Chapter 145: Tianshan City
Xuannu Feng and his entourage came to an end, and the ascetic cultivator and the three true immortal disciples had to guard the jade statue for another year. He Dongli still returned to the Dream Yuanqi, while Meng Yuan and Lei Jie rushed to Tianshan City.
Xuannu Peak is not very far from Tianshan City, and because of Yang Yuning's relationship, Meng Yuan did not choose to fly with a spear, but bought a snow wolf beast in the city under the mountain to hurry. Because of this lesson, Lei Jie didn't dare to use the thousand-mile wind chasing technique again, and also chose to ride.
In fact, for him, being captured this time was just an accident, although the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique consumed a lot, it would not deplete the vitality of a true immortal. After all, what he encountered was the lineup of three true immortals and one spirit immortal in the Xuanwu Palace, plus he had little experience, so it was normal for him to be captured. Unless he is willing to pay the price of damage to his spiritual veins and perform the extreme version of the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique - desperate survival.
At that time, he had a conflict with Zhao Qian, but he was not afraid, he had a thousand-mile wind chasing technique, and he would definitely be able to get rid of the three of them, until the appearance of the ascetic cultivator, he panicked. Originally, when the ascetic cultivator didn't make a move, he had a chance to use "desperate survival", but he hesitated, and he couldn't escape just by hesitating.
Lei Xiu did not teach Meng Yuan to "survive in a desperate situation", but simply mentioned it. There are two main reasons for not teaching: first, it is not easy to practice, and second, it is too expensive.
The Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique is actually to generate a small spiritual force group with Yuan Qi and then detonate it, thus generating a powerful thrust, and its speed is directly related to the output of the spiritual energy.
"Desperate Survival", as the extreme version of the Thousand Miles Wind Chasing Technique, is bound to extract a large amount of vitality in order to pursue the ultimate speed. And the immortal monarch of each realm, the vitality output of his spiritual vein is limited, and exceeding the upper output limit will damage the spiritual vein.
Lei Xiu thinks that Meng Yuan is a little immortal after all, and if he uses "desperate survival", his spiritual veins will inevitably collapse, and he will become a waste person at best, and he will be killed on the spot. However, he still ignored one point, Meng Yuan's spiritual veins were rebuilt with Purple Thunder Heavenly Fire, otherwise it would not be exaggerated to refine so many spirit stones in just over three hundred years.
In order to alleviate his predicament, Lei Jie lied that he was arrested because he was not strong enough to perform "desperate survival". After all, to survive in a desperate situation, you must also have the courage to survive in a real desperate situation and a broken tail.
The three of them rode on the official road, and it stands to reason that the speed of the snow wolf beast is not bad, but Meng Yuan was ambiguous with Yang Yuning along the way, and his speed was naturally much slower. Lei Jie couldn't stand it a little and rode the snow wolf beast to explore the way ahead.
......
Tianshan City belongs to the cold climate, and it is completely a city made of ice, which is divided into two parts. Part of it is built in the open air, and part of it is in the middle of an iceberg.
The gate of Tianshan City is not compared to other cities, but an iceberg through a tunnel. Because it was full of practitioners, their clothes were varied. Some wore animal skin coats, others wore white robes, and some even wore light ribbons, which did not look like they were in the extreme cold.
Although there are no mortals in Tianshan City, it is the jurisdiction of the Northern Underworld royal family after all, and there is still a city lord, but the city lord changes more frequently. After the Tianshan Pavilion sold the Snow Lotus incident, the city lord had already changed three. The Northern Underworld royal family was also very helpless about this, but the city lord always had to send it, but the fourth city lord who was chosen was killed before he could enter the city.
Beiming Hongjin was furious and wanted to go to Tianshan City in person. Later, his younger brother Beiming Hongzhan asked Ying to go to Tianshan City alone. In half a month, he slaughtered almost half of Tianshan City. The cultivators are afraid, but the interests are in front, and they can't give it up in the end.
The remnants of the monks began to unite, leading the Northern Immortal Hung to take the bait, thinking of forcing him away, but who would have thought that his strength was too strong. Only 20% of the monks who participated in the siege escaped, and since then Tianshan City has returned to the Northern Underworld royal family. And the Northern Underworld War is even more famous in the First World War, achieving the title of the God of War in the Northern Underworld.
When the North Ming Hongjin got the news, he was overjoyed and ordered the North Ming Hongzhan to defend Baizhou. After that, he sent the fifth city lord - Qin Ce.
Qin Ce is a Xuan Immortal, and he can mix with the county guard with his cultivation as the lowest, but unfortunately the situation in Tianshan City is tense, so he has to be wronged. When Qin Ce took office, Beiming Hongjin instructed: "If you encounter those who are not satisfied, you will be killed." ”
After Qin Ce arrived, the first thing he did was not to kill people, but to entertain the leaders of several big forces in the city. His principle is one, hello, hello, hello, everyone. The cultivators understood that this new city lord didn't want to cause trouble, as long as they didn't go too far, everyone could get along well.
