uncle

Now that Fuyao is gone, and his saber is useless, Chen Cang has no choice but to walk to Mount Chu on his own legs...

After roughly estimating the distance from Luoxia Palace to Chu Mountain, Chen Cang even wanted to give up. With such a distance, the old and the new factions might have finished fighting by the time he got there.

I have no choice but to find a place nearby and find a usable sword first.Chen Cang remembered that there were several large towns in the area under the jurisdiction of Luoxia Palace, both monks and ordinary people. There were many monks in the city doing business, maybe they could buy a sword——Chen Cang didn’t dare to count on himself To be as lucky as Kang Ling, to get a peerless knife in one night's sleep.

This walk took a full five days.Originally, it only took a moment to control Fuyao, but it was really difficult for Chen Cang.On the road, a group of bandits blocked the road and robbed them. Chen Cang had no weapons to use, so he killed them with his bare hands.In the end, I also feel that my boxing skills are not bad, maybe I can find a mortal town to be a master.

The name of this city is Ulan City, and Chen Cang visited it once when he was a child, so it was about ten years ago.At this time, the appearance of the city was far from Chen Cang's thin memory. Chen Cang found out after asking someone. At this time, all the monk business in Wulan City was taken over by the Wu family. You can go to the store under the Wu family name to buy it.

Chen Cang frowned: "In such a big city, how come there is only one monk business?"

The monks have never been short of money. Their business is highly profitable, and there are not a few people who want to get a share of it. It is a bit strange that they can be monopolized by one family.

The person being questioned sneered: "Why? Brother, which mountain did you come down from?"

"..."

The man said again: "Who is behind the Wu family? That's Huanglongguan's! Who dares to mess with it!"

Huanglongguan... the name sounds a bit indescribable.This sect is also one of the typical representatives of the new sect. It is indeed not too far from here. Chen Cang can walk there in about ten days.This sect acts in a high-profile way, interfering in human power wantonly, and seems to have many links with the royal families of many countries.

To be so arrogant?It's so close to Luoxia Palace, and it's so publicized, it's hard to tell what's going on outside.According to Wang Zhiframe's statement, this is undoubtedly grabbing the territory of Luoxia Palace and obstructing Luoxia Palace's eyes.

"Oh, actually, Ulan City wasn't like this," the man sighed, "It's all because of that little uncle in Luoxia Palace, who used to boast that he was the No. Ling. With his loss, he lost Ulan City."

The little uncle of Luoxia Palace... If I guessed correctly, he should be referring to himself. Chen Cang looked a little weird, but he still understood what this person meant.In the past, Zongmen Dabi was just one of the ways of communication between Zongmen, to show their own strength and so on.But since the emergence of the new faction, the meaning of this contest has changed.outside the game.There are also bets on something, and the winning party can get some benefits.

Chen Cang had heard about it, but he hadn't had a deep understanding of it. His mission had always been to win the Grand Competition.Now it seems that the interest competition behind this sect competition is quite serious?

But these have nothing to do with Chen Cang, he was only slightly surprised in his heart.After asking about the location of Wu's shop, Chen Cang just wanted to buy a sword earlier and go on the road.

The Wu family's shops have a lot of categories, some only sell weapons, some specialize in pills, and some sell talisman paper.Chen Cang found the nearest shop selling weapons. There was a word "Wu" hanging on the door of the shop, and a dragon howling with its mouth open was engraved on the door next to it. The scale seemed quite large.

When Chen Cang entered, the first floor was bustling with people. He glanced around and saw that the sales on the first floor were basically ordinary weapons.Although there are many swords, they are all entry-level, and they cannot fly with swords at all.In addition, looking at the prices... The prices of the items sold by the Wu family, which occupies a monopoly position, are naturally not too friendly... Chen Cang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he saw these things with high prices.

A young man next to him saw Chen Cang's small movements with sharp eyes, and leaned over and said angrily, "Are these fellow Taoists also dissatisfied?"

Chen Cang was taken aback, he didn't expect someone to ask him this, so he didn't speak rashly.

The young man continued to complain: "Huanglong Guan deceives people too much. These things are bought by low-level casual cultivators, but there are so many casual cultivators with plenty of money, it is almost impossible for people to survive."

Chen Cang rubbed his nose and said, "It's not necessarily true."

