Chapter 759: The Mysterious Old Man
Suddenly, Wu Song felt as if his head had been placed in a blazing furnace, as if it had been steamed.
Wu Song's consciousness was rapidly dissolving, and all his memories were turned out, rolling in his mind in a disorderly manner, and then exiting one by one.
The world became darker and darker in front of Wu Song's eyes, and finally became a gap. When this gap closed, Wu Song's life came to an end.
At this moment, Wu Song suddenly felt the heat in his head disappear all at once.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw the glowing fish surrounding him, all fleeing quickly.
A person came to Wu Song and stretched out a hand to put it on Wu Song's chest. A cool feeling began to spread from Wu Song's chest to his limbs, and wherever that cool feeling went, Wu Song felt very comfortable.
Soon, Wu Song regained his senses. Only then did he see the person in front of him clearly, it was an old man, it was the mysterious old man.
He wasn't wearing anything made by the whale caller that Wu Song was wearing, but his expression was calm and he didn't seem to be in trouble.
The old man grabbed Wu Song with one hand, like an arrow from a string, and took Wu Song to the bottom of the sea.
In an instant, a large piece of light appeared in front of Wu Song's eyes, and it was the undersea city. The old man took Wu Song and landed on a stone next to the underwater city, and then stretched out his hand to gesture to Wu Song.
Wu Song guessed what he meant that he was leaving here and returning to the sea.
Wu Song had many questions to ask the old man, so he tried to keep the old man behind. However, when the old man finished the gesture, he swam away.
Wu Song looked at the back of the old man leaving, and there were countless questions in his heart. However, these questions can only be asked when you meet the old man in the future.
Deep in the depths of the underwater city, a special membrane is wrapped around the outside of the city to resist the seawater.
This membrane is so tough that ordinary people can't pass through it directly. On the membrane, there is a special entrance, and in order to enter the underwater city, you must go to that entrance.
When these things were on land, Wu Song had already learned about them from the maid of the whale caller.
Wu Song looked at the underwater city and saw that there was a very bright place in the northwest corner, and it was estimated that it should be the entrance.
Wu Song swam there, and after swimming there, he found that it was really the entrance.
On the membrane of the underwater city, there is a three-meter square doorway.
Wu Song came to the door, passed through an invisible membrane, and came to a hall. The sea water was cut off, and Wu Song stepped on solid ground.
There was a team of guards in the hall, and when they saw Wu Song coming in from the outside, they all looked surprised.
It's no wonder that Wu Song is now wearing the strange clothes made by the whale callers, and those guards will naturally be surprised when they see it for the first time.
A team of guards came to Wu Song and surrounded him, one of them looked like the captain of the guard, "Who are you?"
Wu Song secretly said that he was rash, he should have thought that there would definitely be guards at the entrance of the underwater city. If he enters rashly, he will definitely be interrogated.
He is a human race, and he is being hunted down by the land government, and now the sea fishing documents must have arrived in the underwater city, only Wu Song takes off the things on his head and reveals his true face, then he will definitely be recognized by those guards.
Seeing that Wu Song did not react, the captain of the guard became vigilant, drew out his steel knife, and said sharply, "Who are you?!"
The other guards also drew their weapons one after another and faced Wu Song.
Wu Song stubbornly took off the things on his head, and at the same time secretly used Yuan Li, ready to do it at any time.
To Wu Song's surprise, after seeing that he was a human race, the attitude of the guard captain softened suddenly, and he wondered, "Are you a scholar in the city?"
Wu Song's mind was racing, and he immediately thought that the other party had mistaken him for someone else, so he nodded quietly.
The captain of the guard said, "But how did you... How..."
Wu Song knew that he was referring to the set of things he was wearing, and said, "This is something that we made together with the whale callers on land, which can allow people to dive into the sea freely, and they can reach the underwater city without relying on whales."
I went up this time to get this thing. ”
After speaking, Wu Song stared at the captain of the guard tightly, wanting to judge by his look that there was no loophole in his words.
The captain of the guard said, "I see, if you want to do something similar next time, please let us know in advance, so as not to cause misunderstandings like today." ”
Wu Song nodded and said, "Can I leave now?"
The captain of the guard said, "Of course, please!"
Wu Song saw that there was an exit on the side of the hall and walked there. Coming out of the exit, there is a forest outside, and overhead, is the blue sea.
This kind of scene is very wonderful, which makes Wu Song feel novel, and at the same time faintly brings him a sense of oppression. Because he knew very well that he was now at the bottom of the sea at nearly 200 meters, he was always worried that the sea water above his head would crush the membrane and drown himself.
