Chapter 570: The City of the Void
It took Yun Xi and Chenxi and their party more than a month to finally rush to a small city called Flower City, which is the closest to the Sky City.
When he arrived at the gate of Huacheng City, Yun Xi looked at everyone and said: "After we enter Huacheng, we will first find a place to live, and rest first today, and from tomorrow, we will start investigating from Huacheng to see if we can get any clues." ”
"I agree with this, we don't know anything about the details of the 'Empty City' right now, and it's really not a wise move to rush in. Dawn shrugged and spoke. The others nodded approvingly.
After the group reached an agreement, Yun Xi and Chen Xi directly led a few people into the flower city. Although the flower city is not big, but it is worthy of its name, the main road leading to the city gate is planted with flowers and trees on both sides, at this time it is full of flowers, with the breeze blowing, the petals in the sky fly and circle, it is very beautiful. The streets are bustling with people and a variety of flowers-based pastries, drinks and accessories. The whole flower city exudes a faint floral fragrance, which makes people smell very comfortable. The paths along the main road are paved with stone slabs like in other cities, and here the paths are green with grass and flowers. Even the buildings in the city are covered with all kinds of flowers and plants, and the whole flower city is a veritable sea of flowers.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful town! Even the air has a very comfortable and warm feeling, it's so nice here! Hehe......" Xu Xiaoling looked at the flowers and trees around her, and muttered with an intoxicated face.
"It's indeed beautiful, the spiritual power of the life system here seems to be much richer than in other places!" Yun Xi said with a slight frown. This is not normal, it stands to reason that even if there are some places where a certain spiritual power is relatively strong for some reason, it is not normal, but it is not normal if the concentration reaches the point where it directly causes visions. It's full of flowers, and many of them shouldn't be in bloom this season. If I'm not mistaken, this place should be full of flowers in all seasons, and even the rooftops are covered with all kinds of precious flowers and plants, which is definitely a bit abnormal. It's no wonder that although this small flower city is not large, less than half the size of the ten major cities in the Western Xia Kingdom, its reputation is far away. Moreover, it is said that many hermit masters like to settle in Huacheng, and a shopkeeper in Huacheng is likely to be some unfathomable old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years!
Yun Xi and Chenxi walked through the street, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant that looked small but was very warmly decorated.
Yun Xi and Chen Xi looked at it for a moment and walked into the restaurant. Maybe it's because it's just after lunchtime, there aren't many people in the whole restaurant, but when Yun Xi and Chen Xi walked into the restaurant, they still attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, after all, Chen Xi and Yun Xi were still children at first glance, and they were led by two picturesque fairies, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
After the six people entered the door, they ignored the eyes of the others, and directly found a table by the window and sat down. Xiao Er then walked over, smiled slightly at the six people, and said, "A few guest officers, I don't know what you want to come?"
Hearing the words of the junior second, Yun Xi raised his head and smiled slightly, and said softly: "Uncle, we want three upper rooms, a few plates of signature dishes in the store, and a pot of good tea, let's do it first! Thank you, uncle!"
The little second was directly stunned by Yun Xi's extremely lethal smile, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. However, the little two in this store are not ordinary people, and after coming back to their senses, they looked like they were all right, smiled at Yun Xi and Chen Xi and the others, and said, "Okay, a few guest officers, wait a minute, it will be fine immediately!"
After saying this, the little two were just about to leave, and the white furball that had been lying on Yun Xi's shoulder and the red fur ball that had been lying on Chenxi's shoulder got up at the same time, and shouted loudly: "A few more plates of meat and vegetables, it's better to have ten plates and eight plates!"
Hearing the words of the two little beasts, the little second smiled slightly without any surprise: "Okay, guest officer, please wait a minute, it will be fine right away!" There are many masters who have just entered Huacheng, and high-level contract beasts are naturally not uncommon, so Xiao Er has no surprise at all about the balls and pills that speak. Although the six guests in front of him are not very old, since they are wearing the service of the inner disciples of the Soul Valley, and from the costumes, it is obvious that they are the core disciples of the inner gate of the Soul Valley, since this is the case, it is not strange that there are any high-level demon beasts around. Most of the people on the Huoyun Continent knew that the Soul Valley and the Demon Country were neutral and the nobles were on good terms, and it was normal for the core disciples of the inner gate of the Soul Valley to have one or two high-level demon beasts as contract beasts!
