Shahai City.

As its name suggests, it's a city-state.

The quaint stone city wall shows traces of time precipitation, but there are few cracks and breaks, and it is still very strong.

Unlike many castles on the Kyushu mainland, Shahai Castle is not very neatly built, and it can almost be regarded as a mountain along the pattern of the nearby mountains, and the walls on this side of the city near the inhabited towns and villages are slightly lower, and the height of the other three walls is not very consistent.

At first glance, it was built a little casually.

Although Shahai City is located in the middle of nowhere, it has a large range, with mountains and cliffs on both sides, and two gates have been opened on the city walls on the other side, and a few monks can be seen on the city walls, but there is no appearance of patrolling.

Before entering the city, Xiao Luo told Xue Yuan that Shahai City was shrouded in a large array, but the layout method of this large array was very different, he had not seen it before, and he couldn't estimate the effect of the formation for a while, so he could only be sure that although this formation was invisible to the naked eye, it was not in an unexcited state, but was running all the time.

It's just possible, not a fully excited state.

When Xue Yun heard this, a little vigilance rose in his heart.

Xue Yun and Xiao Luo came to the south gate of Shahai City.

There are only two gates open in the huge city of Shahai City, the West City Gate and the South City Gate, and the South City Gate is more lively here, and it seems to be the main gate of Shahai City.

Coming to the city gate, the two looked up and looked at the castle tower above the inscription "Shahai City" engraved on the seal.

There were no monks walking around there, and there were some rough stone pillars under the cornices, which was very unexpected...... There was a stone table, and the wall in front of the table was much lower, so that the two of them could see the existence of the table when they stood near the gate, no more than Edgeworth. The stone table is actually integrated with the stone city wall, and it seems that this stone table was intentionally carved out of the same stone when the city wall of Shahai City was built.

I don't know if it's been eroded for a long time, or if the stone table didn't do the details when it was originally built, but at this moment it seems that there is no pattern on the stone table that suddenly appears, and a simple long table stands directly above the gate of Shahai City.

Xue Yuan looked at it for a while, then turned around and looked back in the direction he came, and couldn't help but sigh: "Facing this side in front of the stone table on the city gate...... You can see these lively and lively street scene pedestrians sheltered near Shahai City...... It's really good. ”

Xiao Luo looked up at the stone table above the city gate in a bit of a daze, feeling that his chest seemed to be slightly hot, and there was some hazy chaos in his mind.

"Xiao Luo?"

Seeing that Xiao Luo didn't react, Xue Yun reached out and pulled his sleeve.

Xiao Luo came back to his senses and smiled at Xue Yun beside him: "Well, what is wrong with Xuan'er, is on it...... The view must be superb. ”

Xue Yun felt a little strange, but he really didn't know what he wanted.

At this time, since they had come to the gate of Shahai City, there was no reason to delay any longer, only sighed a few words, and the two entered the city gate together.

The moment he stepped into the gate of Shahai City, Xue Yun really ...... The existence of the operating formation was clearly felt.

Of course, instead of Xue Yun being aware of the formation, it was better that she keenly sensed the unusual operation of spiritual power.

It feels ......

Xue Yuan stopped a few steps into the city, frowned slightly, and turned to look at the position he had just passed.

"How?"

At this time, the two of them had already entered the city, and there were pedestrians all around, most of them were local residents and monks in Shahai City, who knew each other well, and they were somewhat curious about the two faces of Xue Yun and Xiao Luo, so they took a few more looks.

Xue Yun naturally felt these gazes, she turned her head and smiled at Xiao Luo: "It's okay, let's find a place to stay." ”

With that, she reached out and grabbed Xiao Luo's arm.

Then, Xiao Luo's mind seemed to sound Xue Yuan's slightly deeper voice:

'When I first entered the city gate, I felt the traces of your formation. ’

Get up, this is silent, and because of the physical contact, the spiritual power fluctuations are minimized, and the sound transmission method will not be noticed, the two of them have used it once before. At that time, it was a teahouse in Dingyuan City, Wonju, and when he noticed that there were obvious other monks paying attention to the two of them, he used it to communicate secretly.

At that time, Xue Yun and Xiao Luo were still in the Jindan period, and even if they transmitted sound through physical contact, the two still needed to be cautious. But at this time, after all, they are all true monarchs in the Yuan Infant Stage, and when they use this method again, it is much smoother and more casual.

