The walls are hollow, and the first floors are connected to each other, and at intervals, there is an ascending staircase leading to the upper floor.

After entering the city wall, Jiang Hong and the others took Ji Chen to the right, while Jiang Qi led Nanfeng and Yuan Anning in the opposite direction.

Seeing Nanfeng looking back, Jiang Qi said, "There are many things in the clan waiting for my father to deal with, and my father has already explained it, and I will greet you." ”

"Oh. Nanfeng replied casually, Jiang Qi was naturally not telling the truth, Jiang Hong must have convened important people in the clan to discuss the matter, and the discussion was undoubtedly how to treat him and Yuan Anning, two outsiders of unknown origin.

Everyone enters the city and walks through the east gate, to the left is to the south, when walking, you can see the Xuan people from time to time, these people have different bloodlines and different levels of spiritual energy cultivation, but not everyone wears a close-fitting water backing, most of them wear a shape of the * leather jacket, the color is mixed, when it is made of different animal fur sewing piecework.

These people have a lot of respect for Jiang Qi, and they will salute respectfully when they meet her, and at the same time, they will also cast suspicious glances at Nanfeng and Yuan Anning.

It is not surprising that the strange expression of the Xuan clan Nanfeng is not surprised, there are no outsiders here on weekdays, and when they suddenly see outsiders, doubts are inevitable, but these people are a little curious in addition to doubts, and there is no strong hostility and rejection.

Obviously, Jiang Qi didn't want more people to see Nanfeng and Yuan Anning, so he took the two of them to walk quickly, and he didn't stop when he met the clansmen halfway, let alone introduce the two to them.

After half a pillar of incense, Jiang Qi stopped, followed an ascending staircase, and went to the second floor.

Nanfeng didn't follow immediately, and Jiang Qi led the two to the second floor, which meant that she didn't want to take the two of them underground, at least not for now.

Seeing that he hesitated, Yuan Anning glanced at him and motioned for him to follow Jiang Qi.

Nanfeng then climbed the stairs, and Jiang Qi came to the second floor of the city wall, there are many rooms on the second floor, the room has no door, just a thick animal skin curtain, according to the interval of the curtains, these rooms are of different sizes, the big one is the size of two houses in Middle Earth, and the small one is only five steps square.

Jiang Qi led the two of them into one of the larger rooms, "This is my residence, and the two of you have been wronged here for two days." ”

Yuan Anning and Dao Xie, while Nanfeng looked around and looked at the layout of the room, if Jiang Qi didn't say it, it was difficult for him to imagine that this was a woman's boudoir, the furnishings here were simple, extremely simple, there were few living utensils, there was an ice bed in the corner, there was a simple cover on it, there were a few white animal skins hanging on the left and right walls, there were a few metal spears in the corner, there was an iron bow hanging on the wall on the right hand side of the door, and the arrows in the quiver were also ice arrows made of icicles, when there were more than a dozen.

Jiang Qi introduced the two into the room, and instead called a young Xuan woman, ordering her to prepare tea and food, and he accompanied the two to sit and talk at the ice table in the room.

With Nanfeng's nod and permission, Yuan Anning rushed to Jiang Qi to roughly explain what had happened, and she said it clearly enough, but Jiang Qi didn't understand it very well, because she didn't know anything about the situation in Middle-earth, and some of the things Yuan Anning said were difficult for her to understand, like a blind man listening to thunder.

Of course, there are doubts, but I can always hear a general idea, Nanfeng is a god, and some other gods need to choose a person from the Xuan clan to participate in the war, if the person who participates in the war wins, he will become a god with similar strength to Nanfeng.

Jiang Qi didn't fully believe what Yuan Anning said, because it was difficult for her to understand Nanfeng's motives for doing this, if she won the competition, the benefits would be for the people who participated in the battle, and Nanfeng worked so hard that she ended up empty-handed.

If you want Jiang Qi to understand that Nanfeng is doing this for the sake of the common people in the world, it is even more difficult to avoid being exploited and enslaved by Heaven and the underworld, there are people with this kind of compassionate heart and selfless realm, but no matter how you look at it, Nanfeng does not look like this kind of person.

Sometimes strength is the most powerful explanation, it is too difficult to convince Jiang Qi of Nanfeng's character, but it is easy to make her believe in Nanfeng's strength, Nanfeng has broken mountains and opened the way before, and a person with such a powerful ability can also overthrow the Xuan clan with a raise of his hand, but Nanfeng didn't do that, why not do that, there is only one reasonable explanation: he is a good person, although he doesn't act like it, but he is.

Jiang Qi agreed with Yuan Anning's explanation, and then asked about the details of Nanfeng's bet with Da Luo Jin Xian, whether it was okay not to send someone to fight, and if he sent someone to fight, would he be retaliated against by Da Luo Jin Xian afterwards, etc.

These questions were answered by Yuan Anning, and Nanfeng had nothing to do, conjuring out the bed and futon from the other side, reclining on it, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Not long after, someone sent tea and food, the tea turned out to be really tea, which was not expected by the south wind before, in this far north of the ice land there will be tea leaves, these tea leaves are boiled very badly, it is impossible to boil like this in such a short time, as expected, it should have been steamed in a large pot before, for many people to drink to ward off the cold, people just went to scoop some back.

