Volume 2 Chapter 82 The Deserted City
Bordering Su Ying City, it is Lincheng, and after passing through Lincheng, you can go directly to Jiufang City.
There was no hurry to go back, Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong Yujian arrived in Lincheng, and they saw a different scene, Lincheng compared to Su Yingcheng, not to mention the economic backwardness, the buildings in the city were also like ruins, as for the streets, there were not many people at all.
Lincheng also has a title, that is, the ghost city, although the area is amazingly large, but almost no one lives, as for the reason, it is because it is close to the Qingwu Mountains, in recent years, phantom beasts have often haunted, so the people here have been forced to move out.
It was only recently that Xiaozhou had the previous move to appoint the giant python as its guardian, firstly, to prevent outsiders from entering the Qingwu Mountain Range at will, and secondly, because the giant python was the strongest creature in the Qingwu Mountain Range and could suppress a large part of the phantom beasts.
"Let's go back. Jiufang Ming glanced at the endless desolation, and only sighed, even if this place is rebuilt, no one will want to come back to live.
It's a pity that in such a good place, Jiufang Ming drove the flying sword and flew to the sky above the city, without exception, all of them were ruin-like buildings, and I couldn't help but feel sorry in my heart.
"Isn't it possible to be a phantom array?" Yan Qitong asked, looking at the ruins below.
Jiufang Ming shook his head, although his memories of the Phantom Array had not yet fused, he could detect that this city did not have the aura of the Phantom Yuan Force just by his perception.
If there is a phantom array to hide people's eyes and ears and hide from the sky and the sea, it will inevitably exude some yuan force fluctuations, but here, there is obviously none.
The phantom array is to arrange the yuan stones, connect them with the magic element force, and then form the formation, the difficulty of the formation is extremely high, and the consumption of the yuan stones should not be underestimated, so the number of phantom array masters is much less than that of alchemists.
As for whether the phantom array will be arranged in the previous life, Jiufang Ming still has full confidence, how can a Phantom Saint powerhouse not know the phantom array, but now the cultivation is not enough, and he can't fuse more memories, according to Jiufang Ming's own inference, it is estimated that he will have to cultivate to the Phantom King cultivation before he can fuse some memories again.
Considering that the pill would damage Yuan Chen, Jiufang Ming did not choose to take the pill used to advance to the rank, thinking of this, Jiufang Ming couldn't help but regret the pill given to Min Jiuge and Jiufang Hong at the beginning, at that time, he did not awaken the memory of his previous life, nor did he realize that taking too much pill would cause harm to outweigh the good.
In less than a day, the two flew back to Jiufang City, and when they arrived outside the city, they were greeted by soldiers stationed there.
"Greetings to the Southern Underworld. The soldiers stationed there inserted their long swords into their scabbards and saluted respectfully, no matter which identity of the Nine Directions of the Underworld, the Holy Envoy of the Nine Directions, the Southern Immortal Gong, or the Nine Rank Alchemist was enough to be respected by them.
"No need to be polite. Jiufang Ming symbolically bowed his head, and then led Yan Qitong into the city.
"Is this Jiufang City?" Yan Qitong exclaimed as he looked at the endless Jiufang City.
Without the flying sword, the two of them turned around for a long time before they could barely see the iconic building of Jiufang City, the Jiufang Tower.
The height of the Nine Directions is not the highest among buildings, so it may not be long before you get to see the iconic spire.
The huge Jiufang City has countless buildings and high platforms, and as for the pavilions of some families, they are even more innumerable.
Jiufang Mansion, Jiufang Wu heard that Jiufang Ming had returned, and he was already waiting in front of the mansion.
Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong held hands and slowly walked towards the mansion.
"Father!" Jiufang Ming saw Jiufang Wu and saluted, although he was the evil emperor Fang Yin in his previous life, but in this life, he is still Jiufang Ming after all.
As a son of man, there are some things that we have to obey.
"Are you back?" Jiufang Wu glanced at Yan Qitong up and down, and then said with some displeasure.
Yan Qitong didn't know what to say, and looked at Jiufang Ming.
Jiufang Ming smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I haven't come back yet." ”
Then he pulled Yan Qitong and turned around to leave, Jiufang Ming understood his father's temper, and if he didn't avoid the limelight at this time, he was afraid that he would be scolded again.
"Hey. Jiufang Wugang wanted to speak, but found that Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong had long since disappeared.
"This stinky boy ......" Jiufang Wu shook his head and scolded with a smile, now that he has a chance, he doesn't even want his father.
Jiufang Wu turned around with satisfaction, his second son not only did not die in the past five years, but also had such a cultivation, not only gave up his eyes to save his father, but also obtained four feudal marquis for the Jiufang family, and his status as the king of Xiaozhou, in Jiufang Wu's opinion, was also obtained by Jiufang Ming for himself.
"It's a pity that it's ......" Jiufang Wu paused, muttered to himself, thoughtful, and then walked into the mansion.
"So where are we going now?" Yan Qitong asked, looking at the blurred scene around her.
Jiufang Ming yawned, "I don't know, I'll go wherever you want?"
I don't know if Yan Qitong will take it seriously, Jiufang Ming then looked at Yan Qitong seriously.
"Then go back to the Boundless Sect, how about it?" Yan Qitong said with a smile, Jiufang Ming has left the sect for more than a year, and if he doesn't return to the sect, he will probably be removed.
Thinking of Ming Feizhou, who had not been able to eat roasted game for more than a year, Jiufang couldn't help but smile.
"How did you come to the Min Dynasty, I see that you were alone when you came?" Jiufang Ming asked, and when Yan Qitong arrived, she was the only one.
