The outer city area of Qianzhou Daocheng is extremely dangerous. Generally speaking, only those desperadoes who think they have great powers, or those who have to go to the outer city to make a lot of money, will often go hunting in the outer city.
Treasure hunt.
More importantly, I am actually willing to suffer in the inner city. After all, although life in the inner city is frustrating, it is not very risky.
But if you leave the city and wander around in the outer city, once you die, everything will be lost.
Yu Lie thought about this, and there was a troubled look on his face.
To be honest, if there were better opportunities, he wouldn't want to venture into the outer city.
His temperament is cautious by nature. When he was a Taoist boy, he could work hard for more than a year, accumulating thick and thin. Now he is cautious step by step and has achieved success in cultivation. Even if his mind is agitated, he is more willing to accumulate slowly.
Concerned, Yu Lie sighed softly on his face: "It's a pity that time waits for no one."
Now it is less than half a year since he turned eighteen.
If he does not prepare some resources and means for himself to survive in this short half year, when he takes the Tao Palace test, he will probably lose this rare opportunity and be unable to enter the Tao Palace at once.
According to what Yu Fenggao said, if you take one slow step, you will probably be slow every step of the way and for the rest of your life.
Even if Yu Lie only delays for one year and can worship in the Taoist Palace again the next year, the gap of this one year will probably turn into decades of ups and downs in the subsequent journey, which will be difficult to make up for.
As for what the consequences will be, Yu Lie still doesn't know, and Yu Fenggao didn't talk about it in detail, but it must be enough to make people regret.
And according to what Yu Fenggao vaguely revealed, a large part of the annual Taoist palace test is related to foreign worlds and foreign creatures. Even if it is not involved, if the Taoist disciples participating in the test have rich experience in traveling outside the territory, they will also
It will be a big plus and cannot be ignored!
The above two points are the main reasons why Yu Liede went to the outer city to explore.
In particular, he is a Taoist disciple from the Heihe River Basin. This group of Taoist disciples from Heihe have no experience in entering the secret realm. If Yu Lie does not go out to hang out in the outer city, he may be
Compared with ordinary Taoist disciples, they have even less experience.
Thinking about it, Yu Lie's eyes were firm, and he no longer had so many worries, but instead began to think about how he should ensure the safety of his experience in the outer city.
Yu Lie considered in his mind:
"Generally speaking, when you go out to the outer city for the first time, it's best to pay someone to lead the way, or join a powerful team. But I don't have any extra spirit stones in my hands at the moment, and I'm not familiar with the place..."
Cousin Yu Fenggao is a good candidate, but he has been busy preparing for the next Dao Palace test recently. Sister-in-law Luo Sen refused to even let him go out to work, for fear of delaying Yu Fenggao's cultivation.
If Yu Lie wanted to let the other party take him to hang out in a dangerous outer city, he would probably only get rejected and hurt the relationship between both parties.
Apart from Yu Fenggao, Yu Lie had no other familiar or trusted people in the city for the time being. He did not dare to just find a team and join in the adventure in the outer city.
Because even though both sides of the team will sign a contract with each other before setting off, they are not allowed to attack each other. If there is any violation, once discovered, the Taoist court will severely punish them, and even deprive them of their Taoist treasures for decades.
But this also requires that the person who went out has a chance to come back alive before he can report on the other party again.
If the person cannot come back and no one reports him, the Taoist court will not repeatedly interrogate other people just because of a dead person.
Only those who have signed a contract that must ensure the safety of their employer, and if the employer dies, the rest of the team will suffer heavy penalties, can this be considered as the best way to ensure safety.
However, if you want to sign such a contract with other people in the team, you have to spend a lot of spiritual stones, which is equivalent to hiring the entire team by one person. Yu Lie does not have so many spiritual stones.
After thinking about it, Yu Lie's mind suddenly fell on a certain person.
His eyes flickered, thinking in his mind: "Miaomu, fellow Taoist Miao..."
Although this person is his enemy, he doesn't know that it was Yu Lie who broke her arm. Whether they are considered enemies or not is a question.
Moreover, Miaomu's strength is similar to that of Yu Lie. If there is a conflict, it is not certain who will live and who will die.
What's even more special is that if Yu Lie's guess is correct, this woman is most likely one of the Taoist disciples who have been wandering around in the outer city.
In diving hotels, the vast majority of Taoist disciples who have just entered Taoism choose to work in workshops and become Taoist priests.
