Chapter 35: The Alliance of Loose Cultivators
After Zhang Di left Heifeng Gang, he calmed down, thinking back to the process of the fight, he always felt that the two robbers were a little weird, and they looked fierce and vicious when they appeared, but they slipped away in a hurry as soon as they fought, and there was a feeling of thunder and rain.
He didn't know that the two robbers were arranged by the master, but after this fight, his heart became more alert, and he realized that he was still a little reckless to travel alone, so he used the pass charm to rush all the way.
"Alas, it seems that my experience is not sophisticated enough, I was distracted by a little bird, and the next time I meet that little bird, I must ignore it!" Thinking of Fang Cai, he shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that his experience in the rivers and lakes is too shallow, and he must summarize the gains and losses in time, hoping that he can do better next time he encounters danger.
An hour later, when he saw that on the road leading to Zhongnan Valley, there were many Lingnong who carried Linggu on their shoulders, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Remove the spirit rune, carry the spirit valley and slowly walk to the main road, mix with those spirit farmers, and march towards Zhongnan Valley not far away.
Some Lingnong couldn't help but look at him a few more times when they saw that he was dressed plainly and was not wearing sect clothes. However, at this time, the body refiners from all directions gathered, and there were a lot of people on the main road, and there were also some Lingnong who were dressed strangely and did not belong to any sect, so after looking at Zhang Di a few times, those people stopped paying attention.
Zhang Di lowered his hat and hurried away, but his eyes were quietly looking at the body refiners around him, listening to their loud conversation, and after a while, he gradually understood in his heart.
These people generally fall into three categories:
One is the body refiners of the major sects, who come to Zhongnangu to trade together, they often come in groups of three or five, or even dozens of people, talking and laughing loudly along the way, relying on the large number of people, and not taking safety to heart.
Looking at their costumes, the disciples of the Qingyue Sect were wearing green shirts, accounting for about 30 percent, the disciples of the Wind and Fire God Sect were wearing wind and fire cloud pattern clothes, accounting for about 30 percent, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect were wearing black shirts, accounting for about 20 percent, and the remaining Spirit Beast Mountain and Spirit Moon Sect disciples were wearing blue shirts and white shirts, accounting for about 20 percent.
In addition, there are less than one percent of the body refiners, who do not belong to any of the five major sects, they are mixed in clothes, and they dress in all kinds of ways. There are inconspicuous slags like Zhang Di, and there are also richly dressed people who look like rich families.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Di secretly recalled the information of the sects around him, the Qingyue Sect, the Wind and Fire God Sect, the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, the Spirit Beast Mountain and the Lingyue Sect are also known as the Wuyue Mountain Sect of the Yue Kingdom, which is not only the largest five sects in the entire Yue Kingdom, but also the top three forces in the entire Seventeen Northern Kingdoms, which is not to be underestimated.
Because of this, within the Wuyue Mountain Sect, in order to compete for the dominant position, there have been endless battles in recent years, and two factions led by the Qingyue Sect and the Wind and Fire Divine Sect have gradually formed. Among them, the Wind and Fire Divine Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Sect faintly formed an alliance, while the Qingyue Sect united the Spirit Beast Mountain and the Spirit Moon Sect to fight against the other side.
When the disciples on both sides met outside, there was quite some friction, although there was no big fight, but the small friction was still constant.
Thinking of this, Zhang Di secretly reminded himself: "The identity of my Qingyue Sect disciple must not be exposed, otherwise it will be troublesome if you run into the Wind and Fire Divine Sect or the Ten Thousand Demon Sect alone." So he quickly lowered his hat, no longer glanced around, so as not to attract the attention of others, and picked up his hoe and strode forward.
Suddenly, there was a large group of people approaching quickly, and their mouths were shouting: "Get out of the way!"
He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but even so, he was hit the shoulder, and he felt that the momentum was very fierce, and the whole person stumbled, and after standing firm, he looked back angrily.
I saw a group of disciples of the Wind and Fire God Sect swaggering over, all holding wind and fire spirit tools, and the two breaths of wind and fire lingered around their bodies, and they were very imposing at a glance. And the person who hit him was a big man with a big cheek, with a very strong expression, a pair of radio-like eyes swept left and right, full of disdain.
Zhang Di was faintly angry in his heart, and was very dissatisfied with the arrogance of these disciples of the Wind and Fire God Sect, only to see them rampage all the way, and when they encountered scattered body refiners, they pushed or knocked them away, and when they met other sect disciples, they also relied on the strength of the crowd and ignored them, and the passers-by threw angry eyes, but they dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
"Alas, these disciples of the Wind and Fire God Sect are really too arrogant, behind them is the support of the number one sect in the Yue Kingdom, and only the Qingyue faction can fight against one or two, let's not provoke it when we encounter it. Suddenly, someone next to him sighed lowly.
Zhang Di turned his head to look and saw a thin man standing on the side of the road looking at him, about 20 years old, with a small nose and small eyes, his eyes dripping and rolling, a shrewd and smooth expression, dressed in ordinary clothes, and did not belong to any sect.
"What? are you talking to me?" asked Zhang Di curiously.
