In the afternoon of the same day, Feng Jueyu and his party prepared to settle in the ancient town. When they arrived at the entrance of the town, everyone knew that this ancient town was called "Qionghai Ancient Town". The name came from the fact that it was close to the coast of Qionghai Sea, and this area covers an area of ten miles.
The town was not originally such a small one. It was just because it was adjacent to Qionghai and was often harassed by sea monsters. Therefore, it was defeated as early as the Earthly Era. However, this town survived tens of thousands of years and was still able to survive in the end.
Down, it can be said that the monks from Northern Xinjiang contributed a lot.
Because Qionghai Ancient Town is adjacent to Qionghai, and the surrounding area belongs to the outer territory of Daze. Although there are not often large groups of martial arts cultivators, they have not lost their connections for tens of thousands of years. Many monks who ventured to Qionghai like to visit the coast.
When settling in the ancient town, some martial arts cultivators will also repair the ancient town, but the purpose is not to preserve any historical sites, but to come here frequently in the future and leave a place where they can settle down. In this way, Qionghai Ancient Town has experienced tens of thousands of years of spring and autumn.
Destroyed, it has been preserved to this day.
Looking at the historic Qionghai Ancient Town and the yellowing and peeling walls on both sides of the town's entrance, everyone was extremely surprised to see a lot of bright yellow powder sprinkled on the outside of the town. These bright yellow powders surrounded the walls of Qionghai Ancient Town.
It formed two straight lines and seemed to be sprinkled around the town. It had been mixed with the sand on the ground, and there was also a lot of wet mud that looked very sticky. It was also the same color. This kind of bright yellow powder and sticky
The stuff exudes an extremely pungent smell that makes people’s brains ache when smelling it, but there are various complex talismans on the walls of the town, emitting a faint light. Everyone looked at the different colors of soil on the ground,
I walked into the ancient town smelling the smell. When I got inside the town, the smell was dissipating. However, the inside and outside of the town were only a dozen steps away, so the smell did not appear in the town. It was indeed novel enough.
Lin Lie, who was curious about everything he encountered, turned around and glanced at the bright yellow powder scattered on the ground outside the town, and asked in confusion: "Hey? What is this? The smell is too strong.
"
"It should be to protect against evil monsters. Didn't the beast-repelling powder we used in the past also taste very strong?" Wei Xu answered quickly.
Dezi, who wanted to get involved in everything, was the last one to come in and asked: "Isn't that the feces of a ferocious demon? Would this thing be useful even if it is left in a large swamp outside the territory?"
When everyone entered the ancient town, there were people before and after, but the distance was not close. It was afternoon, and there were not many people going in and out of the town. There was no such scene of a bustling crowd, but there were still some martial arts cultivators, dressed in various costumes.
Wei was coming in and out of the town when a monk flew over and stopped at the town's entrance. Then he looked around with a frown, then took off a small treasure bag from his waist, and then
Opening the bag, he recited two mantras, and a large handful of the bright yellow powder that everyone had just seen at the entrance of the town spilled out, and the man blew a breath, and the powder floated farther and farther under the influence of divine power...
"Huh? You see he is sprinkling powder." Dezi withdrew curiously, Feng Jueyu and others also followed, and retreated outside the town. Danfan's large handful of powder was poured out of the treasure bag.
It took nearly half a cup of tea to finish pouring, and the bright yellow powder connected into a line, thickening the traces of powder on the ground at the outer edge of the town wall that were not very obvious again.
After this move was completed, the monk slowly collected the treasure bag and walked towards the entrance of the town. The whole process was very smooth, as if it was a matter of course. Feng Jueyu looked confused and glanced at Lin Lie, who understood.
, moved two steps sideways to stop the monk who was about to enter the town, and asked: "Fellow Taoist, could I please ask, what did you spill just now?"
The monk looked up at Lin Lie, who was smiling. He was stunned for three seconds, and then asked in a slightly shrill voice: "Is this your first time in Qionghai Ancient Town?"
"Um, ah..." Lin Lie was stunned when he was asked, thinking that since he didn't have any markings on his body, how could the other party know that it was his first time here?
The monk was expressionless when he saw this, and then he answered Lin Lie's previous question. He pointed at the bright yellow powder on the ground and said: "This sulfur smoke coral powder is abundant in Qionghai. This ancient town is where monks from all over the world often travel.
The place where we stay is in the vast swamp outside the territory, so we will inevitably be harassed by ferocious monsters. However, the ferocious monsters on land are very afraid of the sea tribe, so when everyone searches for heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the sea, they will bring back some sulfur smoke corals.
Grind it into powder and sprinkle it on the outside of the town. This can prevent evil monsters from appearing at night to attack the ancient town." After the monk kindly explained, he said to Lin Lie: "You came to Qionghai for adventure, right? When you come back,
If you still stay here, remember to go to the sea and get some sulfur smoke corals back. If you see where there is a lack of coral powder, sprinkle some on it. We are all monks from Jiujie Mountain. There is no village or shop here, so you should take care of yourself.
