Chapter 864 Beauty Snake!Southeast Liang Prince's Mansion!Cool aunt!Enter the ancient city!
Li Yanchu asked: "When did the ancient city appear?"

Zhou Shunfeng shook his head: "I was exploring Jiufeng Mountain before and accidentally entered a secret realm. When I came out, I met a group of people entering the ancient city. I followed them in confusedly. As for when the ancient city appeared, I am not sure. .”

Li Yanchu's eyes lit up: "You entered a secret realm in Jiufeng Mountain earlier? What kind of secret realm?"

Zhou Shunfeng was stunned. He didn't know why this fellow Taoist Cao Cao was more interested in this matter.
But the other party saved his life, and judging from his words and deeds, he was a righteous person, so Zhou Shunfeng explained:

"It was a desert, with the scorching sun in the sky. There was a kind of alien race with a human upper body and a snake lower body, and there were also terrifying poisonous scorpions."

"Snake man?"

"good."

Zhou Shunfeng replied: "The women among them are very beautiful, and the ratio of men to women is about half and half."

Li Yanchu nodded slightly and suddenly said: "That secret realm that Fellow Daoist Zhou entered in a small boat earlier?"

Zhou Shunfeng was startled, shook his head and said: "No, I originally encountered the Ghost Bride and other evil things in the fog, and then I was directly involved in the secret realm, and finally left in a daze."

At this point, he suddenly realized: "Fellow Taoist Cao Cao was also in this Jiufeng Mountain before?"

Li Yanchu nodded: "Yes, there was a big river here before. It was suspected to be the river of the underworld. There were many dead people in the river, and the river was filled with gloom. I took a boat and entered a wild world."

Zhou Shunfeng looked shocked.
I didn't expect to have such a connection with this fellow Taoist Cao Cao.
"So, I'm afraid there is more than one secret realm in Jiufeng Mountain. It seems to be the entrance to many secret realms."

Zhou Shunfeng is extremely interested in exploring secret realms, and can be said to be a professional master.

The more he talked, the more excited he became: "Usually such places have great opportunities themselves, and they are never naturally formed."

He paused for a moment and then continued:

"Like Weicheng in Beifeng County, there were the Jade Altar Blessed Land and the Lingxu Blessed Land there. I suspect it is also a place similar to Jiufeng Mountain."

After hearing Zhou Shunfeng's words, Li Yanchu also had a look of thought in his eyes and thought:
"Was it because many worlds were sealed back then, like Gaobu Village, or was there another reason?"

Zhou Shunfeng said: "My Taoist friend Cao is so advanced, why don't we all form a team to explore this ancient city."

Li Yanchu shook his head: "Thank you, fellow Taoist Zhou, for your kindness. I'm used to walking alone on the trail."

For no reason, Zhou Shunfeng's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he felt that these words were somewhat familiar, but he did not take them to heart and said with a smile:

"Since we are forming a team, we will not let our fellow Taoists suffer. To be honest, I am good at the art of Qimen Dunjia. I have dug many large tombs and entered this ancient city once. I can at least serve as a guide for my fellow Taoists. "

Li Yanchu glanced at Zhou Shunfeng and remembered that he had told some interesting stories about digging graves last time.

It's just that he rejected Zhou Shunfeng last time. This time Li Yanchu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's form a temporary team. If it's not suitable, we will separate."

Zhou Shunfeng nodded: "This is natural."

He breathed a sigh of relief. By teaming up with such an unfathomable master, he could explore the ancient city to a greater extent.
There are some places that I didn’t dare to go to before, but now I can try my luck.
Furthermore, I have great luck and good luck, and I can always turn misfortune into auspiciousness and turn misfortune into good fortune. When the time comes, I am afraid that if I pick up an item at random, it will be a rare magic weapon.
Just like this simple booklet on my body.

Zhou Shunfeng is extremely confident in his own luck.

........................

Li Yanchu came to this ancient city with him.
At this time, a group of people happened to enter the ancient city.

