Chapter 1084: Naihe City
Lin Tao asked him to continue and said, "What are you going to but not? We have been to many places. We have encountered so many dangerous places. Is the place you mentioned more dangerous than these?"
Mu Changfeng shook his head and said, "It's not that it's dangerous, it's just that it's ominous. The city I'm talking about is cursed."
As soon as these words were said, several people looked at each other and asked him: "What curse?"
Mu Changfeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's not the kind of curse you think. It has a source of origin. I don't know whether it is true or not. We are also guessing now."
Everyone asked him to talk in detail. Mu Changfeng cleared his throat and said, "These legends are very long. We talked as we walked. There is time on the road. I guess we will arrive in that city after I finished telling this legend."
Mu Changfeng said that this city is called Naihe City, a land without a border, and is within the Great Zhou Dynasty. As soon as he said it, Lin Tao interrupted him: "Wait a minute."
Mu Changfeng said angrily: "That boy Liu Dongliang is not here, you just go against me, right? I have said it, this legend is very long, I have to tell you a little bit, don't interrupt it. If you say a few words, you will be able to finish the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month."
Lin Tao was in a disadvantaged position and smiled embarrassedly: "Old Mu, don't be angry. I just remembered something and kept it in my heart. If I don't say it, I feel uncomfortable. I will say this, just this time, if I interrupt you later, I will slap myself."
Mu Changfeng waved his hand helplessly and said, "Since you said that, you should say it quickly. I will continue to say it after that."
Lin Tao continued: "Is there any ancient formation guarding in the place you mentioned? You also know that any big city without ancient formation guarding is equivalent to a waste city. Not only is it easy to be broken, we have no security."
Mu Changfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry about this. This Naihe City not only has a large formation to protect, but also a large formation at the level of gods."
A great formation of god-level? Zhao Mingting was puzzled by this and frowned in surprise and asked him: "Since this city formation is so powerful, why is it still a land without a border? In the territory of the Great Zhou, shouldn't it be under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou?"
Mu Changfeng reacted, patted his head and said, "It's right. I just neglected it. In fact, this statement is not very accurate in the Great Zhou territory. That's the past. This city is a three-no matter, it's at the junction of the three countries, and there is no city lord or aristocratic family."
This sounded very fresh, and Lin Tao couldn't help asking: "The City Lord's Family is the power to protect a city. Of course, some are strong and some are weak, some are good and some are dependent, such as Zhou Huo's family. But no matter what, it would be a bit unreliable that you say there is no City Lord's Family. Is there a Senate in their city that lives in the council of 300 people?"
Mu Changfeng explained: "It's not like that. They used to have a city lord's mansion. Later, they cursed to death. Four or five of them were like this in succession. No one dared to be their city lords again. For many years, local people have been hiring casual cultivators to protect the safety of the city, which means asking for bodyguards."
"However, in recent years, the local economy has become a bit ineffective, so the casual cultivator can't afford it. Alas, it's really pitiful to say." Mu Changfeng sighed.
Lin Tao thought to himself: "According to what you said, this city is indeed a good place, suitable for us as a sect base, as long as we are not afraid of being cursed to death."
He is not a superstitious person and never believes that there is any curse. Behind the curse of Naihecheng is likely to be a restriction or something left by a powerful person.
Even if it is a curse, it will not be as mysterious as they say. It will curse people to death from the air, and it will not be so evil even if you cheat.
Mu Changfeng agreed with his idea and nodded and said, "Actually, this city is not called Naihe City. Do you think that fool would use such an unlucky name? This place was originally called Shitou City, because there is a stone mountain nearby and a stone ridge on the mountain. It has been a long time since the curse came out and it was called Naihe City."
The group said it was right, and it soon became dark. Because they brought the two teenagers, Xiao Jian, Hongfeng, Song Donglai and others, the speed of traveling was slower.
Seeing that leaving like this was too time-consuming, Lin Tao simply divided the crowd into two teams, with him and Zhao Mingting Mu Changfeng as the vanguard and advance team.
The remaining people were formed into a team, led by Xiao Jian, and the mute Liu Long served as the military advisor. As he said, he was steady and scheming, and Lin Tao could still trust him in this regard.
Early the next morning, Lin Tao and Zhao Mingting Mu Changfeng set out first and accelerated their progress. Soon, they left Xiao Jian and others far behind.
After several days of traveling, the three of them finally arrived at Stone City. Although the scale of this Stone City is less than Lin Jincheng, it is not inferior to the momentum.
It also occupies a very dangerous situation. Nearly half of the city is built against the mountain, with tigers standing on the dragon plate, looking down below.
