Chapter 55: The City of the Occult Sun
As soon as Ye Yousheng entered Yangping City, he saw an acquaintance.
"Ye Daoyou! What a coincidence! Tang Yan walked over from the crowd and greeted him warmly.
Ye Yousheng was stunned for a moment: "Tang Daoyou? ”
The last time I saw Tang Yan, it was at the end of the first stage of the audition, he won the first place, and Tang Yan came to congratulate him. Among the hundred Qi Refining Stage cultivators who entered the next stage of the competition, Tang Yan ranked ninety-nine, and passed the competition very thrillingly and entered the next round.
"I haven't seen you for a month, but I didn't expect Ye Daoyou to have already built a foundation." Tang Yan's tone was envious.
Ye Yousheng was a little embarrassed to be praised: "It's just good luck ......"
"There is no luck in this kind of thing, Ye Daoyou, don't be modest." Tang Yan changed the topic, "When the game starts and I enter the secret realm, do you want Ye Daoyou to act with me?" ”
"Huh? Yes. Ye Yousheng agreed.
He didn't care if he had teammates with him, but when he was in the medical hall before, Tang Yan smeared his senior sister in front of him like that, it was very likely that he was instructed by the Imperial Fire Gate, and he had to keep a more cautious distance from Tang Yan to maintain the current relationship, so that he could not be used by Tang Yan, but also get evidence from him that they wanted to harm his senior sister.
Tang Yan naturally didn't know what Ye Yousheng was thinking, but when he had initially trusted himself, he decided to add more fire: "After this competition, if Ye Daoyou is not in a hurry to go back, do you want to come to our fire gate to have a look?" I also said to Ye Daoyou last time, when you get better, it's been a month. ”
"......" Ye Yousheng pretended to think for a while, and then was embarrassed, "But, my senior sister ......"
"Ye Daoyou, you are also a monk in the foundation building period, so you don't have to listen to your senior sister for everything." Tang Yan simply hated that iron could not become steel.
"You're right." Ye Yousheng followed his words, "Then when the game is over, I will come to visit, I just hope it won't disturb you." ”
Tang Yan breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly: "Don't worry! Our sect is the most hospitable, you are a distinguished guest, we will never neglect you. ”
Guest?
Ye Yousheng keenly captured this description, and said without changing his face: "Then there is Lao Tang Daoyou." ”
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, exchanged their recent cultivation experiences, and walked to Qianyuan Sect together.
They were already late, and by the time they arrived at the Qianyuan Sect, the monks who participated in the competition had almost arrived.
In the second stage of the audition this time, none of the other sect masters came, only Shen Qifeng, as the host, was still in charge.
He sat on the top and glanced down, and after confirming that everyone was there, he glanced at the referee next to him. The referee suddenly understood, cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "This secret realm competition is about to start, let's announce the rules first." ”
"In the secret realm, ten small flags will be randomly placed, and a projection will be displayed on the person who gets the flag, telling everyone in the secret realm the location of the person holding the flag. And if someone else is snatched from the flag, it will not be displayed. In the end, the person holding the flag reaches the highest point in the secret realm to win, and the secret realm does not limit the time, and the game will not end until all ten flags have been brought to the highest point. ”
"In the secret realm, if there is danger, you can crush the token and teleport to an absolutely safe place, but during the whole game, you can only stay in it for two hours. There are no restrictions on any behavior in the competition, and those who have objections can now withdraw voluntarily. ”
After the referee finished speaking, he waited for a while, and saw that no one wanted to quit, so he clapped his hands.
With a roar, a deep trench cracked in the open space in front of everyone, and a huge gate that towered into the sky slowly rose from the ground and appeared in front of everyone.
"So, now the game is officially underway!"
The referee's voice fell, and the monks ran straight to the giant door. Ye Yousheng and Tang Yan were in the middle of the crowd, and when they passed through that door, a white light obscured Ye Yousheng's vision.
By the time the white light dissipated, Ye Yousheng was already standing on a small hill.
"Is this the secret realm?" Ye Yousheng looked around and didn't see the other monks who came in to compete.
It seems that the door is dividing them all.
I don't know any clues about the flag yet, so I can only look around first. Although it is safer to wait until someone else gets it to grab it, there will be no hint. Or simply find the highest point to guard first, and then go directly to grab the flag when someone comes.
Both methods are safer than getting the flag first.
Ye Yousheng understands this truth, but he doesn't care if An is safe.
On the contrary, he got the flag first, although it would attract others, but it was also a free opportunity for him to practice. Not long after he built the foundation, there was only the senior sister who was around him, but the senior sister had a hand injury, and he couldn't practice with the senior sister without distraction, so until now, he had not fought against a monk with the same cultivation.
Among the one hundred and thirty people this time, counting those who have recently built the foundation, there are at least thirty monks in the foundation building period, and there will definitely be people who are confident that they can snatch the flag, as long as he gets the flag, he will not worry that no one will come to the door.
After thinking about the situation, Ye Yousheng released his spiritual power to probe and walked towards the place where the spiritual power fluctuated the most.
Although he told Tang Yan that he wanted to go together before coming in, it was Tang Yan who was anxious to go with him, not him. If Tang Yan really had another purpose, then he would definitely find a way to find him.
Ye Yousheng walked over along the fluctuations of spiritual power, but saw the towering city wall from a distance.
Is there anyone alive in the secret realm? He thought that there were only monks in this secret realm who were competing with them.
Ye Yousheng hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
If there are other people, ask them, and you might be able to find a clue to the flag.
