Please call me Huanxian

Chapter 233: Blocking the Road to Talk About Business

Xu Yuanchang sank into a state of illusion, calling upon the tranquility he had cultivated over the past few days, and condensed it into a ball of mist, which fell into the corner of the ring space, swirling around to form a restriction about five feet thick, with a green light flickering in between.

The rabbit appeared nearby, curiously examining the newly emerged cloud of fog.

You can feel that there is a small independent space inside.

Then I saw ochre-colored mountain traces and cloud patterns distributed in the mist, interwoven with a layer of wood evil spirits, and mixed with some invisible objects.

"Friend Xu, what are you doing? Are you building a new warm nest for me?"

"I have collected a few spoils of war and put them in a temporary storage space. Fellow Daoist Li, please do not rummage through them."

Xu Yuanchang warned the rabbit in a calm and frank tone.

Ever since he used the realm of illusion to help him calm down last time and learned the illusion that the rabbit taught him but with small levels set up inside, he has figured out that using the realm of illusion to help him calm down can create a small private space inside the artifact space.

He was able to use his subtle connection with the ring to strengthen the restrictions of the small space.

Mountain spirit, wood evil and divine silk were specially added to enhance the protection layer by layer.

The small space he created was no more than two feet thick inside, and there was a thick layer on the outside to prevent rabbits.

If the rabbit touches his airtight arrangement, it will definitely alarm him.

Only by hiding items in a space can you avoid worrying about being found by outsiders.

Why should he just throw away the spoils that he had collected from Sanzhonglou, whom he had taken great pains to kill?

"Friend Xu, I am really hurt by your despicable behavior of guarding against thieves in front of others. I am a person of high moral character, and I would casually rummage through other people's things? What good things have I not seen? Gentlemen are open and honest, and I am really hurt."

The rabbit exuded an air of injury and sadness, and its steps were staggering, as if it could collapse on the spot at any time.

Xu Yuanchang ignored the rabbit's mocking words and threw the two confiscated swords to him, saying, "Daoyou Li, I will give you this as compensation. Is that enough?"

"That's enough. That's enough. Fellow Daoist Xu is quite frank."

Rabbits know when to stop and will never ask for more.

He controlled two swords inlaid with gems, hitting them against each other with a "ding-dong-dong" sound for fun, and jumped towards his crystal nest.

Liu Xianfeng spent quite a bit of time to erase the mark on a storage bag, probed it with his spiritual sense, and said with a smile: "Finally, I have gained some benefits, to compensate you for wasting so many magic stones and the losses we suffered from hiding from place to place."

She took out a handful of spirit coins and crystals, among which were five crystal stones.

The jewels are shining and sparkling.

No one can become rich without unexpected wealth. The ancients were right.

Unfortunately, there was not enough time for her to continue grinding away the marks on the other storage bags.

We will have to reluctantly discard everything that may cause trouble and bury it deep underground.

You have to throw it away no matter how reluctant you are.

They are now facing off against the arrogant and domineering young masters of wealthy families.

There is no room for any slight mistakes.

"Xianfeng, give me all the things for safekeeping. Don't throw them away. It would be a pity to waste them."

Xu Yuanchang had just completed the arrangement of his ring space. After confirming that everything was correct, he stopped Liu Xianfeng, who was struggling on the road and was reluctant to throw away his spoils.

He took over several storage bags and stuffed two monster-hunting needles, four dark-gold guest badges, and some miscellaneous items, along with two other seized magic swords, into the storage bag that Liu Xianfeng had just opened, and put them all into the small space in the ring.

Liu Xianfeng knew that the young master had a magical ring. He blinked and said in a voice transmission, "Will it be exposed? The demon-hunting needle and the guest badge are useless. Keeping them will only cause trouble. It's better to throw them away."

Xu Yuanchang said confidently: "Relax, nothing will happen, we will get what we deserve."

Ever since he was reminded by Rabbit that the ring was a divine weapon, he bought several books on divine weapons from a bookstore when he settled in Xiyang Market and read through them to learn more about them.

