Chapter Fifty-Seven: Snow Spirit City
Zhong Ling and the little fox are guided by a boot to a city. I bought a map in the city and asked the merchants to mark a few locations with the presence of Wuzun on it.
"Little fox, look at these marks, the nearest one is Wanhua City in the direction of the map. Let's hurry up!" Zhong Ling summoned a flying demon beast with high spirits and commanded it to fly forward.
One day, two days, three days. I haven't seen any big cities yet, let alone the Wanhua City on the mark.
"What's going on? I bought a fake? I didn't even see it, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Zhong Ling muttered to himself on the lion carving.
"Xiao Ling, take out the map and take a look at it. "The little raccoon doesn't know why.
Zhong Ling took out the map again, unfolded it and looked at it with the little fox.
Zhong Ling pointed to a marker and said, "That's how it was drawn on the map." Go up to Wanhua City. ”
Xiaoxi checked it carefully: "Xiaoling, you're not right." At the top of the map is the north. Not your own front. So we went the other way around. ”
"Huh, is there such a statement?" Zhong Ling tried to remember what the teacher said when she taught them, but unfortunately, she couldn't find any memory of that class.
"Did I fall asleep at that time?" Zhong Ling thought to himself.
The little fox looked at Zhong Ling's appearance and knew that she would definitely not look at the map.
"Well, I'll see where we are now!" said the little fox for a moment.
The high mountain tops are covered with snow, and judging by the direction of the mountain, it has come to the Xueling Mountains in the north.
"According to this map, our nearest target is the city of Snow Ling, which is not far away," said the fox.
Zhong Ling immediately said: "Fortunately, the goal is still there." The Fang family in Snow Spirit City. ”
"Well, in about half an hour, you should be able to see the city. ”
"Okay, let's stop outside the city and go in and see what's going on. ”
An hour later, Zhong Ling took the little fox in his arms to the gate of Snow Spirit City.
No one entered or left the gates except for two soldiers standing guard. Looking into the city, there were no people on the wide streets.
"What's going on? How come there is no one going out in a big city?" Zhong Ling and Xiao Lixi looked at this dead and silent city strangely.
"Hey. Whose child are you, and why did you run away from the city?"
Zhong Ling walked up to the soldiers and found that the two soldiers were not in a good mental state, as if they hadn't slept for a long time.
"Big brother, I'm here to buy something in Snow Spirit City. Why can't anyone in Snow Spirit City see it?" replied Zhong Ling.
"Shopping, you kid dare run around. Hurry up and go back! There are no shops open in Snow Spirit City now. A soldier yawned.
"Big brother, I heard that Snow Spirit City is very prosperous, how did it become like this?"
"Don't ask, let's go, little girl. It's too late. An older soldier kindly persuaded him.
"Uncle, tell me about it, or I'll go back and be scolded by the family." Zhong Ling played the bitter card.
When the two soldiers heard Zhong Ling say this, they thought that they were the juniors of a family who had come out to train. looked at the sky that was not too late, and briefly talked to Zhong Ling.
Xueling City has always been the most prosperous place in this Xueling Mountains, although it is a little colder, but the population density is not small.
But more than half a month ago, a strange phenomenon appeared in Snow Spirit City. The people of the city began to have nightmares. Whether you sleep during the day or at night, you will have nightmares.
Gradually, the people in the city became less energetic and did not dare to sleep. People who couldn't stand it anymore began to leave Snow Spirit City.
But as long as people who have stayed in the city, even if they leave Snow Spirit City, they will be controlled by the scene in the dream and return to the city when they sleep and have nightmares.
At this time, the Fang family, the first family of Snow Spirit City, found a way to resist the nightmare, but this method had regional restrictions. It needs to be within the Fang family's sphere of influence to be effective.
However, there are so many people in the entire city, and the Fang family can't squeeze it. Therefore, everyone had to take turns to go to Fang's house to rest for six hours, and then let the others rest.
