The Sutra of Nothingness

After a long time, Shangguan Duo finally arrived at the chaotic city closest to him: Bigar City! When he first arrived in this city, Shangguan Duo was surprised to find that this chaotic city was not as chaotic as he had imagined. Instead, the living facilities and various businesses were in order.

"Well, I don't know how the work at Butian Pavilion has been completed. Without me, they must have gone back faster, right? They don't have to worry about protecting me. Even if they encounter danger, they can easily solve it. Right?" Shangguan Duo found a tavern and sat down, drinking wine, but in his heart he kept thinking about the people who were no longer around him.

"Little guy, do you know that your seat was reserved by our Lord Long?" Just when Shangguan Duo was still distracted, a burst of accusations sounded.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know, please! I'll leave now!" After Shangguan Duo recovered, he immediately bowed and apologized. After all, he just came here and he didn't want to get into trouble. After all, he didn't Know where the other person comes from.

"Humph, little one, you look so fair and tender, you just came here, right? This place is different from the outside. It's better to ask more questions if you don't know anything in the future!" Seeing that Shangguan Duo was very sensible, he immediately packed up. After retreating, the man also kindly mentioned it.

"Okay, thank you, big brother! I will pay attention to it in the future!" Shangguan Duo replied with a smile, and then he retreated to a corner and continued to sit.

Now that he has just arrived here, he has no place to live, and no specific ideas about what to do. He can only stare at the street outside in a daze.

Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, he couldn't imagine why this place was labeled as a city of chaos. After all, apart from talking louder, he didn't look like no one was here. He even suspected that this place was unattended. The map given by the old-timer was so old that he ended up in such a well-organized place, which was completely inconsistent with his original intention.

"Well, it seems that this trip was in vain. Now I have to take a closer look at where to go next!" Shangguan Duo said helplessly, and then continued drinking tea by himself.

After resting, Shangguan Duo began to walk around the streets. He thought it was time to prepare some war preparation supplies for himself, otherwise it would be like the way they came to Tang State. What if they encountered something? Oops.

"Hey, boss! Do you want to take a look at this spiritual grass of mine? This is a three-hundred-year-old cold-repellent grass. Needless to say, its efficacy!" While Shangguan Duo was still patrolling, a man The little old man took the initiative to come closer and took Shangguan Duo to introduce the things on his stall.

"Old man, no need. I'm not an alchemist. It's useless to hold these herbs! It's better to buy some elixirs and spiritual weapons. Those can still have some effect on me!" Although Shangguan Duo was a little embarrassed, he didn't No way, he couldn't restrain his desire to become stronger. This place was not like what he had imagined. He could only replenish the necessary supplies as soon as possible and then go to the next destination.

"I know, but if you go any further, you will end up in someone else's territory, and they won't be as friendly as we are here!" The old man didn't care at all about Shangguan Duo's refusal, and just explained to him tighter and tighter. .

"Huh? What do you mean? Senior, please put it more simply. I don't quite understand it!" Shangguan Duo asked with some confusion.

"Hey, you've just arrived, right? I've met you before, otherwise I wouldn't have grabbed you in a hurry. Our Bijar City is not like other places. There are five major gangs here. The Silver Dragon Gang in the city, the Silver Dragon Gang in the south of the city The Tianya Gang, the Black Panther Gang in the west of the city, the Sangyu Gang in the north of the city, and our Yingli Gang in the east of the city! Each gang has its own sphere of influence. Usually, if someone crosses the boundary, what will happen? But it's going to be a big mess. At the least, people who cross the border are killed on the street, and at worst, the two gangs get into a fight." The old man followed Guan Duo patiently and explained.

"Huh? Is there such a thing? But wouldn't it just tear the whole city apart like this? Doesn't the city lord care about it?" Shangguan Duo heard that the city was not what he saw on the surface, but had an undercurrent. He was very excited, but on the surface he still pretended to be confused and asked.

"City Lord? Our city has not had a City Lord for thousands of years. If the leader of the Yingli Gang hadn't fought hard to win this piece of land, we wouldn't be able to live a good life here!" The old man explained, which made Shangguan Duo feel happy. Liu Hua, who was still doubting the accuracy of the map's information just now, is now completely convinced.

"Then, with the five parties separated like this, how can we exchange materials that each other doesn't have? We can't live without communication for the rest of our lives, right?" Shangguan Duo continued to ask.

"Hey, don't worry. We are quite wealthy in the east of the city. In fact, every year, all the gangs will convene for a competition meeting. The winners can directly ask for some supplies from the losers. As long as it is not too excessive, it will be treated as Lucky for you. Our Yingli Gang ranks second every year. Although we lose to the Sangyu Gang, we are still a strong gang!" The old man laughed and explained.

"But such a lottery can't solve the problem at all!" Shangguan Duo was a little strange about the system here. For a monk, a year is just the blink of an eye. Isn't it the same people fighting back and forth every year? If the well water does not interfere with the river water, how can it be maintained for such a long time without any accidents?

"Hahaha, yes, so sometimes there will still be plundering, but that is a task that only professionally trained Yelanzhao can handle!" The old man couldn't help laughing while looking at the confused Shangguan Duo.

"Ye Lanzhi? Didn't you say there are only people from the five major gangs?" Shangguan Duo became even more curious at this time.

"Oh, this is a magical organization. They do not belong to any gang, but they can take over any task assigned by the five major gangs. As long as it is assigned, there is nothing that cannot be completed. It is a pity that no one knows when they were established. Yes, it seems to have appeared suddenly!" At this time, the old man's expression changed slightly, and there was a little fear in his eyes.

"It seems like this place is really dangerous! By the way, old man, why are you not allowed to go out at night?" Shangguan Duo asked curiously, pointing to the sign on the roadside.

"Night is not only a time for Night Walkers to perform tasks, but also a time for gangs to resolve personal grievances. They like to arrange a fight at night, and then clean up the mess and live the same life the next day. After all, no matter how restrained they are, , there will still be some small frictions, we civilians only have a life during the day, and at night, it is the world of gang members!" The old man explained to Shangguan Duo.
