Chapter 258: Temptation

"The old man should be an elder in the city, right! He was swept into this place by the whirlpool of the sea, and now he is desperate, so he came to join him with his wife, and hoped that the elder would take him in!" Ma Yilong pulled Liu Xinyuan and walked a few steps quickly to the front, bowed to the old man, and said very politely. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the previous scene in Zuocheng, although he was also polite, he directly said that Liu Xinyuan was his wife. Ma Yilong said this not only because of the relationship between the two, but also because of the idea of letting others fight Liu Xinyuan again.

"In Xia Huang Cheng, he is one of the elders in the city! Brother is polite, everyone who comes to this space is a victim, and it is not a secret, and he is also from the outside, but it has been a little longer. At the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, since the two of them have come to defect, how can there be any reason not to take them in!" The old man, who called himself Huang Cheng, smiled and bowed to return the salute, and even agreed.

Ma Yilong and Liu Xinyuan were surprised, but the two still spoke at the same time and thanked them again and again.

"The two of you are too polite! the two of you have come all the way here, I think you must be tired and hungry, let's talk about the rest in the future, first go into the city with me, have a full meal, and rest for a while!" Huang Cheng directly invited the two into the city without asking anything.

Ma Yilong and Liu Xinyuan looked at each other and smiled, although their hearts were full of vigilance, but their faces still looked grateful.

Under the guidance of Huang Cheng, Ma Yilong followed and walked towards the city gate. Stepping into the city gate with both feet, Ma Yilong was surprised.

According to Ma Yilong's original imagination, the outside of the city was already very dark after the flood, and this nearly sealed space would definitely be darker, although it would not be so much worse than the five fingers, but it would definitely not be much better. But the truth turned out to be completely opposite to what he imagined, the light here was very bright, and the line of sight was clear, far more than outside the city. Ma Yilong glanced up, and finally found the reason, there were many spars inlaid on the inner wall of the city wall above his head.

You don't need to ask to know that there are not many things that can be used here, and these spars must come from the bodies of some demon beasts, but it is definitely not an easy task to inlay these spars to such a high place.

At Ma Yilong's feet, it is slowly rising to the ground, although the slope is very small, but when you look around, the space in the city is still in the shape of a steamed bun, but this is more like a steamed bun that has been completely flattened.

After walking forward for only a hundred zhang, Ma Yilong and Liu Xinyuan couldn't help but be stunned at the same time, not far in front of them, there was a deep ditch nearly two zhang wide.

When they approached, everyone stopped their footsteps and looked down, and the ditch was four or five zhang deep, and there was no water in it at all. At the top of the deep ditch there is a narrow bridge that can be passed back and forth, and the bridge deck is actually built with the skeleton of a giant monster.

On the Qingyan Continent, in the area inhabited by the human race, many towns have moats outside the city, but Ma Yilong has never seen a deep ditch dug in the city. However, with Ma Yilong's cleverness, after thinking about it a little, he understood.

The thick wall gate is only the first barrier to block the water, if the water really rushes into the city, this gentle upward slope is the second barrier, and the deep ditch in front of you must be the third barrier.

"Wonderful!"

Ma Yilong glanced at it and clapped his hands in praise.

"What my brother said is that this was all designed by the predecessors in the past, and in such a world, it can really be described as extremely ingenious!" Huang Cheng replied with a smile when he heard the praise, paused slightly, and asked seemingly casually: "The two of you should be immortal cultivators, don't you know what to call them?"

"Under Ma Yilong, this is my wife Liu Xinyuan, we are indeed immortal cultivators, but our cultivation is all in the Qi refining period, it is not worth mentioning, I am afraid that I will not have a chance to go out again when I come here!" Ma Yilong smiled bitterly and replied lightly.

"It turned out to be Ma Daoyou and Liu Daoyou! It seems that we are really destined, and we were originally an immortal cultivator, but our cultivation is also pitiful, and it is not worth mentioning!" Huang Cheng smiled with a smile.

When he heard Ma Yilong say that he and Liu Xinyuan were both immortal cultivators, a bright light flashed in his eyes, although it was only a flash, but it did not escape Ma Yilong's keen observation.

