Chapter Twenty-Seven: Guest, Please Stay
Through the clouds and over the mountains, this section was supposed to be half an hour's journey, but it took the two of them two hours to reach Songyue City.
In order to avoid suspicion, when Qin Mu and Luo'er fell to the ground in a secluded place outside Songyue City, Qin Mu trembled all over, his face was pale, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the flight of the imperial sword.
This way in the sky, although Luo Er tried her best to manipulate the Tianya Sword, but after all, she was only a beginner, on weekdays, one person flew the sword, but there was one more person all of a sudden, and she couldn't master the Tianya Sword a few times.
If it weren't for Qin Mu seeing that something was wrong beside her, he didn't dare to move, and he surged his vitality in time to put his body in a state of weightlessness to reduce the weight of the Tianya Sword, but he was afraid that the two of them would have fallen from the height and died of broken bones.
But in this way, Qin Mu consumed a lot of vitality, coupled with the high-altitude reaction generated during the flight, Qin Mu fainted.
After a short rest, after Qin Mu had recovered his breath, the two of them walked towards the tall Songyue City in the bright sunshine.
Coming to the outside of the city, the scene in front of him shocked Qin Mu very much.
What kind of scene is this, Qin Mu stood on the side of the road, looking at Songyue City not far away.
Five floating islands floating in the air, surrounding a bustling city on the ground, connected by a white jade bridge between the five floating islands, but not connected to the city on the ground.
The size of the floating islands is not much different, but the scenery and layout are similar. A floating island is planted with spiritual plants, and some attics can be seen hidden in it.
And there was a floating island next to him, which made Qin Mu's dick silk love suddenly exposed, and he was dumbfounded, and his eyes widened. I saw that the whole floating island is sparkling, in addition to water, it is just water, the floating island is like a water mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, the water is full but not overflowing, and above the water surface, it is also full of different varieties of spiritual lotus.
The entire floating island resembles a giant mirrored lake, reflecting the boundless sky and the city in the lake. A white tower rises from the ground in the center of the lake, magnificent, looking up, it is stacked on top of each other until it reaches the ninth level.
The other two floating islands also have their own merits, both of which are beautiful peaks and beautiful scenery, but there is nothing unusual.
And when Qin Mu saw the most central floating island, he was extremely shocked, compared to the other four floating islands, it was simply a terrible scenery. The splendid buildings of the floating island, densely packed with gorgeous and dazzling attic pavilions, although you can see that it is prosperous at first glance, but it gives people a very tacky feeling. I don't know which rich man built it, but it's really magnanimous.
And Songyue City under the floating island, it is finally normal, at first glance, you can also see countless pavilions and lofts in the city, which is extremely prosperous.
There is a city gate in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Songyue City, and there is a giant talisman seal with a width of one zhang on the city gate, and the characters on the talisman seal flash, and the aura is compelling.
There are two rows of guards with a total of twenty people standing at the gate of the city, Qin Mu had previously learned the spirit contemplation technique from the secret book of the Nine True Caves, and when he entered the city, he quietly checked the cultivation of the soldiers, Qin Mu observed that the soldiers guarding the gate were all martial artists of the Qi cultivation realm, a leader in the late stage of Qi cultivation, and the remaining nine were all in the middle stage of Qi cultivation.
Qin Mu was surprised to see that even the soldiers guarding the city gate were martial artists who had broken through the Qi Cultivation Realm, and when he saw that every guard had a high-grade spiritual weapon in his hand, he wanted to kneel.
Walking into the city, it is blurry and illusory, crowded with people, and Songyue City under the sun is extremely prosperous.
Songyue City, three thousand zhang from north to south, five steps and one pavilion, ten steps and one floor, the place as far as the line of sight can be Qionglou Yuyu, Liuyun Waterfall, smoke and clouds, the heavenly palace is strange and contending, and the fairy birds are flying.
On the spacious street, the hot sunlight not only did not reduce the flow of people, but became more lively.
