Chapter 2211 the Lost City and People
Danhua City.
This is the name of this city.
"I haven't heard the name of this city, this city is too small, even if I used to be, I wouldn't notice it," Qin Zhen's voice sounded in Ye Tian's mind.
"Although the human race is powerful now, the intrusion of spirit beasts has never stopped. From the time when the Qin Dynasty had not yet reached its peak, I ordered to set up a guardrail at the junction of the human race and the beast race. Countless cities are connected in a line to resist the attack of spirit beasts."
"And after the Xianqin Dynasty reached its peak and unified the entire border of all beasts, I spread this order to the whole world. Therefore, there are almost thousands of such cities in the territory of human monks, and there are countless ones." Qin really said.
"If I go in and inquire about it, I will naturally know where the city is located," Ye Tian said.
While speaking, Ye Tian came to the gate of the city.
"Stop whoever comes!" A soldier directly above the city wall lowered his head coldly and said to Ye Tian.
"Isn't this city allowed to enter?" Ye Tian asked a little puzzled.
"If it is an ordinary time, it is naturally allowed, but these days, the spirit beasts in the mountains have been in turmoil, rushing out to harass them from time to time, so now the city has been closed and no entry or exit is allowed. You should go to other places." The soldier said.
"It doesn't matter if you really have to, but can I ask you something?" Ye Tian asked.
"We don't have time to talk to you, leave quickly, if the spirit beast appears to attack at this time, don't blame the attack without eyes!" The soldier said in a deep voice.
Ye Tian frowned slightly.
But at this moment, a middle-aged monk whose strength had reached the late stage of the True Immortal came forward with the highest cultivation level on the city wall.
In fact, he didn't want to talk to him at first, but he found that he couldn't see through Ye Tian's cultivation.
The fact that Ye Tian can come out of the mountains in front alone means that Ye Tian must have some strength, so the only possibility is that Ye Tian's cultivation base is higher than his, so he can't see through Ye Tian.
So after Sun Wendong thought about it, he took the initiative to come forward.
"This fellow Taoist, Sun Wendong in Xiadanhua City, can you ask me your name?" Sun Wendong clasped his fists at Ye Tian and asked.
"Ye Tian."
"Fellow Daoist Ye Tian, I'm really sorry for the special period. If you don't dislike it, I will let go of the restriction. Please come to the city wall to explain." Sun Wendong said loudly.
As he said that, Sun Wendong waved his hand lightly, and Ye Tian suddenly felt clearly that a passage was opened in the restriction in the air.
Ye Tian didn't bother to argue with the soldier just now, he came to the city wall in a blink of an eye.
Sun Wendong looked at Ye Tian who suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was a trace of strong fear in his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, no matter whether it is because of the use of a magic weapon with hidden cultivation or because of the difference in strength, as long as one makes a move, it will be exposed.
Unless the gap in strength has reached a whole level and is deliberately hidden, there will be such a situation that even if you make a move, you still can't see through your cultivation.
So Sun Wendong also immediately understood that this young man in white who walked out of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range with an unfamiliar face was at least as strong as the late Celestial Immortal, or even stronger!
And this kind of existence is something their entire Danhua City can't afford.
At this time, Sun Wendong was very grateful that he had changed his tone and attitude just now. If he angered this strange and strong man, the consequences would be disastrous.
All the rules themselves are only made by the strong for the weak. As long as they are strong enough, the rules will be like nonsense. Sun Wendong knows this truth very well in his heart.
These thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, Sun Wendong's expression changed quickly, he squeezed out a smile, and took the initiative to salute Ye Tian.
"The people below are ignorant of Taishan just now. They are so negligent and rude. It's my fault. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Ye Tian." fierce.
The soldier immediately understood what Sun Wendong meant, and even by looking at Sun Wendong's performance, he knew that Ye Tian must be something he couldn't afford to provoke, so seeing the wink, he hurried forward to salute and apologize to Ye Tian.
"It's okay, since the rules have been established for a long time, you are the executors, there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, I disturbed you." Originally, Ye Tian didn't care much, and the other party had already done enough, so Ye Tian nodded. head, smiling.
