Chapter 2846 Secrets of the Immortal Family
It is getting late, and the tired bird returns to the forest.
The warriors at the gate of the city glanced at the dripping timer, then picked up the oversized drumsticks beside them and prepared to beat the closing drum.
The strange-looking animal skin drum makes a long sound every time it is struck, constantly echoing over the city.
The city gate opens when the bell rings, and the city gate closes when the drum sounds.
Dusk drums and morning bells guide thousands of households to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
After the drum beats, wait for a stick of incense for those who enter the city who return late.
As soon as the time is up, the city gate will be closed immediately.
The heavy city gate made a stiff friction sound, and under the control of several warriors, it was slowly coming together.
If you look carefully at this city gate, you will find a lot of things.
The main material of the city gate is ten thousand years of dark wood, which is deep in color and impervious to water and fire. Its density is comparable to gold and iron.
The materials of this city gate are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the price was the same many years ago.
Today, if you want to build such a city gate, you will need at least ten thousand taels of gold.
On this heavy city gate, there are rows of decorations, which are exorcism runes personally arranged by the rune master.
The golden light wards off epidemics and dispels plagues.
It is this wooden door with golden patterns that exorcises evil spirits, which helps the city block out the ghosts and evil spirits at night, allowing the residents of the city to sleep peacefully.
It is said that some warriors who defended the city neglected their duties, causing the city gate to not be completely closed, which then led to the disaster.
The dark wind blew through the long street that night, killing more than 130 households in total, and many others were killed or injured.
Early the next morning, it can be said that the whole city was wearing mourning, and the sound of crying and howling was endless.
Bodies were piled up all over the street, each one looking like a sick ghost, and the state of death was horrific.
Not only did more than a thousand people die, but evil spirits lurked in the city, making the whole city restless day and night.
With no choice but to raise a lot of money to invite monks from the sect to take action, the evil ghosts and evil spirits were finally killed and eliminated.
It was precisely because of that tragedy that the number of warriors at the gate of the city was specially increased, and the gate must be closed at the specified time.
"My lords, please wait a moment!"
As the door was closing, someone suddenly shouted loudly, and then a knight came from the woods outside the city. Rush out quickly.
You can tell by looking at the other party's dress that he is a caravan guard who has just returned from abroad.
As for the reason for calling a halt, naturally, they did not want the caravan to camp outside the city, where they might be attacked by evil spirits and beasts.
Such things happen often, and the warriors who defend the city are not surprised, but they are a little slower in closing the door.
At the same time as the shouts came, the warrior rode a horse at a high speed, and only turned over and dismounted when he reached the city gate.
Despite all his troubles, he immediately found the leader of the warriors guarding the city and showed a flattering smile.
"My lord, please be accommodating. Please wait a moment. Our convoy will arrive soon."
While speaking, the caravan guard took out a sling of ten shining coins and handed it to the warrior. leader.
After receiving the heavy coins, the warrior leader smiled and his attitude became much more relaxed.
“No problem, we are all residents of the same city, so it is reasonable to take care of us.
The goods of your business are good, and they are always of high quality and low price. Even if it is for the people of the whole city, we must do it. Wait a moment.”
"Thank you for your accommodation, sir. If you have any goods that you like, just tell me and I will sell them at the cost price!"
The caravan guard quickly thanked him, and at the same time, with a generous expression on his face, he inadvertently sent another A benefit.
He had also spent time in the army in the city in the past, and knew that without the money, these warriors who defended the city would not be so easy to talk to. The city officials are easy to deal with, but it is these guys with little power who are the best at doing things in secret.
“By the way, did your caravan find anything new and interesting during this trip?”
While waiting, the warrior leader looked at the caravan guard and asked in a curious tone.
This world's communication methods are backward and information is blocked. It may take half a year for things that happen hundreds of miles away to spread.
Caravans travel everywhere and have more opportunities to get in touch with new news. A lot of information from other places is passed through them.
Sending letters for others is also one of the businesses of these caravans, and the government also highly encourages this behavior.
There is a car in the caravan all year round, specially used to hold letters, ensuring that they are not empty every time they come and go.
"For fresh and interesting news, you've got to ask the right person!"
This caravan guard is already talkative. When someone asked about outside information, he just kept a little reserved and started talking excitedly.
“To talk about the major events that have happened recently, the first thing to mention is those practicing sects, which have almost caused a sensation in the entire world.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the news reaches us.
< br>I heard that they accidentally discovered a special world where the weeds were as big as pines and cypresses, and the corpses of giant beasts were as big as mountains
There are countless treasures in this world, which has attracted all the major sects to compete for them. Not only did they send all the monks from the sects to enter, but even countless warriors were recruited by the sects.
Just to seize the opportunity, obtain more treasures, and then enhance the strength of the sect.
It is said that the treasures obtained from that world are piled up in the treasure houses of various major sects. Because of the huge size of the treasures, one treasure is comparable to tens of millions of treasures.
Later, an ancient city was discovered. It was said that it was thousands of miles away, and the buildings in the city were like endless mountains.
There is a temple in the ancient city, which is about several thousand feet high and about the same size as our city.
It is said that the interior of the temple is full of exotic flowers and plants, each of which is a treasure of heaven and earth. Just picking a blade of grass can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold.
If a mortal takes just one bite, he can live a long life and be healthy and free from all kinds of diseases! "
When the warriors who defended the city heard this, they all showed expressions of shock and disbelief. They obviously couldn't believe that there were such huge houses and buildings in the world.
It's just that this story is fascinating, they Don’t dare to interrupt, lest the other party get angry He was so angry that he stopped telling the story.
The caravan guard did not care about the suspicious expressions of the city defenders, but continued to speak happily: "Just as the monks from the major sects were preparing to enter the temple and rob the precious things inside. When he was looking for the treasure, a god suddenly came.
Perhaps the actions of the major sects angered the gods. I saw a figure in the sky waving my hand, and then I saw the rolling flood sweeping over the sky and the earth.
The flood is cold and sticky. Once you fall into it, you can't get rid of it. It will turn into a pool of blood in just thirty to fifty breaths.
Countless monks died tragically in the torrent. Fortunately, the survivors dared to stay. They all tried their best to escape from that world. No one dared to enter it again. "
The caravan guard finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the warriors defending the city with a hint of pride.
When he heard the news, he was shocked and stunned. As a result, Being laughed at is unsightly.
Retelling it at this time, and seeing others showing the same expression, it is inevitable to feel a sense of pride in my heart.
"Everything you said is true, are you deliberately lying?"
The warriors who defended the city came back to their senses, always feeling that the news was too fantasy, and in their hearts Can't help but secretly feel suspicious.
"Believe it or not, my news comes from the nephew of the owner of the trading company. He is a distinguished monk of the sect and a real immortal figure."
When the caravan guard said this, he deliberately Mention the background of the caravan boss and hit on these city defenders.
Even if it is a fox pretending to be a tiger, it still has a certain effect.
While everyone was talking, a caravan slowly appeared and walked slowly towards the city gate.
