"Actually, it's very simple to say, this big market is not a market you imagine, in fact, it has an owner." The old man said the crux of the matter in one sentence.

"What?" I was going to take a fruit to eat on the long table, but when I heard the old man say this, I couldn't help but raise my head and shouted in shock, I even forgot to take the fruit.

"Yes, the Great City is a mysterious place, it is nothing more than a trading place unanimously decided by the top of the cultivators, this is every five years and these ten days, it is the Great City, and at other times, this place belongs to the most mysterious cultivators. This group of cultivators is the most resourceful cultivator in the world today, and their high-level is rumored to be the most likely person in the world to attain Dao Ascending Immortal and achieve metaphysical attainment, even these horses are also raised by the high-level of this group of cultivators, do you understand now? "The old man is not a person who likes nonsense, he is somewhat similar to Uncle Zheng in Lake Village, and he told the origin of the big city in one breath.

"This" I don't know how to describe the feeling in my heart, a group of cultivators who have been living in no man's land? It's something I can't imagine, it's enough to shock me, and I don't care too much about the adjectives that are put on them.

"This old man is telling the truth, and he is not half exaggerated, there are even more exaggerated statements in the remarks of the outside world, just like these horses pulling carts are actually about to become demons, just like the group of cultivators are actually all earth immortals, just waiting for the last opportunity to become immortals." As if he didn't think I was shocked enough, the big monk added a few words.

This made the apples in my hands roll to the ground, thinking of the emotions I felt about those horses, I really think that the rumors that the great monk said are not nonsense, of course, I also know that my spiritual sense is excellent, and it should be easier to feel some subtle emotions than ordinary cultivators.

"That's why people are eager to go to the big market, because if they're lucky, they can trade with those mysterious cultivators who were originally in the big market. Luckily, we only missed two days, and the climax of the real trading activities in the market will not be until at least 5 days later, I am really lucky, I was originally delayed on the road, I didn't expect to be able to reach the market tonight. The old man smiled and talked about something else, completely ignoring my stupid shock.

At this time, the carriage had already begun to move, and walking on the road in this no-man's land felt unusually smooth, but judging from the scenery outside the window, the speed was not slow, although it was not as exaggerated as the car.

It's hard for me to imagine how an average horse would be able to do such a road, even over mountains. It can only be said that the masters of this big city are too powerful to breed this mysterious horse that pulls the cart.

After the initial shock, my mood gradually returned to calm, after all, I am different from others, this time I went to the big market to find people, not to trade, no matter how mysterious the big market is, no matter how desirable it is, it has little to do with me.

In a calm mood, I began to chat with the old man and the great monk again, and I also learned a lot about the big market, such as the formation arranged in order to prevent ordinary people from breaking through by mistake, such as the car parked in the valley, it will definitely be covered with tarpaulin, and then add some snow and mud on it, also to avoid some eyes and ears, just like how to explain if you accidentally photograph a large number of cars parked there in the air

According to them, the big market is like a heavily guarded iron pass, which only shows its 'seductive' mask to cultivators, and strictly excludes ordinary people, and even legends are not left to ordinary people.

That's fine, after all, if a person comes into contact with a world that is completely outside the scope of his life, it is not necessarily a good thing, and it is a painful thing to know but not be able to integrate.

In the midst of such small talk, the carriage moved forward at a rapid pace, and did not slow down in the slightest until we were all sleepy.

I really admire it, at night, a horse that can run so well in a no-man's land, is it an old horse who knows the way? With that in mind, I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took before I was woken up by the old man next to me and said, "When you get to the place, the last remaining part of the road, no matter who you are, will have to walk." ”

I rubbed my eyes, which were still a little sour, opened the curtain of the carriage, and found that the light was dazzling outside, and when I got up, it turned out that it was the morning sun reflecting on the snow-capped mountains that had such a scene.

"Get out of the car." There was an indifferent knock on the door outside the car, and the great monk opened the door, it was really the indifferent person who said he would take us to the big city.

