Chapter 5584 Desert City
"Is this Xiaowu City?" Looking at the empty surroundings, Huo Haier looked surprised: "Didn't it mean that although the city is not there, there are still city walls? What about the city wall? Why didn't you see anything?"
There is nothing else around this except the endless desert!
There is neither the ancient land that Ji Ci and the others mentioned, nor the so-called city walls.
Ji Ci, Ji Feng and the others' reaction to Huo Haier was not surprising at all.
After a smile, Ji Feng said, "Senior, come with me."
Huo Haier was puzzled, but he still followed Ji Feng forward.
After about a few miles away, Ji Feng pointed to a low mud bun in front of him and said, "This is the place where Xiaowu City enters, which is where the gate of Xiaowu City is located."
"Is this where Xiaowu City is?"
Huo Haier was even more surprised, and even Bai Chen was puzzled, because Ji Feng pointed to a stone pillar that was only a few meters high, standing there alone, and it didn't look like a pillar of the city gate.
"This pillar seems very low, but in fact it is more than ten feet high! But most of it is buried in the desert, and only these are exposed." Ji Ci explained.
"So that's it." Bai Chen nodded and asked, "Then how do we get into the city?"
"Walking along here, there will be a place where space is twisted, from where we can teleport into Xiaowu City. Some places in Xiaowu City that are teleported into there still maintain the original appearance of the city... Of course, over the years, countless people have entered, and not only do they have no magic weapons and mysterious soldiers, but they even have no danger. Now most of the people who go there are ordinary people."
Ji Ci said as she took Bai Chen and the others to a place where the space was twisted, and then said, "It's this."
Bai Chen looked up when he heard this and saw that the vortex was hanging high, emitting a faint spatial power inside.
After feeling it for a moment, he spoke, "The breath of desert, the breath of sea water... Well, the spatial power formed after the convergence of water and soil!"
"Senior Bai Chen is indeed amazing. You can see how this space vortex was formed at a glance." Ji Feng praised Bai Chen with his thumb.
Ji Ci said from the side: "That's natural, you Senior Bai Chen are a powerful force in space!"
Bai Chen said speechlessly: "Anyone who knows a little bit of common sense in space can see what's going on. Brother Ji Ci, you don't need to praise me like this."
"There are many people who can see that the two forces converge to form a space vortex, but there are really not many people who can feel the power of desert and sea water! Senior Bai Chen is the first person I have met." Ji Feng said.
Ji Ci also echoed and said, "We should be humble and proud, and we should be proud too! There are indeed not many people who can feel these two auras! You must know that Xiaowu City was flooded by sea and swallowed by the desert, which is a whole era! The two auras have long faded, and it is difficult to see if it weren't for the perception of the five senses that are different from ordinary people and those who are proficient in space techniques! With this alone, fellow Taoist Bai Chen, you will live up to the name of a powerful power in space!"
"Okay, Brother Ji Ci, don't praise me like this, let's go in quickly!" Even Bai Chen was so proud of Ji Ci that he couldn't bear it, and repeatedly urged him to enter Xiaowu City.
Ji Ci laughed and took the lead in stepping into the vortex.
In an instant, they appeared in a somewhat familiar desert—
This place is still in Mobei, but it was a long time ago!
Here, Bai Chen and the others did see a long and magnificent city wall. Although most of the city walls are buried in sand and stone, they can still feel the power of Xiaowu City in the past.
"According to ancient books, there were more than one billion monks in Xiaowu City, which can be regarded as a big city in the north of the desert." Ji Feng said.
"Then why did it suddenly disappear?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"I don't know this. It is said that it was caused by a disaster from heaven, but it is not recorded in ancient books, so no one knows what happened." Ji Feng said in a narrow voice.
Bai Chen nodded when he heard this, but he was not surprised.
In fact, there are many such cities that suddenly disappear in all realms, and they are still happening from time to time. However, the continent is too big and there are too many cities. If it is not a particularly large city, no one will care about it even if they know that it disappears.
While talking, Bai Chen and his men entered the city and found that there were many people coming and going, but most of them were mortals, with only a few monks, and they were all ordinary monks. They were curious.
