Chapter 1247: Night Demon City
It just so happened that Ye Tian had no way to inquire about the news now, if he went to this mission with them, he should be able to inquire about some news he wanted to know.
He now needed to know why he couldn't use his aura, and he needed to find the material to repair the space and bring it back.
After all, he still has all the sentient beings in that world tied to Fang Cai in his heart, and he doesn't want that world to collapse and be sucked into nutrients, otherwise everything he struggles for will be empty.
Then Ye Tian followed the team on the road.
"Brother Ye, dare to ask what level of cultivation you have reached now. Zhang Liang asked Ye Tian.
"Zhang Liang, how can you ask people. Lin Lin next to him looked at Zhang Liang with some reproach, if what Ye Tian said was true, then he was alone outside, and it was not easy to reveal his cultivation.
"To tell you the truth, I have been cultivating with my father since I was a child, and I have been alone since my father's death, and I don't know what to do next when I reach the bottleneck, so I came out to practice. Ye Tian said with a smile.
"That's right. ”
Gu Yuan, who was in the lead, heard Ye Tian's words, and turned his head to say.
"If Brother Ye trusts me, you can display your cultivation, and we can help you determine which realm you are in now. ”
Facing Gu Yuan's words, Ye Tian just shook his head helplessly.
"For some reason, I couldn't use my aura after descending the mountain, and everything I learned before was hindered in its operation, so I couldn't move when I confronted the python before. ”
Seeing that Ye Tian finished speaking, Gu Yuan nodded and turned his head again.
Now they don't know how many of Ye Tian's words are true or false, it's just that this person is in the wilderness and wilderness, and seeing what he said moved his heart of compassion to bring him with him.
Regardless of whether what Ye Tian said was true or not, since he didn't want to show his strength rashly, it was not good for them to ask further, otherwise it would seem a little aggressive.
When I reached a corner, the road suddenly opened up, and there were more pedestrians in a hurry next to me.
"I'm in Night Demon City dozens of miles ahead, since Brother Ye doesn't know the situation in this world, then I'll explain it to you. Lin Li saw that it was almost there, and said to Ye Tian enthusiastically.
"Okay, that's for you. ”
Hearing Ye Tian's promise, Lin Lin began to speak.
"Demon Slaying City was once a fortress, and the burial ground of the gods and demons we passed through was a battlefield long ago, and this fortress guarded this battlefield and never let the enemy army take it. ”
Later, after the war ended, it became a gathering point for people, and there was an endless stream of vendors. So the general at that time ordered the construction of a castle on this place. ”
"In the end, because the withdrawal of the Demon Realm left behind many prisoners of war and orphans, who lived with humans here, it was named Demon City, which can be regarded as a tribute to those wars. ”
Listening to Lin Lin's description, Ye Tian also knew a little more about this world, the demon world and this world seemed to have been at war many years ago, but he didn't know which side won or lost when the war ended.
"Look, this is Daredevil. ”
What caught my eye was the quaint gray-black city wall, densely covered with grooves and cracks, and many remnants were imprinted on the wall, emitting a solemn breath.
"This city wall has a long history, and the groove notches and those weapons on it are all left over from the war, and after the general site is built, this must be preserved, saying that it is to keep people vigilant to the invasion of the demons at all times. ”
Ye Tian looked at this city wall, what he saw was not the weapons one after another or those dents, his eyes saw that the remnants of these weapons were gathered in one place in the city wall, in the shape of a gray-black ball, looking at that, it seemed to be nourishing something.
Ye Tian looked at the few people around him, looking at those knife marks with awe in his eyes, and didn't notice the mysterious power in the wall.
Could it be that he has a special ability when he arrives in this world?
Ye Tian was a little self-deprecating when he thought of this, he had been cultivating for many years, how could he suddenly have such a strange idea.
He shook his head, seeing that the people around him didn't notice it, and he wasn't ready to say anything, but just followed a few people towards the city gate.
