A month later, in a certain area where the five fingers could not be seen, a ghostly wind swept away, and standing on it was Ning Shi, who was tired because of the long hours he had been walking day after day.

Such a long period of luck to urge Shenzhou is really a rare experience for Ning Shi.

Because he didn't want to waste the time he was in a hurry, Ning Shi was flying with the imperial weapon while relying on his powerful divine sense to try to study the changes of the two qi of Yin and Yang in the Heavenly Decision, after all, it was the three kinds of cultivation of Dao Demon Martial Arts that had just entered the third realm, whether it was the martial general's qi and blood, the fusion and arrangement of the thoughts of the realm of divine consciousness, or the Heavenly Demon Sutra refining body qi induction, there were still many things he didn't understand.

Studying the exercises while hurrying is impossible for others, but it is easy for Ning Shi, not because Ning Shi's thoughts are strong, but because there are Nanyin scholars to help control the direction of the Youfeng Shenzhou, Ning Shi only needs to continuously convey spiritual power into the formation on the Shenzhou, and that's it.

The time to comprehend the exercises always flies, and this mysterious feeling makes Ning Shi almost feel the passage of time along the way, but Ning Shi is not very satisfied with the results of his cultivation.

After a month of cultivation, his progress was minimal, no wonder he hadn't heard of the appearance of the three cultivators of the Demon Martial Arts since ancient times.

However, today's Ning Shike did not continue to cultivate, but honestly sat in the Shenzhou and personally drove the Shenzhou to fly along the official road.

After all, it is near the Nine Hidden City, on the main road, it is no longer pitch black, the fluorescent plants planted on both sides of the official road are towering like walls, and the colorful soft fluorescence will decorate the road beautifully.

The number of people on the official road gradually increased, some carrying bags, some riding multi-legged horses, and some stepping on flying swords......

It should have been near Zuning County, where the Nine Shadows City is located, so I was a little excited.

After flying forward for a while, Ning Shi's expression moved slightly.

Because of the blur ahead, there seems to be a huge black dot.

Ning Shi urged the Wind Divine Boat without thinking, and the speed increased in vain, and it flew away at a gallop.

As the speed increased, the black dot in the distance slowly grew larger from far to near, and gradually showed a very large black shadow.

Although it was not yet clear, the huge outline like Optimus Prime had already made Ning Shi feel a majestic and amazing momentum.

When Ning Shi flew closer in surprise, he finally saw the black shadow clearly.

It is indeed a city, and it is a dark curtain that almost pierces the sky like Optimus Prime.

This overwhelming momentum is like a city that cuts off the entire night, which is the Nine Hidden Cities!

Just when Ning Shi was about to move further, the station entrance on the official road blocked Ning Shi's way.

It's a formation, and everyone who passes through that formation must stop and dismount.

Ning Shi didn't want to attract the attention of others, so he naturally quickly put away the Youfeng Shenzhou and walked forward.

If it was just magnificent, Ning Shi would not be so surprised, he who had seen the Immortal Xiongchuan, his surprise and immunity to the building were extremely strong.

But the city in front of him still brought a great shock to Ning Shi.

"Fellow Daoist, this fellow Daoist, please stay?" Ning Shizheng was shocked by the majestic scene in front of him, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and couldn't help but turn back in confusion.

He was going to familiarize himself with the terrain of the Nine Shadows City before thinking about other things.

But I never thought that before I entered the city, someone came to talk to me.

Ning Shi was secretly vigilant, and thought in his heart: "Could it be that I have been exposed?" or Deng Yu's people......

Without waiting for Ning Shi's surprised inquiry, this person took the first step to explain:

"This fellow Daoist seems to be coming to the Nine Secluded City for the first time, right? Qingyangzi, the name of the Poor Dao Law, is extremely familiar with this Nine Secluded City, whether the Daoist friend is here to do errands, play or cultivate, the Poor Dao can introduce you to one or two. The white-haired old man in a navy blue horse coat and robe looked a little excited when he spoke to Ning Shi.

This bit is very simple. Although the young man in front of him didn't look good, but the flying boat he was riding was a high-grade product with five hundred spirit stones upward, and more importantly, although this kind of flying boat was fast, it could consume spirit stones extremely much, of course he couldn't imagine that Ning Shi was a Dao Demon Martial Three Cultivators, and his mana was extremely strong, so he didn't need to be urged by spirit stones at all.

