Chapter 971: Reaching the Cloud Realm
In fact, it is roughly estimated to be the area of that ancient city that should not be inferior to the urban area of the entire Huahai City.
But for some reason, that huge ancient city, shrouded in a dark cloud like a demonic world, never dissipated, and from a distance, it was filled with a primordial wild and gloomy atmosphere, which made people surprised and a little frightened.
"According to historical records, in the era when Xiuzhen was prevalent, Black Dragon City was also a spiritual city, with many sects and prosperous sects, but later the entire Xiuzhen world changed drastically, and those people from the sects gradually disappeared and disappeared, and the vast city became a barren land, until more than a thousand years ago, powerful people discovered this place, and only one after another, and there were people living in the city, until it evolved into today's status quo!"
Jiang Tingting said with some emotion, although those sects and sects in the past have mysteriously disappeared, every time she enters the Black Dragon City, she can still feel the splendor of the Xiuzhen era, and the years have corrupted everything, which is embarrassing.
After the advent of the end of the Dharma era, this ancient city built in the Xiuzhen civilization was forever shrouded by dense dark clouds for some reason, like an eternal dark place.
Jiang Tingting reminded that although the entire Black Dragon City is relatively stable, there are occasionally some strange things that happen.
Some of them are deliberately done by monks with ulterior motives, while others are so unpredictable that they can't find their source, and they are full of ominous smells.
So after entering the city, she asked everyone not to run around, especially to remind Yang Di and greet the girls around him.
"Hmm. Yang Di naturally didn't dare to be careless, macroscopically speaking, this Cangyun Realm is also a relic of the Xiuzhen civilization.
This kind of place is full of too many unknowns and dangers for the monks of the world, and even the powerful people at the top of the world dare not trespass around.
"Why don't we just fly over?" Li Xuanya asked with a smile with her big eyes.
"Around this ancient city, there is an inexplicable flow of air, and the treasure cannot be vacated. Jiang Tingting explained with a smile.
"It's magical. Ning Yunzhu smacked his lips and said.
The group began to walk, hurriing into the distance.
......
After almost two hours, the crowd finally entered the ancient city.
The mottled bluestone streets, engraved with the vicissitudes of time, and the surrounding buildings, all in ancient style, although many have decayed, but still very magnificent.
"It's much grander than the Chang'an City depicted in the movie. Ning Mo exclaimed that in this huge ancient city, there are many ghostly buildings, which are the residences of those sects and ancient families in the legend.
This is much more mysterious than the ancient human cities depicted by ancient historians, and the former cultivation realm is indeed fascinating.
"Nowadays, the well-preserved temples, manors, and pavilions in Black Dragon City have all been divided among various forces in the monastic world, and of course, there are also indigenous people who have been here for a long time and have little contact with the outside world. Jiang Tingting introduced with a smile.
The streets are not bleak, there are all kinds of people in fancy costumes, coming and going, and there are even markets and shops in business.
The things sold are full of ancient atmosphere, mostly daily necessities and food, and some people even set up stalls, as if they were selling various magic weapons.
In short, accustomed to the atmosphere of the current bustling metropolis, suddenly coming to such an isolated place will make people feel like they are separated from the world, and have experienced the cycle of years.
There are still three days before the trade event, Yang Di and they came in advance, and now on the surrounding streets, you can already see a lot of dusty figures, and they want to come to participate in the December trade event.
"There are a lot more people than usual. The Qing Zhongdao people sighed and said, the most special battle meeting in the past and present is about to begin, and many retreat figures and hermit groups are all on the stage, and the monastic world is unprecedentedly lively.
Compared with the outside world, which has gradually distanced itself from the Xiuzhen civilization, this kind of place, where monks from all walks of life obviously come and go more frequently, and they are all preparing for the Dao Contest.
Under the leadership of Jiang Tingting, everyone entered a post house in the city that night.
Yes, it is indeed a post house, there are no luxury hotels, no hotels, only some monks and aborigines using ancient buildings to develop simple accommodations, like the kind of inns in ancient times.
For the rich material enjoyment of this primitive atmosphere, the crazy girls were very excited, and they felt like they had traveled through thousands of years and returned to the ancients.
Although there are some daily necessities brought in by monks from the outside world, the industrial atmosphere is very shallow, there are no cars, and there are no electric lights.
"Miss, you're here!" A white-haired shopkeeper came out to greet him, wearing a simple green shirt and canvas clothes, and pulled him to the crew to play a costume drama, without makeup.
Of course, most of the people here are like this, people like Yang Di and others wearing denim, T-shirts, and sneakers, they know at a glance that they are outsiders and will not stay in this kind of place for a long time.
"Fauber, help us prepare a few upper rooms. Jiang Tingting looked at the old man with some seriousness and said.