They were a group of guards wearing armor, carrying long bows, and with sharp eyes. They numbered about sixty or seventy.
These people were surrounded by a carriage. The carriage looked very spacious and a bit noble. It looked like it was not ordinary. It should be engraved with some kind of formation.
The one pulling the carriage is not an ordinary horse, but a strange beast, which looks like a brave beast and has a powerful aura.
There are also more than a dozen people in white, with indifferent temperaments, both male and female.
This group of people appeared in the fog deep in Jiufeng Mountain, but they were not affected by the illusion of the fog at all.
Maybe I was too stimulated by the golden summit of Mount Emei.

Even such a huge force has no intention of monopolizing this ancient city this time.

A group of people filed in,

Soon, it disappeared into the vast ancient city.

"The scene in this row is quite big!"

Li Yanchu was a little emotional.

There is an awe-inspiring aura about this group of people.

This is not an aura that a practitioner can have, but rather like someone from a government official.

Zhou Shunfeng explained on the side: "This is a person from Prince Liang's palace."

Prince's Mansion... Li Yanchu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment,
He didn't want to cause trouble before, so he didn't investigate the owner of this carriage.
Zhou Shunfeng said: "Yes, the Liang Prince's Mansion in the southeast is also an ancient cultivation family. The Liang family is located in the southeast and has countless masters under its sect."

"Those who wear armor are all Qigong practitioners of the Liang family. The armor on their bodies has the function of isolating the fog and protecting the purity of the spiritual platform from being eroded by demons."

"The qi is connected with each other. If you look carefully, the breathing is consistent, just like the military formations in some records, the army's formation specifically for practitioners."

Zhou Shunfeng explained these things eloquently. After all, he had spent some time in Jiufeng Mountain.

Nowadays, in the age of great strife, the shackles of heaven and earth are loosened, various secluded families are born, and some young geniuses break through the realm and step into the Yangshen. The original Yangshen masters also have some insights and make further progress.
This is an era full of opportunities.

Li Yanchu raised his head and looked at the ancient city. The ancient city was dozens of feet high and was made of a black stone. It was completely integrated.
It doesn't look like it was made by craftsmen, but more like someone used great magic to make it.

There are some terrifying claw marks on the city wall, several feet in size, and the aura is sharp.

I don’t know what kind of brutal battles they experienced back then.

This is indeed a majestic ancient city. Li Yanchu's eyes fell on it and he explored it with his spiritual consciousness, but found that the ancient city had a prohibition on isolating exploration.

After a brief glance, he and Zhou Shunfeng entered the ancient city together.

This ancient city is no different from an ordinary town, except that it is larger, with crisscross streets and various shops on both sides.
The size is the same as that of ordinary human cities, but the whole body is made of black stone.

Zhou Shunfeng said from the side: "There are some very magical places in this city. There is a grocery store in the east where you can trade items."

Li Yanchu was startled: "Is there anyone alive in the exchange city?"

Zhou Shunfeng shook his head: "They are not living people, they are ghosts and gods from the underworld."

"Further south there is a market. When it gets dark, there will be many vendors setting up stalls there. They do not accept yellow or white goods, but only accept barter."

Li Yanchu asked: "Are the monks trading there?"

Zhou Shunfeng shook his head: "No, at least I didn't see any monks. They are all ghosts and gods from the underworld."

He looked around and said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Cao, I didn't see any black and white impermanence chasing me."

Black and white are impermanent... Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows and said: "This ancient city is somewhat interesting. I thought it was an abandoned dead city, but I didn't expect that there are so many ghosts and gods in the underworld."

suddenly,

A woman's laughter came from beside me,
Li Yanchu turned around and saw that she was a young woman wearing purple clothes. She had a slim figure and a curvy front and back. Although she was not very old, she was already very well developed.

Seeing Li Yanchu turn his eyes, the woman looked at him without fear.
Obviously, this is an extremely bold woman,

But after the woman saw Li Yanchu's appearance clearly, a blush appeared on her face, and a hint of surprise flashed in her big, watery eyes.
"Huh? Is there such a beautiful person in the world?"

