Within the scope of this palace city, it is not as silvery as outside.
There is always a faint layer of black fog around the peak of Gufeng, which is very light, but when the silver light shines down and falls below, it has lost its original light, leaving the below covered in night.
However, the people here are no different from the daytime even if it is completely dark. After all, no one is a real ordinary person, so they have not encountered any influence. Even if everyone knows it, they don't care.
After crossing the empty area in the middle, Gu Zheng and Yan Yufei had already arrived at Nancheng.
This place is much more popular than Dongcheng. All kinds of people and monsters are walking on the streets. It's like a very large village, living together harmoniously. Of course, most of them are humans.
Those who were unwilling ran to Beicheng or became gangsters.
The only fly in the ointment is that, apart from soul sand, there is no need for anything else here, so it is not as lively as the prehistoric world.
More often than not, they stood together chatting, talking about recent topics, and trying to retrieve their own memories.
These people were all very mutilated, and what was left of them was some time before they died.
The arrival of Gu Zheng and the others attracted the attention of many people. Most of them were curious and not malicious. They could really talk about it, and the arrival of a new person gave them new information to talk about.
They were watching Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng was still watching his surroundings.
Most of these houses are made of black wood and hard soil from the wasteland. Of course, they are not as beautiful as the outside. They are at most a shelter. They are not as good as those in the East City. Most of them are built of stone over there. They look at least better than this.
The edge is much better.
The entire East City is very large, with hundreds of thousands of people living here, but it is several times larger than the East City. However, most of them take turns entering the lonely peak to collect soul stones. There is an endless supply of them, so at least there is no need to worry about the supply and consumption of these people.
Although these people do not need to eat or drink, they actually need to consume soul sand in order to maintain themselves. Otherwise, they will be as weak as a sixty-year-old man, basically unable to do anything.
At least if you don't need soul sand to replenish it for a long time, no one has ever seen it die, but if you can't move anything, you might as well die.
In short, the soul sand is the foundation of everything here, and the lonely peak is the lifeline of everything here.
There is a lot of black water in the wild, which is not dangerous for people above the Golden Immortal stage. If civilians go out, they will be easily blown away by the sudden black wind and disappear completely. It is not without danger, so these civilians can only stay in
This place is shrunken.
On the way here, Gu Zheng also encountered him several times, but he easily broke him up.
The only thing that gives them hope is that if they stay here for a long time, although their cultivation level will not improve, their memories can be slowly recovered.
After walking for a while, Gu Zheng didn't find any traces left by Pan Xuan, but he also felt that it was very stupid for him to do so. After all, he had to walk in a circle, and I might not be able to check it again in a few months.
"Master Gu, are you looking for something?"
At this moment, among the people passing by, a man came over and asked in a low voice.
Gu Zheng took a look and found out that he was one of Mr. Chen and the others, so they met here by chance.
"Have Youyou and the others gone home? What are you doing?" Gu Zheng did not ask directly, but Qi La asked Jia Chang, because he was more concerned about Youyou.
"We have gone back without any problems. In a few days, Mr. Chen would like to take Youyou to thank you. This time we have to rest for a while, and some other people will take our place. I am going there to buy some things."
The man replied.
"Shopping? Is this the largest and most prosperous place here?" Gu Zheng heard that everything was fine, and he completely let go of his last worry about Youyou. Hearing that the other party wanted to buy something, his eyes lit up and he asked.
"That should be the case. It's very close to the official administration of Nancheng. Everything is basically concentrated there."
"Okay, I'm bored too, so let's lead the way." Gu Zheng said as he took a few grains of soul sand from Gu Zheng.
"This can't be done. It's too frustrating for me. It's just the way to go." This man saw Gu Zheng's actions and hurriedly reasoned.
However, under Gu Zheng's insistence, the other party still accepted it.
Then Gu Zheng turned back, and under the quickening guidance of the other party, he walked for another full stick of incense, and his eyes suddenly became clear.
This is a wide place similar to a huge square. You can see more people here. In the distance there is a palace that is obviously larger than the one next to it. There is only a plaque with the word "official" on it. It is crowded with people and people are constantly coming in and out.
In the other corner of the square, you can see small stalls set up one after another. Each stall is very large. Even so, there are people surrounding it, chatting constantly.
"Master Gu, this place should be considered the most prosperous place. I will go and do some things first and won't accompany you anymore." The man said apologetically.
"Go ahead, please."
Watching the other party leave, he led Yan Yufei towards that direction while looking around to see if there were any familiar signs.
Yan Yufei didn't say anything along the way, looking around with curious eyes. Even though it was so simple, it still made her interested. It was too boring for too long.
There are not many in these stalls, and most of the items on display are mainly refined soul stones. However, the largest one is about the size of an egg, and there is nothing outstanding about it. However, there is also some black water in wooden bottles. Gu Zheng knows
There used to be a lot of black water coming out of it.
At that time, I am afraid that Wen Tianhou wanted to completely change the environment there to the same environment as here and control the people inside, but he was completely destroyed by his intervention.
The price of black water seems very cheap, and people keep buying it, but no one cares about the refined soul stones.
