Xi Fangping appeared in the lace of red sun, which attracted the attention of red sun bees. Crowds of red sun bees flew to Xi Fangping’s side, surrounded him, and kept dancing in a figure of eight, expressing their joy in their hearts. Even the queen bee, who was so fat that she could hardly fly and stayed in the hive for most of the time to lay eggs, struggled to fly out of the hive and stopped on Xi Fangping’s head, constantly touching Xi Fangping’s head with her tentacles.
At this time, the hive is dozens of times larger than usual, and almost all the exposed parts of the pike are covered. Xi Fangping gently opened the hive and found the center of the hive. In the center, there are at least 30 drops of royal bee pulp besides a large number of red bee pulp and hundreds of larvae. Xi Fangping took out a jade bottle, carefully packed the jade bee pulp, and then took out the remaining 19 bottles, which were filled with red bee pulp, before closing the hive again.
It seems that the reproduction rate of red bees is too fast, and this hive will be unable to support the increasing number of bees. It took Xi Fangping two hours to build three more beehives with those scrap metal. If all goes well, when he comes back, it may be that the red bee has successfully divided its nest, and he will have more royal bee pulp and red bee pulp to eat. Although the function of Chiyang bee pulp is not as good as that of Jade Bee pulp, it is also a rare tonic for people who fix truth. If you eat it often, it will be beneficial to cultivation. The reason why Xi Fangping has so much red bee pulp is to prepare it for daily consumption after going out.
Xi Fangping revealed the gods’ knowledge, and called all the red-yang bees that had reached the fifth floor to his side. After careful identification, he called 88 red-yang bees into his belt. These eighty-eight red bees all have seven layers of air-entraining cultivation, and their age is the largest among red bees. It is estimated that they will soon be in Shou Yuan, and it is unlikely that they will be cultivated again. It is better to take them with them, and they can also play a role in saving lives. As for the queen bee and other red bees, let them breed in this Hunyuan cave. When Hunyuanzong comes back next time, maybe he can organize an army of red bees by Xi Fangping.
When Xi Fangping came out again, it was just night outside, dark and opaque. Xi Fangping didn’t immediately offer a small flying sword, but stayed at the edge of the pool to have a rest, so as to adapt to the aura of the outside world, and secondly, it’s better to see if there are any other monks eyeing himself. Until dawn the next day, there was no movement now, and Xi Fangping left the pool safely.
It’s also a night trip. This time, Xi Fangping’s cultivation has reached seven layers of air-entraining, which is about twice as fast as when he first came. He can fly up and down 80 miles in an hour, and it took only five days to fly to the edge of Tianchi City. Xi Fangping didn’t enter the city, but turned directly to the east and flew away in the distance according to the advice of the little monk who sold him seeds. It took him another three days to finally arrive outside Cloud Gate. Cloud Gate City is just a small city with a population of tens of thousands, which is quite inconspicuous among many cities in the State of Wu. Many people in the State of Wu simply don’t know where Cloud Gate City is.
However, Cloud Gate City is well-known in the field of fixing truth. About a hundred miles away from Yunmen City is Yunmen Mountain, where Yunmen River, one of the top ten sects, is located. More than 500 miles in Fiona Fang, Yunmen Mountain, the mountains are full of fog all day long. Moreover, the fog is highly toxic. If mortals enter, they will feel weak and dizzy in less than a quarter of an hour. If they don’t quit in time, they will die in an hour.
Only the monks know that this poisonous fog was made by the high-ranking monks of Yunmen River, in order to prevent people from hitting the mountain gate of Yunmen River by mistake. This kind of poisonous fog is fatal to mortals, but it has no effect on monks. At that time, the little monk who had only two layers of cultivation would not have walked to the entrance of the mountain generously.
