The majestic city wall glows with a hazy blue light.

I stopped and stood in the middle of the road, not because I was intimidated by the grandeur, but because an inexplicable force stopped me from moving forward.

I looked up at the Ninghai City Tower in the fog in front of me, the extremely high city wall was made of neat blue and black stones, and a huge city gate in the center was open, and I couldn't see the real scene in the city, no one was stationed, no one entered or exited.

The years don't seem to have done anything to this city, but it has left a deep ravine, obviously after a lot of pondering, I don't know if there is the big battle with the East China Sea that Master said.

The castle tower is divided into two floors, and although the distance is not very far, it is so thick with water that it is difficult to see what is on it.

I looked back at the master who was slowly following, and wanted to ask him why Ning Haicheng didn't seem to welcome me.

Master tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to follow him.

With Master in front of me, Ning Haicheng seemed to have found an acquaintance, and the resistance in front of me weakened a lot.

The further I walked, the thicker the water vapor became, and I even began to faintly begin to see the walls clearly, and only the faint blue light that emanated from it could be seen. I hurried closer to Master, otherwise I would always have the illusion that I was going to get lost.

After a few hundred steps, the fog gradually faded again.

In another moment, I could really see the dirt on Master's green clothes.

Looking around, the barren scenery was not as beautiful as one of the ten outside the city, and when I looked back, the city gate was submerged in fog and disappeared.

At this time, I seemed to understand what the master said, after arriving in Ninghai City, there was a different world, could it be such a desolate cultivation realm?

Thinking of this, I really retreated, looking at the way it looks here, I shouldn't even be able to eat steamed buns.

I poked Master's waist, and under Master's disgusted eyes, I asked the question in my heart, "What's the situation?" This is the different world you are talking about, and it is too different! ”

The master pouted, "It's just Ningwai City, naturally no one takes care of it, and it looks a little desolate." Ninghai City is full of monks, how can they have the time to take care of this, the Spirit Gathering Array in the city has not let these plants and trees wither, it is already very good, keep up and don't fall behind. ”

The master looked so worried, even the things outside Liuyun City before didn't make him look like this, and he didn't know what monsters were hidden here.

The sporadic grass and trees lazily basking in the sun reminded me of the old people in Beishan, who were still a little homesick after a few months away from home.

Ninghai City seemed to have a divine power that aroused my emotions and tried to put it in front of my eyes for me to face it head-on.

Fragments of memories came slowly, accumulating, making my little head swell and ache, and I tapped my temples hard, and they receded like a tide.

I looked at the back of the Master in front of me, and I was a little dazed by this sudden change.

Master's footsteps were unhurried and did not stop, and I followed Master as I continued to walk into the depths of this desolate outer city.

There was no wind in the quiet outer city, and there was only the footsteps of Master and me.

The unknown grass and trees were jointed, and their heads were bent again, and a few small flowers proudly opened, then withered, and the seeds were sprinkled under the body, and disappeared.

As I walked, a fear of the unknown gradually appeared in my heart, and I walked a few steps closer to Master.

Master looked back at me, smiled solemnly, patted me on the shoulder, and continued on his way.

Empty, depressed, without a trace.

I don't know when my back was soaked, and the process of walking from the outside of the city to the inner city of Ninghai was not too far, but it passed in a trance for days and years.

The sound of grinding and grinding, the clatter of gold and stone, I can gradually feel the flow of breath around me, the broken stone steps are sparsely dispersed around, I sniff lightly, and the grass breath reaches my mouth and nose.

It didn't take long for the blue and black city wall like Ningwai City to come into view, and several monks holding spears and wearing dark blue armor stood outside the city gate, their cultivation was restrained, they couldn't see what realm it was, and their bodies were full of oppression, compared to a group of disciples of the Shaking Mountain Sect, and the eyes in the mask looked coldly at me and Master who were coming.

Master paused, straightened his clothes, and strode forward.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the monk did not stop him, nor did he say anything.

I hunched over, carefully tugged at the corner of Master's robe, and looked at the two of them nervously, for fear that the two tall and mighty-looking strong men would suddenly attack.

The master pulled the placket of his shirt angrily, turned his head with a smile on the two of them, looked back at me dissatisfied, and motioned for me to follow.

When I first arrived, I was inevitably a little nervous, swallowed my saliva, and tried to straighten up without looking at them.

It wasn't until I entered the inner city that I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

"Master, do you also owe them Lingyu, why don't they look like we're very happy?"

