Chapter 153: Deserted City, Dreamland
After the cyan warship fell to pieces, the speed of Ling Zheng and the three of them did not slow down.
Because after entering the realm of a third-level array mage, the formation mage has the ability to control the formation stone. In the past three years, under the guidance of Zhang Taiyan, Ling Zheng has made a lot of array stones for hand training, including some teleportation array stones.
Although the teleportation array stone made by Ling Zheng was not very effective in Zhang Taiyan's opinion, because it was based on the non-attribute true element, the effect was not too bad. Each teleportation array stone could teleport the three of them in a straight line for thousands of miles.
After using more than a dozen teleportation array stones in a row, Ling Zheng and Kong Xuan Doubi flew in the air for another hour or so, and the Wanjun spear in Ling Zheng's hand finally settled down.
Dou Bi looked at the front carefully, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Ling Zheng, your brain is burning?
Ling Zheng was also puzzled.
What appeared in front of me was an ancient city that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, full of ruins and ruins as far as the eye could see, and it was obviously a long time, except for the overgrown weeds, that is, the rat nest that had been stolen by rats I don't know how many, and even the rats seemed to be too lazy to stay in this place, and under the spiritual scanning, they found that there was no breath of life underground.
Moreover, even if it is not deserted, the original scale of this ancient city does not seem to be very large, compared to the North Pearl City that Ling Zheng and the three of them visited three years ago, this abandoned ancient city, the scale of the death is one-fifth of the North Pearl City.
As Dou Bi said, in such a small deserted ancient city, what can be worth exploring for cultivators?
Ling Zheng glanced at the Wanjun gun in his hand, with a puzzled expression.
Since seeing this ancient city, the Wanjun spear, which was still a little trembling, has completely lost its sound, and it is the same as the previous three years, lifeless and without a trace of spirituality. If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the Wanjun Spear burst into golden-red flames and burn his palms to the ground, Ling Zheng would have really thought that he was dreaming.
Not only that, the palm of his left hand, which was burned by the flames of the Wan Jun gun, recovered very slowly, and now it was nearly two hours since he was burned, but Ling Zheng's left hand still showed no signs of full recovery, and it still looked shocking.
Ling Zheng used the Dexterity Technique and urged Zhenyuan towards his left hand, which slightly accelerated the recovery of the injury.
After that, he turned his gaze again to the ruined ancient city in the distance.
In this desert with no people in sight, this already dilapidated ancient city is even more lonely.
After thinking about it carefully, Ling Zheng still said, "Regardless of whether there is something or not, since you are here, you can't just leave without doing anything, then I'm sorry I consumed eleven teleportation array stones." Let's look separately and see if we can find something in that broken city. ”
Dou Bi said cool words on the side: "Uncle, I thought that you came in such a hurry and would come to a place with beautiful women." Now it seems that even if there were beautiful women in this place, it is estimated that they would have long been scum. ”
Kong Xuan glanced at him, and there was an extra rose flower in his hand in an instant, Dou Bi was most afraid of this, and after muttering a few sentences, he followed Ling Zheng into this ancient city that had been abandoned for I don't know how many years.
Although the ancient city is dilapidated, at least you can get a rough idea of the original layout. After thinking about it, Ling Zheng pointed in two directions and said, "One of you two will go to the south, and the other will go to the east, I will start looking for it from the north, and then we will meet in the center of the city, and finally search the west." ”
Kong Xuan and Dou Bi glanced at each other a few times, nodded, and then flew into the sky and flew to the south and east respectively.
After that, Ling Zheng began to search carefully.
Ling Zheng searched very carefully, and every dilapidated building in the north of the ancient city was basically searched. Including every stone brick, the foundation of every building, etc., etc., basically no corner is missed.
Soon, it was dark, but Ling Zheng had no intention of stopping.
When the moon hung overhead, Ling Zheng finally searched all the ruins in the north of the ancient city, but he found nothing.
