Chapter 166: The City Lord of Xuquan City
The three of them, led by Chen Cang, walked into the city gate.
Inside the gate was a wide stone road that could accommodate four carriages in parallel. There were no shops on either side of the road, only guards standing on either side. The people Chen Cang mentioned were actually no different from these guards, and they were all wearing simple armor and holding weapons in their hands. The only difference is that these people are not as tall as the guards.
At this moment, almost all the people of the city gathered here. In fact, when the underworld army outside the city arrived, they were already here. When Gu Yunzhe was fighting, the fierce voices of the two sides of the battle on the battlefield, as well as the thrilling screams later, these people all listened to them.
As the sounds on the battlefield faded away, it was speculated that the army outside the city had been completely annihilated. Some people saw countless stumps through the cracks in the door, and they were so frightened that they vomited again and again. Then I smelled the pungent smell of burning, and again I saw the mud all over the ground after the heavy rain.
Chen Cang came to the city with all the guards and soldiers, dispersed the people gathered there to both sides, and opened the city gate. The people in the distance also heard the news, and they all rejoiced, and gathered here to see the reinforcements.
At this time, Gu Yunzhe, Wu Xiang, and Wu Fan, under the leadership of Chen Cang, slowly entered the city gate. As soon as the figures of the three appeared on the street, the voices of the people on both sides suddenly fell silent.
Almost all the eyes of the people were attracted by the appearance of Wu Xiang and Wu Fan. Everyone didn't expect that there was such a stunning appearance in the world, which can really be described as "beautiful and beautiful than flowers, and jade and beautiful than spring".
The beauty of the witch phase, like the beautiful jade of Kunlun, falls in a corner of the southeast, exuding a faint brilliance in the cold, and cannot help but stagnate. The beauty of Wu Fan is like a tree with Qiong branches, standing proudly between the green mountains and green waters, blooming with sparkling brilliance in the warmth.
Both of them were dressed in white at the moment, and their clothes fluttered like clouds and mist. Although the clothes are similar, they are all in style. It's just that although the two of them have shocking faces, they are solemn and sacred, like a loving mother and a strict teacher, which makes people unable to raise the slightest blasphemy. For a while, everyone couldn't help kneeling on the ground, touching their heads to the slate, and bowing to the two.
Chen Cang stood beside him, looking at the people kneeling on the ground, and smiled secretly in his heart, he had guessed this outcome. remembered that when the two of them flew into the city wall like a shock, their thousands of years of practice were almost broken. Just after a glance, there seemed to be a murmuring sound in my ears, like a breeze passing through the treetops, like a drizzle falling down the house, like a leaf falling on the roots, like stepping on light snow, this sound made my restless heart calm down in an instant.
Gu Yunzhe looked at the soldiers all over the ground, and suddenly knelt on the ground, knowing that he must have been impressed by the posture and appearance of the two "sisters" beside him, and the original description of "kneeling under the pomegranate skirt" was true.
Wu Xiang and Wu Fan looked at everything in front of them indifferently, as if those people should kneel down to them. After a while, Wu Fan whispered twice to Chen Cang behind him.
Chen Cang clenched his fists and bowed, took a step forward, stepped forward and said proudly: "The immortal commands, don't disturb the people, everyone get up." According to the duties he received before the war, build roads and houses, heal the sick and save people, and disperse. When he spoke, he used the spirit element in his body to send the words just now to the ears of all the people and soldiers.
Although they heard his words, the people still knelt on the ground, unwilling to get up. It seems that only in this way can you appear to be extremely pious and respectful!
Chen Cang looked at the people who were still kneeling on the ground, a little embarrassed, and bowed down to Wu Xiang and Wu Fan and said, "Please also ask the two immortals to enter the mansion first, and these people will naturally get up." ”
Wu Xiang and Wu Fan glanced at him and looked back at Gu Yunzhe. Gu Yunzhe smiled slightly, "Two sisters, your status is too high, only when we leave here, these people will be more comfortable." Please lead the way, General Chen. ”
Wu Xiang and Wu Fan nodded, and Wu Xiang said, "Then let General Chen take us into the mansion." ”
Chen Cang heard that Gu Yunzhe actually called Wu Xiang and Wu Fan "sister", and the two of them readily agreed, it seems that this Gu Yunzhe is not simple. Moreover, when Gu Yunzhe was fighting those underworld armies on the battlefield, he could see clearly that with a height of more than two hundred zhang, the giant spirit gods of the heavenly court were slightly inferior to him.
