Chapter 0649: The Chu Brothers
The emberfire city is not far from the small stone alley, and it is dozens of miles to the north, but it is said to be a city, in fact, it is more like a large fortress, the top of the city is sealed by a huge white stone, the surface is very smooth, it looks like an inverted basin from a distance, but there are nine high protrusions on it, arranged in an arc, the shape of the bulge is similar to the tower, but there are no cornices or doors and windows, and the arched dome is carved with formations, this formation has been activated, so that the embered city is also shining in the dark, like a moon falling on the stone slabγ
This city originally did not belong here, it was pulled from the void to the northern region by the half-emperor after the attack of the black beast, the history of the city is extremely long, it is said that as early as hundreds of thousands of years ago, this city stood in the core of the boundary road, in the long years many times changed hands, even its earliest owner has disappeared in the years, has been completely unverified, this city has also had a very glorious history in the past, in the turbulent and strife era, the embern city is known as the fortress that even the half-emperor can not break, sheltering a group of people of the realm, and now, the controller of the embern city is one of the four major sects of the All Saints Pavilion, in this front-line land, the All Saints Pavilion is also the largest forceγ
The city lies above the boundary road.
A cyan stone road slowly rises from the boundary road, leading to the city gate, the slope is not steep, standing below you can see a corner of the heavy city bottom, you can also see a little scenery in the city, the distance boundary road is chaotic, the light is lost, the dark depth makes people instinctively afraid, not to mention the dangerous smell of danger from the darkness, any monk will feel ominous when he smells it.
The city gate was wide open, and there were many monks coming and going, and outside the city gate were stationed two great cultivators who were sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, wearing the robes of the Pavilion of All Saints, with similar appearances, their eyes closed, motionless, and the monks nearby were also very interested not to disturb them, and often lowered their voices when passing by, and did not dare to speak loudly.
Su Qi heard their names when he was in Xiaoshi Lane, these two are brothers, one is called Chu Hong, the other is called Chu Guang, they are the core disciples of the All Saints Pavilion five hundred years ago, the relationship between the two is very good, they almost eat and live together, and their cultivation is also flying all the way, but what makes Su Qi even more interesting is the legend of the two of them.
The reputation of these two people on the boundary road is not good, and it is said that they have a strange and bad temper, and often fight when they disagree, and these two people never care about their identities, and things that bully small things happen from time to time, so the monks who come and go will be very low-key, for fear that one will accidentally anger the two bigwigs, and it is still a trivial matter to be scolded by them, if they are disgusted and thrown into the prison of Ember City, it will be a tragedy that outweighs the loss.
However, this is not what Su Qi is curious about, what really interests Su Qi is that it is said that the brothers of the Chu family once entered the forbidden road, although the brothers said that they did not go deep, but after all, they also broke into it in full view of everyone, and stayed in it for seven days before coming back, this kind of courage is no longer within the reach of ordinary monks.
Of course, to a certain extent, this incident made the monks even more jealous of the Chu brothers.
Those who dare to break into the forbidden road and come out alive are all madmen who are not afraid of death!
Xu was Su Qi staring at it for too long, and one of the brothers opened his eyes and stared at Su Qi with indifferent eyes, "What are you looking at?"
Seeing the Chu family brothers speak, the surrounding monks were shocked and ran away in an instant, leaving only Su Qi alone.
The voice is quite good, Su Qi thought that these two people would be the kind of people with hoarse and fierce voices, but he didn't expect that the voice that opened his mouth was thick and magnetic.
I don't know if he is Chu Hong or Chu Guang.
"I've heard a lot of stories from the two seniors, so I'm a little curious. Su Qi told the truth.
"Which stories?"
Another Chu family brother also opened his eyes, but he didn't speak, just glanced at Su Qi, his gaze stayed on the sword behind Su Qi's back for a moment, and then placed it on the wine gourd on Su Qi's waist.
"The one where the two seniors went to the forbidden road. β
"Are you interested in forbidden roads?"
"Of course. Su Qi nodded, "If you have the opportunity, I would like to go in and have a look." β31
The Chu brothers were obviously a little surprised, the two looked at each other, and the one who opened their eyes suddenly spoke, "Boy, lend me your wine gourd." β
This one's voice is also very magnetic.
"Look?" Su Qi was stunned, and then pursed his lips, what's so good about the wine gourd?
"What, you're afraid I'll rob you of your wine?" he glared, and finally had a fierce look.
"Of course seniors wouldn't do that," Su Qi smiled, untied the gourd, and handed it over respectfully, "Here you go." β
"I'm Chu Guang," Chu Guang took the gourd and pointed to Chu Hong on the other side, "He's my brother." β
"Junior Su Qi. β
"Little guy, are you a barbarian?" Chu Hong asked.
"It doesn't count or not, I didn't grow up in a barbarian tribe since I was a child. Su Qi turned his head, it was really a bit troublesome to talk to the two of them at the same time, and he hadn't figured out why the Chu brothers suddenly accosted him.
A gurgling sound came from beside him, and Su Qi turned around abruptly to find that Chu Guang was tilting his head up, gulping down his wine.
Su Qi was shocked, "Senior, didn't you say you wouldn't rob it?"
Chu Guang put down the gourd, wiped his mouth, and threw the gourd to Chu Hong, he smiled slightly, "Where did I rob it?" Didn't you hand me the gourd yourself?"
Su Qi was dumbfounded, is this okay?
"The wine is good, it's the one in the small stone alley, right?" Chu Guang licked the corners of his mouth, "I drank it once more than ten years ago, and I have always remembered it, that shopkeeper has no cultivation talent, but he has a very good set of winemaking, and today can be regarded as satisfying his cravings, for the sake of this wine......" Chu Guang took out a wooden card from his body, threw it to Su Qi, and said loudly, "This is the identity token of my All Saints Pavilion, I will lend it to you for the time being, if you encounter something in the Ember City, you can also report the names of my two brothers!" Whoever doesn't give face, our brother will come to settle the account!"
Su Qi blinked, and before he could understand the ins and outs of the matter, Chu Hong over there threw the wine gourd back.
"Let's go into the city, there are a lot of people waiting in the back. β
Su Qi looked back and saw that under the long stone steps at the gate of the city, there were many monks gathered, who were looking at him with a look of surprise, obviously wondering where he came from, and there were also many people in the Ember City standing at the door, carefully waiting for Su Qi and the three of them to finish talking, and they didn't dare to come out at all.
The notoriety of this Chu family brother is really very strong.
Su Qi glanced at the Chu family brothers who closed their eyes again, shook his head, and walked towards the city, the nearby monks quickly dodged and looked at Su Qi with a very strange look.
Su Qi sighed, having a premonition of misfortune, his name was probably going to spread all over this Ember Fire City soon.
