Chapter 238 How can you become stupid

The two of them came to a restaurant not far from the talisman shop, found a secluded restaurant, went to the second floor private room, ordered a few spiritual meals, and waited for the waiter to exit, the silent barrier of the private room opened, Yun Duo ordered the spiritual meal on the table, and said politely as the owner:

"Try it, we produce various spiritual tools for spiritual meals here. The spiritual meals made from them are equivalent to spiritual pills for monks... Well, this is mainly because I like the way of eating and think that eating pills is worse than eating spiritual meals. Therefore, all cities within the sphere of influence of Moyunling also like to use the way of eating and replenish spiritual energy.

You can try it, Jieyinfu is the most well-preserved city, and the spiritual meals are of good quality and the taste is wonderful. You can come to Jieyinfu for a rare trip. This time I treat you, please try it."

The monks on the opposite side rolled their eyes again: What do you like to eat? You just say that you are delicious. After building the foundation, you still refuse to let go of your desire. The monks who are not interested in taking pills, and even if they build the foundation, they will eat spiritual meals as usual...

Don’t say that all cities within the Moyunling sphere of influence have good business in restaurants of all sizes. With the spirit stone furnace as a tool, even a mortal can develop a whole set of their own tricks in making spiritual meals. This makes mortals have an extra income and can hunt low-level monsters for a living. Or open a spirit restaurant, and you will make more money.

Picking up a piece of spiritual meat, closing your eyes, and slowly savoring the spiritual energy contained in the meat slices. At this time, he heard Yun Duo's slow whisper: "I'll treat you to dinner, not for anything else, but I want to ask, I'm very curious, why don't you go to Moyunling to trade, but come to Jieyin Mansion.

It is said that your base is deep in the forest near Moyun Ridge. I have the strictest control over Moyun Ridge, and the law of Moyun Ridge is the most determined. When you arrive at Moyun Ridge, even if you know that you are from the Demon Sect, no one will cause trouble.

But you came to Jieyin City. In this way, you have to cross Moyun Ridge, Shangying Town, Jieyang City, and travel thousands of miles to Jieyin Palace, and you don’t think it’s both troublesome and time-consuming to do this?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he was silent for a moment, and the other party slowly said something seemingly insignificant: "The sky has risen, and the sky has just risen."

Yun Duo nodded and immediately responded: "I understand."

The other party suddenly widened his eyes: "You understand, you understand now, how could you understand?"

Yun Duo replied calmly: "That's to say: Someone inside you has warned you to not go to Moyunling to trade easily. Because the sky has just risen, everyone is not used to this isolation situation. After a few years, everyone knows that they are far away from the human world and now they have to fight alone in the forest of monsters, so that they can try to accept your demon sect and even try to accept the situation of coexistence with monsters.

Yes, the Demon Sect is the target of various sects’ shouting and killing. The monks of various sects have been inculcated since childhood that you are our great hatred for life and death, and your hatred for you is even more unforgettable than for monsters. Now, although your Demon Sect has a large number, you have never had contact with the secular world. You hope that the human world can accept you, at least not treat you as enemies.

Because you value this kind of desire too much, you do not want your actions to be excessive. You hope to take action with gentle wind and drizzle and eventually live in peace with the mortal world.

Well, I have understood your intentions, please rest assured that I do not feel that you are competing with me for the power of the mortal world. On the contrary, I appreciate the measures you have taken now, and I hope you can continue to do so.

This time you go back and tell me the person who is in charge of things for me, and tell him a sentence: the bigger the basin, the more water it contains, and the grabbing of the basin will make it easier for the basin to be broken, and no one will fall behind at that time.

So I didn't have the intention to snatch the basin from him, and I didn't think he came here to snatch the basin, but in return for me, should he take out his own basin... I want to say, do you understand?

Yes, that's what I mean. Since your people can come to me, shouldn't my people go to your place? You should also take out a city and let our people go to do business freely, right?

Of course, if you don’t want to take it out, I actually don’t force it. Someone can come to me to spend money and leave the spirit stones with me. I really appreciate this.”

If the words Yunduo said at first made the monks on the other side disagree, and even felt that the other party distributed a city to allow their family to enter and exit freely, while their nest was completely confidential to Yunduo, this approach was simply a huge advantage. But when he heard Yunduo's last words, the other party suddenly felt that he was... how could he be stupid?

Yes, the other party has opened the city and allowed the disciples of the Demon Sect to come to their own territory to shop. Wouldn't that let the disciples of the Demon Sect spend their whole life savings on the other party's territory? If this continues, the disciples of the Demon Sect will go without making any progress. Is this kind of behavior really taking advantage?

