Chapter 20

"Zhao Yue, roll over and take a look."

Under the majestic West City Gate, dozens of cold-hearted city guards in black armor were checking the bustling crowd in great detail. One of them, a young man who looked like a leader, glanced at the place where Ji Yuenian was standing. Turning his head, he gave an order to a guard beside him.

Zhao Yue responded in a low voice and walked straight towards the west gate.

The walls of the ancient city of Taichu are really too high, the gates are also very wide, and there are many people coming and going. In order to prevent some ghosts and monsters from mixing into the ancient city of Taichu, these black armored city guards will be so dedicated and dare not have Slightly slack.

Ji Yuenian stood in the same place for a long time, and his demeanor was not like a mortal, and he had long attracted the attention of these black armored city guards.

"I'm afraid this Taoist priest is not from the ancient city of Taichu?"

Zhao Yue walked over and slightly bowed his hands towards Ji Yuenian. Although his face was still calm, there were already stormy waves in his heart.

The city guard token on the waist is hot for a while, and there is a dazzling black light that circulates endlessly, which means... it senses a strong ghost in Ji Yuenian!

And judging from the violent reaction of this city guard token, I'm afraid this person is not an ordinary ghost at all!

At this time, Zhao Yue had already concluded that Ji Yuenian was a ghost, but he was very worried about his own safety and did not dare to turn around and run away, so he turned his head slightly and frantically moved towards the many black armored city guards under the west gate. color.

"how you said that?"

Ji Yue Young smiled and shook his head, while his thoughts moved, his fair and slender fingers flicked slightly, and he inadvertently put the Soul Soul Ghost Clothes into the Shengong Cave.

With the disappearance of the Spiritual Ghost Clothes, the city guard token on Zhao Yue's waist gradually fell silent.

"Zhao Yue, what's wrong!?"

The Heijia Fuwei, who looked like a leader, noticed Zhao Yue's abnormality.

"Commander Ji Bugui, this person was transformed by a ghost! He wants to infiltrate the territory within the city walls of Taichu Ancient City!" Zhao Yue looked a little scared, and he slowly retreated towards the west city gate as he spoke.

"Ghost!?" An ordinary person just happened to pass by. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Zhao Yue with the eyes of a fool.

More passers-by didn't care about these things that had nothing to do with them at all, glanced at random and left in a hurry.

Ji Bugui raised his foot and kicked Zhao Yue's butt fiercely, and scolded coldly: "Women! This is the ancient city of Taichu! How could there be ghosts who dare to come and wantonly?"

Monsters, spirits, etc. have at least been recognized by the human race. The ancient city of Taichu now strictly prohibits monsters and monsters from entering, just because this city is a relatively single ancient city of the human race. In the rest of the ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Guzong, there are many demon cities full of monsters.

But the ghosts are completely different. Besides, there is a righteous god guarded by the Supreme God of Earth. No ghost or ghost dares to approach the ancient city of Taichu for half a step. It is enough to grind a ghost in the realm of truth into powder.

"Commander Ji Bugui, I really didn't lie to you! The city guard token really sensed a very strange ghost power just now!" Zhao Yue cried and took down his city guard token from his waist.

But then his expression completely froze, and the city guard token has completely recovered calmness at some point, and there is not the slightest reaction on it.

"idiot!"

Ji Bugui showed an impatient look on his face, and turned Zhao Yue aside and walked to the place where Ji Yuenian approached two feet.

"Ji Bugui... Are you from the fourth room of the Ji family?" Ji Yuenian glanced at Ji Bugui and said softly.

It was only at this moment that Ji Bugui saw Ji Yuenian's appearance, and was stunned in place, shaking slightly all over his body.

After a few breaths, he still seemed a little unbelievable, and tentatively said, "Could it be the big... the eldest son?"

After cleansing the soul and purifying the marrow, Ji Yuenian has undergone an incredible rebirth from the inside out, and her already handsome appearance is more beautiful than before, making Ji Bugui a little unsure for a while.

Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "It's me."

"Eldest son! It's really you!?"

Ji Bugui's expression was extremely excited. He had always been calm, but at this time, he was rarely at a loss.

The ancient city of Taichu is vast and magnificent. There are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in it, and the Ji family is one of several cultivation families that surpass all ordinary people. It once ignited the sixth grade of the sequence at the age of six. The season of heart fire is the most dazzling existence among them.

Even if Ji Bugui belongs to the Ji family, the eldest son Ji Yuenian is still someone he can't get in touch with on weekdays.

"Eldest son, you can actually know me! It's true...but you don't already... Now that the Ji family is in chaos, it's good to come back! I'll take the eldest son back to Ji's house to meet the head of the family!"

Under Ji Bugui's emotional agitation, he was already a little incoherent.

