Volume 1 Chapter 819: The Market Is Closed
Chapter 819: Market Suspension
This area is still an outer formation. Although it covers a wide range and has many attack methods, its lethality is limited. As long as the cultivators do not fight hard to the vicinity of the valley, their lives should be safe. Zhang Pa made this formation more as a warning to remind the cultivators not to give up their lives in vain. But if you don't take it seriously after being reminded again and again, what if I kill you? The heart of the formation is thousands of meters around the stone wall, and murderous intent is everywhere. Entering here is the real death, which is equivalent to handing your life over to others with your own hands.
In order to protect the stone wall and avoid more killings in the future, Zhang Pa spent time and effort to carefully check the entire formation, but new ideas emerged and there were always changes after weighing. Even if the cultivators are greedy for treasures, their crimes are not punishable by death, so he focused his main energy on the formation outside the valley, thinking about how to remind the cultivators to give up. In this way, there are more things to do, and it took more than half a month to complete them all.
After checking it again and confirming that it was correct, he told Mr. Turtle all the formulas of the magic array, then clapped his hands and said, "I have to go."
The little monk had no objection. He asked Zhang Pa to come just to keep the precepts for himself. If this array blocked the enemy, the enemy could not reach him, and there would be no chance to fight, and there would be no possible killing. Therefore, he did not stop him, stood up and clasped his hands together and said, "Mr., you have worked hard."
Zhang Pa said, "I am not tired, but you two will be more tired. Everyone in the world knows that you two are powerful. In the future, anyone who dares to climb the mountain and break the wall must have great skills. You two should be careful."
Only for one thing in a lifetime, devote all your life to life and death. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Pa admires such people very much, but such a life is a bit boring. Take the current situation as an example. One person and one turtle guard the strange cave. I don’t know how long they will guard it, maybe until death. For example, the two black monsters guarding the sea spirit in the Refining God Temple guarded themselves to death.
The young monk nodded and said, "I know I have committed a sin and I will do my best. As for what happens next, I will not consider it at all." This monk really lives a carefree life.
The big turtle said, "I hope your magic circle can be stronger, so I don't have to look for you again." Zhang Pa was depressed: "Are you blackmailing me? Not only did I work for you for nothing, but I also spent all kinds of materials. Is that not enough? Let me tell you, if you come to me again, I will never serve you." The turtle rolled his eyes at him and said, "The big bones I got from the mountain are enough to make up for all your losses."
It turned out that this guy knew everything. Zhang Pa said angrily, "I'm leaving." Just as he was about to turn around, he remembered something and asked the big turtle again, "I want to ask you something. When you first met me, why did you drive me out of the mountain? You ignored more than a hundred cultivators in the valley, why did you target me?"
The big turtle did not hide it from him and replied, "Only you can enter and exit the magic circle under the stone wall freely. I think you are in danger and may enter the cave. Of course, I don't want you to come again."
Zhang Pa was a little depressed: "That's it?" The turtle nodded: "That's it." Zhang Pa said angrily, "You can find whoever you want in the future. I'm leaving." He left the mountain angrily. Is it wrong to have great abilities?
He left, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said goodbye, whispering: "Amitabha." The turtle was not satisfied with the attitude of this bastard, and said coldly: "Why do you keep talking to him? Such a scourge, if you don't beat him up, it's like taking care of him."
At this time, Zhang Pa had not walked far, and he heard this clearly. He knew that the big turtle had a deep grudge against him, so he ignored it and ran a little faster, and hurried out of the mountain. He thought: How come these unlucky monsters are all the same, the unicorn, the dragon spirit, the big turtle, one by one, they all don't trust people, even if you save them several times.
However, no matter how resentful the big turtle was, Zhang Pa had a lot of gains on this trip. He collected the five elements materials and got a giant bone in addition, which were all treasures that he had been looking for.
After leaving the mountain, he took a detour to return, but found several wine shops on the road. They were all built casually on the roadside, with three or two rooms. There were three or two servants sitting in the house, not talking or moving, looking very lazy, and I don't know what business they were doing.
Seeing them, Zhang Pa smiled, but the smile was cold. Are they here now? Roughly counting, there are 17 or 18 small shops like this within a radius of 100 miles. Regardless of the storefront, all the wine shops are newly built, and all the servants have delicate features and spirituality. At a glance, you can tell that they are cultivators with wisdom.
This group of cultivators did not deliberately hide their identities. It was strange to open a wine shop near the Monster Mountain. What else is there to hide? Their existence is only to find out the news. If someone wants to enter the mountain to grab treasures, they will pass the news back to the sect and let the masters make a decision.
Zhang Pa was discovered as soon as he came out of the mountain. When he walked away, he saw a series of light and shadows flashing in the air. At this time, no one considered whether the communication spell was expensive.
Zhang Pa was too lazy to care about what they did, and flew north to Tianlei Mountain. There were too many things recently, and he wanted to have a good rest for a while. But when he returned to the mountain, he knew what it meant to be counterproductive.
