Nine Desolate Sword Demon

Chapter 27 Black Flame City

evening.

The bright moonlight is shining, as if covering this prehistoric land with a layer of silver sand, which is as beautiful as a picture.

Peng Ye rested his head on his hands. Although he was very tired, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

After all, if a person is alone in the bushes and jungles in the wilderness, even if he is not wary of wild animals, he still needs to be wary of those immortal cultivators in the direction of the grassland. All kinds of worries made him panic.

After a while of thinking and worrying, Peng Ye's eyes stopped on the bronze box, and he couldn't sleep right now, why don't he see what's hidden in the bronze box?
Thinking of this, Peng Ye made his routine when writing novels. He never pays attention to the outline when he writes novels. consistent style.

So Peng Ye quickly got up and came to the bronze box, carefully perceiving it, and he could see it clearly under the moonlight.

There are many strange lines on it. According to this world, those are the so-called "Tao seal", "Tao pattern" and so on.

The water chestnut lines around the bronze box are very complete. It seems that Daoist He Di should not have opened it. Peng Ye searched for the lid of the bronze box for a long time, but he found that there was no one at all!

"You haven't opened your mouth yet. This box is really strange. Could it be that there is some kind of peerless treasure inside?" Peng Ye was overjoyed when he thought of this, and even had the desire to open it.

However, after tossing and tossing late at night, Peng Ye still couldn't find a way to open it. He was completely confused and had no temper at all.

"Since God's will is so, then I can only sell you as an antique for some money." Peng Ye sat on the mat with a piece of grass in his mouth, and his eyes looked very deep under the moonlight. Holding the bronze box, I don't know what to think.

The next day.

Seeing that Nuan Yang had just risen, Peng Ye got up and headed eastward, carrying the bronze box on his back, wading through mountains and rivers, and after walking for seven days, he finally came across a place where people lived.

He was standing on a precipice with a bronze box on his back. Right in front of him was a large city, located in a basin surrounded by several mountains. Ancient buildings rose from the ground, and there were many flying beasts coming and going in the sky, which seemed to be full of vitality.

"It's nice to have someone." The corner of Peng Ye's mouth curled up with a smile. He didn't know what mood he was in right now. He was alone across the wilderness, across rivers and mountains all the way, but fortunately, he didn't meet him at all. What monster.

At this moment, Peng Ye could only think that this was probably caused by a sense of security. After all, human beings are highly emotional animals, and they would always feel more comfortable if there were many people.

If he can't meet the towns and see the living people, he really thinks that he has come to the end of the world... Like a walking dead, waiting to die, that would be too boring.

Master Xing has a good saying, what is the difference between a person without dreams and a salted fish?
Although Peng Ye can't cultivate and has become a salted fish in this world of cultivating immortals, even if he becomes a salted fish, he still wants to be the saltiest one. He is such a stubborn person.

Touching the Qiankun bag on the back with his hand, the dry food was almost eaten up these few days. Peng Ye looked at the small half of the dry food left in his hand and smiled wryly. Although he saw the ancient city, it was still a short distance from here to the city. For the distance, at least half a day's travel is required, "It seems that I have to go hungry, ah moo..." He swallowed it in one gulp.

Turning over the half of the mountain under his feet, Peng Ye came to a forest road with the bronze box on his back. At the beginning, he occasionally met a few people on the road, which made him feel quite excited, even a little unnaturally excited.

But after that, he got used to it one after another. Peng Ye suppressed the excitement in his heart, calmed down, and prepared to go to the city to find a place to live and start a new life.

"Little brother...have pity on me, I haven't eaten for several days, woo..."

The road in the forest is very spacious, and there are more and more people coming and going. As it gets closer to the city, there are more vendors on the roadside.

But the more Peng Ye looked at it, the more his expressions became more and more changeable. There were children beggars, poor old women, and fierce rough men with cigarettes on the road.

It turns out that there are things like smoke in other worlds...

Peng Ye stopped at one place and looked at the little girl called his little brother. She was only about six years old. Her dirty face was slightly red, which was cute and distressing at the same time.

"Here you are." Peng Ye bought a bunch of fruit from a candied haws shop, knelt down and handed it to the little sister. With a touch of chivalrous tenderness in his eyes, he patted the little sister's head dotingly and said with a smile: "Your parents Woolen cloth?"

"I don't know who my parents are, and I've never met them before." The little girl blinked her beautiful eyes, and said innocently while eating, her answer was very straightforward and frivolous.

Hearing this, Peng Ye was in a complicated mood. To put it bluntly, he really wanted to "educate" those irresponsible men and women who only care about their lower body for a while.

"Little brother, little brother, I want me too..."

At this time, several little beggars who looked like little girls came running, there were men and women, they were not very old, the oldest was no more than ten years old, and the youngest was four years old...

gosh...

Peng Ye had a wry smile in his heart. He was about to face bankruptcy before entering the city, and he had to give it away, not to mention other things. Since they hugged each other and asked him, if he didn't give him his conscience, he could only blame himself for being soft-hearted. , why choose to stop.

There should be hundreds of gold coins in the black card, but it was quickly maxed out at this time.

"Little brother, I think you're new to this city, right?" The one who spoke was the peddler who sold him candied haws. He was in his thirties and skinny.

Peng Ye nodded.

"That's right, they are all well-known slum beggars in Heiyan City. They specialize in tricking outsiders to ask outsiders for money and food. As long as they are locals, they will not pity them." The hawker selling candied haws said. After a while, the voice lowered a little, "And you didn't notice that they were begging, and no one paid attention to them when they came and went?"

"In that case, does the peddler brother have to give me my money back?" Peng Ye narrowed his eyes into crescents, smiled exaggeratedly, and pursed his lips.

"Hey, you are really... well-intentioned to tell you that you don't know what to do." Hearing this, the peddler snorted disdainfully, pretending to be embarrassed, turned around and hugged the straw tree pole, and slipped away like a thief. quick.

Peng Ye returned to normal, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he shrugged. He really kindly reminded me why didn't you say that when I bought your candied haws?Ma Dan!

After waving with those children, Peng Ye didn't want to keep any more. Now that he has no gold coins, he still has to go to the city quickly and find a pawn shop to pawn the bronze box. It can't be opened anyway, it's a proper burden !
