Chapter 311: Heavenly Court Xingjun(1/4)
Hearing Linard's unkind words, Qinglong's forehead was soaked with sweat.
He made up his mind that if the other party really had bad intentions, then he would risk his life to pass the news to the Lord of the City and ask her to leave as soon as possible!
Qingluo City can no longer bear it!
There was still some hope, as long as... the city lord's mother... But now, there are people from Ghost City outside, and there are mysterious scripture collectors inside.
Everything seems to have come to a dead end.
Further ahead, there is an abyss.
Looking at Qinglong who gritted his teeth and seemed to be determined to die, Zi Yunwei could hardly hold back the tears in her eyes.
What's going on!
She worked so hard to find the real Buddhist practitioner, but why was she blocked? It seemed... as if she had done something wrong!
For this day, she almost died in the forbidden ghost realm!
Thinking of this experience, she couldn't help but tremble. Who knows how she got here in the past two days.
Zi Yunwei was extremely frightened every time she thought of herself wandering like a ghost in the forbidden ghost realm. If she hadn't met Master Sanzang, her bones would have been completely cold.
Just like those who accidentally broke into the forbidden ghost land, there is no news again.
If Master Sanzang hadn't killed thousands of ghosts in an instant and greatly increased her sense of security, Zi Yunwei might have gone crazy and lived in fear all day long.
But now, Qinglong treats her with this attitude and wants her savior.
"Uncle Qinglong..." Zi Yunwei's words were cold and her eyes were red: "You have gone too far."
"Azi..." Qinglong looked at the little girl who had grown up under his gaze, and realized that she had reached adulthood and was no longer the little girl who surrounded him all day long and called her Uncle Long.
He was a little heartbroken, but he could only endure it.
'Lord Azi, this is to protect the Lord of the City, I'm sorry...'
His weakness was only revealed for a brief moment before he returned to his resolute attitude.
Linnard had a slight headache. Of course, his headache was not because Qinglong refused to let him enter the city.
In fact, with this small amount of manpower, even with the troops from Ghost City outside the city, they couldn't stop him.
This is the confidence of the strong. The world is so big that nothing can stop it.
What troubled him was that because of this incident, Zi Yunwei and Qinglong seemed to have an extremely firm stance, and started a fierce dispute over whether Linnard should enter the city.
In fact, Linnard looked at Zi Yunwei and said sincerely: 'As long as I think about it, I'm already standing in the inner city.'
Of course Zi Yunwei also knew this, but the legendary pilgrims had a compassionate heart and unlimited tolerance.
Qinglong also heard about this, so he dared to try to stop Linnard again and again.
In their view, Buddhist practitioners will not force their way in or force others to do things they do not want to do.
"Qinglong——"
Just as the atmosphere was becoming awkward, and Linnard was about to break through the void and enter the inner city to see the specific situation, he heard a sweet call.
From the sound of the voice, it should have come from the inner city. The tone was majestic and very pleasant. I could tell it was the voice of a mature woman.
"Let Master Sanzang enter the city."
The voice didn't say much, just gave instructions lightly.
"Lord City Lord..." Qinglong murmured in a low voice, and then his expression became lonely. When he looked up again, his appearance had changed.
He looked at Linnard and apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Master Sanzang, please follow me into the city."
With the city lord's order, no one dared to stop it.
Zi Yunwei also put away her resentment, turned to smile, and whispered in a low voice: "Sister still understands me, and will trust me, unlike you, Uncle Long, hum!"
Upon hearing Zi Yunwei's complaint, Qinglong smiled helplessly, with a slightly worried look on his face.
"When things have reached this point, and the disciples come, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"
Not long after, the three of them entered the inner city. The defense of the city wall was handed over to Qinglong's deputy, a man named Xuanwu.
The names of the four people come from the mythical beasts that guard the four directions in the legend, which means that Qingluo City, like the ancient heaven, rules one place and stands proud forever.
However, only a thousand years have passed, and now we are facing a terrifying level. Once it cannot be overcome, the entire city will be destroyed.
After getting off the city wall, Linard saw that out of the 200,000 people in Qingluo City, almost a full 100,000 people had formed a troop and were stationed near the four walls to guard against the enemy.
Fortunately, they are all awakened ones. If they were ordinary people, according to this two-to-one military situation, they would be wiped out early.
"Why did Ghost City attack Qingluo City?" Several people walked towards the main city of Qingluo City. Zi Yunwei was a little confused and asked Qinglong.
Hearing this question, Qinglong smiled helplessly: "It's very complicated. In short, to put it simply, we are very weak now, and they think they have a chance to annex us."
"But will annexing us do them any good?"
Zi Yunwei was very puzzled, waving his arms exaggeratedly, and asked: "There are many small cities around Ghost City, and their defenses are empty. If we want to expand our territory, we should choose them, right?"
