Clear clothes and immortals

Chapter 178 Rejection
"Really, maybe you are thinking that Heicheng is currently recruiting people, and you messed up this matter, but you found me, a cultivator who has not joined any forces, so you thought about going back and reporting my affairs, so that you can use your merits." It's a crime!"

Shuxuan watched the man's performance, but she didn't believe him in her heart, she just sat on the stool and said calmly.

"That's what my lord said! Even if I'm not a good person, but today my lord let me go, how could I betray my lord? In addition, there's the person behind my lord, this is something I dare not offend Yes!"

The man knelt on the ground and said flatteringly to Shuxuan.

Although the man concealed his expression very well, the sudden light in his eyes could not deceive anyone, so Shu Xuan smiled and said to him, "Okay, I don't care if you will tell others or not, I just want to tell You, if my strength is known to others, according to what you said, they will definitely come to win me over, so that I will join the city you are in, and if I tell them at that time, you will be here. Tell me, how do you think they will deal with it? Or will I do something to you when the time comes?"

Shuxuan never believed the man's guarantee, she just said it lightly, as if it didn't matter what the man did, but when the man heard Shuxuan's words, he was startled, and the light in his eyes faded instantly.

Seeing the man's performance, Shuxuan nodded in satisfaction.Sure enough, he will be really vigilant only after his vital interests are involved.

"My lord, please rest assured, I will keep everything related to my lord secret, and I will never let anyone know."

The man was really frightened by Shuxuan, and he quickly kowtowed to assure him.

"Okay, anyway, I already understand the matter, I should go down the mountain, you can figure out what to do here!"

Seeing the man like this, Shuxuan knew that he would not reveal any news about her in a short time. As for the future, since she had already left by then, even if he said it, it wouldn't matter.

After getting the news she wanted, Shu Xuan also decided to leave. Although she was still a little curious about the things here, but thinking about what the man said, the city lord sent a lot of people to other places. There is a huge conspiracy, and the matter in this place may be just a part of it. Things will definitely become big in the future. If there is something going on, if I am still in this space by then, I will definitely know about it.

After Shuxuan came out of that village, she went directly to the nearest city. I have to say that the space is really big enough. Even with Shuxuan's cultivation, it took several days to get there. Arriving at the Black City, Shuxuan stood outside and looked at the huge words 'Black City' written on the top of the city gate.

At the gate of the city, there was a long line of people waiting to enter the city. The line was moving forward at a tortoise speed, and it was not known whether they could all enter the city before dark.

"This is the Black City? It really lives up to its name! Look at the entire wall of the city, and these guards are all wearing black armor. They have no vitality at all, and I don't know Does the city have the same color as this?"

Shuxuan looked at the dark city wall and sighed, "It doesn't matter, it's already here anyway, let's go in first and see if we can get any news!"

With that said, Shuxuan walked towards the city.

"Why are there so many people? When will the queue be like this?"

But when Shuxuan walked in, she realized that the line was longer than she had imagined, and it was moving very slowly. She didn't know if she could line up into the city before dark.It's just that Shuxuan looked around, and there was no way to get in earlier. In order not to attract attention, she had to obediently line up behind.

"Why are all these people hanging their heads and not talking?"

Shuxuan, who was standing in line, was in the mood to observe these people outside the city, but only after seeing them did she realize that the crowd was eerily quiet, so many people didn't make a sound.But Shuxuan is not a talkative person, even though she is a little curious about it, she has no intention of asking.I just silently watched them line up at the gate and gave something to the guards guarding the city, and then they were let into the city.

"What did they give this? Is this the currency of this space?"

Seeing this, Shuxuan started to have a headache again. She doesn't have the currency of this space, how can she get in then?
"It's really troublesome! I don't know what happened to that person, but he sent me here, and now I can't even enter the city, so I can't just force it in like this? But I am going to the city this time. If you are inquiring about the news, why don’t you just go in and attract attention like this? Or I’d better ask them!”

Shuxuan struggled and moved forward with the crowd, and finally made up her mind, but seeing the numb crowd around her, she gave up the idea, "Forget it, I'd better go a little further and find someone to ask about the situation here. Right! None of these people speak here, who knows if someone will answer me if I ask?"

Talking about Shuxuan, she wanted to withdraw from the crowd, but she didn't expect to see an endless queue of people when she turned her head.

"What's going on here? There weren't that many people just now? These people are rushing into the city at this time. Could it be that something is going to happen in the city?"

Shuxuan looked at the crowd in line in surprise. Although Shuxuan was immersed in her own thoughts just now, she still sensed that someone was queuing up behind her. so many people.

"Forget it, I'll continue queuing up! Anyway, these gatekeepers are all monks, and at worst, they will take out the spirit stones at that time. I don't believe that they will not accept the spirit stones."

Shuxuan looked at Renlong and thought about it carefully, but she still didn't want to go out and come back to line up again, it was a waste of time.

"Brother, I'm going to the city."

After queuing for a long time, it was finally Shuxuan's turn. She looked at the expressionless guard standing in front of her and stretched out her hand, and said with a smile on her face.

"Bring it."

It's a pity that the guard didn't seem to see Shuxuan's expression, but just looked at Shuxuan coldly, stretched out a hand and said in front of Shuxuan.

"Brother, may I ask what you need to pay to enter the city? I have practiced in a place isolated from the world with my master since I was young. This is the first time I have come out. I don't have these things. Why don't you take a look at this spirit?" Is the stone okay?"

As she spoke, Shuxuan took out the spirit stone she had prepared earlier and handed it to the guard.

"Yeah! There's a show."

