Chapter Seventy-Five: The Ancient Book of Immortals
Jiang Chengyun touched his chin, this situation is worth paying attention to, but any treasure that a sect is worried about must be something that is difficult to find in the world.
The two of them listened for a while, these people are not monks after all, and the information they said was very miscellaneous, some people said that there was a 10,000-year-old magic medicine growing in the great wilderness, and eating it could make people cultivate a great increase, and some people said that there was an old demon king in this great wilderness who was about to sit down, and it contained a body of cultivation as the essence of the inner dan was about to be swallowed out of the world, and some people said that there was an ancient tomb to be unearthed, which was the tomb of the ancient great supernatural powers, and the burial was extremely rich, and there was an ancient scripture written by immortals, regardless of the Daoji, As long as you practice this sutra, you can eliminate hidden dangers and strengthen the Dao foundation.
"Master, I've heard of this small thing." Xiao Er said earnestly: "I heard that the people of the Cave Ruins Mansion are planning to do it in seven days, and that is the day when the baby is born." ”
"You know everything." Jiang Chengyun smiled and said, "What, do you also have relatives who are disciples in the Dongxu Mansion?" ”
"Not really." Xiao Er scratched his head and said: "The ban on the mountain they issued will be five days later, for three days, and our stores will buy news from the city in order to purchase goods and make accounts." ”
Soon, it was the turn of the two to enter the city, and the armor saw that Jiang Chengcheng was dressed strangely, and couldn't help but use the demon mirror to shine two more times, the simple bronze mirror reflected his delicate face, but there was no abnormal light flickering, the armor waved his hand, and said coldly: "Go in!" ”
Two people followed the dense crowd into the city, the streets here are more than several times more prosperous than the outside, the two rows are neatly arranged are archway palaces, it is rare to see the vendors and small stalls that are selling, it looks prosperous and majestic, this is the beauty of the ancient building, the plaque is hung high, the golden inscription, even the little two who run the hall inside are dressed extraordinary, wearing satin.
"This city is called Xiayuan City, and there are three major sects entrenched inside, the strongest of which is Dongxu Mansion, followed by the Barren Mountain Gate and the North Mountain Gate, I heard that these two doors were originally one family, but for some reason they broke down, so they became obscene." Xiao Er patiently explained to the two, but looked at Jiang Chengyun with blank eyes, thinking that he must be looking forward to asking for more rewards.
He led the two of them through three avenues, deep into the interior of the city, to a downtown street, where there was a small two-story building, elegantly decorated, it was a tailor shop opened by his relatives, and it was delivered to the store, and he said to a man with a long beard and a brown silk coat who looked like a boss, and said: "This is a distinguished guest, the second uncle must not be slow to treat, do not be stingy with your best fabric." ”
The boss glanced at the two of them and agreed, but he could see that there was still some contempt in his eyes, and he didn't think that the kid in half pants had any money in his hands.
Jiang Chengyun didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out the spirit stone the size of a baby's fist, cut it as big as a finger casually, threw it to Xiao Er, and said, "You lead the way with your hard work, and go get busy with the reward." ”
"Oops! Thank you, guest! Xiao Er was very excited, this finger-sized spirit stone may be exchanged for a piece of gold of the same weight, enough for his salary for a year, this person was more generous than he imagined, he was excited to visit Jiang Chengcheng again and again, and said to the boss from time to time: "These two are from other places, they are strangely dressed, but they are from noble backgrounds!" ”
"It's me who is gone." When the boss saw the spirit stone, his eyes were straight, his shop, even if he worked day and night, it would take two years to earn so much, but it was taken out as change by this young boy, he immediately became obedient and enthusiastic, and began to nod and said, "Distinguished guest!" Guest! Let's go upstairs and have a look! ”
The two followed the boss upstairs, each picked a satisfactory outfit, Ling Lu chose a pale yellow long skirt, this is a costume style, very similar to pants, very close to the clothes I saw in the martial arts TV series when I was a child, after Ling Lu put it on, it instantly matured a lot, originally with a baby face, no matter how it looks like an adult, but at the moment wearing an ancient costume, it is fairy and fluttering, quite temperamental, really like a rich family full of poetry and books.
