Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 18: Moxiangfang City
Moxiang Town is just an ordinary town for mortals. Because it is close to Moxiang Mountain, some farmers and mountain people from nearby will rest here when they go hunting and picking Moxiang tea. Over time, this small village with less than a hundred people gradually developed into the famous Moxiang Mountain.
Mountain town.
The town is not big, but there are all kinds of restaurants and inns, making it quite prosperous.
It is said that people rely on mountains to eat and water to eat. Most of the mountain hunters in the town will go to Moxiang Mountain to hunt some wild animals and pick some Moxiang tea. Some merchants who come to purchase tea products and furs gather here, and some even stay here permanently.
, specialize in acquiring these things.
Kong Laosan and the others found an inn to stay and ate some food. When it was dawn the next day, the two of them walked towards the depths of Moxiang Mountain.
After about half an hour, the two climbed over a steep mountain, and what they saw was a valley filled with clouds and mist. The surrounding rock walls were rugged, making it difficult for birds to cross. Ordinary mortals could not reach this place.
In addition to the two people, there were more than a dozen people waiting quietly around. These people either crossed their arms or sat cross-legged in meditation. They had no communication with each other and were even vaguely wary of each other.
When they saw Kong Laosan and the others arriving, they only glanced at them for a few times and stopped paying attention. Beside them, Yu Hongzhi explained in a low voice, "Moxiangshan City is different from other cities. It opens at a fixed time every day. These people
Like us, everyone wants to enter the market and trade!”
Hearing this, Kong Laosan nodded secretly.
About half an hour later, as the surrounding fog rolled up and spread rapidly to both sides, a narrow path suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Follow me and don't rush in. There are some restrictions around. With our strength, if we accidentally enter them, our lives may be in danger!"
Yu Hongzhi confessed with a serious look on his face, and took the lead to walk towards the inside of the trail. Kong Laosan looked around and saw that no one else showed any strange expressions, so he followed in with confidence.
After half a stick of incense, my eyes suddenly opened up. At the same time, a burst of noise, like the cries of market vendors, flooded into my ears. Kong Laosan glanced around and was surprised to find that he was in a town at the moment, with people flowing around him.
There are countless hawkers setting up stalls on the spot selling something, no different from ordinary market markets.
"Hey, this is the market in Moxiang Mountain. Remember, don't cause trouble here. Brother, I still have some things to deal with, so let's part ways here for a while. We'll see you at the Wanfu Restaurant here in seven days!
"
Yu Hongzhi narrowed his eyes, the folds on his face trembled and said, his voice fell and he disappeared into the crowd.
When Kong Laosan saw this, he thought for a moment and started wandering around.
This is the first time that Kong Laosan has seen so many cultivators. He needs to clarify some things about the world of immortality first, so he is not in a hurry. He stops and stops along the way, silently listening to the bargaining sounds of the vendors around him.
, I gradually remembered some common sense about the world of immortality.
It was not until the evening that Kong Laosan found an inn to stay. The inn here was no different from the secular world, except that the money used was not gold and silver, but spiritual stones.
The so-called spiritual stone is a kind of jade that contains the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Kong Laosan collected some from evil people at the beginning, plus some that he had previously traded with Yu Hongzhi, and he had nearly thirty pieces in his hand. For ordinary Qi refining,
For a monk, this is a huge sum of money.
Since most of the monks who come here are not high in cultivation and are only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi refining at most, not many are willing to spend a spirit stone to stay in an inn. Most of them just find a place to meditate for a night.
Arriving at the inn, Kong Laosan asked for a guest room and stayed there.
At dawn the next day, Kong Laosan went out again. Just like yesterday, he was still wandering around, looking at things to buy. This was the case for three consecutive days.
On the fourth day, Kong Laosan got up early. This time Kong Laosan did not wander around aimlessly. He relied on tricks to disguise himself as a middle-aged man, put on a black robe, and
Wearing a bamboo hat to cover his face, he walked directly towards the center of the city, a shop covering a large area.
