Chapter 150: The Outer City
The palace is so large that there is no end in sight as far as the eye can see. Ma Xiaoniu came to the front of the main gate of the palace in a flash, the palace is magnificent, the main gate is as high as 10,000 zhang, much higher than the ordinary mountain. The two bronze gates were closed tightly, and I don't know how much they weighed. With these two gates, it is difficult for ordinary people to push them open, let alone enter them.
Ma Xiaoniu blew lightly on the gate, and the gate rumbled open left and right, and opened in the blink of an eye. Ma Xiaoniu's figure flashed into the palace door, raised his eyes, and saw that the hall was as bright as day, and this light was not from Ma Xiaoniu's "bright" word, but from the two pearls above the hall. Looking down, the surrounding of the main hall is undulating mountains, some of which are so high that they almost touch the top of the temple, and surrounded by mountains, a city with a length and width of thousands of miles stands there.
"A city in a great hall?" Ma Xiaoniu smiled, "Something interesting." ”
Ma Xiaoniu's heart moved, and the door of the temple behind him rumbled and closed again. The sea of snakes outside was restored to its original state. In a flash, Ma Xiaoniu came to a river, this river is only ten meters wide, the river is gentle, this river is only three or four miles away from the city, and it is in a U-shaped shape to surround the city. Ma Xiaoniu strode towards the city gate in the distance, between the river and the city gate is not a barren field, but full of unknown plants, these plants are all green, thumb thick, the bottom is thick and the top is thin, has grown about a foot high, on the top of the plant, densely overgrown with red particles the size of a grain of rice, exuding a faint fragrance. On both sides of the city gate, this vegetation is planted everywhere. Ma Xiaoniu soon came to the city gate, looked up, and saw three blood-red characters on the city gate - Shiwai City.
Ma Xiaoniu smiled, maybe the city lord of this city is a hidden master. But why was the city built in such a place? There were soldiers on both sides of the city gate, and Ma Xiaoniu looked like a soldier who looked no different from a human on land. They are all humanoid, but they have some animal physical features. For example, the two men guarding the city gate, one of them had pig ears, and the other had a leopard tail.
In order to avoid trouble, Ma Xiaoniu directly blocked the vision of the two, and Shi Shiran walked into the city gate.
When you enter the city, you are greeted by a weaving of pedestrians and vendors lining the streets, making it seem as if the city and the outside are two worlds entirely. It's quiet outside the city, but it's bustling inside. Ma Xiaoniu still shielded the eyes of outsiders, and walked to the vendor next to him to see what the other party was selling.
I saw that there were dozens of jars of different sizes and styles on the stall of this vendor, and these jars were all shaped as a whole, with a strange appearance and a very novelty. On another stall next to this stall, there were many small bottles with a pungent smell, but what made Ma Xiaoniu feel strange was that the stall owner of this stall turned out to be a monster. You must know that in the outside world, the war between demon beasts and humans has lasted for an unknown number of years, and in this outer city, humans and demon beasts are quite harmonious, tsk, from this point of view, the city lord of this outer city is a very thoughtful person.
Ma Xiaoniu quietly showed his figure, and the street was rubbing shoulders, and Ma Xiaoniu's sudden appearance did not attract the attention of others. Ma Xiaoniu smiled at the demon beast wearing the illusion stone: "Excuse me, what are you selling here?" ”
The demon beast transformed into an ordinary-looking young man, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, this is the best snake repellent medicine in the entire world, as long as you sprinkle a little bit in the room, ensure that no snake dares to approach, guest officer, do you want to come?" ”
Ma Xiaoniu smiled: "I just asked casually, I can't use it." ”
The demon beast immediately stiffened his face and continued to greet the other guests, Ma Xiaoniu smiled, there are also philistines in this outer city. Walking further, Ma Xiaoniu finally found the kind of turquoise crop outside the city at a stall on the side of the road, but it was obviously processed, the turquoise rod was placed in one place, and the red particles were in a mouthful of bags.
Ma Xiaoniu came close and asked, "How are you selling this?" Ma Xiaoniu didn't ask directly what this was, you must know that this thing can be seen everywhere outside the city, Ma Xiaoniu thinks it should be similar to wheat and rice and other agricultural products on the earth, if you rush to ask, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a single horn, and when he heard this, he said: "My red water is full and big, and there is no more than mine in the entire world, how much do you want for a bag of foreign currency in the fifty worlds?" ”
Ma Maverick: "......"
Foreign currency? What is a foreign currency? Ma Xiaoniu couldn't, and his mind moved, and he knew everything about the world's foreign currency. In fact, Ma Xiaoniu is unwilling to use the power of his supreme god at will, in that case, this world will be too boring, with his identity as a supreme god, I want to know what is not a thought?
Ma Xiaoniu put his hand into his pocket, and with a thought, a fifty round foreign currency appeared in his hand, took out the foreign currency and handed it to the stall owner, and said, "Come to a bag." ”
"Great!" As he spoke, the stall owner lifted a bag of red water granules and put it in front of Ma Xiaoniu. Ma Xiaoniu grabbed the bag, and with a thought, threw the bag into the bronze palace in the black desert. The stall owner was stunned for a moment, but then his face was shocked.
