Chapter Seventy-Four: The Eternal City
The wind and rain are obscure, and everything is silent.
A blood moon hung high in the night sky, and the bright moonlight splashed on the street through the window, An Yueyao woke up suddenly, but found that she didn't know when, she was actually standing at the gate of a big city, and she seemed to be distracted just now, so that she didn't move for a long time.
As far as the eye can see, it is a broad road.
On both sides of the avenue, there are houses with closed doors, and at the door of each house there is a lantern with strange pictures on it, and the evening breeze blows slowly, and under the light of the lanterns, those pictures seem to come to life, dancing in the firelight.
An Yueyao felt a little chill for the first time in a long time.
However, at the moment when she subconsciously tightened her robe, she suddenly woke up, with her own martial arts, how could she get cold in the evening breeze?
Thinking of this, An Yueyao immediately began to run her qi and blood.
However, the flow of qi and blood in the body has no corresponding trend, and the skin that used to be comparable to fine iron is now blown and broken, and there is no longer any divine power.
Dreamland? Distraction?
An Yueyao turned her mind when she landed, and at the same time, her slender jade fingers flew up and down, wanting to use both inside and outside, visualizing the Tianzhu Divine Mountain while moving the mountain seal, and urging the fist intent to break through the illusion, but what made her frown was that this act was useless, and even the fist intent seemed to have disappeared.
It is very terrifying that the martial arts that have been practiced for decades will be lost.
Even if a martial saint who has refined his fist intent and has a firm mind, it is difficult to withstand such a big change of ups and downs, and it is possible for his mood to collapse.
"Hoo ....."
An Yueyao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, clenched her teeth, and instantly killed the slightest panic in her heart, and her phoenix eyes reappeared firm and persistent.
And yet at this moment----
"I mean, how long are you going to stand here?"
“....!!!”
An Yueyao turned around suddenly, but saw a man with a strong and stubborn appearance looking at her impatiently: "Yo? Dare to stare at me? It's the middle of the night, sir, I'm willing to let you in, it's good, why don't you hurry up? Or do you want to stay with me? ”
An Yueyao was a young lady from a large family before joining the Anti-Heaven Temple, so she naturally knew that this was the style of some secular soldiers who defended the city, and there was no need to worry about it.
So she didn't talk to him, and turned around and left the city gate.
And as she walked farther and farther on this official road into the city, her expression became more and more solemn, not only because of the blood moon in the sky, which was extremely strange at first glance, but also because of this huge city, she had walked for so long, and she had not seen even half a figure so far.
In addition to the whirring of the evening breeze, there was only the sound of the lanterns swaying at the doors of each house.
No popularity.
It's like a dead city.
Looking at all this, An Yueyao's brows furrowed even deeper, of course she couldn't appear here for no reason, in her memory, she was the same as last time, after triggering the mark of the reincarnation hall master, she was immediately led to the reincarnation hall and accepted the task issued by the reincarnation hall master.....
But the problem lies in what comes after.
------ she doesn't remember what the mission of the reincarnation hall master is.
Something is wrong.
Walking all the way along Kangzhuang Avenue and walking around a corner, An Yueyao, who had already lifted her full spirit, was suddenly startled, because just around the corner, there was a man in a robe who fell to the ground, and a big cloth flag was erected next to it, which read, "Knowing the fortune and the fortune, the road is up and down for thousands of years." ”
Fortune teller?
With the sudden appearance of such a person, An Yueyao naturally couldn't be unvigilant, and after a moment of silence, instead of stepping forward, she planned to turn around.
But at this moment, the fortune teller suddenly looked at her and said:
"Girl, please stay, poor Dao sees that there is a bloody disaster on your head."
“.......”
An Yueyao's movements stopped abruptly, her phoenix eyes stared sharply at the fortune teller who spoke, and after a while, she squatted down, looked at the fortune teller who was sitting on the ground, and said quietly: "What the Taoist priest said is not bad, I see that your Yin Tang is black, I am afraid that within a moment, there will be a disaster of blood and light." ”
"Huh?" The fortune teller was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect An Yueyao to tell his fortune in turn, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "How do you calculate that I have a blood light disaster?" ”
"Don't count."
An Yueyao got up, and then smashed the fortune teller on the head with the roadside stone she had picked up when she had just squatted.