On both sides of the street, the major merchants also tried their best at this time, only to see that all the clerks were wearing uniforms, standing at the door on the left and right, one holding a copper bell and one holding a gossip silver mirror.
The clerk holding the copper rattle, chanting the mantra and shaking the bell in his hand, the melodious sound suddenly spread down from the copper bell.
"Our store sells all kinds of magic weapons, because there are all kinds of elixirs, good quality and low price, whether you are an apprentice of the Qi cultivation realm or a master of the Tianyuan period, our store can meet your requirements. β
The copper bell is engraved with simple runes, and the clerk who shakes the copper bell recites the spell for the string sound mantra, the voice is peaceful and neutral, never harsh, and you will not feel bored after listening to it for a long time.
The clerk holding the Bagua Mirror is cooperating with the tacit understanding, when the copper bell is shaking, he also recites the magic formula at the same time, only to see the light of the Bagua Mirror flashing, above his head, suddenly appeared in different forms of magic weapon illusions, the form is realistic, the power is very strong. Moreover, as the bell shakes, the illusion above his head will also change like a horse, and the illusion is heavy, like a street mirage, combining the virtual and the real, with the false and the real.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all immortal cultivators, our store sells all kinds of high-grade elixirs, thousand-year-old stores, quality assurance!"
"It's a big sale! The price of jumping the mountain! The fifth-grade spirit grass only needs 300 spirit crystals, and the spirit grass below the fourth grade is 200 spirit crystals!
"Young man, the old man sees that you are talented, and you will become a great weapon in the future, how about coming to our Divine Martial Sect, a thousand spirit crystals will be cultivated for a year, and you will be able to become the strongest martial spirit master in Wutian County in one year!"
This is the most prosperous immortal city under Wutian County, Songyue City.
Looking at the monks walking around the city, as many as flies, Qin Mu felt very confused, there were too many monks.
He used to live in Yunshui City south of Zhongzhou, although there were many people in Yunshui City, but eighty percent of the people in the city were mortals, and the remaining two percent, one percent was a martial artist, and one percent was an immortal cultivator.
It was the first time he had seen such a large city full of monks and seemingly a million people.
Songyue City is no stranger to Luo'er, and she has stolen down the mountain to visit here before.
At this time, the two of them plunged headlong into the crowd.
Luo Er walked with Qin Mu with a smile, never mentioning what happened just now, and introduced Songyue City to Qin Mu endlessly:
"Within a radius of 100 miles, this is the most prosperous area of Wutian County, the people who live here, not to mention there are millions, and the location of the land is good, there are a lot of business travel, plus five days later, it is the sect meeting, Wutian County is even more lively. β
Qin Mu listened to this, and while admiring Luo'er in his heart, he couldn't help but think of Yunshui City, and said, "Well, this place is similar to Yunshui City. β
Luo Er rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Yunshui City, let's go and see it another day, by the way, how do you know Yunshui City? It is the first city south of Central Continent." β
Qin Mu looked stunned, he naturally didn't want to explain the truth, but just replied hesitantly, and said, "I'm from Yunshui City, the little senior sister has a really bad memory, I told you before." β
"Is there one?" Luo Er's eyes rolled, as if she was thinking, and then her mouth pursed, and she said, "Little junior brother, are you full of me?"
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No, senior sister is too careful." As he spoke, he looked up at the floating island, his eyes full of surprise.
Luo'er snorted, and as she looked up at the sky, five floating islands appeared above her head, she looked at Qin Mu with a confused expression, and felt as if she was about to say something.
But what kind of person is Luo Yi, the person who forgot about yesterday and forgot today.
She tried to recall the things she had heard about on weekdays, and it was easy to find something from her memory that she had heard from her master about Songyue Immortal Island.
