426 The Taibai Mountains are stacked, and the narrow roads meet each other
Taibai Forest is actually a series of snow-capped mountains that stretch for thousands of miles. Above the snow line, it is covered with snow all year round and is called Taibai. On the slopes below the snow line, there is a boundless coniferous forest. Therefore, this place is called Taibailin.
This Qianli Taibai Forest is the sphere of influence of the Crane tribe. In addition to the Crane Clan, there are hundreds of races and tribes of different sizes that live under the Crane Clan's wing as vassals of the Crane Clan.
Surrounded by mountain peaks, there is a huge lake like a mirror of the sky, with a radius of 300 miles, named Tianchi. There is an area within a radius of 100 miles in the lake, there are countless large and small islands, there are countless stone bridges connected, the whole is an ancient big city, named after the lake, it is Tianchi City.
Unlike the Two Realms City, there is no fee to enter most parts of Tianchi City. Nor is it forbidden to fly. Regardless of the race, as long as they agree with the Crane Clan's rule over this place, they can enter the city and mingle.
The Crane people have established strict laws to control the entire Taibai Forest, especially in Tianchi City. There are patrols everywhere in the city, and those who break the law will be severely punished. For example, wanton brawls in the city are not allowed.
If there is a grudge that must be settled, you can go to the fighting altar set up in the city to fight the law, and private fighting is never allowed. Therefore, a situation like the one in the Two Realms City that could be wiped out by the Xuan Bandits at any time would not happen here.
This, of course, will attract more families to come here to pass on and open up the door. However, the land in Tianchi City is extremely expensive, and even if it is purchased, there is a time limit. When the deadline expires, the Crane tribe will reclaim the land. This also restricts the living space of the alien race. As for the Crane tribe itself, there are tribes that allocate homesteads to them.
The streets are bustling with people, and although it is obvious that there are still many cranes, it is not uncommon to see a variety of strange races, accounting for almost half of the city's population.
Most of the men of the Crane tribe are slender and handsome, and the women are even more stunningly beautiful, like the Yao people in the Houtu Dynasty. It's just that they both men and women have a huge red crown on their foreheads, which is the legendary red crown.
They both men and women like to dress up with light pigments. The men's robe has wide sleeves and is personable. Women's embroidered skirts, the embroidery is also extremely elegant. There are very few people of both men and women who wear rude clothes.
And those who pull the fiber and support the boat in the water, carry goods back and forth, and strike iron in the street blacksmith shops, are all dressed in coarse cloth and short clothes, all of which are strange and strange.
As soon as the crane clan entered the city gate, five dark-skinned, strong, shirtless, and horned demon cultivators came over to help them hold the blue-horned lizards and lead them through the city.
Lu Bai glanced at He Yan, and a small silver flag appeared in his palm. He Yan glanced at the woman in the blue dress sitting on the blue-horned lizard sitting behind her and shook her head. The small silver flag is his identity flag, and once it is unfolded, it can save a lot of trouble along the way.
But he never revealed his identity to the woman he liked. If it is rashly exposed, I don't know if the other party will feel that he deliberately hides it and does not like it. So he thinks it's better to keep a low profile at this time, and wait for the opportunity to slowly reveal his identity in the future.
Lian Ling barely squinted along the way. But when she entered Tianchi City, she actually looked left and right a few times, and seemed to look at the rows of stone buildings in the city with interest.
These stone buildings are very different from the buildings of the human world. If it is the human world, the most important thing is the solidity and stability of the building. The stone buildings of the crane clan are carved railings and jade buildings, which are extremely light and luxurious, and some are even top-heavy. It was as if a gust of wind could blow it down.
Although seemingly fragile, these buildings are all forbidden to maintain. As long as there is a continuous supply of spiritual energy, it is indestructible. But the cost is obviously enormous. Thinking of the extravagance of these crane clans, Lian Ling couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
He Yan saw that this woman finally came to be a little interested, and he was also in a good mood. deliberately slowed down the blue-horned lizard and walked side by side with Lian Ling, and smiled at her:
"Qingping Fairy is the first time to come to Tianchi City? This city is the largest city in the Eastern Demon Realm, gathering all living beings in the Demon Realm, and it is still a bit interesting. Do you want me to take the fairy around these days?"
The sunlight shone obliquely on Lian Ling's jade-like face, and several fish scales on his left forehead shimmered like diamonds. In fact, in this Tianchi City, there are countless beauties of the Crane Clan, and she is no longer particularly conspicuous. But He Yan just thinks that the more he looks at it, the more beautiful it becomes.
But she was still as cold as a piece of ice that couldn't be dissolved: "Gongzi He is tired of carriages and horses, how dare Poor Dao work Gongzi? But I don't know where Gongzi went to buy a letter of recommendation? After Poor Dao bought this letter, he had to find a place to retreat and cultivate, and prepare for the Demon Ginseng Conference." ”
After Lian Ling entered the city, she suddenly had a whim, and she had already established a connection with the spirit of Gou. This shows that Gou Zhu is only a few dozen miles away from her at most. Sure enough, her calculation was correct, and Gou Zhu was in Tianchi City.
Although she could feel it, when she didn't want it to feel it, she couldn't feel her at all. This is because the power of her divine sense is far superior to that of Hook. In the union of the two, she occupies the absolute initiative.
