Volume 2 The Dance of the Demon Crowd in the Imperial Capital Chapter 56 The Inn (1)
Diqiu, one of the seventeen capitals of the Xia Dynasty. Three thousand years ago, it was also a prosperous city, and perhaps it was also the economic and cultural center of China at that time. The first to build the capital here, and then Zhongkang ruled the people here, and then Xia Xiang inherited the throne here, these famous figures in history have beaten their fiery hearts and swayed their ambitions here. Time flies, and the past is like smoke. Today's Emperor Hill is only a shabby and dilapidated ruins, and people today can't even get a glimpse of the entire capital from the dilapidated ruins.
Today's Diqiu site is located close to the junction of Shandong and Henan, and the Yellow River is not far to the east. On the edge of the Yellow River, which is surging for thousands of miles, stands a boulder five or six meters high. The years have left mottled marks on the boulder, but it is amazing that after thousands of years, the boulder has never sunk to the bottom of the river. When the river rises, it rises, and when the river falls, it falls, which is really strange.
The black cat lay in front of the boulder, facing the boiling Yellow River, and the wind violently ruffled his supple black hair. He lay motionless, squinting as if in deep thought.
"How do I get in?"
The black cat groaned for a moment, stood up and turned into a human form, stretched out his hand and stuck it to the boulder, and crossed into a true qi, and a faint yellow light flashed away on the boulder.
The black cat frowned, this boulder is the gateway to the inn, and the space formation of the witch path is laid in it, if you want to enter, you have to know the way to open the formation. The black cat has just tried to transition into true qi, and it seems that this method will not work.
There should be a special method of opening. The black cat thought so, and the boulder suddenly lit up again, and the black cat was startled, and jumped back in an instant, dodging some distance, only to see the surface of the boulder rippling like ripples on the water surface, and a man in ancient costume walked out of it.
He was about twenty years old, about the same age as Ying Cang Ji Tian and the others, he looked at the black cat, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he followed the vigilance: the lich has been making a lot of trouble recently, maybe the black cat is a thug sent by the lich.
He asked the black cat, "Who are you, what are you doing here?"
The black cat thought to himself that if he was still being chased and killed by them, if he reported his real name at this time, he was afraid that there would be another fight, so he said: "Entrusted by the night watchman, I came here to find Mr. Wu Xu to tell him about a big matter." ”
"What's the big deal?" the black cat didn't name, and the man was still vigilant.
"The Lich Protector and the Nightmaro Secret Merchant are in turmoil, and they are about to act. "Black cat.
"The Lich Clan's Dharma Protector and the Nightfish Clan's secret merchant must be extremely hidden, how do you know?"
"I sneaked into the Nightray Lair and stumbled upon it. ”
"Could it be such a coincidence?The Nightfish Lair is dangerous everywhere, what are you doing sneaking in, and you can also happen to meet their secret business, and you can still run to report the news unharmed?" The man looked around more vigilantly, trying to see if there was anyone lying in ambush nearby.
"It's such a coincidence. The black cat spread his hands: "No one believes it, I don't believe it myself." But that's what happened. ”
"Do I look like a good deceit?" said the man.
The black cat was in trouble, and he couldn't explain it clearly. So let's act in the usual style, with his right hand into a claw, he shot out in an instant, grabbed the man, and said sharply: "Take me in!"
"You're really with the lich!" the man grabbed his arm and bent down to curse, "I won't take you in if I die!"
The black cat said coldly: "Then you will die!" After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped the back of his head, the man exclaimed, and took advantage of the gap when the black cat let go of one hand, and hurriedly broke free and ran towards the boulder.
"Don't try to escape!" shouted the black cat from behind. The man heard this and ran faster, and the seal on his hand was quickly formed, and in the blink of an eye he came to the boulder, and the handprint slapped at the boulder, and the boulder lit up with yellow light, and half of the man's arm dived into the boulder, and the next second his whole person was about to completely escape into it.
At this time, the black cat rushed into the boulder at lightning speed, and did not forget to say to the man as he passed him: "You are really easy to deceive." ”
The man's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily, "Despicable!"
The moment the man put his handprint on the boulder, the portal opened, so the black cat broke in at the same time as he opened it.
After entering the boulder, I came to the inside of the inn. It looked like a big stone from the outside, but from the inside of the inn it looked like an oval stone door, and in the middle of the door was something like a white void.
As soon as the black cat landed, he quickly looked around at the environment here, and his expression was full of shock: "This is another world!"
The inn that the black cat originally imagined was another small space attached to the normal world, like the space cave opened up by the legendary ancient powers, it was almost as big as a small town, but after he saw it with his own eyes, he had to completely overturn his guess.
The sky here seems to be infinitely high, infinitely far away, with clusters of clouds flowing with the wind, and occasionally unknown big birds flying by, and the melodious chirping of the earth; the land is full of ancient buildings and old villages, and as far as the eye can see, there are rolling green mountains and winding rivers, and the earth is infinitely wide at a glance.
"The Lich has broken in!" the man entered, and with a loud roar called the black cat back in shock.
"Sleep!" the black cat slashed at his neck with a swing of his knife, knocking him unconscious.
The black cat's eyes were raised, and suddenly there was a small pavilion next to the stone gate behind the left, and there was a person standing in the pavilion, looking at himself with a shocked face, and the one who was lying on the ground and fell asleep.
"Uh......" The black cat scratched its head in annoyance, could it be that this person had to be knocked unconscious?
The man in the pavilion was originally guarding the entrance in the pavilion with the sleeping man on the ground, and when the black cat crossed the true qi into the boulder, they saw a slight glow from the stone door in the inn, so one of them went out to see what the situation was, but after going out for a while, he brought in a stranger, and he was knocked unconscious by this stranger.
The man in the pavilion was stunned for a moment, and quickly rang a big bell hanging outside the pavilion. The "Duang ......" bell rang far away and reverberated endlessly.
The black cat gasped, it's broken!
In the distance of the city, more than a dozen people jumped on the roof of the house in an instant, and two of them were old men in robes, who came to them like a fast wind.
Two old men, this is the legendary inn ancient witch The black cat did not dare to be careless, his nerves were tense, his true qi was running, and a layer of bright silver lightning was attached to his body.
The witch was the first to arrive, and he only glanced at the man lying on the ground, and then swept his big sleeve towards the black cat's neck.
The black cat felt the fierce strength in the old man's bulging sleeves, and retreated with lightning speed.
"It's so fast. Wu Cheng swept the air with a sleeve, and then looked at the black cat's eyes and finally became solemn.
As soon as the black cat dodged this sweep, Wu Wei behind him also arrived and slapped at the black cat.
Behind the black cat is the stone gate, and if you retreat, you will go out. As soon as he gritted his teeth, the thunder spell was urged, and lightning quickly gathered on his palms, and thunderbolts hit Wu Wei's palms with a thunderclap.
With a bang, a half-inch-deep footprint trail dragged out under the black cat's feet, and Wu Wei also took a few steps back, his expression slightly more solemn.
