Chapter Twenty-Nine: Light Sources and Shadow Monsters
After Su Xing saw the celestial man walk away, he pulled off the corner of the clothes of a civilian beside him, and said in a low voice: "This benevolent brother, dare to ask the celestial man who passed by just now, what is the origin?" ”
The civilian was stunned.
He didn't answer Su Xing immediately, but just asked, "You're not from here?" ”
In Heicheng, outsiders like Su Xing don't seem to be uncommon.
Before Su Xing could speak, the civilian said again: "If I'm not mistaken, you should have fallen from the hole in the ground, right?" ”
This....
Seeing that the other party's tone was calm and there was no expression of surprise, Su Xing said with confidence: "Yes, I did fall from the ground.... Dare to ask, what the hell is this place? ”
"We're called the Black City here." The villager said, "Speaking of which, you didn't encounter the 'Dragon Sand Roll' along the way, so you are really lucky...."
Unlike Morotian.
This black city, located deep in the desert underground, is also shrouded in a spiritual light array, but it has countless exits.
The cave that Su Xing was forced to jump into to avoid the 'Dragon Sand Roll' was one of those many exits.
The reason why Heicheng did not seal the Spiritual Light Array was mainly because the people of Heavenly Court were not worried about the people and monks fleeing.
The environment on the surface above the Black City is harsh, and ordinary people can't go too far at all, and they will die of dehydration and high temperatures.
Besides.
There is also a strange thing called 'Dragon Sand Roll' in the desert, which is often haunted.
Whether it is a Qi cultivation or a foundation building period cultivator, anyone who encounters the 'Dragon Sand Scroll' is almost all dead.
Only a few people who are lucky enough not to meet the 'Dragon Sand Roll' can come to this black city by mistake.
Or leave the Black City.
How bad the environment on the surface of Heicheng is, and how difficult the 'Dragon Sand Roll' is to deal with, Su Xing has already understood it.
He was not very interested in this, but asked, "Brother, you have said so much, and you haven't told me what the people of heaven are." ”
In order to make the other party more cooperative, Su Xing did not forget to take out a few spirit coins from his pocket and hand them to the other party while asking.
After the latter took the spirit coin, his attitude was obviously more positive: "I heard what other people in the city said, and it may not be accurate." ”
"You just say it."
"The celestials in this black city seem to be all from the heavenly court."
"From heaven?"
Su Xing was taken aback when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "I see that the person just now obviously didn't have any cultivation, how could it be from heaven?" ”
"It didn't come from heaven." The civilian corrected, "It is said that these celestial beings are all descendants of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court. ”
In the world of cultivating immortals, not everyone has the qualifications to cultivate immortals.
If they want to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, the first thing that monks need is the 'Purple Mansion' that can accommodate spiritual power.
Generally speaking, for every ten people, on average, only one person will own the Purple Mansion.
And among those who have the Purple Mansion, those who can successfully sense Dao spiritual power are even rarer.
Nether mortals do.
Then in the Upper Heavenly Court, it must be no exception.
Therefore, the offspring born by immortals may have a noble status and noble status, but they may not necessarily have the qualifications to cultivate immortals.
These people who are unable to cultivate will be sent to the lower realm by the Heavenly Court, and over time, the current 'Heavenly People' group will be formed.
Whether the Celestial Beings are the descendants of the upper echelons of the Heavenly Court or not, no one can give a definite answer.
After all, the people of Heavenly Court hadn't shown up in the Nether for a long time.
But there is some news that everyone knows in the Black City:
First, there will be no countdown to the number of life in the chest of the celestial person, and it will not be affected by the number of life, let alone prolong the life by swallowing life pills.
Second, all celestials cannot cultivate, and they will not be killed by monsters of the 'Tan' type, nor will they be injured by any spells.
But fear of the sword.
Third, all celestial beings can only live to be 70 years old.
