Chapter 964: The Ancient City Is Weird
The two of them rode on the same sword, and walked against the wind, whistling, and a hundred miles were just fleeting.
And the ancient city that Hongying said in his mouth appeared in the eyes of the two.
The tall and thick earthen walls have created a high city wall, and there are even Yin soldiers guarding them with spears, so it seems that the realm is not weak.
Just about ten feet outside the city gate, Ye Tian went down with his sword, and walked into the city with the red warbler, after all, no matter where he was, it was better to keep a low profile.
At the gate of the city, there was an endless stream of people, with strange appearances, including ghosts and local ghost cultivators, but the characteristic was that everyone was wearing black robes.
"What strange custom are they?"
Ye Tian turned his head and asked.
"It seems that something big has happened recently, and everyone who enters the city has to wear black robes to show their identity. β
Red Oriole said.
"Then if we don't wear black robes, will it have any effect?"
"Probably not, after all, I haven't heard that it is necessary, let's go first and have a look, if someone stops, then we will find another one and it will be inconvenient. β
Ye Tian nodded and accepted her proposal.
So the two of them crowded into this crowd and walked towards the ancient city, and those who had never been wearing black robes would look dazzling in the crowd.
But now that they were squeezed in the middle, no one noticed the difference between the two, but they went in smoothly.
"The guards above the gates seem to be stronger than I had seen before. β
Red Oriole said suddenly.
"Does it have something to do with the big thing you said earlier?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Who knows? After all, I've been trapped in the woods for a long time. β
As the red warbler spoke, she felt a little aggrieved.
Ye Tian nodded.
The two of them soon squeezed into the city with the crowd, although the entrance of Chen was extremely crowded, but after entering the city, they found that the space was very wide, and on both sides of the road were all kinds of stalls, and on those stalls, there were all kinds of strange items.
"Right? As I said before, this is a huge trading place, and there might be something you're interested in. β
The red warbler smiled, and seemed to be very proud of the information she had provided.
But Ye Tianshu nodded and didn't give more praise.
And as the two of them continued to go deeper, they found some abnormal places, such as some people walking on the side of the road, if they looked at the two of them, they couldn't help but stay for a moment, looking weird and walking away.
There were even some vendor owners whispering to each other and pointing fingers at Ye Tian and the others.
"Why are they like this, did they find out who we are?"
Hongying was a little scared, it was because the bracelet was broken and leaked breath, so she was treated as a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat her.
"It's impossible to leak your breath, after all, my spell still has a certain effect, and even if you have to leak your breath, it's impossible for mine to leak it. β
Ye Tian had a word.
After all, after the precipitation of cultivating the blue spell during that period of time, he had received the qi of heaven and earth that belonged to this world, so he would naturally be contaminated with some lingering breath, and now even the flesh and blood of the immortal yuan are like this.
The red warbler sighed helplessly and said.
"Could it be because we don't wear black robes like them?"
Ye Tian said lightly.
"Maybe so, but we're in now, and they haven't done anything other than a little bit of a look, so it shouldn't be a big problem......"
Although the words were so familiar, Ye Tian still kept an extra eye on the people around him.
The red warbler just silently moved closer.
The two of them walked down the road as if they were walking, and everyone around them looked hurried, as if they were busy with something.
Only the faces of the surrounding stall owners were hidden under the black robes, and they couldn't see it really, but the items in front of them were unnoticed.
Ye Tian was strolling around casually, and suddenly stopped in front of a stall.
The red warbler stopped in its tracks.
"How do you sell this thing?"
Ye Tian asked, picking up an item like a round stone bead and weighing it.
The black robe slowly raised his head, and Ye Tian saw his true face clearly.
It can be regarded as a delicate human face, it looks like a young man, and it seems to be a little surprised to see Ye Tian stop and ask, but he quickly returned to normal.
"I don't support soul crystals, I can only barter. β
The man said, his expression as indifferent as his tone.
"And what do you want?"
Ye Tian asked.
"What do you think he's worth?"
The young man asked rhetorically.
Although Ye Tian was a little surprised that the other party asked like this, he unusually cooperated and took out a magic weapon from the storage space of the disciple surnamed Lu.
"What do you think about trading this for this?"
Ye Tian asked.
"It's a bit reluctant, but it's okay. β
The young man took the magic weapon and put it in the storage bag to indicate that the other party's beads were already his own.