The gates of the city were made of black gold and were very hard, and a long table was placed at the entrance to the city, where several soldiers stood to check the flow of people.
When the men walked to the table, they showed the soldier a token in their hands, and then the soldier nodded and let the man go with him.
"Brother Gu, what are they showing the soldiers?" Ye Tian asked Gu Yuan.
"Brother Ye, don't you know? I doubt that you are from our world. Gu Yuan looked at Ye Tian with a smile.
When Ye Tian heard him say this, he felt vigilant in his heart, could it be that this artifact is relatively common in this world? If this is the case, then it seems that it is not good for him to ask this question.
"This is an identity token for each of us, generally when you are born, your identity will be registered, recorded, and then you will be made an identity token, and after you cultivate, inject your own unique aura, so that it is your exclusive identity token, not only cultivators, but even ordinary people have it. Gu Yuan explained this token to Ye Tian.
The more Ye Tian listened, the more he had a bad feeling, this identity token seemed to be something that proved a person's identity in this world, it seemed to be quite important, and if he couldn't prove his identity, it would not be so convenient to pass.
"Ye Tian, don't you have this token?" asked Xu on the side.
"My life since I was a child has been with my parents, and my parents are also normal farmers in addition to cultivation, and they rarely go out, and I have never seen this thing. ”
"If you haven't seen it, it's a little too much to say. Lin Kai raised his eyes to look at Ye Tian, his eyes were full of disdain, he was the one who objected to Ye Tian's entry into the team before.
"But I really haven't seen it. Ye Tian replied.
Everyone saw that Ye Tian's sure demeanor didn't look like he was lying, but the fact that there was no identity token was not big or small, and those creatures who came from the demon world also did not have identity tokens, and they were often caught and imprisoned without much travel.
Half a salary, Gu Yuan stepped forward and said.
"That's it, Brother Ye, let's take you in first, and then you need to go to the Candle Soul Shop to prove your identity and make sure that you are not from the Demon Realm, so that you can reissue an identity token. ”
"Good. Ye Tian agreed.
Now the best way is to enter the city first, inquire about the news and then think about what to do next, since he is just self-prove, then he is indeed not from the demon world, there should be nothing difficult to do.
Then the group walked towards the city gate.
Stop, show the token, and tell the purpose of the trip. When the soldier saw that there were many of them, he stopped them.
The team members showed their tokens one by one, and when Ye Tian arrived, before he could tell the soldiers the reason, Gu Yuan spoke first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are from Jiyun Island, and we have been ordered by the master to go to Ziluo Island from here to pay respects to the grand event. ”
The soldiers looked at each other, and the leader was suddenly a little inexplicable, besides, does this matter have anything to do with them.
"That's right, this is our little junior brother, since he was a child, he was raised by an elder on the mountain and did not go through the world, and no one took him down to handle it, so this trip happened to be handled in the city. ”
Seeing him say this, the soldiers understood.
"This is easy to do, you show the token of your master, and we can let you into the city. ”
Seeing this, Gu Yuan took out another token from his arms and gave it to several soldiers, and after they observed it carefully, he nodded to one of the soldiers sitting at the table, and then said to Gu Yuan and his party.
"Alright, you can go in. ”
Ye Tian followed the group into the city, but he didn't say much on the way, after all, as soon as this incident came out, it was too troublesome for this Gu Yuan, and he was a little embarrassed.
Walking to an intersection, Gu Yuan turned around and said to Ye Tian.
"In this way, let Senior Sister Lin Lin take you to the Candle Soul Hall to prove your identity, and let's go find a place to transfer to the airship first. After speaking, he paused, and looked at Ye Tian with a serious face.
"If you can prove your innocence, we will wait for you to leave a place for you, if you can't prove your innocence, then Senior Sister Lin Lin will come back by herself, and we won't care about your other affairs. ”
"Don't blame us for being ruthless, we still don't want to have the ties of the Demon Realm come in and harm our world. ”
The atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, and seeing Gu Yuan's suspicious words, everyone on the side was silent.
