Chapter 100: Ghost Town
Halfway up the mountain, the field of vision gradually widens, and in the distance, there is a dense forest and green trees at the bottom of the mountain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But it can be vaguely seen that in the depths of the dense forest, there seems to be a man-made clearing, and the hundred zhang trees have been cut down, which seems a little abrupt.
With his eyes fixed, Chen Ting took the lead in moving, taking a leap, but he performed a light body technique, like a dragonfly dotting water, jumping dozens of zhang, and quickly descending from the mountainside.
And Zhu Di also used similar means, and his body was not much slower than Chen Ting, obviously this is not something that an ordinary half-step life palace can do.
Nothing to say all the way.
It didn't take long for the two of them to quickly descend the mountain, and then ran for dozens of miles, and finally reached an open area surrounded by giant trees.
It can't be said to be empty, because this place is only two or three miles away, there are many houses of different shapes, and even high-rise buildings, like a paradise town.
Without the slightest hindrance, Chen Ting and the others entered the town directly.
Walking on the fairly flat stone floor, Chen Ting was a little puzzled, because although he noticed that there were a lot of spiritual power fluctuations here, there were very few monks on the streets that extended in all directions, and it seemed that the vast majority of people were cultivating behind closed doors and did not care about the world.
"Eh, newcomer, don't be foolish, come and talk." At this moment, a thin monk like a bamboo pole shouted towards Chen Ting and the others.
This monk was dressed in an orange robe, his face was extremely mediocre, he was only in his early thirties, but his cultivation was not bad, and he had reached the state of spiritual spring perfection, which was quite rare.
When he first arrived, Chen Ting also happened to want to ask someone, so he didn't hesitate and walked over with Zhu Di.
Seeing that there were only two people, the thin bamboo pole-like monk said directly with a relaxed face: "You just arrived in the Ghost Valley?" How come there are only two people? ”
"They're all dead." Chen Ting just replied lightly, obviously not wanting to say more.
Raising his eyebrows, the thin bamboo pole monk continued: "Then I'll talk about the rules first, there are many monks living here, but many of them are recuperating from injuries, and their tempers are not very good, I hope you two don't trespass, and there are some degenerates in the Ghost Valley, you'd better not have any contact with them, otherwise the law enforcement team is not easy to talk to."
Of course, there are some necessary rules, in addition, you can do whatever you want, practice, exchange and fight methods, go out, everything is up to you, and finally remind me that when you come here, you must abide by the rules, you must also know that here is a gathering of high-level monks from many large states in the Dongsheng cultivation world, the six major sects, the Dongsheng Imperial Court, and the masters of many major forces, and the rules of this place can be said to be jointly formulated by the Dongsheng cultivation community, and no one is allowed to mess around! ”
As he spoke, the thin bamboo pole monk's tone gradually became high, and a sense of pride spontaneously arose.
However, such a big remark, Chen Ting and Zhu Di both took it as a deaf ear, just listen to it, for the two of them, any artificial rules here are meaningless, only existence is worth breaking or not.
Therefore, the two just nodded and did not say much.
Perhaps feeling that the two people in front of him were intimidated by his admonition and couldn't speak, the thin bamboo pole monk smiled kindly and said, "Since that's the case, then register some necessary information first and follow me." ”
Still nodding in response, Chen Ting and the two followed the thin bamboo pole monk towards a five-story building in the center of the town.
Along the way, Chen Ting suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist, may I ask if anyone from the Drifting Sword Sect has ever been here?" ”
Turning his head and glancing at Chen Ting in surprise, the thin bamboo pole monk said: "A few days ago, the Drifting Sword Sect did come, there were hundreds of people, I heard that there is an elder among them, it is worthy of being one of the six major sects, and the compelling momentum can be felt from afar, but it is also fast to come." ”
After hearing this, Chen Ting nodded slightly, and continued to ask, "I don't know how to go to the ghost town?" ”
The thin bamboo pole monk laughed suspiciously: "After registering the information, I will naturally tell you how to go, but don't blame me for not reminding you, the reason why the ghost town is called a ghost town is that people will disappear or even fall every day, you see so many seriously injured monks here, all of them have come back from the ghost town, and it has been a few months, and there are many masters of the fallen life palace, not to mention Lingquan monks like us!" ”
"Thanks for the reminder." After a polite sentence, Chen Ting said no more.
The registration information is indeed very simple, name, origin, cultivation realm, and nothing else.
Cultivating to the realm, Chen Ting naturally would not be stunned to fill in the four characters of the early stage of the Life Palace, just reported a half-step Life Palace, and it was a good thing to know how to hide clumsiness, especially for a lone wanderer like him.
