Mei Shumo stopped in his tracks, and when he heard Toutuo's words, a look of displeasure flashed in his eyes. On the first day he joined the team, he began to disobey his own arrangements, and he probably won't be obedient in the future either.
It is an unstable factor!
He thought for a moment, looked at Jieyun Toutuo, and said:
"Jieyun Tutuo, I have thought about this matter myself. We have not made a random decision to set off in three days. There are still supplies that are not fully prepared. They are crucial to the trip. If you don't agree, we can terminate the contract now."
"No, I was just talking nonsense."
Toutuo laughed and did not mention this matter again.
On the side, Lu Zhong looked at this man with thoughtful eyes.
There's something wrong with this Tutu.
As a Buddhist cultivator whose strength is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult to control his emotions. Logically speaking, this is very inappropriate.
Reasonable explanation, or something urgent;
Or, there is something wrong with yourself.
In Lu Zhong's eyes, this person's aura is somewhat disordered, but it can still be said to be stable, and it will not affect his state of mind. It is most likely the previous possibility.
"That's all, none of this has anything to do with me."
He shook his head and separated from Mei Shumo and others.
Putting the chocobo into the spirit beast bag, Lu Zhong began to wander around.
There were many shops selling food on the street, but not many of them aroused his interest.
But I still bought some and ate while walking.
For some unknown reason, he discovered at this moment that the transfer of sergeants in the city seemed to be more frequent.
From time to time, you can see a group of fully armed sergeants, holding bright swords and other weapons, hurried towards the inner city under the leadership of the foundation-building monks.
Passers-by saw it and started talking about it.
"Have you heard? It seems that there is an underworld army coming from Chaofang City."
"No, where did the news come from?"
"It's absolutely true! I also heard that people in the city seem to have infiltrated..."
There were monks standing on the street corner, talking quietly.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he thought that no wonder the inspections were so strict when he entered the city before. It turned out that there was another reason.
However, since this Beiliu Shanfang City is a commercial city, the exchanges of people must be extremely frequent, so it can be said that it is natural for it to be penetrated, and there is nothing surprising.
I saw that no one on the street looked worried.
He simply kept it in mind and continued strolling along the street.
Passing by a bookstore, Lu Zhong's heart moved and he thought:
My understanding of the world of Xiaoling is basically based on conversations with others, which will be a bit biased. In fact, the right choice is to buy some historical records to have a relatively comprehensive understanding of this world.
So Lu Zhong walked in.
The bookstore is not small, and it can be opened along the street, so it is obviously very strong.
Standing at the door of the bookstore, you can see at a glance dozens of rows of large bookshelves with various labels on them, divided into categories of heavenly stems and earthly branches, from astronomy and geography, to biography and history, to hundreds of classics, and even Buddhist scriptures.
For sale, it can be said that there is a complete range.
Of course, there are no Kung Fu books for sale here.
After all, it's just an ordinary bookstore.
After a while, footsteps came from the side. It was a young man with red lips and white teeth. He was wearing decent clothes. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he still greeted customers skillfully when he saw them entering the store:
"Master Immortal, what do you need?"
Lu Zhong had already planned this.
He told the required books, and after some searching, he finally selected a book called "Xiao Ling Huan Quan", which can be called an encyclopedia. It was compiled by a monk in the integration period. The book has a total of 108 volumes, which is suitable for him to understand Xiao Ling.
The situation in the world.
By the way, I also bought a simplified picture of Zhang Xizhou.
A total of ten spirit stones are spent.
I have to say, mortal things are cheap.
Lu Zhong came out of the bookstore, looked around and saw a tea stall, so he walked over and ordered a pot of spiritual wine called "Long Yuxiang" and a few dishes of side dishes to go with the wine.
Just sipping wine and reading a book.
"A Brief Introduction to the Complete Book of Xiao Ling Huan" is worthy of being written by the Overhaul of the Integration Period. The opening chapter gives a very detailed geographical introduction to Xiao Ling Huan, which is far more detailed than his mere insinuations.
Xizhou is surrounded by the sea and has a unique location. There is only one storm channel for entry and exit. The area is 5 million miles away, with outstanding people and a population of 50 million. The west is mostly plains and hills, dry and less rainy. The east is undulating with mountains and four distinct seasons.
There are many disasters caused by natural winds; in the middle there is the Xichan Mountains, which runs across the north and south, and the Duobao Yaoling Mine is the origin of the Xizhou Spiritual Vein; in the north there is Linghuan Peak, and in the south there is Tianqian Pass, both of which are male passes, isolating the east and west, and Zixia Linghuan
The two sects divided the west and the east, and from then on the Jingwei line was clearly divided and they could not invade each other.