Seeing this, Ye Tian had no choice but to follow them and go to the Candle Soul Hall with that Lin Lin.
He knew that his identity was not clear, and sooner or later there would be an incident, but he didn't expect that entering the city gate would arouse suspicion so soon.
According to Gu Yuan's arrangement, he followed Lin Lin together, and the two of them didn't talk to each other on the way.
The clothes on his body had already changed, and after Gu Yuan rescued him, he saw that he was in rags, so he took out a set of clothes from his storage space and gave it to Ye Tian to change.
Listen to Gu Yuan's clothes are made of silk made of the skin of the Sea Lotus Demon, the skin of this demon beast is different from others, it can be kind to the aura floating in the heaven and earth, which is conducive to cultivation.
Ye Tian observed these people while hurrying away.
It won't be long before the Candle Soul Hall arrives.
Standing at the door, Lin Lin said with his back to Ye Tian.
"Although I don't know what your true identity is, but after such a short time of getting along, I don't think you are a wicked person, I hope you won't let me down after you go in and prove yourself. ”
After speaking, without waiting for Ye Tian to reply, he went straight in, Ye Tian was a little inexplicable, he and she were just friends on the road, and they hadn't experienced anything together, how could they think about these strange things.
It is said that the name of the Candle Soul Hall is related to the soul, I thought it would be a dull tone of the whole body, but I never thought that the temples I saw before were different, the whole body was silver and white, and there were exquisite reliefs in the temple.
The most eye-catching thing was a strange object in the center of the hall, several rings around each other, and the cold blue fire in the middle shone there, and the flames seemed to reflect the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of all beings.
Seeing that Ye Tian's attention was attracted by the items in the center, Lin Lin spoke.
"This is the Holy Lord Soul Fire of our Central Holy Continent, and almost every Candle Soul Hall has a wisp of soul fire that is differentiated by the Holy Lord, which symbolizes safety for the people. After all, another important purpose of the Candle Soul Hall was to store soul fire. ”
Soul fire is a very important thing for monks, if you go out to seek adventures, or retreat and practice, it will divide into a wisp of soul fire and hand it over to a trusted person for safekeeping, because soul fire symbolizes life and death, if the soul fire is extinguished due to external forces, the body will also be counterattacked.
After speaking, he pulled Ye Tian to the front desk.
"Hello, I need to apply for an identity token. ”
The young lady at the front desk smiled professionally and lit up at the two, and randomly took out paper and pen from her hand.
"Please fill out this application form first, fill it out and go to the certificate room to prove it to the person in charge, and you can get the identity token after passing. ”
It's really interesting, Ye Tian had never seen this kind of standardized process before, and the efficiency was so fast, which was rare in his original world.
Lin Lin instructed Ye Tian to fill it out, and then took Ye Tian to the proof room.
The four walls of the proof room are white, and in the middle of it sits a person looking at the paper in his hand, not knowing what he is thinking.
Seeing Ye Tian come in, the man put down the document in his hand and looked up at the two people who came in.
"Self-identification?"
Seeing Ye Tian nodding, the man walked out from behind the table again, and imprinted a jade talisman on Ye Tian's forehead with lightning speed.
Seeing this change, Ye Tian wanted to block it, but he couldn't use his aura, and his hands were half raised and he was restrained.
Lin Lin next to her didn't move, after all, she is the aboriginal here, and these people in charge deliberately put the jade talisman on their foreheads at the moment when people relaxed their vigilance to sense whether this person has the intention of harming this world.
The jade talisman gradually shone brightly, and the light enveloped Ye Tian's head, and Ye Tian felt a strange aura scanning in his mind.
After a cup of tea, the light slowly faded. Yu Pei didn't make any other moves, and after the person in charge observed carefully, he took the paper in Lin Lin's hand, put it on the table, stamped it, and handed it back, signaling that they could go.
Seeing that the proof was over, Lin Lin hurriedly pulled Ye Tian, who had not yet come back to his senses, out of the door, his eyes were full of joy.
