Chapter 1425 – The Internal World
Du Shoushou and the others had nothing better to do, so they broke their wrists, and only then did they understand how terrifying the people in this place were. Thus, there were times when he had to admit that the heavens were fair to people. This place had been deprived of the heaven and earth origin energy by some mysterious force, but the change in soil had caused all the people here to have innate divine strength. Although they were short, each of them was like a war god.
“We have to find a guide.”
On the morning of the second day, Xu Shiyi gathered everyone and said a sentence that confused everyone.
“Didn’t you go to that secret realm before? What guide would you like?”
“Yeah, you forgot how to get there?”
“Besides, since it’s a secret realm, do you think everyone knows where the secret realm is if you find a guide?”
Xu Shiyi looked at everyone and replied, “Indeed, most of the people here know where the secret realm is. It’s just that no one knows what is inside. In the eyes of the people of Sunshine City, that place was a forbidden area for death. How do you think the people of Sun Radiance City survived? “Since the trees are growing so slowly, how are we going to deal with the rations here?”
“Didn’t you say that it won’t affect the harvest? Spring and autumn harvest.”
“I did, but not on the surface, but underground.”
Xu Shiyi said: “Now, let me bring you all to see the real Sun Radiance City.”
He walked to the counter of the inn and spoke to the innkeeper in a low voice. Xu Shiyi placed a pearl that was as big as an egg in front of him. After hesitating for a while, the owner finally put the pearl away.
“Gao Thirteen, lead the way. They are going to that place.”
A young man who looked to be around eighteen to nineteen years old ran over from the backyard. He looked to be about one and a half meters in height, “Boss, are you really going to that place? “Why don’t you try to persuade the guests? It’s better if we don’t go to that place.”
The boss replied, “The guests insist on going. Do you think I won’t advise them to go? “If I ask you to lead the way, then hurry up, don’t be so long-winded.”
Taking advantage of this, Xu Shiyi explained to An Zheng and the others: “The people here have all planted food on the ground. You’ll see it in a while. The place we are going to is on Little Peach Mountain, but the secret realm is something that everyone here knows, they just don’t dare to go in there. On the way to the secret realm, we have been using the farms and workshops of the citizens of Sunlight City. If we don’t get their permission to go, we will be in a lot of trouble. ”
“The owner of this inn is a member of the Sun Radiance City’s Elders Guild. There was no Mayor here, everything was decided by the Elders of the Board of Patriarchs. Of course, this referred to major matters. Every elder has the right to make decisions for the next few hours. ”
When Xu Shiyi finished speaking, the young lad called Gao Thirteen also finished cleaning up. He changed into a lighter set of clothes and tied a half meter long machete onto his back.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we can leave now. On the way, I’ll tell you about the taboo … I saw him on the way here. Because this Gongzi is our elder’s friend, he will take you guys there. If you see it, don’t tell anyone else. The people of Yangzhao City are at peace with the world, and we do not wish to stir up any trouble. The place you are going to is extremely dangerous, so I can only send you out of the restricted area. ”
Gao Thirteen led the way forward. After everyone left the inn, they walked towards the plaza for around ten minutes. At the side of the plaza, there was a large grocery store, and inside it were all local products from Sunshine City. After Gao Thirteen entered, he conversed with the owner of the grocery store, who then opened the back door. They left through the back door, which led to a large courtyard. When they arrived in the courtyard, Gao Thirteen pointed to a well and said, “Go down.”
Xu Shiyi acknowledged and took the lead to jump down. An Zheng glanced at Du Shoushou and the others, implying that they should be the last ones to go, before jumped in after them. The well was very deep, with grooves on both sides for people to climb up. To An Zheng and the others, this height was nothing. Jumping down to the ground, An Zheng guessed that the water well must have a depth of at least fifty meters. Strangely, the area from forty to twenty meters was filled with water. There was no water below, and no idea how the people of Yangzhao City managed to do it.
Below was a wide road with long lights on both sides, one every meter or so, so the tunnel looked bright. After everyone had descended, Gao Thirteen took out a bell from the wall and rang it. Not long after, a carriage came from the other side. The people here weren’t very tall, even the horses were the same. They were about half the size of the horses that An Zheng and the others usually saw.
“The honored guest of the elder has received his special permission.”
“Come up,” Gao Thirteen said, and the coachman nodded his head, “Come up.”
Everyone got into the carriage. With so many people, the carriage itself was still very heavy. After climbing up, the seemingly small and exquisite horse actually started to gallop, as if nothing had happened. After running for about half an hour through the tunnel, everyone’s eyes widened.
After exiting the tunnel, what they saw shocked everyone to the point that their mouths gaped wide open.
This wauge underground space, so large that it exceeded one’s imagination. There were farmland on both sides of the road, and many peasant women were working in it. One after another, carriages entered and exited the fields, carrying the food out.
