Chapter 120 The wind blows and the sky becomes cold in Hanshan City
"What Fang Mu said is correct...this Puqiang tribe is indeed the same as Wu Sen. They both use death energy to practice, but it seems that they are obviously not comparable to Wu Sen." Su Ming murmured, and after a long time he looked back at the mountain peak. Looking at the Hanshan City in the distance, he stood up and took the next step, following the mountain road towards the Handan City in the dusk.
"If I really refine that soul-seizing powder, from now on, I will be in line with what others call the identity of an evil barbarian..." In the dusk, Su Ming's figure was pulled out into a long shadow, and there was loneliness in that figure. At the same time, there is also a firmness and persistence.
The dusk sun, with its lingering warmth, shone on this mountainous land. Su Ming faced the setting sun and walked toward the strange city of Hanshan.
This city is already majestic from a distance, but now as Su Ming approaches, the city looks even more majestic and astonishing. With the mountain as the city, the height of the mountain melts into pressure, creating a strong sense of oppression that can make All the people approaching this city can clearly feel it at the foot of the mountain. In addition, the three mists surrounding the city have a deterrent effect. In this way, even people with extraordinary cultivation levels can come here. Sometimes, I can't help but act cautiously.
Su Ming looked at the Hanshan City, took a deep breath, and with a calm expression, he walked up the mountain road step by step. Under the Hanshan City, there were eight wide steps that went straight up, just like the city that began to appear halfway up the mountain. Eight door connections.
If you want to enter this city, you must go along the mountain steps.
Of these eight gates, only four are open to the public. The remaining four gates belong to the three tribes that control the city. The remaining one is called the Hakka Road. The mountain steps and the Only the strong Hakka of these three tribes can walk.
The hierarchy seems to be strict, which highlights the strength of these three tribes and their desire to absorb the strong Hakka people.
When Su Ming came here for the first time, he walked slowly along the mountain steps leading to the Ordinary Gate. There was no one guarding the steps until Su Ming reached halfway up the mountain and saw one of the eight gates of Handan City.
There are two huge stone statues about ten feet high standing next to this arched gate. These two stone statues belong to the barbarians and seem to be fighting. Although they are not moving, there is a sense of murder in their faces.
This gate is framed by the arms of these two stone statues, forming the shape of the gate.At that high place, on the door frame formed by the arms of the two statues clasped together, there was a young man in a gray robe at the moment, lying there reclined, with one leg pulled down, shaking casually.
There was a token hanging on the young man's waist, and there was a touch of red on the blue background. He closed his eyes, as if he was in a doze, and there was a blue gourd in his hand. The smell of alcohol dissipated, even the wind could not blow it away.
Looking at this gate, a light flashed in Su Ming's eyes. This was the most spectacular city he had ever seen in his life. He deeply remembered the appearance of this city gate. Su Ming stepped forward and stepped directly through the gate. , the moment he entered Hanshan City, a lazy voice came leisurely.
"You don't understand the rules?"
The person who spoke was none other than the young man. The young man opened his eyes, took a sip from the green gourd beside him, and glanced at Su Ming with a hazy look as if he was drunk. Su Ming's clothes made his eyes slightly clearer.
Su Ming looked calm. As the man spoke, he raised his right hand and with a flick, a white stone coin flew out and went straight to the young man, who grabbed him.
From Fang Mu, Su Ming had already learned that anyone could enter Hanshan City as long as they paid a certain amount of stone coins, and more and more stone coins would be collected according to the length of stay.
After the young man put away the stone coins, he threw out a gray token, then leaned there again, drinking the wine from the gourd, and fell asleep.
After receiving the token, Su Ming hung it on his waist. The colors of this token are divided into different colors. Black, red and white are not usable except for people from the three tribes. The Hakka strong ones have a blue background. According to their classification, Different tribes, add one color.
As for ordinary people entering and leaving this city, it is gray. According to the luster on it, if it is dim, it means that they cannot stay in this city. Unless they spend more stone coins to increase their time, otherwise, once they are discovered by the guards of this city, they will Will be severely punished.
And most of the people who enter this city are badges that need to be hung on their waists and other conspicuous places.
Su Ming remained silent, hanging the gray token. After walking through the door, he entered Hanshan City. A loud sound hit his face, and the silence outside the door seemed to be divided into two different worlds. , this made Su Ming slightly surprised.
There are many pedestrians in Handan City. In the city built around the mountain peaks, there are many shops and it is a bustling scene. The houses are also built of mountain stones, and the mud and stone city cannot be compared with it.
Walking in Hanshan City, Su Ming looked around. Almost all the scenery here made him feel strange. The bustling and noisy seemed incompatible with his silence.
