"Did something happen to the disciples who stayed in Liulicheng?"
After listening to the red-haired man's words, Dolan frowned, as if she had some guesses, and subconsciously wanted to ask more questions, but then she thought about it, she was following Ning Fan for comparison this time, if she was provoked by Ning Fan again, Trouble, it was really not pretty, so I hesitated for a moment and finally swallowed the words that came to my lips.
"If you have anything to say, I can wait until I settle down in Liulic City to tell you."
"My subordinates were negligent. Come here, take this saintly lady to the city for resettlement!" The red-haired man was stunned, and glanced at the carriage thoughtfully, seeming to have met Ning Fan's eyes for a moment. Then he stood up and ordered.
"No, we can just enter the city on our own." Dolan refused indifferently.
The spirit beast cart stopped at the animal stable outside Liuli City, and Dolan took Ning Fan and Wu Laoba into the city on foot. Driving is not allowed in the city, and both immortal emperors and civilians are treated the same, because this Liuli City has another meaning. It is the Buddhist capital of Zhongzhou and a holy place in the hearts of countless Buddhist cultivators.
Nature cannot be blasphemed.
Liuli City is the largest city in Zhongzhou. There are no less than a thousand temples in the city. There are six gates in total. It would take several days to walk from one gate to another at normal walking speed. Therefore, there are many inns in the city, and there are teleportation arrays in the city, which can be teleported freely within the city.
Glaze is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Its color is blue and translucent. The ordinary buildings in Liuli City are nothing more than ordinary buildings. Every brick and tile in the temples is almost entirely made of the finest colored glaze. The green light shoots straight into the sky, as if the Buddha's teachings cover the sky, giving people an extremely sacred feeling.
There are also many squares in the city, and famous monks in the city often hold altars here. Ning Fan only walked two stone streets when he met several eminent monks.
There were many listeners.
There are no mortals in the Dabei tribe. Almost all of them are born with medicinal souls and are born monks. However, the vast majority of people are not very high in cultivation and are not keen on practicing. Therefore, in Zhongzhou, where air is forbidden everywhere, too In fact, life is not much different from ordinary people.
Bricklayers, stonemasons, carpenters, painters... Ning Fan observed that most of the civilians living in Liulic City were craftsmen, and most of them served various temples. There were also various vendors who opened restaurants and inns and sold daily necessities. For those who came The Buddhist cultivators who made the pilgrimage to Liulicheng actually stayed and traveled without taking any money.
With the Dabei people's passion for gold and silver, this kind of behavior that is convenient for monks is extremely rare.
"The folk customs here are really interesting..." Ning Fan said with a smile.
"Yes, this place is really interesting. I said I was a Buddhist cultivator and came to Liulicheng for pilgrimage. Those fools didn't even charge me any money. They ate and drank whatever they wanted. In the end, they realized that I was dressed wrong and I was not an ordinary Buddhist cultivator. The monk's robes I wore were not the usual nomadic attire of the Dabei people, so I said that I was the guardian of the tomb of the holy mountain. As a result, those people were even more in awe. Some merchants with little wealth even gave me a lot of gold and silver. Let me take you to the Holy Mountain to add some sesame oil money to the Medicine Buddha's dojo... Haha, why should I add sesame oil to the useless Medicine Buddha? Just by going around in a small circle, I defrauded at least two thousand taels of gold. Ha ha ha ha…"
Wu Laoba couldn't stop complaining. Whenever Ning Fan stopped to observe the local customs, he would run into the market and deceive the residents of Liulic City.
"Is it a sense of accomplishment to deceive these people? Speaking of which, why are you becoming more and more similar to the Dabei people? You are so passionate about gold. What use does it have for us to cultivate Taoism?" Ning Fan was speechless.
"It's useless, but it's fun, interesting, and enjoyable to trick the fools here!"
"..." Ning Fan was speechless.
"..." Dolan was speechless.
"Senior and Mr. Wu, if you are interested in the folk customs of Liulic City, how about you hang out in the city for a while and let me settle down in a place first?" Duolan seemed to be worried.