An Zheng raised his head and looked. There was actually a sun above him. The distance was very close and it was roughly a dozen meters in size. It hung high in the sky, emitting a warm glow.
“That’s the Golden Crow’s Stone.”
Xu Shiyi explained, “Everyone said that the matter of Yang Zhao City and the nine Golden Crows was just a fabrication, but the people of Yang Zhao City believed it without a doubt. The reason why it was like this was because of the Golden Crow Stone. Legend has it that the Golden Crow Stone was something that the Golden Crow spat out. The Golden Crow Stone had the same function as the sun, so even under the ground, the crops here could still grow normally. Also, because the sun is shining more brightly, the fruits produced here are much more delicious than those produced outside. ”
“The Golden Crow Stone.”
An Zheng looked at the enormous golden stone, and sighed with emotion in his heart.
Who would have thought that they would see such a different scene in the Azure Province? As he ran along the road, the horse became even more cheerful. The people here all seemed to have good personalities. From time to time, waves of singing could be heard coming from the fields, but most of them were out of tune.
“This is their farm. Have you guessed where this is?”
Xu Shiyi asked An Zheng.
“Inside the Little Fairy Peach Mountain.”
“Right.”
Xu Shiyi said, “The people of Sun Radiance City did not dig up this huge vacuum in the Little Fairy Peach Mountain. They think it was a gift from the heavens. The land outside could not normally be cultivated, thus there was space within the Little Peach of Immortals. “But in reality, if cultivators were to see it, they would have guessed it …”
An Zheng said, “There isn’t really that much space inside the Little Fairy Peach Mountain. This is a space that was created by a single cultivator, a grand cultivator. The tunnel is the entrance to the space. The people of Sun Radiance City have always thought that they were working in the Little Peach Blossom Mountain, but in reality, they have entered another space. ”
“That’s right.”
Xu Shiyi said: “When I came here last time, I already guessed it, it’s just that they live a simple life, I don’t want to tell them the truth.”
The carriage continued on, and the road narrowed and began to climb. On the way up, he could see workshops built according to the slope on both sides of the road. He could hear the clanking sounds coming from inside.
“The people of Sun Radiance City are all good blacksmiths. It could be natural, or it could be the result of living like this for a long time. They took out metal forging tools and weapons from the special stones of the Peach Blossom Small Mountain. These items would be considered valuable magic tools on the outside because the metal materials here are very special. ”
“If we keep going forward, we will truly be inside the Little Peach God Mountain.”
Xu Shiyi pointed to the sky, “There iatio there. A patio that’s at least a few hundred metres big, leading straight to the Peach God Lake at the peak of the Little Peach God Mountain. The weird thing is, when you look up, you can see the light shining on it, but not a single drop of water will fall from it. ”
As he spoke, a man in black armor appeared in front of him and stopped the carriage.
“That’s the hunting team.”
Xu Shiyi lowered his voice and said: “Everyone be a bit more courteous, don’t anger them.”
Du Shoushou said: “Of course not, we cannot afford to offend these people.”
The leader of the hunting squadron seemed to be the tallest of the group, about 1.7 meters tall. Their armor also looked special, with incomprehensible patterns on it. An Zheng had seen ancient runes before, but he realized that these runes were actually somewhat similar to the lost ancient runes.
“Halt.”
The leader of the group stopped the carriage. The axe in his hand looked bigger than the leader’s.
“Where are you going?”
The coachman quickly replied, “Vice-captain Bai Yang, they are esteemed guests of the elder. They are going to the forbidden area.”
The well-dressed man called Bai Yang harrumphed, “You people from the outside really don’t know how to write like this, you still dare to go there … Since they are honored guests of the elder, I will not stop them. Even the elder is not afraid of death. “On behalf of the elder of Sun Reflection City, I solemnly warn all of you, if you are able to leave this place alive, then you must not speak of anything that you have seen here.”
Xu Shiyi replied, “Don’t worry, we will keep our mouths shut.”
“Get out of the car, I need to go with you for the rest of the way. There are some places in front of us that are designated as forbidden areas by the Assembly of Elders of Sunlight City and cannot be entered as we wish. I will escort you all all the way to the border of the land of death.
He raised his head and looked at Du Shoushou who was around 1.9m, “Are you dizzy?”
Du Shoushou: “I’m not fainting.”
Bai Yang: “Why are you so tall?”
Du Shoushou: “...”
Just as they got out of the carriage and were about to move forward, they suddenly heard a burst of urgent horn sounds coming from the distance. The moment they heard the horn, their expressions changed. The hunters drew their weapons and rushed towards the sound of the horn. They could not cultivate, but they were extremely robust. Bai Yang tapped on the ground with his feet. The force of the explosion left him speechless. With a casual jump, he was already a hundred meters away. The hunters kept jumping forward and soon disappeared from their line of sight.
“Let’s go take a look.”
Xu Shiyi’s face became gloomy: They may need help.