Since then, Tianshan City has been harmonious on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent. The matter of fighting fiercely and killing people for treasures was transferred from day to night, from inside the city to outside the city.
Interestingly, one day, a seriously injured monk broke into the city lord's mansion and begged Qin Ce to come forward to administer justice. Qin Ce was in Qing Xiu at the time, and he was very angry when he was interrupted by his subordinates. Nevertheless, he met with the badly wounded monk and asked, "Have you ever killed anyone?"
The monk nodded, and Qin Ce directly locked it in his throat and reprimanded, "You are all a bunch of damned scum. It's okay to do some murder and treasure grabbing on weekdays, but now I dare to find this immortal. You have been hunted down for refuge, have you ever thought about the people you slaughtered here?"
The monk panicked and shouted, "You are the lord of the city here, so you should protect me." ”
Qin Ce threw it down and snorted coldly: "That's right, this immortal is the city lord of Tianshan City. You broke into the City Lord's Mansion with the intention of disfavoring this immortal. Looking at his subordinates, "What should I do if it is unfavorable to this immortal?"
"Seal up their babies, cut off their limbs, and hang them at the gates of the city, so as to deter those who do not do evil. ”
"Then what are you waiting for?" Qin Ce reprimanded.
Afterwards, the monks of Tianshan City also completely understood what Qin Ce meant. He only wanted a superficially harmonious Tianshan City, and as for the life or death of the cultivators, it had nothing to do with him, because they all had blood on their hands, and it was just right to die.
......
When Meng Yuan came to Tianshan City, he saw the monk who was hanging the city gate at first sight, and he found that it was already a true fairyland. I thought to myself, this city lord is so majestic.
For the sake of safety, he sent Yang Yuning back to the Dream Yuan Ruler, and only entered the city with Lei Jie. When he entered the city, he had to pay a pineapple, and Lei Jie was not happy when he heard it, although he was not short of this money, but he only entered the city with a pineapple, and he could pay it back.
Meng Yuan was very happy, directly paid three pineapples, and said to the monks guarding the city: "The three defenders work hard, and one more is a little bit of my heart." ”
The monk, however, received only two. Meng Yuan took back the pineapple and put the healing elixir in the guard's hand when he took over. This time the guard did not refuse, and warned him, "Be careful at night after entering the city." ”
After the two entered the city, they looked at the harmonious scene in the city in disbelief. In his imagination, shouldn't this be a place for mutual calculations and constant precautions? Why are there still stalls on the street, selling treasures of heaven and earth, and they are not afraid of being robbed?
I walked over to an elderly stall owner and asked, "May I ask if this is Tianshan City, right?"
"That's right, what did Childe like? ”
Meng Yuan touched his chin, the corners of his mouth raised, and he looked like he was smiling, "Do you sell everything I like?"
"Of course!"
"I think this beauty next to you is very good, what's the matter, make a price?"
The stall owner was not angry and explained, "Childe is the first time to come to Tianshan City, right?"
"Yes!"
The stall owner nodded, pointed to the sky and said slowly: "It's daytime, and Childe doesn't look at it if he wants to find something." ”
Meng Yuan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he wondered what the stall owner meant, why couldn't he do it during the day? Looking at the woman, he learned that it was a Taoist realm cultivator. "I don't have a hobby of shopping at night. ”
"Hmph, then you're pretty good at it. This immortal advises you to leave as soon as possible while it is still dark, otherwise... The cemetery in the Tien Shan Mountains is a bit cool. The stall owner threatened.
Meng Yuan was thinking, Lei Jie got angry, and scolded: "You old thing, my son-in-law has taken a fancy to her is her blessing, what kind of master are you a little immortal?"
Meng Yuan slapped his forehead, kicked Lei Jie's buttocks, and said, "We are talking about business, why do you make me feel like a dead villain? Besides, how can you tell that I have a crush on her?"
Lei Jie was a little embarrassed and said, "Childe doesn't like her?
"I'll just joke with this old man. You remember, we're not heroes, but we're not bullies, you know?"
Lei Jie thought for a moment and responded, "Understood." Instead, he said to the stall owner, "Make an offer!"
The stall owner became angry and said coldly: "Don't deceive people too much. ”
Meng Yuan saw that the matter was getting bigger, and took out a Thunder Tribulation Pill, "Misunderstanding, I'm really not bullying you." This is a Thunder Tribulation Pill, which is my apology. ”
Afraid that the stall owner would misunderstand, he didn't throw it to him, but put it on the stall. After that, he pulled Lei Jie and left, scolding as he walked: "You get a hammer, Lao Tzu didn't even probe the way, but paid a Thunder Tribulation Pill, and this account has to be counted on you." You'll have to pay me at least a hundred green mangs..."
"Senior, Lei Zheng Dan is not that expensive!"
"Lao Tzu personally refined it, it is worth this price, and he loses money. ”
The stall owner picked up the Lei Zheng Pill and looked at it, he was shocked, the quality of this Lei Zheng Dan is not bad, if he takes the Tribulation, he is at least seventy percent sure. watched the two pull and pull away, looked at his daughter again, and shouted to the two, "Wait a minute, you two." ”
