Chapter 97 - Cloud Bixi
Bixi Town.
"Is this the town our village belongs to?" Lin Mengge looked around curiously.
"Should...right?"
Mu Hanchan also replied uncertainly.
"Isn't it called Bixi? Where is the river?"
Lin Mengge asked strangely.
"Um... I heard that the one outside the city... has dried up." Mu Hanchan replied.
"ah?"
Lin Mengge opened his eyes wide and said, "That's also called a creek? Is that also a creek?"
Mu Hanchan said: "I heard that it was a small stream in the beginning, and it was extremely clear, as if the source was a clear spring on the snowy mountain. That's when 'Bixi' was named, but I heard it was three hundred years ago. Later.
It was gradually widened artificially, and at its widest it was five feet wide. Later, because no one took care of it, it slowly became clogged and dried up."
Everyone who enters the town must climb the mountain.
"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet," Mu Hanchan said.
"Such a big gap?"
Lin Mengge asked as they walked side by side on the mountain road.
In addition, in Shacheng, Guhuang Town, and Qingluan Town, there is basically no use of money.
"But I only have silver, not copper coins."
Lin Mengge said.
"So big!"
He added: "When I came here, I calculated in my mind that our village is about 140 miles away from here, less than 150 miles away, but it must be more than 140 miles away."
Because broken silver needs to be melted to become whole, there is consumption in this process, which is called fire consumption.
"We belong to a remote mountainous area, so the jurisdiction of the town covers a larger area. Generally speaking, the scope of a town is only within a hundred miles."
"Why didn't anyone take care of it later?" Lin Mengge asked.
"Oh well."
"What's the name of the sect you're in?"
Mu Hanchan asked knowingly.
Then he asked: "Didn't you pass by here in an empty boat when you came back? Why didn't you know anything, didn't hear anything, didn't you ask anything?"
"Mumu, now that you are back, where are you going to practice?"
Because the mountain next to the town is 1800 feet.
Every 150 feet is a step.
"Five hundred miles in radius, I heard."
"What!" Lin Mengge denied, saying: "The airship stopped thousands of miles away. I got here by airship and then went down the mountain. I was tired on the way. How could I bother to inquire."
"Yunxi."
"I heard that when entering a sect in the world of immortality, doesn't it mean that you have to be loyal to it? Repay the kindness of knowing and nurturing you?"
"It's hard to find a small business." The merchant refused directly.
"With our status and current level of cultivation, we definitely cannot go to a first-level sect.
"Let's go up! The town center is still above." Mu Hanchan said.
Lin Mengge said: "I want to eat it!"
"How much does it cost?"
This is a town by the mountains.
“But the competition is even more stressful!”
Mu Hanchan replied: "I heard that in the past two hundred years, there have been no children with outstanding spiritual roots in the dozens of villages near our town, so all the immortal cultivating families have withdrawn their investment, and then they gradually became deserted and 'declined'."
Mu Hanchan and Lin Mengge have arrived at the center of the bustling town, 600 feet away from the mountain.
"Oh, okay then."
Lin Mengge said.
But the merchant said: "How about you buy something else, and if it reaches 50 Wen, I can find it for you."
But it will definitely not be expanded in the short term.
But it has not reached the top. Obviously this town still has room for higher expansion.
"I didn't see the snow-capped mountains?"
Even so, Mu Hanchan thought it was better than buying 50 yuan of unnecessary sundries.
It starts from 300 feet below the mountain and ends at 1050 feet up the mountain.
"I don't know! Maybe there was a connection in the past. I heard that they were from the same family, but they split later. The relationship between the three sects is still very subtle now."
Otherwise, we will go to the first-level sect together."
"Goodbye! I'm afraid I'm under a lot of pressure. The main reason is that more than 70% of our Yunxi Sect are female cultivators, and there are only a few direct descendants or some male cultivators with special relationships."
But Mu Hanchan said: "No! I don't need anything else you have here."
Zhentou, Zhenyao, Zhenshen, Zhenchest, Zhentou.
