Chapter 144 Wufan City (2)
Optical illusion, in this geographical environment, is not impossible.
"We've been walking for so long, and we haven't seen a single person or a camel. How could there be a city all of a sudden?" Hairpin looked at him: "It's a bit strange."
Tian Fangfang clenched the dry sun axe around her waist: "It won't be the Devil's Nest, right?"
"I've never heard of Mosha's lair in the desert," Mendong wondered, "It's too remote."
Meng Ying looked at the blurry city in the distance and said in a low voice, "Whether it's the Devil's Nest or the Mirage, we can't stay in place all the time, it's better to keep moving forward, if it's a mirage, we will cross it. Go forward, if it is the Devil's lair, it is better to act on the spot than to walk aimlessly here."
"That's right." Mu Shexiao immediately agreed: "If it's really the devil's lair, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Taiyan sect disciples are greedy for life and fear of death, and they just sacrificed the blood of those devils to my God-destroying sword. He spoke confidently and had the style of the protagonist. Hairpin Xing wanted to applaud him twice in his heart, but Mu layerxiao looked at her again, "Besides, the younger sister now has the inheritance of Fairy Qinghua, and those demons are not. Her opponent. Maybe she can find the person behind the instigation of Yin Piao and destroy the evil thing Xiao Yuanzhu."
Hairpin Xing: "You really flattered me."
"Junior sister, don't belittle yourself." Meng Ying also followed: "You are the 'destined person' that the fairy predicted back then. You can finally save the lives of all the people in the world. Those demons are the most afraid of you must be you, this is destiny."
Hairpin Xing sighed deeply in her heart, she was destined to die within two thousand words after appearing on the stage, what she is doing now is to change her life against the sky, destiny is not so friendly to her, but she can't say this to others. Say.
Gu Baiying frowned: "Have you finished speaking? Hurry up after speaking. Even if it's a mirage, just say a few more words and the scene will be gone."
"Uncle Shi, do you still want to move forward?" Tian Fangfang asked.
Gu Baiying stared at the city in the distance and hummed: "Of course, the weirder it is, the more you have to find out. Besides," he glanced at Tian Fangfang, "Do you think there is any other way out now?"
Indeed no. They lost more and more Yuan Power in their bodies, and if this continued, they would become exactly the same as ordinary people. In this case, you will be hungry, tired, and thirsty, and before you get out of this desert, you will die here because of the lack of water.
The dignified monks, including the arrogant sons in the sect, were trapped to death because they got lost in the desert, and it would be shameful to say it out.
Everyone hit it off and decided to walk in the direction of the city.
This place doesn't seem far away, only a few miles away, but in fact it's been an hour and a half. There is still no one along the way. The golden sand under your feet is soft and dry, which is different from the clean and wet sand on the west coast of Li Erguo. . Like a golden boundless swamp, maybe at some point, it will pull people down into the bottomless abyss.
Getting closer and closer to the city.
The silhouettes of those walking are getting clearer and clearer, and you can even see the spacious and prosperous streets, as well as the cattle and sheep being led by the shepherd. There was a loud noise in the distance, like a lively market.
Does the mirage have sound? Can't remember the hairpin. And Mendong has been jumping for joy.
"It's not a mirage, it's true!" The child jumped three feet high, and the pink hair band seemed to be flying a little more than before, he said: "I saw people, this is really a city!"
"Maybe it's the Devil's Nest." Hairpin Xing poured cold water on him: "Be careful to take you away."
"If I want to arrest you, I'll arrest you first." Mendong puffed up his cheeks and stared at her angrily: "Catch the thief first, the king, you are a person of inheritance, of course they will arrest you, the fat sheep first."
Hairpin star: "."
Meng Ying said, "It's here."
The hairpin star looked up in front of him.
This is an old city.
It is said to be ancient because the bricks on the city wall are already mottled, some are covered with thick moss, and some are eroded by wind and rain, as if they have existed for thousands of years.
The city gate is a gray stone gate, thick and wide, with a portrait carved on the city gate. The long soft hair is lush like the waves, and it hangs casually on the shoulders. The makeup is rich and the eyes are full of beauty. He holds a blue snake in his left hand and a red snake in his right hand. The snakes are cold and treacherous, but the beauties are enthusiastic and gorgeous, intertwined with each other, with their own charming style, which makes people's hearts rippling.
"It's so beautiful." Tian Fangfang said sincerely.
Hairpin Xing asked back, "Is there any?" It reminded me of programs like "Beauty and the Snake" on the grass stage team when I was a child.
"I think it looks good too." Mendong pouted: "You are just jealous when you look at people's beauty."
Hairpin Xing: "." Men's thoughts are always a little elusive.
"Look at the words on the city gate." Fortunately, there was another man, Mu Zhangxiao, who was not shaken by his beauty. He pointed to the front and said, "It's different from ordinary."