However, there are also a small number of Taoist disciples who cannot get used to such a hard life and are unwilling to rely on others, preferring to venture into dangerous outer city areas.
Among them, the more Taoist disciples come from small and dangerous places, the greater the possibility of going to outer cities to hang out.
Yu Lie thought about it for a moment, and immediately decided to go find Miaomu first.
He thought in his heart: "Even if Miaomu is not one of the Taoist disciples hanging out in the outer city, she does not have a stable livelihood and no permanent property in the city, her relationship with the Taoist disciples in the outer city should be closer, and I can pass it on
She went to inquire about it. And, I persuaded her to go out together..."
After sorting things out, Yu Lie immediately pushed open the door and walked out of the low medicine refining room where he had been in seclusion for many days.
Buzz!
The formation opened, followed by a clang sound.
Outside the door of Yu Lie's alchemy compartment, there were actually some bottles and jars placed, blocking the small door of the low house. As soon as the door was opened, it was pushed down.
A surprised voice rang out: "Hey! It's Fellow Daoist Yu. Fellow Daoist, you are now out of seclusion. How about it? Your cultivation has greatly increased? Have you achieved a breakthrough?"
A curious voice came from the rosacea Taoist disciple, who popped up from a corner with his head stretched out.
This made Yu Lie's originally happy mood suddenly dim as if he had heard the crow of a crow.
To be more precise, Yu Liebi frowned secretly when he heard the crow.
The man with rosacea turned a blind eye. He sniffed, looked at the rest of the team suspiciously, and muttered: "I can't see any change in my cultivation. What on earth did you do in the cubicle? You were delayed in vain."
So many days of work.”
This fellow's cultivation level is far above the rest. He is an old Taoist disciple. He is over forty years old and belongs to the lower rank of the eighth rank. He has been a lower rank Taoist disciple for many years.
Therefore, rosacea can roughly identify Yu Lie's true energy through his aura.
Yu Lie just cupped his hands and said calmly: "Pindao's retreat has delayed the pharmacy's business. Fellow Taoists can just cut off Pindao's share of the money. You're welcome."
After saying that, he immediately closed the compartment door and left.
Only the rosacea hurriedly walked out, looking at his leaving back half angrily and half suspiciously.
Rosacea snorted: "You kid, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your attitude is even more rude than before. You are simply inferior to your predecessors!"
On Yu Lie's side, he heard the cold snort of the rosaceous Taoist disciple behind him, and he also sneered in his heart:
"Old man, I'll give you something good sooner or later!"
If Yu Lie was still quite hesitant about leaving the city and did not dare to go alone, but he was not afraid at all just from having a conflict with this rosacea.
Because for old Taoist disciples like Rosacea who are doing hard work and training in the Tao city, let alone a low-level Taoist disciple, even if the opponent is a mid-level Taoist, it is difficult for him to master high-level spells.
Otherwise, the other party would never end up in a inferior pharmacy and have to work hard.
As for high-level magicians, generally speaking, only those who are also high-level magicians can compete, pursue, and restrain them.
Taoists use talismans and other things that are more powerful than superior spells, because after all they are foreign objects, they cannot be used as they wish, and they are not as convenient as spells.
As long as Rosacea doesn't have any superior spells in his hand, Yu Lie can basically escape from his opponent even if he can't defeat him, and at most he will suffer a small loss.
However, Yu Lie would not fall out with Rosacea immediately, and would continue to ignore him for now.
After sneering, Yu Lie hurriedly walked out of the pharmacy completely.
But when Yu Lie walked out of the workshop, and was about to step out of the workshop completely, his steps suddenly stopped, and he froze near the door of the workshop, and did not step out of the door again.
Yu Lie frowned and looked at the sky, then looked back at the huge time sign in the workshop, frowned and said to himself:
"I didn't expect that now is the time to be ugly."
After being in seclusion for many days, Yu Lie couldn't distinguish between hours. He saw the lights in the pharmacy were brightly lit, the fishy smell was everywhere, and the Taoist boys were busy, so he subconsciously thought it was still daytime.
As a result, when I came out now, I saw that it was pitch black outside the workshop.
The workshop, which was originally very busy during the day and crowded with people, now became silent and strange.
In the thick darkness of the night, the plaques and other objects that were partially flashing auras were also dim. There were only silent spirit boats and hearses, floating uninhabited in the Tao City like ghost carriages.
Qianzhou Daocheng was as quiet as death in the middle of the night, with no sign of any living creatures in the city.
