After climbing over the natural chasm of Shiyue Mountain, not far away, you will find the capital of Wu Kingdom.
Lord Shuangyue is looking for the monarch of Wu Kingdom. And if they want to move forward, passing through the kingdom is the most time-saving and quick route.
"I've said it before," Bai Ya emphasized one last time, "we're just passing by. If you want to find someone else's monarch, don't get involved with us."
"Well..."
Mr. Shuangyue just responded vaguely. He turned his head and glanced at the city gate that was getting farther and farther away. His thick gray hair was scattered on the side of his face, and Bai Ya couldn't see his expression.
Since there is no objection, Quan can take it as a guarantee.
Qi Huan was curious and followed Lord Shuangyue to look at the city wall behind him. He could vaguely see reliefs on it, decorated with cinnabar-colored dye, but could not see the content clearly. It was probably some kind of decorative mural. Lord Shuangyue had already turned his head.
Then he walked silently
Qi Huan didn't know if he saw anything, and he didn't intend to ask. He glanced at Bai Ya again, thinking about the scene when they just met, and was secretly speechless. These two people have weird tempers, and I really don't know Guan Yi
There are poisonous insects in the house, which one can make the other party angry?
As the former imperial city of the Nine Heavens Kingdom, the current capital of the Wu Kingdom is still bustling with people and majestic. The guards stationed and patrolling at the gate and on the roads are also well-equipped. However, it is these guards who seem to be the most intimidating.
But people
They have extremely fierce faces, tall and strong bodies, and dark red skin color that is completely different from humans. They are the Asura clan that leads this martial city. Standing next to them, even Bai Ya and Lord Shuang Yue look kind-hearted.
After walking through the most crowded area of the city gate, they first noticed the sculptures standing on both sides of the avenue, which seemed to be a commemoration of some kind of heroic epic. There were two near the city gate, which were particularly majestic and towering. Bai Ya raised his neck and looked up, although
It has an almost human shape, and it has not been painted. Considering the national conditions of this place, it should be the heroic figure of the Shura tribe. In addition, there are also some appearances of ordinary humans and monsters, but only a very small number. I don’t know what they are.
Who did it?
There was something stepping on the feet of most of the statues. Jun Aoyan was curious and walked to the side of the road to take a look, and found that the gorgeous base was made of many entangled bodies. Some were animals or monsters; but the ones that made up the majority were
It was a ferocious species that she had never seen before. The twisted face was even more ugly and weird than Yaksha, like an extremely exaggerated evil spirit.
She told her friends about this discovery, and Lord Shuangyue suddenly spoke:
"Rakshasa."
"Rakshasa?"
"The natural enemies of human beings." Liu Shenghan answered, "They feed on human flesh. They go to heaven and earth and do all kinds of evil. Some say that they are unable to reincarnate as human beings because of their heavy karma, and they deeply hate humans; others say that they are just
It was the evildoers who had committed many evil deeds in the previous life who were punished like this. I heard that the destruction of the predecessor of the Nine Heavens Kingdom was related to them...but it is hard to say how."
"The stories of the previous dynasties were written by the people of the present dynasty." Mr. Shuangyue summed it up concisely and comprehensively.
They put aside the statue of their old enemy fighting and continued to move forward. Different costumes decorated the crowds around them. At first, they thought it was because this was the main road into the city that visitors from all over the world gathered. But they walked further inside.
, the scenery is still ordinary. Just looking at the clothes, this capital city
The residents here seemed to have been thrust into the same city from different cultural regions, and they got along with each other strangely. They even saw many monsters with alien characteristics, walking freely among the crowd, and there were also
At the roadside stall, I was haggling with the human stall owner.
Among the group of people, Liu Shenghan was the most observant and well-informed person, and she did not hesitate to explain to others. She told her companions that these costumes seemed to retain the customs of various places, but there were some changes and convergences.
Perhaps, these people have settled here for a long time, but for some unknown reason, Wu State does not have a unified dress code for the people. Either this new country has a short history, or the country's laws and folk customs are not intended to do this, and they have no intention to do so.
Of.
Furthermore, she noticed that the expressions of these people or demons were quite solemn, or could be described as dull. I wonder if it was because of the rule of the martial arts style that all of them had the habit of being unsmiling.
"I said that even though there are many people, I still feel that this city is very dull and not lively at all." Qi Huan muttered, stretching his neck to look around. "There is no entertainment, it is difficult to even find a restaurant...
Are all of you martial arts practitioners like this?"
Bai Ya ignored his joke, but noticed the same problem as him. Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, most of them were selling armors and weapons. Some of the bigger ones had the word "武" written directly on the banners they carried.
or simply painted on the door wall, it is obviously a martial arts gym.
Mr. Shuangyue was also looking at these shops. The difference was that there was a strange look in his listless eyes. He grabbed Bai Ya suddenly:
"Young Master Bai, look at the atmosphere here, it's just right for a martial arts practitioner like you."
Bai Ya didn't expect this hand. He squeezed hard and raised his arm to push him down.
"If you have something to say, don't move your hands or feet."
Lord Shuangyue turned a deaf ear and pinched his arm: "You really don't think about staying for two more days? Let's find a martial arts school that can be rented to have a competition. Since you are Shirasa's son, you should be a strong martial artist, but I haven't done it yet.
I’ve seen it before.”
"Don't make trouble with my father!"
They were pushing and shoving, and the other three people knew it was a joke, so they stood aside and watched in amusement, with no intention of starting a fight.
