Chonghua can now travel thousands of miles a day, but the eastern region is vast, so it has been flying for more than ten days. If you were tired during this period, some Yunxun brought Xu Ziqing and Chonghua with the universe in his sleeves, and hurried forward.
It took a total of half a month before reaching the border of the Western Regions.
There is also a city here, which is the border town. The name of the city was given by the earlier Emperor Dayan, and it also meant that the dynasty valued the border and the generals of the country.
Outside the city is surrounded by a city wall, hundreds of feet high, and there are heavy guards, and many checkpoints. From a distance, it is like a giant beast entrenched in the wilderness, with endless wildness and aggressiveness.
There are countless powerful auras in the city, either awe-inspiring or evil, and a lot more malicious, which is hard to describe.
Because this place is a border fortress of the empire, it is guarded by heavy soldiers, and it has been continuously maintained year after year, so there are also rules. But all monks who come here, regardless of their cultivation level, must fall to the ground and cannot fly in by themselves.
Yun Yu and Xu Ziqing were the disciples of the Wuling Immortal Gate, the giants of the Eastern Region, and they could not violate this rule, just as they did in Ruyi Xianzhuang, they fell down not far from the city.
Chonghua pawed the ground and turned into a golden light, plunged into a token in Xu Ziqing's hand.
Many monks have beast pets to protect themselves, and beast pets are often too large to be placed. Therefore, some people have made this token so that beast pets can stay in it on weekdays to facilitate the monks.
This brand is called "Royal Beast Brand", and it is divided into upper, middle and lower grades because of the different ranks of beast pets.
Xu Ziqing almost lost Chonghua because he went back to the Ruyi Xianzhuang. Later, he learned that there was this thing, so he immediately exchanged it for it. And the clever setting in the token will not make the animal pet sad.
However, Chonghua had just broken through now, it was a Tier 1 monster, and it was only a low-level token.
After putting away the Royal Beast card, Xu Ziqing felt relieved.
Yun Liyuan was waiting by the side, and when he saw him packing up, he said, "Let's go."
Xu Ziqing turned his head and smiled, then followed.
After a short walk, the two reached the gate of the city.
There were soldiers guarding the left and right, all dressed in military uniforms, and there were both ordinary people and monks.
Even though Yun Li said that he had a tempered aura, these soldiers were all well-informed. When guarding the city gate, I didn't know how many strong and masters he had seen. Naturally, he would not ignore the dangerous aura, but his expression changed slightly.
So there was a tall soldier coming over, the cultivation base was between the eighth and nineth layers of Qi refining, and the uniform level was higher than the others. He was probably a small boss. With a smile on his face: "Two seniors are coming to the city?"
Xu Ziqing knew that the brother was not good at words, so he relieved his worries, and smiled back: "It's just for entering the city."
The little boss said: "Dayan stipulates that anyone who enters the border town of this town, monks and the like need to turn in a low-grade spirit stone, two..."
Not surprisingly, Xu Ziqing touched his sleeve. In fact, he took out two low-grade spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to the little boss: "Since you are here, naturally you must follow the rules here, here, take it. ."
Seeing that Xu Ziqing was very good at talking, the little boss was relieved, and said, "The capital for entering the city has been paid, and the two seniors please come to the city soon."
Xu Ziqing smiled, pulled Yun Li's sleeves, and went in with him.
After no one stopped, the two went straight to the inner city.
You can see from a glance that there are many soldiers and generals in armors in the city, there are also many monks and ordinary mortals, the flow of people is complicated, and there are all kinds of sentient beings.
Xu Ziqing was slightly surprised when she swept through her spiritual sense.
I felt it from afar, thinking that I was wrong, but when I came in, I realized that it was so.
In this city, there are not only immortal monks, but also many demon ways and demon cultivators, and although their faces are light, they do not have the appearance of deep hatred. They actually seem to be able to get along with each other, but it is a bit surprising.
After Ruyi Xianzhuang, Xu Ziqing discovered what kind of state of mind the monk of the White Evil Dao was. He thought it must be incompatible. Unexpectedly, there are so many differences in this town.
For a while, his perception is also quite complicated.
Yun Yu was accustomed to it, and said: "The Dayan Empire does not adhere to righteousness and evil. Although there are battles between the immortals and demons in the Western Regions, the latter are more restrictive than the other three regions."
This is the imperial power, which binds both. When the imperial power is respected, the dispute over ethics will be relatively weak.
Xu Ziqing nodded secretly, somewhat understanding.
Many ordinary people have contacts with monks, and monks have a higher status, but they are less arrogant than what Xu Ziqing had seen before. Instead, most of them have a bit of hostility between the eyebrows, and they are often bloody when they think about it. The ordinary people are mostly warriors, most of them are majestic, and the muscles under the clothes are full of explosive power.
If it is not a monk, almost all the people are armed. It can be seen that this place advocates military force more than many places.
He looked at the city again. The streets were wide and connected in all directions. There were many shops, restaurants, inns, and many casinos, brothels and other places. It really seemed prosperous, but it was also a little bit more red.