"Actually, there is nothing we can do. This order was issued by the city lord Zheng Qipeng, and he is not here now, and has been recalled to the East Gate Mansion. Now the dragons in Danhua City have no leader, and spirit beasts come to attack. We people only dare to hide in the city. I dare not let anyone in, nor let anyone leave." Sun Wendong said with a sigh.
"I have an impression of Dongmen Mansion." At this time, Qin Zhen's voice came from the top-grade spirit stone and rang in Ye Tian's mind: "If I remember correctly, this Dongmen Mansion should be located in Taiping Prefecture. , while Taiping Prefecture belongs to the geographical range of the Xianqi Dynasty. The Xianqi Dynasty is located in the east and slightly north of the border of the beasts. Of course, Xianqi has long been a history, and now it is universal , the window sills of thousands of households are all illuminated by the bright moon of my immortal Qin Dynasty!"
Ye Tian answered Qin Zhen's words in his heart, expressing his understanding.
"It stands to reason that this Danhua City should be set up to resist the attack of spirit beasts. It's okay if nothing happens at ordinary times. Since the spirit beasts attack frequently now, why is this city lord Zheng not here at this critical time? What's more important in the mansion?" Ye Tian asked Sun Wendong.
"The Xianqin decree, the Lord of Jiecheng, no matter what, must not leave his post without permission. We don't know what happened in the East Gate Mansion, so we will call Lord Zheng back at this time." Sun Wendong said.
"But we know that City Lord Zheng is the nephew of Zheng Yuanjiu, the owner of Dongmen Mansion." After a pause, Sun Wendong added.
Ye Tian frowned slightly, he seemed to have vaguely understood the meaning of Sun Wendong on the second floor.
"Three years ago, according to this, Shanli City, thousands of miles away, was attacked by spirit beasts. Everyone in the city fought with all their strength. In the end, from top to bottom, all the human monks who participated in the battle were killed."
"Five years ago, Weishan City in Shuibai Mansion was attacked by spirit beasts. All soldiers including the city owner died in battle."
"Ten years ago..."
Sun Wendong was eloquent, and in a blink of an eye, he listed several incidents in which humans fought with spirit beasts, but ended tragically.
"In the past hundred years, under the continuous attack of spirit beasts, human monks have suffered heavy losses. At least 20 boundary cities have been destroyed. The range of human existence is almost tens of thousands of miles away from the invasion of spirit beasts. After the massacre and torture , and walk away." Sun Wendong said.
As the tragic incidents were told, the expressions of the other soldiers around them became serious and angry.
"Since Jiecheng can't resist, there should be more powerful cities. Why don't places like Dongmen Mansion and Shuimen Mansion send strong people to support them, instead of watching the tragedy happen?" Ye Tian asked.
"Fellow Daoist should have been cultivating alone before, and the territory of Ten Thousand Beasts is vast, so I don't know these things," Sun Wendong asked.
"Yes," Ye Tian nodded.
"First of all, these spirit beasts are extremely cunning. They are extremely clear about the situation in the Jiecheng. The Jiecheng is in the light, and the spirit beasts are in the dark. Knowing yourself and the enemy, you will win every battle, and the spirit beasts have already won first."
"Actually, this is only a secondary reason. The main reason is that Fucheng simply ignored these things. All the alarms for help seemed to disappear without any response at all." Having said this, Sun Wendong's tone has changed. Incomparably angry.
"Why?" Ye Tian asked.
Up to now, Ye Tian has already understood that the boundary city is the boundary line of the area where the human race is located, and the boundary cities are connected together, like forming a Great Wall to prevent the attack of spirit beasts, protecting the human race area inside.
But once the boundary city is breached, this line is broken, and a gap will appear, and spirit beasts will drive straight into it, as if entering a no-man's land, and it will be countless low-level monks and even ordinary people who will suffer disaster.
As a city that controls everything, how could it be possible to tolerate such a thing, isn't this digging its own grave?
