On the gray clouds.

Huan Meng pointed to a huge inner city lake in Donggui City, "Childe, the dark market is there, the lake is a confusion array, and in the pavilion next to the lake, there are two gatekeepers." We land on them, and they open the entrance to the dark market. ”

Duan Yu ran his spiritual power to his eyes and looked at Huanmeng's fingers.

I saw that on the east side of the inner city, there was a huge inner city lake.

The lake shimmers with crystal clear waves and is surrounded by various willow trees.

As for the pavilion that Huanmeng said, it is on the east side of the lake.

The pavilion is an octagonal pavilion, not big, under the glazed golden tiles, there are two young people who look about seventeen or eighteen years old, who are meditating in the pavilion and exhaling spiritual power to practice qi.

At the back of the pavilion is a small forest garden with dense foliage.

About 100 meters past Xiaolin Garden, it is the residential area of some rich and noble families in Donggui City.

However, on the road leading to the lake in the inner city, there was a row of Nine Treasure Kingdom half-demon city defense troops. It's a bunch of ordinary people...

Duan Yu dispersed the spiritual power condensed in his eyes, ran the spiritual power to his feet, quickly controlled the gray clouds, and flew towards the octagonal pavilion.

Zhang Taotao looked at the lake, her eyes flashed with curiosity, and she said childishly: "Sister Huanmeng, why did Jiutianzhai set up the market of qi practitioners so secretly? ”

"Quite simply, if the bazaar of qi practitioners is easy to find by mortals, or even easily enter it. Mortals will rush into it because they are eager to get the opportunity to seek immortals, disrupting the order that Qi practitioners should have, and they are also prone to some unnecessary troubles. ”

Zhang Taotao nodded ignorantly.

Suddenly, the little head turned. If she was shopping in there and was eating something delicious, and then suddenly a group of mortals broke in and wanted to ask for an apprenticeship, then it would be estimated that she would be annoyed to death.

"Then all the Qi Practitioner Bazaars in the secular city, are most of them like this?" Zhang Taotao continued to ask.

Huan Meng blinked his smart eyes and replied, "Well, most of them will pay attention to a big hidden in the world.

However, not every city has such a standardized Qi Practitioner Bazaar, unless some Great Immortal Sect is specially operated and opened.

Otherwise, in some remote small counties, even if there are occasionally some points opened by the immortal sect for the disciples of the outer sect to be responsible, they may be hidden in the ordinary secular neighborhoods. ”

Hearing Huanmeng's words, Ah Qing's eyes on the side flashed with doubt, "Then how can you tell the difference?"

Huan Meng smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "This may be one of them, but most of them, as long as you use your spiritual power to your eyes, and then look up at the words on the plaque hanging at their door, whether it will change, you can conclude from here whether this is a store opened by a certain immortal sect." ”

In the interval between Huanmeng's words, Duan Yu quickly drove the gray cloud to the sky above Donggui City, and then locked the pavilion next to the lake in the inner city, descending extremely quickly.

As soon as he landed, the gray clouds had not completely dispersed.

The two boys, who were meditating in the octagonal pavilion and breathing in the aura, opened their eyes in unison and got up and walked towards them.

These two boys only have a layer of qi refining, and their cultivation is not very stable, they are beautiful and clear-eyed, and their physiques are strong. He wore a coarse blue cloth robe, and there was a circle on the back of the cloth robe, and the word "Zhai" was embroidered in the circle.

On the heads of the two of them, a blue cloth was tied, like two scholars studying hard in the cold window.

As soon as the two of them saw Duan Yu and everyone, their treasures were exposed, a male qi refiner, with eight female Taoist couples who were so beautiful.

While there was a little envy in their hearts, they stepped forward to greet them very respectfully, because this was their duty.

The two of them are the gatekeepers who are responsible for guarding the dark market, and they are also the outer disciples of Jiutianzhai.

If a Qi Refiner comes, help him disperse the confusion array on the lake, so that the Qi Refiner's bazaar can reveal its true face.

If it was an ordinary mortal who sneaked into the grove and had an indescribable play, the two of them would use immortal magic to scare them away.

The boy on the left took the lead in front of Duan Yu and said respectfully: "Excuse me, fellow Daoists, have you entered the dark market of Donggui City?"

Duan Yu glanced at the two gatekeepers in front of him, briefly looked at their clothes and cultivation, nodded and said, "Yes, do you need any conditions?"

"Fellow Daoists, no. The boy on the right shook his head as he spoke, stretched out his hand to the lake beside him, and made a gesture of please.

And the boy on the left, in the space between his words, quickly played with both hands, and on his index finger, a faint milky white light quickly condensed.

