Chapter 123: Zhong Ancient City
It took a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and Rao is with the help of the top-grade elixir and true yuan mana, and it took nearly twenty days for the injuries of the two to recover six or seven percent. Although the flesh and blood have grown, the scar is a little scary, but fortunately, it doesn't matter if you have clothes to cover it so that you won't be seen. However, Lu Lingyan's face left a trace nearly two inches long, which made the originally good-looking face have an undeserved sense of disobedience.
Lu Lingzhao began to become silent, except for eating and sleeping, he sat and read a few books in the storage space all day long. Lu Lingyan was worried about his brother at first, but as time went by, he gradually got used to it. It's normal for some major changes to occur and to have a change in personality.
After about 20 days, He Yi saw that there was no obstacle to their basic movements, so he proposed to set off. He flew in the air, and the brother and sister followed him with the same sword. Although the speed is slower, I can walk more than 10,000 miles in seven or eight hours a day. Lu Lingzhao is an immortal cultivator who has cultivated to the Jindan stage, and his spirit is much better than that of ordinary people, and it is completely enough to sleep for two to three hours a day.
Stop-and-go like this, the days fly by, and in a blink of an eye, it's a year.
In a year's time, the mountains and rivers flew by at the feet. The vast reeds of the wetland are swinging, and the leaves are heavy when the wind blows. There are many fierce beasts in the primeval jungle, and even giant pythons that are forty or fifty feet long, but have not yet become sperm. The uninhabited area, like the primeval world, flies through the sky, just like an immersive viewer.
On the second early spring morning after He Yi left Lingxu, they finally broke away from the primeval jungle that was 2.8 million miles wide and entered a plain full of spring.
At this time, the weather was excellent, flying at an altitude of two thousand five hundred zhang, He Yi was extremely eyesighted, and he could barely see a small thing in the middle of the plain in the distance. Of course, it wasn't really a small thing, but the ancient city of Zhonggu that had existed for millions of years.
It's one thing to see Zhonggu City, and it's another thing to walk in front of Zhonggu City. When they hurried away, turning the legendary city from the size of a grain of sand in their eyes to the size of an egg, and then from the size of an egg to occupying most of their field of vision, and finally flying to the bottom of the city, looking at the boundless city walls, it was already almost dark.
The walls are thousands of feet high, and the walls are integrated, rough and smooth. Guarded by the supreme mana of the Thousand-Faced Saint King, even after a million years, the wind and rain and years have not been able to wear it away. Zhongcheng City does not have a city gate, and there are four entrances on one side of the city wall, and each entrance is eight 300 zhang high gate holes that are opened side by side. The city was also unguarded, as it was simply unnecessary. No one will make trouble in Zhonggu City, there are strong people here, ordinary people don't dare to make trouble, and those who really dare to make trouble are all monstrous cultivators, even if they call the gods and immortals to guard, it's useless.
Looking up at the thousand-foot-high city wall, He Yi and the three of them couldn't help but feel small. With such a high wall, when it rains, even rain clouds are at the foot of the city wall. Looking into the doorway, there are all kinds of people and demons, as well as different styles of buildings and landscapes. In short, Zhonggu City is not like a city, but a small world.
Entering the gate, there is a towering statue due east, near the center of the city. At this time, although it is almost dusk, the weather is very good, there is no cloud and no fog, and the statue of the thousand-faced holy king as high as 33,333 zhang is in front of you more than a thousand miles away. The Holy King has eight arms, and the eight hands hold on the left and right: bottles, baskets, beads, bags, knives, swords, axes, and hooks. The head of the statue has eight faces, each with hundreds of faces, and no matter which direction it looks at, it can meet the hundreds of eyes of the Holy King. This scene is terrifying when viewed at a glance, but when you look at it again, you feel sacred and sublime, which makes people awe-inspired.
Legend has it that the Holy King sees all directions with a thousand faces, eight hands, the left hand to save the suffering, and the right hand to kill the evil, is the supreme sage king between heaven and earth.
