Chapter 3: The Search for the Vast City
Guo Yi immediately expressed his willingness to go to Cangmu City with Shi Sanpang, even if Shi Sanpang didn't say it, he was going to find Luoyan Sect, and felt that Shi Sanpang was very good, so that there was a companion on the road to take care of each other, and Shi Sanpang seemed to know a lot about the affairs of the sect.

After that, the caravan was safe all the way, except for two bandits blocking the road and blackmailing, there were basically no other twists and turns. As soon as the caravan arrived at its destination, Guo Yi and Shi Sanpang asked the caravan leader for payment, and the two left.
Led by Shi Sanpang along the way, Guo Yi seemed to have taken some less unjust roads.
Two fast horses with dust quickly shuttled out of the forest path, out of the woods, a young man who looked fat grabbed the reins of the horse, and the other boy also stopped, the two were Guo Yi and Shi Sanfat.
"Brother Yi, it should be the location of the Vast City in front of you bypassing this mountain. Shi Sanpang took the reins and pointed ahead.
Guo Yi looked into the distance in the direction of Shi Sanfat, and the back of the hillside in front of him was hazy, as if he was shrouded in fog, and his eyes could only see the front hillside.
Walking with Shi Sanpang along the way, Guo Yi learned from Shi Sanpang that Shi Sanpang had a map to go to Cangmu City and a pass token. As for how Shi Sanpang got the map and token, according to Shi Sanpang, it was the last time the caravan encountered robbers, Shi Sanpang found it on the small leader of a robber. As for how the robber got it, it is no longer clear, because the robber is already a dead soul under the knife. In the six months that Guo Yi has been in contact with Shi Sanpang, Guo Yi feels that Shi Sanpang has no scheming and is very righteous, just something that makes Guo Yi have a headache, Shi Sanpang is not only a foodie, but also a little pervert.
"The fog in front is recorded to be an immortal formation, and there is no sunlight all year round, and birds and beasts will lose their way when they fly into the fog. Shi Sanpang explained.
Shi Sanpang took out a black metal sign from his waist, with the word "Cang" engraved on it.
"This token is a pass, it can avoid evil and drive away fog, Brother Yi, let's go explore the road first." Shi Sanpang was slightly excited. "Drive, drive" a few times, Guo Yi and Shi Sanpang went in the direction of the fog.
Just bypassed the mountain, Guo Yi was shocked by what was in front of him, there was a dead silence near the fog, there was no life around, I felt that the world in front of me was a dead place, and the birds and flowers behind him were completely two worlds, one was dead and silent, and the other was full of vitality.
"Fatty," Guo Yi reflexively called.
Regarding the scene in front of him, Shi Sanpang and Guo Yi felt the same way, and they were stunned for a moment. The two exchanged glances, and Guo Yi saw firmness in Shi Sanfat's eyes. Shi Sanpang gently patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse tore and barked a few times, not daring to move forward. Even the horses felt the breath of death, and refused to go forward no matter how much they flapped. The two of them could only get off the horse and walk, approaching the fog, the sight was completely blocked, the fog was like a city wall in front of them, Shi Sanpang immediately lit up the token, and Guo Yi followed closely behind him. When the two of them stepped into the fog at the same time, but the fog opened a door for the two of them, leading all the way to the front. Guo Yi was secretly surprised, and the two of them walked along the road where the fog receded, and walked for less than a pillar of incense.
"Fatty, there is a bird call, do you hear it?" asked Guo Yi towards Shi Sanfat.
"Well, I vaguely heard it, and I began to think that I was hallucinating, and I heard it wrong, as if it was transmitted from earlier. ”
Guo Yi heard Shi Sanpang say the same, and faintly felt that there should be a hole in front of him.
......
Hundreds of miles away, a huge city, a natural water protection river outside the city, the water source is drained from the vast mountain range, semi-encircled around the city, forming a natural barrier, the north of the city is against the vast mountain range.
The city is built in the shape of a character, the roads in the city are vertical and horizontal, the streets in the south of the city are lined with vendors, the cars and horses are bustling and shouting, the shouting and noisy are continuous, and all kinds of signboards outside the shops: restaurants, brothels, gambling houses....
"Big, big...."A gambling house was crowded with people, and most of the people here were excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and some left in disappointment, and then a group of people with excited expressions would come in. In the middle of the lobby, there was a large card table, surrounded by gamblers, one of whom looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with a strong body and strong muscles, and at a glance he knew that he was a practitioner, his eyes were bloodshot, and his arms were stretched out to press the table, as if he wanted to press people up. After a game opened, he scolded the fuck, obviously losing very badly.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform walked into the gambling house, and walked towards the young man, and the originally crowded gambling house made way for the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man walked directly to the boy's table, and the people around him fell silent, and the dealer saw the situation and stopped the game in his hand.
"Young Sect Master, Sect Master is asking you to go back. The middle-aged man in a Taoist uniform walked up to the young man and said.
The boy looked up and smiled like a hippie smile at the middle-aged man in the gray uniform.
"Uncle Li, I'll go back now, and I'll leave after the last one. The young man said sharply to the dealer again: "Push the cards quickly, Lao Tzu has something urgent." ”
The middle-aged man in the gray uniform shook his head with hatred. The dealer could only continue to push the cards, and the people around him became excited again.
Outside the gambling house, Chen Hao followed the middle-aged man in the gray uniform towards the north of the city. There is a check post in the middle of the north of the city and the south of the city, and the people who check the post are uniformly wearing clothes printed with the word "cang". When Chen Hao and his entourage passed through the inspection, they showed a token and passed.
There is only one road in the north of the city, and on both sides of the road are huge mansions, each with a plaque in front of the door. Chen Hao walked into the mansion in the fifth row with the man in gray uniform, the plaque on it reads "Luoyanzong Station" five golden characters, opposite is Haotianzong Station, on both sides are Xuanjian Gate and Hulu Valley Station, at the end of the road is a majestic hall, the two giant stone lions at the door are vivid, the stone lions exude invisible coercion like two door gods, and the hall is hung with the four big characters of "Vast Alliance".
In the middle of the hall of the Luoyan Sect post station, there was a middle-aged man in white clothes, who looked very elegant, and there was a golden goose medal on the chest of his clothes, this was Chen Yutian, the head of the Luoyan Sect, and there were eleven law enforcement elders of the Luoyan Sect sitting in the two rows below, and they seemed to be discussing something. At this time, a middle-aged man who had appeared in the gambling house was followed by a young man named Chen Hao.
"Sect Master, the young Sect Master has already brought. ”