"Heh, except for casual cultivators, mortals will be attracted to them. The disciples of the real big sect have countless supplies. Who needs this? Huanglongguan, no, these practices of the new sect are undoubtedly a disguised form of cutting off casual cultivators. Luzi, suppress casual cultivators."

Chen Cang's heart skipped a beat, he had never thought of what this young man said before, but now that he heard it, he actually felt that it made sense.It is not easy for casual cultivators to practice, and these weapon pills are also a problem for them. If the new faction intends to raise the price, it will indeed cause some troubles for casual cultivators.

"The new sect... do they all do this now?" Chen Cang asked.

The young man looked at Chen Cang in amazement, and blurted out: "Which mountain did you come down from? You have been in seclusion for too long!"

"..." Chen Cang: "No, I came out of the desert."

The young man didn't study Chen Cang's words carefully, and it was rare to meet someone who didn't understand anything. All the hidden tongue factors in his body were mobilized, and he took Chen Cang's hand and began to say: "I tell you, you When walking in the inner three states, you must remember one thing—don’t offend the new sects, hey, do you know which sects are the new sects? I can sell you a detailed list at a low price..."

Chen Cang looked at the young man's hand, and the corners of his eyes hurt a little. He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back, and pulled his hand out.Although the movement had slowed down, the young man was still stunned.

Just as Chen Cang wanted to make amends and explain a few words, the young man quickly explained it himself: "Haha, I was negligent, fellow daoists, don't take offense."

Now that the other party has already said so, Chen Cang has no need to make amends, so he continued the topic just now: "You said just now, don't mess with people from the new sect, why is that?"

"Now the inner three states are completely dominated by the new faction. They are domineering, arrogant, and domineering, and they are in the fish and meat town! If anyone messes with any of them, that person will be on the new faction's blacklist. Not only all The affiliated stores don’t do business with you, and they will make things difficult for you in various ways. In the lightest cases, you will see each other and hit you once, but in serious cases... I’m afraid you won’t even know how they died! The new sect is already in trouble!”

Chen Cang: "..."

The description of this young man is really incredible.

"If that's the case, those old cultivation sects won't stand by." Chen Cang hinted at the young man, his words were too exaggerated.

The young man sneered, and his tone was very disdainful: "Those of the old school who can hold on to their territory are considered good. After so many people died this time, they didn't dare to say anything, and they can go to the Lonely Dragon Palace to show their prestige."

It is also a "dead person" and a "lone duck palace". The young man is most likely referring to the matter of Wang Shu.But this incident was committed by Wang Shu, even if the Lone Dragon Palace has close contacts with the New School, it can't be regarded as the New School's head...

The young man thought of Chen Cang's setting of "just leaving the desert without knowing anything", and recounted the matter of Wang Shu very thoughtfully, adding some guesswork, and then said: "This matter is absolutely inseparable from the new sect. Otherwise, how could Wang Shu arrest so many people quietly by himself, many of them are seniors, and more importantly, all those captured by Wang Shu were from the old sect, not a single one from the new sect! "

Chen Cang wanted to roll his eyes, but he really had nothing to say and could not refute.

Suppressing his desire to complain, Chen Cang said: "Thank you fellow daoist for clarifying my doubts, it opened my eyes."

"Small meaning, small meaning," the young man said with a smile on his face, "Since you already know how disgusting the new school is, you should not dare to buy their things now."

Chen Cang suddenly became enlightened, and finally understood why this young man had to talk so much.

Sure enough, the young man continued: "I know there is a good and cheap place to buy it. We casual cultivators have to be careful in our lives, don't donate money to the new sect!"

Oh, it turned out to be a black market.The black | market is an underground market composed of merchants who have no sect support behind them and have not received unified approval from the cultivation world.The biggest problem with buying things on the black | market is that there is no guarantee. It is difficult for ordinary people to judge the authenticity of the goods, and it is impossible to know whether there are any hidden dangers in the things they buy.

Chen Cang had heard before that someone bought a magic weapon at a low price on the black market, but that magic weapon was actually belonging to a disciple of a certain sect, and was robbed and forcibly erased, and then found on the black market. I was taken advantage of and sold.The result can be imagined, it was naturally found by the original owner, and even his life was lost.However, there are indeed some people who succeed in picking up leaks and earn ten thousand with one.

