Chapter 141: Holy City
Legend has it that the predecessor of the Holy City was Haotian Holy Land, which was a great sect in ancient times, but this Haotian Holy Land, for unknown reasons, disappeared overnight, leaving only the mysterious Ethereal Immortal City, after the Haotian Holy Land disappeared, the Ethereal Immortal City became an ownerless city, and the Haotian Holy Land became a gathering place waiting for the opening of the Immortal City.
The time for the opening of the Ethereal Immortal City is uncertain, the shortest interval is eight hundred years, and the longest interval used to be 1,200 years, but now it has been 1,300 years since the last opening, many people have gathered in the Holy City, waiting for the opening of the Immortal City, Lei Xinyue went to the Holy City, one is to increase his knowledge, and the other is to try his luck, only monks under the age of five hundred can enter, if you miss this time, you will not have a chance next time.
The flying ship landed next to the big stone monument not far from the holy city, and the two-zhang high yellow stone tablet was covered with small golden spots, engraved with the words Haotian Holy Land.
In addition to this stone monument, and the magnificent holy city, there is a sand dune in the distance, the yellow fine sand is tinged with a faint gold, as far as the eye can see, empty and high, vast and magnificent, the blazing sun shines on the golden sand, hot and dazzling, a gust of wind blows, the yellow sand flutters, slowly passing in front of you, looking at the track of the yellow sand, as if you see the track of the wind, everywhere you look, a piece of yellow, you can't find a little green.
The dry and hot air made people's noses very uncomfortable, Lei Xinyue put on a veil, stepped on the soft fine sand and walked to the Holy City, and paid the entrance fee of ten spirit stones for one person.
Looking at the people coming and going in the city, the clothes are very cool, the men wear simple sleeveless gowns, big pants, and there are more women's styles, the upper body wears short sleeves, sleeveless, even bandeau has it, the lower body has shorts and short skirts, of course, there are also people like Lei Xinyue who wear long sleeves and long skirts, but there are relatively few.
The two of them walked through many inns, all of them were full, and they couldn't find a place to stay, Xia Jianfeng was a little worried, and asked: "Shopkeeper, I have found many stores, all of them are full, can you tell me, is this why?" ”
"The fairy city hasn't been opened for 1,300 years, and it's all waiting." The shopkeeper said leisurely.
"Then if the fairy city doesn't open, will you keep waiting?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Xia Jianfeng and walked away, Xiao Er looked at Xia Jianfeng with a smile, spread out his palm, Xia Jianfeng naturally understood what he meant, gritted his teeth, took out ten spirit stones, Xiao Er put away the spirit stones in disgust, and said: "The major forces in the Canglong Continent have long-term stations here, and the people who live in the hotel are all small sects, and there are scattered cultivators, some people can't wait anymore, so they leave, but many people want to be lucky, so they come, just like you." ”
"Do you know where else to live?" As soon as Lei Xinyue Qingyue's voice sounded, Xiao Er's attitude was much better, and he said: "Let me tell you the truth, the inns in the entire holy city are full, and many people are camping outside the city. ”
Lei Xinyue bowed his head and said, "Thank you, little brother." ”
Lei Xinyue turned to leave, and Xiao Er shouted from behind: "If you want a desert map, no, ten spirit stones." ”
Lei Xinyue stopped and stood at the door, Xia Jianfeng hurriedly took out the spirit stone and bought one.
The two did not leave the holy city immediately, but followed a few people, all the way to the trading market, there are many stalls in the trading market, but there are relatively few transactions, many stalls are selling pills, the price of pills is twice as expensive as usual, some of them sell scorpions, lizards and other demon beasts of a certain part of the body, as well as demon pills, and some of them are ores found in the desert, all of which are used for refining, there is no spirit grass, think about it, the most lacking thing in the desert is water, and it is difficult for ordinary plants to grow, not to mention spirit grass.
What is the product of a place and what is most needed can be known by looking at the trading market.
Xia Jianfeng chose a stall, spent some spirit stones to buy a pair of scorpion pliers, and also bought a more detailed map of the desert terrain, on which it was written where and what ores.
