Zhang Chu looked around and found that although there were many small villages, there was no communication between most of them.
Some small villages are even directly shrouded in a hazy light curtain, prohibiting any living beings from peeking.
Zhang Chu pondered in his heart: "It seems that after the earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Demonic Ruins, all the small villages have been vigilant towards the outside world and do not want to easily contact other villages."
"I just don't know what the situation is like in the city." Zhang Chu thought in his heart.
Of course, Zhang Chu also saw that occasionally people from some villages would come out and go directly to the big city.
Zhang Chu and the three of them have never had a clue about the secret path in the starry sky, so they might be able to get some inspiration by simply going out for a walk.
So the next day, Zhang Chu directly took Tong Qingshan, Xiao Putao, and Huzi, and the four of them sat on the broad back of the ancient silver elephant, and went to Chuixing City together.
Teng Su branched out a small seedling and landed on Zhang Chu's shoulder.
While walking, Teng Su introduced: "After entering Chuixing City, if you take the Dongji Gate and keep walking east, you can leave the Demon Ruins."
"However, it takes a lot of courage to walk through that door. Anyway, I don't dare to leave now." Fujisu added.
Zhang Chu asked: "Over the years, how many people have actually left the Demon Ruins alive?"
"Four hundred years ago, there was one." Fujisu said.
"Only one?" Zhang Chu asked.
Fujisu said calmly: "Which one is more famous, there will definitely be others in the future. The demon ruins are so big, no matter how bad the soil, there will be geniuses."
Well, the implication is that except for a few geniuses, they are all dead.
"Wow, what a high city wall!" Little Putao raised her head and sighed as she looked at the city wall.
Zhang Chu also looked up at the high wall, where teams of guards were patrolling, looking as small as sparrows.
"It's indeed very high!" Zhang Chu sighed.
Under the towering city wall, the wide stone gate is open, but there are not many people entering and leaving the city, and there are only a few people.
At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers wearing armor and holding spears stood in awe, and the city defender collected entry fees from everyone who entered the city.
"Each person has three taels of gold. After entering the city, no conflicts are allowed with others. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy." The city guard said calmly.
There was some gold in Zhang Chu's mustard bag. After paying the fee to enter the city, he entered Chuixing City.
Inside the city and outside the city are completely different worlds.
The city is extremely spacious, with rows of buildings and people coming and going on the streets, which is lively and prosperous.
Many vendors can be heard shouting:
"Bingtang Snow Lotus Seeds, a bunch of ten taels of gold, a holy item to enhance your cultivation qualifications!"
"The meat buns stuffed with Taikoo yellow sheep are thirty taels of silver each! The hot meat buns are free of charge if they are not hot!"
"If you listen to the Bodhisattva rattle often, you can understand the sound of heaven. If you have children at home, don't miss it."
"The Tiger Whip of the Rongman Tiger..."
Zhang Chu and the four of them were dazzled. There were so many things in Chuixing City, and they were so dazzling that it was dizzying to see.
Whether it is ordinary food, clothing, housing, or some treasures for cultivation, you can sell them on the street.
Of course, Zhang Chu observed carefully and found that many things were not worthy of their names, and there were not many real treasures that could make people’s eyes shine.
Zhang Chu was not stingy either. He bought a bunch of rock sugar snow lotus seeds for Xiao Guo and Hu Zi, and walked towards the inner city.
Ahead, there is a huge square.
There are six high platforms in the square, and a flag stands on each high platform.
Zhang Chu looked carefully at the flags, which were "Chongxu Cave", "Six-tusked White Elephant Temple", "Ziyang Cave", "Golden Crane Dojo", "Xuanji Gate", and "Longxiang Mountain".
Every high platform was crowded with people.
"Is this an outside sect recruiting disciples?" Tong Qingshan asked.
Zhang Chu nodded: "Probably! Let's go and see what's going on."
Zhang Chu and the others randomly chose a high platform called "Longxiang Mountain" and surrounded it.
On the high platform, there was a skinny Taoist preaching: "The so-called well of life is the root of life, the source of life, the essence of the sun, moon and stars..."
Zhang Chu didn't know what to say, so he turned his head and looked at the crowd around him.
I found that many people had their ears straightened up and their brows furrowed, looking like poor students who clearly didn’t understand but were desperately trying to understand.
Zhang Chu suddenly asked a bearded man next to him: "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Don't disturb me! Didn't you see that I was practicing?" The bearded man was very impatient and continued to be a poor student.
Zhang Chu looked at the woman next to him again: "This beauty..."
"Go, go, disciple, don't stop me from opening the well of life!" The woman didn't want to talk to Zhang Chu.
Can this open a well of life? Why are they so similar to those who engage in pyramid schemes on earth? Zhang Chu cursed in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Chu's heart moved. He took out a small piece of gold from his arms and pulled the fat man in front of him: "This fat brother!"