The food consists of two bowls of porridge, the main ingredient is the meat of an animal, and the auxiliary ingredient is a grain similar to corn.

Nanfeng was curious, so he brought it over and tasted it, it was a little fishy and salty. If you drink tea again, it is not delicious, it is astringent and bitter.

"Where does this salt come from?" asked Nanfeng.

"There's salt water under the ice, which can be steamed. Jiang Qi replied.

"How can there be tea trees here?" asked Nanfeng again, he had visited Jiang Tianshun in Yongzhou before, and according to him, according to his mother's early relay, there seemed to be no vegetation in northern Xinjiang, so he would only ask the horses in confusion after seeing them what they fed on. But when I came here, I found that this is not the case, there are not only plants and trees here, but also tea trees.

"The ancestors brought seeds from southern Xinjiang in their early years. Jiang Qi said.

"So, your ancestors were ready to come here to multiply when they set out from Middle-earth?" asked Southwind.

Jiang Qi didn't answer, she didn't like to talk to Nanfeng, because many of Nanfeng's questions involved the secrets of the Xuan clan.

Seeing that Nanfeng and Yuan Anning couldn't eat the food of the Xuan clan, Jiang Qi ordered someone to take the porridge and rice away, and left the clansmen outside the door to listen to the dispatch of the two, and left the house by himself and went elsewhere.

"They didn't seem to welcome us and tried to force us to go. Nanfeng laughed.

"If you force each other by force, which one will really welcome you?" Yuan Anning said, the Xuan clan didn't want to invite the two of them to come as guests, but they were invited against their will when Nanfeng showed its power.

"Did you hear what she said earlier, let us stay here for two days. Nanfeng laughed.

Yuan Anning glanced at him, signaled to someone outside the door, and then whispered, "When she left this time, she must have gathered her clan to discuss, and I am afraid that the result will not be as we wish." ”

"They don't want to do much, but they can't help it. Nanfeng said, and then said, "Don't worry, I have my own way." ”

Yuan Anning inquired with a look.

Nanfeng said, "You didn't tell her before that we still have to choose someone from the Celestial Clan, just make a fuss about it, if they don't agree to send someone to fight, we will go to the Celestial Clan, you said that if the Celestial Clan sends someone to fight and wins, what will happen to the Xuan Clan?"

"When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven, and how innocent are the two tribes. Yuan Anning smiled and glanced at Nanfeng, Nanfeng's move was still coercion.

"This is a bad statement, misfortune and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk, sending people to fight on my behalf is not necessarily a bad thing for the two clans. Nanfeng said.

Yuan Anning took the burden, unscrewed it and opened it, took the dry food and handed it to Nanfeng, "Why do you say this?"

Nanfeng waved his hand and didn't answer, "Back then, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You sent their clansmen over, it must have been to do a very important thing, judging from the current situation of the two clans, it seems that they have not completed their mission." ”

"What you mean by this is that they are in ...... with Jiankang's ghost monk."

Without waiting for Yuan Anning to finish speaking, Nanfeng waved his hand to interrupt her words, "No, they are not here to be influenced by the Sanqing Patriarch, the current situation is unknown, and they can't make a conclusion, but I feel that they should have been waiting for an opportunity, and we may be this opportunity." ”

Yuan Anning didn't ask, and slowly ate dry food.

Seeing that the dry food was frozen, Nanfeng wanted to go back and bring some delicious food back, and just sat up straight, Yuan Anning said, "Don't act rashly, if you want to go down to investigate the situation, you have to wait until the dead of night." ”

"I'd like to go back and bring you some food. Nanfeng said.

"Don't bother," Yuan Anning shook his head, "stay here and wait for her to come back." ”

Hearing Yuan Anning say this, Nanfeng also dispelled the idea of going back, and reclined on the bed again, closing his eyes to recuperate.

In fact, Nanfeng only seems to be closing his eyes and recuperating, and he doesn't need to go there in person to explore the situation, he can extend the aura perception and snooping.

Most of the people of the Xuan clan who have spiritual qi cultivation live above the ice surface, and the Xuan clan people with purple qi cultivation or above are not only those who rushed to the canyon before, Jiang Hong only brought half of them, and there are more than a dozen purple qi masters who are responsible for staying behind.

Ordinary people live in the city below the ice, the underground city is very huge, about the same size as Chang'an, it is not crowded to accommodate tens of thousands of people, and even seems very empty.

In the north of the city, there are two masters of Taixuan cultivation, and the breath of the two is very close, no more than two zhang. Between the two, there is a trace of ethereal aura, this aura is very empty, I don't know the grade, I don't know the species, and I don't even know whether I'm alive or dead.

With doubts in his heart, he urged the aura to probe again, but he was still not sure, but he could only know that this aura was located in a deep cave, and the two Taixuan masters were probably responsible for guarding the entrance of the cave.

The secret of the Xuan clan is hidden in that underground cave, and if you want to explore, you don't need to be quiet in the dead of night, you can go there incognito.

Thinking of this, he wanted to condense his fake body and go incognito, but suddenly heard the sound of a bell from the city wall, the bell was buzzing, thick and loud, and the bell came along with the shouts of the clansmen, "The enemy is coming......