"Ah----!h
The fortune teller fell to the ground on the spot, and the blood light on his head was rushing out.
And after smashing the fortune teller, An Yueyao directly searched the fortune teller's belongings, and what made her eyes deeper and deeper was that from the body of the fortune teller, she actually searched out several medicine bottles, a token, and even a pocket white jade flying knife.
"Qi Replenishing Pill, Blood Strengthening Pill, Qiankun Token, and a forbidden weapon...."
These are all things from the world where An Yueyao carried out the reincarnation mission last time, the first two pills don't need to be mentioned, after the Qiankun token is activated, it can make people move nearly a thousand meters out of thin air, and the pocket white jade flying knife is a killing forbidden weapon, which is usually lost when it is used up, but it is extremely powerful.
And these things .... Obviously not something that a fortune teller can have.
"Sure enough." An Yueyao put the things into her arms and ate a blood strengthening pill to relieve the chill caused by the evening breeze, and at the same time made a judgment in her heart.
------ mission of the Reincarnation Hall Master is not something that can be completed alone.
It's like her first mission, which was a multiplayer mission, when she had two teammates. The same was true for this mission, she remembers that she was accompanied by three of her teammates.
However..... She couldn't remember what they looked like.
Such a huge city, but there is not a single person to be seen, and among the only two people I see, one of them still has artifacts that obviously belong to the members of the Reincarnation Hall.
This made her have to be suspicious.
"I'm afraid this person is one of my teammates I don't remember.... The same may be true of the defenders. ”
And if my guess is true, I'm afraid I will meet a "living person".
After standing in place and pondering for a while, An Yueyao took another step, stepped past the fortune teller, and continued to move forward along the road.
An inn caught her eye.
In the inn, I saw a shopkeeper wiping the table diligently, humming a little song in his mouth, obviously the store had just closed and was cleaning up the tables and chairs.
But the table he was wiping down was cracked and crumbling.
And the inn where he is located is full of cobwebs and dust, obviously no one has been patronizing it for a long time, but the shopkeeper is unaware of this.
Even after seeing An Yueyao, he waved his hand enthusiastically: "This girl, I'm sorry, we're already closed." ”
Seeing this, An Yueyao said softly: ".... Is the shopkeeper there? ”
"Shopkeeper?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, the smile on his face instantly stiffened, and he spoke again after a while: "Ah, I'm the shopkeeper here, I'm sorry, guest officer, we're closed." ”
“........”
An Yueyao looked at the white cloth in the shopkeeper's second-hand, and after looking closer, she could find that the white cloth was actually a square handkerchief, embroidered with eight treasure patterns such as treasure bottles, pisces, and lotus flowers, which were obviously not ordinary, but in the hands of the shopkeeper, it became a rag for wiping the table.
Without asking anything more, An Yueyao turned around decisively and continued to walk along the official road.
This time it was a long way.
The lanterns on both sides swayed, the wind was gusting, and gradually, a layer of gray mist spread from the ground, and when An Yueyao was shocked, the surroundings were already covered with smoke.
"Tsk!"
The little panic of being killed before reappeared, and An Yueyao hurriedly moved the mountain seal, although she couldn't visualize the fist intent, but this seal still gave her mental comfort after it was formed.
However, after a while, An Yueyao's slender jade fingers flying up and down suddenly stiffened, and the movement of the seal came to an abrupt halt.
Moving mountains and printing .....
Moving mountains and printing .....
How to knot?
In a trance, An Yueyao found that she had forgotten the method of moving mountains and seals that should have been impossible to forget! But just now, she clearly remembered this!
"Damn it!"
An Yueyao finally couldn't bear it, the panic in her heart grew more and more, and the pace under her feet unconsciously accelerated, and I don't know how long it took, but the smoke that filled the surroundings quietly dissipated, and when she looked back, she found that she had actually walked out of the gray fog, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.....
"I mean, how long are you going to stand here?"
“!!!”
The familiar voice next to her made An Yueyao's heart suddenly lift, her hands and feet were cold, and when she looked up, she saw a man who was wearing a strong and stubborn look was looking at her impatiently, and behind her was a huge city gate that she had not seen before.
A plaque hangs on the door:
"The Eternal City."
The simple three big characters, but as if they had magical power, the evening breeze continued to blow, and An Yueyao subconsciously wanted to seal it to stabilize her mind.
-----However.
"What seal?"
