Lingyu First Bank

Xun Chao in the room looked at Wang Yuan helplessly.

The two were relatively speechless.

"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, I hurt you." Xun Chao finally said.

Wang Yuan let out a long sigh, he did complain to Xun Chao in his heart, but he knew it was useless.

"What's the situation here?" Wang Yuan asked.

Xun Chao blushed suddenly: "The women here are very..."

Seeing Xun Chao's hesitant to speak, Wang Yuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "I didn't ask about your woman, I asked about the surrounding environment here, did you see the monks who came here before..., eh? Wait, You said, the women here?"

Seeing Wang Yuan's sudden silence and suddenly lowering his head in thought, Xun Chao was a little puzzled, but this time he was curious, and Wang Yuan came to him at the risk of harm. As for the guards, Xun Chao didn't care too much, that was their duty .

"The women here are indeed different from those outside. What kind of environment can cause this situation? Could there be any special environment here?" Wang Yuan said to himself.

After a while, Wang Yuan shook his head, but couldn't think of a clue.

"Xiao Chao, tell me, how much have you learned in the past few days?" Wang Yuan still asked Xun Chao.

Xun Chao had already sorted it out, so he said in a low voice: "This place is called Xuankeng, and this city is called Xuancheng. The city is called Xuancheng. Although it is called a city, it does not have a city wall. Instead, it is built on a circular high platform. The high platform is more than ten feet high from the outside land. It is as straight as a knife. There are only four steps to go down. Go to the city. Xuancheng has a radius of about two miles, with only three to four thousand people, and all the people in Xuanjing live here. After leaving the city, the land here is extremely fertile, and everything grows quickly and well, but there is no wind and rain here. Thunder and Four Seasons, there is only one river that surrounds the entire Xuanjing, the source is a waterfall, and the end is a deep well. It is impossible to find out the source, and it is impossible to know where it will eventually flow. The water flow is endless for many years. The river is used for watering the land, but there are not so many seeds here, so there are only wheat and a few vegetables, and there is only one kind of tree called dwarf pine, which is not big and does not live long. , so there is no good house in Xuancheng, because there are no pillars. The reason why I can divide the house is because there are auspicious grains in the bag around me. Although there are not many, the city lord said that it can be cultivated slowly, which is very Pleased, this is the special treatment for me."

After Xun Chao said so much in one breath, he began to organize his thoughts again.

Wang Yuan asked: "Has anyone tried to escape from here? Have you contacted the monks who came down before?"

Xun Chao said: "I heard that countless people have tried it, but there is no way. The walls around the mysterious well are so high that you can't see the end. There are clouds and mist blocking it, only the light shines through. There are also days and nights, but the stone walls are as smooth as a mirror, and you can't climb at all. , Many people fell to their deaths there. As for the monks who came down, for some reason, the monks didn’t live long here. There is only one monk who came down ten years ago, but he went crazy after a few years, and now he is crazy every day It’s crazy, living on the food that everyone donates, I went to see it, it’s crazy, I can’t ask anything.”

"The others?"

Xun Chao blushed again, and hesitated for a while: "There are more women than men here, and men are very popular."

Wang Yuan touched his eyebrows: "Does anyone know how long this place has existed, and is there any record?"

Xun Chao shook his head: "No one can tell how long this place has existed, because there is only such a big place, and everyone's life is very boring, so I feel that writing is useless. People here are illiterate, and there are no books. Something like that, it is said that some monks wrote something on wood chips, but it was already burned as firewood.”

"Why do everyone live on the high platform and no one lives outside the city?"

"I also asked about this. After a while, a beast called Nian will appear to eat people. But Nian can't go to the high platform, and it doesn't appear during the day. So as long as the gates at the four steps are locked at night, everyone can rest easy. If you live outside the city, it can only be used as a yearly ration. There are no large livestock in Xuanjing, but there are many voles and hares. Even if it is meat here, no one raises livestock." Xun Chao said.

What kind of strange place is this?Wang Yuan couldn't figure out why there was such a place.

The people here speak with a little old-fashioned meaning, and they should be regarded as simple. You can tell by looking at these women, they almost think what they say.

But how to get out?You can't die of old age here, you crossed over here just to die here?
Wang Yuan decided to go out of the city to have a look, what if he could think of a way to escape?Although the possibility is unlikely, but do not give up lightly.

I told Xun Chao that although Xun Chao had already left the city, he still agreed to go and see it with Wang Yuan.

Xuancheng is a very free place. After Wang Yuan and the other four were completely exploited, no one cares about them.And there is a lot of land outside the city, of course there is none nearby, but in places farther away, as long as no one is planting the land, if you surround it with a kind of colored stone, it will be yours, and you can plant whatever you want.No one will steal your things, let alone your land, and a lot of ditches for water diversion have been dug here, so watering the land is also very easy.

Of course, Wang Yuan and the others didn't have the intention of farming, even if they did, none of them knew how to do so.

The four of them walked out of a city gate and walked to a distance of twenty or thirty miles. If they flew before, it would only take an instant, but now they measure with their feet, but it is hard for the four of them.

Among the four, Wang Yuan had the best physical strength, followed by Xun Chao. On the contrary, the two Yuanying Dzogchen had poor physical strength, probably because of their age.

After walking for less than ten miles, the two elderly people couldn't walk any longer. They sat on the ridge of the field, gasping for breath.

Wang Yuan let the two of them rest there, and moved on with Xun Chao.

Although the two are guards, one is that there is no danger here, and the other is that the two of them are not as strong as Wang Yuan and the other, so who will protect the other?

After all, Wang Yuan and Xun Chao are young and have not practiced for a long time. Wang Yuan still maintains the habit of walking occasionally.So the two of them were okay, they only took a rest halfway, and then walked to the river named Xuanhe.

But this trip took two hours, and they had to go back before dark, so they had to pay attention to the time.

Wang Yuan looked around, because the place they came from was neither the source nor the end, so he couldn't see those.You can only see the river flowing slowly in one direction, but the river is only four or five meters wide, and the water is very clear. When you look at it to the end, it is only about one meter deep.

Wang and Yuan took off their clothes and swam over naked.

The river water clings to the stone wall, and they can only touch the stone wall in the water.

The stone wall is already smooth, but the lower part is splashed by the river water, making it slippery. If you look into the water, there is not even a small fish. If you look up, it is covered by white mist.

The water was very cold, the two couldn't take it for a while, so they had to go ashore, waiting for their bodies to dry themselves for a while, the two looked at each other's pink buttocks, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