Mu Hanchan said with some embarrassment.
However, there is indeed a handling fee for converting copper coins into broken silver and converting broken silver into whole silver.
"Um?"
Mu Hanchan said.
"Um?"
"One penny for a string," the peddler replied.
Mu Hanchan asked.
"I know." Lin Mengge's mood quickly dissipated and he smiled again.
He said: "When you were browsing around over there just now, I took it out from under the lamp stand to look at it. Just put it back under the lamp stand in front of me later."
"Whether there is snow on the mountain has nothing to do with the location, but with the height. Generally speaking, there is basically snow above 1,500 feet. If you can't see it, it should be because the height is not high yet."
But the other coins they held were a burden because neither of them had storage bags.
"What? They recruit you just because you are valuable. Since you are chosen because of your value, what's the point of kindness? Cultivation is not love, so what's the point of loyalty?"
"good!"
"How to say?"
There is no need to exchange copper coins.
Approaching.
"But in fact, it's really that outrageous."
Mu Hanchan said: "The sect is not run by a faction, or it is not run by his family. The bigger the sect, the more complex the factions are, and the relationships are like the roots of a big tree. It can't be so outrageous."
"How much area does this town govern?"
"Is a first-level sect better?"
"It's Yunwu Sect and Yunyang Sect. These two are second-level sects and are very close to me. It will be convenient for us to meet when the time comes."
Lin Mengge answered, holding Mu Hanchan's arm.
"Yunxi, Yunwu, and Yunyang, are there any connections between these three sects?" Mu Hanchan asked.
"I heard that those from first-level sects, and those who are not direct descendants, must break through to the Lingyuan realm before the age of 20. We definitely can't do it."
Previously, Mu Hanchan had whole silver coins, so there was no handling fee for exchanging the whole silver coins into pieces.
"Then there's nothing we can do. Who makes us outsiders?"
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
Lin Mengge said.
"good!"
"1,000 yuan!" The merchant looked at Mu Hanchan strangely and replied.
"Don't be unhappy. Don't let others see that you are anxious. Otherwise, others will easily take the opportunity to bully you."
Lin Mengge was a little unhappy, but at Mu Hanchan's insistence, he came back to buy it after exchanging copper coins.
"How much is one tael of silver?"
Mu Hanchan was silent for a moment, neither refuting nor agreeing.
Mu Hanchan took out a book and showed it to Lin Mengge. It had both pictures and text. The title of the book was: "A Brief Description of Bixi Town"
"So what? When we have the ability in the future, will we still go to the first-level sect?"
"Then let's go further up!"
"Hmm..." Lin Mengge hesitated for a while and said, "How about you go to Yunwu or Yunyang?"
"If there is a chance, we will definitely go."
Because no famous cultivators appeared in the town.
Then he said: "How do you know?"
"Hey! Mumu, look quickly? I want that wreath." Lin Mengge said.
"What about the direct descendants?"
"That's good."
Mu Hanchan said: "How about we go change money."
Mu Hanchan frowned, because he had no copper coins with him, only the two taels of gold he exchanged in Jinhua Town a few months ago, and some silver.
"Of course! The resources are richer, the techniques are more advanced, and the magical weapons, robes, and treasures are of better quality. The quality of the same level is higher than that of other sects. And the elixirs and so on are cheaper."
"The direct descendants are 30 and 60 years old."
So, I had to exchange the copper coins for broken silver, leaving a few copper coins, but only used the 5 Wen handling fee.
Mu Hanchan saw a five-color wreath woven from iris, rose, marigold, delphinium, and lily.
"Can't I go to your place?"
"Hey! Mumu, look, there's a candied haws seller over there, I want to eat it."
According to the classification of ladders, each ladder is a level. The Bixi Town where Mu Hanchan is located is considered a fifth-level town, which is not too small.
The wreath is less than half a foot in diameter and is placed on the girl's head.
"Purple, pink, yellow, blue and white, so beautiful!"
"As long as you like it."
Mu Hanchan spent another five cents to buy it.
