Chapter 17: Into the City
The first rays of dawn pierced the darkness, and the long-lost light enveloped the earth again, and the gates of Qingyang City slowly opened......
When the gates opened, two rows of sleepy-eyed soldiers in armor came out and stood on either side of the gate. There are six people in each column, and their strength is not low, they are all monks of the tenth level of condensation!
Seeing the city gate open, those monks who were cultivating outside the city gate got up one after another and lined up outside the city gate to enter Qingyang City.
Seeing this, Mu Shaoyang immediately followed quietly and blended in with the crowd in line.
In the crowd, Mu Shaoyang immediately noticed that something was wrong, everyone who wanted to enter the city had to hand over their storage bags for inspection, and then those who checked would take out some things from the storage bags and put them in their storage bags, including spirit stones, pills, and magic weapons.
This made Mu Shaoyang frown, he never thought that this would be the case, it has only been a few days, and it has become like this!
"Hey, brother, you look pretty good, I haven't seen you in the past two days. At this time, a monk behind Mu Shaoyang patted Mu Shaoyang's back and accosted him.
Mu Shaoyang looked back and saw that it was a seventh-level Qi Condensation monk, and asked in a low voice at the moment, "What's going on?"
The man stretched out his head and looked ahead, "Hey, that's the case, presumably Brother Tai was chic and happy in the city a few days ago, and he was driven out yesterday because he didn't have enough spirit stones to pay,"
The man laughed twice, "No, everyone who wants to enter the city must be exploited by them, otherwise they won't be able to enter the city." Anyway, now those big people are busy running for their lives, and they don't bother to care about them. ”
"Oh, then won't you run away?" Mu Shaoyang asked.
"How can we?" he smiled self-deprecatingly, "The demon army is very fast, we are just monks in the condensation period, and we don't have enough resources to consume, so we can only wait here to die." As he spoke, his expression was full of amazement.
"So these people are waiting for death now?" Mu Shaoyang was a little surprised, these people who were at the low end of the cultivator were so vulnerable in the face of disaster.
"No, there are still some chances, but the chances are slim. The man smiled wryly.
"What chance?" Mu Shaoyang asked.
"Well, look there. The man pointed to a place by the gate,
Mu Shaoyang looked down and found that there was a table there, and there were two monks behind the table, and there were a few pieces of paper and a pen on the table.
"What's that for?" Mu Shaoyang asked.
"Recently, the city lord found a sealed ruin, which had been controlled by the Yuyang Gate before, but the Yuyang Gate was destroyed, and the seal was somewhat loose, so the city lord is gathering people to explore the ruins, but you must be a person at the peak of the condensation period to go. ”
"And this?" Mu Shaoyang thought.
"As long as you sign up, you will be immediately treated as a guest by the city lord, it seems that tomorrow sunset off to explore the ruins, so today is the last day of registration, if it weren't for my lack of strength, I would definitely participate, the city lord has promised, as long as anyone can make a contribution, then I will take him to escape with him. ”
"I see. Mu Shaoyang nodded, but he sneered in his heart, "It's fake to take you to escape, I'm afraid it's for you to be cannon fodder!"
......
"Mu Shaoyang, go and participate, hurry!" The voice of the black bone suddenly sounded, and there was a hint of urgency.
"Why, this is obviously the city lord who wants to make another fortune before escaping, and then find cannon fodder?" Mu Shaoyang asked suspiciously.
"If I'm not mistaken, during the Great War, there was a powerful man of the Demon Clan who was defeated by Mu Feng, and his palace was also sealed, and this place seemed to belong to him at that time, so it is very likely that the ruins this time are his palace!"
"Which powerful person of the Demon Clan is it?" Mu Shaoyang asked.
"King Yu! It's King Yu! If I'm not mistaken, at that time, King Yu's demon soldiers, King Yu's banner, and some of King Yu's demon supernatural inheritances were also sealed together, if you can get them, your strength will increase greatly!"
"But I can't use the weapons and supernatural powers of a powerhouse of King Yu's level now, right?" Mu Shaoyang wondered.
"No, no," Wu Gu said excitedly, "The characteristic of King Yu's supernatural powers and weapons is that they are evolutionary! This is very rare, because King Yu is a genius! A real genius!"