"Look at me, I saw two Taoist friends from outside at once, I was just happy, the two of you should follow me into the city quickly!" Huang Cheng seemed to react suddenly, but as soon as he turned his head, he reprimanded the people who followed him on both sides: "How did you do it, didn't I tell you when I came here just now, this demon bone has cracked and needs to be removed and replaced with a new one! Why hasn't it been replaced, how can the two Taoist friends get over?"

"Elder Huang, this bridge ......"

As soon as a big man spoke, he was stopped by Huang Cheng waving his hand.

"Stupid grinning, what are you talking about!" Huang Cheng reprimanded the big man, turned his head to a young man with a smaller body and asked, "Tell me, how can you let the two Taoist friends go over now?"

"At first glance, it is clear that both of them are martial arts practitioners, how can this width be difficult to live in, elder, you are too worried!" The young man glanced at the dart bag and crossbow arrows hanging under Ma Yilong's ribs, and replied very smartly.

When Ma Yilong heard this, he sneered in his heart, he vaguely understood that the old man wanted to test his martial arts. To tell the truth, with Ma Yilong's light skills, he can jump more than two feet in the vertical leap to the heights, and it is not a problem to jump horizontally on the ground with Liu Xinyuan.

"Let the elder smile, I really can't get by! I practiced martial arts before entering the Dao, but the kung fu is really not very good, to say that jumping out of the ground is almost the same, this distance is too wide!" Ma Yilong knew that it was deliberately designed by Elder Huang Changchang, so he naturally didn't want to show it, so he deliberately showed weakness.

When Huang Cheng heard Ma Yilong's words, he smiled bitterly, winked at another young man who looked a little smarter, and ordered: "Hear it, hurry up and call someone to take the new bridge, don't let the two Taoist friends wait too long!"

"Returning to Elder, we haven't had time to tell you that this is the new bridge that we just built, and it has been replaced!" replied the young man, who was also very clever, bowed down.

"Say it earlier next time, you see this misunderstanding!" Huang Cheng reprimanded the young man, turned his head to Ma Yilong and smiled: "I'm really sorry, two Taoist friends should quickly cross the bridge with me!"

Ma Yilong smiled indifferently, did not expose the matter, and followed Huang Cheng across the beast bone bridge and went all the way forward.

After walking out for about half a mile, dense houses appeared in front of him, which was basically the same as the villages inhabited by mortals on the Qingyan Continent. Huang Cheng led the two to a separate small courtyard, arranged for the two to live here, and asked people to send some meat and fish and shrimp and other food of demon beasts, asking the two to rest well, and agreed to visit them in three days. After arranging all this, Huang Cheng left with people.

It's a detached house, and although there are only two adobe houses, no one will disturb you. Ma Yilong pulled Liu Xinyuan and pushed the door in, and in front of him was an outer room, which was empty, with nothing but a few large shells filled with clear water in the corner.

However, on the inner wall of the outhouse, there is a door that leads to the inner room, which is said to be a door, but in fact it is just a square entrance. The two of them stepped into the inner room, which was also empty, except for a clay kang with two animal skins on it, and nothing else in the room.

With Liu Xinyuan's weak body, even if Ma Yilong has carried it for so long, it is not easy to hold on until now, and he is relieved at the moment, and suddenly feels weak, Liu Xinyuan fell directly on the kang.

"I've been hungry for so long, don't rush to sleep yet, wait until I get you some meat to eat, and then go to sleep when you're full!" Ma Yilong looked at the tired Liu Xinyuan, felt pity, and reminded with a smile.

"Meat, there's no fire here, do you want me to eat it raw? That still makes me starve to death, it's hard to swallow even if you think about it!" Liu Xinyuan said with a frown.

"Isn't this fire?" Ma Yilong smiled bitterly, took out the fire fold from the cloth bag, shook it in front of Liu Xinyuan's eyes, and asked with a smile.

"It's really yours, as an immortal cultivator, you still have this on you!" Liu Xinyuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up excitedly, but he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh lightly: "Hey, it's useless to have fire, there is nothing to ignite fire here!"

Ma Yilong smiled bitterly, did not answer her words, took out the snow wolf skin from the cloth bag and spread it on the kang, then hugged Liu Xinyuan to it, let her lie down to rest, took away the original two animal skins, and went out. (To be continued.) )
