Chapter 214: White Yang City
The journey was smooth, and there were no monster attacks. Usually, there are a lot of monks walking around in this area, and even if the demon beasts were rampant before, they have already been cleaned up.
Moreover, they are numerous and imposing. No matter how reckless and stupid the demon beast is, it will not hit the stone with an egg, and it will come to the door to find a way to die.
Although Ye Hesheng had slowed down the griffin's flight as much as possible, two hours later, he still caught up with the large army in front. Unlike the pitying, sneering eyes of everyone at the city gate, at this moment everyone's eyes were glued to the griffin, all kinds of redness, jealousy, and shock.
The Tong family, who was originally in the limelight, also put away their arrogance and pride, and looked at it with complicated expressions from time to time.
The Tong family's means of travel is a golden-winged roc, which is said to be a descendant of the phoenix, and in short, it is also a very noble giant bird. Covered in golden-brown feathers, its head and claws resemble those of a griffin, including its eyes, which shimmer like gold, and the edges of its wings are sharp and sharp like a sword.
The only fly in the ointment is that this Roc is obviously in its infancy, and its size is nearly half smaller than that of the griffin, so it loses a cut in momentum.
This is a little difficult for the Tong family, who have always paid attention to face and prestige, to accept. Just think about it, the Tong family has always been prominent and wealthy, and they are used to standing on the commanding heights of wealth to look down on others and pity others.
"Hmph, what's the big deal, isn't it just a griffon? Not even a spirit animal. ”
"The golden-winged Dapeng is a descendant of the phoenix, with the bloodline of the divine beast, we haven't shown off, and the villain has the ambition! When Dapeng reaches adulthood, the griffin can only go cool! ”
From time to time, sour words came from the Tong family, and the Ye family wanted to turn a deaf ear and ignore Ye Hesheng's advice.
When resting on the road, some families came forward from time to time to inquire about the origin and origin of the griffin, and all kinds of compliments came in a steady stream. But. It didn't delay the smooth journey, and Baiyang City, which originally took three days to arrive, arrived safely after two and a half days.
The gates of Baiyang Castle are made of ordinary boulders, and there are four in total. The entire city is slightly smaller than the Sifang City. However, the terrain is flat, the structure is concentrated, and the surging crowd is like ants, and you can feel the noisy and lively atmosphere inside before you even enter.
The flying instruments and birds of each family landed one by one.
There were many other families who arrived at the same time as them, and the originally spacious city gate was surrounded by a sea of people. The line was five miles away, like a long winding dragon.
At this moment, it was just past noon, and at this rate, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the city until it gets dark, let alone stay in the hotel to rest.
Just when the leaders were anxious, a group of people suddenly poured out of the city, and soon they were divided into three groups, coming towards the front, middle, and back of the long line.
The leaves are just in the middle of them.
A middle-aged man led two young men to run, and before he could get closer, he greeted enthusiastically and loudly: "You have come from afar, you have worked hard. Please follow me through the west gate into the city! ”
There is no doubt that the words are timely rain. The anxious hearts of everyone were cooled for a moment, and everyone's faces showed joy.
The leaders of the Wang family and the Tong family hurriedly stepped forward and asked urgently, "May I ask who your Excellency is?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled heartily, "We are the Tong family of Baiyang City, obey the orders of the city lord, and come to relieve your long-awaited worries, please come with me!" ”
"It turned out to be the Tong family, thank you!" "Thank you, Brother Tong!" "Thank you, Lord Castle, for your kindness."
The leaders of the various families present thanked one after another, and then greeted their own people, led by the middle-aged man one after another. Go to the west gate.
Originally, the place where Ye Zi was located was the east gate, but now they had to go around to the west gate on the other side, and the personnel were already crowded, and it was inconvenient to summon contract beasts. Naturally, the foot travel is much slower.
Along the way, someone asked curiously, "Baiyang City has four gates, southeast, northwest and northwest, but when will there be more west gates?" ”
This is also to ask the voice of most people, everyone has more or less understood before coming, and the choice of the east gate to enter the city is also considering that it is the main gate. The gateway is wide, and the speed of entering the city should be faster, who knows......
The middle-aged man who walked in the front laughed and turned around: "Since three days ago, many families have arrived one after another, and the four city gates have been crowded, and many families have not been able to enter the city until night, but because the time is close to curfew, they can't even find the inn." This morning, the lord of the city sent people to reopen a side gate in the west, south, and north to facilitate everyone's entry and exit. ”
"I see, I wonder if there is still an inn in the city for me to recuperate?" Someone asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man smiled again, "Don't worry! There must be a place to live, but the good location is estimated to be full, you are patient to find it, a quiet and secluded place is indispensable. ”
"That's good......"
"Then rest assured......"
When everyone heard this, the worry on their faces was a little less. Ye Zi breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, these days she has been sleeping in the open and dusty, she doesn't want to go to Baiyang City, and she has to sleep on the street.
Circumambulating half of Baiyang City from east to west, half an hour later, everyone finally arrived half a mile outside the west gate.
"Wait here for a moment." The middle-aged man stopped everyone and stepped forward by himself.
Ye Zi looked up, and sure enough, it was a newly dug city gate, and the sections on the walls on both sides were still very new, and a fishy smell of sand and gravel mixed with earth came to his face.
To the left of the gate is a bulletin board that reads the rules and curfew times. On the right is a long wooden table with two large wooden frames filled with small, thin pieces of jade.
Two slightly older plain-robed monks sat behind the long table, their faces stretched and busy sorting out the roster, glancing at them from time to time.
The middle-aged man walked up to the two plain-robed old monks and said politely, "These are families from Sifang City. ”
One of the old monks raised his eyes to look at him, lowered his eyelids again, and said with a wooden face, "Wait." ”
"Okay." The middle-aged man nodded, and went back to explain to everyone, probably meaning the new city gate, and the guards have not yet lined up their posts, so they have to wait.
The leaders were busy.
It was just after noon, the sun was **, and everyone was soon covered with sweat, and drinking water could not relieve the heat and stuffiness in their hearts.
After a while, there was a "sonorous" sound of metal striking inside the city gate, and a dozen or so guards dressed neatly and wearing long swords at their waists walked out neatly, divided into two, with serious expressions and sharp eyes.
"Alright."
The old monk beckoned to the middle-aged man, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, stepped forward and asked, "What about the order?" ”
"Come one by one, I'll take a look...... The royal family of Sifang City? Ask them to come forward and count the number of people. ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly turned around and shouted, "The Wang family stepped forward." ”
The leader of the Wang family hurriedly beckoned his family to the door, and several guards stepped forward to inspect it carefully before nodding to the two old monks to let them go.
The middle-aged man received a considerable number of jade pieces from the old monk and distributed them to the Wang family one by one.
"This is a temporary pass for everyone to enter and exit Baiyang City in the next month and a half, with it, you can come and go freely, and you don't have to pay spirit stones. If you accidentally lose it, you will bear the consequences. ”
"Thank you." The leader of the Wang family thanked him politely, took out two brocade bags that had been prepared from his body, handed one to the guard, and put the other in front of the two old monks. Then he turned his head and told the people of his family, "Everyone should take good care of their jade pieces and not lose them." ”
"Yes." "Understood."
In this way, the Wang family entered the city smoothly, followed by the Tong family, and then the Mu Jing family.
It can be seen that this is a priority determined by the family's power, prestige, and status. Fourth, it was the turn of the Ye family. (To be continued.) )
