Chapter 41: The City of a Hundred Graves

The morning sun appeared, but it still couldn't dispel the heaviness of the Hundred Tombs.

The majestic black stone giant city, like a crouching beast, quietly waits for the dawn to break.

Ji Fan came to the north gate of the Hundred Tombs City, and found that the people and caravans who came in and out did not need to pay the entrance fee, and the guards guarding the city did not check, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking up, the pitch-black city wall built by the black boulders of the four sides is seven zhang high, and the black stone surface of the city wall has many sharp claw marks and horn holes, which seem to be caused by the attack of beasts, containing the breath of vicissitudes for a long time.

"How long has this majestic city been standing?"

Ji Fan, who was carrying a medicine basket on his back, followed a few porters into the city, feeling that the beasts that could cause damage to such a thick black stone city wall must be quite strong.

The walls of the Hundred Tombs City are towering, the gatehouses are towering, and the corridors are wide and deep.

Entering the city, the buildings are lined up one after another, the sharp towers reach into the sky, the grand buildings are solemn, and the wide and straight streets crisscross each other.

Seeing the scene of the busy traffic, Ji Fan felt that this prosperous city was full of vitality, which completely formed a strong contrast with the heavy and oppressive black stone.

There are no stalls on the streets, and the shops on both sides are next to each other.

Ji Fan took out a piece of jerky and put it in his mouth and chewed it, as if it was dry and could fall out of the dregs.

"The scars on the wall must have been caused by the tide of beasts. Ji Fan walked on the street, did not look left and right, but looked at the shops on both sides with his eyes naturally.

In the Realm of Ten Thousand Mountains, the beast tide is a very terrible thing, and every few years, it will erupt, and some people call it the consequence of the rapid expansion of the beast herd and the migration.

Compared with the huge herd of beasts, human cultivation is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Ji Fan had only encountered a pack of twenty or thirty wolves before, and the fierce attacks and bites of the mountain wolves made him feel terrified when he thought about it now.

"There are many restaurants and inns, and it seems that this hundred tombs is a rare open gathering place in the domain of ten thousand mountains. Through observation, Ji Fan couldn't help but make up his mind that he would often go to the restaurant to sit and listen to the news.

The shops on both sides of the street have small signs on the plaques that represent the power to which they belong.

"This Hundred Tombs seems to be relatively free, and outsiders will have a place to do business. Ji Fan didn't see the stall and was not in a hurry, guessing that he hadn't found it yet.

In the middle of the city, Ji Fan pricked up his ears and walked for half a stick of incense, while observing various shops, he was also eavesdropping on the conversations of other pedestrians.

Finding a handsome male monk coming out of a bun on the right side of the street, his clothes were meticulously tidied up, Ji Fan couldn't help but look down at his bare feet that he didn't even have a pair of shoes.

Ji Fan, who was carrying a medicine basket, was dressed in a cloth shirt with patches, his trouser legs were also bad, and his long black hair was simply curled in a bun, looking like a man named Hanako.

The shops on both sides of the streets in the north of the city, because the location is better, there are many people in and out, but they are either brightly dressed or dressed in fancy clothes.

"Huh?"

After walking for a while, Ji Fan saw a tall tower and rarely stopped.

The ancient and the present are looking for knowledge, and the heavens and the earth are full of real opportunities.

"Tianji Pavilion!"

Looking at the couplets on the gate of the tower, Ji Fan found that there was a small scroll engraved on the door plaque of the Tianji Pavilion.

It is rumored that Tianji Pavilion knows the affairs of the world and has a lot of classics, although Ji Fan feels that this is not the case, but for this extremely well-informed place, he still has an attitude of awe, worried that his secret will also be mastered.

Ji Fan stood outside the tower, hesitating, he wanted to know something too much.

Under Ji Fan's gaze, a tall girl came out of the two heavy gates of the tower, making his heart tighten.

There was no one else outside the tower, and Ji Fan found that the tall girl was looking at him with a smile, and he had already realized that it was because of his relationship with him who stopped outside the tower.

Leaving at this time will attract people's attention and suspicion, Ji Fan is like a poor boy, looking at the tall girl nervously.

"Do you want to see the scroll?"

The girl smiled and asked Ji Fan first, with the intention of soliciting business.

"I only have one ingot of gold and one ingot of silver......"

Ji Fan's words made the girl's face brighten.

"Hurry in. ”

The girl stretched out her hand to summon Ji Fan, for fear that he would run away.

The first floor of the tower is a little dim, with dense books on the three book walls, and many bookshelves in the hall, which are not empty and have a certain degree of privacy.

"You are the first order of the day, but the canons of Tianji Pavilion are all priced, and you can go to the second floor at most for one ingot of gold and see a canon. The girl sat at the account table, as if waiting for Ji Fan to help.

"The ancient history of the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, is it enough?"

Ji Fan thought about it for a while, and asked the girl weakly.

"It's a little interesting, children of your age, most of them hope to get the cultivation method, and they are almost not interested in ancient history, what you want to know about the ingot of gold is definitely not enough, put down the gold and silver, I can briefly tell you about it." "The girl is very good at business, and she smiles and changes channels.

Ji Fan touched the money bag on his chest, but he didn't dare to show his distrust of the girl too much.