Moreover, the last black fog can turn tens of thousands of powerful armies into a pile of rotten flesh and bones in an instant. He sighed to himself, in this Netherworld, there are no one who can have this kind of strength in the underworld, except for those mountain lords and emperors.
Although Chen Cang had a hundred doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask directly. Led all the way to the most central part of the city. There was a huge school yard with countless stone pillars standing on all sides, and on the other side were countless weapon shelves with countless long and short blades placed on them. At the end of the school field is the huge city lord's mansion.
At this time, the city lord's mansion, the door of the mansion was open, and a team of color-armored warriors had already lined up on both sides, and in the center was a group of civil officials covered in black gauze, and standing in front of this group of civil officials was a bearded man who was too tall.
This big man is dressed in a navy blue unicorn and brocade, wearing a colorful tiger-headed gold, silver and jade armor inside, a pair of phoenix-winged hook-headed combat boots under his feet, a palm-wide jade-inlaid belt is tied around his waist, and a gorgeous gold-inlaid long sword hangs on one side.
Looking at the face again, although the face is full of long hair, it can't hide the heroic spirit. Tiger eyes, eyebrows into the sideburns, not angry and self-assured, people dare not despise. There was no hat on his head, only a bun, and a long green jade hairpin pinned to it.
After the city lord saw Gu Yunzhe and the others, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed his hand, "Salamander Swirl City Lord, Tianquan, I have worshiped the two ancestors and welcomed the arrival of Gu Hero." The arrival of a few people, like timely rain, moistens the fields of bitterness and drought, and in an instant, the danger of my salamander whirlwind disappears invisibly. Let my city shine brightly! ”
It turned out that Chen Cang had already reported the arrival of the three to the city lord Tianquan. And although the city lord was in the mansion, he had already seen Gu Yunzhe's giant body at that time. It is no wonder that although the city wall is tall, it is only about eighty zhang. Although the people under the city wall couldn't see it, they could see Gu Yunzhe's figure above the waist and abdomen in this city lord's mansion. Moreover, the black fog at that time suddenly rose, like a black cloud filling the sky, which filled the city lord Tianquan with curiosity.
Wu Xiang and Wu Fan did not show any surprise when they heard the name of this city lord. However, Gu Yunzhe was a little shocked, "Tianquan, is it one of the Beidou Tianquan?" As soon as his question was opened, Chen Cang's face on the side changed drastically.
His questioning, though somewhat blunt, was not inappropriate. City Lord Tianquan had heard of his name a long time ago, so he didn't care about the human beings in his world, who didn't understand the traditions of this Netherworld.
City Lord Tianquan smiled slightly and nodded, "That's true, I am one of the Tianquan of this Beidou." ”
"Could it be that these Big Dippers are all named after the gods of your Netherworld?" Gu Yunzhe continued to ask.
City Lord Tianquan looked at Gu Yunzhe's innocent personality and laughed, "When my Beidou Lord dies, I am naturally the person of this Netherworld." But we're not immortals, we're the Underworld. The Beidou is not seven stars, but nine. It's just right for my nine springs. And I'm just one of them. ”
After listening to this, Gu Yunzhe nodded, and arched his hand: "I have been taught, thank you to the city lord for solving my doubts." ”
The city lord Tianquan turned to one side and made a "please" movement, "Two ancestral witches, Gu Yingying, this is not a place to speak, please follow me into the mansion." After speaking, leading the way in front, Gu Yunzhe and Wu Xiang, Wu Fan followed behind and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
This castle lord's mansion is the most majestic building in the whole city, and the tall palace gate opens to both sides, revealing the courtyard gate with two entrances inside. This gatehouse is about two zhang high, the green pillar is carved, and the bucket arch is upturned. On either side of the doorway were two huge stone beasts, which resembled lions, but had horns on their heads, scales on their bodies, and wings on their backs. The difference is that one opens its left wing and the other opens its right wing, as if to welcome.
The plaque at the head of the door is engraved with two huge characters "酆泉", and there are dragon and phoenix patterns around the plaque.
The three of them walked into the city lord's mansion with Tianquan, and between the gate and the courtyard gate was a courtyard, with a rockery on the left and a water pavilion on the right. Then he crossed the four courtyard gates and entered into a large hall on the innermost side.
