"Before I answer your question, little brother, do you remember whether you experienced any abnormalities before you came here?" With a smile, Gu Yue turned to look at Nie Feng and asked, obviously he knew it well.
We know that some kind of abnormal event must have occurred before Nie Feng and Huo Ling came in, otherwise they would not have been able to come to this place.
"Brother Gu Yue, please call me Nie Feng." After hearing Gu Yue's name, Nie Feng frowned slightly and continued: "It is indeed as Brother Gu Yue said, this young lady and I were both
After being knocked unconscious by a burst of red light, I woke up and passed a hall made entirely of bluestone, and found myself here."
"Sure enough." After sighing, Gu Yue continued in a tone that had been expected: "Actually, you are not the first batch of outsiders. Many outsiders were inexplicably trapped like you."
Breathed in, this kind of thing happens many times every year."
"Breathe it in?" Noticing the weirdness of Gu Yue's choice of words, Huo Ling's eyes narrowed and he spoke in an indifferent voice. However, there was no hint of nervousness in his voice. After all, this statement was still too scary.
After being sucked in, Huo Ling even wondered if he was in the belly of some ferocious beast. You must know that in the continent of gods and demons, although it is very rare that the belly of a monster beast can form a world of its own, it is not non-existent.
The most famous one is the ancient monster 'Whale Breath'.
Seeing that Huo Ling actually saw through the mystery in her words, Gu Yue couldn't help but pay more attention to this graceful woman. Although at this glance, Gu Yue saw the graceful look of Huo Ling's pretty face through the slightly transparent veil.
The curve of the curve makes my heart a little shocked.
"Cough~~"
After a slight cough attracted Gu Yue's attention, Gu Yue realized that she had lost her composure just now. After smiling, Gu Yue continued: "Yes, it was 'sucked' in. Maybe you can't believe it.
The place you are here is actually a space within a giant tower, and this is the first floor of the giant tower."
"Giant tower? You said we are in a tower?" Seeing the huge Black Weir City and the vast plain before entering the city just now, Nie Feng and Huo Ling looked at each other in shock, let alone believe what Gu Yue said at this time
words.
"This is indeed true. The space inside this tower is astonishingly huge. In fact, in addition to Heiyan City, there are two cities of comparable strength on the first floor. The city lords of the three cities jointly manage
The vast land of this first-story tower.”
Seeing that Gu Yue didn't look like she was lying, and in fact Gu Yue had no reason to lie, Nie Feng took a breath again. He could build three towers inside a huge city for people to live in. If what Gu Yue said was true,
Then this huge tower must have been compressed into a huge space. Thinking of this, Nie Feng carefully said: "Brother Gu Yue, do you know the name of this tower and how many floors it has?"
"The name of this tower is not a secret to those of us who live in the giant tower. It is almost universally known to everyone. It is called the 'Demon Burning and Refining Tower'. As for how many floors the tower has, I cannot answer.
You, because I myself don’t know, this tower is too huge. Some people once speculated that this tower leads directly to the heart of the earth, but no one knows whether it is true or not. After all, it is possible to build such a thing.
How can we guess the gods?" After sighing, Gu Yue shook her head.
"Mr. Gu Yue, you just said that many people are sucked into this demon-burning and demon-refining tower every year?" Huo Ling's eyes narrowed and he asked Gu Yue, "What happened to them after they came in?"
Did it?"
"What else can we do?" With a wry smile, Gu Yue continued: "This place is a world of its own, and no one knows how to leave. Therefore, after most outsiders come in, they either rely on their own strength to get to the next floor.
Find a way to leave, or find some forces in the tower to settle down and live here. After all, this is a world of its own, and it is not difficult to survive."
"So, it seems that Mr. Gu Yue is somewhat involved with the outside world, right?" Huo Ling suddenly said after listening to Gu Yue's words.
"Indeed, what this young lady said is correct. Gu Yue's ancestors were indeed sucked in from the outside world. After trying all kinds of methods but unable to leave, their ancestors established their foundation here."
For Huo Ling to be able to infer that his life experience was related to outsiders from a few words, Gu Yue couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. He actually hadn't seen through Huo Ling until now, because no matter how he felt, Huo Ling's cultivation seemed to be the same.
Wandering between the first level of body tempering, Gu Yue always felt that Huo Ling was not that simple.
"I care more about that woman than the man who used poisonous fire."
Recalling the words of the woman in the inn, Gu Yue finally understood that the woman had already seen Huo Ling's extraordinary qualities, but she had only now really looked at Huo Ling. It is imaginable that the gap was huge. But thinking of the woman's
Gu Yue was relieved of her identity. Of course, a trace of jealousy would inevitably arise. After all, the relationship between the two was not very harmonious.
"By the way, Brother Gu Yue, we just killed the commander of the city guard on the street, but there didn't seem to be any trouble as expected? What on earth is going on?" He had recovered slightly from the shock of the blow in the place where he was.
