Duanxiong City was a city by the sea in the former Nanping Kingdom. Now it belongs to Daqian and has become one of the fifty-nine large cities.
Its city walls are towering and completely white, reflecting the sunlight and making them look particularly dazzling.
This is a contemporary specialty white salt stone. In addition to being hard, the stone itself has a salty taste. People nearby would take it home and use it as salt, but that was in the past.
After the establishment of Daqian, the salt problem was solved long ago. The prefect took office, which brought order to the city and all industries prospered.
Duanxiong City has an extremely wide avenue before and after the city gate, which leads all the way into the city. On the avenue, groups of mortals are either pushing carts or riding donkeys and pouring into the city.
Outside the city, some people gradually appeared.
There were six of them, all dressed in black, and carrying a huge knife box on their backs.
It's just that their expressions are not right at the moment. Their ambition to establish a sect in the future was suddenly stalled after arriving in this city.
It's not that the city is huge or that there are many mortals, but these people.
A slender man in black pointed at something next to the mortal who entered the city and said in surprise: "Brother, is that a spirit?"
Next to these mortals, there could be as few as one, as many as three or four, accompanied by a group of upright shrimp and crab spirits, carrying large and small bags on their pincers, as if to help reduce the burden on the mortals.
The tall man in black was also a little confused. He looked at it for a long time before he said uncertainly: "Really?"
The slender black man swallowed, moved his fingers again, and said, "Are these mortals?"
The tall man in black pursed his lips and said, "Probably...?"
Not only are they mortals, but they are also remnants. They are everywhere in the world, so it’s not surprising.
They didn’t know the spirits, and they had never seen shrimps and crabs turn into spirits, but they must be in the water.
But when spirits and mortals are paired together, and these spirits are used like servants and pets, then they don't recognize them.
This combination looks weird, like a tiger becoming a pet and a rabbit becoming its master.
What's going on in this world?
"Ask!"
The tall man in black said something and shouted to a mortal in front of him: "That mortal, stop!"
The mortal in front was dressed as a farmer, with two shrimp soldiers and a crab general beside him. The two shrimp soldiers were carrying fruits and vegetables, and the crab general was carrying a big bag. As the mortal turned around, the shrimp soldiers and crab general also turned around. As a result, the big bag spilled some rice.
"Looking for me?" The mortal was stunned, "I don't know you?"
"Nonsense, I know you, why should I do anything to you?"
The tall man in black walked over, made a seal with his hand, and a slender blade the size of a palm flew out from the knife box behind him.
"Bah!"
He drank first, then glanced at the two shrimp soldiers, and his voice suddenly became three points weaker.
"you"
He glanced at the crab general again, his voice became weaker and became softer.
"Is your god here? I'm here to visit."
Several people at the back looked puzzled. One of them raised his eyebrows and showed impatience. He took three steps and two steps forward and was about to speak. However, as soon as he got closer, his face froze there. He didn't dare to say anything. Watching there.
Nothing else, just because this monster is a bit scary.
The two shrimp soldiers were fine, but the crab soldiers seemed more extraordinary the closer they got. The crab shells shone like armor, and the energy and blood surged even more.
This thing is stronger than them!
How can a mortal associate with such spirits?
The mortal looked at the slender blade in the hand of the tall man in black and was stunned, "God? We don't have gods here. If you want to find gods, you have to go to Qiandu, there are them there."
"There are no gods in this city?"
The tall man in black was stunned and glanced at the city. The city was tall and crowded with people. It was obviously a city where mortals gathered.
Such a big city, no matter where it is, should be a battleground for monks like them. If it were somewhere else, he would ask if there was a mountain gate nearby, but the soundless gate itself was practiced in the city.
"Yes, there are no gods. Are you a god? Which sect?" The mortal looked them up and down and asked.
Yo ho? !
These words made him even more stunned. He took a closer look at this mortal. His whole body was lifeless, there was no breath of Dharma, he was not strong, and his body was not complete. He was indeed a remnant.
Will the soundless and silent door tell sects to mortals?
"What's wrong with you, a mortal, that you dare to ask us, you..."
The few junior brothers behind came over with sullen expressions, but as soon as they walked up to the mortal, their tone of voice changed.
"That's a good question. We are from the Blood Knife Hall."
They are not stupid, they can see that the spirit is extraordinary.
And the streets are full of monsters like this
"Blood Knife Hall?"
The mortal shook his head, "You have never heard of it. If you are looking for gods, don't look for me. Now, enter the city and go north. The largest building is our prefect's mansion. You go to the prefect. He should know."
"Hey, okay. Let me ask you, how did you get this thing?"
The tall man in black still couldn't hold back his doubts and pointed at the spirits and asked.
"Are you from outside? You just came to work with me? These are my family members. The blue and white shrimp is called Xiaoqing, the red shrimp is called Xiaohong, and the black crab is called Dawu. I bought them all!"
The mortal's eyes lit up, as if the conversation had reached his heart, and his originally a little lack of interest immediately became energetic.
"These three are amazing. You are gods and you should be able to tell. They are extremely powerful and invulnerable. Although they are not good at work, they are very good at striking. We are close to the sea. We can eat any seafood on weekdays. They cost me dozens of taels."
"Especially this Dawu. It's much more expensive than Xiaohong and Xiaoqing, but it's also our facade. I bought it after working for nothing for half a year. Look at the appearance of this, look at these pliers, how majestic they are. I heard The spirits live longer than us. Can you tell that you are a god? I can pass it on to my son."
The mortal was beaming and talked for a long time, which made people's heads spin. He didn't stop until he got interested and licked his lips. He waved and said, "Okay, I'm going to the city to sell vegetables. You can go and have a look." "
Seeing the mortal move forward, several people looked at each other, even a little confused in their eyes.
Are these untouchable monsters all over the street bought?
When did the audio and silent doors become so arrogant?
Where did you get these monsters and sell them to mortals?
and
"Isn't this Nanping Country? Senior Brother?" asked a man in black.
"How could I know where to go?" The tall man in black glanced at him and took a deep breath, "Anyway, this place is very weird. Please be careful."
He should have been happy that there were no gods in the city, because it meant that this was an unclaimed land and they could just take over it and establish a sect.
But these inexplicable spirits made people's scalp numb, and when the mortals heard their identities, they didn't feel awe, but seemed to have met some fellow villagers.
It's too weird.
If they hadn't gone through so much trouble to cross the sea, they would all want to leave at this moment.
This sea is difficult to cross. There are too many monsters in the sea. They are lucky to be able to come here. It may not be so smooth if they go back.
Besides, isn't the reason for crossing the sea just to be that childish?
No matter what, they were going to investigate.
The tall man in black adjusted his clothes, walked forward, and soon came to the city gate. As soon as he reached the city gate, he suddenly felt a little hot, and he couldn't help but scream.
He looked up at the sky. The sun in the sky was not strong, and it was not hot at this time of year. But why was there a burning sensation?
Before he could explore further, a voice sounded.
"What are you doing? You need to register."
Just inside the city gate, a clerk dressed as a scribe was sitting there, questioning these people.
