Chapter 276: Heavenly City
The first time he saw Starwind City, Ye Bai had a feeling of brightness, the city was built on a mountain range more than 500 zhang high, the sky was connected with clouds, like a city in the sky, the starry sky was within reach, the buildings in the city were scattered, uneven, many people, pushing open the window, it was a cliff.
Starwind City is bordered by the vast sea, the climate is pleasant, the rain is abundant, and the city can be seen everywhere with green trees and flowers, a vibrant image, and the whole city seems to exude a layer of turquoise light.
The flowers and trees in the city are united with the trees on the mountain, and there are no boundaries and no distinction between them.
Although Ye Bai had seen it once in Li Lu's memory, it was completely different from what he really saw, compared to the rugged desolation of Longyu City, this city was undoubtedly more like a fairyland on earth.
"Why does this princess think that Li Lu's expression is particularly strange, like seeing Starwind City for the first time. ”
Princess Zhuman's heart fell on Ye Bai from time to time, and she noticed the shock in his eyes, and her eyes were sharp.
Ye Bai smiled slightly and said: "The princess must not know, there is a word on this shijie called the aftermath of the catastrophe, for people who have died once, seeing their hometown again will always be the same as a dream, which is unbelievable and exciting." ”
Princess Zhu Man was stunned, she didn't expect that she could say such moving words as insidious and vicious as Li Lu, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
"After entering the city, you accompany me to the City Lord's Mansion first, I have a secret letter to hand over to the Lord of the Starwind Mansion, Candle Wumo. ”
Princess Zhu Man's voice was cold and hard, and he was not allowed to refuse at all.
Ye Bai's face turned cold and said, "You went to deliver the letter, why did you pull me up?"
Princess Zhuman glanced at him and said, "Without this princess by her side, how can you explain that the letter was sent to Longyu City more than a year late? ”
Ye Bai was stunned, almost forgetting that there was still this matter.
Starwind City, unlike other cities, does not have a half-foot wall. Therefore, a platform with a radius of 100 zhang was deliberately set aside in the south, and there were countless stone steps leading to the foot of the mountain in the middle of the platform for mortals to go up and down.
Seven people landed on the platform. Walk to the Castle Lord's Mansion.
Most of the buildings in Starwind City are made of wood, and the houses are covered with green vines, which hang down in the air and flutter in the wind, which looks very interesting.
There are a lot of people in the city, people come and go, and the clothes on their bodies are much richer than the animal skins and rattan armor in Longyu City, and most of them are cloth clothes. The colors are also colorful. In Li Lu's memory, it seems that there is a plant called snow cotton growing under the mountain, and the woven cloth is soft and comfortable, and it is very popular with mortal monks.
Perhaps because it had been peaceful for so long, there was an air of ease and laziness in the whole city, and even the monks were gentle and polite on the surface. It's not as wild and fierce as Longyu City.
Ye Bai and his entourage walked through the streets, immediately attracting the attention of many monks. After all, it is rare for six Jindan monks to appear together.
"That woman seems to be Princess Zhuman of Longyu City. ”
The sharp-eyed monk immediately recognized Princess Zhuman.
"Well, I know that dark-skinned man, his name is Yan Long, and in terms of seniority, he can be regarded as the nephew of our senior Wu Shi, the first talisman master of Starwind City. ”
"What are they doing in Starwind City? I heard that the major cities are going to reopen underground wrestling tournaments. Aren't they going to participate?"
"Who knows, that kid...... I'm not mistaken, it turned out to be Li Lu, this despicable guy, who is still alive. He killed his own brother, and he still had the face to come back. ”
The people walked through the streets, and from time to time gossip came to their ears,
Princess Zhuman sneered: "Your reputation in Starwind City is not small, and it is not easy for a small foundation building monk to be well-known. ”
Ye Bai was pointed at, he was secretly depressed, and he was ridiculed by Princess Zhuman, and his face was even more gloomy.
"Have you heard? The identities of Li Lu and his brother are not simple, I heard that they are the sons of Mrs. Yun and Li Tuo. ”
"Which Li Tuo?"
"Of course, Li Tuo, the genius monk 'Sword Monarch' who is closest to the late Yuan Infant in the history of our barbarian race, I heard that the position of the lord of the mansion was personally brought down by him, but he has disappeared for a long time. ”
"Brother Dao only said half of it......" Another person said mysteriously: "Li Tuo is not missing, but was killed by the mansion master himself a hundred years ago." ”
"Oh, why is that?"
"The reason for this is intriguing, I heard that the position of the lord of the mansion should have been the ...... of Li Tuo's predecessors"
The atmosphere of the Wild Continent is open, and the affairs of men and women are relatively casual, and everyone does not mind too much that Li Lu is the son of Mrs. Yun and Li Tuo, but is more interested in the matter between Candle Wumo and Li Tuo.
Ye Bai turned his head to see that the few people who spoke just now had disappeared into the crowd silently. But there are more and more voices in the crowd, and the gaze cast to Ye Bai is becoming more and more complicated.
