Chapter 25: Entering the City
Under the scorching sun, among the mountains and jungles, a caravan was slowly moving forward.
"Did you hear that? It is said that another ruin has recently been discovered in Danju Castle, which is said to be a relic of the Middle Ages. ”
"I've heard that my cousin is a patrol guard in Danzhou City, and he told me that there are many masters in Danzhou City in the past few days, so he is now as busy as a dog every day."
"Haha, I remember your words, and when the time comes, tell your cousin that you feel better."
"I'm not afraid."
The people in the group talked loudly, and from time to time burst into laughter.
……
Mo Liang carried a long sword at his waist, sat upright on the back of the horse, quietly listened to the conversation of the caravan members around him, his face was calm, if he looked closely, he would find that Mo Liang's eyes were slightly hollow, as if he was in a daze.
It has been two days since he came out of the black market and set off towards Danzhou City, in these two days, in addition to eating and sleeping, Mo Liang is cultivating with peace of mind, through taking the remaining innate pills and spirit stones, Mo Liang has now reached the peak of the middle stage of the innate realm, and the spirit seed in his body is like a seed waiting to be released, it has swelled to the limit.
Mo Liang was sure that as long as he was given one more night, he would be able to break through to the late stage of the Innate Realm in one go, and what surprised him even more was that his Divine Soul had also improved and had reached the peak of the Innate Realm.
"Little brother cultivates so hard, it's really a shame for us and others."
A deep male voice came, waking Mo Liang up from his cultivation state.
"Brother Liu."
Mo Liang looked in the direction of the source of the voice, and saw that there was a middle-aged man beside him at some point, and Mo Liang recognized this person as a monk invited to be a guard in the caravan, named Liu Fei, who had reached the late stage of the Innate Realm.
During the two-day trip, Mo Liang and Liu Fei had talked a few times, and they were temporarily familiar, so when he heard Liu Fei greet him, he also nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Little brother is also here for the newly discovered medieval ruins in Danzhou City, right?" Liu Fei asked.
Of course, Mo Liang heard what everyone in the caravan was discussing, and he was also a little surprised when he first heard about it, he didn't expect to find an ancient ruin in Danzhou City so coincidentally, but he didn't have a purpose for the time being, if that medieval ruin really had something good, it wouldn't hurt to go in and take a look.
Thinking of this, Mo Liang nodded casually.
Seeing this, Liu Fei smiled and said, "A medieval relic is still alive, and it has never been developed, it will definitely attract some masters of the surrounding big families and sects to come and compete for it, but the more people there are, the more opportunities there are for us casual cultivators to fish in troubled waters." ”
"But I'm afraid those families and sects are not so easy to deal with."
In the end, Liu Fei sighed slightly.
Mo Liang's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "What does Brother Liu mean by this?" The ruins are ownerless, could it be that the families and sects of Danzhou City are so domineering that they don't want other monks to drink a little soup? ”
"Not really." Liu Fei shook his head slightly, and said, "Little brother, I guess you should have just stepped into the path of cultivation, and it's normal not to know this." ”
Then he asked, "Do you know why some of the Nine Rank Sects or a small number of Eight Rank Sects in our Danzhou Domain only have a modern ancient ruin?" ”
Without waiting for Mo Liang to answer, he said to himself: "That's because it is very difficult for the medieval ruins and the ancient ruins to get, not only to face the pressure of the outside world, but also to face the trouble of the ruins themselves. ”
This time, Mo Liang finally had a chance to ask: "What do you mean by the trouble of the ruins themselves?" ”
"Because the relics that can be inherited from antiquity or the Middle Ages, before they were destroyed, they were at least a six-grade sect, and there was no six-grade sect in the entire Danzhou region, so it can be seen how precious a medieval relic is."
"Because the medieval ruins and the ancient ruins have their own restrictions, some may not allow the entry of high cultivators, and some may not allow the entry of monks with malicious intentions, anyway, there are thousands of strange things, and the ancient ruins rarely have such restrictions, and most of the ancient ruins found can be brute-forced."
"But the use of brute force to crack the medieval ruins and ancient ruins does not work, and if you don't follow the rules of the ruins, you will be expelled from the ruins at least, or you will lose your life at the worst."
"That's why I said that those cultivation sects or cultivation families will not let us enter the ruins so easily, because they will send disciples or clansmen to enter it to explore the rules, and these disciples or clansmen sent are more cohesive and xenophobic, and they will unanimously exclude when they encounter forces or enemies that do not belong to themselves in the ruins."
"So even if we can enter the ruins, we must be careful of other sect disciples or family members, and try to avoid conflicts with them."
It was the first time Mo Liang had heard of Liu Fei's words, although he had entered the ruins of Qingyun Sect, it was only an ancient ruin, and there were no restrictions or conditions as Liu Fei said, and the ruins of Qingyun Sect had been developed for many years, so Mo Liang didn't feel too deeply.
He always thought that the so-called ruins were some ancient or medieval sects that sealed their own inheritance by some means, and waited until someone found it at some time in the future, and then everyone rushed up to divide the entire ruins, but after hearing Liu Fei's explanation, he realized that not everyone could get the inherited inheritance, and there must be a set of inheritance standards of their own, and only monks who met the standards could get the inheritance.
