Chapter 456 Medicine City
"Wow, what a beautiful armor!"

"I think these female soldiers are more beautiful!"

"Sister Shiting, look quickly, there are many patterns engraved on it!"

"Well, I saw it! It seems to be specially designed for these girls."

"Where is this armor? It's simply a top-level work of art!"

"Oh, I don't know if there are any for sale in this city, I want to buy one too!"

"Uncle, shall we go up and have a look too?" Looking at the excited Xiao Ka and Lin Shiting from a distance, Liu Yun smiled and said to Lao Ka beside him.

"Let's go, I hope I can make some new discoveries." Lao Ka nodded, and his eyes fell on the group of female soldiers tens of meters ahead.

After a group of people walked along the street leading to the center of the city for about half an hour, this group of female soldiers came into their sight.The golden armor, shining brilliantly under the sunlight, immediately attracted everyone's attention.And those female soldiers, under the cover of their armor, were even more heroic and glamorous.When Liu Yun and the others stopped to look at the team from a distance, Lin Shiting and Xiao Ka had already rushed up excitedly, discussing around the group of female soldiers.

"To be honest, this is the most suitable armor for girls I have found so far, and it is also the best armor for girls to wear!" Lin Shiting stood in front of a female soldier with little stars in her eyes. , imagining how he would look in armor.

"Sister Shiting, if you wear it, you will definitely be more beautiful. Someone will definitely be fascinated by you, hehe." Xiaoka nodded in agreement, while flattering Lin Shiting.Of course, his eyes kept wandering over those female soldiers.With his height, he can just see the big spring that the designer of the armor deliberately exposed in order to fully bloom the femininity.This is the real reason why he is full of praise for this armor.

"I don't know how much it costs! Such beautiful clothes must be very expensive." Lin Shiting sighed softly.Women have a natural desire to shop, and they basically have no resistance to the temptation brought by beautiful clothes.When the two are superimposed, their IQs can easily be cleared.Just like Lin Shiting now, she completely forgot that she was in a still city.

"Sister Shiting, I didn't hit you, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy this armor!" Xiaoka said, shaking his head.

"Your sister can't even afford a piece of clothing?" Lin Shiting gave him an annoyed look.

"I'm afraid we can't even afford it." Xiaoka said shaking his head, "I just discovered that this kind of armor seems to be made of gold. The few gold coins we brought are not enough!"

"Impossible!" Lin Shiting categorically denied Xiaoka's words, "At most it's gold-plated, who would use gold to make armor! Not to mention spending money, wearing a set of gold armor on the back will exhaust you to death , can you still fight?"

"Sister Shiting, how can you doubt the vision of a great magician?" Xiaoka said helplessly, "Not long after I was born, I have been dealing with these things all day long, can I still get it wrong? Look carefully , this set of battle armor is actually very thin, it doesn't need too much gold, and it won't be very heavy. But this kind of superb craftsmanship determines that this kind of battle armor must be very valuable!"

Lin Shiting couldn't help being startled when she heard the words, and walked around a female soldier twice, looking carefully at her.Finally, she said weakly: "It seems that what you said makes sense. But I still want to wear it!"

"Actually, I want to see you wear it too!" Xiao Ka stared at the exposed slender legs of the female soldier and sighed softly.

"You little brat!" Lin Shiting slammed Xiaoka's head hard.

"Tingting, Xiaoka is right. I'm afraid you can't afford this kind of armor. It's indeed made of gold, and it's quite delicate." Old Ka's voice came from behind.

"Come on, hand over your wallet, and I'll see how much private money you have." Liu Yun stretched out his hand towards Lin Shiting jokingly.

With a crisp "crack", Lin Shiting raised her hand and slapped Liu Yun, and said bitterly, "Anyway, I want it. You have to buy it for me even if you go bankrupt."

Liuyun smiled when he heard the words, stepped forward a few steps, walked up to a female soldier, and stretched out her claws: "How about I peel one off for you right now?"