In front of the city gate, the guard power was very weak. Lin Tao almost saw a powerful monk along the way, the strongest one, and his cultivation was only at the beginning of the God Distraction Stage, and the others were even more unsightly.
There was no team of monks in the city, and the only thing I saw was a team of "militia", with twelve or three people. On a rough estimate, most of them were cast monks.
They found a store to live in. The boss was a taciturn middle-aged man. After several people finished the procedures, Mu Changfeng asked him: "Boss, what's wrong with the militia outside?"
"That," the boss said slowly: "That is the recent increase in defense. I heard that the Sword Sect and the Qi Sect are going to attack recently."
"Sword Sect Qi Sect? What kind of sect is that? I have never heard of it." Lin Tao couldn't help asking.
The boss lamented and said, "It's not just these two sects, but there are others. They'll make a fuss every few days, but I heard that this time it seems to be very serious."
Lin Tao heard that the boss seemed to have something in his words, so he asked, "What do you mean is they come to the city in three or two days? What are they doing in the city? Are they robbing?"
The boss nodded silently and said, "That's what it means."
When Lin Tao heard this, he was a famous and upright school, and it was clearly a good horse! But what did they come to the city to rob these ordinary people? They have no money or fairy treasures. What's the use of robbing them?
He asked this question, and the boss shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think. They didn't know where to hear it, and they said there was a ruin in the city. So, after three or two days, they were finally repelled by the monks in the city."
"But recently, they have become more and more overdoing, and even have the idea of the people in the city. Everyone can't bear it anymore and organize these militias, but what's the use? The other party is so strong, I don't think there is any chance of winning." As he said that, the middle-aged old man sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"If the other party is a monk, of course you have no chance of winning, so you surrender. If you persist like this, you will be meaningless resistance." Mu Changfeng, a man, said half-jokingly.
The boss glanced at him and said, "What you said is light and surrender. This stone city is an industry left by our ancestors. How can we give up people? We are all ready and would rather shed blood than kneel down!"
Lin Tao was moved when he heard the boss's passionate words and said, "Boss, I want to participate in this battle when you say that."
The boss nodded solemnly: "Welcome to participate."
Lin Tao smiled, turned his head and asked, "By the way, boss, you are from this city. I believe you have done a lot of effort to resist the attack of powerful enemies!"
"Uh, this is a little bit worthy of effort, not worth mentioning." The boss grinned and his face turned red.
Seeing that the boss was hiding something, Lin Tao became interested and asked, "Boss, don't be humble, tell me."
The boss had no choice but to hesitate: "Well, I donated a set of tea sets to the garrison in the city. Although the tea sets are old and they are all out of place, they cost me a lot of money when buying them!"
Damn! Lin Tao almost slapped him, and after a long breath, he calmed down and said, "Boss, you are no longer authentic. People are going to the battlefield to bleed and fight to the death. You donated a set of tea sets, but it's so old. If you donate anything else, is it useless to donate this thing?"
The boss was humiliated and his face was unhappy. He was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
At this time, Mu Changfeng had the gaze and stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Lao Lin, what you said, maybe this set of tea sets can also give everyone some drinks or something, and this is the boss's will after all, and it is better than nothing."
Seeing that he was talking more and more outrageous, Zhao Mingting hurriedly stopped him from talking and changed the topic: "Brother Mu, it's better not to talk if you can smooth things out like this. I feel weird when I hear it. Having said that, should we help everyone defend?"
Before she could say anything, she heard a horn suddenly coming from outside the door. The sound was extremely loud and almost the whole city could hear it.
When the boss heard the horn, his face changed and said, "They are here!"
Lin Tao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that those Sword Sect and Qi Sect have any messy sects that have arrived so soon?
Without saying anything, the boss drove a few people out, closing the door tightly while rushing. Seeing this, he didn't want people to have a better life.
Lin Tao cursed him, and the three of them followed the sound and walked several streets. They saw a team of "militia" holding dilapidated weapons in their hands and hurried past them.
Lin Tao knew at a glance that these rescue teams were heading to the battlefield, so they followed them and followed them all the way.
After walking through several streets and alleys, those people suddenly stopped. The leader was a young man in soap clothes. He walked up and scolded Lin Tao and said, "You followed us all the way. Who are you?"
Lin Tao knew that they probably regarded him as an enemy who had been infiltrated into the city. After a misunderstanding, he said, "Don't be impulsive, you guys, you are all your own people."
The man became angry when he heard this: "Who is your own person with you? Come on with me and take it down!"