How stupid should this be to think you have taken advantage of it?

Thinking of this, the other party couldn't sit still and felt that he should go back as soon as possible and tell the person in charge about this sentence.

Yun Duo admired the other party's blue and white face for a while, and he stood up with a smile to say goodbye...

Yun Duo stayed in Jieyin Mansion for about a year. After the monster army retreated, he led the patrol team to rush back to Moyun Ridge slowly.

During this tour, Yunduo inspected all the settlements within the sphere of influence of Moyunling. With the help of this patrol, Yunduo consolidated his authority and opened a fast passage between Jieyinfu and Lanyu City, the farthest and largest settlement, which is located from him, and is also the largest settlement.

After the conventional teleportation array between Jieyinfu and Lanyubao was opened, it initially had little influence due to excessive confidentiality, but as time went by, more and more monks tacitly knew this secret.

In this way, the tentacles of Moyunling completely extend out of the area of ​​Moyunling.

The road is a chain of state.

Wherever Qin Zhidao was built, the country's territory was fixed. No matter how history changed, the territory that communicated on this road always had strong centripetal force and cohesion. The land outside Qin Zhidao, for various dynasties, has always been separated from the central control for one reason or another.

Nowadays, within the sphere of influence of Moyunling, the overpass running across the north and south were built for mortals. Of course, more monks were used by the overpass, and mortals had a faster way to travel - the mail delivery array.

After the Jieyin Mansion teleportation array was established, the monks also had a faster way to travel. For monks, riding the teleportation array seemed to be a plane trip, while the viaduct was completely a highway. For example, a highway covered with spider webs, it was closely tied with the point-to-point teleportation array, and the distance between the two was about 1,800 miles.

With a cross-border of 1,800 miles, such an area of ​​land is equivalent to a medium-sized country. Such a land area is approximately equivalent to Australia. As long as clouds can firmly protect the national chain of the viaduct, the land within the chain can at least raise 100 million mortals like Australia.

Under the means of immortals, this base will only rise. With such a large population base, it is not a problem for Moyunling to prosper for hundreds of years.

Two years after Yunduo returned to Moyun Ridge, Su Zhi had not returned from Akutagawa. Yunduo had been practicing for two years and felt that his cultivation seemed to have reached a bottleneck. Then Yunduo found that he knew too little about the world, which is what people often said, human relationships and worldly practices. He felt that he should enter the world and understand the worldly feelings more so that his cultivation could take a step forward.

It took another half a year to temper the cultivation level, and Yun Duo was unwilling to wait any longer. He summoned Biting, Ding Ling, Liu Ziqing and others to explain the administrative trivial matters, and announced: "After I conclude the golden elixir, I have never gone out to practice...

Well, since I entered the Immortal Sect, I have not gone out to practice. Now I want to go out to practice. It takes about one or two years or four or five years. During this period, you will be the subject of the matter in Moyunling. After I leave, you will immediately announce the news that I have broken through the Golden Pill, and then announce that I will be in seclusion and consolidate my cultivation, and will not show up within three or two years."

The monk was in seclusion for several years or even a hundred years for various reasons, which was a normal behavior for the monk. Therefore, Yun Duo's decision did not cause any ripples.

However, Yun Duo had to go out to practice alone, which... does not comply with the sect's regulations.

Conventionally speaking, the sect encourages monks to go out for experience, but there is no restriction: monks must go together when they go out. However, Yun Duo’s situation is special. The sect used to restrict Yun Duo from acting alone, so Su Zhi was sent to keep a close eye on him. This is mainly because... he is the furnace cauldron scheduled by the Nascent Soul monk.

Su Zhi still has not returned yet.

The sky rose on the river, and on the south bank, the original sect had cut off news from everyone. Do you still need to abide by the sect rules?

No, Yun Duo’s current prestige and...cultivation, and the monks who abandoned the forest who could still restrict Yun Duo’s actions almost existed. However, due to pure safety factors...

After taking a look, Ding Ling found that Moyunling really couldn't draw out his manpower now. The three backbone personnel taken by Su Zhi, and the backbone forces of Moyun City were reduced by one third. If the manpower was transferred, if something happened, if the previous monster siege incident happened again, Moyunling would probably not even have the power to defend.

Two years ago, Yunduo went out for a walk, and the addition of tens of thousands of new immigrants from Moyunling increased.

