Chapter 58: Get in touch
(In July, I'm going to revise some of the typos and unreasonable tiny details in the book, as a new one, I slowly feel the importance of the word rigorous and responsibility on the way to writing, thank you for your support, if it causes some small trouble to everyone, I hope you can bear with me, start a new start, and grow step by step! I want to leave the best side to everyone!)
"The north of Chuzhou is really different from other places! It is worthy of being the place where the capital of Chuzhou is located!" Ye Yun looked at the stone city tower dozens of meters high in front of him, and suddenly a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
And the four big words "Chuzhou Chengbei" directly above the city tower don't seem to be very engraved, Ye Yun looked deeply at it a few times, and he had a feeling of fascination, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these words were really vigorous and powerful, and the dragon and phoenix dance words revealed a deep meaning.
"Maybe these handwritings were left by the first city lord of Chuzhou!" Ye Yun glanced at it again, and remembered the rumors about this city.
Legend has it that this city was born very early, and some people even rumored that this city is much older than the Zhao Kingdom, and the whole city used to be a city of abundance, and it had powerful monks, but now I don't know what the reason is, only the north of the city can be preserved a little better!
The huge stone wall is made entirely of huge and many stone blocks, and there is not the slightest gap in the middle, so strong that it has not been able to completely defeat the city when several battles from the north have spread here.
On the city tower, every short distance, there are several guards wearing golden armor uniforms, their chests are up, holding golden spears several meters long, the spiritual power fluctuations around their bodies are very amazing, and their eyes are even more murderous Standing on the city tower about 20 meters high.
On the left and right sides of the city tower, there are dozens of red dragon drums that specialize in killing foreign demon cultivators, and there is even a replica of the famous "Demon Exterminator" two mirrors in the middle place.
From a distance, many pedestrians on the periphery have a chilling feeling, and under the city there is a bottomless, 100-meter-wide moat river and a powerful large array to protect it. In addition, there is only one passage to the city, which undoubtedly highlights the uniqueness of this place.
It may be appropriate to use the four big words "impregnable" to describe this city, with such a strong defense, the north of the city is completely a place to use soldiers.
There was only a suspended suspension bridge at the huge city gate, and two teams of more than twenty golden warriors who were faintly at the peak of the Qi cultivation period stood on the left and right, scanning the pedestrians coming and going with bright eyes.
Most of the monks who came here were accustomed to this, because the land to the north of the city was the domain of the city lord's mansion, and routine inspections to eliminate dissidents were the daily task of these golden warriors.
It's just that since the bloody skull mountain killed a group of monks of the Seventh Company Business Alliance, Duan Hong ordered that the opening time of this city be changed from the original four hours to three hours, and the city protection array has been open for a long time.
Many well-informed monks on weekdays seem to have a little premonition, and many Tiansha Sect monks who came a few days ago have frequently entered the north of the city in the past few days, but the Heavenly Sword Sect, the suzerain main force in the name of this city, is not even motionless, and there is not the slightest disturbance, as if it is allowed to change like this!
The Heavenly Sword Sect's approach was so great that many monks were speculating in their hearts about what had happened to the sect? Isn't the Heavenly Sword Sect, which is also listed as one of the seven major sects of the Zhao Kingdom, afraid of the Heavenly Demon Sect, which has become famous in recent years?
This is not a simple incident, all the large and small sects of the Zhao Kingdom attach great importance to the battle for territory, and the strange actions similar to the Heavenly Sword Sect are unique.
And what's worse is that I don't know where the news came that there were Buddhist monks in Chuzhou.
Whether it is true or not, this is undoubtedly provoking the majesty of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the disputes between the Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism of Zhao Guo have been endless since a hundred years ago, and each family is even more hostile to each other on weekdays, and there is more than one open and secret fight.
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect still didn't move in the slightest, as if all these things had nothing to do with them!
Ye Yun's mind kept recalling yesterday's conversation between the mysterious man and him, although there were surprises but also sorrows, in short, the joys and sorrows were mixed, but he still admired that person's ability in his heart, he was able to find the contact location of the Heavenly Sword Sect, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
Of course, Ye Yun was not without suspicions, but that person took out several things in the sect one after another, which also made Ye Yun believe a little and guess the identity of that person in his heart.
After waiting in line for most of the day, Ye Yun finally walked from the perimeter of the moat to the other side of the suspension bridge. Ye Yun looked at the turbulent and bottomless Huabai River, and felt a chill in his heart.
Immediately after that, the golden warrior who was at the peak of Qi cultivation carefully asked Ye Yun for some information, and then used an unknown yellow small bell-like magic weapon to spy on it, and then Ye Yun paid some spirit stones and entered the city unharmed.
