Chapter 650 Sand Burial
"Well……"
Zuo Yang was a little uncomfortable with the performance of the Palace Master of Xichi. What he was more accustomed to was noble, cold and arrogant, and occasionally he was rude to him regardless of his image.
However, after a moment of stunnedness, he saw that the face of the palace master was gradually showing a look of embarrassment, and his reaction was also very fast. He quickly made a move and bowed to thank him: "Thank you for your concern. The palace master's teachings will definitely keep every word in mind."
On the other hand, the second palace master Su Xu's reaction was also very fast.
"That... sister, young master, I suddenly remembered that there are still some things that need to be dealt with on my side. As you chat, I'll go do the business first."
As she spoke, the second palace master Su Xu didn't care about the reaction of Xichi Palace Master and Zuo Yang. He turned around and left the main hall in a hurry as if he was running away. At this moment, her lame old disease seemed to be much better, and ordinary people could not keep up with her speed.
“…”
Zuo Yang looked at Su Xu's back speechlessly, which seemed to be escaping.
However, the Lord of Xichi did not take it at all. He just glanced at Zuo Yang and explained forcibly: "I am not concerned about you. I must remember the martial arts conference that I told you before. You are the most outstanding disciple of Yihua Palace. If something unexpected happens on this trip, it will be difficult for me to find a more suitable candidate to attend the meeting within three months. What will hurt me at that time will be my face. Do you understand?"
"Disciple understand."
Zuo Yang quickly responded well.
"Just understand."
The Palace Master Xichi finally nodded and warned solemnly, "Anyway, you must come back on time in three months. If you don't come back, it would be fine if you die. If you are not dead, I will regard you as the second Yang Peifeng. This position of Wuque Gongzi will find another candidate. From now on, there will be no place for you to stay in Yihua Palace."
"Don't worry about the palace master, the disciple will definitely come back on time and will never delay."
Zuo Yang promised again.
"Then I will not delay your affairs. You go. I am tired, so I will go and rest first."
After saying this, the Palace Master Xichi looked at him again, then turned back to the back hall.
"Take care of the palace master, and the disciple will leave."
Zuo Yang bowed and turned around and walked outside.
After leaving the main hall, he suddenly thought of a strange detail in the words of the Palace Master Xichi: Didn’t I just go out for a long trip? Even if I didn’t come back on time, I would hurt the face of the Palace Master Xichi and deprive him of the position of Wuque. These are reasonable, but why would I be regarded as the second Yang Peifeng?
What does the Palace Master mean?
Could it be...
...
Before leaving, Zuo Yang went to the official website and forum to search for information about the Western Regions.
In fact, in this game, there are many entrances in the Western Regions. These entrances are located at some passes on the border between the Central Plains and the Western Regions. As for the Suzhou City where Zuo Yang is currently located, some are closer than Yanmen Pass, while others are further away than Yanmen Pass.
He could have considered those relatively close passes, but in the end he chose to set out from Yanmen Pass.
Because the [Records of Western Regions of Views and Experiences] that he exploded from Yang Peifeng completely took Yanmen Pass as the origin. No matter where he searched, the result was also "How many miles did Yanmen Pass go in a certain direction, and what should be paid attention to when he goes through several names or more distinctive places."
Therefore, if you want to use this [Record of Western Regions of Views and Experiences] to accurately reach destinations that are not displayed on the map at all, it is definitely the most suitable to start from Yanmen Pass.
Taking these factors into consideration, after Zuo Yang left Yihua Palace, he headed north to Yanmen Pass.
During this period, I first used the [Ancient Tomb Sect Life Card] to teleport to the tomb of the Living Dead. Because the tomb of the Living Dead is located in the north and is closer to Yanmen Pass, it saves a lot of distance. At the same time, I can also visit Long Yuyou and say goodbye to Long Yuyou... In addition, I took off the line for lunch at noon, so at around 4 pm, he finally arrived at Yanmen Pass.
Unlike Yanmen Pass, which has become a tourist attraction in today's reality, the main color of Yanmen Pass here is black and yellow, revealing the atmosphere of desolation and desolation everywhere.
