Qusong City.

Fang Dang walked into this city made of mortals.

Each of the cities in the sea of clouds is basically like an island, independent of the sea of clouds.

In addition to those quite large cities or cities on the traffic arteries can have cloud boat traffic, the rest of the cities are in the endless sea of clouds in a leaf boat, such as the Yiye Hall under the jurisdiction of this Qusong City, the scale is not large, the terrain is partial, basically rarely communicate with the outside, so it has its own unique civilization characteristics, showing a unique clothing, unique aesthetics and even a unique language.

The Danshi of Yiyetang basically does no harm to the trees, flowers and even the animals and birds that inhabit the towering trees, but the people here cannot eat and drink like the Danshi, they want to eat and live, they have to hunt, they have to pick fruits, and they have to cut trees for warmth.

Fang Dang walked in the city, the people here basically carried bows and arrows, wearing clothes made of animal skins and bird feathers, saying that it was a city, in fact, it was more like a big tribe, but it was more civilized than the tribe, more primitive than the city, or in between.

The walls are made of trees and stones, and they are not very high, just over two meters, and there are no other castles around, so this simple wall must have been used to defend against wild beasts around it.

It can be seen that the beasts here are quite fierce, there are many scratches left on the walls of more than two meters high, and the stones in the upper netherworld are quite hard, even Jin Dan Danshi has to use force to make scratches, these beasts can easily leave scratches on the stones, and fighting such beasts is really a little too difficult for ordinary mortals.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this pressure that the people here, young and old, are armed with weapons, and can turn into warriors at any time, spilling their blood for their lives.

Then Fang Dang frowned slightly, he saw the women walking on the street, these women were not like Fang Dang saw in other cities to wrap themselves tightly, the women here were generally wearing leather clothes, perhaps because it was difficult to obtain leather, so most of the clothes on their bodies were only used to cover the key parts of their bodies.

Qusong Castle was built under a towering tree, and the people in the city lived under the canopy all year round, and their skin was not exposed to the sun, so the skin of these women appeared very white and quite clean.

There is nothing in these books, but many of them have cut off the left side of the breast and room, of course, there are also a very few of them have cut off the right side of the milk and room, which makes Fang Dang feel surprised, Fang Dang really can't understand such a custom, so Fang Dang fell out of Lin Shui's memory.

Subsequently, Fang Dang suddenly understood that it was originally done for archery, cutting off the left side of the left hand, cutting off the right side of the right hand is the right hand, here not only men go to the battlefield, women also have to go to the battlefield, if it is not for the great pressure of survival, there must not be this kind of self-mutilation.

Judging from the scratches on the city walls, those beasts are powerful, and the most effective way to fight them is to shoot them from a distance, and once they are close to them, with the physique of mortals, it is very difficult to deal with.

That's why there are so many bow-bearers among the people of this city.

Subsequently, Fang Dang was surprised to find a woman who had both sides cut off on the left and right, and sure enough, he saw two quivers behind her.

This woman is respected everywhere she goes.

Fang Dang also felt that this woman was worthy of respect!

Fang Dang wandered around the city for a day, watching that it was close to evening in the afternoon, which was the only time that the city could be covered in sunlight, and the city at this time seemed warm and quiet.

Fang Dang found a simple restaurant to sit down, life in this city is difficult, and there are not many people who can come out to eat in the restaurant, so there are only three or five restaurants in the entire city, and the business is relatively cold.

Seeing that it was the Danshi of Yiye Hall coming, the shopkeeper of the restaurant hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, the disciples of Yiye Hall had a transcendent status in this city, but it was not how popular it was, and people were more afraid of the Danshi of Yiye Hall who could fly with cranes.

