Chapter 176: Fragments
When the flight arrived at the city a few hundred meters away, Jun Qianluo's speed gradually slowed down, his body trembled slightly, and the purple feathers behind him emitted bursts of pale green light, slowly contracted, and finally turned into a tattoo and stuck it on Jun Qianluo's back.

His body flipped in mid-air, Jun Qianluo stood firmly on the ground with his feet, patted some dust on his clothes, and then looked up at the huge golden city that appeared at the end of his sight, and smiled slightly, but also breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps due to the proximity to the barren mountains, the weather here is quite cold and wet, and the cold sky is randomly falling with a drizzle, wetting the ground under your feet, and looking at it from a distance, it is a little blurry.
According to common sense, in this kind of environment that is definitely not good, there should be no one who will feel a pleasant feeling, but Jun Qianluo was a little stunned to find that since he stepped on this land, the purple ice flame vitality flowing in his body has actually become much more cheerful.
Slightly stunned, Jun Qianluo stretched out his hand and grabbed a few handfuls in the space in front of him, pursed his lips, and after a while, he suddenly said softly: "No wonder, almost eighty percent of the air here belongs to earth attribute and ice attribute energy..."
"Well, due to the terrain, Honghuangling is most suitable for people who cultivate ice attribute exercises and earth attribute exercises, and the purple ice flame in your body is a special cold flame that is closely related to cold ice, so it is naturally more sensitive than ordinary people." Among the quaint jade pendants, there was a faint laugh from Nan Yejia.
"And this, that's why I want you to come to the desert to practice, the conditions here are difficult, and it is really a natural occasion to hone people."
Nodding slightly, Jun Qianluo exhaled lightly, patted the exquisite array master robe on his body, bathed in the drizzle, and then walked slowly towards the golden city that was not far away.
Gradually approaching the city, there are more and more passers-by around, and these passers-by, most of the men are wearing hats, wrapped tightly in clothes, at a glance, it seems to be quite different, and occasionally passing by women, with an oil-paper umbrella, a plain clothes, set off a different rhyme from the barren mountains, as if born in the painting in general, it seems to be extremely bold, there is no classical mist to match it, although the temperature is cold, under the swing of the long skirt, those slender waists, but boldly exposed, walking, The waist of the water snake twists, which has a charming charm and style.
Along the way, Jun Qianluo was also a feast for his eyes, smacked his lips, and looked up at the golden city that could already see the specific scale, only to see that above the city gate, two huge golden fonts were carved on the city wall, and from a distance, there was a faint feeling of blood.
"Deserted city...", Jun Qianluo smiled and slowly walked towards the city gate.
At the gate of the city, more than a dozen soldiers in armor were holding spears and shouting at passers-by who entered the city to pay the entrance tax, looking at the appearance of these soldiers who were fully armed despite the damp and cold air, Jun Qianluo was slightly stunned in his heart, how could the defense here be stricter than that of a large city like Moyu City?
Perhaps because the weather was a little cold, these soldiers guarding here were also a little irritated by the weather, and they shouted unceremoniously and constantly urged passers-by at the city gate to wear umbrellas and hats.
Walking towards the city gate, listening to the scolding that came out of the mouths of those soldiers, Jun Qianluo, who was also wearing a hat, frowned slightly, shook his head, and then walked straight into the city, in the Longteng Empire, the formation master is almost a profession that enjoys the general treatment of the nobility, and the payment of the entrance fee at these city gates is also exempted by the empire, although a formation master will not care about this little bit of the soul, but this face is indeed very useful to all the formation masters.
"Hey, boy, I didn't see that it was written here..."Looking at Jun Qianluo, who walked into the city as if there was no one on the side, a soldier's eyes suddenly widened, but his scolding voice had not completely fallen, and his sight was to catch a glimpse of Jun Qianluo's extremely delicate array master robe, and immediately, the scolding in his mouth was swallowed raw, and his angry face changed into a flattering smile: "My lord, are you going to enter the city?" ”
"Hmm." The footsteps did not stop, Jun Qianluo slowly walked towards the soldier, glanced at him faintly, and then walked shoulders with the latter, who was trembling on his heels, and walked towards the city by himself.
Seeing that Jun Qianluo ignored his previous offense, a touch of happiness appeared on the soldier's face, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly turned around and shouted: "My lord, the people of the rice country in the Hongbarren Mountains have been a little restless recently, if you want to go out of the city, you have to be careful." ”
The footsteps were slow, and after getting this unexpected news, Jun Qianluo nodded slightly, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the darkness in the passage of the city wall.
