Chapter 1169 Night Devil City
It just so happens that Ye Tian has no way to inquire about the news now, if he goes to this evangelistic meeting with them, he should be able to inquire about some news he wants to know.
Now he needs to know why he can't use his aura, and he needs to find the substance to repair the space to bring back.
After all, his heart is still tied to the mortal beings in that world just now, and he doesn't want that world to collapse and be sucked into nourishment, otherwise everything he fought hard for would be empty.
Then Ye Tian followed the team on the road.
"Brother Ye, I dare to ask what level you have reached in your cultivation now." Zhang Liang asked Ye Tian.
"Zhang Liang, how can you ask someone about this?" Lin Lin next to him looked at Zhang Liang with some reproach. If what Ye Tian said was true, then he would not be able to reveal his cultivation easily when he was alone outside. .
"To be honest, I have practiced with my father since I was a child. Since my father died, I have been alone. When I reached a bottleneck, I didn't know what to do next, so I came out to practice." Ye Tian said with a smile.
"That's right."
Gu Yuan, the leader, heard Ye Tian's words, turned his head and said.
"If Brother Ye trusts me, you can display your cultivation base, and we can help you judge which realm you are in now."
Facing Gu Yuan's words, Ye Tian just shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know why, after going down the mountain, I couldn't use my spiritual energy anymore. The operation I learned before was hindered, so I couldn't move when I confronted the giant python."
Seeing that Ye Tian had finished speaking, Gu Yuan nodded and turned his head away again.
Now they don't know how much Ye Tian's words are true or false. It's just that this person is in the wilderness, and they brought him with compassion after seeing what he said.
No matter what Ye Tian said was true or not, since he didn't want to show his strength hastily, they shouldn't ask further, otherwise it would appear a little aggressive.
Turning around a corner, the road suddenly opened up, and there were more pedestrians on the way.
"You will arrive at Night Demon City a few tens of miles ahead. Since Brother Ye doesn't know the situation in this world, let me explain something to you." Lin Li saw that he was about to arrive, and said enthusiastically to Ye Tian.
"Okay, then I will trouble you."
Hearing Ye Tian's answer, Lin Lin began to talk about it.
"The Demon Slaughter City used to be a fortress. The burial place of gods and demons we passed was a battlefield a long time ago. This fortress guarded the battlefield and has never been captured by the enemy."
"Later, the war here ended, and it has become a gathering point for people, and there are endless traders coming and going. So the general at that time ordered to build a city here."
"Finally, due to the retreat of the Demon Realm, many prisoners of war and orphans were left behind, living here with humans, so it was named Demon Slaughter City, as a commemoration of those wars."
Listening to Lin Lin's description, Ye Tian also knew a little more about this world. It seemed that the demon world and this world had fought many years ago, but he didn't know who would win or lose after the war ended.
"Look, this is Night Devil City."
What came into view was the simple gray-black city wall, densely packed with grooves and cracks, and many remnants were printed on the city wall, giving off a chilling atmosphere.
"This city wall has a long history. The grooves, marks and weapons on it are all left over from the war. After the general built the site, we must keep it, saying that it is to let people always be alert to the invasion of the demons back then. .”
Ye Tian looked at the city wall, what he saw was not one after another weapon or those dents, his eyes saw the remnants of these weapons gathered in one place in the city wall, forming a gray-black Its spherical shape looks like it is nourishing something.
Ye Tian looked at the few people around him, looking at those knife marks with awe in his eyes, and didn't notice the mysterious power in the wall.
Could it be that he has a special ability in this world?
Ye Tian laughed at himself when he thought of this, he had practiced for many years, why did he suddenly have such a strange idea.
He shook his head, seeing that the people around him didn't notice, and he wasn't going to say anything, he just followed a few people and walked towards the city gate.
The city gate was made of black gold and was very strong. A long table was placed at the entrance of the city, and several soldiers stood here to check the flow of people passing by.
