Chapter Twenty-Four: The Floating Capital of Another World (I)

Under the Sky Ridge......

Otherworldly floating capital......

Far away in the northwest wilderness, there is a grassland close to the sky, which seems to be boundless as far as the eye can see.

The population here is sparse to the extreme, but because of a towering Tianling that can pick up stars, a floating capital is located here.

It is also known as the City of Miracles.

Just because he didn't know how this city built on the outskirts of Tianling was built, it was as if the gods had played a joke with mortals, and overnight, it had risen from the ground!

In this way, at first there was a steady stream of believers from all over the world just for the pilgrimage, and the City of Miracles did not disappoint them until that night fifteen years ago!

Everything has changed.

It has gone from being a city of miracles to a realm of demons!

……

A team of horses has been bumpy on the road for dozens of days, stepping on this cold and hard land, the mountains emerge, and the destination has arrived.

At this moment, a pair of dark and bright eyes poked out from behind the curtain, and looked at the miracle in the distance.

At first glance, Fudu looks like a fortress that fills the gaps in the ravine with all kinds of strange blocks, and then connects the gaps that could not be crossed in the past with suspension bridges.

But it doesn't have a tall wall, because there is no need at all, just climbing the mountain peak is beyond the ordinary people's doing, the old people who have lived in this floating capital for more than ten years dare not say that they know every part of its layout, as for the foreign bandits dare to offend, it is only a place to die without a place to be buried.

A-Ning's small body curled up in the car, and he looked at this land of gods and demons that he had heard countless times along the way.

There are fanatical believers who still regard it all their lives just to step into the floating capital, but more people avoid it. Several young people in the convoy were sick with fear. Nowadays there is only intake air and no outlet......

A-Ning was full of expectations. Her instinct told her that she would see that person in Fudu, so she did not hesitate to come all the way here.

She moved her warm legs, which were caught in two layers of felt, and there was a whining sound in her ears, a tall man standing halfway up the mountain, shouting a rhythmic trumpet in a strange voice.

At the same time, there are **** men carrying burdens and walking up the mountain, and you can see cows and sheep floating in the air from a distance.

Finally, I arrived at the city gate of Fudu, a place that was nothing to exist. A circle of earthen walls stood crookedly at the foot of the mountain, and in the middle of it was built a gate made of camphor wood.

Passers-by were dismissive of the dilapidated gate, but they were devout and terrified of the pillars on both sides of the gate.

A-Ning saw it, and it was engraved with names, the names of the hidden people.

What is Divine Concealment? That is, the person who disappeared quietly, there are two kinds of reasons, one is the ancestor who accumulated virtue, was accepted by the gods as a disciple, and was ranked in the immortal class. The other is to anger the devil and be hungry by the devil. There are no bones left......

"I heard that the trial has started in Fudu recently~" At this time, the voice of the rough-bearded man who was driving the car and the boss of the horse team drifted into the felt.

The boss of the horse team was wearing a wide iron armor that he had bought, and it was a misery to wear such a thick cage in this weather, but he didn't care, just dress majesticly.

When people are poor, they have nothing, and when they are developed, they tend to buy things like crazy, although they never know whether the goods they buy are suitable for them, anyway, they buy comfortably.

"Judgment is not our business, we just need to take care of our eyes and mouth."

At this moment, he looked straight ahead with his two eyes, there was no way, he was too worried that his batch of goods could be sold at a good price inside, if not, he would have to try his luck on the black market again.

It's just that the last dangerous scene is still in front of him, which makes him, an outlaw, feel palpitations!

"Damn, what do you want to do so much, do it!" But after thinking about it, this time the horse team is all capable and good, afraid of a bird, "Brothers, put a little bit of the goods, list them all, and go to the girls to put out the fire after entering the city, the familiar family can give cheaper, the luggage is enlarged and the bunks are all enlarged, and there is a place to live in that place, if you want to come back to sleep, come back, don't want to come back and pull down ......"

He said with a big grin, obviously not taking into account A-Ning's existence, but A-Ning's indifferent little face didn't care, it was already a great achievement to be able to send her to Fudu.

Today's world is no better than the end of the Qing Dynasty in the ghost blowing lantern, the poison of the Anshi Rebellion has not yet dispersed from the Central Plains, the trend of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity and decline is inevitable, and the martial arts are even more bloody, and countless sects have fallen down in the process of fighting, falling into pieces, or burning to the point that there are no ashes left......

