The city of Nine Zhuo is suspended in darkness.

A long white jade stone steps rise from the boundary road, all the way to the open gate of Jiuzhuo City, the white jade stone steps are built extremely luxurious, several miles wide, there are thousands of exquisite jade carvings on both sides, and between the white jade stone road, every few zhang, it is planted with neat tall flower trees, is swaying without wind, blowing off a place of pink flowers, the whole road is a fragrant smell, people can easily know that the city lord of Jiuzhuo City is not only rich, but also a very elegant character.

And the Nine Zhuo City itself is also made of white jade, flashing with a warm light in the dark, bounded by the city gate, and a relief carved on the city wall on both sides, Su Qi stared for a moment and found that this relief was actually two women, their bodies were similar to the human race, but the difference in appearance was very large, especially the pointed ears and the huge wings behind them, which proved that they were not human races.

The fine reliefs and the white jade city wall complement each other, setting off these two women very extraordinary, in Su Qi's opinion, they have a little fairy spirit, which shows that the carver's craftsmanship is extraordinary.

"Those two women should be born in the feather coat clan, known as the most beautiful race on the road, since the construction of Jiuzhuo City, their reliefs are engraved on the city wall, it is said that they are the favorite concubines of the city lord, but no one has ever seen them with their own eyes, as for the city lord, it has always been elusive, Jiuzhuo City is usually managed by several of his subordinates, he rarely made a few appearances, and he was also wrapped in a black robe, and he protected his body with aura, and he couldn't see his face clearly, which made many forces very curious about him, some people think that the city lord of Jiuzhuo should also be born in the feather coat clan, this statement is not unreasonable, because the feather coat clan is extremely xenophobic and never interracial marriage, he can accept two women of the feather coat clan as concubines at the same time, and there is almost no other possibility except that he is also a feather coat clan. ”

Anya changed into a wide robe, covering her wings behind her back, and the bare hair on the top of her head was tied up with a rope, and then wrapped in a soft cloth to make it strong, and her face was also veiled, and her hands were always shrunk in her sleeves.

Su Qi also did the same, covering himself up, but compared to Anya, his dress was much easier, just put away the Eight Desolation Sword, put on a gray robe common on the boundary road, and put on a black veil, which was enough to hide the identity of the human race.

See the world through the veil.

This feeling is quite strange, but in fact, it is only in the heart, for monks like Su Qi and Anya, the divine thought alone is enough to see everything in front of them.

The two began to step on the white jade stone steps, this stone step is three inches and three minutes high, according to Anya, three is a sacred number on the boundary road, in the concept of many races, three represents all things, is a symbol of living beings, this saying Su Qi is not unfamiliar, Tao gives birth to one, one life two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, in the view of Taoist cultivation, this begins with the Tao, and incarnates yin and yang into two, and these three refer to the harmony of yin and yang, which is the opportunity for the birth of all things.

Not long after leaving, Su Qi found that there was another mystery under the white jade steps, and a familiar and wonderful aura lingered under the white jade.

Anya laughed, "Noticed? This white jade is built on the bluestone, that is, the holy stone in our mouth, on the boundary road, only this kind of holy stone can be paved into the vast darkness, and only it can block the erosion of darkness, except for the secret place, everything must be based on the holy stone and build on it." Anya raised her finger and pointed at Jiuzhuo City, "Jiuzhuo City is no exception, don't look at it, it is full of white jade, crystal clear, it seems to be carved with a huge piece of white jade, but in fact, the white jade is refined on the holy stone, it is said that it was carved nine times during the construction before it became the crystal like it is now, so this city is called Jiuzhuo City." ”

Su Qi shook his head lightly and sighed, "Refining nine times? ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Anya breathed a sigh of relief, "We, the Noi tribe, have never had such a large amount of capital. ”

"There are a lot of people. ”

In front of the two of them, there were more than a dozen people walking briskly, all of whom were races that Su Qi didn't know.

"Because Jiuzhuo City has always been neutral, as long as they abide by their rules, anyone can come and go in Jiuzhuo City, so this has always been the first choice for many transactions, and the city lord of Jiuzhuo is very generous, don't take any tuke on these transactions, you must know that in other places, the city lord often draws one out of a hundred, or even one out of ten," Anya seemed to admire the city lord of Jiuzhuo, and there was a small yearning in her words, but then the tone of the conversation changed, and she said again, " However, because of this, Jiuzhuo City is regarded as a thorn in the side of many forces, and I heard that there are many people who secretly attack Jiuzhuo City, but they have not been able to cause any substantial damage to Jiuzhuo City, so the people on the boundary road are even more curious about the origin of the Jiuzhuo City Lord. ”

"Sounds like that. ”

"Of course, he is one of the most powerful people in the realm for thousands of years. ”

There are no guards in front of the city gate, the city gate is open, and you can see the streets and some buildings in the city at a glance, although these buildings are not as dense and prosperous as the human city, but there is also a unique style of boundary road, simple, unpretentious, with a little barren atmosphere.

Su Qi walked through the door and muttered, "You don't need to be guarded?" ”

Anya pointed to the top of her head, "There are major repairs on the city walls, and no one dares to make trouble here recently." ”

"And where are we going?"

Su Qi looked around, the ground in the city was also paved with white jade, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and most of the buildings on both sides were various shops and restaurants, although no one was selling, Su Qi still felt some of the fireworks of the human city more or less.

"And the restaurant?" Su Qi was a little moved, and he didn't know what the wine on the boundary road tasted like, he had only drunk the wine of the Nuoi tribe until now, to be honest, the taste was really not good.

"I'll go later," Anya glared at him, "and I'll find an auction house first." ”

"Which way?"

On the left and right sides of Su Qi, there is a fork in the road, and the avenue in front of him runs through the whole city, and you can see the city gate at the other end of the city at a glance.

"I think it's on the left," Anya thought for a moment, "it's an auction house called Eleven." ”

Su Qi raised his eyebrows, "Eleven, what a strange name." ”

"Because there are eleven masters behind them. ”

A gentle voice sounded behind them, and Su Qi and Anya quickly turned around.

It was a firstborn man with two silver horns.

He bowed down very politely, "Coincidentally, it is one of the main affairs of the Eleventh Auction House, if the two of you don't mind, you can lead the way for the two distinguished guests." ”
