Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 508: To find Plum Blossom Manor, go to Tai'an Town

"Ding! The flight to Chengdu, flight K9285, is about to take off. Passengers going to Chengdu, please go to Gate 4 to prepare for boarding..."

In the waiting hall, Xiao Ran looked through the glass window and saw the large plane outside the door with the words "Chun Du" painted on it. He couldn't help but feel dazed.

After returning home that night, Xiao Ran began to prepare for going to Shu.

For this reason, he went to find Sister Liu to ask about the information of Plum Blossom Manor. Unfortunately, Sister Liu didn't know much. She only knew that the place seemed to be near Qingcheng Mountain.

So after entering Sichuan, I have to go to the vicinity of Qingcheng Mountain to look for it.

"Just know the location, and then slowly look for the rest. There will always be clues."

I was the first to board the plane through the first-class VIP channel. There were not many people on this flight, and the seats in the front of the first-class cabin were just soft sofa seats. The difference compared to ordinary seats was that the seats were more spacious and I could stretch my legs.

So...the first-class cabin on TV? Where is it? Xiao Ran didn't see it.

It was Xiao Ran's first time to take a plane. After fastening his seat belt under the guidance of the flight attendant, Xiao Ran became unconsciously nervous.

This kind of tension is ridiculous to talk about.

After Xiao Ran sat down, he actually felt as if his entire life was entrusted to someone else.

It seemed as if his life and death were in the hands of the captain. If any accident happened to the plane, his chances of survival would not be much better than that of an ordinary person on the same plane.

When this thought came to Xiao Ran's mind, his body involuntarily stiffened.

At this time, a chocolate was handed over.

Xiao Ran was startled. It was a boy sitting next to her who handed it to her.

"This is your first time on a plane. I see the backs of your hands are sweating. Eat some chocolate to relieve the sweat."

The boy was not very old, probably around 25 years old, wearing black-framed glasses, was chubby, had a round face and a beard, and from his accent he seemed to be from Los Angeles.

"Thank you."

Xiao Ran took the chocolate, but didn't eat it. He just held it in his hand.

The little fat man smiled and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Ran: "Everyone calls me Little Renzong, what's your name?"

"Renzong??"

Xiao Ran squinted at the little fat boy, hesitated for a few seconds, and stretched out his hand: "My name is Durian."

"So it's a fruit pie. My apologies."

The code was confirmed, Xiao Ran and the little fat boy looked at each other, and their eyes were no longer as strange as before.

It’s strange to say, no matter you are in the maze or in reality, as long as you exchange a secret code face to face, the barriers between you will disappear a lot.

It's like two strangers offering each other cigarettes.

The little fat man said with a smile: "So you are the senior from Fruit Pie. I am so sorry for the disrespect."

"Fruit pie??"

It was the first time that Xiao Ran heard of someone dividing things this way, but he was even more surprised at how the other party recognized him as a beginner, so he asked, "How did you know I'm a beginner, and what does this fruit pie mean?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The fat boy calmly pointed at the armrest in Xiao Ran's hand. Xiao Ran took a look and saw that he had left a hand mark on the armrest. His face turned red. He didn't expect that his secret would be exposed like this.

"As for fruit pie, it's a term that has become popular recently."

The fat boy took out his cell phone and clicked on a large picture with a list on it.

Xiao Ran took a closer look and immediately understood.

I don't know which enthusiastic person compiled this table, but according to this table, all beginners are divided into tea faction, tobacco and alcohol faction, fruit faction, history faction, animation faction, idol faction, etc.

Based on the faction, a lot of information can be discerned based on this table.

For example, people from the tea faction have the longest seniority, people from the tobacco and alcohol faction are relatively older, and people from the fruit faction are mostly the backbone of the relatively strong forces in the maze city, and so on.

Of course, these are just references and cannot be said to be true and effective.

But if we compare most of them, at least the success rate is still quite high. In addition to the above-mentioned factions, there is also an older faction, which is the Jianghu faction.

The people in this underworld sect use underworld jargon that ordinary people, even beginners, can't understand.

People from this faction are relatively rare, but if you meet them, you must be extremely careful. These people are all old monsters who became initiates long ago. They are very dangerous. If you meet them, run as far away as you can and never have any inappropriate thoughts.

Xiao Ran looked at the warnings in the list in the picture and admired the person who made this list. It was quite difficult to organize and summarize such things to provide a reference standard for other beginners.

At this time, the plane started to start.

It was fine when Xiao Ran used the spiritual robe to fly before, but when the plane started, the feeling still made Xiao Ran's heart beat faster.

Xiao Ran gradually calmed down from this feeling only after the plane took off and stabilized.

"Hehe, it seems that you still don't fly enough. You will get used to it if you fly more often in the future." Xiao Renzong comforted Xiao Ran, and then he asked Xiao Ran curiously; "Durian, are you planning to travel to Bashu? I am very familiar with that place. If you need anything, just ask."

If this was a maze city, and there was someone so enthusiastic towards him, Xiao Ran guessed that the other person was most likely after money or to kill him.

