Chapter 64: The Ark
The land of heavenly forsaken is an ancient land that is inaccessible and not favored by the heavens, the area is not less than any empire, between the six empires of Yanlong, Xuanyang, Haotian, Kunlun, Xiayuan, and Darong, and the north is the central cloud realm.
Yin and Yang City, the largest city in the world, built in the center of the abandoned land, is said to have a history of thousands of years, why the name Yin and Yang, is therefore the lord of the city is the Yin and Yang clan. The first generation of the head of the Yin-Yang clan spent 30 years to build the Yin-Yang Palace, and the later generations used a round wall of 40 zhang to enclose the Yin-Yang Palace, and then expanded the city arch guard on the periphery, as if it had become a small country. Yin Yang City also has another name, the City of Innocence, a paradise that does not close the door at night and does not leave people to be kind, on the contrary, it is not under the control of the empire, and the Yin and Yang clan also turns a blind eye to the high wall, so there is no royal law here! Green buildings, gambling houses, black markets, etc., those things that are not tolerated by the empire of the world, can be as good as the sky here.
However, the city of innocence does not have royal laws, but there are rules.
Who sets the rules?
Emperor of the Eight Gates.
The city wall of the Yin-Yang Palace has eight gates, dividing the Innocence City into eight fan-shaped territories, each of which must be controlled by an earth emperor, neither more nor less, which is also the only rule of the Yin-Yang Clan for the Innocence City.
Yin Yang City welcomes visitors from all over the world to enjoy their faces, but the land of heaven abandonment is too vast, and even the Ten Directions Dao Monarch is difficult to fly into the city with a sword in one breath, so Yin Yang City is friendly with the six neighboring empires, and sets up an ark platform in a big city close to each empire, so that visitors can fly to Yin and Yang City by ark.
The ark, created by the Heavenly Pivot of the Central Cloud Realm, this kind of heavenly thing can be called a miracle of the monastic world, and the principle is superior to the cultivator's sword, because an ark runs an esoteric rune formation, carrying the ark with the power of heaven and earth aura, which is the supreme creation of the Celestial Pivot. A small ark that can accommodate dozens of people can be controlled by only six people from the Spirit Realm, and the largest heavenly boat in the Central Cloud Realm is more than two hundred zhang long, like a pavilion in the sky, and must be fully controlled by nine Ten Directions Dao Monarchs. At first, the ark was only in the central cloud realm, and only the most noble Tianxi in the world was qualified to ride, and there was no one in the Nineteen Empires, but there was still a special case, that is, Yin Yang City.
Because the Yin-Yang family has sworn that all eternity belongs to the Central Cloud Realm, and the big man behind the scenes who controls the Yin-Yang Family is a certain Tianxi person in the Central Cloud Realm.
……
At dusk, Zong Yang took Yuan Ben into Huangtu City, the second largest city in the Yanlong Empire, and after some inquiry, he learned that he had to take an ark to go to Yin Yang City. The two rushed to the center of the city non-stop, and watched the prosperity of Huangtu City, and finally found the so-called Ark Hall after walking for half an hour.
One thousand taels of silver, this is the most prosperous incense in the Taoist Temple of Heaven, and it can only be saved in a hundred years. Fortunately, he got 50,000 taels from the son of Wucheng Mu, which is the silver that can only be earned by selling tofu at the street without eating or drinking for thousands of years, otherwise even if he brought the 1,000 taels given by Qingqiu Hanzi Niu, in addition to the expenses along the way, there would not be enough silver to sit on the boat.
Zong Yang had a great emotion when he handed over two thousand taels, the master had never seen a full fifty taels of silver in his life, and the master and apprentice had to worry about filling their stomachs every day, which made him feel that money was really just something outside his body.
Because money can't buy the incomparably precious things in Zong Yang's eyes, the bitterness is happy. Ask, what could be more delicious than that chicken leg?
Passing through the heavily guarded high walls, on a high platform in a clearing, the two people who didn't know what the ark was finally saw the parked ark, and Yuan Ben asked in wonder: "Hey, this is a big coffin?" ”
The ark is shaped like a boat, but the whole thing is sealed, except for the rows of windows on both sides, the rest of the place is richly carved and decorated, and the head of the boat has a striking symbol, which is a black and white half circle.
Zong Yang also saw Fang Zhou for the first time, and knew that he should bring the master's ash jar, and a beautiful woman who led them to come laughed, and the smile obviously implied disdain for the big and small buns in front of him, of course the childlike Yuan Ben would not notice, and Zong Yang turned a blind eye.
The beautiful woman sent Zong Yang and Yuan Ben to the high platform, and entered the interior along the stairs lowered at the end of the ark, which was actually very simple, with a corridor covered with a high-quality blanket in the middle, with a dozen doors on each side, and a closed iron door at the end.
