There was a red carpet along the way, and dozens of musicians played ceremonial music on both sides of the street, shaking their heads and shaking their heads.
Liu Shuzhu turned his head and looked at Yichen beside him.
Yichen looked confused and shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he didn't know what happened.
The last time we passed through the Mortal Crossing, the monks just walked out of the teleportation platform and did not attract attention. How could they have received such standard treatment.
Liu Shuzhu asked the person in front of him: "Oh, I didn't expect that I would be able to walk on the red carpet again in this life. In our Yongliang Mountain, it has always been used to welcome brides and brides. It only takes eight sedans. Your city lord
Sir, how did you know it was me who came?"
The man bowed his head to the ground again, respectfully and humbly: "The reincarnated body of a Bodhisattva is so noble. Wherever it passes, it can make it shine brightly. Even the scorching sun in the sky may be eclipsed. Who in the world dares to do so?"
Don’t you know?” The other party
Liu Shuzhu's natural demeanor and flattery made him feel very happy. In the past, he had always been the one to flatter others; now it seems that he is also qualified to be flattered. Moreover, he has to admit that the other party's
The standard is higher than him!
Since I have made up my mind to go to the city, I have to enter the city sooner or later.
After seeing the two verses on the city wall, he inevitably became very interested in the city lord who was a mortal. The current city lord is a perfection, and with that kind of strength, it is not a problem at all to occupy several big cities with weaker foundations.
, why is it trapped in such a remote place? It has been destroyed many times, but it can always be rebuilt quietly. There is something very strange in itself!
"Lead the way."
Under the guidance of the man, the group walked into the city.
Both sides of the street were crowded with people of all kinds. Many people had already gathered.
At this time, everyone stretched out their heads to see who was coming, but the city lord's palace spread a red carpet all the way and cleared the streets. This kind of courtesy has never been seen by ordinary people in the city who have lived here all their lives.
Saw it!
A young man in purple came, followed by several young monks.
Among them, there was a middle-aged scribe, with only a small part of his body left, but he was suspended on the ground, using glowing tentacles to move around, causing the crowd to scream from time to time.
The expressions of those warriors who had cultivated and reborn were even more shocked!
The ordinary people in the city have no knowledge of martial arts and live in a limited area all their lives; a city, for decades, is their entire life; whether it is a huge city or a king's soul, these are things that they cannot participate in. Warriors are different.
, although most of them did not have the ability to cross the dead line in the desert, nor could they join in the fun at the ancient burial site of the Buddha. Even if they did, they never came back, but they could vaguely guess the identity of the young man in purple.
"Do you think... could he be..."
"Isn't it possible? Didn't some rumors come back some time ago, saying that the man has died in the void!"
"That's right, look at those Supreme Martial Emperors who went to the West. How lively they were when they went there, and what happened when they came back. There was not even one out of ten! How could this young man survive in the ancient land if he only had innate cultivation!"
…
All attention.
Liu Shuzhu didn't want to create such a big fanfare. He returned safely from the void. The fewer people who knew about it, the better it would be for him.
At that time, there must have been many people in the ancient land who saw him taking the green lantern and the Buddhist utensil, and there was no guarantee that anyone could escape before the ancient land collapsed.
Those old monsters, once they learn that Liu Shuzhu is not dead yet, may even come up with ideas for prolonging his life, causing a lot of trouble.
"You mortals, how long has it been since you last built a city?"
Liu Shuzhu asked the question seemingly casually, but he was actually asking the man's words.
Since this man was sent to greet him, his status should not be low, but judging from his dress and demeanor, he did not look like the kind of person who had been in a high position for a long time. From the appearance, he was about thirty or forty years old, and he was dressed in a uniform.
He is dressed in coarse linen and has an honest face, which can even be said to be a bit of a philistine. He is always respectful and does not look out of place even if he is walking among ordinary people.
"I don't know, little one."
After a little exploration with my spiritual sense, I found that this man was actually a warrior in the acquired realm, not even an innate one!
"A few years ago, thanks to the City Lord, I was called into the mansion to help take care of things in the city. So far, I have never even reached the innate realm. I'm afraid you have to ask the City Lord personally before you can ask your question."
Liu Shuzhu was very surprised.
In this city, warriors and mortals were mixed together without any disharmony.
Those innate warriors jostle and rub shoulders with ordinary people, without any pretense or dignity at all. Even if they live together under the same sky, there is always a clear distinction between innate warriors and mortals. Once martial arts comes to the innate
, there is a huge difference from ordinary people. Warriors live longer and are more powerful. In the eyes of mortals, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are gods!
No matter which city in the Western Desert, it is impossible to see such a casual scene as here.
"Don't forget, this is a crossing for mortals. The supreme master of martial arts is also a mortal, and mortals are bound to die, so there is no difference between you and me."
Although the man's attitude was humble, there was a great Zen intention hidden in his words.
Mortals are mortal, and so are sages and bodhisattvas. How can there be distinction between high and low?