"What kind of chaotic method, let's hear it." The young man flicked the sleeves of the robes, and a stream of azure profound energy appeared, submerging between Ji Bugui's eyebrows, which made his mind calm a lot in an instant.

"Thank you, eldest son," Ji Bugui suppressed his complicated feelings, and regardless of the Heijia manor guards who looked at each other, he led Ji Yuenian to the magnificent West Gate, "After the eldest son disappeared, He Xuan The position that Shangzhen gave to Ji's family was vacated, and the elder Ji Luoyan had a big dispute with the head of the family, and the Ji family almost broke out in an irreversible civil strife!"

Ji Yuenian thought for a moment and said, "Ji Luoyan definitely wants Ji Baiyu to take over my position, and my father... If there is no accident, it should be changed to support Ji Liuguang, the only son of the third house?"

"The eldest son is a god," Ji Bugui's eyes showed reverence and admiration, "but a few days ago, something happened to the Ji family that shocked the ancient city of Taichu, but..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Yue chased after him from a distance and shouted anxiously, "Commander Ji Bugui, if you leave at this time, what will happen to the rotation of the west side of the city gate?"

Ji Bugui turned his head to look at Zhao Yue, his eyes were slightly cold, and then he turned around and whispered to Ji Yuenian with some embarrassment: "Eldest son, I will deal with some chores first, and I will come later."

"Let's go." Ji Yuenian nodded slightly, but did not stop, but continued to walk forward slowly.

Although the ancient city of Taichu is called a city, it is actually a vast territory surrounded by eight long city walls. Dozens of prosperous cities and towns stand in the outer city. Although the most majestic and grand central inner city is only Only a few dozen miles around, but it is the real core of the ancient city of Taichu.

Yanggu Lingtian, Bicaohua, Hong Lingguo, Xuanxiang Rice... Countless Lingtian Lingguo is planted on both sides of the broad official road, stretching endlessly. There are also many ordinary people who take care of them carefully in the spiritual field and dare not relax for a moment. This is the basis for them to settle down in the ancient city of Taichu.

No matter what kind of spiritual fruit is planted, these ordinary people can only leave 20% each year, and the remaining 80% is turned over to the inner city as spiritual tax to support several cultivating families who are in charge of the ancient city of Taichu.

The seeds of these Lingtian Lingguo were uniformly distributed by Taiyu Guzong to nineteen ancient cities many years ago. So even if only 20% is left, it is enough food and clothing for these ordinary people, and there is even a lot of surplus, which can be exchanged for silver money.

The silver coins here refer to the silver taels used by ordinary people. After all, 99% of the creatures in the ancient city of Taichu are ordinary mortals who have never ignited their hearts. The precious primeval stone is traded.

Primordial stones are jade stones that contain rich heaven and earth vitality, from which any race can draw pure heaven and earth vitality. .

The vastness of the world is endless, and new primeval stone ore veins are born in a certain corner almost every moment. Therefore, primeval stone has gradually become something that can be traded between living beings that can practice cultivation, and it has almost never changed.

"Do you know who that person was just now? Dare to shout here?"

Ji Bugui looked gloomy and looked coldly at Zhao Yue in front of him.

At this time, there were already several city guards in black armor who had found some clues, and they hurriedly greeted Ji Bugui, and then rode on their horses and ran towards the inner city far away.

The return of the eldest son of the Ji family intact, this matter will surely cause a sensation in the entire inner city!

Zhao Yue also seemed to realize that his act of stopping Ji Bugui was a little stupid, and stammered: "Ji Bugui... Commander, I didn't... mean nothing else, I just..."

"You are courting death!" Ji Bugui pulled out his long sword and slashed towards Zhao Yue's wrist fiercely!

The cold light flashed away, and Zhao Yue's left hand fell in response.

A large amount of blood spurted out, and Zhao Yue let out a shrill scream. His right hand grabbed the broken wrist of his left hand, and he knelt on the ground and cried in pain.

"Dog thing, how dare you delay me to please the eldest son, I didn't kill you with a sword, you are already lucky!" Ji Bugui spat fiercely on the top of Zhao Yue's head, and turned his head to the other few who had never The black armored city guard who left said coldly, "Everyone who is going to report the letter has already gone. You guys will stay with me at the big city gate on the west side, and don't leave!"

These people glanced at Zhao Yue's tragic state, and they all said tremblingly: "Yes, Ji Bugui Commander."

Ji Bugui snorted coldly, and never rode a horse, he turned around and walked quickly towards Ji Yuenian, who was on the official road in the distance.

Although the recruitment of black armored city guards is extremely strict, after all, most of the bottom city guards are mortal warriors from the outer cities. There are nearly a thousand black armored city guards, and some of them are occasionally stupid. Not surprising.

This Zhao Yue is one of them.

Although Ji Bugui is only a small commander, he is backed by the Ji family, a family of cultivation in the inner city, whose status is much higher than that of Zhao Yue.
