Chapter 118: The Inner City
The angry laughter, accompanied by words, with an astonishing aura, was like a storm sweeping towards us, and before we could even react, it roared wildly, shaking each of us with a muffled snort.
Fortunately, this is not the kind of targeting in the first confrontation, presumably that kind of crushing targeting, even if that exists, it needs to condense the aura, so we just feel the body churning inward, and the chest is stuffy, but it doesn't hurt much.
And Zhu Zhuo was deliberately protected by me at that moment, and he didn't suffer any harm, but his face was a little pale, and after this momentum passed, he raised a little pale face and said to me: "I'm not afraid!" ”
I gently patted Zhu Zhuo's head and said to it, "Well, I know. ”
"There's no need to hurry, I really want to sit down and smoke a cigarette." Brother Chengxin said lazily.
"Another glass of red wine must be a relief." Xiao Chengqian also leaned lazily on Brother Chengxin, stretched his waist and said.
"Lakevillage is in a hurry, let's go, Inner City." I said lightly, and then turned around and left, I suddenly understood my master's feelings, when everything is on my back, I really can't stop for a moment, not to mention that over the years, my apprentice has always been his biggest burden.
Tired? Master!
The purple-red sky is like a sunset, reflecting our backs and the pace of progress, facing my cold 'incomprehensible style', Brother Chengxin smiled and complained: "It's time for us to make a move next, can't you take it easy?" ”
"Come on, I guess he belongs to the kind of person who watches comedies in movie theaters, and the whole movie theater is laughing, but he can only have cramps in his face and can't laugh." Xiao Chengqian added.
I understand very well that they are just trying to dilute the sadness caused by this scene of sacrifice and the heaviness of the upcoming war, but unfortunately I am sad to find that I can't fit in with that kind of pressure.
I have only one simple hope, no more sacrifices, everyone must be well, even if I am allowed to die, do not let me watch them die.
The inner city is famous in this city, Zhu Zhuo has longed for it for so many years, according to its words, even if we close our eyes, we can take us to play the inner city.
This time, it was no longer a fatal run, I was holding Zhu Zhuo and taking everyone with me, just walking quickly through the city, and the ghosts in the city had experienced such a 'change', and they poured out of the house one after another, talking about these changes.
There are fewer fights on the streets, and I don't know if it's my delusion, even those ghosts who are not very sober, I feel that they have become a little more sober.
Zhu Zhuo sighed comfortably in my arms, I was puzzled, and asked it, "What's wrong?" ”
"I don't know, I just feel that the breath around me has changed, it's cold and comfortable, and I can't say that it's not as good as before." Zhu Zhuo seemed to be quite addicted to this comfort, and closed his eyes slightly.
I shook my head helplessly, the time we entered the ghost town was very short, and our identity was special, we were all a group of cultivators, so the influence of its mixed yin qi on us was really almost nothing, so we couldn't understand Zhu Zhuo's feelings.
It's just that in my memory, this formation doesn't have the anti-heaven effect of purifying yin qi, so I don't think it's the effect of this formation.
But in any case, good changes always make people happy in their hearts, and this kind of violent and desperate city can have this kind of change, so that we who walk in it will also be in a slightly better mood.
When the hero is admired in the heart, sacrifice brings good meaning, and this is the best consolation.
Walking all the way to the east, I can't remember how many interfaces and alleys we walked through, and we finally stood in the legendary inner city.
"This is it." Zhu Zhuo said softly to me, looking up at the huge two words 'Imperial City' on the gate of the inner city, Zhu Zhuo's eyes no longer had any yearning, just a sense of tension full of hope.
I also looked at the legendary inner city, there were no buildings around it, and the buildings in the outer city were consciously isolated from it by a mile or so.
It has a thick-looking black wall, just at a glance it gives people a feeling of heaviness, on the tower, a huge brazier burns, and the purple flames are constantly swallowing, illuminating everything here.
Originally, it was shrouded in a black fog, but I really came here, and in the face of this huge city wall, the thought in my heart couldn't help but flood, against a city!
Before, I had a strong sense of powerlessness, but now, I quietly clenched my fists, the blood brought by those sacrifices was already boiling in my heart, and at this moment it needed a grand battle to vent.
Fighting, it's not all sin, as long as you do the right thing, as long as it's still in the name of justice, then move forward indomitably.
