Chapter 1) Tianyi

During the day, the Cliff City is very prosperous, and recently, it is even more unusual.

Because of the turmoil in the Rift Valley, a considerable number of people living in the villages outside the city flocked into the city, increasing the population of the city by more than [-]%, and because the follow-up protection was still effective, the situation in the city was stable, and the market appeared to be extremely prosperous.

Leaning on the railing, Yu Ci looked into the distance, and saw that under the rare warm winter sun, the city was bustling with people, flowing in the streets and alleys of the old city and the new city.The shadow of the mountain wall cut across obliquely, dividing light and dark. At this moment, the clear light changes are obviously more vivid than the vague sounds.

Because where Yu Ci is now is on the top floor of the Tianyi Building in the Cliff City.

The Tianyi Building is located at the edge of the new town of the Cliff City, with its back against a high cliff.

It is called a building, but it is actually a platform extending from a thousand-foot cliff building.On the left and right sides are curved ring-shaped suspended covered bridges. Where the covered bridges converge is the main building of Tianyi Building. The structure is only four floors, but it is suspended at a height of two hundred feet, leaning against high cliffs and connected to clouds and mist. It has a unique design.Facing the entire precipice city, overlooking the scenery, it makes people feel at ease.

The overall layout of Tianyi Building is like an eagle with its head raised and its wings spread.The covered bridges on both sides are the wings, the main building is the head and neck, and the clouds and mist are rolling in the outside. From a distance, it really looks like an eagle hitting the sky.

The Tianyi Building was built suspended in the air, and it is the largest project in the cliff city for more than a hundred years.There is also a story in it. It is said that this building was specially built on the heights of Xincheng in order to confront the Danya Mansion in Bairi Mansion before the Wanling Gate was driven out of the Cliff City.Its height is exactly half a foot higher than the tallest building on Danya, which means "to overwhelm one end".

However, ironically, less than a year after the building was built, Jin Huan invited Shi Song and Hu Dan, the two masters of Wanlingmen, to fight.After the First World War, Wanlingmen sadly gave up all its resources in the cliff city and its surrounding areas, and went far away to remote areas, where it operated in a miserable manner.This Tianyi Building has become the property of Bairi Mansion until today.

Eight days later, the Yi Bao Banquet will be held on the top floor of Tianyi Building.

Over the past few decades, the top floor of Tianyi Building has not been easily opened to the outside world. Only the top [-] or [-] people in the city have been qualified to come up, or to entertain important guests and hold important events, just like this Yibao Banquet.

At this moment, Yu Ci was the only one on the top floor of Youda, and the surrounding area was the lush and lush Cloud Bamboo Garden.On the viewing platform, green bamboos are planted scattered to form a natural screen, which is also very interesting.

Fish and dragons circled and flew in the small bamboo forest, and jumped out of the fence in a blink of an eye, dotted with tall buildings and clouds.

As Xie Yan arranged, Yu Ci really didn't have any specific affairs before the Yi Bao Banquet started.Every day, I just use the spirit control method to feed the ichthyosaurs with my own vitality, and slowly make the little guy's scaly skin shiny and refreshed, and he clings to him more and more, and forgets what is in front of him. This is the chief culprit who made him lose his freedom, and he couldn't be driven away.

Staring at this lively little thing swimming in the void without any support, Yu Ci was quite envious, and he remembered Xie Yan's conclusion two days ago:

"Has he ever told you about his own 'Tao'? Certainly not, because he has long since lost his own 'Tao'. This fool, even if you give him a golden bone and a jade plate, how can you guarantee that he will Can you take the chance?"

Two days later, Yu Ci still remembered Xie Yan's appearance of hating iron but not steel.

"The way of the fish and dragon actually reflects the consistent spirit of the Demonstration Department, which is to extract the good laws of the world and use them, seeking to improve the state as soon as possible and obtain the reality of longevity. Use it for me and abandon it for those who are not good for me. Although it is extreme and ruthless, it is a real path. Compared with that person, he is far inferior, far inferior!"

Who is that man?Yu Ci didn't dare to ask.However, he understood some truths from Xie Yan's words: it is naturally difficult to understand only those general "Tao", but if it is replaced with "ideas", it is almost understandable.

It is precisely because of his lack of this kind of thing that his Yin spirit can't be finalized. It's just that this 'Tao', this 'idea', is there any reason to lose it?

Shaking his head, Yu Ci turned his gaze back to the fish and dragon.Even Xie Yan agrees with the "way of the fish and dragon", which seems to have some research value, but these few days together, Yu Ci really didn't feel any "chosen" essence from the little thing, but really felt that this guy He is a big eater who is extremely greedy.

In his view, ichthyosaurs are absorbing vitality from the outside world without restraint all the time, turning all of it into nutrients to grow their bodies, and they can only go in and out, like a bottomless abyss, throwing a big Stone, not even a sound can be heard.

Because he had to feed this guy with his own vitality, Yu Ci's rapid progress in practice since he became a Yin god was dragged down to almost nothing.

However, after feeding for several days, Yu Ci and the ichthyosaur also had some feelings, like sacrificial artifacts, they can give some simple instructions to the ichthyosaur within a limited range, and the ichthyosaur may not all obey , but the impact is obvious.This is one of the functions of the "spirit control method" given to him by Xie Yan, although it is useless.