The ancients worked hard to protect the human race, wasn't it based on the concept that all people are created equal? How can there be no reason to respect the strong and not support the weak!
Liu Shuzhu immediately suppressed his contempt and replied apologetically: "It's my fault, please give me your name."
The man leading the way hurriedly bowed and said, "It's a small name and taboo. If I say it, I'm afraid it will offend the venerable's ears. Why bother talking about it?"
Liu Shuzhu thought to himself: I'm afraid that everyone in the world has missed it. This inconspicuous place has become more and more extraordinary.
…
In the main hall of the city lord's palace.
When Liu Shuzhu came in, he found that there were only four people in the hall, two men and two women, two eldest and two young.
Sitting in the main seat at the head of the hall was a middle-aged woman. She was dressed simply, with her hair casually tied to the side of her head, and no makeup. On the guest seats on both sides, there were a young man and woman sitting on each side; the young man's
Behind him stood a bald old man with strong energy and hunky muscles, but he was not a monk.
The young woman's facial features are small and exquisite, elegant and refined. She wears a colorful dress with clusters of splendid flowers, embroidered with brocade pictures of flowers in bloom.
Before entering the hall, everyone felt a refreshing fragrance in their noses.
On the colorful clothes, the sun is shining, and the gorgeous or elegant flowers are slowly blooming!
It must be a treasured garment that has been sacrificed by the most powerful, and its quality is even more extraordinary than the purple garment on Liu Shuzhu's body.
The young man was dressed in black robes, tall and impressive, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, with two shallow dimples always showing at the corners of his mouth.
The host, guest, and friends can be distinguished at a glance by looking at their seats.
The middle-aged woman who was dressed more casually, since she was in the main seat, was probably the city lord of Mortal Crossing. The young men and women were like distinguished guests here, sitting across from each other, and they didn't seem to be from the same power. Among the four,
Only the bald old man did not sit down and stood silently behind the young man, probably his entourage.
Liu Shuzhu's heart was awe-inspiring, and all four of them gave him an unfathomable feeling!
If a middle-aged woman is the lord of this city, then she is a Perfect Martial Emperor, and the bald old man looks quite young, so he must be in the realm of Zhenwu. Many big forces will send Zhenwu strongmen to protect the heirs of the sect, and the identity of the young man.
If they were noble enough, there would be nothing surprising about them. However, the cultivation of this young man and woman was also extremely profound, which he could not see through at all, which was a bit unreasonable.
According to Liu Shuzhu's combat power, the third level of heaven is already comparable to the ninth level. He is now the eighth level of innate. Even if he cannot defeat the Supreme Martial Emperor, he can still fight equally, and that is without counting the Immortal Finger!
He couldn't figure out what the origins of these two young men were, or were they actually very old but just young in appearance?
The smart man who led them in did not leave after entering, but bowed and stood beside the middle-aged woman.
After Liu Shuzhu and his party entered the hall, the man and two women who were sitting stood up each with extremely polite expressions. Only the bald old man did not take his eyes away and did not look at them, like a stone pillar.
"Junior Liu Shuzhu, please see the Lord of the City." Liu Shuzhu did not show any disrespect.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I have met the venerable sir."
The young man and woman nodded slightly, did not speak without permission, and stared at Liu Shuzhu curiously.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Liu Shuzhu did not hesitate and sat down at the end of the guest seat, deliberately avoiding them for a distance.
In my mind, I started to perform the Buddha-Destroying Mudra, ready to summon the rat soul at any time!
These people, with terrifying cultivation levels, were so polite to him, but they didn't know what their intentions were. It was necessary to be on guard against others, and he would not let down his guard because of the superficial politeness.
Yichen and others spontaneously stood behind Liu Shuzhu.
As for the Lord of Qingshan City, it should not be difficult for several people in the hall to see his martial arts realm, but they did not even look at him from beginning to end!
None of them seemed to care about his injury or the relationship between him and Liu Shuzhu.
The Lord of Qingshan City was secretly frightened. If it had been normal, he would have been so furious that he might have destroyed the entire city with just a wave of his hand. But now that his status is different from the past, he dare not express his opinion. Moreover, with his
With her martial arts realm, it is not difficult to realize that the female city lord of Mortal Crossing is indeed a Perfect Martial Emperor!
But here, the person with the most profound cultivation is not her, but the bald old man who always remains silent.
The bald old man didn't have any Qi leaked out, and he was well hidden, but it actually made the Lord of Qingshan City feel a burst of instinctive fear!
Just like the feeling you have when facing the mysterious emperor, the scimitar emperor, and the giant rat.
Could this young man’s entourage be a Martial Emperor!?
Liu Shuzhu went straight to the topic. After sitting down, he said to the middle-aged woman: "Senior greets me with such a generous courtesy. How can I tolerate this young man without virtue and incompetence? May I ask the city lord, what is the purpose of calling this junior here?"
