Volume 1 Chapter 511 Ziyang City
Su Tang and the others had no intention of staying in Tianhui City for a long time, and the things were almost looted, and they also divided their respective shares, and Gou Erduo found a group of warriors, and sent their share and Qu Baobao's share to Hanshan together.
Yuan Hailong didn't move, and when he was about to set off, he affirmed that he didn't want his share, because the purpose of this trip was to find out the cause of Yuan Haifeng's death, and he didn't have the energy to sort out these things, and it was a burden to carry them, so he gave them to Su Tang.
Su Tang himself had another copy, plus Yuan Hailong and Wan Ke's, loaded more than twenty carriages, and headed for Feilu City.
However, Wan Ke exposed the other side of her nature, knowing that there were four great ancestors with Lu Dao, as well as the cultivators of Kui Xinglou, but she just didn't feel at ease, she kept the account books close to her, and every day before staying and before leaving, she would take out the account books and check them one by one, although it was only a simple inspection, but it would take more than an hour.
Su Tang was impatient, urging Wan Ke to leave quickly, every time at this time, Wan Ke would always look at Su Tang with pitiful eyes, looking like he was about to cry, plus Qu Baobao and Yuan Hailong spoke for Wan Ke, Su Tang had to let it go.
On this day, the convoy finally approached Feilu City, Wan Ke found an opportunity, and whispered to Su Tang: "Sir, aren't you going to see Sister Wenxiang?"
"I'm not going, it's a little inconvenient to be with them. Su Tang Dao, the current smell of incense is his weakness, and naturally the less people know about it, the better.
"Understood. Wan Ke was very smart and saw that Su Tang had some scruples.
"After you go back, find a chance to meet with Wen Xiang first, if there is nothing wrong with her, give her my share, if the power is powerful...... Then save my share to your house and wait for me to come back. Su Tang said.
"Quanjia?" Wan Ke blinked: "Mr. is too worried...... I've seen a few people from the Quan's family, and it's still very good. ”
"What do you know?" Su Tang frowned and said, the Quan family is powerful, and there is only one person who smells incense, whether the Quan family will regard Wenxiang as the leader depends on people's hearts, and people's hearts are often the most unreliable.
"I got it. Wan Ke didn't dare to continue.
Wan Ke led the convoy into Feilu City, and Su Tang and the four of them took a carriage and continued to travel north, passing through Red Leaf City and Beifeng City, and Ziyang City was in front of them.
In the carriage, Yuan Hailong fiddled with a swarthy pen holder, and among the things found from the Hao family, some of them were unknown to anyone and were registered on the no-list list, although Su Tang and the others were great ancestors, but they could not reach the realm of know-it-all, and they didn't know the way, so they could only figure it out slowly on their own.
"It's almost there, right?" Qu Baobao, who had just woken up, stretched.
"More than twenty miles to go. Gordo replied.
"This time, I can finally see your Yuan family's cloud car. Qu Baobao smiled: "Old Yuan, you can't be as stingy as last time."
"The cloud car is not mine, why am I stingy?" Yuan Hailong frowned.
"Cloud Car" Su Tang suddenly remembered that the last time he saved Su Qingxue in this area, he had heard Xiao Buregret say that there are Peng cars in the south dusk, which should be a similar kind of special spiritual weapon.
"Seriously, how many cloud cars does your Yuan family have now?" Qu Baobao's expression suddenly became serious.
"This is a secret, I'm afraid even the elders of my family don't know about it. Yuan Hailong said: "What are you asking for?"
"If someone buys one at a high price and only buys one, will you sell it?" Qu Baobao said.
"You fart" Yuan Hailong was furious: "Yunche is the foundation of our Yuan family, do you say to sell it or not?"
"Oh, what are you angry about? I'm just asking," Qu Baobao said hurriedly.
"Lao Qu, you shouldn't have asked, sell the cloud car, in case someone imitates the cloud car, what do you want Lao Yuan to do?" Su Tang said, as soon as the words fell, he found that the faces of the three people were a little strange, and he couldn't help asking: "Why do you look at me like this? What did I say wrong?"
"Brother Su, have you ever heard of the Iron Horse Thunder Xiao?" asked Qu Baobao.
"I have had a few unpleasant encounters with Xiao Xinglie, so naturally I have heard of it. Su Tang said.