"Don't!" Lin Shiting was startled, "If you move her, won't she turn into dust?"

Liu Yun shrugged his shoulders as if nothing had happened: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I only rob her of money, not her sex."

"The beauty of tragedy is to tear up the beautiful things in front of us, so as to produce a kind of beauty of heartbreak." Xiao Ka threw out a sentence he had just learned from Yang Ming, which provoked Lin Shiting What a big white eye.

After coming here, Lao Ka, who has been studying the armor of the female soldiers, suddenly pointed to the armor and said, "Xiaoyun, come and take a look."

Liu Yun followed the old card's finger and looked over: there were faint scratches in the golden piece, and the scratches vaguely formed a certain pattern along a certain pattern.Liu Yun got closer and finally saw it. It was a half-discovered six-pointed star pattern.

"See clearly?" Old Ka asked.

"Yes. A six-pointed star pattern." Liu Yun nodded.He could see clearly, but he had no idea what these patterns represented, so he raised his head, looked at Lao Ka, and waited for his next words.

"Why, don't you think it looks familiar?" Lao Ka frowned.

Liu Yun shook his head blankly.

"Master Priseli, during the battle between you and Ming Luo's magician..."

Before Lao Ka finished speaking, a flash of light flashed in Liu Yun's mind.

"Yes, of course those magicians also made such a pattern!" he said loudly.

"Yes, and more than once." Lao Ka nodded, "This is the legendary magic circle! I didn't expect to see it here again!"

"But what's the connection? Could it be that the magicians under Ming Luo have something to do with what happened here?" Liu Yun asked.

"I have fought against them before, how could they have this ability! I don't think there is any necessary connection between the two. It's just this magic circle..." Lao Ka hesitated to speak, bowed his head and continued to study.

"Uncle, what the hell is a magic circle?" Liu Yun asked impatiently.

"Actually, I don't know either." Lao Ka replied with his head buried. "According to the few records in the Blue Moon Magic Book, I know that there is a magic circle. But this is a magic skill with a long history. The caster will Its mana is injected with some mysterious magic patterns, thus producing a brand-new magic. No one knows what these magic circles are and what their effects are. The magic circles used by the magicians in Priseli City can be said to be It is a magic that quickly gathers and increases magic power, and these engraved on the armor, I think there should be some kind of defensive ability."

Liu Yun couldn't help but fell into deep thought when he heard the words.The initial appearance of the magic circle did not attract his attention.But when they reappeared in this still city, he had to pay attention to them.He felt that Ming Luo's appearance was like a thread, pulling out a mess.And when he led his troops out to sea, away from the blue moon, and headed for the mainland of Standing, he embarked on a road full of unknowns.Encountering this still city and discovering the existence of the mysterious "God" is like a curtain that has been lifted by him.How many secrets are still undiscovered, how many mysterious powers are still hidden in this world?

"The current discovery doesn't seem to be of much help to us, but one thing is certain." Lao Ka stopped his research and raised his head.

"Oh?" Liu Yun responded softly.

"I'm afraid this city has been imprisoned for many years, maybe even as far back as the era when there were magic circles everywhere!" Lao Ka said solemnly, "I found in the battle armor that in addition to the hexagram-shaped magic circle, there are also magic circles. There are several unknown patterns engraved. If the guess is correct, it is also some kind of magic circle. Therefore, these seemingly thin battle armor must have strong physical and magical defense capabilities!"

After leaving the patrolling female soldiers, the group continued to walk forward, while Lao Ka and Liu Yun talked from time to time.The mood of both of them is very restless, the former is because of glimpse into the wider magical world, while the latter is full of worries about the future.

"Uncle, what do you mean, that so-called god should have existed in a long time ago?"

"Just judging from the time magic that he imprisoned this city, which I have never heard of, it should be. Moreover, the patterns on those golden armors also confirm this speculation from the side. What happened in those ancient times, just Like a group of fans, it has an amazing attraction for me."

