I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 190: The Ghost Mist Surges Like a Tide

Hidden City was built by King Qin, one of the Five Kings, to counterattack the demon tribe. There are a total of 18 hidden cities scattered all over the country.

Therefore, it is more like a place where troops are stationed than a city.

Hidden city in the mountains.

Xu Xian soared to the top of the city wall, and countless soldiers were once again on full alert. The formation created by [Duke Zhou], which even the Demon Saint could not decipher without careful observation, was slowly operating, and the whole city was shrouded in fog, unnoticed by outsiders.

"What kind of creature is this? It's so dark and gloomy. Could it be some big shot in the underworld?"

Xu Xian narrowed his eyes, his expression solemn:
"But this is the Southern Dynasty. Why would someone from the underworld appear here? It's weird."

With the formation covering it, there was no need to worry about the hidden city being discovered - but Xu Xian always felt that the imperial carriage was heading for the hidden city!

He glanced sideways to signal, and the city lord understood, raised his hand, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"

The soldiers in the Strength Realm drew their swords and knives, the centurions and thousand-man captains in the Qi Realm were all gathering their strength, and the generals at the three levels of immortality were also preparing their military formations.

This city, which looked like an ordinary mountain, was so illusory that even the demon saints could hardly see through it. Suddenly, a bleak and murderous feeling filled the air.

Above the city, the dragon shape formed by the smoke became more solid and more agile, no longer looking like a simple dead object.

'Boom!Boom!Boom! '

"Woo~~~!"

The gongs and drums roared loudly, and the sound of the Buddhist horns was vast and majestic, rising from the flat ground and echoing for thousands of miles. The small stone mountain town on one side was silent as a cicada in fear.

Countless people in the town were terrified and could not help but stare at the approaching fog.

"That's. What's that?"

In Xiaoshishan Town, the respected elders muttered to themselves, and things in the mist gradually took shape.

You can see the ghostly servants standing on both sides, holding ceremonial guards, beating gongs and drums, and blowing Buddhist horns.

You can see thirty-six chariots rumbling forward, and on each chariot stands a god in golden armor, looking solemn and dignified!
Surrounded by the guards of honor and the carriages, the five-colored co-drivers were so solemn that it was hard to tell who was sitting among them. In the middle of the five-colored co-drivers was a black Dharma carriage, pulled by nine one-horned ghost horses.

The imperial carriage is similar to a large sedan chair, with curtains swaying slightly and red tassels of red jade hung on both sides, which collided with each other as they swayed, making a tinkling sound that seemed to be able to captivate one's soul.

Weird, scary, solemn and terrifying.

Two passenger seats.

"arrive."

Luo Shuangyu pursed her lips and saw the small stone mountain town through the gap between the swaying curtains. Her expression was solemn, and she subconsciously looked forward, and saw the "small stone mountain".

The seemingly low, lush green mountain is actually just an illusion. There is a hidden city.

"Little Miss Luo."

An old voice came from the imperial carriage, with a hint of the sound of waking up from a dream, as if he had just slept for a long time.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Luo Shuangyu felt that this voice was mixed with a different aura than before, more solemn, more dignified, and more
sacred.

When she heard the sound, she had the illusion of enlightenment.

"Mr. Zhou." Luo Shuangyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly bowed in the direction of the imperial carriage.

"Is that mountain ahead the hidden city in the mountains?"

"To reply to Mr. Zhou, yes."

After a pause, Luo Shuangyu said cautiously:

"Mr. Zhou, the city is probably facing a great enemy right now. Do you want me to quietly enter the city and report something? The hidden city in the mountains is a secret operation by our human race, so it is not good to go in with a big fanfare."

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at the trembling Xiaoshishan Town.

There might be monsters in that town.

The human race has a secret method of disguising themselves as demons, and there are many human races lurking in the Demon Dynasty. Although the Southern Dynasty does not think highly of the Five Kings City,

But some wild monsters often disguise themselves as humans and blend into gathering places.

In the royal carriage, the old voice sounded again, the voice was deafening, and it also had a fierce and peaceful feeling, which seemed contradictory and harmonious.

"No need."

The old man, who had just woken up and was still a little sleepy, said calmly:
"I'm here to pick someone up."

"I don't want to stay in this hidden city for even a moment."

The moment he finished speaking, the dense and dark fog that enveloped the imperial carriage, its attendant vehicles, and the ceremonial guards suddenly rolled over and spread in all directions, like a huge tide covering the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the fog had completely submerged the area within a thousand miles.
The people in Xiaoshishan Town could not see their hands in front of them. As soon as their minds left their bodies, they were swallowed by the fierce mist. They could not see anything, and their minds could not see anything.

Add to that the incessant sounds of gongs and drums and Buddhist horns, and the whole scene is like a ghost town!
Infants were crying, women were trembling, and middle-aged men were shaking like sieves on the ground.

Within the law.