"That's fine. You can arrange your accommodation first. I'll take a look at it later."
Ning Fan knew that Dolan was worried about what the red-haired man said, and he also understood that Dolan did not ask the man's request face to face because he was afraid of causing more trouble for himself.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but add, "If you have something to do in this city, don't worry about me, just go ahead and do it."
Dolan was startled, then pursed his lips and smiled, "What should I do if I cause trouble for my senior?"
"Then try not to cause trouble for me..." Ning Fan was speechless.
"Yes, the junior will definitely not cause any trouble to the senior!"
Dolan glanced at Ning Fan gratefully, found a post station on the street, and teleported directly to a certain direction in the city.
Ning Fan didn't ask where Dolan would look for a place to live. If he wanted to search with his spiritual mind, he could easily find Dolan in the city. Of course, Dolan would also take the initiative to contact him.
It is undeniable that he has gradually gained a little trust in Dolan and is no longer as defensive as he was at first.
Wu Laoba didn't understand the agility in Ning Fan and Dolan's words, and he didn't care. On the surface, Ning Fan looked at the surrounding scenery and culture, and he would go to the surrounding houses to show off and cheat. In fact, he often secretly took out the food in the dark. The treasure-hunting turtle was searching for something in the city, with more and more strange expressions on his face.
Strange, strange! The other piece of the Emperor Fei Luck Suit was obviously sensed in Liuli City, but why couldn't it be sensed after entering the city?
Could it be... that the owner of the Emperor Fei Luck Set noticed my search because the distance was too close? So there is hiding?
Hum hum, I will go door to door with Evil Star to search the whole city to see where the holder is hiding...
Um? I feel it!
Wu Lao Ba Mung Bean's little eyes flashed, but he hid the excitement in his heart very well. Just when he was trying to find a reason to run away, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach and said to Ning Fan, "Oh, something bad happened, Master! Xiao Ba just ate Those vendors seem to have eaten up their stomachs with their food, so they have to find a place to make a fuss, so they won’t accompany the master to stroll around the city..."
It's strange that he, Wu Laoba, hasn't had diarrhea in tens of millions of years, and yet... could he be tricked by someone? But it can be used as a reason to escape.
"You've had a bad stomach, are you kidding me..." Ning Fan was speechless, thinking in his mind that Wu Laoba was treating him as a humble person. Would he believe such a lie?
A monk whose internal organs are indestructible will suffer from diarrhea?
Phew!
As if to prove the truth of his words, Wu Laoba farted a foul-smelling fart, which seemed to make the sound of leaking feces.
I really got a bad stomach... As a monk at the level of Immortal Master, and as a monk who has been fasting for many years, I really got a bad stomach...
Ning Fan was speechless and at the same time, he secretly focused his gaze, a green light flashed imperceptibly, and he looked around the market, and he was suddenly startled.
There are quite a few powerful people living in seclusion in the city here, including immortals, immortal kings, and their methods of concealing their auras are very clever. With Ning Fan's eyesight, he can't see through them at a glance without using the eyesight of heaven and man!
There are also a few auras that seem to have entered the category of Immortal Emperors, but they are by no means owned by the Five Emperors of Zhongzhou, but are the kind of powerful people who remain hidden in the world...
It's no wonder that Wu Laoba is so good at it. I'm afraid that among the fools he deceived, there was an Immortal Lord, an Immortal King or even an Immortal Emperor who was pretending to be a pig and pretending to be stupid, thus tricking him. Buddhism does not like killing, and many of these strong men who are willing to live in seclusion in the market are orthodox Buddhist practitioners with pure Buddhism and close to zero evil spirits. Therefore, they only give them a small punishment to make them diarrhea...
"If you have something to do in Liulic City, just go by yourself. There is no need to find a reason. Of course, be careful and don't cause me more trouble. This Liulic City is not full of fools as you think..."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoba remembers it. Xiaoba will definitely not cause trouble for his master..."
