Yun Tianfeng and his party worked hard, and finally discovered the movement of the convoy again at dusk that day. Although they were still worried about Wang Xiaoliu, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
The biggest fear is to be completely lost.
"Little madman, we found a city ahead, and all the traces are heading that way."
The space portal opened, and the twin-tailed head came out of it.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Jiang." Yun Tianfeng said with a smile.
Jiang Chuyao shook her head, her two pigtails swaying left and right: "I'm sorry, I want to master Youdie's ability as early as possible through continuous familiarity, and I am just a spy for you. Besides, we are the ones looking for Wang Xiaoliu." Something that everyone does together.”
Yun Tianfeng just smiled, it was not easy to answer this question.
Although it is difficult to guess the thoughts of girls, it is too obvious for Jiang Chuyao. Her diligence only appeared after Murong Yu smashed half the mountain with one sword. Even a fool can see that she does not want to be compared with Murong Yu. .
Yun Tianfeng understood in his heart that Jiang Chuyao's strength was in body skills, which Murong Yu could not compare to. Murong Yu was stronger than Jiang Chuyao in [Glaze Hegemony], and it was not suitable to make analogies between the two. Who is strong and who is weak.
But I know that Yun Tianfeng will not say these words. It is rare that Jiang Chuyao practices seriously and is happy to see the results.
"It's strange, why is there a city here?"
While everyone was running towards the distant city, Yun Mingxue frowned and whispered to herself.
"Miss Yun?" Wang Quan leaned closer and had good ears, and looked over with some doubts.
Yun Mingxue held the reins tightly with one hand, tilted her head and explained to everyone: "I said before that I was born in the Yunshuai Mansion. With such a family background, I have been required to read various geography books of the Yunxia Dynasty since I was a child. I can draw the map of the Yunxia Dynasty silently with my eyes closed, but no matter how much I think about it, I can't remember that there is such a city thousands of miles away from the royal capital."
"Is this the hometown of the Shanhe Gang?" Murong Yu thought thoughtfully.
Yun Tianfeng looked far ahead at the dark ancient city in the sunset and said: "Look carefully, the walls of this city are very old, including the building materials and the overall frame style of the city, which are similar to the contemporary cities of the Yunxia Dynasty that we encountered along the way. It’s different, it has the atmosphere of time, and it’s not newly built. As for whether it’s the hometown of the Shanhe Gang, we’ll know later when we enter the city more carefully.”
As it gets closer, the sky becomes darker and darker, as if the sun has also hidden itself, avoiding this place from afar.
"It's strange, please look at the ground." Jiang Chuyao suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone was confused, but they quickly reacted.
On the way here, there was wind and snow everywhere, but after approaching this ancient city, there seemed to be an invisible dividing point that isolated the wind and snow, causing an obvious dividing line to appear about five or six miles outside the city. The boundary line is filled with dry soil, and not a single snowflake can be seen.
As the cold wind at night blew gently, Jiang Chuyao shivered again, shrank her shoulders, and said nervously: "There may be something weird in this city. I feel eerie even from such a distance. There is a saying Unexplained fear breeds in my heart.”
When everyone heard this, their expressions became much more solemn.
Murong Yu said: "I just feel a little uneasy, I don't know the reason."
Wang Quan and Yun Mingxue were similar, except they felt cold, a strange cold, not in the body, but in the soul.
"There are no soldiers guarding the city wall. The city gate is wide open and there are no sentries. There is only a stone tablet standing outside the city gate. Let's go take a look." Yun Tianfeng reminded everyone to be more alert and took the lead in getting off his horse and walking towards the stone tablet.
The stele is carved from an unknown stone. The entire panel seems to have been carved with a strange ferocious beast. Yun Tianfeng wants to distinguish it in detail, but many places on it have been severely worn and cannot be seen clearly. Some of the text on it is still clearly legible.
"What character is this? It's not the character of the Yunxia Dynasty, nor is it the common character of Yuzhou." Yun Mingxue raised her snow-white neck slightly, and became even more confused after scanning the stone tablet.
Compared with Yun Mingxue, Wang Quan, Murong Yu and Jiang Chuyao were much inferior in terms of literacy, and naturally they didn't know each other.
"It's a very ancient writing that my master taught me when I was in Kunlun. I forgot the specific era." Yun Tianfeng thought the font was familiar at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally remembered it.
"What did it say?" Everyone looked at Yun Tianfeng curiously.
"These are the instructions for entering the city." Yun Tianfeng's expression became more solemn after he read the words.
The carvings on the stone tablet are obviously city rules for outsiders to see, but the content is confusing and seems to be a bit sacred.
"First, after entering the city, you are not allowed to light the lights at night, and you must bury your head in the quilt before falling asleep every day, and you are not allowed to show up until dawn."
"Second, it is forbidden to mention any topics related to dogs in the city, including wolves. If you encounter a dog or wolf in the city, you must stand still and wait for them to leave. Otherwise, it will be regarded as disrespectful and may be expelled from the city. If it's serious, it will be punished by Heaven's punishment."