"Brother Daoist, why are you acting like a world-destroying demon?" The porcelain doll that just fell out of the black gold bronze order rubbed its forehead.

Zhou Mu smiled helplessly:

"After all, this is the Dharma Chariot of Yama Palace. It can't be filled with fairy spirits and golden lotuses, right?"

As he spoke, he stroked the robe of the City God King on his body and an idea came to him.

The mist was vast and huge, and it rushed up. Knowing the target's location in advance, the concealment array of [Duke Zhou] was naturally useless.
Immediately, the illusion was broken, the small stone mountain disappeared, and was replaced by a magnificent [Military City].

The city walls are towering, the soldiers are on high alert, the swords are sharp and the energy is so strong that even the rolling mist is cut into pieces by this energy!

"The formation was seen through?"

The city lord was horrified, General Shifang swallowed his saliva, and Xu Xian, who looked as solemn as a Buddhist Vajra, narrowed his eyes:
"I came here for the Hidden City."

He was still shirtless at this time, with golden dragon patterns running across his muscles and skin, and faint dragon roars could be heard.

The next moment, Xu Xian took a deep breath and asked loudly:
"Who are you, and why are you here?"

The sound was so loud and clear, and the Buddha's light was so bright, it actually drove away the thick fog by ten miles!

"Real immortal?" the porcelain doll laughed.

Zhou Mu was slightly surprised. Wasn't it said that the lord of the hidden city would be the Inspector Buzhou?
There is actually someone in charge of the second level of the fairyland?
He didn't care, sensing the hidden city, and replied calmly:
"It's not a demon or a ghost, but a human. I'm not here to make enemies, but to pick up some old friends."

As he spoke, Zhou Mu tried to anchor his position as the Great City God in this hidden city and transform himself into the City God of the hidden city - he could change it at any time anyway.

He could feel that there was a mysterious connection between him and Hidden City, and this connection was constantly deepening.

There was even an inexplicable power that came from the city and blessed him.

The power is not strong, but it is better than nothing. Zhou Mu was slightly surprised, and then he realized that the City God is the god who protects, guards and defends the city, and he can also get the blessing of the luck of guarding the city.
The more majestic the city is, the more special its status is, and the greater the blessing from the City God.

Just as he was realizing the blessing of this power, on the wall of Hidden City.

Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't show any fear. He just started to sing in Sanskrit:
"You are a member of our human race. With such a posture, you must be a local hero. May I ask your name?"

After a pause, he added:

"I am the old man Buzhou, and the sage who returned to the world, Xu Xian!"

The returned sage Xu Xian?

Zhou Mu sat up straighter and asked, "Which Xu Xian?"
The one with the human-snake love?
He blinked and laughed a little. Can Xu Xian be called a sage?

Well, that's right, Master said that many of the returnees are neither sages nor saints. But they basically leave their names in the history of the human race.
But why does Xu Xian's speech sound so Buddhist?

Zhou Mu's tone softened a bit - after all, he was a 'celebrity' he had heard of in his previous life. He replied:
"I am not famous, I am neither a sage nor a saint, my last name is Zhou, and that is just my name."

Then he looked sideways and asked:

"Fellow Daoist Nezha, do you recognize this Xu Xian?"

Zhou Mu had the impression that in some versions of the story, Xu Xian eventually became an immortal.

Nezha pondered for a moment and nodded slightly:
"I have some impression of him. He seems to be the [Great Emperor of Medicine and Benevolence]. Uh, although he is called an emperor, he is actually an external official who is not in the mainstream and is not included in the list of conferred gods and immortals. He has no rank at all."

Zhou Mu understood:

"Foreign officials? Are there many in Heaven?"

"There are quite a few, almost all of them are human. The famous ones are Guan Sheng Dadi and Tianshu Shangxiang. The former is Guan Yu and the latter is Zhuge Kongming. These titles sound intimidating, but in reality they are not included in the list of conferred gods and commanded immortals, and cannot be considered true immortal officials."

Nezha answered,
at this time,

Zhou Muzhi's loud voice echoed towards the hidden city. Xu Xian frowned and pondered the word "Zhou Er". He had never heard of it before. It seemed that he was not a returnee.
However, the human race is cursed, and the talents of the current generation are dull. Most of the great people are returnees who do not belong to the current generation and are exempt from the curse, that is, the ancient sages.
Mr.Zhou?

He touched the [Tailao Order] on his waist and sent a message to the infinitely distant Five Kings City, asking for Zhou Er's name, while shouting:

"So it's Mr. Zhou. I wonder who Mr. Zhou's old friend is? I can send him here on Mr. Zhou's behalf!"

Xu Xian had no intention of letting this unknown person enter the city. He stared at the scene in the mist, his brows twitching.

One hundred and eight great evil spirits and thirty-six golden-armored warriors!

This is the Dharma Chariot of the Netherworld!!