Qingyangzi thought about it while playing his own wishful thinking. He Qingyangzi prides himself on being well-informed, and he has turned Ning Shi into a rich family who has not been deeply involved in the world.

Ning Shi naturally didn't know what this person really thought, but he felt that he was indeed a little unfamiliar with the entire Nine Ghost City, and he really needed a guide.

Ning Shi thought like this, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and said directly to Qingyangzi:

"Price ......"

"Five lower-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as Ning Shi heard Qingyangzi's words, he immediately knew that the old Taoist with low spiritual power in front of him had wronged him, and he asked for a price all over the sky, and said without hesitation: "A low-grade spirit stone, otherwise forget it." ”

"Cheng! I don't know where Daoist wants to go. The old man was overjoyed.

"It's indeed the first time I've come to the Nine Ghost City, and I'm thinking of walking around, so you can accompany me!"

"Okay, Daoyou!" Qingyangzi saw that his first errand was coming, and immediately responded energetically.

In this way, Ning Shi walked towards the gate of the Nine Hidden City under the guidance of Qingyangzi.

"This god statue was when the Nine Shadows City was established......"

Qingyangzi, the guide, did a very competent job, not only told Ning Shi the names of the surrounding buildings, but also pointed out some of the allusions and legends one by one, so that Ning Shi had a vague outline of the entire history of the Nine Shadows.

Straight to the sky, like the pillar of the underworld, the wall of the Nine Shadows is crawling with countless treasured spirit grasses, and the spiritual energy spit out by these spirit grasses almost forms a cloud, covering the entire city.

In front of the city, two huge statues of gods hold a broken sword in their left hand behind their backs, and hold a sword finger in their right hand to point to the place where the sun and moon rise.

Of course, there is no moonlight underground, and the two statues of the gods are carved from moon stone!

At the foot of the statue, there is a stacked stone house built against the stone statue, in front of the house is a row of honey trees that are special products of the Nine Netherworlds, exuding the smell of orange honey, some small insects that emit a light blue cold light like a small lantern fly around the honey tree, the breeze in the distance blows gently, and the fireflies on the branches that are as dense as stars will fly up in pairs, like a flowing sea of stars, which is very beautiful!

Qingyangzi saw Ning Shi stunned and looked at the little insects flying in the sky, knowing that he was attracted by this beautiful sight, he couldn't help but smile and said, "You like them?"

Ning Shi nodded.

"It's a kind of spirit insect that survives by eating the sap of the honey caramel, you must not underestimate them because they are beautiful, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are!" Qingyangzi smiled.

"Oh?"

Qingyangzi, who stroked his beard, smiled and continued: "This tree was collected by my Nine Shadows City Lord from all over the forest, and the spirit insects on it are specially cultivated, and the purpose is to prevent some fierce beasts and demon birds from being attracted by the aura of the Nine Shadows City to attack the city. ”

"Within a radius of 100 miles, there are still demon beasts attacking the city?" Ning Shi asked.

A few months ago, a group of poisonous demon rats came to attack the city, and they were wrapped in these spirit insects like bright lanterns, and after those spirit insects flew away, they found that those demon rats had all turned into stone sculptures!" Qingyangzi said with a smile.

Ning Shi smiled slightly, didn't say anything, and didn't blink.

Qingyangzi didn't seem to be surprised, shook his head with his hands behind his back and said, "I knew you didn't believe it, and when I saw you, I would believe it." ”

A spirit insect lightly circled in front of Ning Shi's eyes a few times and landed on Dasha's shoulder, and Ning Shi had a chance to take a closer look at it, a round ladybug the size of a quail egg, with a few sparse milky white spots on the reflective sky-blue carapace. The tail with a faint blue glow on its buttocks is raised high, attracting the attention of its kind, and upon closer inspection, it is revealed that it also has a needle-like tail spine on its tail.

Qingyangzi pouted at the bottom of the tree, signaling Ning Shi to look over there, and Ning Shi found that as Qingyangzi said, there were a lot of corpses of different shapes and colors like statues under the tree that still exuded a shining light, but the paraffin-like appearance was covered with tiny holes, like coarse pores, Ning Shi combined with the tail spines on the small worm, and suddenly had goosebumps on his body.

