The journey went relatively smoothly without any trouble. As evening approached, Chi Tianma pulled the hull and lowered the height significantly. At this moment, Shi Jiu could vaguely hear the noisy noise below.
Out of curiosity, Shi Jiu stretched out his head and looked down.
Although the sky began to slowly darken, an extremely large outline loomed in front of Shi Jiu's eyes, and bright lights were constantly appearing within this huge outline.
This is Tianyou City, the largest city within a radius of ten thousand miles. Even Liushan City that Shi Jiu has seen cannot compare with it.
Soon, four Red Pegasus horses pulled the hull of the ship and landed on a flat ground in Tianyou City.
Then, amidst the shouts and scoldings of the irritable man from Antian Pavilion, Shi Jiu followed the example of others and started to move the supplies in the ship.
After arriving at a warehouse, Shi Jiu unloaded the supplies like everyone else. After unloading, the others still walked back to the cabin to carry other things.
Shi Jiu did not go back to carry it, but found an excuse and left the warehouse.
After a while of twists and turns, we finally arrived on the street.
People were coming and going on the street, and the sounds of various hawkings were heard all the time. The buildings on both sides of the street were all lit up. Under the lights, Tianyou City looked even more prosperous at this moment.
Tianyou City is the county seat of Tianyou County. It is not only prosperous, but also has many forces entrenched here. The two strongest forces are Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect, but the headquarters of these two sects are not in the city. , but in the Dark Sky Valley and the Vast Mountain outside the city.
There are branches of the two factions in Tianyou City. The place Shi Jiu just left was a warehouse of Antian Pavilion under the Tianyou City branch.
Although it was his first time here, Shi Jiu didn't show any signs of life at all. Instead, he followed the flow of people and started shopping.
When he came to a shop called Qingyou Bookstore, Shi Jiu stopped for a moment and then entered the store. He needed to buy some maps. He had bought some in Liushan City before, but there were no maps of Tianyou City and Kuanggu Mountains. . This time it's all ready.
After entering the store, Shi Jiu started to wander around. After arriving at the bookshelf marked with maps, Shi Jiu began to flip through it carefully.
After selecting the map he wanted to buy, Shi Jiu came to the counter and prepared to pay and leave.
"Sir, are you planning to try your luck in the Mining Ancient Mountains?" the shop boy in charge of the cashier said with a smile.
Shi Jiu didn't answer, just looked at the other party.
The shop boy didn't care, but continued: "These days, people come to buy maps of the Kuangu Mountains every day. In addition, ancient ruins appeared in the Kuangu Mountains a few days ago, so they all want to try their luck."
After listening to the shop boy's narration, Shi Jiu just smiled slightly.
"Sir, you have to be careful. I heard that many people have died there, and most of them are rogue cultivators. It is said that Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect control the ruins so airtight that it is difficult for outsiders to enter. Inside." The shop boy still thought to himself.
Shi Jiu didn't answer the call. After paying the money, he left the book store.
"It seems that you have to be more careful when traveling to the Mining Ancient Mountains, especially the Antian Pavilion and the Cangtian Sword Sect." Shi Jiu, who was walking on the street, recalled what the shop boy said just now.
Not long after, Shi Jiu came to a restaurant. The restaurant was very gorgeous. Standing outside the building, you could see various figures inside. In addition to filling his stomach, Shi Jiu came here to "inquire" about the Kuanggu Mountains.
Shi Jiu did not enter the box, but went to the lobby on the second floor, found an empty seat and sat down. Then he ordered some food and drinks and began to eat and drink slowly. There were many people carrying swords sitting at the table near him.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the two great elders of Antian Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect fought again. Last time, the people from Antian Pavilion injured an elder of Cangtian Sword Sect. This time, the other party will definitely not let it go. .”
"Of course I've heard about such a big thing, but it's a pity that no one from either faction died this time."
"Although no one died, I heard that the two factions are about to break through the barrier. It is said that they can break through the barrier and enter the ruins tomorrow."
"It is said that this ancient ruins may be the remains of a certain great sect. There must be incredible treasures in it. It is estimated that there must be secrets of Kung Fu techniques."
"If you can find the secret book of the exercises, you will make a fortune!"