The two of them could even talk to each other occasionally, looking at the novelties on the street vendors, and exchanging other things in their minds.

After hearing Xue Yuan's words in her mind, Xiao Luo's face showed no discoloration, and while pulling her to wander around the city to find a courtyard to rent, she responded and asked in the sea of knowledge: "What's so special?"

'I don't know the formation, and if I only rely on the induction of spiritual power, I can only feel it when I get close to the city gate and pass through the formation. As you said, this unknown formation is indeed running silently, it is alive, and the most important thing is ...... If you feel it, it's working...... Slowly seconded the surrounding earth aura. ’

Xiao Luo was slightly stunned in his heart, but his face did not show any abnormality:

'Are you ......'

‘...... Knowing the Mind. ’

The essence of the Ming Province Valley's Ming Mind Formula, Xue Yuan, referring to the method of secondment and control of the ordinary spiritual power and aura by the power of the source, summarized the mental method compiled for the cultivation of the people in the Ming Province Valley, and its essence is to communicate with the surrounding earth aura that has not been incorporated into the body through cultivation through the monk's own spiritual power, and combine his own spiritual power to cast spells, improve the power of the spell, and make up for the lack of his own cultivation or spiritual power.

In this way, at first glance, the large array of this Sand Sea City actually has some similarities with Ming Xinjue.

Naturally, if you look at it from the order of first come, first served, it is actually the effect of the Ming Heart Recipe and the Shahai City Great Array that are somewhat similar.

It's just that Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo both know very well that this is the first time Xue Yuan has set foot in Shahai City, and it is also the first time to come into contact with such a formation.

Or, rather than that this ordinary person and ordinary monk in Shahai City didn't notice that the formation in operation was similar to the Ming Heart Technique, it would be better to ...... It is similar to the principle of the original power that originated from Kujing.

'The demon clan's wind didn't lie to us. Xue Yuan's voice continued to sound in Xiao Luo's mind, with a little emotion and a little expectation: "This Sand Sea City...... Sure enough, it should be related to Kyushu Jiujing. ’

If it was before getting Su Run's previous summons from the Spirit Bird, maybe Xue Yun would have guessed whether there might be a secret place of Jiujing in Qiaozhou Jiujing in Shahai City, but now, ......

After confirming that the Zhou family is the guardian family of Qiaozhou Jiujing, Zhou Yan, after opening the bracelet with his heart, he got not only the method of entering Qiaozhou Jiujing that can only be used by the Zhou family's bloodline, but also welcome... The location of the secret place of Jiujing in Qiaozhou.

Although through Su Run's soul bird, Zhou Yan did not point out the specific location of Qiaozhou Jiujing out of caution, but he also clearly told Xue Yun and Xiao Luo of Zhengshahai City that Qiaozhou Jiujing was not in the northeast corner of Qiaozhou and had nothing to do with Shahai City there.

As for Qiaozhou Jiujing......

Although Fang Ye had told Xue Yun that in order to prevent the leakage of the location of the Nine Wells Guardian Place, and also to hide the identity of the Nine Wells Guardian Family and protect their safety from those who may have ulterior motives, many of the Nine Wells Guardian Families would choose to settle away from the place where the Nine Wells Secret Land was located, but they would basically never leave the state capital where the Nine Wells were guarded by their families unless there were special circumstances. So the former Zhou family is located in the central part of Qiaozhou...... The likelihood has decreased a lot.

Where is this kind of thing, in fact, even if Zhou Yan tells them now, it may not be useful. There are protective and psychedelic barriers on the periphery of the Nine Wells Secret Land all over Kyushu, and even a talent like Xiao Luo, or a high-level cultivator with the power of the Origin like Xue Yuan, can't recognize it when facing the camouflaged range of the Nine Wells Secret Land.

The only ones who can be recognized are the descendants of the Kujing Guardian family.

Therefore, even if the Kunwu knife in Xiao Luo's hand can skip the special method of the Jiujing Guardian Family, and can enter and exit the Jiujing Secret Land, it is useless for them who can't even find the specific location now.

So Zhou Yan didn't mention it, and Xue Yan didn't ask either.

Moreover, from Tang Ling, it was likely that the purpose of the Feng family was Jiujing, and the Zhou family's Jiujing secret land in Qiaozhou was obviously targeted by the Feng family, even if they knew the location, it was not easy to pass, in case they didn't want to expose the secret place of Jiujing, and even Zhou Yan had obtained the method of entering Jiujing in Qiaozhou, it would be bad.