When he came to the outside of the dense fog array in Yunmen Mountain, Xi Fangping stopped. He could have directly stepped on the flying sword to fly over the dense fog, but Xi Fangping knew something about the situation of the fix true boundary. Many famous schools have their own taboos. In particular, they don’t like monks swaggering into the mountain gate with flying swords. If you are a monk in the period of Dan-knot or Yuan-baby, it’s good to say that the masters usually turn a blind eye and ignore it. If you are a monk in the period of gas condensation or air bleeding, maybe the people guarding the mountain gate will come out to interfere.
Although the fog is thick, the monks’ eyes are much better than ordinary people. This little obstacle will not affect at all. Xi Fangping wandered around the foot of the mountain for a long time and finally found a seemingly desolate path. This path should be trodden by low-order monks who are eager for convenience. As for the serious avenue, Xi Fangping didn’t find it, and he forgot to ask the little monk who sold seeds at that time.
After walking five or six miles along the path, Xi Fangping brightened up at the moment, and all the dense fog was scattered as if it had never appeared. This dense fog array is really designed for mortals. A mortal, no matter how strong he is, can’t walk five or six miles in the dense fog unless you take some pills dedicated to detoxification.
After two or three miles, Xi Fangping finally saw a road paved with bluestones, which was as wide as ten feet. The bluestone road is very clean, and even moss is not seen in several places. Obviously, there are many people walking this road, and people clean it every day. After all, it’s a noble school, although it’s only at the bottom of the next five schools, but its momentum is far from being comparable to that of other schools that fix the truth.
Go straight along Qingshi Road. After walking for about ten miles, Xi Fangping finally arrived at his destination. What appears in front of us is a small town that looks fairly prosperous. The town is not big, there is only one street, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk from beginning to end. On both sides of the street, there are quite a few shops, hotels, hotels and selling groceries, which seem to be no different from other towns. The only thing that can distinguish this town from the outside town is the twenty or thirty repair shops on both sides of the street. You know, in a mortal town, it is impossible to have these shops that serve monks.
The streets in the town are quite wide, at least forty or fifty feet, which makes the street look like a square instead of a street. This is probably the characteristics of towns that rely on the survival of major sects. If there are many monks coming, there may be conflicts. Once there is a violent conflict between monks, the scope of fighting required is much larger than that of ordinary people. This street is probably designed for monks to solve personal grievances.

Chapter 23 Cloud Gate Town
At the end of the town, there is a square square with two miles on each side. Around the square, dozens of tall trees are planted, which makes the square look quite beautiful. Facing the street of the town, there is an archway with a height of more than ten feet. In the middle of the archway, there are three golden words: "Yunmenjian", which can be seen from a distance. I don’t know what material the archway is made of, and there is a faint aura. XiFangPing see out, this archway is certainly not simple, maybe it is a part of the HuShan array. It is recorded in ancient books that most schools of Xiuzhen will set up one or two defense arrays at the archway. Firstly, this is the need of defense, and secondly, it is also a way to show the strength of the schools. It is quite normal for the major schools of the fix true world to compare with each other.
Below the archway, there are more than a dozen monks holding instruments and wearing standard clothes, who are constantly walking up and down, prohibiting idle people from approaching the archway. Look at those people, with their heads held high and their heads held high. I can see that they are quite satisfied and proud to be the gatekeepers of Yunmenjian. Also, people are well-known, and the doormen all have about ten layers of air-entraining skills, but not anyone who wants to be one can be one.
Xi Fangping looked at the square, and now in a corner of the square, there are dozens of monks around, looking at something and talking noisily. Out of curiosity, Xi Fangping also walked over and squeezed into the crowd. It turned out that there was a notice posted there, which said that the apprentice gathering would be held in 20 days, and the way used was the same as before, with a single defeat and elimination match. In order to control the number of applicants, Yunmenjian will collect 20 pieces of stone from each monk who fights for the fight as the cost of holding the fight.
