Chapter 379: Dust and Sand God Statue
Although Xie Shouxin also came to the Golden Dragon Continent for the first time, his understanding of this place was still not comparable to Gu Zheng.
According to what he said, the current realm within a radius of five hundred miles all belonged to the fiefdom of a Dust Sand Sword King, and dozens of large and small cities within five hundred miles were also under the jurisdiction of the Dust Sand Sword King.
As Xie Shouxin expected, there was a Yunhai City thirty miles away, which was a place where nearby humans often worshipped the statue of the god. Even the coastal town is now under the supervision of the idol.
"You mean, we go straight into the city?" asked Gu Zheng.
He has now also initially adapted to some of the environment here, the so-called city is not a place where mortals gather like the Sword Yuan Continent, but a real city of Xuan Sword Master, almost every city has a statue of the king god.
"Yes, that's where the strong and the most sources are located, and we might be able to gain a lot from our trip. Xie Shouxin said bluntly.
On the same day, the four of them left the seaside town and rushed to the nearby Yunhai City.
The walls of Yunhai City do not appear to be tall, but symbolically divide the inside and outside of the city into two worlds.
Gu Zheng and the four of them stood outside the city gate, and he was very keenly aware of the difference in the city wall.
"The city wall naturally can't restrict the entry and exit of the Xuan Sword Master, but the formation on this city wall is not something that ordinary people can break through, I'm afraid that only the Sword King of the Spirit Elephant Realm has a chance. "As a formation sword master, Gu Zheng's first sense is the heavy formations arranged on the city wall, which must be the Spirit Realm.
The four of them entered the city, and each of them paid a low-grade earth crystal, and this alone provided a rich entry for this ever-flowing city.
After Gu Zheng entered the city, his feeling was even different, the Xuan power in this Cloud Sea City was several times stronger than that of the outside world, no wonder so many people would rather hand over Xuan Jing to enter the city.
As if he saw Gu Zheng's thoughts, Xie Shouxin said with a smile: "Ordinary people enter the city mainly not to cultivate here. There is that Xuanjing, even outside the city, it is not far away. ”
Gu Zheng thought about it, one inferior earth Xuanjing a day was enough to make up for the gap between the Xuanli inside and outside the city.
"What's that for?" Gu Zheng said curiously.
"The most important thing is to worship the idol in order to get the favor of the king god. In addition, the city is the place where all kinds of trade are prevalent, and many resources cannot be bought outside the city. The four of them walked on the wide spar avenue, Xie Shouxin said.
This spar laid on the ground also made Gu Zheng secretly speechless, it was clearly a Xuanjing ore, no wonder the Xuanjing power here was better than that outside the city.
The resources in the city are more abundant, and this Gu Zheng can still understand, but the so-called favor of the gods, he is really confused for a while.
"Just check it out. Xie Shouxin didn't say anything more, and took the lead in the direction of the center of the city.
Needless to say, Gu Zheng has also seen that this is the place where the so-called god statue is located.
Along the way, Gu Zheng was dazzled, this city was indeed a gathering place for Xuan Sword Masters, and Xuan Sword Masters in the Earth Elephant Realm could be seen everywhere, and their performance was very low-key.
Even, he saw that the guards at the gate of a high-gate compound turned out to be all powerhouses of the Earth Elephant Realm.
After Xie Shouxin's previous reminder, Gu Zheng didn't dare to investigate wantonly with his divine soul, there must be many kings here, how could he provoke at will?
Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh again at the prosperity here, especially the population, a city that covers an area of no more than a hundred miles, the population is afraid to exceed one million, except for some children, almost all of them are Xuanjian masters.
Gu Zheng secretly calculated that I am afraid that just the powerhouse of the Xuan Sword Master in this seaside city is worth the entire Sword Yuan Continent. Moreover, this is not counting the hidden Spirit Elephant Sword King.
Gu Zheng and Xie Shouxin both restrained their breath and took Xie Qingyun and Xie Qingshan, two teenagers, to shuttle through the flow of people, at a very fast speed.
When approaching the center of the city, Gu Zheng clearly felt something unusual, as if the flow of people from all directions was converging in one direction. There is no need for Xie Shouxin to remind him, Gu Zheng also knows that these people are probably going to worship the statues.