"It's just a mass of fascination, it's afraid it's a black hole! Then it will swallow us all, and there won't even be a bit of bone residue." Liu Yun sighed angrily.

"You kid, why have you become less courageous after you have experienced many things?" Old Ka rolled his eyes strangely and scolded.

Liu Yun smiled wryly and said: "Uncle, I have been dancing on the tip of the knife! If you hadn't been careful all the way, you would have given away a white-haired person to a black-haired person long ago, and grass should have grown on my grave. Besides, Look at the brothers around me, look at Linger, Feilei and Naya, have you lived a stable life with me for a few days? Until now, I don't even know where Naya is!"

"Boss, it's okay if you're tired. Let's endure it again, and when your second spring comes like uncle, you'll be full of energy again!" Xiaoka said in a low voice.

"Why are you complaining now, brat? You are wandering in this kind of place now, and you are surrounded by beautiful women. You are content!" Lao Ka glanced back at Lin Shiting, who was looking around, and said dissatisfiedly, "This old bone of mine If it’s going to be thrown here, I don’t know where your aunt will pick it up for me!”

Liuyun couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Uncle, I just posted it accidentally. I will definitely find a way to get you out of here! Now that I have embarked on this road, I will go to the end. I haven't found Na in a day. Ya, even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu can’t stop me from moving forward!”

In the words, a kind of soaring pride swept away the initial depression.

"Who is the Heavenly King Laozi?" Xiaoka asked puzzled.

"It's bigger than a god anyway." Liu Yun replied.

"Xiaoyun, why do you suddenly have so many emotions?"

"Because I've always had a bad premonition. Do you still remember how I was fooled by that old guy Huo Wu into the muddy water of the Blood God Sect in the Elven Forest? There is even bigger muddy water waiting for me!"

"But, even if he doesn't fool you, you can't escape."

"Yeah, that's why I also dripped in the end. It's just that everything we encounter now is far beyond our imagination, and it's beyond our ability to handle it. In this space where time is still, my chief Great magician, didn’t you also get blinded?”

"... That's why I have to work hard to pursue the mysteries of magic! Don't laugh at me, kid, be careful I'll beat you to the teeth! And you, Kaka!"

"..."

Gradually, the road came to an end, and in the center of the city, a huge square appeared in front of everyone.

Standing on the edge of the square, everyone was silent.

When people are in extreme shock and surprise, silence becomes the best way to express their emotions.

In the center of the square is a high platform made of pure white jade.The height and width of the high platform are 20 meters away, and a huge cyan bronze tripod is placed on each of the four corners, and the bronze tripod is shining in the sun.In the middle of the platform is a sculpture.The base of the sculpture is a grass with seven leaves. Each leaf is more than [-] meters long. It stretches into the air like an arm, holding a giant red fruit firmly in the sky.The most unbelievable thing is that the seven leaves are thick at the bottom, but gradually become thinner as the veins extend into the air, until the tip of the leaf is only as thick as an ordinary person's little finger.But just these few "little fingers" gently lifted the "fruit" that seemed to weigh at least tens of tons.

Around the high platform, there are several large fountains. The high water mist forms a beautiful picture scroll in the air, covering the whole high platform in misty rain, and the fruit in the air seems to be flying in the clouds.

Fountains are common things for Liu Yun who has two lifetimes of experience, but for Lao Ka and others from Blue Moon Continent, they are rare things in his life.

The buildings around the square are quite different from other places.After entering the city, everyone felt that the buildings in this still city were more exquisite and delicate than those in the Blue Moon Continent, and the difference in other places was not much different.But after looking at the buildings around the square, the gap suddenly became apparent.Whether it's architectural technology, design level, layout method, or craftsmanship, they all far surpass today's Blue Moon Continent.An ordinary house looks more imposing, gorgeous and refined than Huoyun's palace.For a moment, Liu Yun even had a hallucination, feeling like he was in a bustling metropolis in the west.