"This is Zhonggu City, it's really big!" Lu Lingyan opened his mouth slightly, shocked by the scenes of this huge world. Not only her, He Yi and Lu Lingzhao also had the same expression. Rao is He Yi had stayed in Lingxu, and had seen the Lingxu Heavenly Realm, the Dream Immortal River, the sea of thousands of mountains and clouds, and the Hongqiao that was thousands of miles long, and he couldn't help but be shocked by the scene here.
In terms of land area, Lingxu is larger than Zhonggu City, but it is an ethereal immortal resort, not a mysterious city like Zhonggu City.
The avenue is as wide as a thousand zhang, and there are many people and demons walking back and forth on the endless avenue, although there are many walkers, but this avenue still seems very empty. Sometimes, people fly through the sky. Those who dare to fly have one thing in common - they are above the Yuan Infant Stage. The ban on flying under Yuanying Dongxuan is an unwritten rule, and it is enough to open a mountain and establish a sect in the outside world, and become a master of the head of a small sect, and he is only barely qualified to fly in Zhonggu City. In this small world, among tens of millions of people and demons, there are at least tens of thousands of infant-level existences. There are so many strong people, and only Jiuding Imperial City and Hongyan City can be compared to the whole world.
The three of them walked on the avenue for half an hour, and the scenery around them slowly changed, and the buildings they saw were also different. Some are extremely tall and luxurious, while others are small and delicate. What is even more embarrassing is that they have seen people jump out of the windows of houses hundreds of feet high, fly away or land on more than one occasion. According to passers-by, it was because climbing the stairs was too time-consuming, and the time of the high-ranking people above the Yuan Infant was precious, so they took a shortcut directly.
It was getting dark, and they had nowhere to stay. Zhonggu City is so big, it is not easy to find Meng Changkong and the Golden Eagle Great Demon, and Lu Lingzhao has lost his cultivation, so he needs to rest at night.
Coincidentally, after walking for half an hour, they happened to pass in front of an inn. The inn covers an area of nearly 100 zhang, which is much larger than a gymnasium on earth. The floors are not high, only five floors. On the gilded giant plaque of the inn, the four big characters of "Ignorance Inn" are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, lining the elegant and atmospheric style of the building itself, which looks very magnificent.
As soon as the three of them stopped, a young man wearing a hood and holding a jade plaque greeted him with a smile.
"The mountains and seas are endless, and the wind sends guests. The three guest officers are in the dust, I think they came from afar, why don't they go inside and rest and drink a cup of hot tea?" Although the boy has a hippie smiling face, he speaks a serious polite word.
This person is the shopkeeper of this ignorant inn?
All three were surprised. This person has no aura to hide, and he can feel that his cultivation should also have a golden pill stage, not much worse than Lu Lingyan.
A Jindan monk, but just a shopkeeper, the brother and sister are ashamed of themselves, and at the same time, they can't help but secretly sigh that this ancient city is too luxurious!
Although he was surprised in his heart, He Yi didn't show it, just nodded, and followed the young man to the door of the inn. The young man introduced as he walked: "The three guest officers are probably the first time to come to Zhonggu City, right? If you want to say this Zhonggu City, I am familiar with it! Oh yes, in Xia Yu Feiyang, it is the little two and the little ones of this ignorant inn to inquire, and the people and things in this Zhonggu City are all a little bit known in Xia. If there is anyone you are looking for, where you are going, or if there is something you need to trade in exchange, you can ask the next question. That's the price...... With the temperament and demeanor of the three, it is no problem. ”
"Bag inquiry?" He Yi was overjoyed. I used to only hear that the second child of the teahouse tavern knew a lot, but I didn't expect that there was even an inn here like this. In this way, there can be a doorway, and it also saves them from wasting time blindly searching for tens of millions of people in the ancient city. They didn't know that this Ignorance Inn was originally the largest intelligence organization in Zhonggu City.
"That's right!" When Yu Feiyang saw his reaction, he said happily: "Guest officer, what are you looking for? people, things, things, or places? As long as there are them in this ancient city, under all the vientiane, I will definitely be able to find the inn of ignorance!"