He didn't know how he could use the legendary artifact with his humble cultivation level.

But one thing is clear: outsiders cannot peek into the artifact space.

The last time I encountered the three-legged turtle at Wuya Lake, a giant monster with almost sky-high cultivation, I didn’t notice the rabbit hidden in the ring space.

Things like storage bags cannot completely block out certain items that have been marked. Experts have deduced that these items are not covered.

He wanted to keep the Monster-Hunting Needle and the Guest Sign for other uses, otherwise why would he go through so much trouble to construct a separate small space in the ring?
"Young man, be careful, you are now at the first level of cultivation, don't get carried away."

Xu Yuanchang jokingly warned the little money-grubber with shining eyes not to get carried away and to remember to keep his chest down.

Liu Xianfeng transformed into a handsome young man, raised her little fist, chased after the naughty Xu Daoyou and hit him twice, then happily removed the slight aura on the spirit coins, crystal stones and crystal marrow stones she had collected through her sleeves, counting them over and over again until they made a jingling sound.

……

Young Master Shu Wu and two grey-clad monks rushed to the edge of the rolling fire plain from hundreds of miles away. After listening to the report from his subordinates who arrived earlier, he was so angry that his face turned blue. He looked around at the seven or eight monks who were pretending to be busy and shouted, "That Taoist priest has made such a big detour through thousands of mountains and hills. His destination must be the Wallless City. Do you have any brains? Why don't you split up to chase him and intercept him?"

Five or six people scattered like birds and beasts, tracking in three directions.

One of the middle-aged men in gray clothes who followed Master Shu Wu took out a palm-sized six-sided magic weapon, tapped it several times with his fingers, examined it for a while, and whispered, "Master Wu, we can't find the guest identity cards of Lao Fan, Lao An and the other four, and the whereabouts of the other two magic weapons. Maybe they were destroyed by the Taoist priest."

Young Master Shu Wu couldn't hide his disgust as he glanced at the four corpses lying on the ground.

There were no signs of fierce fighting nearby. The four idiots died peacefully, as if they were ambushed by a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was ruthless, and it seemed natural for him to destroy items with special marks.

He was a little annoyed and said, "Let's go to the Wallless City and see if the Taoist priest has three heads and six arms."

……

Xu Yuan walked on the tree-lined official road with his long sleeves fluttering in the wind, followed by two young men of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with gorgeous swords on their waists. One was full of vigor and vitality, and the other was introverted and steady.

Going from west to northeast, it is about forty or fifty miles away from the wallless city.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a horse-drawn carriage passed by, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Xu Yuanchang waved his sleeves to disperse the flying dust, and suddenly looked up to the southeast. He saw two black spots that also sensed the same level of energy, quickly approaching and landing on the treetops, and asked in an official tone:

"Where do fellow Taoists come from?"

"Lu brought his disciples here from the Five Palace Gates of Qizhou. Why does the Wallless City still care about these trivial matters?"

"I have been ordered by my superiors to do this. Fellow Daoist Lu, please show us your ID card."

"Oh, what happened?"

Xu Yuanchang took out a purple gold plate from his sleeve, pretended to react suddenly, put the plate back, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Lu, remember that the monk law of our Shanyang country stipulates that when the monks of the inspection department go out to perform tasks and check the monks passing by, they must show their identity cards first?"

He was talking about the regulations of the Daning Monastic Law.

Other dynasties were basically similar, avoiding certain scandals that took advantage of the situation.

The two monks looked at each other. A hundred feet away, the demon-hunting needles in their sleeves did not vibrate, so it was not the person they were looking for. They left a sentence "You go, we still have to continue patrolling", and flew into the air and quickly flew away.

They didn't dare to get too close, for fear that they might be detained by the powerful Taoist priest if they happened to encounter the fake real owner.

Besides, they were even more cautious when pretending to be a monk from the Patrol Department at the border of another country. Xu Yuanchang shouted a few times, and the two men flew away without even turning their heads.

The three of them continued on their journey and never encountered any fake inspections again.

