And this city is called Zhenhuangcheng, also known as Zhenbeihuangcheng!
It was when the ancestor of the Wang Family’s God Transformation, Zifeng Lingjun, was still in this world, he spent a lot of effort and energy to establish it in the northern wilderness.
It has been quite a few years now.
Whether it is the Northern Wilderness or the Five Elements Mountains in the Hengduan Mountains, strictly speaking, they are all areas and domains under the rule of the Wang family.
Whether it is in fact or in some name.
This is also something that many people in the three realms recognize.
For example, the Southern Territory belongs to the ruling area of Shengxian Sect, one of the three sects, and the Central Territory, the most elite among the three sects, has two sects: Wen Dao and Qing Luan!
Each sect has its own radiation and area of jurisdiction.
The only exception among the three domains may be the upper domain.
In this domain, fish and dragons are mixed together, and it is also the most chaotic place among the three domains. Not only the major forces in this domain, but also outside the domain, other domains, and even many casual cultivators and so on!
All these make the situation in the upper domain very complicated.
. . .
Different from the Five Elements Mountains behind, Zhenbei Huangcheng may look equally lively, but in this liveliness, even the air seems to be filled with an endless blood.
Just looking at it can give people a very different feeling.
From time to time, groups of monks were mobilized from the rear, and passed through Zhenbei City, spreading to the entire front line.
And in the sky above Zhenbei City, as long as you look up, you can see the spiritual ships and monks flying in and out one by one.
The feeling in this city is full of tension and order, even depression!
The city also seems to be very heavily guarded. From time to time, groups of immortal cultivators can be seen patrolling the city.
In the dark, there are many more.
And most places in the city are forbidden to approach at all.
Those who disobey will be arrested as spies sent by the barbarians. In serious cases, they may even be killed on the spot.
The entire Zhenbei Huangcheng is like a large monk military camp!
It is full of a style that is different from ordinary fairy cities.
It’s like being born for war!
In fact, it is indeed the case.
The Wang family put a lot of effort into establishing this city, and it was even entirely driven by the Wang family, and most of the resources invested in it were provided by the Wang family themselves.
You must know that this city not only has a long-distance teleportation array, but also a protective array that can even have an effect on the transformation of gods.
It is also necessary to invite the old monster who is proficient in this method in his domain to be able to lay it out.
This adds up to a lot of resources that need to be invested!
If you are lucky, you might be able to cultivate a god-turned-old monster.
The Wang family is just a family that is only a few thousand years old, or even less than 10,000 years old. In terms of background, among the three regions, it may be much stronger than the Shengxian Sect in the Southern Region. Up some.
But Chong is far inferior to Taoist Sect and Qingluan Sect!
In such a city, even these two sects would not feel distressed.
It can be seen how many resources the Wang family has poured into this city.
But if this city can survive the invasion of the ancient barbarians and the war between the two races, the resources invested by the Wang family will be very worthwhile!
Maybe the Five Elements Mountain behind Beihuang will gradually turn into an "inner domain"? !
It is no longer a border crossing.
The two ancestors of the Wang family are quite courageous.
No wonder Wang Chen keeps an eye on the battle on the front lines all day long, and often even takes charge of the arrangements and micro-management himself!
In fact, this is very important to the Wang family!
It cannot be said that he cannot afford to lose at all, but this loss will probably make even the transformed spirit feel heartbroken.
. .
While staying in this city, he looks like an ordinary foundation-building monk. His identity, appearance, and realm are all ordinary.
Overall, ordinary.
Throw it into the crowd, turn around, and no one will remember it!
The so-called big hermit is hidden in the city, and the small hermit is hidden in the wild.
He chose to hide in this city, and the level of foundation building is nothing in this city.
The only difference may be that he obtained an identity certificate through his "relationship" with a monk in a certain Taoist sect.
Unlike most monks, he will not be drafted.
In this frontline in the Northern Wilderness, most monks cannot escape the recruitment of the Three Domains Monk Alliance!
Not even many monks in the next three realms could escape.
