Yuancheng is small and outdated. It is not so much a small town as a slightly larger town.
No one can remember when it was built. The reddish-brown city walls are full of traces of time passing, and many cracks appear.
Ye Fan walked in the city and felt the time settled and the time passed. The stone slabs on the streets were sunken, and there were monks coming and going.
This guy, for the first time, you are here in Yuancheng. Do you want to purchase Yuanshi? Come to our Shixuan to have a look and guarantee that there are the strange stones you like.
Whether the Taoist priest needs good materials to transport from the edge of the Taichu ancient ore, and the goods are genuine, so you might as well come in and take a look.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, operating various source stones, and enthusiastically greeting monks coming and going.
Ye Fan dared not look down on these people. Although the shops are small, they all have a background and are closely related to the major holy places.
He walked into a Shizhai and chatted with the owner of the shop. The price of stone here was ridiculously expensive.
Shizhai is not big, but a room is standing on the street. There is only a red sandalwood rack in the store, with only a dozen pieces of stones placed on it.
Ye Fan was shocked. These stones were ten times the value of the source of the same weight.
This is too expensive!
These are not ordinary stones, but precious materials to be sent to the holy city, and are contaminated with the fairy spirit of the Taichu.Introduction to the owner.
It was so expensive that it was no longer the source, but the more precious thing sealed in the stone. After Ye Fan comprehended the "Source Book of Origin", he had extraordinary eyesight and only chose one piece of material, so he stopped taking action.
It is not worth the cost of gambling here. Things that are more precious than the source are hard to come by. How could they see them casually? The reason why he took action was just to get along with the store owner.
Brother, are there any ways? I want to visit Taichu Ancient Mine.He wanted to go to Taichu Ancient Mine, but he encountered trouble.
The mining areas outside the Taichu Ancient Mine have been divided by major holy spots. It is easy to say other places, but it is difficult for outsiders to pass through the areas near the forbidden area of life.
Ye Fan is not the successor of the Holy Land. If there is no other way, he, a casual cultivator, would not be able to pass through those areas at all.
I said, little brother, that place is absolutely impossible to go to, and even the great lords cannot make a wave after entering.Shizhai's master advised.
Ye Fan smiled and said: I am not going to die, I just want to see it from afar. I have heard of the name of Taichu for a long time, but I cannot see it at first. It is a pity.
The shop owner smiled and said: I understand completely that there are often young people like you who want to go far and see, but in the end they can't control themselves. They are like being summoned by the Demon Lord and walking into the depths of the forbidden area. Many people will disappear every year.
In this way, is there a way to go to Taichu?Ye Fan's eyes lit up.
Taoist priest, I advise you not to take risks, as curiosity will really kill people.Shizhai's master kindly persuaded him.
I also ask my brother for help, I know the importance.Ye Fan insisted on going.
In this case, you can find a person named Lao Daozhaozi, but it is expensive and very scammed.The owner provided Ye Fan with such information.
Then, he wandered around the stone city for a long time and learned why this old knife handle was.
This is an old local snake. Of course, it is not a gangster among mortals, but a hob meat among monks. He has a wide connection in this area and takes on various businesses, such as escorting the source stone, and even assassination.
Lao Daozhao lived in the Nancheng District, but only five low green tiled houses, which looked dilapidated.
He had no style of an old local snake at all. He was like a duty old farmer, with wrinkles on his face and rough calluses on his hands. He squatted on the ground, smoking his tobacco pipes, and could not tell the depth of his cultivation.
It's really evil. Every year, people go to die by themselves... Lao Daozhe muttered in an inauspicious voice, then raised his head to look at Ye Fan and said: Let's wait a few days, get enough people to go.
Are you taking these business?Ye Fan noticed that there were many notices posted on one wall.
I am the person who is the one who will not kill people. These are powers of attorney. I am just an intermediary contact person. Those who want to take on life will come to me to take on the task.The old knife sucked the pipe and said: If you want to take the job, I can also contact you. As for the reward, I will give you 20%.
Ye Fan browsed casually, and his eyebrows jumped. Some of these tasks actually involved him.
He picked up a piece of golden paper with a clear picture of his appearance. Just providing clues can get a source of 100 kilograms, killing it can get a 500 kilograms, and capturing it alive can get a 100 kilograms.
This is really a high price, and I spared no expense to get him out.
The employer did not hide his identity, and clearly wrote a big word... Ji.
You immortal Banban!
Although Ye Fan was mentally prepared, he still caused some trouble and fled to the Northern Region. The Ji family still didn't want to let him go and issued an anti-killing order.
The people from Fluctlight knew that they had come to the Northern Region and that the people from the Ji family would not have received any news.
I seem to have seen such an anti-killing order in other cities.Ye Fan tempted.
Lao Dao spat out a mouthful of smoke and said: If you provoke someone you shouldn't provoke, this child won't live long.There are many people coming from the younger generation of the Ji family, and there are also some young people with Fluctlight.
Ye Fan casually checked other entrusted tasks, but he saw several... urged Ye Ling.
Not only are there signs from several masters of the younger generation of the Ji family, but there is also a killing order issued by disciples from the Fluctlight Holy Land.
Ye Fan learned the Great Void Art and burned the Supreme Elder of the Ji Family to death. This family would not let him go.
Why is Fluctlight's disciple who has never lived like this? He suddenly thought of Yao Xi, which was probably her instructed.
Kill me...I want to see how you can pull me out.Ye Fan sneered in his heart. He practiced the "Source Book of Origin" and could change his aura and make it difficult for the other party to find his own trace.
I want to see the younger generation of masters.Ye Fan's strength has been growing recently and he is quite moved. He wants to find someone to try the knife.