Princess Zhuman naturally didn't care, but it was the first time that the five Yanlong people heard about it, and swept towards Ye Bai from time to time, with strange eyes.
After a while, the seven of them arrived in front of the Starwind City Lord's Mansion, Princess Zhu Man revealed her identity, and someone introduced them into the mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is located at the highest point in the north of Starwind City, and from the top of the view, you can overlook the entire Starwind City, which is magnificent. Li Lu got the nameplate from his brother, and he was required to serve the City Lord's Mansion according to the regulations, so he had been in and out many times, and the monks guarding him had already remembered him, and he had not given a good face once, but this time his eyes were a little cringe.
Entering the council hall, a tall man with long hair hanging down to his waist was facing away from them, breathless, as if he were mortal.
Hearing the footsteps, this person turned around suddenly, his eyes first fell on Princess Zhu Man, and then turned to Ye Bai, there was no expression on his heroic and domineering face.
This person is in his forties, handsome and unmatched, with a tall and slightly hooked nose, which looks both resolute and full of heroic spirit, his eyes are as dark as the sea, shining brightly, with his majestic figure like a mountain, the whole person exudes an indescribable sense of mystery and masculine charm.
Although he was wearing just ordinary clothes, there was a sense of everyone between his eyebrows, not angry and arrogant, and he was clearly standing there, but people couldn't capture his position, as if he had merged with the entire void, regardless of each other.
A terrifying aura suddenly came from him, as if to make everyone surrender to him, Ye Bai and the others were almost unstable on their feet, among the monks Ye Bai had seen in his life, only the "Emperor Mu" Ji Baiyi had brought him such a strong feeling.
"I wish the princess a great coming, Candle Long has not been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins. ”
The sound was like thunder, shaking people's eardrums, this person was the great prince of Starwind City, Zhu Long, who had cultivated to the middle stage of the Yuan Infant.
Princess Zhu Man used her mana, fixed her body, and squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't dare, Zhu Man came uninvited, it was my rudeness." "There is no such thing as the rude appearance before, the two of them have the same status, but the realm is not the same, and Candle Long is the first choice for the next mansion master of Starwind City.
Candle Long said: "I heard that the princess came to reply to my father's secret letter last year, I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Princess Zhuman said: "This is true, but my father explained that this letter needs to be presented to the senior of the mansion master in person, please forgive your highness." ”
The cold light in Zhu Long's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "In this case, I will send someone to lead the princess to see my father in a while, but my father's letter has been sent for more than a year, and the princess only replied at this moment. Please give me an explanation. ”
Princess Zhuman smiled slightly, she didn't believe that Zhu Long hadn't received the news of Ye Bai's late arrival until now, and said with a smile on her face: "Regarding this matter, Your Highness can't blame us, the messenger you sent didn't arrive in our Longyu City until more than half a year ago." ”
Candle Long's eyes suddenly opened, staring at Ye Bai tightly, and said sharply: "Li Lu, what's going on?
The invisible coercion like a tide rushed towards Ye Bai, Ye Bai took three steps back in a row, and only barely fixed his body, and the sweat was actually in a few breaths, his back was wet, and he stiffened his head and said: "I was in the misty forest, I was attacked by demon beasts and monks, I was seriously injured, and I was raised for more than half a year before I could set off on the road again, and I delayed the time, please forgive me." ”
"Really?"
Candle Long's eyes were as cold as ice, noncommittal.
Princess Zhuman said: "Your Highness, this person only has the cultivation in the later stage of foundation building, and it is quite difficult to send the letter alone and deliver it safely, my father admires this person's loyalty and bravery, and the matter in the secret letter has not been delayed at all." I hope that His Royal Highness will give my father a thin noodle and spare him. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Long groaned slightly, a strange smile appeared on his majestic face, and he nodded lightly: "Since I wish the lord of the mansion and the princess to help you intercede, this matter will be settled, if there is a next time, you don't have to come back, find a demon beast and finish yourself off." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"
Ye Bai saluted respectfully, stood aside, his brain was spinning rapidly, Zhu Long let him go so easily, obviously had other plans, I am afraid that even if Princess Zhuman did not intercede, he would not punish himself too harshly.
Candle Long and Princess Zhuman said a few more polite words, and then sent someone to lead him to see Candle Wumo, but left Ye Bai behind.
"On the way back, did you hear rumors on the street?"
Candle Long stared at Ye Bai's eyes tightly and said word by word.
Ye Bai lowered his head, pretending to be cowardly, and whispered in a trembling voice: "I heard it." ”
Candle Long smiled, "Then what do you think?"
Ye Bai said categorically: "The rumors on the street are not enough to be believed. ”
Candle Long smiled slightly: "No wind and no waves, it may not be a rumor, if it is true, what are you going to do?"
Ye Bai said: "The villain is just a small repair, and he doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes, what he did before and how he will do it in the future." ”
Candle Long nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you go down!"
Ye Bai saluted again and turned to leave.
"I forgot to congratulate you, the red line gave birth to a son for you, go back and enjoy your family!"
Behind him, Candle Long suddenly said coldly. (To be continued......)
