I walked for about half an hour.

The scene in front of me suddenly opened up. It was a mountain range, and beneath it was an ancient city, with a series of houses and a sunny city, similar to the "city of dead leaves".

"How can there be an ancient city here? And it's so similar to Dead Leaf City? Hibizome looked at the ancient city in the sunlight and asked in surprise.

"Maybe it's Dead Leaf City!" Su Chen said leisurely: "If my guess is correct, there is Dead Leaf City, and there are still residents living there!" ”

"How is that possible? Hasn't Dead Leaf City disappeared in that heavenly calamity? Aren't we just under the temples of the City of Withered Leaves? Jinran wondered.

"It's indeed Withered Leaf City up there, but it's also Withered Leaf City down there!" Su Chen said: "The Withered Leaf City below here is built according to the Withered Leaf City above!" Believe it or not! ”

Su Chen stretched out his finger and pointed.

Looking in the direction of Su Chen's finger, there was a small grass hut. It was the house where the old woman lived when they came in the evening!

"What's going on!?" Jinran was shocked, "Isn't that the house where the old woman lives?" If you say that there is a person, doesn't that mean that the old woman is also there? What do we see in the evening...? ”

"Maybe you can understand her as a projection!" Su Chen said softly: "The people here may just be a projection of the dead people in Dead Leaf City!" ”

"Projection? The more I talk about it, the more I don't understand, where the hell are we? Jin Ran was even more confused by Su Chen's words, and asked with a frown.

"Let's go in first." Su Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Maybe when you walk in, you will understand what I mean!" ”

He was the first to step out, only to realize that the passage they had just taken was only one of the roads in the mountains, and there were two crossings beside it.

Hibizome followed.

When they went out, they could see the whole picture of this ancient city. Many of the inhabitants work on the flat areas of the mountain range. And on the edge of the ancient city, there are also some patrolling guards.

Most of them are martial artists above the innate realm.

As soon as they had come out, some soldiers patrolling the city saw them and came up. Feeling the cultivation of Su Chen and Hibiscus, the Shoucheng soldier had a very kind face.

But the eyes that secretly looked at Hibiscus were a little hot. The two of them were in the dust at this time, but they did not change their stunning temperament, just like a glance.

"Two, came to my Withered Leaf City to find someone?" The disciple who patrolled the city greeted him with a smile and asked respectfully.

"Not bad." Su Chen nodded, and said lightly: "We are here to find your city lord, can you make it convenient and take us to the city lord's mansion?" ”

"This..."The disciple who patrolled the city looked embarrassed and said softly: "Two, the city lord has a lot of opportunities, and it is not for a small person like us to take you there. Can you wait for a meeting, and I'll report it? ”

"Yes. Take us to find a place to rest for a while. Su Chen nodded.

Under the guidance of this disciple who patrolled the city, they arrived in front of a palatial courtyard. The layout inside is elegant, with sandalwood curling around the corners, giving people a warm and feminine feeling.

"Two, please rest here for a while. I'll let you know! The disciples who patrolled the city saluted respectfully and withdrew.

In the huge courtyard, only Su Chen and Jinran were left.

"Why are you looking for their city lord?" Jinran still didn't understand everything here, those disciples were all living people, and they didn't look like projections, so he asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, this place is actually the scene before the natural disaster in Withered Leaf City." Su Chen's eyes were long, "Here you can say that it is an illusion, or it can be said to be real!" ”

"Right now, we're going through life in Dead Leaf City. And for a while, you must not be able to get out! So why don't you rest here and find another way out! ”

"Then let's just say it, how can we find a way out, can't we go out the way we came?" Hizen asked.

"If you can still find your way to come, I think you can go out like this." Su Chen said with a smile: "Since we walked into Withered Leaf City in the evening, we have already been arranged!" ”

"You mean the old woman already knew?" Hirane exclaimed in surprise. She really couldn't think of anyone else who would arrange it, it was only the old woman who led them into the temple!

"It could be her or not!" Su Chen shook his head lightly, "I think she probably doesn't know anything, only that the Yin soldiers can't get close to that temple." ”

"But there was a Yin Man who directly opened the mechanism of the temple. And the place where the temple is connected is actually the meaning of the existence of the temple! All this should have been premeditated! ”

"We came to Withered Leaf City, and it was already arranged to enter Withered Leaf City. As for who he is and what kind of cultivation he is, there is no way to know! ”

"This..."

It was only then that Jin Ran vaguely understood what Su Chen meant.

"So you're saying that the man is here to experience life in Dead Leaf City? But what did he mean by doing that? Trapping us here forever? ”

"He shouldn't just be here to bring us here." Su Chen pondered and said, "If it is not bad as expected, he is here for me to see the destruction of Withered Leaf City and see that calamity descend on the world!" Feel that powerlessness, feel the struggle in the flames until you are burned all over! ”

"What's the use of that? If you suffer yourself, let others go through it again, and don't let the destruction of this withered leaf city be restored! Jin Ran said coldly.

"Then there's no way to know!"

Su Chen shook his head, but there was a strange luster in his eyes. No one knew what was going on in his mind at the moment, and what was jumping.

The two fell into a long silence.

Until the sun rises to its highest point in the sky.

There was a soft knock on the door of the silent courtyard. As soon as Hibizen raised his hand, a stream of true yuan was punched out, and the door was slowly pushed open. Outside the door stood two men in the same costume.

One was the city-patrolling disciple who brought them to this courtyard, and next to him stood a tall man with a noodle restaurant like jade.

As soon as he entered the door, the disciple who patrolled the city said with a smile: "Two, this is the leader of our patrol guards, Zhang Mu. He'll lead the two to the City Lord's Mansion! ”

"Good!"

Su Chen slowly got up and put the sword box behind his back. After examining Zhang Mu, the root bones are forty, and the cultivation has reached the innate realm, which can be regarded as a good cultivation.

Su Chen's eyes above Zhang Mu always have a feeling of being seen through. Judging from his many years of experience in interrogating people, this is definitely an unprovoked person, very terrifying.

"Two, please come with me, our city lord is already waiting for the two of you in the city lord's mansion." Zhang Mu immediately bowed and said.

"Let's go!"

Su Chen and Jinran nodded. Hibizome stood up and walked with Zhangmu. And the disciple who patrols the city continued to patrol the city step by step.

The streets of Dead Leaf City are bustling with people, chatting and shopping for daily necessities. Most of them are mortals, have no cultivation, and live an ordinary life.

This withered leaf city is not like the cities that live in the central area of Xuanling Prefecture. It is extremely backward here, the martial arts foundation is weak, and there are very few people who can practice martial arts.

However, in the central few ancient cities, everyone cultivates martial arts, and there are many families, and the gap is clear at a glance.
