Chapter 231 Backing City

Perhaps Master Kudu's reputation was too good, and perhaps Elder He trusted his apprentice very much, but he was not suspicious of Pu Yanlan's words at all. After hearing this, he nodded and said,

"My teacher guesses that it probably has something to do with the magic circle in the ground!"

Master Kudu said that he was taking Yanlan to do something, and then there were waves of vibrations from the ground. No matter how you think about it, it has something to do with it!

Then he asked,

"Senior Kudu, did you have any advice on how to make alchemy?"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"It is true. Senior Kudu is indeed a great monk. It only takes a few words to make the disciples enlightened!"

In order to maintain his image as a master, Ku Du really answered Pu Yanlan's questions, but the exercises he promised to strengthen his soul were already empty promises and could not be cashed in!
Elder He asked again,
"What happened in the magic circle?"

Pu Yanlan responded,
"I think Master already knows that the life of the giant black turtle that maintains the magic circle has expired, and there are loopholes in the magic circle. Senior Kudu sent his disciples to check, and after seeing it, he reported to several seniors... "

Then he told Elder He about the situation under the ground where the true spiritual karma was full of fire, the wind was blowing, and the gray fog was filled. Elder He looked solemnly and said,

"This is indeed a sign that the giant turtle's spiritual energy has collapsed. In such a dangerous place, it would be too risky for Senior Kudu to let you, a junior at the fifth level of Qi training, go!"

Pu Yanlan secretly thought,
"How do you think that bald old bald donkey is a good person? Your apprentice is not only risking his life by going down there, he is risking his life. Fortunately, I escaped with great luck!"

It's just that I can't tell the truth, and I have to cover my face with that bald donkey.

"High-level monks are not allowed to enter the magic circle. Senior Kudu gave the apprentice a magic weapon for self-defense. He only went down to check, so there is not much danger!"

Elder He nodded and said,

"That's it this time. If something like this happens again in the future, you can tell me quietly and I will come up with a way to excuse you. Although the other party is a great monk, our Tianyi Sect is not a ball of mud that can be kneaded by others. He has to think carefully even if he wants to use his power to overwhelm others!”

"Yes!"

When Pu Yanlan heard this, she felt at ease and secretly thought,
"Sure enough, the masters still really love me!"

In fact, Liu Wendao also asked her about the Wanzhou Conference earlier. Pu Yanlan also told Liu Wendao about this. Liu Wendao frowned after hearing this. He was the head of the sect, and there was no elder He. He was so easy to fool, so he asked Pu Yanlan a lot of questions, and Pu Yanlan hesitated almost to the point of being exposed. Fortunately, Liu Wenwen didn't doubt his apprentice, but he did suspect Kudu Master, and he just thought it was him. Master Kudu asked his disciple to do something shameful. The disciple was afraid of the opponent's power and did not dare to bring trouble to the sect, so he did not say anything about it. Liu Wenwen also told his disciple, "If anything like this happens again in the future, please tell me." Give it to Master, even if you let Master go, I won’t nod. You can just come and ask Master to make the decision, and I will find a way out for you!”

The two masters, Pu Yanlan, really loved her sincerely!
Pu Yanlan stayed in the Valley of Fire for a day, and on the second day she used Tianyi Sect's magic circle to go to Dumo Prefecture Baigui Cave to meet the old ghost Mu. This time, neither master stopped her from taking her maid with her. , the two of them teleported to a small town closest to Baigui Cave.

Dumo Prefecture is adjacent to Baima Prefecture, and the topography is very different from Baima Prefecture. Baima Prefecture has mountains, water, plains and lakes, while nine out of ten in Dumo Prefecture are mountains of different heights, and most of them are The mountain is steep, and there is only a thin layer of water, grass, and soil covering the mountain. After a heavy rain, flash floods often occur in the mountain. As a result, the mountainous area, which originally had little farming land, has become increasingly barren. Therefore, the people of Dumo Prefecture live Hardship and generally poverty.

Although it is not easy to grow crops here, because it is a mountainous area, it is very rich in minerals. The reserves of iron, copper, gold, silver and other minerals needed by the mortal world are very rich, and there are also many spiritual veins that cultivators love most, but these mineral veins are It is in the hands of several sects in the world of secular government and cultivation, so the people in Dumo Prefecture live a difficult life, but the dignitaries and various sects are extremely rich.

And because there are few products here, what is not produced in the state can only be transported here from other places. Therefore, the prices of daily necessities such as grain and salt are extremely high. Naturally, rich people are not afraid of it, but the common people are becoming more and more miserable, so they cannot live. Many of the people who went down went up the mountains and became bandits who blocked roads and robbed people. Therefore, Dumo Prefecture became famous in the mainland where there are many bandits, robbers, thieves and swindlers!

