Chapter 104 Pilgrimage
Soon, Han Li and the other three arrived at the scheduled island landing location, a beach on the west side of Hongyue Island.
What surprised the three of them was that this area was quite deserted and uninhabited. However, when it came to Red Moon Island for thousands of years of seclusion and island sealing, there was nothing strange about it.
As for some of the warning restrictions set up here, although they are still clever and hidden, it is naturally easy to avoid them for the three people who have cultivated their true immortals.
Even so, the three of them did not dare to be careless at all, concealed their breath, and slowly flew towards their first target according to the scheduled route, a place called Tianshui City.
At this moment, there were clouds in the sky, and a thick layer was formed. The three of them flew in the clouds, making them even more hidden.
Han Li flew while overlooking the environment on the island.
The western area of Hongyue Island is flat, with few undulating peaks, mostly plains, with lush vegetation at the entrance of your eyes, and continuous forests extend to the end of your view.
I don’t know if it’s because of the soil, the trees on the islands are basically red.
The sea breeze blows, and the leaves rise and fall, like a jumping sea of fire, which is very spectacular.
When the three of them finally flew out of the forest area, a plain appeared in front of them, dozens of miles away from the forest, and there was a large city. From a distance, you can see the three big words "Fenghai City" written above the city gate.
The sheep-faced Jiao Jiu, who was flying in the front, raised his hand suddenly and stopped the escape light.
Seeing this, Han Li and the tiger-faced Jiao Shiliu stopped immediately.
"But what appeared?" Jiao Shiliu asked, his eyes swept around.
"Since we entered the island, it is rare to see a city. It is better to confirm the location first. After all, the map given by the three masters of Jiao is not accurate, so don't go off the direction." Jiao Jiu replied in a deep voice.
"Okay." Jiao Shiliu nodded when he heard this.
Han Li naturally had no objection to this. After all, after flying for a while, he really needed to confirm the direction.
The three of them fell silently from mid-air and walked towards the city.
As a result, when the three of them came to the city, they were all slightly stunned.
In this seemingly small city, not only is the gate closed, but the city is also silent, without any sound coming out, just like there is no one inside!
"Keep it, it may be the enemy's trap!" Jiao Jiu whispered to Han Li and the other two.
Han Li and Jiao Shiliu nodded slightly and approached the city quietly. After confirming that there were no restrictions outside the city, they turned over and came to the city wall.
Because of Jiao San's advice, the three of them did not directly release their spiritual sense to investigate the situation in the city, but they all automatically used other means to search and found that there was no abnormality in the city.
"It seems that it's just an empty city, but it's a little fussy." Jiao Jiu murmured.
"Strange, this city does not look old. It should have been inhabited not long ago. It doesn't seem like it was an attack. How could it be empty?" Jiao Shiliu said in confusion.
Han Li frowned slightly, and he was quite confused.
He just used the spiritual eyes and saw that many houses in the city were empty, and some shops were closed, but they all had traces of being there. It seemed that they had just left not long ago.
The wind blew through the empty streets, making whimpering, some unclosed doors and windows swayed, and there were crackling sounds. From time to time, some wild cats and dogs rushed by, and a strange aura was heard everywhere.
"The things here have nothing to do with us. Since our location has been confirmed, let's go. The task is important." Jiao Jiu said, obviously not wanting to pay attention to the things here.
Han Li and Jiao Shiliu nodded, and had no time to care about these trivial matters.
The three of them immediately bypassed the city and continued to fly forward.
Next, the flatter the terrain in front of him was flattering, and soon a fertile grassland appeared in front of the three of them. There were many cattle and sheep, scattered and scattered, but no one nearby saw it.
Even in some small villages and towns deep in the grassland, no one appeared.
At the end of this grassland, another city appeared.
After the empty city incident just now and what they saw along the way, the three of them did not intend to stay here, but they still subconsciously looked down.
As a result, the three of them were shocked again after seeing this.
"Hey, there is still no one in the city, why is it another empty city?" Jiao Shiliu said strangely.
"I don't have to pay attention. Maybe something happened in this area recently, so everyone has migrated away." Jiao Jiu said after pondering for a moment.
"If the next city is still like this, I feel it is necessary to let others know about it." Han Li said.
"Look at it again. According to the map sign, there is a big city less than two thousand miles ahead." Jiao Jiu nodded and said.
Sure enough, a moment later, a city appeared in front of the three of them.
This city is called Ancheng, with a large area and a radius of hundreds of miles.
To Han Li and others' expectations, everything was normal in this city. There were crowds of people at the gate of the city, and there were even shops in the city, which seemed very lively. In addition to mortals, there were many low-level monks, which formed a sharp contrast with the two empty cities before.