"Then do you know the Tao but don't know the Dao, what does the Iron Horse in the Iron Horse Thunder mean?" Qu Baobao said.
"Iron Horse...... Could it be a horse made of iron?" Su Tang speculated.
Yuan Hailong and the other three people glanced at each other, Su Tang's hesitant expression, and tentative language, were all clearly obvious, and he really didn't know.
"The Xiao family has about more than 100 horses made of fine iron, although they weigh 10,000 catties, they come and go like flying, and it is said that they can reach 10,000 miles a day at the earliest. Qu Baobao said: "And the iron horse never needs to eat forage, once the knight recognizes the master, he can communicate with the master's mind and be inseparable, although I have heard of it, but, there will definitely be no fake." ”
"The iron horse of the Xiao family and the cloud car of my Yuan family are all gifts from the Jedi. Yuan Hailong said: "In today's world, it is impossible to imitate. ”
"yes. Qu Baobao said: "The Xiao family did a stupid thing a hundred years ago, they invited more than a dozen casting masters, and tried every means to cut off an iron horse, trying to find the secret in the iron horse, ......and the result? The iron horse became a pile of scrap metal. ”
"It's all the mysteries of ancient times, but unfortunately, it's all lost to this day. Yuan Hailong said: "For example, didn't you see those flying coffins in the Evil Monarch Terrace? If one day, you can tame the liver and some flying coffins like the Xiao family's liver taming iron horse, then your Qianqi Peak may have a chance to become the fourth great heavenly gate."
"Have you ever been to the Evil Monarch Terrace?" Qu Baobao showed a shocked expression.
"Of course I did. Yuan Hailong said: "The Evil Monarch Terrace is so close to your Xiaohan Mountain, don't tell me, you have never been there?"
"The divine thoughts contained in the Evil Monarch Monument are too terrifying and changeable, and no one knows when the Dao will attack. Qu Baobao smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, my master couldn't bear it, let alone me, I don't want to die young, go there to find death?"
Lao Qu is right. Gouerdo said: "Brother Su, to be honest, although we have all stepped into the threshold of cultivation, we want to tame the liver and refine the spiritual weapons of the ancient era...... It's too ethereal, it's not beyond the reach of you and me, and if you're not careful, it's a catastrophe. ”
Yuan Hailong smiled, he knew that the Evil Monarch Platform excluded all cultivators, but did not exclude Su Tang, that is to say, Su Tang was very likely to become the true master of the Evil Monarch Terrace.
However, this is a top secret, which can only be mastered by him and Su Tang, and he didn't even tell his family, let alone tell Gouerdo.
"So that's ......" Su Tang pondered for a moment: "Old Yuan, how is the cloud car at home?"
"There are at least nineteen of them. Qu Baobao smiled.
"Nonsense. Yuan Hailong said.
"What is the nineteen ......" Su Tang didn't want to show his ignorance, but he couldn't help it.
"There are countless cities and towns in the world, but only nineteen cities can be regarded as the real Shangdu, and we have two here, one is Shangjing, and the other is Ziyang City. Qu Baobao said: "The Yuan family has always been known for being well-informed, because they have cloud cars going back and forth everywhere. ”
"From here, you can see Ziyang City. "Goerdo said.
"Parking. Su Tang said, and then he pushed open the door of the carriage and jumped on the roof of the car.
The carriage was walking downhill, the coachman took a lot of effort, and reluctantly stopped the carriage, in front of him was an extremely vast plain, a grand, majestic city was in the middle of the plain, in the memory of the fusion of Su and Tang, except for the modern metropolis, most cities are not worthy of the adjective grandeur and majesty, but the Ziyang City in front of it made Su Tang's concept change.
There was still a long way to go, and Su Tang vaguely saw that there were several city gates in Ziyang City, and several roads extended from the city gates, passing through various directions, and this was only the south.
The distance between each city gate should be at least seven or eight miles away, and no matter how far away, some of them can't be seen clearly, Su Tang's calculation ability is very strong, and he quickly estimated the approximate area of Ziyang City, and couldn't help but gasp.
In the middle of the city, there was also a very tall building, some like a pyramid, which by visual inspection was taller than the hill at his feet.
Yuan Hailong and Qu Baobao also got out of the carriage and stood beside Su Tang, quietly looking into the distance.
