Chapter 1058 and 9 Lantern Festival

His name is indeed Chu Cheng. But he is not a Chu City Lord.

When I first arrived, I didn't even enter the city. How can he be the lord of this city?

"You have recognized the wrong person, my name is Chu Cheng, but I am not your city lord. ”

When the old man on the city wall heard this, he looked at the scroll in his hand again, looked carefully at the man in the scroll, and raised his head again in awe.

"Wei Ke exterminates the ghosts. Mingchu Cheng... There is nothing wrong with that. You are the great lord of my Escape City. ”

"Great City Lord?" Chu Cheng frowned again, and suddenly thought of something. He said, "Isn't there more than one city lord in your city, and how many other city lords are related to me?"

The old man nodded and replied, "Originally, there was only one city lord in my Xiaoyao City, but later due to the arrival of the city lord of Mo, I voluntarily demoted to the rank of young city lord. ”

"What a mess of the city lord and the young city lord. At this moment, the sword master spoke. said: "I'm afraid these people have a hole in their brains. Don't ink with them, go into the city early, and take advantage of the darkness of the night to go into the city to see the flower girls. ”

"I haven't seen a girl for more than three years, and I am also itching in my heart. It's a no-brainer, but it's great to see. ”

Jian Ye urged Chu Cheng to enter the city quickly, and wait for everyone to enter the house, then at least wait until dawn to see the girl who looks like a flower and jade.

This voice appeared out of thin air, which also made those people stunned. But it quickly turned to a smile again.

"Sword Master, Chu City Lord, the voice before was from the big sword behind you?"

These Daoist cultivators, even if they learned that the Sword Master was like a magic sword that was like a human wisdom and peeked at him, Chu Cheng didn't worry about anything. So he nodded and said, "Yes, the sword that can talk is this sword." ”

"Sure enough, it's the Sword City Lord!" the old man put away the scroll in his hand, and then picked up another scroll and spread it out to look at it.

"Sword City Lord, don't worry, let's get away with the city. There is an immortal array layout, and those low-level ghosts are not allowed to enter. Even if you are a high-level ghost immortal, it is difficult to attack the city lord. ”

"So, it's night. The people of the city will also come out and walk around. It just so happens that there is a lantern festival tonight, and there are many talented and beautiful people. The sword city lord doesn't have to worry about having no woman. ”

"Sword City Lord, Sword Master, I have become a City Lord?"

Chu Cheng smiled and walked forward. The two sides are talking to each other in the air, and there are still dozens of miles away from the city gate.

Just one step, you will be in front of the city gate.

"Within a radius of fifty miles, two immortal arrays were opened. Both formations are offensive and defensive formations. Under the two formations, even the ghosts and immortals in the middle of Xuanzhao can't attack. ”

"Three years ago, I felt that the most powerful aura in this city was only the Tribulation Realm. And who laid down these two formations?"

If you don't step into the second step, no matter how deep the Fu Array attainments, you can't lay down the Immortal Array without the power of Xuanyuan, at most it's just a half-step Immortal Array.

Although it is only one word different from the immortal array, the power cannot be compared at all. The half-step immortal formation is only slightly stronger than the peak formation of humanity, and even if it is a monk of the Three Realms, it can be broken.

Just like when Chu Cheng did not enter the Xuan, he could only use the means to enter the half-step immortal level.

When Chu Cheng came to the city gate, he instantly heard a dull sound, and the city gate slowly opened.

The dozens of monks hurriedly flew down from the city wall, and before Chu Cheng could walk in, they came out of the city gate to greet them.

"We welcome the Chu City Lord and the Sword City Lord!"

The dozens of monks, led by the old man, saluted and received them with great respect.

Chu Cheng nodded and glanced at these people.

This is the north gate, which is garrisoned by thirty-three monks. These monks are already considered to be highly cultivated in humanity. All of them are above the merger realm, and most of them are in the late stage of merging.

Three of them are already in the Mahayana realm. The old man who was the leader had the highest cultivation among these people, reaching the middle stage of Mahayana.

These people, like the monks they met in Zhouzhuang, were all pale and had a looming ghost aura on their bodies. It's all ghost cultivation.

The monks of the Netherworld are afraid of ghosts. But he also longs for ghosts, and if he can make a contract with powerful ghosts, he will become a war ghost. That strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"The City Lord of Mo you are talking about, but is it a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl?" Chu Cheng said and thought of something.

Three years have passed since the time of retreat. For teenagers and girls, these three years are the season of growth. I'm afraid that now, Mo Xiaoba is already a long and slim girl.

"But a girl about sixteen years old?" Chu Cheng said after thinking about it.