During the conversation, the three of them had followed him into the door. The inside of this inn is quite large, and dozens of tables are scattered around, which looks messy, but it is actually refreshing. Led them to sit down at a table, Yu Feiyang lifted the teapot, held it in the palm of his hand and heated it with fire alchemy, poured them a cup, and then waited for He Yi to ask.
He Yi didn't ask directly, because as soon as he came in, he saw that there were many guests in this inn, and there were also many immortal cultivators like the young man in front of him who acted as shopkeepers, selling news.
As soon as he listened, he heard an old man get the answer, and was led to the shopkeeper to get the key, and went to the stairs. This scene made him naturally think that this ignorant inn was probably a monopoly on news, with a free accommodation.
"How much does it cost to ask a person?" He asked directly.
Yu Feiyang grinned when he heard this, blinked and said, "Looking for someone, it depends on cultivation and identity." If it is an ordinary monk in the Jindan period, it is enough to find one that only costs five taels of jade essence. If so......"
"Wait!" Before he finished speaking, Lu Lingyan couldn't help but interrupt him and asked, "What did you just say?"
Jade essence is the essence of spiritual jade. The Immortal Cultivation Sect often uses spiritual jade to lay the palace, because the spiritual jade itself is the essence of the earth's veins and contains spiritual energy, and if it is used to pave the ground, it can make the spiritual energy of that place stronger. And the jade essence is powerful, the spirit jade can only slowly escape the aura, and it can be directly absorbed and absorbed, and it can be used to temporarily replenish mana. Jade essence is a consumable, with one piece less than one piece, usually one or two heavy jade essence is only the size of a tail finger, and the price, is ten times that of gold. Of course, the jade essence is not the most precious, the most precious is the jade that He Yi once had. When the aura is used up, the jade will absorb and replenish itself, and the same size of the jade can be exchanged for 100 pieces of jade essence. So back then, He Yi only had a piece of jade the size of a fingernail, and he exchanged it for ice crystal chalcedony and a frost sword.
"Uh, yes. Although it may seem a bit expensive, we can not only help the guests check the news, but also take the guests directly to find them, so ......"
The boy's face was a little unnatural. Seeing their reaction like this, I immediately felt that this business was about to blow.
"Five taels of jade essence to find someone! this ......" Lu Lingyan exhaled, and immediately realized his gaffe, and quickly covered his mouth.
In this public, it is very shameful to not be able to pay the honorarium, and there is a He Yi sitting next to him, even if he is embarrassed, if he loses his face, it will be too embarrassing.
Even after getting along for a year, she still maintains a sense of awe for He Yi and doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.
"There are tens of millions of people in this ancient city, and tens of thousands of people come and go every day, so it's hard to find someone. Especially for those floating populations, sometimes even if we specialize in this industry, we may not be able to find it, and in the end, we have to pay ten times the honorarium to the guests. Yu Feiyang smacked his lips, emphasizing the weight of his goods.
"We don't have jade essence, but we do have magic weapons, I don't know if we can change it?" Lu Lingzhao, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"Absolutely. Jade essence is scarce, this is just a positioning of the shop. The magic weapon pill secret formation diagram can be changed. Hearing that there was still an opportunity to make money, he didn't look at it and laughed.
"Xiaoyan, give him my flying sword. Lu Lingzhao said, and waited for his sister to take out his top-grade magic weapon flying sword before he said to Feiyang: "We are looking for a person named Meng Changkong, who likes to drink and is about the same size as me, who came to Zhonggu City fifteen years ago." ”
"Meng Changkong ......" Yu Feiyang muttered, picked up the jade plate in his hand, and closed his eyes to check it. After a moment, he opened his eyes, squinted and smiled, "There is this person." He came from the northwest of the continent, a place called the Cangxue Sword Sect. Yes and no?"
"Yes!" The brother and sister couldn't help but get excited.
Traveling to Zhonggu City, which was millions of miles away, he experienced several crises and twists and turns, and even made Lu Lingzhao lose his cultivation. What they did was to find this Uncle Meng who only had a few faces!
"Oh, I'm sorry. This Meng Changkong's news is precious, your flying sword can only be worth a hundred taels of jade essence at most, and another nine hundred taels are enough. ”
