Soon, the two successfully caught up with the large army.

The people who were marching slowly began to speed up, and finally, just after dusk, they saw the city of Zhongmo Mansion that appeared in a desert.

Zhongmo Mansion is the largest prefecture in Wuqu County, and from the high altitude, its topography is distinct, showing a scene of yellow in the middle and green in the outer circle.

The green outer circle is the most common green grassland in Yuepizhou.

The yellow in the middle is a desert that covers a large area. This is also the origin of the name of Zhongmo Mansion.

Of course, the area is not small, it is relatively speaking, with the common scene of good mountains and green water in Wuqu County, there can be a desert in it, which is not rare.

The Zhongmofu City is located in the center of the desert, with large houses with white walls and red tiles, with the surrounding yellow sand, this quite exotic city is intuitively displayed in front of everyone.

"Whew, it's finally here. ”

Under his feet, green and yellow were distinct, and He Zhangcheng said excitedly.

"Spectacular. ”

Wang Yun also sighed, in his past life and in this life, this was the first time he had seen the desert. The sight of yellow sand in the sky, the magnificence of the yellow sand and the blue sky in the distance, gave him a great shock.

At the end of the field of vision, the city of Zhongmofu stands in the middle of the desert, the city and the yellow sand meet and reflect each other, and tolerate each other, this scene makes people who see it for the first time only feel like a mirage, full of illusory and unreal beauty.

In this desert, there really is a city.

Dusk has passed, although the summer sun is scorching, but with the arrival of night, the sand grains that have been roasted during the day have slightly faded from the heat, and stepping on it is not hot feet, but a little warm.

Except for a few classmates from Yujing County, it was the first time for everyone to see such a vast desert with no edge in sight, and they couldn't help but feel a little excited for a while.

Of course, just because you can't see it now doesn't mean you won't be able to see it in the future. When they enter the city, they will know what it means to have an unobstructed view.

A group of students, with excitement, moved towards Fucheng with a new face. Along the way, they stopped and stopped, stopping from time to time to touch the yellow sand under their feet, the warm, smooth feeling, and the urge to lie on it and sleep.

Just as the sky was about to get completely dark, they finally reached the gate of the city.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be said to be a gate, after all, there is no such thing as a city wall.

Standing in front of everyone's eyes was a huge pitch-black boulder shaped like a rabbit's head.

The boulder is hidden in the sand, so it is not known what it looks like in its entirety, but the height of the ground is five people high, and depending on its size, the sand will only be larger underneath.

The boulder is smooth and angular, but the cracks around the edges tell the world that it has been around for a long time.

In addition, on the side of the boulder facing everyone, there are four big characters on it: Zhongmo Mansion City.

If people come from other directions, they will find that there is such a huge stone in the other three directions of the city. The boundary of the city is divided by four huge stones.

Wang Yun looked away from the boulder and looked at the city again.

First of all, the most striking thing is not that the city has no walls, but that there is a very high pavilion in the center of the city.

The pavilion is about 20 zhang high, and it is in the shape of square and angular shapes. Look carefully, there are cornices outside the pavilion, and there are carved railings inside, giving people the exquisite feeling of flying eaves against the sky.

With the arrival of night, except for the top two floors, the entire pavilion is lit with lights, reflecting the longing of the people inside, giving people the feeling of singing and singing.

"It's a statue of singing and dancing. ”

Wang Yun muttered.

With that, he glanced at the two floors at the top of the pavilion that were shrouded in darkness, and wandered his gaze to the low, white-walled and red-tiled houses that occupied the most view.

"There is no loss of beauty in the scattered, and it is not new in the dilapidated. ”

His admiration is undisguised.

"Mm-hmm, that's really good. ”

"It's not the same as the castle we've seen before. ”

"Nonsense, you've only seen a few cities, do you have a handful of them?"

"Well, I don't think so. ”

Everyone was also amazed by this scene and commented on it.

"This boulder at the door has a legendary story. ”

Different from Li Huang, who is more straightforward, except for some gaffes when he met Wang Yun and others, his image of a humble gentleman has been well maintained along the way, and he gently answers all kinds of questions from everyone.

Now, seeing that everyone was immersed in the first sight of Zhongmo Mansion City, he took the initiative to tell everyone what he had learned about Zhongmo Mansion City.

Legend has it that it was based on a supernatural stone that has existed for thousands of years. Later, there was a Spirit Emperor here to fight, and when it moved to the real fire, the powerful Spirit Trick smashed this Heavenly Stone. Countless small stones fell into the desert like fish into the sea. The large boulders were used by the people who lived here as the boundaries of the city, and they have survived to this day. ”

"These stones are cool to the touch in the summer and warm to the touch in the winter, and they are unusually smooth, often played with, and have a more warm feeling, so they attract the locals, who pick them up from the desert and sell them in the city, and have long been known as a livelihood here. ”

The eloquent narration of Hui wine flashed in people's minds the spectacular scene of the supernatural boulder being shattered by the spirit formula, and the scene of people picking up stones in the desert without fear of hard work.

When Wang Yun heard this, he said playfully: "This story is not true, right?"

Hui Jiu smiled and nodded, "You specifically learned about Zhongmo Mansion before?"

"No, I just think this story is a bit fake. ”

Hui Jiu glanced at Wang Yun in admiration and said:

"You think you're right. Although Zhongmofu City is located in the center of the desert, there is no shortage of water and food. According to the local annals, this place is like the Juanjuan stream flowing into the river, and people feel that this place is suitable for survival, and they spontaneously gather to form today's Zhongmofu City. As for the stones, it is to let people from other places have something to bring with them, as a means of commemoration, and it can also be regarded as a means of livelihood for the local people. ”

"Yes, yes, who came up with this?"