The beautiful woman stood in front of the door in the middle, smiled like a spring breeze and said: "Two sons, this is your room, please wait for the two sons to enter first, and the ark will fly to Yin Yang City immediately." When the ark flies into the air, there will be a rune array opened, and the two sons are invited not to go out of the room. ”
Zong Yang advanced into the room, saying that the room was not as good as a small secret room one or two zhang square, only one window let in the light, in addition to the decorations and murals on the four walls, there was only a table in the center, some fruits and pastries, and two pots of wine or tea.
The beautiful woman turned around and retreated, and Yuan Ben entered the room and closed the door.
It didn't take long for Yuan Ben, who had nothing to do, opened the door again, walked around in the corridor, and when the novelty was gone, he turned back to the room and ate pastries, Zong Yang was meditating on his knees, but he heard the footsteps coming from the corridor, a woman smiled charmingly, and a fragrance that was more charming than the noodles in the deep alley of Wutuo Town wafted into the room.
A moment later, I saw the two figures in the lead.
A man with white hair and a bewitching face held his head high, wearing a black mink coat out of place, and his left hand was holding a beautiful woman in purple clothes with a fragrant shoulder, talking and laughing.
The glamorous woman happened to glance at Zong Yang, and there was a fleeting different color in her eyes, while Zong Yang, who was also looking at the beautiful woman, couldn't recognize the other party's identity at all, but she was a little familiar with her temperament.
The man and woman disappeared into the doorway, and then walked past the two silent brocade men behind them.
"Except for the woman, who is not exactly the Ten Directions Dao Monarch Realm, the other three are, and the white-haired one is a bit powerful." Yuan Ben said one by one.
Zong Yang knew that what Yuan Ben was talking about was a bit powerful, and it was already very powerful, and the fox demon Chiqi was not qualified to make this judgment.
Not long after closing the door, the ark flew into the air, and the runes covered in the room that Zong Yang had been paying attention to finally moved, but only a flash of light was emitted, only the window was covered with a layer of light yellow light, thinking that it was some kind of imprisoned rune array, so as not to let some people with bad intentions destroy the ark.
The two pots turned out to be a pot of wine and a pot of tea, a pot of wine can obviously only warm the stomach of the two brothers, when Yuan Ben learned that the two thousand taels spent could buy so many steamed buns with Yuhua stone paved on a certain street in Huangtu City, he ate all the fruits and pastries, and brought the pot of tea, saying that it was a little bit back to eat.
The angry Yuan Ben was attracted by the scenery outside the window after a while, overlooking the earth, mountains, rivers and cities from a high altitude, and the white clouds were all in front of him, which was indeed more imposing than a glance at the mountains.
After Zong Yang asked, he realized that Yuan Ben did not have a natal object, so he of the Ten Directions Dao Jun had not flown in the air yet.
Zong Yang stepped on Mu Tian's flying sword and went to Qingqiu from Tiantai Mountain, so he didn't care much about the scenery outside the window of the boat.
Yuan Ben looked at it for a long time and fell asleep, Zong Yang closed his eyes and recuperated, since he came out of Qingqiu, he has not cultivated the Prajna Sun Essence Sutra again, after all, there is no chance along the way, on this ark, since there are ten directions Dao Jun here, it is better to be cautious, so he has to wait until he reaches Yin Yang City and then double his cultivation.
There are some atlases on the ark, there are rough maps of the world, and only some famous mountains and rivers of each empire are depicted, but the six empires around the forsaken land mark the city where the ark departs, and the Huangtu City of the Yanlong Empire is impressively listed. In addition, there is a brochure about Yin Yang City, which mainly provides a summary introduction and related warnings.
Zong Yang read all the books while recuperating his mind, during which Yuan Ben suddenly woke up, but he picked up the incense burner on the table as a urinal, and filled it with urine, and when Zong Yang found out, it was too late to stop it, and Yuan Ben fell down again satisfied after doing this dirty thing.
The notice of the Ark Hall said that the Ark flew for three hours and arrived at Yin Yang City, out of curiosity about the abandoned land, Zong Yang stood at the window and looked down after an hour, but found that he could not see any scenery except for the white clouds full of white clouds.
Another hour passed.
Yuan Ben suddenly woke up inexplicably, stood up as if he had been evil, roared and rushed to the window, and smashed the light mask on the window with his hand, and the light mask was only like being hit by a stone on the surface of the water, rippling and rippling.
The people in the other rooms thought that some of the newly grown boys couldn't stand the sound and went crazy.
Zong Yang went to stop Yuan Ben, but found that Yuan Ben's eyes were blood-red, and the phantom of the divine ape began to appear on his body, but Yuan Ben obviously lost his mind, and the phantom of the divine ape came and went.
In a panic, Yuan Ben bit Zong Yang's right arm, and his blood-red eyes were violently opened and bit to death.
Zong Yang was silent.
After more than a dozen breaths, the force on Yuan Ben's mouth began to lighten, and he slowly quieted down.
When Yuan Ben completely regained his senses and let go of his mouth to see the bloody tooth marks on Zong Yang's right arm, he turned his head and looked at Zong Yang guiltily, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and shouted: "Big brother! ”
Zong Yang touched Yuan Ben's head and smiled slightly.
