Chapter 109 Bad news
Chapter 109 Bad news
The place where the flying boat landed was not inside the Taixu Sect, but a huge city built around a high mountain.
There are no city walls, no guards, and millions of tall stone houses are built along the mountain and spiral upward.
There didn't seem to be many residents in the mountain city. It was getting dark now, and less than a third of the buildings were lit.
Compared with Youdu City, which is constantly noisy day and night, this majestic and majestic mountain city is obviously a bit too cold.
"Everyone will rest in Mangshan City for one night today, and tomorrow morning, the old Taoist will take you to the gate to meet other people."
The old Taoist priest who led the way took them to a relatively remote inn, gave a brief explanation, and then left calmly.
The people of Mingyuanwei have long been accustomed to this attitude, greeted each other, and then dispersed.
"Brother Li, we are going to visit the Ghost City in Mangshan City, will you go?"
Zuo Qiang and three teammates came over and asked him with a smile.
"Ghost city?"
Of course Li Si knew about this kind of place. Compared with the black market in Yongye Lane, the ghost market was even more unreliable.
No matter how dark the black market is, at least there is a fixed store there. A ghost market is just a whole street of street stalls, and they all disperse at dawn!
The things sold in this kind of place are basically things of bad origin, bloody and black.
Even if there are some good things in it, it is difficult for normal monks to pick them out.
And the owner of the goods will leave after selling the goods. Even if the buyer finds that he has been cheated, there is no one to settle the account.
So Li Si, who was still self-aware, immediately refused with a smile:
"I'm going to go to 'Gongming Building' to have a look first. It's a shop opened by Taixuzong himself, so it should be more reliable."
Generally, the price of this kind of official store is definitely not cheap, but the probability of fake products is much smaller.
When Li Sigang got more than 4000 high-grade spirit stones from the fighting field, and his pockets were full, he was naturally willing to spend money to buy them for peace of mind.
"We won't go to Gongming Building, the price there is too dark, not suitable for poor people like us." Zuo Qiang shook his head and said.
Of course, Ming Yuanwei cannot be really poor, but it depends on who he compares with. Moreover, even if most monks can make money, they have to plan carefully.
Practitioners need to spend too much money, and if they don't pay attention to it, their pockets will be empty.There are not many illuminated buildings in Mangshan City, but there are many pedestrians on the street.
Like Youdu City, monks and mortals live together here, but in cities under the sect's rule, the proportion of monks is obviously much higher than in secular cities.
During the three days on the flying boat, Li Si basically didn't eat anything. Now that he is in the city, he must eat and drink a lot.
Finding a restaurant with a lot of people, Li Si ordered more than a dozen dishes in a row, then closed his eyes and listened to the chatter of the people around him.
The languages of the countries in the Shenzhou Realm are all the dialects of Nanzhan Buzhou in the last era.
Although there are not small differences in the accents of different places, monks can use their divine sense to distinguish ideas, and they can quickly understand the local dialect.
"I heard that the Kunlun Golden Palace issued a decree again, requiring all branches of the Taoist sect to unify their clothing, positions, and etiquette, but was forcibly blocked by the Master of the State Teacher." A strong man with beards said with a laugh.
Sitting at a table next to Li Si were three men and one woman, all warriors at the innate level, chatting while drinking.
It was because they were chatting happily and their strength was not weak that Li Sicai deliberately sat nearby and wanted to listen to more local information so as to increase his knowledge.
"The people in Kunlun are really good at things, relying on the number of strong people in the sect, and pointing fingers everywhere. Some time ago, I heard that they also meddled in the affairs of the Twelfth Department of Zhao State, and they ended up in a mess. Now they still have the face to issue orders?"
The man in Tsing Yi sitting opposite him slammed the table and said.
"Really! Kunlun's people suffered a loss in Zhao State? With the temper of the old hag Su, they didn't come back with revenge?"
The bearded man was slightly taken aback, and asked quickly.
"It's not that there are no peak powerhouses in the Zhao country. It's fine for Kunlun to do some small tricks there. If Su Yao really dares to go there in person, are the Dijiang and Zhu Rong tribes just for nothing?"
A man with a nose ring said with a slightly disdainful expression.
Li Si had heard a long time ago that the reputation of Kunlun Golden Tower in Tianshui Kingdom was extremely polarized.
The locals either feel that they are guardians of legal principles, maintaining justice in the world.
Either they dislike them for wanting to control everything, which is more annoying than the secular imperial power.
The few people in front of them seem to be the latter.
However, Mangshan City is the territory of Taixu Sect, so it is reasonable for the monks here to be unhappy with Kunlun.
Taixu's overall strength is not as good as Kunlun's, but Yuji Tianzun, the master, is recognized as the best in the world, and one person and one sword can make Kunlun dare not go east.
As for the number of strong people in Kunlun, the entire Shenzhou world can be slightly better.
How could such a powerful party be willing to fall under others?
The man in Tsing Yi drank a glass of wine, then shook his head and said:
"Su Yao did take revenge, and it was very clever."
"Kunlun didn't provoke either the Dijiang Department or the Zhu Rong Department, but attacked the neutral Gong Gong Department."
"Beiyuan City, an important town in the north of Zhao State, was attacked last month. The city defense array was broken by a sword, and it will be difficult to repair it in a short time."
"The man who broke the city was Kunlun's 'Taiyi Sword God'. Afterwards, he was chased and killed by the strong men of the Ministry of Gonggong, and almost fell into the territory of Zhao State."
The woman who had been drinking in silence, suddenly spoke:
"This sword did not kill but killed people. It not only disturbed the situation in Zhao State, but also caused Youhuang Kingdom's cavalry to go south, and avenged their revenge by the way."
As soon as the woman's voice fell, Li Si walked over impatiently, gave a fistful salute to them, and said directly:
"Everyone, Xiao Yan was born in Beiyuan City of Zhao State. I don't know what's going on there now? Did Youhuang Kingdom's Southern Expedition Army go south to attack Zhao State?"
He was on a big ship in Youdu, but it was impossible for him not to care about Beiyuan Li's family at all.
Anyway, Li Si has lived there for several years, and the old people in the ancestral land have always treated him very well.
Li Si is not a hard-hearted person, so he must be worried about the safety of these old people.
"Little brother, I just heard some news. I don't dare to confirm whether it is true or not. You should not worry."
Although the man in Tsing Yi didn't know Li Si, he immediately opened his mouth to comfort him.
"It's okay, please tell me what you know, Xiongtai. I have invited this table today. Please help me!"
Li Si suppressed the impatience in his heart, took out two low-grade spirit stones and put them on the wine table, and then looked at each other eagerly.
It's not that he is reluctant to give up more money, but that he is greedy and charming.
If he really wants to make others think that he is a big fat sheep, he may try to fool him and not get real information at all.
