Three months passed quickly, and Feizhou finally arrived at Yuming Fairy City. A towering giant city stands in the endless desert plain. The dark brown city wall bears the vicissitudes and thickness of the years. It is as heavy as a giant beast crawling on the borderland. It has not changed for countless years.
Standing in front of this giant ancient city, Cheng Ling felt shocked from the bottom of his heart. The momentum and vicissitudes of the ancient city all impacted his vision and heart.
Yuming Fairy City is located in the far west, also known as the border city. The ancient city is majestic and vicissitudes of life. The city is surrounded by endless plains, but there are monks in twos and threes, constantly coming and going. Judging from their uniforms, they are obviously not disciples of the same sect.
The flying boat slowly landed on the plain outside the city, and a group of people stepped off.
Uncle Ming looked at the ancient city wall and said: "Yu Ming Immortal City was originally sparsely populated. Only some monks who practiced earth-based techniques came here in search of ores such as Tianhuang Stone that contain rich earth-based immortal essence."
"But now in order to fight against the Buddha Sect, he is much busier and a little more angry."
Cheng Ling asked: "What are the rules in Yuming Fairy City?"
Uncle Ming glanced at him appreciatively. No matter where he goes, he must first figure out the rules of the game there. This is a necessary condition for an experienced monk.
As he walked, he explained: "Fighting is prohibited in Yuming Immortal City, and sleeping on the streets is not allowed. According to classic records, Yuming Immortal City is one of the oldest cities in the immortal world. Only because the losses in the later Buddhist and Taoist wars were too huge, After the Dao Sect retreated to the center of the current immortal world, the city gradually became deserted and occupied by immortal bandits."
"It wasn't until thousands of years ago that a monk named Xu Mu came to Bianhuang City and killed all the leaders of big and small forces with great strength, unified Bianhuang in one fell swoop, and collected a large amount of resources to rebuild and restore order in the city. Today’s Yuming Fairy City.”
"Since then, the Yuming Immortal City has become independent from all major forces, and the Xu family has become the actual controller of the Immortal City. The immortal sects in the immortal world want to use the power of the Xu family to prevent the invasion of the Buddha, so there is no doubt about the ownership of the rights of the city. , and also gave strong support. Therefore, for thousands of years, the Xu family has always had a great reputation in the west of the fairy world."
Cheng Ling listened silently. According to this, Mrs. Xu was like a local emperor who said the same thing in Yuming Fairy City. In the future, he had to be careful in the city and not to offend easily.
Everyone marched along the city gate, but many low earth and stone buildings could be seen in front of the city. Inside the buildings were shops, wine shops, Xianxi Building, etc., and there were guards wearing black armor patrolling around them.
Uncle Ming explained: "The place where Yuming Immortal City is located is very dangerous. Immortals, Buddhist sects, as well as casual cultivators and half-demon who have wandered here will all come here, and the people are very complicated. In order to manage the city well, the entry fee is very expensive. , one hundred thousand mid-grade immortal crystals are needed.”
"Many monks cannot afford such an expense. Therefore, a living area like a market has naturally formed outside the city. Some foreign monks live outside in order to save the cost of entering the city."
"Of course, this also requires the permission of the Xu family. Those black-armored guards are the law enforcement teams sent by them. They charge a certain fee and at the same time protect the normal operations of merchants outside the city."
Everyone nodded and looked at the shops one by one. They found that most of them were earth-yellow herbs and minerals, which must be unique to the surrounding areas of Jade Tea Fairy City. There were no rare items.
Passing through the simple Fangshi area outside the city, we came to the city gate. I found four guards at the door, wearing battle armor and carrying swords at their waists. They exuded an iron-blooded aura, cold and solemn. They were obviously elites who had experienced hundreds of battles. Judging from their aura, they were all here. Heavenly realm.
The use of Luo Tianshang Immortal Stage monks to serve as city gate guards shows that Yuming Immortal City is powerful. Facing places like the Buddha Sect and the Bloody Wasteland, the strength of the guards is also the most direct deterrent.
After paying the entrance fee, everyone walked into the city. Uncle Ming breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We finally arrived safely. We were quite lucky. We didn't encounter any fairy thieves or monsters running out of the bloody wasteland along the way."
Zhou Yuanbai glanced at Zhou Bingqian with nostalgia and asked, "What are Brother Cheng's plans for the future?"
Cheng Ling said: "We have to go back to the master's wife first, and then we will follow her instructions."
Zhou Yuanbai said: "Well, when you settle down, don't forget to tell me where to stay. We will stay at Zhouji Danpu in Xicheng."
Cheng Ling nodded, and everyone left their message slips and went their separate ways.
Cheng Ling said: "Master's letter instructs Master's Wife and others to settle at the Wuji Sect's stronghold in the east of the city. Let's go there first!"
The three of them naturally agreed, and after a while of figuring out the direction, they headed east of the city!
The streets of Yuming Immortal City are paved with dark brown square stones and are ten feet wide. They are bustling with traffic and people. There are many shops on both sides of the street, making it very lively and prosperous.
The crowds coming and going were dense and varied, including disciples wearing the uniforms of the Immortal Sect, Toutuo wearing coarse linen clothes, some half-demon, bald monks, etc.
It seems that although the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism have different philosophies, Yuming Fairy City is still open to all rivers, and there are no restrictions on who can enter and exit. Moreover, these people will not easily provoke and cause disputes. The Xu family's methods of managing the city are very orderly and admirable.
