Chapter 279: Thirty-Six Cores - Broken Mountain City
"It's ......"
From behind the old man named Si Xin, two strong men fell to their knees, kneeled forward, almost reverently, and threw themselves at Zhang Fan's feet, as if they wanted to kiss his boots.
This action not only frightened Wan'er like a frightened deer, and suddenly hid behind Zhang Fan, but also made Zhang Fan frown, his sleeve robe swayed slightly, and an invisible force was issued, firmly blocking them from a foot away.
The two strong men were like hitting a wall, unable to move forward, and suddenly raised their heads and shouted aggrievedly: "Master, the little one is a samurai!"
"Samurai?"
"What is this?"
Zhang Fan was puzzled, but he didn't ask, but looked at Si Xin.
This old man named Si Xin, with faint fluctuations in spiritual power on his body, is also a person who cultivates immortals, but his cultivation is too low, and the qi refining period is only two or three percent.
However, his previous etiquette was quite good, it was a great gift that the younger generations had to perform to meet the elders in ancient times, and it was rarely used in the surface immortal cultivation world.
Seeing Zhang Fan's eyes on him, Si Xin hurriedly nodded and said, "Seniors, juniors can testify that the two brothers are indeed warriors!"
Hearing this, the two strong men nodded their heads again and again, as if the title of this samurai was very precious.
Seeing that they were afraid that others would not believe it, Zhang Fan sighed a little and understood.
Dare to be affectionate, this is also a kind of class performance.
Ordinary mortals, such as those villagers, can only kneel quietly on the ground, unable to even make a sound; Si Yu and Si Yan are so-called warriors, it is estimated that they are immortal cultivators and miscellaneous attendants, they are stronger than ordinary mortals, and they have practiced some martial arts and the like, although they have to kneel on the ground, but they have the glory of intimate contact with immortal cultivators, such as kissing boots; Si Xin, the old man, although he cultivates underground, is also an immortal cultivator, and he only needs to be seen as a junior.
In a snap of his fingers, Zhang Fan sorted these things out, and then waved his sleeves and let two strong men come over.
If you follow the customs, you might as well enjoy the treatment of an underground immortal cultivator.
The two of them leaned over and kissed the top of their boots, and then stepped back respectfully, standing behind the old man Si Xin, like two door gods, majestic and majestic, I couldn't imagine that I was kissing other people's boots a moment ago.
Zhang Fan shook his head incomprehensibly, especially when he saw the glory on the faces of the two of them, the envy that the surrounding villagers couldn't hide, and he was even more speechless.
After completing this set of procedures, seeing that the old man Si Xin was still standing aside respectfully, Zhang Fan said indifferently: "Find a room, I have something to ask you." ”
"Yes, yes, seniors, please!"
Si Xin said without hesitation, and then led the way with a hand of his hand.
While leading the way sideways, he waved his sleeves, obviously signaling something.
Out of the corner of Zhang Fan's eye, he could see that the two of them immediately dispersed with the old man's movements, or drove the villagers out of the way, or explained something in front of someone, it was estimated that it was something like entertainment.
The village was not very large, and they walked through it, but after a while, the three of them saw that they came to the center of the village, in front of a stone house.
What I saw along the way, but the appearance of ordinary villages, if anything, was that there were bonfires everywhere, not just for lighting, but more like driving wild beasts in the wild.
The stone house in front of him is the residence of the village chief Si Xin, it looks no different from the surrounding ones, ordinary, and there is no decoration, but the surroundings seem to be empty and clean.
Seeing Zhang Fan looking at the stone house, Si Xin hurriedly said apologetically: "I'm sorry for the seniors, the juniors...... It's a little simpler, please don't be surprised by the seniors. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
Zhang Fan shook his head and took Wan'er into the room first.
The furnishings in the room are also very simple, with stone beds, stone tables, and stone benches...... It's all these ordinary things, and nothing else.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan nodded secretly.
If you look around the village before, you can know that the living conditions in this village are okay, and it is not very difficult, and under such circumstances, it is rare for Si Xin, the person in power, to be able to be poor and self-controlled.
These are just the ends, Zhang Fan didn't delve into it, calmly pulled Wan'er to sit down, and then looked at Si Xin.
Under this substantial gaze, Si Xin only felt uncomfortable, and cold sweat kept rising out, and in an instant, his entire back was soaked.
"It's worthy of being a foundation building senior!"
"This kind of oppressive force can only be found in those sect elders from afar when they are studying in the city. ”
Si Xin secretly sighed, and at the same time racked his brains, thinking about how to deal with it.
In fact, Zhang Fan was also distressed, and after sitting down, he found that he didn't know how to ask.
Now he can be described as a smear of the situation in this place, if he asks shallowly, he doesn't know how many circles he has to go around, and if he asks deeply, it is tantamount to revealing his identity.
After hesitating for a moment, he was ready to get straight to the point, and he was not ready to make a detour.
"Big deal......"
With a thought in his heart, a fierce color flashed in Zhang Fan's eyes.
At this moment, the sound of Si Xin cowering came into his ears.
