Chapter 147 Xuanjian City
After much thought, Tang Yue ran to Xuanjian City, which was not close to Wuji Mountain and close to Beihai, making it easier to escape from the sea. More importantly, Shui Xuanming didn't expect that she would go here. He might have thought that Meng Furong would return to Xianyuan Mountain or Huayue City.
He and Meng Furong met in Huayue City. It has beautiful scenery and prosperous humanities. It is a city that women like.
Xuanjian City only has two seasons: summer and winter. Summer is extremely hot and winter is extremely cold. Most of the people in the city are sword cultivators who advocate force, which is not what Meng Furong likes.
By the time Shui Xuanming searched Huayue City and Xianyuan Mountain, Tang Yue had already hidden him in Xuanjian City.
At this time, she was sitting at a stall in the northwest corner of the city eating noodles. The boss gave her a bowl of noodles full of toppings, "Thank you, boss, you are so kind."
The boss smiled and said, "I have never seen anyone like you. I hope you can stay here a little longer and make this noodle stall blessed."
This is the legendary face-swiping thing. , she experienced this feeling for the first time, "Thank you boss, I will enjoy it."
But thinking about Meng Furong's fate, she still tried not to bring bad luck to this small vendor.
The sound of a gong came from the street, and a Taoist priest wearing a guard's palace shouted: "The city lord's palace welcomes talented people regardless of origin or background, as long as the chief feels they can contribute to Xuanjian City , you can come and sign up for the competition, and if you pass, you can become a guest minister or even a guest elder.”
Tang Yue stopped him, "Is it true that anyone can give it a try?"
The guard couldn't see through her cultivation level, so he guessed that she was a high-level monk. The key was that she looked good. I have never seen such a beautiful female cultivator.
He replied enthusiastically: "There is no limit to registration. You will definitely pass the competition. Here is the registration time and address."
He took out a stack of paper from his arms and pulled out a A piece of paper was handed to her.
Tang Yue took it and looked at it. The registration time and location were written on it, and he thanked the little brother: "Thank you."
The little brother was very happy, "Your accent is ours. He’s from the north, but he’s not from Xuanjian City. He’s from Tianshui City?” You need to tell a complete stranger your personal information.
“I came from over there and wanted to visit Xuanjian City.”
“Then you have come to the right place. The most unique thing about Xuanjian City is our The City Lord's Mansion is said to be more prosperous than the human palace. However, the City Lord's Mansion is not exclusive to the City Lord's family, but is open to everyone. You can go in to visit, buy things, and handle various matters. You should go to the City Lord's Mansion first. Participate in the competition in the mansion, and then take a leisurely stroll around the mansion."
Tang Yue looked at the towering palace in the center of Xuanjian City, which could be seen at a glance even from the edge of Xuanjian City.
"I'm also curious about the palace in the center of the city. I really want to visit it. I thought it didn't entertain outsiders. I didn't expect the city lord to be so kind and open the city to the public."
The little brother heard that the beauty was very happy about this. Interested and even more excited, "You don't know, our palace in Xuanjian City was originally an imperial city, and it was inhabited by the Ji family royal family."
Another guard over there came over and saw that he was supposed to be patrolling The messenger on the street was talking to a very beautiful woman, and suddenly he felt angry, so he asked why there was no one there yet.
"Wu San, if you don't do your job, today's delivery mission will not be completed. Be careful of the money the deacon fines you."
The guard who called Wu San suddenly remembered his errand. Otherwise, he apologized to Tang Yue, saying, "I have something else to do, so I won't delay your meal. If you go to the city lord's palace to participate in the competition, I will personally take you around the palace and explain everything to you." "
Tang Yue smiled and said, "Okay, see you later."
The City Lord's Mansion is a good place. Kong Yingzong cannot attack in the City Lord's Mansion. That would be too disrespectful to the City Lord's existence. .
Now her primary goal is to avoid Zong Yingkong first, find ways to improve her strength, or get a big killer weapon, and kill Zong Yingkong in one fell swoop, then she will have completed her mission.