The old man nodded. Said: "The city lord of Mo is not very old, it should be this age." In addition, there are also Zhang City Lord, Black Wind City Lord, and Red Wind City Lord. ”

"Sure enough. Chu Cheng smiled, perhaps having some doubts at first. But after listening to the Mo City Lord and thinking for a while, he also understood the reason.

Zhang Mubai and others took Mo Xiaoba and directly occupied the mountain as the king. Chu Cheng didn't wonder why a few of them would sit on the city lord of this Easy City. It's nothing more than these people who are bored and looking for something to do.

"City Lord Chu, has the Boundless City Lord been out of the customs?" the old man thought for a moment and asked again.

"Boundless Dao Friend?" Chu Cheng listened to the words, and became even more convinced that this was what Mo Xiaoba and the others had told them, and he didn't have to worry about any fraud.

Because Zhang Mubai is here, even if it is a trap. There will also be an earth-shattering battle, and this sound will definitely alarm Chu Cheng. What's more, even if they lose, they won't tell them all that they still have companions, let alone tell their names.

"Boundless Daoyou hasn't come out yet. After Chu Cheng thought about it, he spoke again.

The old man nodded and said, "Then the city lord, please enter the city first and take a look around the city." Our Escape City is the only gathering place for monks within a radius of thousands of miles. ”

"Boy Chu, the sword master is already hungry and thirsty. Go to the lantern and take a look. ”

Chu Cheng smiled helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay, then go and have a look." ”

When he walked into the city, the scenery of heaven and earth changed again.

There is a world in this city, far more than 3,000 acres.

"It turns out that this city is just a faΓ§ade. ”

Chu Cheng stood in the middle of the cliff, the night was full of stars, twinkling in the embellishment.

These stars are not real, but phantom curtains in the formation, dotted with stars in the night sky.

Ahead is a large basin. There are tens of thousands of pavilions, lights in every house, in addition to the river spreading and the southern end, the southern end of a forest with red trees in all seasons, and the east is full of green fields. To the west, there are still thousands of lights.

No matter which area it is, it is indispensable for a hundred flowers to bloom red, except that the wind is a little cold. The wind and snow outside did not fall. It has the beauty of the quiet artistic conception of the moonlit night of the spring river.

"The clouds are light and the wind is light into the beauty, and you know that the flowers are real mountains. Chu Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

"If you look at it from the outside, there are tens of thousands of people in the city at most. Actually, it's much more than that. There were 30,000 mortals and 50,000 monks in the city alone. ”

"This is actually a cave in the world. The reason why the city was exposed to the outside world was to attract other scattered human races. After all, in the Netherworld, my human race is a very small minority. Even the demon beasts are more numerous than the human race. ”

Chu Cheng was also surprised, and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a world in this Netherworld. ”

The old man nodded and smiled: "The breath of the Guanchu City Lord and the others does not have the slightest ghost aura, and it must come from outside the Netherworld. ”

Chu Cheng nodded, these are not secrets. After all, the cultivation methods are different, and any ghost cultivator can detect it.

"Yes, we are not the people of the Netherworld. ”

"The City Lord of Chu is not a person from the Netherworld, so he doesn't know. There are at least 10,000 caves like this, and there are at least 10,000 in the Netherworld. As long as it is not a ghost or god, it can be transmitted across the starry sky to other places. ”

"I see. ”

The land of the cave has no roots and no foundation. Like a wanderer in a river, it can move with flowing water.

"It's just that it takes a lot of Nether Stones to move the Cave Heaven. Also, to maintain the operation here, Netherstone is also needed. ”

"Netherstone?" Chu Cheng suddenly thought of something. Between reaching out and spreading it out, a black crystal bead the size of a dragon's eye appeared.

In this small crystal bead, there is a great deal of energy.

This black crystal bead was obtained by Chu Cheng after killing that ghost immortal. The power inside is very turbid, and even ghost cultivators can't occupy it and use it.

Chu Cheng put away this black crystal bead because after all, it came from the ghost immortal, and it would not be an ordinary thing.

When the monks saw these black crystal beads, their eyes lit up.

"This power... This is the Immortal Netherworld Bead. It's just one, enough to support the operation of this cave for tens of millions of years. ”

"You say that these Nether Stones are all from ghosts?" Chu Cheng heard and asked.

"Yes and no. The old man shook his head and said, "Ghosts don't necessarily have Nether Crystals on them. Only when you reach the level of a ghost general, it will appear, but almost all of them are inferior. When you reach the Ghost King, there is a chance that the Nether Orb will appear. ”

"This Nether Bead contains hundreds to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of times more energy than the Nether Stone. It's just that the immortals are ghostly and immortal. It is divided into three levels, lower, middle, and upper, and immortal. This Netherworld Bead is an immortal product. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Cheng's hands, their eyes were blazing, as if they were about to burst into flames.

