After putting on the black robe, Chengshuo led the others to the outside of the city gate.
"Praise Master Wuwei!" After reciting a prayer, he raised his head and shouted to the tower: "Friends upstairs, please open the door!"
"Hold on!"
A mysterious black-robed man upstairs replied, then turned and left without opening the city gate immediately.
I don't know what he was doing.
"not good!"
Seeing the black-robed man on the tower leaving, Ni Li, the former leader of the Yin Sijian Longhu Gang, immediately sensed something was wrong.
He frowned and said, "He is wearing a black robe. He probably discovered that we had a problem and went to inform the people above."
"The monks in this city can kill even the abbots of Buddhism and Buddhism. I think they can beat a few of us."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ni Li suggested to everyone: "How about we leave directly!"
"OK!"
Chengshuo nodded, then took off his black robe and decisively threw it to the 'Tieniu' on the side.
He explained: "Let's go back, but before I leave, I'd better leave someone here, so I can test whether the people in this city are friends or foes."
Except for survival, Ni Li and others cannot see the 'Iron Bull'.
In their eyes, after Cheng Huo threw out the black robe in his hand, it just floated in the air for nothing, which made people feel indescribably weird.
Under the gaze of everyone, the 'Tieniu', who had no body, directly put the black robe on himself.
It's a good thing that he didn't wear the black robe. Now wearing the black robe, he looked like a ghost. When Ni Li and other monks saw him, they all had strange expressions on their faces.
"Fellow Taoist Tieniu?" Ni Li tried to ask the floating black robe.
"What's wrong?" the latter responded.
Ni Li stretched out his hand towards the 'Iron Bull' and released the 'power of pain' in his body, trying to feel the existence of the 'Iron Bull'.
But after several attempts to no avail, he could only sigh and said: "It's nothing."
After that, he followed the others and evacuated towards the previous entrance.
Not long after.
Through the perspective of 'Ti Niu', Zhengsheng stood on the city tower and saw a monk with unfathomable cultivation.
Being unable to see through his cultivation level at a glance means that this monk has at least a cultivation level above the deep dive stage.
And he is not the kind in the fish-man village whose physical strength has reached the deep dive stage, but a true deep dive monk.
Monks of this level of strength have only met three people in their lives so far. They are Yun Rusong, Xuansi, and Li Zhuo.
These three people are all very powerful people.
On the tower.
The monk stared at the 'Tie Niu', or rather the black robe that Tien Niu wore, and looked at it with great interest for a long time.
He tried to speak: "Are you human?"
'Tieniu' responded: "Junior Tieniu, I have met my senior!"
"Um"
After the deep dive monk responded, he introduced himself: "I am the lord of this city."
"Before, it was you who knocked out two monks in my city and then took their clothes, right?"
"this"
'Tieniu' didn't know how to answer.
At the same time, Chengshuo, who had evacuated to the entrance of Tianshan Mountain, commanded from a distance: "Just admit it directly. After all, everything is already obvious."
Tieniu, who was confronting the deep dive city lord, immediately said: "Yes, I did snatch the black robes of two monks before."
"Just admit it." The city lord spoke in a calm tone, so it was difficult to judge his mood or anger.
He continued to ask Tieniu: "Where are the others with you?"
"gone."
'Tieniu' pointed at Wu Ku and others hanging at the city gate with his black robe, and explained: "Because I was afraid of the strength of my seniors, I left early."
"Hmph," the city lord sneered, "these monks are just like you."
"After they managed to steal a few black robes, they disguised themselves and sneaked into the city, and set up a formation in the city."
"Then, I discovered them and beat them to death."
"This" Hearing this, Tieniu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
not far away.
Cheng Sheng was also extremely shocked.
But the city lord in the deep submergence stage continued: "But you don't have to be afraid. The reason why I killed those monks was because when they were robbing the black robes, they killed several monks in my city, as well as those who lived in the city. A few civilians in the city.”
"Unlike these monks, you just knocked those people unconscious and didn't do anything to them."
"So, I allow you to enter the city, but you need to apologize to those people after entering the city."
Just apologize?
How can this city lord with deep dive cultivation be so easy to talk to?
Downstairs.
'Tie Niu' raised his head and stared at the deep dive monk and remained silent.
With just a few words, he would not easily believe everything the other party said.
Seeing the silence of 'Tieniu', the city lord said with an indifferent expression: "In short, my attitude has been stated. As for whether you are willing to enter the city and whether you believe what I said, it all depends on you."
"One more thing to mention by the way."
The city lord during the deep dive period thought for a moment and then added: "My city is the only way to the top of the Tianshan Mountains and to the great platform of the Tianshan Mountains."
