Volume 1 Conquest of the Ghost Castle Chapter 182 Searching for Ethereal in the Ethereal City
"Go, go, find your she-donkey!" Jiang Dong pushed the golden donkey away, and having this guy with him always embarrassed at a critical moment.
"Koto, long time no see. I heard some time ago that something happened to you, and I'm sorry. "Rong Xiaoxiao is a native of Shanghai, and his behavior is very foreign and measured.
Jiang Dong smiled, shook his head helplessly and said: "Life and death are fate, blessings and disasters are in the sky, and people can't be resurrected after death, so let her go with the wind." It's Hua Shao, how is it now?"
"He is in Zhongnan Mountain, he has officially joined the main sect, and now his cultivation has also reached the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Realm. Rong Xiaoxiao is talking about an ordinary fellow disciple, without the slightest emotion.
The golden donkey suddenly stepped forward and praised Rong Xiaoxiao for raising the donkey's hooves and saying: "I'll just say that your little female donkey is the most mature and feminine, and your fiancΓ© has been slaughtered, you can still talk to your enemy and ex-lover so calmly, amazing!"
Syllable!
Jiang Dong slapped the golden donkey to the side, this guy is really owed, which pot is not opened, where is the embarrassment where to find. The old goblin made such a fuss, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
"Hahaha, Brother Jiang, you are here today, the largest monk auction house in Kyushu is going to auction some things today, do you want to join in the fun. Gang Feng hurriedly diverted the topic, stretched out one hand, and made a gesture of please.
"Let's go, let's see. "Jiangdong should take the lead, side by side and Gangfeng towards the center of the Ethereal City.
I have to say that if the Ethereal City is in the sun, it must be a fairyland-like place. Not a single building in the entire sprawling megacity was taller than a tree, and even the tallest pagoda was surrounded by a hundred-meter-high cluster of ancient pines.
Standing at the highest point in the city, the entire summit of the mountain is unobstructed, many buildings of various forms are dotted among the jungle, and beyond the top of the mountain is the boundless sea of clouds, the ethereal city is like a fairy island floating on the sea, separated from the dim and gloomy Kyushu. Of course, it was even more gloomy and cold here, but for the ghosts of the Ghost Realm Castle, the yin qi made them feel comfortable.
The Ethereal Castle Auction House, located in the central area of the Ethereal Castle, less than two kilometers away from the tallest pagoda, is the largest auction house in the whole of Kyushu, and of course in the realm of monks.
The auction hall has three floors, with a height of 40 meters, and is covered by a fiery red ancient maple that is 50 meters high, but it has a little more charm.
"Brother Jiang, isn't the Ethereal City very peculiar?" It was still early, and the few people in Gangfeng were not in a hurry to enter the auction hall, and stopped on the street more than three hundred meters away from the auction hall.
"Kyushu, there are still few places I have been to, but I believe that the entire Kyushu has a style like the Ethereal City, I'm afraid I can't find a second one. "Along the way, all roads, no matter how wide they are, are tightly blocked by ancient giant trees, and what makes everyone feel the most is a kind of Tao rhyme, or the feeling of integrating into nature.
"It's still early, I'll take you to a more sensory restaurant. "Gangfeng is very interested, very enthusiastic to lead the way in front, obviously not long after he has just arrived, and the excitement has not subsided.
Soon, everyone stopped at the foot of a steep cliff eighty or ninety meters high, and a plank road extended upwards along the rock wall. The Ethereal City occupies the top of the entire mountain, so the whole city is not flat, but a veritable mountain town.
In addition, it was built in a strict and natural style, so many of the huge rocks that protruded in the city were not removed, but were slightly modified and used, and instead became a unique scenery.
Just like the restaurant they are going to in Jiangdong, it is built on a rock wall sixty or seventy meters high, most of which is hollowed out of the rock body, and a small part is exposed outside the rock wall. Five or six meters away from the rock face is an ancient pine that is eighty or ninety meters high.
This style is very similar to the Hanging Temple of Heng Mountain in the north of Yangji. Rong Xiaoxiao walked beside Jiang Dong and whispered, raising his hand to break off a pine branch, as if he was caught in the memory of another world.
"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the law. The ultimate morality we follow ultimately returns to nature. Jiang Dong sighed with emotion, the construction of the ethereal city seems to be interpreting Lao Tzu's theory.
Gang Feng walked on the top, heard the conversation between the two, turned around and smiled: "This big man in your yang world is really powerful, and his Tao Te Ching is a rare treasure even in the Ghost Realm Fort. The avenue is invisible, giving birth to the world, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time. This word is really well used. β
As they spoke, several people climbed to the entrance of the restaurant above the rock wall. Observe carefully, not only breathtaking, half-inserted flying beam as the base, skillfully borrow the rock hidden support, the beam and column are integrated up and down, the corridor is connected left and right, the twists and turns are surprising, and the virtual and the real are born together.
The eaves have single eaves, heavy eaves, three-layer eaves, the mast structure has a beam lifting structure, a flat-top structure, a bucket arch structure, and the roof has a positive ridge, a vertical ridge, a ridge, and a poor ridge. Ingenious macro system, overlapping and overlapping, resulting in a kind of cave in the building, the hole in the building, half of the wall of the hall and half of the wall, the hole and the hall, the hall and the building of the unique style.
"Ethereal shop, a restaurant with a very elegant name. Climbing the highest steps, a large plaque with white and black letters came into view, and the name alone frightened everyone.