The other is to join the Fang family's forces, so that there is no need to give up the position.
"We are the Empire's compiling soldiers. From the lord of the city to the husband, they all took the empire. Castle Lords and Warlords will not join any other faction. The two soldiers sighed: "Now everyone is struggling to support themselves, and I don't know how long they can hold on." ”
"Didn't you ask the Empire for help?" Zhong Ling asked.
"It is said that an official document has been sent out, but no one has solved it yet!"
"How did the Fang family control not having nightmares?"
"I don't know, I heard that the adults said that they used the formation to isolate the nightmare. You say, what kind of isolation method is this dream? I really don't understand. ”
"Where is the lord now, take me to him. With that, Zhong Ling took out the official commander of the city guard waist card and showed it to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers were shocked when they saw the token, and immediately gave a military salute to Zhong Ling: "Lord Commander, please open the defensive shield to resist the invasion of nightmares." I'll take you there. ”
The older sergeant entered the city with Zhong Ling, who had opened the shield. The young sergeant continued to stand guard in high spirits.
Soon, they came to the City Lord's Mansion. Showing his waist card, Zhong Ling soon saw the city lord who was also tired. Guo Jing.
After greeting each other. Guo Jing re-talked about the situation in Xueling City, which was basically the same as what the sergeant said.
"Lord City, what do you think could be the reason for this happening?" Zhong Ling asked.
"My lord, I've been looking for answers. It's a pity that my ability is limited, and I still don't have a clue. Guo Jing sighed: "This Fang family took advantage of the fire to rob and absorb a large number of other forces in Xueling City, and even wanted to get involved with the imperial army, its heart can be punished!"
"Well, I'm here for the Fang family this time. Alright, you're all good, I'll report truthfully to the Spirit Rhino King. Where is the Fang family, I will go and meet them. Zhong Ling got up to leave.
"My lord, I'll go with you! by the way, let's see what the hell this Fang family is doing. "City Lord Guo respectfully asks for instructions. He's very aggrieved these days.
"Okay, let's go together!" Zhong Ling did not refuse.
The military horn sounded, and the sergeants who could move lined up and followed the two adults to Fang's house.
There were eight guards standing at the gate of the Fang family, with their chests held high and their heads raised, full of energy.
Guo Jing glanced back at his subordinates, his face tired and in poor spirits.
Guo Jing turned his body, raised his voice and said loudly: "Is it hard to be a soldier?"
"Not bitter," the soldier replied in unison.
"Hehe, you're not sincere! Being a soldier is hard, and I have also risen from a big soldier to my current position. But even if it's bitter, why are we soldiers?"
"Defend your home and country!" replied the soldier in the same neat voice.
"Yes, defend the country! Our current Snow Spirit City needs our protection, and we can't go up?"
"Up!"
"For the sake of the people of the empire, we can't go up?"
"Up. Above. The morale of the soldiers was high, and the same head was raised and chested, and the killing spirit actually formed a shield.
Zhong Ling shouted at this time: "Who is in charge of the Fang family in Xueling City, come out and see!" The sound was like thunder, rolling towards the inner courtyard of the Fang family.
The Fang family suddenly rioted, and a figure appeared at the gate and on the battlement wall.
"Who are you, dare to make noise here?" came a big man in his thirties. The muscles of the whole body are tense, and great strength is displayed everywhere.
"Lord Zhong Ling, the commander of the Imperial Capital City Guards, is here, why don't you call Fang Shi to come out to greet him!"
"A little commander, being able to let me come out in the Fang family has already given you enough face. If you have something to say, please leave if you have nothing to do. Dahan said arrogantly.
Zhong Ling stepped forward and slapped the big man in the face like lightning.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the big man's body was crooked, and he fainted directly.
"Come out when you call Fang," Zhong Ling shouted.
The soldiers behind him also shouted together: "Come out when you call Fang!"
