Chapter 18: Blackwater City
"Haha, Xiaoxue, you are really amazing, I didn't expect you to find two blue heart grasses for me in a while, this soul suppression must belong to me!"
"Xiaoxue, you are so powerful, how can you follow such a weak guy? It's really incomprehensible...... Hey, idiot, or you can give Xiaoxue to me, then I won't blame you for bullying me, how about it?...... Huh, speak...... Hey, are you listening to me?"
"Ah, what are you talking about?" Ye Xiaotian hurriedly lowered his head, and happened to meet Chu Mengxue's cannibalistic gaze, and he didn't feel a cold sweat coming.
After getting the Blue Heart Grass, Chu Mengxue didn't want to stay on the grassland anymore, and immediately asked to return, and the young man in white came here to call Chu Mengxue back, so naturally he had no objection. As for Ye Xiaotian, he also had a chance to take a "hitchhiker". After questioning Ye Xiaotian for a long time, the young man in white finally believed that he had no intention of entering this Xinghai grassland, and did not continue to embarrass him.
After that, he did not see how he moved, and in a few moments, a giant eagle flew from a high distance and landed in front of them. The giant eagle is black all over, with a very wide back, which can accommodate at least five or six people to sit on it, and the most special thing is that its eyes, black and deep, seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
However, to Ye Xiaotian's great consternation, such a mighty and majestic giant eagle actually lay down in front of the young man in white, waiting for him to go up. After that, Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and climbed on the back of the giant eagle with the white-clothed young man, Chu Mengxue.
Looking at the fields and houses placed like a chessboard below, Ye Xiaotian, who enjoyed the high-altitude view for the first time, couldn't be happier, he looked at the figure like a black dot below, his face was full of excitement. However, the excitement did not last long, and he began to fall into distress.
Unlike him, Chu Mengxue seemed to be used to sitting on the back of the giant eagle, because she didn't look down with excitement like Ye Xiaotian. Instead, as soon as she sat on the back of the eagle, she began to tease Xiaoxue, and from time to time she would talk to Ye Xiaotian, but the content of the conversation was all towards Xiaoxue's ownership. This is also the reason why Ye Xiaotian is distressed, he doesn't want to agree, but he is embarrassed to refuse. Whenever this happens, he will hesitate and procrastinate, but fortunately, in the end, the young man in white will stop Chu Mengxue's "nonsense" in a timely manner, and he can be regarded as surviving several catastrophes without danger.
At this moment, the three of them were standing or sitting on top of the giant eagle, among them, the young man in white stood in front of him with his hands in his hands, looking down, not knowing what he was thinking, the wind blew, blowing his white clothes flying, his long hair flying, and his clothes were blown to the sound of hunting, but he was like a huge mountain, standing still. His elegant and chic back at this moment is really hard to forget. Ye Xiaotian unconsciously fell into a trance because he looked at his back. Naturally, I didn't hear Chu Mengxue's words. After being awakened by Chu Mengxue at this moment, he came back to his senses, but only saw Chu Mengxue glaring at him angrily, as if he had annoyed her somewhere, but how did he know why, so he had to bite the bullet and ask the reason.
"You...... Hmph!" Chu Mengxue looked at his appearance, and she was even more angry, she snorted heavily, and was about to have a seizure, but when she thought that she still had to ask him, she had to calm down and say what she said before.
"Well, this ...... This one!" Ye Xiaotian glanced at Xiao Xue, who was held in Chu Mengxue's arms, and said with a sad face: "This is a dead glutton...... Xiaoxue has to eat the spirit grass elixir every day, I'm afraid it ......"
"I know!" Chu Mengxue interrupted Ye Xiaotian, and said proudly: "Isn't it a spirit pill, let me tell you, the last thing Miss Ben's family lacks is things like spirit grass spirit pills, so ah, you can give Xiao Xue to me with confidence, keep it for those who are raised white and fat, right, Xiao Xue!" As he spoke, he also raised Xiao Xue in his arms. However, Xiaoxue is very faceless, and she looks completely listless.
"But ......"
"Hmph, but what is it?" Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was about to excuse herself, Chu Mengxue immediately sank her face and reprimanded: "Stinky rascal, you have taken such a big advantage from me, do you want you to refuse if I want you to be a spirit beast, it's so stingy!"