Even though he had mastered the advanced wind control skills and was good at escaping, Yu Lie wisely found a place near the workshop gate with a slightly stronger aura, and meditated cross-legged on the spot without setting foot outside the workshop.
Half step.
Because in Qianzhou Daocheng, there is such a rule:
When the time comes, you will be responsible for life and death!
During the day and midnight in Qianzhou Daocheng, the rules are strict and the laws are complete. Many ghosts and gods are everywhere and pervasive like flies, ensuring the operation of the Daocheng and suppressing many Taoists.
But when Zishi comes, the entire Tao City will seem to be asleep, and there will be no ghosts and gods wandering on the streets. Only in major workshops, hotels, buildings and other places, there are still Tao laws, and no one can do anything.
If you violate the law, you will be severely punished, even worse!
In places other than workshops, hotels, buildings and other buildings, you can fight and fight, and Taoists each rely on their abilities.
As for why there is such a rule that hinders livelihood in the bustling inner city area, and what its purpose is, Yu Lie is not sure.
What he only knows is that once midnight arrives, unless it is a big deal, do not leave the hotel or other places. Otherwise, if you go out on the street, someone will probably pick up the body, collect the body, and guard the body. The next day will
Disappeared without a trace.
Of course, if you are brave, you can also go to the streets in advance to collect other people's corpses and hunt for windfall.
Yu Lie cautiously sat cross-legged inside the workshop door until the end of Yinshi, and then he opened his eyes and looked outside the workshop.
It was not far from sunrise at this time, and it was the time when the day was the coldest and darkest. Faintly, Yu Lie seemed to hear the faint whistling and roaring sounds coming from the streets in the distance.
In the past, when the sky was slightly dark, he would leave the workshop and return to the coffin to breathe out and practice, so he had not seen the Daocheng after that.
Suddenly, Yu Lie's ears twitched slightly, and he realized that he had heard correctly. There was indeed movement somewhere outside the workshop.
A Taoist with a frightened face suddenly ran out of the darkness.
He was still wearing the Taoist robe from the workshop, and he seemed to be from the Qianlin Chamber of Commerce. He looked young, but Yu Lie didn't recognize him.
The spiritual light in the Taoist body faded, and when he saw the door of the workshop, surprise burst out in his eyes.
When he saw someone in front of the gate, the frightened Taoist even shouted: "This fellow Taoist, save me!"
Yu Lie raised his eyelids slightly, but looked at the other party indifferently and stood still.
Whoosh, right behind the opponent, arrows were immediately shot out from the darkness, and a piece of talisman turned into a golden knife and struck quickly.
The man rushed towards the door with all his strength, and the aura suddenly appeared on his body, dragging out a series of afterimages. He narrowly avoided the attack and approached the door of the workshop. After passing the dividing line, he was inside the workshop.
The Taoist's face showed ecstasy.
At this time, two vague Taoist figures walked out of the darkness behind him. Both of them just looked at the fleeing Taoist quietly without raising their hands. They seemed to know that they had lost the chance to capture and kill the fleeing Taoist.
Last chance.
The Taoist who had escaped successfully rushed into the workshop and crossed the dividing line.
In an instant, the man's face showed even greater joy, and he felt lucky to have survived the disaster.
He turned around and looked at the two Taoists who were stopping behind him, and then at Yu Lie who was standing not far away.
The Taoist was overjoyed and was about to say something as he turned toward the remaining troops not far away.
But there was a click.
The happy look on the Taoist's face froze, he smiled strangely, his neck tilted, and his head suddenly fell off.
Bang!
His body burst into pieces and turned into a puddle of bright red flesh, pressed tightly against the door of the workshop, like a smear of blood from a mosquito that had been swatted to death.
Faceless ghosts emerged from nowhere, with human bodies and hands, and muttered stupidly: "Curfew, curfew, those who go must not be remonstrated, and those who come must die."
"Die, die, die!"
The ghosts chanted in unison, howling and pounced on the blood stains, and rolled up the bones and blood, making the ground as clean as new.
Only a head and an empty Taoist robe floated up, lifted up by the ghost, and flew back into the workshop strangely.
Yu Lie looked in the direction where the ghost flew and saw another Taoist.
The Taoist man was pointing at the door of the workshop, his body was steaming with true energy, and his dark Taoist robe was moving automatically without any wind.
This Taoist was also faceless, but he seemed to be aware of Yu Lie's gaze.
Seeing Yu Lie looking over, Wu Mian bowed to Yu Lie from afar, and then retreated into a corner of the workshop.