"Qingling Pavilion?! I don't know what the relationship between this place and Qingling Gate is!"
Looking at the only three golden characters on the plaque, Kong Laosan murmured.
The attic in front of him occupies a large area, with a hexagon shape and three floors. There are countless people coming and going. Kong Laosan entered it with the flow of people. Suddenly, a cool aroma rushed towards him. He took a breath and felt comfortable all over.
There is everything in the shop, from a piece of the lowest-level talisman to some large spiritual weapons that can only be used by high-level Qi refiners. It is somewhat similar to a grocery store in the world. There are some wooden counters placed around it. The entire shop
It is supported by three huge pillars, which are densely covered with runes. They should be engraved with some kind of formation or the like.
Kong Laosan did not hesitate, and after entering the store, he walked directly towards one of the counters with a smaller number of people.
"Fellow Taoist, do you need any help?"
In front of the counter, a 13-14-year-old boy asked. The boy in front of him had red lips and white teeth, and he looked very handsome. After feeling it for a moment, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Kong Laosan's scorched face. The boy was not old, and his whole body was full of blood.
The aura he exhaled was a bit more powerful than his own, at least at the fourth level of Qi refining, which made Kong Laosan secretly surprised.
"Do you collect pills here?"
Kong Laosan didn't talk nonsense, pretending to be a middle-aged man.
In his previous life, he was on the move, and he was already familiar with all kinds of techniques. Disguise was one of them. His skills were even better than those of the famous international makeup artists. Although Kong Laosan didn't know what the art of disguise was.
Whether it was useful to these cultivators, Kong Laosan could only make do with it before he learned the spell to change his appearance.
As for the value of the elixir, Kong Laosan has found out clearly in the past few days. Although there are not many elixirs on his body, it is still a huge sum of money for a monk in the Qi refining period. With Kong Laosan's cautious character, it is natural
You won't be unprepared.
"Elixir?!"
Hearing these two words, the young man's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and he looked Kong Laosan up and down, "Of course I will charge this, but I don't know what kind of elixir it is, and how many are there in total?"
"I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say this here, right?"
Kong Laosan glanced around and said with a slight smile. At this moment, some monks who were close to him looked at Kong Laosan one by one after Kong Laosan said the elixir, and they all showed interest.
"Haha, I didn't think well, fellow Taoist, just follow me!"
As the young man said this, he left the counter and headed towards the second floor. Kong Laosan saw this and followed closely behind.
The second floor was obviously quieter. In addition to some counters, there were many accommodations around. However, these accommodations seemed to be covered by a thin layer of water curtain. It should be some kind of restriction. The young man walked to an accommodation and walked from
He took out a small hexagonal order from his waist and pressed it gently towards the groove next to the Accord. The water curtain in front of him swayed slightly and disappeared without a trace.
"Fellow Taoist, wait here for a moment, I'll go find Elder Wang and come over!"
The young man made an "invite" gesture, and after Kong Laosan entered, the young man went directly to a side room on the second floor.
The Accord is not big, about half the size of a room, and is slightly dim. The walls are inlaid with four or five luminous beads that are priceless in the world, each the size of an adult's fist. There are some unknown herbs placed around it, and in the middle
There was a mahogany coffee table. Kong Laosan was not polite. He looked around for a long time and sat down.
After a moment, as the surroundings of the Accord fluctuated, an old man with a rosy complexion walked into the Accord. He was slightly startled when he saw Kong Laosan, who was covered from head to toe, but then he reacted and showed a kind smile.
smile.
"My surname is Wang. I heard that you have elixirs for sale? There are restrictions and barriers here to ensure safety. If you have any elixirs, why don't you bring them out and let me identify them?"
After the old man finished speaking, Kong Laosan didn't hesitate. He took out dozens of bottles from his arms and put them in front of the old man. "There are two kinds of elixirs here. Old sir, please take a look first!"
Under the black robe, Kong Laosan said in a slightly hoarse voice.
