Chapter 145: The old story of Shenhuo, the messenger of the gods
The scene in the city is quite similar to the cities in the southern region of Zhongzhou, but it also has many unique atmospheres of the southern wilderness.
Compared to the southern cities of Zhongzhou, this place is still full of a more barbaric atmosphere.
The transactions here do not involve silver coins, but barter for goods.
It can be all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it can be spiritual stones, it can be all kinds of exotic birds and animals, it can also be people.
"The King of Yan was defeated in the Southern Wilderness and did not go further south. He still chose the territory slightly closer to Zhongzhou... When we go further south, we will enter the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom."
Guigu Lingguan said: "Originally, there should be several powerful tribes around here, with a population of more than ten thousand, and strong men emerging in large numbers. However, not long ago, because of the Yanguan Mountain incident, it should be those few who were crushed by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
A tribe..."
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "There are more people in this city than in the past. I remember that there were not so many people decades ago."
After questioning, I found out that after decades of reproduction and reproduction, the city's population had already increased, and more importantly, because the Zhou Dynasty had flattened many tribes to show the power of Zhongzhou... After the tribes were destroyed, the remaining
The population was invested in this city.
But most of them were captured, used as slaves, and traded in the city.
"For some tribes with a small population, they can buy some slaves to drive back, and if they perform meritorious services in the future, they can also become members of their own tribe and expand the tribe's population..."
Guigu Lingguan said this and said: "Generally speaking, the price of slaves who have reached the realm of inner energy is not low!"
The wall-hanging bird couldn't help but ask: "How much silver? Can I buy a good-looking female bird?"
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "There is no silver here, most of them are exchanged for things. But if we continue forward, when we reach the territory of Dayan Kingdom, they have their own currency. Even outside their territory, some Southern Wilderness tribes have
It can be used... As for the beautiful mother bird, there are countless birds in the endless mountains of the southern wilderness!"
The Five Elements Creation Tree waved its branches and said: "There are naturally a lot of good-looking female birds, but you are the White Luan divine bird after all. You can't just find a mortal bird, you have to find a divine bird... In this way, you will come back in the future.
Only after arriving at the Yuhua Immortal Sect are you qualified to take your new wife to show off your power in front of the white bird in the back mountain. But this is not possible. The one who made the white bird in the back mountain give birth to seven nests of chicks will be asked to be taken back by you.
The divine bird has seven nests, what should we do?"
The wall-hanging bird was furious, and if it hadn't been in the city, it would have started another fight.
Dragon Girl looked around and saw nothing delicious. She thought that Zhongzhou had a wide variety of delicacies, so she couldn't help but feel uninterested.
On the other hand, Hao Jian, who came from the East China Sea, was quite interested in the customs and other aspects of the wild areas. He looked around and was extremely curious.
"A country turtle who has never seen the world... no, a sea turtle."
The bird and the tree looked at each other, and this evaluation came to their minds at the same time.
But in front, Li Zhengjing walked along the street and looked at the vendors on both sides. The style was different from Zhongzhou. The peddling and selling seemed more direct and rude. Almost everyone was stained with blood.
Born in the southern wasteland, if you want to survive, you have to go through fighting, starting with hunting.
"It's getting late. Let's rest for the night and set off tomorrow."
Guigu Lingguan said: "Since entering the Southern Wilderness, although there is not much danger for us, it is time to take a rest..."
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "It's even more dangerous at night in the Southern Wilderness! Many strange birds and animals, ghosts and ghosts are still used to hunting at night..."
Since entering the Southern Wilderness, I have been sleeping rough in the wilderness. It is not bad to find a place to rest in the city.
But besides resting, there was another reason why they entered the city.
"Senior Guigu came here in the early years and discovered that there was a divine fire in this tribe! Now a city has been built, with all parties coming and going, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons..."
Li Zhengjing whispered: "After entering the city, did Senior Guigu still sense the divine fire?"
Guigu Lingguan nodded slightly and said: "The divine fire is still there, and the people of this tribe have now become guards, vendors, shopkeepers, etc. in the city! In fact, when I came here, although a city was built here, it was basically
Just like the tribes in the past, they just turned the fence into a city wall. It seems that after more than two hundred years, this place has been increasingly influenced by Zhongzhou, and these deserters actually know how to do business..."
He looked into the depths of the city and continued: "The divine fire is still there, but it seems that there is a different person in charge."
This serious gang wandered around the city for a while, bartering, buying some things, and also getting news about the inner city.
This is still the original tribe.
The cities being built nowadays are divided into outer city and inner city.