If you think about it, you can understand that as a sect of cultivating immortals, you don't care too much about the life and death of mortals, this city is a place where Yiye Hall grazes, if there is a beast attacking Yiye Hall, the Danshi will not make a move, unless the beast is too strong, the city is in danger of being slaughtered, but this kind of time is actually not much, in addition, since this city is under the name of Yiye Hall, it is necessary to support Yi Ye Tang, and Yi Ye Tang will give this city some tasks every year, and it is naturally the best to complete it, and if it is not completed, there will be punishments, in this case, these guys who can fly around with cranes and have strong power are actually full of hatefulness in the eyes of mortals。

Jeddah is a boy who has just turned ten years old in Qusong City, and today is a big day for him, because today, he has officially become a shooter and a real man.

On their tenth birthday, the children of Qusong City will receive a bow and arrow made by their father, which is his rite of passage.

However, Gilda's father had been killed in battle three years earlier while defending against the wolf, so his bow and arrows were forged by his uncle.

For the death of his father, Gilda is not sad, a man from Qusong City, it is a supreme honor to die in the battle with wolves and beasts, and the men die more in order to gain the respect and admiration of those women.

For Gilda, his greatest dream in life is to have a bow, kill countless wolfbeasts, and then die under the claws of wolfbeasts. This is also a portrayal of the lives of most people in Qusong City.

When Jeddah woke up in the morning, he washed his face clean, and his mother cooked him noodles and a bird's egg, and of course the claws of the wolf.

Only by eating the claws of the wolf beast can you have the strength to hunt the wolf beast!

This is an indispensable thing for the coming-of-age ceremony of Qusong City.

Gilda devoured his claws, especially the wolf beast's claws were full of tendons, which were so hard that Gilda wanted to bang his head on the table, but no matter how hard he was, he swallowed them all into his stomach, which made his stomach feel a little painful.

But this pain is nothing to Jeddah.

After breakfast, Gilda wiped her mouth and ran out of the door with a smile, her mother's face full of relief, but then a trace of sadness rose on her relieved face.

In fact, if possible, she hopes that her children will never grow up, never need to take a bow, when you have a bow in your hand, it is the time to go to the city wall, on the city wall, life and death are not your own words, you can even say, no one can say that it doesn't count.

Seeing that the child she had worked so hard to grow up was about to embark on the road of no return, didn't that mother have mixed feelings in her heart?

Jeddah came to the largest square in Qusong City half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, when he came, there were already seven or eight teenagers here, he greeted them, and they also greeted him with eyebrows, today is his big day, these guys are his friends, specially to bless him.

Gilda stood in front of a group of friends with a flushed face, and took the bow and arrow handed over by his uncle with the snake tendons of the snake and the branches of the towering tree, Gilda couldn't put it down and stroked the bow and arrow, and then arrogantly put the bow and arrow on his back, ushering in a burst of ridicule from the friends around him.

Everyone giggled.

The uncle smiled and took out a piece of spirit wood from his arms and said with a smile: "It's a man, you should go drink!"

The eyes of the friends around him immediately lit up, and Jeddah now suspected that these guys were specially here to eat and drink, but they couldn't be stingy at this time!

With those seven or eight friends, he walked to the restaurant to buy wine and vegetables, and entertained his brothers like a man.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Immortal, what do you want to eat?"

Fang searched Lin Shui's memory, and then said: "Red leaves burn a jar, and a plate of Lingzhang vegetables." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and went to do it, and the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law stepped forward and poured hot tea for Fang Dang.

The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law is also apparently a shooter and is right-handed, which is obvious.

The whole city is full of soldiers.

Fang Dang took a sip of tea,

Fang Dang just came to find a reasonable way to die, in Yiye Hall, he couldn't just say that he would die, and if he didn't have a sect mission in him, he couldn't just walk out of the range of the towering giant tree, Fang Dang wanted Lin Shui to die, so he had to come here to try his luck, but at this time, Fang Dang found that it was not so easy to want to die, let alone be reasonable to die, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.

Sometimes it's hard to live, but it seems harder to die than to live.

Fang Dangzheng had a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and the sound of giggling came from outside the restaurant, and the child's voice was always more harsh.

Fang Dang frowned and looked at the dolls who came in with laughter.

