"Is this the Stone City..."
When Jiang Zicheng saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.
The topography here, whether it is man-made or the miraculous work of heaven and earth, looks amazing and filled with strange pressure.
Feng Qingwu ignored Jiang Zicheng's words.
Because at this moment, she was frowning and looking up at the dome above her head. After seeing this strange topography -
Feng Qingwu remembered that when she was in the medicine field in her previous life, she heard conversations between some disciples - that was a few years later. It was said that a small town was suddenly razed to the ground one evening.
And according to the news she bought at Tianji Pavilion before...
As the sun sets, Shicheng seems to have changed.
"Sister, look!"
"What?"
Feng Qingwu raised his eyes and hugged the cub in his arms tightly.
At this moment, a ray of red-hot sunset light illuminates the cliff, as if it were covered with a layer of flaming clouds.
The sunken stone city in the distance seemed to come to life under the wind and sand and the afterglow of the setting sun.
The wind and sand gathered around Shicheng, and then quickly dispersed.
The raging and violent wind and sand continuously released shock waves to the surroundings. It felt like... someone was smashing the gathered wind and sand in a circle, and then the resulting punch was earth-shattering.
At this moment, the faces of Jiang Zicheng and others changed drastically.
"Damn it, what's going on in this stone city? Run!"
'boom--'
But just when the astonishing momentum reached them, it suddenly stopped outside the cliff, just cut off by the chasm. The momentum, which almost eroded the heaven and earth, reached them——
There was only a moment left, the breeze blowing slightly at the corners of the clothes.
For a moment, Jiang Zicheng and the other three were slightly stunned, and then they noticed Feng Qingwu standing in front of them.
The corners of the girl's green shirt moved slightly with the breeze.
Under the orange-red glow of the setting sun, it seemed as if a layer of radiance had been laid over her. Even her gentle and smiling eyebrows seemed to have an unfathomable sense of sight - compared to their embarrassment.
Feng Qingwu seemed particularly aloof and independent.
Xia Tao & Chen Shi: Damn, this guy is showing off!
Jiang Zicheng: Damn it, it has to be my senior sister!
Feng Qingwu, who was still a little nervous just now, relaxed his hold on the cub in his arms: ...Sure enough, information is very important, Tianji Pavilion yyds.
Mu Jiuke, who was almost strangled to death: Act, I can't even pretend to be you.
——Four people and one beast, with different thoughts.
Feng Qingwu coughed softly and changed the subject: "This is a phenomenon unique to Shicheng. Every evening, there will be this strange power that sweeps across the entire surrounding Shicheng."
"But it only cuts off the area around Stone City. At the same time, Stone City will not be damaged. It is probably because of this that the strange landforms of Stone City were formed over time."
After explaining, Feng Qingwu turned around and said, "Let's go to Shicheng first and have a look. I'm afraid there may be something wrong with this strange phenomenon."
Jiang Zicheng immediately said: "Yes, Senior Sister!"
…
After entering Shicheng, they realized the difference from Huacheng - compared to Huacheng, which was a city of monks, Shicheng was mostly filled with mortals, and even the monks on the road were mostly in their Qi training period.
Glance over.
Feng Qingwu felt that even his own novice could defeat him.
Mu Jiuke: ...You make it difficult for me to criticize you.
Because of the large number of mortals, although Stone City is remote and desolate with few monks, it is also extremely full of fireworks. Therefore, when Feng Qingwu and others came here, they restrained their aura.
Looking at the fireworks filling the streets of Shicheng and the mortals setting up stalls on the roadside, Xia Tao and Chen Shi kept their faces downcast.
At this moment, they were all looking around with interest.
Jiang Zicheng, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically quiet. It wasn't until Feng Qingwu looked over that he explained: "It's not like I haven't seen it before. It's nothing strange."
Hearing this, Feng Qingwu withdrew his gaze.
Jiangzicheng may also hide some past...
But just when Feng Qingwu's thoughts were drifting away, he suddenly heard a long neigh of horses, followed by the sound of horse hoofs rising and falling.
"Everyone, everyone, listen up!"
Accompanied by a loud and energetic shout, pedestrians all over the street subconsciously looked towards the end of the street. It was a middle-aged man riding a horse and wearing a short guard uniform.
Jiang Zicheng and the others looked over curiously: "This person is..."
"The Wu family's head guard, Wu Zhong."
It happened that at this time, Feng Qingwu introduced: "It is said that the Wu Zhong lineage is the slaves of the Wu family. Because they have been loyal to the Wu family from generation to generation, they were given the surname and are highly trusted."
"And the Wu family's reputation in Shicheng is quite great. In this city where the monks are only in their Qi training period and most of them are mortals, the Wu family, the richest family, has become the 'city lord'."
"But the Wu family's reputation has always been good, and they don't do any evil deeds of bullying men and women. They are more about restraining the family members. After all, they are quite popular among the residents of Shicheng."
These messages were all purchased at Tianji Pavilion.
Tianji Pavilion has always had a good reputation. You get what you pay for. If you have money, you are the boss. After giving a high-grade spiritual stone, the information is quite comprehensive.
After Feng Qingwu briefly talked about the situation of the Wu family, Wu Zhong, who was not far away, cleared his throat and said loudly again: "In three days, in the center of Shicheng, a competition will be held to recruit a bride!"
"The eldest young master of my Wu family, Wu Mingcheng, has now reached the marriageable age and plans to arrange a marriage through a martial arts competition to recruit a bride."
Hearing this, the hawker on the side said: "A martial arts competition to recruit a bride? Let's forget it. We don't have many women in Shicheng who are as good at wielding swords and guns as the eldest lady of the Wu family. This martial arts competition to recruit a bride might as well be changed."
But Wu Zhong shook his head: "Not a woman."
"Our eldest young master allows only men to participate in the martial arts competition ring, and in the entire Stone City, this ratio is much higher than that of women practicing martial arts, not to mention that there are powerful monks who can participate."
The powerful monks Wu Zhong refers to are the monks in the Qi training stage.
But Jiang Zicheng's focus was on the other side. He said silently: "His competition to recruit a bride, is he recruiting a boy or a girl..."
At this time, Wu Zhong naturally knew that some people did not understand, so he explained: "The winning man can choose a woman to marry into the Wu family, as long as the recommended woman's character and appearance are not defective, anything is fine!"
In short, it’s just a matter of competing for that spot.
The winner can get a good husband for his daughter or the daughter of a friend. Of course - Feng Qingwu probably just wants to make acquaintance with the strongest man in Shicheng because of the Wu family.
The so-called competition to recruit a bride is just to sell face.
Nine times out of ten, if the winner wants to recommend a man, the person who needs to be engaged can be changed to the eldest daughter of the Wu family on the spot.
After Wu Zhong announced the end, he left the street.
Soon, people were talking quietly on the street. Jiang Zicheng also stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister, what should we do?"
"Three days later, we will participate in the martial arts competition to recruit a bride."
Hearing this, Jiang Zicheng was shocked: "What?! Do you, Senior Sister, also have plans to get married? You can't just think about it!"
