Chapter 645: Water Urn City
The Water Urn Country, one of the many small countries bordering the overflowing sand dunes.
However, this so-called "small country" is only relative to the power in the western part of the overflowing sand dunes, if it is placed in the eastern part of the overflowing sand dunes, it is definitely a behemoth, whether it is Lingyun Mountain, or Refining Bone Mountain and Green Ying Country, etc., the overall strength will be worse.
After Deng An left the overflowing sand dunes, he took a detour to the country of the water urn. After that, he became extra careful not to reveal his identity. The Water Urn Country is not very far from Guangwen, although there are only Li Qiong and Li Fengnan masters and apprentices on Guangwen Mountain, but with Li Qiong's cultivation, his influence in the surrounding countries is definitely not small, and he is worried that his whereabouts will be introduced to Guangwen Mountain.
Deng An can not be afraid of Li Fengnan, but Li Qiong's strength is too terrifying, the other party has no movement restrictions, if he really wants to find him trouble, he is afraid that it will be difficult for him to avoid the other party's tracking.
Originally, he planned to leave the overflow dunes from other directions, however, the ghost is not as good as the sky, he accidentally encountered a storm, deviated from the original route for thousands of miles, if he continued to detour from the overflow dunes, it was inevitable that he would encounter some accidents, but waste time in vain.
In addition, he also intended to go to the Water Urn Country to inquire about the situation of Youyuexiang. If there was a chance to get the complete Wind Shadow Escape Technique from Youyue Xiang, he would naturally not mind.
On this day, a huge basin appeared in front of Deng An.
The basin is covered with dense vegetation, but it does not hide a "high mountain" in the very center, although the top of this "high mountain" is the same as Deng An's position.
On top of this high mountain, a huge castle was built. Since the city wall starts at the bottom and gradually closes inward by one-fifth or sixth, from a distance, it looks like a bottle mouth, and combined with the conical "high mountain" on which it sits, it looks like a huge urn for water.
Deng An could immediately determine that this was the capital of the Water Urn Country.
However, to reach Urn City, he still needs to walk through the woods in the basin below.
In order to ensure the safety of the capital. It took thousands of years for the Water Urn Kingdom to set up a wonderful array within this basin to stop the invasion of foreign meditation cultivators.
Due to the fact that several arrays are highly secret, and they are almost perfectly integrated with the topography of the basin, except for the lord of the Water Urn Country. No one knows the location of all the formations, so. Since the Great Array took effect, it has never been attacked by an alien cultivator.
It was with its sheer safety that the city gradually attracted a large number of caravans from the east and west sides of the overflowing dunes. These caravans include both foreign caravans and domestic caravans, and they use this place as a transit base to ensure the circulation of all kinds of materials.
Because of the restrictions of the Great Array, every foreign meditation cultivator could not fly freely in the sky since he arrived in the basin. They had no choice but to walk through the woods and slow down.
This indirectly increases the chance that the caravan will encounter risks.
In order to protect its own interests, the Water Urn Kingdom reassured the foreign caravans, and regarded the basin as a part of the Water Urn City, and strictly forbade meditation to attack each other in it. Although they were able to restrict their meditation cultivation, they did not have a very good way to deal with the beasts in the forest.
The terrain of the basin is low, and it is less affected by demonic energy, so it is very suitable for cultivation.
In the woods of the basin, there are at least millions of underworld beasts. Even if the Water Urn Kingdom exerts all the strength of the whole country and exterminates all the underworld beasts in it, there will still be foreign underworld beasts entering.
Therefore, only when the level and number of Immortal Beasts pose a threat to the Water Urn City, the high-level meditation cultivators in the Water Urn City will carry out a hunt, and if it is in normal times, those low-level patrol meditation cultivators. will also clear the dense area of the underworld, which can be regarded as an experience for them.
For a long time, there has always been a balance between the meditation of Water Urn City and the Underworld Beast. However, the number of Immortal Beasts in the basin is still much higher than in other regions.
Deng An was often attacked by the beasts on his way, and their level was rarely higher than the third order, or they were frightened back, or they were exterminated, but for some small caravans, it was like entering the overflowing sand dunes, and they had to be extremely careful not to fail the mission before dawn.
Not long ago, Deng An saw a small caravan destroyed by a group of underworld beasts.
When the meditation cultivators in the caravan were devoured by the herd of underworld beasts, the materials they carried with them, such as Yin Rong Stones, medicinal herbs, refining materials, etc., were abandoned in the woods.
What puzzled Deng An was that after passing by the meditation cultivator found these abandoned materials, he didn't seem to be interested, and he didn't go forward to pick them up, Deng An thought at first that they were worried about being retaliated by the beast, but later, he saw a few stronger Jiedan meditation cultivators, and they also chose to detour, but from their eyes, he clearly saw a trace of heartbeat.
Later, he finally inquired about the reason.
In the country of the water urn, there is an unwritten rule, or an unspoken rule, the city of the water urn provides security for the passing caravan, not for free, if the passing caravan is destroyed by the beast, the materials they leave behind will belong to the water urn country, and other meditation cultivators are not allowed to interfere.
In this regard, the major caravans have never raised objections.
