Chapter 355 Dongli Mountain

After arriving at Dongli Mountain, I saw, heard, and made arrangements all the way. When I was about to enter the Strange Fire Tower, I discovered something unusual and returned immediately.

After half a month of travel, Ning Wuxie and his party finally arrived at the Dongli Mountains.

This mountain runs east-west and is the boundary mountain between Shangyun and Lanyuan dynasties. Lanyuan is to the north and Shangyun is to the south. To the east is the East China Sea, and Dongli Mountain runs across the east, like a big ship about to sail into the East China Sea. The mountains stretch into the sea, forming many wonders like mountains, seas, cliffs, and caves.

The Strange Fire Tower is built on such a rugged cliff piercing the blue sea. It is strange to say that the sect that plays with fire lives near the sea, but it is said that there is a fire cave under the cliff that goes straight to the center of the earth. It can be suppressed by the sea water to prevent it from gushing out, so it can be used by the strange fire tower.

Ning Wuxie had only been here once in his previous life, but Wei Huo Tower was really low-key and a marginalized person in the world.

Xuan'er has never been here even once.

There are many small towns at the foot of Dongli Mountain, most of which have a population of one to two thousand people. After all, the mountains are still dangerous, and only the alien fire tower builders occupy them. The town near the mountains eats the mountains, and the seaside fishes. The main business is farming, and there are no big cities around it.

The low-key sect is coupled with abundant resources and beautiful scenery. This section of the mountain east of the mountain can be regarded as a small paradise.

Before arriving at Dongli Mountain, Ning Wuxie stuffed Li Luobing back into her own little world and didn't let her come out anymore.

He and Xuan'er also disguised themselves before they dared to enter the town.

"Brother, should we go directly to the Strange Fire Tower?" Xuan'er, wearing a blue short coat and a bamboo hat that she had just bought from a coastal peasant woman, asked, holding Ning Wuxie's hand.

Chen'er is also in the small world, being looked after by Chong Jue, Chi Lian Bai Zhi, Li Luobing and the others.

It seems that this boy is quite lucky.

"No, stay here for a while first."

Ning Wuxie looked at the street scene around him. Under the gray sky, there was a thin drizzle, and Qingluo Town seemed to be shrouded in mist and rain. The bluestone slabs were glowing with water, and the water gurgled in the canals under the green tiles and white walls.

Pedestrians wearing bamboo hats walked by as a matter of course.

Qingluo Town is the largest of the four towns in Dongli and is not close to the sea. However, because it is located on the south bank of Dongli Mountain, the water vapor brought by the sea causes the climate to be humid all year round.

Therefore, although the townspeople on the street are all mortals, they still look fair and good-looking. It's much better than the arid northwest region of Xuan Qin.

"Are we going to live in seclusion here?" Xuan'er pulled Ning Wuxie's arm, her eyes sparkling.

"No..." Ning Wuxie touched her face, "I'm just staying here to see what's going on."

He took Xuan'er to a roof and stood there, far away from pedestrians. No one could hear what he was saying here.

"Dongli Mountain is located on the edge of Lingwu Continent. It has always been independent of the world. These townspeople have lived here for generations, with few outsiders. The same is true for Yihuo Tower. They only live on that three-quarter acre of land, with no contact with the outside world. Not much communication.”

"Just now you and I were standing on the street, and a lot of people were already staring at us, just because we met each other."

"Wuyuan hasn't written to us all the time. The situation is uncertain now. No matter how slow Tianxu reacts, after the Xuanhu Sword is pulled away, we should understand what we are doing."

"Now, we must not act rashly. Once we are caught, I am worried that Tianxu will use any means to kill us."

As Ning Wuxie said this, she looked up at the street. Fortunately, it was early in the morning and there were no suspicious people on the street. They were all ordinary people hurrying to make ends meet.

"What should we do?" Xuan'er held Ning Wuxie's hand.

"So, I plan to stay in this town for a while. When the monk from the Strange Fire Tower comes down from the mountain, we can ask him to pass on the message. There should be news."

"Then it's better to live in seclusion!" Xuan'er was a little excited.

"It won't be long..." Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er helplessly. She really wanted to live a stable life.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how long it takes." Xuan'er hugged her brother, "Then...are we going to buy a house?"

Ning Wuxie nodded, "Yes, if we buy a house and find a job, we can pretend to be ordinary people and establish ourselves in the town."

Xuan'er became obviously excited, "Okay, I want to work with you to make money."

"How can we make money? Are we short of money?" Ning Wuxie pinched both of her cheeks with one hand, and Xuan'er's red lips pursed, revealing her white teeth.

"It's just for disguise!"

