Chapter 201: Official Coupon
The two joked and walked towards Fangshi.
As I got closer to Luye, I saw that there were a main gate and a side gate on a low wall about ten feet high outside the city. The side gate protruded like a fang.
The two entered through the gate with the Xuanmo Gate plaque hanging on it.
Shu Chitu explained that the seven families would divide the city into sections, and whoever occupied the inner city area would have to manage the foreign merchants in the outer city accordingly.
This is the territory of Xuanmo Sect, and Xuanmo Sect is responsible for all patrols and guards.
There is a bubble-like light shield on the periphery of this low wall. When the two of them entered, there was a slight flash of light and then there was no reaction.
"Senior brother," Shu Chitu pointed at the magic shield that covered the entire city like an inverted bowl, "this protective magic circle was built with spiritual stones from seven families."
He pointed to the core tower again.
“That is the core control point of the magic circle. Every day, a family of elders come to take turns to sit in charge, guarding the control wheel and suppressing the city at the same time.”
"We have a sect token, so entry and exit are unobstructed. The same is true for the merchants inside. If outsiders come in or out, they must first register and pay spirit stones at the side door to receive a temporary token."
"Temporary tokens cannot be used overnight. The others are no different from us."
"Just one entry and exit requires 5 spirit crystals."
Lu Ye glanced and saw people queuing up outside the side entrance of Fangshi. .
No wonder the side door is set up to protrude outside, it is also for safety. Once the magic circle is raised in the event of chaos, the side door can be isolated from the outside of the magic circle.
He thought that if one of the seven families rebelled, the array would be useless.
Shu Chitu led Lu Ye into the outer city.
Lu Ye noticed that there was very little traffic on the street, and even the shops on both sides occasionally had unopened ones. The business could only be described as deserted.
He lowered his head and asked in a deep voice.
"Junior Brother Shu, why do I see that our business is not so prosperous?"
Shu Chitu smiled and explained that the market has just opened, and there was an incident involving Jie Xiu blocking the road a few days ago. It is normal for there to be few people and few shops.
Not only Xuanmo Sect, but also the other families.
When he first came here to wander around, there were fewer customers and shops than now. Now that the number has increased, in a year and a half, it may become popular.
"Senior brother, look there..." Shu Chitu pointed to a shop with the largest area. There was a plaque hanging on it, with two big characters in front of it.
There is a small flying crane pattern below the main couplet.
Lu Ye thought about it for a moment and said in surprise.
"The official joint number?"
"Isn't that the business name of the two golden elixir sects, Gujianzhuang and Baihemen?"
He remembered Qingshan last time When dealing with the Plum Blossom Bandits, the leader who died in his hands confessed that in the Plum Blossom Bandits organization, most people suspected that it was Zhenglianhao who gave them the spirit stone to cut off the trade route.
To be precise, it is Gujianzhuang and Baihemen, the two major sects behind the official association.
Why is it now that the official number is opened in this magical city?
Shu Chitu said with a sigh on his face.
"Elder brother, what's weird?"
"It's just business."
"People can come to our territory to do business, our Demon Sect's business name You can also go to a decent market to open a shop.”
"Exchange what you have, don't be shabby, earn spiritual stones, we have to earn together."
"This kind of situation is very common here in Central Continent, not uncommon."
He quietly He explained to Lu Ye that he had read a travel note in the Sutra Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, which was written by a monk after traveling to the mainland.
The monk has a point of view that is quite novel and may be biased, but sometimes it makes sense when you think about it.
What is a decent family?
That is, the fist is big enough and hard enough, and there is a master of Nascent Soul Golden Pill in charge.
Be able to occupy the best spiritual place in the world, have sufficient spiritual energy, and practice Taoist methods that directly point to immortality, so you can select the best batch of fairy seedlings.
It doesn’t have to be as ugly as Xuanmo Sect’s food appearance, there is enough time to train generations of disciples.
This is called an upright family.
And sects like the Seven Demons Sect of Heikokushan.
The fists are not too strong, only the foundation-building monks support the show.
You can't grab a hill with abundant aura, so you can only choose corners and corners that are despised by famous people and look for a hill with decent aura.
If spiritual energy is insufficient, people will naturally be eager for quick success and practice evil arts or magic methods that advance rapidly, have many hidden dangers, and even violate ordinary people's moral principles. They will exploit and squeeze their disciples in order to support the core disciples of the sect and ensure the continuity of the inheritance.
Even like Mo Ruyan, he even skipped cultivating disciples, and went directly to capture a group of fairy seedlings to force him to become a disciple, and planted the life and death talisman. Even the elders who passed on the power were captured and forced to take the Yin Fire. insanity.
To be precise, the Seven Demon Sects of Heikoku Mountain are unpopular heretics. After all, there is no immortal Nascent Soul among them who can live for thousands of years.
The real sect of the demon sect may not be worse than the famous sect. It also occupies a blessed place in the world, has sufficient spiritual energy, and practices demonic techniques that directly lead to immortality.
Like a well-known and decent sect, one sect controls several large secular countries, collects resources, and supports all monks in the sect. It's just that he acts naked and doesn't pretend to be superficial.
The monk even recorded that thousands of years ago, after a large demon sect took control of a country, it had sufficient resources and various opportunities to acquire the righteous method. Later, it gradually became a famous and upright sect. .
There are also famous sects that declined due to various reasons, lost their ancestral land, and were driven to remote villages. In the end, they also abandoned their ancestral inheritance, practiced evil arts, and became a demon sect.
The so-called evil spirits are nothing more than a means for immortal cultivators to seek immortality.
