Chapter 142: Leave the City
Before twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Zheng Xian and his entourage turned over a sandbag and really came to a sparsely lit city.
This city is made of stone, and the red lacquer above the city gate is carved with three traditional characters.
Fortunately, these three words are not too complicated, and Zheng Xian's cultural level is not too high, so he can also recognize them.
Zheng Xian looked at the three big characters, and felt a little inexplicable in his heart, could it be that this city was heralding something for him? Stay, stay, is it telling him not to return to the mortal world?
Of course, the scale of this left city is very small compared to the city with a population of one million in the mortal world, but in this lonely and boundless desert, it jumped out of thin air and suddenly appeared, which still made Zheng Xian feel a little shocked.
In particular, the desolate and distant sense of history on the stone wall has a kind of majesty that is not angry and self-assured.
Zheng Xian hesitated: "Shouldn't this Legacy City be the same as the small village controlled by the green-robed corpse venerable before, right?"
When the swordfish heard this, his face changed, and those three corpse fruits called swordfish also suffered a lot.
The old man with a sweet potato smiled: "Don't worry about going in, there are mortals and immortals here, but there is a clear distinction between mortals and immortals, immortals are the real rulers of this city, although mortals also have identities, but most of them are slaves at this level, so the three of you, from now on are my slaves, enter the city, let's avoid those spirit crows, stay for one night and leave tomorrow, during this period, you don't talk nonsense and don't look around." ”
Daoyu and Zheng Xian are both existences that can be forbearing, and they know when to do something, but the two of them subconsciously looked at the nightingale, no matter how you look at it, this woman is not able to be a servant.
The nightingale was silent, turned away, and disappeared into the night, apparently choosing to stay outside the city.
As for the Raven Castle, the Nightingale did not seem to be afraid.
The swordfish was speechless to the nightingale, this girl is too thoughtful, and I don't know what kind of man can control it.
The old man of the sweet potato seemed to know that the Dao would be like this, and looked at Zheng Xianhe and Daoyu and said, "The breeding armor on your body has to be put away, and immortal cultivators don't like mortals to be too weird." ”
Zheng Xian and Daoyu showed embarrassed expressions and went to the armor, wouldn't they have to bare butts?
No wonder Nightingale chose to leave, if she wanted to enter the Stay City, she would at least take off the huge glasses, which was simply impossible in the eyes of Zheng Xian and Daoyu.
The old man of the sweet potato seemed to have been prepared, and threw away two sets of rough clothes made of linen and said: "The clothes in the fairy world are still in the time when the immortals are peeling off, and the materials that are too fine can't be put on the body, so you can wear this." ”
Zheng Xian took the clothes, cotton and linen fabrics, the warp and weft threads are relatively thick, it looks similar to the sack pieces, and it is a little prickly in his hands, but these are nothing to Zheng Xian, he even wore plastic bags as clothes for a month when he was a child.
The two of them changed into linen clothes, and their whole temperament changed immediately, and they really looked like slaves.
The sweet potato also changed into a brocade thick shirt like the landlord's old wealth, and it looked like a monkey and a crown, like an old monkey in the circus wearing a theater robe. The folded face, the dark face, and the smooth and delicate silk fabric, tsk, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel awkward.
Daoyu looked at Dao Gu with some expectation, wondering if this Dao Gu should also change her outfit, but Dao Yu was very disappointed, Dao Gu's clothes did not have the slightest atmosphere of the times, and she was also an immortal cultivator, it should not be a problem to wear some good fabrics here, obviously there is no need to change.
The swordfish peeled off the dried three corpse fruits on the wooden spear and threw them into the rattan basket behind him, and the wooden spear discarded it casually, and together with Zheng Xian, followed behind the sweet potato and Daogu, and walked towards the city.
From a distance, there were thirty armor soldiers two meters tall and covered with iron armor guarding the city gate.
There were no torches under the walls, and these armor soldiers were lined up on both sides of the city, and the black and rusty iron armor reflected the faint moonlight, indescribable majesty.
It was pitch black in the iron armor, as if it were a dead thing!
These armor soldiers were originally motionless, and their bodies looked like they had accumulated a layer of dust and gravel, but when Zheng Xian and his party approached, two ghostly lights suddenly appeared from the pitch-black helmets, and they looked extraordinarily infiltrating in the dark night.
Immediately, these armor soldiers made a clicking sound, and they all took a step forward, and with a click, the long knife like a horse chopping knife on their waists came out of the sheath by half an inch, the cold light flickered, and the killing aura was awe-inspiring.
The armor soldiers, who were originally like dead things, suddenly surged up with nearly three thousand vitality at this time, and in Zheng Xian's eyes, each of these armor soldiers was like a small army.
Sweet potato stepped forward calmly, reached out and took out a piece of jade with a round square hole from his arms, which looked like a copper coin, but it was too big, the size of a palm.
Zheng Xian noticed that the jade material was exactly the same as the two pieces of jade in his hand.
"This jade coin is the coin in the fairy world, ten times more valuable than gold, and this thing is indispensable when entering and exiting the city gate. Sweet Potato didn't seem to care much about the armor soldiers on the other side, and explained directly.
Zheng Xian and Dao Gu listened very carefully.
