Zhiyuan City has a special geographical location. It is located on the outskirts of a pass at the junction of Donghua Mountain and Xiyue Mountain. It can be said to be an important transportation thoroughfare.
It's just that for such an important place, the Wu court adopted a laissez-faire attitude. Normally, Zhiyuan City would just not go to court or pay tribute. Even the lord of a city was not appointed by the court, but by a few people from Zhiyuan City.
Recommended by prominent people.
Such strange things have been talked about by many storytellers in the world and turned into strange stories. Some people even inquired about it and wanted to find out. However, those who really know some of the inside stories are silent on this matter and do not dare to say more about it.
Word.
Zhiyuan City, in Yongqing Inn.
A young man in gray clothes was sitting cross-legged on the bed, making strange magic formulas with his hands, and muttering something in his mouth at the same time, as if he was practicing some kind of skill.
Above his head, there was curls of green smoke coming out, and the clothes on his back were soaked with sweat. After a moment, he suddenly saw the young man in gray frowning slightly, and then the magic formula in his hand changed, and he actually
After learning the exercises, he stood up from the bed.
After the young man stood up, his face seemed a little irritable, and he walked back and forth a few steps in the room, then reached out and patted the gray pouch at his waist.
In the flash of white light, a small beast with rabbit ears and a big tail jumped out and landed on the square table gently and deftly.
"What's wrong? Mr. Liang, why did you call me today?" the little white beast said.
"Are there any other tricks in this "Tao Sword Sutra"? Why do I feel more and more confused as I read it? If you follow the instructions in the sutra to operate your spiritual power, it will be extremely blocked. How can it be considered a skill?" Liang Yan
He asked with a frown.
"So that's what happened!" The little white beast laughed and said: "Boy, you have underestimated the "Tao Sword Sutra" too much. This is the best skill in the world. You have little knowledge now, especially for Tao sect knowledge.
Even if you don’t know anything about it, how can you understand it so easily?”
After hearing this, Liang Yan nodded doubtfully, thinking that among the four major sects, he was only familiar with the Confucian mentality. Although the Yungang Sect was a Taoist sect, he had only been introduced to it for a short period of time, and many ancient Taoist books were not yet available.
I've had time to read it, and I'm afraid what Lao Jin said is not unreasonable.
In the past few days, Liang Yan also briefly introduced his origins to Lao Jin, only to hear Lao Jin laugh and say: "Ordinary people who enter Taoist sects start to study from the Three Thousand Dao Zang. But you kid is different. You
He is an art master and has become a monk halfway, so naturally he knows very little about the basic classics of Taoism. And how can such a wonderful book as the "Tao Sword Classic" be understood in two or three days?"
Liang Yan knew that he had something to say, so he didn't interrupt and just waited for him to finish. As expected, Lao Jin shook his head and said again:
"It is not advisable to rush into practicing "Tao Sword Classic". Your most important task right now is to obtain a large amount of death energy to balance the two energies of life and death in your body. Otherwise, once my natal golden feather is out of control, you will not be alive for long.
La!"
Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Senior, it's easy to say it, but we have been searching all these days, but we haven't found a target that meets the requirements."
"What we encountered before is some of the refined gas dissemination near Cangya Mountain, and I can't ask anything at all. Now when I arrived in the city, I see if we go to Xicheng District.
information?"
Liang Yan glanced at him, nodded after a while and said, "That's fine!"
An hour later, Liang Yan packed up his things, went downstairs from Yongqing Inn, and headed all the way to the west of the city. Although the Xicheng District occupies a small area, it has always been the most mysterious area in Zhiyuan City. Ordinary mortals can't even get close to it.
Not allowed.
Liang Yan walked through a deserted street and saw a bluestone arch bridge in the distance. There were guards in palace clothes standing on both sides of the arch bridge. Behind the arch bridge was the Xicheng District surrounded by white walls.
Although these two guards are ordinary-looking, they are both genuine monks. One is on the sixth level of Qi Refining and the other is on the seventh level.
When Liang Yan saw this, he no longer concealed his monk aura, and released his foundation-building pressure without reservation. The two guards were frightened by the power of the foundation-building spirit, and they all opened their eyes and turned towards Liang Yan.
Looking forward.
"Greetings, senior!" The two guards stepped forward in unison and bowed to Liang Yan.
"No need to be so polite."
Liang Yan smiled gently, took back his aura at the same time, and turned back into the ordinary young man again, and then asked: "I want to go to Xicheng District to do something, what documents do I need?"
"Report to senior." The two people looked at each other and said respectfully to Liang Yan: "Originally, the city lord stipulated that in order to enter the Xicheng District, you must have a certificate issued by the city lord's palace. But that was only for monks in the Qi refining period. Senior is building
With basic cultivation, naturally you are not bound by this rule."
"I see." Liang Yan nodded and asked, "Is there a trading area in the city?"
"Yes, after crossing the bridge, go right and you will find the gathering place of the major chambers of commerce. If you turn left, you can lead to the teleportation circle. However, you are not allowed to approach there normally. You can only open the teleportation circle on the first day of every month.
Even seniors are allowed in."
"On the first day of every month. Okay, I understand."
Liang Yan smiled softly, crossed the stone bridge forward, turned and walked towards the trading area.
There is a world of difference between Xicheng District and other areas of Zhiyuan City. Everyone who comes into view is a monk. Even the bosses and waiters in some wine shops are low-level Qi-refining monks.
Liang Yan walked around in it, had a cup of tea, and suddenly stopped in front of an antique shop.
"Lingbao Pavilion?"
Liang Yan looked up at the plaque on the lintel, with a trace of doubt on his face.
"If I remember correctly, I also saw a Lingbao Pavilion in Luo City of Zhao State that day, and it was still under the jurisdiction of Wenxiang Sect. I didn't expect that there is also Lingbao Pavilion in Wu State. Is it a coincidence that it has the same name?"
Confused in his mind, he unconsciously stepped into the store door.
As soon as I entered the store, I smelled a refreshing fragrance. Looking around, I saw various classics, spiritual materials, spiritual weapons and elixirs neatly stacked on the counter of the store. Most of them were
Things used during the Qi refining and foundation building stages.
At this moment, several monks were selecting in the store, and there were two young waiters behind the counter, respectfully introducing something to them.
In order to facilitate his work, Liang Yan did not deliberately hide his cultivation level after entering the city. As soon as he entered the store, the clerks and monks all turned to look at him.
"Senior, what do you need?" An old man with gray hair walked towards him with a smile on his face.