I couldn't see anything from a distance, but when I got closer, it was like the fog in front of him was suddenly lifted, and Ye Yousheng found that there were already many people around.
They all looked familiar, and they didn't seem to notice Ye Yousheng's abnormality, and they also greeted Ye Yousheng enthusiastically: "This little brother also came to our Occult City to watch the grand ceremony, look at your face, is it the first time to come?" ”
"Hmm." Ye Yousheng nodded stunned.
"Haha, little brother, don't be nervous." The person who greeted him was a middle-aged man who looked very kind, "I see that you have already built a foundation when you are still young, and you secretly ran out of the house to play." Don't worry, our people in the city of the sun are the most welcoming guests, and you will follow me for the next few days to ensure that your trip is worthwhile. ”
"Thank you, senior." Ye Yousheng chose to accept his kindness.
He didn't know if there were any hidden rules here, and it would be nice if someone was willing to take him.
"What do you call the little brother? My name is Zhou Zhirong, and I am a disciple in the city of the sun. ”
"Ye Yousheng, I've been relying on Senior Zhou for the past few days." Ye Yousheng said politely.
"It's all trivial." Zhou Zhirong waved his hand indifferently.
He took Ye Yousheng to the city, and as he walked, he also introduced: "We have to hold a grand ceremony every fifty years, and we are grateful that the Occult Sun Sect can let us live happily in this land." ”
Ye Yousheng had read the "List of Xingzhou Sects" and the "Collection of Subordinate Sects of the Six Dao Alliance, Seventh Edition" in Tianyi Sect, and none of them had a sect called "Covering the Sun Sect". And a sect that can be named after a city cannot be nameless.
It seems that the things in the secret realm are only conjured up by Qianyuanzong for the competition.
"That Occult Sun Sect must be very powerful, and it can be named directly after the name of the city." I heard Zhou Zhirong say just now that he was a disciple of the Sun Covering Sect, so Ye Yousheng followed his words and praised the Sun Covering Sect.
Zhou Zhirong smiled and said, "Little brother, you can't say that anymore after you enter the city." ”
Ye Yousheng was puzzled: "Why is this?" ”
"The Occult Sect is not named after the city, but for the city to change its name." Zhou Zhirong's tone was full of admiration, "Everything we have now is brought by the Sun Occultation Sect. ”
It seems that this place is different from Xingzhou, they have an extraordinary worship for the Sun Covering Sect, which far exceeds the sense of belonging of the Xingzhou monks to their own sect.
Ye Yousheng secretly wrote down this point and reminded himself not to violate the taboo again: "It's because I don't understand the rules and said the wrong thing, and I hope the seniors will forgive me." ”
"Where is it so serious." Zhou Zhirong was dissatisfied, "We don't have so many rules in the city of the sun, I'm just afraid that you will enter the city and say this sentence in vain, and you don't know the reason." Little brother, seeing that you are cautious like this, the rules must be very strict in the place where you used to live, no wonder you have to sneak out to play. ”
Ye Yousheng recognized this character, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.
In the past, Heng Mingzhi always said that he looked stupid and easy to deceive, especially in front of Qin Zhen. Now he thinks it's good, at least others see him as simple and easy to deceive, and they won't be overly wary of him.
The walls of the city are very different from the walls of Xingzhou.
The city wall of Xingzhou belongs to the type that seems to be very deterrent, but here in the city of the sun, no matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary city wall, Ye Yousheng estimates that this city wall can only be protected against mortals, and it is easy for a slightly more powerful monk to enter the city.
Zhou Zhirong saw his doubts and explained: "We don't have that kind of thing in the Hidden Sun City, everyone who comes is a guest, and those who are willing to come to the Hidden Sun City are our good brothers." Between brothers, how can they be defended by city walls. It's just that this city wall was built by the former mortal city lord, and our suzerain received his favor, so he kept this wall as a memorial. ”
Has the Sect Master of the Hidden Sun Sect received the favor of mortals?
Ye Yousheng had more questions in his heart.
The sect master who can become such a big sect guarding one side must be the most powerful group of monks, what do you need to be helped by mortals?
But this time he kept his doubts to himself.
"Does the little brother have a place to stay these days? If you can, come and stay at my house. Zhou Zhirong warmly invited.
"This ...... Wouldn't it be too intrusive. Ye Yousheng was surprised.
No matter how hospitable you are, you don't just want to invite someone you meet for the first time to live in your own home.
"To be honest, I actually see that my little brother has good qualifications, and I want to say a few more words to my little brother. I know that the little brother has his own sect or family, but we don't care about this, as long as you want, I can introduce you to the sect master, you don't have to leave the original place, you can also join us. Zhou Zhirong explained.
Can it still be like this?
Ye Yousheng was shocked.
Under Zhou Zhirong's enthusiastic gaze, Ye Yousheng reluctantly said for a long time: "I, I'll think about it again." ”
If Senior Sister knew that he was going to join another sect, even if it was just a fake illusion, Senior Sister would be unhappy.
Speaking of which, I haven't reported my safety to my senior sister when I arrived in Yangping City. Ye Yousheng's hand subconsciously rubbed the communication jade handle in his arms, but he didn't expect it to be empty.
His hands froze, and memories of leaving in a hurry before leaving became clearer in his mind.
Worst! He didn't come out with the Messenger Jade Handle!
Will the senior sister already be out of the customs and send a message to herself? If she hadn't received her reply, would she have thought he was cautious and had a temper tantrum?
