Chapter 1123: Jiuhua City
The whole city of Jiuhua City is under martial law, and it is solemn.
Xiao Fan had heard of Jiuhua City more than once, and in his imagination, it was a prosperous city. Who knew that after arriving, I knew that the so-called "Jiuhua City" was really not worthy of its name. Compared with Golden State City, it is not above the same grade at all, and it is a small town at best.
What especially surprised Xiao Fan was that there were still many mortals living together in Jiuhua City.
It makes sense that the bustling city is inhabited by mortals. After all, if you are attached to the powerful Xiuzhen Sect, you can avoid war and security. For example, the outer city of Jinzhou City is much larger than the inner city, and the number of mortals living in the city is more than a hundred times that of cultivators.
But in a border town like Jiuhua City, there are actually a large number of mortals living there, which is a bit unexpected by Xiao Fan.
Jiuhua City was almost already in the middle of a wild world, and there were fierce beasts outside the city from time to time, although there was no threat to cultivators, but to ordinary mortals, it was extremely deadly. It's not a livable city.
Seeing that Xiao Fan was surprised, Fan Ming explained a few words in a low voice.
In a small border city like Jiuhua City, most of the people living in the city are demon beast hunters, all of them are vulgar, they go out to hunt demon beasts, and they also pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers for a living, and they will die in the wild world one day, and they will become a meal in the belly of demon beasts. Therefore, when these people were in the city, they spent all their days drinking and drinking, and never restrained their temperament.
A large number of mortals in this city are here to serve these demon beast hunters.
Many of them are young beauties.
The ratio of men and women in the cultivation realm is strictly out of balance, and the number of male cultivators is far higher than that of female cultivators, and those demon beast hunters whose cultivation is not high. If you want to spend time drinking, you can only find a mortal woman. Fortunately, there are far more mortals than monks. But it is the "supply" that is safe.
Xiao Fan suddenly realized.
When everyone came out of the teleportation hall, they immediately felt a heavy pressure of prohibition. When his head shrouded down, he couldn't help but look up, only to see that the sky above the entire city was covered with a gray light mask, and the power of prohibition came from this light mask.
Fan Ming's face immediately became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The city protection array has been fully opened......"
Xiao Fan is formation master, nodded when he heard this, and said, "This city protection array." The power is not small, and it seems that the person who arranged the magic circle at the beginning was quite unusual. ”
Fan Ming bowed his head again and again and said, "Mr. Xiao is also proficient in formations...... This great array of city protectors is indeed from the hands of famous masters, and although it is extremely powerful, it consumes too many spirit stones...... It seems that Yao Daoyou is also anxious, and he spares no expense. ”
The Yao Daoyou in Fan Ming's mouth, everyone knows, is the Yao City Lord of Jiuhua City.
Although Pham Minh is known as the "King Hunter". In essence, he is still a demon beast hunter, not a person who is in charge of Jiuhua City. The city lord of Jiuhua City, Yao City, is also a monk in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, for a long time. He has always controlled the government of Jiuhua City, collecting taxes from the monks who trade in the city, and also operating the trade of demon beast materials. With Fan Ming, these famous monster hunters. All maintain a good relationship.
Wuwei Zhenren asked, "Fan Daoyou, this is the case." Did it happen a lot before? ”
Fan Ming shook his head and said, "Fan has been in the city for many years. This is the first time I have seen the Great Protective Array open in full force. It is said that a long time ago, there was often a large-scale monster beast siege frenzy in the wilderness, and many famous wild cities were destroyed in the beast tide. But such a situation has long been a thing of the past. Now within tens of thousands of miles west of Jiuhua City, there are no high-level demon beasts to be seen. Relatively speaking, Jiuhua City is very safe. ”
"Well, it seems that this time, it's really unusual."
When the next group of people walked forward, they saw that between the markets, it was very bleak, and few people walked. Occasionally, I saw a few pedestrians, but they were also in a hurry, and patrols walked by from time to time. It's just that the rank of the patrol disciples is not high, most of them are at the level of the foundation building period, and there are rare Jindan monks.
Seeing Mr. Bing and the others coming from a distance, these patrols stood still, lowered their eyebrows, and didn't even dare to take a breath.
Before he went to the city lord's mansion, there were several rays of light flying out, the first one, five big and three thick, wearing a black robe, about fifty or sixty years old, a white beard, messy, and quite powerful, as if reckless Zhang Fei, his body exuded the spiritual pressure of the middle of the Yuan Infant.
Fan Ming said in a low voice: "This is Yao Daoyou......"
The three people who followed behind the Lord of Yao City also had the cultivation of the early stage of the Yuan Infant.
"Haha, Brother Fan, are you back? It's wonderful...... I thought you weren't coming back......"
City Lord Yao saw Fan Ming at a glance and immediately laughed and greeted him.
Fan Ming snorted and said, "These ghosts are so rampant, can Fan Mouyan stop here?" ”
"It's true that Brother Fan can come back, and Yao is overjoyed...... But I don't know what to call these Taoist friends? ”
As soon as he received the Wanli Fu from the deacon disciples of the transmission hall in the City Lord's Mansion, he said that a bunch of Yuanying masters had come, and he immediately rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible. Now that the ghosts are pressing, the whole city is under martial law, and many monks have already fled, and he is feeling that the manpower is tight, so there are many fellow Yuanying Daoists, and they are naturally very happy.