Seeing that the guards saw Lingshi's eyes loosen, Shuxuan secretly said happily in her heart.

"no!"

But who knew that the guard shook his head and firmly rejected Shu Xuan.

"Ah? Why? What exactly is this beast stone you're talking about? Tell me, shall I fix it right away?"

Shu Xuan was also confused by the guard's strange reaction. She clearly saw that the guard wanted this spirit stone, and after the guard refused, Shu Xuan could still see the reluctance in his eyes. Xuan really didn't understand why the guard refused?
"Friend Daoist, if you don't have enough beast stones, get out of the way! We are all still waiting to enter the city!"

As soon as Shuxuan finished speaking, before the guard could speak, he heard a man's unceremonious voice behind him.

Hearing the man's words, the people behind seemed to have woken up as well. From being taciturn before, they became eloquent in an instant, speaking mercilessly to Shu Xuan one by one.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist, you are wasting everyone's time like this. When the time comes, the city gate will be closed, and everyone will not be able to enter."

"That's right! Fellow Daoist, get out of the way! Don't waste everyone's time here!"

Shuxuan didn't understand why she suddenly provoked her, but she felt a little embarrassed after being talked about by so many people, she took a few steps back and was about to exit!But at this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Could it be that you didn't collect enough beast stones to enter the city, so you want to delay the time here so that we can't all enter?"

Shuxuan turned her head when she heard the voice, and saw a pale man looking at her viciously. Shuxuan looked at the man in surprise. She was very sure that this was the first time she had seen this man. How could he treat him? Why do you have such great malice?
"It's true that you know people and faces but don't know your heart! I didn't expect that this fellow Taoist looks like a human being, but his mind is so vicious. He couldn't enter the city by himself, and he wanted to drag us all to be buried with her."

"Hmph! Don't be fooled by her appearance. Although a beautiful woman can deceive people, this ugly one is not bad at all!"

...

After being reminded by the man, the heads behind him seemed to have suddenly come to their senses, and they all took what the man said as facts, and accused Shu Xuan one after another.At this time, the man who spoke first hid aside, looking at Shu Xuan with a sinister smile on his face.

After being criticized by everyone, Shuxuan still didn't understand what was going on, so she was accused of being a murderer by everyone, and Shuxuan said that she was really innocent.

"Fellow Daoist, you should let it go first! You don't have enough beast stones, no matter what you take out, you won't be able to exchange them for the chance to enter the city!"

At this time, the guard guarding the gate saw Shu Xuan standing there in a daze, and such a large group of people were accusing her there again, so he frowned, and comforted Shu Xuan in a businesslike manner.

They opened their mouths not because they couldn't bear what happened to Shuxuan, but because they were in charge of guarding the city gate today, if they were really allowed to go down, who knows what would happen?At that time, they will not be the unlucky ones.

"That's right, get out of the way quickly! I'm still waiting to enter the city! I managed to gather enough animal stones, and I can finally go in and have a good rest for a few days without worrying about it. Why did I run into you again here to mess around?" what?"

"The City Lord's Mansion has posted a notice a long time ago, saying that you can't enter the city without enough beast stones. It's useless for you to pester the guards here, so don't waste everyone's time!"

"Get out of here! I can finally enter the city today, and you are still wasting my time here, just looking for something to do, right?"

...

"Quiet! No noise is allowed in the black city, have you all forgotten? If you continue to make noise, I will disqualify you from entering the city!"

Seeing that the people in line started to make noise again, the guard turned cold and reprimanded everyone.

The guard's tone was very bad, but when everyone heard the guard's words, it was as if the silence button had been pressed. All the voices stopped immediately, and they stood back in the line honestly, not daring to say anything. sound.

"Okay! I'll just get out of the way!"

Seeing that the guard stopped the queue, Shuxuan stretched out a hand to stare at herself. Shuxuan immediately understood what he meant, but Shuxuan didn't have this so-called beast stone, so she felt embarrassed. Touched his nose and quit the team.

"If I had known earlier, I should have just left the team. I would have asked someone first. I have waited in line for so long, and now I still can't get in. What a waste of time."

Shuxuan retreated to the edge of the city wall, muttering inwardly.

Leaning against the city wall, Shuxuan watched the crowd line up to hand over the so-called beast stone to the guards, and then entered the city with a small wooden sign depicting the formation with an excited expression on her face.

Just collect a share of beast stones and let a person enter the city. Seeing that it is getting dark, the line of people and dragons outside the city has not decreased at all, but there is a trend of more and more people, but those who are at the bottom of the line His eyes were full of exhaustion, and his whole body exuded a breath of despair, but there was also a sliver of hope in this despair. She was looking at the direction of the city gate excitedly, and it was the first time that Shuxuan knew that human beings could still survive. Showing such complex emotions at the same time.

"I don't know what will happen at night outside the city? They are so scared! These people are cultivators after all! Why are they so timid? If I read correctly, there are many people in the queue At least it’s the Golden Core stage cultivation base? What is it? It can make them so scared?”

Shuxuan saw the reactions of these people outside the city, and couldn't help thinking strangely in her heart.

...

"The time has come, close the city gate!"

Just before Shuxuan finished thinking, the guard raised his head to look at the sky, said something expressionless to the people in line behind him, then turned and walked towards the city.

"My lord, please let me in! I've collected enough beast stones today, so I'll give it to you, please let me in."

"Yes! My lord, please have pity on me! I haven't rested for many days."

"My lord, please..."

But as soon as the guard turned around, some of the people who were still in line quickly ran out and rushed towards the guard, one after another kept praying that the guard would take away their beast stones and let them in. .And some people just glanced at them, then turned and walked towards the distance with ashen faces.
