The East Sword Sea is the territory of the Sea Emperor Sword Kingdom.
In the East Sword Sea, there is an island called Guchi Island. The island is not big or small, and there are villages and towns scattered here.
At this time, Li Qiye walked out of the sea and landed on the island. After leaving the Kuroshio Sea, he crossed the restricted area barrier, walked to the East Sword Sea, and landed on Guchi Island.
The path was quiet and quiet. Li Qiye walked on the path as if he were leisurely strolling in the courtyard, aimlessly and casually. He did not try to figure out where he came from or where he was going.
On the path, there were occasional pedestrians coming and going, but no one would pay attention to Li Qiye. After all, he was an ordinary person, so who would take a second look at him.
People on the path came and went in a hurry, but no one paid attention to Li Qiye.
While walking, he passed by a stream. The stream was curved but gentle. Li Qiye stopped, looked at the water, and then walked along the river bank.
There is a house by the river, and smoke is curling up from the kitchen, but beside the river, there is a woman washing her yarn.
Li Qiye stopped and looked at the woman washing her hair. The woman was in her early thirties and was dressed in light white cloth. The cloth had patches, but it was washed clean. At a glance, one could tell that the woman did not come from a wealthy family. Of course, wealthy families will not wear yarn here.
The woman has a dignified appearance. Although she is not stunningly beautiful or gorgeous, her simple appearance is dignified and natural, her complexion is healthy, her face is round and soothing, and her whole person looks comfortable.
The woman wears her hairpin at an angle. Although her hair is quite messy due to work, it is natural. She does not look noble but gives people a comfortable feeling.
Although the woman was wearing coarse linen clothes, the clothes were a little loose. Although she was clean and tidy, she looked quite casual. The rather loose cloth could not cover her undulating body, and there were visible ravines.
The woman is very serious in Huansha. Her face is reflected in the stream, and there is a feeling of blending with each other. It seems that in this moment, she is one with the heaven and earth, natural and comfortable, which makes you fascinated.
Li Qiye stopped here and looked at the woman wrapping her gauze with a natural expression.
The woman also saw Li Qiye, but she was not surprised and continued to sew the gauze with smooth and comfortable movements.
Li Qiye sat by the stream, leaning on his knees and supporting his chin, looking at the woman, as if in front of him, this woman was a peerless beauty.
The woman had finished washing the gauze, got up, went home, and hung it to dry in the courtyard.
Li Qiye followed and watched the woman drying her clothes. His expression was very natural and there was no sense of rashness at all.
Just imagine, a woman is alone at home, and Li Qiye, a man, follows her. It is not appropriate to be alone with a man and a woman. However, Li Qiye does not feel inappropriate at all, but feels very comfortable.
After the woman finished drying, she looked at Li Qiye and said, "Master, what's the matter?" The woman spoke, her voice was pleasant, round and comfortable, like running water wading through talc, there was a silent sound of moistening things.
"What's your name?" Li Qiye didn't answer the woman's words, but asked instead, which seemed very impolite.
However, the woman was not displeased and replied: "Xiyue."
"Xiyue." Li Qiye murmured, turned around and left without saying anything else.
The woman was not surprised, she just watched Li Qiye go away, frowning lightly, and finally returned to the house without saying anything more.
Li Qiye walked along the path. Not long after, he saw a city in front of him. There were more and more pedestrians on the path and it became lively.
Although there are monks coming and going in this road, most of them are ordinary people, who are just running around for survival.
When approaching the city, Li Qiye started walking. He simply sat on a rock beside the road, leaning on his body, half lying down, looking at the city in front of him, with a lazy and bored expression, as if he wanted to take a good rest before setting out on the road.
The city in front is not a big city, nor is it a huge ancient city, but a small city.
I don’t know how many years this small town has been established. The city walls have long since collapsed, leaving only broken walls and bricks. However, from the few remaining bricks, it can be seen that the female city wall once stood tall and tall here. In the sky.
However, as time has passed, all of this has been turned into broken bricks and tiles. Even so, it can still be seen from the ruins that this place was very impressive back then.
There is a plaque on the city gate with ancient characters written on it. However, the ancient characters are too old. Even if they are carved on bluestone, they are almost blurred with the polishing of the years, but they are still there. Some outlines can be seen.
Li Qiye lay on the rock in the middle of the night, chewing on the long grass, looking at the dilapidated old city in front of him in boredom, looking at it in a daze, as if he was wandering in Taixu.
The ancient characters are vague and unclear, and these ancient characters are also very old. Today, few people know these two characters, but everyone knows the name of this small town - Holy City.
