Standing on the platform, I could see that the sea in the distance was calm. I couldn't see the thick fog or the reefs. It seemed that everything just now was an illusion.
There were several white plant branches on the edge of the platform piercing straight into the sky. Li Qiang squatted down and touched the silver-white ground. He found that it was extremely cold, like a huge ice surface. Many crew members and merchants kept beating to keep warm.
Everyone's body was wet and after standing on the platform for a while, a layer of ice scum formed.
Just when it felt unbearably cold, the pillars on the platform suddenly started to light up, and everyone was scared to death. Li Qiang stood up and said: It's okay. It seems to be for everyone to keep warm. There is no malicious intention. Ze Guqi said: How did you know?
Li Qiang pointed with his hand and said: "The closer you go to the middle, the warmer it becomes. If you don't believe me, try it."
Before Li Qiang could explain clearly, everyone crowded towards the center of the platform. Ze Gu also walked over, and sure enough, he felt very warm and the ice slag on his body melted. Waves of mist rose from everyone's bodies. Everyone cheered in unison, and some even took off their leather robes.
Bare your upper body and let the light shine directly on your body.
Suddenly the pillars began to rotate. Li Qiang was slightly startled and stepped towards the crowd. The pillars began to emit a strong white light. Li Qiang was the only person who could see the changes in the pillars clearly. He discovered that these pillars were arranged in a simple teleportation array. He shouted:
Everyone, please stop moving and relax.
There was a flash of white light and everyone was removed.
This is a strange place. It is still cold. There are white plants everywhere, including silvery white, milky white, off-white, etc. The shapes are also all kinds of strange. Some are as thin and dense as silk, hanging down like spears and spurges, and some branches are like horned dragons.
There are all kinds of fruits on the intertwined roots. The shapes of the fruits are also strange and colorful, and they are really beautiful.
The place where everyone is standing is similar to the white platform just now. There are many white pillars, but the Sea of Wrongful Souls is no longer visible. It is surrounded by tall and dense white plants. You can still hear the faint sound of the waves and know that this place must be very close to the Sea of Wrongful Souls. This is the first time for everyone.
After experiencing the teleportation array, everyone was stunned and at a loss. After a long while, Zegu said: "Where is this place, how did we get here, do any of you know?"
Li Qiang laughed softly behind him: Don't worry about how you got here, prepare to deal with the owners here. They will be here soon. Remember, I am just a passenger on the arrow boat. Ze Gu is also a man who has been wandering in the sea of injustice for many years.
He felt nervous because he couldn't figure out the situation, but he couldn't ignore so many passengers despite risking his life.
The dense white flora all around silently revealed a white path, and at the same time a burst of sweet music sounded. Li Qiang had never heard this kind of strange music, which seemed melodious, euphemistic and slightly lazy.
It made people feel comfortable and relaxed after listening to it. Everyone's nervousness suddenly relaxed and everyone looked towards the white path.
A piece of colorful smoke rose up and a group of people slowly flew over the white path. Li Qiang thought to himself: What are you doing, pretending to be gods and scaring people? It's strange that there are such people in the world of cultivation. Everyone was shocked and dumbfounded. This
The group of people slowly landed on the platform from the air gracefully.
Li Qiang was stunned for a moment. The costumes of this group of people looked very similar to ancient Chinese costumes, but he couldn't tell which dynasty they belonged to. The colors were all shining silver and white, like the costumes of gods in fairyland. The silver ribbons on their bodies would float in the air and their buns would be high.
The yellow man with a high comb on the back of his head has the same standard face as himself, but he is very tall and burly in stature.
A total of more than a dozen people came, including five or six girls and nearly ten young men. The most conspicuous among them was a beautiful woman wearing a light blue dress. She seemed to have the highest status in this group of people. The others were all silver.
She was the only one in the white clothes that stood out. Li Qiang knew at a glance that they were all cultivators. What surprised him the most was that all of the dozen or so people who came seemed to have reached the Nascent Soul stage, and many of them had reached the middle stage or above. He couldn't help but feel
Be on guard.
The girl in a light blue dress glanced at everyone. The merchant crew and plunderers were all trembling in their hearts and couldn't help but feel amazed. Li Qiang didn't care. He knew that it was very difficult for cultivators to be beautiful.
It was an easy thing. He quietly pulled Zegu to signal him to come forward and answer. Zegu was already confused. He had never seen such a weird thing.
Li Qiang looked around quietly and saw people with different expressions. Some had their mouths open, some were helpless, and some had wide-eyed eyes. What was even more funny was that those who had taken off their leather robes all held their leather robes in front of them, as if they were afraid of blaspheming the beautiful woman in front of them.
