2848 The secret of the immortals (1)

The sky was dark, and the tired birds returned to the forest.

A few martial artists at the city gate glanced at the water timer, then picked up the huge drum sticks beside them and prepared to sound the closing drum.

The strangely shaped animal skin drum would make a long sound every time it was. .h.i.t, echoing in the sky above the city.

When the bell rang, the city gates opened, and when the drum rang, the city gates closed.

The evening drum and the morning bell guided thousands of families to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

After the drum was sounded, they would wait for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, waiting for those who entered the city late.

Once the time was up, the city gate was immediately closed.

The heavy city gate made a rough grinding sound, and under the control of several martial artists, it was slowly gathering together.

If one were to look closely at the city gate, one would discover many things.

The main material of the city gate was ten-thousand-year-old Yin-heavy wood. Its color was dark and it was impervious to fire and water. Its density was comparable to that of gold and iron.

The materials used to build this city gate were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and that was the price many years ago.

If it was in the present day, it would cost at least ten thousand taels of gold to build such a city gate.

On the thick city gate, there were lines of decorative patterns. They were exorcism runes arranged by a Rune Master.

The golden light shone and warded off all plagues.

It was this gold-patterned exorcism wooden door that helped the city block the ghosts and evil spirits at night, allowing the residents to sleep in peace.

It was said that a martial artist who had been guarding the city had neglected his duty, causing the city gate to not be completely closed, which led to the disaster.

That night, the cold wind blew across the long Street. More than 130 families were killed, and many of them were either dead or injured.

Early the next morning, the entire city was in mourning, and the sound of crying and wailing was endless.

The entire Street was filled with corpses, all of them looking like sick ghosts. Their deaths were too horrible to look at.

Not only did more than a thousand people die, but evil spirits were also lurking in the city, causing the entire city to be restless day and night.

With no other choice, they could only raise a large sum of money and invite the cultivators of the sect to help them. In the end, they killed and eliminated the evil ghosts and spirits.

It was because of that tragedy that the number of martial artists at the city gate had been increased, and the gate would be closed at the designated time.

“My Lords, please wait a moment!”

Just as the door was being closed, someone suddenly shouted. Then, a Knight rushed out of the forest outside the city.

Judging from the other party’s attire, he was a Caravan Guard who had just returned from a foreign land.

As for the reason for stopping, it was naturally because they did not want the caravan to stay outside the city, as they might be attacked by evil spirits and fierce beasts.

This kind of thing happened often, so the martial artists guarding the city were not surprised. However, the action of closing the door was a bit slower.

At the same time, the warrior rode his horse to the city gate and dismounted.

Ignoring the dust on his body, he immediately went to the leader of the martial artists guarding the city and showed a flattering smile.

“Sir, please make an exception. Please wait for a moment, our convoy will arrive soon.”

As the guard spoke, he took out a string of ten s.h.i.+ny coins and handed them to the leader.

After receiving the heavy coin, the leader of the martial artists smiled and his att.i.tude became much gentler.

“No problem. We’re all residents of the same city, so it’s only natural for me to take care of them.

Your trading company’s goods are good and cheap. Even if it’s for the people of the city, you have to wait for a while.”

Thank you, sir, for your leniency. If you have any goods that you like, please let me know. I guarantee that I will sell them at cost price!

The caravan Guard quickly thanked him. At the same time, he had a generous expression on his face and inadvertently gave him some benefits.

He had spent some time in the city’s Army in the past, and he knew that if it weren’t for the money, these martial artists guarding the city would not be so easy to talk to.

The officials in the city were easy to deal with. On the contrary, these guys who did not have much power were the best at doing things in secret.

“Oh, did your caravan find anything new or interesting during this trip?”

While they were waiting, the leader of the martial artists looked at the caravan guards and asked in a curious tone.

This world’s communication methods were backward, and it was difficult to receive news. It was likely that it would take half a year for news of what happened hundreds of miles away to spread.

Caravans traveled everywhere, so they had more opportunities to get in touch with new news. Many news from other places were pa.s.sed on through them.

Delivering letters for others was also one of the businesses of these caravans, and the government also encouraged this kind of behavior.

There would be a carriage in the caravan all year round, specially used to store letters, to ensure that each trip would not be empty.

this is new and interesting news. You’ve asked the right person!

This Caravan Guard was talkative to begin with, and when he heard others asking about the outside world, he only held back for a moment before he began to narrate with exultation.

“Speaking of the major events that have happened recently, the cultivation sects that I’ve mentioned have almost caused a stir in the entire world.

I reckon that it won’t take long for it to reach us.

It was said that they had accidentally discovered a special world where the weeds were as large as Pines and cypresses, and the corpses of giant beasts were as large as mountains.

There were countless treasures in this world, and all the major sects were fighting for them. Not only did they send all their cultivators in, but they also recruited countless Warriors.

They only wanted to seize the initiative and obtain more treasures to increase the strength of the sect.

It was said that the treasures from that world filled the treasure vaults of the major sects. Because of the huge size of the treasures, one of them was comparable to tens of millions of treasures.

Later on, they discovered an ancient city. It was said that it was ten thousand miles in size, and the buildings in the city were like Endless Mountains.

There’s a temple in the middle of the ancient city. It’s thousands of feet tall and its area is about the same as our city.

It was said that the interior of the temple was filled with exotic flowers and plants, each of which was a heavenly treasure. One could exchange ten thousand taels of gold for a single leaf.

A mortal can live to a hundred years old with just one bite, and from then on, their bodies will be healthy and free from all diseases!”

When the martial artists who were guarding the city heard this, their faces were filled with shock and suspicion. It was obvious that they could not believe that there was such a huge building in the world.

However, the story was fascinating, so they didn’t dare to interrupt it, in case the other party got angry and stopped telling.

The guard did not care about the suspicious look on the city Guard’s face. Instead, he continued to speak with a smile, ” “Just as the cultivators of the major sects were about to enter the temple and s.n.a.t.c.h the precious treasures inside, a G.o.d suddenly descended.

Perhaps the actions of the major sects had angered the G.o.ds. The figure in the sky waved his hand casually, and then a surging flood came sweeping over.

The water was cold and sticky. Once you fell into it, you couldn’t escape. It would only take thirty to fifty breaths for you to turn into a pool of blood.

Countless cultivators died in the torrent, and those who were lucky enough to survive didn’t dare to stay. They all fled from that world with all their might, and no one dared to enter it again.”

The caravan Guard finished speaking in one breath and looked at the martial artists with a smug expression.

When he first heard this news, he was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. In the end, he was laughed at for being ignorant.

Now that he repeated it and saw the same expression on the others ‘faces, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

“Is what you said true? you’re not lying, are you?”

The martial artists guarding the city came back to their senses. They felt that this news was too fantasizing, and they could not help but feel suspicious in their hearts.

“It’s up to you to believe it or not. My news comes from the nephew of the boss of the trading company. He’s a respected cultivator of the sect, a true immortal figure.”

When the guard of the trade caravan said this, he deliberately mentioned the background of the boss of the trade caravan to knock some sense into the martial artists who were guarding the city.

Even if it was a Fox exploiting a Tiger’s might, it would still have a certain effect.

As the crowd was conversing, a caravan slowly appeared and walked towards the city gate.