The Dongzhou chapter is equally detailed.
Compared with Xizhou, Dongzhou has a vast territory, spanning more than 20 million miles from north to south, and the geographical environment is naturally more complex. There are as many as five large-scale Void Refining Sects such as Zixia and Linghuan on it.
There are as many as thirty-seven other small forces of the Soul Transformation Nascent Soul dotted here and there.
Different from Xizhou, Dongzhou has always suffered from foreign aggression.
As a race that broke through the world, the human race is highly hostile in the world of Xiaolinghuan.
Dongzhou's biggest enemies come from the two continents, North and South, facing each other across the sea.
According to the records of the book, Beihan Continent is a place where hundreds of tribes are entrenched. Hundreds of tribes are the indigenous creatures in this world. They are all derived from monsters and beasts. They look like humans but not humans. They all cultivate the blood of their ancestors. The strongest ones are no less than the great cultivators of Lianxu.
Later, due to the prosperity of the Immortal Way, after losing many battles tens of thousands of years ago, he was driven out of the East and West Continents by the human race. He has been trying hard to regain his homeland.
Nanchun Continent, one of the four continents in Xiaoling World, is a hiding place for the remnants of heretics, including corpses, demons, witches and other heretics. They have formed an alliance of evil forces - the "Evil Dao Society", and they have always coveted the land of Dongzhou.
He has launched several invasions across the sea, but although his intentions were thwarted, his evil intentions remain unchanged.
Seeing this, a doubt in Lu Zhong's mind was solved.
That is, Xizhou was invaded by Huangquan. Why didn’t the powerful Dongzhou lend a helping hand?
Mostly because they are too busy to take care of themselves.
If you think about it, you will know that now that the power of monks is weakening, the role that high-level monks can play is definitely not as good as before. Therefore, quantity can overwhelm quality.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There are many conflicts within the human race, and they are often at odds with each other, making it difficult to truly unite. Faced with the invasion of evil aliens, they are most likely to watch the fire from the other side.
To put it simply, the human race in this world is in danger of destruction.
Lu Zhong didn't feel much about this.
He is just an outsider and does not have much sense of belonging to the world of Xiaoling.
In fact, Lu Zhong has been thinking about trying to leave this small world and go to the Linghuan world, which is said to be vast and boundless, with an area ten thousand times larger than the small Linghuan world, and can accommodate the existence of monks in the tribulation period.
Turning to the back, the author mentioned the method of leaving.
It is a cross-border teleportation array.
The construction time of this formation is unknown. It was built by the first batch of monks who came to this world. It is the most convenient way to travel to and from the spirit world besides crossing the void.
It is located on the top of Dongzhou Shengdao Mountain and is guarded by Shengdao Sect. As for how to use it, the author did not mention it in the book.
"It seems that after the trip to the Yaksha Wasteland, we have to find a way out of Xizhou and go to the Holy Dao Mountain. However, there is no rush in this matter. After all, the cross-border teleportation array cannot be used casually by the god-transforming monks." Lu
Zhong drank a glass of spiritual wine, looked out the window at the night scene with the lights on, and thought to himself.
Suddenly, an explosion came from outside the house, causing the private room to tremble slightly.
Lu Zhong was slightly startled and turned his gaze to the place where the sound came from.
"It's towards the inner city."
What happened over there?
After a while, more explosions came from the city!
The fire lit up half the sky.
At the same time, the Beiliu Mountain suspended in the sky suddenly emitted a beam of light that shot into the sky, and a huge shield rose up, like a giant upside-down bowl, covering the entire Beiliu Mountain City, and there was a deafening clang.
The bell rang nine times in a row.
As soon as the bell rang out, the people on the street who were still confused at first changed their colors immediately.
"No, the spiritual bell has sounded the alarm!"
"Nine bells!"
someone shouted.
Lu Zhong frowned and left the restaurant without saying a word.
The streets that were bustling with lights just now were now sparse with people. In the direction leading to the inner city, at the huge city gate, under the light as bright as day, there was a black crowd with frightened faces pouring out. Many of them
His body was all stained with blood.
Something even more surprising happened later.
With a rumble, the huge door slid out from the tracks on both sides and began to close slowly!
You know, there are still a large number of people crowded at the city gate. If the door, which is several feet thick, is closed at this moment, at least hundreds of people will be pinched into meat patties. Not to mention, the resulting stampede and other incidents will definitely cause panic.
crowds, causing greater casualties.
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
"Fellow Daoist Chen!"
Lu Zhong turned around and saw that it was the white-faced boy Li Yingshi.
The two of them came together and looked at the tragedy in the direction of the city gate. They both frowned slightly. Lu Zhong withdrew his gaze from a distance and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Li, what happened in the city?"
