Chapter 28 Yanling Castle
Qingliang City is an ordinary small city in Linzhou. Apart from the nearby Yanliang Mountain, there is no other feature of making any moves.
Mortals are ignorant of this mountain, but immortal cultivators know that the Yan Lingbao, the Yan family's important family of the first immortal cultivator in Yue Kingdom, is located in this Yanliang Mountain.
Because of the magic circle, even if mortals enter Yanliang Mountain, they cannot see the shadow of Yanling Castle. Only the monks know where they are.
Yanzhu, Li Feiyu, Yan family and his daughter traveled for more than 20 days, crossing a state, and finally arrived at Qingliang City.
After a little rest in this city, I went to Yanliang Mountain, walked dozens of miles in a row, and finally stopped between two peaks.
Looking around, there was nothing in front of me, with only some rocky grasslands scattered.
However, Yanzhu told the three that Yanling Castle was here.
When Li Feiyu and the other two heard this, they blinked and stared at the open space in front of them. There was no trace of Yanling Castle. It was obviously a barren mountain and ridge.
However, they knew that the ability of immortal cultivators could not be guessed. They could blind the eyes and ears of mortals with just a mere confusion, let alone magic circles.
Looking at the surprised gazes of the three of them, Yan Zhu smiled slightly, took out a token-like thing, then clasped his hands tightly and injected spiritual power. Suddenly, a yellow light shot out from the token, shooting towards the open space ahead.
In the originally empty void, the yellow light suddenly appeared five-colored light. When the light dissipated, Li Feiyu and others' eyes lit up, and a magnificent castle appeared in their sight.
This ancient castle is too majestic, with a city wall of more than 40 feet high. Standing alone under the city wall, it is like a tiny ant.
Inside the castle, there are tall ancient buildings, which are much larger than the mortal city.
Li Feiyu and the other two felt a sense of novelty and a sense of dizziness.
"This is Yanling Castle, one of the important places of my Yan tribe. Don't speak out when I talk to the monks inside." Yan Zhu said.
Li Feiyu and Yan's mother and daughter nodded. It was related to entering the fort, so naturally we could not be ambiguity.
Before coming, Yanzhu said that Yanling Castle is a place where monks and mortals live in harmony, and the rules are extremely strict. For example, monks should not interfere with the lives of mortals, and mortals must have the right attitude towards monks.
Of course, the status of monks and mortals is essentially different. As mortals, it is best not to provoke monks, because if there is a conflict between mortals and monks, the result will often be that mortals will disappear inexplicably.
As for where mortals go, people know it well, but no one will pursue it. Therefore, it is still important to have self-knowledge.
Just talk about Li Feiyu. Before he truly enters the path of cultivating immortals, he will try his best to stay away from other cultivators except Yan Zhu. This is for his own personal safety and cannot be careless.
Under Yan Zhu's leadership, they walked to a city gate. Two monks wearing Yan family robes closed their eyes slightly and stood on both sides of the city gate, as if closing their eyes to rest.
When they sensed someone approached, they suddenly opened their eyes. Although Yan Zhu had low magic power, he was still an immortal cultivator in the Yan family, so he naturally met these two monks.
He asked Li Feiyu and the other two to wait in place, and then he stepped forward to negotiate with the two Yan family monks.
The three monks were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Then, Yan Zhu pointed to the mother and daughter of Li Feiyu and Yan, who were standing there. The two Yan monks next to him nodded slightly, as if they agreed to the matter of entering the castle.
Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhu waved to the three of them, and Li Feiyu and Yan's mother and daughter immediately stepped forward and saluted the two monks according to the etiquette of mortals to cultivators that Yan Zhu had previously told.
"Since it's uncle Yan Zhu's family, there's no problem. You just need to register in the population book." A young monk said with a kind face.
At this time, another young monk spoke: "Uncle Yan Zhu should have told you the rules of Yan Ling Castle. Once a mortal enters, he cannot leave again in this life. As long as he enters this gate, there will be no regrets."
The three of them looked at each other. This was nothing to Li Feiyu. He had spiritual roots and would definitely be a monk in the future, while Yan and Mo Caihuan were different.
"Thank you, Master, for reminding me that Uncle Zhu has informed me of the rules here, and there will never be any regrets." Li Feiyu replied.
When the young monk heard this, he nodded slightly: "That's good. Our Yan family never forces mortals to move here, everything is voluntary."
As he said that, the two monks gave way, Yan Zhu said goodbye and led Li Feiyu and the other two into the city gate.
As soon as they entered, the few people were shocked by the prosperity of Yanling Castle. The bluestone road was full of pedestrians, and there were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, including those selling talismans, refining weapons, and alchemy raw materials, as well as those selling low-level magic weapons. Most of the owners of these shops were mortals, and they made a living by running shops.
This is not surprising, because the entire Yanling Castle is very large, with more than 100,000 people living in it. Only a very small number of these people have spiritual roots and can become monks. Most of them are ordinary mortals.
On the further street, Li Feiyu and others also saw shops dedicated to serving mortals, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The mortals in Yanling Castle cannot go out for the rest of their lives, and they also have to live and need all kinds of necessary goods.
However, compared with the shops serving monks, there are very few such shops. After all, this is an important place in the Yan tribe, and the monks support the Yan tribe are monks. Mortals are just vassals, so many things naturally have to be arranged around monks.
There are all kinds of pedestrians on the street, both men, women, and young and old. Their identities can be clearly identified from their clothes. The mortals' clothing is not much different from those of ordinary people outside the world. The monks wear Taoist robes, most of which are exclusive to the Yan family, with the word "Yan" embroidered on it.
Of course, there are also foreign casual cultivators.
Although the casual cultivators lack resources, there are occasional opportunities. Opening Yanling Castle and allowing those casual cultivators to come here will do more benefits than disadvantages to the Yan family.
However, it takes extremely complicated procedures to enter Yanling Castle, and the areas open to Yanling Castle are limited to casual cultivators.
"Come with me, you are not familiar with this place, don't walk around first. There are rules in many places, and you will know it later." Yan Zhu greeted the three of them and took them to his residence.