Xi Fangping secretly scolded in his heart, what nonsense fix true sects? It looks like people who use the tournament to recruit relatives or recruit workers in the secular world and earn some extra money at the same time. The abacus is so refined. The monks came to fight, because they took a fancy to your Yunmenjian’s position in the fix-true world. If you choose it, they will have to do odd jobs for you and work for you. Now it’s good to charge us.
Scold to scold, XiFangPing also helpless. People under the eaves have to bow their heads. Moreover, Yunmenjian will scare away a considerable number of scattered repairs, but it can effectively control the number of people who beat the drums. You know, there are 700,000 to 800,000 scattered practices in Wu alone, and among them, the qualified monks are at least counted as 100,000. If we don’t control them, when will we have to fight? It is estimated that not only Yunmenjian, but also other sects will do the same, but they are not so open and generous.
However, Yunmenjian did this, but it brought some trouble to Xi Fangping. Xi Fangping basically spent all the lingshi he got from selling herbs last time, leaving only ten lingshi on hand, which is not enough to pay the fee. Moreover, the apprentice meeting will be held in 20 days. During these 20 days, Xi Fangping can only casually find an inn to stay in the town, which also costs money. It seems that he has to think of some ways to get Lingshi.
After calculation, there is nothing in the storage bag except mace, ten pieces of inferior lingshi, two pieces of intermediate low-order wind-escaping symbols, a few pieces of change clothes, five or six thousand two hundred pieces of silver and some dry food that has not been eaten in Hunyuanzong. There is something inside the belt. Besides 19 bottles of red bee pulp and one bottle of jade bee pulp, there are about 100 red sun flowers, which were picked in Tianchi last time. At the Taolin Fair, Xi Fangping only won ten flowers to sell, and there were about one hundred left, which he kept in his belt. These red flowers are far from the red flowers planted in Hunyuan Sect in terms of size and efficacy. However, it is much better than the red sun flowers planted by the major sects themselves. Someone should want it. Anyway, these red flowers are of no use to themselves now, so it is better to take them out and exchange them for some lingshi to pay.
After wandering around in the street, Xi Fangping walked into an obscure small hotel. He had to find a place to take out the red flowers in his belt, but he couldn’t take something out of his belt in public. It was a death wish. When he walked into the hotel, Xi Fangping was surprised to find that the people who run this hotel are not imaginary low-order monks, even the shopkeeper and the man are real mortals. How can there be mortals outside the mountain gate of the Xiuzhen Sect? How do these mortals get through the dense fog? Xi Fangping is puzzled.
After choosing the most remote room, Xi Fangping stopped the shop assistant and asked about it. It turns out that there are more than 3,000 monks in Yunmenjian, among them, more than 80% of them will never enter the gas condensation period. Some monks are quite persistent in becoming immortals. Even though they are close to the limit of Shou Yuan, they still stay in Yunmen River and cling to that glimmer of hope. However, many monks don’t think so. They just left Yunmenjian to enjoy the secular life. After getting married and having children, these people often take their children outside Yunmenjian, hoping to use the aura here to let their children also embark on the road of cultivating truth. Over time, outside Yunmen River, there appeared a small town where mortals and monks lived together, and even the number of mortals was far more than that of monks.
The children of these former disciples thrived outside Yunmen Stream and opened various shops to provide services for the monks. This town is called Yunmen Town, and 90% of the shops in the town are run by ordinary people. Only those shops, shopkeepers and shop assistants who sell things to fix the truth are serious monks, and some shops even have ambiguous relations with high-ranking monks in Yunmenjian. As for how to get through the dense fog array, it is actually quite simple. There is a place in the town that sells poison-avoiding pills. After taking it, you can easily get through the dense fog array.
Hearing this, Xi Fangping felt a little sad in his heart. The road to fix the truth is extremely difficult, but the monks advance wave after wave, even if they can’t achieve their goals, they must find ways to let their descendants achieve their goals. Is immortality so important that it is worth giving up everything to pursue?