There was a middle-aged Taoist nun beside him who scolded softly: "You are causing trouble! Leave quickly."

The middle-aged Taoist nun is 35 or [-] years old. She is not beautiful. Her pair of pink and phoenix eyes give people a very untouchable feeling. She is dressed simply, with a wooden hairpin in her hair and a white jade whisk in her hand.

The purple-clothed girl withdrew her gaze and stuck out her tongue at the middle-aged Taoist nun: "Auntie, I understand, and I don't mean any harm."

This action makes the purple-clothed girl very playful and cute.

The middle-aged Taoist nun said with a straight face: "If you escape from home, I promise to let you enter this ancient city to broaden your horizons. If you cause trouble, I will send you back."

The girl in purple quickly promised: "Auntie, I can't do it. I like auntie the most. I will definitely listen to you."

The middle-aged Taoist nun nodded coldly, her eyes fell on Li Yanchu, and she nodded slightly as a greeting.

Then she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking:

"No wonder this girl suddenly stopped. It turns out she was looking at the parents' good looks!"

Li Yanchu also nodded slightly. He would not attack others just because they smiled for no reason.
He's not that free.He turned to Zhou Shunfeng and said, "Friend Zhou, why don't you take me to that shop first? I haven't seen the ghosts and gods of the underworld doing business."

Zhou Shunfeng looked away from the two women and said, "Okay."

…………

The two of them soon arrived at the shop of ghosts and gods in the underworld.
It looked like an ordinary grocery store, with a young man standing in front of the counter.

He is seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looks extremely weak. He is wearing the clothes of a police officer. He does not look like a clerk, but more like a ghost servant.

Li Yanchu raised his eyebrows,
"Is this still an official store?"

The young man saw Li Yanchu and Zhou Shunfeng walking in and said to Zhou Shunfeng, "Brother is here again. What good things do you want this time?"

Zhou Shunfeng said with a smile: "I won't buy anything this time, but bring friends to open my eyes."

The young man had a bright smile, without any hint of ghostliness.

"This is our honor. I didn't expect Taoist disciples to patronize the shop. Whatever the Taoist master wants, just say it!"

Li Yanchu frowned. This underworld guy was completely different from what he imagined.
He originally expected to see an expressionless dead man, similar to an NPC who could only issue tasks.

But I didn’t expect it to be so active!

It's just that Li Yanchu thought, Zhou Shunfeng is also a disciple of Longhu Mountain. Hearing this, the other party can't tell the difference from the aura of the technique, but just looks at the dress?

Li Yanchu suddenly became curious about this place.

He asked softly: "What on earth is this place?"

The young man smiled and said, "Did the Taoist ask about the small shop or the city?"

Li Yanchu's mouth twitched: "Of course I'm asking about this city."

The young man's smile did not change: "If the Taoist priest asks for the name of the store, I can tell you that this is Zhang San's Grocery Store. But if the Taoist priest asks for the name of this city, I will not know."

Zhang San Grocery Store... Li Yanchu frowned and said, "Do you not know the name of this city, or are you unwilling to say it?"

The young man shook his head and said, "I really don't know."

Li Yanchu had no intention of learning information about this city from these ghosts and gods in the underworld so easily.
Although this extremely enthusiastic young man’s smile is a bit chilly, it is not sinister.

Under Li Yanchu's eyes, this young man was indeed full of yin energy, but there was no blood evil aura. Instead, he gave people an upright aura.
Li Yanchu asked: "Is your name Zhang San?"

The young waiter smiled and said, "No, Zhang San is the owner of our store, and my name is Shangguan Zhuxi."

Li Yanchu: "………………"

Zhou Shunfeng "……………………"

Li Yanchu looked at this young man, a little surprised.
This young man's name doesn't sound like a minions name.

There was no evil aura on the other party, and Li Yanchu did not act rashly.

After a moment of silence, he then asked: "Your store is empty, what are you selling?"

This young man who looked extremely weak became interested when he heard this.
"The business scope of the store is very wide. To sum it up simply, the store sells whatever you need."

Li Yanchu clicked his tongue and said, "What a loud tone."