Even in the ancient times, the Great Yin Messenger was the ceremonial guard, and the strong man drove the chariot. This was a treatment that at least the Great Judge could enjoy.

The specifications of the Dharma carriage are even more terrifying, being at the level of the Emperor of the Underworld, and even higher than the Ten Kings of Hell! !
Zhou Er: Could it be that he is some ancient sage who, like himself, holds a position outside the underworld and is not included in the list of immortals?
He thought about it.

Zhou Muling stopped the imperial carriage and responded gently:

“What I am looking for are only two.”

"One is the leader of the Tietou Sect, Wang Tietou, and the other is Yang Niannian. They should both be in the city."

On the city wall, Xu Xian nodded, glanced sideways and said:

"Go and find these two people quickly and escort them out of the city respectfully, lest anything unexpected happens if we delay for too long."

After he finished speaking, he saw that the city lord was motionless and looked embarrassed, so he frowned immediately:
"What? Is there something strange?"

The city lord looked at Youwu's carriage in shock, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on his face:
"Master Xu, you don't know that Wang Tietou is with the temple keeper. I'm afraid that temple keeper is Yang Niannian!"

Xu Xian's eyes suddenly widened and his eyelids twitched wildly.

He turned back and stared at the smoke that was still slowly forming, and he knew it in his mind - it would take about half an hour.
"I'm in trouble." Xu Xian's expression was solemn, and Buddhist music was rippling beside him. At this time, a distant voice came from the Dharma carriage in the fog.

"Friend Xu, have you found my old friend?"

Xu Xian pursed his lips and said loudly:

"Mr. Zhou, please be patient. We are looking for him. There are many people in the city, so it may take some time!"

"Then I will wait here." The old voice came with the rolling mist. Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and ordered in a low voice:
"Prepare the troops!"

"Yes!" The city lord gave the order quietly.

Time passes little by little,
Zhou Mu closed his eyes and rested. He put two fingers together and tapped rhythmically on the carved armrest, and the mist swelled with it.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour
In the midst of silence, the imperial chariot was majestic and cold. As for the vast hidden city, not even a sound was heard.

Zhou Mu frowned. Was this a little too long?
Even though there are a lot of people in the hidden city, it should be quick to find two people, right?

Moreover, the whole city should have heard my voice, and Xiao Nian and Wang Tietou should have heard it as well. It was impossible that they were scared by my old voice and my royal carriage.

Then the two of them hid?
At this moment, his connection with Yincheng was completely established. He became the city god of this city, and his senses suddenly changed.

Zhou Mu experienced a very mysterious "perspective", what he saw was not the people and things in the city, but the "momentum" and "fortune" of the city.
It is the fortune and momentum of the city, and also the fortune and momentum of the people in the city.

All can be seen clearly like the lines in the palm of your hand, and
It seems that I can change it myself?

Zhou Mu was surprised. The power and luck of the city, the power and luck of the creatures in the city
Isn't it true that for all living beings in the Hidden City, their fortunes and opportunities are all determined by their own decisions?

Even the fortune of the entire hidden city, whether it will prosper or decline in the future, can be decided by oneself? ?
According to what Nezha Daoist narrated and the announcement in the Book of Conferred Gods and Commanded Immortals, the City God should not be able to do this? ?
Is it because I have become an innate creature?
still is
Or are you the [Yuanshi City God]?
Zhou Mu didn’t know, and for the time being he didn’t have the time to think about it. He quietly observed the fate and trend of the Hidden City.

The fortune of Yincheng is very shallow, but the situation is extremely tense, with a hint of war. Does this mean that Yincheng is preparing for war?
No, the clanging sound in the momentum was extremely heavy. It was not preparation for war, but the preparation for a city-wide fight.

Zhou Mu lowered his eyelids, and the two fingers that were tapping the armrest suddenly sank, making a "dong" sound!
The next moment.

The rolling dark fog looked like evil spirits and ferocious monsters, sweeping towards the hidden city like a vast tide!

‘Boom! ! ’

The huge tide of ghost fog slammed heavily on the city wall, and the whole city shook violently. Above the mist, an ancient palace was faintly visible, and the ghost fog was strong again!

The fog flooded the city walls, freezing people to the bone, and in an instant, the entire hidden city was shrouded!

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, why is this happening?!"

Xu Xian's voice was heard, and Buddha's light shone up, suddenly breaking through the layers of ghost fog. Zhou Mu said nothing, but put his two fingers together and knocked again!

Above the Dharma carriage, the hall suddenly lit up, and a guillotine flew out, shattering the radiant Buddha light. A vast mist, like a sea of smoke, submerged it.

The hidden city suddenly turned into a dense and dark den, and the soldiers were all in danger.

"Friend Zhou!" Xu Xian was shocked and furious. He soared into the sky against the vast ghost fog like a giant King Kong. Above his naked body, a golden dragon was circling and he was filled with murderous aura!
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what exactly do you want to do?"

He asked coldly.
