The north wind swept the ground and the grass folded, and everyone felt fresh when the scenery first came out, but after two days of walking, one by one, it was like a frosted tree melon (a native species like an eggplant), and it was all settled.

In the past few days, Wang Tieshan took this group of young people to hurry up during the day, and at night he found Zhuangzi along the way to spend the night.

Seeing the excitement of these young people in front of him disappear little by little, I felt a little disdainful in my heart.

"I think when I went for the first time, at least I walked the whole process in good spirits, and now the young people are really not very good......

"In addition to Wang Ping, this kid still has some of my style back then."

Wang Ping was calm along the way, and in the past few days, he had been on the road with the large army during the day and resting at night, and he didn't care about Wang An, who had been complaining non-stop since he was halfway through the first day.

In his heart now, he only wanted to go to the Heavenly City in the Central Land as soon as possible to verify those conjectures in his heart......

"Big guy, go to the forest in front and take a rest," Wang Tieshan said loudly.

There was a cheer from the crowd.

"Wang Ping, Wang An, Wang Mu, Wang Tu, a few of you go around to see if there is any water source, we have to replenish the water", Wang Tieshan looked at the four of them and ordered.

"Yes, master", Wang Ping calmly took the errand.

"Ah......, yes, master",

Although Wang An, Wang Mu, and Wang Tu were unhappy, they didn't dare to speak out and not do what Wang Tieshan ordered.

Wang Mu, Wang Tu, these two are brothers, and their talents are also very good, the two are not much different from Wang An, and they are also the top ten seedlings among the younger generation in Zhuangzi.

"Xiao An, you go with me to find it, Da Mu, Ertu, you two brothers go to the other side to look for it, and after you find the water source, just come back and inform the master", Wang Ping said to the three of them.

"Okay, brother"

"Just do what Brother Ping said"

Several people immediately responded with a smile.

Wang Ping took Wang An and walked to the back of the woods where everyone was resting, behind the woods was a valley bottom, and the two of them walked out less than half a mile and found a small stream, only less than half a zhang wide, but the stream was very clear.

Wang An ran directly to the stream and picked up a handful of water and drank it.

"This water is so sweet, we were really lucky to find it so close today."

"It's pretty good, Xiao An, fill the water bladder we brought, and then we'll go back and inform the master that they come to get water."

"Okay, brother, I'll fill it with water."

Wang Ping also took off the water bladder on his body, squatted by the stream and filled it with water, took a handful and drank it, not to mention, this water is really sweet.

"Brother, come on, I found a strange stone", suddenly Wang An's shout came from the side.

"What stone?"

Wang Ping hurriedly got up and walked to Wang An's side.

I saw Wang An stretch out his right hand, holding a small red stone in his hand, this stone has a little golden vein, and it looks really different.

"It's this stone, it's weird, it's the first time I've seen it."

"It's the first time I've seen it, show it to me", Wang Ping took the stone from Wang An's hand and examined it carefully.

After looking at it, I didn't find anything else special.

"Xiao An, it's nothing too special, but this color is quite beautiful, you can keep it as an ornament", Wang Ping said to Wang An with a smile.

But suddenly, Wang Ping felt that the stone in his hand began to get a little hot.

"Xiao An, is this stone getting hot? How do I feel that the temperature is wrong. ”

"Brother, are you okay, how can this stone become hot, probably because you have a fever", Wang An looked at Wang Ping with a suspicious expression.

I thought to myself, "If you want to lie to me, there is no door." ”

"Okay, brother, I'll go fill the water, if you think this stone looks good, keep it for yourself", after saying that, he walked away with a disgusted face.

"No, it really ...... Alas, it's true", looking at Wang An, who had already gone to fetch water, Wang Ping could only sigh, casually put the stone into his pocket, and then went to the stream to tidy up the water bag and prepare for the return trip.

……

Seven or eight hundred miles of road, Wang Ping and his party walked and stopped, until the tenth day saw a black line emerging from the sky at the end of the sight, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Amagi is finally here......

The black city wall is more than ten feet high, solemn, as if a black dragon stretches into the distance, and there is no end in sight.

Wangshan ran dead horses, and by the time Wang Ping and the others actually walked to the city gate, the sky was already a little dark.

At this time, people from all over the city were constantly entering the city from the tall city gates.

The army defending the city had apparently anticipated this, and only occasionally maintained order, without intervening much with these outsiders.

Wang Ping and the others entered the heavenly city with the flow of people, saying that it was a city, but when they crossed the city gate, the scene they saw was different from what he thought in his heart.

As far as the eye can see, there is no bustling market, dense buildings, but one flat land after another.

Makeshift tents were set up on the flat ground, where large numbers of people gathered, and soldiers carrying food and water moved through them.