It is said to be the Three Domains Monk Alliance, but in fact, it is the three sects and one sect in the Three Domains, a thing formed by these personalized god forces.
And when these personalized gods and monsters make a decision, this will be the will of the entire upper north three realms of immortality. In the entire three realms, no monks or forces will be able to stop or resist!
As a monk within the three sects and one sect, you can still have such a little power.
And the relationship he entered seems to be just an ordinary golden elixir disciple of the inner sect of Taoism!
In this huge front line, it is not very eye-catching.
In this way, he disappeared into the deserted city in the north of Zhenbei.
The one located in the Five Elements Mountain is just an incarnation of him. Ordinary monks may not be able to see it, but Wang Chen can definitely see it.
But I won’t ask any more questions.
There is no upper-lower relationship between these personalized gods in the three domains. At most, they will only temporarily unite when facing barbarians.
There are no caves for sale in the deserted city in the north of the town.
He rented a small house in this city.
There are only a few rooms in the entire building, not even a hundred meters apart from the front, back, left, and right.
And the spiritual energy is still quite thin!
Having been accustomed to moving around dozens or even hundreds of miles in caves, he instinctively felt a sense of unaccustomedness, or in other words, incompatibility.
Fortunately, he carries the cave with him everywhere he goes.
It is not necessary to stay here completely to practice.
Of course, with such a thin spiritual energy in Beihuang City, it is impossible for him to practice.
The only good thing may be that this house is in a good location in the city. There are many shops opened by monks in the city on both sides of the surrounding area. There are also many monks setting up stalls not far away.
It can be regarded as a trading avenue in Zhenbei Huangcheng.
And he also took a fancy to this place, so he planned to hide here.
I don’t know why.
He inexplicably remembered the time when he was in the ordinary city of Yuzhou.
Inexplicably so similar? !
It’s just that this body will never be the same again.
In the north of the town.
He looked like he was only in his twenties at most at the moment, but when he raised his head, his eyes gave people an inexplicable sense of the vicissitudes of time.
Although, this feeling is only fleeting. No one noticed at all. . .
During the time when the war between the two clans resumed, in the deserted city in the north of the town, more bookstores were quietly opened.
Its name is a bookstore.
In the bookstore, there are no magical secrets for sale, nor spells, secrets, etc., only some Taoist scriptures, scriptures, autobiographies, travel notes, and even secular books!
Under this background, it seems quite abnormal.
At this time of war between the two races, who is the serious person who would come to buy books and study? !
It’s not all about strengthening one’s own strength as much as possible.
Trying to survive in such a "chaotic world" of disputes?
So although the opening hours of a bookstore are not normal, the business in this northern desert city is not good, and it is even quite deserted.
Obviously we are on the bustling city street.
However, it is not always possible to receive many guests in one day.
Gu Changsheng himself was happy to be free.
I often go to the store with books and a recliner in my hand, and I can spend a whole day there, or I can copy some books one by one with my own hands.
He didn't care how many books he could sell.
Just enjoying this leisurely process, or recalling my past many years ago.
Perhaps some of the neighbors around him will be curious about him at first, but gradually they will get used to it.
Sometimes he also goes out for a walk.
Especially the monk's stall area in the city not far away is a place he often goes to. He doesn't expect to pick up any more big leaks, he just walks around and takes a look! !
Sometimes, he even sets up a stall here.
The things taken out are not that rare, most of them are very ordinary, no more than one or two spiritual objects at most.
It is very suitable for his current status!
. .
In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed in this city.
Gu Changsheng seems to have almost completely integrated into the city.
At least, at first glance, there is not much difference.
Ordinary, unremarkable!
It is completely impossible to tell that this is the old monster who is famous among the three realms, the first cultivator in the three realms!
In the eyes of most outsiders, this may be just an ordinary casual cultivator in the foundation building period, and it is not worthy of much attention.
“Alas, I heard that Fellow Daoist Liu has died in the red sand castle on the front line. The news has just come back.”
“What, Fellow Daoist Liu has also died?! Fellow Daoist Liu is in the late stage of foundation building. The monk is not yet a hundred years old, even if there is no possibility of Jindan, and I heard that there is a Jindan monk who is leading the team! After all, he also died in the front line of the Red Sand Castle!"
