Chapter Forty-Four: Half of the Flying Wall
Few people can tell the history of the desert with certainty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoEven if it is such a towering giant city, it is impossible to verify its true founders, and the year in which it was built.
People just enjoy the heritage and don't care much about its history. The current life alone is enough to keep me busy, and I don't care about some inconsequential things.
Except for some pedantic old pedants, there is no hope of entering the next realm in this life, there are no offspring, and there is no need to worry about anything. In the last days of life, I will study some strange things, which can be regarded as the last use of life.
For thousands of years, since the discovery of this city, there have been countless old scholars of one kind or another, studying every brick and every page here, but never researching any way. At most, he got a few words from the remaining stone tablets, and he couldn't figure out what he was talking about for the rest of his life.
However, it is true that this city can withstand the storm of sand, and no matter how much the ghost sandfish are surging, they will not jump into the city. The city is also a great haven for the countless people who walk in the desert.
As for why the city was able to withstand the violent burials of the sand, no one knows. In fact, most people don't know anything about the city other than the three bold characters on the walls.
This city is called Feihuang City.
Wang Shi raised his head slightly, saw the three big characters on the city wall, and was a little distracted.
These three words can't be said to be such exquisite and good words, and after the destruction of the wind and sand, they are already somewhat mutilated, there is really nothing to look at, only the role of informers. But Wang Shi felt that these three seemed to be able to really fly, just like you know that butterflies can fly when you see them.
Ning Yi had already walked a long way, looked back at him, and said, "Hey, let's go!"
Wang Shi could only smile and keep up with Ning Yi's steps.
After paying a high fee, the two entered the city. It can't be said how expensive this entry fee is, compared to the same fate, this spirit stone is really insignificant. But it also proves that there is a ruler in the city who will set up this kind of fee requirement.
It's full of bustling people, it's not like the bustle of the mortal world, there are all kinds of juggling, buying and selling, there are all practitioners here, but there are a few shops, and they are all about cultivation.
Naturally, everyone in a place with a lot of people has one thing in common, that is, there will be countless people selling local specialties.
Rubble, jewelry, strange stones...... And so on, dazzling, under the clever tongue of the traders, people believe that this is the representative thing of Feihuang City, and think that buying is earning.
They are all people who walk on the tip of a knife, and they are not really stupid enough to be deceived. But when you first come to a place, you always have to buy something. Something is undoubtedly a great way to get to know a place.
I don't know what Ning Yi thinks, everything is like a flowery thing, and it looks like it's stuck in it, and it can't be pulled out at all, so you have to buy it.
To be a trader, the most important thing is to have eyesight. As soon as these people saw a customer like Ning Yi, they naturally used all their tricks to talk about their things and hook the customer's heart firmly.
It's a pity that Ning Yi has no money.
When Ning looked at Wang Shi with a blank look, Wang Shi just looked elsewhere and didn't pick up Ning Yi's gaze.
Being cheated by someone is something that Wang Shi can't accept. What's more, after robbing in the cottage for so long, Wang Shi has long been extremely domineering, and he will not enter these obvious pits at all.
After seeing a piece of moon stone to buy a seat, Ning Yi firmly believed that Wang Shi was definitely bulging in his pocket, but at this time, he did not borrow money, and Ning Yi's heart was inexplicably full of anger.
In fact, this doesn't make sense, it's obvious that Ning Yi ate Wang Shi and drank Wang Shi, and now he still wants to borrow money from him, but it's really unreasonable to be full of anger if he doesn't borrow it.
But this kind of unreasonable thing just happens. If everything in this world makes sense, half of people's happiness will disappear, which is really boring.
After walking for a long time, after glancing at Ning Yi, who was extremely depressed behind him, Wang Shi could only shake his head helplessly, came to a shop, picked out all the things on the table, bought them at one-tenth of the price, and then threw them to Ning Yi.
The mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of people are short, Ning Yi immediately smiled and honestly followed behind Wang Shi.
After taking a general look at the situation here, Wang Shi took Ning Yi to a restaurant.
Opening a restaurant in the desert is not a common thing. Not to mention that the transportation of food is a big expense, the mere fact that no one comes to eat is a big problem, and a dish will be frighteningly expensive.
Not many cultivators are willing to take out their spirit stones to buy something to satisfy their cravings. Not everyone is a crazy bandit like Wang Shi, who has robbed countless spirit stones and spirit weapons. In fact, there are not many cultivators who are willing to eat, and they can use their spiritual power to supply themselves, and they haven't eaten for many years.
Some leisurely entered this restaurant, and immediately Xiao Er came to entertain him. Before Wang Shi could speak, Ning Yi preemptively said, "You have all the signature dishes here." ā
Xiao Er's face immediately smiled brightly, such a big customer rarely came, and quickly nodded and said, "Okay, two masters, do you still need any tea?"
After being a little stunned, he glanced at Ning Yi, and Wang Shi said, "Let's have a pot of wine." ā
"What kind of wine do you want? We have barley wine, yellow vine wine, wine ...... here."
