Chapter 42: The First Arrival in Stone Desert City
There is not much difference between Stone Desert City and Desert City, the same rough and heroic architectural style, and the same bold and open dressing style.
The group got off the flying demonic beast, I looked left and right, and said, "Two seniors, and the third brother, let's go to my Nalan family's shop in this city first, how about it?" β
Yun Yun and Hai Bodong were invited by me, so naturally I have no opinion. Xiao Yan hesitated, probably still having a small idea in his heart, and nodded in agreement.
I chuckled, asked for directions, and then led the way. At this time, I finally knew what the Stone Desert City was like now.
It's about the same as Qingshan Town, but it's magnified many times. The streets and alleys were filled with countless mercenaries, who were in groups or groups, giggling and talking loudly about anything.
The foul words kept coming, making Xiao Meier and the other three girls constantly frown, and their cheeks were red.
I couldn't help but frown, these mercenaries ...... Seems like it's really a mercenary?
It seems that these people were hired by the Mo family? The Mo family, it's really hard to get on the stage!
I shook my head and looked at the mercenaries coldly. With these rabble, it seems that the old man intends to use them as cannon fodder......
All the way to the Nalan family's shop in this city, after verifying his identity with the shopkeeper, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, took my hand and walked to the backyard.
As he walked, he said anxiously, "Young Master Ye, you're finally here!" Old, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time, and he specially instructed that as long as you arrive, you don't need to go in directly. β
Because the Amethyst Winged Lion King chased out of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, I was delayed in Wusi City for a long time, and it seems that it really made those old guys wait for a long time.
I turned back and chuckled at the people and led them forward. Passing through the front hall and then through the double doorway, the shopkeeper finally stopped in front of a courtyard.
When I looked closely, I saw that the courtyard was not like a courtyard, but like a fortress. The courtyard wall is made of bluestone bricks, and the four corner towers at the four corners are two zhang high, and standing on them is enough to overlook the entire stone desert city.
And what is even more frightening is undoubtedly the people who live inside......
I came to the heavy and sturdy courtyard gate, stretched out my hand and pushed it, and the courtyard door slowly opened, revealing an ordinary courtyard.
There is a stone table in the courtyard, on which is placed a chessboard, around which three old men are sitting, two playing chess, one watching chess, and a young girl standing on the other side.
The person watching chess obviously didn't know the words "a true gentleman who doesn't say anything about chess", and was constantly pointing fingers on the side.
The goatees of the two old men playing chess were about to, and there was a majestic fighting spirit around them, and they stared at the old man who opened their mouths, and they almost didn't punch it.
One fighting king, two fighting spirits.
I coughed dryly and said, "Grandson Nalan Ye, I've seen the old man, I've seen the grandfather, I've seen the alchemy elder. β
From the point of view of the three old men, it is naturally Nalan Ji who is pointing fingers. A kind smile appeared on his somewhat pale face, and he said, "Little Yezi, you have finally arrived." β
Nalan Tie also nodded and said, "Ye'er is here." β
The Medicine Refining Elder was undoubtedly the most excited, if this trip was successful, the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire was distributed to him, how could he not be excited?
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Ye'er, you must be thirsty all the way, right?" Yiling, don't hurry up and serve tea to your brother Ye. β
The girl standing on the side was none other than the granddaughter of the alchemy elder, Nalan Yiling. She chuckled at me and turned to serve tea.
I smiled bitterly, and hurriedly waved my hand and said, "Old man, there are two grandfathers, and my grandson brought a distinguished guest, so I still don't drink tea yet." β
I exited the courtyard and invited Yun Yun and Hai Bodong in. These three old guys are old, and they not only know Yun Yun, but also Hai Bodong, an old monster who has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years.
Seeing Hai Bodong, the three of them showed surprise on their faces, even more surprised than when they saw Yun Yun.
Nalan Ji glanced at me, arched his hand towards Hai Bodong, and said in a deep voice: "Ice Emperor...... It's been a long time, it's been more than 20 years, right? All these years, is the Ice Emperor okay? β
"Not good, of course not. If he is well, the old man should stay in the city of Gama, where will he come to this place to live in seclusion? β
Hai Bodong waved his hand, looked at Nalan Ji left and right, and saw that his face was not good, he smiled, and said gloatingly: "It's you, Marshal Lionheart of the Empire, who doesn't look very good." β
"Let the Ice Emperor smile, two years ago, he entered the Demon Beast Mountain Range, slaughtered the head of the branding iron poison brand, but he was also poisoned by the beast. Alas, people are old and can't bear it......"
In front of this Ice Emperor, Nalan Jian finally let go of that rebelliousness, and said that he was old with some dejection.
Hearing this, the tip of my nose was slightly sore. Thinking about it carefully, I can cultivate to a one-star fighter so quickly, and I can swagger through the market outside, isn't it all this old man behind my back?
After a pause, Nalan Ji laughed again, turned his head to look at Yun Yun, and arched his hand and said, "Sect Master Yun is also here, with two of them to help, it seems that this trip should be nine out of ten." β
"Well, I'll be able to drink spirits for a few more years and eat meat for a few more years."
Yun Yun bowed back and said softly, "Marshal Lionheart." β
Hai Bodong smiled, turned his head to look at the alchemy elder Nalan Dong, hesitated, and asked, "Nalan Ji, what is the charter for this trip?" Where is the fire in the heart of the earth? And how to get it? β
"The old man has come all the way, and he can see that there are a lot of people gathered in the city, how can the old man help?"
Nalan Ji laughed and said, "The Ice Emperor is a Douhuang powerhouse, so why can't he help?" β
Hai Bodong was slightly stunned, and immediately, he briefly explained his situation, and then asked suspiciously, "You don't know?" β
Nalan Ji was a little surprised, no wonder this old guy has disappeared for more than 20 years, and there are so many twists and turns?
Then he rolled his eyes, shook his head very dryly, and said, "I really don't know. β
He turned his head to look at me and shouted, "Nalan Ye, the two Dou Emperors are here, and we old guys are also here, you should always tell me your plan now, right?" β
"Uncle, I promise, Qinglian Earth Heart Fire definitely has it!"
I stepped forward and said with certainty. I looked left and right again, hesitated, and said: "Uncle, now that the people have not arrived, why don't you gather all the principals in Stone Desert City in the past two days, and I can talk together, how about it?" β
Nalan Ji immediately snorted coldly and scolded: "You kid has a lot of ghost eyes." Lao Tzu told you that if something goes wrong in this operation, you don't have to go back to Gama City, just stay here for the rest of your life! β
I shrugged helplessly, and Hai Bodong smacked his lips, looked at me in surprise, and said, "This action was actually planned by this little doll?" β
Hai Bodong looked at me with deep eyes, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Little doll, the Nalan family doesn't want you, you can come to our Mitre family, and the old man will pick a good-looking girl to marry you!" β
"The younger generation already has a fiancΓ©e, so don't worry about the seniors."
I rolled my eyes angrily, brought Xiao Meier and the other three members of the Xiao family, and introduced the three old guys.
My own grandfather, Nalan Tie, naturally paid the most attention to Xiao Mei'er, and looked at this future granddaughter-in-law with a smile. Xiao Mei'er was a little at a loss, and her face was flushed.
And Nalan Ji's gaze fell on Xiao Yan, facing the grandson of this old friend, who almost became his grandson-in-law, his gaze was a little complicated.
Finally, he glanced at Xiao Xun'er, shook his head, nodded again, and sighed: "Little guy, go on." β