The four of them kept moving forward in the crowd and soon arrived at Dongcheng. If the scene in the middle street of Yuming Fairy City can be considered prosperous, then the number of people in Dongcheng is several times that of the middle street. The streets are much wider, and the buildings on both sides are more magnificent and lined up very neatly.
Cheng Ling knew the reason, because most of the strongholds of many sects in the immortal world were in Dongcheng. Especially the Wuji Sect, as the top sect in the immortal world, occupies ten mansions and is extremely powerful.
Cheng Ling and others came to the gate. There were two disciples of the Immortal stage guarding the gate. The four of them handed over their disciple tokens one by one, and one of the disciples said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Cheng and Senior Sister Zhou. Immortal Emperor Yunmeng has been waiting for a long time. Please come with me."
After saying that, he turned to Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie and said, "Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Song, please wait a moment. The disciples of Immortal King Ziwei and Immortal King Qianjiang will come to greet you soon."
Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie were stunned. They didn't expect that their sect also had disciples in Yuming Immortal City. They turned to look at Cheng Ling, asking him to make up his mind.
Cheng Ling said: "You go see the master first, and if you have any questions, please contact me in time."
After saying that, he took Zhou Bingqian and followed the disciple towards the courtyard.
The space in the mansion is very large, and there is a world of its own in it. The flowers and plants are scattered and decorated with vitality, and the fairy aura is also very rich.
The disciple turned around several entrance doors and came to a secluded courtyard and said: "You two, this is the courtyard where Junzifeng stays. I sent my little brother here."
Cheng Ling nodded slightly and threw a bottle of pills to him. The latter happily took it and left.
The two of them walked towards the courtyard, and from a distance they heard Mu Jinrong's voice inside: "Tell them that the third child is not here, and they have sent several greeting cards in succession. Could it be that they are still trying to regain their place!"
Shen Mengting said: "Master, this person from Piaomiao Snow Sect could have fallen in love with the third senior brother. He blindly asks for an audience with him as a saint. He is really shameless."
Cheng Ling was stunned. What was going on? Even before he arrived, the greeting cards came over. He quickly quickened his pace and entered the inner hall. He saw Mu Jinrong sitting upright with Lu Xueqi and Shen Mengting standing beside him, but Jiang Chongshan, Yin Luoyao and others were missing.
Cheng Ling took a few steps forward, bowed and said, "Disciple Cheng Ling, I would like to pay my respects to my master's wife."
Mu Jinrong's face lit up and she said, "The third child is finally here. Your master has been worrying about you for a long time and has always been talking about it. Now he is relieved."
Zhou Bingqian also came to Mu Jinrong and said, "Disciple has met the master."
Mu Jinrong said, "Oh? Lao Shi is here too. It was a safe journey."
"I have three senior brothers taking care of me. It's been a good journey. Even Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie came here together this time."
"These two hozens don't stay well in the sect, but they insist on pestering the third child. Dekong really wants to talk to sister Ziwei and Immortal King Qianjiang."
Cheng Ling's thoughts are not on this. Isn't the saint of Piaomiao Snow Sect Yun Jingwen? Could it be that she also came to Yuming Fairy City? This was really an unexpected surprise.
He hurriedly asked: "Master Wife, I heard you say before that the Holy Lady of Piaomiao Snow Sect has handed over invitations several times, all to find her disciples?"
Mu Jinrong finally came to his senses and said, "Yes, someone leaked the news before, saying that you are also coming to Yuming Fairy City. Piaomiao Snow Sect knew about it, and their saintess sent several greeting invitations. , I don’t know what’s urgent.”
Cheng Ling said: "Where is the person who sent the greeting card now? Is he still nearby?"
Before Mu Jinrong could reply, Shen Mengting said angrily: "Third senior brother, how come you can't walk when you hear that she is a saint from Piaomiao Snow Sect? I sent her away a long time ago, but the person who sent the letter said that she will come back tomorrow. , making it so ambiguous, could it be that you have some relationship with their saint?"
Cheng Ling was stunned. What was wrong with this girl? She spoke so hastily. I am an old acquaintance with the Saint of Piaomiao Snow Sect, so what does it have to do with her? But since I will come again tomorrow, I am not in a hurry, and change the subject and ask: "Master, where are the master and senior brother?"
"Your master, senior brother and others have gone to the bloody wasteland. They will turn around in a few days. You have come a long way to go back and rest first. Remember not to run around. After all, Yuming Immortal City is not the Wuji Sect. After a while, the Immortal World Sect will There may be some big move with the Buddha Sect."
Cheng Ling asked: "What big move?"
"We don't know yet. We will know when your master and others turn around."
Cheng Ling nodded silently. He was not interested in staying longer with the women in this room. He immediately went to the side room to rest under the guidance of his serving disciple.
I've been walking this way for more than a year, but I don't feel it's hard at all. I just kept thinking about the experience with Yun Jingwen on Canglan Continent in my mind, and I couldn't calm down at all.
"Cheng Ling, my body has completely recovered, and my immortal essence has returned. But the next moment, I will return to the fairy world. I am very happy to be with you. I hope we can meet again in the fairy world if we are destined!"
"Cheng Ling, why don't I want to be with you? It's just that the passage to ascension has been opened, so I can't resist at all!"
"Cheng Ling, give up. This is a catastrophe. You can't resist it."
"Cheng Ling, let go, our separation is only temporary!"
"Northern Xuantian Qingweitian, Cheng Ling, I will always wait for you!"
The words she said before leaving kept appearing in her mind. Yun Jingwen's expression when she said goodbye seemed to be right in front of her eyes. After so many years, we could finally see each other again in the fairy world.