"What is that place?" asked Su Tang.
"It's the Cao family's square tower. Yuan Hailong said.
"Cao family?" Su Tang suddenly remembered what Sikong had said: "Is it the Cao family of Cao Tuan and Cao Immortal?"
"It's not easy to control this Ziyang City. Qu Baobao said slowly: "Not only to get the permission of the Three Heavenly Gates, but also to maintain good communication with the Seven Great Families, to meet the sources of various potentials, and to make correct judgments in a timely manner, hehehe...... That Immortal Venerable is a great cultivator who is extremely powerful. ”
"As far as I know, the smartest thing Cao Bulao has ever done is not to get involved in the troubled waters of the emperor's family. Gordo said softly, "I heard...... At that time, Mrs. Cao died of illness?"
"He said that he died of illness, so naturally he died of illness, who would dare to care about the Cao family's affairs. Yuan Hailong smiled.
"Not only the Cao family, but also the nineteen seats can be mixed up, and there are no fuel-efficient lamps. Qu Baobao said: "For example, Shangjing Xue, who has accumulated a lot of money, and has been supported by the Helan Holy Seat, has suddenly become one of the seven great families. ”
"People say that there are seven great families, but in my eyes, there are only six great families. Gouerdo said: "The emperor's family has long been declining, otherwise it wouldn't have become someone else's knife handle, and now he has replaced the emperor's Shangjing Xue, hum...... It's not much stronger than the imperial family. ”
Yuan Hailong glanced at Qu Baobao, he was blaming, knowing that Lu Dao Gouerduo hated the Xue family the most, and he was still talking nonsense, which pot was really not opened.
"It doesn't matter who is strong and who is weak. Yuan Hailong said: "We are not here to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, let's go, let's go into the city." ”
A few people returned to the carriage, and the carriage continued to gallop towards Ziyang City, when it was on the mountain, it seemed that Ziyang City was already very close, but it took more than an hour to really run, and it took more than an hour to enter Ziyang City.
Su Tang jumped out of the carriage, the first time he came to this kind of place, of course, he had to take a closer look and take a turn.
The width of the street under his feet was at least forty meters wide, which was completely incomparable with the cities that Su Tang had been to before, and the difference was too great.
What made him even more jaw-dropping was that there were close to modern traffic rules, with a carriageway in the middle of the street, coming and going, and although there was a constant stream of horse-drawn carriages, everything seemed to be in order.
Yuan Hailong seemed to be a frequent visitor here, introducing Su Tang to the surrounding scenery as he walked.
"Who is that?" Su Tang pointed forward.
Seven or eight samurai came in the distance, all dressed in fiery red suits, and they were very conspicuous in the crowd.
"They are the warriors of the Cao family, responsible for maintaining law and order in Ziyang City. Yuan Hailong said.
"What do they care about?"
"What happens in the city, they almost all have the right to reach out. Yuan Hailong said: "No matter where they are, as long as there is a fluctuation in spiritual power, they can arrive at the first time." ”
"How many such warriors are there in the Cao family?" Su Tang could understand, his Dark Moon City also had similar regulations, and the Heavenly Martial Alliance of Zhao Dalu and the warriors of the Heavenly Machine Tower were responsible for patrolling.
"It should be around three thousand. Yuan Hailong said.
"So many ......" Su Tang was taken aback: "Compared with the Cao family and the Xue family, which one can be stronger?"
"Of course it's the Xue family. Yuan Hailong said.
"What if you compare the Cao family with the emperor family?" asked Su Tang again.
"Then there is no way to compare, let alone the Cao family, even the current Xue family. Yuan Hailong said: "After all, the emperor family is a thousand-year-old family, and when they tried to prevent the Helan Holy Throne from entering Pengshan, the emperor family dispatched two great masters and dozens of great ancestors. ”
Erdo said that the emperor's family had long since decayed. Su Tang said: "So...... The strength of other families is much stronger than that of the imperial family, right?"
"Of course. Yuan Hailong said: "The current seven great families, except for the Xue family, the other families all have saint-level cultivators, this alone is difficult for ordinary cultivators to surpass in their eternal lives, no matter how deep their heritage is, how many great ancestors they can cultivate, they can't change anything, without saint-level cultivators, there is no capital to fight." ”
"But I've heard people say that many ants can bite and kill elephants......"