It's not like a city, it's like a refugee camp, but the people who come here are in a different state of mind, and it's more like a pilgrimage for countless people.

"Isn't it quite the same as you imagined?"

Wang Tieshan looked at the group of people with sluggish faces, and somehow felt a little happy in his heart, they were really a group of little cubs who had never seen the world.

"Master, this is indeed a little different from what I thought", Wang Ping quickly came back to his senses and took over.

"This is the case in this city, it was like this when I came last time, thirty years have passed, and nothing has changed, you boys, you always think about how good it is outside, now you are dumbfounded", Wang Tieshan laughed.

Wang Ping smiled helplessly in his heart, why are these adults not very serious.

"Master, it's all here, what should we do next, we can't just sleep outside."

"Small problem, I'll go to the lord of the city guard and ask him to arrange two tents for us, the heavenly city is going to provide food and lodging for everyone who comes these days, don't worry about these problems", Wang Tieshan walked towards the nearest soldier after speaking.

I don't know what Wang Tieshan said to the soldier, but the soldier quickly led them around the crowd, and finally came to a tent that had just been set up, arranged a few tents for them according to the number of people, and left.

Wang An and the others were full of curiosity about the surroundings, but Wang Tieshan resolutely did not let them run around, this crowd of people, maybe they couldn't find their way back.

It was getting late, so the group had eaten the dinner distributed by the uniform, and then went back to the tent to rest.

……

In the center of the Heavenly City, there is also a small inner city, which has a number of palaces scattered among them, which is completely different from the desolation of the outer city.

In front of one of the grandest halls, an ancient altar was built out of huge stones.

A huge blood-colored stone in the center of the altar was particularly dazzling, and a large number of strange-shaped beasts were bound around the altar.

In the main hall, there were two figures, one white and one purple, and the white figure followed the purple figure and walked to the door one after the other, and the two looked at the vicissitudes of life and the simple altar in front of them.

"Xiao Zhuang, tomorrow will hold the True Martial Sacrifice Heaven Ceremony, this time you are still in charge", the purple-robed figure commanded the man in white behind him.

The white-robed man bowed respectfully and saluted: "Yes, my lord."

……

The next day, Wang Ping's place where they lived was brought more people, and the hustle and bustle was chaotic, which made Wang Ping very helpless.

I came here to find out what Zhenwu was all about, but I couldn't go anywhere, and the people around me were all coming from all over the world to make a pilgrimage, and I couldn't expect them to know anything.

He had looked for these soldiers, and the answers he got were nothing more than "real martial arts are real martial arts, why do you care so much", "how do I know about the gods"...... Etcetera.

The dry and cold weather made most people get out of their tents and bask in the sun.

Wang Ping was flustered, found a slightly quieter corner, sat on a wooden car, and thought carefully about what to do next.

At the same time, above the towering altar in the inner city. Last night's white figure had changed into a mysterious sacrificial robe, holding a golden volume of sacrificial texts in his hand, and recited:

"Chaos is just beginning, primitive

Covered with stars and moons, looking around

……

For the sake of barbarism, the road is opened

……

……”

After reading the memorial text, the dancers on the altar danced a mysterious dance, and the musicians around played ancient music, majestic and desolate, straight into the nine heavens.

Then, the soldiers who had been prepared by the altar drew their blades, slaughtered the beasts bound to the side of the altar, and sacrificed their blood to the heavens.

The rich blood qi converged into a red pillar of light, which rushed straight into the sky, turning into a blood-colored vortex in the air.

And all this that happened in the inner city, the people in the outer city could not detect any movement.

The whirlpool grew larger and larger, and gradually wisps of golden light began to appear.

Immediately after that, a mysterious wave silently came out of the whirlpool, swept through everyone around the altar at a rapid speed, and then spread towards the entire outer city, soon enveloping the entire heavenly city in it.

……

Wang Ping's face was full of sadness, and after thinking about it, he really couldn't think of any effective way, could it be that this time he came in vain?

He didn't notice that the temperature of the small stone in his arms had become a little higher again.

……

Inside the main hall, the purple figure was expressionless, calmly looking at the blood-colored vortex in the sky outside the hall, quietly waiting for the result.

Suddenly, a golden starlight flew from the sky, followed by another one, and after flying out of more than twenty in succession, the whirlpool slowly disappeared.

The starlight seemed to find its way in the air, and then scattered in all directions.

A rare smile appeared on the calm face of the purple figure, and he slowly spoke:

"Go and bring all the people who have received the Divine Martial Mark, and don't leave any one behind", the voice was not loud, but the unquestionable order still came from the main hall and reached everyone's ears.

All the people at the altar saluted and received orders, and each went in a different direction according to the tasks that had been assigned.