But the most expensive things are not these things, but very common things outside, such as a small decoration, which looks like something from a poor family. It is black and even deformed, and it looks a bit shabby, but the price is
It is very expensive and certainly attracts attention.
Who makes it possible that there are no outside things here? Whether useful or useless, everything here is a priceless treasure.
Gu Zheng even saw some magic weapons placed on it. The magic weapon was obviously good, but it was quietly placed on it by the other party. The price was not as good as the soul crystal, but there were so many people who saw it that there was no desire to buy it.
Because here, all the previous magic weapons can no longer be used. Only weapons made of soul crystals can be used. In terms of use, they are not as flexible as outside, but they are very lethal to them.
Gu Zheng was also puzzled before. When he met the gangsters before, they were all using bare hands, which was puzzling.
Later, I specifically asked Tietou on the way, and I realized the difference here. It was completely separated from the prehistoric world, it had its own system, and supplies were very scarce.
But there are also naturally formed strange soul stones that are refined into new magic weapons by those big guys.
As for ordinary people, a weapon is a luxury, let alone a magic weapon.
Gu Zheng only took a brief look at it and was about to leave. The magic weapon was good but he couldn't use it, and when he saw that it was damaged inside, he was not interested.
But just as he took a step forward, someone pulled the corner of his clothes behind him.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at Yan Yufei. It was she who secretly held the corner of her clothes, as if she didn't want him to leave.
"What's wrong? Is there something you like?" Gu Zheng's face didn't change at all, but he took advantage of the situation and said.
"I want that!"
Yan Yufei's voice was a little cold and unnatural, like the stiffness of not speaking for a long time, but he pointed at the magic weapon over there and said.
Although Gu Zheng didn't know why the other party was acting abnormally, he knew that there must be a reason for the other party to act this way, so he still showed a somewhat doting expression.
"You want it? No problem."
After speaking, Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at the stall owner in front of him. He was a man wearing a black hat. The aura fluctuations coming from his body were only in the middle stage of Golden Immortal. Most of the things in front of him had been sold out, leaving only a little black.
There is nothing special about water and that magic weapon.
"Friend, my sister wants this thing, can you take a look at it?" Gu Zheng said to the man in front of him.
He took it upon himself to treat the other person as his sister, which was better than treating her as a lover. The other person was a married woman, and theoretically, he was really qualified in terms of time.
"Can."
To Gu Zheng's expectation, Gu Zheng thought the other party was a middle-aged man, but he didn't expect his voice to be so clear and crisp, like a young man in his twenties, full of energy.
"Sister, come and take a look. If you like it, buy it back." Gu Zheng thought, but he still turned sideways to give Yan Yufei enough space.
This magic weapon is a pink ribbon, which is lying quietly on it. It is not very long. It should be a secondary weapon or something that can be tied to the wrist or hair. It is difficult to think that this is a man's magic weapon.
Yan Yufei's face was still cold. Even though he was a little unwilling to be called his sister by Gu Zheng, he knew that this might be the best way to call him. He came to the stall, reached out and picked up the streamer, and started playing with it carefully.
The man at the stall didn't say anything. He raised his head and looked at Gu Zheng and the others, and he didn't make any sales pitch, as if it had nothing to do with him whether it sold or not.
"How was it? Do you like it?" Gu Zheng waited for a while and then asked.
Yan Yufei nodded slightly, and then tied the ribbon on her wrist, leaving only a little bit of it fluttering in the wind, making her look like a dancing elf, which was even more eye-catching.
"Here it is, don't look for it anymore."
Gu Zheng generously took out the only soul sand he had and handed it all over. Compared with the other party's price, these were only a lot more.
The man was not polite and took them all directly. He then picked up the soul water in front of him and handed it to Gu Zheng. After seeing that the latter didn't want it, he gave it directly to the people watching next to him, which made the other person excited for a while.
Small fortunes come from heaven, thank you constantly.
He cleaned up the stall and left the place quickly. After a while, the place was occupied again.
Gu Zheng continued to browse other stalls. If Pan Xuan came to this place, the other party would definitely come here. Unfortunately, no trace was found at all. It is very likely that the other party did not come here.
.
Of course, it is also possible that the other person is still lost in the wilderness. After all, this place is very vast, but there are very few gathering places. It is possible that you are unlucky enough to not meet anyone for an adult.
It didn't take much time for me to get out of the black tower. Thinking of the ancient dispute here, I became excited again and decided to wait here for a while and leave my mark to inform my existence.
"Is there anything strange?"
After coming out of there, there were slightly fewer people around. Gu Zheng looked at Yan Yufei who was still studying the streamers and said.
"There...is a familiar smell up there." Yan Yufei was still thinking about it, and murmured when Gu Zheng asked.
"Isn't it still your husband's thing? Yes, the Black Tower is here, and the other party may have appeared." Gu Zheng couldn't help but say.
"No, it's the aura of those demon souls. Different from these, they are the demon souls that invaded my home!" Yan Yufei raised the streamer in his hand and tried to distinguish it.