In Gu Yunzhe's opinion, this hall is like the palace of the Forbidden City, the difference is that all the pillars are black, and the entire palace is also mainly dark. And the palace door hangs black flowers, showing solemnity.
In the innermost part of the hall there was a high platform on which a huge table was placed, and behind it was a large ebony high-backed chair. Behind the chair is a huge screen with a unicorn chart. In front of the high platform are two rows of wide futons, and there are dozens of them.
The city lord Tianquan led Gu Yunzhe and Wu Xiang, and Wu Fan into the hall. He didn't sit on the chair on the high platform, but let Wu Xiang, Wu Fan, and Gu Yunzhe to the futon in the position of hanging his hands. As for him, he and Chen Cang came to the futon opposite.
Several people sat cross-legged on the futon, and then a dozen servants walked out from the side of the main hall, a few people in front carried five tables, and ten people in the back each held a large tray with wine, food and fresh fruits. They placed a table in front of each person and arranged the wine, food and fruit on the tray neatly.
City Lord Tianquan raised a glass of wine, "The two immortals, the heroes of the valley, the time is in a hurry, and there is no time to prepare in the mansion." These coarse tea and light rice, please satisfy your stomach for the time being. Later, there will be a delicious meal to be served. ”
Gu Yunzhe looked at the wine and food on the table. There are not many of them, but they are exquisite, each dish is very special, the color is bright, very attractive, and it smells sweet, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like coarse tea and light rice. It's just that with the kindness of the city lord, he couldn't refute his face, so he raised his wine glass, "Thank you for the city lord's hospitality!" ”
He suddenly found that Wu Xiang and Wu Fan beside him did not mean to raise a glass, Wu Xiang looked at the city lord and said, "We have not eaten ordinary food for thousands of years, please forgive the city lord." ”
City Lord Tianquan put the wine glass on the table, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed, "Two immortals, I was abrupt. Sorry for! ”
Wu Xiang and Wu Fan didn't speak, just nodded slightly. Gu Yunzhe knew that the two of them had lived in the Western Regions for a long time, isolated from the outside world, and did not need to pay attention to the human relations in this world. At this time, seeing that the city lord Tianquan looked a little embarrassed, he spoke, "Tianquan city lord, I haven't fasted yet, so I will drink with the city lord on behalf of the two sisters." ”
City Lord Tianquan heard Gu Yunzhe's words and laughed, "It's okay, then ask Brother Gu to taste my netherworld meal, how is it different from the world." Please! He also noticed that Gu Yunzhe's title to Wu Xiang and Wu Fan was very close. So he also mentioned Gu Yunzhe's identity to the same position as himself.
Chen Cang, who was sitting next to him, also raised his wine glass and drank it with the two of them.
Watching them drink the wine in their cups, Wu Xiang suddenly spoke, "Heavenly Power City Lord, do you know who brought Yun Zhe into this dark realm and for what purpose. ”
The city lord Tianquan was a little uncomfortable with the straightforwardness of the witch minister, but he didn't dare to attack. After all, the identities of these two people are too special, and their status is also extremely high. He watched as the waiter filled the wine glass, then glanced at Chen Cang. Chen Cang hurriedly stood up, saluted them, led the attendants, and withdrew from the main hall.
At this moment, there were only four of them left in the main hall.
Tianquan sighed, "Don't hide it from Lord Zuwu, although I am the lord of this salamander vortex city, I am only a prince. For this netherworld gate, there is no such cultivation, let alone such power. After all, for an underworld of my status, there are a hundred and ten in the entire Netherworld. However, after the gate of Nadifu was opened. I and other Nine Springs City Lords have also had friends with the Netherworld, and I think that the only ones who can open the door of this Netherworld Mansion can only be the Five Directions Ghost Emperor and the Taishan Mansion Monarch, and other high-ranking gods. and the three of the two mountain chiefs and the Yellow Springs Stygian Sea. It's just that as for who it is, I don't dare to ask. ”
Wu Fan asked, "Then can you guess what their purpose is?" ”
Tianquan shook his head and looked at Gu Yunzhe, "Let Brother Gu be a human and enter this Netherworld." If you don't want to make friends with Brother Gu, then you have taken a fancy to something about Brother Gu. ”
After listening to this, Gu Yunzhe also fell into deep thought!