After Deng An heard this, he couldn't help but look a little strange, and took care of the small caravan that had not yet encountered the attack of the Underworld Beast, but the Immortal Cultivator who told him the news thought that he was unfounded, in addition to the fact that there was no evidence that the Urn Country was guarding and stealing, but also because there were very few caravans that were killed by the Underworld Beast due to accidents every year, it was really lucky that he was able to meet this time.
Two days later, Deng An finally came to the foot of the "high mountain" where the Water Urn City was located.
Viewed from below, the grandeur of the Water Urn City is difficult to express in words. I saw that on the almost vertical cliff, there was a straight city wall, and hundreds of meditation cultivators flew into the city gate from the bottom up, Deng An, like other meditation cultivators, had an inexplicable sense of shock in his heart.
Deng An waited for nearly half an hour before being allowed to enter Water Urn City.
Among the caravans that belong to the local water urn country, the three most powerful are the Mourning Pavilion, Youyue Xiang and Fuming Building, because they have intersected with the three caravans in the overflowing sand dunes, Deng Anxin has a mustard, and he doesn't understand their positions, and he doesn't want to deal with them for the time being until he fully understands them. He deliberately avoided the main street of Water Urn City and went to a relatively remote street.
Soon, Deng An suddenly showed a hint of surprise and looked at a shabby store in front of him.
This is a building made of wood and stone mixture, it does not look the slightest exquisite, the wall is uneven, the window is not right, its front door is very commensurate with its appearance, there is rarely a meditation in and out, it can be said that the courtyard is cold, as if it is about to go out of business, however, the plaque on its lintel, but the momentum is extraordinary, especially the handwriting carved out, strong and powerful, and with a strong ancient charm.
At first glance, Deng An seemed to be plunged into chaos, as if he saw that it was not words, but nothingness, but when he carefully identified them, they were unremarkable.
He couldn't help but be curious, and looked at it several times, but found nothing.
However, for Deng An, he is more concerned about the content on the plaque: "Musical Instrument Pavilion".
Looking at these three words, he couldn't help but hesitate, just based on his appearance, he definitely couldn't judge what kind of connection there was between the "Musical Instrument Pavilion" in front of him and the Musical Instrument Pavilion overflowing to the east of the sand dunes.
If the Musical Instrument Pavilion here is the branch of Li Yunrong's Musical Instrument Pavilion in Water Urn City, then he just happened to go in to inquire about some news, with his identity and the relationship with Xu Yong and Wen Hanting, presumably, the pavilion master of this Musical Instrument Pavilion would be very happy to answer for him.
The only thing you need to worry about is the temperament of the pavilion master. Since the last time he suffered a big loss in Weidongying, there has been a shadow in his heart, and he always has some doubts about the Musical Instrument Pavilion.
"Old liar, are you an idiot when you are so expensive" Suddenly, Deng An's train of thought was interrupted, and immediately, he saw a low-level meditation cultivator rushing out of the "Musical Instrument Pavilion", and as he walked, he kept turning back and scolding, as if he had fallen into a daze.
After seeing the movement here, the passing meditation cultivators seemed to be commonplace, and directly ignored it, and there were also a small number of meditation cultivators, and they threw sympathetic eyes into the low-level meditation cultivators who came out.
"I love to buy or not, and the old man only sells it to the ghosts who are destined. You have no fate, where did you come from, and where are you going" In contrast to it was an old voice coming from the room.
"Hmph, you don't have anything to talk about to the master, the artifact is not for appreciation, it is for killing the enemy, the master only cares about its power, you try your best to get some functions that are not useful, it's not to pit the master" The low-level meditation cultivator still didn't give up, chattering endlessly.
"Boy, there is still no end to it, the old man thinks that it is not easy for you to cultivate, and I don't have the same knowledge as you, but if you continue to entangle, don't blame the old man for being ruthless" The old man's voice was a little impatient.
"Old liar, dare to threaten the master This is Water Urn City, talk about fair trade, and big merchants such as the Mourning Pavilion dare not break the rules, not to mention a broken shop. You wait for the master to report your blackmail to the city guards immediately, and wait for them to demolish your shop, see how arrogant you are" Although the low-level meditation cultivator was not to be outdone, his momentum was a little shorter.
Presumably, his cultivation is not as good as that of the old man, he is only his lips, and he does not dare to be too provocative. And, comforted by a few passing meditations, he found his balance and soon disappeared into the streets.
Deng An was very unfamiliar with the old voice coming from the house, and he didn't have any memory in his impression, so he suppressed the surprise in his heart and walked in.
At this time, there was only one rickety old ghost in the room, leaning on a broken Taishi chair, with his eyes half-closed, it seemed that he was both the shopkeeper and the man.
The old ghost's whole body was shrouded in a thick layer of death, which meant that his yin life was about to come to an end and completely disappear from the world. However, the momentum he occasionally shows seems to be the same as that of ordinary sturdy ghosts, especially when dealing with scolding outside.
The cultivation possessed by the old ghost surprised Deng An somewhat that it was the early stage of the Yudan. No wonder, that low-level meditation cultivator only dared to scold from the outside, and did not dare to take further actions.
Deng An glanced at the old ghost, nodded politely, and looked around. To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