"Yes, my surname is Song, and the people in the rivers and lakes give me the nickname 'Song Baitong', and I don't have anything that I don't know about the surrounding sects. The man grinned, looking familiar.
Zhang Di was strange in his heart, and he didn't know why this person found him, so he touched his nose and said lightly: "My surname is Huang, I don't know why Your Excellency found me?"
Song Baitong grinned and said: "Brother Huang was just hit by the people of the Wind and Fire God Sect, but he only stumbled, and he quickly stood firm, it can be seen that Brother Huang's next kung fu is really not weak, and he must be a person with superb skills." Since they both belong to loose cultivation, why don't they go together, so as not to be oppressed by those big sects?"
Zhang Di was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at this person carefully through the lower edge of the hat, only to see that this person was thin and ordinary, with a burden behind him, and he didn't know what was inside, and he didn't seem to be a very powerful body refiner.
And the man was not annoyed, he still looked at Zhang Di with a smile, and let Zhang Di look him up and down.
Out of cautious consideration, after Zhang Di looked at it, he still refused: "I'm sorry, I'm used to being alone, and I don't have the habit of getting along with others, so you better find someone else!"
Song Baitong stopped him and said a word, which made Zhang Di stop.
"You're Lingnong, are you going to Fang Market to sell Linggu?" Hehe, there are a total of thirty-six Gu shops in Fang City, I don't know if you have any plans, which one do you want to go to trade?"
"Why are there so many grain shops?" Zhang Di frowned.
"Yes, at this time, the Linggu of the five major sects are all on the market, and the Qingyue faction alone has produced hundreds of thousands of catties, and about 100,000 catties have flowed to the outside markets, plus the other factions, there are more than 300,000 catties, if there are no thirty-six grain shops, how can you eat so much?" Song Baitong explained with a smile, his face was full of smugness, and he seemed to be very proud that he had such accurate information.
Zhang Dixin wanted to really have so many valley stores, if he wanted to sell his Linggu at the right price, he would probably have to visit for a long time, and in addition, he would have to buy array plates and other useful things.
Thinking of this, he bowed to Song Baitong and said, "Since this is the case, then let's pass with Brother Song below, and I hope that Brother Song will take care of one or two, please forgive me for being rude." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Brother Huang is a cautious person at first glance, and he should think about it more. Hehe, in fact, you have been in contact with me for a long time, you will know, I am a good talker, and I don't have any bad intentions......"
Song Baitong chattered all the way, constantly boasting that he had seen and heard a lot, Zhang Di just listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions, and leading the topic in the direction he was interested in.
He didn't resent this person's nagging, on the contrary, he felt that he had gained a lot, and helped him get acquainted with a lot of things in the immortal cultivation world, such as the term "scattered cultivation", which refers to those cultivators who did not belong to any sect.
Their origins are generally due to personal coincidence and embarking on the path of body refiners, or for various reasons, they have left the sect and become casual cultivators.
The advantage of casual cultivation is that it is one-man and does not have any constraints or restrictions, but the disadvantage is that it lacks the support of the sect, and it is not as good as the disciples of the sect in terms of cultivation resources, and it is easy to be bullied by others.
Therefore, unless it is a very strong casual cultivator, other weak casual cultivators will form a group to form a loose alliance of casual cultivators, and take care of each other.
This Song Baitong belongs to a loose cultivation alliance called the "Zhongnan Alliance", and at this time he kept bragging about how good the alliance was, trying his best to join Zhang Di, and at the same time inquiring about Zhang Di's origin. I can't cry and laugh, no wonder this person will take the initiative to find himself, it turns out that it is to develop members, and he still thinks that he is a loose cultivator with no door and no faction!
He had no choice but to deal with it, and made up a random history of loose cultivation, saying that he was ordered by his master to go out of the mountain for the first time, and he planned to experience it, and if he didn't join, he would have to go back to the mountain to learn from the master. Neither refused at once, nor did he rashly agree, giving the other party a feeling of waiting and watching for a while, so he aroused this person's enthusiasm to introduce, patted his chest and said that this trip was wrapped up in his Song Baitong, and the custody was satisfactory to Brother Huang.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the entrance of Zhong Nangu, where there were two burly men, only to see that their temples were high and bulging, their eyes were shining, and their bodies were quite strong, and they were high-level body refiners at first glance.
Song Baitong stepped forward to negotiate with a smile, and sure enough, he was familiar with things, and the two big men quickly waved their hands, signaling that Zhang Di and the two could go in.
Song Baitong introduced as he walked: "Zhongnan Gufang City is jointly opened by the five factions, and it is used by the body refiners under the door for trading, and the two who guard the entrance are all third-level body refiners, and there are also a large number of patrols in the valley, and all of them are not weak in cultivation. Brother, you are here for the first time, but you must be careful, you must not have a conflict with people in the city, otherwise you will be expelled at the least, and you will be imprisoned at the worst, or even take your life!
Hehe, if someone really dares to bully you, forget about the disciples of the Great Gate Sect, and if you report to the 'Zhongnan Alliance' for ordinary casual cultivators, they will still be afraid of one or two. ”
This person still didn't forget to seize the opportunity to brag about the "South Yugoslav Alliance", which really gave Zhang Di a headache, so he had to deal with it.
