Fairy cage

After Yu Lie arrived at Fuxing City, he did not go to Qingwazi and others immediately. He didn't even leave the house and stayed in the Sang family's shop to observe the situation.

For a month and a half, the Sang family's shop business became more and more prosperous, and there were more and more customers coming and going, but there were no idlers waiting to cause trouble for Yu Lie.

This gave him a slight sigh of relief.

Others have already arrived in Fuxing City, and the black hands who are secretly looking for him have not taken action now. Either because of the rules in Fuxing City, it is not convenient to take action, or they are temporarily unable to free up their hands.

No matter which one it is, this is a good thing for Yu Lie.

So it was noon that day.

Yu Liejing was very thoughtful and finally opened the door to go out for a walk.

Sang Yutang has been waiting outside his door recently, helping with some of the things Yu Li asked for, such as buying maps of Fuxing City, going to the shops to inquire about news, releasing some news to the outside world, etc.

After stepping forward to exchange a few words with Yu Lie, the woman learned that Yu Lie planned to contact an old acquaintance, and immediately led the way to where Qingwazi and others were.

But Yu Lie stopped her and said:

"Since the people of Qianzhou Dao Palace are living a good life now, it is not convenient for Pindao to come forward and disturb them, so as not to bring new troubles.

Today, go here. "

Yu Lie waved his hand, and a map condensed with zhenqi appeared in front of him. The lines on it changed, revealing a location in the west corner of Fuxing City.

This place is called Mud Alley in the city. It is where the Taoists from the bottom of Fuxing City live. The environment is cramped, dark and damp.

But if this place is the lowest level area in Fuxing City, then it is not. Because those who can live and hang out in Mud Alley are at least seventh-grade Taoist priests, and there are also many people who have been promoted to Foundation-building Taoist priests.

Compared with the real lower-level areas, the Taoists in Mud Lane are still single-family households after all, and even have their own storefronts to facilitate doing some business. It is just that the feng shui is not good and the environment is poor.

These realms are often visited by Taoist priests from other places after they arrive in Fuxing City.

The place to buy your first property. Its area is not small. Although it is called an alley, it occupies a large corner of the southwest.

When Sang Yutang learned that Yu Lie was going to Mud Alley, he paused for a moment, but did not raise any questions. He immediately took the spirit beast from the shop and showed Yu Lie the way.

soon.

With Sang Yutang as a guide, Yu Lie came to a bunch of rough stone houses. These stone houses were all mottled as if they had been burned by fire. The environment was indeed a bit rough. It was the same as when he first entered Qianzhou Daocheng. The sights seen were very similar.

When people walk in it, it is difficult to see the sky, and they feel as if they are just a little ant in the jungle of buildings.

It can even be said that the environment in Mud Alley is worse than the bottom of Qianzhou Daocheng.

Because there is no spiritual energy here!

But this is not just the case in Mud Alley. Yu Lie has learned in recent days that in such a big disaster star city, except for the spiritual veins built and cultivated by the various buildings and shops, the city does not provide spiritual energy.

All the Taoists living in Fuxing City never expected to be able to practice directly through the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth. They could only rely on pills, spiritual stones and other items.

Not only does Fuxing City not provide spiritual energy, but on the contrary, it also absorbs the spiritual energy that Taoists emit in daily life, especially the spiritual energy that Taoists return to heaven and earth when they die on the fighting altar, into the city. As a resource for maintaining thousands of fighting magic altars.

Squeak.

Yu Lie soon arrived at the door of a small courtyard in Mud Lane. The door was not closed, but only slightly opened.

After he pushed the door open and entered, he looked up and saw a small plaque with four words engraved on it:

"Blackwater Pharmacy."

It's just that there is no smell of medicinal stones in this pharmacy, and there are no medicinal flowers or plants in the courtyard. The walls and floors are all bare. On the contrary, the bricks and stones are covered with cutting marks, as if there had been a fierce fight, and More than one game.

With his eyes closed, Yu Lie could still detect the residual energy that made his hair stand up from those marks, as if the fight had just ended.

At this moment, a cold voice came from the depths of the pharmacy:

"What kind of work and what time? Just leave a note and I will go and solve it after I finish practicing."

This voice didn't belong to Heishuizi at first glance. It was quite young and a woman.