"Senior ......"
"Hmm, you say!"
"The seniors just came to our Broken Mountain City from out of town?"
"If there is anything you can serve, please ask the seniors to command, and the juniors will do their best!"
After saying a few words in a row, Si Xin took a breath, and then raised his hand to wipe off a lot of cold sweat on his forehead.
"What ......"
Zhang Fan was shocked in his heart, the little old man gave him a lot of information in just a few words.
Let's not talk about how the old man saw that he was from somewhere else, just the word "out-of-town" is worth playing.
The "broken mountain city" in his mouth, the ** of the ten is the giant city he refers to, so ...... "Inner World, there is more than such a giant city!"
At the same time as this conclusion was reached, the killing intent in Zhang Fan's heart suddenly disappeared.
Originally, I wanted to finish the questioning, but if I couldn't hide my identity, I was going to erase all traces of the future, at most it would cause some confusion, so as not to suspect that someone from the surface was coming.
At this time, I heard Si Xin say this, but it didn't have to be like this.
Since there are other giant cities, the "outsiders" are not necessarily people on the surface, but the exchanges between different cities, there is no need to make a fuss, and there is no need to mention the extermination.
There is no need to kill these ordinary people, Zhang Fan's heart can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's right!"
Nodding calmly, Zhang Fan continued: "This seat is from out of town, and I came here to inquire about the situation in the vicinity. ”
Since there was no need to hide it, he immediately asked bluntly.
"I don't dare to call the old man of the seniors, I will be killed and killed. ”
"The seniors call the juniors by their names. ”
Si Xin said with sincere fear.
Zhang Fan frowned secretly, it seems that the hierarchy of this place is far more than the level of the surface, and he doesn't insist, but he doesn't say anything about it, waiting for the little old man's words.
After a moment of silence, he thought about how to phrase it in his heart, and after a while, Si Xin spoke: "Our Broken Mountain City is one of the thirty-six giant cities......
With the little old man's narration full of pride, Zhang Fan's expression slowly became solemn.
The Inner Earth was far bigger than he had imagined.
The giant city seen before, named "Broken Mountain", was only one of the thirty-six giant cities, and it was one of the thirty-six cores of the underground immortal cultivation realm.
Just like Qinzhou's status above the nine states on the mainland.
Due to the special living environment underground, ordinary immortal cultivators and mortals had to use the city as a unit and concentrate all their forces in order to survive.
Although the living environment here is poor, there is no shortage of resources for cultivating immortals, and some elixirs and other things that were originally rare underground, after tens of thousands of years of development, have also found various substitutes and refining methods, which can be said to be compared with the surface immortal cultivation world and the ancient immortal cultivation world, they have all embarked on a different path.
The Broken Mountain City is controlled by the three major sects of the Xuanyin Sect, the Five Thunder Sect, and the Blood Killing Dao, and among the eight small cities on the periphery, there are also sects stationed there, and only their scattered villages are not considered to belong to the territory of those sects.
The survival in the city is naturally much better than the situation outside that may be attacked by desolate beasts at any time, and the old man was full of envy at the mention of this.
Zhang Fan didn't think that there was anything good about living under the noses of those big sects, but it was a pity that Si Xin, the old man, had too poor qualifications after all, and he was driven out after a few years of cultivating in the city, and he didn't know much about the situation in the Broken Mountain City area.
Even if he is still in the city, it is useless, he has only been to the nearest Hehuan City in his life, as for the broken mountain city, his old man does not have that qualification.
"The level is too low. ”
After listening to Si Xin's story, Zhang Fan sighed secretly, but he didn't feel sorry for this old man, he knew this.
After a deep sigh, Zhang Fan opened his mouth and asked, "Si Xin, have there been a lot of outsiders here recently?"
"Yes, Senpai. ”
Si Xin nodded hurriedly and said, "Especially in the past few days, many people from other cities have come to settle in our Broken Mountain City, and there have been a lot of ......."
Speaking of this, he reacted, the senior in front of him was also a foreigner, and he was suspected of scolding Huai if he was not careful, so he hurriedly stopped talking and peeked at Zhang Fan's face.
Zhang Fan didn't pay attention to this, just pondered for a while, and then asked, "Do you know what the reason is?"
Although they hadn't explored it carefully, as long as they knew that there was an immortal cultivation sect in the giant city, they knew that this place must be where the spiritual veins gathered, and it was impossible for them not to consider this when they chose to build the city.
In this case, the distance between the two cities cannot be too close, and it can only be determined by the spiritual veins.
In this case, mass migration is very abnormal, and something must happen.
"Is it ......?"
Zhang Fan actually has a certain conjecture in his heart, but it still needs to be confirmed.
"This ......"
Si Xin hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "The seniors forgive their sins, but the juniors really don't know." ”
This answer is not unexpected, Zhang Fan shook his head, it seems that he still has to go to the city to investigate.
Now that there are a lot of outsiders coming, the possibility of him revealing his identity is very small, so he might as well go and see it.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Si Xin suddenly exclaimed, and looked at Wan'er blankly, with an incredible look on his face.
