Chapter 287 Entering the City, Xuan Gong Locked
Everyone passed through a mountain road that was difficult to navigate and even extremely dangerous for ordinary people.
But for these warriors, it was like walking on plain ground.
When the sun rises three poles high.
Everyone walked out of the narrow mountain crevice and suddenly became enlightened.
In front of him was a huge basin with a terrain similar to the crater that Gu Xia once saw in Yu Liyan's Fox Demon Cave.
However, the basin in front of me is obviously larger, with a diameter estimated to be tens of thousands of feet, so large that a prosperous city can be accommodated in it.
I saw a majestic city standing on the ground in the distance.
The outer city walls are tens of feet high, and there are many tall buildings and huge buildings in the city, the highest being a hundred feet tall. The spectacular cornices and brackets can be seen here.
There are patrolling flying boats in the sky from time to time. Those things are activated by burning Xuan Crystal. The strength of Taoxian Mansion is unknown, but it is certain that it has sufficient financial resources.
Li Lingyan said: "This is Taoyuan City! Isn't it spectacular from this perspective?
Gu Xia nodded: "Such a magnificent city is actually hidden in the mountains. It takes nearly a hundred miles of winding and rugged mountain roads to reach it. It is indeed a paradise!"
After about a stick of incense, the group arrived at the gate of Taoyuan City.
When the guard saw the middle-aged man and woman in front of him, he immediately said respectfully: "Commander Wang, Commander Li, and fellow Wuling Guards, please come in!"
Li Lingyan: "Captain, please help my new friend register."
She pointed at Gu Xia.
"As you command!"
The guard took out a jade plaque and came to Gu Xia: "This young knight, please tell me your name and sect."
Gu Xia: "I don't have a name. My surname is Ye and my first name is Wenchen. I am a casual cultivator."
The guard took out a jade pen and wrote a few strokes on the jade sign, and then handed the jade sign over.
"Please young hero input your own profound energy or soul power into it, so that the jade tablet can remember your characteristics.
Otherwise, if the young hero uses his power in the city and the registered characteristics are not recognized by the guardian of Taoyuan, he will be bombarded by lightning.
This jade token is your temporary certificate during the celebration. "
Gu Xia took the jade tablet and recorded the Taibai profound power and soul power in his body at the same time.
Instantly, two numbers three, one blue and one red, appeared on the jade card, which meant that the input was successful.
"What!" The guard was shocked.
Commander Wang: "Double cultivation of martial arts!"
Everyone around looked at him in surprise.
"Young Master Ye! You are still a Night Travel Realm Soul Cultivator!" Li Lingyan couldn't help but cast an admiring look.
Gu Xia: "That's right."
Li Lingyan: "Young Master Ye is still a casual cultivator, it's incredible! I've never seen a martial soul dual cultivator who can achieve such a high level in both realms!"
"Oh, the dual cultivation of martial arts just looks bluffing. The actual battle is not very good, and it also delayed my time for several years." Gu Xia sighed slightly, seeming to regret it.
Indeed, everyone knows the proverb that you can’t get the best of two rabbits, and people around you won’t be so envious after hearing this.
The guard also brought a sculpture of a mythical beast. The whole body was like jade, with a horn on the head, which was the statue of a Xie Zhi.
This is Taoxian Mansion's exclusive magic weapon, which can distinguish true from falsehoods. It is also a lie detector.
Guard: "Young hero, you need to answer two questions."
"Then ask."
"Are you trying to harm Taoyuan City?"
"no."
"What is your purpose in coming to Taoyuan City?"
"Increase your cultivation."
After asking the two questions, the mythical beast sculpture showed no response.
The guard smiled and said: "Young hero, you can enter the city."
"Fortunately, I didn't ask for my name or identity, otherwise my secret would have been exposed." Gu Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't know that there was originally a third question about entering the city, which was asking for names.
But many monks don't like to reveal their identities and use pseudonyms everywhere they go, so every time they can find some who use pseudonyms, but they really don't have any malicious intentions.
So over time, the third question was cancelled, leaving only two questions.