The Holy City, such a small city, has such an amazing name, which is incompatible with its scale. It is really too different.
However, for millions of years, as long as the world has known it, this small town has been called the Holy City, so the residents and monks here are all used to it.
"Holy City -" Looking at the two ancient characters that were blurred, Li Qiye sighed vaguely, feeling a little sad and murmuring. It seemed that all of this was unspoken.
The ancient city of the past is no longer what it used to be. It is just an old and run-down small town. There are not many people living in the whole small town. It is like sunset and dusk. It seems that this small town has reached its end and one day it will too. It will be lost in this world, and only broken bricks and tiles will be left in the end.
As long as it lasts long enough, even the remaining bricks and tiles will be covered by lush plants.
Li Qiye sat there, looking at the small town boredly. He didn't know whether to go into the city or not. He just sat like this, looking at the rogues, sitting bored.
Pedestrians coming and going did not pay attention to Li Qiye. After all, at any time, pedestrians would get tired and stop to rest.
Just as Li Qiye was looking at the small town boredly, a young man came in a hurry. When he approached the small town, he stopped and looked at it.
The sun was about to set, and the small town looked a little dead in the falling sunshine. Although the scenery was beautiful, it gave people a cool feeling, just like the state of a person walking alone in his old age.
The young man couldn't help but be attracted by Xiao Cheng's appearance, and looked at it in trance.
This young man was wearing a tunic and was walking in a hurry. He looked like he had come from afar. Although the young man is not tall and tall, it can be seen from his tight clothes that he has strong muscles and looks strong, as if he can pounce like a tiger at any time.
The young man's clothes are neat, but there is nothing gorgeous about them. However, his demeanor is very rhythmic and regular. It can be seen that he comes from a famous family. However, he is not as gorgeous as a famous family and looks too simple. .
Despite this, when this young man raised his sword eyebrows, there was an aura surging. He was like a soldier who had returned from disarming. Although he did not show any sharpness, he always had the intention to fight.
After the young man came back to his senses, he wanted to walk into the city, but at this time, he also noticed Li Qiye.
"Brother, don't you want to enter the city?" The young man also saw that Li Qiye was a monk. He cupped his fists and asked with a smile.
Li Qiye couldn't help but glance lazily at the small city, and said in a sickly voice: "The city is too old and people get tired easily, so take a rest."
"The city is too old and people get tired easily." The young man could not help but be attracted by Li Qiye's words.
He savored it carefully, came to his senses, couldn't help but clasp his fists, and said: "Brother, what you said is so good. The city is too old and people get tired easily. It's almost dusk."
As he said this, the young man didn't know where he got so many emotions from, or maybe the situation at this time touched his emotions, which made him look at the small town a few more times, and said: "When I came, I also I heard that this holy city has a long history and is so ancient that it cannot be traced back. Who could have imagined that there would be such an ancient city on such a small ancient Chi Island in this remote ocean? .”
"Yes, it's too old." Li Qiye couldn't help but nodded slightly, looked at the small city, and murmured: "It's so old that people can't remember it. Things are so different from people."
The young man couldn't help but be startled. He didn't understand why Li Qiye was so emotional. After all, the small town in front of him was neither a shocking place nor a famous place. It was just such a small town. It was ordinary. If not Something happened in this area back then, and I'm afraid no one in the world would pay attention to such an island.
A place like this is nothing more than a speck of dust to the entire world.
"Brother, don't lament. There are not many places to stay in this area. Although the city is old, you can still stay." The young man said with a smile.
"That's right." Li Qiye couldn't help but nodded.
"Chen Cangsheng, I'm destined to meet you. Please take the first step." The young man said nothing more, clasped his fists, and left.
Li Qiye smiled and continued to lie there without paying attention.
As the sun set, Li Qiye finally stood up lazily and couldn't help but murmured: "Although the city is old, it is still a place where you can stay. Come on, let's take a walk." With that, he walked towards the small town.
The small town is indeed very small, with only 81,000 people living there. Such a small town, in some parts of Jianzhou, can't even be called a small town.
Although the city is small, the streets are all paved with ancient stones. Although some of the ancient stones are broken, it is enough to show the scale of the city back then.
Li Qiye walked slowly on the ancient streets of the small town.
At this time, the small town also became lively. The lights were on for the first time, people came and went, the sounds of shouting, selling, talking... were intertwined, adding a lot of vitality to this ancient city.
"Although the city is old, the people are new." Li Qiye walked on the ancient street and said with emotion: "This is the meaning of endless reproduction."
