Chapter 25 Undercurrent Surges
There were no other disturbances along the way. The two of them left the forest smoothly according to the route shown on the map. Lu Yu's first feeling was... to be reborn.
The sun shone gently on his face, dragging long shadows behind the two of them. On the other side of the black forest, pedestrians finally appeared. Looking at the strangers in a hurry, Lu Yu felt a feeling in his heart for some reason.
A sense of solidity.
Sure enough, prosperity will make people feel safe.
The two kingdoms of Yu and Yue are bounded by the Black Forest. The border of Yu is the mountains, and the border of Yue is the city. Qingshan County is the living area of the people for this small border town, and its commercial hub is Qingshan Town.
"Senior sister, should we rest for a day before we go? Is there any danger in a place like Fangshi?" Lu Yu was now like a frightened bird, deeply afraid that the two of them would fall into any danger again, and his worry was not unreasonable.
Even if the market is a safe place to trade, there will still be dishonest people.
After entering the world of cultivating immortals, he deeply understood that the psychology of monks is actually the same as that of ordinary people. Immortals are not the immortals he imagined. Everyone has an immortal spirit and is indifferent to the world.
Immortals will still be jealous of good things and be tempted by beautiful things. Lu Yu is sure that in the eyes of other monks, he is not a wealthy young man. Apart from being more handsome, he will never attract the attention of others in a crowd.
But Xia Qian'er was different. She was as graceful as a butterfly, graceful as a lotus, and had a charming smile. She looked like a fairy. As soon as he stood next to her, he didn't say anything else. Even the hostility he noticed in his own territory within the sect was gone.
Very obvious.
What if it's outside?
"I...I don't know...I listen to you...let's...let's not go..." Xia Qianer's pitiful reply in a low voice made Lu Yu feel a pain in his heart.
It was like being slowly pierced into the heart by a silver needle as thin as a hair.
Lu Yu took a deep breath.
It's cold, but it makes people clear.
"If I had the ability, how could I let my senior sister suffer?"
He felt sad.
"If I were stronger, how could I let her become like this?"
However, people always have different ideas.
"Junior brother, you...what's wrong with you..." Xia Qian'er panicked when she saw Lu Yu's sudden silence. The only person who can give her a sense of security now is Lu Yu. She is afraid. She is afraid that she will be disliked by him and that she will become a different person.
It became a burden and made things difficult for him.
"Senior sister, since we are here, let's go take a look." Lu Yu relaxed and gave her a bright smile.
He took her hand and shook it gently.
Feeling the warmth of his hand, Xia Qian'er's hanging heart finally dropped, "You're the best." She told him in a voice that only she could hear, like she was whispering in a dream.
...
Qingshanfang City is located on the edge of Qingshan Town. It is a hillside. The hillside is not far from the cemetery and is filled with heavy fog all year round. In the eyes of nearby people, this place is too close to the cemetery and is definitely not a geomantic treasure.
But over the years, people in Qingshan Town have found that many outsiders who come here are willing to ask where the Qingshan Tomb is.
Lao Li was looking at the two young people in front of him strangely.
"Oh? You mean Qingshanfang City? We don't have that here, but there are always people from out of town asking about this place. It is said that they all went to Qingshan Cemetery in the end..."
The words of the village uncle sent shivers down the spines of Lu Yu and others...
What do you mean, everyone who inquired went to the cemetery...
"Is there anything strange near the cemetery?" Lu Yu then asked.
"Ah, yes. There is always fog in the east of Qingshan Tomb. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is hazy. I guess it is a strange place." The uncle didn't even think about it.
"Thank you." Lu Yu took out a tael of silver from his arms and handed it to him. The uncle refused with bright eyes: "It's just a small effort. I can't bear the money. I can't stand it." Although he said this
, but his hand has already put the silver into his arms very quickly.
Lu Yu smiled slightly and pulled Xia Qianer away from here.
...
It was almost dark when the two of them arrived outside Qingshan Cemetery, and the cemetery looked spooky in the dim light. Fortunately, it was not a visit, so they didn't need to cross.
"Junior brother, look over there." Xia Qian'er touched Lu Yu and pointed to the east side of the cemetery.
He looked along and his eyes widened immediately. It was a medium-sized hillside with heavy mist and a strange appearance. It would seem strange to ordinary people, but with Lu Yu's eyesight, he could instantly see the doorway.
.
"Small cloud formation?" He squinted his eyes and looked at the white mist that seemed to linger all year round.
"Um?"
"I have seen an introduction to this array in a book. The Small Cloud Mist Array is a type of low-level illusion array. It is often used to block mortals. Immortal cultivators often use this array in their caves and markets to avoid external interference."
Lu Yu explained.
"Detailed Interpretation of Elementary Formations" explains the low-level formations in great detail. Lu Yu likes to read and often turns over books after practicing. This habit is still retained, which makes him more knowledgeable now.
Xia Qian'er has long been accustomed to this, and now in her heart, her junior brother is omnipotent. He is handsome, well-behaved, smart, and he also cares about himself. He has a tall and complete image.
The gloomy atmosphere of the cemetery seemed to disappear in an instant. She took his arm and smiled lightly.
