Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 309: The First City in Wanli

At the end of the misty ice field, layers of ghost fog blocked the sky and the sun and moon, making the earth cold and dark, without a trace of light, like an eternal night.

In the thick ghost fog, a cloud sea flying boat was flying quickly.

"Master Zuo, I heard that the end of the misty ice field is the end of the earth. Is that true?" Feng Qingyan looked at the huge dark city in front of him and asked curiously.

He couldn't imagine what the end of the earth would be like.

"indeed so."

Zuo Shaozai nodded and said, "To be precise, the Yellow Spring ghost place is the end of the earth."

"What does the end of the earth look like?"

Feng Qingyan asked.

"The end of the earth is endless nothingness. You can go there and see it when you are canonized."

Zuo Shaozai smiled and said that when he first came to Huangquan Ghost Land, he was also very curious about the so-called end of the earth. However, the end of the earth is difficult to describe in words, and only by seeing it in person can you know what it looks like.

Feng Qingyan nodded.

At this time, the Yunhai flying boat was closer, probably about a hundred miles away.

The closer the Cloud Sea Flying Boat got, the bigger the First City looked to Feng Qingyan, so big that it was shocking. Then, Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. He vaguely saw that there was a mountain behind the wall of the First City...

"Only four feet?"

At this time, Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment, seeing that the wall of Wanli First City was only four feet high. And the wall of Bo City was also three feet high...

And the No. 1 city in Wanli, as a fortress guarding the ghost land of Huangquan, has a city wall only four meters high?
Is this too low?
"This side of the city wall faces the human world. Its main function is to defend against evil spirits, so it only needs to be four feet high. The real city wall is on the other side, and it is more than ten feet high..."

Zuo Shaozai explained after hearing this.

"I see."

Feng Qingyan nodded and his eyes fell on the city wall.

At this time, he discovered that there seemed to be some evil spirits hidden in the ghost fog around him, and they would occasionally attack the First City. However, before the evil spirits could reach the city wall, they were killed by the words on the wall and could not get close to the wall at all.

On the city wall, there were many figures in armor walking around.

After a while, the Yunhai flying boat was less than a hundred feet away from the Wanli First City. Zuo Shaozai hesitated for a moment and then stopped, saying, "If you bring the evil spirit into the city, you can only enter through the city gate."

The Yunhai flying boat can fly directly into the first city, but the evil spirit cannot fly in with it.

Moreover, at this time, the words on the wall of the First City burst out with a strong white light, which had a great damaging effect on the evil spirits.

If it is a ghost below the scholar level, it may be directly reduced to ashes.

However, even the most evil spirits are at least at the level of scholars.

At this time Feng Qingyan walked out of the flying boat and carefully observed the three evil spirits following behind. The evil spirits were illuminated by the white light and seemed to be uncomfortable, becoming restless.

“The literary influence is not small.”

Zuo Shaozai said after taking back the flying boat.

Feng Qingyan nodded, then looked at the First City, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "The city is filled with a strong spiritual energy, I'm afraid we can't test it."

“I overlooked that.”

Zuo Shaozai said.

"You and your companions are waiting a hundred miles away. Do not hurt anyone." Feng Qingyan stretched out his hand to reveal the token and said, "Retreat."

Upon hearing this, the three evil spirits looked at the First City in Wanli and quickly retreated.

At this moment, several figures flew over from the city wall, with vigorous blood and energy bursting out of their bodies, as if a layer of flames was burning on their bodies.

"May I ask who you two are?"

A middle-aged man in armor asked in a deep voice, glancing at Feng Qingyan and Zuo Shaozai, then glancing at the retreating evil spirit, a fierce aura emanating from his body.

He is one of the military generals guarding the First City, and is specifically responsible for guarding the South and Central Gates of the First City.

The other four warriors holding long swords, all of whom were martial artists at the master level, also looked at Feng Qingyan and Zuo Shaozai warily.

They not only saw the flying boat, but also three evil spirits.

"I am the Zuo Fu of the Tianguan Palace of the Confucianism." Zuo Shaozai took out his identity token, showed it and said, "I have something important to do in the First City."

"It turned out to be Zuo Shaozai."

When the middle-aged general saw the token, he bowed and said, "This humble general greets Junior Prime Minister Zuo."

"Greetings, Young Master Zuo." The four martial artists saluted.

Zuo Shaozai nodded, but without introducing Feng Qingyan, he said, "The great righteous master has come out of the underworld."

"I don't know what will happen next."

The middle-aged general said respectfully, "But the Ghost Suppression Palace has issued an order that if Zuo Shaozai arrives, please go to the Ghost Suppression Palace immediately."

Zuo Shaozai nodded, glanced at Feng Qingyan, and rushed towards the first city.

Feng Qingyan followed closely behind.

"Open the city gate!"

The middle-aged general and four martial artists followed closely behind, and shouted loudly before they reached the city gate.

The city gate slowly opened.

Zuo Shaozai and Feng Qingyan walked quickly through the city gate and saw a huge square.

There were oil lamps hanging around the square, emitting white light, which made Feng Qingyan a little surprised.

How can the light of an oil lamp be white?
“This is a literary lamp.”

Zuo Shaozai walked and spoke as he quickly swept away.

At the end of the square is a street that is a hundred feet wide, and at the end of the street is a magnificent hall.

On the streets, many civilian soldiers can be seen walking hurriedly.

"This is Qilin Street, and at the end is the Ghost Suppression Hall." Zuo Shaozai introduced, "And all the orders of Wanli Changting come from the Ghost Suppression Hall, and the Lord of Righteousness is the master of the Ghost Suppression Hall."

A moment later, the two walked out of Qilin Street and came to the huge Ghost-Suppressing Temple.

On the main entrance of the hall, there was a plaque with the words "Hall of Suppressing Ghosts". White light burst out from it, interweaving with the white light from various places in the city, blocking the sky like a barrier, preventing evil spirits from flying over the city.

There were many scholars and military generals coming in and out of the Ghost-Suppressing Hall, all of them seemed to be in a hurry.

At this time, Feng Qingyan looked around curiously and found that there were ordinary people in Qilin Street. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "There are ordinary people in the First City?"

"Have."

Zuo Shaozai nodded.

"Defend against insults?"

A surprised voice came from the front. It was an old man who had just walked out of the Ghost Suppression Hall. He walked quickly towards Zuo Shaozai and asked in surprise, "Why is Yu Wu here?"

"It turns out to be Chen Sinong. Has the Righteous Lord returned from the netherworld?"

Zuo Shaozai said.

"not yet."

The old man was wearing a coarse cloth shirt and straw sandals. He sighed and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid the great righteous leader is in great danger."

"what?"

Zuo Shaozai was startled and asked quickly, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

The old man shook his head.

At this time, Zuo Shaozai couldn't help but look at Feng Qingyan, intending to ask Feng Sheng for help again.

Feng Qingyan frowned when he heard this. This shouldn't happen. Could it be that another accident happened while he was on the road?
"Yuwu, is this a junior from your clan?"

The old man looked at Feng Qingyan and said.

"what--"

Zuo Shaozai exclaimed, and hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, this is canonization."

"Canonization?"

The old man was startled, and he bowed quickly and said, "Greetings, Canonized Saint."

"Canonized, this is Chen Quhua, the Minister of Agriculture, Chen Wu, the Junior Minister of Agriculture of the Ghost-Suppressing Palace, in charge of the farming affairs of the Wanli Changting."
