Chapter Seventy-Nine
After the people of the Pal family in Rongzi City and the masters and apprentices of the Immortal Sect left together, the inn that had been boiling for a long time finally returned to calm again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info shopkeeper looked at the corpses and blood stains of the city lord's servants who were left behind, and could only consider himself unlucky while directing the shopkeeper and his men to clean up the ground, while spending a lot of effort to appease the other panicked business travelers, so that the guests did not have to worry about continuing to stay in the hotel with peace of mind.
Because he was worried about what Narissa Parr said before leaving, Hoth City mainly organized people to investigate the Devil's City, Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi had a simple meal in the room, and left the inn after saying a word to Yan Yuan and the others, preparing to take the letter of recommendation from Yu Wen Hongcai and go to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about the news.
"I originally thought that you came to the Western Regions to eradicate the remnants of Fan Chengsheng's forces, but I didn't expect you to be interested in the legendary Devil City." Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi haven't walked out of the street where the inn is located, but they have already heard seven or eight different versions of the discussion about Devil City, and every rumor is also pretentious, which makes Shao Suyi very impressed. "Do you also believe that Ziyi also believes that there will be rare treasures or elixirs hidden in that unwarranted ancient city?"
Before coming to the Western Regions with Duan Ziyi, Shao Suyi had heard some rumors about the Devil's City from the mouth of Fan Li, the God of Wealth, who liked to pay attention to the spiritual world the most among the seven gods of wealth. Legend has it that the Devil's City was originally known as the ancient city of Xiuxun, originally located in the lower reaches of the Baimang River, although it is located in the desolate area in the northeast of Kurobna, but it is quite favored by the gods, the climate is pleasant, the precipitation is sufficient, the scenery is as beautiful as a fairyland, it is a very famous and desirable desert oasis in the sixteen cities of the Western Regions. However, one day just a thousand years ago, Xiu Xuncheng suddenly disappeared into the vast yellow sand overnight, as if evaporating out of thin air, and no trace could be found.
Until a hundred years ago, there was a rumor that the Devil's City was hiding a huge secret. Some people say that Xiu Xuncheng was favored by the demon world and was robbed to make the palace of the demon clan. Some people also say that there are countless treasures in the Devil's City, and as long as you get one at random, you can eat and wear for the rest of your life. What's more, it is even said that the Devil's City is a relic of the fairy world, which is open once every ten years......
Although the rumors of Devil's City are too confusing, they just right to satisfy the desires of people from all walks of life. Therefore, for a hundred years, many people have tried their best to explore the old ruins of Xiuxun City, trying to find out the ways and methods to enter the Devil's City. It's a pity that most of the explorers who went to Devil's Town in the early years ago have never returned, which makes people's enthusiasm for finding Devil's Town have subsided slightly, and they are not as fanatical as they were ten years ago.
But he didn't expect that the current city lord of Rongz, Hos Parr, would advertise with such fanfare that he had obtained a way to enter the Devil's City, and also posted a list in the city to recruit people and horses, and wanted to gather a team to go treasure hunting together.
Looking at the huge queue at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion to sign up, Duan Ziyi pressed the hat veil that was constantly lifted by the wind, and did not answer Shao Suyi's question, but turned to Shao Suyi and said, "If you were Hoth Parr, would you share the opportunity to obtain the treasure with others?" ”
"The devil's city is unpredictable, and if you want to go alone to swallow the treasure alone, it is estimated that there is only one way to die. But I'm afraid I'm not so selfless as Lord Hoth is like this, announcing the news to everyone and sharing it with everyone. Shao Suxuan shrugged his shoulders, he roughly calculated, there are at least one hundred and eighty people gathered in the City Lord's Mansion waiting to sign up, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, as long as they fill out a form casually, even young and strong women can also successfully receive the waist card of the Par family, which shows that the selection criteria are not strict. Hoth Parr gathered so many people, couldn't he have moved back a mountain from the Devil's Town? ”
Duan Ziyi shook his head, Hoss Parr spent countless material and financial resources to make such a big battle to find the Devil City, it must have some plan, but they couldn't guess it for a while. Although he had the map given by the mysterious man who guided him to find Devil's City, he didn't need Hoth Parr to lead the way, but if he could use Hoth Parr's limelight to cover up a thing or two, it would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. Duan Ziyi thought for a while, had a plan in his heart, and immediately walked towards the registration office set up in front of the City Lord's Mansion. "Let's go, let's go have a good time."
Hearing that someone came to sign up with a letter of recommendation from Yuwen Hongcai, the lord of Qiang City, the largest city in the Western Regions, Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi naturally didn't have to accompany others to line up under the big sun, but the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion personally came forward and invited the two of them into the mansion to wait, and they really envied the other applicants who were still waiting outside.
Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi entered the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion, only to find that they had come by coincidence, just in time for Hoss Parr to set up a banquet to entertain the masters and apprentices of the Immortal Sect and a few martial arts masters who had come to him. When they saw the two of them enter the door, the eyes of everyone at the banquet were immediately fixed on them, either explicitly or secretly.
"Come on, come on, the old man will introduce you to you." The rumored extremely cruel and unkind Hoss Parr looks like a very amiable fat old man. "These two Su family brothers are young talents recommended by Brother Yuwen of Weiqiang City, and they will participate in the grand event with us." As he spoke, Old Man Hoss beckoned Shao Suyi and Duan Ziyi to sit down in the banquet. "Don't be restrained, two little brothers, come on, sit down and talk."
"Hmph, where did this come from, a cat and a dog, and they dare to call us brothers." Shao Suxuan was just about to take a seat, and the middle-aged man sitting on the other side of him suddenly sneered, threw his sword on the table in front of Shao Suxuan, and glared at Shao Suxuan provocatively: "If you want to run to get a piece of the pie in the devil's city, you should weigh your own catties first." ”
Seeing that everyone present, including the city lord Huo Si, was silent and looked like he was watching a good show, Shao Suyi looked back at Duan Ziyi beside him, but couldn't help laughing. Although he is not Ah Ran, the well-read and well-informed Pavilion Master of the Sending Star Pavilion, he has also taken a cursory look at the portraits of the top twenty in the list of heroes in the Sending Star Pavilion. He didn't remember a man as impetuous as the middle-aged man with a goatee in front of him.
"This old man." Shao Suyi arched his hand with a smile, completely ignoring the ugly face of the middle-aged man, and sneered: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't see it, where are you sacred?" ”
Angered by the undisguised disdain on Shao Suyi's face, the middle-aged man who called Wan Dong Jia Huo Ran got up, thinking that he was one of the best masters in the sixteen cities of the Western Regions, but now he was so ridiculed in public by a junior of unknown origin, how could he swallow his breath? "What a sharp-toothed yellow-haired boy! I'm going to try your kung fu for the city lord today, so as not to let you, a nameless rat, fish in troubled waters and ruin the good things of the city lord. ”
Annoyed and angry, Wan Dongjia said, drew his sword and stabbed Shao Suxuan's chest. Shao Suyi had already taken precautions, how could he let that ten thousand Dong crops succeed? Seeing the sword attacking, Shao Suyi immediately pushed Duan Ziyi away, shook off the dragon whip tied around his waist and met Wan Dongjia's sword blade.
"I thought that the one who could get the city lord's blue eyes to sit here must be a first-class master. Who knew that there was such a common martial arts as Your Excellency, I am afraid that even those peddlers and pawns outside the courtyard could not compare. In an instant, the two had already exchanged dozens of moves. Shao Suyi, who has figured out the details of Wan Dong's crops, has also changed from resisting at the beginning to counterattacking, not only dealing with it easily, but also continuing to use words to stimulate the irritable Wan Dongjia.
"You!" As soon as he paired the silver whip of Shang Shao Suyi, Wan Dongjia knew that he had lost his eyes and underestimated the skill of this young man in Zhu Yi. However, in front of the City Lord of Hoth and other masters of the Western Regions, Wan Dongjia could not easily show his cowardice, so he could only grit his teeth and barely support the abandoned sword technique, wanting to compete with Shao Suyi for internal strength. Unexpectedly, he used ten percent of his strength to strike out with all his strength, but before he even touched the corner of Shao Suyi's clothes, he was broken by the momentum of the silver whip and fell out in embarrassment.
"Concession." Shao Suyi clapped his hands, returned to Duan Ziyi's side, and whispered and laughed with Duan Ziyi, completely ignoring everyone's attention. With such a high-spirited young man's appearance, Liu Jiajun, who was sitting among his brothers and sisters, somehow felt a little inexplicable envy in his heart
During the banquet, the other masters of the Western Regions couldn't help but change their faces when they saw that Shao Suhui had won Wan Dongjia so easily, and their eyes at Shao Suhui and the others became more and more unkind. Hoss Parr, who was sitting at the top, saw the looks of these people in his eyes, and before those people wanted to come forward to challenge Shao Suxuan, he ordered the soldiers to carry away the injured Wan Dongjia, turned his head and held his stomach and came out to play a round and said, "The little brother of the Su family is so handsome, he is really a hero and a young man." The old man can get your help, why worry about big things? He raised his glass, "Don't worry, if you can enter the Devil's City smoothly, the old man will definitely keep his promise and let you return with a full load!" ”
Since the city lord of Hoth had spoken, the people in the hall naturally did not save his face, and they also raised their glasses and reconciled, tacitly revealing the unpleasantness that had just happened.