"What nonsense are you stinky boy!" I don't know why there was such a big reaction, Master's beard curled up, and he glared at me angrily, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense!" Don't look like you haven't seen the world all the time, you must always remember that you are the chief disciple of Yi Mingzi, the great elder of Lingxiu Mountain in my Taiqing Palace, and you represent Lingxiu Mountain! It's Taiqing Palace! Don't be wronged by your identity! ”

Master shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that the people in Ninghai City would not know who he was.

The number of monks in the vicinity is not too small, and although the inner city is not as prosperous as Liuyun City, it can also be called prosperous.

The cultivators who came and went were either armed with swords or spears, and many rode strange rides. Bing Ge mount, so not majestic.

They are not as luxurious as Liuyun, most of them have short shirts and tied hair, both male and female cultivators, and the few sons and brothers who look arrogant are not comparable to the outbursts of Zhou Zhu's big family.

The inner city seems to be built on a hill, with stairs stretching out into the clouds, lined with strange-looking shops, wineries and shops.

Tall trees, bewitching flowers, insects and birds chirping are extraordinary, and some of the ground is covered with layers of green vegetation, which adds all kinds of vitality to the streets of Ninghai City.

In the farthest distance that could be seen, four huge azure pillars stretched out to the zenith, white clouds tumbling above them, and the occasional pale golden roof tiles glowed white like stars.

I looked at the sky above me and felt something strange.

I asked Master, "Are we going to stay here for a few more days, or are we going to have good fruit and good food to eat?" ”

Master smacked his lips, and there was nothing he could do about my ignorance of cultivation, "This ...... The road after this Ninghai City is not difficult to walk, there are many Terran cities with the Sky Array, we can use it to save a lot of footsteps, and today I will take you around for the teacher.

The road back to Zhongzhou is thousands of miles, practice is practice, and heart refining is the top priority. When you want to get something, you naturally have to have the corresponding ability to keep it, and even let go of a lot of things, alas, what am I talking about, everything takes its time. ”

Master's inexplicable appearance made me feel that the whole way, from the beginning of my cultivation to the present, I didn't know what Master was going to do, and what could not tell me to this disciple clearly?

Isn't cultivation the introduction to qi refining, seeking truth, enlightenment, spreading the Fa, and attaining the Tao? It doesn't seem to be difficult, how to make it the same as driving fat pigs to the shelves.

The most important thing in practice is to be happy.

I hummed a little tune and followed behind Master with my hands behind my back.

To say that this is a cultivator's city is different, even the paradise of birds and beasts flying in the air has been occupied, and after a while, there will be monks who walk against the wind, and after seeing it a few times, they will adapt to this swishing environment, and it is not strange.

None of the shops here are selling, and the purpose of the cultivators is very straightforward, each taking what he takes, and trading fairly.

I heard the master say that this Ninghai City was once the fief of a certain sea tribe, and then coexisted with various ethnic groups to build a prosperous Ninghai City. It was only later that the Hai Clan rebelled and was expelled from Ninghai Prefecture after being pacified, and the Terran took over Ninghai City.

Looking at the various monks who came and went, it was still a little better for the human race, and the monks of all ethnic groups and strange ethnic groups were indeed unable to say a word or two, an upright cow, a three-headed dog, and a monk's beast-like body and human-like face.

I was sometimes curious about this one, sometimes shocked by it, and it wasn't long before Master and I were surrounded by a group of monks of different appearances, led by an old man with a deer's head and a bamboo cane.

I can still recall its voice, old and a little babbling, but still very different from normal Terrans.

Facing the "siege" of a group of unscrupulous monks, the master waved his sleeves, looked proud, raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Yi Mingzi, the great elder of the Lingxiu Palace of Taiqing Palace in the poor Dao, all fellow Daoists are blocking my master and apprentice from going to the road, what are you doing!" ”

Hearing Master's words, many people have already begun to retreat, but the elderly cultivator led by him still refuses to give up, "Yi Mingzi Daoyou, we are all mountain and sea cultivators, your apprentice has provoked me several times, is it too unruly to understand etiquette?" ”

The words of the deer cultivator were not wrong, which made me feel guilty suddenly, and I was about to apologize, but the master was unusual, and angrily reprimanded, "Don't understand etiquette? The old man's apprentice is the one you can reprimand wildly? Withdraw! ”

With Master's order, the invisible aura beside him bloomed, and multiple golden rays of light suddenly appeared under Master's feet, and a strong force shook the cultivators around us out.

I wanted to lift them up, after all, it was my recklessness that upset them. But just as I was about to act, I was grabbed by the master and walked up the steps without looking back.