At this time, it has reached Tianchi City, and the Heavenly Tribulation of Hook Punishment may have passed the early stage of brewing, and it will enter the point of breaking out at any time. Even if she is in contact with Gou Zhu at this time, as long as she doesn't do something that touches the cause and effect of the robbery, it won't be a big problem.
But she still feels that it is safer to stay on the sidelines for a while. So he didn't let Gou Zhu know about his arrival. But she also hopes to get closer to Gou, so that she can resist at any time when the catastrophe breaks out.
Therefore, she has decided that as soon as the letter of recommendation is in hand, she will immediately leave this group of crane people, go to lurk in the vicinity of Gouxu, and wait for the catastrophe.
He Yan heard that she didn't want to stay for a long time, so she had to nod and say, "Ahead is Hewang Mountain, not far away." My informant was already waiting there. ”
At this moment, a dazzling purple light swept in, and the street cars and horses hurriedly avoided it. Passers-by hurriedly moved to the side of the street and bowed down to the center of the street.
Hearing only the sound of rumbling beast hooves, a huge team approached in front of you. In front is a row of dark crocodiles, and in the center is a bright purple chariot, pulled by two giant snakes with black scales swaying on the ground.
There was a man in a white robe in the car, holding a purple flag in his hand. The flag emitted a dazzling purple light. Wherever it shines, all pedestrians avoid cars and crouch on both sides of the road.
The Crane tribe is similar to the dynasty of the human world, and it pays great attention to the difference between status and inferiority, and the order flag is the identity flag. There are four colors: gold, silver, purple, red, blue, green, and gray. Gold and silver are only used for the royal family, and since this team of people has a purple flag, they are already the prime minister and general of a very human minister.
All of a sudden, the center of the street was empty, and only the six blue-horned lizards of He Yan and others were left opposite this group. Among them, Xie Sihai rode in the front, and of course he would not avoid it.
The white-robed monk holding the purple flag shouted, "Who are you who dare to stand in the way when you see my Li family's car driving?"
Xie Sihai and Lu Bai both showed contempt in their eyes. But they didn't dare to reply without permission, and they all looked back at He Yan. He Yan raised his eyebrows and waved his hand.
Lu Bai understood, but he didn't say anything, and with a shake of his hand, a silver order flag was very smart, shooting out a dazzling silver light, and even suppressed the light of the purple flag in the opponent's hand.
He Yan originally didn't want to reveal his identity. But now that he happened to bump into this group of Li family, he was helpless. Wouldn't you bow down to yourself? What's more, there is a woman who loves her from the sidelines.
Of course, it is common for everyone in the crane tribe to travel, but they generally arrange the drivers and manpower according to their status level, so that people can know at a glance and there will be no chaos.
How could the family on the other side think that the prince of the Crane Clan was secretly traveling this time, so he rode a few of the most common blue-horned lizards on the streets, and they were at a loss for a while, and there was a brief panic in the team.
But hierarchical hierarchies are no joke. Even if they are in and out of the prime minister, they will definitely not be snub when they see the royal family who is naturally one level higher than themselves. In a few moments, the whole team split in half, and the heavy drivers all moved to the side of the road. Everyone knelt down on both sides of the road.
A father and son came out of the purple cart. One of them is middle-aged, with a mature appearance, a high forehead and a wide face, and heroic eyes, who is Li Rusong, a general under the command of the Crane King, and one of the twelve elders of Tianchi. The other boy was a head shorter than him, with a round face, but there was a look of unruliness in his eyes. But in the face of the Lord of the Silver Banner, they all knelt down meticulously and bowed their heads.
The relationship between Shizi and Li Rusong is not harmonious. At this time, he and his subordinates did not want to do much, and drove the lizard without saying a word. Lian Ling naturally followed. At this time, she suddenly heard a scream in her ears:
"Where did you come from, you dare to be worshiped by my son! Presumptuous! Don't let me get down!"
Lian Ling's beautiful eyes showed a look of surprise. Because the voice was directed at her entirely. She looked sideways, but saw the young man who was lying on the ground, who had now raised his head, angry, and his eyes burning with anger, staring at her fiercely.
Lian Ling naturally won't move. This matter has nothing to do with her in the first place, and it is also the matter of this He Yan Gongzi who wants to cause trouble.
Hearing this scolding, He Yan's face was also angry. He turned around, blocked Lian Ling behind him, and said angrily at the young man: "Li is suspicious, you don't have nothing to do!"
Li was suspiciously born in the general's family, and he was juvenile. Even if he kowtows to the son, he has no choice but to do it. But as a noble crane clan, he actually kowtowed to an alien from nowhere, and this humiliation made him angry and unbearable.
Among the Crane Clan, there are many heterogeneous people who do all kinds of hard work, but they rarely take them in the honor guard during their travels, just to avoid the embarrassment of the Crane Clan kowtowing to the alien race.
Even if they have to bring it, these aliens will deliberately avoid it when the lord's house is bowed down. But where does Lian Ling know these rules?
At this time, Li Rusong also raised his head and said expressionlessly:
"The old man is an old minister of the three dynasties, and it is the way of the minister to bow down to the prince. But today, this woman with green scales on her forehead, I don't know what her identity is, also made the old man kneel and bow once. If the prince of the world doesn't give an explanation of this matter, how dare I get up?"