"Uh, okay, okay, I'm ......"
"Xue'er, it's not okay for you to persecute this little brother like this, what's more, the spirit beast is already an animal with intelligence, shouldn't you ask for its opinion first? It seems that it doesn't seem to be following your interest!" Just when Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear the persecution and wanted to compromise, suddenly a gentle voice came, interrupting his words, he followed the voice, only to see that the young man in white who had been turning his back to them had turned his head at some point, and was looking at them with a faint smile, obviously, it was he who interrupted Ye Xiaotian's words just now.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chu Mengxue on the side, and then saw Chu Mengxue's expectant expression instantly turned into annoyance, she glared at the young man in white, pouted, and said angrily: "Brother Xueyu, are you my brother or this stupid brother, why do you always help him bully me! I was about to succeed just now!"
Xueyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Xue'er, you know, I have always been a helper rather than a relative, and your behavior just now does mean to persecute this little brother." Besides, this little brother has just helped you find the Blue Heart Grass, you should thank him, how can you still ask someone else?"
"Hmph, that's what Xiao Xue helped me find, where does this dead idiot have half of his strength?" Chu Mengxue pursed her lips and argued: "So, I deserve Xiao Xue even more, Xiao Xue can know the Blue Heart Grass so easily, maybe I can rely on it to find a lot of rare spirit grass in the future!"
"Xue'er, you're messing around again!" Xue Yu's expression was solemn, and his tone was a little reproachful, "Since this spirit beast belongs to this little brother, then its credit should be credited to the little brother, so ......"
"I don't care, I must get Xiaoxue anyway!" Chu Mengxue interrupted Xueyu's words as if angry, and glared at Ye Xiaotian, besides, this stinky guy doesn't care for Xiaoxue at all, Xiaoxue follows him, and he must be abused to death!"
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but be embarrassed, although he did scold the little glutton, but most of the time it was helpless, he was not the owner of the little glutton, it was really impossible to abuse the little glutton. He pursed his lips and was about to explain, but a break interrupted him.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see that Xueyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he was glaring at Chu Mengxue, and said in a deep voice: "Xue'er, if you are so unreasonable, don't blame me for sending you back to your uncle!"
This sentence seems to have a lot of effect. At least Ye Xiaotian found that after Xueyu said this, Chu Mengxue, who was still unscrupulous just now, immediately calmed down, and her tone of voice was also quite weak, "Brother Xueyu, I was wrong! I shouldn't be angry with you!"
"Well, as long as you are obedient, I will naturally not send you back!" Hearing this, Xueyu's expression eased a lot, and after a straight face of admonition, he turned around and continued to examine the landform below the giant eagle.
And Chu Mengxue was indeed much more honest, and she didn't continue to ask Ye Xiaotian for Xiaoxue's ownership or anything. Instead, she sat quietly on the sidelines, and judging by the way her lips were pursed, she was probably sulking. Ye Xiaotian wanted to talk to her, but he didn't dare to speak, so he just looked at her in a daze, at a loss. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for Chu Mengxue to suddenly turn her head and glared at him, "Whatever you see, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, and my brother in Xueyu is angry with me!"
Ye Xiaotian was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to look away, no longer daring to look at Chu Mengxue. And when Chu Mengxue saw him turn his head, she also snorted coldly, and didn't continue to embarrass him.
Probably because Xue Yu lost his temper once, Chu Mengxue became much more honest, and did not continue to pester Ye Xiaotian to ask for Xiaoxue. If she didn't say anything, Ye Xiaotian naturally didn't dare to open the conversation, and she didn't say anything all the way.
After flying for a long time, Ye Xiaotian clearly felt that the giant eagle was showing signs of descending, he came back from his trance, looked down, and was stunned. Below the giant eagle is no longer a monotonous farmland, a forest, or a small village of houses in clusters, but a dense city of countless houses and pavilions, with no end in sight.
And at this time, Xue Yu, who had been silent for a long time, also turned his head again, he pointed down, and said lightly: "It's here, this is Blackwater City!"
