Chapter 2: The City That Never Sleeps
The child's complaint came from behind him, and Mo Nianyun pursed his lips boredly, having lost the interest in replying.
In recent days, this little child seems to be quite dissatisfied with her as an outsider, and always deliberately sours her in front of her, and she really doesn't want to be like this little child. Now that she has a body, she's in a good mood.
"Feather, don't say it! My sister heard it! The Divine Pillar has ninety-nine layers, and we can clean it with half a stick of incense, and my sister's speed may have to wait until the Jiuyang Spirit Bead turns five hundred times. ”
Mo Nianyun listened here, and agreed very much in his heart. Sure enough, the little girl is still caring, and she is not as poisonous as the boy at all. God knows, this Divine Pillar is as high as ninety-nine floors, and it is more difficult to move one by one, as if there is a very powerful force that pulls down all the objects that pass by the Divine Pillar, and the more you reach the top of the Divine Pillar, the more difficult that force is to break free, and it is simply difficult to move an inch. Asking her to clean the Divine Pillar at such a turtle speed is just kidding her!
The boy snorted coldly and said nothing more.
After a while, Mo Nianyun got up and slowly walked to the lower floor.
Finally walked to the ninety-seventh floor, Nian Yun saw a familiar figure, that person was a man, his appearance was particularly handsome, and his walking style was practiced at a glance, but his reaction was a little clumsy, so when he passed by the boundary gate, Nian Yun took a look and was impressed.
But since the time Nian Yun saw him, the Jiuyang Spirit Bead had already passed through the Divine Pillar three times, how could this person only reach the ninety-seventh floor? That's too slow, isn't it...... Are you going to grow old? Nian Yun couldn't help but feel ashamed. However, when he approached and saw the man's right foot deep in the ice path, he suddenly understood.
"You hold your breath and say 'I'm not evil' three times, and the ice path will let go of your feet."
After Nianyun finished speaking, the man looked back at her in surprise, and did so, and after a while, his feet were easily taken out of the ice road, and he happily thanked Nianyun and breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, girl, I have been trapped for a long time." ”
"I know."
Nianyun smiled, the man's face was disturbed in embarrassment, and his expression was surprised when he saw her standing barefoot on the ice road: "The girl is the apprentice of the old man guarding the door?" You won't even be sucked by the ice road! ”
Listening to what the man said, Nian Yun found that the man was stepping on a crystal like a boat under his feet, so thinking about it, she remembered that it seemed that everyone who had passed by here in recent days had to step on the ice boat to go down the mountain, she thought that this was just their strange magic weapon, but now it seems that their bodies cannot contact the ice road, otherwise they will be sucked by the ice road like the man just now. But since Nianyun first came that day, he only felt heavy when he boarded the ice road, and he never showed signs of being sucked.
"It's just that I'm staying here temporarily, my cultivation is still shallow, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to be his apprentice." Nian Yun said.
"The girl plans to enter the realm to practice?"
Nianyun nodded, and the man smiled: "The grace of rescue cannot be repaid, how about giving the girl something?" ”
Before Nian Yun could shake his head, the man had already come over and handed her a piece of moon white jade pendant in his small bag.
Nian Yun was attracted by the pattern on the jade pendant for a while, and took it, only to see that the jade was engraved with a finely carved sword, which was not ordinary at first glance, Nian Yun was about to postpone it, and when he looked up, the man had disappeared.
"Sister Nianyun."
First, there was a shout behind him, and before Nian Yun could react, a little girl appeared in front of Nian Yun at the speed of a tornado, which scared Nian Yun's heart. Nian Yun stroked his chest, finally calmed down, and asked, "Yu Xian?" What's wrong? Although she had become accustomed to the terrifying movement speed of two children in the past few days, she still felt terrified every time she appeared.
Yu Xian was a little confused by her frightened appearance, and then handed her a letter: "Master is gone, leave a letter for you to hand over to the city lord of the Sleepless City, Qianyong." ”
"Gone?" Nian Yun took it in confusion, "I think it's strange, why didn't he let you send it?" Do you have to find an outsider? ”
When the little girl heard this, she said something that made Nianyun seem to understand: "Sister, I am the Divine Pillar, and the Divine Pillar is me." ”
……
Leaving the Gate of the Border, Mo Nianyun followed the direction guided by Yu Xian to the City that never sleeps. The Nine Yang Spirit Beads revolve around this world, giving the earth the brilliance of life, and the Sleepless City is the center of the rotation of the Nine Yang Spirit Beads, according to Yu Xian, the Sleepless City is the only place in the whole world that is always full of light. Because of this, the city that never sleeps has become a gathering place for any living being.
In order to manage order in the city, the cadres issued waist cards to the residents of the city and the merchants who had been strictly approved to pass, and no one else was allowed to enter. So when Nian Yun came to the city that never sleeps, the first problem she had to face was that she didn't have a waist card!
After thinking about it, Nian Yun explained her intention to the guards, thinking that even if the other party didn't make an exception to let her enter the city, she would pass it on to the city lord on her behalf, but who knew that a group of guards would completely treat her as a liar and bombard her away.
Nianyun had nothing to do, but when she saw a few people who also didn't have a waist card passing smoothly from her side, she couldn't help but be annoyed: "Don't you want a waist card?" Why can't they go over without that? ”
The snobbish guard listened to her and sneered: "They are all newly recruited disciples of the Sword Academy, you have the ability, you should go too?!" After speaking, he also pointed behind Nian Yun.
Nian Yun turned around when he heard the sound, and saw the tea house opposite, countless people lined up and crowded inside, a few men and women in plain robes at the door, with a blue-green saber pinned to their waists, with no expression on their faces, but when they saw the sharp eyes, they showed a few sharp edges.
Nianyun had no choice but to walk over slowly, and the crowd surging up behind her squeezed her into the queue, she looked left and right, and before she could figure out the situation, she stood at the front of the line.
"Name?" The man, who seemed to be recording something, asked her without raising his head.
"Huh?" Nian Yun didn't react.
Only then did the man look up and glare at her: "I ask you!" Name! ”
"Mo Nianyun."
"Male or female?" The man asked again.
“……”
"Are you deaf?" The man looked up at her again.
Nian Yun secretly suppressed the sullenness in his heart and said, "...... Female. ”
"How long have you been practicing?"
"Seven rays of light." Mo Nianyun didn't think about it and replied.
When the man heard this, he raised his head with a smile: "Are you kidding me?" ”
When Nian Yun heard this, he looked confused, and he was about to shake his head when he heard a series of ridicule behind him.
"This person is really funny, he has always signed up for the Sword Academy since he cultivated for seven light days."
"Hahaha......"
"This man is stupid! If all seven light days are eligible to sign up, then wouldn't we, those of us with thousands of light days, have no way out? ”
"Yes, yes, we don't have to take the test, we just become big disciples! Haha......"
