Chapter 964 The ancient city is weird(1/2)
The two of them rode on a sword together, warding against the wind, and whistling a hundred miles passed in a flash.
The ancient city mentioned in Hongying's mouth appeared in the eyes of the two.
The tall and thick earth walls have formed high city walls, and there are even ghost soldiers guarding with spears. They seem to have a good realm.
Just about ten feet outside the city gate, Ye Tian walked down with the sword and walked into the city with Hongying. After all, no matter where he was, it would be better to act in a low-key manner.
At the gate of the city, there are endless crowds of people, with strange looks, and there are ghosts and local ghost cultivators, but their characteristics are that everyone is wearing a black robe.
"What strange custom is they?"
Ye Tian turned around and asked.
"It seems that something big happened recently. People entering the city must wear black robes to express their identity."
Hongying said.
"Will there be any impact if we don't wear black robes?"
"It probably didn't. After all, I haven't heard of it yet. Let's go in and take a look first. If someone stops me, then we'll find another one and it's inconvenient to come."
Ye Tian nodded and accepted her proposal.
So the two of them squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the ancient city. Those who had never been wearing black robes would look eye-catching among the crowd.
But now that they were squeezed in the middle, no one noticed the difference between the two, and they went in smoothly.
"The guards above the city gate seem to be stronger than I had seen before."
Hongying suddenly said.
"Is it related to the big thing you said before?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Who knows this? After all, I'm stuck in the woods is not short."
Hongying said, feeling a little aggrieved.
Ye Tian nodded.
The two soon squeezed into the city with the crowd. Although the entrance to Chenmen was extremely crowded, after entering the city, they found that the space was very vast. There were people setting up stalls on both sides of the road, and the items on those stalls were all kinds of strange and diverse.
"Well? As I said before, this is a huge trading place, and maybe there will be something you are interested in."
Hongying smiled and seemed to be very proud of the information she provided.
But Ye Tian nodded without any more praise.
As the two of them continued to deepen, they discovered some unusual places, such as some people walking on the roadside. If they looked at each other, they would not help but stay for a moment, and look weird and walk away quickly.
Some vendor owners even whispered to each other and pointed at Ye Tian and the others.
"Why do they look like this? Did they discover our identity?"
Hongying was a little scared. It was because her bracelet was broken and she leaked her breath, so she was treated like a mouse crossing the street and everyone was beating her.
"It is impossible to leak aura. After all, my talisman still has a certain effect, and even if your breath is leaked, mine will not be able to leak it."
Ye Tian said it all.
After all, after he practiced the blue talisman during that period and received the aura of heaven and earth that belonged to this world, he would naturally be contaminated with some lingering aura. Now even the immortal flesh and blood are the same.
Hongying sighed helplessly and said.
"Then do you think it's because we are not wearing black robes like them?"
Ye Tian said lightly.
"Maybe that's the case, but we've come in now, and they haven't done anything other than a little look at each other, so the problem shouldn't be big..."
Although the words were so familiar, Ye Tian still kept an extra mind on the people around him.
The red warbler just approached a little silently.
The two of them walked down the road as if they were walking, while everyone around them looked hurried, as if they were busy doing something.
Only the surrounding stall owners were hiding under the black robe, and they couldn't see it clearly, but no one cared about the items in front of them.
Ye Tian was walking around casually and suddenly stopped in front of a street stall.
The red warbler stopped along the way.
"How do you sell this thing?"
Ye Tian asked, picking up an item like a round stone bead and weighing it.
The black robe slowly raised her head, and Ye Tian finally saw his true face clearly.
It was also a pretty human face, but it looked like a young man. I seemed a little surprised to see Ye Tian stop and ask, but it quickly returned to normal.
"If you don't support soul crystals, you can only barter."
The man said, his expression and tone as indifferent.
"What do you want?"
Ye Tian asked.
"What do you think he is worth?"
The young man asked back.
Although Ye Tian was a little surprised that the other party asked this, he cooperated with the exception to take out a magic weapon from the storage space of the disciple surnamed Lu.
"What do you think of using this for exchange?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Although it's a bit reluctant, but it's OK."
The young man took the magic weapon and put it in the storage bag to signal that the other party's bead was already his own.
"I still have some questions, I wonder if you can solve my doubts?"
Ye Tian suddenly said.
The young man looked at him and glanced at the nearby ones. He found that the people around him were not paying attention to him, so he put his eyes back on Ye Tian.
"What do you want to ask?"
The young man whispered, lowered his head and hid his face again in his black hood.
"I wonder why all those entering the city have to wear black robes? And what exactly is that big thing about to happen?"
Ye Tian asked.
"Wearing in a black robe is to show one's position, and big things are life and death."
The young man said, and his body leaning forward shrank back.
Ye Tian nodded and stood up.
He knew the other party would not say more.
"What, that person might as well not say it after he said it. He was confused and couldn't even explain it clearly."
Hongying complained.
"That person has said enough. Didn't you find that no one else doesn't say anything? Although you don't know the specific reason behind it, you can say less and do more to avoid getting angry. This is the truth that you won't be wrong anywhere."
Ye Tian said.
"But... but he has never said useful news. What big things are life and death, what can you tell if you stand out?..."
Hongying said, still a little dissatisfied. She looked more childish than when Ye Tian first met her, and she looked more like a little girl.
"It's really useless to pick up one of the messages, but it's useful to combine the two messages."
Ye Tian said.
"Wearing black robe is to stand up for the sake of making a clear stand. Why stand up for the sake of the next big event. And what is that big event? It is a matter of life and death. People are afraid of death, so people change into black robe and stand up for the sake of survival. On the other hand, if they don't wear black robe, they may die. So those people look at us strangely. After all, after all, it is no different to seeking death in their eyes when they come forward at this time."
After listening to Ye Tian’s analysis, Hongying’s face turned pale.
The wandering life and death during that period really made her feel a little scared and sensitive.
"Don't worry, even if there is anything big, we may not be able to meet. We just take a break here and find out where I'm going. It won't take too long."
Seeing her appearance, Ye Tian couldn't help but comfort her.
"If I were in danger, would you protect me?"
Hongying asked.
Ye Tian was stunned for a moment and said honestly.
"I'm just responsible for taking you to meet the person you want to meet, but... considering that there is still half of the scroll left in your hands, I will do my best."
Hongying was not disappointed when she heard this answer, but was a little happy.
This is better than hearing someone patting his chest directly and swearing to himself that he will protect himself and be happy.
After all, the two of them didn't know each other enough for a little time. Ye Tian in the bedroom could swear that he would be able to protect her well, and she would definitely not believe it.