These new foreign immigrants mainly came to reclaim land. They were originally poor and had no sense of pots and pots. I heard that in the Moyunling area, they could obtain land that belonged to them forever through reclaim land. Naturally, they responded to the call of reclaim land without any burden and ran to the various valleys of Moyunling with their luggage.

Tens of thousands of people suddenly increased. These people needed to register the land ownership and distribute corresponding land reclamation materials. In Moyun Ridge, almost all monks and mortal officials were all alone and had to be busy without touching the ground, and could not draw any people to accompany Yunduo... Of course, the custody should not be even more thoughtful. Now, Yunduo's cultivation is no longer comparable to anyone nearby.

After repeated weighing, everyone reluctantly agreed to Yunduo’s training plan.

Five days later, Yunduo left Moyunling while the night was dark.

************

After the teleportation array between Moyun Ridge and Jieyin Mansion was opened, the range of activities of humans and monks increased greatly, and it can even be said that their home area expanded to 1,800 miles.

That’s right, here, as long as your waist bag is bulging enough, you can have breakfast in Jieyinfu, then go to work in Lanyubao Workshop, and go back to Jieyinfu to live or play in the evening. If you know how to drive a spirit stone car, you can also rent a spirit stone car on weekends, and the whole family can go on vacation or hunting nearby valleys.

New immigrants from Lanyu Castle are all resettled in nearby valleys. Monks built them in settlements in the valleys. They are a typical resort villa with beautiful houses and well preserved surrounding ecology. The viaduct directly leads to the manor entrance, which also makes it convenient for residents to come and go.

In addition, there are a few spiritual fields around the entire manor, and those spiritual fields are protected in the protective array, either blooming like flowers, or being surrounded by beautiful plants and streams, or clouds and mists cover the winding paths... Of course, they are all rich in spiritual energy without exception. Therefore, some bored people have joined the ranks of vacation.

The income of monks is much higher than that of mortals. Cultivators who have achieved success in cultivation still have a lot of time to spend. There is another more important factor for monks on vacation - they need to relax their tense heartstrings and realize more people's feelings and worldly feelings, which is also one of the factors of cultivation.

When monks take vacations, it is naturally not just to live in the residential houses. For them, it is necessary to install a spirit gathering array in their residences. Household kitchenware and bathroom utensils are the basis, and water is daily. As for alchemy and refining tools, although they have been on vacation, they cannot prevent the sudden burst of inspiration, which leads to itchy hearts and hands, so this thing must also exist.

As for the surrounding environment, monks’ requirements are naturally diverse. But the most important thing is that in order to ensure the supply of spiritual energy, monks do not like to gather together.

Therefore, the monks' villas were scattered in various valleys, and each valley accommodated at most one monk in apart. Their arrival increased the safety of the settlements and made the settlements full of spiritual environment.

In addition, in the past two years, with free travel between mortals, many spontaneous settlements have been added between cities. These settlements were originally established to maintain the viaduct, and most of them were set up near the access point of the viaduct. However, over time, the residents of these settlements found that such days were actually very good.

Although there are no other residents nearby and they are a little lonely, it also means that there are no snatchers of resources nearby. In general, with the viaduct, you can travel through the viaduct at any time to get the resources of the fairy cities in various places at any time.

With the reproduction of human beings, human social outbreaks have continued to move into settlements, slowly developing into towns, and eventually developing into small cities...

Of course, these are all later stories.

Yun Duo quietly left Moyun Ridge and did not have much impact on the development of his territory. Yun Duo also knew that the more he cared for the people, the less he would turn this concern into power interference and control. On the contrary, by adopting a completely free-range development, the people knew what they needed best.

At this time, about six years after the catastrophe, four years after the sky rises, about three years after the Miaofa left Lanyucheng, about three years after the large-scale construction of the viaduct expressway in Lanyucheng, and about two and four months after Yunduo returned from Jieyin Prefecture. At this time, Su Zhi and others had not returned from Akutagawa.

In recent years, in addition to the changes in human settlements, human communication networks and crystal card networks have spread like viruses. Even remote towns that do not belong to Moyunling have their own communication networks. The roads are paved to the entrance of the town. Anyone who has a little extra money at home has their own crystal card. Many families even have more than one crystal card. This is mainly because... the money in the crystal card is not afraid of people stealing or robbing, and it is also a credit guarantee for transactions.

Several years have passed, and the war in Lanyucheng has not subsided, but both sides have fallen into a similar state of sit-in war. The rat demon cannot rush to the defense line of the Rainbow Bridge, and humans have completely given up the area north of the Rainbow Bridge. They confront each other at both ends of the front line, and occasionally have small fights, but neither side is willing to expand and escalate the war.

