The mountain fog gradually becomes thinner, and the view becomes wider and wider.
When he walked out of a valley suppressed by two mountain-like statues, what appeared in front of Lu Zhong was a vast plain covered with water nets, indicating that he had entered the Yongling area.
Once we get here, it's basically safe.
This place is still some distance away from Yongling City, more than three thousand miles away, so it will take at least three or two days for Lu Zhong to reach his destination.
He meditated and rested by the stream, and after eating roasted snake meat, he started again.
After walking along the road for half a day, a huge walled city appeared in front of us.
The walled city rises from the ground, and is not much different in size from a market town. It is surrounded by vast stretches of fertile farmland, at least more than 10,000 acres. There is a winding bluestone road extending from the walled gate to the main road, and a specially built building is built at the connection.
The sentry tower, which is more than ten feet high, seems to be specially designed to monitor the direction of Hanshan Mountain.
With the help of the Qi Watching Technique, Lu Zhong was surprised to find that the sentry tower was actually protected by a magic circle. The eggshell-like protective shield was flowing with spiritual light, which was particularly conspicuous in the dusty field of vision.
As soon as he approached, the sentry tower immediately responded.
A male cultivator with tied hair in Taoist robes jumped onto the female wall and spoke with magic: "Donghua Village is not open to the public. If you Taoist friends need to stay overnight, you can go to Yinbao Village at the rear!"
Lu Zhong leaned over just out of curiosity. After all, this was his first time in a mortal village like Donghua Village, which was full of brick and tile houses. The internal building layout was also very regular. Compared with the mortal villages in Yanling Mountain,
It really does exist like a shack.
Seeing that the other party was ready to fight, he could only continue to move forward.
At sunset, another walled city finally appeared ahead, not much smaller than Donghua Walled City. From the plaque on the city gate, we can tell that this is the "Yinbao Walled City" that the person just mentioned.
At this time, the city gate of Yinbaozhai was wide open, and people came in and out from time to time.
There is a team of soldiers guarding the door. They are nine feet tall and are fully clothed in armor. They are responsible for checking the mortals coming in and out. In a pavilion next to it, there is a middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt sitting. He was eating pastries and drinking tea, enjoying the beauty of two people.
The flower-like jade maid beat her legs and pressed her shoulders.
Seeing Lu Zhong coming, he immediately stood up and walked out of the pavilion, greeting him with a smile:
"Welcome fellow Taoist to Yinbaozhai!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man in Confucian shirt was only in the early stages of Qi refining, Lu Zhong just nodded to him, then raised his hands and asked, "I wonder how I can get inside to rest?"
"This is simple. You only need to pay five talisman coins."
Lu Zhong was slightly surprised after hearing this, and secretly thought that the price was really low.
So he took out five blank talisman papers from the storage bag and handed them to the other party.
"Just a little bit."
"No need, how can you, Taoist friend, use fake money if you have such a cultivation level?" The middle-aged man in Confucian shirt accepted the talisman money, his eyes fell on Lu Zhong's cassock under his gray robe, and his smile became even bigger: "Fellow Taoist, can you use fake money?"
Need someone to guide you? Although this Yinbao Village is not big, its interior is unique, and there seem to be quite a few places dedicated to serving monks..."
Listening to what he said, it was obvious that he meant something.
"No need, I just want to find a place to rest." Lu Zhong shook his head.
After saying that, he walked towards the city gate.
Go through the doorway and come to the street.
Although this street is not as wide as Yanling Mountain, it is still tidy enough. The gutters on both sides are obviously regularly maintained. Not even a patch of moss can be seen on them, and there is no unpleasant smell coming from them.
In the evening, there are many pedestrians on the street.
Most of them are mortals. Judging from their faces, they don't look hungry. They probably can fill their stomachs.
When they see Lu Zhong coming towards him, the mortals here will be afraid of the monks and salute, and actively step aside to the side of the road. This is slightly different from the mortals in the Yanling Mountain area, but somewhat similar to those in Qingliufang.
Occasionally, a monk would walk out of the roadside tavern arm-in-arm.
One or two of them were very drunk and kept talking nonsense. They were all at the first or second level of Qi refining.
Continuing to move forward, Lu Zhong walked to an inn.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a scolding sound coming from inside.
In the hall stood a heavily painted woman, loudly scolding a row of young maids in front of her.
"Both of them are useless. Where have you forgotten everything I taught you?"
"How many times have I told you that if you don't conceive a fairy child, you will have to live in the village all your life and keep company with a group of ordinary people. Farm women in the fields will be the best end for you. How can you live in Yongling City and become a master?
easy?"
"There are seven days left in this month. If no one is happy yet, then all of them will be given to me to get married!"
When Lu Zhong outside the door heard this, he didn't feel much in his heart.
After all, most of the mortals who work as "maids" in the inn do so voluntarily.
It can be seen from their decent appearance that their family background is not that bad. They all serve delicious food and drinks on weekdays, otherwise they would not be able to have such fair and tender skin.
As for the purpose, it is naturally the so-called "fairy fetus".
The world of cultivation has long concluded that when a mortal unites with a mortal, the probability of giving birth to an offspring with spiritual roots is the lowest, and when a monk unites with a monk, the probability of giving birth to an offspring with spiritual roots is the highest.
Mortals ask monks for immortal fetuses.
Is it a way of survival or a bad habit?
Lu Zhong didn't intend to comment on this and walked into the inn.
Seeing an immortal master coming to the door, the gorgeous woman who looked like a fierce tiger suddenly changed her attitude at this moment, turning into a weak and middle-aged lady, and said softly:
"Master Immortal, please come here. There is still room available in the inn, so feel free to rest peacefully tonight."
Led by the other party, Lu Zhong soon arrived at an upper room.
The layout of the room is elegant, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging are all by famous artists.
The bedding exudes the smell of sunshine, and there is also a faint fragrance of orchid. It has obviously been carefully dried and treated with aromatherapy.
There is a small door next to it, and you can see a bathtub inside, which is steaming and has a lot of hot water.
"Not bad." Lu Zhong nodded with satisfaction. He could even take a bath now.
Although monks can relieve fatigue just by meditating, it is not as comfortable as bathing and sleeping.
So he turned around and said to the woman: "How much does it cost per night?"
"Go back to the Immortal Master, and you will have to pay five talismans a night to go to the house." The rich woman's tone was filled with disappointment that could not be concealed. After all, if the monk took the initiative to pay for it, it meant that the other party did not need to serve him.
If you don’t serve, how can you get a “fairy fetus”?
No wonder she was so disappointed.
Pointing out the talisman money to the other party, Lu Zhong waved his hand and said: "Go down."
Hearing the footsteps fading away, he shook his head.
"Oh, a little bit of red lips can be tasted by thousands of people..."
If money was spent, Lu Zhong would naturally not waste it, but now... let's forget it.
Only by experiencing how good female cultivators are can we know where ordinary women are inferior.