"I still have some questions, I wonder if you can help me solve them?"
Ye Tian said suddenly.
The young man glanced at him, glanced around, and found that the people around him in a hurry did not notice him, and then put his eyes back on Ye Tian.
"What do you want to ask?"
The young man whispered, his head lowered, and his face was hidden in the black hood again.
"I wonder why everyone who enters the city wears black robes, and what is that big thing that is about to happen?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Wearing a black robe is to take a stand, and big things are life and death. β
The young man said, leaning forward and retracting.
Ye Tian nodded and got up.
He knew the other party wouldn't say anything more.
"What, it's better not to say what that person said, it's confusing, and he can't say it clearly. β
The Red Warbler complained.
"That person has said enough to find that everyone else doesn't speak? Although I don't know the specific reason behind it, but I can't go wrong anywhere to avoid saying less and doing more to avoid getting angry. β
Ye Tian said.
"But...... But he didn't say anything useful, what is the big thing is life and death, what stands on the ground, what can be heard......"
Hongying said, still a little unconvinced, more naΓ―ve than when Ye Tian first saw her before, but more like a little woman.
"It's really useless to bring one of the messages out, but it's useful to combine two messages. β
Ye Tian said.
"I wore a black robe to stand up, why did I stand up? And what is that big thing? It's a matter of life and death. People are afraid of death, so people put on black robes and stand up for survival, and conversely, if they don't wear black robes, they may die. So those people look at us very strangely, after all, breaking forward at this time is no different from killing themselves in their eyes. β
After listening to Ye Tian's analysis, Hongying's face turned a little pale.
The wandering between life and death during that period of time really made her a little scared and sensitive.
"Don't worry, even if there is something big, we may not be able to touch it, we just rest here and find out where I'm going, it won't be too long. β
Ye Tian couldn't help but comfort her when he saw her like this.
"If I'm in danger, will you protect me?"
Red Oriole asked.
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and said sincerely.
"I'm just in charge of taking you to the person you want to meet, but...... Considering that there is still half a scroll left in your hands, I will do my best. β
The red warbler was not disappointed when she heard this answer, but was a little happy.
This is happier than hearing someone patting his chest directly and swearing to himself that he will definitely protect himself.
After all, the two of them are not enough to know each other for so long, and Ye Tian in the bedroom can swear that she will be able to protect her, and she must not believe it.
But Fang Cai Ye Tian's answer was much more reliable after weighing the answer.
At least...... You don't have to live on your own, at least have a companion.
"Oh, by the way, did you really like the thing you just picked?"
Red Oriole asked.
"I don't seem to see anything special. β
"I didn't find anything special, it was just to talk to that person, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered us if we walked up directly. β
Ye Tian said.
The red warbler nodded and muttered.
"Then you're quite generous. β
"What?"
Ye Tian looked sideways.
"You just told me about those magic weapons, I seem to see that only those great monks have them here, it seems to be similar to the realm of our Mahayana period, and you just handed it over directly for a stone bead that you don't know the name of, it's not generous. β
The red warbler said, and looked at the storage bag on Ye Tian's waist with some curiosity.
But the latter's face at the moment is not very good-looking, that magic weapon is just taken out of the storage bag of the disciple surnamed Lu at random, how did he know that it will be a strong magic weapon in the Mahayana realm, although it has no effect on himself, but if he exchanges it, I am afraid that he will exchange a lot of other good things.
"Eh, why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Hongying looked at Ye Tian and asked, and the other party suddenly fell silent.
"Walk and walk, there are many people here, it is better to communicate less, and the wealth is not exposed. β
Ye Tiandao found a decent excuse to cover up his distress.
Hongying was a little puzzled, but she still nodded to show that she understood, and really kept her mouth shut.
This city is vast, there is no traffic, there are restaurants and teahouses in various places, and the stalls on the street that Fang Cai passed through are only part of the characteristics, and the rest of the buildings make Ye Tian a little stunned.
Is this the human world or the ghost world?
"Hey, two brothers downstairs, I see you're all walking around with a bunch of walking dead, aren't you bored?
The sudden sound made Ye Tian and the others stop, looking for the sound, it was from the second floor of a restaurant on the side of the road.
The position by the window, revealing a white face, the appearance of a scholar.