No one thought that this fuss would cause trouble. Wu Guodu’s style was mixed, and the five outsiders were not noticeable at first. However, they underestimated the serious atmosphere here. Immediately there was a patrol passing by.
Noticing this rare conflict, he glanced at them twice. There were many permanent residents in the capital, but they were familiar enough to the guards who patrolled every day. At a glance, he realized that these were faces from a group of people, and he immediately walked towards this side.
cross-examination:
"Where are you from, and what do you do when you come to this country, but make noise on the road?"
Qi Huan felt something was wrong, and stretched out his hand to grab Bai Ya. The latter also stopped, but unexpectedly Lord Shuangyue turned around and faced the guard, saying nothing but shocking him.
"Guard of the capital? Just in time, I have something important to do with your king. Please take us to the royal city." Beauty's Nest
After saying these words, the guard's eyes naturally widened. Bai Ya's expression was no less impressive than his own. He stated in a low voice, somewhat sullenly:
"I told you, don't drag us into this."
"Lao Bai, don't..."
Jun Aoyan also quickly smoothed things over with the guard: "Brother, don't be offended. We are all our own people. It's just a joke."
"No joke." Shuangyue Jun still said indifferently, and Bai Ya wanted to shut his mouth.
Liu Shenghan grabbed him, shook his head slightly, turned to the Shura patrol and said, "That's true. If it disturbs the purity of this place, please forgive me. We will advise our friends to go and stay at the top."
"Lodging? You'd better come with me first." A few more guards gathered around. A Shura crossed his arms and lowered his head and looked at them suspiciously. "You are so sneaky and suspicious, and you want to escape, how can you believe it?
Are your motives pure? Whether you want us to invite you with courtesy or force, you can decide for yourself."
Qi Huan took two steps back with a grimace: "The two of them disrupting the market...what does that have to do with us? Seeing that the meal is almost here, I'm a little hungry. Can I not go?"
Shura had no reaction to his joke: "You want martial arts?"
These martial arts guys have tougher tempers than the others.
At this point, Qi Huan had no choice but to curse, not daring to add fuel to the fire. He had to keep an eye on Bai Ya and not let him and Lord Shuangyue fight in front of the guards. Fortunately, Bai Ya only had a sullen face, while Lord Shuangyue also looked meaningless.
They followed a few guards and kept their heads down. The Shura people also had slumped faces and had no intention of talking. They didn't greet the two guards stationed at the door of a building.
"How are you doing?"
One of them, who didn't look like Shura, opened the door, yawned and replied:
"Same as usual. This group you led is the first group of new faces in such a long time."
The old words he mentioned probably meant that the door was deserted. The guards escorted them into a compartment. Both the interior and the corridor were extremely deserted, with a damp and damp atmosphere that was rarely visited by people. When Shura locked the cell door and left, Liu Sheng
Han wiped it on the railing and found that even the vertical railings were stained with a thick layer of dust.
There were no guards as far as the eye could see in the corridor. Considering the reason why they were brought in, the lazy and cold atmosphere made Liu Shenghan speculate that this was not a prison, but probably just a prison cell.
When she looked back, the cell was in full swing.
Even though Jun Aoyan and Qi Huan were holding each other on the left and right, and persuading them nicely, Bai Ya still couldn't restrain his annoyance and cursed angrily at Shuangyue Lord. At this moment, he was really angry:
"How many times have I told you that we have important things to do, and you can do whatever you want, and we can go our separate ways. Are you happy now?"
"Same for you, Mr. Shuangyue, why don't you listen to others' advice?" Jun Aoyan frowned helplessly and hugged her shoulders, "It's good now, we are all delayed here, even our weapons have been taken down!"
The soldier who took Jun Aoyan Mo's sword at that time almost fell down with the sword because he underestimated its actual weight. Compared to their angry emotions, Shuangyue Jun seemed as if nothing had happened.
"The royal city is not much different from the past. It seems that only the Temple of War has been built." He also walked to the iron fence and flicked it with his fingertips. "It is very old...the guard is very loose. It should not be a prison now."
It's just a temporary confinement for us, and he will always come to us to ask questions."
He spoke so lightly that the listeners' veins jumped. Qi Huan let go of Bai Ya and rolled his eyes: "I really want to believe you are so evil. I told you, you really screwed us up."
Bai Ya stood on the edge of the railing, glanced at it, and said coldly: "It's quite broken. If you take a knife, it will save people from getting moldy here. Just move it aside, don't blame the sword for having no eyes."
After saying that, he subconsciously raised his hand to draw the knife, but remembered that the weapon had been taken elsewhere. Only the Demon Sealing Blade was too short and inconspicuous. It was hidden in the hem of Lord Shuangyue's simple clothes and could not be seen. Pray
Huan suddenly thought about the arm wrestling between Jun Aoyan and Bai Ya when they came. Maybe they could open it with just their hands.
He had just recalled this, but who knew Lord Shuangyue was more patient than Bai Ya: "Do you think I can't break up?"
"We were brought here just because of the noise in the street. Once we went out, we broke out of jail without obeying the rules and escaped." He stopped his hand and patted the dust and rust on his palms. "Stop making trouble, someone will come to question you soon."
.”
"Hey, you said it so easily. Then just squat by yourself and leave him alone, Old Bai, let's go!"
"Where are you going? They are chattering and making a lot of noise. No wonder I have to arrest you..."
Suddenly there was a sound from the corridor outside. Several people stopped talking.
