Chapter 45: Suppression and Protection

The time on the flying boat passed quickly, and Xie Zhengliu only felt that he had only cultivated for a short time, and when he opened his eyes again, the flying boat had already stopped firmly at the gate of the Crying Ghost City.

As its name suggests, Ghost Crying City is a large city that can accommodate nearly 10,000 people, but when you look at it from the outside, you can only see its walls towering high and like iron barrels.

Outside the city of Weeping Ghost is a lonely wasteland, with only one road leading in all directions, bringing news to the outside world for this town that seems to be isolated in the wilderness.

The group left the flying boat under the leadership of Feng Yang, and after Feng Yang waved his hand to take the flying boat, he led everyone to the tall city gate.

The thick walls cut off the sounds from inside and outside, making the city in front of it as quiet as if it were dead.

One of the senior brothers who was arranged to come over said strangely: "Senior Brother Fengyang, haven't we already mentioned to the senior brothers in the city that we are coming, why don't we see them come out to greet them now, let alone anyone open the city gate?" ”

"Don't worry, the gates of this Crying Ghost City are not so easy to open. You have to remember what I'm going to do next, and I'll want you to continue to come here to deliver supplies in the future. ”

After Feng Yang finished explaining to everyone, he stepped forward and knocked on the door in a way of three long and two short. The heavy gate made a dull sound, and after a while, a strange blue vortex slowly appeared on the gate made of dark iron.

Xie Zhengliu and the others were amazed, and Zhuang Youqian wanted to ask, but he was startled by the voice coming from the whirlpool: "Token!" ”

Feng Yang skillfully took out a green jade token from the storage bag and threw it directly into the vortex.

The vortex quickly engulfed the token, and the person on the other side quickly checked it, and the vortex immediately spat out a "pass".

With this pass, the token was spit out again.

After Feng Yang took the token, he pulled everyone back a few steps.

As soon as they regained their footing, they saw that the door in front of them slowly opened a gap for only three people walking side by side.

Seeing this, someone said strangely: "Why is the control of this Crying Ghost City stricter than our Hengtian Sect?" ”

"It's not stricter than Hengtian Sect, after all, under this city, what is suppressed is one of the passages leading from the Demon Domain to the Cultivation Realm!"

In Feng Yang's explanation, everyone quickly passed through the gap in the door, and also crossed the barrier set in front of the door.

At the moment when they crossed the barrier and completely stepped into the Ghost Crying City, countless noises and shouts came into their ears. The fireworks in the world instantly dragged everyone into the world of ordinary people.

Unlike the desolation and loneliness outside the city, the world inside the city is no different from the ordinary city, the long street is lined with tall buildings of all kinds, and countless stalls stretch from the city gate all the way to the square in the center of the city.

And in the middle of the square, which led to the four city districts, the statue of the first city lord was looking down on the people in the city with a kind face.

Xie Zhengliu's gaze unconsciously stayed on the statue for a while, she always felt that the statue was carved like this, there was a kind of weirdness.

Without waiting for Xie Zhengliu to look any further, the disciples of Hengtian Sect, who had been waiting for everyone at the gate of the city for a long time, took the initiative to meet them.

"Fengyang, you came at a good time. I thought I'd have to wait at least a little longer. The female cultivator in a blue dress led a male cultivator to step forward quickly, she held a sword in her right hand, her body was tough and soft, with a clear aura that belonged to the disciples of Hengtian Sect.

Feng Yang also hurriedly bowed his hand to the other party: "Senior Sister Mingxin, Senior Brother Minghe." I'm waiting to deliver supplies for my brothers and sisters, why dare I be late? ”

"You're still so good at talking." The male nun named Minghe was very tall, and his tendons and flesh showed a distinct shape under the thin clothes.

Standing in front of him, even Fengyang looked a little petite.

The three of them briefly talked for a few words, and quickly turned their attention to Xie Zhengliu's disciples.

Mingxin saw Xie Zhengliu at a glance, and there was a touch of closeness in his eyes: "These are the new disciples that the sect master ordered you to bring, right?" I have long heard that our Hengtian Sect has a few more talented fellow disciples, and today I saw that the rumors were indeed true. ”

Minghe even slapped Yue Mingqiu and Qin Siyuan on the shoulder, looking very satisfied with them: "Yes, this body is much stronger than the senior brother at the beginning." ”

Yue Mingqiu and Qin Siyuan, who had been warmly "cared for" by their senior brother, almost failed to stand firm.

"Okay, let's stop standing here, Senior Sister will take you to the sect's residence to have a look." Mingxin took the initiative to stand beside Xie Zhengliu and made no secret of his favor for her.

As early as the beginning of the establishment of Crying Ghost City, several major sects set up their own sect stations here. Among them, the Hengtian Sect, which was the first to guard the wasteland, occupies the largest area, and the location of the station is also the best.

Ming Xin, who led them here, quickly arranged a place for Xie Zhengliu and the others to live, according to the description on the task card, they needed to stay in the Crying Ghost City for ten days, and when this group of people were completely familiar with the operation in the Crying Ghost City, they could leave with the senior brothers and sisters who had completed the garrison task.

Mingxin, who led them the way, was a very talkative person, and his attitude towards Xie Zhengliu was especially good. This also made Yue Mingqiu, Zhuang Youqian and others who were with Xie Zhengliu also gain together.

For example, now, without Xie Zhengliu opening his mouth to ask, Mingxin took the initiative to tell all the information he knew: "You should know that the establishment of Crying Ghost City was to suppress a crack in the Demon Domain underground. But because the crack has slowly widened over the years, there will continue to be demons escaping from there and disturbing the world. Our Hengtian Sect has to arrange new disciples to come and garrison every year, just to ensure that the demon clan will not flee here. ”

"Now in charge of us is Senior Brother Yuan Hao, he is the eldest disciple of the Three Elders, he is an honest and reliable person, and his swordsmanship is outstanding. However, Senior Brother Yuan Hao has been stationed here for more than fifteen years, and it is time to go back and rest. ”

It is precisely because of this that the sect master will arrange Fengyang to take over the important task of Yuan Hao. When Feng Yang completes his ten years of training here, he will be able to succeed to the position of sect master more easily in the future.

These words were not told to the three of them directly, but Xie Zhengliu and the others had already guessed the hidden meaning.

"Oh yes." Mingxin suddenly looked at Xie Zhengliu, "I heard that my junior sister learned knives?" That's a coincidence, the first city lord of this Crying Ghost City is also a sword cultivator. In the next ten days, if you are free, you may be able to go to the Sword Soul Pavilion under his statue to have a clear understanding. ”

Xie Zhengliu was also interested when he heard this, a person who even had a statue full of compassion could be a sword cultivator who was famous for his fierceness?

It's getting more and more interesting.