As soon as this ray of light appeared, he quickly bounced it towards the lake.

With this light, it touched the surface of the lake, and there was a ripple on the surface of the lake, and all the sparkling water suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, one after another maroon pavilion buildings began to appear in front of Duan Yu.

Three meters directly opposite them, a huge stone gate appeared, and on the stone gate was written, "Donggui Dark Market".

Speaking of the stone gate, it looks like a large road more than five meters wide and paved with bricks.

The road is long, from the east end of the lake to the west end. The doors of the shops on both sides of the road are some closed, some are open.

In the store closest to Shimen, the plaque on the store reads "Sansheng Pharmacy".

From the two words "Three Sages", Duan met everyone and knew from the plank road of the Yellow River Spring early in the morning that this was a medium-sized immortal sect and a elixir hall opened by the Three Sages Sect.

In Jiubao China, it is still a well-developed Xianmen, and it is often sheltered and cared for by Jiutianzhai.

Of course, some of the things that Jiutianzhai is unwilling to do are for the Three Holy Sects to do. For example, a few days ago, on the Yellow River Spring, it was the Three Holy Sects who organized treasure fishing.

In the Sansheng Pharmacy, there is a leisurely fragrance of elixir.

On the counter inside, there are many jade bottles.

Most of these jade bottles are some ordinary pills, such as Bigu Dan, Yangyan Dan, Yangqi Dan...

In the Three Holy Pharmacy, a female disciple of the outer sect of the Three Holy Sect who was wearing a light blue glazed Luo robe with a lot of patterns embroidered on the Luo robe yawned.

Duan Yu by the lake glanced at everyone curiously, and after observing them slightly, he continued to sit in the store and meditate.

On the streets of Donggui Dark Market, Duan Yu looked around.

There weren't many qi practitioners.

Compared with the plank road of the Yellow River Spring, the feeling given to him here is that it is cold and lonely, and there is a sense of depression that is sluggish and easy to be cold.

After the confusion array on the lake was lifted, the boy on the left wiped his sweat slightly, exhaled, and said: "Childe, young ladies, please, this is the dark market of Donggui City, only don't make trouble, don't care about you." ”

Duan Yu nodded, took the women, and walked towards the stone gate.

Behind them, as soon as Duan Yu and the others stepped into the street inside the stone gate, the boy on the left began to fight again.

Soon, a sparkling lake reappeared.

From a distance, it seems that Duan Yu and the others, as well as the streets, the shops, and the rows of regular brown pavilion buildings, have never appeared.

The streets of Donggui Dark City, compared to the Yellow River Spring Plank Road, are really deserted.

If it was on the Yellow River Spring Plank Road, at this time, there were already many qi refiners swimming around the left and right areas.

And here, there are only about a dozen Qi Refiners coming and going.

Moreover, these dozen or so qi refiners seem to be outer disciples who saw that the store had just opened, the things in the store were sorted out, and there was no one, so they came out to chat with each other for a word or two.

Huan Meng looked at this somewhat bleak scene and explained softly:

"Childe, now that there is a treasure fishing activity on the Yellow River Spring Plank Road, most of the Qi Refiners may have gone there to join in the fun. Those who stayed here were some disciples who couldn't get out of the Immortal Gate, or some cultivators of the Transformation Realm who lived in seclusion in the attic and didn't want to wander around. ”

The shops on the left and right, Duan Yu took a brief look and said, "It's good that there are fewer people, it won't look crowded, Miss Huanmeng, where is the Nine Treasure Pavilion on this street?"

"Childe, at the middle crossroads of this road. Huan Meng was obviously familiar with this place, and introduced: "This dark market consists of two streets, and two kilometers ahead, there is an intersection. ”

Zhang Taotao blinked, looked at the shops on the left and right, and said, "It's so deserted here, there are not even shops selling spiritual food." ”

When Ah Qing heard Zhang Taotao's words, she laughed, "Little Taotao, your storage bag contains so much spiritual food, are you still thinking about buying it?"

"It's only a little bit, if you let it go, you will eat it quickly. Zhang Taotao pouted and explained.

Huan Meng glanced at the two girls, and then said to Duan Yu: "A long time ago, this place was also very prosperous. ”

"But why is it so cold in here now? Zhang Taotao stopped playing with Ah Qing and asked.

"A long time ago, no one knew that it was possible to excavate and build buildings on the cliff wall on the Yellow River Spring Plank Road. Therefore, when most people go to the Yellow River Spring, the first place to settle down is in Dongguicheng. ”

Huanmeng's voice just stopped. In the distance, a slightly older voice came. "The girl is right. ”

Duan Yu looked up at the others, and saw a qi practitioner with a bent waist, walking briskly towards them.