The outer city is the boundary for transactions with outsiders and also provides a place for practitioners to stay.
Outsiders are not allowed to set foot in the inner city, and only tribal members can enter and exit freely.
"The divine fire is in the inner city."
Guigu Lingguan's ears twitched slightly and he said: "The original tribal leader has now been called the City Lord... and the City Lord's Mansion is in the middle of the inner city."
"Shall we break in?"
Yuan Zhengfeng asked.
Hearing this, Li Zhengjing shook his head and said: "No, we are serious people and we must have a reputation as a teacher. It is no better than before. I, Zhengjing Xianzun, want to have face. If I behave inappropriately here, the news will be reported back to Zhongzhou."
...In the future, the name of Zhongzhou Sanxian Patriarch will be easily criticized."
Yuan Zhengfeng remained silent.
Guigu Lingguan said: "If teachers are famous, there are really two names..."
Li Zhengjing's eyes lit up and he said, "Two?"
Guigu Lingguan raised his paw and said: "When I slaughtered the dragon, it attracted surrounding tribes to besiege, because the dragon was their patron saint! But those tribes were crippled by me, and the tribes in this city took the opportunity to plunder them.
Small population."
"To put it more broadly, the tribe this city belongs to uses this to grow and increase its population, so it owes me a favor!"
"To put it another way, they took in the people who besieged me in the first place, that is, the enemies who protected me. Now I want to come and kill them all to launch an attack, which is justifiable!"
Guigu Lingguan said this, looked at the wall-hanging bird, and said: "You claim to be knowledgeable and rich, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
The wall-hanging bird shook its head like a rattle and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it, my uncle is right!"
The Five Elements Creation Tree did not dare to hesitate at all, and said quickly: "Master Guigu is right."
Hao Jian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "I think what Mr. Guigu said couldn't be more correct."
Broken Wave Gu shook its tentacles and made a sound: "Turn over! Turn over!"
Li Zhengjing looked strange and said hesitantly: "Senior Guigu makes some sense, but there shouldn't be much... Where is the second one?"
Guigu Lingguan thought for a while and continued: "The sacred fire of the tribe in this city is in the hands of a young man, so the original tribal leader should be the previous city lord!"
He touched his chin and said: "I have healed many people in the second half of my life, and the last leader of the tribe in this city was the first three people I saved after being influenced by the heart of the tree god and awakening my conscience.
So it’s very impressive.”
Li Zhengjing's eyes lit up and he said, "The previous leader promised to give you a sacred fire seed?"
Guigu Lingguan shook his head slightly and said: "No, after he was rescued by me, he left directly, saying that he never wanted to see me again..."
The wall-hanging bird suddenly shouted: "You are ungrateful. The army has gained a reputation. Let's break into the inner city!"
Yuan Zhengfeng vaguely felt that something was wrong and whispered: "Why would he say such things to your savior?"
Guigu Lingguan thought for a while and said: "He seems to have been crippled by me. I originally wanted to kill him, but later I was influenced by the heart of the tree god and my conscience was still intact, so I revived him..."
"this……"
Li Zhengjing looked strange.
But at this moment, Yuan Zhengfeng whispered: "Didn't you say that he was the third person you saved after awakening your conscience? How come the doctors were kind and saved two people before, so why did you cripple him again here?"
"It's not the third person, it's the first three! Because the first two are also him."
Guigu Lingguan said: "At that time, my temperament was unstable. Sometimes I was fierce, sometimes I was kind. I maimed him three times and revived him three times... In total, I saved three people."
"You old man, do you call this life-saving grace?"
Li Zhengjing sighed and rubbed his eyebrows.
He has always felt that among this serious gang, apart from himself, Guigu Lingguan is the most stable and kind-hearted, followed by Yuan Zhengfeng.
But now it seems that Guigu Lingguan is the most dishonest one.
How much trouble did this old man cause in Southern Wasteland back then?
The atmosphere in the field was quite silent. Whether it was the wall-hanging bird, the Five Elements Tree of Creation, or even the ignorant Duanlang Gu, they all fell into silence.
Hao Jian felt chills all over, trembling vaguely, and did not dare to express any further opinions... In the past, he always felt that Guigu Lingguan was the ugliest-looking among the serious gangs, but the most kind and kind old man. He was really ugly and kind-hearted.
.
But I never thought that compared to his old man’s methods, Master Bird and Master Tree were just like young children!
Only Dragon Girl's eyes were full of admiration. Although she didn't speak, her eyes were full of the meaning of "You are really good at playing, I have learned it"!