The rat demons were unwilling to expand and escalate the war because of their rare reproductive ability. They suffered a great loss on the human defense line for the first time. The ordinary people on the opposite side quickly upgraded their weapons after the war and arranged a large number of weapons on the front line. No matter how dense the rat demon charges, they will give humans heads.

Then, the natural enemy of the rat demon also moved nearby.

Various animals and birds that use rats as food, spare no effort to reproduce and expand their populations due to the sufficient food in this area. With the fighting of the food chains within the monsters, humans began to add oil and firewood. Lan Yucheng suddenly increased the purchase price of rat demon pills, which was almost a loss, but Lan Yucheng was willing to pay.

A large number of monks and mortals equipped with continuous weapons boldly went deep into the forest and began to slaughter rats. The population of rats was severely affected, and the number quickly fell to the bottom and never rose again.

Of course, after the vehicle powered by demon pill was launched, the rat demon pill suddenly became valuable, and this appreciation action once again put the rat on the verge of extinction...

The above are the changes in abandoned forests in recent years.

After leaving Moyun Ridge, Yun Duo did not take a flying attitude to travel over the forest. He first used the earth escape technique to escape for 300 miles. After revealing the surface of the earth, he wiped off his breath and traces, and used the wood escape technique again. With the help of the forest trees, he quickly left.

After five consecutive escape techniques, Yun Duo had already left Moyun Ridge for 1,200 miles. He took out a simple map, checked the direction, and cast the spell again to rush to the distance.

This is near Baize City.

This place is outside the Moyunling Road Network. Since the catastrophe, no monk has come here.

It is said that Wei Qing'er's hometown is here.

After that catastrophe, Baize City was abandoned. Now six years have passed, although the city wall formed by Baize City's magic is still bright and beautiful, the outer edge of the city is dead and there is no trace of human activities.

On the contrary, in the grass and in the woods, active herbivores, rabbits, mice and snakes were everywhere, making the grass and trees make constant sounds.

Yun Duo stood on the city wall and enlarged his spiritual sense to sense it. He found that although there was no one outside the city and there were still a small number of residents in the city, these people were very alert. They hid home immediately after occasional movement and hid in the cellar in the courtyard.

Many houses in the city collapsed, so many ruins were cleared out, forming farmland and vegetable fields. Although the farmlands were scattered and very small in area, they looked very good in yield. The ears of grain were heavy, and one acre of land was harvested to support a family of three.

Yun Duo stood on the city wall for a moment. He had no desire to enter the city. He was about to turn around and glanced at a first-level Qi training man who appeared from the west area of ​​the city. It was obvious that the other party had noticed Yun Duo's peeping, which made Yun Duo unable to walk.

Yun Duo jumped off the city wall, retreated to a safe distance, patted his body, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the city gate.

The city gate of Baize City is built very majestic. The thick city gate is six meters high. The entire city gate is composed of iron and iron chestnut wood thick. This wood is very hard. Not to mention that cannons are difficult to penetrate the city gate. Even the intermediate spells bombard the city gate will not leave any traces on the wooden board.

The intact city walls and intact city gates did not block the monsters.

Yun Duo tilted his head and pretended to admire the city gate of Baize City. Suddenly, a light shot out from the city wall. This was a low-level ice-type spell. However, if a low-level Qi training cultivator was subjected to such a spell, he would probably freeze into a popsicle. But this low-level spell is nothing to Yun Duo.

Yun Duo took the spell casually, and he still stood there, shouting at the city wall: "Don't open the Mu Cang. The monks of Moyunling have been traveling here. There is no malice. Please put the Mu Cang away."

The person on the city wall shouted something. Because the latter's energy was weak, even though Yun Duo always observed the surroundings with his spiritual sense, he did not hear clearly what the other party said in amid the rumbling sound of the plants and trees.

But is this very important? Here... it is not suitable to experience the world. The small town is too small, and it is easy to be rejected by outsiders.

So, Yun Duo was too patient to tell me what he said, so he walked towards the city gate.

This time, until he walked into the city gate, there was no more shooting on the city wall.

After a while of footsteps, a sound came from the heavy city gate, as if it was the sound of moving the door bolt. After a while, a small gap was opened in the city gate, and half of its face was revealed. The man asked carefully: "You said, are you a monk from Moyunling?"

Yunduo nodded: "I have been traveling all the way here, and I didn't have any plans to enter the city. If you don't want people to enter the city, then I can turn around and leave."
To be continued...