Nie Feng asked another question. The authenticity of the Demon Burning Demon Refining Tower needs to be investigated, but this is a more urgent question. He has provoked the military of Black Yan City. Nie Feng needs to deal with this matter.
Make an assessment of the seriousness of the rape.
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
Compared to Nie Feng's concern, Gu Yue seemed to be very relaxed and said: "The so-called city guards of Heiyan City are actually just an order issued by the Lord of Heiyan City. As long as their cultivation reaches the fifth level of body tempering
If you have more than ten subordinates who have reached the body tempering realm, you can apply to the Lord of Heiyan City to become the Heiyan City Guards. There are twelve places to become the commanders of the city guards, and there are three commanders for each city gate."
"After applying to become city guards, they will help the Lord of Heiyan City collect the taxes entering the city at the four major city gates, and then turn them over every month. However, these city guards are not fixed. As long as they have the strength, they can be defeated.
If you come down and have enough qualifications, you can immediately become the new commander of the city guard. Therefore, the battle for the commander of the city guard is staged every day. Of course, these so-called city guards collect gate taxes, etc.
The person responsible for the trivial affairs is clearly just a handyman with an official status in Heiyan City."
After listening to Gu Yue's narration, Nie Feng and Huo Ling finally understood what the so-called Black Weir City Guards were.
To put it clearly, these so-called city guards are some private thugs officially recruited by Heiyan City, and they are deformed things covered with a semi-official skin. They are quite similar to some joint security defenses. They
Wearing official garb and engaging in official adultery, we are not completely official.
When Gu Yue told the nature of these city guards, Nie Feng also understood the intention of the city lord of Heiyan City. He directly used his semi-official status to gather those cultivators who had nothing to do and sharpened their skills.
After all, no matter what place or dynasty, the official status is very tempting, especially in these city-ruled places.
Twelve quotas are set, which allows each other to compete for quotas. It also gives these guys an honest excuse to compete and constantly weaken the opponent. In this way, these unstable factors are constantly being consumed by themselves, and
This city lord can also collect taxes safely without having to bother his own people. As for the behavior of these guys deliberately imposing heavy taxes, the city lord Heiyan turned a blind eye, mainly because all the city residents knew what kind of guys these city guards were.
.
Of course, if something big happens, for example, if too much fishing causes a big problem, the city lord can stand up and simply say: "This is their behavior. I don't know about it. Now that I know it, I will punish them."
." Then eliminate all these guys who have caused anger and resentment.
Of course, since they are dead, the things they looted will naturally go into the pocket of the city lord. If they come and go like this, it is equivalent to the city lord raising a pig and letting the pig go around looking for food until it is fat.
, the city lord slaughtered the pig with one knife, and he did not have to take responsibility, because the city lord's actions can indeed restrain these trouble-prone guys.
"This city lord is not simple~~~~" After a quick analysis and filtering, Nie Feng said softly with a solemn expression. Seeing that Nie Feng had completely seen through the purpose of Heiyan City Lord in just a short time.
, Gu Yue's heart was shocked again.
"Both this man and this woman don't seem to be fuel-efficient."
"Actually, in Heiyan City, the real army is the Heiyan Army under the command of the Lord of Heiyan City. Each of them is a carefully selected elite soldier, and their combat effectiveness is simply not comparable to that of the rabble." He said,
Gu Yue suddenly stopped, "By the way, look at me, I was so busy talking that I forgot to take Nie Feng to exchange the money. By the way, what do you plan to use to exchange the money?"
"Well~~ I plan to sell some jade talismans to exchange for some money." After thinking for a while, Nie Feng turned over and took out five crystal fire talismans and said: "These flame talismans are quite powerful, so I
I want to see if they accept it."
"Take it! Of course, take it!" Seeing the jade talisman in Nie Feng's hand, Gu Yue's eyes lit up. Although the Fire Talisman was not a high-level jade talisman, but only belonged to a relatively low-level jade talisman level, jade talismans were rare, and the weapon refiner
In even rarer situations, even low-quality jade talismans are the objects of rush purchase. Now Nie Feng just turned his hand and took out five jade talismans. How could Gu Yue not feel happy?
"Haha, I'm a little rude, but Nie Feng, you can rest assured. The jade talisman is definitely a hot-selling item here. After all, although this place is big, it is not easy to find all the materials to refine the jade talisman.
For a simple matter of adultery, your five flame talismans can be exchanged for quite a lot of money. However, it would be a waste to exchange them at the bank. Lan Yuexuan will hold an auction in the next few days, and these five jade talismans will enter the auction.
The auction should be qualified, because even Lan Yuexuan has not sold jade talismans for a long time."
"That's fine~~~" Seeing Gu Yue's slightly excited expression, and even saying that these five jade talismans could actually be auctioned in the auction house, Nie Feng had a new understanding of the stock of jade talismans in his hands, and
Huo Ling, who had taken away many jade charms from Nie Feng before, actually showed a proud smile directly under the veil.