"There is such an old incident in the past. If we bring it up, it will not be a life-saving grace, but a life-or-death feud..." Yuan Zhengfeng said hesitantly.
"But didn't he die later?" Guigu Lingguan flashed his paws and said: "This guy would rather die than surrender. He is a man. No matter when he was maimed or when he was being treated, he suppressed his words and remained silent.
I guess he has a resolute character and will not tell the truth to his tribe! But the scars on his body were stitched by my unique technique and are all over his body..."
"As long as you show off your medical skills, people will recognize you?" Li Zhengjing's eyes lit up and he said, "But after more than two hundred years, future generations may not recognize you?"
"Then let's give it a try." Guigu Lingguan said.
"Who should I try?" said the wall-hanging bird: "My master is full of vitality. If you cut him with a knife, you don't have to wait for stitches. He will be healed before you even take out your needle and thread."
"..."
Then everyone's eyes turned to Hao Jian beside them.
"..."
Hao Jian looked pale and waved his hands quickly, saying: "No... I can't..."
At this moment, a figure gradually came up from behind everyone.
As the man approached, the surrounding pedestrians retreated one after another, and the vendors on both sides also showed frightened expressions.
The man looked old and moved slowly, but with every step he took, he scared away the people in the city.
Apparently he is in the city and has a prominent reputation!
"A pillow comes from sleepiness? An idiot comes from trying a knife?"
The wall-hanging bird was startled for a moment, and quickly lowered his voice and said: "Master, uncle, Hao Jian, you should quickly use the breath-condensing and longevity-extending methods you have recently practiced to suppress the energy. Don't scare me away..."
"God King Gu!"
The old man's eyes fell on Duanlang Gu and said slowly: "Unrefined God King Gu is really rare in the world..."
Gu insects at the level of God King Gu are like fairy treasures to Gu Dao practitioners.
If you can cultivate this life Gu, your own cultivation will be improved, and you will have a bright future.
He didn't expect that the young God King Gu in front of him was actually an unrefined Gu insect, which saved him a lot of time!
He looked at the people in front of him and said slowly: "Nothing happened to the God King Gu in the Southern Wilderness. The only one who had a change was Xin Xuan who went to Zhongzhou... You all came from the direction of Zhongzhou and got the God King Gu larvae.
I think he is the one who killed Xin Xuan."
His eyes glanced back and forth between Hao Jian and Li Zhengjing, and said: "I heard that the person who killed Xin Xuan was an inner disciple of the Yuhua Xian Sect. It turned out that he was already a practitioner of the true energy realm. The rumors are still wrong...
"
The atmosphere in the venue was silent for a moment.
Li Zhengjing frowned and said, "You can know the news about Zhongzhou!"
The old man stood with his hands behind his hands and said: "Zhongzhou is not isolated from the Southern Wilderness. Is there any news that I don't know? I have poisonous insects all over the world. They listen to the wind and grass, and they are the most well-informed..."
"Lie to Kangxi"
"..."
Li Zhengjing paused and then said, "Don't you know the news in recent days?"
The old man frowned and said: "What news? I have been in seclusion for two months, and when I came out, the stars came to the world... What news has been heard recently, and what does it have to do with me?"
"Originally it didn't matter, but now it matters to life."
Li Zhengjing pulled out the dragon-patterned evil-suppressing sword and said with a smile: "I cut Xin Xuan down, and I was in the realm of inner energy at that time..."
"How dare you draw your sword in front of me?"
The old man put his hands behind his back and said: "Do you think I am a waste like Xin Xuan? A few months ago, you were in the realm of inner energy. Today, you are considered a genius and have set foot in the realm of inner energy, but in my eyes, you are nothing more than an ant.
Something like that..."
Li Zhengjing thought for a while and asked: "Is there a possibility that I currently have the power of a human-immortal?"
The old man laughed loudly and said: "I am nearly a hundred years old, and I have not yet reached an extraordinary state. I have never heard of someone achieving the state of an immortal in one year! You really think that I have never seen the world.
Are you bragging?"
Before he stopped laughing, he felt something was strange. Upon closer inspection... the eyes of the group of guys in front of him, without exception, were full of compassion.
Then he saw a bolt of thunder suddenly rise!
Then he felt severe pain all over his body and flew up into the air. His vision went dark, and in his ears he could only hear the young man shouting anxiously: "Help...save people quickly..."
"He is so anxious and concerned. Could it be that he didn't chop me just now?"
The old man was a little confused, and then he felt severe pain. He lowered his head and saw that the knife wound almost cut him into two pieces. He couldn't help but turned pale with fright, and said to himself: "With this injury, how can I be saved? I'm dead..."