On the tall city walls, there are traces of swords passing by. On the quasi-ma under the city tower, there are extremely obvious blood stains in some places, and even the air can be vaguely smelled the smell of yellow sand and blood mixed together... However, there are not many players here.
Because Zuo Yang read the introduction of Yanmen Pass on his official website, this place is not only one of the entrances to the Western Regions, but also one of the hidden sects that are as famous as the Five Immortal Sect and Nianluoba in the game, and the base camp of the "Shenji Camp".
Therefore, players holding spears or carrying crossbows can be seen everywhere here.
The most skillful martial art of Shenji Camp is its marksmanship. It is reasonable for players of Shenji Camp to use spears as weapons. As a hidden sect associated with the Ming Cult, Shenji Camp will naturally accept many players of the Ming Cult. The most skillful martial art of the Ming Cult is also shooting skills. It is reasonable for many players carrying crossbows here to appear here.
The pattern of Yanmen Pass is a city with the shape of "Zhong". The vertical line of the character "Zhong" is the Great Wall that resists the invasion of foreign races, and the box is the city of Yanmen Pass.
The city is divided into two gates: north and south.
The gate facing the Central Plains faces the Central Plains. If it were not for war, the martial arts people and people in the Central Plains could enter and exit through this gate. However, as a pass, the security checks for entry and exit here must be much stricter. Fortunately, this is a martial arts game after all, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city will not confiscate the players' weapons.
The gate opened northward faces directly to the Western Regions, and the security check of that door will be more stringent. If someone wants to go out, he must go to the General's Mansion to apply for a document for pass. If he does not have this document, he will not be able to prove his identity. The officers and soldiers guarding the city have reason to suspect that you are a detailed work in the Western Regions and will definitely not let it go easily.
In addition, there is also a document posted on the city wall, which clearly marked the passage time of Yanmen Pass.
Only during the day, that is, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., will Yanmen Pass open the city gate. Anyone who wants to pass must plan the time, otherwise once the time is missed, a curfew will be imposed here. Even if there is a big deal, he can only wait until the door is opened before doing it.
However, the players of Shenji Camp are not very affected by this time, because Shenji Camp itself is not actually in Yanmen Pass City, but is only in a training ground almost connected to Yanmen Pass on the Central Plains. Therefore, if they were not going out of the pass, they did not need to enter Yanmen Pass.
After a little observation of the environment of Yanmen Pass, Zuo Yang did not hesitate much and then raised his foot and walked into Yanmen Pass.
"Stop, check!"
The guards of Yanmen Pass drank him, but they were relatively tolerant of a player. They just looked at him briefly, then slapped him a few times and then searched him.
"Thank you for your hard work, my brother."
Zuo Yang also made a polite statement with the guards, and then took the opportunity to ask, "Brother, I think I'm out of customs now, and I don't know where to go to apply for the pass certificate?"
"Out of seclusion today?"
The leading guard frowned, turned his head and looked at the sun that had already floated to the west, and then said, "The sun is about to set, and the city gate will be closed less than an hour later. If you leave the customs now, you will definitely not be able to come back tonight. The evenings in the Western Regions are not as good as the Central Plains. I advise you to think clearly. Even if you are a man in the martial arts world, it is best not to take this risk."
"Brother's reminder is reasonable, but I do have urgent matters."
Zuo Yang said with a smile.
"What's more important than life?"
The guard immediately asked with a stern face, but soon he waved his hand again and said unsurprisingly, "Forget it, you martial arts people don't take their lives as their lives. They are all stubborn. No one can stop you if you have to die... If you go west of the city, you will soon see an official. As long as you go to the government to receive a 10 tael of silver in the workplace, the pass certificate will be issued immediately. This is the case with our Yanmen Pass. It is much easier to get out of the pass than entering the pass."
"Thank you, brother. I have worked hard to guard the border. I'll take this to invite my brothers to drink."
Seeing that the guard was a straightforward man, Zuo Yang answered his question happily, and even took out 10 taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into his hands for the first time. Then he walked into the city.
"Hahaha, it's easy to say!"
The hand was heavy, and the guard's face suddenly showed a smile. He turned around and said to the group of guards behind him, "Brothers, I have some drinks tonight. I'll take this little brother to apply for the pass certificate. If someone queued up, take him into the queue!"