Seeing what he thought, Ji Feng took the initiative to explain: "After so many years, everyone has already explored Xiaowu City. Except for the space vortex, other places have become ordinary! Ordinary places naturally cannot attract monks, so this place has become a place for mortals to hunt and find things. Because it is buried deep in this place for many years, there are many low-level cultivation resources or things that mortals need... In fact, to be honest, the ancient land was also discovered by the mortals here."
"Oh? What's going on?" Bai Chen asked curiously.
"About half a year ago, several mortals and people undoubtedly fell into a deep pit. There they found several corpses. After the corpses were raised, they found that they were monks and died of some kind of formation. Because this place was always the famous Xiaowu City, everyone thought that there might be an ancient tomb here, so they reported it to me layer by layer to the Lord of Tongwu City. The Lord of the City asked me to come and investigate, and then they found the location of the ancient land." Ji Feng said.
"So that's how it is." Bai Chen nodded, and then asked, "What's going on with the well and the corpse in the well?"
"Well, the well is actually an ancient well in the ancient land. There are organs and traps below, but they have all failed now. Those people are speculated to have gone down a long time ago, at least before the trap of the organs has gone down." Ji Feng said.
"As a result, the person who fell into the well had been to this ancient land at least an era before." Bai Chen asked.
"It should be like this." Ji Feng said.
"Someone has entered such an ancient land a time ago, but not many people know about this ancient land?" Bai Chen was surprised. Since someone died in the ancient land, it means that the ancient land is quite famous, but few people in Tongwu City know about such a place?
If it weren't for what Ji Feng said, it would be a bit unbelievable!
"This is also the reason I find strange. Logically speaking, no one should know about such an ancient land... But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing to be surprised. Just like the Yi family that several seniors are looking for, the ancestors have had a large family of emperors, but most of the descendants have never heard of it! No matter how this ancient land is, it cannot be compared with the Yi family." Ji Feng said with a smile.
Bai Chen laughed when he heard this. It was true that when he thought that the Yi family was a big family. After all, he had been born in the Emperor and had existed for so long, and he still had the Emperor's elixir. Even if there were not many people who knew about the ancient land, there should be many people who had heard of this family.
But the reality is that few people have heard of this family, and even the Ji family has not yet found out the specific location of its ancient land!
Naturally, it is normal that no one has ever heard of such an ancient land buried deep underground.
Of course, Bai Chen and the others have to see what the situation in the ancient land is before they can find out.
The ancient land is not far away, and Bai Chen and the others came here as they spoke.
"This is the ancient well I discovered at the beginning. Now there is nothing left." Ji Feng said, pointing to the wellhead in front of him.
Bai Chen walked up to look at it and said, "You can vaguely feel the faint restriction and the aura of the mechanism, but now it has indeed lost its effect."
"What is the purpose of building an ancient well here? It's not for drinking water, right?" Ji Ci asked at the ancient well.
"What do you think?" Bai Chen did not answer Ji Ci's words immediately, but looked at Ji Feng.
"Sorry, senior, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being stupid, I haven't figured out the reason yet." Ji Feng said with a shame.
Bai Chen smiled faintly when he heard this, "There is nothing to be ashamed of. Most people really can't figure out the reason why this ancient well exists... In fact, its purpose is to calm the earth veins here."
"Suppress the earth veins?" Everyone was even more puzzled. What is this statement?
"It's surprising? It's not that profound. You can understand it as a means to change the earth veins outside! The principles and functions are similar to formations." Bai Chen explained.
In fact, it is very common to change the earth veins for your own cultivation. Generally, sects and families use formations to mobilize the power of the earth veins and change the spiritual energy and divine way of the place of cultivation. while powerful sects and families will directly use the power of the earth veins to change their strength. For example, Lu Tianyu once saved a dragon vein-
"Save the Dragon Vein? Can you tell me in detail?" Hearing Bai Chen's words, Ji Feng and Ji Ci became interested in an instant. Cangque and Huo Haier also looked at Bai Chen curiously. They had never heard of this.
"That was a few years ago. During the experience, the master saw a dragon vein being cut down, but he was not completely confident. The master was soft-hearted and wanted to save his life. He used the method of breaking and picking to cut off the sword on the dragon vein, so that the dragon vein could regain its vitality, and it was not impossible for him to soar into the sky." Bai Chen said lightly.
"It sounds like changing the earth's veins seems to be an easy task?" Ji Ci said.