Xuan'er's eyes showed clear stupidity. She was pinched by Ning Wuxie and showed her front teeth like a hamster. She didn't resist and looked at him blankly.

"No matter what, as long as I'm with you..."

Ning Wuxie sighed and let go of her hand. Xuan'er fell forward as if she had no backbone and threw herself into Ning Wuxie's arms.

"What's wrong with you? Are you pregnant for three years?" Ning Wuxie poked her head.

He finally understood that now only Chen'er could seal her abrasive physique. Holding Chen'er, Xuan'er held the emperor hostage and commanded the princes, becoming the dominant figure in the family. Chen'er is not here, she relies on herself just like the little girl back then, without any shame.

"Let's go buy a house." Ning Wuxie sighed.

"Um!"

After getting on the same page with Xuan'er, Ning Wuxie took Xuan'er to the wine shop and asked the waiter if there were any reliable people around.

Ya Ren was an intermediary in ancient times. If you wanted to buy an unused house but didn't want to go through the trouble of looking for it, you had to rely on him.

Coincidentally, there happened to be a Yaman sitting under the eaves of the wine shop drinking. When he heard Ning Wuxie's question, he hurried over.

"Brother, do you want to buy a house? I am from Qingluo Town. I will help you do it!"

It was so convenient that Ning Wuxie agreed. What he hates the most is spending a lot of time and making a fuss around Qingluo Town. Everyone in the town will know that a new couple has arrived in the town, so it will be in vain.

The tooth man called Chen San, took advantage of the situation and invited Ning Wuxie for a drink in the wine shop, and sat down to talk with Ning Wuxie, starting with some compliments.

"Brother, you are really handsome and handsome, and your wife is also very beautiful. You can tell she is not just a mortal at first glance, haha..."

Ning Wuxie's expression tightened, and when she saw Chen San smiling with a natural expression, she realized that the "mortal" he meant was ordinary people.

The four towns of Dongli are far away from the Central Plains, and the cultivators of the Strange Fire Tower are extremely low-key. The people are relatively less sensitive to the cultivators and immortals.

"Where are you two from? What are your last names?"

As usual, Chen San still asked. After all, people of unknown origins could not be admitted into the town.

But Ning Wuxie also thought about his words in advance.

"My name is Lin Mo, and my surname is Shen. We came here from Dachu to avoid trouble."

"Avoiding trouble?" Chen San raised his eyebrows, his eyes a little more wary.

"That's right," Ning Wuxie nodded, "my wife is the legitimate daughter of a small family under the Qingyu Mountain in the east of Dachu, and I am the adopted son adopted by the Shen family twenty years ago because of the honor of an old friend. In the past twenty years She and I fell in love with each other and made a lifelong alliance. However, the head of the Ning family, Lin Wuxie, stopped us and beat us up. "

"There were all kinds of obstacles and countless blood and tears, but in the end, the two of us decided to stay together and elope completely. I heard that Dongli Mountain has beautiful scenery and kind people, and it is a little Taoyuan of Lingwu, so I thought of coming here to live in seclusion. Forget it for the rest of your life.”

As Ning Wuxie said this, she still hugged Xuan'er's shoulders, looking like a desperate mandarin duck.

These words not only showed weakness, but also complimented the four towns of Dongli Mountain. Chen San suddenly felt a little more comfortable. As for the Shen family in the Qingyu Mountain in the eastern part of the Chu State, it was separated from the Dongli Mountain by the entire Yu State. Chen San would never see anyone from there in his life.

But the business cannot be so simple. Chen San nodded, raised his glass and touched Ning Wuxie, "Brother Lin is a real man."

"But..." He changed his tone, "If you want to live in Qingyun Town for a long time, you must have someone around you to live by. What kind of business do you plan to do, brother?"

"I don't know yet." Ning Wuxie answered truthfully.

And this is precisely the most true answer. Who can figure out how to make a living after just escaping from trouble and not settling down yet? Of course, just do whatever you can.

"I heard that the four towns in Dongli rely on the mountains and the sea to make a living. Lin is strong and strong, and he also learned some boxing from a noble family. He may have gone to the mountains and sea to make a living."

Chen San smiled slightly and felt even more relieved. Nine of the ten outsiders who came to Dongli Mountain said the same thing.

"That's no problem, as long as Brother Lin can apply for a hiking permit or fishing permit at the local government office."

"Do you still need to apply for a certificate?"

"Of course, this is the rule of the four towns of Dongli, and all the mountain residents and fishermen have it. Otherwise, Dongli Mountain would have been crowded out by outsiders long ago... Of course, I am not talking about you, Brother Lin."

Chen San forced a smile and said, "Since Brother Lin and his wife eloped from an aristocratic family, there will naturally be no shortage of white and yellow things."