"The ancient history of the Hundred Tombs Mountains, we have to start from the Wuzhang Mountains, the mountains of the Hundred Tombs Mountains, there are ninety-nine, less than a hundred, the direction of the mountains, is the circle of the Phoenix Nirvana, into the mountains, in the fog can only see a zhang distance, the legend of the Phoenix Nirvana can make people come back from the dead, so some monks with a big vision but helpless to maintain, the tomb is chosen here. While the girl was talking to Ji Fan, she observed his expression and found that he was listening carefully.

"This Hundred Tombs City, involving the Four Emperors, was built by Emperor Ning of Xingluohai, he let his wife be buried in the Hundred Tombs Mountains, for one person, guarding a mountain range and a city, but in the end, he couldn't withstand the erosion of Shouyuan by the torrent of years, and he was also buried in the Hundred Tombs Mountains, but this was all ten thousand years ago, and the current Hundred Tombs City has been controlled by the Ten Demon Dao, and the Four Emperors of Xingluohai have long been replaced. The girl told me some secrets.

"The Emperor of the Star Luohai?"

Ji Fan really didn't understand it, and confirmed the girl's statement.

"The Four Emperors of Xingluohai, the Nine Emperors of Cangluan Prefecture, cannot be equated, in Xingluohai, the Four Emperors are more like the leaders of overseas scattered cultivation organizations, and the Nine Emperors of Cangluan Prefecture are ruling dynasties and empires, if it is about combat power, it should be roughly equivalent, once it is warring, it may cause the destruction of the heavens and the earth. The girl explained to Ji Fan.

"How does the big sect compare?"

Ji Fan took out the money bag from the cloth shirt, looking very curious.

"Four sects, two religions, and one palace are the existence that can be divided into courts, but they are not detached, the imperial dynasty is constantly conquering, and there have always been camps and shadows supported by major sects, and the dispute between the righteous and the devil is far more than just a head-to-head contest between the sect and the sect. The girl knocked on the account table with her hand, signaling that Ji Fan could put the money bag.

"The Hundred Tombs Mountain Range has existed for a long time, and there are many monks buried in it, why is this mountain range still located in the domain of ten thousand mountains?" Ji Fan grabbed the money bag and didn't let go.

"Do you think that the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range can be touched casually? The entire mountain range is an ancient array, and when you cultivate to the Jindan period, entering the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range is equivalent to stepping into the door of death, and you will only bury yourself in it, and tomb robbery must not cause large-scale damage to the mountain range, and the tombs are full of dangers, so you still don't have extra thoughts. The girl seemed to see through Ji Fan's thoughts.

Ji Fan deliberately showed a thoughtful look, making the girl sitting at the table smile.

"If you find something good in the future, you can come to Tianji Pavilion, I will give you a good consideration, if the thing is valuable, even if you want to join the cultivation sect, I can introduce you, remember, my name is Chunxiang." The tall girl took Ji Fan's money bag, first opened it and looked at it, then looked at his medicine basket and smiled.

In Ji Fan's feeling, the tall girl is a wealth fan, but he doesn't dare to underestimate it in the slightest, just the signboard of Tianji Pavilion is already extraordinary, and if he can do things here, he must have extraordinary ability.

"Thank you, Master Spirit. ”

Ji Fan bowed to the girl, showing awe.

"Well, I'm a little curious about the little beast in your leather bag, I don't know if you can take it out and take a look?" The tall girl was unruly on the surface, but the request she could make made Ji Fan's heart tighten.

"No, I can't. ”

Ji Fan pretended to be vigilant and shook his head, rejecting the girl's proposal.

"It's not like a demon beast, I don't feel the power of the demon yuan, this young man is not from the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, let's write it down first. After Ji Fan left Tianji Pavilion, the tall girl shook her head in confusion, first took out a piece of drawing paper, and wanted to draw Ji Fan's portrait of a young man, but finally thought about it but gave up.

Unlike the girl who was slightly puzzled about Ji Fan's origin, he walked on the street and was still cautious about Tianji Pavilion.

"It's really tempting to be able to recommend the sect, but this kind of place, it's better not to come in the future, that girl is easy to talk on the surface, but she doesn't know what she thinks in her heart. Ji Fan took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.

Although she came out of Tianji Pavilion, Ji Fan was not sure if the girl had seen through the animal skin bag.

Ji Fan didn't know what kind of demon beast the little hedgehog was, but if he took it out, he was afraid that Tianji Pavilion, who was rumored to know about the world, would recognize it.

One thing is for sure, whether the little hedgehog is intelligent or its nose can exhale withered breath, it does not look like an ordinary demon beast.

"It seems that we have to find a beast stone, and we have to hide the little guy completely so as not to get into trouble. Ji Fan walked around the streets, observing the environment of the Hundred Tombs, hoping to find the trading stalls set up by individual monks.

Knowing roughly the situation in the Hundred Tombs Mountain Range, Ji Fan also paid attention to the trial of the Ten Demon Paths.

"Tomb robbery?"

Ji Fan thought about it, the spirit corpse of the Xuanyin Sect, because raising corpses and refining corpses is likely to be related to digging graves, because this is an important source for obtaining corpses.

If it is a tomb robbery, although it does not harm the living, it disturbs the sleep of the deceased, which depends on how to look at it, and there are many monks who attribute the burial of the corpse to a piece of cultivation inheritance, and regard it as an opportunity for cultivation.