An hour later, Yun Xi and Chen Xi finally had enough to eat. A few people were just about to leave, and at the table behind them, several middle-aged men happened to be there talking about the "empty city", and several people glanced at each other and sat down again.
"I've heard you've seen people enter the 'Empty City', is that true?" asked one of the middle-aged men.
"Of course this is true! Those people should be the royal guards of our empire, and the leader of the team is a middle-aged man with the peak cultivation of the Ancient Immortal Venerable, and the dozen or so soldiers who followed him also seem to be at the level of the Ancient Immortal Venerable. Another middle-aged man spoke.
"How is this possible?Didn't the Empire give up on the investigation of the 'Empty City' a long time ago, why did it suddenly send someone to the 'Empty City' to investigate?," the middle-aged man who spoke before said with a slight frown.
"I don't know much about this, I just know that this time the matter may be really troublesome, and those people will be wiped out like the ones who went to the 'Empty City' before!" said the middle-aged man from before.
"Uncles, can you tell us what you know about the 'Empty City'? In return, I can give this to you!" Chen Xi suddenly walked to the table of the middle-aged men, and asked with an innocent expression. As he spoke, he also took out six ten-grade high-grade space scrolls and put them on the tables of the middle-aged men.
The middle-aged men were a little impatient when they first heard Chenxi's words, and wanted to drive Chenxi away. However, when they saw that the person who was questioning was a child like a fairychild, especially when they saw Chenxi's innocent appearance, the hearts of those middle-aged men were instantly shocked and they softened. When they heard Dawn say that it would repay them, they wanted to refuse at first, but when they saw the six high-grade spatial scrolls that Dawn had placed on their table, their favor for Dawn increased.
They just told this lovely child about the "empty city" they knew, those were of no value to them at all, to be precise, although there were not many people in this flower city who knew those things, it was definitely not impossible not to find others who knew these things. And this kid was willing to take out the Heavenly Grade Advanced Space Scroll to repay them, at this moment, several people decided that they absolutely knew everything about the "Empty City", and even after that, they had to inquire more about this lovely child in front of them!
Of course, the other people around were not unmoved when they saw those heavenly high-grade space scrolls that Dawn took out, after all, they were good at saving their lives. However, they didn't dare to do anything crooked, the child in front of them was the core disciple of the inner gate of the "Soul Valley", if they really had any crooked thoughts, I am afraid that what was waiting for them would definitely be an endless pursuit from the Valley of the Soul!
"Little one, if you want to know anything about the 'Empty City', just ask, we definitely know everything, and we will say everything!" the middle-aged man said with a gentle look at Chenxi.
"Can Uncle tell me about the current situation of the 'Empty City'?" asked Dawn with a curious expression.
"The specific situation now, this person who lives in this neighborhood knows that the current 'Empty City' is a dead city, and there is not a single living thing in the entire city, not only that, but even within a radius of kilometers outside the city, there is not a single grass!" the middle-aged man said with a little distraction. After all, when he passed by the "Empty City" before, it was still one of the ten main cities of the Western Summer Kingdom, which was still extremely prosperous and crowded with people. Who would have thought that in less than three years, when he came to the "Empty City" again, it would be like that.
"Can Uncle tell me anything unusual about the 'Empty City' in the years before it officially became an empty city?"
"This ...... I don't know either, after all, I'm not from the 'Empty City', and the few times I passed through the 'Empty City' was just a temporary stay. The middle-aged man said with some embarrassment.
"Well, I used to be a citizen of the 'Empty City', and I only escaped from the 'Empty City' after the outbreak of the epidemic. In the first few years of the pandemic, I don't remember any visions!" said another middle-aged man, thinking for a moment.
Hearing the answers of the two, Chenxi always felt that something was wrong, there was no grass growing within a radius of thousands of kilometers around the "Empty City", what was going on? Chenxi racked her brains and couldn't come up with a reason, she raised her head in frustration, just to see the petals flying in the sky outside the window, the vines that climbed all over the wall on the opposite wall and the flowers dotted on it, and she secretly said in her heart: "The flower city is really beautiful, there are flowers everywhere, and the sky is full of flowers...... Wait a minute, the 'Empty City' is now a 'dead city' with no grass, and the Flower City, which is less than three kilometers away from the 'Empty City', is lush with vegetation and flowers, and the gap is inevitably too big, obviously the two cities are so close!"
