"What Fang Mu said is correct... Yong Ming of the Pu Qiang tribe, like Wu Sen, both practice with death energy, but it seems that they are obviously not comparable to Wu Sen." Su Ming murmured, and after a long time he looked back at the mountain peak.
He looked at the Hanshan City in the distance, stood up and took the next step, along the mountain road, towards the Handan City in the dusk.
"If I really refine the spirit-seizing powder, from now on, I will be in line with the identity of the evil barbarian described by others..." In the dusk, Su Ming's figure was pulled out into a long shadow, and there was a lonely figure in that figure.
There is also a firmness and persistence in Si Shi.
The evening sun, with its residual warmth, shone on this mountainous land. Su Ming faced the setting sun and walked towards the strange Hanshan City.[bsp; This city already looked majestic from a distance, but now as Su Ming approached, the city was already majestic.
The city looks even more majestic and astonishing. With the mountain as the city, the height of the mountain melts into pressure, forming a strong sense of oppression that can be clearly felt by all those approaching the city at the foot of the mountain. In addition,
The three mists surrounding this city have a deterrent effect. As a result, even people with extraordinary abilities cannot help but act cautiously when they come here.
Su Ming looked at the Hanshan City, took a deep breath, looked calm, and walked up the mountain road step by step. Under the Hanshan City, there were eight wide steps that went straight up, like the city that began to appear halfway up the mountain.
Eight door connections.
If you want to enter this city, you must go up the mountain steps.
Of these eight gates, only four are open to the public. The remaining four gates belong to the three tribes that control the city. The remaining one is called the Hakka Road. The mountain steps are connected to the road.
Only strong Hakkas from these three tribes can walk through the gate.
The levels seem to be strict, which highlights the strength of these three tribes and the desire to absorb the strong Hakka people at that time.
When Su Ming came here for the first time, he walked slowly along the mountain steps leading to the Belt-Seeking Gate. There was no one guarding the steps until Su Ming reached halfway up the mountain and saw one of the eight gates of Hanshan City.
There are two large stone statues about ten feet high standing next to the arch of this gate. These two stone statues belong to the barbarians and seem to be fighting. Although they are not moving, there is a sense of murder in their faces.
This door is framed by the two arms of the two stone statues smashed together to form the shape of the door. At that high place, on the door frame formed by the double splits of the two statues, there is a man wearing a
Kennian, who was dressed in gray robes, was lying there leaning back, with one leg pulled down and shaking casually.
There is a token on the waist of this young man, with a touch of red on the blue background. He has his eyes closed, as if he is dozing, and there is a green gourd in his hand. The smell of alcohol is scattered, and it seems that the wind cannot blow it away.
Looking at this gate, Su Ming had a flash of light in his eyes. This was the most spectacular city he had ever seen in his life. He deeply remembered the appearance of this city gate. Su Ming took steps and stepped directly through this gate.
, the moment he entered Hanshan City, a lazy voice came slowly.
"Do you understand the rules?"
The person who spoke was none other than the young man. The young man opened his eyes, took a sip from the green gourd beside him, and glanced at Su Ming with a hazy look as if he was drunk. Su Ming's clothes made his eyes slightly sober.
Su Ming looked calm. When the man spoke these words, he raised his right hand and with a flick, a white stone coin flew out and went straight to the young man, who grabbed him.
From Fang Mu, Su Ming had already learned that anyone could enter Hanshan City as long as they paid a certain amount of stone coins, and more and more stone coins would be collected according to the length of stay.
After collecting the stone coins, the young man threw out a gray token, then leaned there again, drank the wine from the gourd, and fell asleep.
After receiving the token, Su Ming put it on his waist. The colors of this token are black, red and white. Except for people from the three tribes, the others cannot use it. The Hakka strong ones have a blue background. According to the division,
Belong to different tribes, add one color.
As for ordinary people entering and leaving this city, it is gray. According to the luster on it, if it is dim, it means that they cannot stay in this city. Unless they spend more stone coins to increase their time, otherwise, once they are discovered by the guards of this city, they will
Will be severely punished.
And most of those who enter this city must wear their tokens in a conspicuous place such as their waists.
Su Ming remained silent, holding the gray token. After walking through the door and entering Hanshan City, a loud sound hit his face, and the silence outside the door seemed to be divided into two different people.
This aspect of the world made Su Ming slightly surprised.
There are many pedestrians in Handan City. In the city built around the mountain peaks, there are many shops and it is a bustling scene. The houses are also built of mountain rocks, and the mud and stone city cannot be compared with it.
Walking in Hanshan City, Su Ming looked around. Almost all the scenery here made him feel strange. The bustling and noisy seemed incompatible with his silence.
