[Burn^文^Bookstore] The walls of Dongming City are majestic and majestic. They have stood firm despite the wind and frost. Every brick has left the breath of blood and fire. However, when you step into the city gate, you see ruins in front of you, dilapidated and dilapidated. After experiencing the disaster of weapons, fire and robberies, his vitality was severely damaged. 【Bookstore(7764)】.
"This...is this the fairy city you are talking about?" A monk from the Poison Dragon Sect sneered, feeling that he had been deceived by Cheng Hou. It was a waste of time to come to a place like this where wild cats don't poop.
"Yes, this is Dongming Immortal City."
Another person interjected: "Fairy city? Ghost city!"
Cheng Hou glanced at him and saw that the person speaking was Wen Shuanglu, the leader of the Beast King Sect. Among the monks in the Southern Barbarians, he had the highest cultivation level and the richest net worth. He smiled and said: "Whether it's a ghost city or a fairy city, Brother Wen has a sharp eye, can't he see the secrets of this city?"
Hearing his tone, Wen Shuanglu seemed to have a hidden agenda. He looked at it carefully and had thoughts in his heart. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he felt.
Several monks from the Poison Dragon Sect followed him, staring at him with their eyes wide open, but they couldn't see what was going on. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Wen Shuanglu withdrew his gaze, rubbed his brows, and said, "It's really a big deal. Wen Mou is willing to accept the defeat and become brothers. Is it really impossible to tell the identity of the city lord?"
Cheng Hou smiled and said: "Brother Wen, you might as well stay here for a few more days, or you may have a chance to meet the city lord."
Wen Shuanglu raised his palm and said, "Okay, as you say, I have to stay and see what you say!"
The group of people walked slowly among the ruins, and unknowingly came to an open school ground. In the center was a stone sculpture and a pool, nondescript, surrounded by a group of houses, similar in shape to shops. The roads were divided into two types: circular and straight. There are five of them, forming concentric arcs around the central pool, and eight of them are straight, radiating out like the long legs of a spider.
"Such a layout... is quite strange..." Wen Shuanglu said with a smile, stroking his three-foot clear beard.
"This is the city lord's design. To be honest, I can't understand it either."
Haha, haha, haha, hee hee, all kinds of laughter came one after another, full of good-natured ridicule. Chenghou didn't feel shy either. He moved his plump body to the side of the pool and looked up at the stone sculpture several people tall - a huge stone was pulled up from the bottom of the pool, with countless ferocious monsters poking their heads out, half of their bodies outside and half of them submerged. In the stone, there are teeth and claws, as if trying to escape from the cage, but being trapped by fate. The expressions of anger, fear, loss, and regret are all vivid and lifelike.
Among the monsters and beasts, there were several human figures, struggling in pain.
"This is...this is..."
Cheng Hou said: "This stone sculpture is called 'Refining the Demon'. The water in the pool is cool and quenches your thirst. You may wish to give it a try." As he spoke, he bent down with great effort, took a few handfuls of water with his fat palm, and brought it to his mouth. Drink half of it into your mouth and usually pour it on your chest.
Wen Shuanglu sat on the stone steps by the pool, looking up, feeling timid. There seemed to be a voice in the dark reminding him that what he was seeing was not from imagination, but had really happened somewhere. .
He learned how to make it thick, took a handful of water, and tasted it carefully. It was indeed refreshing and refreshing. When used to make tea, it was no less good than mountain snow water.
Cheng Hou pointed to the school ground and said: "If you want to set up a stall, you might as well find a place here. You can do it sooner or later, as long as you don't block the road. The surrounding shops have not been put in order, and the quality warehouse is also under preparation. It is generally the same as It’s similar to Lian Tao City.”
"Besides these old things, what else is special about Dongming City?" The question came from Ji Brahma, the protector of the Poison Dragon Sect. This person was also a Jindan cultivator and had a close personal relationship with Wen Shuanglu.
Cheng Hou hesitated for a moment and said: "Dongming City will have Silver Hook Square, Song of Silence, and Red Star Hall of Merit."
"What do you mean by these three places?"
"Silver Hook House is a gambling house, Song of Silence is a brothel. As for the Red Star Merit Hall, it has begun to take shape. Please move forward and you will know at a glance."
