Lin Yi smiled helplessly, walked up, he heard the sound of weeds sounding from it, 'beep', it was obvious that some animals were there.

"Brother Lin Yi, go and take a look, there's a black thing there."

Qingqing hurriedly said, very curious but didn't dare to see what it was.

"Then I'll take a look."

Lin Yi slowly walked into the weeds.

The 'beep' cry became rapid.

Lin Yi slowly brushed aside the weeds, there was indeed a black animal, it was a black puppy, fluffy, curled up there, but its bark was very strange, it could only make a 'beep' sound, and when it saw Lin Yi, it barked even harder.

Lin Yi reached out to pick up the puppy, it turned out to be injured, the wound was on its left forelimb and body, a deep wound, and there was still blood.

The pup looked at him in fear, and the other three paws kept paddling, but with little strength, its injured forelimb was constantly shaking.

"It's a puppy."

Lin Yi handed it to Qingqing, Qingqing walked over cautiously, and when she saw this puppy, she couldn't help but be stunned, this puppy was fluffy and very cute.

Lin Yi said: "It was injured, if it was left here, it would definitely die." ”

Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "Brother Lin Yi, why don't we adopt it." ”

"Qingqing, do you like it?"

Qingqing nodded hurriedly.

"Hmm!"

Lin Yi smiled: "Then let's adopt!" ”

They bandaged the puppy's wounds, and there were healing medicines in the caravan, which were essential for the caravan to go out on a regular basis.

At first, the puppy kept struggling, grinning and wanting to resist, but later it became much more docile, and it seemed that it also knew that Lin Yi did not mean to harm it.

Lin Yi left some leftovers for the puppy, but it didn't have much appetite, and stopped after two bites, Qingqing had a flash of inspiration, saying that it was injured and needed to make up for it, so he gave a piece of demon beast meat, but he didn't expect the puppy to smell it and eat it in a big gulp.

Seeing this, the two also shared a lot of demon beast meat for the puppy.

Seeing this, Wang Zhi, who was on the side, twitched the corners of his eyes, it was the meat of a demon beast, it was wasted, and his heart ached.

Liu Chong looked at the dog, frowned, and said suspiciously: "What kind of dog is this, why haven't I seen it." ”

In fact, it's not just him, everyone present doesn't recognize this kind of dog, he hasn't seen it in his daily life, and he doesn't have it in books, even if he has some books that record the type of monsters, he hasn't seen such a dog.

Seeing the puppy gulping down the meat of the demon beast, the corners of Liu Chong's mouth couldn't help twitching: "It doesn't just eat the meat of the demon beast!" That will feed you. ”

Qingqing dropped another piece of demon beast's meat, shook his head and said, "No, it just needs to eat meat to make up for it." ”

Everyone was speechless for a while.

After this distance, it is close to the imperial city, and you can already see the palace of the imperial city, especially the towering black tower, which is said to be the temple of the oracle religion, and from a distance, you can see that the tower is pulled by sixteen chains, which are connected to the ground in all directions, and I don't know if it is a fixed role, or just a style of this building, just for the sake of beauty.

"It's the first time I've come to the Imperial City, and that tower is really big."

Qingqing couldn't help but admire.

Wang Zhi looked at Lin Yi and found that Lin Yi's eyes were also looking at the tower, so he introduced it with a smile.

"That's the temple of the Oracle Cult, I heard that it is a building that has been handed down since ancient times, and it is also the most well-preserved of the ancient buildings, probably the place where the gods lived."

"Oh? And this legend? ”

Lin Yi also became interested.

Wang Zhi smiled: "This is just people's speculation, the state religion has not confirmed, but the speculation is not reasonable, you see those sixteen chains, what do they look like?" ”

"Sky Lock?"

Liu Chong next to him blurted out.

Wang Zhi nodded: "Don't you think it's like it?" ”

Several people laughed one after another, and it was indeed very similar.

The oracle temple is unique, there is no resemblance to other buildings in the imperial city, and there is an ancient atmosphere everywhere, it is said that this temple was already here before the oracle appeared in this land, and I don't know how many years have passed, it is still as strong as a mountain.