As if he had received an amnesty, Wu Laoba held his buttocks and ran towards a small alley where garbage was piled up. It seemed that he wanted to solve the problem on the spot, rather than find a hut...
Some residents passing by started pointing towards the alley...
Ning Fan was speechless, pretending not to know this guy, and walked around the city alone.
Even without Duolan and Wu Laoba following him, he could sort out his thoughts on Baihua Peak.
The ancient demon's way of destruction... This ancient demon's way seems to be incompatible with the atmosphere of Buddhism in this place and cannot coexist. It seems that there is an impulse to instigate Ning Fan to tear apart and destroy this glazed city, shattering all the solemnity of Buddhism.
This is the ancient demon's hatred for Buddhism.
But it's not Ning Fan's hatred for Buddhism.
This is a sign that Ning Fan has not yet truly grasped the essence of the ancient demon, and is still unable to freely control the ancient demon's will to destroy everything. The ringing of temple bells that can be heard everywhere is an opportunity to sharpen his heart.
He needs to suppress the restlessness of the ancient demon bloodline to destroy Buddhism at all times!
On the other hand, he also gained a hint of his own understanding of reincarnation from Baihua Peak.
Reincarnation is like a stranger. The stranger is not because we met for the first time, but because we have forgotten it, because we cannot remember it, because God does not allow it...
Is it any wonder that we are strangers to each other after reincarnation?
Is it really not surprising that we are strangers to each other after reincarnation?
Just like why flowers bloom, why rain falls, why leaves fall from trees... they are all very common things, but if you think about them carefully, they all contain profound truths. As for Buddhism, it is precisely the subtleties that can be understood at a glance.
If you become accustomed to everything around you, you will no longer feel strange. But if you lose your heart of inquiry, many of the enlightenments you have passed by will truly flow away.
"In the Age of Ending Dharma, most of the ways of ancient demons, ancient demons, and ancient gods have been lost. Only the ancient Buddha seems to have been completely preserved to this day. During the four days, Buddhism flourished in the Western Heaven, and there was never a chance to set foot there. The prosperity of Buddhism here may not necessarily be the same. Inferior to Xitian…”
"Buddhists study the reincarnation of all things. The sound of the bells in this city is so ringing that it contains the bells of thousands of temples. Together, there is a trace of my understanding of reincarnation. If I pursue it carefully, there is no trace. Can be found…”
"On the one hand, my ancient demon bloodline is rejecting this place, and on the other hand, my awareness of reincarnation is longing for this place... Whether it is rejection or longing, it is not my intention. This is proof that I cannot fully control these powers. "
"As for the eight torture rings in my body... they seem to be longing for this place. It's really weird..."
I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly there was a crowd and noise in front of me. The crowd seemed to be talking about some 'innate elixir' or 'blood martial arts arena' or some 'soul-repairing treasure'.
Three rude men suddenly squeezed out of the crowd, almost tyrannically knocking down everyone in their way, as if they were in a hurry to get on.
These three men all had powerful cultivation levels in the early stage of Shekong. Although they had some reserve power, they were unable to be stopped by the ordinary residents of Liuli City. In just a few breaths, they knocked down sixteen or seventeen people.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan was in the direction of the three strong men. The three of them didn't look at the road at all and collided directly with Ning Fan. However, Ning Fan was not knocked away as expected. Instead, one of the strong men who collided with Ning Fan staggered and fell down due to the shock. On the ground.
"Damn it, you don't have eyesight when you walk!" The rough man was about to scold him when he suddenly noticed Ning Fan's attire and his expression suddenly changed.
The guardian of the holy mountain tomb!
There was a rare respect on his face, and he said awkwardly,
"My lord, please forgive me. I bumped into an adult because of my lack of eyesight. Please don't behave like a villain." Where is the arrogance of those who bumped into civilians before?
Ning Fan did not explain his identity. He only looked deeply at the three rough men and asked, "What happened here? I seem to hear someone talking about the innate soul-repairing elixir."