Chu Cheng glanced at everyone and said, "This Nether Bead is useless to me. Since you call me the lord of the city, it doesn't hurt to give it to the city. But you have to wait until you see Miss Mo. ”

When the people heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. Thank you again and again and praise the great achievements. even wanted to publicize the arrival of Yang Chucheng and Jian Ye, but was stopped by Chu Cheng.

"It's just a name. Chu Cheng shook his head. said: "Go to the lantern club first, and then take me to see Miss Mo." ”

The old man smiled: "If you want to find the Mo City Lord, then she happens to be in the Lantern Festival." This lantern festival was personally organized by the Lord of Mo. ”

As he spoke, the old man looked at the others and said, "You are stationed here, and the old man will take the two city lords to see the lantern festival." ”

The lamp would be in the middle of the tens of thousands of pavilions just below the basin. It is said that it is a matter of leading the way, and it is also a matter of one step.

There are red lights hanging in front of the house, but there is no moon but it is full of clouds.

This kind of fireworks in the world is really rare in a netherworld full of ghosts.

The ten-mile-long street is brilliantly lit and full of people, and it is not afraid of the dark night at all. Chu Cheng looked around and watched carefully. These lanterns have thousands of images, including lifelike goldfish lanterns, realistic lotus lanterns, and elegant palace lanterns, with fine workmanship and beauty.

"Look, this girl is so handsome, this ass, this breasts. I want to lie on that woman for a day and a night. ”

In the midst of this beautiful scenery, there was a sound that disturbed the scenery.

This is naturally the voice of the sword master. When the woman in front heard the voice, she also glanced back. After all, this voice was heard by Chu Cheng here, which naturally made people misunderstand.

The woman is also beautiful, and no matter where she puts it, people can't help but take a few more looks.

The woman looked at Chu Cheng, her eyebrows suddenly frowned, in the end, she was still everyone's lady, and she also said softly.

"The appearance is handsome, I didn't expect my heart to be so dirty and prodigal, it's a pity that this good skin is good. ”

The woman's voice was very soft, but as a monk, Chu Cheng couldn't hear it, and her face was full of black lines.

The old man on the side coughed and whispered: "Sword City Lord, these are all beautiful ladies who usually don't go out, and they only come out and walk around today with this lantern festival." If the Sword City Lord wants a beautiful woman, then he will take you to the Flower Tower. ”

"Is there a flower building in this small cave?" Jian Ye was also curious.

The old man coughed and said, "Although it is small here, there are more or less 80,000 people. Nowadays, there are more men and fewer women, if there is no flower building, it is inevitable that there will be a basket. After all... Man, you should know ......"

"Wow, Hualou! Jian Ye, I haven't visited the kiln for a long time. I will find more than a dozen flower girls to come over, and Jian Ye decided to stay awake today. Let me choose between the ten flower girls and this woman, and I will choose the former. ”

The old man responded again and again, but he was amazed in his heart. It's a miracle that a sword can open its mouth to speak, but I didn't expect to be greedy for women's beauty. I don't know if tonight, this sword will transform into a human body and fight with those flower girls all night.

"Sword and man, is it a living sword or a sword man?" the old man thought in his heart.

But in order to keep these few, even if it is the old man's daughter, even if the sword master is a sword and a maggot, he is willing to give it away.

After all, these people are all Xuanjing Immortals. If these people are stationed in the city, there is no need to worry about being attacked by ghosts one day.

Because they have already learned from the mouth of the Lord of the City of Mo. Among their group, some of them are in retreat and are in extinction, and when they are destroyed, they will be enemies of ghosts and immortals.

For the sake of the 80,000 people in the city, the old man was willing to give his only daughter.

"The Lord of the Sword City is so greedy for beauty that he will mention it to him later. The old man nodded secretly, and had an idea in his heart.

"Shameless, indecent!"

The woman did not leave, but as soon as she turned around, she heard another voice behind her. also compared her with the woman in Hualou, and her face was flushed with anger.

β€œ.......”

Chu Cheng smiled helplessly and said, "The lantern festival is naturally indispensable for the lantern riddle couplet." Take me to see it. ”

This lantern festival, since the Lantern Festival in the Yellow Kingdom, there has been no contact, and it is inevitable to touch the scene when you see you again today.

The old man took the order and led the way forward. The pace is neither fast nor slow, just enough to watch the night fire.

