Gu Huai's old injuries cannot be cured overnight. Even if the spiritual root defects and foundation damage are not treated first, at least the hidden injuries must be treated. Otherwise, you may not be able to leave the city, let alone leave this secret realm safely.
Just as Ning Xia had thought before, Gu Huai chose to postpone the treatment of his root problem and did not want to treat it in a place where the situation was unclear at the moment.
He didn't even ask Ningxia to follow him to understand the situation and contacted the doctor on his own. Ningxia would meet the doctor almost every day, and would give her a slight nod every time he left.
Originally, Ningxia was planning to see if she needed any materials... After all, every time she met this fellow Taoist Gu, he was always so "poor".
But according to what he said, those people haven't come here yet, so his side is more stable for the time being, and he won't be as short of resources as before.
But until the last time we met, he seemed to be lacking all kinds of elixirs and elixirs, and it was impossible to have many on hand now... Ningxia was dubious, but Gu Huai was very insistent, and she was not really a mother, so she just casually There he went.
In the next few days, I saw that the other party's condition had improved visibly, and he was gradually improving. He should have gotten better with the doctor and had a plan. As for what happens next, that is his path. After all, everyone has his own path to walk, and no one can help others walk.
Gu Huai is busy with his own affairs, and Ningxia also has his own affairs to be busy with.
She came to Yeming City for another purpose, and it was something she had been thinking about since she landed in Middle-earth. Now she finally found some clues.
It seems that having more experience is not a bad thing. The more you experience, the more people you know, and the more news you get. Although this information may not necessarily be useful or relevant to her, she might be able to use it one day.
Thanks to Zhenjun Yunmao for mentioning that, otherwise she would have just rushed into this city like a headless fly without knowing that what she wanted to know was right in front of her.
From a normal person's perspective, this Yeming City is really weird.
Not to mention its questionable geographical location, there is something weird about this place both inside and out. Ning Xia felt this way when she first came in, but in her rush to save lives, she ignored it.
But now that I have settled down and spent a few days here...well, Ningxia still can't help but say that this place is really weirdly good.
This city is called Yeming City, which means "all day long like night, brightly lit." This city is covered by a thick layer of haze all day long, with no sunlight visible, looming day and night, and the entire city is immersed in darkness.
Only the lights rising in the city brought some light to this dark world.
However, what impressed Ningxia here was not the darkness like night, but the well-made metal masks with tight structure and tight seams. Although there are many different styles, there is a full sense of eerieness against the backdrop of this dim city.
Monks entering this city must wear special masks, otherwise they are prohibited from passing here. It is said that monks who break into the city under unknown circumstances will soon be taken away by the city's "law enforcement team".
No one knows where they went or what fate they ended up with. There are many rumors in the city about this issue, and most of them are biased toward the fact that these people were secretly dealt with, and no one has ever seen them again.
In this city, besides Yong Ye, another important element is the mask. No one is allowed to take off their mask in public in any way at any time.
Once one's true appearance under the mask is revealed, it will be regarded as a challenge to the majesty of Ye Ming City, and the person may be arrested and punished at the least, or killed on the spot at the worst. Well... although there seems to be no way to survive if arrested and dealt with, there is still some hope.
It would be too unworthy to end up being killed on the spot because of a mask.
Although this rule is very strange, as the Romans do in the countryside, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. To survive here well, you have to abide by other people's rules.
After entering the city, the monks wore masks most of the time, and some would not take them off even when sleeping, in case there was an unexpected accident and they would not be able to put them on in time. Probably because the bloody lessons circulating in the city are so loud, almost no one dares to openly violate this iron law, and everyone strives to be a well-behaved man in the iron mask.
Therefore, this city is also known as the City of the Man in the Iron Mask, and its reputation among the cultivators is louder than that of the "Ye Ming City". Everyone jokes that they are the Man in the Iron Mask.
But obviously, for Ningxia, who had just come here and were still unable to appreciate the black humor of this city, this joke was not very funny, but instead brought with it a hint of unspeakable horror.
To be honest, this place doesn't feel very good. It has a gloomy feel from the surface to the bones.
Of course, it just didn't feel good, and Ningxia got used to it for a while. After all, Ningxia has visited all the gloomy and weird places. In terms of evil, is there any place more evil than the City of the Living Dead? The atmosphere here may not be more depressing than that of Fuyun Island.
And these people wearing masks walking on the streets are also living people, they just cover their faces.
Although she was a little uncomfortable, after watching it for two days, Ningxia began to feel that she was gradually getting used to these masks, which were either dull or ferocious, and even the evil ghost masks that looked a little lifelike were getting used to them well. Sure enough, many things require practice, just get used to it.
As for how to return to the southeastern border, Ningxia is not very smart now. She knew too little information, and she was afraid that others would notice some clues, so she had to do a little bit of digging around, and what she got was very limited.
However, she was not in a hurry to explore around. She inquired bit by bit, then integrated the overall information, figured out some of the explicit and implicit rules of this place, equipped herself well, and then began to wander around Yeming City on a large scale.
Although he still hasn't found out what he wants to know, Ningxia still found out a lot of interesting facts about this city.
It turns out that this city has only just opened. If you calculate it carefully, it has only been open for more than ten days since the mysterious killing realm was opened.
It didn't take long for it to become so prosperous? Ningxia was a little surprised.
Look at the clear bluestone floors, clean pavilions, turrets and courtyards as well as all the living facilities in the city. It doesn't look like a city that has just been expanded, but rather like an ancient city with rich heritage. .
Later, Ningxia learned that the term "not open for a long time" does not mean that it has not been developed for a long time, but that it has not been "recovered" for a long time.