"So, monks from outside often pass by my city."
"Most of these monks have reached the Blood Pill Stage. The purpose of coming to the Tianshan Secret Realm is to seek Dagon's blessing and then break through to the Deep Latent Stage."
"I'm not afraid of blood-dan stage monks."
"But behind these Blood Pill stage monks, there are often deep dive stage monks, or even monks with higher levels of support."
"I don't want to offend the people behind them, so when a monk passes by me, I often open the door wide, just to have a good relationship with him."
"Unless." At this point, the city lord changed the subject and said sternly: "Unless you came to my city intentionally to cause trouble."
"Just like the previous monks," he said meaningfully, "You are not that kind of people, right?"
"Ah,"
'Tieniu' said with a smile: "Senior, we don't have any intention of causing trouble, we just want to pass by this city."
"In that case, those of you, please help yourself!" The monk in the deep dive stage said, and then said to his men in black robes: "Open the city gate and let those few people in."
After saying that, he said to Tieniu: "You juniors, if you are brave, you can look for me in the city lord's mansion after entering the city!"
After saying these words, the monk in the deep dive stage left the tower and ignored the 'Iron Bull'.
…
The entrance to Tianshan Mountain.
Seeing Cheng Sheng sitting cross-legged on the ground, he suddenly opened his eyes. Ni Li hurriedly asked: "How is it? What is the attitude of the monks in the city?"
Chenghuo said: "The lord of that city is not hostile and promised to let us pass through his city safely, but..."
"Just what?" Ni Li asked.
Chengshuo smiled bitterly and said: "It's just that the city lord has a deep cultivation level and his strength is unfathomable."
With that said, he relayed to Ni Li and others the exact words that the city lord said to 'Tieniu' before.
"Because you don't want to offend or make enemies with others, why do you let all passing monks pass?" Ni Li analyzed: "If this is the reason, it makes sense. After all, cultivation is not just about beatings. Kill, kill, strength comes first.”
"Sometimes, you also need to consider the wisdom of the world. Because you never know whether there is someone behind the person you offend."
"So in my opinion, it's better to do this." Ni Li gave his own opinion: "We entered the city, but for safety reasons, we tried not to visit the deep dive monk in the city lord's mansion, and always maintained a certain relationship with the monk. distance and then maintain a certain level of vigilance.”
"Okay." Chengshuo nodded in agreement.
at the same time.
The remaining three people, Zhong Ran, Lei Lei and Boya Zhi, had no objections.
After everyone reached an agreement, they cautiously entered the city ahead.
Everything that happened after that went surprisingly smoothly:
The city lord didn't have any intention of harming anyone, and he didn't have any big conspiracy. He was waiting for Chengshuo and others to come to his door.
At the same time, monks such as Wu Ku, who disappeared and switched to Little Buddhism, did not come back from the dead.
As for what kind of conspiracy they have and what purpose they have in coming to the secret realm of Tianshan Mountain, Cheng Sheng will definitely have no chance to know.
Not only that.
Perhaps to dispel the concerns of Cheng Sheng and others, when the five of them passed through the city, the deep dive city lord never showed up.
It wasn't until the five people left the city that the city lord appeared above the city tower.
He looked at the leaving Chengshuo group and shouted: "Fellow Taoists, you seem to have forgotten something, right?"
?
Chengshuo was stunned when he heard this, then bowed to the city lord and said with a wry smile: "Before, it was indeed our fault."
As he spoke, he took out a set of armor used by monks in the worshiping stage and two flying swords from the storage bag on his waist.
Cheng Sheng controlled the treasure to fly to the hands of the city lord, and said: "It's such a small thing, I should just compensate those two fellow Taoists."
The city lord nodded, didn't say anything more, and just bowed his hands to Chengshuo: "Guys, take care!"
Seeing his goodwill, Chengsheng kept a certain distance from him and asked curiously: "Senior, can I ask if you can go all the way from here to the top of Tianshan Mountain and leave this secret realm from the big platform on the top of Tianshan Mountain? "
"good."
The city lord responded: "In my Tianshan City, countless monks pass by almost every year, so even if there are dangers ahead, whether there are wild beasts or ghosts, they have already been dealt with by the monks passing by. How can we let you How many have I encountered?"
Chengshuo added: "Since you can leave at any time through the top of the Tianshan Mountains, why does the senior have to stay in this secret realm all the time? As far as I know, the curse in this secret realm of the Tianshan Mountains should have a great impact on the monks in the deep dive period. Impact."
The city lord shook his head and smiled: "That curse may have an impact on you, but to me, it is like the relationship between fish and water."