When we got out of the carriage, we found that everyone had already gotten off, and the indifferent people told us to gather and wait, and then we came to a few carriages, and I didn't know what to do, and the horses pulled by the carriages actually ran away on their own, and ran away into the distance

After all this, the indifferent man came towards us, did not speak, but made a gesture for us to follow, and then walked forward on his own.

I walked side by side with the old man at the end of the line, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I noticed the attitude of the indifferent person, not that I felt that there was anything wrong with his indifference, but the point was that I felt that he had a feeling of being superior and looking down on people.

"Old Su, what is the origin of this person who took us into the big city? Feeling bad about approaching, huh? I whispered to the old man next to me, after a night of getting along, I already knew his name and called him Su Lao.

"Shh Su Lao explained to me.

The big monk who was walking in front also heard our whispered discussion, deliberately slowed down two steps, walked parallel to us, and said to me: "You still have to learn to get used to it, otherwise you will be 'looked down upon' every five years, and that taste is still very uncomfortable, especially if others have the capital to look down on us." ”

I nodded and stopped talking, Su Lao was probably afraid that my young man would be arrogant, and whispered to me: "Actually, compared to it, we are lucky enough, he took us into the big city, otherwise the entry formation will be enough for people." ”

"What do you mean?" At this moment, we have advanced to the bottom of a snow-capped mountain, and we are walking around the snow-capped mountain, turning a corner, and finding that behind the snow-capped mountain, there is a large open space, where no less than a few hundred people gather, looking at us with envy.

"See? Here's why! Every five years, the big city is held, and the outside formation will be opened, leaving only the most basic confusion formation, but ordinary participants must break into the formation by themselves, and if they break in, they can enter the big city, and if they can't break in, they can only be trapped in this continuous snow-capped mountain range, waiting for the end of the big city and being rescued. Isn't it our luck that those who have invitations will be led to enter by another way? The old man explained to me.

As I spoke, I glanced at the crowd gathered under the mountains, but the crowd was so dense that I only glanced at it cursoryly and skipped it.

"Then they don't know to follow us on that so-called secret route?" After looking at the crowd, I couldn't help but ask, in fact, most of the cultivators have some formation foundations, and it is not a problem to break into a maze array (similar to the formation at the gate of the bamboo forest building) purely to cover the target, but this formation is so big, it is inevitable that some small mistakes will be made, once something goes wrong, if so, isn't it the best way to follow us?

"Who doesn't know this? But the secret route, even if I knew its existence, I didn't dare to break in! That's where the killing formation is really arranged, if there is no guide to lead it, who would dare to go? And that's the rule of the big city, only those who hold the invitation can take that secret route. Su Lao explained to me again.

"I was also lucky this time, I got an invitation, I used to walk the snow mountain formation, to talk about this snow mountain formation is simple, but it is not so easy to break through, one wrong step, one wrong step. It can be regarded as a screening of cultivators who participate in the big market, which means that not all cultivators can come to participate in this top market. The great monk also explained next to me.

As we spoke, we had been taken in the opposite direction of the crowd by the indifferent usher, into a path sandwiched between the snowy mountains, which should be the so-called secret route, right?

I looked up at the path, which was now interspersed between snow-capped mountains, and in the distance, it stretched around a snow-capped mountain, and the extension of the fork in the road, in short, it looked very complicated.

"By the way, why did those people gather there and not break into battle?" After stepping down the path, I asked one last question, and although I knew it was a bit wordy, I couldn't help but be curious.

"Only after noon every day can you enter the Snow Mountain Array, even if you hold a big market, this Snow Mountain Array will be completely opened after noon every day, remove a few formations, and close again at night. It's still morning, isn't it looking for death to break in? Su Lao explained to me.

But as soon as his words fell, the indifferent usher in front of him had stopped, took off the burden he had been carrying on his back, took out a long rope from the bag, and several strips of black cloth, and stopped and said to us: "I believe you all know the rules, so you don't need me to say more, right?" ”

Rules, what other rules? In my confusion, someone stepped forward and took down a strip of black cloth and tied it to my eye
