Chapter 977: Throw yourself into the castle
The first thing Su Aotian wanted to understand was what Luo Wentian and the others were like, and what he urgently needed now was information.
The result of the divine sense exploration disappointed him, but it was also expected that the third layer of the immortal realm was also vast and sparsely populated, and the immortals had hidden themselves, and there was no breath to be detected in the vast heaven and earth, and it seemed that there was no one except himself.
But there is one thing that is different from the first two layers of the Immortal Realm, there are quite a few other living beings here, and they are very powerful, and a few of them are far stronger than him, the middle immortal who has just broken through!
Perhaps this is an important reason why immortals are even rarer.
Su Aotian had no choice but to continue to move forward and find the breath of the immortals.
In order to avoid trouble, he restrained his breath, not wanting to alarm those powerful creatures. It's not that he's afraid of these immortal beasts and the like, it's that he doesn't have the mood to entangle with them.
It wasn't until a few days later that he sensed the breath of people hiding from a distance, and there were many of them, at least a few hundred, gathered in one place.
This discovery lifted his spirits, could it be that a small trade fair was being held there?
He immediately shuttled there, only to be a hundred miles away in an instant, stopped, and emerged from the space.
When I looked up, I couldn't help but be stunned again, it was not a place like a trade fair, but a castle!
Although this kind of building is ordinary, it is the first time to see it in the fairy world, and it feels a little weird to him. In the Chengtian Continent, the monks all built huge cities; in the spiritual realm, the cultivators could not afford to build cities, but they would also build strong fortresses; Xiang Castle, which is neither like a city nor a fortress, is not big or small, and there is no particularly strong defense.
And the next moment, he thought thoughtfully about the possible cause. Because he found out that there were several breaths in the castle, which were very powerful, even surpassing the immortals who were chasing him.
The owner of this place, capable and confident enough, openly built a castle, not afraid of ostentation, to show that he was strong and could not be offended.
Despite this, he finally found the traces of the immortals, and Su Aotian didn't want to miss it, so he still followed his previous plan, hoping to find out some useful information.
So he walked slowly towards the castle, and his every move was in order, trying not to attract the attention and disgust of the people in the castle.
Naturally, his whereabouts were discovered early, but no one paid attention to him, leaving him all the way to the castle.
When I got closer, I found that the castle was built against a mountain, and three walls were built in front of a dangerous peak, and the whole mountain became the back wall of the castle, which coincided with the builders of the stone cottage. But this castle is much more magnificent than the stone cottage, although the city wall is not too high, but it is all made of black stone bricks, polished very smooth and smooth, not to mention, it is rare that each stone brick is of average size, and this water grinding work alone takes a lot of time.
The entrance of the city wall is readily available, and it has been carefully carved, and the top of the gatehouse, the top of the battlement wall, carved into the shape of rare birds and beasts to decorate. A three-foot-long-foot-and-a-half-deep moat was dug under the city wall, which had no protective effect, and was purely used for decoration, otherwise the castle would be missing something.
A small suspension bridge is also a must, crystal clear is actually carved from jade, and the chain that pulls the bridge is shining, it is actually gold. Gold has no real value to the immortals, and it is rare to use it for decoration, but it has a bit of grandeur.
Before Su Aotian could speak, a figure had already appeared on the gatehouse, and he said softly: "Stop, common name!"
Su Aotian took a look, this person's aura was not weak, and he was also a middle immortal, and he seemed to be stronger than himself. It seems that his status and status, entering this castle, can only be a gatekeeper and the like.
Before this, he had already changed his appearance, and immediately said nonsense: "In Xia Jing Bichen, I am a newcomer, and I have taken the liberty of visiting, please forgive me." ”
The middle immortal on the city tower let out an "oh" and said, "You just ascended?"
Su Aotian replied: "Exactly." ”
The middle immortal didn't say anything more, put down the suspension bridge with his hands, and said, "Come in." ”
Su Aotian didn't expect him to be so easy to speak, so he put down the suspension bridge without interrogating clearly, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't have to bother talking anymore, so after the suspension bridge was put down, he immediately walked up.
After entering the city gate, the middle immortal had already come down from the gatehouse and was waiting for him behind the gate. Su Aotian walked in front of him, made a gesture, and before he could speak, this person had already said: "Turn left from here, walk to the foot of the city wall, there is a slippery room, find Steward Cui, register a number plate, and you can take a shift." ”
Su Aotian couldn't help but be stunned, this person really called him to be a city guard!
After thinking for a moment, Su Aotian opened his mouth and asked, "Immortal friends, don't be strange, I just arrived, I don't know where the master here is sacred, and where is this place?"
