Chapter 144: Wufan City (2)
Optical mirage, in this geographical environment, is not impossible.
"We've been walking for so long, and we haven't seen half a figure, or a camel or anything, how can there suddenly be a city?" Hairpin looked at him: "It's a little strange." ”
Tian Fangfang clenched the Qianyang axe on her waist: "It can't be the devil's lair, right?" ”
"I've never heard of the devil's lair in the desert," Mendong wondered, "It's too remote." ”
Meng Ying looked at the vague city in the distance, and said lightly: "Whether it is the demonic lair or the mirage, we can't stay where we are all the time, it is better to continue to move forward, if it is a mirage, then go over it, if it is the demonic lair, then act at the opportunity, it is better to walk aimlessly here." ”
"Not bad." Mu Jiexiao immediately agreed: "If it's really a demonic lair, don't be afraid of anything. How could the disciples of the Taiyan Sect be greedy for life and afraid of death, and they just took the blood of those demons to sacrifice my god-destroying sword. He said confidently, quite the demeanor of the protagonist, Hairpin Xing was about to applaud him twice in his heart, Mu Jiexiao looked at her again, "Besides, the junior sister now has the inheritance of the Qinghua Fairy, and those demons are not her opponents." Maybe you can find the person behind the silver mirror and destroy the evil thing Xiaoyuan Zhu. ”
Hairpin Star: "...... You've really lifted me up. ”
"Senior sister, don't be presumptuous." Meng Ying also followed: "You are the 'destined person' of the fairies back then, and you can finally save the lives of the people in the world, and those demons must be the most feared by you, this is destiny." ”
Hairpin sighed greatly in her heart, Destiny destined her to die in less than two thousand words, what she is doing now is changing her life against the sky, Destiny is not so friendly to her, but this can not be said to others.
Gu Baiying frowned: "Have you finished speaking, hurry up and leave when you are done." Even if it's a mirage, if you say a few more words, the scenery will be gone. ”
"Uncle Shi, do you want to keep going?" Tian Fangfang asked.
Gu Baiying stared at the city in the distance and snorted, "Of course, the more strange it is, the more you have to find out." Besides," he glanced at Tian Fangfang: "Do you think there is any other way out now?" ”
Not really. The Yuan Force in their bodies is losing more and more, and if they continue like this, they will become exactly the same as ordinary people. In this way, you will be hungry, tired, and thirsty, and before you can get out of this desert, you will die here due to the lack of water.
The dignified monks, including the proud son of heaven in the sect, were trapped and died because they got lost in the desert, and it was really humiliating to say it.
Everyone hit it off and decided to walk in the direction of the city.
This place does not seem to be far away, only a few miles away, but in fact it has been another hour, and there are still no people along the way, and the golden sand under his feet is soft and dry, which is different from the clean and moist sand of the sea west of the country. It's like a golden boundless swamp, and at some point, it will pull people down into the bottomless abyss.
It's getting closer and closer to the city.
The figures of those walking around are also becoming clearer, and you can even see the wide and bustling streets, as well as the cattle and sheep led by the shepherds. There was a cacophony in the distance, as lively as a market.
Does the mirage have sounds? Hairpin can't remember. And Mendong is already excited.
"It's not a mirage, it's real!" The child jumped three feet high, and the pink headband looked a little more flying than just now, and he said, "I see people, this is really a city!" ”
"Maybe it's the devil's lair." Hairpin poured cold water on him: "Be careful to take you away." ”
"If I want to catch you, I will arrest you first." Mendong puffed out his cheeks and stared at her angrily: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, you are a person with an inheritance, of course they will catch you first." ”
Hairpin Star: "......"
Meng Ying said: "It's here." ”
Hairpin looked up at him.
It is an ancient city.
It is said to be ancient because the wall tiles on the city wall are already very mottled, some have thick moss, and some have been eroded by wind and rain, as if they have existed for thousands or hundreds of years.
The gates are heavy and wide grey stones, with portraits carved on them, depicting women in a long dress of woven gold and naked jade feet. The soft long hair is like a wave of the sea, hanging casually on the shoulders, the makeup is rich, and the eyes are beautiful. He holds a cyan snake in his left hand and a red snake in his right hand. The snakes are cold and treacherous, but the beauties are warm and gorgeous, intertwined with each other, with their own charming style, and the hearts of those who watch them are rippling.
"It's so pretty." Tian Fangfang praised sincerely.
The hairpin asked rhetorically, "Is there one?" I think of programs like "Beauty and Snake" on the grass stage team when I was a child.
"I think it's good-looking, too." Mendong pouted: "You just look at other people's beauty and jealousy." ”
Hairpin Star: The thoughts of "......" men are always a little inscrutable.
"Look at the writing on the gates." Fortunately, there was also a man who was not shaken by the beauty, Mu Dixiao, pointed to the front and said, "It's different from the usual." ”
Further up the stone gate, there are also carved some various snakes, and the black characters carved in the center seem to be suspended in the air, and the whole thing is prominent. The glyph is also different from the usual, both flat and long, and the color is a deep black, which makes it more and more strange and mysterious.
