Chapter 254: Ban on the City Gate
As the sun sets, the city gate of Dingzhou City has an endless flow of people coming and going, and they hurry up to get in and out before the night has completely fallen, and most people rush to the city. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. [com]
Flying is forbidden in Dingzhou City, no matter how hurried the monks are, once they approach the city gate, they must put away the flying magic weapon in advance, so as not to be shot down by the city gate formation prohibition, and if they don't make trouble, they may be captured by the city gate guards.
When the sun was about to disappear below the horizon completely, more than twenty body refiners on each side of the city gate used all their strength to push the hinge mechanism, and the thick blue and black black light city gate slowly closed in the middle.
"Wait, wait a minute!" Four monks hurried from outside the city to the city gates, and one of the young men shouted loudly.
The captain of the guard, who was standing in the middle of the city gate, glanced at it, and saw that the four people, two men and two women, looked good, raised his hand and signaled his subordinates to pause for a moment, and the city gate was set aside a zhang wide for the four to pass.
This group of people was Yan Xu and the four people accompanying him, Deng Yu, Zhao Yan and Ziyun, Deng Yu rushed to the front and shouted at the city gate guards.
After the four of them entered the city gate, Deng Yu hugged his fists and thanked the captain of the guard: "Thank you, Daoyou!" Otherwise, we'll have to sleep out tonight. ”
"Recently, the management of Dingzhou City is very strict, if you take a breath a little later, you can only sleep outside! It's okay to let you in, but you'll have to verify your identity before you can let you in. The captain of the guard did not hesitate to speak, and ordered someone to lead Yan Xu and the four of them to verify their identities in the side hall behind the city gate.
Not only did Yan Xu and his group enter the city, but there were also more than a dozen monks in the side hall lined up in a line waiting for their identities to be verified.
Before the city gate was closed, the entire protective magic circle was completely opened, and the people entering and exiting did not need to go here to verify it at all, and the formation could complete the qualification for this person to enter the city.
Of course, there will always be loopholes in the rules. Otherwise, how could Lu Zhengyun, a monk of the Martial Kingdom, be able to infiltrate Dingzhou and take down the huge property of the auction house.
"It's strange why the gate of Dingzhou is closed so early, and the identity verification is stricter than before." Deng Yu and the three of them have never been to Dingzhou, and they don't know. Yan Xu remembered clearly that the last time he came, he had never been so troublesome, and the city gate would only be closed when he arrived.
Yan Xu muttered to himself in confusion, and a scribe dressed as a monk in front of him turned his head and looked back, and said with a smile: "Look at a few people in a hurry, I'm afraid I haven't been here for a while." ”
This man is self-acquainted. Enthusiastically explained to Yan Xu: "Do you know the largest auction house in Dingzhou? It is said that it was controlled by the spies of the Wu State, and such a big incident occurred, and the natural management was strict, and the city gate was opened at sunrise and closed at sunset! ”
"Wu Guo spies?" Yan Xu couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "When did this happen?" ”
Yan Xu is not too familiar with Dingzhou City, but he is still very familiar with the auction house. Not only did he spend a lot of money at the auction, but he also sent several items to auction, especially the chief auctioneer Yuan Xi's sharp mouth was even more impressive.
"About half a year ago, after the sect discussion meeting, the city lord sent people to block the auction house and arrested many monks." Another monk waiting in line interjected.
"After the Sect Discussion Conference? Indeed, I have never heard of it. "Yan Xu led his disciples back to the sect to practice mostly in retreat, so naturally he didn't know the situation in Dingzhou. Deng Yu, Zhao Yan and Ziyun are even more unlikely to know.
Yan Xu asked more about the situation, but a few people around him couldn't answer, although it was rumored that this matter was related to the Wu State spies, but after all, there was no conclusive news promulgated by the City Lord's Mansion, and the truth of the matter was obviously not known to ordinary monks.
"The auction house was seized, isn't the transaction quite difficult?" Deng Yu wanted to see the auction, but he didn't expect the auction house to be seized, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
The scribe dressed as a monk replied, "For us monks, the impact is not too great, after all, the auction is a big deal. I can't participate a few times a year. However, more or less this Dingzhou City is still a little deserted. ”
In the eyes of this person, Yan Xu and the others have never seen the Taoist robes they are wearing, and it is impossible for them to come from a famous family, but they should be similar to their own identity. That's why I'm enthusiastic about sticking over and chatting.