You have enough strength, aura, longevity skills, know how to whitewash and promote propaganda, and if you have a harmonious appearance in the door, you are decent.
It is a demon sect that has sufficient strength, aura, and immortality skills. It is too lazy to whitewash it or does not publicize it properly. The competition between the disciples in the sect is naked.
Lack of strength, lack of aura, and lack of immortality skills. Being a demon is just a rhetoric to put money on one's face. In fact, in the eyes of the righteous demon sect, it is all heresy.
If you look at it from this monk's point of view, the decent Ancient Sword Manor and White Crane Sect in Ba Kingdom, including the Seven Demon Sects in Heikoku Mountain, all have no Immortal Soul Realm Nascent Soul monks in charge, and they are all heretical.
Since they are all heretics, it is normal for them to communicate with each other and do business. Even the real famous sects and demon sects do business privately.
If the state officials can do it, why can’t the people do it?
Lu Ye smiled.
"Junior Brother Shu, the views of the person who wrote this miscellaneous book you are reading are quite novel. Although they are a bit extreme, they cannot be said to be completely unreasonable."
"If my second brother were here, , he will definitely say, he understands this matter.”
"Both the big bandits and the officials hold the handle of the knife. It doesn't mean that whoever sits on the dragon throne gets the status of righteousness. Anyway, they all live by the knife."
"The government is like a decent person. There are many things that have to be concealed in order to save face, and order must be maintained at the same time. The Demon Sect is like a big bandit. They act naked and don’t have so many tricks. They have a bit of rough order and will habitually use the knife when they are in trouble.”
"It seems that the principles of many things in the world of immortality and in the secular world are still the same."
Shu Chitu nodded.
“That’s how it is.”
The two of them chatted and laughed and walked to the front door. However, they were cautious and did not enter. They just stopped and watched.
But inside the shop, there were also some other disciples of the Black Kushan Demon Sect who were making selections. If they found something they liked, they would start asking for prices. It was quite lively.
Lu Ye looked at it for a while before pulling Shu Chitu away. He thought that when there are more people coming in and out of the store, he can come and have a look.
The seven families in Black Kushan are all foundation-building sects, and the corresponding second-level resources are not open to the disciples. They are all monopolized by foundation-building masters.
The Ascension Talisman planted on Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi is at least a second-level Talisman skill.
Lu Ye has been thinking about it these days. If he wants to remove the talismans from the two sworn brothers, he must at least master the second-level talisman skills. Purchasing the corresponding talisman true solution from there is a trouble.
As Zhenglianhao is backed by the Jindan sect, second-level resources are not untradeable for them. Maybe they can find the second-level talisman inheritance here, even if it is incomplete, it will be better. Not strong.
The two of them continued to move forward and saw some casual cultivators setting up stalls along the street, selling talismans, elixirs, magic weapons and the like.
Shu Chitu explained that in addition to allowing household operations, there are no restrictions on business operations in the market, but they all have to pay taxes.
Therefore, bold foreign monks and even skilled disciples of the Seven Demons came out to set up stalls on the street.
In addition to these merchants and the serious shops on both sides, Lu Ye also found that there were unofficial shops.
It doesn’t matter if there are restaurants or restaurants among them. After all, immortal cultivators are also human beings, and many of them like to eat and drink.
But there is also a plaque with the name Chunfeng Tower. On the second floor above, there are many Kun Xiu dressed in cool clothes leaning on the railing and ogling. What's going on?
The melodious sound of silk and bamboo came from inside, and disciples of the seven sects came in and out. In terms of the flow of people and the level of excitement, this Chunfeng Pavilion must be the most popular shop in the city.
Lu Ye looked at Shu Chitu with confusion on his face.
"Junior brother, if I'm not mistaken, this seems to be a brothel?"
"How can there be such a thing in the market? And the business looks good."
Shu Chitu looked envious. road.
"Senior Brother, you read that right. This is a brothel. Food and sex are good, and the business is of course good."
"Fourth Senior Brother, don't underestimate this place. This is a business. It’s amazing. You don’t need to stock up on goods, and you don’t have to worry about being blocked by robbers. You have enough water, and you can hand over a lot of spiritual stones to the sect. Which leader wouldn’t like it?”
"Even the disciples finally have a place to relax. After all, it is too difficult to find a Taoist companion in our Demon Sect. If you don't pay attention, you will find either a Taoist companion or a murderer."
"Run here. , for a small cost, you can relax your spirit and body, and you can also understand the Hehuan Avenue, without having to worry about being plotted against. How cost-effective it is?"
"We can only get one spiritual stone subsidy in the sect every month, including that. The daily tasks add up to only two or three spirit stones, and the top Kun cultivator here can only get this amount in one night."
Lu Ye immediately felt his teeth sore after hearing this.
How annoying. We have been working so hard all day long on sect tasks, but we can actually make more money by selling them out?
Shu Chitu said with red eyes.
"Brother, you must not look down on these Kun cultivators. The more they earn, the more resources they have for cultivation. In terms of cultivation alone, it may not be bad."
"Eat on it. Spending decades of youth and accumulating enough spirit stones does not necessarily delay your cultivation. It is said that the owner of Chunfeng Pavilion, He Xianzi, was also a red card back then. He is also a Qi Perfection cultivator."
Shu Chitu shook his head as he spoke.
"Alas, this Chunfeng Pavilion also recruits male monks, but it's a pity that they actually discriminate against rat demons!"
"The Fairy He is so beautiful, but she is also very vicious. She actually said that I am not big enough... It's really Annoying.”