When those people walked to the table, they showed a token in their hands to the soldier, and then the soldier nodded and let the person go.
"Brother Gu, what are they showing the soldiers?" Ye Tian asked Gu Yuan.
"Brother Ye, don't you know? I even wonder if you are from our world." Gu Yuan looked at Ye Tian with a half-smile.
Hearing what he said, Ye Tian felt vigilant in his heart. Could it be that this artifact is more common in this world? If this is the case, it seems that this question is not very good.
"This is an identity token for each of us. Generally, when you are born, your identity will be registered and recorded, and then an identity token will be made for you. After you practice, it will be injected with your own unique identity. This is your exclusive identity token, not only for cultivators, but also for ordinary people." Gu Yuan explained this token to Ye Tian.
The more Ye Tian heard it, the more he felt bad. This identity token seems to be something to prove a person's identity in this world. It seems to be very important. If he can't prove his identity, it will be inconvenient to pass.
"Ye Tian, don't you have this token?" Xu Nuo asked.
"I have been living with my parents since I was a child. My parents are also normal farmers when they are not practicing. They rarely go out. I have never seen such a thing."
"It's a bit unreasonable if you haven't seen it before." Lin Kai raised his eyes to look at Ye Tian, his eyes were full of disdain. He was the one who raised objections to Ye Tian's joining the team before.
"But I really haven't seen it before." Ye Tian replied.
Everyone saw that Ye Tian's affirmative expression didn't seem like he was lying, but the fact that he didn't have an identity token was not a big deal, and it wasn't a small thing. Those creatures who came from the devil world also didn't have an identity token, and they often didn't go far. Was caught and imprisoned.
Half pay, Gu Yuan stepped forward and said.
"How about this, Brother Ye, we will take you in first, and then you need to go to the Candle Soul Store to prove your identity and make sure that you are not from the devil world, so that you can reissue an identity token."
"Okay." Ye Tian agreed.
The best way now is to enter the city first, inquire about the news, and then consider what to do next. Since it is only a self-certification, then he is indeed not from the devil world, so there should be no difficulty.
Then, a group of people walked to the city gate.
"Stop, show your badge, and tell us the purpose of your trip." Seeing that there were many people in this group, the soldier stopped them.
The team members showed their tokens one by one. When it was time for Ye Tian, Gu Yuan spoke first before he and the soldiers could tell the reason.
"Officers, we are from Jiyun Island, and we are ordered by our master to go to Ziluo Island to pay homage to the event."
The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, the leader was suddenly a little puzzled, besides, did this matter have anything to do with them.
"It's like this. This is our little junior brother. He was raised by an elder on the mountain since he was a child, and no one took him down to handle it. So this trip happens to be done in the city."
Seeing what he said, the soldiers understood.
"This is easy to handle. You can show your teacher's token, and we can let you enter the city."
Seeing this, Gu Yuan took out another token from his pocket and gave it to several soldiers. After they observed it carefully, they nodded to one of the soldiers sitting at the table, and then said to Gu Yuan and his party.
"Okay, you can go in."
Ye Tian followed a group of people into the city, but he didn't say much on the way. After all, when this incident happened, Gu Yuan was too troublesome, and he was a little embarrassed.
When he reached an intersection, Gu Yuan turned around and said to Ye Tian.
"How about this, let Senior Sister Lin Lin take you to Candle Soul Hall to prove your identity first, and let's find the place to transfer to the airship first." After finishing speaking, he paused and looked at Ye Tian with a serious face.
"If you can prove your innocence, we will wait for you to reserve a place for you there. If you can't prove your innocence, then Senior Sister Lin Lin will come back alone. We will also handle your other matters." Never mind."
"Don't blame us for being ruthless, we still don't want spies from the devil world coming in to harm our world."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Seeing Gu Yuan's doubts, everyone around him also remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye Tian had no choice but to follow them and go to the Candle Soul Hall with that Lin Lin.