"Those spraying water mist, are they magic?" Lao Ka first paid attention to the fountains like water magic.

"Does it need to be said, or the water can go to the sky?" Xiaoka replied.

"It turns out that magic can be so beautiful!" Lin Shiting couldn't help cheering, if Liuyun didn't pull her, she would definitely rush into the mist.

"That's not magic. That's a fountain." Liu Yun said softly.

"Fountain?" Cam looked confused.

"You seem to know everything, but in fact you don't understand anything." Lao Ka taught him a lesson.

"Don't you understand?" Xiaoka retorted depressingly.

"Of course I understand. A fountain is a spectacle formed by spring water spraying out from the ground. Under this square, there must be many springs, so this kind of landscape is formed. These people really know how to choose places!" Lao Ka smugly Said.

Liu Yun didn't bother to explain.It was hard for him to believe that he could explain the principle of the fountain to this group of people within an hour or two.Even if the explanation is clear, I don't know how many problems that need to be explained.

"Brother Liuyun, look at that sculpture, I really don't know how they were built! No matter how light they are, those few finger-thin leaves can't bear the big fruit on it. Besides, if there is a wind or something, say Maybe it will be blown away! Aren't you afraid of falling and hitting someone?" Lin Shiting looked at the high platform, full of worry.

"They have mastered the most critical technology, that is balance." Liu Yun explained with a smile.He had no way to explain in more detail, so he had to answer casually.This sculpture, in his eyes, has already involved many problems in physics, but the builders here have solved these problems reasonably, which really shocked him.

Lin Shiting nodded with a vague understanding.

"What is that red fruit in the sky?" she asked again.

Liu Yun's gaze stayed on the sculpture in the center of the square for a long time before he said slowly: "I don't know too well, but it must have extraordinary significance to this city."

At this moment, he thought of the totem worship of some ancient nations.The sculpture in the center of the square seems to be one of them.

"This city has a lot of mystery." Lao Ka sighed leisurely as his eyes fell on the copper tripods at the four corners of the high platform.

"Yes!" Liu Yun nodded.Looking at the huge sculpture in front of him, the fountain next to the high platform, and the gorgeous and exquisite buildings around the square, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

The magic of time has preserved this city of an unknown age intact, leaving a window for him to understand the history of this world, and it also made him understand one thing: whether it is the Blue Moon Continent or the Standing Continent, there was once a There have been splendid and brilliant civilizations.People in previous lives have always debated whether civilization advances in a spiral shape or develops in twists and turns.One point of view is that although there have been countless wars in the history of human development, which have caused huge damage to civilization, society has always been progressing. In a sense, war is also the driving force for the advancement of human society.Another point of view is that human civilization always develops to a certain stage and is completely destroyed by war, and then returns to the original point again and starts from scratch.That is to say, human beings have created a brilliant civilization with their industrious nature, and then destroyed it with their bad humanity.It is precisely because of this that there are various relics of prehistoric civilizations and various wonders that cannot be explained by later generations of science.

Liu Yun has always been in favor of the former point of view, but now more and more inclined to the latter view.The level of architecture and craftsmanship of the Blue Moon Continent today is obviously inferior to that of this imprisoned city, and the magic circle and time magic that appeared in this city have long since disappeared in the magic world of the Blue Moon Continent, which fully demonstrates the strength of the Blue Moon Continent. Civilization lags behind that age.This point proves from the side that the Millennium War that caused havoc to the Blue Moon Civilization was not a fabled legend.And today's Standing Continent, judging from what he learned from Hailun's mouth, is only slightly better than Blue Moon, then Standing Continent may have the same experience as Blue Moon Continent.

When Liu Yun and the others were looking around the square, apart from Zi Wencheng, several search teams were dispatched to arrive at the center of the square one after another from all directions of the city.

"They're all refining medicine?" After listening to Yang Ming, Tie Lie and others' reports, Liu Yun's eyes fell on the copper tripods at the four corners of the high platform.

