Volume 2 Forging Ahead Chapter 178 Jiuxuan Building
And in the depths of the City Lord's Mansion, where there are few people, a secluded place like a silent ancient tomb, as the key place where Xuanji City has been inherited for countless years, it exudes bursts of depression, anger, hesitation, and even a slight smell of blood in the air.
The battles and battles on the first day, as the sun slowly descended to the west, began to seem a little sparse, and some monks had lost interest in the night, and began to return to their dwellings in groups of three or five, and the martial arts of Seven Star City would not be postponed because of the sky or the weather, but most of the monks were not used to staying up late to watch the battle, even if it was a matter of whether they could be selected as the Holy Sect.
But after all, such monks are only a part, for monks, especially those who have already established the foundation, their own life level has been initially detached from the mundane, and the longevity can easily reach almost three jiazi, so the weather and night have little impact on the monks.
The silver-clothed white-faced handsome and almost bewitching Crane Wuwu did not directly obtain the quota, but after three battles, he got out of the ring on the grounds that he needed to recover his spiritual power, and the three people who fought against each other, the outcome can be imagined, in fact, there was not much threat to it at all, just looking at his face, he obviously had no interest in this level of battle.
The crane left without worry, causing many female cultivators to follow and go, for a while, Cai Yi fluttering, pink Feixia dance, so lively, from time to time there are male cultivators regardless of their identity, whistling at it, provoking the surrounding female cultivators to scold, completely into a farce.
On the quite majestic and majestic ring, the battle is still going on, for those Qi Realm monks, it is undoubtedly a feast, you can see the battle of the foundation building period monks in advance, and you can also understand a lot from the middle, and many of the monks who have dispersed are heading towards the main city of Xuanji City, which is obviously more attractive than the battle in the ring.
Zhou Hao is not used to this kind of noisy place, he watched the battle in the ring from hundreds of feet away from the scorching sun throughout the day, to be precise, he was patient, not that he looked down on these foundation building monks, but he really didn't like to bother with other people, but in order to be able to better understand the strength of the monks of Seven Star City, he finally persevered.
There were a lot of monks who left, which made the originally somewhat crowded places seem to have time, and also made it possible for people like Zhou Hao who came late and did not have a senior brother to accompany him to approach the ring.
"Hey, did Zhou Daoyou also come to the ring to watch the martial arts?"
A fairly familiar voice stopped Zhou Hao's footsteps, looking for prestige, but it was Huang Zhonglu, the monk he met when he first entered Xuanji City.
At this time, Huang Zhonglu was dressed in civilian clothes, obviously not when he was on duty, compared to a standard costume, showing a trace of his philistine and sleekness, but the faint city government still existed, and for Zhou Hao and him, it was just a one-sided acquaintance. It's even just passers-by.
Zhou Hao didn't understand why the other party would call him, but among the tens of thousands of foundation building monks and monks watching the excitement, he could find himself, or meet him occasionally, all of this was a bit too coincidental.
Waving his hand to wipe away the sweat that did not exist on the top of his bare head, the divine thoughts took the opportunity to scatter in all directions, and there was nothing unusual within a few hundred zhang, and there was a trace of fire in his slightly impatient eyes, which was the involuntary expression of the way of the flame that was constantly improving.
Obviously, Zhou Hao still couldn't perfectly control his new single flame spirit root, and even his already good body had become more refined than his previous strength. Haha, he said: "It turned out to be Brother Huang Dao, and I was fortunate to be Brother Dao yesterday to solve my doubts, otherwise I am afraid that I would not even be able to get a temporary residence." ”
This is a rule of Xuanji City and the entire Seven Star City, even if it is a Jindan monk, when he comes to the Seven Star City, he must be recognized by the person who is specially responsible for guarding and guarding the City Lord's Mansion, and award the corresponding talisman to show his identity, otherwise those large and small inns and restaurant management offices will not go to stay with you, of course, the monk will generally not mess around because of this little thing, after all, it is just a process on the surface.
Huang Zhonglu took over Zhou Hao's words with a smile and said: "Why should Daoist friends be polite, that is just Huang's duty, and being the palace guard of any Xuanji City will also make Daoist friends have no worries." ”
"Come on, since you happen to meet, Zhou Daoyou might as well go and have a few drinks with Huang, how about it?" Huang Zhonglu naturally invited Zhou Hao.
The look in his eyes was eager but not a little flickering, it seemed that his temperament was genuine, not like a fake, so that Zhou Daoyou didn't know what the other party meant for a while, a faint trace of heat around his body soared, he took a long breath of cool air, calmed down some irritable mood, Zhou Hao did not object to Huang Zhonglu's invitation, and said with a smile: "Since it is a Taoist friend who is invited, Zhou will naturally not refuse, but Brother Huang Dao, this time it is Zhou Mou who invites you, otherwise Zhou Mou can't go!"
"Haha! Huang Zhonglu laughed heartily.
The most famous thing in Xuanji City is not Yuji Lake, but a famous building located on the shore of Yuji Lake, which is called 'Jiuxuan Pavilion'. It is rumored that when Xuanji City was first created, Jade Lake was not peaceful, and how could there be no owner in such a fairyland where spiritual veins gathered.
