Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 460
Those who should be inquired have been inquired, and more people refused to answer, so Li Lijun thought that it was time for him to get up and leave.If you have anything to say, you can wait until tomorrow when we meet during the day.

At this time, Master Yuanguang took the initiative to mention the Fangshi near Daci'en Temple, saying that it is a good place to go, it is relatively safe, all kinds of interesting things and cultivation materials are sold, and all three religions, nine streams, human cultivators and demon cultivators will patronize both inside and outside Chang'an City , although it is smaller than the Guanzhong Cultivation Market in Huxian County, the people who can come are all with names and surnames, with a history, more reliable and more secure.

Master Yuanguang had never seen Li Lijun in this square city, guessing that she must not know this place, so he took the initiative to guide her in the direction.

Looking north from the window opening on the second floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda where they are now, there is a dense forest behind the monk's house on the north side of the Da Ci'en Temple, which faintly reveals the eaves of the house.At first Li Lijun thought it was also a monk's house, but Master Yuanguang said that to the north of the monk's house was a row of squatter houses, in which monks in charge of temple security inspection lived, and to the north of the squatter house, it looked like another row of squatter houses The building is actually a workshop, where some monks in the temple make bracelets, Buddhist incense and other peripheral products on weekdays, adding a source of income for the Da Ci'en Temple.

Every ten days on the eighth day, the workshop will stop working, and all monks will leave, leaving no one behind.At night, when it gets dark, the place turns into a market, welcoming merchants, hawkers and customers from all directions, and stopping at sunrise and dawn.Every ten days and three times a month, it has been hundreds of years since the opening of the market.

This square market opened more times than the Guanzhong Xiuzhen Market, but the time was very short, just one night.If the vendors are temporarily out of stock, both parties to the transaction can also negotiate to continue the transaction in another place, or wait until the next market opening night to continue.If any disputes arise, they can be brought back to Fangshi and asked the eminent monks of the Consciousness-Wei Sect to make a judgment.This mechanism has been working well for hundreds of years. Although there have been cases of being deceived and even being robbed and killed, the proportion is not high, because most of the people who can come here are registered monks or monks with clear identities. Demon cultivators, at worst, must be brought in by registered monks or demon cultivators. Once something happens, it is easy to follow the clues and investigate.

Now Li Lijun has registered with Master Yuanguang as a wild monk from the clan.With Master Yuanguang as the guarantee, she can enter and leave the market freely.As long as she abides by the internal rules of Fangshi, no one can cheat or buy and sell by force-in fact, no one can do such a thing.The cultivators who often come to Yantafang City are usually not high-level, mainly in the early and middle stages of Qi refining, and there are few big monsters among the demon cultivators.Li Lijun entered Fangshi with the eighth level of Qi Refining, and he is already a big boss that everyone respects.Master Yuan Guang wanted to persuade her in turn, don't be as knowledgeable as those little demons and Xiaoxiu, if anyone offends her, just report to him, he will deal with it, but she had better not do it herself.

Li Lijun answered vaguely first.How can such a thing be guaranteed in advance?If someone really bullied her, how could she be restrained because of Master Yuanguang's request?
With Master Yuanguang's guidance, Li Lijun also figured out how to get to Fangshi, so I decided to go to explore it tonight.Tonight happens to be the eighth day of October. If you don't go now, there will be nowhere to enter Xunfang City tomorrow.

She bid farewell to Master Yuanguang, confessed her guilt, and flew out directly from the window opening on the second floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, passed through numerous monk's houses and forests, and reached the top of the wall behind the hut.

Beyond the other side of the wall, there is indeed a long row of houses behind, which look almost exactly the same as the squatters in the south, very inconspicuous.If it wasn't so close, who would know that this place is outside the wall of Da Ci'en Temple?There is a small door in the wall, but it is tightly closed at the moment.

Only the first room in this row of houses was lit with candles, and all the houses behind were dark and silent, and they didn't look like they were inhabited.

At the door of the first room, there was an old monk in gray who was meditating and chanting sutras. It seemed that his cultivation had reached the sixth or seventh level of Qi refining. He raised his eyes to look at Li Lijun, then closed his eyes again, and continued to count Buddha beads and chant sutras without any greeting. meant, but did not hinder.

Li Lijun titheed, and then, as Master Yuanguang said, he raised the curtain beside the old monk and walked into the house.

The room is a simple and unadorned monk’s room, with a large wooden couch against the wall. There is a door opening on the east side, and a curtain is hung tightly, as if there is another monk’s room behind the curtain.On the ground at the side of the door, against the wall, there is an old plaque with four characters of "Yantafang City" written in official script. People who don't know it probably think that this is just an abandoned plaque somewhere, and it seems to be placed on the ground casually. of.

Li Lijun raised the curtain, and the voices of people behind her immediately reached her ears.

Behind the curtain is not a quiet monk's house, but a narrow long street, above which you can see the night sky, below are two rows of shops in the north and south, filled with lanterns everywhere, all kinds of cries and bargaining sounds come and go, the shops are full of street people All kinds of people dressed in clothes, including monks and Taoists, men and women, and demon cultivators with different descriptions, came and went, bustling with indescribable excitement.

And all this is completely invisible from the outside world.

Li Lijun stood there in a daze for a long time before walking towards the market.

Only a few people noticed her face, and most of them only paid attention to their own transactions.She was walking on the narrow street, and soon heard a Taoist on the left negotiating with the monk who opened the shop: "My alchemy has not come easily, how can I sell you so cheaply? Let's add another [-]%?" After a while, there was another man on the right A pheasant spirit complained to the clerk: "My gold is the best product from Taibai Mountain, why can't I buy your product?!"

Li Lijun strolled all the way with great interest, admiring the lively scene that cannot be seen in the Guanzhong Xiuzhen Fair, thinking that there is indeed something interesting here.

Most of the people who come and go in this square city are junior and middle-level Qi-refining monks, and the demon cultivators are generally little demons.Li Lijun is used to restraining his pressure, so no one noticed that there was a big man at the eighth level of Qi refining coming in.It's just that when she went to pick goods from other people's stalls, the shopkeepers or the guys felt something, and they didn't dare to brag in front of her, let alone shoddy.When she became interested in any goods, they would honestly report the name, origin and function of the goods, and the price was based on the real market price. Customers who were familiar with them couldn't help but look sideways.

Li Lijun bought two strings of good agarwood bracelets, which can calm the mind and have a slight effect of exorcising evil.In addition, there is a bronze rattle, which is very effective against ordinary demons, ghosts and sprites. It can be transformed into a wind chime, and it is very good to hang under the eaves of your own house.She also found a wooden fish in the shop of Weizhizong in Fangshi.

These few things are available to mortals.Although it is still not up to the grade of magic weapon, the effect is already very good.It is a very good souvenir to send to family members.

Li Lijun asked the monks of Weizhizong how to open a shop and sell goods in this square market, and he left after he had a good plan.

At this time, the eastern sky was already white.This phase of Yantafang City will also be closed.
