Chapter Seventy-Three: Sand City

"Did you find anything?" Song Shiyin asked in a low voice.

Du Yunxi nodded, and then said, "When we first came here, there were already quite a few monks, and when they saw that the city gate could not be opened, they wanted to try to break in."

"Someone soars into the air until they reach beyond the height of the wall, but no matter which direction they try to enter, they are bounced open by the invisible barrier above."

"This road doesn't work, so they think of other ways, they want to look at other places in Sand City to look for clues, but once they leave a certain range of the city gate, their figure will disappear."

"There are also people who don't want to waste time here and turn away, but no matter how long they walk, they still can't leave a certain range of the city gate, and in the end they can only come back with a gloomy face."

"Looks like this is the next trial we must participate in." Zhuo Guang said in a deep voice.

"Have the gates changed since you came here?" After a little thought, Song Shiyin asked again.

Du Yunxi shook his head: "No, we have been here for a long time, and we still don't know if the city gate will be opened, or what conditions will be triggered."

"Then we'll have to wait like this for now."

Du Yunxi nodded, sighed again, and even sighed with the others.

A quarter of an hour passed after about a touch, and many monks arrived one after another, but there was still no Bian Tingyu and them, and Song Shiyin couldn't help but be a little worried.

She stuck her head out, staring at the clearing at the city gate.

Unexpectedly, a person appeared there in the next moment, Song Shiyin's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly shouted, "Tingyu!"

Bian Tingyu followed the sound and looked over, and when she saw that it was Song Shiyin, her face was instantly filled with a smile, she grinned at the corners of her mouth, rushed over in three or two steps, and hugged Song Shiyin in her arms.

"Ten tones! It's you, you're all here." Bian Tingyu raised her head and looked at the rest of the team around her.

"Yes, it's just you, how's that? Are you alright?" Du Yunxi also smiled, she asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, we're fine, yes, I'm going to introduce you to two new friends." Bian Tingyu came out of Song Shiyin's arms, and then beckoned Sun Yao behind him to come over quickly.

Song Shiyin and the others looked towards the gate of the city, in addition to the two brothers Sun Yao and Sun Xiao, there were also two male cultivators who followed them.

The four of them talked and laughed, and they seemed quite intimate.

Several people met with the team, and Bian Tingyu introduced the two sides: "These two are also two brothers, they are two body cultivators of the Thousand Days Degree, the elder brother is Lei Linghe, named Yu Chi Muyi, and the younger brother is Feng Linggen, called Yu Chi Jianian."

Yu Chi Muyi chuckled, and then said, "Everyone, you are friendly!"

He was tall, about the same size as Zhuo Guang, but not as muscular as the other physiques, and he had a handsome face and a smile on his lips.

You can tell the personalities of the two at a glance, Yu Chi Muyi is more polite and detached, and just said a good word, but his younger brother Wei Chi Jianian is very enthusiastic and greets everyone warmly.

"Hello Du Daoyou, I heard Sun Yao mention you."

"You're Song Daoyou, right? Hello, hello."

After greeting each other, they agreed to act together in the future, and the two brothers decisively agreed.

The conversation here was very pleasant, and Tingyu over there pulled Song Shiyin and whispered, "We met them in the underground space, Mu Yi is very smart, and most of us can come out by him."

"Sun Yao and Jia Nian have a very compatible temperament, they almost hate each other, they start to call each other brothers as soon as they come up, they don't have teammates, they are two brothers who act together all the year round, we discussed it, and we simply pulled them together."

Song Shiyin nodded to show that he understood, and also told Bian Tingyu about their experience and the current situation at the city gate.

More and more monks gathered, but the gates still did not open, and some of the monks had begun to become impatient, pacing from side to side, looking impatient.

The team also talked about the city gates.

"This

Will the gates be opened or not?" Sun Yao scratched his head, a little puzzled.

"It's going to be open." Wei Chi Jianian stood next to Sun Yao and replied casually.

"Why?" Hearing this, Sun Yao was also a little curious, after all, it was the first time he came to the secret realm.

"Didn't you notice? Every monk who comes out of the underground space will go to the gate, and the monks who come to the city gate will never be able to leave, which shows that this is the training ground that all monks must participate in the secret realm."

"It's not open now, it's just because the conditions haven't been met, generally speaking, it may be the number of people, it may be the time, and some are more special, such as someone must have found the clue to open it." Wei Chi Jianian explained.

"I see, you know a lot about Carnival." Sun Yao nodded, looking at Yu Chi Jianian excitedly.

"Where? It's just because I've participated in the secret realm a few times before, and if you want to know more, it's my brother who is more powerful."

Hearing this, Yu Chimu's face did not change, and he still maintained that smile.

Indeed, as Wei Chi Jiannian said, after a quarter of an hour, there was finally movement at the city gate.

The gate hummed, and it vibrated and moved slowly in both directions, and a lot of dust drifted down from it, inhaling it into its nose and causing it to cough.

Song Shiyin fanned the dust flying everywhere in front of her eyes with her hand, and when she raised her eyes, after the city gate was opened, the empty street was revealed.

Many monks rushed in impatiently, but as soon as they entered, their figures disappeared instantly, and the decorations left behind looked at each other, but it didn't take long for them to make up their minds and step in.

"Let's go too." Wen Yu said.

The team walked side by side towards the city gate, and in order to avoid being separated again, they decided to pull the corner of the previous person's clothes.

Song Shiyin was Zhuo Guang in front of him, and Bian Tingyu was in the back, one in front of the other, and passed through the city gate.

