"Master Gu, this is the checkpoint city. There are still many people left inside. We will leave when it is almost time to prepare. It is still early and it is still very prosperous."
At the other end, Gu Zheng and Ye Tian also came here, standing in the distance looking at the city.
In fact, many people stopped and stopped in different places, not knowing what they were thinking, but finally walked towards the city.
Gu Zheng was no exception. He just looked around for a moment and also headed inside. At the south gate of the city, there was a very spacious entrance, but there were no entrances on both sides. The whole city seemed like a huge swallowing beast.
, I saw people entering but no one leaving.
Ye Tian has been here several times before, and Gu Zheng also knows some of the conditions inside.
There is also a huge area here. Judging from the scope of the city wall outside, it is more than ten times larger than an ordinary city. This is still a city that was picked up temporarily.
When Ye Tian came last time, most of the place was empty, but some forces had already arrived in advance and started to build some buildings they needed. Even if no one had specific plans, they built various places.
However, in this city, other places can be used casually, except for the area near the back, which is a restricted area for everyone. That area is where extradition is conducted to enter the core, and has been taken over by the current guards of the underworld.
Those who trespass without any reason will be killed without mercy.
"Oh, it seems that we are not too late. I didn't expect to meet that little girl." As Gu Zheng approached, he saw a figure coming from another direction, blending into the scattered crowd, heading towards
Walk into the city.
Gu Zheng saw the other party's eyes glancing at them, and he didn't know whether he noticed them or not. He didn't react at all, but his pace quickened a little, and he quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared from Gu Zheng's eyes.
"Sir, if you want to go over here, you need to apply for a quota in advance, and then wait until the notice is notified before you can be taken there." Ye Tian followed Gu Zheng into the city and then said, "We'd better go and rest first.
, there should also be the location of Yunhe’s store, and other inns where it’s a pity to rest.”
"Go and apply for a quota first. There is no need to wait too long outside." Gu Zheng said without thinking.
The person he wants to find will definitely not be outside, and the chances are relatively small.
"Sir, please come here. Although I haven't been here for several months and have changed a lot, I still remember the general location."
Ye Tian seemed to have regarded himself as Gu Zheng's servant and worked very hard to guide Gu Zheng, talking about the changes around him as he walked.
What was once an open space was filled with rooms of various sizes. However, although the space occupied was large, there was still a large blank area. On the contrary, there were many rooms not far from these rooms.
The concentration of ghost energy here is very high, at least ten times that of the outside. In other words, this is the concentration outside before, but it has dissipated too much outside, and it is almost not even enough to maintain itself.
The ghost cultivators here are much more special. There are very ordinary ghost cultivators who are not very strong, just like the Qi training realm and the spirit transformation realm in the outside world. Moreover, there are more ordinary ghosts who are not ghost cultivators. Even ordinary ghosts are here.
Moisturized by the rich ghost energy, he also has considerable strength.
While observing the surroundings, he walked forward, but the further he walked, the fewer people there were. After about a stick of incense, all the buildings nearby stopped expanding, leaving large tracts of open space, and not far away
There are large areas of ordinary ghost cultivators gathered everywhere, seemingly waiting for something.
Seeing Gu Zheng's diverted eyes, Ye Tian also smiled bitterly, "I don't know what's going on. When I came here before, there were only a few people here."
Gu Zheng nodded slightly, saying there was nothing more, but Ye Tian felt in his heart that he should work harder. The changes here are too fast this time, unless he stays here, but in the future, he will know less and less things.
"We must find a way to find out some information."
Ye Tian secretly thought that although he didn't know the specific goal of Gu Zheng, he knew that the more he knew, the better.
Many of them had the same purpose as Gu Zheng. Some were new arrivals, and some had stayed here for a long time. They were all moving along this road, and now there was an obvious white strip of ground on the ground that went straight to
Toward the distance, as if guiding them.
