Chapter 360: The Inner City
West Ancient City.
Perhaps there is no other city built entirely on the ruins of ancient ruins, based on history, allowing people to see the traces of the distant past so clearly and unambiguously, as if they have traveled through time and space.
Everything in the city is still the same, in the style of ancient times, whether it is the dilapidated buildings or the old smooth and blackened stone pavement, and the sour smell of old houses in the air. Even the aura in the air is the smell of ancient majesty, walking in this ancient city, all of a sudden Ah Umbrella can't tell the difference between the past and the present.
Looking down at my feet, I can still see some inscriptions on the dirty and gray ground, and the font is not like now. That line of words seems to have magical power, attracting people's eyes.
"This place has been a gathering place for cultivators since ancient times." Jiufang said, fortunately, this time, there is a record of the ancient city of the West in the Jiufang Jane.
The ancient city of the West is not famous in Beizhou, but it is limited to the southeast of Beizhou, and it is a low-key overlord. But another name of the ancient city of the West is well-known in Beizhou, and even in the rest of the continents: The Lost Land.
The Lost Land is the golden age of antiquity, the sovereign land that ruled the North Continent, and it is the most prosperous place in the North Continent once, and there is no one. But what is prosperous is always short-lived. As if it had declined overnight, this prosperous land gradually disappeared from people's ears and eyes, and finally could only be seen in the jade slip records. It has gradually become a lost place in the mouths of everyone.
But no one knows that the ancient city of the West is a lost place, and even Ah Umbrella, who has seen Jiufang Jian standing here, can't imagine that the dilapidated city in front of him is a lost place of prosperity in ancient times.
"The West Ancient City is so low-key, I'm afraid it's also to keep the secret of the Lost Land." Jiufang said.
Ah Umbrella withdrew his divine sense from the Nine Directions Jane, raised his eyes to look at Changyu, but saw the thoughtful look in his eyes. When Changyu saw Ah Umbrella coming, his eyebrows relaxed, and he said, "Let's go." โ
Ah Umbrella nodded, half a step behind him, and the two walked deeper one after the other.
"It's just the outer city." Ah Umbrella said. Even in the outer city, those quaint buildings still make people feel awe-inspired. I don't know how many years have passed since these houses and streets, and how many owners have changed, are long gone. No one approached the seemingly crumbling but stubbornly preserved buildings.
The buildings in the outer city basically have owners.
New owners.
Who knew what the previous owner would have left behind in this crumbling, lifeless building? The ancient city of the west is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and the things left behind in ancient times are all good in the eyes of the monks of the ancient and modern times, and they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money to occupy them.
"Poof!"
Ah Umbrella turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a teenage boy running out of a small wooden building, because the speed was too fast, he didn't care about being careful, and knocked down the small wooden door that was not safe.
"Niang Xipi, you wait for Lao Tzu." A huge roar came from the small wooden building, but no one chased it out, and the little boy had something in his arms and had already run away. The monks who passed by looked at the small wooden building, and then at the little boy who ran away, and their eyes were about to move, and then they stopped.
The Western Ancient City is stricter than all the Immortal Cultivation Cities regarding the prohibition of fighting. After all, everything in the city is antique, and the monks can't remedy it if they move a little.
The two of them continued to walk forward, and in the distance they saw another thick and simple city wall, which was the wall of the inner city.
Near the walls of the inner city, there were circles of monks. Ah Umbrella counted, and there were five rows in the most places, and only one or two rows in the least places. In those places where there were few people, the monks sitting near the city wall were all highly cultivated, and the other monks had to watch and did not dare to come forward.
As he got closer, Ah Umbrella could see the road marks and scratches on the wall. Or the traces of swords, or the marks of whips and hammers, it seems that near this city wall, there was a huge martial arts training ground.
"Hahaha."
One of the monks opened his eyes and laughed wildly, stood up, and then hurried away. Immediately, the monk sitting behind him stepped forward, and the two monks who had been watching from the sidelines immediately stepped forward, the younger monk was faster, and grabbed the empty seat in the fifth row, and the older monk could only return in a huff.
Another vacant seat came out, Ah Umbrella's eyes were sick, and he teleported over one step faster, and as soon as he entered the range of the fifth row, Ah Umbrella felt a faint but majestic sword intent.
Ah Umbrella was shocked, sword intent!
She raised her eyes to see the sword marks on the wall in front of her, and the sword intent immediately pounced on her, as if to tell her to close her eyes, Ah Umbrella took a step back and withdrew from the fifth row, and the sword intent immediately disappeared as if it was blocked by something. The monk who was about to leave saw that Ah Umbrella had withdrawn, and he didn't care about any gentleman's courtesy, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the vacant position.
Changyu was on the side, took the umbrella slightly, separated the other monks in front of him, and said, "Let's go, enter the inner city." โ
The inner city is much larger than the outer city, but it is not as old as the outer city. Except for the land under your feet, which is from the past, you can see that most of the rest of the places are buildings from this era. Restaurants, teahouses, casinos, shops, ...... Everything is readily available. Looking at it this way, the West Ancient City and the Lost Lands have nothing to do with it.
Ah Umbrella and Changyu walked along the main road for a while and still did not see the end of the city, and what they saw was the prosperity of the city and the bustling crowd.
"Xigucheng, it's too big." Ah Umbrella felt that he couldn't go to the end of the street at all. Maybe no one can get there.
The two of them stoppedโ
"How can I find Jin Ling in this way......" Ah Umbrella was a little worried.
But Ah Umbrella's concerns were soon answered. Where there are people, there is discussion. Sometimes, rivers and lakes are just right and wrong in other people's mouths.
"I finally understand the reason why you love to come to the restaurant whenever you go to a place." Changyu said.
Ah Umbrella smiled, if it weren't for the fact that the taverns were all low-rise buildings, she might have loved the taverns more.
After getting enough news in the restaurant, Ah Umbrella and Changyu withdrew their attention and raised their glasses to drink. After drinking tea, his eyes fell to the endless crowd downstairs.
"The beauty that Luohu wants to auction must be Jin Ling." Ah Umbrella said affirmatively, "If we don't rescue Jin Ling before the auction, we can only buy it at the auction." โ
"Or......" and other auctions are over.
Things have to start with a certain topic in the restaurant hall. The major and lively events in the ancient city of West have always been a hot topic of discussion among the people. Especially the gossip of some important people. For example, the matter of Luo Hu, the sixth son of the city lord's family.
Luohu is considered high-profile in the ancient city of the west, and no one knows his name. He is the most famous person in the western ancient city in the mouth of the guys. Luo Husheng loves sexual beauties and loves to collect all kinds of beauties, both men and women. And he advocates that 'it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all', and often takes out the beauties he collects for auction.
Another reason why Luo Hu is famous is that the beauties he put up for auction are not human. This will not disgust some humane monks, but will appeal to those who are curious.
But since the last time he auctioned a male beauty, Luo Hu hasn't auctioned a beauty for a long time, and there is not even news that he continues to collect beauty. Until a few days ago, Luo Hu returned to the ancient city of the West and brought back a beauty. (To be continued.) )