And back then, there were many hidden crises, among which there were several sixth-order demons, and in order to compete for this place where spiritual veins and luck gathered, the Terran monks followed one after another, and countless monks paid their lives for this, and as the most famous and touching among them, it was not the monk with the highest cultivation and the strongest strength, but a family named Yu Xuanji.
The reason why it was named Xuanji City and Jade Lake is to commemorate this family, and in fact, the Jade Xuanji family has not been extinguished, but with the passage of time, generations of monks can only occasionally learn about this mysterious family in classics and legends.
Huang Zhonglu and Zhou Hao walked together, and in a short time, they had already arrived at Jiuxuan Tower, and Jiuxuan Tower is also the tallest building in Xuanji City, even if it is the City Lord's Mansion, the highest Demon Tower is only seven stories high, and none of the other pavilions in Xuanji City can exceed seven floors, even if the power is great, no matter how strong the strength, it can only stop at five floors.
Jiuxuan Building, because of the Yuxuanji family and stand, because of the family inheritance of the cultivation must be a woman, and the national color is fragrant, the cultivation is profound, but also the identity of the mysterious means of special, for the human race to compete for the Yuji Lake to make great contributions, Jiuxuan Building when the construction, more like its people, everywhere through the slender, full of splendor.
The nine-story demon is high, like a delicate pagoda, but what attracts Zhou's attention is not the appearance of Jiuxuan Tower, but the color revealed by each floor, even after countless years, built by monks, blessed with formations, and the Jiuxuan Building of the Way of Runes is still as new.
The first floor of the building, including columns, carved beams and paintings, window lattices, eaves, cornices, the whole body is black as the bottom, the most amazing thing is that the six beasts on the eaves are carved and feathered.
The second floor up to the eighth floor, the seven floors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple seven colors are different, and what shocked Zhou the most is the ninth floor of Jiuxuan Building, its color is like jade silver, its quality is like jade, it seems to have an extremely familiar feeling.
"Where will you see it?" Zhou couldn't help but be a little distracted. While walking, his mind was spinning, but in an instant, Huang Zhonglu was interested, and probably understood the reaction of the foreign monk when he first saw Jiuxuan Tower, and did not disturb Zhou Hao.
Huang Zhonglu, as the only person Zhou Hao knows here, is also a friend, and it does not affect Zhou Hao, but it does not mean that others will not affect Zhou Hao. As for the rest of the people, although Huang Zhonglu said that his cultivation was only in the middle stage of foundation building, as a captain of the city lord's guard in Xuanji City, he naturally had a wide range of people, and the monks who came and went were more or less familiar, and when he saw that he was accompanying the guests, he just said hello and left.
"Dodge, don't look anywhere, don't look at things. "Arrogant, domineering, and unstoppable are not enough to describe the arrogance of the people who come. Although Zhou Hao was puzzled by the familiarity on the ninth floor of Jiuxuan Building, it did not mean that his thoughts would be paralyzed. Compared to the seal of the cultivation realm, the cultivation of the divine soul is becoming more and more powerful. With his usual cautious mentality, he feels his own strength and ability to cause trouble, so there is always a trace of vigilance about the things on his side, although the voice of the person who came, followed by the vicious secret hand.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Zhou Hao's mind, which was originally swayed by the fire spiritual root, instantly counterattacked.
Huang Zhonglu was on the side, originally smiling and greeting acquaintances who came and went, which could be regarded as a contact relationship, but suddenly heard that there was a drink behind him, and his heart was not good, and when he looked back, he saw a burly figure, shaking with strong wind and spiritual power, and suddenly rushed towards Zhou Hao.
"Don't!" shouted out of Huang Zhonglu's mouth, and his originally old and solemn face suddenly turned red. Zhou Hao doesn't care about this, it's not that he doesn't care about the identity and intentions of the other party, but the person who came obviously has bad intentions, and the menacing appearance doesn't seem to be careless. And the figure roaring like an iron tower didn't forget Huang Zhonglu next to him, but saw that Zhou Hao did not retreat when he turned around to avoid it, and suddenly burst out with a fierce killing intent.
"......Boom" A roar erupted, and under the towering black iron curtain of Jiuxuan Tower, two figures suddenly collided together, Huang Zhonglu's anxious eyes suddenly closed, and his heart was finished. Under the black aura that followed Jiuxuan Tower, Huang Zhonglu, who was dressed in a loose robe and a jade coat with a high crown, looked somewhat ridiculous at this time.
"Ahh
"Brother Huangdao, what are you doing with your eyes closed?"
Zhou Hao's voice sounded in his ears, "What?" Suddenly opened his eyes, and saw Zhou Hao, who should have been extremely miserable, standing beside him unscathed and smiling, but the slightly messy robe and slightly flying hair were traces of spiritual power.
"Zhou Daoyou, are you okay?" the screams ...... that just now" looked at Zhou Hao in disbelief.
"Oops! As if he had been stabbed, Huang Zhonglu almost jumped up, came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at the opposite side, and when he saw clearly the person who wanted to stop the conflict, Huang Zhonglu, who had always been confident and calm, completely lost his attention, and the beads of sweat on his forehead and sideburns went straight down.
