Chapter 2: Moon City
"Boy, if you want to save us, go downstream, keep swimming, don't stop. Xingluo fell into the well of the water spring of all things, and the voice of Yangtian was still clearly transmitted.
Xingluo didn't swim at all, because there was a strong suction force under the spring that was sucking him, the spring water was different from what he saw in the Yin Underworld Mountain, at this time Xingluo was in a pitch-black environment, with a little light around him, Xingluo remembered that Tianji had explained before, opened his limbs, twisted his body, and used all his strength to touch the ball of light along the way.
Upon contact with the first ball of light, a broken compass appeared in Xingluo's hand, followed by a second point of light, and then a third point of light.
Xingluo kept trying to touch the ball of light.
After a long time, Xingluo once again felt a violent whirlwind of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, there was a blinding red light, and a rolling heat wave hit. Xingluo only felt that his body, which had just begun to fall, was flying in the air again.
In front of him was an erupting volcano, overflowing with magma, and the rolling heat wave washed Xingluo more than two miles away, and fell headlong into the trees.
Even if Xingluo ate countless strange flowers and fruits in the Yin Immortal Mountain, but a mortal without a realm who fell from a height of hundreds of meters like this, he also fell with golden light, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be scattered, lying on the ground and humming, the compass turned into a ball of light, a broken sword, and a battle flag fell to the ground.
After most of the day, Xingluo slowly recovered, looked around for the scattered treasures, and muttered: "Grandpa Tianji is really true, why don't you find a better landing place, what if you fall into the volcano and burn me to death." ”
Dressed in tattered clothes like a beggar, he walked in a random direction away from the volcano.
Three days later, the hungry Xingluo saw the smoke from a distance, and there seemed to be a town in front of him, with the occasional horse chirping. For the first time, Xingluo saw something different from the Yin Underworld Mountain, and for the first time, he heard the real horse sound. Xingluo ran all the way to the city gate.
Approached the city gate and watched the flow of people coming in and out, the purple-eyed underworld, the black-eyed human.
The city wall reads "Moon Underworld City", which should be the underworld that Grandpa Tianji said.
Xingluo was extremely excited, and walked around curiously towards the city.
Xingluo originally wanted to enter the city, but was stopped outside the city by the guards.
This is not to blame the guards, at this time Xingluo is like a beggar, his clothes are torn into strips of cloth, and his body is still hung with tattered pieces fished up from the water of everything, what a compass, a broken sword, a cracked gourd, a battle flag that has been burned by fire, etc.
And Xingluo is still a human race, although there is not much difference between the bloodline of the underworld and the human race, but the black pupils of the underworld will never appear, which is determined by the difference in bloodline.
There were also several beggars outside the city, who were also underworlds, looking at Xingluo, feeling that Xingluo might have come from another city to steal business. Walking towards Xingluo, several people separated in a fan-shape, forcing Xingluo into a small forest not far away, gearing up, looking like he was ready to clean up Xingluo.
The underworld is still martial, even these beggars have more or less learned some mud postures, and the things hanging on Xingluo's body look like copper, grab them and sell them to the old blacksmith in the city, maybe they can be exchanged for two dollars.
Xingluo didn't know what these underworld people wanted to do, but he still cooperated and pushed into the woods.
It wasn't until a few beggars pressed Xingluo to the ground and beat him wildly that Xingluo reacted, relying on his strong body, breaking free from the suppression of a few, and knocking them to the ground in three or two strokes, Grandpa Tianji said that you can't easily hurt the lives of mortals, so Xingluo didn't shoot too hard, knocked over a few people and stripped off their clothes, and tied them to the trunk of a tree.
"You're trying to rob me, aren't you?" Xingluo sat on the ground, looking at several naked beggars.
"My lord, the immortal, we have eyes but no beads, please let us go. Several beggars wanted to cry without tears, thinking that Xingluo was also a beggar, but they didn't expect that it was a martial arts master, and they couldn't stand up with one punch.
"I'm not an adult, I'm not as big as you, you're an adult, I'm not an immortal, I haven't started cultivating yet, you're wrong. Xingluo corrected the beggars' words.
"Master, spare your life, Master, we know that we are wrong, Master spare your life, Master. Several beggars didn't dare to answer Xingluo's question, but just cried and begged for mercy.
Seeing that they didn't answer, Xingluo raised his head and looked at the sky and thought for a while: "Grandpa Chixiao said that when he encountered the villains who robbed, he beat them down and then snatched all their things. While speaking, Xingluo walked to a few beggars, touched their broken clothes, patted them west, and after a while, he turned out some money, like when Chixiao forced him to endorse, he forced a few beggars to ask a few beggars, learned some about the situation of the 'Moon Underworld City', and then knocked a few people unconscious, took the money to a market on the east side of the city gate to change into old clothes, with a battle flag on his back, and entered the city gate under the watchful eyes of the guards.
According to the beggar, every 5 years in the city of the underworld, there will be an immortal of the underworld to choose someone with immortal roots.