Naturally, Chen Cang would not fail to distinguish between good and bad, and his own strength is also sufficient.But he has fully realized that his fate is shallow, and he doesn't expect any chance for him at all, so he just quietly and quietly bought an ordinary sword and rolled it to Chushan Mountain quickly.

"No, I'm just looking around, I don't have anything I want to buy." Chen Cang declined politely.

"Why not?" The young man obviously didn't believe it. "Do you think I'm a liar? I told you kindly because of your ignorance."

Simple ignorance?Chen Cang lamented again that this young man's vocabulary is incredible, "I really don't need to buy anything."

"Not to mention, you are wandering outside, it is inevitable that there is a meaning, you always have to prepare some medicinal materials for self-cultivation, right? Just in case, this money can't be saved!"

This... is really unnecessary.Although Luoxia Palace took back everything that was given to him, Kang Ling gave him a bottle of "God's Blessing" before leaving.

In Chen Cang's previous life, most people were respectful and courteous to him, so he really didn't know how to get rid of this young man in this situation.

While thinking hard, a harsh voice suddenly came from behind Chen Cang: "It's you again! I warned you last time, come and hit me once!"

Hearing this, the young man's complexion changed drastically in an instant, he ran away regardless of his legs, and had no intention of saying anything to Chen Cang at all.

Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw a middle-aged man holding an account book, followed by two young men with sticks, probably the managers here.

The steward came to Chen Cang and put on a smiling face, "What does the priest want to see?"

"Swords, ordinary ones are fine."

"Come with me, I'll arrange a personal introduction for you."

Chen Cang just wanted to say no, but on second thought, why not take a look along, Chen Cang is also a little curious about the new business: "Then there is trouble."

The steward smiled at Chen Cang, respectfully led the way, and asked Chen Cang to follow him up to the third floor.

The third floor is much deserted and elegantly decorated, only a dozen or so swords are displayed.Chen Cang could tell at a glance that these swords were not comparable to those on the first floor. Although they could not be called precious swords, they could still reach the level used by disciples of Luoxia Palace.

And there are a dozen more, it is not easy for a merchant to have such a collection.

"Please feel free, Taoist priest, the person who introduced you will come soon." The steward said respectfully, and then retreated directly.

Chen Cang felt a little weird... Even if the steward thinks that he is a fool with a lot of money and is a rich man, it is not enough to leave him here alone. Isn't he afraid that he will run away with a sword?

Maybe there is a special method, these swords cannot be taken out of the store without permission?I can only guess like this.

Chen Cang walked to the nearest sword and stopped to observe it. The color of this sword was a bit dark, probably because some special materials were added during refining.There is no introduction below, and the specific situation cannot be seen.

"This sword is called [Nong Ying], and it was made by Fangran, the master metalsmith in the early days. The blade is light and thin, and it is extremely smooth to wield."

Chen Cang was about to stretch out his hand to touch the sword, but he was stunned when he heard a voice, and he didn't even take his hand back.This voice was extremely familiar, and it was less than ten days since they separated.Chen Cang couldn't believe it. After all, Kang Ling should have returned to Chushan, and Chushan was so far away from here, it was impossible for him to appear here.

Chen Cang froze in place, not daring to turn his head.Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible, the voice was so similar that it made him unavoidably look forward to it.

"Little Martial Uncle," said the man, with a helpless voice, "But if we don't see each other for a few days, will Little Martial Uncle recognize me?"

"Kang Ling..." Chen Cang finally turned around, his eyes were empty, and he asked in a daze, "Why are you here?"

"Little Master Uncle, is this asking me why I appeared so quickly or why I came here?"

"All."

"Okay," Kang Ling shrugged, and explained patiently: "First of all, during the year we were trapped, the new faction had some moves, well, you might not know it yet. They tried to use a special Formation, establish a connection between two places, and you can travel through thousands of mountains and rivers in a short period of time, without the need to work hard to control the sword."

"This...can be done?"

"Of course it is possible. If it wasn't for this, how could my little uncle see me here?" Kang Ling raised his eyebrows.

This formation was somewhat beyond Chen Cang's imagination.

"As for the second one, I have three things to do here." Kang Ling lowered his gaze slightly, following Chen Cang's gaze, "But now, one has been completed."