So Ye Tian didn't understand at all at this time.
"Why? We people also want to know why, and those who died also want to know why?!" Sun Wendong gritted his teeth and said.
"No matter what, Jiecheng is a subordinate of Fucheng. For us, we are a member of the human monks and a member of the Xianqin Dynasty, and Fucheng represents the Xianqin Dynasty. The state city behind Fucheng, the state The imperial city behind the city represents the Xianqin Dynasty. We can only obey its orders. No matter what kind of problems arise, what else can we do? beast to kill."
"So City Lord Zheng was recalled by the East Gate Mansion, and we are not surprised to leave Danhua City at this time. The previous blood has proved everything. It is the Xianqin Dynasty and will not pay attention to us."
"Actually, what chills us the most is that four years ago, Linjia City, which is also under the East Gate Mansion, was besieged by spirit beasts and suffered huge losses. However, they successfully repelled the spirit beasts. As a result, the East Gate Mansion not only did not receive rewards, Instead, they held Lin Laocheng accountable on the grounds that the loss was too great."
"After being recalled to Dongmen Mansion for trial, Old City Lord Lin got a decisive end and was directly killed in Dongmen Mansion."
"And at this time, the spirit beasts that had retreated once again made a comeback. The dragons in Linjia City had no leader. They had consumed a lot of energy before and were isolated and helpless. In the end, the entire city was trampled down by spirit beasts. After the torture and killing, he returned with satisfaction."
"As for such a situation, the Dongmen Mansion has no opinion and completely ignores it."
"Actually, when other boundary cities were besieged, we all wanted to support them very much, but we didn't dare."
"We don't know how many spirit beasts there are, when they will appear, and whether they will also attack us, so we can only watch helplessly, watching them being killed one by one under the siege of spirit beasts."
"In the past hundred years, we have witnessed the killing of familiar human monks one by one, witnessed the leveling of world cities by spirit beasts, and witnessed the rampant killing of vast human territories by spirit beasts."
"But we have no choice, we can only continue to guard here, because no matter what, as long as we guys guard here for one more day, the human race area behind us will be peaceful for one more day."
"Recently, we have encountered more attacks from spirit beasts. Presumably in the near future, all of us will die under the attacks of spirit beasts, and Danhua City will also become ruins."
"But we can't help it, we've done everything we can and we've given everything for it."
Sun Wendong spoke slowly with a heavy and trembling tone, the city wall was completely silent, and the surrounding soldiers also had expressions of resolute grief and indignation.
"Senior, do you know why this happened?" Ye Tian was silent on the surface, but he asked Qin Zhen a question in his sea of consciousness.
"I don't know..." Qin Zhen's tone was quite serious.
He is the former immortal emperor of the Xianqin Dynasty, who completely unified all the monks of all races in the border of ten thousand beasts, and created an unprecedented glorious dynasty. It can be said that all the monks of all races in the border of ten thousand beasts were once his. Minmin, when he heard such a situation, he naturally couldn't calm down in his heart.
"But look at the specific situation in detail. I won't talk about Jiecheng. I don't know how many other prefectures have such problems. But at present, at least more than one prefecture has such problems. Then the root cause , it must be in the state city, if there is more than one state, then the problem lies in today's Qidi, the former Xianqi Dynasty." Qin Zhen said in a deep voice.
"If such a situation happened in more than one region of the previous dynasty, could it be that Xianqin Dynasty, Mu Shu had a problem?" Ye Tian asked with a frown.
"That's not going to happen. For her, this move is digging her own grave. Mu Shu has sacrificed everything in order to get everything she has today. It is impossible for her to do such a thing," Qin Zhen said: "All kinds of real things The reason is too far away from you now, and you will know later."
"So, the key to the problem is the scope of this kind of problem and how big it is," Ye Tian said to himself in the sea of knowledge, then raised his head to look at Sun Wendong and asked, "Do you know that the problem caused by the How many world cities are there that are besieged by spirit beasts without the support of Fucheng, and how big is the scope of the impact?"
