Xianlu

Chapter 131
Going up the promenade, Xu Dao saw many mortals climbing the mountain. Many of them passed out beside the road, but their hands and feet were still climbing.

The strong Taoist priest saw it, and said lightly: "Once these mortals successfully reach the top of the mountain, even if they are not favored by the women of Shezhao, they can still work as handymen on the mountain. Although this is not the ladder to the sky, but It is also a rare path to seek immortality."

After he finished speaking, he asked casually: "I don't know where your master is from, but the master is a relative of this Shezhao?"

When Xu Dao heard this, his thoughts changed slightly, and he replied: "A certain family of loose cultivators in the mountains is not a sect. Although the master has the means to raise Gu, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Shezhao tribe."

After saying these words, Xu Dao saw that the Taoist priest's face did not change, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

The brawny Taoist laughed, pointed at himself and said, "The poor Taoist is also a casual cultivator."

The man then pointed to the dead mortal on the stairs, and said:
"When I seek immortality to learn Taoism, I will be tested for several years or even ten years before the master will really give me the way, and then I will serve tea and water, and I will be beaten and scolded for several years... When the skills are small, but I am restrained." In the inheritance of the teacher, the road ahead is confused, and you have to look around for opportunities to have a chance to break through."

"Although it is difficult for these mortals to climb the mountain, once they reach the high mountain, as long as they have good qualifications and looks, they can be favored by Shezhao women and directly join the Zoshezhao tribe. It is much easier to say than us casual cultivators. If it was..."

Hearing the Taoist's exclamation, Xu Dao didn't take it seriously.

It's not that he has practiced Taoism since he was a child, and he didn't know that the Dharma is hard to come by, and it is hard to buy with a thousand gold, but that he doesn't believe that the Shezhao tribe will be as generous as the rumors, and will easily open up the Taoism to the men of the Ruzhu tribe.

Having said that, Xu Dao raised his eyes to look at the maze in front of him, and sighed softly in his heart.

Right now he has only broken through to the late stage of Qi refining, and with the Sanyin White Bone Fork given by the original Taoist priest, there is no lack of methods for the Qi refining stage for the time being, but when the Qi refining is completed, there is no way to establish the foundation.

Even at the moment, he still doesn't know what the foundation is all about, he only knows that the foundation needs to plant spiritual roots and cultivate the dharma body, but he doesn't know what the spiritual roots and dharma body are.

Xu Dao secretly thought in his heart: "I don't want to get the foundation-building method in this edict, but I just want to know what the foundation is, and where there are profound Taoism, so that people can search for immortals and visit Taoism... Look, it's really too closed!"

He was pondering in his mind, and suddenly heard the strong Taoist priest next to him say again: "Hey! In front is the Shezhao ghost market."

The two had already climbed to the top of She Mountain, Xu Dao looked forward, his eyes suddenly brightened.

The clouds and mist drooped in front of his eyes, and carved beams and painted buildings, cornices and bucket arches appeared in his eyes. They were different from the Diaojiao Village and other buildings at the foot of the mountain, and they were more Chinese and immortal.

Among them, most of the people who came and went were dressed in fancy clothes and Taoist robes, with inspiration emerging from their bodies, and they behaved like practitioners.

And different from the Temple of Bones, the people in Shezhao Ghost City have different expressions, among them there are those who are happy, those who are rebellious, and those who are lifeless... It is not like in the Temple of Bones, all of them are pale and gloomy. .

With so many different cultivators gathered together, at least it would be easy for Xu Dao to inquire about news here.

And he also saw shops such as elixir, talisman shops, and teahouses in the ghost market. This is different from the ghost market in the Temple of Bones, not all of them are stalls, which is much more convenient.