Wang Yun sighed, and a sentence flashed silently in his heart, "There are smart people everywhere, and souvenirs can be made in this industry, it's okay." ”

This idea came from the first city lord, the city lord's surname was Zhao, he liked to be called by others, and people were used to being called like this, but they forgot his real name. ”

Hui Jiu shook his head with some pity, feeling a little sorry that such a character only left his surname.

"It is said that this Zhao city lord is also a legendary figure, and when we walk to the center of the city, we can see the statue of this city lord, which is also regarded as the gratitude and commemoration of the local people to him. ”

After saying this, Hui Jiu pointed to the tall pavilion in the distance, and continued:

"This pavilion is called the Star Picking Tower. When the moon is in the middle of the sky, when the stars are all over the sky, living upstairs, there is a feeling that only one hand can pick the stars, so it is named after the star picking building. The handwriting of this building also originated from the Zhao City Lord. ”

Hui Liquor did not sell Guanzi, and continued in the inquiring eyes of everyone:

"At that time, people were debating whether to build a city wall. One school of thought believed that the city walls were necessary for the city, and that if there were no walls separated by them, ordinary animals could enter, posing a great threat to the mortals in the city, so the city walls should be built to deal with external threats. ”

One faction believes that the place where everyone stands is soft sand, not to mention the difficulty of building the wall, and even if it is completed, the city wall may collapse due to the movement of sand. Moreover, this place is located in the middle of the desert, and the terrain is relatively high compared to other places, living here can already have an unobstructed view of the surrounding desert, if a beast attacks, you can arrange for the patrol to kill it in the distance. ”

"Besides, if it is really an external threat, the strange beasts that exist in the sand are the real threat, and they can walk under the sand, so the city wall is even more useless. With this effort, it is better to clear the threat in the desert, which is the king of survival. ”

"When the quarrel continued, it was the city lord of Zhao who made a final decision, and presided over the construction of this star-picking tower, looking from the upper floor, the radius of dozens of miles was all in view. Whether there is a threat or not, it can also be detected at the first time. ”

"Later, as this place became more and more prosperous, beasts and the like became more and more rare, and at the same time, the strange beasts in the desert were also cleaned up by the spirits, and the Zhongmo Mansion City was truly settled. As a result, the role of the watchtower of the Star Picking Tower gradually faded, and this place became a place for people to climb high and look far away and stretch their minds. ”

Everyone listened carefully to Huijiu's narration, and nodded thoughtfully, this time, they had a general understanding of Zhongmo Mansion City.

"What, are you feeling unwell?"

Wang Yun glanced at Huang Zhongling, who was silent, and said with concern.

The land of the desert is undoubtedly an area dominated by earth spirits, and the Zhongmofu School Palace is also the place with the most earth spirits among the several schools in Wuqu County.

Such a place is not so friendly to other spirits, and especially unfriendly to wood spirits.

After all, the recent greenery is also beyond the desert.

Huang Zhongling shook her head, "No, I came to Zhongmo Mansion City with my parents once when I was a child, but I was still young at that time, and I don't remember the scene at that time. Now that the two are contrasting with each other, I sighed for a while. ”

Wang Yun saw that her expression was a little strange, and knew that the other party was missing her parents who had not seen her for many years, so he stretched out his hand, gently touched her head, and comforted: "Come on, when we step into the realm of the spirit master, we will go to the east to meet the sea clan together." ”

In this regard, Huang Zhongling nodded silently.

"Oh, little masters, you're here!"

Suddenly, a thin figure rushed towards them, and the content of his shouting attracted everyone's attention to him.

"You are?"

Li Xiaodong took a step forward and asked suspiciously.

"Wang Halo!"

The thin figure ignored him, and walked past him and greeted Wang Yun directly.

"Eh, this brother, we've met?"

Wang Yun looked at the other party carefully, and there was no impression in his mind.

"What are you talking about, of course we have seen it, I turned around to stare at you!"

The thin figure is dressed as a farmer, dressed in coarse cloth and a somewhat yellowed hat, and the image is not ungrounded.

Well, his accent is also unusually down-to-earth, and the degree of grounding makes Wang Yundu look confused.

"Ahh

"I don't like to stare at you, I'm glaring at you!"

The farmer spoke again, making the doubts on everyone's faces even thicker.

"I've been staring at you for a long time! You're in a hurry! Come with me!"

After speaking, he hooked his hands, turned around and walked into the distance first, muttering as he walked, "Oh my God, it's swollen." ”

"Well, it should be that the teacher of the school palace sent him to wait for us, it seems that the other classmates have already arrived and are waiting for us, let's follow him first. ”

Wang Yun touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, and in a flash of thought, he already roughly understood what the other party said, and led everyone to follow.

"Hey, that old brother in front, aren't we going into the city?"

After walking for a while, Wang Yun found that the farmer was grazing the edge of the city and walking eastward.

It's going to be completely dark, so why don't you go into the city at this time, but run in the desert?

So, he shouted at the man in confusion.

"Mu Jin, Mu Jin, you beat people and Mu is in the city, follow me!"

The farmer turned around and urged impatiently.

"Uh, keep up, keep up. ”

Wang Yun touched the tip of his nose again in embarrassment, and motioned for everyone to follow first.

So, when everyone was in the dark, as soon as they came to Zhongmofu City, they were led by a strange man towards an unknown place.

Behind him, Li Huang and Hui Jiu looked at each other, stood for a while, and quickly followed everyone.