The shopkeeper saw the majestic Jeddah with a brand-new bow and arrow behind him, and immediately smiled: "Little Jida came to take care of your uncle's business on the first day?"

With a wave of his hand, Gilda put the piece of spiritual wood on the table, and shouted in the tone of the men in the city, "Just come up with good food and drink." ”

The shopkeeper scolded with a smile: "The wings of the little animal have not yet grown, so the hooves are shown first, and your uncle Sun has made an exception today when he watched you grow up, and the wine you drank is mine." ”

The shopkeeper's daughter-in-law smiled at this time: "Your uncle is stingy, he knows that you little children don't drink much, so please drink, if I were you, I would eat less food and drink more wine for a while, and give him a good job of stinginess!"

A group of little rabbits claimed to be.

The shopkeeper's short face was not red and his heart was not beating: "Daughter-in-law Hugh wants to talk nonsense, you look at Jeddah's square face and fat cheeks, the red face hall looks like a wine man, I used to be young, that is not allowed to drink, but now I am an adult with a bow and arrow in hand, tsk, drinking wine is not the same as white water?"

As soon as the shopkeeper said this, Jeddah's cheeks were already red before the wine was touched, and his head was already dizzy.

Then a group of teenagers clamored for food and wine, and the deserted restaurant became lively for a while.

Fang Dang picked up the wine jar at this time, took the dishes and walked out of the restaurant, at this time the sky was already dark, looking up from here, he could only see the canopy that covered the sky, and he couldn't see the stars in the sky.

Fang Dang jumped up, and a crane roared from a distance, and then Fang Dang felt that his body was slightly light, and at this time he had been humped up by the red-crowned crane.

Fang Dang smiled slightly bitterly, this crane was so intimate, he obviously wanted to jump on the tree trunk above his head.

Leaving behind the laughter of those teenagers, Fang Dang sat on the red-crowned crane, put the wine and food away, Fang Dang took a piece of spiritual palm and threw it in the air, and the red-crowned crane skillfully swallowed it.

Fang Dang couldn't help but smile, and his fingers led the red leaves to burn out like a snake, and sent them directly into the mouth of the red-crowned crane.

The red-crowned crane drank with a crunt, and let out a cry of pleasure as it drank.

Fang Dang also took a sip, I have to say, the taste is not too good, after all, it is a small shop's wine and food, and it is impossible to be delicious.

Since Fang Dang understood the evil of the Nine Tricks and cared about the three essentials, he had a stronger resistance to the temptation of wine, and at the same time, his love for delicious food had also plummeted.

Fang Dang looked at the city that was gradually getting dark under him.

The people in the city go to bed early, which is nothing, the people here have a difficult life, and there are naturally few entertainment activities, and when it gets dark, most people are reluctant to light oil lamps, so they go to bed early.

The whole city was at peace, except for the bonfires on the walls.

Fang Dang levitated in the air and stared at the quiet city, and his heart began to become peaceful.

Brother Crane flapped his wings slightly, then turned his head and gently rubbed Fang Dang's shoulder with his long beak.

Fang Dang subconsciously reached out and gently patted the hard and sharp beak, when his fingers touched Brother He's beak, Fang Dang knew that he was under the influence of Lin Shui, and this action was an action that Lin Shui often did.

After all, Lin Shui is a third-grade green danshi, a level stronger than Fang Dang of the fourth-grade blue dandan, although such a guy Fang Dang took advantage of the chaos to accept him, it is not an easy thing to completely conquer him.

Although he knew that he was affected by Lin Shui, Fang Dang didn't care, and he didn't deliberately eliminate this influence, everything just went with the flow.

Sure enough, as Fang Dang relaxed and calmed down, the influence of the forest water began to fade gradually, and finally disappeared without a trace. Now, Lin Shui is actually really dead, and he is truly silent in the boundless darkness.

Brother Crane seemed to notice something in the air and was slightly stunned, staring at Fang Dang with a pair of big eyes, looking at Fang Dang's pure eyes.