Mo Liang also understands this approach, if it were him, he would do the same, after all, no one wants their inheritance to fall into the hands of a waste material, and waste their own efforts in vain, one person is still like this, let alone a force?
"Brother Mo, according to our current speed, we will be able to reach Danzhou City before sunrise tomorrow, why don't you and I go together and explore the ancient ruins together, so that we can have a good response, what do you think?" Liu Fei asked with a smile.
"It's fine."
Mo Liang nodded, he didn't refuse, the reason why he agreed so happily was because although he had been awake for a while, there were too few channels to understand the information, and it was very inconvenient to obtain information, and the other reason was that he found that although Liu Fei was just a caravan guard, he had a wide range of knowledge, and from him Mo Liang felt that he might be able to get more information.
After getting Mo Liang's affirmative reply, Liu Fei was obviously a lot more relaxed, and he couldn't help but smile a little more, he noticed Mo Liang when he first joined the caravan a few days ago, and his intuition told him that this young man was not simple, so he took the initiative to communicate with Mo Liang, in order to attract Mo Liang to enter the newly born ruins with him, he had a hunch that there might be a great gain this time, as for why he felt like this, Liu Fei couldn't say.
Without saying a word all the way, the caravan moved slowly forward, and in this way, when the sun rose the next day, the outline of a city could already be seen in the eyes of everyone, even if it was far away, but the prosperity and majesty of the city could be seen from the walls of the city.
"There is Danzhou City ahead, everyone is in spirit, just this trembling, this caravan trip is over, and you can go home to your wife and children to warm the kang." In the caravan, the leader of the caravan turned around and shouted, and after everyone responded, the caravan rushed towards the distant city like an earthworm in the middle of a winding mountain road.
After walking for about two hours, the caravan finally came to the entrance of this magnificent city, and in front of the gate of the city, two groups of soldiers in black armor were on both sides, checking everyone who entered the city.
"If you want to enter the city, each person will have a low-level spirit stone."
Seeing the caravan coming, one of the leading soldiers spoke loudly.
The leader of the caravan said with a bitter face: "General Wang, weren't they all ten people with a low-level spirit stone before?" Why did you suddenly become a low-level spirit stone alone? ”
The general Wang was obviously very familiar with the leader of the caravan, and he reluctantly explained: "You also know about the recent discovery of the medieval ruins in Danzhou City, special circumstances, special handling methods, and besides, this is an order personally issued by the city lord, Lao Zhang, I also act according to the order, don't trouble me." ”
"Understand, understand, understand."
As soon as he heard that it was the order of the city lord himself, the leader of the caravan called Lao Zhang immediately lowered his posture a lot, and respectfully handed over a bag of spirit stones.
General Wang took stock of it, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand and instructed: "Go in, be careful, don't provoke the big guys." ”
Lao Zhang nodded again and again, and then he led the horse into the city, and the caravan behind him also followed him into Danzhou City.
As soon as he stepped into the city, Mo Liang suddenly felt a feeling of crowd of people, everywhere he looked, there were all bustling crowds, the streets were full of stalls selling groceries or snacks, and the pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry, everyone exuded not weak spiritual power fluctuations.
As the largest city in the Danzhou region, Danzhou City gathers countless monks from other places every day to trade or look for opportunities, this is a city dominated by monks, far from being comparable to the black market where Mo Liang was before.
"Brother Liu, where is that medieval relic in Danzhou City?"
Mo Liang asked, at this time, the two were walking side by side on the wide street, the pedestrians around them were in a hurry, the caravan was disbanded as soon as they entered the city, and almost all the people in the caravan were natives of Danzhou City, but because they did not have cultivation qualifications, they could not do business in the city even if they were locals, so they had to form a caravan and travel to the city.
Therefore, these people formed a caravan every season to travel to the merchants, and the starting and ending points of each caravan were in Danzhou City, so Mo Liang and Liu Fei were also separated from the others, and the two of them were ready to go to the medieval ruins to try their luck together.
"It is said to be about fifteen miles away from the west of the city, and I don't know the specifics, so it's better to find someone to ask and find out."
Liu Fei was a little ashamed.
Mo Liang didn't care, the two talked and walked forward, and when they were walking, a little beggar in ragged clothes passed by Mo Liang quickly with his head down, and just as he was about to leave, Mo Liang suddenly reached out and grabbed the little beggar's thin arm.
"Who are you? What do you want? ”
The little beggar was grabbed by Mo Liang's arm, screamed in pain, and tried hard to break free from Mo Liang's claws, but Mo Liang's hand grabbed him like an iron tong, and he was not moved at all.
"Brother Mo, who are you?"
Liu Fei on the side asked puzzledly, and the pedestrians around him also stopped to watch when they saw this scene, and some of them looked at the little beggar with a playful look in their eyes, as if they were laughing at his indiscretion.
"Take it out." Mo Liang said lightly.
"What are you talking about, I don't understand, hurry up and let me go, I'm going to call someone, help, someone is bullying children in broad daylight, is there anyone in charge, and is there a royal law." The little beggar shouted, his long unkempt hair obscuring a pair of whirling eyes underneath.