It's just that as soon as Ye Yun entered the city, the suspension bridge had already risen slowly, obviously the time to close the city gate had come, and many monks who had not yet entered the city could only scold, waiting for the city gate to open tomorrow with an unwilling face.
"Sure enough, it is a good place for the City Lord's Mansion and other families to sit!" Ye Yun looked at the dazzling array of shops and the splendid palace in front of him, his eyes were really a little amazed, and he once again had a new understanding of this city in his heart.
"It seems that seeing is believing!" Ye Yun shook his head, and then walked towards the Gou family, a palatial courtyard that the mysterious man pointed to yesterday.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man with clear eyebrows, not tall, very lazy was lying on a bamboo chair under a big willow tree at this time lazily taking advantage of the cold, the hot sun seemed to be exceptionally hot today, although the young man kept fanning the fan in his hand, but his forehead and body were still sweating.
"What the hell is this weather, it's really unlucky, it's really useless to let me guard this courtyard on such a hot day!" The young man's name is Gou Ping, he is an ordinary disciple of the Gou family here, his talent is barely okay, and he has the cultivation of the sixth layer of qi cultivation at a young age, but it is a pity that his life is not very good, as a side descendant of the Gou family, he has not been very valued by the clan.
The rest of the boys at his time were either sent by the clan to various shops to make pawns, or entered more advanced sects to cultivate, but there were not many people who were as down-and-out as he could only be a janitor at the door.
And all this is because his status is very embarrassing, so much so that he often sighs that he is unlucky and has a bad fate.
"Hmph, if I become famous one day, I will definitely make these guys look good!" Maybe the weather was too hot, and Gou Ping tossed and turned several times, and he didn't fall asleep much, which made him very unhappy. At the same time, he also scolded the people who gave him the ropes!
Originally, Gou An was going to a place to see the world and learn some intermediate exercises in the past few days, but just yesterday all this came to naught.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, Gou Ping got a good outing experience task, but the matter also came, and a group of other side disciples who were quite treacherous on weekdays were also red at the moment, and they made up a lot of slanderous words in front of their big steward Gou He.
Because there are too few opportunities for side disciples to get experience, Gou Ping also knows in his heart that these grandsons who are not right with him are very jealous, so they naturally fight on the basis of reason, but the chief steward is also a villain who tends to be inflammatory, mercenary, and openly auctions this good task.
Gou Ping naturally didn't do it, but how could his thin arm twist the butler's thigh! Several ordinary disciples who were not right with Gou Ping on weekdays couldn't help but make a big move in order to compete for this task, and almost emptied their pockets, and that Gou He was naturally full of excitement, letting them fight each other and reap the power of the fisherman himself.
As soon as Gou Ping thought of this, he felt a little angry in his heart and even more unwilling in his eyes, and slowly Gou An was too sleepy and dozed off.
But just when he was sleeping in a daze, he felt that someone suddenly gently patted him on the shoulder, which made Gou Ping, who was already unhappy, angry on the spot, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, seeing that it was an ordinary man he didn't know, he scolded at the time: "I'm blind to your dog's eyes, I didn't see your Uncle Gou Ping sleeping! Hurry up and get out!"
After Gou Ping said this, he continued to lie down on the spot, which made a young man in blue clothes standing beside him slightly stunned.
The young man in Tsing Yi had an ordinary face, and he was dressed very plainly, and his clothes were even more frugal, at this moment he glanced at Gou Ping with some suspicion, his face was completely embarrassed, obviously he didn't expect that this young man would be so unreasonable.
And this person is naturally Ye Yun in disguise, since he learned from the mysterious man that the Gou family here has a relationship with the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ye Yun seems to have found a breakthrough, and he doesn't pay much attention to this person's unreasonable behavior at the moment.
"Dare to ask this little brother, is this Gou Mansion, I have something important to ask to see your master!"
Gou Ping had just fallen asleep, but as soon as he heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and his heart was shocked, and he glanced at Ye Yun carefully, but in a moment, he had already discovered that Ye Yun was a little unfathomable.
At that moment, Gou Ping immediately got up, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said to Ye Yun: "This is Gou Mansion, I don't know what the relationship between this Taoist friend and the head of the family is?"
Ye Yun looked at Gou Ping's speed of changing his face so quickly, and rolled his eyes at the moment.
Gou Ping saw this situation, and hurriedly said with a smile that he had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai. But in his heart, he was thinking that if this person really knew the head of the family, then he would not be able to climb the branches.
