Compared with the cities that Lu Ye had visited before, Yi'an City was a truly big city. Lu Ye didn't know who built such a big city, but the excitement in the city was obviously not comparable to that of the cities.
The 20-foot-high city wall is majestic and majestic, and a city gate alone is several feet high. The map shows that Yi'an City has twelve gates, and Lu Ye entered the city from the southeast gate.
As far as the eye can see, the road that can accommodate several horse-drawn carriages goes straight forward as far as the eye can see. There are shops on both sides of the street selling all kinds of goods.
People come and go, shoulder to shoulder.
Although it was night, the city was full of bright lights and a bustling scene.
Lu Ye walked by and had a look, which really opened his eyes a lot. But soon he discovered a strange thing, that is, there seemed to be many mortals in this city...
At first, he thought that those people had practiced breath-condensing techniques or were wearing some kind of spiritual weapon that obscured the spiritual light, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible because there were so many such people, until a drunk guy suddenly threw himself on them. On the ground, Lu Ye realized that these people were not monks at all, they were mortals.
There are actually mortals on the Lingxi battlefield?
Naturally, there are mortals in the Lingxi battlefield. Those with sects can return to Kyushu at any time through the Tianji Pillar at their sect's station after entering the Lingxi battlefield. However, casual cultivators are different. Although they can also do this, they can't come in again if they want to. It depends on the person's face.
Therefore, many casual cultivators will not return to Kyushu after entering the Lingxi battlefield.
They will get married and have children here, and reproduce their offspring. The descendants of monks may not necessarily become monks. Over the years, there will be many more mortals in the Lingxi battlefield.
Relatively speaking, it is easier for mortals to gain enlightenment in Lingxi Battlefield, because the environment here is better, so many sects like to find suitable candidates and recruit disciples in Lingxi Battlefield.
However, because the Lingxi battlefield is not safe, there are many ferocious beasts, and there are frequent fights between monks, so there are basically no traces of mortals in the wild. Generally, only in large-scale cities can there be room for mortals to survive, as before by Lu Ye There will be no mortals in the markets I have visited.
There is also a small river flowing through the city. At night, there are several small boats floating in the river. On the boats are young men and women taking a night boat trip.
After wandering around the city for more than an hour, Lu Ye purchased the necessary supplies.
What he buys most is food and clothes.
Needless to say about food, he and Amber are both big eaters, and they can't eat more than twenty or thirty kilograms of meat in one meal. The food bought this time is not too much, because there are a lot of monster beasts stored in the storage bag. The meat was all eaten by amber when participating in Longquan.
The meat of monster beasts is much more nutritious than ordinary beast meat, and it is also what Lu Ye and Amber like to eat the most, especially the meat of snake monsters, which tastes very good... Unfortunately, after eating a few meals since leaving Qingyun Mountain, they have never eaten again. No more good food.
As for clothes... I basically have to put on a new set after every battle, either because it's stained with the enemy's blood, or it's my own blood, which is never clean.
After asking for directions, Lu Ye rode Amber straight to the Tianji Merchant Alliance here.
Although there are inns in the city, relatively speaking, Lu Ye is more accustomed to staying in the Tianji Business Alliance. At least safety is guaranteed, and the cost of one spiritual stone per night is not expensive, and he can afford it with his current wealth. .
…
Under the dim lights, the woman screamed. She covered her back with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes. However, she was taken advantage of by a young man in brocade clothes while shopping at the night market.
The young man in brocade clothes looked like he had an extraordinary background. He was dressed in rich clothes and gold and jade. He had a lewd smile on his face. He raised his hand and sniffed under the tip of his nose: "It smells good!"
The woman's husband accompanied her and asked what was going on. He stepped forward to argue with the young man, but was knocked to the ground by the evil slave beside him, screaming in agony.
There was a monk on the side who couldn't stand it and wanted to teach the dandy boy a lesson. However, as soon as he stood up, he noticed that there was another person in front of the young man.
Taking a closer look, I saw that the body surface was rich in aura, and he was clearly a sixth-level monk.
In the outermost circle of the battlefield, Lingxi Sixth Level is rare. To be able to appear beside this playboy as a guard shows that he has an extraordinary background.
This person originally just wanted to fight against injustice, but he still had the courage at this moment. He himself was only at the third level of Lingxi.
"What a shame!" He said angrily, turned around and walked away, out of sight and out of mind.
There are always many injustices in this world, and how can he deal with them?
"Okay, okay, don't beat him to death." The dandy young master said, and the few evil slaves dispersed. Those who knew this dandy were already accustomed to it, so they just shook their heads and sighed.
The woman who had been taken advantage of fell on her husband and cried non-stop. The dandy young master let out a long sigh, turned around and patted the chest of the sixth-level monk: "It's so boring, Old Dong."