It can't be said that there is no harvest at all, at least he probably knows the age of the ancient city, and according to this style, this ancient city is not a relic of antiquity, but was built and abandoned after antiquity.
After 30,000 years, the ruins of this ancient city still have not turned into yellow sand and rotted, which is really a miracle that cannot be said to be a miracle.
In addition, Ling Zheng could also conclude that this was once an ancient city where cultivators gathered. Because when he was searching, he found a lot of fragments of magic weapons, and even found half of the shattered Dan furnace.
It can be inferred that the reason why this ancient city was abandoned was probably because there was a great battle that broke out and the winning side set fire to the city after taking it. Otherwise, most of the stone bricks in the city would not have been burned by so many traces of flames.
When he arrived in the middle of the city, Ling Zheng saw Kong Xuan and Dou Bi, who had searched and met at almost the same time.
The three of them exchanged the results of their search, and there was basically no difference.
Although Dou Bi complained a little at first about the search for this abandoned ancient city, he belonged to the kind of character who did better than he said, and when he searched the ancient city, he was no worse than Ling Zheng and Kong Xuan.
After exchanging search results with Ling Zheng and Kong Xuan, Dou Bi carefully glanced around, and then said very curiously: "Strange thing, the style of this city is very similar to a place that my master took me to in the first place. No, it can't be said to be similar, it's exactly the same. No wonder I looked at this place a little familiar at first. ”
Ling Zheng and Kong Xuan both cast inquiring glances.
Dou Bi had a rare serious expression on his face, and said with a frown: "Have you ever heard of the ruins of Heavenly Array City?"
Kong Xuan was stunned: "Have you been to Heavenly Array City?!"
Ling Zheng was also surprised.
The ruins of Heavenly Array City are a strange place in the cultivation realm, and that place is not a relic that has been preserved in ancient times, but it has a great reputation on the mainland. Because 50,000 years ago, Heavenly Array City once became a holy place in the hearts of the middle array mages in the cultivation realm. At that time, most of the highest-level array mages in the mainland were gathered in the Heavenly Array City, strictly speaking, the Heavenly Array City at that time was the strongest force in the mainland.
But I don't know why, after nearly a thousand years of glory, the Heavenly Array City gradually declined, first a large number of elite array mages left, and then the city continued to haunt and die, and then later, the Heavenly Array City, which is known as the 108,000 Great Array inside, appeared an unknown **, **After that, the Great Array in the Heavenly Array City became extremely chaotic, making the Heavenly Array City begin to teleport back and forth between the other space and the mainland.
Every few decades, Heavenly Array City will appear, so there are many people who go treasure hunting. But those who don't have the ability, let alone enter the ruins of Heavenly Array City, even seeing it is extravagant. Because after that riot, the large array on the periphery of Heavenly Array City was activated in unison, and the formation pattern did not disperse, unless it was the formation mage or some powerful cultivators who could find and enter, the others didn't even think about it.
Moreover, after entering the Heavenly Array City, you will encounter a lot of unknown dangers. Every time Heavenly Array City reappears in the world, more than seventy percent of the cultivators who enter it will die, but because many people have found precious magic weapons and other items from it, every time Heavenly Array City appears, many cultivators will rush to it.
And Dou Bi actually entered the ruins of Heavenly Array City?
Seeing that there was more doubt in the eyes of Ling Zheng and Kong Xuan, Dou Bi hurriedly said: "Strictly speaking, it can't be regarded as entering, at that time, my master made me faint after taking me inside." Before leaving there, he woke me up again. So I can see very little of it. ”
"But I can still remember the architectural style of the Heavenly Array City very clearly, and it is definitely exactly the same as this broken city. Kong Niang Cannon, what kind of expression do you have? Lao Tzu told you, if the style of this city is different from the ruins of Tianzhen City, Uncle Dou Bi's head will be unscrewed off and given you a night pot!"
