The morning of the fifth day of the first month of the Jiuyuan calendar.
In the desert, one after another, there are teams going forward along the sandy road. The driving force behind their long journey is the huge oasis that belongs to Wucheng and can already be seen clearly.
Although it is winter now, Wucheng is located in the desert, and the temperature during the day is also very high. Creatures who are used to the nearby climate do not suffer from it. In addition, Wucheng has special guide towers in the desert for the convenience of visitors. Frequent or not, very few people get lost in the desert.
As time drew closer to the original agreed day day by day, Wucheng became very lively again. There are still ten days before the agreed date, and more than 80% of the guests who should come have already arrived.
However, the flow of people coming to Wucheng did not stop there, on the contrary, it has more and more momentum, because it is said that the situation of this Wucheng gathering is quite special. Forces also participated in this meeting.
Therefore, apart from the troops sent by Ninetowns, other large and small forces, including some middle and lower cities, took the opportunity to send envoys or traveling merchants, hoping to learn more, and it is best to trade some rare treasures and high-level bones. go back.
"That's why there are so many people in Wucheng?" A young man who just rushed to the gate of Wucheng, holding a fat baby with a pouting mouth, looked at the long line and the sky that was about to get dark. Headache.
"Of course it's more than that. After all, the meeting time is too urgent. Many tribal forces in the distance don't know the news, and some of them can't catch up if they know it. Otherwise, there will be at least two or three times more people." Queuing in front The people in front of them were probably bored of waiting, so they chatted with the young people behind them. Seeing that the milk doll is cute, he even teased him a few words.
Jie! Don't bother me, Mr. Bird! I don't know who the milk doll is angry with, her small mouth is bulging, and she doesn't care whoever teases her.
"Oh, besides the party, what other reason did you have to run to Wucheng together?" The young man took his hair out of the doll's mouth and wiped the saliva left on it.
Another tall man had a smaller baby hanging on his chest. He looked at the young man with gentle eyes, and he and the young man looked like a family.
The few people in front looked at the group of young people and found that there were a lot of children. In addition to the two being carried, there were also two who looked less than ten years old.
Maybe this pedestrian is too intimidating? The people who lined up were not wary of them, and were more enthusiastic, willing to share some gossip with them.
The few people in front looked around, and one of them, a man in his early thirties approached the young man with a mysterious expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "Haven't you heard? There is an internal strife in Wucheng right now, and the twelve high priests are in full swing. The whole world is recruiting manpower, and those who are eager for middle-level and high-level exercises and want to learn more advanced witchcraft and bone refining are also gathering in Wucheng. To tell you the truth, brothers, we are here for this winter. For example, I have stayed at the sixth-level peak for too long, but if I continue to stay in my middle city, I will not get higher-level exercises, so I can only come here to try my luck."
The young man's mouth turned round, "I see."
"In addition, the tribes around Wucheng are the ones who come to Wucheng the most." Another person couldn't help telling the news he knew, "These tribes are all attached to Wucheng, and any change in Wucheng may affect people. They have brought unimaginable influence. Ever since the news that the first priest Wu Xiang lost his ability to prophesy and the Wu City was split, they have been worried for a long time. At this gathering, they heard that the Nine Great Upper City and the man with horns had been beaten away. Jiuyuan, the new force of Wucheng, is here. What are these powerful people doing in Wucheng? Isn’t it for re-dividing the territory? They have come, and the division of Wucheng’s new forces will probably be finalized. Such an important matter, these attached to The nearby tribes living in Wucheng definitely don’t want to miss it, everyone wants to get the news early so that they can make decisions that are beneficial to their own tribe.”
"Yeah, no wonder there are so many people." The young man chatted with the people in front of him for a while, and got a lot of latest information about Wucheng.
The first news is that Wucheng is overcrowded, but there are still many humans and non-humans queuing up to enter the city every day.
The second article, the guards of Wucheng were so busy that the twelve priests were divided into three camps, and the guards also had their own targets of loyalty, so that they often failed to issue orders, or were perfunctory, or simply rejected. The refusal to implement it caused chaos in the city.
The third, because there is no good overall arrangement, and there is no qualification to restrict entry, but there are more guests than ever before. Now all the places for receiving guests in Wucheng City are full, and many newcomers are not allowed to enter. Without some open space to set up a tent or build a house with the power of divine blood, the busiest market is full of all kinds of creatures.