They arrived at the foot of the wallless city at noon. Liu Xianfeng had already put the red willow branches in his bag.

He went around to the South Gate, which was specially opened for monks to enter and exit, showed his pass, and entered the outer city smoothly.

Because Zeng Shanlang could not fly, the two of them climbed up the steep rock stairs that looked like stairs to heaven, winding and twisting, and finally reached the solitary rock mountain that was nearly 300 feet high.

At the top is the wallless city of ancient ruins, covering an area of ​​about three miles wide and five miles long. "One mountain is an isolated city, standing high to suppress thousands of hills." It faces the direction of thousands of mountains and hills, and does not need city walls for protection.

Below Guyan City is the mortal city, extending far away from the southwest to the northeast.

Xu Yuanchang noticed that there were several groups of brokers chatting at the intersection. They just glanced at him and Zeng Shanlang and didn't pay much attention to them.

He took Zeng Shanlang to the agreed-upon "Baiyunjian Inn" in the east of the city.

Following the secret marks, I walked to the backyard corridor and found the guest house with a plaque that read "Xianyun". It seemed that Meng Caiqin arrived first and chose such a delicate name for the house.

After knocking on the wooden door, Xu Yuanchang, who had changed into a rough-looking man, grinned at Song Shuqian, who had a puzzled look on his face, and his true colors were immediately revealed.

Song Shuqian laughed and quickly let the two of them in. He leaned over to glance left and right in the aisle and then closed the door.

"Why, are we being followed in the ancient city?"

Song Shuqian was observing Xu Yuanchang and Zeng Shanlang who were using the art of eliminating changes. At such a close distance, he could not even tell how the young man had grown several feet taller. The Xu brothers' methods were becoming more and more magical.

"Wait, don't move yet. If you are my brother, let me use the magic to see if it is true or not."

He greeted them politely, releasing an invisible divine thread that touched the two of them and disappeared, guaranteeing authenticity.

He deliberately said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry" with a smile on his face. How could he be apologetic at all?
"Just show off your magic skills. Where are Brother Meng and Brother Nan?"

Xu Yuanchang looked down on Song Shuqian, who looked familiar and informal, and walked towards the main hall, explaining simply, "I got into a little trouble on the way, and I had no choice. After the transformation, it will be easier for me to travel."

Liu Xianfeng escaped from the bag and giggled: "Old Song, I'm fake too. I'm going to harm that little bad guy Meng Yiyi." She disappeared in a flash and flew to the backyard.

Soon, Meng Yiyi's surprised scream was heard from the backyard.

"Aunt Liu, why did you come just now? I missed you so much."

After Zeng Shanlang saluted, he ran away very quickly. He was eager to see his two little friends.

"Caiqin and Laonan went to the 'Shenyu Rock' in Wucheng City five days ago. If I hadn't been waiting for you, I would have gone to the ancient Shenyu Rock in the west. Shanyang Country is so generous that they use Shenyu Rock as a test question to hone our hardworking monks."

Song Shuqian lifted up the hem of his Taoist robe and sat down, then continued, "So far, I heard that only two people have walked out of the Divine Language Rock, and the others stayed inside and were reluctant to leave. None of the cultivators who arrived here to train could resist the gifts and opportunities of the ancient powers, and they were not afraid of delaying the rest of their journey."

The rabbit in the ring space heard the words "God's Language Rock" and said, "This is the place where the gods and immortal masters debated in the past. 'Words are laws, illusions are real, and peeping into the way of heaven will lead to immortality.' There are a few ancient rocks that have been sat on by a few noble buttocks, which have caused some strange changes and recorded the words of the great powers. Whenever there is a thunderstorm, the strange murmuring of gods is the clearest. At other times, you have to rely on your luck to occasionally hear some sounds."

Xu Yuanchang could hear Rabbit's dissatisfaction with those noble butts, and asked in a voice transmission: "Did you hear that from the side?"

"Nonsense, how can I be absent from the world's major events?"

The rabbit is not ashamed but proud of it.