With the flow of people, Gu Zheng and the others soon came to the end, waving and saying that it was an obstacle created by humans.
On both sides is an oval-shaped stone pillar, which is only half a person tall and does not have much aura. It is simply used to tell others that they cannot continue to move forward here, and in front of them, there is a temporary gap where many people are walking.
Get in line and go in one by one.
In front of the door, there is a simple table. A row of soldiers wrapped in black armor stand behind them. On the right chest of the armor, there is a six-color circle that looks like it is rotating on its own.
They are all the same, full of momentum, and each one has the strength of the peak of the immortals, blocking the way for those in front to continue to move forward.
When Gu Zheng arrived, there were already five people queuing up here. From the insider's mouth, he vaguely learned that this was an appointment to leave here. He really didn't know the specific time, so he randomly found a team and lined up at the back.
.
Even though the queue was very long, the speed was very fast. As the pace progressed, Gu Zheng also knew what was going on in front of him.
Depending on your own cultivation level, you can reserve the right to leave here by paying a certain amount of ghost coins.
In Tianxian, no matter how much cultivation level they have, as long as they have one black ghost coin, which means that they can gather it for at least a month or the first three months, they will be notified of getting on the bus, otherwise they will have no choice but to live in regret.
Outside.
For masters above the Golden Immortal level, they need to gather the gray ghost coins for about the same amount of time. As for ordinary people without any training foundation, there is no need at all. They only need to wait for notification, but the time is uncertain, and the earliest is half a month.
Half a year at the latest.
For them, it is just a time of waiting. Anyway, there is no thought of eating or drinking here. In such a rich place, it is enough to maintain their form. There are also a lot of ordinary ghosts waiting in a dark place. Of course, in this place
, with several designated areas, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but a little crowded at best.
As for going higher, Gu Zheng didn't know. Maybe they rarely met masters who followed the formal path. Anyway, he didn't hear the other party's detailed explanation.
If you are prepared, you can directly take out the ghost coins, and then receive a green bead. As long as the bead lights up, you will come here the next day. If you are late, you will not have to wait. If you are late, you will have to queue up again.
As for the lack of money, just tell the other party the rules here, and then let the other party leave. Whether you work for others or practice by yourself, you must have money before you can make an appointment.
But the only exception is ordinary people without any cultivation. They don't need to pay ghost coins, but they have to wait longer. Of course, if you have money, you can get the green ball. There is no need to wait at a specific place.
No matter what the other party is like, he still knows how to do it. What he did a few days ago, as long as he doesn't have a similar level of cultivation as himself,
Soon it was his turn, and he was greeted by a relatively young man. He was wearing a dark robe, not the one he had transformed into. There was also a six-color pattern of different colors on the right chest.
, forming a circle, but their colors in the middle are different from the armored guards. Perhaps this is a sign of distinguishing the other party's identity and status.
Gu Zheng already knew the process from before. He simply glanced at the other party, and without the other party saying anything, he sat down and put his hands on the other party's jade plate.
Regardless of whether you are new or old, you have to repeat it. The man thought that he had to say it again specially. Seeing that the other party is self-conscious, it saves trouble.
The man pointed towards the plate skillfully, and glanced at Gu Zheng specifically. At a glance, he saw the expressionless face of the other person, and his deep eyes, like the stars in the sky, which made it difficult to see the bottom. With just one glance, he knew that the other person was not
Ordinary people, soon a wisp of black mist rose from the plate, condensed into a thin black rope, and wrapped around Gu Zheng's wrist.
Gu Zheng knew that this was to test his behavior. If the other party could not see his cultivation level at a glance, he was at least at the immortal stage. After all, most of them were hiding their own cultivation level. If they looked over recklessly, they might cause some trouble.
.
They are not afraid, but there is no need.
Soon the thin black line turned into gold, which meant that Gu Zheng's cultivation level was at least at the Golden Immortal stage. As for the thin line, it couldn't be detected by such a simple thing.