What surprised Yu Lie even more was that the other party's voice sounded familiar to him. After thinking about it for a moment, he had a guess about this person's identity.

Yu Lie paused, stood under the plaque, cupped his hands and shouted:

"Pindao, I'm not here for business today, it's just a visit from an old friend."

A soft cry suddenly sounded from the depths of the pharmacy.

The next moment, a black line flashed in front of Yu Lie, and a tall figure appeared on the steps. The opponent was a human body, not a monster body, but more than ten feet tall, standing in front of Yu Lie. , is truly a giant.

Sang Yutang, who followed Yu Lie in, raised his eyes to look at the other party, and his eyelids could not help but twitch.

Because although the man in the hall is tall, his body proportions are not bad, in fact he is very hot.

Her legs are slender, and her waist is not bulky compared to her whole body. It is narrow but strong. Her black hair falls from behind her, like flowing ink.

If there was anything about the person who came here that was extraordinary, it was that his chest was really thick, which caught the eyes of the rest of the people standing in front of the steps.

A voice of surprise and disbelief sounded from the other party's mouth:

"Brother Yu, Yu?!"

When Yu Lie heard the call, he looked away and recognized the other person's face.

Although this person's appearance was very similar to what he remembered, Yu Lie still hesitated and said:

"Are you a fellow railroader?"

The tall female Taoist who walked out of the Black Water Pharmacy was the same Tie Jianlan who had joined the Qianzhou Taoist Palace in the same batch as Yu Lie.

After many years, this woman appeared in the Disaster Territory. Her cultivation had already reached the foundation level, and she was still staying in the Black Water Pharmacy. This really surprised Yu Lie.

But he soon remembered what Zi Zhuzi had told him. He had already sent his followers to the Disaster Territory and got in touch with Heishuizi.

The Taoist used to contact Heishuizi seemed to be the person who tried Zi Zhuzi's method.

"It seems that Tie Jianlan is the one who tests the master's skills. No wonder she also builds the foundation, and her Taoism is not shallow." Yu Lie thought to himself.

Seeing that Yu Lie still recognized her, Tie Jianlan showed a warm smile on her cold face.

She immediately opened her hand and invited him: "As expected, an old friend came to visit. Brother Yu and that Taoist friend came in to talk."

This woman's smile was quite beautiful, with a brightness that was unfamiliar to Yu Lie. However, she was more than ten feet tall. No matter how beautiful her smile was, it still fell in the eyes of Yu Lie and Sang Yutang. It feels a little weird.

This is because among cultivators, almost all Taoists can transform into huge monster bodies due to various worldly skills or spiritual roots, such as Yu Lie's soaring snake body.

But usually, Taoists maintain their stature within a normal human range, neither too tall nor too short, and they regard the pure human form as their beauty.

If Tie Jianlan appeared in an inhuman state, Yu Lie and Sang Yutang wouldn't find it weird. However, since the opponent was humanoid and too huge, it looked weird to them.

Soon, the three of them were sitting cross-legged in the pharmacy.

Tie Jianlan seemed to notice the surprise in Yu Lie's eyes, she smiled softly and said:

"We haven't seen him for many years. Tie's appearance has changed drastically, but Brother Yu's appearance is still the same as before, he is still a young man."

After a few short words, Tie Jianlan revealed that her current body shape changes were related to the bloodline of her ancestors. It was not because she had gone wrong in her cultivation and could not shrink back.

Yu Lie nodded to express his understanding.

But now he looks like a young man who cares about his age. Opposite him is a beautiful female Taoist priest who is more than ten feet tall. The two of them are old friends, sitting cross-legged across each other with only a low table separated.

Every time Yu Lie spoke, he had to look up at the other person.

This always reminded him of his experience when he was young, being scolded by the female elders of the clan, but could only sit cross-legged and listen quietly.

Fortunately, after some pleasantries, the conversation between the two got down to business.

Yu Lie looked around the interior of the simple pharmacy, Shen frowned and said:

"I came here rashly today because I heard that the Blackwater Pharmacy was still there, but the pharmacy owner was missing, so I came here specifically to look for clues. But now that the railway fellows are still here, Yu asked directly.

Do fellow Taoists know the whereabouts of Taoist Master Heishuizi? "

He raised his head and looked up at the other person with bright eyes.