Xingluo didn't expect to be able to meet the cultivators of the human world so soon, and after entering the city, he went directly to the outside of the martial arts training ground in the city according to the route that the beggar said.
The squares in the city were packed with people. There are both adults and children, and they should all come to test whether they have fairy roots.
Although he had learned a lot of things in the Netherworld Mountain, Xingluo had not started to cultivate, nor had he seen other Qi cultivators. Tianji told Xingluo that people who practice qi are different from ordinary people, and there is spiritual energy flowing in the body of a qi practitioner, which can be felt by Xingluo's spiritual sense.
Looking at the crowd of people in the square, Xingluo only felt that his head was big for a while, there were so many people, how could he tell the difference. In desperation, I can only wander around the crowd, listen to people's discussions, collect information first, and look at opportunities to act.
"I don't know how many people will be selected this year, but last year there were more than 40 people. ”
"There are a lot of children today, so I should be able to choose a lot. ”
"Eh, it's not just children, but in recent years there have been more martial artists than before. There should be more of it this year. ”
...........
"It's not, I don't know how this fairy was chosen, do you know, the nerd in the west of the city was selected last year, and he said that he was a good seedling. ”
"I didn't know, I saw with my own eyes, that nerd went to the test with a book in his hand, and fell on stage. ”
"No, how could the gods take a fancy to any nerd, I'm better than him. ”
"Hey, who knows, the fairy beasts that idiot just got into the ring kept barking, and as soon as he entered the circle on the stage, those fairy beasts rubbed against him, chattering and screaming, and the old immortals almost couldn't separate. ”
Xingluo listened to people's talk with his extraordinary hearing, and walked to a high ground in the distance only to see that there was also a primary scattered spirit town taught by Tianji on the ring, and there were several spirit beasts, it seemed that he wanted to amplify the fluctuations of the spirit root, cooperate with the spirit beast, and look for people with spirit roots.
Xing Luo sat down cross-legged directly on this high ground, and he probably knew the whole process, and he had told him in the Yin Underworld Mountain Heavenly Machine at the beginning.
Suddenly, a high-pitched bird call came, and I saw a few people flying to the square ring on a huge bird, which frightened the people to scatter for a while, and only after a while did they calm down.
An old man flattered several young underworld people and walked towards the table and chairs in the ring, and a young underworld in the center was handsome, and the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from his body far exceeded those of the others, so he should be the leader of this group of qi practitioners.
When a few people took their seats, a middle-aged underworld man who looked like a bookkeeper cleared his throat and announced loudly: "The five-year immortal fate test of the Sun Netherworld Sect has officially begun! This time it is the inner gate of the Sun Netherworld Sect that comes to our Moon Netherworld City, everyone must behave well in a while, if they can enter the Sun Netherworld Sect, it will be the pride of our Moon Netherworld, and in the future, they will be able to do anything." ”
After the middle-aged underworld finished speaking, he nervously looked at the city lord and the Chang Hades sitting above, and found that the other party was not unhappy because of his words, but just looked down at everyone in the audience with a blank face, so he put his heart down, and then said: "The children's test will be carried out first, and everyone will walk to the middle of the ring one by one in order. ”
The middle-aged underworld saw that the people of the Sun Hades Sect did not say anything, so he sat back next to him, nodded to the guards under the ring, and motioned for the guards to start releasing people into the ring.
Xingluo looked at everything in the ring carefully, although he had listened to Tianji's explanation, as well as the rote memorization in the Yin Underworld Mountain, but the cultivator who really came into contact with the human world, this was also the first time that the eldest girl had been on the sedan chair. So at the beginning of the test, Xingluo looked at it very seriously.
In the first half hour, all the children under the age of fourteen came to the stage, and at first glance they were the children of rich and noble families, dressed gorgeously, but only four of them caused the chirping of the spirit beast, and were recorded in the roster by the middle-aged underworld, standing on the side of the ring, and the rest of the more than 50 children did not attract the attention of the spirit beast, and got out of the ring with regret and loss.
The next children should be the children of ordinary residents, nearly 300 people, and only about 20 people were finally recorded on the roster.
The sky has gradually darkened, and everyone in the Sun Netherworld Sect is obviously a little impatient, because the child's test is very monotonous and tasteless, and there is not a single seedling who can move the spirit beast all day, obviously not very satisfied.
Chang Ying looked up at the sky and whispered a few words to the city lord. The city lord immediately called the middle-aged underworld to him, and after a few words, he beckoned a few people from the Sun Hades Sect to get up and leave.
After seeing everyone walk out of the ring, the test of the day was over, and the middle-aged underworld announced that it would continue at noon tomorrow and then trotted to catch up with the city lord and a few people, following behind.
With their departure, the people who watched the excitement in the square and those who had already tested also left, and the rest were those who had not yet taken the test and wanted to take a good position and test early tomorrow.
Xingluo didn't leave, he didn't have money to eat and live in the hotel. So why don't you stay here and listen to the talk and gather the information he wants to know.