There are houses, shops, and even huge buildings that are more than ten feet high. Among the pedestrians here, Su Ming almost didn't see anyone wearing animal skins. The last one was burlap, and there were many colors, and there were even more unusual ones. Like him, Shao was wearing a robe that was obviously much more expensive.
"Equivalent to the size of nearly ten mud and stone cities." Su Ming walked calmly on the mountain road of Hanshan City, his eyes scanning the pedestrians passing by.
"There are not many ordinary people here, most of them are barbarians...and their cultivation is not weak." Su Ming kept observing as he walked. It was getting late soon, but the bustle of the place continued unabated.
Based on his experience in Fengzhen Mud and Stone City, and what he learned from Fang Mu, even though Su Ming came to this Hanshan City for the first time, he did not appear confused, but selectively observed and found out. A place that Fang Mu once mentioned was an attic designed to provide accommodation for outsiders.
It was extremely lively at this time. Su Ming always looked indifferent. After entering, he glanced around and saw that there were many tables and chairs. He walked calmly to an empty seat, and after he sat down, someone came with a smiling face.
After a few conversations, Su Ming came to understand this place. He booked a room to stay and rest. After choosing some food, he ordered wine that was mostly on the other tables. He sat there, looking out the window, as if meditation.
But his ears were listening to the words of the people around him. There were many words that were useless to him, but there were also many words, which seemed to be talking about some subtle things about this city.
"In recent months, this Hanshan city should be even more lively. The three tribes of Puxiang, Yanchi, and Andong have somehow increased their intake of Hakkas."
"You have been here not long ago. I don't know the details. These three tribes are fighting openly and secretly. Every once in a while, they will increase their absorption of Hakkas. They want to learn from most of the former Tianhan to strengthen themselves."
"But this is an opportunity for us. I heard that the Yanchi tribe selected ten women from the tribe to absorb the Hakkas through in-laws. You must know that the women of the Yanchi tribe are helpful to our cultivation. This time the Yanchi tribe But I spent a lot of money."
"It's a pity that I'm not a strong Kaichen, otherwise, there would be more benefits. I heard that when Master Xuanlun joined the Puqiang Tribe, the Puqiang Tribe gave him a statue as a gift!"
Time passed slowly. Su Ming sat there, drinking the drink that made him frown slightly. The drink was very spicy and made him very uncomfortable, but as he drank, he felt a strange feeling slowly arise. , and gradually got used to it.
He knew that everything here was unfamiliar to him, so after entering this city, he had been observing and listening. It had been almost two hours since he had been sitting here. The sky outside was completely dark, but Hanshan City was It was brightly lit, and even in the attic, there were bright lights coming from several tall candlesticks.
While drinking wine, while listening to the conversations of the people here, he learned more and more about Hanshan City.
"Fang Mu has hinted many times that if I join Andong and become a Hakka in Andong, I will receive great gifts and meet many conditions. There must be some reasons for attracting Hakkas in this way." Su Ming took a sip of wine and listened silently. There was a lot of discussion around him, but there were fewer people around until midnight. He was about to get up and go to the room to rest, but suddenly his expression changed. Instead of getting up, he picked up the wine and took another sip.
However, he saw a person walking in from outside the door. This person was a man in his thirties. Different from others, the reason why Su Ming did not leave was that this person was wearing animal skins.
This was the first piece of clothing that Su Ming saw that seemed familiar to him in Hanshan City today. This man's face was a little pale and he frowned tightly. After walking in, he walked closer to Su Ming. I sat down on a table and chair far away, ordered some wine, and drank in silence.
His expression showed hesitation, hesitation, and a hint of panic.
"This person should be at the tenth level of the blood coagulation realm. He may even have reached the peak of the blood coagulation realm. He is only one step away from being kicked out." Su Ming remained calm. Although this big man had no energy and blood to disperse, But Su Ming could clearly feel the faint pressure.
Another half an hour passed, the man drank the wine without saying a word, but the struggle in his eyes became more and more intense, and he even raised his head to look at the door from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone to come .
But as time passed, when he and Su Ming were the only ones left here, and even the waiter lying on the table fell asleep, the man's expression became disappointed, and he looked around casually. After Su Ming glanced at him, he drank wine silently, and the hesitation in his expression gradually turned into determination and ruthlessness.
Su Ming did not want to stand out, so he stood up and walked towards the backyard of this place. Through these hours of observation, he already knew this place very well. He knew that behind it was a living and resting place specially prepared for outsiders, and he I had booked a room before, and as I was walking away, suddenly there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing at the door, causing the lights of the candlesticks here to flicker on and off.
At the same time, a woman in white clothes walked in slowly. This woman looked young, with a layer of white gauze on her face, she couldn't see her face clearly, only her eyes could be seen, like the starry sky. A strange charm.