As he was talking, it was the turn of the team to verify the identities of these people, and Yan Xu and the four of them followed closely to verify their identities, leaving the city gate and heading to the inner city.
The verification method is not troublesome, in addition to showing the sect identity token, it can be passed through an arched corridor.
Entering the inner city, looking at the outline of the City Lord's Mansion faintly visible in the center of the city, Yan Xu secretly thought to himself: "There are actually Wu Guo spies, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple!" What is the city lord Xu Wanyu planning, it is better to find out. ”
The city gate is closed at sunset, but this does not affect the prosperity of Dingzhou City after nightfall, even Xiuzhen City is not exempt from vulgarity, and the first day of the lanterns is the most lively time of the day.
Zhao Yan and Ziyun hadn't entered the city for a long time, the two walked together and whispered, sometimes laughing quietly and looking in a good mood, while Deng Yu silently followed Yan Xu's side.
Walking on the streets of the bustling Dingzhou Night Market, Yan Xu couldn't help but feel in a trance, as if he had returned to the earth era, and he had also walked on the lively pedestrian street with the girl he had a crush.
Yan Xu touched his nose, the appearance of the girl he had a crush on seemed to be a little blurry, but he was afraid that he might not have thought that there would be a day when he would travel to the world of cultivation and reminisce about the past on the streets of this other world.
Sensing a gaze, Yan Xu looked up, only to see Zhao Yan looking down and retracting his gaze, his cheeks were slightly flushed, but he didn't know if it was the light or other reasons.
"This area is not the most prosperous place in the inner city, let's go to the inn to rest first, and then make a special trip to enjoy it in two days." Yan Xu quickened his pace and led the three of them to Qingyun Inn.
When he arrived at Qingyun Inn, Yan Xu chose the other courtyard where he stayed last time, since there were conditions, Yan Xu preferred to choose a familiar environment.
"The guest officer came for the first time, and he actually chose this set of courtyards with excellent environment, but he has good eyesight!" The shopkeeper looked at Yan Xu and said with a smile.
Yan Xu smiled slightly and didn't say much, the environment of the courtyard is quiet, there are several side rooms, enough for a group of four people to stay.
It is not difficult to be the shopkeeper of a large restaurant inn in Dingzhou City, even if he is not high, he is a monk, and it is not difficult to remember the faces of guests with his far more than mortal sense.
It's just that the last time Yan Xu came to Dingzhou, he used the Blood Crystal Nine Transformation to change his appearance, and this time Yan Xu signaled his true face, and the shopkeeper naturally couldn't recognize it at all.
When passing by the pavilion by the lotus pond, Yan Xu remembered that he had drunk with Beituguang here, and said secretly: "Beituguang has an uninhibited temperament, but he has obtained the Shijing inheritance "Bingyan Xuangong", I don't know how he is doing in the clan? ”
In the Holy Dao War Ruins, Yan Xu activated the ancient sect inheritance in the four stone scriptures in one go, one of which was the Xuan-level high-grade water system exercise "Bingyan Xuangong".
If it weren't for Yan Xu's activism, it would be impossible for the people of the Northern Underworld Mansion to realize this technique before the Holy Dao Battle Ruins were closed.
Bei Tuguang and his uncle Bei Lingyun were transmitted by Yan Xu, and only then did they realize that the Stone Sutra was empowered to inherit the "Bing Yan Xuangong", if it weren't for the fact that Bei Tuguang was too special, Yan Xu really didn't want to ignite Bei Lingyun.
However, Rao is like this, Beitu Guang didn't want to be too sharp in the clan, but he was afraid that after this incident, it would be difficult to keep a low profile in the future.
The inheritance exercise of the Northern Hades Mansion "Northern Hell Cold Water Gong" is only a lower grade of the Xuan Rank, and the "Bing Yan Xuan Gong" is also a water system exercise, but the grade has been fully improved by two levels, and it is bound to be highly valued by the Northern Hades Mansion.
Let Deng Yu and the three of them go back to the room to make arrangements, there is no need for Yan Xu to ask, and said secretly: "Take Deng Yu and Ziyun to finish their business, but they will meet this drunkard for a while." ”
This time I came to Dingzhou City, in addition to purchasing the spiritual grass needed for Zhuji Dan, the most important thing was to let Deng Yu and Ziyun be recognized by the guild, so as to start the name of Tianhao Sect's refining and alchemy, and prepare for the next step.