When they crossed a hill, they saw an incomparably vast land, and a magnificent city sits there, several times larger than the Sky-based City.

This is the imperial city of the Oracle, the most magnificent city in the world.

To Lin Yi's surprise, the imperial city did not have a city wall, and the closer he got closer, he found that the oracle temple was really high, as if standing on the top of the temple could reach out and touch the heavenly lock.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's gaze fell on the sky above the Imperial City, where there were bustling black dots, orderly spread across the entire Imperial City's sky, too far away to see what it was.

When they reached the confines of the Imperial City, they looked up and found that they were not black spots, but black cloths, which stayed in the sky and fluttered in the wind, but never moved, as if these black cloths were meant to cover something.

"What's in those black cloths?"

Lin Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"That is the wall of the imperial city, it is a thing left by the gods, its function is to protect the safety of this imperial city, it is recorded in the doctrine of the oracle country, and it has always existed, and it has not been moved for so many years."

Wang Zhi said solemnly, with deep reverence in his eyes.

He added, "But no one knows what the Black Cloth is, for it has never been lifted." ”

"God, that's powerful!"

Liu Chong's eyes looked upwards and admired them deeply.

Qingqing's gaze aside, she looked at Lin Yi, she still remembered that Lin Yi once said that he thought that the so-called gods must be incredibly powerful people.

Lin Yi touched Qingqing's head and smiled: "Let's go!" ”

He could imagine that what was inside the black cloth must be extraordinary.

Without the help of any external force, he can stay in mid-air, and he has stayed for an unknown number of years, and people often refer to inexplicable things as divine objects, just like his large-character vein diagram, and the flaming sword he saw that night.

He believed there was just a power they hadn't yet mastered.

After entering the imperial city, Wang Zhi parted ways with Lin Yi, they were a caravan and needed to transport the goods to the hands of one client after another, and Lin Yi and they came for the assessment, so naturally they couldn't bother them anymore.

Before leaving, Wang Zhi told Lin Yi that they had a small stronghold in the imperial city, and told them that if they were free, they could go to them to catch up.

The Imperial City is full of people, and the degree of prosperity is much better than that of Tianji City, they walk on a street, some people shout and sell all kinds of goods, some sell items for daily needs, some meat stalls sell the meat of demon beasts, some shout to exchange spiritual silver at a high price, and even sell exercises.

Lin Yi smiled, how good can the exercises that can be sold by ordinary people be.

Every once in a while, there would be imperial guards patrolling on demon beasts, and when everyone saw it, they retreated one after another, and some merchants secretly gave them something to honor.

Every time the Imperial Guard walked a distance, a voice sounded: "I know that many of you are outsiders, and you have come to participate in the assessment of the National Religious Academy and the Royal Religious Field, but please be calm, don't do things in my territory, otherwise you will be deprived of your qualifications for the assessment." ”

There is still a month before the time for the assessment of the two major cultivation places, and during this month's time, Lin Yi and they can't go around, and they need to find a place to settle down, but after asking a few inns, they are silent, and the consumption here is very expensive.

Liu Chong smiled awkwardly: "You two don't expect me, my family is only a small family in Tianji City, and I don't have much money to bring out." ”

Qingqing pursed her lips: "We didn't say that we would ask you to have a treat." ”

The puppy in her arms also glared at Liu Chong angrily and barked.

Qingqing hurriedly stroked its head and signaled it not to lose its temper.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time, why don't we go find a casual job, and we can settle down for a month." ”

Liu Chong wanted to speak and stopped, he really didn't expect that with Lin Yi's outstanding talent, he would be willing to do casual work, shouldn't talented people be proud in their hearts.

As they walked, they suddenly saw a large number of people surrounding a gate in front of them, some of whom raised their hands and kept jumping, shouting: "I, I, choose me." ”

Lin Yi and the three of them also walked up, and there was a large piece of paper pasted outside the gate, with a big 'move' on it.

It turned out that this mansion was recruiting casual workers.

A voice sounded in the crowd: "Nie Mansion is recruiting, they must come, there is no family in the entire imperial city that can treat them better." ”

"That is, they are notoriously good at treating their subordinates, and they never punish them at every turn."