Fortunately, all of this has nothing to do with Fudu, all kinds of people in the martial arts are ranked according to martial arts, this horse team is not ranked at all, but the road is safe and sound, but it is a confirmation of a bumpy truth-

In the martial arts, those who often die are those with high martial arts, and only the weak can survive!

"The rivers and lakes are chaotic, but the floating capital is very calm here, except for those hermits, this place is like a paradise ......"

At this moment, a middle-aged man opposite A-Ning said softly.

His hair is half black and half white, his facial features are handsome, and he is wearing coarse linen clothes, but he also has a unique style, but it is a pity that his eyes are empty and have no look, he is blind, and his right leg is lame, and there is a cane next to him.

But at this moment, he said like a treasure: "Here every morning there will be the sound of beating cakes, the ethereal smoke mixed with sour and spicy smell, the men here smoke a kind of cigarette tube, the cigarette is thick and long, in addition to smoking, it can be used as a mountaineering cane, it can be used as a fire candle on it when it gets dark, and it can also be used for ......self-defense at critical moments."

Ah Jing listened quietly, and only then did he interject: "So you want to come back?" ”

The blind man smiled and said: "Many people have never returned to their hometown in their lives since the day they roamed the rivers and lakes, not because they don't want to go back, but they die on the way while waiting for the day when they return to their hometown......

A-Ning sneered: "It can also be the loss of humanity in the indiscriminate slashing of the sword, or the loss of feelings in power and high positions!" ”

The man sighed with emotion: "Yes, they can't go back, only the sound of dogs and horses can comfort their empty hearts, and hometown is just a noun of nothingness." Doesn't fit in with the present. It's just history and the past. It can't take you anything......"

He paused, and his tone changed abruptly: "But I want to come back, come back to find my past, and from the day I left my hometown, I made a vow that I would come back one day, no matter how desperate the situation, I will be inspired by it." Fight your way home! ”

A-Ning was silent and turned his head out.

This man is as unpredictable as her, and even compared to her, who used a heavy treasure to buy the boss of the horse team, he appeared unknowingly, but the others turned a blind eye.

It's better not to provoke such people.

Finally, the carriage and horse slowly stopped at the gate of Fudu.

There is a kind of late autumn desolation here at all times, the mottled walls seem to tell the glory of the past, and there is a small door next to the gate, and out of the small door comes an old man with clothes hanging on his body, wearing a pair of straw sandals. Hair hangs dry on the head.

The bad old man came slowly, and everyone stood solemnly. At first, the horse team came with the spirit of victory, but as soon as the old man approached, they all withered.

They took out their weapons and placed them quietly on the ground, still standing solemnly.

Everyone knows where this bad old man came from, he has been working at the Fudu Gate for fifty years, and it is said that he is older than the city lord, and he is the most unprovoked person......

"Don't go to the black village, I've been panicking lately." The bad old man swayed over and spoke in that indistinct local accent.

"What's the panic?" The boss was uncomfortable with him.

"Murder, it's black, the knife is all cut off, I don't know the details." After the old man finished speaking, he began to check what everyone was carrying.

It was not the first time that the boss had come to Fudu, so naturally he would not bring any contraband that angered the gods and demons, so everyone was very calm until the bad old man came to Aning's carriage and stood still.

The boss's face changed a little, and he said with some trepidation: "Shan Lao, don't you break the ban with a little girl?" ”

A-Ning was very calm, calmly meeting the drowsy gaze of the bad old man, and then turned sideways to give way.

Sure enough, A-Ning was not the target of the bad old man at all, the darkness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, staring at the blind man, and after half a sound, a hoarse and ugly voice sounded: "Why did you come back?" ”

Since the bad old man appeared, the man's eyes have followed his footsteps closely, not like a blind man at all, with a faint smile on his face: "Why don't you come back?" ”

The bad old man groaned for a while, and then said a sentence that made the person who changed color in a big way: "You are the chosen one, and the hermit cannot enter the world!" ”

The boss's body trembled so much that he was about to fall off the big axe, this Nima is the rhythm of extinguishing the mouth, can such a confidential word be said casually? Oops, old man, can't let them live!

Even A-Ning's little face changed, for fear that he would suffer an unjustified disaster and die an unknown death.

However, the blind man patted her little hand and smiled, "Don't worry, tonight, there is no moon!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the bad old man's eyes flashed, he waved his hand, and returned to the door with a trembling voice.

That's it?

The boss was stunned and inexplicable, but he hurriedly gestured for the horse team to enter the city quickly, and when he entered the city, he threw off the carriage of A-Ning and the blind man, and ran away without a trace.