Seeing that she had regained some of her former energy, Lu Yu felt relieved.
"Sister, after all, is a monk who is one level higher than me. She must have better control over her mentality." He thought.
The two people walked around the cemetery and walked to the fog on the east side. Lu Yu stretched out his palm, gathered his spiritual power in his palm and looked forward. The heavy fog suddenly separated strangely automatically, forming a stone path three people wide. Lu Yu and the two faced each other.
Take a look and step into it.
...
Less than a moment after they walked, the fog on both sides suddenly dispersed, and the whole view of Qingshanfang City finally appeared in front of them.
"Selling spiritual paper! A piece of spiritual stone in a bundle, buy more and get more, the price is affordable!"...
"The newly made first-grade alchemy furnace and twenty pieces of spiritual stones are on sale! Everyone, come and take a look!"...
"I'm collecting materials. The materials for various monsters in the Black Forest will be priced according to their rarity!"...
What comes into view is a small village. The two sides of the village are no different from the markets in the mortal world. There are stalls and hawkers between the roads. They are shouting about the goods they sell. At this time, there are almost no people coming and going on the streets.
People noticed the arrival of Lu Yu and Xia Qian'er.
But there is one exception.
"Hey! Hello, you two. I wonder if this is the first time for you two to come to Qingshanfang City?" A thin and unkempt old man appeared in front of the two of them.
, took a step back.
"Hehehehe, this fairy doesn't need to panic. The little old man just makes a living by dealing in the news in the market. There is no malice or malice." He emphasized again, and then turned his attention to the vigilant Lu Yu, "This
Little friend, you don’t have to
Without saying a word, I have already seen from your expression that you have never been here before. Don't worry, I only need a piece of spiritual stone to make you know everything about Qingshanfang City. Your credibility is guaranteed and you will not be deceived.
!What do you think of this deal?"
Lu Yu looked at the old man with a playful smile in front of him, and thought anxiously. Maybe it was the experience on this trip that made him no longer want to trust monks who are attentive to nothing. His first reaction to such people is to avoid them, but
Now it seemed that the old man in front of him was not easy to get rid of. He could only show his trademark smile, cupped his hands and said: "Then I'll trouble you, senior." After that, he put a piece of spiritual stone into the old man's hand.
The old man was very impressed and thought to himself: "This guy is quite knowledgeable."
"Hey, little friend, you are such a happy person. You will definitely go a long way in the future." Fang Bubu did not forget to flatter, "I wonder why you two came to this city?"
Lu Yu thought for a while and said: "I want to purchase some materials, um... for making talismans. And then sell some materials, um... in short, mainly materials."
The old man understood immediately, stretched out his rough hand and pointed in one direction in the village, and said, "Did you see that attic?"
Lu Yu looked in the direction he pointed out. It was a three-story attic, standing due west of the village. Looking around, there were only three buildings of similar size in the village, "Qingshan Tower", "Danlan Tower"
"Xiang Xiaozhu" and "Fine Iron House".
"That's Qingshan Trading House. You can basically see all kinds of rags and treasures there. These stalls outside are because they don't have money to pay the rental fees. They have to find a place to shop. All the high-quality things are inside. But
, to enter the inner market, you have to pay a market entry fee of one spiritual stone." The old man explained.
"Well," Lu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, I'm sorry to lead the way."
Fang Wushi smiled, turned around and led the two of them towards the entrance of the village.
There were two middle-aged men guarding the door. When they saw someone approaching, they immediately crossed their arms and said, "Admission fee."
Lu Yu took out a spiritual stone and handed it to one of the men with a fierce face. The man took the spiritual stone and was about to move away when he suddenly found Xia Qian'er hiding behind Lu Yu.
"Huh?!" The man was startled. He had never seen such an elven-like fairy before. "Old Fang, what are the backgrounds of these two people?" He couldn't help but ask the old man face to face.
Lu Yu's heart tightened.
"Well, you two little friends, why don't you tell me your background? You really have to report it to the sect when you enter the market." Fang Bubu didn't dare to make any arbitrary decisions at this time. Anyway, he had already made all the money, so what did he have to do with the rest?
Xia Qian'er tugged at the corner of Lu Yu's clothes behind him. Lu Yu slightly chinned his head and said, "I'm Lu Yu from the Green Forest Gate. This is my senior sister. The two of us are going out for training and stopped by Qingshanfang City to purchase some materials."
What he said was flawless, and the vicious man no longer faced any difficulties and made way for them to enter.
Lu Yu secretly said that organized places were still safe. He took Xia Qian'er's hand and entered the city.
...
At No. 1 in the Qingshan Tower, red candles swayed, and there was a burst of sound. The owner of the room was having sex with a woman. Suddenly, a red telegraph flew out of the window and floated beside the bed. Inside the green gauze tent, the room
The owner stretched out a smooth arm to grab
Holding the talisman, the gauze curtain was slightly separated, and what came into view was a middle-aged man with a soft face. He glanced at the content on the talisman, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to fight, so he walked out of the bed naked and stretched out his blood in an evil way.
A red tongue licked her lips.
