Chapter 136 Hello Ding'an City
We met at dusk, and the moon was rising above the willow branches.
After receiving the spirit stone, Li Xiuyuan did not stay, but asked Chen Chaofan for a wildebeest, and left the Great Wall that night under the escort of Chen Guangming.
He wanted to give everyone the illusion of defecting overnight.
Gui Guzi told him that when performing a show, he must perform a complete act, not only to make the monks at the Great Wall believe it, but also to believe it himself. In this way, even if he accidentally talks in his sleep, it will still be true.
Just after Haishi, the moon in the sky was obscured by layers of dark clouds, and the entire land was blurred, creating a dark and windy night for Li Xiuyuan when he left.
Li Guangming handed the wildebeest in his hand to Li Xiuyuan, looked at him and said with a wry smile: "It's just to save people, why do you need to stage this painful trick? What if the lie turns out to be true?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and smiled: "I am lucky to win, and my life is to lose. My life is very hard, I am not afraid!"
Li Guangming looked at him, shook his head, and said with a smile: "If you really rescue someone this time, I'm afraid it will be enough to promote you to the rank of captain of thousands."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed softly: "I didn't think too much about it. This time it's a private matter, purely for help from my friends. After all, Chen Shanshan and I came from Tiannan City together."
Li Guangming naturally knew Chen Shanshan. He had no choice but to reach out and gently pat Li Xiuyuan on the shoulder and said: "Take care along the way and look forward to your return."
Li Xiuyuan got on the horse and waved goodbye to him: "Teacher Fu Jian can also engrave, but the teacher is old and the speed is very slow. Don't rush him."
When Li Guangming heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand: "When you go to the wilderness, don't believe anyone's words."
With a wave of his riding whip, Li Xiuyuan left the scene.
From time to time, one or two low sounds of wild beasts can be heard in the wilderness, and occasionally there are shrill screams like lonely ghosts in the distance. The wilderness is desolate and terrifying.
This was the first time Li Xiuyuan left the Great Wall, even though Chen Chaofan gave him a map of the wilderness.
But now he was riding alone on the horse, like a lonely ghost wandering in the wilderness.
With a sigh, he took out the black cloak and put it on his body. He was instantly invisible in the vast wilderness. From a distance, he saw only a wildebeest walking alone.
He didn't understand the fear of the wild night, nor would he be afraid, because he had countless runes. When Li Xiuyuan decided to go to Ding'an City alone, Guiguzi gave him a lot of different runes.
The space ring filled with spiritual stones given to him by Chen Chaofan allowed him to find a sense of confidence.
"I come from Shura Heaven, and I want to go to Ding'an City to find the legendary dragon."
Li Xiuyuan was very moved. He was galloping on the dark wasteland, looking at the piles of different skeletons all around, thinking about the various encounters since coming down the mountain, and he was filled with emotions.
"I didn't expect that more than half a year after I came to this world, there would be news about Shenlong."
Li Xiuyuan recalled all this, and he didn't expect that there was a glimmer of hope in this impossible mission. It seemed that he had to have some relationship with the legendary dragon.
If I get the essence and blood of the ancient blue dragon, will I also have the blood of the divine dragon after refining it? Just like my previous Shura bloodline was cannibalized by the fairy spiritual energy.
The wildebeests moved forward, but due to the darkness of the sky, their speed gradually slowed down. Looking back, they could no longer see the towering city wall.
In Li Guangming's words, if he could no longer see the Great Wall in the wilderness, he would have left at least thirty miles away. He had already left the Great Wall far away as he traveled so fast.
In this late night, different shadows flashed across the wasteland, but they did not dare to approach Li Xiuyuan.
I don't know if it's because he possesses the power of yin and yang of heaven and earth, or because he possesses the power of dragon soul.
The wildebeest is like a black ghost, walking on the wasteland. It is already the ugly time, the world has entered a sleep mode, and only the resentful souls who lost their lives on the battlefield are wandering around.
But because Li Xiuyuan's cloak had the invisibility function, these resentful spirits could not do anything to him. He saw that he was getting further and further away from the Great Wall, and in the blink of an eye he had left the Great Wall hundreds of miles away.
...
It is said that in Ding'an City, the city lord's palace is in the prison.
It is said that the prison should be dark and gloomy, but in the past few days, two lanterns have been hung up in the deepest part of the prison, making it look warm and festive, and it does not look like a place where prisoners are held.
The haggard-looking Chen Shanshan sat blankly in the cell, with four dishes, one soup and a small pot of wine placed in front of her.
There were two chairs in the corridor outside the prison, with a middle-aged woman and a young maid.
The middle-aged woman smiled and said: "Miss Chen, you are a blessing obtained in the past life. There are many young ladies from wealthy families in Ding'an City who want to marry Mr. Ximen, but he didn't like it, but he just likes it.
Fucked you..."
Chen Shanshan looked like she was in low spirits. She must have been arguing with the woman in front of her for who knows how many days. Now she was too lazy to argue. She just looked down at her boots, thinking about when the person Zhao Pingan was looking for would come to rescue her.
Own.
However, she didn't know if Zhao Ping'an could return to the Great Wall alive, let alone who her father could find to save her. After all, this was Ding'an City, a wild territory.
The woman outside the prison seemed to have read through her thoughts and giggled: "Don't expect anyone to rescue you. This is the wild Ding'an City. Even if you have thousands of troops, you can't defeat it?"
The maid sitting next to the woman giggled and said, "That's right. When you become our wife, this entire wilderness will be your home, which is bigger than the Great Wall."
