Chapter 229: Stir
Afterwards, Fang Zhixing went to the commercial street and found the branch of Tianbao Chamber of Commerce.
He entered the hall and first bought a latest map.
"Yulan County has been a restricted area for almost ten years..."
Fang Zhixing spread out the map and looked at it carefully, and a faint light suddenly flashed in his dark eyes.
Of the nine counties in Xiahe County, only eight remain.
All traces of the existence of Yulan County were erased from the map.
“Oh, it seems that Xiahe County has long noticed that Yulan County has become a restricted area.”
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Logically speaking, the emergence of a new restricted area should attract many people to break in, adventure, and explore.
But it is obvious that someone deliberately blocked this news.
Fang Zhixing scanned the map and focused on Nanping Mountain.
"Seven years ago, I ran into a corrupt monk. He was heading to Nanping Mountain, saying he was going to watch the birth of the forbidden area..."
Nanping Mountain is still there on the map, but there are no extra markings.
When Fang Zhixing saw this, his mind became lively.
A moment later…
He left the county town from the south gate, walked straight along the official road, and headed all the way to Nanping Mountain.
As they walked, Fang Zhixing looked up and saw a huge shadow looming on Nanping Mountain in the distance.
The last time he came here, Nanping Mountain was still a barren mountain, covered with trees and without any buildings.
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but speed up and quickly reached the foot of the mountain, looking up and taking a closer look.
As expected.
On the top of the mountain ridge stands a magnificent fortress, all white and with iron walls.
There was a large area near the bunker where all the trees had been cut down, the view was very wide and there was no place to hide.
People in the bunker can see every corner of the mountain just by looking around.
It would undoubtedly be extremely difficult for anyone to approach the bunker quietly.
In addition, the fortifications of this bunker are very strong and are no joke.
Fang Zhixing stood by the roadside and waited for a moment, and soon a passerby came.
The other party was just a traveling merchant who sold animal furs and unconventional medicines.
Fang Zhixing stopped him, pretending to buy medicine, and asked, "Brother, do you know whose bunker that is?"
The peddler glanced at the mountain and said with a smile, "The construction of Xuanhuo Gate started seven years ago and was completed only last year."
Fang Zhixing quickly asked, "Why did the Xuanhuo Sect build a bunker here?"
The peddler spread his hands and smiled, "As a peddler, how would I know the exact reason? But I heard from someone that a cave appeared on the mountain, and that cave happened to be connected to the restricted area of Xuanhuo Sect. That's why Xuanhuo Sect had to build a bunker to block the cave."
Fang Zhixing seemed to understand what he heard, and asked in surprise: "Where did the restricted area of Xuanhuo Sect come from? There are only two restricted areas in the entire Xiahe County."
The traveling merchant smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating that this was all he knew.
Fang Zhixing pondered for a moment and then turned back to the county town.
He walked into Cuizhu Pavilion and found the waiter.
"Sir, you are here again. Would you like to stay at the hotel?"
The waiter smiled and nodded. This time he remembered Fang Zhixing.
"I won't stay at the hotel."
Fang Zhixing took out some loose change and stuffed it into the waiter's pocket, asking, "You've been around the county town for many years, so you know a lot about the news. Do you know what's going on with the bunker on Nanping Mountain?"
The waiter smiled and said, "I actually know a little about this."
He held up three fingers and spoke carefully: "Speaking of that bunker, we have to mention the 'Mysterious Fire Forbidden Zone'.
In Xiahe County, there are only two restricted areas on the surface, but in fact there are three."
"Three restricted areas?!"
Fang Zhixing was immediately moved and asked, "You mean, the Xuanhuo Sect has occupied a restricted area?"
"right!"
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "The Xuanhuo restricted area is level four, and is occupied by the Xuanhuo family. Outsiders cannot enter that restricted area to hunt."
Fang Zhixing frowned and asked in confusion: "The restricted area is not very large, how did the Xuanhuo Gate block others from entering?"
“No need to block it!”
The waiter replied, "Actually, that's the problem. The Xuanhuo restricted area is different from other restricted areas. Its entrance and exit is a cave. So as long as the Xuanhuo Sect guards the cave entrance, they can prevent others from entering and leaving the Level 4 restricted area."
"The entrance..."
Fang Zhixing suddenly understood.
The waiter continued, "For a long time, everyone thought that the Xuanhuo restricted area had only one entrance and exit, which was inside the mountain gate of the Xuanhuo Gate, and outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering.
But they never expected that seven years ago, after the traitor Tan Lang led the rebels to capture Nanping Mountain, they accidentally discovered a cave entrance, which could lead them into and out of the Xuanhuo restricted area.
Of course, at first the rebels didn’t know that the restricted area they entered was the Xuanhuo restricted area. They just mistakenly thought that they had discovered a new restricted area.
There were even rumors going around that the restricted area had actually just been created.
This caused rumors to spread like wildfire, attracting many people from the underworld to gather at Nanping Mountain to watch.
Fang Zhixing immediately understood what was going on.
Damn it, it turns out that the evil monk who broke his vows was attracted here by a rumor.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing's face showed a bit of disgust.