"Blackwater City?" Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but look at this magnificent city again. For the three words of Blackwater City, this is the third time he has heard it. The first time was when he was still living in Ziyun Residence, when Ye Shi'er proudly introduced him to him, saying that Ziyun City was named because of Ziyun Mountain, and Ziyun Mountain was known to the world because of the existence of Tianjian Gate, so it can be said that Ziyun City was born because of Tianjian Gate. And it is such a Purple Cloud City, after thousands of years of development and prosperity, it will become the second largest city in the cultivation realm, it is conceivable that the influence of the Heavenly Sword Gate in the cultivation realm is huge.
At that time, Ye Xiaotian also felt a sense of pride when he heard it, and at the same time, he couldn't help but ask which city the largest city in the cultivation realm was, and then, he heard the words Blackwater City from Ye Shi'er's mouth.
At that time, due to Ye Shi'er's secrecy, his understanding of Blackwater City only stayed at the most superficial cognition, he only knew that it was the largest city in the cultivation realm that was much larger than Purple Cloud City, but he didn't know where it was.
The second time I heard the words Blackwater City, it was on that Xinghai grassland. At that time, when Xueyu interrogated him where he came from, he wanted to say that he was from a strange forest, but after thinking about it, the "mysterious uncle" had warned him not to mention anything about him to anyone, so he didn't say it, only said that he was from a place called Ziyunju.
Then he saw Xue Yu and Chu Mengxue looking at him with a puzzled expression, he was stunned for a moment, then stuck out his tongue, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added that Ziyun Residence was a small courtyard of Zixia Peak, and Zixia Peak was one of the nine main peaks of the Heavenly Sword Gate.
Then he saw Xue Yu and Chu Mengxue's puzzled face, which instantly turned into a look of shock. Of course, their behavior after that was also different, Xue Yu only came back to his senses after being stunned for a short while, and then he glanced at him meaningfully and did not speak! And Chu Mengxue, after being stunned, immediately glared at him with a disdainful expression, and muttered in a voice that he could hear: "Liar, you know how to deceive people all day long! Who doesn't know that the Heavenly Sword Gate is far away from here, and if you want to deceive people, you can't find a better reason!"
Probably seeing Ye Xiaotian's doubts, Xueyu explained to him: "Little brother, you probably don't know, this is the Xinghai Grassland close to the 100,000 Mountains, from here to the south for half a day, you will enter the boundary of the 100,000 Mountains, and if you go north, you will encounter a very large city, that city is called Blackwater City." As for the Heavenly Sword Gate you mentioned, it is a distance between it and Blackwater City that spans several states, and it will take at least ten years for ordinary people to cover this distance. So ......"
"So, next time you want to deceive people, you must at least think of a convincing lie, don't just make up a lie and come out to deceive people, hmph, nerds are nerds, they can't even deceive people!" After Chu Mengxue finished speaking, she glared at Ye Xiaotian fiercely again, and then gave up.
Ye Xiaotian didn't pay attention to Chu Mengxue's white eyes, he was stunned at this time, and said in a daze: "Ten years? Why ten years?" He remembered that when the mysterious master took him into the strange forest, it was almost instantaneous, and it didn't even take an hour. And now this white-clothed young man told him that it would take him ten years to reach it, which undoubtedly did not surprise him, he had always thought that he was cultivating near Ziyun Mountain.
However, his question was not further answered by Xue Yu, and Chu Mengxue also snorted coldly, looking like she didn't want to pay attention to him anymore. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian's second understanding of Blackwater City ended here. After that, they began to set off from the Xinghai Grassland and headed for Blackwater City.
This time, after hearing that the huge city in front of me was Blackwater City, although he already knew something, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he was still shocked, Blackwater City was too huge. Standing high in the sky, you can't even see the end of it.
Full of shock, Ye Xiaotian slipped off the giant eagle and landed on the ground. A ring of tall walls blocked his view, preventing him from seeing what's going on inside the city. However, on the opposite side, he found two huge stone doors that were five zhang high and about three zhang wide. At this time, the two stone gates were opened, and two sergeants standing on each side stood defending the city. And above the stone gate, three dignified black characters are engraved on it - Blackwater City. Ye Xiaotian stared at these three words, and he was absorbed for a long time.