Looking at the scene of the ghost market full of fireworks, Xu Dao thought to himself: "Compared to the ghost market in the Temple of Bones, this is the ghost market! Maybe it should be called 'Mountain City'"

On the other side, the brawny Taoist priest and Xu Dao stepped into the ghost market together. The man didn't continue to exchange greetings, but cupped his hands and said: "The ghost market has arrived. This place is like a mortal market. There are no stealing, no fighting, There are rules such as no killing.”

"Fellow daoists can go shopping on their own and learn more about it. The poor daoist still has important things to do, so I will leave first."

"Fellow Daoist, let's get busy first." Xu Dao hurried back, his Yin spirit was half visible in the swarm of insects, and he bowed to him to thank him for his introduction along the way.

The Taoist priest of the strong man nodded and replied: "Good." Then he flicked his sleeve robe, strode away, and walked into the crowd in an instant, as if he really had something urgent to do.

When this person walked away, Xu Daofang realized that the two of them didn't even communicate with each other's names, let alone leave their contact information.

"This person is really old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and he didn't even leave his name."

He stood at the gate of the ghost city and sighed, without moving for a while.

A sharp-eyed Taoist boy in Miao clothes nearby saw it and ran up in a small step. Among them, there were old and young, and they all asked, "Do you want to know the latest news in Fangshi?"

Xu Dao heard it, but didn't answer. He shook his head, and with a flash, he also stepped into the ghost market.

These Taoist boys in the realm of fetal breath were arranged by Shezhao at the door, and they had the function of observing people coming and going and guiding outsiders at the same time.Just now, the Taoist priest of the strong man had already talked to Xu Dao, and also introduced the situation in Xiagui City, so that he would not waste money.

But Xu Dao is not in a hurry right now, he has plenty of time to hang out, besides, he just came here as a ghost, he didn't bring a dollar amulet with him, and he didn't have money to pay the tour guide fee at all.

As soon as he floated into the ghost market, Xu Dao stopped again and looked behind him.

At the end of the corridor, there was a mortal coming out exhausted, sweating profusely, and his face was pale, which attracted many people to glance over.

When this mortal sees the brightly lit and suddenly clear scene in front of him, his eyes are in a trance, his face is overjoyed, and he shouts: "I'm coming up! I'm coming up!"

Immediately, a Taoist girl in Miao clothes, Yingyingyanyan, came out, stepped forward and pulled the mortal, leading him staggeringly away, and said in her mouth: "What a strong and strong gentleman! You come up, come up!"

There were also Taoist girls in Miao clothes who were huddled at the entrance but did not come forward. Seeing Xu Dao stop again, they smiled and winked at Xu Dao, and boldly said:
"The Taoist priest just saw that he came up today, but he wants to go down with us, playing tricks!"

I don't know how these people can see Xu Dao's face from the cloudy face.Xu Dao couldn't help laughing when he heard their teasing.

"It's really not as strict as in the Temple of White Bones. With their backs against the Shezhao, these fetal-breathing Taoist boys dare to tease Taoists who are refining Qi."

It is said that the so-called mulberry forest wild marriage custom in the Shezhao is that these female Taoist boys who have not yet entered the qi refining will choose a husband and son-in-law from among the strong and strong mortals who have boarded the ghost market, and marry each other to benefit from each other.

In addition to ordinary people, foreign Qi-refining disciples can naturally marry these girls, and Qi-refining disciples are more attractive to Shezhao girls.

It's just that the Taoists will have the wild methods of the Taoists, and most of them will not choose the fetal breath Taoist boy as their target, but even so, just a few romantic moments are of great benefit to women at the Taoist level.

Laughing in his heart, Xu Dao suppressed his thoughts, and the Yin God drifted towards the brightly lit ghost city.

Mixed among all kinds of monks, he looked at the sparkling objects around him, and found that there were herbs, pills, spells, monsters... There was even a shop sign with the word "magic weapon" written on it, which caught his eyes. Quite looking forward to it.

Once it is confirmed that there is no great danger here, Xu Dao will bring the talisman money over here, make a lot of purchases here, and take a good rest.