The guard gave way.
A group of people rode into the city gate.
The moment he stepped into the city.
"Buzz!"
Gu Xia seemed to hear a strange noise, and felt a little dizzy, and then he seemed to be wrapped in an airtight invisible film.
Immediately, all the profound energy in his Dantian, meridians, and acupuncture points were restrained, and neither the Taibai profound energy nor the Blood Demon profound energy could be released.
Once he entered the Zang state, his cultivation was completely locked.
Li Lingyan saw that he was different and quickly said: "Ye Shaoxia, relax, it's the same for all warriors who enter Taoyuan City for the first time. Don't resist the power of Taoyuan's guardian!"
After a while, the dizziness disappeared.
Gu Xia said: "I heard before that the use of Xuanwu was prohibited in Taoyuan City. I was still thinking about how to manage those unruly warriors. It turns out that martial arts is banned from the root."
Li Lingyan: "Except for Wu Lingwei, other warriors can only use Xuanwu in specific areas.
Don't blame Ye Shaoxia, we are just for the stability of the city. "
"I can understand, after all, low-level soul cultivators cannot manage low-level warriors." Gu Xia nodded.
He tried again, and the soul power was still functioning freely. It seemed that the forbidden martial arts in the city could not suppress the soul.
No wonder warriors don't like to participate in the Peach Fairy Festival. They become ordinary people as soon as they come in. Not many people can endure this feeling of power disappearing.
Li Lingyan smiled and said: "Ye Shaoxia just said that there are no benefits to dual cultivation of martial arts. Now there are no benefits, there is an extra guarantee."
Gu Xia nodded and smiled: "Miss Li is right."
Commander Wang, who was next to the woman, had a dark face and thought, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Is it dangerous in Taoyuan City? Only by relying on your own strength can you protect yourself?"
However, Commander Wang couldn't say it, so he could only teach her when there was no one around.
...
Gu Xia followed the Wulingwei and his group to collect the reward of five black crystals, and then separated from them.
He found another inn to stay in.
It was night time.
Gu Xia opened the window to admire the moon and thought.
"This is a really good place, with soul cultivators everywhere. It just so happens that the brocade bag that the demon woman gave me cannot be opened yet, so I will stay here for a while."
He couldn't help but smile.
Since he knew there was such a soul cultivator event, delivering goods to Yin Qie was not his only purpose.
So during the day, when he said that his purpose was to improve his cultivation, the lie-detecting beast statue did not respond.
Who said there can only be one purpose?
Gu Xia would not harm Taoyuan City. He just wanted to find a few suitable prey here. As for whether the prey came from Taoxian Mansion, it all depended on luck.
"However, I have to learn about this city before the hunt begins."
His consciousness sank into his body, and Xingchen unfolded the soul force field to scan the surroundings repeatedly.
"No abnormal mystical energy reaction was detected..."
After a while, Xingchen gave a normal result.
"It is impossible that there is no abnormality. My mystical skill is obviously blocked.
Taoxian Mansion is a soul cultivation sect that is good at soul power. It is normal for me to be blocked by soul power detection.
Xingchen, connect to the eye of the heart and continue scanning."
Although Taoyuan City locked his mystical skill, the eye of the heart is an instinctive ability. It is as simple to use as opening your eyes, and there are few mystical methods that can cover the eye of the heart.
Gu Xia himself can only roughly feel that something is wrong with the surroundings with the eye of the heart, so he asked Xingchen, who is more sensitive, to see.
However, Xingchen couldn't see clearly, but it could rely on data processing to "clarify" and "restore details" of the image. (You have all seen some photos "restored" by AI.) The more data, the more realistic the restoration.
Then, Xingchen took tens of thousands of photos from the perspective of the eye of the heart from all angles in an instant.
Then, through superposition, data processing, and AI to reasonably increase details, it finally returned a three-dimensional photo scanned by the eye of the heart.
Gu Xia took another look.
I saw that the entire inn in the photo, no, the entire city, was covered by a huge mysterious energy field.