There is a stream in the city, and the lights shine brightly, floating on the surface of the river, and dyeing the ripples and waves red.

Most of the pedestrians walking around walked in groups, and some watched the lights alone. Whether you're alone or with friends. It's the same with a smile on everyone's face.

So, Chu Cheng also smiled.

After a pillar of incense, Chu Cheng and the old man came to an accord. It is full of the smell of pen and ink, the fragrance of sandalwood. It is also full of lanterns.

Each lantern is tied with a red string and tied to a cloth bag of different colors.

"It's an anagram, if you solve ten. The Lord of Mo will give a corresponding magic weapon of the same realm as the person who solved the anagram. If it is twenty, it is the instrument of the three realms. ”

"Could it be that Zhang Mubai's accumulated magic weapons were all given to her?" Chu Cheng was also stunned when he heard this. This compartment is very large, there are at least more than 5,000 lanterns hung, and people with some ink in their stomachs are not difficult to untie twenty. That's a big deal.

"Don't be in ink, the sword master is rich and knowledgeable. It's finally time to show your strength today. ”

"Chu City Lord, Sword City Lord. The two of you will solve the anagram here. I'm going to get some tea. The old man spoke aside.

"Good. Chu Cheng nodded, reached out and took off the cloth bag towards the nearest lantern, opened it and took out the paper.

"People send beautiful names and jade exquisite, full of longing and happiness. Chu Cheng muttered, and said, "This should be a flower, you first or me first?"

Jian Ye smiled and said, "This is too difficult, you should come first, and I will come back next." ”

"White and crystal clear, it must be narcissus. Chu Cheng muttered, and the words appeared in the note, and it was really a narcissus.

If the answer is correct. Will the answer be revealed? Chu Cheng spoke softly and took down another cloth bag.

"The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the moon is full. Jian Ye's turn. ”

Jian Ye floated out from behind Chu Cheng, looked carefully at the paper on the words, and said after a long time: "It's not right... The dragon and the phoenix, the sword master has lived for so long and has never heard of this dragon and phoenix combined to give birth to a child, what kind of divine beast is this? This is from Mo Yatou, it is estimated that she is also guessing wildly, from ancient times to the present, this kind of divine beast has never appeared. ”

β€œ......”

Chu Cheng also laughed, and said, "Who said that this is for you to guess the divine beast? ”

"The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, and the moon is full. The meaning is festivity. The dragon and phoenix are born and fall are men and women, and men and women are children, and together they are good. What the people of the world want, is that things are done for the better. ”

Fall, on this piece of paper. It's a good word.

"I know that you are indeed knowledgeable, and even more informed. But these are just the pleasures of the people of later generations, and you don't have to feel that you have lost face if you don't know. Chu Cheng didn't forget to give Jian Ye the steps to go.

"Ahem, you're right. Today's dolls are also engaged in wind and moon fun, which is incomparable, incomparable. Jian Ye is really old. ”

Chu Cheng did not reply. Looking at the brilliant lights, the night sky has been extended, replacing the stars. After a moment, he sighed. "When I come here at night, the same night, as if I have seen a country shadow. ”

I can't help but think melancholy, leaving the Seven Domains of the world, it will be a hundred years in the snap of a finger.

"The colors are far away, and the light is far away from the sky. Chu Cheng took a deep breath and muttered.

However, in the next moment, a beautiful voice came from the place where the lights were separated.

"The stars are suspicious, and the building is like the moon. ”

The lights connecting the Tianhe River seem to be stars falling, and the lights leaning on the tall buildings seem to be the moon hanging in the sky.

The brilliant colors of the lights seem to separate the earth from afar, and the multitude of lights dots the sky in the distance.

The two sentences are photographed together, and the artistic conception is connected. The succession is like forming a reincarnation, endless transition, forming an eternal and immortal night sky beauty.

"Oiran of the Bright Moon?"

At this moment, a soft sound sounded behind Chu Cheng, it was the old man from before.

The old man walked in with a teapot and cup, and his voice was soft.

"Oiran, could it be a dusty woman?" the sword master was also stunned, levitating and picking up the flower lantern. It was to see the face of a beautiful woman dressed in white.

"Beautiful! It's really beautiful! I didn't expect there to be such a beauty in the dust! Tonight, the sword master will point you out!"

The woman was not surprised by the sword's opening, but just smiled.

After a while, Jian Ye came back to his senses. Shen Shen said: "Poetry is good poetry." Jian Ye, I also thought of a sentence, but you preempted it. Beauty, you have to respect your profession, and don't steal the prestige of others. ”

β€œ.......”

The old man's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and his hand holding the teapot trembled violently, almost toppling.