Fan Ming immediately introduced him.
The more the City Lord Yao listened, the more frightened he became, and hurriedly greeted Mr. Xiao Fan and the others, expressing his welcome.
"Mr. C, Mr. Xiao, fellow Daoists, this is not a place to talk, please go to Yao's Humble House to serve tea ......"
Although they were all masters of the middle Yuan Infant period, in the eyes of the Yao City Lord, they still had the most noble status of the two medical saints, although he could also see that Xiao Fan was extremely young, but he did not dare to despise it at all. Young is young, and people's cultivation is not fake. Although Xiao Fan tried his best to restrain his aura, City Lord Yao still felt Xiao Fan's incomparably toughness. After all, he had been in the wilderness for a long time, dealing with all kinds of fierce birds and beasts, and his sensing power was far more acute than that of ordinary monks of the same level.
Of course, the nine people in this line are all mid-Yuan Infant cultivators, and in the feeling of the Yao City Lord, Xiao Fan's true combat power is at least among the top three.
Under the guidance of the city lord Yao, the group entered the city lord's mansion.
Although it is a wild and bitter cold place, the small city of Puer, the city lord's mansion is also very exquisitely decorated, quite rich, but it is similar to Fan Ming's original introduction, the city of this wild land is the capital of red dust desire, and it is proud of worldly wealth. As a monk in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty, Lord Yao is not exempt from vulgarity.
Most of the maidservants waiting in the city lord's mansion are mortal women, and they can't be powered, but they are all young and delicate, beautiful as flowers, and they are rare beauties.
It's just that at this moment, naturally no one is in the mood to appreciate the beauties, and they all look solemn.
After the maidservants offered the fragrant tea spirit fruit, the city lord of Yao waved his hand and drove out all the irrelevant people.
Fan Ming immediately asked: "Brother Yao, but in just a few days, you have opened the big array to protect the city, could it be that the ghosts have already attacked the city?" ”
City Lord Yao smiled bitterly and asked rhetorically, "What does Brother Fan think?" Yao is not so many spirit stones that there is nowhere to go...... The speed of the ghost's advance was extremely fast, and after Brother Fan was injured and left, in just a few days, all the colleagues who were stranded outside the city were almost wiped out. Just three days ago, hundreds of miles outside the city, there were already traces of ghosts. ”
The Sect Master of the Lingyun Sect immediately asked, "Daoyou Yao, what are these ghosts capable of so much that the entire army of fellow Daoists who have left the city is gone?" Is it so difficult to deal with? ”
Fan Ming said that he accidentally fell into the encirclement of ghosts and was besieged by countless ghosts, so he was defeated and lost.
The wry smile on the face of the city lord Yao was even worse, and he said: "There is nothing special about ghosts, and the cultivation is not very high, but there are many of them, and they are not afraid of death, they rush up wave after wave, and they can't be killed, and you can't resist even if you have magical powers." ”
"In that case, how does City Lord Yao plan to deal with it. If the ghosts really attack the city on a large scale, no matter how powerful your protective array is, I am afraid that it will not be able to protect it. ”
City Lord Yao said slowly: "What Daoist friends said is extremely true, but since Yao is the city lord of Jiuhua City, he can't just abandon the city and flee without fighting, right?" There are still a large number of low-level disciples and mortals in the city who have not evacuated, and most of the teleportation arrays have long been closed. ”
Xiao Fan exclaimed: "City Lord Yao's words have won the way of forgiveness of the saint, and Xiao fully agrees. It is still necessary to evacuate the mortals in the city as much as possible, in the face of ghosts, they have no power to resist, and there is no need to make senseless sacrifices. ”
Mr. Bing said in a deep voice: "Yao Daoyou, the old man is waiting here to find out the reason for the sudden flood of ghosts in the wild land, I don't know what Yao Daoyou has for this?" ”
"Mr. C is serious, and he doesn't dare to give advice...... If you want to find out why, I'm afraid you'll have to go deep into the Savage World. Brother Fan was in distress in the Ruthless River a few days ago, do a few Taoist friends plan to go deep into the Ruthless River? ”
City Lord Yao's face became more and more solemn.
"That's exactly what I mean."
City Lord Yao shook his head again and again, and said slowly, "Don't ...... That ruthless river has been infested with ghosts for a long time, and now it has become a base camp for ghosts. Although a few Taoist friends are amazing, there are too many ghosts, and they are ignorant, so I think it's better not to take risks. Moreover, once a few Taoist friends leave the city, Yao will never open the city protection array to accept you back to the city. The ghost thing is outside the city, for the safety of the city, this is a helpless thing, and please think twice......"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other, and many people showed hesitation and hesitation on their faces.
They came here to keep the deal with the Savage World, but now the entire Savage World is full of fierce ghosts, which is very different from their original imagination, whether they want to go deep into the Ruthless River to investigate, but they really have to think twice.
"I'll go check it out first."
After a while, Xiao Fan said slowly.
"You're going alone?"
Wuwei Zhenren immediately asked, his face full of surprise.
Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going to test it first, if the ghost thing is too strong, I will immediately withdraw to the city." ”
"In that case, let's go together."
Without waiting for the others to speak, Mr. C made a decision directly. (To be continued......)
