Chapter 562: The VIP status of the Water Avoiding Divine Bead
"Boom—"
With the sound of the city gate opening not far away, I saw that the people who had been pointing at me and talking about it had no time to care about my existence, and they all surrounded their children with reverent faces and began to walk towards the city gate in an orderly manner.
In this regard, I am also relieved, after all, I came here after faking my death, and it will be troublesome if someone recognizes that I am actually the eldest grandson of the emperor imprisoned on an isolated island.
Of course, I knew in my heart that this was a relatively small possibility.
Because I have never left the Imperial City since I was a child, and it is rare for me to even leave the palace to go around the Imperial City, so the people who have really seen me can be regarded as a rare existence.
Not to mention Phantom Moon City, which is so far away from the Imperial City, but today is actually a ten-year Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony, so it's hard to say.
Maybe there will be people from the imperial city who will bring their children to participate in the opening ceremony, especially if you enter the city for a while, you will not be able to meet the dignitaries of the imperial city, and if any one of them recognizes me, then my plan to fake my death will be a complete failure.
Once the news that I am alive reaches the imperial city, and then it is hyped up by people with intentions, not only will I face the fate of being hunted down by the whole country next, but even my father will be implicated because of this.
Naturally, such an ending is unacceptable to me, so in line with the idea of carefully sailing the ship of ten thousand years, I also plan to keep a low profile, as inconspicuous as possible, blend in with one of the teams with the largest number of escorts for children, and walk towards the city gate together.
"Stop! Where's your family?"
When I followed the group escorting a girl to the gate of the city, trying to get through the gates, I was stopped by the guards guarding the city, and was questioned by an arrogant and indifferent guard.
"Oh, I'm the Extreme Yin Body, so I didn't let my family escort me. ”
I said casually.
I've heard other people talk about the Extreme Yin Body before, so I'll use this as an excuse to see if I can get in.
"It turns out that he is the body of the extreme yin, no wonder he dares to come alone!"
"I see, what a lucky boy. ”
"But I heard that it was not unheard of in previous years that the child of the Extreme Yin Body died in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony because he was not escorted by his family, so this child's family is still too confident, right?"
"yes, yes, I've heard that, too. ”
After listening to my answer to the guard, the rest of the family behind me began to talk again.
And I had to play dumb silently, and secretly hoped that the guard would be accommodating and let me into the city.
"Even if you are an extreme yin body, you can resist the invasion of yin qi without escort, so you can't enter the city casually? Because if you want to enter the city, you must show your official status, or someone in the city is willing to come forward to vouch for you to enter the city, otherwise even if you enter the city, you are not qualified to participate in the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony. ”
The guard replied reluctantly.
Hearing him say this, I remembered that the person who led the family that entered the city before did show a stack of documents, and it should obviously be the so-called official registration.
I thought to myself that this is a trouble, because my official registration should be in the hands of my father in the palace, and I can't get it out at this moment.
And even if I have it with me, I can't show it.
After all, my official status belongs to the royal family, once it is revealed, won't everyone know that I, the eldest grandson of the emperor, are still alive?
As for finding someone in the city to vouch for me, I can't do that.
Let's not talk about whether I have relatives or friends in this city, and even if I do, who would dare to come forward to help me, a person who was imprisoned by the Holy Order, prove my identity?
Wouldn't that help the fugitives?
What's more, I'm already a dead person to the outside world, so it's absolutely impossible for me to provide an official status.
"Will you be able to prove your identity? If not, get out of the way, and don't delay the people behind you to enter the city?"
Seeing that I was silent, the guard urged impatiently.
"Yes, child, why don't you find another way to contact the people in the city to vouch for you? It won't help you to be stunned here? Don't delay my child from entering the city, or the time will come to close the city gates, and we will come in vain." ”
A middle-aged man behind me said approvingly.
Just when I listened to the words of the guards and the man behind me, and quickly thought about how to enter the city, I suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when I was in the cave on the island, the shark couple had given me a dark blue water-repelling divine pearl, saying that it could be used as a VIP identity certificate when entering and leaving major cities in the Tianlong Continent.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly and quietly turned the wrench on my thumb, and after silently reciting the mantra in my mouth, I quickly took out the water-repellent bead placed in the wrench storage space.
"Oh, that's right, I was in a hurry when I came, and I forgot to bring my official registration. But I still have a bead that can prove my identity, I wonder if I can make an exception and let me into the city?"
As I spoke, I handed the water-repellent orb in my palm to the guard.