After that, Cheng Hou took the lead and led everyone to a large hall directly north of the school grounds. They saw carved beams and painted pillars, cornices and a plaque with the word "Red Star" inscribed on it.
Everyone stepped into the main hall. Inside the hall was enshrined "Jade Qing Zixu Gao Yuan Huang Taishang Daojun". Long pieces of paper were stuck on the merit walls on both sides. They were fluttered in the wind. Most of them were blank, and a few had writing on them.
At first, Wen Shuanglu thought it was the merit of donating the sesame oil money, but when he took a closer look, it was not the case at all.
For example, one of them reads:
Posted by: Jin Xiaodie
Term: long term
Requirements: Ten monster souls, intact, low-grade courage
Remuneration: One eye
Note: Upper-middle grade courage, interview
"Release", "Deadline", "Requirement", "Remuneration", and "Notes" are printed with woodcut ink, which is rigid and standardized, and the content is written with cinnabar red pen. The handwriting is of different sizes, like a child learning to read, and is childish. .
Jin Xiaodie, who announced the demand, was probably not Han Chinese.
Wen Shuanglu glanced at ten lines and browsed through the notes. Most of them were issued by Jin Xiaodie, involving spirits, demon pills, animal skins, animal sinews, animal bones, ores, and wood. Each item was of one product, and the price was clearly marked. , clear and distinct.
He glanced at Chenghou and said, "This is for making weapons. What kind of person is Jin Xiaodie?"
Chenghou said with a smile: "I'm just a handyman. There is another person who makes the tools, he can be called a master."
"who?"
"Master Feng Huang of Kunlun Sword Master Feng, when the shop is available, the artifacts made by Master Feng will also be sold at a reasonable price."
Wen Shuanglu had heard of Feng Huang, so calling him "Master" was no exaggeration. He nodded, hid his thoughts in his stomach, and greatly admired the design of the Red Star Merit Hall. A small move revitalized the circulation of aphrodisiac, which can be called the finishing touch. As for "turning two into one" He didn't pay much attention to the "glaring" Yin Goufang and the "flowers blooming but broken" song of silence.
"Brother Cheng is a disciple of Taiyi Sect, why did he join Kunlun?"
Cheng Hou sighed and said solemnly: "To be honest, brother Wen said that the Taiyi Sect was destroyed and the brothers had no other choice. Fortunately, the city lord took them in, so they had a place to stay. As for whether it was Kunlun or something else, I didn't care about it. A lot.”
Wen Shuanglu was not the only one who was moved. Ji Fantian came up and asked, "Where did you go to hunt for this soul demon pill?"
Cheng Houdao: "There are monsters in Jietian Ridge. Most of them are of lower grade, and occasionally there are middle grade ones. As for the upper grade spirit demon pills, you have to go to Guimen Abyss. Brother Ji also knows the dangers of Guimen Abyss. That place... It's a monster from the upper level, which is already tricky enough. If you're not 100% sure, it's better not to take risks!"
The three people did not lower their voices deliberately, and everyone listened and gathered around them.
"How will the reward be paid?"
Cheng Houdao said: "There is a side hall behind the Scarlet Star Merit Palace. Two female cultivators, Li Lanxiang and Liu Mulian, are sent by Xiandu to take turns. You can find them in exchange for rewards."
A man with a deer head and rat eyes said with a smile: "Female cultivator, she is quite rare. I don't know what she looks like..."
Cheng Hou knew the old customs of the southern barbarian land, and after hearing his frivolous words, he reminded: "Dongming City has strict rules, and there are sword cultivators in charge of the Red Star Merit Hall. Don't be surprised if you don't predict what you say."
Wen Shuanglu said: "I wonder which sword cultivator is stationed here?"
"Senior Brother Xunye from the Immortal Capital Sect." Cheng Hou paused and added, "Senior Brother Xun has already mastered the sword spirit, and he hates evil as much as his enemies. If someone offends him, he will be stripped of his skin even if he doesn't die."
When they heard that it was a sword cultivator who could defeat Nascent Soul cultivator, everyone looked at each other and gasped in unison.