Turning another intersection, his eyes suddenly opened up, Gu Zheng glanced at it, and couldn't help but marvel slightly.
In front of me, it can be called a sea of people, and there are more than 50,000 people. But even so, this place still seems loose and empty, which shows the size of this open space.
What is even more rare is that so many people are gathered together, and there is no sense of noise, not even whispering, because they are sitting on the ground with reverent faces, facing the statue of the god standing tall in the center.
"This is the statue of the Dust Sand Sword King?" Of course, Gu Zheng was also attracted to his gaze, and fixed his eyes on the statue that could not be more conspicuous thousands of feet away.
The statue of the god is the color of white jade, so vivid that it is almost indistinguishable from a real person. But it stands on a hundred zhang high platform, vaguely surrounded by mist, it looks extraordinary, as if it has fallen from the sky.
Through this idol clone, you can appreciate the extraordinary demeanor of this dust and sand sword king, the bearded middle-aged appearance of the rich god Yujun, holding the Xuanjian and his gentle gaze, making people feel like a spring breeze, as if they are looking at him in any direction.
"This is the Dust and Sand Sword King, I heard that he was sealed here more than fifty years ago, and it has long been the peak realm of the Spirit Elephant. Xie Shouxin said, it seems that on this occasion, he doesn't want to interfere loudly.
"Of course, it is also the pinnacle of the spirit elephant, and the difference in strength between each person is also very large. Such as the Golden Dragon Throne, I am afraid that a god idol clone can suppress this Dust and Sand Sword King. Xie Shouxin continued.
Gu Zheng nodded secretly, a canonized sword king, compared to the lord of the continent, it is naturally not the same.
"Do you see the man sitting under the idol? He is the messenger of the idol of this city. Xie Shouxin looked into the distance.
Gu Zheng had already noticed that under the statue, there was an old man in a yellow robe who was hovering cross-legged. This person has a strong aura on his body, and there is no need for Xie Shouxin to say it, Gu Zheng also knows that he is a Spirit Elephant Realm Sword King, and his cultivation is about the same as Xie Shouxin.
"If anyone makes a disturbance here, the Idol Messenger has the right to kill him on the spot. Xie Shouxin reminded.
Gu Zheng once again swept his eyes at the crowd of black oppression, most of them were Xuanjian masters who were cultivating, and a small number of them were children who had not yet awakened, following the elders of the family to worship here.
"Every day there are people here who are favored by the gods, who are chosen and have the opportunity to enter the temple to receive the gifts. Xie Shouxin pointed to a yellow hall a hundred zhang away behind the statue, and teased.
"The so-called idol favor, generally people with strong beliefs, will be chosen by the gods. The gift he received can be said to be a great opportunity for ordinary people. Xie Shouxin continued.
"Those who are favored can first really gain a foothold in this city and get a house or a cave. Secondly, it is to choose the opportunity that suits you in the temple, such as pills, swordsmanship, formation bones, heavenly and earth treasures, etc., and even hope to be reused and become a member of the temple. Xie Shouxin said.
He used to be the messenger of the Frost Throne, in charge of a city on his behalf, and talking about these treasures is like a treasure, but it has opened Gu Zheng's eyes and made him feel quite novel.
"So, you should know why so many people go to the city to worship day after day, at all costs. Once they are favored by the gods, it is tantamount to a fish leaping into the dragon gate, a great opportunity. Xie Shouxin returned to Gu Zheng's question just now, and said with a smile in his eyes.
"In the consensus of people on various continents, outside the city where there is no god statue, it is like an abandoned land, not to mention the lack of resources, and the danger of suffering from natural and man-made disasters at any time. So, who can resist this temptation? It's just a means for the kings to win over people's hearts. Xie Shouxin sighed slightly.
Between the two of them, they were already preparing to leave here, as the Spirit Elephant King, they didn't have the intention of worshipping other Sword King idols.
But at this moment, the statue in the distance suddenly changed, as if it came to life, a pair of eyes flowed, shooting out a divine light, heading straight for Gu Zheng.