"The fiercest. ā
Xiao Er smiled: "This master is really refreshing." ā
Ning Yi looked at Wang Shi and hurriedly said, "I want a pot of tea, with sugar." ā
After asking and understanding, Xiao Er immediately ran back and handed over this big business to the shopkeeper. After receiving the notice, more than a dozen people in the back kitchen immediately got busy, which was a big busyness that could not be encountered for months, or even years.
After a while, a total of eighteen dishes were all served, and a large table was full.
Ning had already started early in the morning, and he began to eat, for fear that Wang Shi would be like him, and he kept stuffing his mouth full, and his two hands were never free, and he kept grabbing the vegetables.
Seeing Ning Yi's appearance of eating, some didn't know what to say, and even forgot to wash his face, Wang Shi could only pour a glass of wine and taste it carefully.
used to drink with my eldest brother all day long, and the amount of alcohol was okay, at least two or three jars of wine couldn't pour him. But when this mouthful of wine was somewhat cloudy, the entire chest immediately ignited like a fire, and suddenly rushed into his brain.
It's like a red-hot knife, pierced in all of a sudden, it can't be said to be painful, it can only be as hot as pain.
This wine is definitely the strongest wine Wang Shi has ever drunk.
After taking a sip, Wang Shi slowly reminisced about this strong feeling, and when the fire in his chest subsided, he tasted it again.
In this way, Ning Yi was eating with a sullen head, and Wang Shi was sullen and tasted the wine, tasting the afterglow after the fire.
When Wang Shi drank a pot of wine, he found that Ning Yi had eaten almost eighteen dishes, and was now lying on a chair, gently rubbing his stomach. Looking at Ning Yi's appearance, eighty percent of them have to stay here for half a day to be more comfortable, and walking is definitely not good.
Wang Shi could only taste a few bites of the dish and thought it was pretty good. After all, it is a person who has tasted Tang Tian's craftsmanship, and the dishes here are not quite eye-catching.
"You're here for a while, and I'll go out and have a look?"
Ning Yi burped and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Just walk around and ask about something. ā
Ning Yi waved his hand a little weakly and said, "Go, go, I'll wait for you here." ā
"You digest it. After saying that, Wang Shi got up and left.
Ning Yi hurriedly said: "Remember to come back earlier, the account hasn't been settled yet, remember to come back and redeem me!"
......
After a few turns in Feihuang City, he found a shop that bought and sold spiritual weapons, Wang Shi went in and sold a robbed spiritual weapon, and followed the buyer to inquire about the situation of this Feihuang City. Seeing that Wang Shi took out a first-grade virtual spirit weapon, the shopkeeper was also polite, and he said everything knowingly.
After having a general understanding of the city, Wang Shi returned to the restaurant, settled the account, and ransomed Ning Yi. The restaurant didn't worry that the two of them would run away and pay off the bills, and after Wang Shi left, they still entertained Ning Yi well.
It's just that this last bill, even the wealthy Wang Shi was a little dumbfounded, and he actually ate three thousand spirit stones in just one meal. Although he was a little stunned, after Xiao Er's explanation, Wang Shi could only accept it calmly. After all, this is the desert, not the outside.
Three thousand spirit stones can be said to be all the belongings to others, but for Wang Shi, it is not so bad as to break the bones.
After learning the final bill, Ning Yi almost jumped, but he could only follow behind Wang Shi with some trepidation, and he was responsible for all this.
didn't say anything about Ning Yi, Wang Shi still looked like before, and walked towards a place in the city. And Ning Yi could only follow cautiously, like a child who had made a mistake.
Came to the foot of Feihuang City and entered a place that resembled a temple. This is the place where the shopkeeper inquired about it, and it is an ancient building open to the outside world in Feihuang City. The rest of the good buildings were divided among the three major forces that controlled the city.
Obviously, it was the same building as the city walls, but most of it had collapsed, leaving only a few broken bricks. Although the place is large, not many people come here to visit.
After all, it is not a place where you can attain enlightenment and ascend to immortality, and it has been turned over countless times a long time ago, and there is no residual value, and busy cultivators have no feelings to visit here.
Wang Shi walked in slowly with Ning Yi, looking at this place carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual. It's just some rock-carved buildings, not very gorgeous, just very simple.
Even if he walked to the innermost, Wang Shi stood quietly, and Ning Yi also stood quietly behind him.
The house was half broken, and the light became wisps, shining through the floating dust into the room, on the murals in the room.
There were no sculptures, only a stone wall, the same material as the city wall, which was incomplete, only a corner remained, and there were countless cracks.
There are paintings on the stone walls, and you can see that they are all bright colors, but the years have worn away the brightness and erosion, leaving only this dim silence.
However, the lines remain intact and maintain their original curvature.
There are no sharp corners, only gentle arcs.
These soft lines, like beautiful women, seem to tell some beautiful legends.
In this mural, only half of a woman's body remains, as if she is flying, and the ribbons around her dance like butterflies.
Whether it is the fluttering clothes or the slender fingers, they are all very delicately drawn, very smart, and ready to come out. Coupled with the light and shadow projected and the floating dust, it makes people feel that if the mural is complete, the people inside will really fly immediately.
Even though it is only a mutilated half of the mural, it is also extremely beautiful, and it is really hard to imagine how shocking it would be if the entire mural came out.
As if something had moved, Wang Shi looked away and lowered his head slightly.