Naturally, he did not forget one of the purposes for entering the Jidan Holy Domain: to collect the innate soul-repairing elixir for the daughter of Emperor Chongming Feng.
"Huh? Your Excellency is not the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain. How could you not know about this... Oh, Your Excellency must be the kind of being who has just come out of seclusion for a long time. No wonder he doesn't know about the blood martial arts arena."
"What is the Blood Martial Arena?"
"Uh, sir, as the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain, you don't know about the blood martial arts arena? Damn it, I get it, you are not the guardian of the tomb of the Holy Mountain, you are a foreign cultivator, bah, I bumped into a foreign cultivator, I was scared to death !”
Once they realized that Ning Fan was a foreign cultivator, the three rude men no longer showed any respect, cursed and turned around and left.
Ning Fan waved his sleeves slightly, and a golden light swept across the three rough men, making them unable to move.
This is the use of Shi Zi Mi, and Shi Zi Mi, just like Wei Zi Jue, is an inseparable part of Dingtian Technique. Use the secret word "shi" to dissolve the momentum of the three people walking. Once the momentum is gone, they will naturally be unable to move.
It has to be said that Ning Fan's understanding of the potential and power of Tianding Technique is becoming more and more profound day by day.
hiss!
The three of them were all shocked. They didn't know that although Ning Fan was an external cultivator, he was a being with unfathomable magical powers. Otherwise, how could he have used such an unheard-of method to immobilize the three of them!
If the three of them were respectful when they mistakenly thought that Ning Fan was the guardian of the mausoleum of the Holy Mountain, now they were shocked.
"You three, don't leave in a hurry. How about you tell me about this blood martial arts arena?" Ning Fan was obviously smiling, but the three rough men all had a shuddering feeling. They subconsciously gave up and told them all the news. Ning Fan was let go after Wu Yi Shi informed him.
The Blood Martial Arena is an underground arena in Liuli City.
Where there is light, there are shadows and darkness. If the Glazed City above the earth's surface is as bright as a holy land, then the Glazed City beneath the ground is as bloody as purgatory.
The Blood Martial Arena is a place where practitioners can fight freely.
Anyone who enters the ring needs to wear a blood mask to hide their true identity, so that they do not have to bear any responsibility and complete the fight.
Some people kill people here for fun, some people kill people here to practice, and some people kill people here for fun.
To enter the Blood Martial Arena to watch the battle, you need to purchase tickets at different prices depending on the scale of the battle.
Those who participate in the fight will be rewarded if they survive to the end. Of course, this reward needs to be exchanged for life.
Coincidentally, the owner of the Blood Martial Arena recently obtained an innate elixir from the Ferocious Realm Continent. Since it is a soul-replenishing medicine rather than a medicine that enhances cultivation, the Blood Martial Master does not pay much attention to this medicine. Take it out and use it as a reward for the blood martial arts arena ranking match.
The ranking battle is a grand event that occurs only once in decades in the Blood Martial Arena.
The blood warrior master does not value this thing, which does not mean that others do not value it. There are many old monsters in the Dabei clan who have seriously injured their souls, so this innate soul-repairing elixir has attracted a large number of people to come here to participate in the ranking. war.
Night Ganoderma is a strain that Ning Fan has never obtained before. It can be used to treat the Phoenix Emperor's daughter, so it is also very attractive to him.
According to what the three rough guys said, this blood martial arts arena ranking match is not the end, but hundreds of people competing in pairs, constantly advancing, and finally deciding the first place.
There are risks, but as long as you are strong enough, even if you cannot win, you may not be able to escape unscathed, as long as you are not killed by the opponent with one move...
Ning Fan dare not say that he will definitely win the Blood Martial Arts Arena Championship, but he is confident that even if the opponent is a powerful Immortal Emperor, he can still escape if he is defeated and wants to escape.
In this way, the risk of this blood martial arts arena is close to zero for him, so he might as well try to see if he can get the reward of that night's Ganoderma lucidum.
The only thing that concerned Ning Fan was the time of the Blood Martial Arena.
