Chapter 3: Entering Lang City for the First Time
Sixteen years later
Today is the annual gathering in Langcheng. The city gate is wide open, the streets are full of lights, the traffic is busy, the river is endless, and people from all over the world are still rushing here, outside the city gate, the people who enter the city have already lined up in a long line.
On this psychic continent, a total of four big cities and eight mountain ranges are combined, the spirit human race and the demon people live on this continent together, and the four major cities are divided into north and south by a self-crossing river and Shen Mountain, the south boundary is located Yue Cheng and Lang City, and the north boundary is located Yan Cheng and Qingcheng. And the four major families of the Spirit Clan are stationed in Yuecheng, Langcheng and Qingcheng. If Yuecheng is the world of the first family, then Langcheng is controlled by the Lin family.
"Eh, Ah Hui, you say, why is the market in Langcheng always the grandest? So many people are coming, is there anything special?" In the long queue into the city, I saw a small person crowded into the crowd, combing double flat buns, wearing pale pink, embroidered with silver honeysuckle collared skirts, staring at big round eyes, black eyelashes like feathers blinking up and down, as if to see through the crowd in front of them, looking curiously on tiptoe.
Now the man next to the villain helped the bamboo basket on his shoulder, and the blue bunch brown he was wearing was already a little white, and he was looking at the villain next to him worriedly.
"Xing'er, this Langcheng market, different from other cities, every year, Langcheng on this day, the market is open, people from all over the world will come here to buy things and sell things, even people from the distant Cangxuan Continent will come, there will be a lot of strange and strange good things at that time, the most important thing, it has a bidding contest for rare treasures every year, anyway, it is similar to a martial arts competition, the city lord Lin family will take out a treasure as a prize, put in the ring, and finally win, the baby is yours, but the human race like us is in the audience, so you stop for a while, if my father and mother and your grandfather and grandmother know that I will take you into the cityThey're going to tear me up. Also, you must follow me for a while, don't run around, there are so many people in the city today, if you lose it, I will not find you, but don't be afraid, this city gate will be completely closed when the time comes. If you go away, come out before the hour and wait for me in that teahouse, and if I come out first, I will wait for you until the gates are closed. Tsk, hey, did you listen?" Fenghui patted the head of the little girl in front of him, who was only 4.7 feet (about 1.58 meters) tall and only touched his chin, just past the jasper years, two years younger than himself. Said worriedly and helplessly. Now he regrets it a little, regretting that he couldn't stand her splattering and coquettish three days ago, and smuggled her out of the village. This girl is very ghostly and elf on weekdays, and if she is in the city, don't cause trouble.
"I know, I know, today is my birthday, and I want to see what is wonderful in this city. Can you please say a few words. Chu Xing pursed his pink lips and complained pitifully.
Since she was a child, she lived with her grandfather and grandmother in the deep valley of the sunken mountain, and came into contact with wild flowers and trees and all kinds of small animals all day long until she was seven years old
Only then did he leave the valley and move to Hefeng Village on the mountainside of the sinking mountain to live. Grandpa opened a herbal medicine hall to make a living, and she studied in a private school in the village, but Hefeng Village is just a small human village with a population of less than 100 people, the geography is remote, and there are very few outsiders passing by, everyone lives a male farmer and a female weaver, a happy and stable life, how plain life is, plus 16 years, she has never gone down the mountain, grandpa and grandma always say that the outside world is sinister, the spirit race and the demon race are chaotic, and we are such a weak human race, if we can stay away from the hustle and bustle, we will stay away, so as not to lose our lives. But she always can't help but be curious, especially every year on the market day, watching most of the people in the village, will go to the market to buy and send some things that the village has not produced, every time she returns with a full load, and always brings a lot of things she has never seen, but her own family is always unmoved, she is faintly lost, just like last year, Fenghui brought a very beautiful butterfly paper kite to herself, she likes it very much, because that is the first time she knows that in the outside world, paper kites can be so beautiful, but at the same time, she is more curious, what is the situation under the mountain。
On the other side, in the Langcheng Inn, a young man, with black hair, combed his hair in a bun, with a purple-black jade crown engraved with dragon patterns, dressed in dark clothes, exquisite and atmospheric cloud pattern gold wire trim embroidery shows the nobility of his identity, he stood tall by the window of the room, looking at the crowd of people coming and going outside the window, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are like a knife, and his eyebrows are full of heroism, but his eyes are as cold as frost.
He is the second prince of the Yancheng Night Mansion, just over twenty years old, and the demon man who is already far known --------- the night underworld.
If you say why the Spirit Clan is the title of the young master, but when you go to the Demon Clan's Night Mansion, you become the prince. That's because a long time ago, when the two continents were first formed, the Cangxuan Continent was mostly demons, and the Psychic Continent was mostly human and spirit, and a war broke out between the two continents, and that battle caused countless casualties and losses on both continents. So they signed a coexistence agreement and coexisted peacefully. And the royal family of the demon clan that participated in the battle at that time also stayed in Yan City, which was the Night Mansion. And the Spirit Clan has been a mutual aid to the four families for many years, controlling the two Spirit and Human Clans, and has not sealed the dynasty.
Let's go back and say that the legendary second prince of the Ye family is young, but he has already cultivated 8th-order spells and killed countless enemies. You must know that the highest stage of spells is only 10th order, and there are only a dozen people above the 8th level in this psychic continent, and he is one of them, plus over the years, although the two groups of demons and spirits have a coexistence agreement, there are still many people who covet the rich resources of this psychic continent, and most of the people who are involved in danger are not controlled by the agreement, and they are in the gray area between the psychic continent and the Cangxuan continent. Therefore, Yancheng, as the only passage between the Tongling Continent and the Cangxuan Continent, has always been not peaceful, although it is not peaceful, but it has also passed, but the situation has reversed in recent years, the city is not only as stable as Mount Tai, but also has a long-term trend of peace and happiness, according to rumors, it is that these two princes have been stationed in the border city for a long time, and those who have come to the border have been cleaned up one by one, and their methods are brutal and fierce, and the places where people are fighting are corpses all over the field, but he does not leave all the corpses, and the corpses are everywhere, which scares those who want to violate the people who have not yet acted, so, over time, they no longer dare to let anyone come to die。 Therefore, in the mouth of the world, he also got the terrifying nickname "Hades Night King".
"Master, the old lady of the Lin family, I just sent the front desk shopkeeper to pass the word, can you invite the young master to move to the ring built in the city to sit in the town and watch the fun. "At the door, the Dark Eagle, the personal guard of the Nightshade, came to report.
"Hehe, Old Lady Lin is really powerful, we are so low-key that we don't even sit in a carriage, we just ride into the city, and only bring you and Undercurrent with us, he can know that I have entered the city, even if I have lived in the inn under a pseudonym, he can still find it accurately. Hehe, interesting, really interesting. Go, go and talk to the shopkeeper, and ask him to reply to Mrs. Lin, saying that this king must go to the ground to cheer. He sneered, his eyes were full of complicated playfulness, but the corners of his mouth did not float, it seems that the Lin family should not be underestimated, but this is good, go and see, pass the time, anyway, it is still early, and what I want has not yet appeared. He thought to himself, picked up the teacup in his hand, and took a sip quietly. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes.
