Chapter 476 Pointing
From Shen Hao's point of view, this City of Death is like a place of opportunity, but the forces of all parties failed to control it, and instead created a new force. The birth of City of Death is also considered bizarre. There must be many key variables that are not reflected in the copy, otherwise it would not be able to explain why all parties made such a big mistake.
Today's Void Death City is a tyrannical force headed by the "City Lord", independent of the sect, the Jingjiu Dynasty, and the Treasure Sea Island Sect, and has absolute control over the ancient tombs and underground palaces within it.
Putting down the last copy of this type of copybook, Shen Hao now has a rough understanding of the city of death in vain.
Read on.
Wushi City is located near the confluence of Ruoshui and Xia Rivers, out of the boundary of the old Jing Dynasty, and sandwiched on a peninsula in the Treasure Sea.
Because in the early years, there were many confrontations between Wushi City and various forces, and even many small-scale conflicts broke out, so for all parties, Wushi City does not belong to the friendly camp.
On the contrary, all those who are not in the right direction with the mainstream forces of all parties regard the city of dead dead as a shelter. As long as you pay the offerings on time and follow the rules to contribute when the city needs it, then the city will allow anyone to enter and provide protection.
With this opening, one can imagine the situation in the dead city.
Mixed fish and dragons are not enough to describe it.
This is similar to Shen Hao's expectation, because only such a chaotic and orderly place can accommodate those pseudo-evil monks who set up sects in it.
However, as far as the top local forces in the city of vain death are recorded in the case files, the "Zhengyang sect" that Ma Sankui confessed to before was not found.
It is not very likely that Ma Sankui lied before his death. It is more likely that this Zhengyang sect is not well-known in the city of vain death, and is far from being ranked.
But it was also clearly stated in the copy that evil cultivators were often seen in the city of Wushi, and evil spirits were often seen outside the city. But I didn't see the evil cultivator causing trouble near the dead city.
In addition, because the city of vain death belongs to the peninsula, the sea of treasures lies to the south, and with the ancient tombs and underground palaces on it, the island sects in the sea of treasures sometimes appear in the city of vain death.
The so-called "Island Sect" is actually a surrogate name given to each other by the monks in the Jingjiu Dynasty for the convenience of distinguishing each other. As the name suggests, it is the monks of the sect on the island.
Shen Hao had read the description of Daozong in some miscellaneous notes before. It is said that the origin of the island sect is actually a sect on land. Later, due to exploration and crossing the sea, some were buried in the belly of fish, and some found a wonderful place in the sea and immediately established a sect, and finally gradually grew and became the island sect.
According to the Miscellaneous Notes, the monks on the island sect have the same origin as those on land, but their skills are completely different, especially when fighting, they have two completely different ways.
Finally, after reading the copybook, Shen Hao already had a clear impression of the City of Dead Death in Shen Hao's mind.
However, it is not easy to enter the City of Death.
First land. The land routes are basically under the siege of the Jingjiu Dynasty. If you want to enter the city of Wushi by land, you have to cross the checkpoints set up by the Jingjiu Dynasty. Not to mention the official road, even if you walk on the mountain road, there are many field outposts of Jingjiu Dynasty to watch, and ordinary people don't want to sneak across.
However, if you want to enter the city of death through normal channels, the procedures are complicated, or you have a letter of recommendation from the sect.
It can be seen from this that although the Jingjiu Dynasty lost control of the City of Death, at least it has mastered the main roads, which counts as some starting points.
Even 90% of the various materials consumed in the dead city were transported by the old Jing dynasty.
In addition to land, there are also waterways that can enter the City of Death.
You can go directly to Wushi City along Ruoshui and Xiahe waterways, but you also need to go through the water village of Jingjiu Dynasty to check. The other is not to take the river, but to take the sea. As long as there is a boat, the coastal area can reach the pier south of the City of Death. And even the hinterland of the barbarians can also come by sea boat.
Such a study will understand why those pseudo-evil monks established their sect in the city of death. It's really convenient, not only can you not worry about being wiped out by Jing Jiu Dynasty or other sects, but you can also travel freely by sea and land. Whether it is going to the barbarians or smuggling to Jingjiu Dynasty, it is not difficult.
However, if he wants to go in and investigate the "Zhengyang Sect" that Ma Sankui mentioned, Shen Hao feels that he has to make some calculations. At the same time, he has to figure out which group of people the Jingjiu Dynasty stationed in the city of Wushi. It must not be Xuan. Qing Wei, the golden sword monk is the most likely.
In addition to official business, Wushicheng also put a private matter of Shen Hao back on the agenda.
Of the two Yinyu maps in his hand, one of them is a fragment of a labyrinth route, and it is not known exactly where it is drawn. But the location of the other piece was determined before, but at the time I didn't know that the sign on the map was the City of Death.
Now that the second map is confirmed, and according to the situation of the City of the Dead, the first thing Shen Hao thinks of is the maze-like route map in his hand. Could it be related to the tomb or the underground palace under the City of the Dead?
Shall we go and have a look?
Shen Hao was a little moved. He got one of the Yin jade maps from the auction, and several people from the auction died because of this map. It was obvious that someone wanted to pursue this map. And the map itself is also very strange, if Shen Hao hadn't had the help of the black beast tattoo, he would have never been able to find the map lines attached to the surface of the Yin jade.
The other map was obtained by chance from a strange place. And the strange place is probably the origin of the Yinyu map.
If the route of the labyrinth marked on the map is the tomb or the underground palace under the city of the dead, does that mean that the tombs and the palace under the city of the dead actually have some kind of direct connection with the strange place?
Of all the strange events that Shen Hao has seen in this world so far, there are two that he remembers most deeply. One is the black beast tattoo on his chest, and the other is the origin of the strange place.
What these two incidents have in common is that Shen Hao has absolutely no clue to explain it.
How did the black beast tattoo come about? How did the strange place appear?
If you don't know clearly, it's best not to rush forward. Even though he was curious in his heart, Shen Hao's rationality told him that it was best not to worry, it was not yet time for him to participate.
Take the two maps in your hand, and then spy secretly to continue accumulating strength. If he really wanted to go to the City of Death to search for things on the map, his current cultivation level would not be enough.
After reading the copybook, Shen Haoyou selected some important ones to read again, and waited until the little banner officer from Yiku came in to remind him that the time was up before he closed the copybook and got up to leave.
When he returned to Fengsun City, Shen Hao already had a rough plan in his mind. After the relevant version of the "Ma San Case" was rewarded, it can be put on the agenda after a period of rest.