"Go..." Before he could finish speaking, the fat man saw the small piece of gold in Zhang Chu's hand.
The fat man's little eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly turned his head and looked at Zhang Chu and the others, with enthusiasm on his face: "Brother, you have just come to Chuixing City, right? If you don't understand anything, just ask me, I know everything."
With that said, the fat man went to get the small piece of gold in Zhang Chu's hand.
Zhang Chu pulled his hand back, preventing the fat man from touching the gold. Instead, he asked the fat man: "Fat man, what are you doing?"
"Lecture the Bible!" said the fat man.
"Is this a lecture?" Zhang Chu expressed doubts.
The Taoist on the high platform spoke in a confused and confused manner, with no structure at all. It would be strange if he could understand it.
The fat man explained: "Brother, now everyone is learning how to open a life well! As long as you open a life well, you can immediately worship the Dragon Elephant Mountain, leave the demon ruins, and cultivate to become a god!"
At this point, the fat man's expression became excited, and spittle flew everywhere:
"Do you understand if you become a god? Then you are no longer an ordinary person!"
"When the time comes, you will have whatever you want. I heard that even the emperor from the outside world would kowtow to us when he saw me, crying and shouting that he wanted to marry his wife and daughter to us!"
Although the horoscope has not yet been drawn, the fat man is extremely excited, as if he has become a god and can drink and worship the emperor outside.
Zhang Chu asked: "If you worship the Dragon Elephant Mountain, can you leave the Demon Ruins?"
The fat man nodded: "Of course! The master of Longxiang Mountain said that as long as you open the life well, you are a genius, and he will take us away!"
Zhang Chu nodded: "Thank you very much."
Then, Zhang Chu collected the gold.
When the fat man saw it, he suddenly became anxious: "Hey, you, give me the gold."
"When did I say I would give you gold???" Zhang Chu was speechless.
"If you don't give it to me, then why are you showing me the gold?" The fat man glared.
Zhang Chuze looked innocent: "I just like to hold gold in my hands. Who said I was going to give it to you? Did anyone around hear that I was going to give you money?"
Many people around them suddenly stopped listening to the "scriptures" that they didn't understand at all, and looked at Zhang Chu and Fatty.
Some people were afraid that the fat man would get rich, so they hurriedly said: "That's right, we didn't hear that they were going to give you money!"
The bearded man just now was also awe-inspiring: "You're just saying a few words to someone, how can you ask someone for gold? You fat man is so useless!"
The fat man suddenly felt aggrieved. Zhang Chu did not say that he would give him gold.
Zhang Chuze didn't blush or his heart beat. He patted the fat man on the shoulder and taught him: "Don't take things that are not yours! You must be kind!"
Next to him, Tong Qingshan looked shocked. For the first time, he discovered that Zhang Chu's personality outside seemed completely different from that in the village...
Little Putao and Huzi also had dazed expressions on their faces, as if they were thinking whether their husband had been taken away by a ghost. Why did they seem a little unreasonable?
In fact, Zhang Chu was helpless because his character was not old-fashioned to begin with.
It's just that when he was in the village, everyone called him sir and treated him with special respect, so Zhang Chu would definitely have to put on airs.
But after coming out, who knows who, Zhang Chu no longer needs to hold it.
Although the fat man was very angry, there were rules in Chuixing City and he couldn't do anything. The fat man could only be indignant: "Huh, bad luck for me!"
After saying that, the fat man turned around and walked in the other direction, unwilling to stand with Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu touched his nose. He suddenly felt that he was like a second-generation scumbag rich man on earth. Money is for beauties to see, not to spend.
A fat man is like a spoiled beauty.
At this time, Zhang Chu said to Xiao Putao: "Xiao Putao, look at the skinny Taoist on the stage. Are there any insects in his body?"
Xiao Putao glanced at the person on the stage, and then she whispered: "Sir, there are no bugs in that person's body, but everyone around him has bugs..."
Zhang Chu nodded: "Then let's wait and see how he recruits disciples."
After waiting for about half an hour, the skinny Taoist on the stage finally finished his "lecture".
In fact, he was just wasting his time, just like completing a hard task of the sect. What he said was messy and worthless, just to deal with official business.
But the ordinary people in Chuixing City couldn't tell the difference, they all seemed to be possessed by it.
After the skinny Taoist preached, he said, "Okay, today's apprenticeship ceremony has officially begun."
"Anyone who has opened a life well can come up and sign up and be paid into Longxiang Mountain immediately."
"Anyone who can lift eight thousand kilograms before opening the Mingjing Well can come to Longxiang Mountain to work as a handyman."
"By the way, you must be under 35 years old. If you are over this age, don't come. Longxiang Mountain doesn't want anyone over 35 years old."
After saying that, the skinny Taoist sat down, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for people to sign up.
