Chapter 373 Strange Ancient City, Don’t Go Out at Night (Please Subscribe)
As I approached Yintian City, I realized that the city wall was extremely towering.
On the city gate, the three characters "Yintian City" are engraved.
"Why is there no guard in this ancient city?" Yu Liang was very surprised.
When the four of them were one kilometer away from the city, they had already landed and walked over.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Perhaps they all ran away knowing that our Lan Ba Sect was coming."
Gongsun Leran also smiled and said: "Is our Lan Ba Sect so famous?"
Liu Linlin rolled her eyes at the two of them and said nothing.
The combination of these four people is very strange.
The leader, Lu Ming, is tall and sturdy, Yu Liang is calm and taciturn, Gongsun Leran is a little loli who likes to chirp, and the most eye-catching one is Liu Linlin.
Not only does she have a pretty face and curvaceous curves, but she also has an unparalleled cold and arrogant temperament. She has the absolute aloof style of a royal sister, and is at the level of a queen.
The moment she entered the city gate, Liu Linlin's footsteps suddenly stopped.
She raised her head and her eyes quickly passed over the three characters of Yintian City.
"Senior Sister Liu, what's wrong?" Yu Liang asked as his perception was also very keen.
Like Lu Ming, he now regarded Liu Linlin as his senior sister.
Liu Linlin retorted at first, but in the end, she didn't bother to correct her and simply let them shout.
At this moment, after hearing Yu Liang's question, Liu Linlin said: "It's nothing, just a little strange feeling."
The four of them walked into the city.
No one noticed that the khaki skin of the words "Yintian City" engraved on the city gate began to peel off slowly, revealing a bright red color.
The red color was extremely obvious, as if it was about to bleed, and it looked extremely strange.
At the same time, the towering city gate that was wide open suddenly closed with a rumble!
When the four of them heard the noise, they turned around quickly and were shocked.
"Why is the city gate closed?" Lu Ming asked.
"Is this going to trap us?" Gongsun Leran was also frightened.
It was her first time traveling far away, and she had never seen such a weird thing.
Only Liu Linlin snorted coldly: "A mere city wants to trap me?"
With a tap of the pink boots under her feet, her whole body rose into the air, like Chang'e flying to the moon, with a nimble posture.
But when he jumped to a height of three or four meters, he was pulled back to the ground by an inexplicable suction force from his feet.
Liu Linlin was shocked.
"Forbidden air barrier!" Gongsun Leran blurted out instantly.
As a genius of the formation, she could immediately discern the subtle changes in her surroundings.
"You are new here, so you may not understand the rules of this city."
At this time, a voice came.
I saw a warrior wearing armor walking slowly.
It turned out that he was the city gate guard. He was not here just now, so he must have closed the city gate.
"What? We're just entering a city, do we need any more rules?" Liu Linlin held the scabbard in her hand, the sword buzzing in it and about to fly out at any moment.
Seeing Liu Linlin's strength, the guard suddenly became frightened. He smiled bitterly and said: "This lady may have misunderstood. What I mean is that the city closes its gates at this time every day to prevent outsiders from invading at night."
The long sword that Liu Linlin was about to pull out suddenly drew back with a swish.
At this moment, the sun is indeed setting in the west, and the afterglow is reflected in the city.
Lu Ming said: "It seems we came just in time, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get in."
Yu Liang said: "Is it unsafe at night here? Are there any intruders?"
The guard hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no. This is the rule of this city for thousands of years. The safety of the people is the first priority. By the way, may I ask the reason why the four of you entered the city?"
Yu Liang said: "We are disciples of the Dunjia Sect. We have important things to do. We are passing through this city and will leave tomorrow."
The guard cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that you are masters of Dunjia Gate, no wonder you have such extraordinary temperament. If you want to go out of town, just go to the North City Gate tomorrow morning."
Yu Guangming nodded, his answer was impeccable and no one would be suspicious.
Moreover, the Dunjia Sect is independent of the world and has an excellent reputation. If Yu Liang brings it out, it will not be misunderstood as evil.
The four of them said goodbye to the guards and walked towards the city.
The streets here are very spacious and can accommodate five or six carriages.
Moreover, there were many people coming and going, all of them were ordinary people, and there was nothing unusual about them.