There are houses, shops, and even huge buildings that are more than ten feet high. Among the pedestrians here, Su Ming almost didn't see anyone wearing animal skins. The last one was burlap, and there were many colors, and there were even more unusual ones.
Like him, Shao was wearing a robe that was obviously much more expensive.
"Equivalent to the size of nearly ten mud and stone cities." Su Ming calmly walked on the mountain road of Hanshan City, his eyes scanning the pedestrians passing by.
"There are not many ordinary people here, most of them are barbarians...and their cultivation is not weak." Su Ming kept observing as he walked. Soon it was getting dark, but the bustle of the place continued unabated.
According to his experience in Fengyin Mud and Stone City, plus what he learned from Fang Mu, even though Su Ming came to this Hanshan City for the first time, he did not appear confused, but selectively observed and found out.
A place I heard mentioned by Fang Mu once was a loft designed to provide accommodation for outsiders.
It was extremely hot at this time, and Su Ming always looked cold. After entering, he glanced around and saw that there were many tables and chairs here. He walked calmly to an empty seat, and after he sat down, someone came with a smiling face.
After a few words of conversation, Su Mingshi came to an understanding here. He booked a room to live and rest in. After choosing some food, he ordered wine that was mostly on the other tables, and sat there, looking out the window.
As if deep in thought.
But his ears were listening to the conversations of people around him. Many of those words were useless to him, but there were also many that seemed to be talking about some subtle things about this city.
"In recent months, this Hanshan city should be more lively. The Puxiang, Yanchi, and Andong tribes have somehow increased their intake of Hakkas."
"You have been here not long ago. I don't know the details. These three small tribes are fighting openly and secretly. Every once in a while, the Hakkas will be more attracted by them. They want to learn from the Tianhan tribe in the past to strengthen themselves."
"But this is an opportunity for us. I heard that the Yanchi tribe selected ten girls from the tribe to absorb the Hakkas through in-laws. You must know that the women from the Yanchi tribe are helpful to our practice. This time Yanchi tribe
Ikebe has invested a lot of money."
"It's a pity that I'm not a strong Kaichen, otherwise, there would be more benefits. I heard that when Xuanren joined the Puqiang Tribe, the Puqiang Tribe gave him a statue as a gift!"
Time passed slowly. Su Ming sat there, drinking the drink that made him frown slightly. The drink was very spicy and made him very uncomfortable, but as he drank, he felt a strange feeling slowly arise.
, and gradually I got used to it.
He knew that everything here was unfamiliar to him, so after entering this city, he has been observing and listening. It has been almost two hours here at the moment, and the sky outside is completely dark, but Hanshan City is
It was brightly lit, and even in the attic, there were bright lights coming from several tall candlesticks.
While drinking and listening to the conversations of the people here, he learned more and more about Hanshan City.
"Fang Mu has hinted many times that if I join Andong and become a Hakka in Andong, I will receive great gifts and meet many conditions. There must be a reason for attracting Hakkas in this way." Su Ming took a sip of wine and listened silently.
Following Si Dan's discussion, there were fewer people around until midnight. He was about to get up and go to his room to rest. Suddenly his expression changed. Instead of getting up, he picked up the wine and took another sip.
However, he saw a person walking in from outside the door. This person was a man in his thirties. Different from others, the reason why Su Ming did not leave was that this person was wearing animal skins.
This was the first familiar piece of clothing that Su Ming saw in Hanshan City today. This man's face was a little pale, and he frowned tightly. After walking in, he walked closer to Su Ming.
I sat down on a table and chair in the distance, ordered some wine, and drank in silence.
His expression showed hesitation, hesitation, and a hint of panic.
"This person should be at the tenth level of the blood coagulation realm. He may even have reached the peak of the blood coagulation realm. He is only one step away from being kicked out." Su Ming remained calm. Although this big man had no energy and blood to disperse,
But Su Ming could clearly feel the faint pressure.
Another half hour passed. The man drank wine one after another without saying a word, but the struggle in his eyes became more and more intense. He even looked up at the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to arrive.
.
But as time passed, when he and Su Ming were still here, and even the waiter lying on the table fell asleep, the man looked disappointed and swept away as if casually.
After Su Ming glanced at him, he drank wine silently, and the hesitation in his expression gradually turned into determination and ruthlessness.
Su Ming didn't want to stand out, so he stood up and walked towards the backyard of this place. Through this period of observation, he had a good understanding of this place. He knew that behind it was a living and resting place specially prepared for outsiders.
He had booked a room before, and when he was walking away, suddenly there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing from the door, causing the lights of the candlesticks here to flicker on and off.
At the same time, a woman in white clothes walked in slowly. This woman looked young. There was a layer of white gauze on her face, so she couldn't see clearly. All she could see was her eyes, which were like stars in the sky.
