Chapter 336: The City That Never Sleeps
(In order to thank you for your perseverance in Lao Lu, this chapter is especially free!)
Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as Lu Liang finished his night cultivation, Zhao Yunhai, who was full of spring breeze, came to the door.
With Lao Bai and Wen Xiaojing's previous reminders, Lu Liang was also secretly wary of this sincere brother, but there was no malice, just necessary caution.
"Lu Daoyou, but you're going to the Tianmeng branch today?" Zhao Yunhai clenched his fists, took out a cyan jade talisman from his arms, and handed it to Lu Liang very naturally, "I know the shopkeeper of the Li family's shop in the city that never sleeps, with this token, you can taste a 'fairy drunk' brewed by his family! That is a superb aging wine that cannot be bought by a thousand daughters unless there is a token!"
Lu Liang was stunned and said: "I plan to go over today, but the city that never sleeps is ...... that Zhao Daoyou said."
"Ah, Lu Daoyou doesn't know that the city that never sleeps?!" Zhao Yunhai showed an incredible look at this time.
"Oh, the city that never sleeps...... This is actually the location of the city that never sleeps back then! Interesting!" Lao Bai's voice revealed an intriguing tone.
"Hmm...... Forget it, it's good. Wen Xiaojing's tone was also a little complicated, she seemed to be a little hesitant, and she seemed to be a little expectant.
Lu Liang didn't understand the specifics, so he still asked: "In the lower beginning of the Heavenly Realm, I really don't know what this sleepless city is, I hope Zhao Daoyou will give me some advice." ”
"No problem!" Zhao Yunhai patted his chest and said, "The city that never sleeps, but it is a good place with a reputation in the Nuwa space......
In the following three incense sticks, under Zhao Yunhai's description, Lu Liang was sometimes surprised, sometimes sighed, and a city that never sleeped resounded in all directions came into his sight......
The city that never sleeps, the specific name is no longer recallable. It is said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, a supreme power named Liudao Immortal was built.
The biggest feature of this city is that whoever enters, no matter how they cultivate, will all turn into complete mortals!
Inside it is the mundane world of all kinds of things, and since the day of its establishment, it has become a paradise holy place for immortal cultivators from all walks of life. It is said that as long as you are in it, you will forget all the troubles of the immortal cultivation world.
Of course, there will be right and wrong when there are too many people, but in the city that never sleeps, you can quarrel and fight, but you can't make a fuss. And the most interesting thing is that there is no human life at all, because once someone dies, their soul will automatically be sucked into a secret space that merges with heaven and earth, and will be reborn again in the same way a day.
And the murderer, while being teleported out by the power of the Great Dao in the city, was engraved with a mark that would never be entered.
Finally, the city has an amazing feature in that after twelve hours from the time of entering the gate, anyone who is not the original inhabitant is forcibly teleported out of the city and cannot enter it again for ten years. This, combined with the unending sense of temptation, is a place that many people will not want to return to, even the most powerful.
"Six Immortals...... What an extremely powerful ......" It was not the first time that Lu Liang had heard of this person's prestige, because since the mouth of the Primal Divine Ancestor, he had already known that this was the Six Dao Divine Emperor who was known as the "No. 1 Thinker of the Holy Clan Space" back then.
"Although this place is not a necessary place to go to the Tianmeng branch, since you are passing by, please Lu Daoyou must go and feel it!" Zhao Yunhai said sincerely.
"Understood! Since Zhao Daoyou warmly recommended it, then I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful!" Lu Liang agreed very happily, but he actually didn't want to go in his heart, anyway, unless the other party followed him, he didn't have the final say?
After that, Zhao Yunhai said goodbye and left, and Lu Liang didn't delay here, and when he got out of Qingling Pavilion, he flew towards the edge of Qingfeng Country.
"Lu Liang, I'm ...... Want to go to the city that never sleeps...... Is it okay?" This was the first time Wen Xiaojing made a similar request, which made Lu Liang stunned for a moment, and then nodded subconsciously.
"Yes, but, is there a reason?" Lu Liang asked curiously.
"I just want to feel my pure self......" Wen Xiaojing's voice was very soft, and she stopped saying anything when she said this.
Yes, it's this kind of headless answer again. Although they have been together for a short time, Lu Liang has completely adapted to the other party's style.
As for how to get to the city that never sleeps, even if he didn't know it before, he completely understood it during the flight, no wonder Zhao Yunhai didn't mention it, it turned out that it was almost impossible to know how to go.