Ning Wuxie sneered in her heart, there are quite a lot of rules in this mortal world, but they still have to make way for money.

"Money is not a problem. When Brother Chen introduces a house, he only shows good places. There is no need to look at a bad house."

Chen San's face was filled with joy, "Okay, that's great! When Brother Lin said that, I immediately had a few places in mind. I'll take you two to see them."

Chen San stood up and walked towards the street, only to see Ning Wuxie already sitting on the chair.

"Brother Lin?"

"Want to go see the house?" Ning Wuxie raised her head and asked.

"That's natural. How can you buy a house without looking at it?" Chen San smiled.

"How about, Third Brother, just tell me about it... Just tell me about the best houses. If we like them, we will buy them."

Chen San was stunned, "How can you buy a house like this? Can you buy it without seeing it?"

"Lan'er is pregnant and can't walk, and I can't bear to bear her alone..."

Ning Wuxie looked at Xuan'er and reached out to touch Xuan'er's cheek. It was really disgusting in front of outsiders, but that was the effect she wanted.

Chen San then remembered that Mrs. Shen's belly was indeed bulging - of course it was Xuan'er's magic power - which was really difficult to handle.

Judging from the cute looks of this young couple, it is true that they can never be separated for a moment, so it is no wonder that they elope. Chen San felt a faint disdain in his heart. If a grown man is tired of hugging a woman all day long, he is probably also a waste.

"That's okay..." He walked back to the table and sat down, "Brother Lin, please tell me the budget."

"You don't have to consider my budget," Ning Wuxie let go of Xuan'er and waved to Chen San, "Just take out the best and most expensive thing you have."

Chen San was stunned, and his disdain disappeared.

"The relationship is good, please listen to me and tell you in detail..."

In less than half an hour, Chen San finished introducing the best houses to Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er. He started talking about the first one from the best. In fact, when it came to the third one, Ning Wuxie had already made up his mind. The next one would not be good.

The first house was the property of a landowner. It was the most arrogant and had four or ten side courtyards. It was too ostentatious to choose from.

The third is the former hermitage of a cultivator, now owned by the mayor. Although the courtyard is small, it has a bamboo forest, a pond with flowers and birds, and a fairy atmosphere.

Ning Wuxie didn't dare to get involved with the impression of a cultivator, so she put it aside decisively.

What remains is the second house, located in the north of the town, close to the road out of the town and not far from the market in the town. It has only three entrances and is suitable for a family of three.

Of course, the price is not cheap, the asking price is 50 taels.

Ning Wuxie took out a gold bar from his arms, and Chen San's eyes were immediately fixed on it.

"I'm in a hurry when I come out of Shen's house. I've spent all the broken silver along the way, and this is all I have left. Can you please third brother accompany me to redeem it?"

It turned out to be stolen from the owner's house. No wonder he is so arrogant and a good boy. He kidnapped someone's daughter and made money. He is really a white-eyed wolf.

Chen San's disdain that disappeared just now came back again.

"Okay, Brother Lin, please keep it first, and we'll leave now."

Although he despised "Lin Mo" in his heart, Chen San didn't have any evil thoughts in his heart.

There is no one in the world. How can someone survive if they elope without money? Besides, who knows how this adopted son will be treated in the Shen family?

He felt a little balanced in his mind and just did his job well and earned what he should earn! My ancestors have been here in Qingluo Town for generations, aren’t all the people in Qingluo Town like this? He, a Yaman, also inherited his business from the generation above. There are rules for extracting profit and water, and he cannot break the rules and make others look down on him.

With this in mind, the three of them arrived at the jewelry store. Ning Wuxie melted the gold bars for a share worth one hundred taels, and followed Chen San directly to the house. As expected, they were satisfied, so they signed and pledged the money in the yard and took over the house deed.

"Third brother." Before leaving, Ning Wuxie stopped Chen San and stuffed the 10 taels of silver into Chen San's arms, in addition to the legal commission.

"I'm always worried that the Shen family will send someone to arrest Lan'er, and I feel uneasy about the two of us here..."

"How many people are there in the Shen family?" Chen San asked.

"No more than a hundred."

"...Don't worry, they won't come to arrest you from such a small family." After saying that, Chen San turned around and left.

"No, no, you have to accept it, otherwise Lan'er won't be worried." Ning Wuxie took his arm, "Third brother, just do me a favor. There are outsiders coming to Qingluo Town. Let's send a message."

"I'll make money in the future... I still have some words for it."

Chen San looked at Ning Wuxie's sincere and serious expression and thought that people in Da Chu were too narrow-minded to care about everything.

"Okay, whenever an outsider comes to town, I will be the first to tell you."

He reached out and grabbed the silver, turned around and left.