Old Dong...
The corner of the sixth-level monk's eyes twitched suddenly, and he looked up at the full moon in the sky. What evil had happened to me!
He betrayed the sect, his three apertures were broken, and his future was hopeless. In order to get rid of the sect's accountability, he fled here day and night, and joined a ninth-grade family by relying on his previous connections.
I thought that with his sixth-level cultivation, even if he didn't get much attention, he could still have a decent identity. After all, there were very few sixth-level monks in the outer circle. People like him could definitely do it. Sit in the garrison and become a deputy garrison envoy.
He was a guardian before.
The family he took refuge in received him warmly, but after he actually joined, he was assigned the task of personally protecting his young master!
This kind of errand can be summed up in two words, that is, escort!
He, a dignified sixth-level monk, actually wants to be a bodyguard for an ordinary person? When he heard the news, his whole body was about to burst.
He comforted himself that this was just a test. After all, he had a bad record of betraying the sect. It would be good if someone could accept him at this time.
The young master he wanted to protect was like all the dandies in the world. He led a few evil slaves to run rampant in the city all day long, causing people to complain. He did everything except good things, and he was beaten before. Almost lost his life.
Although the young master is a mortal and is not favored by the family master, his charming mother is the family master's heart and soul. How can a mother not love her son? Under the instigation of that wretched maid, he, the one who took refuge, was Assigned to the young master as a guard.
After a few days of contact, he discovered that this young man's character was not generally bad. Just like just now, he didn't insist on doing anything to this young lady. This man was just mean...
At the end of the day, he couldn't rest without touching ten or eight people. Many people in the city knew him, and most of the young ladies didn't dare to say anything after suffering a loss, so they just let it go.
However, this guy behaves in a measured manner and never provokes monks. He only bullies ordinary people. I don’t know how a mortal can develop the discernment between monks.
I can only say that everyone has their own talents.
He would not cause any casualties easily, just like just now, he just asked a few evil slaves to beat someone up. This may be the biggest reason why he can survive until now. Of course, another reason is that his family is strong enough.
"Let's go, old Dong!" the young master greeted and led several evil slaves Shi Shiran away.
Lao Dong followed him with a dark face, feeling that his life was gloomy.
At the southeast gate, a carriage stopped, and a young man took two people into the city. The flowers in the city dazzled the two people who had never seen the market before.
The young man in the lead has a fifth-level cultivation, while the other two only have a two-level cultivation, one male and one female.
"There are many people in the city. Don't run around. If you get separated, you won't be found." The young man warned.
Among the two second-level monks, the woman responded obediently and followed her senior brother, but the man smiled and said: "Junior sister, don't listen to my senior brother's threats. There are battlefield marks. If we get separated, we can also contact our senior brother."
"Yes." The woman suddenly reacted and turned to look at her senior brother, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.
The senior brother had a headache and sighed: "Okay, go shopping by yourself. Remember to find me at the Tianji Merchant Alliance. Let's stay here today and set off again tomorrow!"
"I know, senior brother!" The woman cheered, and she and the second-level man rushed into the crowd and disappeared.
The young man sighed helplessly and walked towards the Tianji Merchant Alliance.
…
On the third floor of Merchant Alliance, in the guest room, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, with fifty-four spiritual apertures gathering spiritual blessings, and the spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth continued to pour in.
He was not in a hurry to practice because there was one thing that he never had time to investigate.
He reached into the storage bag and took out a flat object, which was exactly the one that spewed out of Longquan.
At that time, time was tight, and he only had time to put the thing into the storage bag. Later, Tang Wu was at his side, and it was not easy for him to investigate, so he took it out only now.
"Ah wu..."
What Lu Ye didn't expect was that just when he took out the things, Amber growled, lowered his body, and looked at the things in his hand fiercely.
This is a sign of Amber's hostility.
Lu Ye was puzzled and looked at Yiyi. Yiyi quickly comforted her and communicated with Amber for a while before explaining: "Humber can't explain clearly. It was just an instinctive reaction."
"instinct?"
"Yeah." Yiyi nodded.
Lu Ye lowered his head and looked at the thing in his hand. This thing was about the size of a palm and oval in shape. At first glance, it looked like something like fish scales, but upon closer inspection it didn't look like it.
Snake scales?
Lu Ye suddenly remembered that there was a flying dragon pattern on the bronze door. The scales on the dragon were very similar to the one on his hand.
Couldn't it be dragon scales?
But how could a dragon scale erupt from Longquan? And I haven't heard anything like this mentioned by Xie Jin. If there were dragon scales erupting in Longquan before, then this matter must not be hidden, because Qingyushan's family is not the only one who is tempering their bodies in Longquan.
Lu Ye recalled the two huge blood-red pupils that appeared in his mind during the body tempering process.
What is that, what is this?
