Chapter 550: The Cursed Ancient City (Part I)
After bidding farewell to the city lord of Temur, Su Peng and Ouyang Qing left the inner city.
Temur Wan'er sent the two of them all the way to the outside of the inner city, and when they arrived at the boundary of the outer city, Temur Wan'er said to Su Peng: "Brother Su, I know that Adullah, since he went bankrupt, he has been in a blacksmith workshop in the west of the city, taking people to do some odd jobs to make a living, you can go to the west of the city to find him, as for those guards, I know where Ouyang Hero lives, and I will inform you when it is dealt with." ”
"Thank you."
Su Peng nodded and said goodbye to Temur Wan'er.
"Brother Su, be careful, the Jiluo cadre clan is not small in Qiuziqian City, if you injure the two sons of their big chief, they may do something to you, but you are not afraid of a frontal attack, but you are afraid that they will take the next three indiscriminate methods, frame or poison."
Temur Wan'er was a little worried about Su Peng, and said to him Su Peng.
"Hehe, these delicacies, we have been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, so we will naturally pay attention to these things, thank you Wan'er for your concern."
When Su Peng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Temur Wan'er.
"Well, be careful."
Seeing that Su Peng seemed to be prepared, Temur Wan'er was relieved and said to Su Peng.
Su Peng nodded, and Ouyang Qing said goodbye to Temur Wan'er and walked towards the west of the city.
On the way, Ouyang Qing asked Su Peng, "Brother Su, after you saw a few black-clothed people under President Yang, your expression seemed to be wrong, do you know them?" ”
"It's a long story."
Su Peng sighed slightly, and while walking with Ouyang Qing, he told Ouyang Qing what the True God Sect had done.
"There is such a person who has lost his conscience and done such a tragic thing!"
After listening to Su Peng's story, Ouyang Qing was extremely angry and said very indignantly.
Su Peng had long expected him to have this reaction, Ouyang Qing's personality was a little cynical but did not lack a sense of justice, which was a bit similar to some of the old and indignant young people Su Peng had seen on the Internet. It's just that Ouyang Qing is a bit more mature than those people, but he doesn't change the essence of this angry character.
Sure enough, Su Peng and Ouyang Qing said about the True God Sect, which made the latter's atmosphere abnormal.
"Brother Su, if this is the case, then this time when you go to the desert, if you have the opportunity, you can find a chance to kill those people from the True God Sect, such people who are inferior to beasts should not stay in the world."
Ouyang Qing kept putting his hand on the handle of the long knife on his waist and said to Su Peng.
"That's what I mean. It's just that although I recognize those people from the True God Sect, but the details of President Yang, I can't guess that the people under her are not just one party, and some other people, I don't think they are from the rivers and lakes, but like some warlocks...... I have a hunch, though. If you go to the desert this time, you will definitely have some conflicts with these people, and if so, it will not be too late to kill those miscellaneous members of the True God Cult. ”
Su Peng said to Ouyang Qing.
Although Ouyang Qing has a slightly angry personality. But he knew the priorities of the Dao, and this was also where he was stronger than those really angry youths, he nodded and said, "That's okay, but that's it." We seem to be inferior to each other in terms of masters...... In this way, I also know some friends and some bounty hunters in the city of Qiuzi, so I may gather some of them. If there is a real conflict in the desert, there will be no hurry. ”
Su Peng thought for a while and said: "That's fine, when we take over the guards of Qiuzi Qiancheng, I'm afraid it won't work with just one commander-level figure, I'm looking for a few more people to help with the fist, and we can also share what we have to do, the ability and strength of the people found by Brother Ouyang should be good, let's not be expensive, find a few who can get it, and the remuneration will be in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes." ”
"I think the same way, it just so happens that the place where those people live is not too far from here, we will separate here, I will go to find those friends, Brother Su will find that Adula, after everyone is together, we will meet at the Western Regions Inn."
"Okay."
Su Peng nodded, the two said goodbye and separated, Ouyang Qing went to find his friend, while Su Peng continued to the west of the city.
When he arrived in the west of the city, Su Peng found that it seemed to be an industrial area similar to the city of later generations, with countless workshops, brewing shops, preserved fruit shops, and other miscellaneous shops gathered here.
Su Peng inquired, and found out where the blacksmith shop gathered, searched there for a while, and was soon guided to find Adullah.
When Su Peng met Adullah, who was working in a blacksmith's shop, shirtless and with a sledgehammer, he was beating the red-hot scimitar embryo that had just been taken out of the furnace.
"Adullah, your luck is here again!"
The owner of the blacksmith shop who led Su Peng to come shouted at the shirtless man in his forties.