However, the two of them did not come to play in the border town of this town, so they did not delay on the street. Yun Li seemed to be quite familiar with this place, and soon led Xu Ziqing across a road to a certain place.
There are a million troops in the border town, stationed in the border area, inside the outer wall, and outside the inner wall.
At the inner city gate, the guarding is a hundred times stricter than the outer gate, and the gate has two high towers, the left enters the ordinary people, the right enters the monks, and the rules are very strict.
Yun Li took Xu Ziqing and walked directly to the right.
In front of the gate of the right city, there is a table of eight immortals, behind which sits a cultivator of immortality, who is not bad-tempered, and is a young cultivator with a smile on his face. He carried a thin pen in his hand, piled up the roster in front of him, and beside him was a jade slip, he was registering at the front.
The line in front of the city gate was not short, and Yun Li didn't jump in, just like this, waiting quietly.
Xu Ziqing had never experienced this kind of military affairs before, and felt quite new in his heart. Seeing his brother like this, he became more and more interesting.
The young monk did not move slowly, and recorded quickly without delay.
In a short while, the front team was gradually over, and it was their turn for the two brothers and sisters.
The young monk raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and asked, "Are the two seniors joining the army or placing orders?"
Xu Ziqing knew what it meant to join the army, but he didn't know what a "pending order" was, so he turned his head to look at the senior.
Yun Li simply said: "Pending orders."
The young monk nodded, and immediately asked, "Does senior have old orders?"
Yun Yu said again: "I have." The implication is that the other person is gone.
The young monk had also hosted many monks, and didn’t realize that Yun’s attitude was a hindrance. He just opened the booklet and “swiped” the record: “I asked this senior in Tsing Yi to name his name and let me open one first. New order."
Xu Ziqing understood this time, and said with a smile: "My name is Xu Ziqing, and I am a monk from the Wuling Immortal Gate. This is my senior, called Yun Li."
The young monk quickly took note of it, and then shook a magic weapon in front of the two of them. His expression was not much surprised. Only after re-reading the old slip in the jade slip, did he reveal a different expression: "It turns out. Senior Yun has already formed a pill and has become a real person. He is really talented, and he truly deserves to be a disciple of a large sect!"
After a compliment, he took out two tokens, divided them among the two, and said: "Since Yun Zhen is a familiar person, the juniors won't be shivering, and the two seniors don't care."
Xu Ziqing took the token and went into the inner city with the senior, without blocking the path of latecomers.
After entering, he took out the token and observed it carefully.
The word "Pending Order" was written on this token, and Xu Ziqing's name and cultivation level were also written below, which was very brief. But there is another pattern on the back of the token, which is a strange beast with a hideous head, which looks quite strange.
Yun Yu walked in front of him, and said: "This is the shape of a wild beast."
He also knew that Xu Ziqing had many doubts, so he explained many corresponding things to him one by one.
The so-called reckless beast is not a genus of monster beasts and spirit beasts, but another peculiar race that feeds on all the living things in the world. It is very fierce and irrational. It has only food.
In the early years when this kind of beast first appeared, the monks in the world originally classified it as a monster beast, but only later discovered that the growth of the beast is very different from the monster beast, and the level is also different, so it cannot be placed in the same category.
Mang beasts are divided into five categories, namely unicorn beast, double-horned beast, triangle beast, four-horned beast and five-horned beast.
The more horns on the top of its head, the stronger the strength and the greater the ability.
Among them, the unicorn beast is the most. Although fierce, it can be killed by the warriors of the common world; the double-horned beast is comparable to the Qi-refining monk; the triangular beast is between the foundation and the Huayuan, and the four-horned beast is comparable to the golden core. The five-pointed ones are comparable to Yuan Ying.
It stands to reason that this kind of power is only equivalent to the monk beast of the Yuanying monk. The empire should not have sent a town general to guard the border, but the beast multiplies extremely fast, even every three years there is a wave of beasts. , It made the empire have to pay attention.
What's more frightening is that the growth period of the mang beast is also very short. A female beast can give birth to seven to twelve cubs per child, and the more it eats, the faster it grows.
Each cub is born with a single horn, matures in three years, and double horns in ten years. Depending on the qualifications, it will give birth to a triangle in 20 to 50 years, but there will be four horns in a hundred years!
Only the five-horned beasts are rare, and they cannot be accumulated by years, but for that, the chance of the five-corned beasts appearing is still much higher than the chance of the ancestors of the primordial infant among the same number of monks.
How can such an ethnic group not let people be vigilant
It is conceivable that if the border falls and the beast on the Mang Beast Plain breaks into the empire, it will be like a locust disaster in the rice field, devouring the entire empire's tens of thousands of people!
Therefore, in this great country of comprehension, the laymen are martial arts. Although invincible, they still have to fight for the country, protect their wives and children, and worship "immortals".
On the other hand, the monks lived together with ordinary people, based on the family, attached layer by layer, entered the court as officials, received rewards, and shared luck. The disciples of the clan must participate in the military experience during the corresponding period. This is not only beneficial to their own practice, but the higher their status in the military, the higher the status of the clan, the more resources they can obtain.
But these people who joined the army are not the only ones from these families.