"Damn, it's almost over, if the above knows that Lao Tzu has offended a second-grade array master, it would be strange if he didn't throw me out to feed the dogs." Looking at Jun Qianluo's disappearing back, the soldier exhaled completely, wiped a cold sweat, braved the drizzle, and returned to his post again, and perhaps because of the previous fright, now he has also restrained a lot of anger, and he no longer dares to shout and scold at passers-by who enter the city.
……
Slowly walking out of the somewhat dim city wall passage, the sight was slightly bright, and the city buildings with unique barren mountain characteristics appeared in the field of vision.
Standing on the street, Jun Qianluo's eyes swept over the crowded street, and after a while, he asked in his heart with some astonishment: "Master, where are you going now?" Do you just enter the Flood Barren Ridge? ”
"If you run headlong in the barren mountains like this, even if you don't get lost in the forest, sooner or later you will die in it because of the cold air." In the quaint jade pendant, there was a helpless rebuke from Nan Yejia.
Smiling awkwardly, Jun Qianluo smiled dryly: "It's also the first time I've come into contact with this kind of city... So what do we do next? ”
"First of all, go buy the most accurate map of Hongbaring Mountain, in this city, there should be a store specializing in maps, this is very important! In addition, prepare enough fire source crystals, your fire attribute spirit root can come in the greatest use, and, run around the array material shop here again, buy some poison-repellent array materials, the actress in the Hongbarren Ridge, although it seems to be beautiful and leisurely, in fact, the best at driving the poison monster beast to attack, it's always right to be careful. Nanyega groaned.
"Prepare these things, there shouldn't be time to enter the Hongbarren Mountains immediately today, so when the time comes, let's rest in the city for the night, oh, by the way, the Huiyuan Array in your hands has also been used up, this thing is a must-have for cultivation, but fortunately, I collected enough array materials in the small valley of the Demon Beast Mountain Range last time, I will take the time to arrange a batch for you tonight, and when these are finished, tomorrow morning, we will start to enter the Hongbarren Mountains."
Listening to the explanation coming from Nan Yejia's mouth, Jun Qianluo nodded helplessly, sighed, and pulled a passerby wearing a hat by his hand, asking about the shop that sold desert maps.
The passer-by who was pulled by Jun Qianluo was a little impatient at first, but when he saw the Yuan Shi badge on Jun Qianluo's chest, he was impatient and hurriedly reined in, and pointed out the location of the store to Jun Qianluo very politely.
Thanking the passer-by, Jun Qianluo touched the Array Master badge on his chest with his palm, sighed slightly and shook his head, I have to say that this identity is really easy to use.
With a sigh in his heart, Jun Qianluo quickly turned the corner, and then walked towards the best map shop in the deserted city that the passer-by said.
……
After walking unhurriedly for a long time, the map shop called "Ancient Map of Honghuang City" appeared in Jun Qianluo's sight, his eyes swept outside the store, Jun Qianluo was slightly surprised, this shop is not as luxurious and flamboyant as others, it seems, it still faintly reveals a little quaint atmosphere.
With a little surprise in his heart, Jun Qianluo slowly walked into the store, the interior of the store was not too spacious, the faint light of the two moonstones illuminated the store quite brightly, his eyes swept over the inside of the store, there were not many people who came to buy the map inside, and the cold and deserted appearance made Jun Qianluo a little puzzled if he had gone to the wrong place.
Slowly walking into the store, Jun Qianluo glanced at it, and finally stopped at an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down, this old man was obviously quite old, but although he was full of gray hair, the dry palm holding the drawing black pen was still strong and powerful.
Without making a sound to disturb the old man, Jun Qianluo's eyes swept over the large number of maps on the counter, and he took it in his hand and looked at it again and again, and the clear route on the map made him nod with satisfaction.
After looking at the map for a while, Jun Qianluo saw that the old man had not finished yet, pursed his lips, and slowly paced again to a quaint wooden frame in the corner of the store.
This wooden frame, obviously old, is covered with holes in rotten wood, and on top of it, some yellowed maps are randomly stacked, and some traces of damage on the surface of these maps seem to be failures in the production of maps.
The palm of his hand flipped through these yellowed maps at will, a faint musty smell came to his face, and he frowned slightly, Jun Qianluo picked up a stack of failed works, his palm trembled slightly, and a broken picture that was only the size of a palm suddenly fell from this stack of failed works.
Didn't care too much about the broken picture that fell, Jun Qianluo looked at the failed work in his hand, and then put it back boredly, when he put it back, his eyes glanced lazily at the small broken picture, and his eyes blinked slightly... Then, the palm of the hand moved, and suddenly froze.
Jun Qianluo suddenly felt the violent beating of his heart at this time, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, put the broken and quaint picture in his hand, and carefully scanned the slightly familiar mysterious route on the picture with a few touches of ecstasy.
After a while, Jun Qianluo slowly narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, and muttered tremblingly: "Sure enough, it..."