He didn't believe that everyone was like Ji Haoyue and the Holy Son of Fluctlight. If he was a young monk from the two or three levels of the secret realm of the Tao Palace, he felt that he could kill him.
How powerful is Ye Fan? Why did they mobilize so many people?Ye Fan asked casually.
It is said that he was a monk from the secret realm of the Wheat Sea half a year ago, and there would be no big changes in such a short time.Lao Dao spitted a smoke ring, stared at him with his turbid old eyes, and said: Are you interested in taking over? I only raised half of the bounty for this mission, and the rest belongs to you.
OK, I have answered it, please tell me the details.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Ye Fan left Nancheng District.
How about it, has the Taoist master reached an agreement? Could it be that old guy slaughtered him?When passing by the Shizhai, the owner asked enthusiastically.
I will collect my 50 kilograms and set off in two days.Ye Fan replied.
Although it is expensive, it is not too harsh.The owner of Shizhai recommended: Buy a stone coat from me, which is an old stone peeled off from the treasure source, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits.
The beast roared, and a group of people rushed into the Yuancheng City. These were a group of young people, all of whom were in their twenties, with extraordinary mounts, three feet above the ground, and rushed past the street.
Ye Fan touched his chin and was thinking about it just now. He didn't want to meet the people from the Ji family soon, so he didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
Two days later, Ye Fan came to the broken tile house of Lao Daozhuzi in Nancheng District. More than a dozen people were waiting there, most of them were young people.
After half a month, the number of people finally got almost the same.Lao Dao held the dry tobacco pipe in his hand and said: First of all, I am only responsible for guiding the way and taking care of my life and death. If I were summoned into the old mine, it had nothing to do with me.
These people have already understood the rules, and no one has said anything else, they just urged them to go on the road.
Why bother? What's the beauty of an ancient mine? Many people are ruined every year.The old knife muttered.
Some people don’t like to listen and say: I said, “Old man, can you say some festive words, as if cursing us to die.”
OK, I wish us a good journey!I won’t say much about the old knife.He never took care of this task, he always took charge of it himself.
When he walked out of Yuancheng, Ye Fan met the young people from the Ji family again. They were in a hurry and drove away by the wild beasts.
Even though the strange beasts did not touch the ground, the strong wind still blew a lot of dust and sand, which made these people who wanted to march into the ancient Taichu mine glar.
Is there anything to be arrogant? Do you really think this city is your palace?
Shh, whisper, do you know who those are? They are from the Ji family, and they will cause great disasters.
Several of the teams who rushed out turned around and glared a few times. One of them showed a hint of sneer and said: Misfortune comes from the mouth, control your mouth.They didn't stop, they flew away.
It's really...too arrogant, the ancient family is amazing?!Some people were angry, but they only dared to mutter quietly after those people left.
Lao Daozhaozi has been walking on this road for decades, and has actually avoided the blockade of the holy land and walked in along the secret road.
Everyone walked and stopped, and ten days later, walking through a large unmanned land and the vast Gobi Desert. The old sword brought everyone to the periphery of Taichu ancient mine.
Less than a thousand miles away from the so-called edge of the beginning, they came outside the legendary forbidden zone of life.
You can only go further 800 miles, otherwise you will be in danger. You must control yourself, don’t be impulsive, and don’t say anything randomly.The old knife warned me solemnly.
There is nothing here, the earth is as red as blood. It has been like this since ancient times, and silence is the eternal theme.
The ground is full of sand and gravel, and the stone mountains I occasionally see are as red as blood and as silent as tombstones.
This place is so desolate that you can't even see ghosts.Some people sighed.
Don't talk nonsense!The old knife scolded him angrily.
As for this, there is nothing, what are you afraid of if you say a few words?A young man was very dissatisfied and thought he was too careful.
Lao Dao kept muttering, not knowing what he was saying, and he bowed forward and bowed again and again. Then he turned around and glared at him angrily and shouted: If you want to die, leave by yourself, don’t follow us. Since I lead the team, you must listen to me.
Lao Dao is too much, we have paid you the source, how can you be so stubborn?The young man was dissatisfied and asked coldly.
I can return the source to you and you leave yourself.The old knife handle responded indifferently.
Forget it, everyone will calm down. Anyway, they are almost at the location, so I will say less.Someone next to him advised.
Lao Daozhao said coldly: I am for your own good. If you talk nonsense in this area, someone will die.
Is it that serious?No one around believed it.
Lao Dao snorted coldly and said: Three years ago, because there was one of the team's population without taboos, it caused a big disaster. In the end, only I and the other two survived.
So terrible, what happened, everyone else... died?There were a few people who were timid and asked carefully.
No one knew what was going on. At that time, everyone was blind and could not sense anything. They only heard screams. When they regained their spiritual senses, there were only twenty piles of blood on the ground.The old knife told the boy calmly.
The vast earth is empty, red for thousands of miles, and it can't be seen at first sight, and sand and dust occasionally roll up.
Everyone looked at each other, half-believing and half-doubting.
The young man obviously disbelief and sneered: Everyone is a monk, can he still be afraid of demons?I believe that as long as you don’t enter the forbidden zone of life, nothing bad will happen outside.
Bang!
Lao Dao threw a bag of source on the ground and said: Go, return the source to yours, you can't walk with us anymore.
Forget it, don't talk nonsense, keep moving forward.Someone persuaded him.
OK, can't I stop talking?The young man felt a little scared when he saw Lao Dao's face sinking and was so serious.
Remember, no one is allowed to talk nonsense!Lao Dao held his face with a gloomy face and solemnly advised him.
No one can remember when it was built. The reddish-brown city walls are full of traces of time passing, and many cracks appear.
Ye Fan walked in the city and felt the time settled and the time passed. The stone slabs on the streets were sunken, and there were monks coming and going.