He knew that troubles would arise sooner or later if he didn't know his identity, but he didn't expect that entering the city gate would arouse suspicion so soon.
According to Gu Yuan's arrangement, they walked together with Lin Lin, and the two of them did not talk to each other on the way.
The clothes on his body had been changed a long time ago. After saving him, Gu Yuan saw that he was in rags, so he took out a set of clothes from his storage space and changed them for Ye Tian.
I heard that Gu Yuan's clothes are made of silk from the sea lotus monster's skin. The skin of this monster is different from others. It can befriend the aura floating in the heaven and earth, which is good for cultivation.
Ye Tian watched these people and hurried on his way.
After a while, the Candle Soul Hall will arrive.
Standing at the door, Lin Lin turned his back to Ye Tian and said.
"Although I don't know what your real identity is, after getting along for such a short time, I don't think you are a villain. I hope you won't let me down after you go in and prove yourself."
After finishing speaking, he went straight in without waiting for Ye Tian to reply. Ye Tian was a little puzzled, he and her were just acquaintances on the road, and they hadn't experienced anything together, so how could they think of these weird things.
It is said that the name of the Candle Soul Hall has something to do with the soul. I thought it would have a dull tone, but I never thought that the temples I saw before were different, the whole body was silver and white, and there were exquisite reliefs in the temples.
The most eye-catching thing is a strange object in the center of the hall, several rings surround each other, and the cold blue fire in the middle is shining there, and the flames seem to reflect the emotions of all living beings.
Seeing that Ye Tian's attention was attracted by the objects in the center, Lin Lin said.
"This is the Holy Lord's soul fire in our central Holy Continent. Almost every Candle Soul Hall has a ray of the Holy Lord's split soul fire. For the people, it symbolizes safety. After all, another important purpose of the Candle Soul Hall is Store the soul fire."
Soul fire is a very important thing for monks. If you go out to find adventures, or practice in seclusion, you will split a wisp of soul fire and hand it over to someone you trust for safekeeping, because soul fire symbolizes life and death. If the soul fire is extinguished by external force, the main body will also suffer backlash.
After finishing speaking, he dragged Ye Tian to the front desk.
"Hello, I need to apply for an identity token."
The young lady at the front desk flashed a professional smile at the two of them, and randomly took out a paper and pen from her hand in a daze.
"Please fill out this application form first. After filling it out, go to the certification room to prove it to the person in charge. After passing it, you can get the identity token."
It's really interesting, Ye Tian has never seen such a standardized process before, and the efficiency is so fast, which is rare in his original world.
Lin Lin guided Ye Tian to fill it out, and then brought Ye Tian to the proof room.
The four walls of the proof room are all white, and a person sitting in the middle is looking at the paper in his hand, thinking about something.
Seeing Ye Tian coming in, the man put down the document in his hand and looked up at the two people who came in.
"From ID card?"
Seeing Ye Tian nodded, the man came out from behind the table again, and imprinted a jade talisman on Ye Tian's forehead with lightning speed.
When Ye Tian saw this change, he wanted to block it with his hands, but he couldn't use his spiritual energy, and he was restrained when he barely lifted his hands halfway up.
Lin Lin next to her didn't change. After all, she was an aborigine here. The people in charge put the jade talisman on their foreheads to sense whether this person had the intention of endangering the world when people relaxed their vigilance.
The jade talisman gradually shone, and the light shrouded Ye Tian's head. Ye Tian felt a strange aura sweeping through his mind.
After a cup of tea, the light slowly disappeared. The jade pendant did not change. After careful observation, the person in charge took the paper from Lin Lin's hand, put it on the table, stamped it, and handed it back, indicating that they can leave.
Seeing that the proof was over, Lin Lin hurriedly dragged Ye Tian out who hadn't recovered yet, his eyes were full of joy.
...
Not long after they left, the jade talisman on the table unexpectedly shone with gray-white light.