Eight days later, the fish and dragon belonged to the Xinxin Pavilion.

At this moment, someone came up the stairs.With a cautious attitude, he stepped on the plush carpet and barely made a sound.

"Immortal Yu."

Yu Ci turned his head and saw that it was Geng Fu, the deacon of the Bairi Mansion who was in charge of running the Tianyi Tower. It was rare that his fat body of more than 200 jins could suppress the sound of walking so low.

There are dozens or even hundreds of deacons like Geng Fu in Bairi Mansion, who are responsible for managing various properties in the cliff city, which are equivalent to shopkeepers.They can't be called self-cultivation, but they are more like ordinary people, marrying wives and having children in the city, and earning money to support their families.

Because of this, Geng Fu actually doesn't have any feelings for the "big enemy" in the mansion, and he has a smooth personality, and he greets everyone with a smile. It is very appropriate for the Bairi Mansion to push him out.In the past two days, Yu Ci lingered on the Tianyi Building, and he almost became Yu Ci's housekeeper, and he did his best before and after running.

"Chang Yu, here is the list you want."

Geng Fu still had that extremely humble smiling face, and he took out the list of monks and basic information that had poured into the city in recent days, which were calculated by the Bairi Mansion under the name of asking whether they had participated in the Yi Bao Banquet, and handed over to him after the summary hand.

Yu Ci had a wrong impression before, that the Cliff City was an "isolated island" between the Duanjie Mountains and the Sky Rift Valley, an almost completely isolated city-state.Now he understands that in the eyes of monks in this world, the vast mountains and wilderness that move for thousands of miles are actually nothing, especially when there are lively things to join in, treasures to see, and bargains to pick up, all kinds of people from the three mountains and five mountains The characters will all appear on the stage.

The list shows that in the past month, there have been an increase of thirty or forty monks in the precipice city who have only attained a spiritual level or above.Most of them came for the Yibao Banquet, and the rest of them also stayed after hearing the news, ready to join in the fun.

From a security point of view, Yu Ci does not welcome this kind of people. This affects the limited protection of the precipice city, and there are mixed fish and dragons here. It is not ruled out that someone is eyeing the treasure brought by the Xinxin Pavilion caravan and wants to get it. Last vote.

Yu Ci didn't think much about it at first, but yesterday there was news that the caravan in the Xinxin Pavilion encountered a group of robbers with high strength, causing serious injuries to many people in the caravan, but the treasures they brought were not lost.

The... robbers in the practice world!

Yu Ci found that he had to lower his overall expectations for the world of practice again, which seemed to be not much different from the ordinary world he had seen in his 12 years of wandering.

Expressing emotion, he went through the list carefully.Bai Ri Mansion is not lazy, there is a concise introduction behind each person, so that he can get a general understanding of the characteristics of the visitor, of course, it is so detailed, maybe it is because the list will eventually be sent to Xie Yan. Xie Yan didn't deny it.

As he was watching, he suddenly heard a call.

"Ichthyosaur!"

Loud yelling came directly from downstairs, who knows who discovered the ichthyosaurus swimming in the air, and exclaimed in dismay.

As soon as the voice fell, a figure climbed over the railing on the third floor and rushed up.

Yu Ci frowned, but light suddenly shone on the periphery of the fourth floor. This was a restriction placed at the beginning of the building's construction, to distinguish the top floor from the lower three floors and classify them into grades.However, this kind of prohibition is only symbolic, and it is a typical example of guarding against gentlemen but not against villains.The visitor laughed, easily broke through the outer barrier, jumped over the top fence, and jumped into the Cloud Bamboo Garden.

The ichthyosaur was frightened, and slammed into the bamboo shadow screen and hid.

The one who jumped up had a very casual posture, and didn't have the self-consciousness of coming uninvited.Looking at the exquisite scenery of Yunzhu Garden, he clicked his tongue twice: "No wonder this place is tightly sealed. It turns out to be a good place... Hey, is that fish and dragon yours? Make an offer, let's buy it and sell it!"

The visitor's gaze finally shifted to Yu Ci's face.At this time, Yu Ci was still sitting leaning against the railing, and his face did not change. Seeing the face and temperament of the visitor, and the clothes and clothes were somewhat foreign, he took the list to compare:

"Sha Cong?"

The visitor was startled: "Do you recognize me?"

Yu Ci smiled slightly, but before he responded, someone laughed at the stairs: "Lao Sha, you don't look like a guest when you come in without warning."

While talking, this one who also came uninvited, parted from the bamboo forest screen and walked over slowly.He has a medium build, fair skin, and always smiles on his face, which makes people feel bad.What is more peculiar is that he is dressed in a black robe, but he is holding a fat lion cat in his arms. The snow-white fur of the big cat matches the black clothes, which is really eye-catching.

Seeing the image of this person, Yu Ci didn't even need to look at the list.He was quite impressed with the first place above:

"Zhao Zi said."

"Meow!"

The big cat in the crook of the visitor's arms let out a soft cry, and then yawned.In the narrowed eyes, one yellow and one blue light of different colors flashed.