Hearing this, Tie Jianlan didn't show sadness or frown on her face. She just glanced hesitantly at Sang Yutang next to her, took a sip of tea, signaled Yu Lie with her eyes, and asked the female Taoist if she could Believe it or not.

Before Yu Lie could say anything, the words came from their ears:

"It's rare for you two to meet again, but I still have things to take care of in my shop, so I left first."

Sang Yutang spoke, bowed apologetically, and walked out of the hospital.

Yu Lie hesitated for a moment, but he just stood up and walked away for a few steps, without leaving Sang Yutang behind.

Heishuizi was his uncle and the benefactor who taught him in the barren mountain town. It was related to his whereabouts and safety, and the fewer people knew about it, the better.

If Sang Yutang doesn't resign on his own, Yu Lie will also use excuses to drive him away.

When only Tie Jianlan and Yu Lie were left in the pharmacy, Tie Jianlan raised his hand and raised the formations on the left and right sides of the pharmacy, causing the light in the room to dim a lot.

A chuckle sounded from the female Taoist mouth:

"Brother Yu is really blessed. When you and I were just Taoist disciples, Brother Yu had two beauties accompanying him in the palace.

Now in the troubled domain, with such a beautiful woman at his side, Brother Yu is living a much better life than that old man Heishuizi. "

When Yu Lie heard the teasing, he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

After all, according to the information he collected, the reason why Heishuizi has been in a bad situation and disappeared in recent years is that he is most likely implicated.

Yu Lie didn't know for a moment whether the other party was just joking or if he meant something.

Fortunately, after Tie Jianlan made a joke, her voice returned to seriousness.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

She looked at Yu Lie seriously, with piercing eyes, and said: "Brother Yu, you came just in time. If you hadn't come, Tie would really not know who to find to rescue that old guy together." .

Although there are people from Qianzhou Dao Palace in Wuxing City, you also know the relationship between your lineage and the people in Qianzhou Dao Palace today..."

Yu Lie understood that what this woman was talking about was Qingwazi and others.

Although he personally has some trust in Qingwazi and others, in the eyes of Heishuizi and Tie Jianlan, it is completely different.

Yu Lie said solemnly: "Railway friends, please tell me frankly, what kind of trouble did Master Heishuizi encounter?"

Suddenly, a shadow covered Yu Lie's entire body, and it was Tie Jianlan who stood up.

The female path was pacing, thinking about something.

Yu Lie sat cross-legged in front of the low table upright, with only the huge figure next to him shaking.

This scene made him look more like a child being scolded by his elders.

Tie Jianlan organized her words: "How long has Brother Yu been in Fuxing City? Do you know what has happened in the city in recent years?"

Yu Lie replied: "I have only been here for half a month. Although I have inquired about some gossip, I have not heard any big news."

"Since Taoist friend doesn't know, Tie will introduce it to you."

Immediately, Tie Jianlan wielded her magic power, and a mirage-like image of Wuxing City appeared on the low table. She pointed at the entire Wuxing City and said:

"Just five years ago, there was a strange movement in Fuxing City. At that time, the whole city shook, as if it collapsed, and all the fighting altars in the city had spiritual light gushing out, and streams of spiritual energy flew out from them. It seemed that every fighting altar Underneath it is a superior spiritual vein.

This situation lasted for five days and five nights before it stopped. This is the first time in ten thousand years that in the entire City of Wuxing, no one has died or a fight has occurred for five consecutive days. "

This woman talked eloquently:

"Ordinary Taoists think that this is because Fuxing City has swallowed too much of everyone's spiritual energy, and finally it was full, and it was a rare moment of vomiting.

However, if a knowledgeable person inquires or studies carefully, he will know that thousands of years ago, there were thousands of spiritual energy eruptions in the city. The situation was almost exactly the same as what happened five years ago, except that the number of days it lasted was different.

And what's under those fighting altars is not a single spiritual vein, but a huge fragment of the world, or in other words, a secret realm! "

"Secret Realm of Misfortune Star City?" Yu Lie was stunned for a moment.

It is said that before he flew to the Disaster Territory, Zi Zhuzi never told him that there was such a huge secret realm in the Disaster Territory.

After Yu Lie digested it for a moment, he spoke out: "Is it possible that the railway fellow is trying to say that Taoist Master Heishuizi is trapped in the secret realm under the city?"

Tie Jianlan nodded seriously: "Ran Ye!"