.Li Qiang secretly laughed in his heart that he could not help cultivating the real girl. The destructive power of the girl was too great for ordinary people to resist. He pinched Zegu hard to signal him to come forward and speak.
Zegu was in a daze when Li Qiang pinched him awake and he subconsciously shouted: Wow, it hurts, um, this. Only then did he wake up and hurriedly walked out of the crowd and said: Sister, hello, girl, I am Ze, the commander of the arrow boat.
He was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly and didn't dare to raise his head. He just stared at his toes.
The girl looked at Zegu's embarrassment and burst into laughter. The clear and melodious laughter made everyone dizzy. The laughter seemed to be full of magic and made people happy. Li Qiang was secretly surprised: It was so powerful that it resembled the transformation of a sound attack, which reminded him of being in the sea of wronged souls.
He heard the sound of drums and some strange noises and concluded that the owner here must be proficient in music and attack.
Zegu blushed at her laughter and murmured without knowing what she was saying. The girl smiled and said: Welcome to the City of Tianlai. Zegu stuttered and said: Tianlai City is not Liugutan. That girl seems to be very
She liked this atmosphere and looked at this group of trembling people and said happily: You have already passed through the Lengugu Beach. Well, let me explain that Tianlaicheng has no ill intentions towards you. Everyone, please follow us. She will say no more.
Zhao Fei got up and flew slowly towards the road he came from. The music sounded again.
Zegu looked at Li Qiang as if asking for help and whispered: Brother, what should we do?
Li Qiang had not noticed any danger so far, so he whispered: "Follow and see what happens." Zegu loudly directed everyone to walk on the white path.
As we walked along the path, there was still an elegant cold fragrance floating in the air. After turning a few bends, the view broadened slightly, and a clear stream appeared in front of everyone. The sound of gurgling water made people feel otherworldly. A small white bridge
Across the stream, it looks particularly peaceful against the backdrop of the surrounding white plants.
This group of merchants thought they had learned a lot from traveling all over the country, but when they got here, they could only marvel and admire, thinking that this was the pure land in their dreams. Everyone walked carefully for fear of desecrating the beauty of this place. As soon as everyone walked on the small bridge, a burst of melodious music began.
There was a sound under their feet, which frightened everyone to stop. The music suddenly stopped. Only then did everyone realize that it was their own footsteps that caused it.
But Li Qiang has been wondering why the owner of this place brought so many people here. He previously thought that the owner of this place must be very evil, but based on what he saw in front of him, that didn't seem to be the case. The demeanor of the group of men and women he just saw didn't have any evil intentions at all.
Normally, it would be difficult for a person who is interested in music to practice evil. He was puzzled and developed a strong curiosity.
Seeing that the group of people in front of him were flying far away, Ze Gu hurriedly said: Everyone, hurry up and keep up with the people in front. He then asked Li Qiang in a low voice: Brother, do you think there is any danger?
Sent to the Western Continent. His voice was filled with guilt.
Li Qiang also whispered: "We can't see any danger now. We can only depend on the situation. Be smart and ask everyone to obey the master here and don't try to resist. The people here are not something you can handle. He guessed that the level of cultivators here must be very high."
These dozen people have already entered the true realm of cultivation. The master of Tianlai City can imagine that if the people on the arrow boat resist, they may not even know how they will die.
After walking for a while, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. Everyone exclaimed in unison: "Wow, even Li Qiang was no exception and couldn't help but exclaimed."
Li Qiang was amazed because the scenery in front of him was so familiar. It was a peculiar palace-style building. Although he couldn't tell which dynasty style it was from in ancient China, he could clearly understand the essence of palace-style architecture. All the buildings here were unique.
It’s a world of pure white, as crystal-clear and lovely as ice sculptures and snow structures.
A tall archway stood in front of everyone. What was engraved on the archway turned out to be big seal characters. Li Qiang half-guessed that it seemed to be the sound of nature. He couldn't help but feel excited. He knew that the owner here must have some connection with the earth.
Behind the archway is a flat piece of white grass. The so-called white grass is a kind of plant that looks like curly silver threads. It is very fine and soft, with a slight silvery light, giving people the feeling of a huge silver-white carpet.
The group of people leading the way fell down. One of the men took out a strange-shaped silver whistle, and with a pleasant sound, the huge archway shone. Li Qiang suddenly understood that one could not enter or exit casually. It seemed that there was something invisible.
The formation's defense against the sound just now is probably the key to opening the formation.