After confirming that Shahai City had nothing to do with the secret land of Jiujing in Qiaozhou, which was guarded by the Zhou family, but it was obvious that it had something to do with the power of Jiujing's origin, Xue Yuan and Xiao Luo, who had planned to investigate here, were determined to concentrate on finding a temporary courtyard to rent and settle down.

Unexpectedly and reasonably, the two of them saw the shop of the Treasure Pavilion in Shahai City, and the courtyard they rented was also rented through the shop of the Treasure Pavilion.

With a place to stay, Xiao Luo arranged it by himself after opening the formation that came with the courtyard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in this unfamiliar place.

It's not easy to get a low-key message in Shahai City.

The situation in Shahai City was very different from the Chenzhou Loucheng Xiangcheng, Cangzhou Lingling City, and even Yuanzhou Dingyuan City that they had been to. The vast majority of people here were born here, and there are few outsiders who are cultivating. After all, it is located on the edge of Qiaozhou, the northernmost part of the Kyushu continent, and there is no possibility of passing through the cluster and going elsewhere. Even if they are in business, they have been familiar faces who have come and gone for many years, so they have become more and more special as Xue Yun and Xiao Luo, two strange foreign monks.

It's like the many curious eyes I encountered when I first entered Shahai City today.

Xue Yun had never met him anywhere else before.

In this way, whatever they do, they will be conspicuous.

What's more, they don't have that much time to spend in Shahai City and get acquainted with the city's residents before finding out the news. The wind is surging above Kyushu, the Feng family of Xuanqingmen, the confrontation with the Xue family, the Li family and the Tang family, who are temporarily hiding and not showing their heads, the situation may be changing rapidly, Miaozhou Ming Province Valley is on the cusp, and a moment of calm does not mean real safety.

If the Xuanqing Gate and the Feng family are not completely overthrown, there will be no real security in the Ming Province Valley of Miaozhou.

What's more, the Feng family is obviously related to many Jiujing, and it is very likely that they will ...... Threatens the safety of the entire Kyushu continent.

Can't leave it alone.

The Feng family is arrogant and powerful, relying on the Ming Province Valley, which has just been established and has not yet had time to brew and develop, they can't bring down the Feng family, they need more reasons, more evidence, only when the Feng family and the vast majority, or even the entire Kyushu, are on the opposite side, and may damage the interests and even lives of many people in Kyushu, they can be sure enough to unite more forces, attack it in groups, and break the top family on the Kyushu continent in one fell swoop.

And come to think of it......

Xue Yu remembered the other two people.

Rong Jin, Gu Xi.

In her little understanding, these two people had also struggled to be enemies of the Yun Sect, the largest force in the Kyushu Continent at that time, and they relied on this method of uniting all the forces that could be united, with the help of the behemoth that made everyone fear and jealous when the curtain was destroyed by other forces in one fell swoop.

Compared to these two......

Xue Yuan thought that their current situation was many times better.

While Xue Yuan was thinking about these things a little dazedly, Xiao Luo, who had carefully arranged the formation enchantment in the courtyard again, just finished everything, turned around, and sat down next to Xue Yuan at the table:

"It's really striking to hear deeper news for a while, but ...... If you just inquire about the basic situation of Shahai City, it is very reasonable. ”

After all, Shahai City is too low-key in the eyes of many people on the Kyushu Continent, and they know very little about it, and these two foreign monks have traveled over with curiosity for a while, and they can't get much news of Shahai City from other places, and now after entering the city, it is also common sense to ask people, and it is not strange.

Xue Yun quickly came back to his senses when he heard Xiao Luo's words, thought about it for a while and nodded: "Indeed, since we are foreign monks, it is normal for us to not know enough about Shahai City and ask more. But...... If you can inquire about these processes..."

Xiao Luo shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, don't act rashly first, and see the situation in two days." ”

Xue Yuan paused and sighed: "...... Well. ”

Just like Xiao Luo, the two of them are too eye-catching, even if they are just ordinary words, talking to the two of them and talking to Pan Rao, I'm afraid that the people in Shahai City will not have exactly the same thoughts. At this time, if there is a temptation in their words, it is good that the other party does not notice it, but once some of them are suspicious......

On the contrary, it is not good for the future.