"Yes, I plan to go early tomorrow morning."
"I'll go with you, and I'll have someone to take care of you."
"Tomorrow? I estimate that many people will go there tonight. If you go late, you won't get anything."
"Okay, looking at how excited you all are, do you think you can get the treasures in the ruins if you go early? Don't even think about it, will Dark Sky Pavilion and Cangtian Sword Sect agree?"
"I don't have much hope. Let's have some soup. How many people are going to the Mining Ancient Mountains this time? Even though the two factions are tyrannical, they don't dare to offend the public, so we can still drink some soup."
"Well, that's right, but there are a lot of people who want soup, so we'd better go early."
"Yeah, I went late and couldn't drink the soup."
Several people at the next table were having a heated argument. Shi Jiu was listening to their argument while eating food and drinking wine.
"Sure enough, there are many people who want to go to the Mining Ancient Mountains to reap benefits. After the ruins are opened, many people will die." Shi Jiu is not worried about the large number of people. On the contrary, large numbers of people are more conducive to his own actions and safe evacuation.
Not long after, several people at the next table left the restaurant with excited shouts, preparing to head to the Kuanggu Mountains.
Shi Jiu did not follow him. After eating the food and wine, he asked the waiter to open a private room and go there the next day after a night's rest.
After returning to the private room, Shi Jiu began to study the map he had bought previously.
The Mine Ancient Mountain Range is located three hundred miles northwest of Tianyou City. It is famous for being rich in various ores. Nowadays, ancient ruins are talked about by everyone.
After reading the map, Shi Jiu started running the Poshan Code.
Now that Shi Jiu's injuries have basically healed, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of the Soul Realm, Shi Jiu exhaled after running the Soul Mountain Code.
"As long as you don't make a big mistake, you should have no problem protecting yourself." After feeling that he had stabilized in the spirit realm, Shi Jiu thought about his trip to the Mining Ancient Mountains tomorrow.
"I wonder if Shen Chuxiong of the Cangtian Sword Sect is dead. If he is not dead, will he meet him in the Kuanggu Mountains?" Shi Jiu thought of his previous encounter with Shen Chuxiong and others in the Hengduan Forest. Although he did not kill him in the end, he could not It is clear whether it was killed by the returning golden bear.
Then, Shi Jiu wanted to open the jade box containing the blue crystal scale beast's underworld core to temper his will, but considering that the ferocity emitted by the underworld core might alarm the nearby strong men, he had no choice but to give up.
…
In the early morning of the next day, after briefly washing up, Shi Jiu left the restaurant and walked towards the north gate of Tianyou City.
Walking on the road, monks carrying swords were walking away quickly beside them. It was obvious that these people were heading for the ruins of the Kuanggu Mountains.
After leaving the city gate, Shi Jiu also stepped up his pace slightly. After all, the Kuanggu Mountain Range was three hundred miles away, and even with Shi Jiu's current strength, it would still take him an hour.
However, after walking five or six miles, Shi Jiu met an acquaintance. When he was leaving the city gate, this man rode his horse and taunted the people walking.
Now he was fighting with someone with a sword, but he was accidentally frightened by his opponent and his mount was taken away.
Shi Jiu saw the other party's horse running towards him, and suddenly felt happy. He was worried about not having a mount, and now he took the initiative to send it to his door.
Shi Jiu jumped and sat on the horse, then clamped his legs and pulled the reins. The horse under him was guided and galloped towards the Kuanggu Mountains.
Seeing Shi Jiu galloping away on his horse, the man fighting against others immediately became anxious, abandoned his opponent, and chased after Shi Jiu, shouting: "Bold little thief, stop and die! "
Shi Jiu didn't pay attention and continued riding on horseback. It didn't take long before he disappeared in front of the chasing man.
After riding for more than half an hour, Shi Jiu finally saw the Kuanggu Mountains ahead.
Perhaps because of the long-term mining of ores, there are few trees in the entire mountain range and there are stones everywhere.
Shi Jiu rode the horse to a nearby woodland, then removed the horse's rope, patted the horse's butt, and let it go.
Shi Jiu knew that the journey ahead would be full of dangers and he needed to be careful at all times.