Our Qingluo City, like Ghost City, is a large city with a population of 200,000.
There are countless strong people, and they are even protected by immortals.
Why choose us?”
Qinglong looked ugly and said: "It's because of Lord Tianxian... In short, you will naturally understand when you meet Lord City Lord."
Entering the inner city, it is indeed very grand. Compared with the high and thick outer city wall, the inner city pays more attention to the craftsmanship of carving. Glaze is used as tiles, gold and jade are used as walls, and pearls are used as lamps. It is simply a magnificent and luxurious scene.
There is also an extremely exquisite building in the inner city. This is the city lord's palace. When outsiders see it, they may think it is a palace of an immortal. To describe it as gorgeous and luxurious is not an exaggeration.
In fact, Zi Yunwei also quietly told Linnard that this city lord's palace was snatched out of a small forbidden ghost domain by the only immortal in Qingluo City during his peak period.
It is a genuine fairy mansion.
Just as I was thinking about it, a low and majestic voice, shouted by tens of millions of people, came from the huge palace: "The noble Lord Tripitaka has arrived, and the whole Qingluo City is shining brightly? Invite, the Buddhist monk, Tripitaka
The mage enters the house—"
The sound echoed continuously, and the momentum was very powerful, in line with ancient etiquette.
After three rings, the main entrance of the splendid City Lord's Mansion suddenly opened, and the main entrance of the palace suddenly opened, revealing a brilliantly lit palace.
Although there were tens of thousands of enemies outside the city besieging them, they did not disturb the interest of everyone in the city lord's mansion at all.
Hundreds of guests lined up on both sides, each taking a seat.
There were musicians accompaniment, beauties dancing, and mighty soldiers wearing bright armor and holding sharp swords and spears standing around.
And in the middle of the hall, on a throne made of red gold, a slim woman whose face could not be seen clearly held a gold cup in her hand and raised her cup to Linnard.
"Sir Sanzang, Lord of Qingluo City, Ziluo is very happy to have the honor of meeting you today."
The Lord of Ziluo City looked like a much mature Ziyunwei, and she raised her glass generously and signaled to him.
‘They are indeed sisters. So, are they descendants of immortals?
The disaster in Qingluo City is that immortal aging fairy. What happened to her? What happened that requires a Buddhist practitioner to solve it?’
A series of thoughts flashed through Linard's mind, and in a flash, he came to the palace gate. With his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran walked in.
Zi Luo looked at the handsome man who claimed to be a Buddhist monk and waved his hand.
The music stopped and the guests exited one after another.
The City Lord's Mansion, which was originally bustling with music, suddenly became deserted, leaving only Linnard and the City Lord's sisters, and Qinglong guarding the door.
The other people, musicians, dancers, and guests, as if they had received professional training, quickly retreated without saying a word.
Linard smiled brightly and said: "What, what does the city lord mean by this? Could it be that he coaxed me in, then arranged countless people, just waiting to capture me?"
Zi Luo smiled helplessly and said, "Master Sanzang was joking. Please forgive Zi Luo. I was forced to do this helplessly."
As she said that, she had already caught Zi Yunwei, who was walking towards her as soon as she entered the door. She glared at her sternly and completely controlled her to prevent her from resisting and making things go wrong again.
"Sister...sister...?" Zi Yunwei's eyes showed disbelief, staring at her sister who came from the same origin as her in horror, not quite understanding what was going on.
"Oh, after waiting for a long time, a Buddhist monk finally arrived.
Since that little girl Ziyunwei approves of you, it means that you must have been exposed to the true scripture, right?
Although she is usually very unobtrusive, she will not be careless about this matter. You must be one of the thousands of people who have been recognized by God for seeking scriptures.
If I kill you here and take out the scripture from your body, you will definitely be very happy."
Inside the palace, an extremely cold voice sounded.
Accompanied by the plain male voice, a tall and straight man in black robe slowly walked into the palace. He exuded an unparalleled oppressive force, and the void was collapsing, as if it was being squeezed.
Wherever he passed, darkness followed him like a shadow, and all sounds, colors, lights and shadows returned to darkness and silence.
Seeing this person, Zi Luo trembled, but she controlled her fear and stared coldly at the scene where Linnard, who was washing himself in white robes, and the man in black robes were facing each other.
Zi Yunwei wanted to break free, but found that her strength was useless in front of her sister.
No one could tell that while Zi Luo was shocked, her eyes were fixed on the black-robed man who seemed to be no one else. Her eyes were filled with hatred and deep fear: "Xingjun..."
The black-robed man didn't care about Zi Luo and the others, and just treated them as if they didn't exist. Qinglong was trembling, and forced himself to stand in front of the two Zi Luo sisters, resisting the desire to surrender.
To be continued...
