Chapter 3: Xuanzhuang's Secret Investigation
Standing at the gate of the city, looking up at the magnificent city wall, Ye Fei's face was stunned.
Ye Fei is a native of the northwest, and when he first went to Donghai City to go to university, he once transferred a train in Chang'an, and the train traveled a short distance along the ancient city wall of Chang'an, not to mention the Chang'an Railway Station, which was purely built at the foot of the city wall. Therefore, he had the privilege of seeing the most magnificent city wall in ancient China, and he once sighed and admired the tall city wall. But now, seeing the city wall of this different world, he feels that the ancient city wall of Chang'an is at most a small earth city, and there is no comparison at all.
This city wall, with a height of forty or fifty meters, is made of huge bluestones stacked on top of each other. Not only that, but there were also pieces of minerals similar to spirit stones inlaid on the city walls at intervals, which seemed to be artificially refined, not naturally formed. These minerals were embedded in the city wall one by one, and seemed to form a faint formation.
"Those are the bases of the Great Protector Array. Whenever the demon clan attacked, the city lord would summon the city protectors to work together to activate this city protection array to protect the mortal people in the city. Once the big array is opened, as long as it is not a master in the tribulation period, it will not be able to break the city in a short time, and this time is enough for each city to ask for help from the sect to which it belongs. Xuanzhuang next to him watched Ye Fei look at those ores, and stepped forward to explain to him the function of these ores, his face full of pride.
Ye Fei didn't care about his inexplicable pride, or rather, he was attracted by an information point and had no time to care.
"The sect you belong to?"
"That's right, behind every city, there will be its own sect. The sect sent people to manage the city and protect the safety of the people, while these mortal people had to pay taxes for the daily food and clothing of the ordinary disciples of the sect behind them. Every few years, the sect will also select qualified outer disciples to go up the mountain at the various branches set up in these cities. Otherwise, where do you think those disciples who didn't have a foundation and what they eat, drink, and wear every day came from?Why? Senior disciple doesn't know?" Xuanzhuang turned his head and looked at Ye Fei strangely.
"Uh, I was just a small place, so I didn't know much about that. Ye Fei felt that there seemed to be some other unclear meaning in Xuanzhuang's eyes, so he casually made an excuse.
"Senior brother, senior brother, hurry up. "In front of him, Xuan Xin had already entered the city gate and was waving his hand to greet them.
"It's coming, it's coming. Ye Fei didn't delay, and ran towards Xuanxin.
Behind him, Xuanzhuang frowned and glanced at Ye Fei deeply, and in the next moment, he returned to his big grinning appearance, shouted and followed, and like a cheerful big brother, he couldn't help but introduce Ye Fei and the two of them to this customs and various interesting things.
Due to the relatively relaxed time, the three of them were not in a hurry, and they walked around the city for a day. In the evening, Xuanzhuang led the two to the City Lord's Mansion and showed the identity of the sect, and immediately someone arranged for them to eat and stay. Needless to say, this departure from the city must be the sphere of influence of the Qingling Sect.
After eating a delicious meal, Ye Fei and the three of them returned to the courtyard where they stayed at night, greeted each other, and entered their room.
Closing the door, Ye Fei didn't plan to continue cultivating, and fell lazily on the bed. He was so tired from the day. But it's not physically tired, it's mentally tired.
Through the scene at the city gate, Ye Fei faintly felt that Xuanzhuang's task was not just to come out to "bring new people", but also to monitor himself. Therefore, at the end of this day, although Xuanzhuang did not deliberately inquire about Ye Fei, Ye Fei was not a person from this world after all, and many things that were purely common sense in the eyes of others were not known to Ye Fei at all. For example, some ordinary snacks and some special melons and fruits made Ye Fei carefully avoid information such as names and tastes during conversations. Recalling the experience of the day, although there is a simple girl like Xuanxin who can talk and can also be used as a shield, Ye Fei still feels that he has exposed a lot of horses. However, Xuanzhuang never said anything, although he obviously felt that something was not quite right with Ye Fei.
Ye Fei thought about it and felt that Xuanzhuang should have been instructed by his master to do this. As a result, Ye Fei also roughly introduced the sect's attitude towards himself. Obviously, the top leaders of the sect obviously did not believe their original words. It's no wonder that those old guys don't know how many years they have been cultivating, they are all human spirits, so they won't be deceived by such a hairy boy as themselves. However, it doesn't matter, what matters is the sect's attitude towards itself now. Judging from Xuanzhuang's inaction and the pretense of several elders at the top of the hierarchy, they should only be suspicious of themselves, but they may not have malicious intent, or in other words, they have no malicious intent for the time being until they have thoroughly understood their origin and purpose. Perhaps, the task of this Xuanzhuang is not to monitor himself, but to observe himself and see if he is harmful to the sect.