When they came to the city gate, everyone was to receive a small sachet to hang on their bodies, and in the sachet was a large long, fleshy worm, which obviously had wings, but it was probably pinched off for some need.

Ning Shi observed carefully, and sure enough, he found that after bringing this thing, those spirit insects who were about to come forward actually fled in all directions as if they had seen a plague god.

Ning Shi also knew that the insect hanging on his neck should be a talisman to ensure everyone's safe passage, and Qingyangzi also hung one for Ning Shi, and then walked into this fluorescent forest.

Walking through this forest, Ning Shi did not immediately see the stacked and interlaced stone houses, but saw rows of neat rows of arhat bamboos, and under these pot-bellied and leafy arhat bamboos, there were blooming manzhu sawa blooms!

There are many colors of Manzhu Sawah, the red flowers planted under the Luohan bamboo are called the flowers of the other side, the flowers are strange and stretching into pieces, as long as the shade of the Luohan bamboo is in full bloom, this kind of flower that is said to only bloom in the underworld, representing the strange and ominous afterlife.

After passing through these two forests, Ning Shi really saw the gate of the Nine Hidden Cities, and passed through two such beautiful barriers.

These are two majestic obsidian pillars inlaid with sixteen intricately patterned Akashi crystals.

The faint wisteria orchid pattern shows a different kind of grace and luxury under the background of the dark night!

A few sparse roses wind up around the stone pillar, blooming a few star-falling flowers, just right to cover the dead air of the stone pillar and the mottled traces left by the vicissitudes of time on it, which looks vivid and playful.

On the gate tower of the majestic city wall, a door plaque of golden silk nanmu, on the plaque, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are written with the three big characters of 'Nine Secluded City'!

There is no doubt that this must be the "Nine Ghost City", one of the eighth main cities of the Nine Netherworlds.

Under the leadership of Qingyangzi, Ning Shi walked unhurriedly towards the reporting office of the city guards at the gate.

"Both of them are staying temporarily. Do you want to live in this city for a long time?"

Ning Shi asked quietly, "It's my first time coming to the Nine Shadows City, may I ask, what's the difference?"

"If you are a temporary resident, you only need to pay one spirit stone, and you will be able to stay here for seven days, and if you are applying for permanent residence, you need to pay five hundred spirit stones. The monk in charge of signing up in front of the castle tower said.

When Ning Shi heard this kind of price, he couldn't help but secretly say to himself, the price of this Nine Hidden City is so expensive, Ning Shi couldn't help but look at Qingyangzi next to him, Qingyangzi whispered: "The original residents of Nine Hidden City don't need to pay the entrance fee. Five hundred spirit stones are enough to live for three thousand five hundred days, that is, ten years. If the prince doesn't need to live for that long, he can pay some spirit stones to buy a short-term entry into the city. ”

Ning Shi nodded, took out a small bag of spirit stones and handed it over.

The monk in charge of registration swept his senses, immediately counted the number of spirit stones in them, and said quickly: "A total of thirty spirit stones, are all stored in the spirit ring?"

Qingyangzi knew that Ning Shi didn't understand what he meant, so he explained: "Anyone who is sure to enter the city will be issued a spirit ring to prove their identity, and the spirit ring can be stored, and what is stored in it is silver light and golden light. Only the golden spirit ring can live permanently, and the silver light spirit ring will gradually disappear with the passage of time, so before the spirit light is extinguished, the owner of the spirit ring must leave the Nine Ghost City, or go to the city gate to store the spirit ring. ”

After listening to Qingyangzi's words, Ning nodded with relief and said to the white-clothed monk, "Save it all." ”

The white-clothed monk nodded, handed Ning Shi a silver light ring, and said, "If you infiltrate your thoughts into the ring, you can recognize the Lord." This kind of ring is only allowed to be used by oneself, and cannot be transferred or loaned, and the stored spirit stones are not returned or exchanged. ”

Ning Shi nodded, and after putting on the spirit ring, he followed Qingyangzi into the city gate with a smile.

The street behind the city gate is not too small or too wide, and it is basically more than enough for four people to walk side by side or two beast carts.

And the rows of bluestone houses on the side of the street look like mortal shops, and the things bought and sold are mostly mortal goods, and there is nothing to see.

After casually strolling around a few places, Ning Shi, who was not interesting, said directly to Qingyangzi: "Tell me first, where can I find a place for monks to cultivate without being disturbed." ”
