Tianzhu Waterfall is the most bizarre place in Jiuzhongyuan.
It doesn't really have a dominant position.
Because here, everyone will lose their spiritual power and become ordinary people.
On the contrary, ordinary people will gain supreme spiritual power here and experience the power that cannot be experienced outside.
But it's not at all that ordinary people can come in. They may have died in the first layer of abyss, let alone come to Tianzhu Waterfall.
When the monks are trapped in one place, lose their spiritual power, and everyone is equal, what greets them is not the paradise of mutual respect and love, but the more cruel jungle of the weak.
The cultivators with stronger physique and higher force stood out and became the ones in charge of the power of Tianchui City. These five people were called the five elders.
"After dark, there will be a large number of vultures here, eating human flesh for a living. If they can't eat human flesh, they will go crazy and their strength will increase greatly, thus hurting more lives."
"So here's the default rule, people who have no shelter after dark are the food for the vultures, and unless you can survive their onslaught, no one will lend a helping hand. Because you're dead, it means that others can live."
Chen Ting was stunned.
"What if everyone hides in the house and doesn't get out? Don't those vultures have no food?"
Xu Jingxian: "This requires the use of the second rule, the strong are respected. Here, if your spiritual power is useless after disappearing, you can only be thrown out as food for vultures. Don't look at that person just now. To be a running guy, in fact, his martial arts are good, at least he can tie me."
Chen Ting: "Has no one ever left here?"
Xu Jingxian: "Of course there is, but only the people who leave know the chance of exiting, and they can't come back and tell the people here. Besides, not everyone wants to leave."
Looking at her meaningful expression, Chen Ting understood immediately.
Some people want to go out, some people don't want to leave.
Being able to become a person who is being held and offered here is no worse than the outside world.
It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Although the sea is vast, the competition is fiercer.
"Also, every three days there will be a competition in the city's tallest building, the Genting Tower. The winner may be selected as the elder's valet, and can also improve his status in the city, get fields, houses and money, which is best for those who are new to the world with empty hands. Participate. Is Daoyou Chen interested?"
Chen Ting asked subconsciously, "What if you lose?"
Xu Jingxian smiled and said, "If you lose, you will be thrown out to feed the vultures!"
Chen Ting: …
"If you don't want to participate, you have to participate. If you don't have the money circulating in Tianchui City, you can't guarantee food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and you will soon end up on the streets. Well, not everyone needs to participate. You can also take shortcuts. Become a master directly, do you want to know?"
Xu Jingxian's eyes twitched, seeing that neither of them supported her, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Why don't you make a sound, are you two dead!"
Chen Ting: ... I don't think what you're going to say is a good thing.
"Don't you have to ask?"
Xu Jingxian: "Then I have to say, if you can be favored by the elders, you naturally don't have to compete with any martial arts, fight against vultures, and you can become a master who does not worry about food and drink."
Chen Ting: "With the appearance of Fellow Daoist Xu, there is naturally no problem."
Xu Jingxian giggled: "To be honest, I have helped Daoyou Chen to find out. Among the five elders, there is Elder Hou, who loves men but not women's clothes. The guards around him are all sons with big eyebrows and big eyes. At first sight, we will be able to follow the chicken and the dog to the sky!"
Chen Ting: …
He said in his heart that the demon girl is really a demon girl, and it is not serious when he says it.
"What? You don't look down on those people?" Xu Jingxian said, "It's a coincidence that Daoyou Chen's old friend is now eating and drinking spicy food with the fifth elders. If you have a chance, please ask Daoyou Chen to help the slave family. Let her support us!"
Chen Ting wondered: "Who?"
Xu Jingxian: "Guan Xiashang."
Chen Ting looked surprised: "This, could it be that you misread it?"
Xu Jingxian laughed: "I didn't expect that the demon girl didn't sacrifice her color, but the saintess of the famous sects couldn't help it first?"
Chen Ting: "I didn't mean that..."
The two were still arguing, but Chang Ming was silent. When Xu Jingxian remembered it, he found that he had already slept with one hand on his forehead.
Chen Ting saw it too, and he stopped arguing.
Xu Jingxian said: "Fellow Daoist Chen, please, don't disturb our Ming Lang to rest."
Chen Ting was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you book two rooms?"
Xu Jingxian: "Yes, Ming Lang and I are in a room, and you are in a room alone."
Chen Ting: …
He looked at Xu Jingxian's take for granted, was speechless, and had to leave silently.
Xu Jingxian watched Chen Ting close the door and leave, and suddenly said, "I saw Yangzhencao."
Changming opened his eyes.
He was closing his eyes and resting, not falling asleep.
"Did you really find it?"
Xu Jingxian narrowed her eyes: "You really admitted that you were nonsense at that time?"
Chang Ming said nothing: "I just didn't expect to be found by you so easily."
"Who says it's easy, I'm just a coincidence!" Xu Jingxian was indignant.
At that time, on the Rainbow Bridge, several people were fighting, Guan Xiashang fled, and Xu Jingxian chased behind.
The nosy Chen Ting stopped her, causing her to follow the surname Chen into the huge waves.
