This is the first big city north of Laizhou, far opposite Bolang City in Dingzhou.
In order to avoid unnecessary disputes due to various misunderstandings.
The two cities agreed that no villages or towns should be built in the area between the two cities.
A post station can be built approximately every fifty miles to serve as a foothold for convenient travel.
It has been three days since Zhang Ke left Bolang City. Apart from the caravans he saw coming and going at the inn, he has not met anyone else.
April 29th.
at dusk.
Zhang Ke stood on a low hill and looked at Chiba City from a distance.
The sky is getting dark, and thousands of lights are on in Chiba City. Under the orange lights, the whole Chiba City looks very warm and peaceful.
The location where he was standing was about two miles away from Chiba City.
Any further away would be beyond the range of the spiritual probe, and the feedback signal would be as blurry as myopia.
So now he uses perception in coordination with the spiritual probe, which can expand the range of his spiritual probe.
But in the eyes of practitioners, the distance of one thousand meters is actually not that far.
And the way he stood on the low hill and observed seemed a bit suspicious in the eyes of the practitioners at the top of the city.
Zhang Ke looked left and right all the way to the city gate. At this time, due to the weather, the city gate was basically semi-closed.
Only a gap is left for pedestrians to enter and exit.
When we got closer, we realized how extraordinary this Chiba Castle was.
The whole city is made of granite and is six feet high. What is strange is that the entire city wall is not a straight wall defense like Bolang City, but has a wavy shape.
On the city tower, the sentry soldiers stood like nails, with three steps and one sentry and five steps and one sentry. The defense was tight.
At this time, above the city gate, there were six runic lamps emitting pale white light, staggered without a single blind spot, illuminating the city gate like daylight.
Eight soldiers guarded both sides of the city gate, conducting simple checks on people entering and exiting. Two practitioners in splendid attire watched from the side.
Seeing Zhang Ke coming, a cultivator at the city gate came over.
He bowed his hands and saluted: "I am Zuo Chengxi of Biyun Valley. I wonder where my friend is from?"
Zhang Ke stepped forward and saluted: "Zhang Ke, a poor Taoist from Dingzhou Xiantian Yiqi Sect, has met fellow Taoist and passed by the local area, but he has caused trouble for fellow Taoist!"
After saying that, he casually handed the sect identity token from his waist to Zuo Chengxi.
Zuo Chengxi just found Zhang Ke snooping from a distance, so he came over to ask.
After carefully checking the identity token and confirming that it was him, he returned it to Zhang Ke.
He opened his mouth and said: "I'm a little rude. Fellow Daoist Zhang, please come in. If you encounter trouble in the city, you can come to me at any time!"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly, left and entered the city.
Another practitioner came to Zuo Chengxi and asked: "Brother, that fellow Taoist is rare. He is actually blind. I don't know how he has cultivated to this point."
Zuo Chengxi nodded: "The more such a person is, the more he cannot be underestimated!"
The junior brother asked: "Will the Taoist have any problems?"
Zuo Chengxi shook his head and said: "Probably not. Since he is a disciple of the sect and has lost his whereabouts, he may be passing through the local area."
The two senior brothers chatted casually.
Zhang Ke entered the city and found that compared to Bolang City, the city had no concessions and occupied a vast area.
It is roughly estimated that there are no less than millions of people in the city, and the whole city is extremely prosperous.
Although it was already dark at this time, the streets were brightly lit, crowded with people, and vendors were everywhere.
The sounds of hawking, laughter, and noise were so noisy that the whole city looked like a city that never sleeps.
I found an inn to stay at, and after washing up, I walked out of the attic.
When I came to the outside of the attic, I crossed my arms and admired the bustling scene in the city.
Unconsciously, I think of an ancient poem: "The gold-sold little umbrella raises the high standard, the river borrows green plums to carry the load, the peaceful scenery is still there, and the flute blows through the street."
I secretly admired: This feeling and scene should be accompanied by fine wine.
"Buzz~!"
Suddenly I felt a disturbance of vitality in the distance.
As soon as I looked around, I saw a fire suddenly ignited somewhere in the city, and strong winds encouraged it, spreading in all directions, and making loud noises and cries.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ke transformed into a falcon and flew away through the air.
It only took a few dozen seconds to reach the scene of the fire, and when I landed, I transformed back into my human body.
The fire is still spreading in all directions, and many houses and buildings have been completely ignited, making a "cracking" burning sound.
There were many practitioners coming from all over, and they were working together with the fire dragon team in the city to rescue the people in the fire scene.
Several city guard officials in uniform uniforms hurried over, all disheveled.
Obviously, the incident happened suddenly and there was no preparation. After arriving at the fire scene, he immediately took over the scene and commanded the surrounding people to evacuate the scene at the top of his lungs.
Some guards ran to the front of the fire and blocked the source of the fire, causing chaos all around.
"Huh~!"
Zuo Chengxi rushed out of a burning house with a child in his arms. Although he was protected by magic, his robes and hair were all burning with flames.
He handed the child into the hands of a woman who was already crying and about to faint, and said sadly: "The old lady didn't save her, you take care of the child first."
After saying that, he was about to rush into other houses in the fire scene to rescue, when he suddenly heard someone next to him say: "Friend Zuo! Pindao has a suggestion, I wonder if you can listen to it!"
My heart was shocked, I turned around and saw the blind Taoist priest from Dingzhou I had seen not long ago standing not far from me.
He narrowed his eyes and thought a thousand times in his mind: Why is it such a coincidence? Could it be.
Thinking in his mind, he walked towards Zhang Ke and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, please speak?"
"I don't know if I have a magical power. I can check which rooms there are still living people in."
Zuo Chengxi was overjoyed. He put aside his other thoughts and said hurriedly: "Please quickly cast the spell!"
Zhang Ke's senses suddenly spread in all directions, and he pointed: "The house with the white roof, there is one person in the room, and there are two people in the short flat house on the left."
Zuo Chengxi quickly called several junior brothers and followed Zhang Ke's instructions to rescue people.
Soon, dozens of people were rescued from the fire.
There is no need to search one by one, which greatly increases the efficiency. Moreover, in several remote corners of the house, the rescue may have been delayed and neglected, but at this time, timely rescue was received and many people were saved.
“The one with the red paint on the door”
Zhang Ke paused and continued: "There is no need to go to that house, there are people trapped in the outermost houses of the connected houses."
After speaking, he remained silent for a moment and said, "No one else is alive."
Zuo Chengxi punched his right hand into the palm of his left hand and said bitterly: "Damn it!"
He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhang Ke, doubts welling up in his heart again.
Zhang Ke smiled bitterly, and without further explanation, he said, "I have a way to extinguish this fire, but I don't know if it's suitable!"
Zuo Chengxi understood what Zhang Ke meant. He was a somewhat suspicious person. If he came to the fire scene and cast spells rashly, he might cause trouble.
After pondering for a while, he said decisively: "Fellow Taoist, just do it! If anything happens, I will take care of it!"
