Longevity begins with loose cultivation

Chapter 106 Changle Square

When he got near the gate of the city, Lu Zhong found an excuse to get off the car.

Walking to the gate of the city alone, he saw a long queue at the gate in front of him. After asking, he found out that if he wanted to enter Yongling City, he would not only have to pay an entrance fee of ten talismans per person, but also had to go through After some inspection by the law enforcement team, they were able to enter.

The team is divided into two lines: mortals and monks. Needless to say, the line of mortals entering the city has a long line of vehicles of various sizes. According to the slow creeping speed, they may not be able to enter the city after waiting for an hour; the line of monks is different. Not only is the queue much shorter, but there are also more monks in the law enforcement team for inspection. It is estimated that they can enter the city in less than half a quarter of an hour.

After paying the entry fee, Lu Zhong also joined the queue.

After a while, it will be his turn.

The person in charge of the inspection was a monk with a horse face. There was a faint flash of light in this person's eyes. It was obvious that he was using the breath-watching technique, and the so-called inspection was to check the breath of the monks entering the city.

"Fellow Daoist, please run the exercises and accept the inspection."

After seeing Lu Zhong's general cultivation base, the horse-faced monk's tone suddenly softened a lot. It was not as blunt as it was to the previous few early-stage qi refining monks, and there was a lot of politeness in his words.

"Well, pure fairy spirit power, fellow daoists can go in."

Lu Zhong nodded, received his merit and continued to move forward, walking into the dark city gate in front of him.

The inside of the city gate is pitch black, but fortunately there are two rows of luminous stones as guides, so that people will not go the wrong way.

As soon as he entered, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the top of his head, and an inexplicable fear emerged. He subconsciously pinched the road to detect malice, but there was no feedback in his heart.

At this time, Lu Zhong looked up and found that there were stars above his head.

With the help of the monk's powerful dark eyesight, he could clearly see the true colors of these starbursts, which impressively represented giant arrows engraved with magic circles. From the aura fluctuations emanating from above, he could sense that the power of each giant arrow could only I am afraid that they are all equivalent to magic weapons.

"With so many huge arrows shot, I'm afraid that in the later stage of Qi refining, you will be on the spot?"

Sensing a line of sight falling on him in the dark, Lu Zhong hurriedly lowered his head not daring to look any further, lest he be misunderstood by the person in the dark, and hurried out of the city gate.

As soon as it came out, the concentration of aura suddenly increased.

The neon lights shone, dyeing his face with a gorgeous color.

The sounds of hawking and bargaining mixed with the sound of the rolling wheels of the beast carts were intertwined and transmitted to Lu Zhong's ears. After the night fell, Yongling City became more and more energetic.

The street stretches straight to the distance, and beyond the colorful light boards, it is the central area of ​​Yongling City, which is brightly lit like daytime. From time to time, there will be a flash of light flying by at a high speed, showing the extraordinaryness of the central area everywhere.

After a few more glances, Lu Zhongcai looked away, planning to find a place to rest first.

Counting the time, it's almost midnight now, if he doesn't find a place to stay, I'm afraid he will really sleep on the street.

As for renting a house, we need to inquire about it tomorrow.

Walking along the crowded street for a while, probably because of wearing cassocks, many beautiful and beautiful Xiu Xiu at the side of the road all cast winking eyes at Lu Zhong.

"Come on brother, I only need...five spirit stones for one night!"

The voices of this group of wandering warblers are sweet and crisp, just listening to them makes one's bones go limp.

After hearing this, Lu Zhong took a wild breath, thinking to himself that these wandering orioles in Yongling City might not come from the Hehuan Sect?It is estimated that if I accidentally sink in, I am afraid that the bone marrow will be sucked dry before I can get out.

Don't dare to provoke, dare not provoke!

Quickly quickened his pace, so as not to get in the way of these "witches".

Unexpectedly, just after leaving the wolf's den, he entered the tiger's den.

Ahead were dozens of restaurants of various sizes. The aroma of spiritual food wafted into the air. The glutton in his stomach was tempted to move by one after another spiritual food. Finally, he took out a full eleven spiritual stones to "suppress". Just passed through this dangerous place in a thrilling manner.

After walking for a while, Lu Zhong finally found a suitable target.

"Dengling Inn, sounds good."

Stepping in, a beautiful clerk greeted her immediately, and said with a smile on her face: "This fellow Taoist wants to stay, we still have a spare room here, the room has a gathering spirit formation, now here The [-]% discount is only three spirit stones, do you need me to check in for fellow Taoists?"