Because as Lu Liang flew all the way forward, the number of immortal cultivators also increased, and just from the words they talked about and the direction they were traveling, they could completely judge the specific location of the city that never sleeps.
Lu Liang was not in a hurry, he slowly followed behind more and more immortal cultivators, and half an hour later, he landed in front of a dazzling water-blue city wall.
When he approached the city gate, a strange sense of restraint swept through his body, whether it was the Chaos Divine Beast, the Spirit Devouring Worm or the Great Mushroom, all of them lost their connection with their divine souls. At the same time, Wen Xiaojing, who was dressed in a yellow palace dress, also appeared, and the veil on her face disappeared at some point, revealing an outstanding appearance that amazed the Quartet.
"No mana is valid here, except for those who have long been fused with your soul, outsiders like me must be manifested. Now that you're here, let's go!" At this time, Wen Xiaojing had an unprecedented excitement in her eyes, and she didn't care about Lu Liang, she rushed directly into the bustling city gate.
"This ...... Is she the same person as before?" Wen Xiaojing's previous impression of Lu Liang was that she was "calm", "intelligent", "very calm", etc., which can set off a deep character beyond her age, but what she saw at this moment turned out to be a cheerful girl who matched her appearance, so that he didn't know which one was the real character of this girl.
Chasing Wen Xiaojing into the city, Lu Liang couldn't help but be stunned, because at this time on the streets in the afternoon, although there were already many people hanging out, but the existence of similar shops on both sides, most of them were closed doors and windows, and it was rare that the houses that had been opened were also hung with the sign of "Thank You", except for the limited manpower of cleaning, I couldn't see anything outstanding.
"It's early for us to come, but wait another hour, and you'll know why this place is called 'The City That Never Sleeps'!" Wen Xiaojing has been looking here and there with great interest since she entered the city, even if the houses are being cleaned, as long as the people inside are not stopped, she will go in and walk around.
Due to the failure of Wen Xiaojing's veil, her already fresh and beautiful appearance, combined with the brilliance of her bright eyes, directly became the most eye-catching beauty that attracted all the male immortal cultivators present, so that Lu Liang, who was following her, actually felt ashamed of herself for the first time......
Along the way, decorations such as "flowers stuck in cow dung" made his ears grind out calluses. Especially in the back, there were even immortal cultivators who came over to talk to each other. Wen Xiaojing simply pulled Lu Liang's arm and leaned her little head on her shoulder, looking like a little bird, which also meant that she already had a master!
"You're pulling hatred for me......" Lu Liang's facial muscles twitched, feeling the more and more envious, jealous, hateful and hostile eyes around him, and he could only sigh lightly, but he happily played the role of a flower messenger.
I don't know if it's because his mood is happy, or if this forced mortal city has a degrading effect that even contributes to the Dao heart, Lu Liang seems to have returned to the carefree childhood when he was in the Four Seasons Village.
Unconsciously, when the sun was setting, when the whole city fell into a hazy darkness, a distant bell rang slowly, accompanied by a voice that seemed to be a small shout: "Welcome to the city that never sleeps!" Here, let us forget all kinds of troubles in the world of cultivating immortals and enjoy this rare sleepless night!"
As the sound dissipated, the city that was originally in a dim state was instantly lit up, and all the originally closed houses on both sides of the street were opened, and in an instant, the originally empty street was already full of dazzling shops of all kinds, and countless stalls appeared one after another, selling food and drink, juggling, and singing and talking about Allegro...... It was only at this time that the concept of "City That Never Sleeps" really penetrated into Lu Liang's heart.
"I want to eat marshmallows!" Wen Xiaojing pulled Lu Liang and rushed out diagonally to the right side.
"Hey, hey...... I'll go over and squeeze, you wait!" Looking at the crowd in front of him, Lu Liang was embarrassed to let a little girl fight by herself, although the Eucharistic Technique had completely lost its effectiveness here, but the strong arms that he had already practiced were still squeezed in after three times five divided by two.
When he came out with two big marshmallows in his hand, Wen Xiaojing rushed over as soon as possible, took one and took a big bite of it, looked at it with a smile and bent his eyes, and then recalled the feeling when the two first met, this huge gap really made it hard for Lu Liang to believe that such a different personality could appear in a person.
But soon, this awkward idea was left behind by Lu Liang, and when Wen Xiaojing ran to a crowded kebab stall again, he also completely let go of his feelings and devoted himself to the joy of reminiscing about his childhood.
The two of them walked all the way to eat all the way, and met someone who sold gadgets, as long as Wen Xiaojing was interested, Lu Liang simply bought it without even asking the price, anyway, the requirements for currency here are very relaxed, secular gold and silver coins are okay, and the Yuan Shi of the immortal cultivation world is also okay. In this regard, he is definitely at the level of a regal man.