Chen Shanshan was really upset when she heard that, she frowned and said, "If you tremble again, I will die for you. Do you want to give it a try?"
Unexpectedly, when the woman heard this, she burst into laughter: "Don't scare me, I'm a coward. All the acupoints in your body were sealed by the city lord, how did you die? Forget it, I won't say anything...
.”
The woman didn't want to offend Chen Shanshan. If she really married the young master, wouldn't she become her master and would she have a good life in the future?
The maid, however, was obedient. She looked at Chen Shanshan and said with a smile: "Miss, please don't embarrass us. We are just servants. You won't get into trouble with our servants in the future, right?"
Chen Shanshan glanced at her and said nothing.
The woman sighed and said quietly: "No matter what, there is no need to struggle with your stomach. Don't do it until you have enough food and strength. Otherwise, on the day you get married, the two of us will not be able to survive."
The maid sitting nearby also said, "That's right, we are also innocent. Please don't embarrass us, Miss."
Seeing Chen Shanshan lose weight day by day, Ximen Guxing had already scolded the two of them several times.
Chen Shanshan, who was alone in the jail, sighed. She was not willing to embarrass the two people in front of her. But she was unwilling to do so. She just came to experience it, but she didn't expect that someone would put her in jail and force her to get married.
This is something she would never agree to anyway.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, thinking that it was not the last days yet, so he had to save some strength. What if his father sent someone to rescue him? When the people came, he would starve to death in this prison...
.
Thinking of this, he finally sighed softly, looked at the two of them and said, "Go and get a bucket of clean water. I want to freshen up. My whole body smells bad."
...
It is said that Li Xiuyuan, who had been running around for several days, relied on the Shura aura brought by the mask on his face to deceive him through the checkpoints along the way, and finally arrived at the Ding'an City that Gui Guzi mentioned.
According to legend, this city originally belonged to the Great Wall and was later occupied by the barbarian army.
At this time, he had already taken off his cloak, led the wildebeest and looked up. Wherever he looked, he stared blankly at the rows of wooden cages on the gate of Ding'an City.
A long row of wooden cages hangs above the city gate of Ding'an City, each containing a corpse.
For thousands of years, all spies caught by the barbaric defenders were executed and unable to return home. They were hung high above the city gate and allowed to be exposed to the sun for many years, which became a means of deterring spies on the Great Wall.
.
There were corpses in the cage that had just been thrown in. Their bones had been exposed after years of decay. The clothes on each corpse were in tatters, with black blood stains and an unpleasant smell.
The wooden cage on the city gate swayed slowly in the wind, and the crows in the sky were waiting to feast on the rotting corpse.
Ding'an City uses bloody wooden cages to warn everyone who comes here not to try to cause trouble here. The result will be the same, just like the bones in this wooden cage.
Li Xiuyuan just looked at it for a moment and then looked back.
The hanging corpse warned that only barbarians could do such a thing, which made the secret diggers coming from the Great Wall feel fear.
But after staying in the Great Wall these days, he has never seen the killing of prisoners. As for the method of disposing of corpses, he has never seen it, because the solemnity of the Great Wall does not allow it!
It's just that Ding'an City is not the Great Wall. It is the fortress where the Great Wall and the barbarians fought. The two sides fought for thousands of years, and were finally taken over by the barbarian army.
With a wave of his hand, two inconspicuous talismans flew into the sky, one was a delay talisman and the other was a flame talisman.
As for the hatred between the Great Wall and the Wilderness, if Chen Chaofan and others cannot solve it, then leave it to more powerful people in the future. In short, it has nothing to do with him. When the time is up, he can leave here with the Jade Breaking Jade in his hand.
The Great Wall here, Ding'an City here, the vast wilderness here, and the two majestic cities of Tiannan and Tianfeng. Will I come here again in this life?
After all this random thinking, he finally sneaked into Ding'an City safely with the tokens Chen Chaofan collected from the battlefield.
Now his name is Shura, a Shura from a foreign land, and his identity is an inconspicuous monk in the wilderness army. He is not even a captain of ten, just a casual cultivator.
And this kind of identity is suitable for the Li Xiuyuan in front of him. He not only needs to keep a low profile, but also needs an uncontrolled identity. This will not only make it easier for him to go to the city lord's mansion to rescue Chen Shanshan, but also make it easier for him to stay and slowly look for what the ancient Canglong wants.
He has decided to stay here for the rest of the year or so.
After entering the city gate, Li Xiuyuan, who was holding the wildebeest, deliberately stopped near the tall city wall, tied the wildebeest to the door of a shop, and then turned around and sat down on the street.
"Man, let's have a bowl of beef noodles! Add more meat, it's not bad!"
It was a windy journey and I suffered a lot of shocks. My first priority when I entered the city was to fill my stomach.
"Okay, wait a minute, sir!" The waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic and gave Li Xiuyuan a warmth he had never experienced in the Great Wall.
Before the waiter could serve the noodles, a mournful horn sounded at the city gate. "There is an enemy attack! Why are all these wooden cages on fire!"
"Come quickly and put out the fire, let the city lord know that none of you can escape responsibility!"
Suddenly, groups of soldiers ran out of the city gate and interrogated the pedestrians who were still outside the city gate.
Li Xiuyuan took a large bowl of beef noodles brought by the waiter, took a sip of the hot soup, and said lightly: "Now that I have come to Ding'an City, I'm afraid your good days have come to an end."
Others would have thought that the rows of wooden cages on the city wall could not be helped, but who am I? I am the unique Shura, the only disciple of Guiguzi.
I am the Great Talisman Master, and I will destroy you with a wave of my hand.