"I think it's quite normal here, Junior Sister Gongsun, your grandfather is really scaring you." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Gongsun Leran also snorted heavily: "I can see through it. He is just lying to me and saying that everyone in the world is a bad person. If I don't have fun this time, I will never go back."
The other three were speechless, this little girl was so playful.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and they came to a restaurant. Unexpectedly, the place was very lively and there were many people dining.
It's just the fragrance that hits your nose.
Lu Ming was instantly aroused and said, "I must eat all I can today!"
Liu Linlin said: "You're not usually hungry, right?"
Lu Ming said with some embarrassment: "I have been flying in the sky for a long time, but now I have to improve my food."
The four of them ordered a few dishes and started eating.
At this time, an old beggar walked into the restaurant, wearing rags and rags.
He looked around, squinting his small eyes, and released a greedy light when he saw the wine on the table.
"My lord, if you are kind enough to do me a favor, can you give me a sip of wine?" the old beggar walked to a table and said to the diners.
When the man heard this, he said angrily: "Gungun, you old beggar, you are a famous beggar in the whole city. If you beg for food, go to other places to ask for it. Don't affect my eating!"
When the old beggar heard this, he left in a dignified manner and went to other tables to beg for wine.
This was the first time for Yu Liang and others to see such a thing, and they couldn't help but watch.
But the old beggar was very unlucky. After asking for it for a long time, no one at the table was willing to give him a drink.
At this time, the waiter came over angrily.
"The old beggar comes here every day to beg for drinks, which affects the dining experience of our customers!"
He grabbed the old beggar by the collar and dragged him out of the door.
The old beggar said with a sad face, "I just want to drink some wine. I'll leave as soon as I finish."
"There may be some water in the dog's bowl at the door. Go and fight with it for food." The waiter threw him out of the door.
"Hahaha!"
It made the guests burst into laughter.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Lu Ming stood up directly.
The waiter asked strangely: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"You invite him in, and I'll treat him to a drink." Lu Ming said in a blockbuster voice.
What?
The waiter seemed not to hear clearly.
"Sir, it's my first time to see you, but don't invite him to drink."
"This old beggar is thick-skinned. He will not leave because of you."
"In the past, there were guest officials who showed sympathy, but ended up being drunk by the old beggar until they couldn't pay their bills."
These words were very scary. When Yu Liang and others heard this, they couldn't help but wink at Lu Ming.
Gongsun Leran even whispered: "Brother Lu, are you out of your mind? Why did you invite that old beggar to drink for no reason?"
Lu Ming, however, seemed not to notice at all. He said very firmly: "Don't worry, I have plenty of money, and I won't pay on credit."
Seeing his stubbornness, the waiter nodded helplessly.
He walked out of the door, only to see the old beggar paralyzed at the door in despair, as if he had collapsed from not drinking.
"Hey, old beggar, you're in luck." The waiter said angrily.
The old beggar raised his head, his eyes confused: "What's wrong?"
"A guest invites you to drink." The waiter pointed at Lu Ming in the room.
When the old beggar heard this, he immediately became energetic and radiant.
He stood up, patted the dust on his body, and strode over, not looking as sluggish as before.
The waiter looked at it and scoffed.
This old beggar gets energetic whenever he mentions drinking.
The old beggar walked up to Lu Ming and said gratefully, "Thank you very much for this young man's willingness to give me a drink."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Old sir, sit down quickly."
The old beggar looked slovenly and smelled bad.
Liu Linlin and Gongsun Leran were both girls, and they were relatively clean. They immediately stepped away and sat next to Yu Liang across from them.
Yu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Now their table is sitting very strangely.
Yu Liang sat on one side with the two girls, and Lu Ming and the old beggar sat on the other side, looking very disharmonious.
The four of us did not drink alcohol.
But now, Lu Ming directly asked the waiter to serve two jugs of good wine.
When he saw the wine, the old beggar's eyes lit up.
Lu Ming prepared a wine cup for him.
Unexpectedly, the old beggar shook his head: "Young man, I don't need this when I drink."
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, the old beggar directly raised the wine pot and drank heavily towards the spout.
In no time, two bottles of wine were in his stomach.
The old beggar wiped his mouth and felt refreshed.
Everyone was stunned, why did the old beggar drink like water?
Is the alcohol content of this wine fake?
Lu Ming said: "Old sir, don't drink too fast and eat some food."