The person in charge was a little puzzled looking at this light, so he took out a parchment scroll from under the table, opened it for inspection, and muttered slowly.
"No state: not dangerous. Yellow brown light: someone from the devil world..."
There is a line of writing on the other side.
"Gray and white light: does not belong to this world."
Seeing this, the person in charge hurriedly chased him out.
At this moment, Ye Tian was already walking on the street with his identity badge, and Lin Lin next to him was smiling, as if he were two people when he entered the Candle Soul Hall.
"Why, I'm happy to see that I have no other questions?"
Seeing what Ye Tian said, Lin Lin was a little embarrassed.
"No, even if you're not a bad person, it's still pretty good, at least it proves that I'm not mistaken."
Ye Tian smiled, this senior sister is pure-hearted, she is so happy to see that he can prove his innocence and is not a bad person.
It's just that the light that scanned Ye Tian's brain just now made Ye Tian feel a little uncomfortable. He could feel that the light didn't read his memory skills or anything like that, but it's really strange to be peeped into his mind. If someone planted breath or something else, it would be troublesome.
Ye Tian thought like this, he must find an opportunity in the future to rule out whether there is any unknown atmosphere in his mind.
The streets were noisy, pedestrians were coming and going, peddlers were holding things and selling there; the doorways of those shops were also surrounded by people, and some monks could often be seen on the road.
The city is also thriving and peaceful.
Ye Tian couldn't help thinking about his original world, after he solved the troubles, could all beings in the ten thousand worlds be like this in peacetime.
It didn't take much time on the way back to find Gu Yuan and his party. Lin Lin was familiar with the road, turned left and right in the alley, and arrived at a magnificent pier in a short while.
It is said to be a pier, but in fact it can also be said to be a platform.
Dozens of warships are lined up neatly on countless platforms, loaded with platinum cannons, very lively.
On the top of the main tower are all flags of the same color, the totem on it Ye Tian can't recognize, like asking Lin Lin beside him.
"Are these warships organized by the same organization? According to this number, it is not a problem to attack a few stars of life, right?"
Seeing that Ye Tian was very interested, Lin Lin naturally answered his questions without hesitation.
"These are the warships of Demon Slaughter City. I have introduced it to you before. Demon Slaughter City used to be a fortress against the demons. After the war was over, I was still worried whether the Demon Realm would open up this battlefield again to invade, so they all It has been preserved and occasionally military drills have been conducted."
Ye Tian looked at the warships with emotion. His original world had not developed to such a standardized system. Those people still fought with each other centered on the nation and clan.
This trip to this world has benefited a lot. Seeing the way of life of these people gave him some ideas.
In the distance, Gu Yuan and his party were waiting at the pier. Lin Lin rushed over when he saw it, leaving Ye Tian pacing slowly.
"Brother Gu, the proof has passed, then Ye Tian is not a bad person."
Hearing the news, Gu Yuan's serious face finally relaxed. In fact, even he was slightly suspicious, after all, Ye Tian's behavior was too cautious.
But now it seems that he is worrying too much.
Seeing Ye Tian approaching, Gu Yuan stretched out a hand to Ye Tian and said, "I'm sorry Brother Ye, what I said earlier was offending, please forgive me."
When Ye Tian saw this, Yexiang put on a pleasant face and held it up.
"Where is it? I don't know my identity, so you should be on guard. It's good that there is no estrangement in the end."
"Please, Brother Ye. The cabin is ready, let's board together." Gu Yuan turned around and motioned Ye Tian to go with him.
The rest of the team also followed without saying much.
Gu Yuan took Ye Tian to his cabin and left, saying that he wanted to discuss with the team members about visiting the grand event. Seeing that he was not invited, Ye Tian consciously went back to the room.
Regardless of whether the things they talk about have anything to do with him, as long as they don't covet him and want to harm him, let them do the rest.
Ye Tianpan sat in the room, trying to activate the spiritual energy again.