"Hey, there are quite a few people in this city. Could it be that the people in the city have all come here before?" Jiao Shiliu seemed to have a little relaxed and said in a teasing tone.
Han Li frowned slightly. This Ancheng was not far from the empty city before. How could the situation in the city be so completely different?
"Two fellow Taoists, we have plenty of time. The incident in the empty city here is quite strange. As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things are abnormal. It is better to investigate it a little. By the way, we can also collect some information about Red Moon Island from this city." Han Li pondered for a moment and suggested this.
"Jiao Shiwu's words are reasonable, it's better to be more cautious." Jiao Shiliu looked at Han Li and nodded.
"Since both of you think this is the case, let's investigate this city a little, but be careful." Jiao Jiu said, pointing to a square in the center of the city below.
A blood-red statue stood in the center of the square, emitting a faint blood-red light, covering a radius of hundreds of feet.
People nearby, whether mortals or monks, respect this red statue very much. When they passed by, they bowed and bowed to their salutes. However, the cultivators in the city did not seem to have high cultivation, and the highest level was only in the Kan Kan Stage.
Han Li naturally noticed that statue, which was an ordinary statue where the earth immortals collected the power of faith.
The lord Gongshu Hong of Hongyue Island is a land immortal. It is nothing surprising to have such statues everywhere.
However, according to the information collected by the Impermanence Alliance, Gongshuhong's practice is quite special, and it seems that he can sense the situation in various places through these statues. Therefore, when they sneak into Red Moon Island, they must not commit rashness in various cities.
Han Li has always been suspicious of this statement.
In recent times, he has consulted a lot of information about this type of statue. These ordinary statues are just special containers for collecting the power of faith, not just incarnation, and do not have the power of the five senses.
But since the people of the Impermanence Alliance have a first words, they will naturally not try the Dharma with their own body for no reason.
The three of them fell in a hidden place outside the city, and each activated the prohibition in their masks to transform their appearance, turned into three merchants, and mixed into Ancheng in the crowd.
Although there was a mask covering, the three of them tried their best to calm their breath.
Looking at the lively appearance around him, Han Li felt a little moved and couldn't help but recall the scene of walking in the mundane world with Liu Le'er in Linghuan Realm.
Although he had not yet recovered his consciousness, these little memories remained.
In such a cruel environment in the world of immortal cultivation, it is particularly rare that this little girl can really take good care of herself as her brother. He seems to have recovered some of the little girl's shadows in his memory from the other party.
Now, this woman has been taken away by the so-called tribe members, and I don’t know where she has gone.
While thinking about it, Jiao Shiliu's voice came:
“There is a restaurant in front of you, so why not go there and have a look.”
Han Li came to his senses and looked in the direction he said. It was a three-story restaurant with a good business.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, a waiter who looked very clever came up.
"Arrang us a quieter private room." Before the waiter could speak, Jiao Shiliu said.
"Okay! Please follow the younger ones for the three objectives." The waiter nodded repeatedly and led the three to an elegantly decorated single room on the second floor.
"Go to warm two pots of wine and stir-fry a few of your restaurant's best dishes. The dishes are faster. Take these silver, so you don't need to find any more." After sitting down, Jiao Shiliu took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it to the waiter, saying.
When Han Li heard this, he glanced at Jiao Shiliu. Seeing his appearance, he seemed to often go in and out of this ordinary restaurant.
At this time, Jiao Jiu also looked at Jiao Shiliu more.
The waiter took the silver, immediately agreed with a smile on his face, and walked out quickly.
"Haha, I made the two fellow Taoists laugh. Although I have been fasting for many years, I have never been able to give up these secular wine and food." Jiao Shiliu noticed the strange eyes of Han Li and the others, and said embarrassedly.
"What the fellow Taoist said? Everyone has their own preferences. Speaking of which, I also recall these delicacies in the world. I will enjoy them today to satisfy my desires." Jiao Jiu said with a laugh.
The waiter quickly walked in with a food plate, filled with various wine and dishes.
The restaurant's skills are obviously good, with the mellow wine and fragrant dishes, making people unable to stop their index fingers.
Jiao Shiliu filled the three of them with wine glasses, but he did not politely treat Han Li and the others. He drank two glasses in a row, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled slightly, and picked up the wine glass and took a sip to his mouth.
"Three guests are slow to use, so the younger one will leave first." The waiter said, and then turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, waiter." Jiao Jiu suddenly spoke and called out.
"What are your instructions?" The waiter paused and turned around.
"The three of us are the merchants in the south. A few days ago, we passed by Fenghai City and Molin City. Why are there empty people there? I wonder if you people from Ancheng know about this?" Jiao Jiu asked with a smile.
