That night, when it was dark, a sword light came down from Jingyun Peak and fell outside Langya City. Upon seeing this, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I've met the Taoist priest!"
The visitor took out a badge from his body and said with a stern expression: "From tonight, Langya City will implement entry and exit control and night ban. Anyone entering Langya City will be allowed to pass without checking the customs clearance documents and identity certificates. However, when leaving the city,
We must conduct strict inspections at all times. Anyone who is not a resident of Langya City will be detained until someone in the audience comes down for questioning before they are released. Do you understand?"
The soldiers guarding the city immediately bowed and said "yes" and then the order from Jingyun Temple began to spread.
Langya City is not small, with a population of over one million, and more than 50,000 soldiers in the city. However, the entire town is dependent on Jingyun Temple. Normally, the Taoist temple will not point fingers at Langya City, but if something important happens,
If so, Jingyun Guan can take over the entire Langya City in an instant.
This situation is very common in Dongtian Paradise. Except for a few super cities that can form their own lineage in Dongtian Paradise, the vast majority of towns are attached to a certain Taoist sect or a thousand-year-old temple. Because these sects
The monks there all have strong combat capabilities, and the town needs security guarantees, so they will be affiliated with these sects. At the same time, they will make regular offerings every year, providing crystal stones or precious medicinal materials to the Taoist sects above.
Ever since Jingyun Guan issued this strict inspection warrant, Langya City has become tighter on the outside and tighter on the inside. All caravans or individuals entering the city will be allowed to pass, but if they want to leave the city, they will be strictly investigated and interrogated. If they are not residents of the city,
If so, the defenders will immediately seize him.
This is Jingyun Guan’s method and judgment. The Guanli believes that the person who killed Xu Liuyun must not be from Langya Mountain Cave Heaven, otherwise he would not have known the identity of the second master of Jingyun Guan, and the other party was in the desert after killing someone.
I definitely won't be able to stay there for long,
He has to enter Langya City to repair or purchase some supplies. He has only this way to go. After all, he can't go to the end of the mountain. So as long as this person enters Langya City, it will be difficult to get out. Then
You will definitely be caught in a trap.
At the same time, over a hundred Taoist priests who came down from Jingyun Peak that night entered Langya City and dispersed everywhere, just waiting for the person who killed Xu Liuyun to appear.
At this time, Xiang Que still didn't know that he was about to be locked up and beaten, because his understanding of the Cave Heaven Paradise was almost zero, and he had no experience or judgment. He had no idea that a crisis had already enveloped his head.
above.
Deep in the desert, under the sand where the bones are buried.
When the setting sun crossed the horizon, a pair of dry claws suddenly stretched out from the ground, holding the talisman that Xiang Que had drawn before.
After a while, a hole sank in the sand dune, and the boneless zombie sat up straight. He lowered his head and looked at the wounds on his body. The wounds had all healed, leaving only criss-crossing scars.
He withdrew his gaze, and then looked blankly at the talisman in his hand, and a trace of hesitation and confusion gradually appeared on his stiff face.
"Pa" the talisman paper suddenly broke from it.
After a while, the boneless figure quickly disappeared into the wind and sand, and jumped deeper into the desert.
Time passed. One day later, Xiang Que stood on the edge of the desert and saw the outline of the city not far away. The city seemed very large and the city walls were very high. Soldiers patrolling above could also be vaguely seen. There were people in front of the city gate.
In and out.
Xiang Que had only been to Baidi City many years ago, but he had never visited it much. He was captured and made into a young man, and then when he was in Molu Mountain, the place was particularly desolate and barren, so he came to Dongtian Paradise.
, Xiang Que had never seen many decent towns, but now he could not help but feel relieved when he saw Langya City in the distance, and he also showed a hint of joy.
Humans, after all, are social creatures. After traveling through the desert for almost ten days, we finally saw human habitation.
When Xiang Que entered the city, he was just like the two fools next door entering the city. Everywhere he looked was new and curious. He had the feeling that he had been transported hundreds of years ago. The city in the Cave Heaven Paradise still maintained its ancient style.
Style, without the cars and hurried pedestrians, there is no hustle and bustle of the big cities in the past, it seems that only tranquility is left.
Xiang Que strolled on the street, raised his head and looked at both sides of the street. There were teahouses, restaurants and various shops. He touched his pocket, and there was still some money in it. He came out of the End Mountain.
I brought them with me when I arrived, and some were found from the corpses in Jingyun Temple. The coins circulating in Dongtian Paradise are probably similar to the copper coins in ancient times. The ones with higher face value are gold leaves and gold ingots.
.
Xiang Que walked until his feet were a little sore and there was nothing new to do. It was already dark, so he found a hotel and got a room. After many days of wandering in the desert, his body was already full of rancidity.
The taste was bad, and since he hadn't eaten well for a few days, he now urgently needed to fix himself.
After opening the room, he ordered wine and food, and Xiang Que ate without hesitation.
Just after Xiang Que had just settled down, Master Changqiu led Yan Ruyu and several other Jingyunguan disciples who had been practicing in the desert back to Langya City. The faces of this group of people were not good, because they were embarrassed when they went out this time.
I went to my grandma's house, but not only did she run away without turning into a body, but Xu Liuyun still didn't come back alive.
After entering the city, the group walked through the streets and arrived at the center of Langya City, where is the city lord's palace.
In the city lord's mansion, Lord Jingyun stood in a hall with his hands behind his back. Standing next to him was the city lord Wang Liang. They were waiting for Master Changqiu to return from searching in the desert.
After Master Changqiu arrived at the city lord's mansion, they hurried over to see him. Before they could stand still, the voice of Master Jingyun floated over: "Master Changqiu deprived them of their qualifications as elders, and the rest will have to go to the back mountain to face the wall for three years."
, and was demoted to the third generation of disciples in Guanzhong...except for Yan Ruyu."
Yan Ruyu was the only woman in this group. She was expressionless, Master Changqiu looked defeated, and the others were also downcast, but they were not surprised by Yan Ruyu's special treatment.
Yan Ruyu came to Jingyun Temple five years ago, but she was not a disciple of the temple. Instead, she stayed in Jingyun Temple as a guest. She also learned the Taoism of Jingyun Temple, but was not controlled by anyone.
The viewer also looked at her with special eyes, and even treated her with a little courtesy. The viewers immediately realized that there must be something fishy behind this woman.
"Tell me carefully about your experience in the desert, especially when Liu Yun died..."