Gangfeng laughed, walked into the store, and there was a pair of Yingmen couplets above the front wall, which was written just right, and it was wonderful. Below the welcome link is the welcome counter, and two young women hurriedly greet everyone.
The crowd did not rush in, and were amazed by the couplet. Ji Ling read softly: "Shanglian, Baiyun has sealed the Flying Pavilion several times; β
"The boss here has a big picture. Gang Feng smiled.
"What a Dao Law Nature!" Lei Xing was amazed, Ethereal City was a monk's world, so he could boldly appear here.
"Thank you for the objective appreciation. While a few people were talking, the boss walked out of it, although he was a Hongchen boss, but he had a feeling of fairy wind and bones, pointing to the four words on the horizontal batch and smiling: "The rules of heaven and earth and all things are said to be the Tao, and the highest state of the Tao is natural." Although he is a Hongchen businessman, his business philosophy is the law of this avenue, and it is natural to do nothing and do nothing. β
Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, but they didn't expect a restaurant owner to say this. The golden donkey swallowed hard and muttered, "Nima, I'm a good girl, and everyone who opened a hotel in the Ethereal City is in this realm?"
"Old donkey, pay attention to your words, don't spoil the scenery with one mouth. The dryad shook its head from the stump and glared at the golden donkey.
Ji Ling echoed with a smile: "Uncle Donkey has always been like this, the realm is as vulgar as the language. β
"Nima, little girl, dare to talk to the elders like this!" The golden donkey had a black old face and went in first.
There are three floors in the ethereal shop, and everyone was taken to the top floor by Xiao Er, and there were already many people on it. A few people sat down by the window, and the entourage of Zhongnan Mountain sat at another table.
"Senior brother, the people of the Qi family are also here. As soon as a few people finished ordering, an entourage from Zhongnanshan came over to make a report.
"yes, I see. Gangfeng poured a glass of water for Jiang Dong and Rong Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, how could you come to this ethereal city, this is the territory of the Qi family." β
"With the enemies I've made so far, either actively or passively, it seems that there aren't many places in the entire Ghost Realm Fort that I can go to. If it's the same everywhere, it's the same everywhere. Jiang Dong smiled, picked up the tea and looked in that direction while drinking, and saw seven or eight Qi family members looking at him angrily.
"Hahaha, it's the same everywhere, Brother Jiang has courage. Gang Feng laughed, without the slightest scruple about the existence of the Qi family, it is also the nine major forces, even if it is in someone else's territory, but as long as it is in the Ghost Realm Fort, he has nothing to fear. Besides, the pitch black is already dead, and the young man of the Qi family who can argue with him is afraid that it will be difficult to find out in a short time.
"Brother Gang is really interested, I'm afraid this laughter can be heard in the entire Ethereal City. A person from the Qi family said coldly.
Gangfeng shook the teacup and pointed at the man: "You, you are not qualified to talk to me, let the darkness come." β
"You!" The Qi family stood up four or five at once, Gang Feng's words were simply to uncover the scars and sprinkle some salt, it was unbearable to be humiliated like this in their territory.
"Brother Gang, it's not wise to offend the Qi family for this person. Suddenly, a voice came from downstairs, and before the words fell, a group of people were already standing in the atrium, and in an instant, a cold air filled the entire third floor.
The people who came were all black cloaks, black cloaks, and black veils, and they could be seen at a glance that they were from Voodoo Ridge. Naturally, it was the witch Mohama who spoke, and when she was in Yaxin, this woman had also targeted Jiangdong, but she hadn't fought against her, and she hadn't seen her since.
Mo Ye glanced at Jiang Dong coldly, and continued in an extremely feminine voice: "Brother Gang, you represent not only Gangfeng, but also Zhongnan Mountain, you have to speak carefully." β
"Hmph!" Gang Feng snorted coldly, and didn't say anything more, Voodoo Ridge and the Qi family were the only two of the nine major forces that majored in the Dark Dao Method, so the two families stood together from the beginning.
In fact, when the nine forces initially rose, in line with the principle of not separating good and evil, several forces that claimed to be righteous forces jointly strangled the Qi family and Voodoo Ridge, but because the alliance between the two was very close, it never succeeded, until the righteous forces reluctantly admitted the existence of the two, which formed a situation of coexistence of the nine forces.
"Thank you, Brother Dao. Several people from the Qi family hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but they didn't dare to get too close, the people of Voodoo Ridge could hide poison all over their bodies, even in their eyes, and they were the most terrifying of the nine forces.
"It's only been five years since Yaxin got together, but I didn't expect that there would be several Dao brothers who would never appear again. As soon as the people from Voodoo Ridge sat down, there was a half-yang and half-yin voice downstairs, followed by a few figures flashing and appearing on the third floor, all dressed up in the Ming Dynasty, and the people from Dongchang also came.
The chief foreman Cao Shaoqing nodded to everyone, and then took a group of eunuchs to find a place to sit down, and from beginning to end, he did not show too closeness to any force.
"Brother Gang, several major forces have appeared in Ethereal City, I'm afraid it's not just an auction, right?" Jiang Dong wondered.
"That's right, I'll just say you've been lucky. I'm afraid you'll be able to get another big cause and effect when you come to Ethereal City this time. Gangfeng said speechlessly, I really don't know which tendon this guy has taken wrongly, and his mind is hot and he came to the Ethereal City.
Rong Xiaoxiao said solemnly: "A few days ago, a valley in the northwest of the Ethereal City suddenly became black, and it is suspected that it may be the burial place of the most mysterious of the nine earth demons. β