Fourth, the situation is so bad that the priests of the three camps are still fighting among themselves, wooing this and that every day, and many times they even have to temporarily close the city gate because of who will take away the guests at the gate of the city.
After hearing the situation in Wucheng, Yuan Zhan was also speechless. Relying on the fact that the priest of his family has put up the soundproof cover, he has no scruples in speaking: "Wu Xiang lost his prophecy ability, and Fei Shan also lost his divine blood ability? How could he allow Wu City to be in such a mess?"
The young man, that is, Yan Motan, "It should be the result of the intervention of all parties. Wucheng has always been aloof, and there must be many people who are dissatisfied in their hearts. Any force that is interested in unifying the Eastern Continent, Wucheng is a big opportunity for them." Obstacles must be removed, at least knocked from the high clouds."
"You mean... Feishan and Wuxiang probably deliberately let Wucheng fall into this situation?" Yuan Zhan heard the meaning behind his priest.
Yan Mo nodded lightly, "Feishan alone will definitely not be able to suppress the entire Wucheng, plus the Zerg-human race and Tucheng Huocheng are mixed together in front, it must not add chaos to Wucheng, even if Feishan stands out, it may not be possible He has the power to turn the tide, not to mention that he still has a witch to protect, and that person is not serious about power. In Feishan's heart, Lord Wuxiang must surpass the entire Wucheng. In addition, I think those two must have seen that the general trend of the world is about to change However, it is impossible for Wucheng to continue to maintain a high position, instead of sitting on the top and continuing to be a target, they might as well step back and maintain their strength."
"If it were me, I would do the same." La Moling said beside him.
"No matter how chaotic Wucheng is, we are here, there will always be a place for us to live?" Er Meng interjected.
"No, let's not reveal our identities for the time being. There are still ten days until the agreed date, do you want to be watched for the next ten days?" Yan Mo was always patient with Jiufeng kid, and his hair was pulled again, but only lightly Open his little paw.
Jiufeng bit Yan Mo's neck. Bad silent, let you leave me!
Yuan Zhan's eyelids twitched, and he reached out to bring Jiu Feng over.
Jiu Feng was unwilling, and hugged Yan Mo's neck and refused to let go.
Yan Mo turned around to protect Jiu Feng, and winked at Yuan Zhan: This little ancestor was the one who coaxed him well, so don't tease him. Wait until Wu Guo is woken up, look, let's stop doing other things and focus on coaxing the children!
Who said I want to tease him, I want to beat him! Yuan Zhan looked down at his elder son who was sleeping soundly in his pocket, feeling helpless. His father, our family has too many children, and they can still make a fuss, can you stuff one or two back
Everyone shook their heads together at this moment.
Yan Mo laughed, "I brought you here because I want you to have a good look at the outside world and have fun by the way. With the name of Jiu Yuan, although it is a bit convenient, it will also cause a lot of trouble. What do you think? If you want to play well, you can't reveal your identity for the time being."
"That's why you changed our appearance on the road? I thought..." Er Meng didn't finish his sentence, but the direction of his eyes already showed what he wanted to express.
The iconic white horns on the heads of Sumen and Sangye are gone, and they now seem to be very ordinary adults and children without horns.
Sumen and Sangye also thought that Yan Mo covered their white horns first to prevent them from being hated, and then changed everyone's appearance a little bit, even the wings on Jiufeng's back disappeared. In order to take care of the mood of the two of them. But the fact is that their Lord Priest wanted everyone to change their identities so that they could play in Wu City from the very beginning
Yan Mo naturally saw what Er Meng meant, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not because I'm afraid that others will deal with Su Men and Sang Ye. Since I dare to accept Su Men as my disciples, I'm not afraid of anyone's accusations. With me and Zhan Zai, we I don't believe that anyone can hurt them. But if we want to play, the white horns of Sumen and Sangye are too conspicuous. If we don't cover up this point, others can guess our origin by looking at them. .”
We haven't changed much, but people who are not familiar with them will definitely not recognize them at first glance.
Kid Jiufeng's anger has also become a little less. It turned out that silently made my wings disappear, not to punish me for pecking off several hairs of his hair as soon as I found him, but to make me play better
"Okay, I won't be angry anymore, but you have to promise me that this little Mo will be given to me to hatch." The little baby's little feet rubbed against Yan Mo's bulging stomach, a little envious, and he also wanted to get into Mo Mo's belly. It must be fun to be born by him again in my womb.