Further up the stone city gate, there are also carvings of various snakes. The black characters carved in the center seem to be suspended in the air, and the whole is highlighted. The shape of the glyph is also different from ordinary ones, it is flat and long, and the color is dark black, which makes it more mysterious and mysterious.
"Wu Fan." Meng Ying said in a low voice, "Wu Fan City."
"Wufan City?" Hairpin Xing was stunned for a moment.
"You know Wufan City?" Mu Chengxiao looked at her.
"It was mentioned in the book "Amazing! One Hundred Fantasy Stories You Don't Know About Xiuxianjie" in the library before." Hairpin said: "The guardian of this city is the snake witch clan."
"Snake witch?" Tian Fangfang was shocked: "Isn't that the silver chestnut."
"Yes, it is the snake witch clan who trades with Yinli. It is said that the clan members of the snake witch clan can communicate between the heaven and the human world, and they are a group outside the three worlds. It is said that the city they guard is called Wufan City, but no one has ever been there. I have seen what Wufan City looks like, and it has never been recorded in the capital map." Hairpin star looked towards the direction of the city gate: "So this is Wufan City."
"Uncle," Meng Ying looked at Gu Baiying who said nothing: "Do you want to go in?"
Gu Baiying clenched the silver spear in his hand and said, "Of course you have to enter." He reminded again: "You follow me, don't take it lightly."
Such a legendary city suddenly appeared in the barren desert, and one had to be careful. After all, in that fantasy story, there was no specific mention of the temperament of the people in Wufan City, or what rules and taboos there were.
As they got closer, Hairpin Xing realized that this legendary city was no different from an ordinary city. Looking in from the city gate, there is a long road with various hotel vendors on both sides of the road. At first glance, it looks like Pingyang Town is not much different. The only difference is probably due to the wind and sand. The people here all wear long black robes with intricate and bright patterns embroidered on the black robes. There is a simple romance.
There were two guards with swords standing at the gate of the city, also wearing black robes, colored cloth scarves, and a little dark skin. When they saw the group of hairpins coming over, they immediately stopped them with their knives, shouting: "Who is it? How dare you trespass into Wufan City! "
Gu Baiying raised her eyebrows: "Passerby."
He didn't take any snacks in his answer. It was like a provocation. The pastor on one side stepped forward and said: "We are disciples of the Taiyan faction in Duzhou. We accidentally entered this place because of an error in the teleportation array. Please let the two of you go. Rong, let's go to the city for a night's rest, and leave tomorrow."
His attitude was much better than that of Gu Baiying just now, but when the two guards heard the words, their expressions did not soften, but they looked at each other, and their tone was still stiff and vigilant: "What Duzhou Taiyan faction, I have never heard of it! Wufan City will not accept it. Outsiders, hurry up and leave."
"How could I not have heard of it?" Mendong was anxious: "Taiyan faction, the only Saint of Feather Mountain who has ascended in Duzhou is our founding head. Saint of Feather Mountain has always heard of it, right?"
"I've never heard of this name," another guard said coldly, "Don't mess around, leave this place quickly, or don't blame us for being rude."
"Oh?" Gu Baiying threw the bone-embroidered gun to the ground and looked at the two of them provocatively: "What are you going to do to be rude?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Tian Fangfang approached Gu Baiying and said in a low voice, "Uncle Shi, those who know current affairs are Junjie. We have lost a lot of Yuan Li now. What kind of Lao Shizi Snake Monster Clan is here, so don't confront them head-on."
".It's the snake witch clan." Hairpin Xing corrected him.
"It doesn't matter whether he is a snake demon or a banshee, anyway, the situation has changed now, we can't be arrogant like before."
While pulling, I suddenly heard a voice from behind, with a bit of hesitation: "Brother Tian?"
A few people looked back and saw a little girl with a backpack standing not far from the city gate. The little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was wearing a small black shirt and flower tube skirt. The skirt was embroidered with peach pink. A small flower with a silver collar hanging around her neck. She was young, and instead of wearing a headcloth like an adult, she had a black braid hanging over her chest. Although her complexion is a little dark, she has almond eyes and a nose, pretty and lovely, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks, a real beauty embryo.
Tian Fangfang was stunned for a while before asking tentatively, "Little Douzi?"
The little girl named "Little Douzi" immediately rolled her eyes when she heard the words. She ran towards this side and ran to Tian Fangfang in one breath, her face full of unexpected joy: "Brother Tian, it's really you!"
"Junior Brother," Meng Ying frowned, "This is."
Tian Fangfang smiled and said, "This is my fellow countryman, who used to give me steamed buns, called damselfly. However," he looked at the little girl with some doubts: "Little Douzi, why are you here?"
"I live in this city now." The damselfly said with a smile, "Brother Tian, do you want to enter the city?"
"I"
"Yeah." Before Tian Fangfang could finish, Gu Baiying interrupted him. He bent down and stared at the little girl with a twitch on the corner of his mouth: "It's a pity that the guards won't let you in, what should I do?"