Gu Zheng knew that she was very sensitive to breath. Even her husband, who had disappeared for an unknown amount of time, could detect it from the black tower, let alone the ribbon in front of him.
And the difference in aura she was talking about meant that the real demon soul was different from the one next to them. After all, if one makes a sound here and the other appears the day after tomorrow, there must be a difference.
"Are you sure? Did the other party get infected after killing the enemy? If not, something big might have happened." Gu Zheng's face became cautious and he couldn't help but ask.
"No, it seems that the opponent also has the aura of a demon soul, and the opponent doesn't look like the person fighting here."
Gu Zheng had told the other party what was going on here before, so Yan Yufei also knew about it, so she definitely said it afterwards.
"Really? It seems that things are going on here too." Gu Zheng thought of the people here and ordered everyone outside to be pulled back. I am afraid that there is a lot of pressure in front of him, and he sighed.
But in this place, except for the empty east city, there is no tension at all, and the information is strictly closed.
"Do you want to ask?" Yan Yufei looked at Gu Zheng curiously, wanting to know what he was thinking.
After all, they are just passers-by, and they will definitely find a way to get out of here.
"Ask, why don't you ask? Regardless of whether we are dead or not, at least we are still people here, not to mention that this is our resting place. I know this." Gu Zheng stopped and said seriously.
.
"But the other party has left. How can we find the other party?"
Yan Yufei felt slightly relieved, and then a smile appeared on her face that had never changed for thousands of years, and she looked very happy. What the other party did was in line with her own wishes, but then she had a headache because she couldn't find the other party.
"Don't worry, the other party can't escape, but let's go back first and leave a message to Tietou. We are looking for him." A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth.
His soul sand is not that easy to get.
...
Among the lonely peaks in this area, there is a cave opened separately, which is luxuriously decorated. The cave is fully decorated with various decorations that are regarded as treasures. If outsiders come in, they will find that there are many exquisite decorations here and outside.
The mansions are not much different.
There were several equally large rooms nearby. A tall man walked out with a frown. Through the crack in the door, it could be seen that the rooms inside were equally luxurious.
Except for a limited number of people, no one knows about this place.
The tall man sat on a chair next to him, and a beautiful maid walked in from outside, put down a cup of tea for him, which was rare in ancient times, and then left respectfully.
The tall man was not polite, he just picked it up and took a big sip. Feeling the fragrant taste on his lips and teeth, his frown relaxed a lot.
"Xu Jia, it's such a waste for you to drink like this. You have to know that the things delivered each time are limited, so you don't save anything."
Before the tall man could put down the tea cup in his hand, another man walked in and couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
If Gu Zheng saw it, he would find that this person was the person who spoke to him before.
"This is for people to drink. If it's wasted, it's wasted. The worst is, I won't drink it anymore." The tall man put down the tea in his hand and said nonchalantly.
"You're back from patrol? Things are easy for you."
"He has replaced me. By the way, I met a very interesting person. His cultivation seems to be in the early stage of Daluo, but he gives me a dangerous feeling."
The steward sat directly next to him, and then the maid came again and gave him a cup of exactly the same tea. He picked it up directly, imitated Huang Wei and drank it in one gulp, and then smacked his lips.
"It tastes good when you drink it like this, but it's better to taste it slowly."
"Huang Wei, who is the person you are talking about? Is he also the new helper that the adults have hired?" Xu Jia looked at Huang Wei and began to taste it slowly again. He poured all the tea leaves into his mouth in one sip and sipped it a few times.
After swallowing, he said.
"It didn't look like it to me. The other person seemed to have barged in alone. Then I asked, as if he was looking for someone?" Huang Wei no longer imitated the other person, but tasted it in small bites, fully absorbing everything inside.
The fragrance was released and I swallowed it.
"Single? So powerful, he couldn't be a dead person brought in by the adults, right? Didn't the adults come here some time ago, why did he disappear again? They should recruit more powerful combatants. These civilians are enough. If the adults are here, they can still
Ask." Xu Jia blurted out with surprise in his eyes.
"It's not like they died. It's different from those people. Although the other party is disguised, it is still a human body like us. It's better to wait for the adults to come back before contacting them. Where did the adults go?" Huang Wei said casually, not at all.
Care about what the other person is doing here.
"The other party fell from the channel opened in the front section of the demon soul. It seems that he was the one who stopped the demon soul's plan and was pulled down. I visited those who suddenly came back. The place where people were eaten has disappeared.
That's why so many people have come back. Before, we thought we were caught by the demon spirit, maybe it had something to do with the other party."
At this moment, a delicate female voice appeared in their ears.
The sound of the voice was accompanied by a more delicate woman who walked in. She looked like a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. Her eyes were also round and big, and she looked very cute.
But her appearance made the two men sit up straight and their faces became serious, looking serious.
"Stop pretending. Your Majesty has already gone over there. Who else can you show it to? Isn't it embarrassing?"
The girl rolled her eyes at them, but her tone was like coquettishness, which made people feel itchy in the bottom of their hearts. Her angry gesture could melt the hearts of others if they saw her.
"Miss Jiajia, are you saying that I really went there? Is it really going to happen this time?"