Yan Mo calmly said again: "If he was born as an egg." Just now Wu Guo and Jiu Feng had a fight over Dudu's ownership, which ended with Wu Guo being defeated and falling asleep from exhaustion.
Jiu Feng nodded vigorously, "It must be an egg! I was born an egg, and your son must be too!"
Others heard: Does it matter
Wei Yanmo understood what Jiu Feng meant, and Jiu Feng obviously regarded him as one of his clan.
After that, Jiuyuan and his party waited outside the city for a whole night.
After dark, Yan Mo and Jiu Feng, who turned into a little bird, disappeared for a while. Yuan Zhan did not follow in order to protect the others. Wu Guo woke up and wanted to challenge Jiu Feng again, but was slapped on the butt by Yuan Zhan Come on, I'm out of breath.
When Yan Mo came back, Yuan Zhan's father immediately stuffed Wu Guo to Jiu Feng, and then dragged Mo's father into the ground.
A group of apprentices were left behind to watch the two little dolls get tangled together, and witnessed Wu Guo's whole struggle process of turning over, crawling, and then grabbing the little bird and biting the nose.
Jiu Fengguang sat on the animal skin cushion with his buttocks on his back, giggling. Wu Guo grabbed his little bird, and he grabbed Wu Guo, and compared, "Well, younger than me."
Wu Guo was furious: "Wow!" It's kind of waiting for me to grow up to fight again!
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the gate of the city was opened again, and Jiu Yuan and his party entered Wucheng smoothly. However, they did not use the name of Jiuyuan, but the name of Zhongcheng Heitucheng, a subordinate of Tucheng, for the same reason as the group of fighters who came to defect to them in front of them, they came for higher-level exercises.
As for the proof... Yuan Zhan showed the ability of about seven-level soil control fighters. Yan Mo took out bone tools to show that he was a bone tooler, and introduced others who said they were all their disciples and family members. After seeing the evidence, Wucheng soldiers didn't ask any more questions, charged them the entrance fee, gave them a sign, and waved them in.
Yan Mo hugged Jiufeng, who refused to walk by himself, and stopped at the crossroads. He put up the soundproof cover, and shared the news he found in the city at night: "Wucheng is now divided according to the priests. There are three major forces. One It is the witch elephant and Feishan that we all know; one is the second cursed witch, Kuipa, who appeared again after he died; Support, actually directly seized the seat of the original worm witch among the twelve priests, and is now also called the worm witch. And the brand in my hand is said to belong to the worm witch, we can use this brand to stay in the worm witch site, and You can buy goods from the Insects at a relatively low price. Of course, the Insect Witch is not only backed by the Insects, but also a seventh priest, Miwu, who is said to be good at mind control."
"Master, did that Kuipa also use Changyanguo?" Su Men was deeply impressed by Changyanguo because he was framed last time.
Yan Mo smiled, "It's very possible. Your leader is very sure that Quipa has been killed by him, and there is no dust left, so this Kuipa must be fake. But since he dared to play Quipa, apart from being sure of his The face will not be seen by others, and his curse ability should not be weak."
"Master, you concealed your identity this time, do you also want to investigate this Kuipa secretly?" Ye Xing was curious.
"No, a fake Kuipa is not worth my trouble. If you want to know whether he is pretending, just grab him and peel him off. My purpose this time is to let you have a good time. Now according to our Jiuyuan It’s time for the New Year, so of course you have to be happy during the New Year.” Yan Mo winked at his disciples.
The disciples laughed together, and they immediately relaxed a lot.
Yan Mo was very satisfied with the effect, although he hoped that Wu Chen and the others would be more knowledgeable, but if the tension is too tight, it may be counterproductive, and it is necessary to relax at the right time.
"Wait, if we pass by, will we become a worm witch?" Wu Chen is someone who thinks too much at any time.
"Yes." Yan Mo patted Wu Chen's shoulder appreciatively, and said: "These city guards are very cunning, they gave you a sign but didn't explain it to you. When we use this sign, we will be branded as a bug witch. We want to change in the future, unless the worm witch looks down on us, it will never be easy."
"Then what should we do? Change to another brand, or don't use it at all?"
"Yes, why not? Those who use this brand are from Heitucheng, not from Jiuyuan." Yan Mo smiled.
