In mid-May of the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, at ten o'clock at noon on this day, outside Yujian City within the sphere of influence of Tianzhu Peak in Shushan Mountain on Jiannan Road, a group of five people slowly walked up. They were just outside Chang'an City not long ago. Ye Qingcheng and his party separated from Feng Wei, the young owner of Mingjian Villa, and others. It took them half a month to find the cultivator city at the foot of Tianzhu Peak based on the impressions of Bai Quan and Ye Qingcheng. Ye Qingcheng and Bai Quan had indeed been to Tianzhu Peak, but because they were in a hurry, Bai Quan still used I, so they didn't spend much time arriving at Jiannan Road, and they went directly to Tianzhu Peak instead of finding a nearby city to settle down first, so they didn't know much about the land route at all, so when they came It took some time on the road.
This Sword Controlling City is the largest cultivator city at the foot of Tianzhu Peak. This city was founded by a certain leader in Shushan. It is for this reason that it was named "Sword Controlling City". After such a After years of development, the scale of this city has grown to an extremely astonishing level. Although most of the industries are under the name of Shushan, there are also many forces mixed in the city, making various industries extremely prosperous. Even the disciples on Tianzhu Peak or other disciples will often visit Yujian City. Although it has not been announced in name, Yujian City is equivalent to a city where Shushan disciples live and do business. It is much more lively than the small markets in Shushan Sect.
And one thing is very important, that is, the scale of this city is quite large. Although it cannot be compared with Chang'an, it is probably not overly generous. Therefore, it is not only cultivators who live in it, but also many mortals. More on that later.
It is precisely because this city does not have restrictions like other cultivator cities that ordinary mortals cannot see or feel the existence of the city. In addition, it belongs directly to Shushan, so Ye Qingcheng and his party decided to come first. Stay here in Yujian City and see the situation before making plans.
Looking at the low walls and slightly deserted gates of Yujian City, Ashinaguti and Baiquan looked at each other, and both of them frowned in unison. Obviously, the situation in this city was somewhat different from what they thought. Not quite the same. Even Ye Qingcheng raised his brows, feeling a little surprised. After listening to Bai Quan's description, he thought this would be an extremely prosperous and lively city, but in his eyes now, this city is too deserted. Compared with the previous ones, Compared with the Chang'an they had just left, the sky was like a sky and the earth was different. Just the sound of the bustling crowd outside the gate of Chang'an City was about to overwhelm the deserted Sword City.
They were resting on a hillside about ten miles away from Sword City. From their eyes, the scene at the city gate could be clearly seen. However, except for a few mortals who came in and out after a long time, they were resting on a hillside. , they have only seen a cultivator's escaping light fall at the city gate from the beginning to now, and they have never seen the others since they entered the city.
However, whether it was Huan Chenyu or Bai Quan, they both looked normal, and there was nothing strange about them at all. This made Ye Qingcheng, who noticed this, couldn't help but infer that this should be an extremely normal thing, otherwise They wouldn't react like this.
Although he could roughly judge the reason why Sword City was so deserted through inference, the two barbarians couldn't sit still.
"Senior Baiquan, didn't you say that this city of swordsmanship can be ranked at the forefront even among the cities of cultivators? But today, it seems that this city is so deserted." Finally, Ashinaguti couldn't help but say to Baiquan asked.
As if he had known that they would ask this question, Bai Quan couldn't help rolling his eyes at them. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Qingcheng from the corner of his eye and found that although he also had a doubtful look, he looked very natural and seemed to be happy. The form is hidden, or does he already have the answer through inference?
"I said that you two are scheduled to be high-level physical practitioners in the future, can you use your brains? Originally, the reason why barbarians are looked down upon in the mortal world is not only because they are uncivilized and barbaric, but also because they are relatively stupid. If in the world of cultivation If you continue to talk like this, I'm afraid others will continue to laugh at you." Bai Quan's tone suddenly hardened, and he began to lecture the two of them. Although the origin of the cultivator is never questioned in the world of cultivation, everyone They are all classified as human race, but if you really want to dig deeper, Hu cultivators are really rare, even Huan Chenyu has never seen them.
"Can cultivators, cultivators, be compared with you mortals? Even the lowest immortal level existence has a lifespan of two to three hundred years. Their time passes relatively slowly, and most of their time We are all in the midst of cultivation. Do you think you have to go shopping every day like you mortals? If it were any other city, let alone us resting for such a short time, even if we had to sit here for half a day, It would be nice to be able to see a cultivator's escaping light. In some smaller cities, there may not be cultivators coming in and out every week, not to mention that most cultivator cities are far from comparable to Sword City. ."
"I see, thank you, Senior Bai Quan, for your advice." After hearing Bai Quan's explanation, Gu Guang and his wife suddenly realized,
Yes, since it is a city for cultivators, how can it be compared with a city for mortals? Considering the longevity of cultivators and the frequency of their daily activities, it is already good for them to see a ray of light in Yujian City for just such a short time.
However, I just don’t know if there are so many people on the streets in Yujian City. If the whole city is lifeless like Baiquan said, and not even a single person can be seen on the streets all day long, then what will happen to them? It's really boring for such a mortal. The two of them came from Mobei and had never entered any big city. When they were in Fengxiang, they were in Earth Escape and couldn't see the ground at all. When they were in Chang'an, although they could feel the excitement in the city outside the city, But Ye Qingcheng refused to enter the city. If the Sword City was really so deserted, their expectations would be greatly reduced.
"Have you rested enough? Let's find a place to stay in the city first." Ye Qingcheng stretched, stood up and said.
Although they have arrived at Yujian City now, he is a little unfamiliar with the situation here and must be careful. It is true that this is a large city directly belonging to Shushan, but it does not mean that there are no forces lurking in the Great Light Palace here. .