The man had already prepared, put up his crutches and slowly got out of the car, showing an apologetic wry smile: "I'm tired of you!" ”

A-Ning jumped out of the car without saying a word with a straight face, and was just about to leave, when suddenly he was full of excitement, and he felt a pair of extremely gloomy eyes staring at him.

She rolled her eyes, and immediately returned to the blind man, as if she were following him.

The man shrugged his shoulders, didn't ask anything, and walked ahead of the car with ease.

The mysterious city unfolded to the two in a fog, the twilight streets lit by oil lamps, and the bell tower swayed in the middle of the square, as if a magical power permeated the past.

A mixture of confusion, anger and fantasy may be something that can cause countless people to die here.

It's like a whirlpool, constantly absorbing the flow of memories surging in his head, so the man knows exactly that this is the floating capital, the real floating capital.

He walked without stopping, and soon walked around the city, but it was not enough, and the second circle followed, and A-Ning followed him step by step, until the night completely descended on the earth.

There is indeed no moon tonight.

As a result, a round of blood vortex became the only light source.

The blood vortex, the famous blade of the Demon Heaven, the symbol of the Seven Killing Castle Lords, the domineering demon soldier that should be unique in the world, appeared in the hands of a bad old man, pointing directly at the blind man.

It's not like the preplay brewing of Li Yu's battle with Motian, this time the bad old man didn't even have half a word, he flashed in, and the blood skyrocketed.

In the windless night, the footsteps are the only sound, and in the night, the old man wrapped in the thick black air is like a god of death, step by step, knock knock, bringing an unparalleled sense of oppression!

Magic Sword - Fall!

The red light flashed, it was the qi sword conjured up by the blood vortex sword, and the speed generated was terrifying, and in the blink of an eye, there were thousands, and the dense blood-colored sword qi rose together with the slight lifting of the magic sword, hanging high in the sky, shining under the dark night sky, like a red blood star shining under the black sky.

"It's still so flashy!"

But this astonishing scene was exchanged for an understatement comment, and the iron crutch in the blind man's hand suddenly pointed out, turning into a sky-high brilliance, burrowing into the blood-colored sword array in the sky.

Tens of thousands of sword qi turned their heads in unison, and were involuntarily drawn into the center, like a needle ball incomparably pointing at the only focus, diffusing thousands of distorted patterns, and finally froze on a green lotus.

After a breath of calm, there was a whoosh, saying that it was too late and that was fast, and the point was in a line, and the sky was full of the sound of breaking the sky and whistling!

But it was no longer a bloody sword qi, but it was transformed into a Qinglian sword song, and it counterattacked the old man.

The overwhelming sword rain forward had already rushed in front of him, and when the lightning was shining, the old man snorted coldly, and the murderous aura suddenly appeared, and the thick aura surrounding his body tumbled endlessly, condensing a red light that was more dazzling than the sword rain in the sky, and the first wave of qi swords crashed into the blood light in a blink of an eye, and soon lost its original color and disappeared.

The blind man's eyes that could not see any color stared ahead, and every time the sword rain was consumed in the blood qi, it was replenished from his iron crutch, and the front and rear were endless, and the attack was more and more victorious.

Where the sword rain and the blood and qi meet, there is actually a sound of collision, like a war drum shaking the sky, echoing endlessly, and beyond the blood and qi cover the wall, there are already smoke and dust rolling, explosions one after another.

This is the collision of green and red, the confrontation of qi and will!

But it was bitter for A-Ning, she curled up her small body, hugged her ears, and struggled to support herself in the corner.

Gao Tianxin, when will you come?

……

However, outside the floating capital, Gao Tianxin, Li Yu, and Motian silently watched the decaying Divine Hidden Pillar, and the traces of time had blurred the names of those people, and they could no longer distinguish them.

But there is no need to distinguish the names of the two people at the top, because they are the fifth generation of the Seven Killing Castle Lord Mirage Wuya and the Sword Pavilion Tianduzi!

It is rumored that the two of them fought here, when the other side flower was born, and it has been fifty years ago.

It's a pity that since that war, the entire floating capital has been reduced to ruins, and the population has disappeared!

"Let's go!"

Li Yu Demon Heaven relied on his predecessors, jumped over this ruin, and officially stepped into the Tianling Realm, but at this moment, Gao Tianxin suddenly turned around and looked at the ruins.

I always feel a familiar breath that disappears in a flash.

Aning, where are you? (To be continued.) )