Ling Zheng ignored Dou Pen's curse and swore in front of Kong Xuan's expression of disbelief, he looked around, and then said, "You two wait here for a while, and I'll go and search the west of the city that I haven't searched before." ”
Ling Zheng did what he said he would do, without the slightest hesitation. Because Kong Xuan and Dou Bi had nothing to do, they took out the wine and meat very casually, found a corner that looked relatively clean, and sat down to eat and drink.
Two hours later, Ling Zheng went and returned, still finding nothing. Then he sat next to Kong Xuan and Dou Bi, drinking wine and eating meat.
Even if Wan Jun spear led him to this place, but under the careful search, Ling Zheng still didn't gain anything, so he stopped clinging.
In the cultivation realm, the matter of finding an opportunity depends on luck, and Ling Zheng thinks that he doesn't have the luck to find the treasure that makes Wan Jun's gun move, so he no longer thinks about it.
Sticking the Wanjun gun to the side, Ling Zheng and Kong Xuandoubi discussed where to go next while eating and drinking.
Although the Northern Regions are bitterly cold, in this vast land, there are many cities where cultivators gather, and in terms of prosperity and scale, it should be Dengxian City, the most central area of the Northern Regions.
Some cities such as Feihong City, Beizhu City and so on are only extremely famous in one area, and unless something big happens, they will not be known to the land of the Northern Regions. And Dengxian City is different.
The city that can be named after the word Dengxian is not an ordinary place in the eyes of any cultivator.
As the largest city in the Northern Regions and one of the famous cities in the mainland, Dengxian City can be said to embody the prosperity of the entire Northern Regions.
There should be a lot of clever array mages there who can fight in formation, and there should also be more high-grade waste pills that can be transformed for him.
And the most important thing is that there will be many powerful cultivators who are also of the younger generation, and he wants to see how strong the top level geniuses in the Northern Regions can be.
After eating and drinking, the three of them planned to deal with the ruins of this ancient city for a night, and then set off for Dengxian City at dawn. Because Dengxian City is not close to here, you have to recuperate.
Subsequently, Kong Xuan and Dou Bi each took out a bunk cover from the ring, and found a leeward floor to sleep on like mortals. And Ling Zheng chose to sleep in the square in the center of this ancient city.
He didn't take the cover, just lay on the square in the center of the ancient city, pillowing his hands, staring at the night sky where the bright moon hung high.
Gradually, Ling Zheng, who had completely relaxed his body and mind, felt a hazy sleepiness, he did not resist this sleepiness, but gradually fell asleep with that sleepiness.
I don't know how long it took, but Ling Zheng suddenly heard someone talking.
He opened his eyes and found that they were two tall old men, one in a black robe and the other in a purple robe.
The conversation between the two was very concise, and they didn't say a few words at all. When Ling Zheng wanted to listen, the two old men stopped talking and stood on both sides of the square.
After that, the purple-robed old man summoned a pitch-black and simple spear and began to carefully carve the formation.
That spear is Ling Zheng's Wanjun gun!
The purple-robed old man was the former owner of Wanjun Gun?
Ling Zheng was puzzled, but suddenly felt that the space was trembling, and he reflexively looked at the formation patterns carved by the purple-robed old man.
Those formations are very peculiar, not complicated, and at first glance they look very twisted. But if you look closely, it makes people feel very mysterious.
Ling Zheng subconsciously wanted to memorize these formations, so he began to concentrate on observing and memorizing.
The black-robed old man who stood at the other end of the square, quietly watching the purple-robed old man's formation, looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said a word that shocked Ling Zheng:
"Good one, Four Elephants Red Sun Array. ”
This turned out to be the Four Elephants Red Sun Array?!
Ling Zheng was shocked, and a chill ran down his spine. At this startle, the surrounding scene was shattered, and he also woke up from the dream.
When he woke up from the dream, he felt a blazing heat, and subconsciously looked up and found that the Wanjun gun inserted not far away was in flames at the moment.