Gathering array?This inn is really high-end.

Lu Zhongben was a little curious about the effect of the spirit-gathering array, but then he thought that he was just staying overnight, and it seemed that he didn't need to live in such an expensive room, so he shook his head and said, "No need, just give me an ordinary room."

Although I don't know the price of Yongling City, this kind of big city can be known without thinking, and it is definitely not easy to live in.

Thinking that there are many places where spirit stones will be used in the future, he can naturally save one now and count as one.

"Okay, ordinary room, right..." The clerk who failed to sell, still had a smile on his face, but it was more and more false and formulaic, "An ordinary room is a spirit stone for one night. I wonder how long you need to stay?"

"One night." Lu Zhong handed out a spirit stone.

After a while, he got a square token with a number on it.

"Lu Lingqi..."

Following the guidance of the sign, Lu Zhong quickly found his room, input a burst of spiritual power into the token in his hand, and the door immediately responded, and opened after a burst of spiritual light.

Entering inside, as he expected, no matter the walls, doors and windows, they all have the effect of blocking the qi-watching technique.

"Living in this kind of place, it seems that privacy can be guaranteed a lot."

After taking a bath, I took off my clothes and took a light sleep, and the night passed quickly.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Zhong went out.

Before going out, he asked the clerk that Yongling City is similar to Yanlingshanfang City, and there is also a shop and house affairs that is responsible for all rental matters. Every Fang that has houses for rent will have such a place.

"Don't be in a hurry to rent a house, wait until you know more about the situation in the city."

With this purpose in mind, Lu Zhong began to ask around.

Fortunately, there are quite a few monks with his purpose, so that there are such books for sale in the city.

The price is also cheap, even the one with the most complete content, which has an extremely detailed introduction to Yongling City, can be bought for only fifteen talismans.

Finding a spiritual food stall, Lu Zhong ordered a spiritual fish noodle and looked at it while eating.

Skipping over the irrelevant parts, he quickly turned to the introduction to the various regions of Yongling City, and learned that the city is divided into five major regions, the southeast, the northwest, and the functions of each part are different.

The most prosperous area is the central area. The function of this area is equivalent to the shop street in Yanlingshanfang City. There are a large number of shops here, whether you want to buy pills, magic tools, or various rare spiritual objects. , coming here is definitely the best choice.

The central area is a good place for shopping, but it is not suitable for renting a house here. Although the concentration of spiritual energy here is the highest in the city, the price of renting a house is also the highest.

Then there are the east and west areas. The two areas are gathering areas of various workshops. The west area has been built for a long time, and there are various large-scale workshops with strong strength, not only for alchemy and refining equipment, but also for making various types of equipment. Compared with the beast cart and flying boat, the East District is much inferior. There are not many workshops in it, and they are basically small handicraft workshops.

Whether it is the West District or the East District, there are a lot of houses that can be rented, but the people who live here are low-level casual cultivators and a larger number of mortals. At the same time, the concentration of spiritual energy in the two places is also the lowest, so it is obviously not ideal for renting a house. Place.

As for the North District, it is the outer gate of the Heling Sect, which is not open to the public.

At the end, Lu Zhong found that he only had Nancheng as his choice.

The area of ​​Nancheng is not small, with a total of thirty-six workshops, Miaoyinfang where Lan Yuming lives is one of them.

There are corresponding rough introductions about the workshops in Nancheng in the book.

After some consideration, Lu Zhong finally set his goal on Changlefang.

The law and order in Changlefang is relatively good, and the year the house was built is relatively new. More importantly, there are a large number of houses that can be rented with a Yongling Ling, and he just happens to be eligible to rent them.

Lu Zhong compared the map and found that he was currently near the South Gate, at least several miles away from Changlefang.

After thinking about it, he stopped a beast cart.

Unlike the wilderness, there is an air-forbidden magic circle in Yongling City, and it is also expressly forbidden for monks to use lightness techniques, or use various magic tools to move quickly on the streets, so as not to cause huge damage in the city.

It is precisely because of such rules that there are public beast vehicles that are convenient for traveling in the city.

What Lu Zhong stopped was a small animal cart, and the cost would be much more expensive than a large animal cart. The advantage is that it can be used by one person alone.

After explaining where he was going, the coachman patted the hairless pack animal that looked like a pig and a deer, and the latter made a "humming" sound, then started to move its hooves.