As a result, Chen Ting did not know where to go, but she and Guan Xiachang both came to the third layer.
Here is a huge iron chessboard, with people as chess and luck and life as a bet.
The iron chessboard lives and dies, and if someone leaves, someone will come. Xu Jingxian and Guan Xiashang replace the person who played dead chess in front of him and become the two chess pieces at the starting point.
In order to change from dead chess to live chess, the two also worked together for a short time. Among them, the thrilling escape from death needless to say. They finally escaped and came to this heavenly city.
"I went to see the Genting competition a few days ago and saw Yangzhen Grass. It grows in the lake outside the Genting Tower. The center of the lake is full of exotic flowers and plants of Lu Jianmu, one of the five elders. No one dared to move it. Once On the night of the full moon, I saw a glowing flower floating on the lake, the shape was exactly the same as what you said."
Xu Jingxian was excited for a moment, and then she managed to calm down again.
"Unfortunately, those flowers and plants are all in Lu Jianmu's collection. He doesn't allow anyone to approach them at all, because Genting Tower is his other courtyard. His people are stationed upstairs all year round, and as long as anyone approaches the lake, they will be found immediately."
"Also, in the city, the five elders are powerful, and it is impossible for you to escape from the world. The silver on my body was obtained from one person. The silver here is used very quickly, and I will pay you back now. The room fee will be spent soon.”
She didn't say how she got the money from that person, and Changming didn't ask.
In Tianchui City, stealing is legal, as long as he can survive, Xu Jingxian is a magic cultivator, and he will not have those moral burdens.
"I'm a little puzzled." Chang Ming said, "Since Guan Xiashang can also become the new favorite of the fifth elders, it is not difficult to make the fifth elders fall in love with you by means of a fairy, and then gain a firm foothold. It is always easier than now for the elders to plan to raise real grass."
Xu Jingxian threw a wink: "It's not just to wait for you, I'm afraid that you will have no relatives after you come here!"
Chang Ming: "Then I am truly honored."
When he said this, he was lazy, but there was no flattered expression on his face.
The two knew very well that they didn't have such a deep friendship, and Xu Jingxian definitely didn't approach the Fifth Elder out of some kind of restraint.
Maybe their relationship is closer than Chen Ting or others, but it's all because of the secret of raising real grass and the non-conflicting goals.
Seeing that he didn't move like a mountain, Xu Jingxian pouted and didn't want to pretend.
"These five people, Lu Jianmu, who is suspected of raising real grass, is said to have never been close to women. He is obsessed with raising flowers and plants. Come here to grow flowers and grass? But his martial arts skills are the highest among the five, and the guards around him are also elderly people who are more than five years old.
"And Xu Fenglin, do you remember? It's that genius sword cultivator from the East China Sea School, he also came to Tianchui City, killed the original five elders, and became one of the elders himself, but this person is very arrogant, when I was outside I played against him, and he knew me."
"There is also a man surnamed Hou, who doesn't like women, but likes men."
Chang Ming: "What about the one Guan Xiashang is attached to?"
"The elder's surname is Liu, he's very strange. He doesn't see people during the day, but he likes to hide in the dark at night and watch the vultures chasing and devouring the exiled. Apart from that, I haven't found any more useful information. Don't act rashly. These five people are not easy to get along with, none of them are normal!"
After Xu Jingxian complained, she finally came out.
"Let's work together. You go to sign up for the Genting competition tomorrow. If you can win and stay with the elders as guards, we will have more opportunities to find out the temperaments and preferences of these five people, and then you can find a way to introduce me. You definitely want to Leave here as soon as possible? I heard that there are some unknown secrets under the Yunding Lake, which are related to entering and leaving Tianchui City. I also want to get the real grass and leave here. Our purpose is the same. The cooperation between two people is better than one person. It's good to rambling around."
Chang Ming: "I can't go."
Xu Jingxian: "Why?"
Chang Ming: "Someone wants to kill me, and my appearance is equivalent to throwing myself into a snare."
Xu Jingxian: "Who?"
Chang Ming: "Yun Weisi."
"Yun Weisi?"
Xu Jingxian repeated the name, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, "In the past, the head of Taoism, Jiuzhongyuan dominated Yun Weisi?"
Chang Ming: "Not bad."
Xu Jingxian's voice increased: "Why did you mess with him again?!"
Chang Ming: "He is Yunhai, and Yunhai is him."
Xu Jingxian was stunned, but after thinking about it, she didn't seem to be surprised.
This person Yun Hai appeared suddenly, and when he disappeared, he was inexplicable, and his abilities were even more unfathomable. If he was Yun Weisi, Xu Jingxian would not find it strange, but—
"How can you make enemies wherever you go? First our Sect Master, and then Yun Weisi, let's talk, apart from the two of them, how many enemies do you have!"
Chang Ming thought for a while and said uncertainly, "There should be two more."
The more apprentices you take, the more enemies you have. If you knew that you had taken two less in the past, now you can save yourself a little bit of worry.
Xu Jingxian: …
Changming: "But except for Yun Weisi, no one else is in Jiuzhongyuan."