Thinking of this, I felt that my whole body was boiling, I put down Zhu Zhuo in my arms, took its hand, and handed it to Ruyue.
"Ruyue, you take Zhu Zhuo to stay outside the city gate and wait for us." I can't refuse to say it.
"Third brother, why? When I was a child, we took risks and caused trouble, and we always walked side by side. Ruyue's expression was a little dissatisfied, it could be seen that she was still eager to fight side by side with me, perhaps in order to continue the feeling of youth, life always keeps moving forward, but does not listen to the nostalgia of the past, no one can resist the fleeting regret of the scenery, but can only let the express train of life take us away.
"Because it's not a child anymore, and the situation of you entering the city with a spirit body is a bit special, and you can't fully exert your combat effectiveness." Speaking of this, a trace of pain flashed in my eyes, and I said to Ruyue seriously: "Ruyue, I don't want to lose anyone who is important to me anymore, even if there is a slight possibility, I want to avoid this situation, you know?" In the future, our road is still long, rivers, lakes and seas, and we still have many places that we have not yet gone, don't now, okay, such as the moon? ”
Ruyue looked at me silently for a while, and finally silently took Zhu Zhuo's hand, and then said to me: "Third brother, my mood is the same, be careful in everything, I am here to wait for you to be safe." ”
"Yes, it will be safe." I smiled and said to Ruyue, looking at Ruyue and Ruxue's 8-point similar faces, I was in a trance a little, if I will complete all the things safely in the end of this life, I will go to the Dragon Tomb again, just to see you again, Ruxue.
A thought flashed silently in my heart, and then I turned around and walked towards the inner city without looking back, everyone followed closely behind me, and the voice of Ruyue holding Zhu Zhuo became farther and farther away, but I felt that her gaze was still on us, full of worry.
Outside the city gate, there is not a gatekeeper, there is a huge black city gate ten meters high with a special metallic color, standing in front of us!
It was closed and became the first being to stand in our way.
At this time, Hui Gen'er had completely ripped off his upper body and was wearing only a pair of monk's trousers, he walked up to me and said, "I'm coming!" ”
I nodded, and Hui Gen'er suddenly smiled at me and said, "If I can't push it open, I'll smash this gate with one punch." ”
"Well, I believe." I said with a faint smile.
Hui Gen'er stopped being verbose, put his hands on the city gate, and then he roared, the muscles of his whole body swelled, and the city gate was slowly pushed open by him.
It turned out that the gate was not locked, but it was closed in this way.
Hui Gen'er didn't push all the gates open, but he was able to pass through them, so he stopped and said to me regretfully, "It's a pity that we can't break it." ”
"Why bother? Save that for a fight. I said lightly, and when I walked into the city gate, Huigen'er cheered at me, and hurriedly followed my footsteps.
The sound of our chaotic footsteps echoed in the empty passage of the city gate, where it was dark and we could see that in front of us was a huge square, and at the end of the square was a building resembling a palace hall, and on both sides of it were lined with buildings that could not be seen clearly.
I couldn't help but sneer, does the city lord here really regard himself as an emperor? Where does it want to be the emperor, this inner city is actually built in the form of a palace, but it is not exactly the same, after all, it is still a city, an inner city! It's not really an imperial city!
We quickly passed through the passage of the city gate and walked up to the square!
Naturally, a few people with relatively strong combat effectiveness surrounded a few who were not very good at fighting, but since they could get here, who really couldn't fight? Except for Brother Chengqing, he made me a little unable to see clearly, after all, judging from what he learned and his soul, it is difficult to say that he has combat effectiveness.
The sound of our footsteps echoed in this empty square, and we walked hundreds of meters like this, only to find that everything was quiet and terrible, and there was no movement around us at all.
Xiao Chengqian said next to me: "I have a hunch that it must be a stormy battle in a while." ”
I didn't answer, in fact, as soon as I entered the inner city, I really felt it, the yin energy here is purer than the outer city, I don't know how many times, although it is not completely pure, but I can already feel the more comfortable feeling from the soul, even if Zhu Zhuo said it was comfortable in the outer city, I didn't feel anything.
I pondered in my own question, but I didn't think that not long after Xiao Chengqian's words were finished, the lights in the inner city suddenly lit up for no reason, and purple flames lit up everywhere!