Compared with the running speed of a monk, the speed of the beast cart is not fast, it is similar to the running speed of a horse.

A quarter of an hour later, the animal cart arrived at its destination.

After getting out of the car and giving the money, Lu Zhong found that a shop next to the shop was already full of people.

"A total of six lives, these demon cultivators are really ruthless!" A black-faced strong man said with a look of shock and anger.

At this moment, someone pulled him and reminded him in a low voice: "Shh, keep your voice down, you are not afraid of being found by the devil in the middle of the night, aren't you?"

Hearing this, the black-faced burly man showed horror, and immediately kept silent.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhong couldn't help being surprised, secretly thinking that there is actually a demon cultivator in this mediocre city?

After listening to the whispers in the crowd for a while, he found that, just as he had guessed, there was a group of demon cultivators lurking beneath the peaceful city of Yongling.

"No wonder Yongling City is so strict in entering the city, is it because of this reason?" Lu Zhong thought to himself.

Yongling City claims to have a population of one million. Although this number should be mixed with water, we can also know the specific size of the city. If there are magic cultivators in the city, it is really not easy to find out.

The difficulty can already be described as finding a needle in a haystack.

It's just that Lu Zhong couldn't figure out why Moxiu, who was shouted and beaten by everyone, would deliberately infiltrate Yongling City and commit murder openly. Such behavior was not in line with common sense.

In comparison, those walled cities outside are the best targets.

Whether it's for the living soul or the flesh and blood for cultivating magic arts, there are plenty of mortals in the city that can satisfy them.

He didn't think too much about it, Lu Zhong only regarded it as some demon cultivator who dared to commit crimes under the noses of the law enforcement team of Lingcheng.

With some demon cultivators in a state of insanity, it would not be surprising to do such a thing.

Shaking his head and walking into the shop, he explained his reason for coming.

"Fellow Daoist wants to rent a room? That's really great, come and sit here." Hearing that someone wanted to rent a room, a red-haired female nun in the store's housekeeping service was full of smiles, poured tea courteously, and then clapped her hands and said: " I almost forgot to ask! I don’t know how many mediocre orders you have now, if you don’t have this order, you won’t be able to rent a house.”

"Only one." Lu Zhong said as he showed the token.

Seeing the mediocre order, the red-haired female cultivator smiled even more, and said: "One is enough, the houses here are not as good as Miaoyinfang, they are all ordinary small courtyards."

Take out an album, which shows the houses that are currently vacant in Changlefang.

The red-haired female cultivator casually opened a page, pointed to the house type on it, and said with a smile: "What kind of house type do you want, I can help you choose, or let me recommend it."

"Then please recommend it." Lu Zhong thought for a while and said.

Looking outside the door, he happened to be able to see the corpses covered with white cloth on the ground. For some reason, the law enforcement team never showed up, so that no one took away the bodies of the six people.

"What's going on in the city now, in broad daylight, there are demon cultivators killing people?"

When the red-haired female cultivator heard this, she looked a little unnatural, looked at Lu Zhong more, and said: "Yes, I heard that the demon cultivator sneaked in and killed a lot of people, and I don't know what they want to do." .”

"...Fellow Daoist, what do you think of this set? Facing north and south, the area is still the limit of a mediocre order. It is half an acre in size, and it is also adjacent to the river. It is also very convenient for laundry and water. The most important thing is , this house only needs three spirit stones for one month."

And there is such a good thing as a pie in the sky?

Lu Zhong couldn't believe it, after all, it was too cheap.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

He secretly pinched the road to detect maliciousness, and a strong warning was immediately fed back in his heart,
"Is it because of renting a house, or..."

At this moment, the six corpses covered with white cloth appeared in Lu Zhong's mind, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No way?
Could it be that he took the initiative to deliver the door?
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the red-haired female cultivator. Lu Zhong used the qi-watching technique this time, but everything in his vision was normal, and he didn't see the magic energy overflowing from her body.

"It's weird..."

Seeing this result, Lu Zhong couldn't help doubting his own judgment just now.

In the end, he didn't choose the one recommended by the red-haired nun, but chose a small yard that was more to his liking. It was also by the river, and the building area was only slightly smaller.

After paying the rent for the first year, the key to the small courtyard was handed over to Lu Zhong.

When Lu Zhong left, the red-haired female cultivator looked at the body that was going away, and the corner of her mouth inadvertently grinned, revealing her tongue dripping from her saliva, bending and deforming like a snake, protruding into the air.

"It's so fragrant, so fragrant and meaty..."