"Yes, boss, every household is refining medicine." Yang Ming said.

"Other than this, it is no different from other cities, and I haven't found anything suspicious," Shui Han added.

"So, what do you think?" Liu Yun asked.

Yang Ming, Tie Lie, Shui Han and the others didn't answer, they got together and started discussing in low voices.

In the end, Yang Ming stood up and replied on behalf of everyone: "Our opinion is that the problem should lie in the medicine."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

Encouraged, Yang Ming boldly said: "After we went ashore, we found that many occupations in this city are held by women. Such a situation is impossible in other places. During our search, we found that Well, every family in the city is refining medicine, and those who are engaged in refining medicine are all young and middle-aged men. This not only explains the strange phenomenon we have seen, but also shows that refining medicine is the most important job in the entire city. As for the effect of the refined medicine and what it is used for, we don’t know, but it must be closely related to what happened to this city.”

"Is there anything else?" Liu Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Thinking about the words at the gate of the city - City of God's Punishment, we can boldly assume whether the medicine made by the people here violated the interests of this god, or threatened him , or it aroused his interest, which is why this accident happened." Yang Ming continued.

"In this city, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, which is abnormal." Ji Feng, who was born as a killer, is more likely to notice some subtleties.

Hearing Ji Feng's words, Liu Yun couldn't help being surprised: Could it be that these handsome men and beauties were all cultivated by drugs?If that's the case, the achievements of the people here in the research of medicine can be described as quite astonishing!
"Look at the sculpture in the center of the city. It is also made of copper tripods and medicinal materials. I think our analysis should be correct." Shui Han said.

Lao Ka, who had been listening attentively, interrupted easily: "Your ideas make sense. But how to explain that he just used a time magic to imprison the city?"

Lao Ka's question stunned several people.

"I guess he's not free!" Liu Yun said lightly.

Who can easily find the truth about what happened in the long river of history?
"Why does that fruit look so familiar?" Tie Lie looked at the sky and suddenly gasped.

"It does look familiar." Yang Ming took a closer look.

"Have you ever seen this kind of fruit?" Liu Yun asked in surprise.

"I feel like I've seen it before, but I can't remember..." Tie Lie thought while scratching his ears.

"Of course we have seen it before, but the model is much smaller." Yang Ming seems to have remembered.However, after thinking of this incident, he felt a little hairy in his heart.

"Where did you see it?" Liu Yun hurriedly asked.

"Boss, the fruit the big guy eats is a miniature version of this thing!" Yang Ming sighed.

"No way?" Liu Yun was shocked.Since this is a city that mainly refines medicine, the fruit on the sculpture is absolutely unacceptable.

"Yes, yes! Of course he still has a bunch in his bosom, and he even took it out to show us, and he proudly said that the taste is pretty good!" Tie Lie nodded repeatedly.

Liu Yun's head suddenly became as big as a bucket.He suddenly remembered the big trouble caused by the monkey and the greedy pig eating ginseng fruit by mistake in "Journey to the West".This fruit is probably much more important than the ginseng fruit that can only be used as a fruit snack, and perhaps also much more terrifying.

"Where are the remaining fruits?" Liu Yun asked feebly.

"According to his brothers, after he was punished by you, he swallowed his whole brain when he got angry." Yangming replied weakly.

"...very good." Liu Yun snorted coldly, "I hope he can digest it!"

"Big man, you can only ask for blessings!" The captains were so frightened that they dared not make a sound, and they didn't even dare to talk about Zi Wencheng's abnormal situation.

"Fortunately, this is a dead city." Liu Yun looked around with a wry smile, and couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, "Where's that greedy pig?"

"Boss, the members of several teams are back, and his team is the only one missing. They should be back soon!" Shui Han replied cautiously.

A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Liu Yun's heart: Zi Wencheng might have had an accident!
"Send someone to look for it!" Liu Yun roared angrily.