As two people suddenly appeared in front of the flashing archway, Li Qiang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly lowered his head.
The one standing in front of the two people was also a young woman. What shocked Li Qiang was that she looked very much like Hua Mei Niang and was also wearing a pink dress. The girl in a light blue dress smiled and stepped forward to salute: Senior sister, everyone is
I didn’t expect that there would be so many people this time. Why is Mr. Wen also here?
The two people who came out were both masters and had already reached the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. Under their glances, Li Qiang tried his best to control his whole body's skills to avoid being noticed by these two people. Li Qiang has been considered first-rate in the world of cultivation since he entered the out-of-body stage.
Fortunately, the level of cultivation of these two people is one level lower than that of Li Qiang, and they were not deliberately searching, so there was no such thing as a master of cultivation among this group of people.
Wen Lao smiled and said: You little girl, you have to run out. These people just need to go to a few servants to pick them up. Are you feeling bored again? The girl in pink also smiled and said: Don't tell me that my junior sister is bored.
I also want to go out and have some fun, but Master doesn’t agree.
Zegu and the others were baffled by what they heard. They didn't understand a word of Li Qiang's words, but they were very excited. The words they spoke were actually the language of his hometown. He thought: It is certain that the owner here must be from the earth, but he doesn't know what dynasty he came from.
Mr. Wen walked up to the crowd and said in the language of Tambang Continent: Hello everyone, welcome to the City of Tianlai. I am the elder here. My name is Wen Qiuli. Just call me Mr. Wen. Zegu and the others were speechless.
Wen Qiuli said again: "Let me introduce to you. This is Senior Sister Piao Yuan, the eldest disciple of the city lord. This is Junior Sister Lan Xin. When you see it, you will have to perform discipleship rituals. Do you understand?"
Although everyone said nothing, they cheered inwardly that there was such a beautiful elder. Although they did not dare to think anything wrong, it was pleasing to the eye just to look at it. Everyone's fear began to weaken slightly.
Piao Yuan and Lan Xin smiled slightly, especially Lan Xin's smug look, which seemed to be very happy to be an elder. Ze Gu asked tremblingly: "Mr. Wen, please tell me when can we leave. He is the most sober person."
What is said is the key. Wen Qiuli smiled slightly and said: We invite everyone here this time because Tianlai City lacks manpower to do one thing. When this thing is done, you can stay or leave if you want.
Li Qiang thought about the credibility of what he said and finally concluded that Wen Lao's words were not sincere. Zegu breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him repeatedly. Wen Qiuli asked: What is your name? Zegu became more fluent because he relaxed and said: My name is Wen Lao.
Zegu is the commander of the arrow boat, please take care of Mr. Wen and the seniors.
Lan Xin interjected: I can't tell you are quite smart. Okay, let's go into the city. Piao Yuan said with a smile: Junior sister is just impatient. When everyone goes in, be careful not to run around on Silver Grass Slope. It will be dangerous. Follow us.
Let's go. Good old man, let's go. Everyone followed closely for fear of running into any danger.
The City of Nature is built on the valley of the white peak and is surrounded by white peaks on three sides. The building complex is divided into three parts. The main building on the mountain reminds Li Qiang of the Forbidden City. Although it is not exactly the same, it is slightly less powerful.
But this place looks even more exquisite and delicate; there is a building complex on the left and right sides, which are looming and mysterious among the white plants.
Zegu and the others followed Mr. Wen into the building complex on the left. After entering the courtyard, everyone realized that there was a different world inside. It was a building complex composed of large courtyards. Each courtyard had a basketball court in the open space, all of which were white.
What's special about the ground is that there are many pillars of different lengths in the four corners of the yard, which seem to be defensive formations. Li Qiang felt strange why there was so much emphasis on defense here. He didn't know what else could threaten this place in the sea of grievances. Suddenly, his heart moved.
: Maybe there are other cultivators who are enemies with them.
Passing through several courtyards and arriving at the big courtyard at the end, the houses here are no longer cute white houses but gray low-rise bungalows. At a glance, you can tell that this is where servants live. Piao Yuan and Lan Xin have already brought their men with them.
Only Wen Qiuli came here with everyone, and behind him were a few big men in silver.
As soon as they entered the yard, the looters made a sound of surprise. There were already many people in the yard, which seemed very lively. The looters spotted him first, and all the people immediately gathered around to ask about the situation. Li Qiang secretly decided that if these people were not in danger, he would prepare to go quietly by himself.
Leave. The management staff in the courtyard seemed to be waiting for Wen Qiuli's arrival. When they saw him walking in, they immediately ordered everyone to assemble.
