And around the entire square, there were dozens of exits that were the same as the passage he was in. There were also monks wearing various armors coming in and out.

When Wu Tao saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

Huang Yingjie, who had been leading the way, turned back to chat with Wu Tao from time to time.

Through a short chat, Wu Tao understood some of the most basic rules in this military camp.

When Wu Tao walked out of the square and looked forward, his heart skipped a beat and his mouth opened wide.

Wherever you look, you can see neat houses, densely distributed, as many as ten thousand.

How many monks are stationed in this military camp? So many houses need to be built.

Huang Yingjie took Wu Tao through a garden that was obviously used for rest and entertainment.

At this time, there were dozens of armor-clad monks chatting with each other in the garden.

When Huang Yingjie and Wu Tao passed by these people, these people also noticed them.

Immediately, someone among them asked a question.

…

"Hey, isn't this Brother Huang? Why, is this also a new companion?"

A middle-aged young woman with red hair and pink clothes asked with a charming smile.

…

As soon as Huang Yingjie saw this charming middle-aged young woman, his face was filled with smiles.

This middle-aged young woman has also reached the Dzogchen stage of the foundation-building monk, and Huang Yingjie does not dare to be too negligent.

After briefly telling the middle-aged young woman Wu Tao's identity, Huang Yingjie took Wu Tao out of the garden.

This middle-aged young woman glanced at Wu Tao with a strange look.

Seeing this, Wu Tao smiled slightly and nodded to show his good intentions.

Huang Yingjie greeted a few other people, gave a few vague answers, and then found a house for Wu Tao.

…

In this house, there are not only secret rooms specially used for cultivation, but also forbidden formations to protect the safety of the monks.

Moreover, the aura contained around the house is also extremely rich.

Wu Tao was very satisfied and nodded immediately.

Seeing this, Huang Yingjie told a few taboos about this place, left a prohibition token, said he had a mission, and immediately left.

This actually made Wu Tao take the opportunity to grab the other party and inquire in detail about his plan to return to Tongguan City, but he failed.

…

Wu Tao sat cross-legged on the futon and began his daily meditation practice.

Originally, according to his original plan, he would first find a place with enough supernatural powers in Tongguan City and stay in seclusion for ten or eight years, in order to quickly and perfectly break through the pill formation stage.

But what he never expected was that something like this would happen, causing Wu Tao's original plan to come to nothing.

He almost didn't even save his own life, so he didn't think much about it and immediately followed the two people to the military camp composed of a large number of monks.

But once we get here, everything here seems to be very different from an ordinary monk's camp. We don't know what will happen next.

This also made him feel really unsure.

The only thing he knew was that there seemed to be quite a few foreign monks like him in Tongguan City.

As Wu Tao thought about it, he couldn't help but think too much. The more he thought about it, the more he became restless.

He secretly thought about whether he should go outside now and inquire about the rules and regulations of Tongguan City and how foreign monks like himself would be arranged.

Just when Wu Tao wanted to take action, suddenly a charming voice came from outside the gate.

"Fellow Taoist, you are in the house. The little lady Liu Ru

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Mei, may I have the opportunity to come into the room and have a chat with fellow Taoist monks?"

When Wu Tao heard this, he was startled for a moment, then chuckled.

It seemed that he didn't need to go out by himself, someone actually took the initiative to send it up.

…

"It turns out that Fairy Liu is here to visit. Wu is so honored!"

Wu Tao replied, then waved the token in his hand towards the door.

After the door banged, it opened on its own.

Standing outside the door was a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in a fancy dress. She was the woman she had met briefly in the garden.

"My Taoist friend's original surname is Wu. I hope you won't be offended by this young lady for disturbing me so rashly." Liu Rumei smiled with a smile on her face and was full of politeness.

…

"Haha, how could Wu think so?"

"Even if Fairy Liu doesn't come, Wu plans to visit you all."

Wu Tao has not been fooling around for so many years, and his words are impeccable.

In this way, the two of them chatted and chatted more and more enthusiastically, just like they had been friends for many years.

"I have inquired about it. In Xicheng District, Brother Wu had a fight with the eldest daughter of Deputy City Lord Lu's family, and even forced the eldest daughter in the middle of the pill formation stage to use magical powers. Is this true?"

As Liu Rumei was talking, she changed the topic and asked tentatively.

…

"Well...I don't know how to answer the fairy's words?"

When Wu Tao heard this, his expression suddenly changed and his tone slowly changed.

He would not reveal his true origin easily, after all, he was a foreigner from the world of immortality.

Once exposed, it will cause huge trouble for yourself.

Moreover, this also involves many inheritances within oneself.

…

"The little woman is confused. Taoist friend has just arrived in Tongguan City not long ago, so naturally he doesn't know much about all this. It's normal to be cautious."

"However, for a genius like fellow Taoist who can receive supernatural powers during the foundation building stage, the possibility of advancing to the pill forming stage is far beyond what ordinary monks like us can compare with."

"It also attracts more attention from the higher-ups. Most fellow Taoists will be directly appointed as Silver Armor Guards without going through any assessment." Liu Rumei burst out laughing when he saw this.

"Silver-armored guard? Can Fairy Liu explain to Wu what this silver-armored guard does?" Wu Tao asked directly with a look of doubt in his eyes.

…

"This is not a secret, it can be said naturally."

"Actually, Fellow Daoist Wu, as long as you stay in Tongguan City for a while and ask more people, you will soon understand these things clearly."

Liu Rumei said with a smile.

…

"Actually, the so-called blue-armored guards, silver-armored guards, and golden-armored guards refer to realms and official positions."

"The Qingjiawei is a monk in the Qi training period, the lowest level in the army of monks, an ordinary soldier."

"The Silver Armored Guard is a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. He usually serves as the captain of the army of monks. He usually oversees between ten and thirty soldiers in the Qi Training Stage."

"The Golden Armored Guard is a monk in the elixir formation stage. He usually serves as the captain of the monk army and controls about 300 to 500 monks."

"That's it, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao nodded, indicating that he understood.

Wu Tao then asked again, "Fairy, how many monks do we have in this military camp now?"

"What Fellow Daoist Wu is asking is somewhat interesting. The almost standing army of monks should be around fifty or sixty thousand. As for the detailed number, I don't know what it is."

Liu Rumei frowned and said with some uncertainty.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

…

Wu Tao nodded and asked again: "Since there are so many monks who are willing to stay in this military camp as soldiers, the treatment here must be very good, right?

…

"Fellow Daoist Wu can see the problem at a glance. Yes, the salary of being a soldier in this military camp is indeed good. As far as I know, there are not many people who are willing to leave on their own."

"This is not just the case for us in Tongguan City, but also for the local monks. Even the monks from other places, once they join the Jiawei, are never willing to leave the status of the Jiawei easily."

Liu Rumei replied with a smile.