Jiang Chengyun chose a white robe, this is not the type worn by scholars, but there are leggings under the tight, the waist is tightened, and the outer white robe is taken off, and it can be turned into a neat combat suit, but this dress is really good-looking, there are birds and beasts on the cuffs, there is a jade belt around the waist, and the boss has a sachet with it, so that after he wears it, he is really like an ancient student, looking old and young, and the jade tree is in the wind, which is quite elegant.
"Oh, the guest officer is really handsome." The boss praised with a red face: "The two of them are really comparable to the fairy couple, talented and beautiful, they are really ......"
Jiang Chengyun was speechless, he didn't want to listen to his more ink, cut off a spiritual stone the size of his thumb, threw it to him, turned around and pulled Ling Lu into the bustling long street, they wandered around, there are ordinary food sellers, and there are monks who eat food, such as an ordinary family that sells rock sugar gourds, and the fruit at his home is actually a fire fruit that has been formed in ten years, and the food is a great nourishment for essence and blood, Jiang Chengcheng bought two strings in one go, and gave them to Ling Lu, after she took it, although she was silent, the food was also delicious.
Jiang Chengchan couldn't help but smile, how can there be a girl who doesn't like to eat sweets, and no girl really likes to fight and kill, if there is a choice, everyone is willing to eat only sweets and not hardships.
The two finally chose a teahouse, asked for some snacks and a cup of tea, sat in the corner and drank tea silently, the consumption here is very high, a pot of tea costs two taels of silver, but the tea is good tea, pure wild black tea, the ancient method of boiling and drying, has a different taste, and is much stronger than the tea in the outside world.
"This teahouse is the most well-informed place in Xia Yuan City, we can wait patiently, someone will definitely come here."
Jiang Chengyun pinched up the turquoise cup, took a sip carefully, and savored the aroma in it, there are no longer a few tea guests here, people come and go, all of them are richly dressed, and the monks are extremely common, there is at least one in a table, and the realm of washing the fetus is even worse on the street, basically all around the extension of the pulse, and the qi refining masters are also haunted.
The two of them drank tea while chatting with each other, and after a long time, they probably figured out what kind of world this was, the name of this world was Gu Shu, and the most outrageous thing was that these monks knew very well that they were living in a sealed ancient world, and they also knew very well that their world was like a bubble that was wrapped, but they didn't plan to go to the outside world at all, because their ancestors had already spoken, and the outside world was going through the era of the end of the law, and the aura was gone, if they broke the seal without permission, it will cause the aura of this realm to overflow, and no one will want to cultivate at that time.
There is another important reason, that is, no one has the ability to break this seal, they can only wait for it to dissipate on its own, the ancestor said that when the magic circle collapses, it is the day of the revival of the aura.
In addition, this sealed world is very vast, if converted to modern calculation methods, it is more than 8 million square kilometers, which is almost comparable to the land of China. This made Jiang Chengyun very shocked, if this spatial magic array was automatically lifted, would it be possible for Huaxia's land to increase out of thin air?
Ling Lu didn't understand very much, she only heard a half-understanding, and then said: "Some masters once said that the true appearance of the earth is not what it is now, but it is much larger, but with the disappearance of the aura, the earth has also shrunk several times, and the monks who have descendants believe that the ancient immortal ancestors sealed a lot of land. ”
This explanation is reasonable. The sky soon darkened, and the two of them had to find an inn to make do.
On the second day, they came to the teahouse again, but they still didn't find any useful news, but Jiang Chengcheng led Linglu to walk around the street for a long time, the two of them ate a lot of game, all kinds of fierce beasts that are not in the outside world, here have become a meal on the plate, their recipes are like a book of mountains and seas, but unfortunately there are no dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and the like, these animals are god-like existence even in the monk's world.