Stay focused, after all, this town is the only safe place within thousands of miles."
After the monk finished speaking, he waved his hands and left. After listening to the monk's explanation, everyone knew that the bright yellow powder was a kind of sulfur smoke coral, which was used by the sea tribe to prevent the vicious monsters on land from going into the sea to cause trouble.
Medicinal powder that marks the action.
After hearing this, Lin Lie grinned and scratched his head and said, "This place is really interesting. It's rare to see such nosy people."
Feng Jueyu said calmly: "This is not called nosy. He is right. If this town is often harassed by evil monsters, then there will really be no safe place to stay within a few thousand miles. Wait until we go
When you go to Qionghai, remember to get some coral stones and sprinkle them when you come back, and it will be considered as a contribution to the world."
Feng Jueyu said casually, and everyone nodded.
After that, Feng Jueyu led everyone into Qionghai Ancient Town. Once inside the town, it was a different scene. The layout of this ancient town was very regular. Basically, there were straight north-south streets and east-west avenues. There were many bungalows in the town.
There are local residents living next to each other, but their identities cannot be determined. The buildings passing between them are not high. There are no crowds of people on the street, but there is no shortage of monks coming and going. All the bungalows in the town are basically
Everyone opened their doors to do business, but the business was very general. It was basically like a grocery store. The things they sold were very miscellaneous. Most of the treasures of heaven, materials, earth, and treasures that Feng Jueyu and others had never seen before, so it caused another stir.
Everyone's curiosity.
Walking on the streets of the ancient town, Lin Lie and others began to have fun, browsing one shop after another. Although the items sold in these shops were not high-quality treasures, because of their novelty, Lin Lie and others still bought them.
There were a lot of them, but Feng Jueyu thought that he was not well prepared for this trip, so he suggested buying more healing and rejuvenating elixirs. He also purchased a lot of them, and spent the entire evening shopping.
Everyone trekked to the Qionghai coast and prepared to have a good rest, so they found an inn with a height of three floors and walked in. The lobby on the first floor of the inn was deserted and almost no one could be seen, but when they looked up, they could see
Seeing that the rooms on the first, second, and third floors of the ring-shaped balcony were adjacent to each other, they were all rooms of the inn. Wei Xu took the treasure bag and walked to the counter near the door, knocked on the wooden counter, and called
He woke up a shopkeeper who was dozing and asked casually: "Can you open some rooms for me?" He said and was about to take out the chalcedony from his pocket.
The fat shopkeeper squinted his eyes and stood up, asking: "How many rooms do you want?"
Wei Xu turned around and looked around. He saw that there were nine people in his family, so he said, "Nine rooms."
"There aren't that many. Three rooms for three people, one room for two people, maybe three rooms. It's enough to live in. You can just meditate at night." The shopkeeper didn't raise his head and prepared the room.
But at this time Wei Xu asked a question and directly asked the shopkeeper to kick them out.
"Okay, three rooms, how much chalcedony?" Wei Xu prepared to pay the bill, but when the shopkeeper heard this, he frowned.
"First time here?" the shopkeeper asked.
"Ah? What's wrong?" The simple Wei Xu replied directly.
Then the shopkeeper patted the table, waved his hand in disgust and said: "I'm sorry, there are no rooms, you can go."
"No..." Changxing immediately came over as soon as he heard this and asked with a sullen face: "Didn't we still have it just now? Why is it gone again?"
"The inn belongs to me, and it's not up to me to decide whether it's there or not. Go, go, there's no room left, let's go." The shopkeeper continued to harass guests, and his attitude became a little bad.
As a result, Lin Lie, who had a hot temper, couldn't bear it anymore and strode to the counter and asked: "Hey, how do you do business? Is there anyone who goes back on your word? We agreed that there is a room, why don't you let us use it?"
, it’s not like I won’t give you chalcedony?”
Feng Jueyu looked at the shopkeeper doubtfully, and he was also confused, but at this moment, two monks walked in from outside. One of them walked to the counter, and took two pieces of top-quality gold, treasure and chalcedony on the counter.
He stood on the counter and shouted: "Shopkeeper, please give me a room for two people to live in."
The shopkeeper ignored Lin Lie at all. After collecting the chalcedony from the counter, he pointed to the small corner door on the first floor and said, "No. 13, go on your own."
"No...why do they have rooms? Why don't we?" Lu Changxing became angry when he saw it. He stepped forward to argue with the shopkeeper. Even Fan Wudou was a little unhappy with this different treatment, but just now
At this time, one of the two monks who came in earlier turned around and glanced at everyone, and said, "Is this your first time in the ancient town?"
This is the third time that everyone has been asked the same sentence since entering Qionghai Ancient Town. The first time was in front of the entrance of the ancient town, the second time was asked by the shopkeeper just now, and the third time, it was this person who seemed to only
Monks around the Miaodu period.
Everyone was stunned. Only then did Feng Jueyu realize that he, a group of strangers, was the key to different treatment, so he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, this is indeed our first time to Qionghai Ancient Town. Do you have any questions?"