Speaking of which, the first time he met the evil monk who broke his precepts was at Yan’s Winery.
But that time it just happened to happen, it was completely unexpected.
The first time was an accident, the second time can't be an accident either.
But what they never expected was that their second meeting would still be an accident.
It just happened to be such a coincidence.
The waiter continued, "Soon after, Xuanhuo Sect noticed that someone had entered their Level 4 forbidden area without permission, and they quickly found out that the second entrance was at Nanping Mountain.
Therefore, the leader of Sui clan came forward in person and asked the county governor for help to set fire to Nanping Mountain.
Afterwards, they worked together to defeat the rebel army and built a bunker to guard Nanping Mountain. "
After hearing this, Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and curled his lips.
The doubts that had troubled him for a long time were finally solved one by one.
However, this seemed to do nothing to change his situation.
"Right now, I'm trapped in the Magnolia restricted area, and the whereabouts of the little dog are unknown..."
Fang Zhixing sighed softly, walked slowly out of Cuizhu Pavilion, and strolled on the street.
"Xigou and Wang Jiayun, both of them were able to escape from the Magnolia restricted area. Logically, I should be able to do so, but I really have no idea now, alas..."
Fang Zhixing's brows were twisted into a knot, and his mood was in turmoil.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
Fang Zhixing felt a little hungry, so he turned around and went to a famous restaurant called "Guangjuxuan" to eat.
Guangjuxuan has three floors, with the first-floor hall for entertaining ordinary guests and the second-floor attic for entertaining distinguished guests.
The third floor is the viewing tower, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery by leaning on the railing.
Standing on the south side, you can see a long and busy street with people bustling about.
Standing on the north side, you can see the beautiful peach blossom forest behind Guangjuxuan, which covers an area of seven or eight acres, with fresh grass and colorful fallen petals.
Of course, the consumption prices on the three floors increase sequentially.
Fang Zhixing walked into the restaurant, climbed the stairs, went straight to the third floor, and sat at a table by the window.
He ordered a table full of fine wine and delicious food and enjoyed his lunch by himself.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Sui? Long time no see."
Suddenly, an exaggerated laugh was heard, extremely flattering.
Fang Zhixing tilted his head and saw a young man in white clothes swaggering up to the third floor.
All of a sudden, the diners around stood up one after another, bowed and nodded, and saluted respectfully.
The young man in white was dressed gorgeously, but he looked a little ugly, giving people a feeling of being a rat.
"Young Master Sui? Could he be the son of Sui Jiefu..."
Fang Zhixing was distracted and looked at the young man in white carefully, but found that he didn't look like Sui Jiefu at all.
"You guys should eat and drink, don't worry about me."
The young man in white was gentle and polite, and he bowed with a smile.
Then he sat at another table by the window, right next to Fang Zhixing.
He was alone and ordered a pot of tea, sipping it leisurely.
Wait a moment...
Young Sect Master Sui suddenly turned his head, a look of joy appeared on his face, he stood up and waved towards the stairs.
Fang Zhixing also glanced over there and saw a young man in a flowery brocade robe walking towards him.
When everyone saw this man, they couldn't help but stand up and salute him, calling him "Mr. Luo".
The young man in flowery clothes looked arrogant. He ignored everyone and walked directly to sit down opposite Young Master Sui.
"Sui Yanqing, what's the matter that makes you so anxious to ask me out?"
The young man in flowery clothes looked a little impatient.
Young Sect Master Sui filled a cup of tea for him and said with an apologetic smile, "It's still the same thing. My father finally agreed."
The young man in flowery clothes suddenly widened his eyes and smacked his lips, "Really? Your father agreed to redeem Miss Mengdie?"
Young Sect Master Sui pursed his lips and smiled happily, "I begged my father repeatedly while he was in a good mood, and he finally allowed me to marry Mengdie as my concubine."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“It’s not easy!”
The young man in flowery clothes exclaimed in amazement and said enviously, "If it were my father, he would never let me marry a prostitute even if he killed me."
Young Sect Master Sui smiled happily, his eyebrows full of pride, and said: "I have prepared the money, please accompany me to the Qunfang Pavilion tonight."
"No problem."
The young man in flowery clothes nodded.
After they finished a cup of tea, they stood up and left together.
Fang Zhixing watched him leave and shook his head speechlessly.
It turns out that Sui Jiefu's son is a bootlicker. He could lick anyone else but Mengdie.
Fang Zhixing has also slept with Mengdie, and the taste is just so-so, with an acceptable smoothness.
Soon he had finished his meal and sat by the window, deep in thought.
"I don't know how to escape from the restricted area, but I can't let this stop me from moving forward. I have to keep getting stronger."
"As long as I become stronger, many of the problems that have troubled me will naturally be solved."
Fang Zhixing's expression gradually calmed down, and the confusion in his heart was swept away.
He looked at the system panel again.
Conditions 1, 5, and 6 have been completed.
Condition 2: Observe the centaur monster reveal its true form three times, and then look for it everywhere.