......
Not long after they left, the jade talisman on the table slowly flickered with gray-white light.
The person in charge looked at this light with some doubts, so he took out a parchment roll from under the table, opened it to check it, and slowly muttered it in his mouth.
"Stateless: not dangerous. Tawny Light: The Demon Realm ......"
There is another line of words on the other side.
"Gray and white light: not of this world. ”
The person in charge saw this and hurriedly chased him out.
At this moment, Ye Tian had already taken his identity token and walked on the street, but Lin Lin next to him was smiling, just like two people when he entered the Candle Soul Palace.
"What, I'm happy to see that I don't have any other problems?"
Seeing Ye Tian say this, Lin Lin was a little embarrassed.
"No, it's good that you're not a bad person, at least it proves that I'm not wrong. ”
Ye Tian smiled, this senior sister was simple-minded, and she was so happy to see that he could prove his innocence and not be a bad person.
It's just that the light that scanned Ye Tian's mind just now made Ye Tian a little uncomfortable, he could feel that the light didn't read his memory techniques or anything like that, but the taste of being snooped into his mind was really strange, if it was planted with breath or something else, it would be troublesome.
Ye Tian thought like this, in the future, he must find an opportunity to eliminate whether there is an unknown breath in his mind.
The streets were noisy with pedestrians, hawkers hawking their wares, shops crowded with people, and monks could often be seen on the streets.
The city is also prosperous and peaceful.
Ye Tian couldn't help but think about his original world, after he solved the trouble, could the beings of the Ten Thousand Realms be like this in peacetime.
It didn't take much time to go back to find Gu Yuan and his party, so Lin Lin was familiar with the road, turned left and right in the alley, and arrived at a magnificent wharf after a while.
It is said to be a dock, but in fact it can also be said to be a platform.
Dozens of warships lined up neatly on countless platforms, loaded with platinum cannons, are so imposing.
At the top of the main tower are flags of the same color, and the totem on it Ye Tian can't recognize it, like Lin Lin next to him asked.
"Are these warships all organized in one organization? with this number, it won't be a problem to attack a few life stars, right?"
Seeing that Ye Tian was interested, Lin Lin naturally answered his questions without hesitation.
"These are the warships of the Demon Slaying City, I also introduced to you before, the Demon Slaying City used to be a fortress against the demons, after the war was over, I was still not worried about whether the Demon World would open up this battlefield again, so they were all retained, and occasionally military drills were conducted. ”
Ye Tian looked at the warships with emotion, his original world had not developed to such a standardized system, and those people were still centered on the national clan and fighting each other.
This trip to this world has benefited a lot, and seeing the way of life of these people has given him some ideas.
In the distance, Gu Yuan and his party were waiting at the dock, Lin Lin saw it and rushed over, leaving Ye Tian pacing slowly.
"Brother Gu, the proof is passed, then Ye Tian is not a bad person. ”
Hearing this, Gu Yuan's serious face finally relaxed, in fact, even if he was a little suspicious, after all, Ye Tian's behavior was too cautious.
But now it seems that he is overthinking.
Seeing that Ye Tian arrived in front of him, Gu Yuan stretched out a hand and said to Ye Tian: "I'm sorry Brother Ye, what I said before was a lot offended, please be considerate." ”
Seeing this, Ye Tian also pretended to be kind and pleasant, and shook it.
"Where, my identity is unknown, then you should be wary, and in the end, there is no estrangement. ”
"Please, Brother Ye. The cabin was ready, and we boarded together. Gu Yuan turned around and motioned for Ye Tian to go with him.
The rest of the team followed behind without much of a word.
Gu Yuan took Ye Tian to his cabin and left, saying that he wanted to discuss some things with the people in the team about going to the grand event, Ye Tian saw that he was not invited, and consciously went back to the room.
It doesn't matter if the things they talk about are related to him or not, as long as they don't covet him and want to harm him, let the rest be.
Ye Tianpan sat in the room and tried to operate the aura again.