"Wu Fan ....." Meng Ying read out the words above in a low voice: "Wu Fan City." ”
"Wufan City?" The hairpin was stunned for a moment.
"Do you know Wufan City?" Mu Jiexiao looked at her.
"I saw a book of "Surprise! One Hundred Fantasy Stories You Don't Know in the Immortal Cultivation Realm". Hairpin said: "The guardian of this city...... It's the Snake Witch. ”
"Snake Witch?" Tian Fangfang was shocked: "Isn't that the silver chestnut ......?"
"Yes, the one who made the deal with Yinli was the snake witch of the snake witch clan, and it is said that the people of the snake witch clan can communicate the heavenly realm and the human world, and they are a group that is outside the three realms. Legend has it that the city they guarded was called Wufan City, but no one had ever seen what Wufan City looked like, and it was never recorded in the map of the capital. Hairpin looked in the direction of the city gate: "It turns out that this is Wufan City." ”
"Uncle Shi," Meng Ying looked at Gu Baiying, who was speechless, "Do you want to go in?" ”
Gu Baiying clenched the silver spear in his hand and said, "Of course you have to enter." Fu also reminded: "You follow me, don't take it lightly. ”
Such a legendary city suddenly appeared in the barren desert, and you have to be careful. After all, in that fantasy story, there was no specific mention of the temperament of the people in Wufan City, what rules and taboos there were, in case they accidentally annoyed them, it would be good if something happened.
As he got closer, he realized that this legendary city was no different from an ordinary city. Looking in from the city gate, there is a long road, and on both sides of the road are various hotel vendors, which at first glance looks not much different from Pingyang Town. The only difference is that it is about the reason for the heavy wind and sand, the people here are wearing long black robes, the black robes are embroidered with complex and bright patterns, wearing various colored cloth headscarves, and colorful beads hanging on the chest, which looks a kind of simple romance.
There were two guards with swords standing at the gate of the city, also wearing black robes, colorful cloth scarves, and some dark skin. Dare to trespass on Wufan City! ”
Gu Baiying raised his eyebrows: "Passerby." ”
He didn't take a snack in this answer, it was like a provocation, and Mu Jiexiao on the side stepped forward and said, "We are disciples of the Taiyan Sect in Duzhou, and we accidentally entered this place by mistake due to an error in the teleportation array. Please let you go, and we will go into the city for one night's rest and leave tomorrow. ”
His attitude was much better than that of Gu Baiying just now, but when the two guards heard this, their faces did not soften, but they glanced at each other, and their tones were still stiff and vigilant: "What is the Taiyan faction in Duzhou, I haven't heard of it!" Wufan City doesn't take in outsiders, so hurry up. ”
"How could you not have heard of it?" Mendong was anxious: "Taiyan faction, the only Yushan saint who has ascended in Duzhou is our founding sect leader, Yushan saint has always heard of it, right?" ”
"I've never heard of this name," said the other guard coldly, "Hugh is going to mess around, get out of here quickly, or don't blame us for being rude." ”
"Oh?" Gu Baiying slammed the embroidered bone spear to the ground, and looked at the two of them defiantly: "What kind of unkind method are you going to do?" ”
The atmosphere was suddenly tense.
Tian Fangfang leaned over to Gu Baiying's side and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi, those who know the times are Junjie, we have lost a lot of Yuan Li now, and what kind of Raush snake demon clan is here, so don't fight with them." ”
“...... It's the Snake Witch. Hairpin corrected him.
"It doesn't matter if he's a snake demon or a banshee, anyway, the situation has changed now, and we can't fight like before."
While he was pulling, he suddenly heard a voice from behind him, with a little hesitation: "...... Brother Tian? ”
When they looked back, they saw a little girl with a basket on her back standing not far from the city gate, this little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a black shirt and a flower tube skirt, the dress was embroidered with small peach-pink flowers, and a silver collar hung around her neck. She was young, and instead of wearing a headcloth like an adult, she wore a black braid hanging down her chest. Although the complexion is a little dark, it is apricot eyes and nose, pretty and cute, with two shallow dimples on the cheeks, and it is really a beautiful embryo.
Tian Fangfang was stunned for a moment before asking tentatively: "...... Little beans? ”
When the little girl named "Little Bean" heard this, she immediately bent her eyes, she ran over to this side, and ran to Tian Fangfang in one breath, her face was full of unexpected joy: "Brother Tian, it's really you!" ”
"Senior brother," Meng Ying frowned: "This is ......"
Tian Fangfang said with a smile: "This is my fellow villager, who used to send me steamed buns, called Dou Niang." However," he looked at the little girl with some confusion: "Little Bean, why are you here?" ”
"I live in this city now." Dou Niang smiled: "Senior Brother Tian, do you want to enter the city?" ”
"I ....."
"yes." Without waiting for Tian Fangfang to finish speaking, Gu Baiying interrupted him, he bent down and stared at the little girl, the corners of his mouth hooked: "It's a pity that the guards won't let me in, what should I do?" ”