Fang Dang felt a burst of murderous attack, and at the same time, Fang Dang reined in his breath and replaced it with Lin Shui.

In this way, Brother Crane shook his head suspiciously, and after taking a closer look at Lin Shui, he rubbed his beak against Fang Dang's shoulder again.

Fang Dang gently patted Brother He's sharp beak again, and Brother Crane was really happy.

Fang Dang suddenly remembered something, his divine thoughts were in his mind, and immediately, Fang Dang saw that there was an extra ninth-level floating slaughter on the golden wheel in front of the Buddha statue, this floating slaughter was completely black, but it was hanging upside down under the golden wheel, Fang Dang smiled slightly bitterly, and asked, "Why is this floating slaughter two stories higher?"

The Buddha statue spoke: "The two extra layers come from your heart, at the beginning, this Black Floating Buddha originally had only seven layers, one of these two layers is called apology, and the other layer is called uneasiness. ”

Fang Dang's brows furrowed slightly, he was sorry that Fang Dang didn't have it originally, but when he saw the crane called Brother Crane, Fang Dang would inevitably feel sorry in his heart, but Fang Dang didn't understand the other uneasiness, he didn't feel that he had any uneasiness.

"Anxiety comes from the bottom of your heart, no one can overcome it, and if you can overcome the anxiety in your heart, then you will become a Buddha. The Buddha statue seemed to know what Fang Dang was thinking.

Fang Dang didn't dwell too much on this, but asked, "Now I have a seventh-level floating slaughter plus a ninth-level black floating slaughter, which means that I have a great possibility of turning into a demon in the future?"

The Buddha statue nodded and said, "That's right, so you have to make more merits, and when your heart is stable and happy, you can fight to cancel the evil consequences brought about by this ninth-level Black Floating Slaughter." ”

At this time, the sharp horn violently tore through the quiet night sky, Fang Dang's mind returned, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that there were scarlet points of light outside the city walls rapidly approaching.

Fang Dang's eyes narrowed slightly, it was a wolf-like monster, at this time in groups, afraid that there would be tens of thousands, originally they approached quietly, but when they saw that they were discovered, they immediately let out a tsunami-like roar, rushing towards the city wall, the ground was trembling, where was the two-meter-high city wall worthy of such a beast impact?

Fang Dang suddenly asked, "If I killed these beasts to protect these people, how can the merit be counted?"

"Save one person from a seventh-level floating slaughter, and kill a black floating slaughter for a lifetime. "The voice of the Buddha statue has no sorrow or joy.

"Then wouldn't I save far fewer people than the beasts I am going to kill?" Fang Dang wondered.

"Not bad. The Buddha's answer was crisp.

Fang Dang pursed his lips and didn't pay any more attention to the Buddha statue.

Fang Dang looked at it, and saw countless figures on the city wall flashing out, and with the sound of collapse, arrows poured towards the blood-red eyes in the darkness like a downpour.

The body of these arrows is made of the branches of the towering tree after being dipped in oil, and the hardness is extremely high, almost comparable to gold and iron, and the arrow is made of a kind of spar that Fang Dang has never seen before, this arrow is not hard, once it hits the object, the spar will burst open, and at the moment of bursting, it blooms with extremely strong light and heat, which can dissolve the skin and flesh of those wolves and beasts into a large hole.

The one-sided stations on the battlefield gave up the flowers of light and heat, reflecting the wolf beasts on the opposite side.

It is because of these bows and arrows that these ordinary human races can compete with those extremely strong wolf beasts.

A rain of arrows held the wolf beast two hundred meters away, and at this time countless people, men and women, all with bows and arrows, converged towards the city wall.

After a few moments, the number of arrows doubled, and the wolf beast, which had been suppressed so much that it could not take a step forward, had to retreat at this time.

The people of the city laughed and laughed, and then many people went out in droves to harvest the carcasses of wolves and beasts as they did in autumn.