The old beggar looked across and hesitated.
He drank from the jug himself, so he didn't have any scruples.
But he eats from the same plate as everyone else because he is afraid of being disliked.
At this time, Yu Liang said: "Old man, the four of us are full, and there is only one table left. If you don't mind it, just make do with it."
"Okay, okay! You are all kind-hearted young people." The old beggar sighed, and at the same time, his chopsticks were thrust out like lightning.
It was obvious that this old beggar hadn’t had such good food in an unknown amount of time.
A flurry of devouring.
Halfway through the meal, the old beggar said hesitantly: "Young man, can you order me some more wine?"
At this time, the guests watching the excitement all laughed.
"Young man, you see, this old beggar is greedy."
"You give him a bite to eat, and he can ask you for a plate."
"I advise you to accept it as soon as it suits you, otherwise he will have to make you poor."
…
Lu Ming ignored those people and directly called the waiter: "Waiter, serve wine again, this time two jars!"
The wine was directly changed from the pot to the jar.
The old beggar's cloudy eyes shone brighter and brighter.
Two jars of wine were delivered directly.
The old beggar skillfully opened the mud seal, raised the altar with both hands, and poured the water into his mouth.
The gurgling wine fell down and poured into his mouth.
Just seeing this scene, everyone felt extremely spicy.
I didn’t expect this old beggar to have such a good drinking capacity.
Gongsun Leran said in confusion: "Senior Brother Lu, you are not related to this old man, why are you so nice to him?"
Lu Ming took a deep look at the old beggar and said quietly: "I don't know why, but when I saw this old gentleman, I thought of my dead master."
What?
The eyes of the three people opposite them widened.
Yu Liang said: "Our master is not dead yet, and how does he look like this old man?"
"Yes, the master is so handsome, why do you want to curse him, Senior Brother Lu?" Gongsun Leran began to complain about Mu Yan.
Lu Ming was speechless: "I mean my last master, I was raised by him since I was a child."
The three of them exclaimed, they had never heard of Lu Ming's history.
The old beggar drank two jars of wine quickly, but he was obviously still unsatisfied.
Lu Ming ordered five more jars of wine.
This time the old beggar was satisfied and drank it all in one breath.
With drunkenness in his eyes, he said: "Young man, this is the first time I have met such a good person like you, and I want to repay you."
Lu Ming shook his head: "No need, old gentleman, we are quite compatible, and I won't stay here long."
Unexpectedly, the old beggar took out a blackened booklet from his arms and said drunkenly: "Young man, I see that your bones are amazing. You are a martial arts genius. Today I will give you a peerless secret book!"
He handed the secret book to Lu Ming very solemnly.
Unexpectedly, there was a burst of laughter all around, and Lu Ming was so frightened that he almost let go.
"Ahaha, young man, the person who invited him to drink last time also wanted to give him secrets."
"But the other party thought the secret book was too dirty, so he threw it away. Unexpectedly, the old beggar picked it up again."
"I don't know how many times he has sent this secret book out. It has been thrown away every time. I advise you to throw it away as soon as possible."
Lu Ming just glanced at the name of the secret book.
I don’t know whether it was stained by oil or soil, but the words Demon Slaughter Sutra were clearly written on the cover.
"Old sir, I accepted the secret book you gave me." Lu Ming regarded it as a treasure and put it into the storage ring.
The old beggar was very satisfied, and then whispered: "You four children are very kind-hearted, so in order to repay you, I will tell you another secret."
"What secret?" Lu Ming became interested.
Yu Liang and the other two slowly came over.
"After you leave the restaurant later, don't wander around on the streets and find an inn to stay immediately."
"Close the doors and windows tightly, and don't come out no matter what noise you hear outside in the middle of the night."
"Remember, remember, I'm not kidding."
After saying these words, the old beggar was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." Yu Liang heard that it seemed to contain many intriguing secrets.
He couldn't help but stop the old beggar and asked in a low voice: "Old man, can you explain the matter more clearly? Why can't you go out in the middle of the night?"
The old beggar turned around, and his dim eyes suddenly shot out a bright light.
He swept across the hall, suppressed his voice, and whispered: "Because in this cloudy city, no one is human except for me."
What?
Not human?
The four young people felt a chill on their backs, and the atmosphere seemed to have become tense.