The young man nodded and said, "Who says it's not the case? But the boss asked us to say so. We can't help it, but it's not actually false propaganda. Taoist priest, if you really want something, you can just say it."

When Li Yanchu faced such a passionate and frank ghost,

Instead, he was questioned.

This time he came to the ancient city in Jiufeng Mountain not to find any treasures, but to investigate the invasion of the underworld.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yanchu suddenly said: "Is the news for sale?"

"Sell!"

Shangguan Zhuxi, a young man whose name was extremely inconsistent with his attire, said:
"Different news, different prices, what does the Taoist want to ask?"

Li Yanchu said calmly: "What exactly is the invasion of the underworld?"

Zhou Shunfeng on the side heard this and his eyes widened in astonishment.

The young man Shangguan Zhuxi was also stunned for a moment, dumbfounded.

But after a brief period of shock, he restored his enthusiastic smile: "The news that the Taoist asked is very exciting. The invasion of the underworld is a big deal."

Li Yanchu frowned: "I don't know or can't tell?"

Shangguan Zhuxi said seriously: "This news requires more money."

Li Yanchu: "..."

He is now rich and has a sect, so resources are not a problem for him at all.
"What's the price of this news?"

Shangguan Zhuxi smiled and said: "A Yang God of a monk in the third realm."

Li Yanchu frowned: "What else can't it do?"

Shangguan Zhuxi smiled and said: "This is the rule of our store. Each item has the same price and no exchanges are accepted."

You set the price at will, and you said you are not the boss... Li Yanchu sneered: "A master of the three realms is not a cabbage, a sun god? How dare you speak."

Shangguan Zhuxi said seriously: "The shop only does business, not killing people. If the Taoist Master wants to do this business, he should bring a Yang God of the Third Realm."

Li Yanchu's face darkened: "Although I don't kill people, but in this kind of business, your store is not much better!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to fall out, Shangguan Zhuxi said calmly: "Taoist Master, please think clearly. If you take action in this ancient city, it will cause great terror, and you may even be forcibly expelled from the city. It's not worth it."

Unexpectedly, Li Yanchu didn't take it seriously at all and snorted: "So what, I just came in for a casual look. Are you threatening me?"

As Li Yanchu finished speaking,
A pressure as strong as a mountain spread across the air,
Shangguan Zhuxi: “………………”

There was a thump in his heart, and he was a little nervous.

Where did such a father come from? !
His originally calm temperament was a little broken, and he quickly explained: "Master Taoist, please don't have any misunderstandings. I didn't make it clear just now. It doesn't have to be the righteous path. It can also be the devil's path. Isn't this to act for heaven and kill two birds with one stone?"

Li Yanchu snorted coldly when he heard this.
However, he put away his terrifying power like a mountain and turned into a handsome Taoist as gentle as jade.

"It's still like a human saying."

Zhou Shunfeng on the side also breathed a sigh of relief. It felt like he was carrying a big mountain on his shoulders. You know, he is a master of the three realms.
Although I have just realized the Tao and have broken through into the three realms and condensed Yang Shen,

But there shouldn't be such a huge gap between him and fellow Taoist Cao next to him.

………………

The two of them temporarily retreated from Zhang San's grocery store.
Li Yanchu had just tried it. He could use his cultivation skills in the city. There were no weird rules here.

Zhou Shunfeng walked on the street, looking at the dark and depressing houses on both sides,
Li Yanchu said: "This ancient city is different from ordinary ghost towns."

Zhou Shunfeng nodded: "Yes, there are many dangerous places in this city, but there are also treasures hidden in them. Fellow Taoist Cao, can I take you in for a walk?"

Li Yanchu nodded. He was idle anyway, and he wanted to take a closer look at this ancient city that suddenly appeared in the mist of Jiufeng Mountain.

He did not ask Zhou Shunfeng what he had previously traded in the grocery store. After all, this was Zhou Shunfeng's privacy.

The two of them walked in this ancient city, not walking very fast, especially Li Yanchu who was standing beside him seemed to be here for a visit.