"Ordinary battles in the Blood Martial Arena occur every day, while ranking battles are only held once every few decades. The registration deadline for this ranking battle is three hours later, and the start time is Four days later, at a quarter past noon...the time for the ranking battle is not fixed, it is decided by the blood warrior master alone. I just don’t know why this ranking battle starts at the moment when the second round of seizing the mausoleum is approaching..."
"There are still seven days left before the second round of the Zhongzhou. The start time of the Blood Martial Arts Ranking Tournament is three days before the second round of the Tomb Seizing Battle. If among the people participating in the Blood Martial Arena, there happens to be a candidate for the second round, Regardless of whether these people are injured or dead, it will affect the performance of the second round of Seizing the Tomb... Or maybe, the time of the Blood Martial Arena is so close to the second round, and there is an intention to attract the second round participants..."
These thoughts passed by in a flash, but they did not affect Ning Fan's decision.
He came to a post station somewhere on the street, and after paying a small amount of gold and silver, he used the teleportation array within the city to teleport directly to the underground world of Liuli City.
Blood martial arts arena!
This place is like an underground city built in piles of rocks, with tens of thousands of stone houses standing in the forest, and hundreds of amphitheaters of different sizes built in the center.
It was dark, damp, and the smell of blood hit our faces, and the men in the capital kept shouting wantonly in the arena; on the roadside, occasionally men and women did not shy away from pedestrians, and directly performed the most primitive sports in the street alleys...
Ning Fan walked out of one of the underground teleportation formations, and when his mind swept over the place, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
He doesn't like the chaos here.
There is thick stone ground under your feet, with a cold and hard texture. He remembered that the ground in Zhongzhou was full of stubborn rocks, which were made so impregnable that even the extremely powerful Baili Stone Dragon could not escape through them.
But it's not a big deal that someone can carve out such an underground city among the stubborn rocks in Zhongzhou.
As soon as Ning Fan walked out of the teleportation array, a seductive woman wearing extremely revealing clothes came over and giggled,
"This man is here to watch the battle. Today, there are strong men in the late stage of Suinian fighting against the True Dragon of Great Cause in the adult stage. This is the most watched battle today. The ticket is five hundred stone coins. Do you want to come? Zhang, if you buy ten pieces at a time, the little lady also has special services..."
Stone coins are a type of currency that is only circulated in Liulic City and a few areas of Dabei. They are cast from medicine soul stones and are roughly equivalent to Dao crystals.
The charming woman gave Ning Fan a wink.
Ning Fan gave an indifferent look and said calmly, "I don't want to watch the competition. I'm here to register for the Blood Martial Ranking Competition. Where is the registration office?"
"Sign up for the ranked battle, tsk tsk, tsk tsk, I look so handsome, why do you die in the ranked battle? Could it be that you have no money to spend and want to risk your life in the ranked battle? Geez, with my appearance, if it is true, If you are short of money, this little girl does have some options. Tonight, come to my sister’s place, and how about she give you a lecture on how to make money?”
The charming woman smiled with spring in her eyes, but she still only received Ning Fan's cold reply, "Where is the registration office?"
"It's really strange..." The woman didn't feel dissatisfied. After giggling, she pointed the way to Ning Fan and invited him to have sex with her.
Ning Fan was too lazy to pay attention and went straight to the registration office for the ranking competition.
It was one of hundreds of arenas for this technique. There were no spectators in the arena, but there were more than a hundred people inside the arena undergoing assessment.
There are many people who want to participate in the ranked battle, but not everyone is qualified to participate. They must pass a test before they can qualify to participate.
There are not many assessment items, there is only one, and that is to receive an attack from the assessor.
The examiner is an old man with strong muscles and a scar. He seems to be a body cultivator with peak cultivation level of Shekong. Among the hundred or ten people here, only seven or eight people successfully passed the test, but they also suffered minor injuries during the test and were adjusting their breathing on the spot; the remaining people either have not yet been tested or failed to receive the muscle. The old man makes a move, but doesn’t give up and wants to keep trying.