The Baigui Cave that the two of them were going to was originally an ancient mine. It was a spiritual vein mine that had been mined thousands of years ago. Countless miners died here during the mining. After the spiritual veins were severed, this place gradually became a place where Yin Qi gathered. Over the millennium, many evil ghosts were raised, and several ghost kings were also born, wreaking havoc in the nearby mountains and killing people. As a result, within a radius of a hundred miles, no humans or animals dared to stay here for a long time, and even passers-by had to stay far away and did not dare to pass by. This is when the name Baigui Cave came from.

Later, a ghost monk named Mu Tiangang heard about the name of this place and rushed here with his disciples all the way. In his eyes, what was a terrifying place in the eyes of others was the blessed land of Cave Heaven, a good place for cultivation. So the mountain gate was moved here, and even the name of the original sect was no longer used. When the disciples went out to practice, they all claimed to be from the Baigui Cave. They had made a name for themselves over the thousands of years. Now everyone talks about the great master of Dumozhou. All sects must mention Baigui Cave.

Baigui Cave is surrounded by evil ghosts all day long. Although he is a righteous monk, he is incompatible with the other sects and rarely interacts with them. However, Liu Wenwen, the leader of the Tianyi Sect, does not know why he has contact with the Hundred Ghosts. He became friends with Old Ghost Mu in the cave, and he asked for help from Old Ghost Mu, but he also got a bit of favor, so he got Pu Yanlan to travel this time.

Pu Yanlan and Gu Shiyi arrived at a small town near Baigui Cave. They stayed here temporarily for a day to relieve the fatigue of the magic circle transmission. The small town was built on a mountain and was named very aptly, Guoshan.

The small town on the mountain really relies on the mountain. The stone houses built along the mountain are lined up in four rows on the ridge. Among them are the three most prosperous streets. There are ups and downs along the way. The locals have long been used to it, and the outsiders are used to it. It is inevitable that I will be out of breath after walking too much, and the architecture here is very unique. All the stone houses are not made of huge stones carved and stacked, but are made of palm-thick and palm-leaf-sized stone slabs layered on top of each other. Rice slurry is mixed with egg white, glutinous rice, etc. to increase the stickiness, and the beams of the house are made from big trees growing in the mountains.

In this mountain city, every household has a spacious hall with a deep square pit in the middle where firewood burns. Clay pots are hung above to cook food. When sleeping, the whole family sleeps in a circle around the fire pit with their heads facing it to keep out the cold of the mountains at night.

When Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan first arrived, they were very surprised when they saw the rows of beds on the ground. They were even more surprised when they heard that in this inn, men, women, old and young all slept together in the same hall. Naturally, they were not used to this, so they paid a lot of money and went to a small hall on the second floor, where only the two of them slept.

However, because the roof of this stone house is not sealed, the movement in the next room can be clearly heard. The sound of walking can be heard all night, and the coughing and farting can be heard clearly. Fortunately, The two of them are now cultivators. They can regain their vitality by meditating without sleeping. In the past, when they woke up the next day, they would definitely have two big dark circles on their faces!
The two spent the night like this, and early the next morning they asked the innkeeper about the way to Baigui Cave. When the boss heard that they were going to Baigui Cave, he immediately became silent and said,
"It turned out to be the cultivator who was dealing with Baigui Cave. You are really neglectful!"

So he refused to accept the rent no matter what. Gu Shiyi pushed and pushed him back and forth several times. Seeing that the other party really refused to accept it, he had no choice but to accept it. Then he and Pu Yanlan went out and followed the path pointed by the shopkeeper. , all the way up the mountain, Baigui Cave is still nearly a hundred miles away from the mountain city. You need to climb two mountains, and then go all the way down to a deep valley in the mountains, where the gate of Baigui Cave is located. .

The two of them walked through the city and saw that under the eaves of the buildings along the road and on the foundation stones of the houses about one meter wide, there were many mountain products for sale by the mountain people. This was a spontaneous market. Placed under the windows of residents along the street, after a day's business, the mountain residents will spontaneously clean up the garbage on the ground when they leave, and leave either a hare or a handful of wild fruits in the mountains as a reward, no matter how much, or It doesn't matter whether you are high or low, it all depends on your heart. The owner of the house doesn't mind. Sometimes he will boil water and let people take it for themselves. The people are simple and have their own rules.

The two of them looked around while walking, and when they found something they liked, they paid for it. Anyway, there was no shortage of storage bags now, so they could buy whatever they wanted. Finally, they no longer had to search and search like before!

The products in the mountains can be said to be scarce or scarce, and they can be said to be rich or rich. Mushrooms, mountain delicacies, animal skins, animal bones, animal meat, herbs and the like are naturally very abundant, but that's all, but fresh and refreshing things are. Very few things, such as salt, sugar, spices, and grains, which are very common in Baimazhou Market, are very rare, and the prices are extremely high!
There are many beasts here. The mountain people hunted wild beasts, marinated the meat with coarse salt and hung it under the eaves to dry. This is hand-shredded dried meat. It tastes salty and has a hint of sweetness. The meat is tough and chewy. If you want spicy food, just add chili peppers and marinate it together. This kind of dried meat is the best to go with wine!