As a result, as soon as I showed the orb, the guard had not yet spoken, and the others behind me were talking excitedly again.
"Wow! Water Avoidance Divine Bead! Oh my God! What is the origin of this child? Not only is it the body of the Extreme Yin, but it also has the Water Avoidance Divine Bead that only the royal relatives and relatives can have!"
"So this is the legendary water-avoiding pearl?
"This kid is really low-key, he looks very plainly dressed, but he didn't expect to be a relative of the emperor!"
"I've heard that this kind of divine bead is no problem to enter the palace, let alone enter the major cities!"
……
"I'm sorry, this son, just now the little one didn't know Taishan, and I would like to invite the son Haihan! If you had already shown this divine pearl, there would be no need to queue up to enter the city, you know, you are the guest of our Phantom Moon City, how can you not let you enter the city?
The guard looked at the water-avoiding bead in my hand with a surprised expression, and then hurriedly said with extreme guilt.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, don't blame those who don't know. Thank you then. ”
I said with a faint smile, and walked generously towards the city.
"No thanks, no thanks, son, go slowly. ”
The guard behind me shouted respectfully again.
As I walked forward, I thought to myself that I was fortunate to have rescued the shark couple, otherwise I would have missed the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony today.
After playing with the water bead for a while while while walking, I temporarily put the bead into the storage space in my finger and walked forward at a faster pace.
Because I didn't know where I was at the moment, how far away it was from the place of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Enlightenment Ceremony in the center of the city, so for the sake of safety, in the spirit of I'd rather be early than late, I overtook the others, constantly shuttling through the crowd, and hurrying as fast as I could.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the sky completely darkened, and soon only a bright moon hung in the sky.
During this time, I also paid attention to the other people around me, and found that the more they walked, the more nervous and serious they looked, and the slower and slower they walked, as if there was an invisible resistance forcing them to walk fast.
Even I saw that some people's bodies were trembling a little, and the sound of silently chanting the mantra in their mouths became louder and louder.
However, I didn't feel anything, and I continued to move forward quickly.
After walking for an hour or so, I found that the crowd around me gradually became sparse, and people kept collapsing to the ground on the way, and a small number of people never got up again.
At first, it was the adults who were escorting the children who fell, but when the adults who were escorting the children fell, the child also fell.
Of course, I once closed my eyes and used my soul clairvoyance ability to take a closer look, and found that most of those who fell were just physically exhausted, trembling on their knees and trembling, and only a few of them withered and died there bloodless.
Obviously, he was unable to resist the invasion of Yin Qi and had unfortunately died.
But there are still some children who are escorted by adults around them, and they are walking forward with difficulty.
I was the only one who walked forward quickly and easily, which also attracted the extremely surprised and jealous eyes of the others.
Especially the children who were kneeling on the ground were even more unwilling to stare at my back, trying to get up and continue walking, but they still staggered and fell.
And not only was I alone, not escorted by an adult who was silently reciting the mantra in my mouth, but I also hurried forward quickly with a very relaxed look, and from time to time I surpassed the children who were escorted by a large number of people, how could I not make them feel envious.
In this regard, my own explanation is that after all, I am the identity of the master of the underworld, and I have already cultivated the underworld to the Mahayana realm, so I can resist the so-called invasion of yin qi so easily.
Along the way, in order to conserve soul power, I didn't turn on the soul clairvoyance ability for a long time, but only opened it every once in a while, just to find out how far away I was from the center of the city.
My thought was that as long as the city center was within the clairvoyance of my soul, it would mean that there were still ten kilometers left, and I knew the bottom of my mind.
If it's still early at midnight, I won't have to rush as fast as I do now, I can walk slowly, as long as I arrive on time.
In this way, you can also properly conserve your physical strength, which should also be of great benefit to the following opening ceremony.
After walking for about an hour, I finally saw the city center through my soul clairvoyance ability, which means that I was still ten kilometers away from my destination, so I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down, and leisurely continued to walk with my eyes closed while checking the city center.
I saw that there was a huge square in the center of the city, and there was a high platform made of white jade in the center of the square, and there was a waterhole in the middle of the high platform, and there was a bright moon reflected in the middle of the water.
As for the other children and a small number of adults escorting them, they had already arrived at the outskirts of the square, and were sitting on the ground resting, their mouths still silently chanting the Lock Yang Mantra, and their expressions continued to be highly tense, obviously worried that if they slacked off, they might lose their efforts.
Now that I had the bottom in my heart, I opened my eyes, stretched my waist, and continued to walk forward......
