The dragon lurks in the abyss, close to the mountains and rivers, and the entire city is built with the towering mountains as its back.
There are solitary cliffs to the north, surging rivers to the south, and a vast official road running through it in the east and west, opening up the road to trade.
Longyuan City is one of the important cities in Qingshui County. Guarding the key position is like the seven inches of a snake. It cannot be easily held in the hands of others.
"The name Longyuan comes from the Qujiang River. This large river has nine twists and turns. It has undercurrents and is the gathering place of the Jiao tribe."
Wang Andao lay leisurely on the horse, letting the horse move forward slowly, and slowly explained to Tie Tang beside him.
It took the two of them two days and one night to finally get over from Yuncheng.
Although the night is dark now, they are about to arrive at Longyuan City, so they are not in a hurry.
In the vast darkness of the night, the full moon was bright and flawless, and the scattered milky white moonlight illuminated the big river in front.
Tie Tang raised his eyes and looked around.
The Qujiang River on one side is surging, majestic and boundless as far as the eye can see.
The faint moonlight falls on the river surface, attracting countless whitebaits, shrimps and crabs to the surface, swallowing the moonlight.
Qujiang in the dark night.
It's like a huge dragon, entrenched on the earth.
There are both treacherous waves and treacherous clouds on the river. The waves are mighty and the waves are crashing on the shore, which is scary.
"Old Wang, you said that since Qujiang is a gathering place for the Jiao tribe, can they go ashore on weekdays? What if they violate the law?"
"Of course they will come ashore, but it will still be relatively rare.
If there is a grand banquet, wedding, auction, etc., they will appear.
Some dragon tribesmen will take the form of humans to hide their identities, some will turn into bodies with dragon heads, and some will simply appear in their true form.
As for matters that trigger the law...it falls under the jurisdiction of the Control Yuan.
As long as you are under this starry sky, no matter who you are, you must abide by our human laws!"
Tie Tang showed curiosity: "So... maybe I can see the dragon?"
"You haven't seen it?"
"Have you seen it?"
"I've seen it before, but it's dead."
The night wind blew the weeping willows on the bank of Qujiang River, and the willow branches danced like a girl's green hair. It was supposed to be an extremely comfortable and beautiful artistic conception, but it was ruined by Wang Andao's words.
"Can you say no?"
"It's hard to say."
Tie Tang followed Wang Andao's example and lay down on the horse, looking up at the bright starry sky without paying any attention.
People should always have secrets.
Even if two people are close friends, they should maintain a subtle distance.
"Drive! Drive!"
The long whip was swung, and the sound of slapping the flesh came from the official road at the rear.
The group of people kept waving the long whips in their hands, and ran as hard as they could, regardless of the red eyes of the horses sitting down.
As the billowing dust drifted by, the group quickly overtook Tie Tang and the others, even nearly alarming their horses.
But both of them are accomplished martial artists. Even if they are lying on the back of a horse, they can calm down the horse with just a slight exertion of their legs.
"I'm rushing to be reincarnated!" Wang Andao cursed when he opened his mouth.
"Is your temper getting worse?" Tie Tang didn't care.
Wang Andao clamped his legs and sat up suddenly, shaking his head.
"Qi and blood attack the heart. Now my body is alternating with old and new ones. My control over the physical body is far less than before. It is inevitable that I have lost some control.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone out to play in the city before. Mental state cultivation is too mysterious.
When you reach the blood exchange realm, you should also pay more attention."
"Oh? Is there any explanation here?" Tie Tang has never heard of such a thing.
Wang Andao looked up at the sky and asked quietly: "Tietou, do you know why gods become gods?"
This sentence was a bit difficult to pronounce, but Tie Tang understood it immediately.
"Gods...are humans too?"
"Of course."
"But not all of them, there are also some great monsters, demons, and even mountain spirits and ghosts who have become immortals.
They don't count, but many gods were originally human beings.
Even if we are human beings, why do we call them Shinto Immortals?"
How did Tie Tang know this? He just guessed: "Maybe the sky is better? Or do you need some kind of substance to improve your strength? Or to get rid of the worldly affairs?"
"Maybe, actually I don't know!" Wang Andao said something very irritating.
"When I get to the blood exchange realm, the first thing I will do is beat you up."
"Ahem, just kidding. Although I don't know the whole truth, I have heard several speculations."
"Say it quickly!"
"One of the theories is that some people have reached a very high level in cultivation, but their mental state cannot keep up.
Because of the surge in strength, his mentality has undergone a huge change, and he no longer regards ordinary people as the same race.
So.
They ‘ascend’!
I got rid of my human identity and thought I had achieved a higher race."
Tie Tang closed his eyes and pondered, and after a while he said: "It's not unreasonable, but it's a bit far-fetched."
"Who knows, without saying this, Longyuan City has arrived."
The lights in front are brightly lit, and the candles are inlaid on the high cliffs, like stars.
Below are various pavilions and pavilions, some hanging high in the sky and spanning half of the city, some rising from the mountains, like giant swords thrust into the ground, and some rising from the ground, forming a pavilion of their own.
These buildings include buildings, stairs, corridors, gate towers, hanging towers, green towers, silver towers, star towers, Lingyan towers, Qiyun towers, Yuanyang towers, etc.
Countless beautiful buildings and jade buildings of varying heights and sizes stand in Longyuan City, which are completely different from ordinary cities.
The name of Loucheng is well-deserved.
At this time, in an eight-character gatehouse in Longyuan City, two figures were sitting by the window, looking at the rippling Qujiang River under their feet, and talking.
"Brother Yuan, you can't get away now. You've been manipulated. I'm afraid I'll be bossed around by that guy in the future."
"Isn't it a good thing you did?"
"It's up to me, right? Okay, let's all die together."
"Didn't you say there is a backup plan? Where are the hands? Where are the people?"
"Is it my fault? I can still control the lineage of chasing corpses? Who knows where he went."
Yuan Hua was so angry that he picked up a glass of strong wine and drank it all.
"Forget it, if you don't talk about these useless things, I still can't trust these ghosts and gods. They have all kinds of dirty tricks.
There are so many masters at Qujiang’s feast, and with just the two of us, I’m afraid we won’t be able to steal that treasure.”
Wu Qing also had a bitter look on his face and silently stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the food without saying a word.
"Still eating, still eating, think of a way!"
"I have to be a dead ghost even if I die. What can I do? Aren't you capable?"
Yuan Hua was so angry that she was shaking all over, secretly thinking that she was really blinded by lard and actually got involved with Wu Qing.
"It won't work if we force ourselves. The guy gave us two talismans. Maybe with these talismans... we can steal the treasure secretly."
"So what if we steal it? If we are forced to steal today, we will be forced to rebel on the spot tomorrow, and the left and right will still die."
Yuan Hua stood up suddenly, grabbed Wu Qing's hands and roared: "Hold it first, and wait for your second move, understand? Look at your hands? Where are your hands? Let me ask you, where are your hands?"
Wu Qing was so shaken that he was in a daze. He subconsciously glanced out the window and saw two figures leisurely outside the city.