"Are you also here to sign up for the Blood Martial Ranking Tournament?" Scar, the old man in charge of the assessment, glanced at Ning Fan who entered the arena and shook his head.
Being so thin, unlike a physical practitioner, it would be difficult for a non-physical practitioner to receive his attacks, and he would also suffer a lot in the blood martial arts arena.
"Yes." Ning Fan replied lightly.
"Then go to the back and line up."
Ning Fan nodded, walked to the back of the queue, and scanned the subjects one by one.
The weak ones among these test subjects only have the cultivation of Void Refining and Shattering the Void. The most powerful ones only have the cultivation of Life Immortal, and there are very few True Immortals.
Among the people tested here, the ones with the highest cultivation level turned out to be three very familiar people.
Those three rough guys who bumped into him before!
"As expected of the Three Sea Witches, they are indeed worthy of their reputation! They can actually receive the tenth punch of Kuang Patriarch! You know, the only ones who can make Kuang Patriarch hit the tenth punch are the strong ones in the late Shekong period. Ah! The three fellow Taoists must have already reached the late stage of Shekong, which is really enviable!"
"Hahaha, if you train for tens of thousands more years, you might be able to have the superficial strength of my three brothers, but you don't have to be too envious!"
"With the strength of these three fellow Taoists, I'm afraid they have a great chance of winning the top 100 spot in the ranking battle!"
"Hahaha, that's natural. My three brothers are elite sea witches. It's easy to get into the hundred ranks. It's a pity that we don't fight in a team. Otherwise, if the three of us join forces, we can escape unscathed even in the early stage of Suspicion. After Suspicion, It’s enough to sweep across!”
"Hiss, with the combined efforts of the three fellow Taoists, they were able to escape completely from the hands of the early stage of Sui Nian. It's really amazing!"
"Hahaha, who said we three brothers are so powerful?"
The three rough men were proudly accepting the compliments of everyone, when they suddenly heard a laugh coming from behind them, and they immediately became angry.
Damn, who's laughing!
The three of them turned around with angry eyes, and what they saw was Ning Fan's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Okay, what a coincidence. Your Excellency, you are also here to save your life in the ranking battle?" The tone was actually very polite, but there was also deep fear in the politeness.
"Um."
Ning Fan responded calmly and stopped paying attention to the three sea witches. People of this level were not worthy of his attention at all.
As for the glances that focused on him and made some guesses because of his external attire, they were all ignored and unexplained.
The three familiar people here were not only the three sea witches, but there was also a person who gave Ning Fan a sense of familiarity.
It was a young man wearing a horn mask, whose appearance was invisible. Looking at the back, he looks familiar, but his aura is completely obscured by the horn mask...
Only the two eyes under the horn mask were somewhat familiar, but they gave people a dull and empty feeling.
This look...
It is actually fresh and pure!
"Why are you here?" Ning Fan walked towards the man in the horn mask and asked with a frown.
"Who are you? You look familiar..." The young man in the horn mask said extremely alienating words in Ning Fan's very familiar accent.
The tone of his voice was less silly than Xian Yuchun's usual and had more of a sharp edge.
"Don't you recognize me...Interesting, is this mask affecting you?"
Ning Fan didn't want to talk nonsense with the man in the horn mask. He struck out like lightning. Before the man in the mask could see clearly, his palm was already on the other's mask.
I wanted to take off the opponent's mask in one fell swoop, but the moment I touched the mask, the mask was shaken away by an indescribable force. Fortunately, the body-protecting golden light appeared at the same time, and the terrifying power that shocked Ning Fan was resolved.
There was solemnity on his face.
The huge power attached to the mask is comparable to a blow from the Immortal Lord... There is an Immortal Lord-level powerhouse, but is Xian Yuchun wearing this mask...
And at that moment, he seemed to feel a hint of reincarnation from the mask.
Reincarnation is like a stranger...
Is it the power of reincarnation that makes Xian Yuchun, who is wearing the mask, feel strange to him... What is the origin of this mask? (To be continued.) m.