There was a lot of noise in the yard. Under the scolding of the big man in silver, the rabble formed into several large groups. Li Qiang and Zegu stood together. Zegu whispered: I don’t know what they are going to do. Li Qiang said: We will know soon. Wait.
Let them announce it. He was also very curious.
A big man in silver clothes held a soft bag and called out to the people at the head of each team to put the contents in the bag down. When it was passed to Li Qiang's hand, he found it was a small jade talisman. He checked it slightly and found that it was a protective jade talisman.
Very curious: What kind of thing is this that requires us to go to some dangerous place? But it doesn’t seem strange.
Wen Qiuli saw that everyone had received the jade talisman and said loudly: Don't be surprised, everyone. This is just a small test. Let everyone listen to a song. If you can't listen, please crush the jade talisman in your hand. Then nothing will happen.
Don't crush the jade talisman if you can bear it. Haha, this involves your status and identity in Tianlai City. Okay, everyone, sit down.
Li Qiang sat behind Zegu and whispered: Hold on as long as possible and I will help you. Although Zegu didn't understand what Li Qiang meant, he still nodded obediently.
Wen Qiuli waved his hand to summon a big man in silver and said: Let's start with a single tone.
The big man pulled a one-foot-long silver three-pronged fork from his belt and appeared in his hand. Li Qiang knew at a glance that he had a storage belt. He placed the silver fork across his chest and suddenly raised his hand with an excited bright sound.
The earthquake dispersed and everyone sitting on the ground was shaken almost at the same time. Some people screamed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, the single-tone explosions, booms, and booms became louder and louder. The sound was like a huge wave, like lightning and thunder, and it seemed like waves of waves that never stopped. Soon some people couldn't bear it.
I saw a green light flashing in the crowd, and those who were crushing the jade charms immediately calmed down. Zegu could still bear it, but his face was ugly. After a while, the tremolo suddenly stopped.
Li Qiang estimated that nearly half of the people crushed the jade talisman in about three minutes. Wen Qiuli seemed satisfied to let a big man take away those who couldn't stand it. He smiled and said: "Well, that's good. Let's take a break and wait for the next chapter."
Second song. Li Qiang noticed that those who couldn't stand it in the first round were almost all merchants, while most of the raiders and crew members were able to withstand it.
This time another big man in silver came up. Li Qiang found that this big man's armguards were different from the one in front. Although they were both silver in color, they had different patterns. He thought to himself that they might have different skills.
The big man in silver pulled out a long emerald-colored penis with many holes on it. He bowed slightly to Wen Qiuli, and his body turned slowly. A low whimpering sound sounded. Ze Gu was actually very scared in his heart, and he couldn't bear it.
Crush the jade talisman. Li Qiang is standing by, ready to help Zegu. He also needs someone to cover him.
The sobs gradually became louder, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They all felt that the sound was not as scary as the previous one. Li Qiang, an expert, quietly sent a message to Ze Gu: Be careful, something powerful is coming soon. Ze Gu was shocked and immediately braced himself.
The whimpering suddenly turned into a harsh scream. Those who had already relaxed their minds were shaken by the scream, making them dizzy and trembling. Some people couldn't help but vomited. Green light flashed continuously in the queue.
Zegu couldn't bear it anymore and was about to crush the jade charm when suddenly he couldn't hear anything clearly. Li Qiang gently touched his lower back from behind, and Zegu understood that Li Qiang had helped him squeeze the jade charm and relaxed his hand.
This time, there were only more than 20 people sitting on the ground, and the others could not hold on. Wen Qiuli was very satisfied and said: Well, very good. You guys can get up. Wait a moment and you will go to Xishengtang for the last test. Now.
You can take a rest and someone will bring food. Wen Qiuli ordered each of the remaining people to hang a tag before turning around and leaving.
Zegu put the tag around his neck and smiled bitterly: What are they going to do? Brother, I feel like I will never be able to leave here. Li Qiang thought to himself: I'm afraid you guessed it right. It's difficult to leave with this posture.
Li comforted him and said: Not necessarily, so far they haven't shown any malice, let's wait and see what happens. In fact, he was more anxious and didn't know where Princess Lanqiu and the others were now.
The people who had just exited the yard were called back again. Several men in silver clothes held soft bags and gave each person a blue fruit the size of a fist and said: This is the ice hunger fruit. Eating it can prevent cold and hunger. During the rush, someone was leaving.
He went to Li Qiang and said: How could it be you? Li Qiang was startled by him and turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised.