Not surprisingly, it still failed. The world seemed to reject Ye Tian's aura movement route, and there was a strange energy blocking him in the dark.
It seems that the immortal technique of my original world is difficult to use. Although my body is still cultivated and my body is consciously absorbing spiritual energy, even if the spiritual energy is fully absorbed, it is useless without the power of operation, and I also have no ability to fight.
I have to see the situation when the time comes, and see if there is any chance that I can bring over a kung fu for him to use temporarily.
Ye Tian figured it out like this, and went out to the deck.
At this time, the ship hadn't sailed yet, and the deck was bustling with people carrying goods, most of them were monks, and some people brought their entourage.
At this time, there was a man in the distance who looked like a young man who had to carry the luggage box after box, as if he wanted to bring his whole family up. The attendant next to him held an umbrella and carefully brought a pot of tea to the young man.
Seeing this, Ye Tian just smiled, cultivators shouldn't be served by these things, but it's just inevitable that some cultivator families have great fortunes, and they always make things like this.
Those families have pampered their direct descendants since they were young, and let their subordinates take good care of them. Even their cultivation is arranged step by step. Under such arrangements, normal cultivators will have their way forward long ago, and they can only reach a certain level in their life. You can no longer go up.
Ye Tian walked aimlessly, looking around. He walked past the cabin, wanting to go to the stern, but seeing someone at the stern, he changed to another place.
"Boss, you said that the people you have contacted will come tonight. If they don't come, wouldn't our goods be in trouble when they disembark?"
"Don't worry, although the people in the Demon Realm are cunning, they can still see things that are beneficial to them. We just need to take advantage of the chaos to move these goods off the ship at night, and we don't have to worry about the rest."
A man said to the woman, upon hearing this conversation, Ye Tian stopped in his tracks.
He has heard along the way that this world has been at war with the demon world since ancient times. After such a long battle, the hostile concept should be issued by the ruler and imprinted in people's hearts. Why would anyone want to trade with the demon world.
Ye Tian hid aside and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
"But Boss, those goods are just a few of us here, so it's not easy to move them. If they are discovered, wouldn't it be..."
"Don't think about those unlucky things. Our responsibility is to deliver the goods to the ship, and we are not responsible for moving them. We just need to count the goods and put them in the place they designated."
After speaking, the woman paused for a while.
"It's getting late, the boat is about to sail, let's go back early to rest, and recharge our batteries to prepare for the evening."
Then, Ye Tian saw a man and a woman walk in from the back cabin, heading towards the inner cabin.
Seeing them leaving, Ye Tian came out of the shadows and walked to the rear deck.
"It seems that something will happen tonight." If what these two people said is true, then there may be people from the devil world attacking the ship at night.
Seeing that the boat didn't seem to be strong enough, Ye Tian felt suspicious.
Can this ship stop the people in the Demon Realm?
Thinking of this, Ye Tian walked to the inner cabin, wanting to discuss with Gu Yuan.
"Where did this brother come from? It's really unfamiliar."
It turned out that it was the woman from the two who was standing in the passage, looking at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, the woman might have been wary, she just went back after the conversation, or was looking for someone passing by this passage.
It was probably because Ye Tian was not seen on the deck of the back cabin when we were talking just now, but now he happened to see Ye Tian coming in, and he was a little embarrassed, so he stopped him.
Ye Tian cupped his fists.
"I came down from the upper deck, just looking around."
"Really?" The woman's tone was suspicious.
"Did you see me on the deck just now?"
"Didn't see it."
"Alright then." The woman made way for Ye Tian to go with her.
When Ye Tian walked in front of him, he suddenly punched Ye Tian's abdomen with one hand.
Fortunately, Ye Tian reacted quickly, turned sideways and dodged, and left the woman's surroundings with a few light steps.
The woman didn't give up when she saw this, her hands were sealed in mudra, she wanted to cast a spell.
"Brother Ye, I've been looking for you for a long time, why did you come to the back cabin?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind Ye Tian.