The sky swirled for a while, the scene changed, and after it stabilized, Song Shiyin saw that she and Zhuo Guang were in a small hole.

There were many people next to him, who were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were all dressed thinly, and with just one glance, Song Shiyin could tell that they were not monks.

So at this time, are you entering another fantasy world? Song Shiyin and Zhuo Guang glanced at each other and did not make a sound.

Song Shiyin quietly stretched out her hand, wanting to gather spiritual power, but found that it was in vain, she was a little surprised, tried again, but still failed.

The dantian was calm, and she couldn't feel the presence of spiritual power.

She gently pulled the corner of Zhuo Guang's clothes, pointed to her dantian, shook her head, Zhuo Guang over there raised her eyebrows, and then tried, the same as her.

Song Shiyin felt a little bad, this illusion seemed to be more dangerous, they could still deal with it in the first few places, but here, they had lost their spiritual power, how could they protect themselves in the face of danger?

The next moment, someone came down from above, and Song Shiyin looked up, only to find that there was an entrance and exit above their heads.

It was a middle-aged woman, her face was rough, as if it had been caused by frequent weather, and her hair was neatly coiled on the top of her head.

Seeing Song Shiyin and the two, she was obviously a little puzzled: "Whose child are you?"

Song Shiyin was stunned, she didn't know how to answer, so she simply lowered her head and didn't speak.

Seeing her like this, the woman over there sighed, "In this situation, people leave every day."

After finishing speaking, she cheered up again, swept her eyes over all the teenagers and girls, and admonished, "Children, stay here well, don't make a sound, and don't go out no matter what movement comes from above, you know?"

The other children raised their eyes and nodded, and then lowered their heads again, and Song Shiyin and Zhuo Guang did the same, trying to make their sense of existence drop again and again.

After finishing speaking, the woman left in a hurry, and only Song Shiyin and Zhuo Guang were left in the entire cave, as well as the group of teenagers and girls.

They were all silent, their heads bowed, and even their breathing was shallow, if they didn't notice it carefully, they were afraid that it was

I can't find that there are still people in this cave.

Song Shiyin was a little curious, he gestured to Zhuo Guang with his eyes, and Zhuo Guang nodded.

So she quietly poked the little sister next to her, the little sister stared at her with big eyes, and Song Shiyin opened her mouth to speak.

But the little sister suddenly put her index finger to her lips, shushed, and then lowered her head in silence.

Song Shiyin was stunned for a moment, a little helpless, turned his head to look at Zhuo Guang, Zhuo Guang thought for a while, shook his head, and pointed to the top of his head.

Song Shiyin understood, she understood the meaning of the light, the two of them first watched the changes, acted according to the woman's instructions just now, and did not act rashly.

The two of them also restrained their breathing, and for a while, the entire cave became quieter, and Song Shiyin waited quietly like this, until a sound suddenly came from overhead.

The sound of a jingling bell was like something shattering to the ground, and then there was the angry scolding of the man and the screaming of the woman.

Listening to the voice very similar to the woman who had just come in, Song Shiyin turned his head to see the reactions of the young people on the left and right.

The little sister next to her had begun to tremble uncontrollably, she covered her mouth and tried her best to endure it, so that she did not cry, but tears kept falling from her eyes. new

Song Shiyin looked a little distressed, she held her little sister in her arms, patted her shoulder and comforted her.

There are many people with their eyes closed, their teeth clenched to their lips, and their faces in pain.

It lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the sound from above did not end, after which the woman did not make a sound again, followed by the sound of footsteps walking around.

Song Shiyin could feel that the little sister in her arms was even more nervous, and she trembled more violently, especially whenever the footsteps were near.

The other children are not much better, but the older ones are protecting the younger ones.

The footsteps gradually stopped, and the children present were all relieved, their clothes were already wet with sweat and clinging to their bodies.

They raised their heads, and Song Shiyin had a chance to observe their appearance, in addition to their thin clothes, every child was yellow and thin, thin in stature, and looked malnourished.

There are few with dark hair, basically yellow like withered grass, and their lips are chapped and only a pair of large eyes are moist.

But they only raised their heads for a moment, and then lowered their heads again, just not knowing what the children here had been through.

Even Song Shiyin thought that the man above his head had left, but the next moment, there was a huge cracking sound suddenly.

The little sister in Song Shiyin's arms was startled, she trembled violently, and then she trembled uncontrollably, and tears kept pouring out.

Song Shiyin hugged her tightly, and could hear her heartbeat beating wildly.

Overhead, the sound of overturning things kept ringing, the sound of shattering, colliding, and falling to the ground, all of which showed how eager the person who caused all this was and how irritable his temper was.

The children were under tremendous mental pressure, and Song Shiyin turned his head to see that several children were already lying on their sides and curled up on the ground, holding their knees with their hands, trembling all over.

The voice above was still continuing, and Song Shiyin was now in a completely passive state, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know what she was going to do.

This situation is very disadvantageous for them, and if they unknowingly take the wrong path, it will affect whether they can successfully leave later.

The reality of the situation did not allow Song Shiyin to think too much, and a light suddenly came from above his head. The entrance to the cave was discovered by the man.

He poked his head out, it didn't look like a normal person at all, or there was a good chance he wasn't human.

Song Shiyin couldn't understand what he was talking about, she only knew that these children were obviously very afraid.

The moment he appeared, he supported the ground with both hands, kept retreating, and everyone gathered in the corner, next to each other, including the little sister in Song Shiyin's arms, who also left her and returned to her companions.