Xu Jingxian said angrily: "I shouldn't have believed your nonsense at the beginning! I even entered here with you, but now I can't get out of it, seeing the real grass right in front of my eyes, I can't even see it! I knew you were useless like this! , why should I spend more time, it's better to cooperate with Chen Ting!"
Chang Ming didn't take her complaints to heart.
"According to what you said, Yangzhencao is outside the Genting Tower. Even if the guards are heavily guarded, it is not entirely without opportunities."
Xu Jingxian shook her head without thinking: "No! I know what you want to say. At night, although five people are guarding Yunding Lake, the vultures are all out. Only the selected sacrifices will be forced to be exposed outside. It's terrible, you can't imagine it, I didn't believe in evil one night, I wanted to wait for an opportunity to go to the lake, and I was almost targeted by vultures."
She had a lingering look on her face.
Being able to sit on the position of Peak Master Lingbo, Xu Jingxian had a lot of blood on her hands over the years, so she could show such an expression, showing that those vultures were not ordinary birds of prey.
"If you don't believe it, after dark, you can open a window gap in the house and peep from afar."
Xu Jingxian's tone was faint, almost eerily low.
"After dark, this Tianzhuocheng is another world."
knock knock knock.
As if in response to her words, there was a knock on the door.
Chang Ming coughed twice, but didn't move.
The knock on the door sounded again.
Xu Jingxian accepted his fate to open the door.
It was the guy who ran the hall just now, and there were two people behind him, all dressed in black.
Xu Jingxian recognized it at a glance, and this dress meant that they were the people next to the fifth elder.
"Young Master Changming."
The two of them didn't even look at Xu Jingxian, they looked directly at Chang Ming behind her.
"Our Elder Xu, I would like to invite you over as a guest."
Chang Ming: "Which Elder Xu?"
Xu Jingxian: "Xu Fenglin?"
The man in black: "It's Elder Xu Fenglin."
Xu Jingxian looked at Changming: "Do you know Xu Fenglin?"
Chang Ming: "I have never met, never met."
Xu Jingxian asked the man in black, "What is Xu Fenglin looking for with my Ming Lang?"
The two men in black didn't say a word, but they didn't leave either. There was a tendency for Changming to forcefully take them away if they didn't agree.
"I also ask Young Master Changming not to embarrass us."
Xu Jingxian raised her eyebrows and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity.
They were still thinking about how to approach the fifth elder, when Xu Fenglin sent someone over.
Changming doesn't think so.
He felt that the visitor was bad.
…
an hour ago.
Xu Fenglin got a report that someone wanted to see him.
Since he took the position of the elder of Tianchui City, the number of people who want to see him is like a crucian carp crossing the river, countless.
There are very few people who can really get Xu Fenglin to meet.
When he first heard this request, Xu Fenglin's expression did not fluctuate at all.
"not see."
He closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
"The guest said that his name is Yun Weisi."
Xu Fenglin suddenly opened his eyes.
"What did you say his name was?"
"Yun Weisi, he said he came from the other side of nothingness."
Xu Fenglin got up.
"Invite him in!"
Xu Fenglin looked down at his clothes, and even reached out to smooth it.
After confirming that there was nothing inappropriate, he stepped forward.
He was arrogant and arrogant by nature, and he had never paid such careful attention to Yi Rong when he was a teacher, and had the intention to please someone.
But the name Yun Weisi represented an accident.
He was afraid that this was an impostor and that he would be disappointed.
But after a while, when the other party came down to him under the guidance of the attendant, Xu Fenglin knew that this person was indeed Yun Weisi.
Such elegance is unmistakable.
"Yun Daozun."
"Xu Fenglin." Yun Weisi said, without any waves in his expression.
"Yes, do you remember me?"
Xu Fenglin was excited for a moment and quickly suppressed it.
Yun Weisi looked at him for a while.
"Twenty years ago, your master brought you to visit me."
Xu Fenglin felt that his heart became light and a little flying with his expression.
"It's me, Yun Daozun entered Jiuzhongyuan. After 20 years of separation, I haven't heard from him, and now my demeanor is still the same."
Yun Weisi: "Why did you come in too?"
Xu Fenglin: "I want to imitate Yun Daozun and train myself in the most dangerous places."
Yun Weisi: "It is not easy to get to Tianchui City, you are very good."
The corners of Xu Fenglin's mouth twitched.
"I thought that I would have to go through hardships to the other side of nothingness, but I never thought that I would be able to see you here in advance. It is rumored that in the Jiuzhongyuan, only Yun Daozun can come and go freely and shuttle between the Jiuzhongyuan. It turns out that this legend actually It's true, it's really extraordinary."
Yun Weisi: "Tianchui City is very special, and my spiritual power will not be used here."
Xu Fenglin: "But with your force, it is easy to become the ruler of Tianchui City. If Yun Daozun is willing to stay, I am willing to hand over the eldership."
Yun Weisi: "No, I'm here just to kill one person."
Xu Fenglin: "Who?"
Yun Weisi: "Nine directions are everlasting."
Xu Fenglin said without thinking, "As long as you want, I can do it myself!"
He didn't even think about why Yun Weisi wanted to kill the other party, and he made a promise when he opened his mouth.