This Qi practitioner only has the cultivation of the third layer of Qi training, and it may be a loose cultivation, because Duan Yu found that the clothes on his body did not have any obvious signs of some immortal sects.

This Qi Refiner has a wrinkled face and a twilight aura.

Duan Yu knew that this was a Qi Refiner who was about to run out of oil, and if he didn't break through to the fourth layer of Qi Training, he would die.

Twilight Qi Refiner, when Duan Yu and everyone were observing him, he was also observing Duan Yu and them.

"I'm Li Ke, and I'm Li Yingke. You look a little unfamiliar, I don't know what you plan to buy when you come to the dark market? There are 36 houses here, and there is no one that I am not familiar with. ”

Duan Yu shook his head, he didn't come to buy things, and even if he was, he didn't want to have a middleman to make the difference.

Li Yingke saw Duan Yu's refusal, he didn't have much expression on his face, hehe, said "don't bother", and staggered a position to make way for Duan Yu and the others.

When Zhang Taotao passed by him, he saw that Zhang Taotao was actually less than ten years old, he was already at the first level of qi refining, and he was still holding a juvenile alien beast Blood Moon Dog in his hand, and the rope he was holding in his hand was actually a high-level magic weapon.

His breath stagnated slightly, and a greedy look flashed in the depths of his pupils, and with this trace of greedy look, an extremely faint trace of demonic energy disappeared in his eyes in an instant.

Zhang Taotao had just passed by this qi refiner, and the demonic qi in his body suddenly had a feeling of wanting to devour this qi refiner.

At that moment, she turned her head slightly, frowned, and glanced at this qi refiner named Li Yingke, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

Suddenly, Bei Fang opened his teeth lightly, and a trace of spiritual power was on his mouth, and he transmitted the voice to Duan Yu on the side and said, "Brother, there is a faint trace of demonic energy condensing in this qi refiner's body. ”

When Duan Yu suddenly heard Zhang Taotao's words, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Don't stop, keep moving forward." The demonic qi is condensing, it may be that this qi refiner sees no hope of a breakthrough. Then I'm ready to practice that spell. ”

"Ah," Zhang Taotao exclaimed in surprise when she heard her brother's words, and the irritable emotions in her heart instantly surged.

Zhang Taotao's exclamation made the women beside Duan Yu look up suspiciously. Among them was the old man Li Yingke, who was watching their young age and looking at their storage bags.

"Little Taotao, are you like this?" said A-Qing crisply.

As soon as Zhang Taotao wanted to tell his brother's guess, his brother's voice sounded in his ears, "He can obtain the "Demon Attraction" spell, there may be other demon cultivators here, don't expose it." ”

When Zhang Taotao heard this, she opened her mouth to Ah Qing, and said with a crying face: "Sister Ah Qing, last night I ordered the spiritual food in a spiritual food restaurant, and the price was 30,000 spirit stones, and I forgot to take it." ”

"It's not just a spiritual food, you have a lot of storage bags. I forgot to take it, and I will ask for it again when I have the opportunity in the future," Ah Qing said, laughing skillfully, "Anyway, aren't you also a prostitute for nothing, the spirit stone has not been paid yet, can't you just pay the spirit stone in the future?"

"Hehe, Sister A-Qing is so annoying. ”

Li Yingke, who was behind Duan Yu, heard Zhang Taotao's words, the corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes again.

Then he turned and walked outside.

Zhang Taotao glanced at the old man from the corner of his eyes, and when he saw that he was going out, he immediately sent a voice to Duan Yu in a little hurry, and said:

"Brother, he's going out, I'll go out with me and kill him secretly, so that he won't harm others!"

"Don't worry, there is a greedy look in his eyes, maybe he wants to pay attention to us, or go to find an accomplice. Let's go and exchange the spirit stones first. ”

Duan was chatting with Zhang Taotao, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to lead everyone towards the Nine Treasure Pavilion.

"Oh," Zhang Taotao nodded, followed behind Duan Yu, and continued to transmit: "Brother, if he really goes to find an accomplice, is his accomplice a demon cultivator?"

"It's very likely, it may be a ninth-layer Qi Cultivator of the Demon Refining Qi Realm, or a Qi Refiner of the ninth-level Transformation Realm. ”

"Hee-hee, brother, let them come.

As long as it is not a demon cultivator who has returned to the virtual realm, it is impossible for me Tao Tao and my two sisters to be the opponent, and recently my brother gave me the top-level spiritual treasure Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, and I can already use the first layer of the pagoda to lock people inside. ”