Inside a five-storey building.
Simple, elegant, without the slightest sense of luxury, and there were very few monks among them, and there was only one person who received them and registered their information, so after a short and dull question, Chen Ting and the two prepared to leave.
Bland, peaceful, it's hard to imagine that this town could be inhabited by so many monks at the same time.
But this also means monotonous and boring, in the huge town, there are hundreds of houses, but there is no place for fun, not even shops, it is completely a place of cultivation.
Without the slightest intention of stopping, after simply asking for some information and routes about the ghost town, the two went straight on the road.
A stone road leads straight to the depths of the dense forest outside the town, and a monk looks at Chen Ting and the two who are gradually moving away, which is the thin bamboo pole-like man before: "I really don't know the height of the sky, it seems to be the same as those pretentious monks, wait a few days, you will know what the suffering is!" ”
As he spoke, he looked sneering, obviously not optimistic about the results of Chen Ting and the others, the two half-step life palace monks were nothing in the ghost city.
……
In the depths of the sea of clouds, a heavy mountain river does not know how far away it is, and the mountains and mountains are stacked, and the strange peaks that are thousands of zhang high do not know how many, and a mountain is even higher.
And between the two giant peaks, there are thousands of walls, and it seems that there is nothing peculiar in the Endless Mountain Range, but here, it is the largest monk camp in the entire Ghost Valley Mountain Range: Ghost Town.
The so-called ghost town cannot be completely called a city, because only in the valley between the two giant peaks, can you see the structure of some towns, houses and buildings of different forms, all kinds of shops and restaurants, stretching for more than ten miles, but only one mile wide, saying that it is a city, but it is better to say that it is an extremely prosperous commercial street, which runs through the north and south, all day long.
Different from the bustling downtown in the valley, the huge peaks on both sides are the real resting and retreating places for the monks, and one by one the secluded caves have been opened up.
Stepping into the ghost town, there was still no obstacle, Chen Ting and Zhu Di walked briskly on the flat and clean streets.
The monks came and went, and the voices of conversation and discussion were endless, and it was much more lively than the previous town, which made the two of them feel like they were back in a secular town.
However, before the two of them could take a look at the ghost town, two monks in Tsing Yi walked over quickly and stopped Chen Ting and the others straightforwardly: "Are the two of them Chen Ting and Zhu Di?" ”
"Who are you?" Zhu Di said with a puzzled face.
"In Xia Hanfu, this is Li Minggong, we are monks under the law enforcement team of the ghost city, if the two of you are fine, please come with us." There was no change in their faces, and the two monks in Tsing Yi seemed to be doing their business routinely, looking decent.
After hearing this, Chen Ting just smiled slightly: "Then please ask Han Daoyou and Li Daoyou to lead the way." ”
Earlier, when they were cultivating in the town, the thin bamboo pole monk told the two of them about the rules of the ghost town when they first came to the ghost town, so Chen Ting and Zhu Di were not surprised and went happily.
It is similar to the process in the cultivation town, but it is just a little more cumbersome, and there are also more rules here, after all, there are thousands of Lingquan monks and many life palace monks here, and the dragons and snakes are mixed, so it is naturally much stricter.
After registering, the reason for the establishment of the ghost town was briefly explained.
In the depths of the endless Guigu Mountain Range, there are many dangers, but it may also be the only way out, and countless manpower and material resources need to be invested to find clues, and the ghost city is such an outpost camp-like existence.
Although Chen Ting had some understanding of this, he was far less detailed than these monks who had personally experienced it, so he listened humbly and collected a lot of useful information.
Then, the chores were dealt with, and as a benefit for entering the ghost town for the first time, Chen Ting and Zhu Di could choose a cave between the two giant peaks, which saved them some trouble.
After a brief settlement, the two of them returned to the ghost town of the valley, ready to find out some news, at least gather any useful information before setting off on the adventure.
"You said that the Venerable Jin Guang got a second forbidden spirit weapon, is that true?"
"What Xu saw with his own eyes can still be fake, but after all, the Venerable Jin Guang is a master of the Destiny Palace, even if he is here, he is a famous and surnamed person, and you and I can only envy it."
"What is the second forbidden spirit weapon, just the day before yesterday, a half-step boy from the Bai family found an ancient medicine garden, it is said that there are pieces of life palace-level elixir in it, and even some supernatural treasure medicines, even the six major sects were alarmed, and they blocked that place, and I don't know what the result was."
In a wine shop, many monks mingle and talk about the strange things of the past few days, which can be described as colorful and fascinating.
And Chen Ting and Zhu Di each ordered a pot of spiritual wine, listened with their ears up, and poured themselves a drink.