A road runs out of the lobby into the woods. Beyond the woods, Wu Song could see a tall building in the distance, which should be the urban area of the undersea city.
Wu Song followed the road and walked into the woods.
On both sides of the road, every few meters, poles are erected, and a fist-sized stone is inlaid with it, which can emit a white light and illuminate the surroundings.
In the underwater city, there is no sunlight, so there are such stones everywhere. This stone is a special mineral found by the scholars of the undersea city from the far north of the Xizhou continent, which can absorb sunlight, store it, and release it in dark places.
It is because of this mineral that trees can grow and form forests in the underwater city.
In addition, crops, fruits and vegetables can also be grown in the underwater city, all thanks to this mineral.
Wu Song walked in the woods, looking behind him from time to time, he still didn't understand why the captain of the guard just now let him in, instead of arresting him, and mistaking him for a scholar.
Therefore, he had been worried that the captain of the guard would suddenly come back and bring someone to arrest him.
Wu Song didn't know that the undersea city was different from the rest of the Xizhou Continent. If Zangsha City is the brain of the demon clan on the Xizhou Continent, then the undersea city is the brain of Zangsha City.
Here are the top scholars from the Xizhou Continent, and these scholars are much more enlightened than ordinary demon races, and they will not regard all human races as enemies because of racial prejudice.
They will appreciate and even respect a human race because of their intellectual achievements.
Therefore, in the underwater city, there are some Terran scholars, who are invited by demon scholars to visit and other activities here.
Because of this, those guards mistook Wu Song for a scholar in the city.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, to go to the underwater city, you need a whale summoner to wake up the whale, and to wake up the whale, you need the approval of the city lord.
And this process often needs to be reported layer by layer, which takes at least two or three days. If it happens that the city lord is busy with other things and doesn't have time, then it may drag on for five or six days.
The government issued a sea capture document for Wu Song and the general wolf in the Tibetan sand city on land, but the sea city had not received the sea capture document at this time, so it did not know that Wu Song was a key criminal who was being hunted down.
Wu Song quickly walked through the woods and came to the city of Underwater City.
Next, he needs to find the city lord of Kewan City and rescue Yun Rong. There must also be an official mansion in the undersea city, and the city lord of Kewan City has a noble status, so he must live in the official mansion.
Wu Song walked down the street for a while, saw a tavern, and went in to find a place to sit down.
Seeing that Wu Song was a human race, and like the captain of the guard, the shopkeeper showed a respectful look and said, "Objective, what do you want to eat?"
The undersea city is a city of learning, and the status of scholars here is very high, whether it is a demon scholar or a human scholar, it is the same.
Wu Song ordered, and then pretended to be inadvertent, "Little brother, where is the official mansion here?"
The shopkeeper looked at Wu Song suspiciously, then showed a sudden look, and said, "You just came here?"
Wu Song nodded.
The shopkeeper smiled, "Then it's no wonder, the government here is easy to find, you go out, keep walking to the center of the city, you can get there." ”
Wu Song said, "How should I get to the center of the city?"
Shopkeeper said with a smile, "There are all the roads here, but the one leading to the center of the city, you just need to find a random road and keep going forward, and you can get there." ”
Wu Song nodded, and when the shopkeeper left, he suddenly remembered that he didn't bring any money.
Anyway, he had already asked where the official mansion was, so Wu Song didn't delay in the tavern, and took advantage of Xiao Er's inattention, came out of the tavern, and walked towards the center of the city.
Along the way, you can see the same scene as the city on the ground, and there are many stalls on the roadside, and pedestrians come and go on the road.
The difference may be the kind of cultural temperament that the city exudes.
A plaque hanging from a small shop on the side of the road, or a painting on a street stall, or a small carving on the clothes worn by a pedestrian, these things look completely different from their counterparts in the land world, and they look very stylish.
The shopkeeper was right, Wu Song walked to the end of the road, and sure enough, he saw a magnificent building.
The building, which was made entirely of stone, looked tall and magnificent, and was supposed to be the seat of the undersea city.
At the main entrance of the government house, there was a guard standing on each side of the gate. Wu Song left the main gate and walked aside.
At first glance, there was only a wall, however, Wu Song could clearly sense that there were several masters hiding in the shadows, and he could sense the power emanating from them.
Wu Song continued to walk around the wall and turned to the back of the official mansion. It's the same place as before, and there are several masters guarding it.
Wu Song walked back to the front door and frowned.
He had to find a way to enter the official mansion and check to see if Yun Rong was inside. Now the question was how? He could pretend to be the scholar the captain of the guard and see if he could get in.