There are hundreds of people queuing up at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and many casual cultivators want to try it. Being a guest minister in the City Lord's Mansion is equivalent to having a formal establishment, and it is a good job to ensure the harvest during droughts and floods. There was a person wearing the uniform of the city lord's palace and patrolling the queue. When he came to Tang Yue, he bowed and saluted her, "Master, you don't have to queue here. Please come with me and register directly into the mansion."
A burly man next to him was dissatisfied, "Are you here to choose a guest or a beautiful lady? If it's the latter, why bother asking us to come? It would be better to go directly to the brothel."
There is insult in these words, then Before Tang Yue got angry, the monk from the famous city master's palace scolded him, "This master is already in the integration stage and is the highest among the monks in line. Of course he can enter the palace directly. Are you going to die if you talk such nonsense?"
The big man's face changed. He didn't expect that this stunning woman's cultivation level was so high. His life was in danger.
I was so frightened that I knelt down and said, "I am blind and can't see Taishan. Please help me, senior."
Others also looked curiously at this woman who was said to be in the fusion stage. , whether the monk's appearance can be maintained is related to the monk's cultivation speed.
The faster the cultivation speed, the slower the appearance will age. This woman's appearance is so young, but she is already in the integration stage, which shows that she has outstanding talent and is not an ordinary person. No wonder the city lord's palace directly invites her to join the palace.
The rude man gave in so quickly that Tang Yue didn't know how to react, "I don't blame you, I have suppressed the pressure so that no one can notice it. Get up quickly."
The steward of the city lord's palace said to the burly man: "Go back, you have offended our elders, and you will not be selected again."
The man's face was even worse, and he was actually waiting in line. He was eliminated in the process, which is extremely embarrassing.
The steward led Tang Yue to the inner courtyard, "Just answer a few of our questions and show off your aura."
Tang Yue was curious, "Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person who has done evil and come to the city lord's mansion to do bad things?"
The steward smiled and said, "So let you answer a few questions for us. The questions will be answered by Judge Tree. Judgment, if you lie, you will be discovered, and of course you will not be able to become an elder in the house. Also, you have to put the spiritual energy in front of the spiritual energy induction array to detect whether you are an evil cultivator. So as long as you go through these two steps. With just one step, your identity can be confirmed.”
Tang Yue was surprised that these two determination methods are so advanced and efficient. They are worthy of being possessed of magical powers in the world of immortality.
The palace of Xuanjian City was indeed huge. They walked for a while before reaching the yard where the Judge Tree was planted. The tree had a black trunk and black leaves, as if it had been through a fire.
"This is the Judge Tree. It is different from ordinary trees. It is completely black. It contains dark energy and spiritual energy, which can judge the good and evil of a person's soul."
Tang Yue praised, "There are actually trees in the world. Such a magical tree."
The steward smiled, "This was originally the palace of the old royal family, and they planted the Judge Tree here."
Tang Yue felt strange in his heart. , doesn’t this mean that everything here originally belonged to the Ji family?
She asked directly, "Does the Ji family have no objection to this?"
The steward smiled, there were always monks who were unclear about this history, "Although the Ji family has former royal family The bloodline is a collateral line and does not have the right to inherit the palace. Their branch had already established the Shangqing Palace when the royal family still existed.”
He looked up at the trees, "The Ji family destroyed the royal family together with several sects. They didn't mind who owned the palace, so the royal palace belonged to the first sect of cultivating immortals to enter the imperial city, which was Xuan. Yuan Shan. "
The steward turned to look at the woman again. He had never seen such a beautiful woman. He had an excuse to take a second look, "But Xuanyuan Shan prefers his Jian Shan. , Xuanjian City was built here, and disciples were selected to manage it. Now the palace is open to many monks, and they can use this palace that was only used by the royal family before. "
Tang Yue couldn't say anything. , Call it an improvement, but the palace still belongs to the City Lord's Mansion and Xuanyuan Mountain. Call it another kind of occupation, and they have indeed opened the palace to the monks.
I had no choice but to praise: "Xuanyuan Mountain and the City Lord's Mansion are really meritorious. They want to benefit ordinary monks."
The deacon looked proud, "This is our pursuit and ideal. I hope the world of immortality can become more fair.”