"After he entered the demon during the condensation period, he realized two great supernatural powers! These two supernatural powers have accompanied him all his life, and they have been continuously strengthened with the enhancement of King Yu's strength, so even you can use it now, and the stronger your strength, the stronger the power you can exert!"
"I see, no wonder I can use it, then I must participate, if I want to escape from the Western Regions, the stronger the better!" Mu Shaoyang immediately made up his mind to explore the ruins.
"Of course, if it weren't for King Yu's cultivation time being too short and failing to reach the peak of the Heavenly Road, it would be difficult to say whether the person who could fly to the Immortal Realm in the end would be the Demon Venerable or King Yu!"
"What? You have to use the Immortal Realm Fragment to kill it?" Mu Shaoyang was shocked! Because in the record, it was only said that King Yu was defeated by Mu Feng and was killed by Mu Feng, but he didn't expect King Yu to be so strong! No wonder Wu Gu was so excited.
"Hmph!" Mu Shaoyang snorted coldly again, "This city lord really wants to get rich and wants to go crazy, and he actually pays attention to the demon ruins!"
"In the face of disaster, it is a little good to take advantage of the chaos, after all, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Black Bone said.
"Yes, what an opportunity!" Mu Shaoyang shook his head and immediately walked over there to sign up.
"Alas, brother, are you going to sign up?" Seeing Mu Shaoyang walking towards the registration office, the man said loudly behind Mu Shaoyang.
Mu Shaoyang didn't look back, and waved his hand back, which was a response.
......
Mu Shaoyang came to the table, and the monk sitting behind the table barely opened his sleepy eyes, and asked lazily, "Come and sign up, boy?"
"Hmm. Mu Shaoyang nodded.
"What's your name?" asked the monk, picking up the brush and spreading the paper.
"Poplar. Mu Shaoyang returned, he didn't use his original name, because even if this little monk didn't know the name Mu Shaoyang, the city lord of Qingyang City was by no means a lonely person, and it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble at that time, and even lead to death!
"Well," the man nodded, scribbling down his name on a piece of paper, and then turned to the other monk beside him, "take him to rest and explain something to him by the way." ”
The monk behind him nodded, beckoned to Mu Shaoyang, and motioned for Mu Shaoyang to follow him.
"My name is Liu Han, after I take you to see where you live tonight, you can move around the city freely, as long as you can arrive when you leave tomorrow, take this," Liu Han took out a jade slip from the storage bag and threw it to Mu Shaoyang,
"When you leave tomorrow, Yu Jian will send a message to you, and also, take this pill. Liu Hanyou took out another white pill and handed it to Mu Shaoyang, and then stared at Mu Shaoyang, wanting to see Mu Shaoyang eat the pill with his own eyes.
Mu Shaoyang took the pill, looked at it, and asked, "What is this?"
"Poison," Liu Han said lightly, "It's to prevent someone from running away, the antidote is only available to the city lord, and when the task is completed, the antidote will naturally be given to you." ”
Mu Shaoyang hesitated, but still swallowed the pill, for the sake of King Yu's magic soldiers and magical powers, he had to swallow it, and the black bone also quietly said that it was okay to swallow it, this is the real reason why Mu Shaoyang dared to swallow it!
Watching Mu Shaoyang swallow the elixir, Liu Hancai continued to walk forward, and walked into the city, Mu Shaoyang found that the entire city was lifeless, and the wide streets were extremely empty on both sides, and he only occasionally encountered one or two monks.
"Now the demons are coming, and those who can escape have fled, and only the city lord finally discovered the ruins and decided to stay for a few more days, so the city is very depressed. Liu Han explained.
"Now people are mainly concentrated in the east of the city, where it is more lively, where you live is in the west of the city, if you want to walk, go to the east of the city, there is also a trading market, you can go there to buy some pills or something, after all, it is inevitable to go to the ruins. Liu Han reminded.
"Well," Mu Shaoyang nodded, he really had to go to the trading market, Mu Shaoyang wanted to see if there was a map of the Western Regions, after all, if you want to escape from the Western Regions, it is very convenient to have a map. As for the pills or something, Chen Yingxuan and the three of them all had some in their storage bags, which were enough for Mu Shaoyang.
After walking through a few deserted streets, Liu Han took Mu Shaoyang to a pavilion, and some noisy voices came out of it, and he threw Mu Shaoyang a key, "Just go in and pick a room where no one is there, and I'll go first." ”
Mu Shaoyang took the key and nodded.