There is a small market at the foot of Tianlei Mountain, which was formed spontaneously, mainly for safety. Low-level cultivators would rather walk a few more steps to come here to trade. In comparison, although the three weapon-refining sects of Yue State are neutral and friendly with all four parties, they are still no match for the powerful strength of Tianlei Mountain. Occasionally, large traders are robbed and killed. Therefore, in just a few years, the foot of Tianlei Mountain has become a recognized safe area for Yue State cultivators. Everyone likes to come here, just like the Mountain God Platform in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
In the past, when Zhang Pa went down the mountain, he would habitually scan the market. After all, it was under his own eyes. If something happened, it would be a loss of face for Tianlei Mountain. But today, the market was not open. The merchants were stopped outside the market by the cultivators of several sects. More than a hundred people sat together, one by one, with their eyes closed and legs crossed. If you don't look at their cultivation and only look at their appearance, they look quite like that, with a sense of ancient Taoist immortal style.
Zhang Pa was flying back, and when he was about to enter the mountain, he suddenly found something strange here, and didn't understand why it was like this. Rui Yuan had told him that the market was protected by the Baizhan team members, and nothing would happen easily. So he stopped in the air and glanced. Two Baizhan team members were standing lazily at the northernmost part of the market, looking indifferent. They didn't care whether it was merchants or cultivators from various sects.
The order they received was that killing was prohibited in the market, and whoever dared to cause trouble would be dealt with, but these people didn't fight with the merchants, so they didn't care. You can do whatever you want, they don't bother to care. To put it bluntly, if Zhang Pa hadn't been on the mountain, even Rui Yuan probably wouldn't have been able to order them around.
Zhang Pa saw the expressions of the two brothers and felt helpless. Alas, there was nothing he could do. Among the three teams, only Li Zhan was relatively obedient. The other two teams were simply full of thorns. They looked down on everyone except the people in the team. Fortunately, Zhang Pa changed them with all his strength. As everyone got along for a long time, their tempers became slightly kinder.
He flashed in front of the two and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" The two were mid-level Yuanying cultivators. Suddenly, they found that a powerful cultivator was coming in the air. They were about to be on guard. When they saw Zhang Pa, they relaxed and clasped their fists to greet him: "Hello, Master."
Zhang Pa asked again: "Why did the business market stop?" A white warrior replied: "That group of guys didn't let it go, and the vendors were obedient, so it didn't open." His answer was concise enough.
"That's it?" Zhang Pa turned around and looked at the more than a hundred sitting cultivators. There were more than two hundred people standing behind and beside them. A lot of them were below the Jindan stage, and there was not even a Yuanying cultivator. I really didn't know what they were doing.
"That's it." Bai Zhan replied. Zhang Pa asked again: "How many days?" Bai Zhan thought about it and said: "About five days. You know, we rotate every day, and we can't take care of too many things. Anyway, as long as they don't make trouble, they can do whatever they want."
"Shangji has been locked up for five days?" When encountering something, you can't just ignore it as if you didn't see it. Zhang Pa asked a few more questions.
"Well, it's been locked up for five days, but people have arrived five days ago." Bai Zhan added.
Zhang Pa nodded. There was no need to ask these two brothers other questions. Among the 222 Bai Zhan, none of them was as enthusiastic as himself. Thinking that there were nearly a hundred Yuanying in the walnut on his chest, he shook his head slightly. If he let them take over, would they be as indifferent as these Bai Zhan in the future?
After many fights and killings, there are even many Nascent Souls of top-level cultivators in the walnut on his chest, and the number is not small. He killed people in the Thirteen Kingdoms of Southern Wu, fought with the Yunlong Sect of the Warring States Period, and killed some unlucky guys whose names he didn't even know. He easily gathered more than thirty Nascent Souls. In the battle of Monster Mountain, the big turtle killed fifty Nascent Soul masters at once, and he took advantage of the chaos to take away the Nascent Souls. If all these Nascent Souls were taken over, the strength of Tianlei Mountain would be even more terrifying.
However, this is not the time to calculate this. He turned around and looked at this group of people, especially the vendors. They were not anxious or worried, and they looked like they were watching the fun. After thinking for a while, since they were not in a hurry, there was no need for him to intervene. He said hello to the two Bai Zhan and went to Tianlei Mountain.
The establishment of Tianlei Mountain Business Fair had nothing to do with the Tianlei Mountain sect. It was completely a spontaneous act of some low-level cultivators. Zhang was afraid that he saw that they were working hard and asked Bai Zhan to give them extra protection. They are the ones who open and close the market, and Zhang Pa will not interfere. As for those people in the market, Zhang Pa doesn't care. A large group of people suddenly gathered together. No matter what they want to do, they can't sit there forever. The answer will be revealed in the next few days.
He was right to think so, but unfortunately, he saw Rui Yuan waiting by the side just after entering the mountain gate. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, walked up to Rui Yuan and asked, "When did you get so close to Bai Zhan?" He stopped Rui Yuan from greeting.
When he returned to the mountain, only the two Bai Zhans at the foot of the mountain knew that Rui Yuan could wait at the mountain gate, and he must have received a reminder from the two. Otherwise, with the prestige of Tianlei Mountain at this time, how could a big sect with more than 40,000 people stand in front of the mountain gate for no reason?
Hearing this, Rui Yuan laughed awkwardly, and then said, "Disciple has something important to discuss with Uncle Master."
"Why do you always have something important?" The two talked as they walked, and when the disciples saw them on the road, they all retreated to the side of the road and saluted respectfully.