After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Fei finally came to the conclusion: the sect has no malicious intent for the time being, and at the same time, as long as Ye Fei himself does not endanger the safety of the sect, they can still accept Ye Fei.
After coming to this conclusion, Ye Fei let out a long breath and felt that Xuanzhuang's observation no longer made him so uneasy. At the same time, he had infinite respect and gratitude for several high-ranking members of the sect, especially the head of Qingyun. Respect them for their open-mindedness in not killing innocents in the face of possible threats, and thank them for not only not hurting themselves because of doubt, but generously taking them in.
At this moment, Ye Fei felt some sense of belonging to the Qingling Sect from the bottom of his heart. Before, although he stayed in the Qingling Sect with a dead face, in the final analysis, he was just trying to learn the method of cultivation and find a backer in this strange world. If the Qingling Sect encounters a crisis similar to the extinction of the sect, with his character, he will definitely quietly flee from the Qingling Sect and be alone. But now, he felt that he should do something for the sect.
After resting all night, the three of them got up early, did not eat breakfast, and left the city early to continue their progress.
vaguely grasped the attitude of the sect, and along the way, Ye Fei no longer hid himself as carefully as he did yesterday. Not only is he no longer hiding, but he often asks Xuanzhuang and the others for some general information about this world. This made Xuanzhuang very surprised, but at the same time, he also liked Ye Fei's free and sincere appearance now, although he was still secretly paying attention to Ye Fei's actions, he also answered all questions, and he got along with Ye Fei very well.
The two have their own thoughts, but they tacitly understand it, talk and laugh happily, and have a sense of like-mindedness. I have to say, this world is so magical.
Xuanxin didn't find the abnormality of the two, he was still silly and innocent, under the care of the two, he laughed and laughed all day long, and when Xuanzhuang occasionally "induced" Ye Fei, he blushed and shouted threats loudly.
In January, the trio no longer just flyed. Occasionally, when the three of them meet cities and villages, they will stay for a while to experience the joys and pains of ordinary people, and see different customs and customs. Occasionally, the three of them would land in a mountain forest somewhere to hunt demon beasts, hone their spells, and improve their combat skills.
Today, not only has the cooperation of the three become more and more tacit, but the combat effectiveness has also undergone earth-shaking changes, which cannot be said to be the same. Not to mention Xuanzhuang, Ye Fei and Xuan Xin's law decisions are becoming more and more proficient, especially Ye Fei, after the advanced newly learned skills, he has not had time to familiarize himself with the drills, in this month, he just picked a few law decisions to practice.
While practicing, Ye Fei also had an intuitive understanding of the fighting style and combat effectiveness of the two companions. If you look at the division of occupations in the games on the earth, Xuanzhuang is a typical berserker, basically doesn't use spells much, and relies entirely on hand-to-hand combat. However, I have to say that the sharp and sturdy magic weapon axe, combined with his innate divine power and the explosive characteristics of the fire attribute, has indeed exerted extraordinary combat effectiveness, which is indeed the most suitable for his combat style and development route. Compared with Xuanzhuang, Xuanxin is a typical mage, and while the supernatural earth attribute spell greatly protects her own safety, the ground thorns will not pierce the body of the demon beast, and can suddenly erect an earthen wall to block the attack when Ye Fei and Xuanzhuang encounter danger, and the grasp of timing and distance makes Ye Fei stunned and convinced. At first, the macho idea of protecting the tender and soft girl was thrown into that corner for a long time. While Ye Fei admired Xuanzhuang Xuanxin, the two of them also admired Ye Fei's combat effectiveness. In order not to expose his aura flying sword, Ye Fei only took an ordinary iron sword. But this ordinary iron sword, it was made by Ye Fei to be shadowy, the cold air was pressing, in the high-speed movement, it can always stab the key point of the demon beast, coupled with the small spells that are quickly issued from time to time in the high-speed movement, often the demon beast has not yet made a move, and it has already hated the sword.
The three of them were satisfied with the strength and character of their teammates, and they became more and more tacit in their cooperation, and they hardly encountered much difficulty along the way, and marched happily towards the goal.
