Chapter 346: Be strong when you meet the strong
Although Gu Jiu had prepared early in the morning, he knew that Cang Liyuan had raised such a serious matter, it would not be an ordinary place.
But when she really came here with him, she was still shocked.
This...is not like a place that should be found in the world!
Looking at the tall and particularly depressing city in front of him, Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place?"
There is no big problem with the city. The square city is similar to the outside world.
But the location is too remote.
Ordinary cities are located in prosperous and prosperous places, and no matter how poorly they are, they are dangerous places in the border areas.
However, this city is located in the deep mountains and forests, and it took a lot of time for them to find it.
Moreover, there are many mechanism formations on the road, which can be said to be hidden very deeply!
If it weren't for Cang Liyuan's leadership, she might not have found it.
The key is that many of the pedestrians coming and going to the city are not human.
Seeing these strange things in front of you, Gu Jiuqing really felt that his experience was really too shallow.
The big spider that penetrated the city was hanging in the air, dancing with its tail swimming, and some other bizarre things.
For example, a terrifying giant, a human-headed and snake-body mount, a large-sized head that rolls around...
For a moment, Gu Jiuqing thought he had entered another world.
When he was out of the way, he heard Cang Liyuan say: "Puppet City."
"Puppet City?" Gu Jiuqing looked at the strange things around him in surprise, and immediately realized, "Are these puppets?"
Cang Liyuan nodded, and Gu Jiuqing's face couldn't help but sink.
Who is this kind of puppet, good people?
These puppet masters are really willing to let themselves go!
But then again, these things are made realistic!
Compared to this, the puppets of Sanniang that day were simply a witch!
In addition to these strange-shaped puppets, those puppet masters who control this object also seem stranger than the other.
The two of them appeared here, but because they were not perverted enough, they were incompatible with these people.
The two of them quickly attracted the attention of others, and the exploratory eyes fell on them without any concealment.
But no matter how hard they looked, they did not take any further action, and no one came to offend them.
Cang Liyuan didn't pay much attention to them, but just took her hand and stepped into the city.
After entering the city, I felt the fireworks of the world.
On both sides of the street, in addition to these bizarre things, there are also many vendors selling them.
The puppet masters were also bargaining with the vendors, which was quite lively.
However, Gu Jiuqing found that the things they used for exchanges were not ordinary silver, but Xuanyu!
Xuanyu, big and small, can be seen everywhere in this street market.
"It seems that this mysterious jade is not that precious!" Gu Jiuqing whispered, "Look, almost everyone here has one."
Even at first glance, there were some people guarding a bunch of them.
Their Xuanyu was placed aside, neither worried that someone would rob it nor the stolen one.
I have to say that the public security here is really strong.
"Xuanyu is an alien object and is extremely rare. But this is compared to the human world. After crossing the border, there is a large Xuanyu mine in the monster."
Cang Liyuan said, "In addition to the need for this thing by the puppet master, Xuanyu can also provide energy to the demon spirit. Therefore, this Xuanyu mine has always been an important mineral that the puppet masters compete with the demon clan!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but sigh.
"If you say so, then can the two forces cooperate with each other?" Gu Jiuqing said, "Anyway, if I were a demon clan, I would choose to cooperate with them. This is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation."
Things like puppets have a wide range of uses.
Many things that cannot be accomplished by human power, but puppets can do.
After all, these things are comparable to smart robots!
"It is indeed mutual benefit and win-win, but the puppet masters are not unmanaged. Like the world, the puppet masters also have their leader. The leader will take charge of the puppet masters in the world, and whether they will choose to cooperate with the demon clan is the final decision." Cang Liyuan said indifferently, "And this leader is absolutely impossible to cooperate with them."
"Why?"
"He has an irreconcilable hatred with the demon clan! His parents, wife and children died tragically at the hands of the demon clan. He took the orphan as his responsibility to kill evil spirits throughout his life." Cang Liyuan said in a deep voice, "But now, the situation may have changed."
"Do you suspect they have cooperated with the demon clan?" Gu Jiuqing looked at Xuan Yu everywhere and suddenly felt that this was not impossible.
Cang Liyuan looked around and although he did not give a positive answer, his attitude had already explained everything.
"We are here just so we should have caught up with the five-year Puppet Master Competition. During the competition, puppet masters from all over the country will bring their puppets into the city and compete on the ring.
The winner can challenge the leader of the position, and if the challenge is successful, it will replace it. Even if it fails, there will be a generous reward. Therefore, at this time of year, many puppet masters will flock to him."
"Well, the leader is in this city?" Gu Jiuqing asked again.
"Well, it's the city lord of this puppet city." Cang Liyuan said, looking in the direction of a tall building in the distance.
That straight tower like a sharp sword soaring into the sky was standing on the mountain halfway up the mountain.
From that location, you can just overlook the entire city.
Probably, that is where the city lord's mansion is located.
"Want to meet him?" Gu Jiuqing said.
"Don't worry, since you're here, you'll be a good person to take a walk." Cang Liyuan smiled faintly, "It's not common for such a grand scene."
Gu Jiuqing, “…”
She didn't believe it, he simply wanted to play.
What medicine is this guy selling in the gourd!
"However, the transactions here are all made of Xuanyu, and we don't have them either!" Gu Jiuqing reminded in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Cang Liyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't need Xuanyu."
The two of them immediately wandered around and were used to seeing the situation here. Faced with those strange things, Gu Jiuqing was much calmer.
Although no one has provoked them along the way, the feeling of inquiry is like a shadow.
No matter where he went, Gu Jiuqing could clearly feel the uncovered gaze they were attacking.
It's really unhappy.
She also looked back and thought that if she was caught on the spot, the other party would be restrained.
But it was obvious that they were not afraid of being noticed by her. Instead, when she looked over, the other party became more excited.
Their eyes were really just curious, as if they had seen a rare species, and they were not aggressive.
After a while, Gu Jiuqing simply ignored it.
However, after playing all the way, Gu Jiuqing discovered that Cang Liyuan really didn't have to pay for this guy here.
He just had to report the title of the king of his town and he was unobstructed and even received a good hospitality.
Gu Jiuqing was really surprised by this.
"This is OK?" she said in surprise, "are they not afraid that you are pretending?"
The people here are more simple than she thought!
"No." Cang Liyuan said, "No one who can enter this place can do false things."
Before Gu Jiuqing could figure out what was going on, several guards came over.
"His Royal Highness, our city lord is invited." The guard said, making a gesture of invitation to them.
And at this moment, a giant suddenly appeared in front of them.
Chapter completed!