"No kidding. Yuan Hailong smiled: "If there are thousands of ordinary warriors rushing in front, can they surround you?"
"No, you can't. Su Tang said.
"I haven't heard of any saint-level cultivator who is trapped by life and death. Yuan Hailong said: "You can leave when you see that the situation is not good, and then come back again, no matter how many great ancestors there are, they can't withstand a few rounds of consumption, unless they can stay in one place every day." ”
"Why not? The Demon Warrior Ren Yukou was trapped to death. ”
"That's different, Ren Yukou was plotted before, and the people of the Nan family also betrayed him, and used the dragon lance to seal Ren Yukou at the bottom of Guangming Lake. Yuan Hailong said: "And it seems that Ren Yukou was injured before he was plotted, otherwise even if they doubled their manpower, they might not be able to keep Ren Yukou."
"When Ren Yukou was plotted against him, he had been in retreat, how could he be injured?" Su Tang was surprised.
"Then I don't know what to do. Yuan Hailong said: "Su Tang, why are you so interested in Ren Yukou."
"It's not that I'm interested, it's that Xiaoru is interested, and all of what I know is what Xiaoru told me. Su Tang smiled.
As he spoke, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power in the sky, as well as a loud chirping, Su Tang looked up and looked at the clouds, a group of golden birds flew out of the clouds, those birds were very large, their wings were spread out more than ten meters long, and there were many of them, almost more than a hundred, more than a hundred big birds flapped their wings, giving people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun. Behind the birds, there was a very richly decorated carriage, and then the big birds swooped down with the carriage.
The flight speed of the golden bird was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it swept over Su Tang and the others, and crashed into the Caojia Square Pagoda in the distance, and when it was close, those golden birds flapped their wings and flew high into the air, and the next moment, a figure floated out of the carriage and landed on the spire of the Cao Family Square Tower.
"Why is this guy here again?" said Yuan Hailong with a frown.
"Who is it?"
"It's the South Twilight I told you. Yuan Hailong sighed: "He always likes to show off his power like this...... Sooner or later, there will be trouble in the future, and the Nan family can't cover the sky with one hand. ”
"That's the Pengche of the Nan family? I finally saw it...... Old Yuan, don't your Yuan family have a cloud car? Why do you want to take his Peng car?"
"Do you think that the cloud car can be sat on if you want to?" Yuan Hailong smiled bitterly: "Although I am a descendant disciple, I am not a long house, I want to transfer a cloud car, I have to ask for the permission of at least three elders, and I have to have the head of the family nod, it's too troublesome, since Nan Duyuan can send me, why should I ask for them?"
"Old Yuan, where are we going?" Qu Baobao shouted from behind.
"Let's go to our Yuan family's inn first, rest for a day, and there are some things, I want to discuss them with the third brother. Yuan Hailong said.
"Your third brother?" Qu Baobao showed a look of surprise: "When I was in retreat last time, Yuan Gang helped me a lot, and I didn't have time to thank him in person." ”
"There will be more opportunities in the future. Yuan Hailong said: "Within ten or eight years, he will not leave Ziyang City."
"What's the matter? did your family let him take over the stall in Ziyang City?" Qu Baobao's eyes widened.
"Actually, this stall belongs to the sea dragon. A gentle voice suddenly interjected: "Last year, his family asked him to choose one between Shangjing City and Ziyang City, and he chose Ziyang City, so I will come to the front station to familiarize myself with it first, and when Hailong officially takes over later, I will help him." ”
Yuan Hailong hurriedly turned around and saw a middle-aged man on the side of the street, looking at this side with a smile, he laughed: "Third brother, why are you here?"
"I didn't have anything to do and walked around casually, and suddenly I saw a beautiful young man with a personable demeanor and elegant manners, I thought it was a great character from which family, and if you look closely, it turned out to be the old seventeenth of my Yuan family. The middle-aged man smiled.
"I'm ......" Yuan Hailong immediately made a big red face.
"Third brother, long time no see. Qu Baobao smiled and said, "You only see one beautiful boy? No, you should have seen four."
The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Su Tang, Gouerdo and the others one by one, and finally landed on Qu Baobao's duck-egg-shaped head, and then sighed: "Baby, I can only admit that I saw three ......."