"I don't know the specifics. It seems that corpse cultivators from Huangquan Dao have sneaked in." Li Yingshi said.
"Corpse cultivator?"
"Corpse cultivators are good at spreading corpse poison. Once mortals are infected with this poison, they will turn into irrational zombies. This is a common trick of Huangquan Dao. Whenever a war is about to start, corpse cultivators will be sent to sneak into the city first.
Cause riots and contain the power of the monks guarding the city." Li Yingshi explained.
After saying that, he reacted and said curiously:
"It's strange that Fellow Daoist Chen doesn't know about corpse cultivation?"
"That's right." Lu Zhong admitted generously.
"Are those two fellow Taoists Chen and Li ahead?"
Just as Li Yingshi was about to ask more questions, a female voice came from behind the two of them, but it was the female nun Honggu who had also arrived. However, unlike the two men whose clothes were clean, she was covered in blood at the moment.
It looked like he had just cut a bloody trail.
"Fellow Daoist Hong, what are you doing?" Lu Zhong said.
"Alas, a zombie wave broke out in the inner city. I just came out from there." Hong Gu sighed and spattered the blood on her body before continuing: "You two, I'm afraid our plan has to change! When I came here just now,
I accidentally heard the news that Beiliu Shanfang City has been surrounded by Huang Quan's army."
"Surrounded!" Li Yingshi looked strange.
Lu Zhong looked solemn.
Because at this moment he suddenly remembered Jieyun Tutuo's abnormal behavior during the day.
"Does this person know anything?"
Just as he was thinking about it, Hong Gu, who couldn't help sighing, said to Lu Zhong and Li Yingshi: "You two, I think we should go to Xianyuan Inn now?"
"I have no objection, what about you, Fellow Daoist Chen?"
"No problem!" Lu Zhong nodded.
Just as the three of them gathered together and walked towards the Xianyuan Inn, the atmosphere in a silver hall on Beiliu Mountain was extremely solemn. The leader was an old Taoist in gray who had just received a series of unfavorable news. At this moment, his face was clouded.
, as if a volcano is about to erupt.
Suddenly, someone came in from outside the hall,
But it was a monk wearing black armor, leaving a series of blood-stained footprints along the way. He did not look at the other people in the hall, but pointed at the old Taoist at the head of the hall, cupped his hands and said:
"Reporting to the Great Elder, the riots in the inner city have now been suppressed, and the corpse cultivators who caused the riots have been killed on the spot!"
"Humph!" The old man in gray snorted coldly.
He moved his gaze to the crowd and scolded in a cold voice: "What do you all do for food? It's just that you were sneaked in by the corpse cultivator, but it actually caused such a big commotion. If it weren't for the Xuanjia Guards that I brought, it happened to be
In the city, I am afraid that Beiliu Shanfang City will be destroyed at the hands of you bunch of losers!"
Beiliu Shanfang City is extremely important to Linghuan Sect.
Its function is like a nail inserted in the heart, which can always threaten the rear of the Huangquan Army and prevent the Linghuan Sect Mountain Gate in the north from encountering a frontal attack by the Huangquan Army.
So there is no room for error!
But now...
After venting his anger, the old man calmed down quickly.
As a late-stage god-transformation monk, he naturally knows the priorities of things and said calmly:
"The sect will determine the specific responsibilities later, and I will not hold you accountable now. Now that the riot in the inner city has been resolved, what we have to do is to try to rescue Beiliu Mountain to avoid being unable to respond to the north. Now, move
Use your pig brains and think about it, is there a suitable way to solve the problem?"
According to proven intelligence, the Huangquan Army surrounding Beiliu Shanfang City totaled 300,000 in number.
It was three times as many as the defenders of Fang City.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
But it was the master of Beiliu Shanfang who stood up at this time.
"Great Elder, I think it's time to recruit monks in the city. Especially the mercenary guild. There are at least ten thousand people available there, which can just alleviate the shortage of troops. The strength of the mercenaries is not bad. If we can recruit both, we can
It is said that there are 50,000 combatable soldiers, and we can even use this to go out of the city to fight!"
When it comes to the understanding of Beiliu Shanfang City, this owner is naturally unparalleled.
"That's all we can do. Go and recruit those scattered forces and organize them into an army alone. The key positions will be held by Xuanjia Guards. If there are people with outstanding strength among the mercenaries, they can also be entrusted with important tasks. Now it's urgent.
Obey the authority, as long as you can obey the command." The old man in gray gave the order.
"Yes, Great Elder!" The middle-aged Beiliu Shanfang Master breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The most difficult level was probably passed. As long as he performed well in the future, he might not be able to make up for his mistakes.
Of course, the premise is that the method he proposed must be effective.