Condition 3, you also need to collect 4 visualization pictures.
Condition 4: Improve qualifications.
Condition 7 is to obtain 30,000 kilograms of level 4 exotic beast meat.
"Conditions 2 and 3 are the most difficult to accomplish. Where can I search for multi-legged monsters? The visualization diagram is even more difficult to obtain."
Fang Zhixing focused on conditions 4 and 7.
Improving qualifications is not that simple. The most effective method is the harmony of yin and yang, but it cannot be solved by having a woman.
It requires cooperation between men and women, that is, the woman must at least know how to harmonize yin and yang.
For example, although Fang Zhixing and Mengdie had slept together, it was just a one-night stand and could not be considered the harmony of yin and yang.
In this case, Fang Zhixing needs to find a woman who is willing to harmonize yin and yang.
Of course, with his current stamina, one or two women cannot satisfy him.
It’s a pity that he is no longer in Qinghe County. Without the support of the family, many things that could have been easily accomplished are now difficult.
"Condition 7 can be done first."
Thirty thousand kilograms of level four exotic beast meat would be too expensive if you bought all of it with money.
Although Fang Zhixing had some money, it was not that much and he could not afford such extravagant spending.
"Mysterious Fire Forbidden Zone..."
Suddenly, Fang Zhixing's eyes flickered.
He didn't know before that there was a level 4 restricted area in Xiahe County.
"I am just an outsider without any background. It is unlikely that Xuanhuo Sect will allow me to enter the Xuanhuo restricted area..."
Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing closed his eyes and his brain started working quickly.
"I have an advantage now, that is, I can wake up anytime and anywhere and disappear from this world in an instant!"
Fang Zhixing was slightly excited. He was trapped in the Magnolia restricted area. At first glance, it seemed like a difficult situation, but as long as he used it properly, he could completely turn the situation around.
Thinking of this, Fang Zhixing came up with a bold plan in his mind.
Time passed quickly and it was evening in a blink of an eye.
As the lights came on, the Qunfang Pavilion quickly became lively.
Fang Zhixing walked into the hall slowly.
"Hero, you are here again!"
The madam was very sharp-eyed and recognized Fang Zhixing. He had come to play three days ago and was very generous.
"Take me to see Mengdie."
Fang Zhixing took out a handful of gold bills and threw them to the madam without hesitation, showing his generosity to the extreme.
The madam took the money, but felt it was too hot, and said in embarrassment: "Sir, Mengdie has an appointment tonight, so I can't serve you."
Fang Zhixing said, "I know, Young Master Sui, right?"
The madam shuddered suddenly. She dared not disclose the information of an important person, so she became alert.
Fang Zhixing waved his hand and said, "I know Sui Yanqing. When he comes later, bring him to see me."
Without waiting for the madam to say anything, he went upstairs and broke into Mengdie's room.
"Hero, it's you..."
In the room, Mengdie exclaimed. She was too impressed by the macho Fang Zhixing.
That night was so crazy! Fang Zhixing was so fierce that he almost tortured her to death.
Mengdie said, "My dear hero, I am not available to receive guests tonight, please go back."
Fang Zhixing sat down and said with a faint smile: "I'm not here to play today. I'm also waiting for Sui Yanqing."
After hearing these words , Mengdie paused for a moment and lowered her head silently.
About half an hour later, night fell.
There was a creaking sound.
The madam pushed open the door and shouted, "Mengdie, Young Master Sui is here."
Then, two figures walked in quickly. They were Sui Yanqing and the young man in flowery clothes.
They glanced and their eyes fell on Fang Zhixing.
Sui Yanqing had a serious expression, and felt that the visitor was not friendly. He stared at Fang Zhixing and asked, "Who are you?"
Fang Zhixing sat calmly, with his thighs crossed, and replied indifferently: "My name is Zhang Changji. You may not have heard of me, but you must have heard of my master."
Sui Yanqing frowned and asked, "Oh, who is your master?"
Fang Zhixing replied word by word: "An evil monk who broke his vows."
Sui Yanqing's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but show resentment and anger on his face.
Seven years ago, an evil monk who broke his precepts caused chaos in the county town and injured his father Sui Jiefu, causing Sui Jiefu to recuperate for several years before he recovered.
"Huh, who was I then?"
The young man in flowery clothes looked gloomy and said coldly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you want?"
Fang Zhixing glanced at him and asked, "Which son of the Luo family are you?"
"Huh, you don't even know me?"
The young man in flowery clothes sneered and said proudly, "I am Luo Junqi, the eldest son of the county governor."
Fang Zhixing stood up and grinned, "If I kidnapped you, I'm sure your father would be very worried, right?"
After hearing this, Sui Yanqing and Luo Junqi couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.
In this county town, who dares to touch them? But suddenly, Fang Zhixing disappeared from his seat.
The two men then felt a heaviness on the back of their necks and their vision went dark.
Fang Zhixing picked them both up and his figure swayed.
Immediately, a strong wind blew up in the house, making it impossible for the madam and Mengdie to open their eyes.
When they raised their heads again, Fang Zhixing and the other two had disappeared.