The man inside listened, threw the hammer in his hand aside, found a rag to wipe his sweat, walked out, and said, "What kind of luck?" ”
Su Peng looked at the man in front of him, and saw that this person was about forty-three or fourteen years old, of medium stature, but with strong muscles, and looking at his face, he was different from ordinary people, he had a pair of typical Western Regions eyes, the eye sockets were deep and deep, but the bridge of the nose was not as tall as that of the normal Western Regions, some Central Plains people had a collapsed nose bridge, and the chin was full of beards, and it was a bit of a big moon man at a rough glance.
Su Peng looked at this person's face and immediately understood that this person was a mixed-race child, and he had at least three more bloodlines on his body.
However, Su Peng Zhilu said that some mixed-race children hate others to mention this, because mixed-race sometimes reminds people of the scolding word 'mongrel', which is taboo, so he didn't mention this, but just smiled and said to this person: "You are the Adulla who led a caravan to survive the sandstorm?" ”
The mixed-race strong man stared at Su Peng for a while: "There are a total of one hundred and thirty-four people in the caravan, ninety-seven of whom I brought out alive, and thirty-seven of them died." ”
"This is already a skill, you are an expert who is proficient in desert survival, I need your knowledge."
Su Peng looked at the mixed-race strong man and said, "I'm going to find a place in the desert and hire you and your people as guides." It's a dangerous job, but it's just as rewarding, and I've heard that you're bankrupt and owe a lot of money, so help me do it, and I'll give you enough money to reorganize your caravan. ”
"How much does it get paid? Where to go? Looking for what? ”
Adulla listened, her eyes lit up, and she asked Su Peng.
"In the desert, looking for a legendary lost ancient city, the reward, pay five hundred taels of gold in advance before leaving, and another one thousand taels when you return."
Su Peng said to Adullah.
"Sounds like a lot ......"
When Adullah heard this, he seemed to be very moved, and said, "You want to find that ancient city?" There are so many legends in the desert that I don't want to look for a place that doesn't exist. ”
Su Peng listened, looked around, and found that there were a lot of people, so he used his ability to form a line of sounds, and used his internal force to convey a sentence to Adula's ears.
"The Ancient City of Forest."
Abdulla, who originally had no expression on his face, suddenly grew his eyes when he heard this name, and he looked at Su Peng with a dead gaze.
"Why, do you know this place?"
Seeing Adura's reaction, Su Peng sensitively felt that something was wrong.
Adullah stared at Su Peng for a long time, and then spit out a sentence and said, "You come with me." ”
As he spoke, he walked backwards and shouted to the blacksmith owner, "Brother, borrow a place." ”
"Go ahead."
The owner of the blacksmith shop shouted, and when Su Peng saw this, he followed Adullah into the room at the back of the blacksmith shop.
After entering the rest place at the back, Adullah stared at Su Peng tightly and said, "Why do you want to go to the Ancient City of Forest?" ”
"Do you know where it is?"
Su Peng was quite surprised, that ancient city of the forest prison, Su Peng asked Temur Wan'er, even people who had not heard of her so easy to obtain information, but this Adullah knew it.
"Know a little bit...... That place is legendary...... City of the Damned! The cause of my father's death is related to this ancient city of Forest......"
When Adulla heard this, he seemed to be touched by something, and said to Su Peng.
"Can you elaborate on that?"
Su Peng's heart moved slightly, and he asked Adula.
"This is related to some of my secrets, but since you mentioned it, I don't need to hide it, do you know the way, it is said that thousands of years of money, the Western Regions are not like this......"
When Adula heard this, he seemed to be caught in his memories and told Su Peng something.
Su Peng listened attentively to Adura's narration and gradually immersed himself in the story.
It turned out that Adulla was indeed a mixed-race child, his father was a mixed-race child from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and he came to Qiuzi Qiancheng in the early days, and was a caravan member, often taking the trade route between Qiuzi Qiancheng and Dayue Kingdom, but his father was an ordinary caravan guy, but an accident changed the trajectory of his father.
It was an ordinary trade, and Adullah's father followed the caravan to Otsuki, but on the way, after walking for more than ten days, he encountered a sandstorm.
The sandstorm in the desert, once raging, was extremely tyrannical, and almost all the people in the caravan were buried by the wild sand rolled up by the sandstorm and buried themselves under the desert.
Only his father, because he was clever, rolled up his body with a blanket in the cargo, and then rolled along the sand stream, so that he was not buried by the wild sand and saved a life.
And after the sandstorm stopped, his father was the only one in the entire caravan who survived, alone in the boundless desert.
His father was disoriented, and there was only one water bladder by his side, and the fresh water was only enough for him to drink for three days, not enough for him to get out of the desert.
Adullah's father has a strong sense of survival, and instead of sitting still, he is trying to survive by crossing the desert.
With the support of the water of this water bladder, his father persevered for five days, but still did not get out of the desert, but came to a deeper no-man's land.
After five days of barely eating and a severe lack of water, Adullah's father had a mental breakdown and severe hallucinations.
On the night of the fifth day, Adullah's father, in the middle of the desert, saw extremely realistic visions.
A huge city, towering over the desert at night...... (To be continued......)