Another person said: "It's a pity, originally this was supposed to be the General's Mansion, since General Nie died in battle, they abandoned the army to engage in business, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Nie Mansion still has a very high status in the imperial city." ”

Lin Yi and the three of them squeezed into the crowd, and the piece of paper said that six people, three mortals, and three oracles were recruited, and the job was to sparring for a month.

The quota for the three mortal bodies is full, and there are still three oracles that have not been registered, and I think many oracles don't bother to do this kind of work.

Moreover, this oracle also has requirements, and it is necessary to open up more than three spiritual veins, but not more than five spiritual veins.

Lin Yi thought about it, and secretly took out a silver needle and sealed a spiritual vein in his left hand.

Liu Chong saw that Lin Yi really walked up, and his face didn't look good: "Brother Lin, are you really going?" ”

Lin Yi looked at him: "Brother Liu doesn't want to come?" If that's the case, I'll go with Qingqing. ”

Liu Chong's eyes showed a moment of struggle, and he said with a smile: "Where is it, I also want to go, but I was just a step faster by Brother Lin." ”

Under the leadership of Nie Fu Jiading, Lin Yi and the other three mortals came to a courtyard, where there was a large field, paved with bluestone, there was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy wielding a spear, his body opened five spiritual veins, the tip of the spear picked up a huge wooden stake in front of him, and the wooden stake exploded, and the sawdust flew everywhere.

Jia Ding bowed down and said, "Young master, the person you said you were looking for is here." ”

He turned his head to Lin Yi and whispered, "Call Young Master Nie Ping." ”

When the three mortals heard this, they hurriedly knelt down and shouted, "Young Master Nie Ping is good." ”

Seeing this, the family Ding hurriedly whispered: "Who told you to kneel, if you are seen by the head of the family, and say that our Young Master Nie Ping has bullied the mortal body, get up quickly, don't kneel at will in our mansion in the future, just bow down sincerely." ”

When the three mortals heard this, they were overjoyed in their hearts, Nie Mansion was really as rumored, and it was really good to the subordinates.

Nie Ping turned around, waved his hand and said, "If they kneel sincerely, let them be, I am an oracle and can afford it." ”

When the three mortals heard this, they hurriedly said: "Young Master Nie Ping, don't blame, we won't kneel, we won't kneel." ”

Nie Ping's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible unpleasantness, he glanced at the three of them, and his gaze fell on Lin Yi and the three.

Seeing this, Liu Chong bowed slightly: "Hello Young Master Nie Ping, I am Liu Chong of the Liu family, the head of Tianji City. ”

Nie Ping nodded and looked at Lin Yi again.

Lin Yi arched his hand and said, "Young Master Nie, my name is Lin Yi. ”

Qingqing behind her also leaned out half of her body nervously, she hugged the puppy in her arms tightly, and said cowardly: "Young Master Nie Ping, my name is Qingqing." ”

Nie Ping's eyes lit up, although this Qingqing was dressed ordinarily, his invisible temperament was very profound, his facial features were exquisite, and his green hair was particularly conspicuous, which was more flavorful than the daughters of the so-called big families.

"Miss Qingqing is also an oracle?"

Qingqing saw Nie Ping's gaze, and then leaned closer to Lin Yi, and her little hands tightly grasped the corners of Lin Yi's clothes.

Lin Yi smiled: "Qingqing, when people ask, it is polite to answer." ”

Qingqing relaxed a little at this time, she nodded, her little fist clenched, and suddenly opened the three spiritual veins, and her green hair was also fluttering unconsciously.

Nie Ping's eyes became brighter, and as he expected, this Qingqing was really a girl with outstanding talent, and her green hair turned out to be a divine body.

It's just that this girl's guts are a little small, he glanced at Lin Yi, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, why did this person intervene in the conversation between him and Qingqing.

Nie Ping turned around, threw the spear in his hand aside, and said: "In a month, I will go to participate in the assessment of the National Education Academy, and your task is to accompany me to learn, and those who can repel me will be rewarded." ”