All the disciples suddenly realized, "That's right!"
On the same day, Jiuyuan and his group pretended to be from Heitucheng and lived in Chongwu's territory.
But they came a bit late, and they didn't have any special status or abilities, so they were only allocated an open space.
The Jiuyuan people said that this was not a problem at all, and they quickly set up a tent on the designated open space. In fact, Yuanzhan had already built a simple version of the underground palace under the tent. It was cool during the day and warm at night, without the slightest It's not too stuffy, and it's much more comfortable than the houses assigned by some big shots.
Yan Mo walked out of the tent, distributed Yuanjing coins to the apprentices one by one, and let them go to the market to play by themselves. Wucheng is in chaos now, but as long as he is careful and doesn't get involved in the battle of high-level fighters, basically nothing will happen. Besides, he has prepared a lot of medicine for his disciples, which is absolutely useless for self-defense.
"Go, take a look, ask questions if you don't understand, and use a flare gun if you are in a hurry." The so-called flare gun is a bone tool that can send a signal flare, inspired by the voting device that everyone used when watching bone tool competitions in the Western Continent.
Yan Mo dismantled the voting device, modified it a little, and changed it into a flare gun that can emit signal flares.
Jiu Feng hugged Yan Mo's leg and refused to leave, Yan Mo had no choice but to keep him.
When all the apprentices left together, Yan Mo dragged the Jiufeng pendant, turned around, stretched out his hand to hold the palm of the tall man, and slightly curled his lips: "Honey, how about setting up a stall with me?"
Yuan Zhan seemed to have no idea that Yan Mo would send all the others away, leaving only the two of them—the two young ones can be ignored!
Wu Guo: Don't always try to coax me to sleep! I'm going to get up and walk!
Yuan Zhan, who only had his own priest in his eyes: "Honey? Set up a stall?"
"Well, it's just the two of us... er, five, to set up a stall to earn some pocket money." Yan Mo has been thinking of making up for him, and even though it was compensation at night, how can there be only sex between lovers? The usual interaction is also very important!
Yuan Zhan slowly, slowly broke into a smile, "Okay."
While Yan Mo's family happily went to the market to set up a stall, many people in Wucheng also mentioned them.
Wu Xiang looked out of the window and asked leisurely, "Has the leader Zhan and Mo Wu from Jiuyuan come?"
Fei Shan squeezed a nut, "I haven't heard the news yet."
Wu Xiang narrowed his eyes, "But why do I already feel that they have come to the city?"
"Oh? I'll have someone check it out."
"No. If they didn't notify us when they came, then they must have a reason for not notifying us. It's better not to disturb them."
Quipa walked up and down the room, biting his thumbnail nervously, and asked for the tenth time today: "Have you found the Jiuyuan people yet?"
"No." The warrior standing in the shadows replied.
"Has the Ding Yue man come?"
"Already on the way, the scouts have found them."
Kuipa stopped abruptly, "How far is the Dingyue man from Wucheng?"
"It's a day's journey at most."
"Have someone arrange it, I'm going to see the Dingyue people in advance!"
Chongwu was listening to his subordinates report on the increase of his own personnel, and he nodded in satisfaction when he heard that another twenty seventh-level fighters had been added.
"Have you received any news from Jiuyuan people?"
"No, but we heard that they have already set off from Jiuyuan, and they should be on the way at this time."
"Hmph, these Jiuyuan people have a lot of tricks, and they can even attract the Zerg people to take the initiative to find them."
"So this time they come over, should we help them?"
"Look at their sincerity. If they want us to help them, they will have to pay a considerable price." Chong Wu sneered, "The Jiuyuan people are definitely ambitious, but just after defeating the horned man, they couldn't wait to ask to go to the city again." For a party, they will definitely ask for a re-division of the territory when they come this time, but they just don’t know how much they want to be satisfied.”
"Isn't Tucheng's territory enough for them to eat? How many people are there?"
"Look, they definitely want more than Tucheng. As for the manpower, they just need to find more slaves, and they will naturally become huge in a few decades."
"I think the ambition of Dingyue people may be a little more terrifying than Jiuyuan." A middle-aged man wearing a priest's robe said that he had just walked in.
All the people in the room looked at him, and Chong Wu gave him a simple courtesy, "Master Mi Wu, have you got any news from the Ding Yue tribe?"
"Well, that's why I came here. That Ding Yue is amazing!"