But this is the reality. Although the large-scale emergence of beginners has led to more and more social chaos, it is still within the legal framework.

Even if you are a beginner, you need to think twice before doing anything extraordinary.

Besides, Xiao Ran looked at the black swan brooch on his chest from time to time. When he was sure that the other party really had no ill will towards him, he explained: "I was just in a bad mood, so I came out to relax and planned to walk around a few scenic spots here."

"Ha, I see. I'll recommend a few places to you. You must go and have a look, such as this hot pot restaurant, Chongqing Hot Pot..."

On the plane, Xiao Renzong shared various food and scenic spots along the way, making Xiao Ran feel that time passed very quickly.

In just a blink of an eye, the plane began to land.

As soon as the plane came to a complete stop, the two of them got off the plane first. Xiao Renzong handed Xiao Ran a business card and said, "If you need anything, just give me a call. I'm famous for making friends, so don't hesitate."

Xiao Ran took a look at the business card. There was no name on it, only a phone number and a sentence: "To be A Bao, the fault is not in appearance, but in oneness."

After reading this, Xiao Ran looked up at Xiao Renzong in surprise, but he had already disappeared in the crowd.

"So he is Po."

What is Abao? This is a code word in the underworld.

They are a group of con artists who target people by fortune-telling and face-reading, called the Jiang Xiang School.

"Jiang" refers to the rivers and lakes, and "Xiang" refers to the prime minister.

In short, they are the prime ministers in the underworld, who usually use the name of physiognomy and divination to analyze the people who believe in them and then defraud them.

The following sentence "The fault lies not in the appearance, but in the unity"

What this sentence means is that Abao set up a trap to deceive people, and the fault is not his, but yours.

The scammers take advantage of people’s greed. If you are not greedy, you won’t be fooled.

Generally speaking, this school does not target ordinary people, and claims to be acting on behalf of heaven, but it uses unfair means to deal with unfair people.

"This guy is quite interesting. I'll go visit him someday and learn from his methods."

There are thousands of scams, and although it seems that there are only a few tricks, in fact, they are ever-changing. Even in today's era, thousands of scams are not outdated at all, and even keep pace with the times, making it difficult to guard against. Xiao Ran is really curious about what methods such a person who was born as a swindler will use after becoming a beginner.

However, these things still need to wait. The most important thing right now is to find Plum Blossom Manor as soon as possible.

It is not only a matter between himself and Plum Blossom Taoist, but also a messy account between the Underworld and Plum Blossom Taoist that needs to be settled.

He left the airport and took a car directly towards Qingcheng Mountain.

On the way, he took out his mobile phone to look up information about Qingcheng Mountain. The words "the ancestral home of Taoism", "the number one cave in the world", etc. appeared in front of Xiao Ran.

We took the bus all the way there, and by the time we arrived at the place, it was already dark.

The whole day was spent on the road, and even sitting in the car all the way was very tiring. However, Xiao Ran did not look for a hotel to stay in, but instead took advantage of the night to head straight for Qingcheng Mountain.

Compared to daytime, night is the best time for Xiao Ran to take action.

Xiao Ran was seen climbing over the wall lightly without making any sound. With such a high level of lightness skill, in reality, he would be the best among the best and could be called an unrivaled master.

But even so, Xiao Ran did not dare to be careless at all.

After all, this is the ancestral home of Taoism. Even in the inconspicuous Guanlin Temple, there are the bald master and Master Shugu of the Longmen Mountain Quanzhen Taoism. Although he has never seen Master Shugu take action, there is no doubt that he is a man of real ability.

Now that he has come to a place like the Taoist ancestral temple, Xiao Ran would never believe that there is no master in charge there. He just came here to find out about Meihua Manor, not to challenge others. If he meets someone, then he meets them. The worst that can happen is that he will just leave.

With this mentality, Xiao Ran walked up the mountain road.

The mountain road in Qingcheng Mountain was not difficult to walk on. Xiao Ran's steps were light and he arrived at the mountain gate in just a few minutes.

In front of the mountain gate with red bricks and black tiles, there are two straight thousand-year-old trees, which make people look up along the steps.

This place looked familiar to Xiao Ran. After thinking carefully, he realized that the Wuzhuang Temple and Fangcun Mountain in Journey to the West were filmed here.

This is enough to show the essence of the world's number one cave.

The door was closed at the moment. Xiao Ran wanted to climb over the wall to go in, but before he could move, the door opened with a click.

A young Taoist priest walked out of the door, raised his head, looked around for a while, as if he was waiting for someone.

Xiao Ran hid himself quickly and looked at the little Taoist priest in confusion.

The two of them were in a stalemate for about ten minutes. The young Taoist priest became a little impatient. He took out a letter from his sleeve and stuck it in the crack of the door. He closed the door and walked back.

Xiao Ran walked to the door, looked at the letter on the door crack, and opened the envelope with doubts. He saw a line of words written in black and white on the paper: "If you want to find Meihua Manor, go to Tai'an Town..."
