Chapter 21: Starry Night City
There is a saying in the book that the four famous cities of the Northern Regions, the Apocalypse in the Southern Regions, the Ice in the Southern Regions, the Leisurely Regions in the Western Regions, the Starry Night in the Eastern Regions, and the Eastern Wilderness, are known to everyone.
Starry Night City, located in the eastern part of the Eastern Regions, is an incomparably magnificent giant city. The city wall rises from the ground, surrounds into a bowl-shaped, the watchtower arrow fort is arranged alternately, extends outward like the eaves and spreads out, and the lights are bright.
There is a mountain in the city, which is more than a hundred zhang high, and on the top of the huge mountain, another city is built, which is a city within a city, and it is also a starry night city in the real sense. In the center of Starry Night City, a mansion was entrenched and scattered, soaring into the sky.
The entire Starry Night City looks from afar, like an incomparably magnificent giant tower, rising from the ground and submerging into the clouds, as if you can pick the stars in your hands.
Yiheng looked at the magnificent giant city in front of him from afar and was completely shocked. Along the way, I have passed by several big cities, but compared to the ones in front of me, it is really a heaven and an underground.
Everyone rode on their mounts and galloped, and soon came to the east gate of Starry Night City. The giant gate was several feet high, and there were heavily armored soldiers on both sides, but when they saw the people who came, they all knelt down and bowed.
"Welcome back to the young city lord. ”
The crowd rushed towards the city, mighty and majestic.
When you enter the city, you can see piles of houses and vast fields in the distance, just like villages, or tribes.
In this world, ordinary people account for the vast majority, a large city that can accommodate millions of people, and most of the people who naturally live are so-called "ordinary people".
The crowd slowed down and continued towards the inner city, which was still bustling with activity in the evening. The rows of high-rise buildings are brightly lit, the shops are dazzling, the streets are full of pedestrians, and from time to time you can see wild beasts pulling luxury carriages passing by.
However, it is still Yiheng and their dozens of mounts that are the most eye-catching, many people are vying to see, and there are many discussions, but no one talks about the word "city lord", and before entering the inner city at night, he has already put on a copper-colored mask, and even his clothes have changed color.
At the end of the avenue was the City Lord's Mansion, and the group did not even enter directly through the main entrance, but walked in through the side gate in a circle.
Looking at Yiheng's curious look, Baili Yexing replied casually: "People, it's always right to keep a low profile." ”
Yiheng didn't care, but when Uncle Chen heard this reason, he couldn't help but smile, obviously there was an unknown secret in it.
The city lord's mansion is very large, and Baili Night Walk walked towards the inner mansion with Yiheng and Zhang Zhengyuan, and the speed of the four of them was not slow, but they also walked for nearly half an hour before turning into a courtyard.
This is the so-called deep courtyard!
As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard, someone greeted me, an old woman who was nearly half a hundred a year, and she said: "The young city lord is back, you have been out for these days, and the old slave has helped you find several girls who are smart, and the drawing paper has been placed in your study, but you have to take a good look." ”
Baili Yexing's face froze, and he spoke with a touch of grievance: "Granny Li, I just came back, why do you talk about this again? ”
Baili walked towards the courtyard as if fleeing at night, turned his head and explained to Yiheng embarrassedly: "Hey, the order from the old city lord is to force a kiss." ”
Yiheng smiled and said nothing, and couldn't help but think of the village chief's grandfather again, and he seemed to have experienced it a few times, but it wasn't so serious.
It's night, climb the small building, taste wine and meat, watch the lights of thousands of homes, accompany the ethereal music, enjoy the rhyme of the starry sky, how many times is it rare to get drunk in life?
On the second day, Baili Night Walk came to the small courtyard where Yiheng lived early in the morning, if not for anything else, he was naturally eager to carry out a medicinal bath to enlighten the spirit.
A bottle of brand-new bronze tripod was called, and it could be seen that it was made overnight, and there was a beautiful talisman pen, which was not an ordinary mortal thing at first glance, and it was thrown to Yiheng together for a hundred miles of night walking.
"I'll go see my grandfather, you can carve that Enlightenment inscription for me, and when we get back, we'll start the medicinal bath. ”
The so-called grandfather, naturally the name of the grandson of the old city lord of Starry Night City, Baili Night Xing's parents died early, although he grew up in Baili Shijia, but after confirming that he could not practice, he came to Starry Night City to become a young city lord.
Yiheng ran the Tianlong Yin, and then ran the tiger again, and the wine immediately dissipated without a trace, and the whole person was refreshed.
The method of breathing is so mysterious that it is said to have been passed down from the ancient times. Since he was going to take a medicinal bath, Yiheng naturally discussed the breathing method with Baili Yexing.
According to Baili Yexing, the Baili family also has an ancestral breathing method, but only a very small number of people in the clan can practice it.
There are some things that are not written in the book, and it is clear that the method of breathing is very rare and precious.
The breathing method also has a realm division, which is in order: entry, earth, and heaven.
The so-called beginner is to master the rhythm of breathing, which is basically not very difficult. Ditong is to let the physical body also learn this kind of "breathing", which requires a long time of practice. Tianhe, on the other hand, allows the gods to learn to "breathe".
Yiheng estimated that Zhang Zhengyuan was a coincidence that day, and temporarily stepped into the realm of tiger sucking Tianhe. Hiding the breath should be the magic of tiger sucking.
However, it is only a guess, and it needs to be verified in person later.
Yiheng stretched his waist, played with the talisman pen in his hand, came to the bronze tripod, and began to carve. The Enlightenment Inscription was not very complicated, and he had experience in carving it before, but he still failed several times before succeeding.