She cleared her throat and explained to Qin Mu: "Little junior brother, there are no less than 100 cultivation families in this Songyue City, some cultivating martial arts, some cultivating truth, some alchemy, etc., and all major sects also have branches here, and there are even more scattered cultivators. Moreover, everything is managed by the five major organizations of the floating island, which seems to be called the Hongmeng Temple. This management model, as well as the structure of the city, is modeled after the Hongmeng realm. β
"Hongmeng Realm, how do you know so clearly?" Qin Mu came to his senses and asked casually.
Hongmeng Realm, Luo'er is from the Hongmeng Realm, but when she was three years old, she came to Zhongzhou with Master Yuxu, despite this, there are still memories of the Hongmeng Realm in her memory fragments, and Yuxu Zhenren often talked to her about the Hongmeng Realm, so she knew so clearly.
"What Master told me, I heard Senior Brother Song say that you are very interested in the Hongmeng world, but I know so much, don't ask me. Luo Er smiled weirdly, and when Qin Mu heard this, he shook his head helplessly.
After strolling around the street for a while, he was stopped by a monk who began to sell the two of them a map of Songyue Immortal City.
"Two monks, please take a step. We have a beautiful map of Matsutsuki Castle here, and if you are new to this place, you will get lost if you don't have a map. The young monk who sold the map was like a river, and took advantage of the moment when they stopped, quickly finished speaking, and then stared at Qin Mu and Luo'er with a sneer.
Qin Mu smiled slightly, and asked puzzledly, "How do you know that we just arrived here?"
The young monk who sold the map explained with a smile: "The two monks don't know anything, as long as the monks who live in Songyue City for a long time, they will definitely hunt demon beasts or collect treasures when they come back. When they returned, most of them were tired and ragged. And the two, with a lofty spirit, neatly dressed, and a red face, naturally came for the first time. β
"You're pretty good at talking, and it's okay to buy a map, but you need to tell me if there's anything interesting going on in the city lately. Who can't tell him that he's slapping on the back, Loel laughed.
"Interesting thing, hehe, this girl is the right person! I know 10 points inside the city, and I know a little 8 points about things outside the city, so I wonder what interesting things you two want to know?"
Qin Mu smiled, asked casually, and said, "You said that you also know eight points outside the city, so do you know Yunshui City?"
The young monk who sold maps smiled faintly and said, "The first city of the Southern University of Zhongzhou, of course the junior brother knows. The city is good and martial, covering an area of five thousand zhang, and the surname of the city is Qinββ"
Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, these are known to the world, you don't need to say more." Tell me about the latest. β
"Hey, hey. The young monk smiled, rolled his eyes, and said, "There is a big event in Yunshui City, and it has been rumored recently-"
"What's the big deal?" Qin Mu and Luo'er asked in unison.
The corners of the young monk's mouth pursed, picked up a painting scroll, and said, "You two look at it, right?" He raised his eyebrows and motioned for Qin Mu to buy the map.
Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then understood, so he asked, "How can this map be sold?"
The little brother hurriedly took the two of them to a small stall and said in a low voice: "Recently, the map of Songyue City is not allowed to be sold privately, and if you find it, you will be punished." Now it is all directly sold by the Hongmeng Palace. β
When Luo Er heard this, she was surprised and said, "Why are you not allowed to sell maps privately?"
The little brother looked around with a thief's eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "Is this still related to the matter of Yunshui City?"
"Let's talk about how much?" Qin Mu asked a little impatiently.
"The price is the same in the whole city, one price, two second-grade spirit crystals. β
"Two pieces of second-grade spirit crystals? It's just a broken map, let's go through it ourselves and draw one for ourselves. Qin Mu was taken aback, what kind of price is this. Two pieces of second-grade spirit crystals are worth five hundred taels of silver. A map costs five hundred taels of silver, this is not a robbery, what is it?
The little brother smiled, slowly opened the map in his hand, and said, "Our map is not ordinary, please take a look." β
Qin Mu hurriedly leaned over, and the little brother suddenly said, "Besides, the two of you still want to inquire about the news from me, naturally it can't be free." It's not easy to be old, to be smallβ"
The two were dumbfounded.
