Chapter 32 Duobao Building in Chencheng, Ice Sculpture of Monkey and Pig
A ten-foot-high city wall rises out of the vast snowfield, and a thick layer of ice adheres to the surface of the bluestone city wall.
After passing through the huge arched city gate, the noisy sounds, warm atmosphere and crowds of pedestrians inside immediately give people a feeling of being in another world.
Outside the city, the sky is white and vast, the wind is biting, and it feels like a deserted place.
The city is so bustling and noisy, as if everyone is in a different world.
There is no more snow on the roads in the city, and most of the snow piled on the roofs has melted and been cleared away. The wide avenues are clean and tidy, with cars, horses and pedestrians flowing left and right.
Uncle Xu said as he walked: "Sir, this is the 'Chen City' that the head of the family said. The man just now said it right. We really need to buy magic weapons or magic weapons for traveling. But the original plan was to buy that kind of magic weapon.
It is a simple magic weapon that can be manipulated at will by just putting in the spiritual stone. Now that the young master has entered Taoism and can sacrifice the magic weapon and magic weapon, we can buy a better one."
"Uncle Xu has a spirit stone?" It's embarrassing to say that Wang Li has never seen what a spirit stone looks like.
Uncle Xu smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Yes, the old master sent back a lot. The master gave some to his subordinates and ordered them to keep them for the young master. If the young master needs it, the subordinates can..."
"No, let Uncle Xu continue to keep it." Wang Li declined. Since his father did not ask Uncle Xu to hand over the spirit stone to him, and Uncle Xu did not take the initiative to mention it before, then they naturally have their own ideas and reasons. Wang Li
Li has a high degree of trust in Uncle Xu. This middle-aged man grew up in Wang Li's family, and then watched Wang Li grow up. Uncle Xu has been around in Wang Li's life for more than ten years.
Then he turned to say: "There is a teleportation array here, can't we continue to teleport on our way?"
"The head of the family has ordered that this place is affected by the strange phenomena of heaven and earth. The teleportation array can only be entered but not exited. Therefore, we have to leave the Bingling Domain by the shortest route, and then teleport to the Shushan Territory. This journey is more than three thousand miles.
If there are magic weapons and magic weapons, it will probably only take a day or two."
Wang Li nodded: "Then let's go directly to the Duobao Building and set off immediately after buying the things."
"yes!"
Along the way, most of the shops on both sides and surroundings have "Chen Ji" or similar signs. Mothers who are shouting for their children to go home for dinner will shout "Chen Moumou", and most of the children chasing each other are also surnamed Chen.
This is probably the reason why this place is called "Chencheng".
"Wangcai, don't run around, keep a low profile and drive on your way."
After Wang Li warned him, Gouzi immediately put away his playfulness and moved forward with his head buried behind him.
The combination of three people and one dog is not conspicuous, and there are many people dressed like them. After all, no matter how populous the city is, the weather will still be cold and harsh.
However, compared with the capital of Li Kingdom, there are many practitioners in Chen City. Most of them dress up as Taoists. There are occasionally monks, but their behavior is very low-key and they do not bully ordinary people. Of course, they have no communication with ordinary people.
That’s it.
After a few kilometers, there was another slightly smaller city gate in front of us.
According to other people's rules, they come forward to be inspected one by one. In order to pass, you need to have a certain level of cultivation, and you also need to pay spiritual stones.
To check your cultivation, you only need to light up a transparent crystal ball.
Uncle Xu, a qi and blood practitioner, can do it, but dogs can't. Fortunately, there are no restrictions, but dogs also have to pay a fee.
Wang Li saw Uncle Xu take out four spiritual stones and hand them to him. From the outside, they looked like square white jade with precise cuts at the back, but the dense spiritual energy could be seen inside with the naked eye.
"Four pieces of low-grade spiritual stones." The other party muttered softly, and after a short note, they were allowed to pass.
Entering the inner city, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet again.
Looking around at this moment, the most eye-catching thing is the two statues at the end of the straight road.
They are all carved from ice and snow, crystal clear, both spiritual and physical, and lifelike.
On the left side, he wears a phoenix tail crown, chainmail, and cloud shoes. His face is covered with hair, and his features are heroic and unyielding. He holds a long stick on his shoulder in his left hand, and points to the sky with his right hand.
On the right side, the breasts are exposed, the belly is pushed forward, the ears are like fans, the nose is shaped like a pig, a nine-tooth rake is carried on the shoulder, and the face is full of smiles.
The two ice sculptures are more than three feet tall and are truly giants.
As soon as this scene came into view, Wang Li's mind wrinkled with a storm, so his pupils suddenly shrank and he took a breath of cold air.
But soon, he smiled and continued on his way.
Ling Yue'er, who had been keeping a low profile beside her, noticed his abnormality just now, lowered her head and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, keep walking." Wang Li responded, raising his hand to pull her hood down, covering most of her face.
A few moments.
Duobaolou has arrived.
This is a five-story building, which is considered top-notch in the inner city.
As soon as I entered the door, someone immediately greeted me with a warm and authentic attitude: "Welcome some guests. Do you need an introduction, or do you want to take a look by yourself?"
The young man was talking to Uncle Xu, who looked more mature, so Wang Li was not in a hurry to come forward, but looked around with curiosity.
Uncle Xu patted the luggage behind him: "We have to hurry."
The other party immediately smiled and said: "Understood, please come with me."
Following him to the third floor, Wang Li and others were arranged to take a short rest in a warm room. First, the maid brought tea, and then the other party rushed over holding a book.
"All the magical instruments and treasures used in our store for traveling are here. Take your time and take a look. I'll be waiting at the door. If you need anything, just say hello." After that, he withdrew and closed the door.
Ling Yue'er immediately opened her hood, took on her cloak, and took a sip of hot tea. She took a deep breath and said, "Huh~ This place is really too cold. I feel like the winter in Lingyun Mountain was all fake."
, but this store is pretty good.”
Wang Li sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "In front of the teleportation formation, the man said this was the shop he opened."
Ling Yue'er raised her eyebrows: "What's the problem?"
Wang Li smiled: "It's not a big problem."
Why would a person who could open such a shop in the inner city go to guard some teleportation array in the ice and snow?
On the other side, Uncle Xu was looking at the book attentively, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning. After a while, he handed the book to Wang Li.
"Sir, it's your choice."
Wang Li nodded and took it, looked at it twice, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, you'd better tell us which ones we can afford first, otherwise it would be a joke if we don't have the spiritual stones after we have chosen them.
"
He just turned a few pages and saw that the price of spiritual stones was increasing disproportionately.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Xu gave him an unexpected answer.
"Young master, whatever you want, we can all afford it."
