Not long after, Han Li and the three arrived at the scheduled landing site, a certain beach on the west side of Red Moon Island.
What surprised the three of them was that this area turned out to be quite barren and uninhabited, but it was nothing surprising when they thought of the fact that Hongyue Island had been closed for thousands of years.
As for some of the warning restrictions set up here, although they are still ingenious and concealed, for the three people who have cultivated in the real fairyland, they can easily avoid them.
Even so, the three of them did not dare to be careless at all, concealed their aura, and flew slowly towards their first target, a place called Tianshui City, according to the predetermined route.
At this moment, there were clouds in the sky, forming a thick layer, and the three of them were flying in the clouds, making them even more concealed.
While flying, Han Li looked down at the environment on the island.
The western area of Hongyue Island is flat, with few undulating peaks and mostly plains. The vegetation is lush in the eyes, and the continuous forest extends to the end of the field of vision.
I don't know if it's because of the soil quality, but the trees on the island are basically crimson.
The sea breeze blows, the leaves undulate, like a dancing sea of fire, it is very spectacular.
When the three of them finally flew out of the forest area, a plain appeared in front of them. A few tens of miles away from the forest, there was a large city. big characters.
Jiao Jiu, who was flying in front of the sheep, suddenly raised his hand and stopped his escape.
Seeing this, Han Li and Humian Jiaoshiliu stopped immediately.
"But what did you find?" Jiao Shiliu asked, looking around.
"Since we entered the island, it's rare to see a city. It's better to confirm the location first. After all, the map given by Lord Jiao San is not accurate, so don't go astray." Jiao Jiu replied in a deep voice.
"Alright." Jiao Shiliu nodded upon hearing this.
Han Li naturally had no objection to this. After all, he had been flying for a long time, so he really needed to confirm the direction.
The three fell silently from mid-air and walked towards the city.
As a result, when the three of them came to the city, they were slightly taken aback.
In this seemingly not-so-small city, not only the city gates are closed, but also the city is dead silent, without the slightest sound coming out, as if there is no one in it!
"Be careful, it may be an enemy's trap!" Jiao Jiu whispered to Han Li and the other two.
Han Li and Jiao Shiliu nodded slightly, and approached the city quietly. After confirming that there was no restriction outside the city, they turned over and came to the city wall.
Because of Jiao San's instruction, the three of them didn't directly release their consciousness to investigate the situation in the city, but they each took the initiative to use other means to search, and they didn't find anything unusual in the city.
"It looks like it's just an empty city, so it's a bit of a fuss." Jiao Jiu murmured.
"Strange, this city doesn't look old. There should be people living there not long ago, and it doesn't look like it has been attacked. How could it be empty?" Jiao Shiliu asked suspiciously.
Han Li frowned slightly, and was quite puzzled in his heart.
He used his spiritual power just now, and saw that many houses in the city were empty, and some shops were also closed, but there were traces of someone staying there, and it really seemed that they had just left not long ago.
The wind blew through the empty streets, whining, some doors and windows that were not closed shook, and there was a knocking sound, and some wild cats and dogs ran past from time to time, and there was a strange atmosphere everywhere.
"The things here have nothing to do with us. Now that our location has been confirmed, let's go, the task is important." Jiao Jiu said, obviously not wanting to pay attention to the things here.
Han Li and Jiao Shiliu nodded, and didn't care about these trivial matters.
The three immediately bypassed the city and continued to fly forward.
Next, the terrain in front became flatter, and after a while, a fertile grassland appeared in front of the three of them, and many cattle and sheep could be seen grazing in all directions, but no one was seen nearby.
Even, in some small villages and towns deep in the grassland, there was not a single person.
At the end of this grassland, another city appeared.
After the empty city incident just now and what they saw along the way, although the three of them did not intend to stay here, they still subconsciously looked down.
As a result, after seeing this, the three of them were shocked again.
"Hey, there is still no one in the city, why is it an empty city again." Jiao Shiliu said a little strangely.
"Don't worry about it, maybe something has happened in this area recently, so people have migrated away." Jiao Jiulue said after pondering for a while.
"If the next city is still like this, I think it is necessary to inform others." Han Li said.
"Let's look again. According to the map marks, there is a big city within two thousand miles ahead." Jiao Jiu nodded.
Sure enough, a moment later, a city appeared in front of the three of them.
This city is called Ancheng, and its area is quite large, with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Contrary to Han Li's and others' expectations, everything in this city is normal. There is a stream of people at the gate of the city, and there are many shops in the city, which is very lively. Besides ordinary people, there are many low-level monks. A stark contrast.
"Hey, there are quite a lot of people in this city. Could it be that people from the previous cities have all come here?" Jiao Shiliu seemed to be a little relieved, and said in a teasing tone.
