. What do you think?"
After Wang Wan listened to Chen Yun's plan, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Master, the plan you said is indeed feasible, but how long are we going to wait here?
Chen Yun didn't have the slightest surprise on his face when he heard Wang Wan's words, and replied after pondering for a moment.
"Wan'er, I've taken into account what you said. Now there are only two monks in our clan, and the interior is empty, and we can't stay outside for too long. A month, a month at most! If the monk does not return after a month, we will return to Xiaobie Mountain at once!"
Chen Yun thought about it very thoroughly, and all aspects were taken care of, and everyone raised a few questions one after another, Chen Yun patiently answered them, and everyone had no other opinions, and each returned to the stone house to cultivate silently.
An hour later, Chen Feng woke up from his cultivation state and sneaked out alone, he had a rare opportunity to go to Fang City, how could he stay in the cultivation room obediently.
Out of the ban, Chen Feng trotted all the way through the wide jade square, and came to the urban area with many shops, and it is not appropriate to talk about the urban area, because these houses are similar to the courtyard style, all of them are made of bluestones, which is very simple.
"It's been years since I've been here, and it's still the same! Father was just able to find out that there should be people here, how could he not find it?"
Chen Feng was running around, and it happened that there was no one in Fang City, which was convenient for him to move.
All the way through the small shop in front of him, Chen Feng walked smoothly to the front of a huge attic. This attic as a whole is made of precious golden silk nanmu in the mortal world, magnificent, about ten zhang high, even if no one is here, there is a layer of light cyan light curtain to protect it firmly, it is the only shop in the entire market that opens the ban.
"Hehe, Qianjin Pavilion, it's still so different, but I'm not targeting you. ”
Chen Feng walked directly through the huge Qianjin Pavilion and went around to the back of it, a place where many mud and stone platforms were built. Chen Feng saw the light in his eyes on these mud and stone platforms, and ran behind these mud and stone platforms to look around, and after a while, he made this place even more messy.
"Hehe, I'm lucky to have found a little so quickly!"
Holding the few blank runes he had just found tightly in his hand, Chen Feng was extremely excited in his heart. He really didn't guess wrong, these monks who set up stalls evacuated in a hurry, and there would definitely be some things left that they didn't need, for Chen Feng, these rune papers were treasures, very useful.
After half an hour of searching, Chen Feng searched the mud and stone platform cleanly, found a full thirty-six blank rune papers and a lot of messy things, put away these blank rune papers properly, and Chen Feng was ready to go back. He got so many runes in vain, and it was not in vain that he sneaked out!
Looking at the luxurious Nanmu attic in front of him, Chen Feng's index finger moved, there must be a lot of good things in it! But then he dispelled this unrealistic idea, this is not something he can move, since he was a child, Chen Feng has never heard of anyone who has successfully looted the Thousand Golden Pavilion. It is even rumored that there is a shadow of more than one foundation building master behind this Thousand Golden Pavilion! In this way, even if Chen Feng exhausts his means to break through the defensive formation, it is estimated that he will not be able to get any benefits!
"People are self-aware, so let's go!"
Just as Chen Feng turned to go back, a rough voice came.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here, I don't know if you are walking around like this will make the master and the master very worried?" Wu Li strode out of the side passage, his tone full of reproach.
Chen Feng was a little surprised by Wu Li's arrival, he was indeed at fault in this matter, and he could only clench his fists apologetically.
"Senior Brother Lao bothered, this matter is my fault first, but Senior Brother, you also know that I rarely have a chance to come out on weekdays, and I was impulsive when I came out, I hope Senior Brother will forgive me!"
Wu Li snorted coldly, and walked straight towards the Thousand Golden Pavilion after leaving Chen Feng, his eyes inadvertently revealing a trace of greed. But when I saw the thick light curtain, I had to suppress the greed in my heart.
"Go back!" Wu Li said indifferently to Chen Feng and took the lead in leaving.
Chen Feng was reluctant to look at the dirt platform on the other side, which had not yet been scavenged, and had no choice but to follow.
