Chapter 259: Festive Hidden Spirit City
The setting sun is like blood, shining on the towering walls of Yinling City, covering this big city with a layer of golden and red gauze.
At the gate of the city, there is a constant flow of people coming and going.
Although it is not a festival, everyone's face is full of joy, and it seems that something great and happy is about to happen.
A group of pedestrians walked in a hurry but could not conceal their extraordinary demeanor.
The man in the lead is named Li Zexin. He has a tall and straight figure, his green shirt is flowing in the wind, and his face is somewhat elegant.
The Lingzhu girl next to her has eyebrows like distant daisies and eyes like stars. She is wearing a pink skirt and is smart and playful.
The rest of the people also have extraordinary bearings, and they are either rich or noble based on their appearance and attire.
After everyone disguised themselves, they passed by the guards and entered the gate of Hidden Spirit City.
Entering the city, everyone saw shops lined on both sides of the streets and wine flags flying.
Red silk ribbons were hung all over the eaves and branches, dancing in the wind.
Although it is not yet the New Year's Day, it is already full of joy.
In the streets and alleys, people are coming and going, and laughter and laughter are endless.
The children were holding candy figures, laughing and chasing each other, shouting auspicious words to wish the island owner a happy wedding.
When we arrived at an inn, the waiter had already spotted this unique group of guests.
Seeing that this pedestrian was well-dressed, he hurriedly adjusted his clothes and greeted him with a smile on his face:
"Dear guests, is it better to stay in a hotel? The store is clean and tidy, and the prices are fair!"
The group of people followed the waiter into the store. Li Zexin nodded slightly and asked in a harmonious voice: "Second Brother, why is this city so festive?"
When the waiter heard this, his eyebrows suddenly danced: "My guest doesn't know, but this is a great event for our Yinling Island! The owner of the island, Master Yinling, is about to get married. This is a grand event celebrated by the whole world!"
Li Zexin was slightly startled, then continued: "What does the island owner's marriage have to do with you mortals? Why are you so happy about this feast of immortal cultivators?"
When the waiter heard this, his expression became solemn and his waist straightened a bit:
"What you said is wrong! If it weren't for the city lord, how could our Yinling City have the peaceful life it has today? How could we live and work here in peace and contentment?
In our Yinling City, as long as we, the people, work hard and are willing to work, we will get a lot of wages, and there will never be any deductions from wages.
Even forty-year-old men and fifty-year-old old men still have ways to make a living. Because Master Yinling had already made regulations, he also arranged work to be self-sufficient.
In addition, there is the rule of taking a bath every five days. Ask around the world, how can there be such a good thing? It’s hard to find in the world! The Lord of the City is our living Bodhisattva. We have set up longevity tablets in every household. We hope that the Lord of the City will succeed in his cultivation and live forever! "
At this time, the Lingzhu girl beside the man couldn't help but sneered and interjected:
"Master Yinling, in the outside world, I heard that they call him Master Blood River, Old Demon of Blood River and so on."
The waiter's expression suddenly changed, like dark clouds covering the sun, and his voice became cold and stern:
"You foreigners are so rude and ignorant! I don't care who you are, please leave quickly, we won't entertain you!"
After saying this, the waiter hurried towards the shopkeeper and whispered a few words.
The shopkeeper's face also darkened, and he stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation: "Dear guests, this small shop and temple cannot accommodate the big Buddha, so please find another place."
When the woman saw this, her face turned red with anger.
Her eyebrows stood up, her chest rose and fell violently, and she was about to have an attack, but was stopped by the man.
Li Zexin patted the woman's shoulder gently and said warmly: "Lingzhu, don't make trouble. This is Yinling City, the territory of the old demon of Blood River. It's better not to provoke her easily."
The woman stamped her feet angrily: "Uncle Xin, he is just a mortal, how dare you be so arrogant and rude! If he is on our dry island, he must be thrown out of the island and fed to the monsters in the sea!"
Li Zexin smiled slightly, shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to argue with them. However, this old demon of Blood River treats the people on his island really differently from others.
This is the Hidden Spirit City, the territory of the Old Demon of Blood River. We should not cause trouble easily. If he really got started, even the two of me couldn't beat him.
Although this old demon from Blood River has a bad reputation, he behaves like a righteous monk in his own territory. Forget it, let's go to the inner city and have a look. That's where the immortal cultivators gather.
This Hidden Spirit Island has been really well constructed in recent years. I heard that the old devil spent a lot of effort over the years, invited many pulse seekers, incorporated many small islands and spiritual veins into Hidden Spirit Island, and also migrated a large number of people.
Now, this island has a radius of two hundred miles, and the number of mortals exceeds one million, and there are hundreds of monks. It is already the leader among the second-tier low-grade islands."
After that, Li Zexin led everyone towards the inner city.
Behind him, the hustle and bustle of Yinling City is still there, and the festive atmosphere permeates every corner.
...
"See Hall Master Xu, see Master Uncle Gu!"
In the Yinling Inner City, in the main hall of the Island Lord's Mansion, the atmosphere is solemn and solemn.
Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted with clasped fists.
Gao Yuliang is already over fifty, and time has left lines on his face.
Thanks to the help of Qingchen's realm-breaking elixir, he now has the peak cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi refining, and now displays the majesty of a Xuan-level island deacon.
Deng Ziyue's face was slightly oily, but he also had the ninth level of Qi refining.
Perhaps due to the growth of his own strength, the humble bowing and saluting in the past are rarely seen now.
The people they worshiped in front of them were Xu Jiuling and Gu Jianchun.
In the battle of Zenda Island, Xu Jiuling used all his skills and launched a thrilling life-and-death contest with Xu Wenshan, the head of the Xu family.
In the end, Xu Wenshan was successfully killed, but he also paid the painful price of being seriously injured. He took nearly two years to recover.
Because of this glorious military exploit, he once again took the high position of deputy head of the General Affairs Hall.
Gu Jianchun still had a paralyzed face. As a true disciple, he was extremely talented. In the battlefield of Haichang Island, he made even more achievements.
Not long ago, he successfully broke through to the middle stage of foundation building.
Since then, the Xuan-level upper-grade "Zixia Xuan Gong" in his body has been running freely, and his magic power is pure and powerful.
The middle-grade spiritual weapon Shaoyang Sword in his hand has also helped him kill countless enemies.
Whenever he activated the Shaoyang Sword, the purple-cloud sword energy was everywhere, and its power was terrifying.
Because of this, he made a great name for himself as "Master Ziyang" in this sea area.
Gu Jianchun asked, "The wedding is coming soon. How is your master doing these days? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue looked at each other tacitly after hearing this.
Gao Yuliang then stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, saying earnestly:
"Reporting to Uncle Gu, my master has been quietly in seclusion a month ago, seeking to break through the bottleneck. He was extremely secretive this time and did not tell anyone where he was in seclusion."
Xu Jiuling heard this and smiled playfully: "This kind of behavior is undoubtedly his usual style.
Qingchen is a man who acts both vigorously and slipperily, making people unpredictable. However, since he has set a wedding date with the Yue family of Xuanyue Island.
He is also preparing for the wedding with great fanfare, sending out invitations, and inviting us here privately, it is not possible that he will disappear, right?"