"What brought me here is a flying phantom beast, huge in size, what is it called Seven, and after arriving in Dream City, it is all my sword flying. Yan Qitong recalled that the flying phantom beast brought her a particularly profound shock, but she really couldn't remember the name for a while.
Jiufang Ming's face was gloomy, it is estimated that it is undoubtedly seven zhang, and there is no doubt that there are only seven zhang who can do this kind of damage.
"Is it called Qizhang ......" Jiufang Ming confirmed, before awakening the memory of his previous life, this monster with the strength of the Phantom King level was extremely powerful for him, but now in the eyes of Jiufang Ming, he is just a small miscellaneous bird, and the mount in his previous life is much stronger than Qizhang when he is weakest.
"It seems to be called Qizhang. Yan Qitong recalled, still having some impressions of the name.
"Damn, this birdman, if you catch him, you have to pluck out the hair!" Jiufang said secretly in his heart, angry, but after thinking about it, if Qizhang was not delivered in time, I am afraid that the current Yan Qitong would have already abandoned his previous memories because of the Forgetfulness Pill and became a stranger.
"Looks like I have to thank him. Although Jiufang Ming said it, there was still anger in his heart.
"The Forgetfulness Pill you took, did you do it voluntarily?" Jiufang frowned, the tiger poison does not eat children, Yan Ce is not too likely to make such a move.
Yan Qitong shook her head, the effect of the Forgetfulness Pill, she naturally knew that it was the cheapest and most toxic type of pill.
Before he was sure that it was Yan Ce, Jiufang Ming was not easy to judge, and what puzzled him the most was that Yan Ce, as the Phantom King, had a strength close to the Phantom Emperor, why would he give in because of an army of the Min Dynasty, and even send his daughter out to make peace.
"My father was in a hurry to expand his territory, but he neglected the people's will. ”
"And if I don't come to make peace, I'm afraid more innocent people will be implicated. Yan Qitong said.
Jiufang Ming immediately understood that Yan Ce was to blame, Yan Qitong had pity in his heart, and he was forced to come to make peace, everything was against Yan Qitong's wishes.
As for the Forgetfulness Pill, perhaps it was Yan Ce's last love for his daughter, and in order to avoid her being trapped by love, he chose this method.
It seems that Yan Ce is not as ruthless as he thinks, tiger poison does not eat children, after all, Yan Ce is the master of a country, and he always has to look forward and backward when acting.
Jiufang Ming hugged Yan Qitong, and the two then hugged each other tightly, completely ignoring the hustle and bustle of the world.
............
The Xuanming Chamber of Commerce, the auctions that are carried out as usual are still overcrowded.
"Uncle Ye. When Jiufang Ming saw Ye Chang, he saluted, and Yan Qitong also saluted.
When Ye Chang saw Yan Qitong, he was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.
"Next time you come to me, tell me in advance, and I'll get people ready. Ye Chang smiled.
"This is mine...... wife, Yan Qitong. Jiufang Ming gritted his teeth, this title seemed a little embarrassing.
Yan Qitong accepted this title calmly.
"Young people are just good. Ye Chang looked Jiufang Ming up and down, revealing an expression that all men understand.
"How many times has Ye Yun said about him, but he still refuses to get married, and he is an idler who neither cultivates nor alchemy, and he still soaks in Flower Street Willow Lane all day long. Ye Chang then sighed and said, people are more popular than people, it is estimated that Jiufang Ming will have children by then, and Ye Yun will not even have any movement to start a family.
"Brother Ye is free-spirited, and he hasn't met anyone he really likes, so let him go. Jiufang Ming said, the feeling that Ye Yun gave him was not just the son of a rich businessman.
"Let them young people go......" Ye Chang said with a wry smile, the young man's affairs really seemed to be out of his own hands, and then brought Jiufang Ming and Yan Qitong into the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce.
Jiufang Ming came this time to purchase some alchemy medicinal materials, as well as the materials of the refining weapon, the materials in the ring are all hundred or even thousands of years, but it is a pity to use it for alchemy, as for the refining weapon, Jiufang Ming wants to give it a try.
With the memory of the previous life, refining some weapons should be a breeze, the grade of the alchemist in the previous life is far above the ninth grade, and the refining achievement is not as high as the alchemy achievement, but refining the heavenly level divine weapon, it is not impossible, as long as there are enough materials, the nine directions will have a certain degree of certainty, and refine it.
The auction was still going on, but it was suddenly announced that it would be suspended, for no other reason, all the auction items were bought by Jiufang Ming, so it had to be suspended.
"It's Nan Minggong!" a young girl recognized Jiufang Ming and exclaimed in surprise, and then everyone also looked in the direction.
It was really the Duke of Nanming, and he was followed by a girl with a charming appearance, as the rumors said, he angrily beheaded the king of Mengzhou, not only robbed the marriage, but also forced the high-ranking officials of the Min Dynasty into speechlessness.
Jiufang Ming casually entered the table and quietly stuffed Ye Chang with a storage ring containing 20 million yuan stones, which was the Yuan Stone that Qin Xingke had previously bought from his Nine Pins Pill.
The medicinal materials are very cheap, so the purchase of Jiufang Ming is to buy one by one, and the meaning of one is that each medicinal material is come again, and the inventory of the Xuan Ming Chamber of Commerce is also amazingly large, and thousands of medicinal materials have been prepared for Jiufang Ming.
And the inventory is probably less than one ten-thousandth, although the medicinal materials will also have the possibility of deterioration, the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce has done a very good job in the storage of medicinal materials, so that it can become the largest chamber of commerce in Jiufang City and even Xiaozhou.
There are also many alchemists who take the initiative to store the pills or medicinal materials here for safekeeping, and the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce does not charge any fees for these trivial matters, and over time they are also sought after by phantom monks.
