In the Clouds: Mulan Line

Chapter 8
After the two war horses ran through the mountains for three days, the front suddenly became clear. The land in front of them suddenly became flat, and the green gradually decreased, replaced by a desolate yellow.

A huge city suddenly appeared in front of it standing on the ground. Under the golden sunlight, the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of colorful light. The most conspicuous thing was a huge peacock above the city, a peacock that was about to fly The body reflects different precious lights, and at first glance, it looks like a divine bird that is really about to fly from that city.

But in fact, this is the symbol of Peacock City. The whole peacock is made of gold and covered with countless precious gems.Therefore, Peacock City is also called the Golden City, and this place is the gateway to the Sea of ​​Sand in the Clouds.Behind the Peacock City is the real sea of ​​sand in the clouds.

After entering the city, Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue went straight to the center of Peacock City.

Along the way, the shopkeeper of the caravan talked a lot about the secret jade society. The secret jade society in Peacock City is not the real head office of the secret jade society, but a branch.But even the branch of the Secret Jade Association is very important.

The headquarters of the Secret Jade Association is located in Yucheng, and Yucheng is a very famous and very special city in the sea of ​​sand in the clouds.Even Hua Mulan, who only has the word Great Wall in her daily life, is very fond of Yucheng.

Naturally, he was also full of curiosity about the Secret Jade Club of the Yucheng business group.

The history of Yucheng can be traced back to the period when the 36 countries were divided into three kingdoms. At that time, there was a sea of ​​sand in the clouds, and each of the 36 countries was divided into its own merits, and it was extremely prosperous.Countless majestic cities stand in the sea of ​​sand.And Yucheng is one of them. It is the richest country among the 36 countries, and it also has the most magnificent royal capital.

Until the remaining 36 countries in the 35 were destroyed one after another, became history, became broken walls in the sand sea, and became relics and ruins under the cover of yellow sand, but Yucheng still exists and stands today.

The reason why Yucheng can always exist in turmoil and change, not to be swept away by the ruthless long river of history, and even always prosperous and rich, its root comes from the underground of Yucheng.

It is said that it is an extremely large jade mine.

In the sea of ​​sand in the clouds, jade is a very special existence.

Jade is not only precious wealth, but also a treasure bestowed by God, and the so-called treasure refers to the jade of Yucheng.

Yucheng jade has a very special energy, that energy is called activity.There are even jade stones that simply "live" because their activity has reached a certain level and become a special kind of life.Jade with active energy is extremely precious, and the price is naturally extremely high.

Only Yucheng has Yucheng jade, and Yucheng jade can only be excavated by the secret jade society belonging to Yucheng.They can use a magical secret method that can perfectly excavate jade mines.

It is conceivable that the secret jade society, and the jade city behind it, have mastered such a huge wealth.

It is said that the entire city of Jade City, its bricks and tiles are all carved from jade, and the entire Jade City is a priceless treasure.

It is said that every day when the sun rises, Yucheng will emit a hazy halo, which will continue to expand and reflect more magnificent colors, just like a gorgeous flower blooming layer by layer.

Therefore, Yucheng is known as the beautiful flower blooming in the sea of ​​sand, and also known as the city of wonders.However, very few people have really seen this city of wonders.

Like the mysterious Yucheng, even the Secret Jade Association, a business group that travels outside on behalf of Yucheng, is equally mysterious.Although they are a business group, they don't need to travel north and south like other caravans. Because they have Yucheng Jade, there will naturally be a steady stream of caravans gathered in front of the Secret Jade Meeting from all directions.

It is said that the core members of the Secret Jade Association are not merchants like other merchant groups, but more mysterious jade mages who master the secret methods of magic.

Peacock City is the gateway to the sea of ​​sand in the clouds, so it is reasonable for the branch of the Secret Jade Society to be established here.However, according to the shopkeeper of the caravan, there are many speculations circulating in private, for example, Peacock City actually belongs to the power of the Secret Jade Society, and the entire city is controlled by the Secret Jade Society.

And here, the secret jade master jade master never shows up, but enjoys the supreme status in Peacock City.

The person who knows the black crystal sand best is naturally the mysterious jade mage, but it is not easy to meet the jade mage, but it is not without chance.

After Baili Shouyue and Hua Mulan inquired separately, they found out some news. In Peacock City, such news can be heard everywhere, and it is not a secret at all.

Because... there are too many people who want to see Master Yu!

Most of them are naturally for the purchase of Yucheng Jade, even if it is only a piece of Yucheng Jade the size of a thumb, it is enough to arouse the scramble of wealthy merchants.Even Hua Mulan was taken aback when she knew how many merchants lived in Peacock City all year round just to be able to buy Yucheng jade in the first place.

"The inns on this whole street are full of merchants. Have you seen those servants? They have been waiting near the Secret Jade Club for a long time, just to get the notification from the Secret Jade Club as soon as possible. But even if they want to buy Yucheng Jade, they may not necessarily You can see Master Jade."

A hotel clerk talked to Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue. Originally, the clerk was a little ignorant when Hua Mulan asked, but when Baili Shouyue took out a silver coin, the clerk immediately become talkative.

Hua Mulan:……

It turned out that the way she asked was wrong.

"Then how can I meet Master Yu?" Hua Mulan asked.

The buddy let out a cheer, and looked at Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyue with a clear face: "The two guests want to go to Yucheng, right?"

Hua Mulan was taken aback, but Baili Shouyue asked gently, "How do you say that?"

The guy had an expression that I understand and I understand, and said: "Yucheng is a good place, you two are adventurers at first glance... Isn't the most attractive thing in Yucheng besides businessmen? Are you an adventurer? But if you want to enter Yucheng, It is impossible not to pass the Secret Jade Association."

The buddy said, also looking yearning, that is Yucheng...

Then the buddy told Hua Mulan and Baili Shouyi how to join Yucheng. Simply put, there is no way, or at the level of a buddy, he still can’t get to know the method. Come on, adventurers who are confident in themselves will enter the Secret Jade Association, but they will soon come out seriously injured, even in the form of corpses.

Those who survived by luck often suffered a huge blow.

Later, there were fewer such adventurers, but they did not disappear. After all, for adventurers, it is not a big deal to risk their lives in order to enter such a mysterious city of wonders as Yucheng. A batch of people who can risk their lives for the sake of adventure.

As for Hua Mulan and Baili Shou, who carried heavy swords and long spears and looked like they were not businessmen, they were naturally planned to be such desperate adventurers.After expressing his admiration for Hua Mulan and Baili's courage to keep the promise, he also personally presented them with a plate of meat.

Hua Mulan looked at the mutton chops on the table in front of her, and couldn't tell what she was feeling: "This... the way he looked at us just now, is it pity?"

"En." Baili Shouyue nodded.

Hua Mulan poked the lamb chops with a knife: "So this is... the decapitated meat for seeing off?"

Baili Shouyue nodded again: "It should be."

Hua Mulan:……

Then she couldn't help smiling, her eyes full of eagerness: "Then I'm quite interested. Why did those adventurers go in vertically and come out horizontally, what kind of dragon's lake and tiger's lair is this secret jade..."

Not to mention that the way of buying Yucheng jade is not feasible for the two of them, this is the only way left. Even if buying Yucheng jade can meet the mysterious Jade Master, Hua Mulan is more willing to go through this second way.

Dare to challenge unknown dangers is the courage of the guards of the Great Wall.