She told Yang Di and the others that this was a member of the Jiang family, but most of her life had been spent in the Black Dragon City of the Cangyun Realm, cultivating here, and doing some business for the Jiang family here.
In this kind of place, the income is naturally not the monetary benefits of the modern society in the outside world, but mostly things related to cultivation.
In fact, many of the cultivation realm giants in the outside world have their own strongholds and businesses in this place, and most of the cultivation resources of their clan come from this kind of place.
In these overseas areas, some spirit stones and spirit ores can also be mined, and in addition, it is much easier to grow elixir fields here.
As for the ancient cultivation family and those ancient tribes, why don't they simply move their ancestral land here, Jiang Tingting's answer is that some of them are indeed overseas, but the nine ancient cultivation families, as well as the Dao Sect, as well as some relics of the current cultivation world, all have a deep relationship with something in the outside world, or have unusual reasons.
In short, although the overseas aura is stronger, the foundation of the ancient cultivation family and many cultivation realm forces is still outside.
Maybe it's because of some factors, or maybe it's because I'm not at ease with the overseas environment, after all, the former spiritual realm has collapsed, and maybe one day, that kind of tragedy will happen again.
Moreover, most of the ancestral lands of those ancient cultivator families and ancient tribes occupied the blessed land of the Cave Heaven, and their aura was not inferior overseas.
After checking in to the Jiang family's inn, the shopkeeper of Fu Bo reminded everyone that at night, try not to go out and walk around.
Recently, there are many times more people from all walks of life who have come to this Black Dragon City than before, and there are often conflicts that break out, especially at night, and it is not very peaceful.
Of course, even if you live in a post house, you have to be careful, because it is said that there are often big thieves and thieves in the city recently, and even the territory of the ancient cultivator family and even the Daomen are still patronized, and even murder and arson occasionally happen.
In the house, Yang Di sat cross-legged and breathed, sleeping in this kind of place was really a bit wasteful, but it was very suitable for cultivation.
Yang Di even thought that his current power is still too shallow, and when his momentum grows in the future, he may also be able to send people overseas to develop some foundations, and it must be very promising to plant elixirs and collect spiritual things.
"In Xia Hu Yaodong, ask to see Master Yang!"
In the middle of the night, downstairs at the inn, a hearty voice suddenly came, a guest came, but not to stay in the hotel, but to ask to see someone.
The shopkeeper Fu Bo came out to check for the first time, and in the hall on the first floor, I saw that this person had a tiger on his back, a beard, a copper bell and big eyes, and a fierce horse chopping knife on his back, which was quite imposing, and the cultivation was not weak, even in the city, there were several masters of Fu Bo, who was surprised.
Soon, several people walked in one after another, all of them were also dressed strangely, and their outfits were piercing, there were emaciated men wearing hats and black veils like rivers and lakes, as well as strange monks holding Zen sticks and wearing black robes, as well as loose monks in Taoist robes, and fairy dependents.
Some of them are known to Fu Bo and have lived in this Black Dragon City for a long time, but some of them are very faceless.
"What do you mean by that?" Fauber frowned, it seemed that the young man had just entered the city and was being targeted, and he didn't know whether these guys were friends or foes.
Fortunately, the four elders of the clan were present, and in addition, there were also terrifying protectors around the young man, otherwise this posture would be really difficult to greet.
"It's not interesting, I just want to meet the legendary alchemy master!" The monk in the black robe smiled a little playfully, and his tone didn't seem to be too polite, but it seemed to be a bit domineering.
"Black Demon Monk, is this really your treasure temple, our Jiang clan's territory, how can outsiders be allowed to go wild?"
Fu Bo's face was a little cold, and at the same time his heart was also awe-inspiring, this monk in a black robe, quite famous in the city, not a small background, once a famous place in the outside world, and later settled here, occupying a temple treasure.
This person acted in a strange style in the past, and had a lot of bad deeds, and after coming to this Black Dragon City, he did not restrain much, he was publicized, and he was retribution.
Because of his strong cultivation and strange methods, even people with the background of the ancient cultivation family have to retreat in the city.
Now that the Black Demon Monk and a group of people from three sects and nine streams are here, I'm afraid they don't all want to be polite, and they have the taste of self-contained land snakes.
However, the identity of the young man is too special, and he is destined to be eye-catching wherever he goes.
"Old man Jiang Fu, don't use the name of the ancient cultivation family to suppress people, who doesn't know, your Jiang family is just a side descendant of the ancient Jiang family, the real Jiang family has long disappeared, and with the current Jiang family, it is not possible to claim to be the descendant of Emperor Yan!" The rugged bearded man was also quite unruly, and he did not give face because this was the territory of the Jiang family.
"This is very true, most of the ancient cultivators in the world have put gold on their faces, I am afraid that the ancestors of the past are just subordinates of the ancient clan, if they are the real descendants of the ancient clan, their qualifications are generally much higher than now!"