Hearing this, Su Xing had a general understanding of the so-called 'celestial man'.
He thought of the scene of the fat man riding in a wooden sedan chair before.
So he asked, "Since no one can say for sure whether the Heavenly Men are the descendants of the high-ranking Heavenly Court, then why do everyone still have to respect them?" ”
"This is the order of the city lord of the Black City."
The civilian said, "All those who offend the celestials will be wanted by the Black City City Lord's Mansion and hunted down by the monks of the entire Black City. ”
Boy!
Hearing this answer, Su Xing was not surprised.
If the Celestials are really the descendants of the high-level of the Heavenly Court, then it is reasonable that the Heavenly Court will take care of them in secret, and even give the Celestials some privileges.
Su Xing continued: "Dare to ask, are there vacant houses in this black city, where people can live?" ”
"Houses?"
The civilian was puzzled: "There are not many empty houses in this black city, as long as you have enough 'spiritual light charms', you can't live wherever you want." ”
This world is full of monsters and monsters.
And whether it is on the ground, in the air, or even underground, you can see the figures of monsters, and this black city itself is no exception.
In the black city, there is a strange thing that can ignore the terrain and freely shuttle through the walls and underground.
This weirdness is called a 'shadow monster'.
Shadow monsters are a type of 'Monster' that do not possess entities of their own.
They will actively attack humans and cannot be completely killed, and the only way to deal with them is to temporarily dispel them with a light source.
Therefore, the first thing a person must do if he wants to survive in the Black City is not to buy a house in the city.
Instead, you'll have to buy a 'Spiritual Talisman' first.
Torches and wood can also be used for lighting, but lighting an open flame is very expensive, and it is rarely done.
In the Black City.
The 'Spiritual Light Talisman' is to mortals no less than the lifespan medicine to monks.
In order not to be attacked by shadow monsters, in order to be able to buy 'aura talismans', mortals need to work hard in the black city, and work as cattle and horses for the high-level.
And in order to buy life-saving medicine and prolong their life, the monks also had to work day and night in the black city.
Only the celestials and a few high-ranking monks do not need to keep running around for the sake of life.
Hearing this, Su Xing couldn't help but touch the storage bag on his waist.
The 'spiritual light talisman' in the mouth of the common people is actually a very common talisman that monks use exclusively for lighting.
Su Xing always has some in his storage bag, so he doesn't need to worry about the light source in the past few days.
What he needed to do now was to find a more secluded place to live and settle down first.
Then find a way to find some Qi cultivators, and find a way to sell them the life pills that they have refined themselves, so that they can continue to improve their strength.
As for how to get in touch with the Qi cultivation period monks....
Thinking of this, Su Xing said to the civilian: "Finally, let me ask you a question, where should monks like us go if they want to find some work to do?" ”
"Go to the construction site."
Seeing Su Xing's confused expression, the civilian explained: "There is a spirit stone vein in Heicheng, and almost all the monks in the city are working there, as long as you go, you will definitely be able to stay." ”
Lingshi veins?
After hearing these four words, Su Xing's eyes showed a hint of deep thought.
Only a very small number of the spiritual light arrays in this world were built by the powerful ones among the monks.
And most of them are the handiwork of Heavenly Court.
Heavenly Court will spend a lot of effort to arrange the spiritual light array in the depths of the ground in this desert, and there must be a certain reason.
And now it seems that the reason why Heavenly Court established the Black City underground is for that spirit stone vein?
Thinking of this, Su Xing's heart couldn't help but become hot.
The so-called horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.
Rather than secretly selling life pills, slowly accumulating wealth, and going straight to rob .... It is obviously faster to get the spirit stones in a wave of spirit stone veins.
Plundering the poor, Su Xing had no interest in it.
But if he went to rob the wealth that belonged to Heavenly Court, then Su Xing would be very interested.
He planned to go to the spirit stone vein and act at the same time as secretly selling life pills.