The leader of the armor reached out and took the jade coin, weighed it in his hand, and crushed it with a clatter, and the power of vitality suddenly appeared in the jade coin.
These thirty armorers immediately gathered over, opened their mouths and swallowed the vitality power, and in a moment, a large amount of vitality power was swallowed by these thirty armorers.
Then the leader of the armor swept a pair of ghost-like eyes from the sweet potato, Dao Gu, Zheng Xian and the knife fish one by one, and when that gaze came, Zheng Xian felt that his cheeks were like a thin needle piercing, which was quite uncomfortable.
The leader of the armor waved his hand, and the armor soldiers behind him took a step back, the long knife returned to the sheath, and after the sonorous sound, the vitality instantly fell to the bottom, and there was no movement.
The city gate opened a gap that only allowed one person to pass through, and looking along this gap, Zheng Xian felt that he had traveled through time and space, returning to the world world hundreds of years ago, in this fairy world, time seemed to be frozen in the moment when the immortals were stripped off hundreds of years ago.
In the world where immortals live forever, the progress of the entire society has been limited to a very low level, taking Chinese civilization as an example, how big can the gap between the Tang Dynasty and the Qingming Dynasty be?
In addition to the change of dynasties, hundreds of years of time seem to have frozen, and the same is true here.
Antique wooden house buildings, swaying in the wind, bluestone-paved roads...... Everything tells that this is Zheng Xian's impression that belongs to the world of the past.
The sweet potato old man was the first to get into the crack in the door, and then the nightingale Daogu saury entered one after another, and Zheng Xian was the last one.
After Zheng Xian left, the heavy wooden door immediately creaked shut.
Walking on the bluestone-paved road, everyone, including Dao Gu, was looking around curiously, and the sweet potato old man was the only calm existence.
The streets here are much narrower than those in the mortal world, except for the main road where you enter the city gate, which is five meters wide, the other roads are only about three meters, and at most can only accommodate two carriages in parallel, as for those small alleys that are only about one meter or so, there are even more like cows.
At this time, it was already late at night, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and every pedestrian walked by, Zheng Xian, Daoyu and Dao Gu all looked at it secretly.
Sweet potato coughed dryly and said in a low voice: "Don't look around, immortal cultivators don't like a lowly mortal looking up and down with such a gaze. ”
After walking for a while, I saw seven or eight pedestrians, there were immortal cultivators and mortals, the cultivation of immortal cultivators was not too high, the most powerful one was only more than two thousand vitality power, and the low one was a little stronger than ordinary people, and mortals were generally weaker than mortals in the mortal world, and the vitality power was about one hundred.
And the mortals here are quite restrained, once they encounter an immortal cultivator coming from the opposite side, they immediately bow their heads and stand on their sides, looking cautious.
At this time, there was a crow cry in the sky in the distance, and the croaking sound was getting closer and closer, and the small crow castle carried by the ten thousand crows at the back of the city slowly flew over the city, and the city also erected a light red light shield before the ten thousand crows flew over, and those spirit crows avoided it far away when they saw this light mask, and did not dare to come.
Zheng Xian asked suspiciously, "Is this still the territory of the Yin Poison Gate, isn't that the Crow Castle the immortal treasure of the Yin Poison Gate?"
The old man of the sweet potato spoke: "This city is indeed one of the thirty-eight cities under the jurisdiction of the Yin Poison Gate, and the spirit crows on the Crow Castle have limited spiritual opening, and they can't distinguish between friend and foe, so they must release a light mask to tell the spirit crows that the existence here is not allowed to be touched, otherwise those spirit crows don't care if this city belongs to the Yin Poison Gate." ”
Zheng Xian looked up at the crow castle and asked, "What is the crow castle, is it really a castle?"
The old man of the sweet potato glanced up, then shook his head and said, "It's just a ruin made of skeletons, and you definitely don't want to see the true appearance of the Crow Castle." ”
After speaking, the old man with a sweet potato let out a breath of turbidity, and Zheng Xian could see that the old man with a sweet potato had no good impression of this fairy world today.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance shattered the tranquility of the night, and the sweet potato hurriedly pulled Zheng Xian and the others to the side of the path, and then saw two horseshoe antler beasts galloping over, pulling a luxurious carriage behind them.
The vitality of these two beasts was as much as three thousand, and Zheng Xian couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
The carriage swept by, leaving a refreshing fragrance all the way.
Zheng Xian looked back and saw that the carriage was galloping out of the city, and then the entire carriage took off into the air and disappeared into the dark sky by the two strange beasts with clouds under their feet.
The old man of the sweet potato said: "The Hulu beast is born under the feet, it is good at running and flying, it is not a big deal, and the most person sitting in the car is at least a Venerable of the Yin Poison Gate." ”
The old man of the sweet potato drove through the alleys with a familiar car, and the dark and cold night reflected the alleys of this fairy world as if they were some rural corner in the mortal world.
At the end of the alley, there is an inn, rough everywhere, with the gate closed.
Sweet Potato patted the dust and gravel on his body and said, "If my prediction is good, we will be able to find the Night Charm Golden Lotus tomorrow, and let's sleep here tonight to recuperate." ”
