Under the warm hospitality of the villagers, Fan Yi finally felt good about being supported by people.
I have been away from Rongcheng for too long, fighting all the way, and sometimes I look back and realize that guarding is the right way.
Early next morning.
Fan Yi took the Tianling Seal and the Roulette Mirror to check every place in the small cave sky. He was relieved until he made sure that there was no evil spirit in the cave sky.
Three days later, Fan Yi walked out of the stone gate.
When he put the small stone door into the square-inch tiger card, he stopped staying.
Only by arriving at Tianlong City, looking for news about Wuzong and paying homage to the gate can one fulfill the elder's instructions.
The young man walked along the river bank until he reached the next ferry terminal and took a boat directly to his destination.
On the way, Tianlingyin told the young man some secrets about the Gate of Paradise.
It turns out that the forbidden area does not exist in a door or a magic weapon, but in another unknown place.
The function of the stone gate is only to connect the forbidden area, but without such a magic weapon, it is almost impossible to enter it. Therefore, when encountering an irresolvable danger, you can open it and hide in to escape. disaster.
The reason why a forbidden place is called a forbidden place depends on the character of the person who controls it. Whether it is a dangerous place or a blessed place, it is also related to this.
Tianlingyin couldn't tell whether such a small cave was located somewhere in Qingyun State or somewhere in the Netherworld.
The human race's Martial Immortal King once made bolder guesses.
He believed that the forbidden area did not belong to the Netherworld, but perhaps belonged to other realms other than the Netherworld.
It’s just that the road to immortality is long, and the further you practice, the more clues you will find.
It's as if the people in the underworld are restricted by certain rules and unable to peer into higher places.
Although Tianlingyin said a lot to the young man, it is still too far away for now. Maybe he will understand it when he reaches the top in the future.
A few days passed.
On this day, the boy walked from sunrise to sunset.
Fan Yi saw from a distance that there was an open space between the two peaks in front, and there were a series of red candle lanterns there.
Fan Yi was overjoyed. After walking for so long, he finally came across a ferry. It was much larger than the previous ferry town.
Fan Yi approached quickly, and in a short time he went down the mountain and arrived not far from the ferry.
There were only two merchant ships parked on the river bank, and the ferry town was at least five hundred feet away from the river bank. Outside was a city wall, and in the middle of the city wall was a city gate.
Two characters are carved on the stone above the city gate: Zuoqi.
It seems that this town is called Zuoqi, but Fan Yi doesn't know what it means.
It was dark, and there were no pedestrians carrying supplies back and forth. The town gates were closed, and there were no warriors guarding the city walls.
Fan Yi walked towards the city gate alone. When he got close, he knocked and an old man's voice came from inside the door.
This voice sounded tired, and the cold heavenly beings had lost their energy.
"Who is it? If you don't go back to town at this late hour, why are you wandering outside?"
Fan Yi said with a smile:
"Old man, please open the door."
Fan Yi heard someone inside start to fiddle with the door bolt, and the door was slowly opened inwards.
An old face poked out from the door, and finally stood in front of Fan Yi.
The old man's face was a little haggard. He was wrapped in cotton clothes and wore a hat that covered his ears on both sides.
The old man crossed his hands into his sleeves. Seeing that the young man in front of him didn't look like a bad guy and was dressed luxuriously, he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"Brother, go in. You can't stay outside the city after dark. Go in quickly."
Fan Yi was dumbfounded for a moment. He passed the test without questioning, so what else would he do with the city wall?
Fan Yi took out some money from his pocket, handed it to the old man Xiang and said:
"It's such a cold day for you to open the door. I'm being careful, please accept it."
The old man had experienced this kind of thing often, and it was the best if it happened. He didn't care if it didn't happen, he just took the money in a familiar way and stuffed it into his sleeve.
There was more joy on his face.
"Old man, just now you said not to wander outside the city after dark. What did you mean?"
When the old man heard this, he grabbed Fan Yi's sleeve and pulled him inside, then closed the door and locked the bolt.
He whispered solemnly:
"You're an outsider, so it's not surprising that you don't know."
"When it gets dark, there are ghosts!"
As soon as he said these words, the old man took advantage of the situation and patted his mouth gently, as if begging the ghost for forgiveness.
Didn't mean to mention it.
Fan Yi thought the old man was honest and funny, so he said softly:
"I understand, take care of yourself, old man. I'll go to the town to find an inn."
The old man smiled and nodded, then turned and walked into a small wooden house next to the city gate.
As Fan Yi walked on the street, he could only see red candles and lanterns hanging outside every house, but not a single pedestrian.
Thinking about it, I feel strange. It hasn't been dark very long. Where have all the people gone?
The young man continued to move forward with doubts in his heart. As he walked, he finally saw the small building with the inn sign.
Boom, boom, boom.
I gently knocked on the door three times, but no movement was heard.
Fan Yi had no choice but to knock on the door again, but with much stronger force, and finally there was movement inside.
The footsteps coming downstairs were slow and steady, and then they quickened their steps, and they heard the sound of someone approaching.
When the door of the inn opened, it was a middle-aged man. He looked Fan Yi up and down, and his tone was not enthusiastic.
said:
"Why so late? There is only one room left, can't you stay?"
Fan Yi smiled and replied:
"live."
The middle-aged man stretched out a hand indifferently and said:
"Our store only accepts spirit stones. One spirit stone lasts one night. If you want to eat, I will ask the waiter to make it for you, but it will cost extra."
Without further ado, Fan Yi took out four spirit stones and handed them to the middle-aged man, saying:
"Stay in the store for now. I'll let you know when I decide what I want to eat."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then moved out of the way, pointed to a room in the middle of the second floor, and said:
"Go up, I'll ask the guy to get you some hot water later."
Fan Yi ignored the middle-aged man and walked straight towards the stairs.
At this time, the middle-aged man had a strange look on his face and whispered:
"Very weird."
In fact, what Fan Yi was thinking at the moment was the same as what the middle-aged man said.
This place called Zuoqi Town is also very weird.
After Fan Yi entered the guest room, he lit a candle himself and was satisfied when he saw that everything was clean and tidy.
Not long after.
The waiter brought hot water for washing his face, put it down, then turned around and brought back hot tea.
He didn't say a word until he closed the door when he left.
Fan Yi walked to the door and fastened the door bolt. After washing briefly, he sat on a chair and drank tea.
Just when he was halfway through drinking, the middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door again, saying:
"Go to bed early. It's not good to light the lights late."
Fan Yi was shocked!