"Third, there are only one inn in the east and one in the west of the city. Once outsiders enter the city, they must directly enter the nearest inn. Check-in is free. They are not allowed to leave the inn or communicate with any locals."
"Fourth, regardless of whether residents of the city or outsiders, if a death occurs in the city, they are never allowed to be buried. They must be burned to ashes immediately, and the ashes must be taken out of the city and thrown as far away as possible."
"Fifth, outsiders are not allowed to stay in the city for more than twelve hours, otherwise they will bear the consequences."
There were only five items in total. Everyone took note of them after reading them once, but more doubts arose deep in their hearts.
"This city is very weird, but we have no choice now. After entering the city, we should try our best to abide by the rules and avoid unnecessary complications. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning to rescue Wang Xiaoliu." Wang Quan, the eldest, reminded everyone.
Passing through the ancient and huge city gate covered with cobwebs is the main road in the city. The ground is paved with black stone bricks. All the surrounding buildings seem to be made of the same kind of material. They are so pitch black that it is easy to be confused at first glance. People feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Chuyao no longer dared to continue traveling through the subspace. She and Murong Yu linked arms with each other and followed Yun Tianfeng closely.
"You can't see a single person, and the whole city is so quiet that you can hear a pin drop." Wang Quan muttered.
Jiang Chuyao and Murong Yu became even more nervous.
Yun Mingxue pretended to be calm and narrowed her eyes slightly. Even now, she is still struggling. This city is obviously located in the Yunxia Dynasty, so why is there no record?
"There is a building in front that looks a little tall. There is a sign hanging outside the window on the third floor. It should be the inn in Xicheng District. Let's go there quickly."
The three women, who were already nervous, quickened their steps instantly. Yun Tianfeng and Wang Quan were not far behind, and soon they arrived downstairs at the inn.
The door of the inn was open, and it was pitch dark inside. Even the warrior's vision could only be blurred.
"No guests, no shopkeeper, just a key rack."
The key rack at the entrance counter is full of keys. Under each key is a nameplate with the room number, floor and room specifications.
"Do we really want to stay here tonight?" Jiang Chuyao asked angrily.
"I'm afraid we can't help it." Yun Tianfeng smiled bitterly, took off the two connected keys and turned to look in the direction of the street.
When everyone turned around, they discovered that the door of the inn had been closed at some point. There was no sound during this period, and even the advanced level of these people did not notice it at all.
"As long as you come, you'll be in peace." Yun Tianfeng comforted everyone. Although this place is gloomy, it is nothing compared to the sealed demon caves in Kunlun Mountain.
The rooms are on the second floor and are connected. The beds are very spacious, and it is only slightly crowded for three or four people to sleep on the same bed.
Yun Tianfeng took out several sets of quilts from the storage ring and handed them to Yun Mingxue: "Miss Yun, you can't be careless when you go out. Since the city's rules require you to bury your head in the quilt to sleep, we should use our own peace of mind. These are all It has never been used since I bought it. You three girls will sleep in one room, and Brother Wang Quan and I will sleep next door. If you need anything, just call me."
"You should also be careful." Yun Mingxue took the quilt and watched Yun Tianfeng and Wang Quan leave the room and close the door. Then she hurriedly spread the quilt and the three women got in. If Someone in the room will definitely notice that the quilt is shaking.
Next door, Yun Tianfeng and Wang Quan also lay down one after another. The two of them were back to back with a slight distance between them. Their heads were buried in the quilt, but the quilt left a large gap for ventilation. They didn't take off their shoes, and they were holding on Wearing weapons, they said they were sleeping, but in fact no one closed their eyes and did not dare to really sleep.
"When I first saw the rules for entering the city, I thought it was a hoax, but when I entered the city, I felt relieved. I have never seen such a weird city in my whole life." In the quiet room, under the quilt The sound of Wang Quan's urn was heard.
"Yes, it's a very strange city." Yun Tianfeng muttered, recalling every detail in his heart.
Yun Tianfeng asked himself, if it were not for the weirdness after entering the city, I am afraid that no practitioner or warrior would take the rules seriously. It was the scene in the city that made them subconsciously follow the rules in the city. This is Right or wrong?
Under normal circumstances, in a quiet environment, if some inexplicable noises appear, most people will feel frightened.
But here, the too quiet night makes people even more nervous. This kind of quiet is not quiet in the conventional sense.
You can't hear the wind, you can't hear any other movements, you can't hear footsteps when walking in the city, and even if you don't speak, even two people on the same bed can't hear each other's breathing.
"No matter what, stay vigilant and leave as soon as dawn. I feel very bad here. I always feel uneasy." After midnight, Yun Tianfeng's mentality also changed.
He couldn't explain why, but after Zishi, the innate intuition of a practitioner filled him with uneasiness.