The immortal looked at him, pursed his lips slightly, and said: "The name of the castle master, mention it and Hugh, don't say it's you, I don't know." However, the lord of the castle wants to make a big move, recruit troops and buy horses to achieve a career, it is the time when he needs manpower, although he is now stooping to be a guard and a handyman, he will soar in the future, and naturally there are countless benefits. Like you and me, the castle master can be gracious and contained, thank God, if you miss this opportunity, you will be squeezed out of your head, and you will not be able to enter. Don't say anything more, go and register. ”
Listening to his words, he actually thought that Su Aotian had the same idea as him, and he had come to take refuge in this extremely powerful castle lord and hold the idea of enjoying the shade under the big tree. Su Aotian didn't think about it, he didn't argue with him for anything, he would be safe when he came, stay here for a while first, and after inquiring about some information, it would not be too late to leave.
Su Aotian came to the ear room under the city wall and found Steward Cui, who turned out to be an immortal. After casually asking Su Aotian a few words, Steward Cui issued him a waist card, with three big characters written on the front of "Qianlong Castle", and a number engraved on the reverse, engraved with "Seventy-six". It seems that the castle lord has indeed a lot of plans, and the castle alone has already recruited more than 70 people, and he has no intention of stopping.
Steward Cui explained a few words to him, and then called a team leader over and asked Su Aotian to listen to his orders. This person is also a cultivator of the Middle Immortal, but when he enters this realm, time has passed, and the aura on his body is much more condensed than Su Aotian. The head of the squad gave him some reasons, nothing more than obeying orders, fulfilling his duties, not acting without authorization, etc., and then let him get acquainted with the various matters of the city wall defense as soon as possible, and arranged for him to take up his post in three days.
In the past three days, Su Aotian had nothing to do, just looked along the city wall a few times, to understand where there were prohibitions, where there were organs, how to launch them, etc., in his eyes, these prohibitions and other defensive measures were commonplace, perhaps because the castle owner did not care about it. His group consisted of twelve people, four in a group, divided into three groups, two of whom were responsible for patrolling the city walls, and two of whom were lurking in the shadows to watch and answer. Each group patrols for 12 hours, every 3 days, and for a month it is taken over by others.
The partner assigned to him is a Taoist priest whose cultivation is almost the same as him, but he is not young, and he looks like a middle-aged person, and his Taoist name is Guyun. At first, the two didn't talk much, but after a few days, they gradually became acquainted, and Su Aotian asked him about some things in the third layer of the immortal realm.
The cultivation of the Guyun Dao people is not high, and they are easy-going, and they are not aware of Su Aotian's inquiry, and they also give a patient answer. According to what he said, the three layers of the immortal world have been substantially improved compared to the previous two layers, don't mention the cultivation of the middle immortals, it is definitely the lowest existence here, and the immortals are not surprising, there are many immortals entrenched here, every immortal has a deep strength background, and he is the king of the land here, dominates one side, and develops his own power.
Hidden Dragon Castle is a newly built castle with a mysterious owner. They had never seen them before, but everyone said that he was an unfathomable immortal with unfathomable cultivation. His purpose is nothing more than to expand his power and compete for territory, such as the idle immortals who are not high in cultivation and have no sect power to support them, all heard the news and came to vote for a place to settle down.
Here, the immortals who act alone, if they are not cultivated profoundly, it is not easy to survive, in addition to guarding against the same kind with bad intentions, but also to fight against the immortal beasts. The immortal beasts here, such as those sensed by Su Aotian, were very powerful, and they were definitely not something that ordinary people could handle.
These things are not what Su Aotian is eager to know, but just a foreshadowing, after understanding some general situation, he took the initiative to turn the topic to the recent major event in the fairy world, a magic lamp that mysteriously appeared.
Although a large number of immortals are chasing and intercepting them, searching for the whereabouts of the Hongmeng Qingyan Lamp, these low-level minions and the like will not get real and accurate information, and the orders they get are only to track down the whereabouts of a magic lamp, with the portraits of Su Aotian and others who may be holding this treasure, and the rest is unknown.
These situations were all asked by Su Aotian from the captive, and he naturally couldn't tell the name of Hongmeng Qingyan Lantern to others, even if he said it, these people at the bottom of the fairy world would only be dumbfounded, not knowing what he was talking about.
Speaking of the magic lamp, Guyun naturally knows, saying that it has been in an uproar here at this time, in order to compete for this magic lamp, many powerful people have come to the third layer of the fairy world, stirring up chickens and dogs, and there is no peace everywhere.
And this matter is also quite strange, at the beginning there was only one person who claimed that he had the magic lamp, when they heard the news, the immortals were basically inexplicable, unanimously expressed doubts, because they did not understand why someone had a heavy treasure, did not try to hide it, but wanted to make a big publicity, is he looking for death?
However, soon a large number of immortals arrived and launched a search and search, which made people have to believe in the truth of the matter.