Ye Yun didn't bother to bother with this person, and after confirming that this place was Gou's family, he took out an ordinary token from the storage bag without saying a word and asked Gou An to hand it over to the owner of this place.
Gou Ping took the token and looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see a trick, and he didn't dare to report it casually at the moment, but just looked at Ye Yun with a very puzzled look.
"This order is known to people who are destined, if you report it to me, I will be rewarded!" Ye Yun immediately smiled at Gou Ping, and casually threw him dozens of low-grade spirit stones.
Although Gou Ping was puzzled, but looking at these dozens of spirit stones in his eyes, he naturally smiled, and then hurriedly ran in.
Ye Yun waited for a long time and didn't see Gou Ping come out, and he felt a little strange in his heart, because the token he handed to Gou Ping earlier was the token of the outer disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect that he had erased his handwriting.
Just when Ye Yun was a little impatient, Gou Fang walked out, and his face was full of smiles, and he was more enthusiastic than before, and hurriedly urged Ye Yun to enter the mansion.
And all this seemed logical and reasonable, but Ye Yun still frowned, and a look of indifference flashed in his eyes.
"This fellow Daoist, the head of the family is invited!" Gou Ping immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture of "please", and then wanted to hurriedly lead the way for Ye Yun in front.
"What is Gou Daoyou going to do in such a hurry?" Ye Yun glanced at Gou Ping lightly, and then he had already appeared a foot away from Gou An when he turned around.
Gou Ping's eyes shrank suddenly, he took a few steps back, and he didn't know when a black spirit sword appeared in his hand, but before Gou An could react, Ye Yun's fingers were already less than half an inch between his eyebrows, and Gou An suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and even felt that as long as he moved a little at this moment, he might die on the spot!
"Fellow Daoist, stop!"
At this moment, an old man in purple who had a very old face, coughed violently with every step, his hair was completely gray, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked at the old man in purple who was about to die at any time. And there were quite a few other young monks behind this person.
Ye Yun glanced at this person carefully, the blood-colored scimitar in his left hand was already ready, unfathomable was Ye Yun's first evaluation of this old man, this person seemed to be unsurprising, harmless to humans and animals, but Ye Yun was not the fledgling hairy boy at the beginning, he saw every move of this person in his eyes, and knew that this person was by no means as unwavering as he saw.
Although this person was slightly hunched over and coughed constantly, the powerful spiritual power fluctuations in his eyes were indeed very dangerous, plus the unusual purple snake-patterned robe he was wearing, it was already extraordinary, and the silver scepter in this person's hand even Ye Yun, who was far away, felt the strong spiritual power fluctuations. All this made Ye Yun highly vigilant.
However, what Ye Yun didn't know was that while he was looking at the old man, a slight hint of suspicion in the old man's eyes was slowly receding, because the fingering technique that Ye Yun used just now was the unique "Spirit Rhino Finger" of the outer disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"What is the so-called matter of Daoist friends coming to the Gou family? Can you let go of Gou Ping first, the old man Gou Yan is the head of the Gou family!" The old man who claimed to be Gou Yan smiled faintly from the corner of his eyes, and then threw out the outer disciple token of the Heavenly Sword Sect towards Ye Yun.
Ye Yun waved the scimitar with one hand, and the token was already attached to the scimitar. Then Ye Yun moved his finger slightly, after all, in his eyes, Gou Ping was not a danger.
Gou Yan saw Ye Yun put down Gou Ping, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"Elder Yan is polite, boy Cheng Shan, since Your Excellency doesn't know this order, then take a look at this jade pendant!" Ye Yun didn't care much when he saw this person throwing back his sect disciple token, and he didn't answer this person's words directly, it was just a temptation for him.
Gou Yan plucked the jade pendant at the corner of his eyes, then waved his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then coughed violently, and was speechless for a long time.
Ye Yun was not in a hurry, and even a little happy, because this person did not refuse this thing, nor did he show his attitude, which was the usual means of contact within the sect.
"Where does Xiaoyou come from, where do you want to go, and why do you want to come here?" asked Gou Yan lightly.
The strange look in Gou Ping's eyes flashed, and when he handed Gou Yan the token, he was happy and then worried, looking hesitant, how could he see this jade pendant now, and it was like a different person.
Ye Yun directly avoided answering this person's first two questions, and instead said, "I came by order!"
When the old man heard this, he immediately waved his hand, motioned for the rest of the disciples to retreat, and then asked Ye Yun a few secret words again.
Ye Yun naturally answered them one by one, and then Ye Yun took out a few tokens one after another, and the two of them could be regarded as having the real meaning of contact.