His cultivation was not high enough at the time, but he participated secretly. He grinned and said, "If you want to hear what those old guys said, just ask me. After thousands of years, I still remember a general idea."

Xu Yuanchang declined the offer. He didn't want to listen to Rabbit's second-hand account.

Since he had the chance, he would of course go and listen to the live performance to satisfy his little curiosity.

After chatting with Song Shuqian for a while, I got a general understanding of how their group traveled through Jianshan Kingdom. Each experience was wonderful in its own way. Song Shuqian and his group encountered two ambushes from a group of robbers. Song Shuqian and Meng Caiqin worked together to almost wipe out all the robbers. Song Shuqian had to recuperate in the market town for several days because of this.

About quarter of an hour later, Xu Yuanchang greeted Liu Xianfeng who was playing in the backyard.

Let Liu Xianfeng look after the baby for a few days and don’t answer anyone knocking on the door.

He and Song Shuqian walked out of the guest house and came to the "Guyan Pavilion" in the city. They showed the purple gold medal of the hard-working monk and handed the pass document to the steward. They received a receipt and an enthusiastic explanation from the steward, which was similar to what Song Shuqian had said.

Coming out of the Ancient Rock Pavilion, walking on the wide street, we headed towards the Shenyu Rock, the highest point in the west, which is shrouded in clouds.

There was a group of cultivators blocking the way. The fat man in the front, wearing a white robe and brocade clothes, was in the late third floor. He looked up and down at the calm Xu Yuanchang, with murderous intent hidden deep in his eyes. He nodded with his chin and said, "Xu Yuanchang, I want to buy your spirit pet. You can name your price."

For the Taoist priest who dared to rub his face on the ground and kill his four men.

The fat man in brocade clothes must get rid of him as soon as possible.

It was a great humiliation. It was the first time in my life that I was treated like this by an outsider.

Xu Yuanchang rubbed his ears, used his eyes to stop the short-tempered Song Shuqian from taking action, and said with a fake smile: "Shu Shiming, I offer thirty crystal stones to sell my spiritual pet. Do you dare to accept it?"

The two men met and dealt with each other formally for the first time, calling each other names and arguing with each other.

He deliberately played a little trick with words and offered a price that the other party could accept but that was also painful.

The fat guy wanted to brag about himself, but he was a kind-hearted man, so how could he not help the other person?

"How dare you call me Fifth Young Master!"

The people behind the fat man in brocade clothes turned pale with anger, and the man in gray on the left shouted sternly.

Xu Yuanchang sneered and said, "You are begging for mercy like dogs, don't drag me into this. What's so great about Shu Shiming's name? Is he the fifth-floor master, or does he have one more head than others? Why can't I call him that, huh?"

The conflict was irreconcilable, and he wanted to take the opportunity to provoke the bad-tempered fifth young master of the Shu family.

It's no wonder that the business failed. It's because your subordinates are ignorant.

The fat man in brocade clothes sneered with disdain, turned around and shouted: "Idiot, shut up, don't embarrass yourself, give him thirty crystal stones, this deal is done."

The Shu family's power does not extend to foreign countries.

Hearing the Taoist priest impulsively offer a "high price", the fat man in brocade clothes was afraid that the Taoist priest would regret it.

He wanted to cut the Gordian knot in this business, get it done first, buy the little tree spirit and send it back to the family, and then play with the Taoist priest slowly later.

Eat his money and owe him debts.

You must spit out everything and I will pay double compensation.

After listening for a while, Song Shuqian realized that the fat man opposite was the fifth young master of the Shu family of Jianshan Kingdom. No wonder Brother Xu said that he had caused some trouble on the road. This was not an ordinary trouble.

The Shu family is extremely powerful in Jianshan State.

They all chased us to Shanyang State.

He quickly sent a message to stop him: "Brother Xu, are you crazy? How can you sell Sister Xianfeng?"

Thirty crystal stones was an incredible price, but he couldn't understand why he sold the sharp-tongued little tree spirit to the fat man opposite.

This is not Jianshan Kingdom, and is not threatened by the Shu family.
