Chapter 695: Under the Xuanwu Sect
This is not the first time that the fifth Tingyun has come to Shenjing City, with his previous experience, this time with the help of Bai Crane Lame San and Jianma, he and Xiao Mengdie came to their destination in a few days.
The two of them slowly woke up from the official road, and when it was about to get dark, they finally arrived at one of the four gates of Shenjing City-Xuanwu Gate.
Even if the old place is revisited, when the fifth Tingyun Le Ma stopped outside the Xuanwu Gate and looked at the brightly lit and crowded scene, he was still shocked by the majesty of Shenjing. The Xuanwu Gate is dozens of zhang high, looking up and suddenly feeling oppression, like a mountain peak rising from the ground standing in front. The bricks and stones used to build the city wall are all made of huge rocks that are one foot square, and there are traces of different shades crisscrossing the rocks, witnessing the vicissitudes of the Shenjing City in the past.
Those rocks are said to be the hardest stones, and they are all dark and blue, and even if a cultivator of the Spirit Xuan Realm uses his sword with all his might, he may not be able to leave a deep trace on it.
"Every time I go to Shenjing City, I have a different feeling. Xiao Mengdie led the black healthy horse, stood on the side of the road, and looked at the endless stream of people who flocked to the Xuanwu Gate, including ordinary people, high-ranking officials and nobles who drove cars, and cultivators with extraordinary momentum.
It is not easy to make these people with different identities and statuses line up in the same team.
"Old Xiao, how many times have you come to Shenjing?" The fifth hearing Yun leaned on the white crane and looked lazily. Among those who lined up to enter the city, all the cultivators were stopped and interrogated carefully, thinking that the "assassination party" hidden among the people really brought great pressure to the upper echelons of the empire.
Xiao Mengdie recalled a little and said with a smile: "Actually, if you really want to talk about it, this is the first time." In the past, they came and went in a hurry, and it was a great luxury to stay in the city for one night. ”
Listening to Xiao Mengdie's slightly self-deprecating tone, the fifth Tingyun looked at Xiao Mengdie's side face, thinking that it is really not easy for everyone to live in the world. In the past, he only thought that Xiao Mengdie was free and open-minded, but today he suddenly remembered that Xiao Mengdie had been wandering around alone since he was a child, and he was tired of the hardships he had suffered. It was precisely because of those experiences that he was forced to be open-minded, right?
"What do you want?" Xiao Mengdie saw that the fifth heard Yun Jiujiu silent, and looked sideways.
Fifth Tingyun smiled slightly, pursed his mouth, and said, "I'm thinking, I'm afraid it's not easy for us to enter the city today...... According to their investigation, we do not have a domestic customs clearance document, let alone a book that allows us to enter the city...... I'm afraid it's going to be embarrassing. ”
After taking a deep look at the fifth Tingyun, Xiao Mengdie didn't delve into it, and quipped: "Don't you know so many dignitaries in Shenjing? Just find someone to come over." It's all a trivial matter, didn't you hook up with Her Royal Highness the Princess and Na Mukun?"
"Let's get down to business. Fifth Tingyun shook his head, although he knew Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mu Kun, what was the use here? Whether it was the princess or Mu Kun, they both lived in the Inner Palace, how would they know that there were acquaintances outside the Xuanwu Gate who were worried about how to enter the city, "Old Xiao, why don't we wait a little later and turn over?"
Xiao Mengdie looked up, the city wall was straight and smooth, dozens of zhang high, and there were constantly patrolling city guards up and down the city wall, how easy was it to climb over the wall without knowing it?
The most annoying thing was that those city defense soldiers were about a group of about twelve people, and ten of them in the group were just ordinary soldiers, but the first and last two people in each group were all cultivators of the Triple Heaven of the Spirit Mystery Realm. Each group of ten people was armed with spears, stiff bows on their backs, and armor, while the two cultivators were armed with different weapons, apparently maintaining their greatest combat effectiveness.
"Damn, it's only been a few months since the city gate has become so tightly defended?" The fifth Tingyun muttered to himself, this is just a visible arrangement and deployment, with him and Xiao Mengdie's current cultivation of one Lingxuan eightfold and one sixfold, they are not too afraid. What he was really afraid of was the few wisps of divine consciousness hidden in the shadows, if the fifth Tingyun perception was good, in addition to the troops on the bright side of this Xuanwu Sect, there were at least ten cultivators of the Nine Heavens of the Spirit Xuan Realm watching at all times.
Xiao Mengdie obviously also sensed it, he glanced at the fifth Tingyun, and the fifth Tingyun looked in that direction, only to see that in the corner next to the tall and wide Xuanwu Gate, a middle-aged man was closing his eyes to recuperate, and the divine consciousness released from his body was baptizing around the Xuanwu Gate like a wave.
"Settle the ...... realm" The fifth heard Yun smiled bitterly, where did he expect such a big battle before the future, "It seems that tonight you and I will either honestly walk through the main gate and enter the city, or honestly find a forest general around for one night, and then make plans tomorrow......"
The two looked at each other, and both led their horses to the back of the line.
The night had fallen for a while, and the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie were moving slowly in the middle of the group, and after more than half an hour, it was finally their turn.
The two city guards with swords around their waists and spears in their hands handed over their spears to the middle, blocking the way into the city. The soldier on the left said nonchalantly: "Those who enter the city report their names and places of origin, and show them all the way through the customs clearance." ”
Fifth, Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie had already planned, and walked towards a soldier on the left and on the right. Fifth, Tingyun's body moved slightly, his wrist flipped, he took out a string of gold coins, and under the cover of his body, he stuffed the gold coins into the soldier's hand without a trace, and whispered: "Big brother is convenient." ”
Needless to say, Xiao Mengdie on the other side is also doing this.
Unexpectedly, these two city guards pushed away the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie almost at the same time, and threw the two strings of gold coins on the ground with a "snap": "Where did the black household come from, and you dare to bribe the poor master? I see that the two of you are thieves and rats, and they must have something to do with the assassination party, and you will be arrested before you are restrained!"
This shout was not small, and the staggered patrolling teams at the foot of the city wall suddenly ran over and surrounded the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie. Those at the back of the queue saw that the situation was not good, and retreated far away, watching the show with great interest.
"When will you not even be able to drive the road with money?" Listening to the soldier's righteous and upright words, the fifth hearing cloud was almost frightened. If it weren't for the pity he glimpsed with cold eyes on the two city guards, he would have really thought that the city guards of Shenjing had changed their sex.
"Take it!"
Fifth, Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie were not flustered at all, and even exchanged heads and ears, which made those city guards a little stunned. However, there were many of them, and there were cultivators and masters here to help, so they were not polite, and with a wave of their hands, a few people went up and grabbed the fifth Tingyun and Xiao Mengdie.
Neither of them resisted, allowing the other to bind themselves with their hands. It's just that the fifth Tingyun shouted twice: "Big brother, light up." But instead, it provoked the revenge of the city guards who tightened the knots with force, but Xiao Mengdie didn't say anything or did anything, and the city guards just symbolically tied up.
"The way of the world has really changed......"
Fifth, Tingyun pursed his lips, obviously dissatisfied with the unfair treatment he received. Thinking about the last time I came to Shenjing, the situation seemed very different......