Xi Fangping lived for more than 17,000 years, and his idea of immortality was completely different from that of monks. In his view, doing what you should do is the most important thing. In fact, Xi Fangping missed staying with Master, which was calm, dull and even a little boring. However, he was in a good mood and didn’t want anything, just concentrate on his own life. It’s different now. Although life is much more exciting than before, it’s not as comfortable as before. You should be careful every step, for fear of making a mistake and losing everything.
Xi Fangping doesn’t like this kind of life, but he has no choice. He must find the axe that opened the sky, and the gang with the golden snake embroidered on the storage bag. He must give an account to Master and Wang Lei and other brothers. If these things are not done and he lives with guilt all day, then even if he can live for millions of years, what’s the use?
Under the guidance of the bartender, Xi Fangping came to his room, freshened up first, and then closed all the doors and windows. Only then did he take out nearly a hundred red flowers from his belt, and at the same time, he also took out a jade bottle filled with red bee pulp, and washed it with water for a few drops. Although the efficacy of red bee pulp is far less than that of jade bee pulp, it is a rare tonic for monks, especially for low-order monks. Taking it all the year round will not only strengthen the body, but also be of great benefit to cultivation. However, in the fix true world, swarms of red bees are rare, where you can drink red bee pulp as water.
After packing, Xi Fangping walked out of the hotel. After wandering around the town for a while, he walked into a repair shop that looked quite luxurious. This shop is really big enough, occupying seven or eight pavements. The plaque outside is beautifully written and plated with gold, which is particularly imposing.
When I walked in, Xi Fang was flat, and there were about ten shop assistants in it, and all of them had the strength to bleed two or three layers. Although such a man of strength is nothing in the eyes of monks, it can be seen that the patron of this repair shop is quite hard.
The store is very big, divided into several parts, selling instruments, pills, herbs, talismans and so on, and everything. As long as you have a stone, they can get you anything you want. There are two or three guys watching each part. Look at those guys, one by one, their eyes are above the top, some are chatting, some are drinking tea, and some are simply closing their eyes to recuperate.
Feeling that someone came in, all the shop assistants looked up and then went on with their business in disappointment. Also, what Xi Fangping is wearing is a bit shabby and strong. Although there is a storage bag hanging around his waist, although it is ridiculously handsome, these numerous shop assistants can see that he is a poor man. A poor man, no matter how handsome he looks, even if he is several stories taller than them, he is also a poor man and will not get the respect of these guys.
After a while, an older man came over and greeted him faintly: "What do Daoyou want to buy? Is it an instrument, an elixir or a talisman? "
Xi Fangping shook his head: "This Taoist friend, I don’t want to buy anything. I saw that there are herbal medicines hanging outside your shop, so I came in to have a look."
When I heard that it was just a casual practice selling herbs, the man’s face became more indifferent, and he was another guy selling herbs in exchange for the registration fee. These days, they have to receive many monks like Xi Fangping every day. With his face facing the outside, the man said impatiently, "Daoyou, what herbs do you want to sell?"
Xi Fangping naturally knew what this guy meant, and he didn’t want to dispute with such people. He also said flatly, "Chiyanghua."
Chiyanghua is a real staple goods in the fix-true world, and almost all the larger sects will plant it. As soon as he heard that it was a red sun flower, the man could scrape off a layer of frost on his face: "One stone and two flowers, without adding a cent."
"Oh," Xi Fangping took out the red sun flower from the storage bag: "How much is the wild red sun flower worth?"
"Wild?" That guy was stunned. These days, wild red flowers are quite rare, and the reason is quite simple. The number of red bees is decreasing. It is difficult to plant wild red flowers without the help of red bees: "Let me see."
The man took the red sun flower, looked at it carefully and said, "It’s really a wild red sun flower, and it’s honey-collected by red sun bees. It’s a first-class product." Tell you what, one stone at a time, we’ll take as much as you have. "