Han Li frowned slightly. This Ancheng is not far from the empty city before. How could the situation in the city be so completely different.
"Two fellow daoists, we still have plenty of time. The incident in the empty city here is quite weird. It is said that there must be a demon when something goes wrong. It is better to investigate a little bit. By the way, we can also collect some information about Hongyue Island from this city. "Han Li pondered for a while, and suggested so.
"Jiao Shiwu's words are reasonable, it's better to be more cautious." Jiao Shiliu nodded his head as he looked at Han Li.
"Since both of you think so, let's do some research in this city, but be careful." Jiao Jiu said, pointing to a square in the center of the city below.
A blood-red statue stood in the center of the square, emitting bursts of faint blood-red light, covering a radius of hundreds of feet.
The people nearby, whether they are mortals or monks, all respected the red statue very much. Passing by here, they all bowed to salute. However, the monks in the city seem to have low cultivation levels, and the highest is no more than the alchemy period.
Han Li naturally noticed that statue earlier, it was just an ordinary statue where the Earth Immortal collected the power of faith.
The main character of Red Moon Island, Shuhong, is an Earth Immortal. It is not surprising that there are such statues everywhere.
However, according to the information collected by the Impermanence League, Gong Shuhong's cultivation skills are quite special, and he seems to be able to perceive the situation in various places through these statues. Second-rate.
Han Li has always been skeptical about this statement.
Recently, he has consulted a lot of information about this kind of statues. These ordinary statues are just special containers for collecting the power of faith.
But since the people of the Wuchang League have spoken first, he will naturally not try the law for no reason.
The three of them landed in a hidden place outside the city, activated the restraints in their masks to transform their appearances, and turned into the appearance of three merchants, and entered Ancheng amidst the crowds.
Although covered by masks, the three of them still tried their best to restrain their breath.
Looking at the bustling surroundings, Han Li felt a little emotional in his heart, and couldn't help but recall the time when he and Liu Le'er walked together in the mortal world in the spirit world.
Although he hadn't recovered his consciousness at that time, these bits and pieces of memories remained.
In such a cruel environment in the world of cultivating immortals, it is especially rare that this little girl can really take care of him as if he is an older brother. He also seems to have recovered some shadows of the little girl whose memory has been blurred from the other party.
Now, this woman was taken away by the so-called tribe, and it is not known where she went.
While thinking about it, Jiao Shiliu's voice came over:
"There is a restaurant in front, why not go there and have a look."
Han Li came back to his senses, and looked in the direction the other party said. It was a three-storey restaurant, and the business seemed to be quite good.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, a shop waiter who looked very clever came up to him.
"Arrange us a quiet private room." Before Xiaoer could speak, Jiao Shiliu said.
"Okay! The three of you are objective, please come with the younger one." Xiaoer nodded repeatedly, and led the three of them to an elegantly furnished single room on the second floor.
"Go warm up two pots of wine, and stir fry a few of your restaurant's best appetizers. Speed up, take the money, and don't have to look for the extra money." After Jiao Shiliu sat down, he took it out of his pocket with familiarity. Throwing a silver ingot to Xiao Er, said.
Hearing this, Han Li glanced at Jiao Shiliu. From his appearance, it seemed that he often came and went to this common restaurant.
At this time, Jiao Jiu also took another look at Jiao Shiliu.
The shop waiter took the money, immediately agreed with a smile on his face, and walked out quickly.
"Hehe, I made the two friends laugh. Although I have been bigu for many years, I have always been reluctant to let go of these worldly food and drink." Jiao Shiliu noticed the strange eyes of Han Li and the two, and said a little embarrassedly.
"Fellow Daoist said, everyone has their own preferences. Speaking of which, I also have some memories of these delicacies in the world. I will enjoy them today and satisfy my appetite." Jiao Jiu laughed.
The shop waiter quickly walked in with a food plate, which was filled with various wine and vegetables.
The craftsmanship of this restaurant is obviously good, the wine is mellow and the dishes are fragrant, people can't help but twitch their index fingers.
Jiao Shiliu filled the wine glasses for the three of them, and instead of being polite to Han Li and the others, he drank two glasses in a row on his own, with a hint of satisfaction on his face.
Seeing this scene, Han Li smiled slightly, and picked up the wine glass and took a sip from his mouth.
"The three guest officials are slow to use, and the younger one will leave first." The waiter said, turning around and leaving.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Er." Jiao Jiu suddenly called out to stop the other party.
"Guest officer, do you have any other orders?" The waiter paused and turned around.
"The three of us are merchants from the south. A few days ago we passed through Fenghai City and Molin City. There was no one there. I don't know if you people in Ancheng know about this?" Jiao Jiu asked with a smile.
"Oh, you said those two cities! They were called to make a pilgrimage to Hongyue City not long ago, so naturally the building was empty." The waiter said with a smile.