"I don't know, the border of Ten Thousand Beasts is too big," Sun Wendong said with a wry smile, "The limit of what we can know is only a few nearby prefectures. If it is farther away, we will not be able to reach it at all."
"So from the current point of view, it can only be considered that there is a problem in Taiping Prefecture," Ye Tian said to Qin Zhen in the sea of knowledge.
"Yes, but in my Immortal Qin Dynasty, the monks who can control a state are basically at the level of Jinxian. We are not opponents now," Qin Zhen said: "I also want to solve the problem. The problem here, but we don't have that capability right now."
"But it's impossible to just watch such a thing happen, even if it can't be solved, then you have to know what the problem is, and then wait until you have enough strength to solve it!" Ye Tian said in a deep voice.
"You came from the outside world, and you don't exist in the realm of myriad beasts, let alone belong to the Xianqin Dynasty. Why did you do this?" Qin Zhen asked after a moment of silence.
"Does this need a reason?" Ye Tian asked back: "Anyway, I'm human, and I can't tolerate human beings being slaughtered by spirit beasts, and just watch them unmoved."
"Okay, even though you said so, I will still regard this matter as a favor that I, Qin Zhen, owe you, because I don't have any ability to participate in this matter now." Qin Zhen said seriously.
"There is no need to be so polite between us," Ye Tian said.
"No, one yard is equal to one yard. I helped you before because you can help me avenge, and you can help me avenge because I can help you improve. This is the agreement between us, and the people who met today The matter is regarded as a matter in my Xianqin Dynasty, and it is outside the agreement."
"Although I am not in charge of the Immortal Qin Dynasty now, all of this was created by me after all, and it is all my painstaking effort. This is my private matter, so if you help me, I must remember your favor." Qin really said.
Ye Tian showed a wry smile, he really didn't know how to refute, so he didn't say anything more.
Although it seems that the problem may be in Taiping Prefecture, Ye Tian feels that he should go to Dongmen Mansion first to test the situation.
After all, the current Taiping Prefecture is an unrivaled existence for Ye Tian. It is better to go to Dongmen Mansion first to see if you can learn enough about the situation, and then think about how to deal with it.
But Ye Tian is not planning to leave Danhua City to go to Dongmen Mansion in a hurry.
Now that Danhua City is still under the threat of spirit beasts, at the very least, Ye Tian can leave with peace of mind until the crisis in Danhua City is resolved.
Ye Tian is not a saintly heart, nor does he have a grand ambition to save the world. Although Ye Tian has just refined the beast spirit and his strength has been greatly improved, Ye Tian also knows that he is far from having the ability to The ability to completely relieve these crises faced by all boundary cities,
But one is what Ye Tian said to Qin Zhen just now, he is a monk of the human race. The second is, as Sun Wendong said just now, try your best and have a clear conscience.
"I'll stay," Ye Tian said to Sun Wendong.
"Fellow Daoist Ye Tian, you..." Sun Wendong froze for a moment: "Fellow Daoist Ye Tian should be a casual cultivator, since you are not a monk of the Xianqin Dynasty, then you don't need to obey the orders of the Xianqin Dynasty, and you don't have to risk staying here. There is no end to killing spirit beasts."
"If you're not a monk from the Xianqin Dynasty, don't you have to fight against spirit beasts?" Ye Tian asked calmly.
"It makes sense, and even the monks of the Xianqin Dynasty, such as the monks in Dongmen Mansion and other nearby mansions, are obviously members of the Xianqin Dynasty and have received countless benefits from the Xianqin Dynasty, but they have already I completely forgot the mission of fighting spirit beasts." Sun Wendong said with a wry smile.
Then, Sun Wendong put away his wry smile, and bowed to Ye Tian with his hands clasped together.
"Then since Fellow Daoist Ye Tian is willing, Mr. Sun will naturally welcome it. Now that City Lord Zheng is not here, I will be responsible for everything. From today onwards, Fellow Daoist Ye Tian will be the most honored guest of Danhua City," while saluting. , Sun Wendong said to Ye Tian seriously.