After breakfast, Baili Night Walk came to the courtyard again, but this time he was not alone, there was also an old man, with crane hair and a childish face, purple clothes and brocade robes, although he looked kind and kind, but he invisibly revealed a noble majesty.
This person is the city lord of Starry Night City, the name of Gongsun.
"I heard... The little friend can help the night walk to step into the practice, and the old man is very curious and comes to take a look. Gongsun Ming just glanced at it casually, but Yiheng felt that the whole person had been seen through.
"The ancestral cultivation method, there is nothing magical about it, the city lord can see it. Yiheng said lightly, although he didn't notice the slightest hostility on the other party, the invisible sense of oppression emanating from the strong man still made him feel terrified.
After hearing this, my grandfather was still not at ease, so he insisted on coming over to have a look. Baili Yexing shrugged, a little helpless.
"Stinky boy, old man, I am also the overlord of the Eastern Wilderness, and you still dislike me. Gongsun Ming glared at Baili Night Walk, but there was pampering in his eyes.
People all over the world say that it is better to have a high level of understanding than to be lucky, and a strong talent is not as good as a thick shade, and this sentence is obviously very reasonable.
Yiheng hunted many brute beasts for Zhang Zhengyuan, but compared to the beast blood and beast bones that Baili Night Walk took out casually, it was still too flat.
Jiaolong, golden-eyed marten, Xuanshui turtle, red flame tiger...... They are all kinds of powerful brute beasts that are rare to see, and their blood and bones contain powerful energy.
The blood dissolves in water, throws into the bones, the inscription flickers, and the medicinal bath begins.
Baili Night Travel has already seen the scene of Zhang Zhengyuan taking a medicinal bath once, so he is also familiar with the road, without twisting at all, and when he takes off his coat, he jumps in directly.
Naturally, there is pain, but the night walk seems to be used to it. Also, he has found a lot of methods for refining the body, but he has always soaked them in the medicine jar.
Introducing the spirit element, infiltrating the flesh and blood, the initial stage of the medicinal bath is only to refine the body, and it is mainly to wash the divine pattern later. This process naturally requires the help of the breathing method to guide the huge spiritual elements that have entered the body to pour into the sea of life.
Gongsun Ming's eyes were like torches, looking at the inscriptions on the bronze tripod, and he was secretly shocked. And the rhythmic breathing during the medicinal bath at night made his face even more pale.
"Xiaoyou, you also taught him his breathing method?" Gongsun Ming couldn't help but be curious and asked.
Yiheng nodded, although he had realized the preciousness of the breathing method, but if he wanted to help Baili Yexing, he naturally needed to let him master a breathing method, so he also taught him the tiger suck.
Gongsun Mingjian Yiheng nodded, and suddenly said, "Xiaoyou, this breathing method can be sold?"
Seeing the other party's expectant and extremely serious look, Yiheng was a little helpless, this grandfather and grandson are really, and they are talking about business when they open their mouths.
However, thinking about the Ji family's practice of killing people and taking things when they come up, talking about business is naturally the difference between etiquette and soldiers.
"The city lord actually wants it, just ask Ye Xing to take it, I don't mind. Yiheng said with a smile.
Gongsun Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know this kid yet, how can I learn it without your permission." And, if I hadn't consulted you, I'd definitely be mad at me. ”
"So, it's a deal between you and me, and it has nothing to do with him. Moreover, I am willing to make a heavenly oath, and in exchange for it, I will only use it for myself. ”
There is a Tao in heaven, and the Tao is nameless, but the Tao can be a rule, and the way of heaven becomes the rule of heaven and earth. Make a heavenly oath, and then you will be bound by the rules of heaven and earth, and if you break the oath, you will be sure to bear the consequences.
Gongsun Ming's seriousness was startled, but thinking about it, he felt that this was also a normal move.
"I don't know exactly what to change, but I do want some spiritual objects to help with quenching. Yiheng said bluntly, and then taught the tiger to Gongsun Ming.
Gongsun Ming got the method of tiger sucking, did not hesitate, and immediately said: "My Gongsun Ming made a heavenly oath here, and the breathing method obtained from this transaction is only his own cultivation, if he violates this oath, he will be given two names." ”
Baili Night Walking is his only grandson, and he originally had a tiger suck, so such a heavenly oath is harmless.
After the Heavenly Dao oath, Gongsun Ming looked like a kind eyebrow again, and said with a smile: "A macaroni, a small magic technique, 500,000 yuan crystals, and then let Xiaoyou go to the beast field to choose a brute beast at will, how about it?"
Yiheng was dumbfounded, and it took a while to remember to respond. What Gongsun Ming gave far exceeded his estimates. Then think about the drunken emperor, only sighing.
"Actually, I'm taking advantage of my friends. Gongsun Ming said with a smile, "This world is connected to many small worlds, and Xiaoyou is probably from a small world." ”
"But no matter where you are, you must remember that in a world where the strong are respected, only your own strength can protect what you want to protect. ”
"Your medicinal bath method is very mysterious, maybe it can really make the night walk step into the practice. But remember, you must not be easily seen before you have strong strength, otherwise you will cause a lot of trouble. ”
......
Gongsun Ming is like an elder, and he talked a lot with Yiheng, but when he left, his painting style changed abruptly: "Actually, don't look at me like me and think that I am a good person, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Xing said that you are his friend, I'm afraid you will not only get nothing, but people will stay here." ”
Yiheng suddenly felt a powerful pressure enveloping him, but it was fleeting.
"Nightwalk has grown up, you are his first friend, he recognizes you, I naturally approve of you, don't die easily, little friend. ”
The noon sun was scorching, but Yiheng felt a little cold, and the cold didn't know where it came from. Perhaps, it's not that his body is cold, but that the world is cold!
This lesson of Gongsun Ming is always remembered in his heart and will never be forgotten.