"Senior, if you need to make a reservation, you still need some gray ghost coins and will not accept other things as collateral." The man took back the spell and said respectfully.
"Here are the ghost coins you need, and there are my men behind them, who will give them to you together." Gu Zheng took out a sufficient number of gray ghost coins, with a lot more, and smiled at the man.
These ghost coins had already condensed quite a bit while practicing on the road, and there were even some black ghost coins, so he would not be short of money.
But to be honest, the money is not of much use to him. After all, they are all exchanged by the same people. There are not as many things here as outside. The gray ones are better, and the black ones are mostly for low-level people and employees.
their payment methods.
The man tilted his neck. When he saw Ye Tian behind him, he could see the other person's cultivation level at a glance. Seeing that there were too many gray ghost coins in front of him, he also smiled slightly. He would also miss a lot. There were too few opportunities like this.
, and only this gray ghost coin can be useful to him.
"Okay, just go through the procedure and I will arrange your affairs naturally."
The man's smile became even brighter. Things that the other party didn't like were good things to him. He also understood what the other party meant by giving so much. He had done this kind of thing a lot. At the same time, he took out a small green ball next to him.
, continue to warn.
"Remember, after the green ball lights up, come with your subordinates the next day. No later than the afternoon. Otherwise, you need to queue up again. If nothing else happens, it will take about seven days."
Gu Zheng nodded slightly. The other party had obviously arranged a quick time for him. After the others took the green ball, they got up and left. While waiting for Ye Tian, they looked inside at the same time.
In fact, he could see a large open space inside, and further inside, there was a towering city wall that surrounded many places inside. There were only patrolling soldiers who came out occasionally, and some ordinary ghosts doing odd jobs inside.
, there is nothing worth looking at carefully.
"Master Gu, thank you for helping me." Ye Tian said gratefully knowing why Gu Zheng wanted to take him with him.
Gu Zheng shook his head and didn't say much. He could see the other party's caution and turned around to leave.
"Sir Gu, I have just inquired about it. Behind that house is a newly formed river channel of the underworld water. In other words, the entire core is bounded by the outskirts of the underworld water." Ye Tian followed closely, using the right words.
The voice said to Gu Zheng.
"Yellow spring water?" Gu Zheng was really surprised this time, and asked Sui, "Then where was this place before?"
"There is no difference between the road here and the road we walked before. All checkpoint cities are like this. There is a change in the back, and suddenly there is a river of water." Ye Tian thought that while queuing, there happened to be one behind him.
The person who was quite long gave the other party some ghost coins to inquire about the information, "We need to wait for a long time. Should we find a place to rest? Or should we go outside and take a look around?"
"I know that there is a gap not far away. You can enter through there. With your strength, there will definitely be no problem. You can also take a look at the water of the underworld. Other places are not safe."
"Go find a place to rest. A few days will pass quickly, and you just need to take a rest and wash away your resentment completely. Otherwise, you will not be able to recover your cultivation." Gu Zheng said lazily.
, and at the same time throw a new grudge-washing fruit to the opponent.
Although it can be washed away without relying on the Resentment Washing Fruit, it will take a long time, and Gu Zheng feels that he cannot wait for that time.
"Thank you, Master Gu." Ye Tian said excitedly, not expecting that Gu Zheng would give him another one.
"Don't thank me all day long. I hire you and you do things for me. You don't owe anyone anything." Gu Zheng curled his lips, but when he saw that the other party's expression did not change at all, he knew that he was talking nonsense.
Just when Gu Zheng was about to find a place to rest, in an ordinary restaurant near the city gate, near the window, a man and a woman were sitting there, with some simple things already placed on the table, chatting.
His attention was not here, his eyes were all looking out the window.
This location is excellent. You can see almost everyone who enters the city. Except at night and during the day, the two of them have always asked people here to reserve this location to avoid being snatched away. Naturally, it costs a lot of money, but everything is worth it.
