Chapter 220: A Strange City
Now Jiang Hao, his soul strength is much stronger than Huang Sui, so when the Sword Gu Abyss extends out of the rift, he can remind Huang Sui to burn the curse on his body, and he can also prevent Huang Sui from contacting the curse in advance.
Therefore, the moment Jiang Hao's divine sense touched the veteran, Jiang Hao noticed that the veteran's body was covered with invisible and untouchable black silk threads, which had the same origin as the curse in the abyss, which made his heart tremble, as if he had sensed something bad.
Of course, he didn't show it at all, but his heart was shocked, and he was still indifferent on the surface, because he couldn't figure out the depth of this veteran.
"This veteran is definitely not simple. ”
Jiang Hao narrowed his eyes, raised his vigilance to the highest, and his whole body was as tense as a bowstring, if the old man had a trouble, he would react as soon as possible.
"Two little friends, they are really young geniuses, they look like they are only twenty or thirty years old, and they dare to set foot on the snowfield and go north alone, it is really amazing, if I had your courage back then, I would definitely not become a city protection veteran now......"
Suddenly, the old man made a dull sound, turned his head to look at Jiang Hao, and smiled at Jiang Hao, causing goosebumps all over Jiang Hao's body, and he was almost about to jump back.
"It's here...... When you enter the city, you will be answered. ”
Before the three of them walked to the city gate, the old man slowly pushed the city gate open and motioned for Jiang Hao and Huang Sui to enter.
"Thank you, old-timers. ”
Huang then bowed his hand to the veteran, glanced at Jiang Hao, as if he had strengthened his courage, took a big stride, and walked towards the city.
Jiang Hao frowned, glanced at the old man again, and still couldn't see the reality and reality, so he had to follow Huang Sui into the city gate.
"Bang!"
With a dull sound, when Jiang Hao just stepped into the city gate cave, the city gate behind him was immediately closed, which made Jiang Hao and Huang Sui both startled, and hurriedly looked back.
"Poof!"
A few slight noises came, and a few torches on the wall in the city gate cave were quietly lit, Jiang Hao and Huang turned around in horror, but saw a young man dressed in a cyan scholar's appearance, looking extremely weak, standing up from behind the table next to him, his face pale, and smiling weakly at the two.
"I didn't expect that it was rare to be able to welcome two distinguished guests from the Binglan Sect at such a late hour. ”
The young man spoke slowly, with a weak smile on his face, picked up a dim lantern and walked towards the city.
"Come with me, two. ”
In the dim light, the young man's face generally fell into darkness, and was generally illuminated by a lantern, but he still had that weak smile on his face, which made Jiang Hao and Huang Sui both awe-inspired.
Huang Sui said that after all, he was a big grinning and carefree master, and he was a master of art, so he hesitated a little, and then followed the young man and walked out of the city gate.
But Jiang Hao's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and for some reason, this Qixi City, the veteran guarding the gate just now, and the scholar and young man who took him in, all gave him a serious sense of disobedience, as well as a sense of oppression that almost made him breathless.
And in this sense of disobedience and oppression, Jiang Hao felt a deep sense of crisis, which was slowly flowing out of his limbs and every pore, making his whole person feel a strangeness that was almost terrifying.
"What's the matter, guest, here?"
Just when he was a little hesitant, the scholar young man turned around, smiled at Jiang Hao, and said a little weakly, which made Jiang Hao's cold hairs stand upside down, and he looked at the young man with some surprise.
"I'm in the city anyway, no matter how weird it is, can it be more than that ancient ghost?"
Jiang Hao gritted his teeth, thinking of the ancient ghost who had broken through the Sword Emperor Divine Stone, he finally made up his mind and walked into the city.
"The sunrise and the sunset are not very appropriate for the inhabitants of our northern regions, because we don't see the sun all year round. ”
The weak young man smiled, "However, it is still very appropriate for us in Qixi City, it is getting late now, so many residents have already fallen asleep, let's be quiet, don't disturb the residents." ”
All around, there are wooden buildings, which look even more gloomy under the reflection of the lantern firelight, and the ground made of deep ink rock makes people form an illusion, as if under their feet is an abyss.
"If you don't have good hospitality, please bear with me, and let me take you to a resting place. ”
The young man stretched out his hand, and flames burst out of the torches on the buildings, and although the light was not very strong, it illuminated the surroundings.
"The bonfire in the city will not be lit for the two of you, for fear of disturbing the residents, don't mind. ”
The young man turned around and grinned, revealing his white teeth, so that Huang Sui and Jiang Hao, who were slowly following behind, were silent for a while, and then nodded.
"Senior brother, there is obviously a fire, but why do you feel that this place is colder than the snowfield outside?"
Huang Sui glanced at the surrounding buildings, shuddered, his expression was a little solemn, and said in Jiang Hao's ear.
"Yes, I feel it too. ”
Jiang Hao nodded, he even took out a spirit grass and held it in his hand, wanting to swallow it at the necessary moment, and escape with Huang Sui as quickly as possible.
"You don't have to panic, it's because of our architecture. ”
The young man shook his head, stood outside a two-story house, and knocked softly on the door, the crisp sound, echoing in the silent night sky, seemed a little weird.
The wooden door squeaked, and it was opened from the inside, and a rickety old man walked out slowly, although there were torches and lanterns shining in the fire, but the old man's body was still shrouded in a layer of shadows.
"Uncle, I have sent you two guests, please entertain them, they are both from the Binglan Sect and have distinguished status. ”
The young man bowed to the old man, and after the old man heard the young man say this, he was even more surprised, glanced at Huang Sui and Jiang Hao, and said with a slow smile: "Since this is the case, then the guests will follow me into the house to rest, it is late, it is better for the guests to rest early." ”
Just when Huang Sui wanted to open his mouth to agree, Jiang Hao took a step forward and stopped Huang Sui directly, then glanced at the two of them coldly, and sneered: "Two, I think your hospitality is indeed very inconsiderate." ”
"Why did the guest say that?"
The weak young man and the old man were both stunned, and after glancing at each other, the young man hurriedly asked.
"Boom!"
With a crisp sword roar, when the sword light shone, the long sword in Jiang Hao's waist was already unsheathed and forced on the neck of the weak young man.
"You should know why you say this. ”
Jiang Hao said lightly, the body protector Yuan Gang was propped up by him, and even the defensive enchantment was completely activated, enveloping him and Huang Sui.
"The northern region is generally shrouded in snow clouds, and it is cloudy when there is no wind and snow, but why, the bright moon that is not there outside is hanging high in your Qixi City, and the clear light is scattered?"