Not surprisingly, it still failed, this world seemed to reject Ye Tian's aura operation route, and there was a strange energy blocking him in the dark.
It seems that the immortal method of his original world is difficult to use, although his cultivation is still there, and his body is also consciously absorbing the aura, but even if the aura is absorbed to the fullest, the power that does not operate is in vain, and he has no ability to fight.
I have to look at the situation at that time, if there is any chance to receive an exercise and let him use it temporarily.
Ye Tian figured it out like this, and went out to the deck.
At this time, the ship had not yet opened, and the deck was bustling with people carrying goods, most of them monks, but also some with retinues.
At this time, there was a man who looked like a boy in the distance, and he had to carry boxes of luggage, as if he wanted to move the whole family up, and the entourage next to him held an umbrella and carefully served a pot of tea to the son.
Ye Tian just smiled when he saw this, people who cultivate immortals should not be served by these things, but it is inevitable that some cultivators have great careers, and they always have these things.
Those families have pampered their descendants since they were young, and let their subordinates serve them well, and even their cultivation has been arranged step by step, and normal immortal cultivators have long since broken off their future under such an arrangement, and they can only reach certain levels in their lives and cannot go up again.
Ye Tian walked aimlessly, looking around, he walked through the cabin, wanting to go to the stern to have a look, but when he saw that there was someone at the stern, he went to another place.
"Boss, did you say that the people you contacted would come at night, if they didn't come, wouldn't it be bad for our goods to get off the ship. ”
"Don't worry, although the people in the demon world are cunning, they can still see this kind of thing that is beneficial to them clearly, we just need to take advantage of the chaos to move these goods off the ship at night, and we don't have to worry about anything else. ”
A man said to the woman, hearing this conversation, Ye Tian stopped.
He had heard all the way that this world had been at war with the Demon Realm since ancient times, and after such a long battle, the concept of hostility should be handed down by the rulers and imprinted in people's hearts, how could anyone want to trade with the Demon Realm.
Ye Tian hid aside and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
"But boss, there are only a few of us who have those goods, it's not easy to move, if it's discovered, it's not... ”
"Don't think about those bad things, our responsibility is only to send those goods on the ship, and it is not up to us to move them, we just need to count the goods and put them in the place they designated. ”
With that, the woman paused.
"It's not early, it's almost time to sail, let's go back early to rest, and recharge our energy for the evening. ”
Then, Ye Tian saw a man and a woman walk in from the rear cabin and go in the direction of the inner cabin.
Seeing them gone, Ye Tian came out of the shadows and walked to the aft deck.
"Looks like something is going to happen in the evening. "If what these two people say is true, then there may be someone from the Demon Realm attacking the ship at night.
Ye Tian saw that the ship didn't seem to be very strong, so he was suspicious.
Will this ship be able to stop the people of the Demon Realm?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian walked to the inner cabin, wanting to discuss with Gu Yuan.
"Where did this brother come from, it's really a face. ”
It turned out that the woman among the two just now was standing in the passage, looking at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian squinted slightly, this woman may have been wary, and she went back and forth after the conversation, or saw who was passing by in this passage.
It is estimated that it was because he didn't see Ye Tian on the deck of the rear cabin when he was talking, and now he happened to see Ye Tian come in, and he stopped him with some faces.
Ye Tian hugged his fists.
"I came down from the upper deck and just looked around. ”
"Really?" the woman's tone was skeptical.
"Did you see me on deck just now?"
"Didn't see it. ”
"Oh well. The woman gave way for Ye Tian to walk with.
When Ye Tian walked in front of him, he suddenly struck Ye Tian in the abdomen with a fist.
Fortunately, Ye Tian reacted quickly and dodged sideways, and left the woman's surroundings with a few steps under his feet.
Seeing this, the woman didn't give up, and her hands were sealed to cast a spell.
"Brother Ye, I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come to the back cabin?"
At this time, suddenly a voice came from behind Ye Tian.