Without stopping, the horse calf continued to move forward. Along the way, Ma Xiaoniu found that this outer city is indeed a very interesting place, first of all, in this outer city, humans and demons can coexist peacefully, and some even have a close relationship, as if the people in this outer city don't know the difference between humans and demons at all. Secondly, this outer city may be in that magnificent hall and has no connection with the outside world, and the various items in this place are very different from the outside world, which opens Ma Xiaoniu's eyes.
At this moment, Ma Xiaoniu was standing in front of a stall, looking at the things on the stall with great interest. I saw that there was only one black vine on the stall, the vine was only the thickness of a thumb and more than a foot long, but the vine as a whole exuded a slight halo, which looked very mysterious.
"What's this thing you're selling?" Ma Xiaoniu asked curiously.
The stall owner is an ape-shaped demon beast, and because he is wearing a phantom stone, he looks like a young man in his twenties from the outside. The young man sat cross-legged, and he didn't open his eyes when he heard the words, but said lightly: "Tongtian Vine"
"Tongtian Vine? It's a great name. What does it do? ”
The stall owner opened his eyes and looked at Ma Xiaoniu indifferently: "You really want to buy it?" ”
"Whether you buy it or not, you have to know the efficacy first, I don't know how to buy it?"
The stall owner closed his eyes again and said, "You can't afford it." ”
Ma Maverick was a little annoyed, fuck it, you see how much money I have and you say I can't afford it? Besides, there is no reason to sell something without letting customers know what it is.
"Cut, how do you know if I can afford it? Besides, I bet you won't be able to sell it for the rest of your life. ”
The stall owner sighed, opened his eyes and looked at Ma Xiaoniu: "Do you really want to buy it?" ”
Ma Xiaoniu rolled his eyes, what a big clove of garlic to pretend. Lao Tzu is the real master, okay.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you." The stall owner looked up at the sky, the sky was dark and oppressive, and he couldn't see clearly, "We all know that this world is actually a cage, and for many years, countless masters have wanted to break through the cage and go to the outside world, and then without exception, they all return with a feather." Some have even lost their lives as a result. We'll probably never be able to get out, that's what I thought at the beginning. But then, I found it. The stall owner looked down at the "Tongtian Vine" in front of him, "It's called Tongtian Vine, and if there is enough spiritual power to deliver it to it, it can keep growing." There has been a legend since ancient times that the vine can pierce the cage and reach the outside world. But it's a pity that not even one person has enough spiritual power to feed it", the stall owner sighed, "It needs too much spiritual power." But I always believe that with enough spiritual power, it will be able to break through this cage. ”
Ma Xiaoniu sneered in his heart, if you know that there is a boundless snake sea outside the main hall, you don't understand it that way, besides, there is an unknown depth of soil outside the snake sea, and there is an endless ocean on top of the soil.
However, Ma Xiaoniu took a closer look at this vine and did find something extraordinary about it. As long as there is enough spiritual power supply, this vine can indeed grow infinitely. And the power of the grass is very strong, as long as there is a little gap, it will burrow into it, and then the gap will become a crack and gradually expand. From this point of view, perhaps this vine does have the ability to reach the sky.
"It's kind of interesting, so how are you going to sell this babel vine?"
The stall owner looked at Ma Xiaoniu with some surprise, he had already said very clearly, if he was an ordinary person, he would have already known the difficulty and retreated, but the person in front of him still wanted to buy it, could it be that the person in front of him had something to rely on?
"If you can prove that you have what it takes to keep the vine growing, then this vine can be given to you for just one foreign currency. But if you can't prove it, then the price of the vine is astronomical. ”
Ma Xiaoniu smiled and was about to answer, but suddenly turned his head to look at the sky. I saw a black dot suddenly appear in the sky, and the black dot came to me in the blink of an eye, but it was an old man in Tsing Yi standing with his hands in his hands. The old man had gray hair, a yellow complexion with a few wrinkles, and a black horn with sharp curves on each side of his forehead.
The corners of the old man in Tsing Yi were windless, and his palm stretched out to grab the void of Tongtian vine in front of the stall owner, only to see Tongtian vine fly in front of the old man in Tsing Yi in the blink of an eye, the old man in Tsing Yi looked at it for a moment, and his face showed an excited look: "Sure enough, it is really this kind of divine thing!" I, I've finally found it! ”
"Give me back my Tsutento!" The stall owner was furious, and the yellow spiritual power spurted all over his body, and an earthy yellow fork flew out of his eyebrows, and shot straight past the old man in Tsing Yi. The old man in Tsing Yi turned his head to look at the earthy yellow fork that was shooting, and slowly stretched out his hand, only to see that the earthy yellow fork shattered instantly, and the stall owner on the ground suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and sat down on the ground. The stall owner covered his chest with his hands, stared at the old man in Tsing Yi viciously, and said, "If there is a kind, leave your name!" I didn't say it. ”