"Xiaojing, I remember when we first met, you didn't seem to be ......" An hour later, when the two came to a relatively quiet hill to rest, looking at Wen Xiaojing, who was staring at the moonlight and her eyes were full of bright colors, Lu Liang asked this question that had already been held back from internal injuries.
"Do you believe in the existence of reincarnation?" Wen Xiaojing didn't look at him, still looking at the moon quietly, and then said softly, "I am the 'inheritance body' in the special physique, and in my body, there are actually three powerful divine soul essences of the ancestors of the Wen family. It not only covers the powerful exercises of the immortal world, but also the essence of experience that spans hundreds of thousands of years...... Only here, their thinking will not sway me, and I am also the real Wen Xiaojing......"
In the end, although she kept looking up at the moon, two lines of tears began to flow down her cheeks in her eyes......
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before. Lu Liang's eyes froze, and until this time, he suddenly realized the obscure meaning of Wen Xiaojing or Lao Bai before, and he wanted to stop talking......
This feeling is no stranger to Lu Liang. To this day, what he still remembers is that the moment the demon soul awakens in the Void Divine Realm, the feeling of hundreds of years of vicissitudes hits in an instant, and since then, it is only a happy time for ordinary children in Four Seasons Village, and it is gone forever. What is entrenched in his own thoughts is the tragic past of his family and his deep hatred for the Blood God Cult......
Fortunately, the demon soul is also himself, and with his own chances, coupled with the help of nobles or divine beasts from time to time in his life, although the simplicity of childhood is gone, he also feels free and easy, and now he has even condensed the immortal Dao heart.
But Wen Xiaojing's situation is much more serious than this, it is three supreme powers, maybe she can make her a dragon and phoenix among people, but if she is only a girl in the prime of her life...... I can only say that some of them are too cruel......
"Let's go, the happiness of the city that never sleeps is not over yet!" Lu Liang suddenly got up, pulled up Wen Xiaojing, who was looking at him, and said with a gleam in his eyes, "I don't care if you were controlled by your elders before, then at least at this moment, you are the most authentic Wen Xiaojing!"
Wen Xiaojing followed behind Lu Liang in a daze, and the tears that had been stagnant began to moisten her eyes again, but she then wiped her sleeve with a relieved smile, and instead accelerated and rushed forward.
Lu Liang was also stunned, then laughed loudly, and followed the bustling street without being left behind.
A girl who is supposed to be full of moisture, has been imposed with experience far beyond her own knowledge, and will be swayed by the thinking of three powerful people from time to time, maybe her strength and ability are very strong, but it is definitely not how happy she is.
The city that never sleeps, perhaps only this place, is one of the few places where it can bloom in its original glory.
For the next two hours, the whole street reverberated with the unbridled laughter of the two men, and when they chose a place to rest in the moon-gazing place again, they had almost lost the strength to sit, and lay down on the grass side by side, breathing in the rare worldly air.
"Thank you......" When Wen Xiaojing's soft voice came from his ears, Lu Liang turned his head and met the little girl's talking eyes......
Just when Lu Liang's mind was a little far away, Wen Xiaojing, who was still looking forward to the brilliance before, suddenly sat up with a fierce son, the soft light in his eyes disappeared, turned into an unprecedented color, and said in a deep voice: "Unexpectedly...... We're in big trouble!"
Lu Liang also hurriedly got up, and was about to ask something, but his brows were already furrowed, because he suddenly felt that although the surrounding area was still the unique mundane atmosphere of the city that never sleeps, in the dark, a kind of death qi was actually wafting in!
"This kind of place...... Can you do it?" Lu Liang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and felt the surrounding environment.
"You don't have to look for it, the result is your death anyway. "A man in black, at this time, fell from the top of a tree ten zhang away, look at this skill, placed in the secular world, should be an absolute martial arts master, "Don't think that with the breath of the reincarnation well of the six immortals, you can't die!
(PS: Originally, Lao Lu could take a break two days before he came back, but because I saw Fa Xiao'er, who had been absent for nearly five years, we not only chatted all night, but also put on a variety of big drinks that combined Chinese and Western styles......
Me: Am I, drinking or playing with my life?
Fa Xiao'er: When was the last time we met?
And then...... No, we both drank dead and alive......
Between men, if you speak hazy, you will understand, it's as simple as that!
Maybe in a few years, we can still get together, but such silly nights may be gone forever...... )