They thought it was worth it just to squat down for the two people who ran away from them before.
And they are Sister Feng and Brother Shui. They have been guarding here since they arrived here non-stop. The other party has the aura left by Sister Feng. As long as the other party appears within a certain range, they can sense the other party.
I know it's within this range, but I don't know the exact location.
"The other party has entered my perception range, why haven't I seen the other party come in yet?" Sister Feng held the wine glass in her hand, but after half a day, she was still in the same position, and her fingers kept turning, showing her inner anxiety.
"Maybe the other party thinks it's too dangerous and isn't ready to come in at the moment. We've been waiting for a few days. Don't worry about it." Brother Shui comforted him, but his eyes were still looking down.
He knew that his method was very stupid. After all, the other party could completely change his appearance. If he didn't get closer, he wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.
"I feel sorry for the cost here. It's really high." Sister Feng, who is a bit stingy at heart, said with some distress.
"I know it too, but thinking about it carefully, as long as we catch the other party, what does this mean to us? Now that we have sensed the other party's traces, the other party will have to come in within seven days at most. Have you forgotten the chaos that happened once every three months?
That day is coming, and now it is getting more and more dangerous, and you will have a narrow escape from death outside." Brother Shui, who is slightly better than Sister Feng, still knows his priorities well, and gives up when he needs to.
"I almost forgot that the other party wants to find a safe place these days and has no choice at all." Sister Shui paused and a smile appeared on her face.
"I'm going to find one of our people and ask him to go back and inform Xiong Ba. In this way, he will definitely come here if he chooses. After all, there are soldiers here, so it is relatively safe." Brother Shui's eyes became brighter as he spoke and stood up.
Just as he was about to implement his plan, he casually rolled his eyes outward and stopped moving immediately.
"Why aren't you still? Go quickly." Sister Shui didn't realize how serious she was and urged her.
"Look, is that tall man the same man from before?" Brother Shui suddenly said.
Sister Shui followed the other person's gaze and found a burly man walking around looking left and right, as if he was worried that someone was following him, but she didn't know that he would draw more attention to him.
The more Sister Shui looked at it, the more familiar she felt. "Although this one looks different and has some bone problems, it is very rare to see such a tall man, so it is very possible."
"What about him and his companions?" Brother Shui didn't care about him. It was mainly his companions who had those things in her hands.
"You are stupid. The other party was obviously out to be careful and separated outside. The other party is dressing up a little, so it is easy to fool them. But he is not sure. Maybe he is trying to find a way." Sister Feng's mind started to spin crazily.
In the blink of an eye, you know what to do.
"You go to follow him, and I'm here to guard him. No matter what tricks the other party plays, it's impossible to escape."
"Good idea, I'll go spy on him right now."
When Brother Shui heard this, he knew that this was the safest way to pay attention. Anyway, once the other party came in, it would be very expensive to get out, and it would take a day to prepare, enough for them to determine their location.
Brother Shui carefully followed the other party, and soon followed him to a resting place not far away, a place of great influence, with a height of three floors, and there were several three-story high-rises, and others were at most
Just two floors.
After seeing the other party go in, Brother Shui stopped following him, because no outsider could enter here except the residents. The protection was very strict. Anyone who dared to sabotage here would be in trouble with the boss behind the scenes. If the boss was angry, he would naturally
He vents his anger on those who make him angry.
With his strength, he would undoubtedly be able to knock an egg against a rock or a mayfly to shake a tree, so naturally he would not act rationally.
After seeing a slightly familiar woman welcoming him in, he left with satisfaction.
If his judgment was correct, that woman was the woman who had disguised herself as the old man before. When the two were put together, he was 90% sure that it was the other woman.
The next step is to go back and meet up with Sister Feng, monitor each other together, and then find an opportunity to trick the other party out. He has already planned this method, but it is definitely not where they live.