On the third day, the teahouse finally ushered in a change, in the afternoon of this day, a team of iron horsemen galloped over, making the long street restless, people turned over on their horses, they were all monks, wearing heavy armor of battle, all holding swords, murderous, wearing black iron masks, not angry and self-imposing, the crotch is not a mortal horse, but a wild species, all have hooves the size of a sea bowl, red eyes, the neck is full of fine red scales, this is a red scale horse, the most ferocious horse, not a grass-eater, but a meat-eater, Even the Lion Tiger had to endure three points.
Jiang Chengyun put down the teacup, his face was a little solemn, he actually felt a burst of majestic pressure on these horses.
"These horses ....."
Ling Lu was also a little dignified, and said in a low voice: "That's right, the cultivation of these horses is around the consummation of the Extension Pulse, and the one in the lead is already a demon beast in the Qi refining period." ”
Even the horses have such cultivation, not to mention some soldiers in iron armor, the leading sergeant chief held a black horse whip, and with a slight whip, the air was pumped like thunder, and he said coldly: "Prepare some good tea and good dishes, and you want to eat." ”
"Master Jun, right away! Right away! The owner of the teahouse hurriedly greeted him with a smile, took the reins from his hand, lowered his head and said: "I will immediately arrange for someone to feed you and your military masters' war horses with grass chews. ”
"I have something important, so I don't need to drink wine, hurry up and prepare some food and tea." The sergeant waved his hand and walked in, the iron armor on his body sounded, and as these dozens of soldiers all entered, the heavy footsteps shook the floor slightly, and even the tea in the small cup of jasper rippled.
The entire teahouse was immediately silenced, everyone became cautious, bowed their heads and remained silent, and the originally high-minded talkers also became chilling. The sergeant chief glanced around coldly, and chose a position not far from Jiang Chengyun's position to sit down, this team of ironclad soldiers occupied four large tables, they sat down around, and took off their masks one after another, revealing their rough faces.
"Big brother, isn't this surnamed Zhang really playing tricks on us, what kind of demon beast broke into the city and stained the far city with blood, but today all the way, there is no blood, and even the city is not sealed." An ironclad soldier said to the sergeant major, "If the seal of the ancient realm is about to be broken, then there should be a big movement, and it shouldn't be as calm as this. ”
The sergeant chief shook his head silently and said: "You have misunderstood, the Dongxu Mansion is not saying that the seal of the ancient Shu realm is going to be broken, but that the tomb of the immortal ancestor who sealed the ancient Shu is about to be born, this is just a signal, the immortal ancestor said that once his tomb is born, within ten years, the seal of the ancient Shu will also be unlocked, this is not at the same time, but there is a sequential order." ”
Jiang Chengyun pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, it turned out that there was really an ancient tomb to be unearthed, and it was the tomb of the person who sealed the ancient Shu realm with his own strength, it seems that this tomb is definitely a treasure, and it seems that the aura is really going to recover, and even there is a rumor here.
"I heard that the immortal ancestor once said that he would hide the immortal scriptures in the tomb, if the tomb emerges, it can be read by future generations, I don't know if it is true or false?" Another sergeant asked.
"It's a mixed bag." The sergeant said ambiguously.
"There is only one immortal scripture, how can we divide it?" The armor soldier said coldly: "This time we dispatched thirty-three armor soldiers, and the comprehensive combat power can overwhelm the Dongxu Mansion, if we get the Immortal Scripture, should we take it?" ”
"No." The sergeant chief shook his head and said: "The patriarch owes the Dongxu Mansion a favor, this time it is not to seize the treasure, but to repay the favor, we can't have this idea." ”
"Ugh." All the armorers sighed, but they were helpless.
"Hurry up and eat, let's take advantage of the night to enter the wilderness to feel the situation." The sergeant chief ordered.