“Oh , let alone the later stage of foundation building, what does Jin Dan mean now in Zhenbei City and the entire Northern Wasteland? I heard that the entire Red Sand Castle has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and most of the monks cannot escape at all. With one life, it is very possible that even the Jindan master sitting in it..."
When this person started talking about this, he seemed to be keenly aware of the arrival of someone behind him. He quickly stopped talking and turned around to look. Sure enough, , there is indeed a figure.
His eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
"Fellow Daoist Huang, Friend Daoist Wang." Gu Changsheng returned the same courtesy.
It’s not that he wanted to listen to the conversation between these two people, but he happened to be passing by and it was difficult not to hear them, and these two people were also one of his neighbors.
“Did Fellow Daoist Jiang know that Fellow Daoist Liu died on the front line?!”
Daoist Huang asked him again.
Gu Changsheng nodded and nodded.
"Alas! I am really jealous of talented people." Huang Daoyou saw him nodding and said with emotion. Without waiting for his answer, he added:
"Liu Daoyou is also an amazing talent among us. Gorgeous people, if they hadn't died on the front line, they wouldn't even have the pill. There are no possibilities, but it is a pity that the body died overnight, and the Tao became empty, leaving a pair of orphans and a widowed mother at home, and I don’t know..."
At this point, I didn’t see any reaction from Gu Changsheng. Quite embarrassed, he then took out one or two invitations.
"Is this?"
Gu Changsheng and another fellow Taoist surnamed Wang accepted the invitation with a little doubt on their faces.
"Ahem..." Daoyou Huang cleared his throat and said concisely: "Invitation. Daoyou Liu has died on the front line, leaving orphans and widows alone in this city, helpless. I was entrusted by Taoist friend Liu to take good care of his widow..."
So, this is how you take care of her on horseback? !
Gu Changsheng and another fellow Daoist Wang looked at the red invitation in their hands, with a hint of surprise and even disbelief in their eyes.
If I didn’t know that Liu Daoyouquanxia knew something, he would be so angry that he would crawl out!
The corners of Gu Changsheng's mouth twitched.
But I still put this invitation into my sleeve.
The three of them continued to chat for a few more words on the avenue before they dispersed.
After returning to Youjia Bookstore, Gu Changsheng opened the door of the store and let the sunlight shine into his store.
Then he moved a deck chair in the store, facing the sun.
He casually took out a rather quaint book from his sleeve, held it in his hand and read it with relish.
And this book actually does not come from this world.
It is written by the Pearl of the Canghai Cave!
It is not some magic secret book for warriors to practice, it is just some mortals’ understanding of the Dao in the cave world.
But I have to say, there is indeed something.
But not much!
Not long after the store had just opened, the sunlight shining down from the door dimmed slightly, and someone came to the door. Gu Changsheng did not get up.
The man said hello to him, walked to the bookshelf at the back, and picked up a book from the rows of bookshelves.
Just by listening to this voice, Gu Changsheng could tell which book he had picked up without looking back.
The Legend of Yanhuo!
Among them, it records the life of a cultivator in the golden elixir realm seeking the Tao.
The person who is reading the book is considered to be the most loyal customer of his bookstore since it opened. Of course, he has always just watched and bought.
He should be just a mortal.
It takes many days to finish a book that is not thick.
With the sound of two people flipping through books.
The bookstore fell into silence again.
Until the sun was almost setting and the sky was rising at dusk, this person finally reluctantly put the copy of Yan Huo Zhenren back on the bookshelf.
He greeted Gu Changsheng a few times very politely, but Gu Changsheng did not respond.
And his attitude was still respectful, and he slowly walked towards the door of the bookstore, just as he had half of his feet out of the store.
Suddenly turned around and asked: "Senior, is it true that without spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate immortality?"
Half of his body was shrouded in the dusk falling from the sky.
The appearance is a little hazy.
Gu Changsheng raised his head slightly, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head.
"Spiritual roots are destiny."
