Chapter 223: The Ancient City of Wild Sands
In the silent twilight, the desert was stained with warm orange glow, and a breeze drifted in the distance, and the wind brought out the rustling of footsteps. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A tall black figure stepped on the setting sunset, slowly from far to near.
It was a young cultivator wearing a hat, a black suit, and a long sword on his back, with a long gray scarf loosely wrapped around his neck.
A half-abandoned ancient city slowly appeared before his eyes.
In the corner of the ancient city gate covered with yellow sand, half of the stone tablet buried in the sand and dust reveals the four characters of "Wild Sand Ancient City" with teeth and claws.
The young cultivator raised his eyebrows and slowly stepped in, the moment he stepped into the ancient city, the sparse lights came into view, and the eyes of the wolf and tiger in the dark came in an instant.
The cultivator turned a blind eye and calmly raised his steps, and as soon as he took a step, he felt the changes in the ground under his feet.
In the ancient city, the ground is black stone slabs, and the first feeling of stepping on it is cold and hard, but the feeling of stepping on the second foot is strangely soft and loose, and the ground seems to suddenly become a slow surging quicksand.
But under the gaze of people, the ground is still a solid layer of unchanging black slate.
"Huh. ”
At this inexplicable situation, the young cultivator chuckled meaninglessly.
Suddenly, a strong wind struck, and the hat above the cultivator's head shook instantly, almost falling.
The cultivator stretched out an arm in time, grabbed the hat, and fastened it firmly above his head.
Under the strict cover of that arm, there was a cold and handsome face, expressionless, and his eyes were as deep as night, it was Lu Zheng who went out to practice alone.
Lu Zheng closed his eyes, shook off the hard sand particles on his eyelashes, and instead pulled up the scarf around his neck, covering his mouth and nose, and covering half of his face.
Immediately, as if nothing had happened, he walked into a dilapidated inn closest to the ancient city gate.
Although the inn is small, it is full of organs. The first floor is for the tavern business, and the second and third floors are for lodging rooms.
On the walls around the hall on the first floor, there are dense pieces of paper, some of which are current affairs gossip, some are portraits of celebrities, and some are sect tasks issued by individual sects and forces.
In front of these papers, dozens of cultivators gathered around to take a closer look, and exchanged heads and ears.
There were also more than a dozen cultivators sitting in all corners of the hall, eating and drinking, chatting and farticiating.
Lu Zheng glanced around casually, hooked his lips and smiled, pressed the hat above his head, and walked to the shopkeeper who was dozing off behind the counter.
"An ordinary room, a meal, delivered to my room?"
The cold voice that suddenly sounded in his ears made the shopkeeper's whole body tremble, and his mind was instantly clear.
As soon as he looked at the person, obediently, he covered everything, revealing a pair of dark eyes without waves, and carrying a long sword on his back. This kind of dressing is either pretending to be forced, or it is unsightly, and it is not easy to mess with. With many years of experience in the shopkeepers, he intuitively felt that Lu Zheng belonged to the latter.
But fright is fright, and the necessary procedures still have to go.
The shopkeeper cautiously spoke: "Look at the guest officer, it should be the first time to go to the ancient city of Wild Sand, right? Our realm is relatively special, dragons and snakes are mixed, and people disappear carelessly every day, so the city lord has an order, but all outsiders who stay in the inn must register their names." I don't know what your name is, officer?"
"Lu Shan. The bizarre land, the mountains of great rivers and mountains. ”
Seeing Lu Zheng's unexpectedly good speech, the shopkeeper immediately relaxed a lot, and took out a white jade plate, put it on the counter, and said to Lu Zheng: "This is a true jade, the guest officer will drop a drop of essence blood into your fingertips, and at the same time say your name, this jade card can test whether what you said is true." ”
Authentic jade, essence and blood, facts, living in a dilapidated inn, can you use these many rules?
Lu Zheng frowned, his fingers didn't stretch out for a long time, and the shopkeeper laughed awkwardly and urged.
At this moment, Lu Zheng heard a few playful chuckles on the side, and then glanced at it, on the counter, there was an open check-in record book, with various notes on it, it was true that every guest who checked in had a name on the record, but after this name, only a few of them marked the word "tested" with a red pen.
"Huh. ”
With a move in his mind, Lu Zheng sneered, knowing that he was fooled by this innkeeper who saw people and talked about people.
Perhaps, there are indeed many rules in the ancient city of Wild Sand, but these rules are not mandatory, and there are very few outsiders who are willing to abide by them.
"Guest officer, you see that it is not too early this day, so you should hurry up and ......"
The shopkeeper's words came to an abrupt end.
I saw Lu Zheng raise his eyes faintly and slowly stare at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stared at by the pair of emotionless eyes, and his whole body was shocked again, and he couldn't help but shiver.
Lu Zheng slowly stretched out his hand, and the shopkeeper immediately screamed and squatted down, but saw that Lu Zheng just picked up a black pen and wrote the word "Lu Shan" on the check-in record.
"Eat and deliver within two quarters of an hour. ”
After that, Lu Zheng didn't care which room upstairs was empty, so he went straight upstairs and picked a room at random, which was exactly where no one lived.
In the hall on the first floor, several people glanced at each other and quietly handed each other a "this guy is not easy to mess with" look.
Early the next morning, when the first rays of morning light had just shone into the slightly open window, Lu Zheng, who was meditating with his eyes closed on the simple couch, opened a pair of dark eyes on time.
In this pair of eyes, compared with the past, there was some deep indifference and blood, but after Lu Zheng's blink, all emotions disappeared one by one, leaving only dark and waveless eyes like a dark night.
In the blink of an eye, he had left Zhengrong Peak alone for half a year.
In this small half a year, Lu Zheng has walked through thousands of rivers and mountains, at first, because of carelessness, he never covered his face and disguised, and was surrounded and killed by many people, some deliberately approached under the guise of friendship, some held masks that did not fight and did not know each other, and some pretended to be unaware of passers-by. But as soon as they turned around, these people revealed their ugly true colors, and they were all chasers deliberately arranged by Min Yun.
It turned out that Min Yun didn't do much on the surface, but secretly he had already sent someone to squat on the Zhengrong Peak, and when he saw him going out of the mountain alone, he immediately sent someone to follow, following him all the way, making various opportunities in a vain attempt to assassinate.
There are not so many fates in this world for no reason, except that they really came to see each other in the past life and this life, most of them have some kind of purpose, otherwise where can there be so many coincidences?
In his previous life, whether he was destined or not, Lu Zheng, who had been stabbed and slapped all the way, no longer had the energy to judge, rather than being accidentally stabbed in the back, it was better to guard against anyone from the beginning and not trust anyone.
Lu Zheng admitted that he was persecuted by the sinister and cunning Min Yun, and the persecution was so persecuted that he had a slight persecution paranoia, and everyone was suspicious. (To be continued.) )