"Oh? Is this possible?"
Zuo Yang was stunned. He was originally looking at the vicissitudes of the guards and soldiers, and he remembered the scene of the people's soldiers serving the people in the flood, on snow-capped mountains, and in earthquake-stricken areas in reality. Therefore, he felt that he had done such a move that he would never do at all.
Unexpectedly, there were such unexpected gains.
While speaking, a young guard had already arrived in front of Zuo Yang and said with a smile: "Brother, come with me, I promise to do the pass certificate clearly for you."
"Then it's a labor."
Zuo Yang was disrespectful and followed him with a smile.
"We should thank you for your thanks."
The young guard was leading the way and chatting with him, complaining, "Brother, you don't know anything. A border town like us, with high mountains and far away emperors, the military pay paid from the above was exploited layer by layer, and it was difficult for us to even have enough food. Sometimes we have to rely on the people in the city to help us. We don't have any spare money to drink, and we are not afraid of you to make jokes. We brothers have not drunk enough for three months, and we are greedy."
"Does the city guard generals at Yanmen Pass know about this?"
ァNewヤ~8~1~Chinese website.x~8~1zщ.om
I didn't expect that playing a game would be so profound that even such a typical social phenomenon was reflected. However, this kind of thing was obviously beyond the scope of Zuo Yang's ability to intervene, so I had to smile and ask casually.
"So what if you know, so what if you don't know? Even the city lord is just a leader who is working hard to the superior. At most, he can be considered a supervisor. So what can she do?"
The young guard shrugged and said helplessly.
“That’s right…”
Zuo Yang expressed his understanding that even if he was a city lord, he could only be considered a grassroots official when he was assigned to such a remote place. Grassroots officials were actually just working hard, and of course there were also some vampires who gave the blood of the people.
While speaking, the two of them had already entered the city gate and then walked towards the government office on the west side of Yanmen Pass.
It has to be said that although Yanmen Pass is not as prosperous as Suzhou City, its scale is only large and there are all kinds of NPC merchants, and there are even some businesses that Suzhou City does not operate at all, such as those who sell grain, kettles, umbrellas, and straw raincoats...
Zuo Yang has already learned about these things and they are all essential items to enter the Western Regions. If you don’t prepare these things, it will be really difficult to survive in the Western Regions.
As for players, there are relatively fewer ones. The main reason is that many players are not strong enough. When they come to such places, they are simply sent to death, or if their skill level does not meet the standards, they are not even qualified to apply for a pass certificate, so naturally there is no need to come here to be despised.
After a moment.
Under the leadership of this young guard, Zuo Yang successfully entered the government office.
The first thing I passed was a large-scale schoolyard. Due to the environment, except for a circle of runways, the large area in the center of the schoolyard was covered with yellow sand.
And in the yellow sand, a woman sat on the ground as if no one was around.
She has a beautiful appearance, with long black hair that reaches her waist, and a light green dress. In the gradually descent sunshine, she looks like an eye-catching landscape.
I saw her holding a handful of fine sand in both hands, letting her five fingers loosen, letting the yellow sand scatter on her dress, dyeing the light green dress yellow, and repeating this cycle... Well, this set of clothes must be washed.
"This is our city lord, she is also a poor person."
Noting Zuo Yang's gaze, the young guard sighed and shook his head helplessly and said, "You must be very confused about the actions of our city lord now. Our city lord is called "burial of sand". This is a legend outside the border. It is said that if any infatuated woman wears beautiful clothes and puts herself in the sea of sand, God will give her a promise to turn her longing into a grain of sand in the sea of sand and convey it to the person she cares about the most."
"Um."
Zuo Yang nodded, but was not surprised at all.
Because he knew that this was actually an adventure mission, players had already announced it on the forum. Any player who came to Yanmen Pass and encountered the "burial sand" could take the initiative to go up and talk to the city lord of Yanmen Pass, and then he could get an adventure mission from her that he needed to enter the Western Regions to complete.
This task has not been completed so far because few players can go deep into the Western Regions.
Chapter completed!
