"Then 'Bai Yan' is destined to only exist for a short time in Chang'an, right?"

Looking at him, Luo Lizhi felt a little joy in her heart.

Pressing her hand on her heart, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, evoking a heart-warming and pitiful arc.

"When I was young, my aunt came back occasionally and would tell me stories about the anecdotes and strange things she encountered in traveling all over China."

"At that time, I remember she said that someone told her that the name is actually a kind of 'contract', a very special contract that carries memories and emotions. It connects people and people's hearts."

"Li Shun, I like this name very much, it sounds nice, but I don't know much about Li Shun, what kind of person he is, where he has been, what kind of past he has...I don't know."

"As for Bai Yan, I know a little more about it. He fought against the enemy and worked with me in Chang'an, helped me a lot, and even saved my life. I still call him little brother, but in fact he is better than me. Still a year younger."

Luo Lizhi chuckled:

"Well, it does look a bit like a pet somewhere, but... just treat it as a little bit of my greed, okay?"

The heaviness and depression in her heart became much lighter with this confession, and her expression became lively again.

Li Shun changed from being indifferent at first to being at a loss.

Luanniao's sincerity touched him inexplicably.

He didn't know how to respond, but luckily he knew he should.

"Good." So he said.

Chapter 120 Five Tengu·Tan

Outside the city of Dead Sea Ruins, there is a barren wilderness that is pitch black and the border cannot be seen at a glance.

The entire Chang'an underground space is a lifeless land. The ground here is connected in large chunks, and there is no loose broken soil. It is hard and rigid when stepped on, without any real sense of soil.

Perhaps something has grown here, but now even the traces have disappeared, leaving only loneliness and emptiness.

Putting on a disguise and wearing a black robe, the three of Li Shun marched in the wilderness.

According to the location given by Zhou Zhuo, after leaving the city and heading north for about a quarter of an hour, few figures began to appear in the field of vision.

There were about three or five people scattered in front and back, all in the same direction, and they didn't greet each other. These should be the "players" of the competition tonight, and Li Shun followed.

Not long after, the field of vision began to become hazy, and fog gradually formed in the air. This fog was not a misty white, nor a dangerous black, but a heavy, depressing, faint gray that was not obvious.

As he walked deeper and deeper, the fog became thicker, and the visible distance shortened sharply.

Fortunately, a few minutes later, the fog on the road was no longer so thick, everyone's vision recovered somewhat, and they could gradually see the whole picture of the ruins emerging from the fog.

This is a ruin similar to a stronghold or a settlement. The reason why it is not considered a city is because its scale is far smaller than the huge Dead Sea Ruins City. At a glance, it is clear that the Dead Sea Ruins City used to be able to handle tens of thousands of people. Big Macs, which can only be counted as a few football fields at best.

However, at a glance here, it is clear that it is related to the Dead Sea Ruins City. The whole body is pitch black, and its material and structure are similar to those of the Dead Sea Ruins City. The wall seems to be telling some distant legend.

After expanding his field of vision, Li Shun saw Zhou Zhuo, who was surrounded by two tall ghostly weapons and wearing a red background and black robe.

Although they are all shrouded in black robes, the figure of the ghost weapon is much larger than ordinary people and monsters, and it can be recognized at a glance.

At this time, Zhou Zhuo was standing on a high point of a relatively complete ruin, with his back facing the site temporarily invisible from the south.

This high point looks like a pillar of a church, or a beam of a palace. It is made of granite, and it is about ten meters bare. There is no place to rely on.

Li Shun's eyes have always been sharp. He saw several strange cone-shaped depressions on the pillars, which should be the handwriting of ghost tools. Zhou Zhuo himself is also super-level, and he doesn't have the strength to easily go up to high places.

Zhou Zhuo has been following the two ghost machines, one is Qingtian and the other is Zhentian. They are the most powerful of all ghost machines. Although they are not flexible enough, according to Zhou Zhuo, the two machines are even It can reach the middle of the forbidden position, and through the two machines to issue orders, it can mobilize all the ghost equipment troops in Luoma City.

This is not a problem for the three of Li Shun, not to mention the natural flying phoenix and the civet cat flying over the eaves and walls, even Li Shun, this height is not in his eyes.

The undisguised sound of footsteps landing alarmed Zhou Zhuo. Once he regained consciousness, he was terrified at first, and then immediately bent down and flattered: "Master Walking, you are here. The villain has been waiting for a long time."

Li Shun hummed, and tried to quickly observe the nearby terrain, but the thick gray fog completely blocked Li Shun's sight. It would be fine if he turned on the Xinghuo pupil, but he was not that urgent, and he didn't intend to show it in front of Zhou Zhuo. More.

"What is this place?" He asked lightly.

"The venue for tonight's competition should be a stronghold similar to an outpost or an acropolis, but the interior is damaged and it is old. I don't know what it is. Perhaps only the big shots above know."

Zhou Zhuo explained:

"It is known that there are four ruins communities like this outside the ruins city, distributed in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest. We are in the No. 2 area. I think [Tan] chose this place because she should be there. Consideration may be a targeted preparation for the Oblivion Sect."

"Tan?"

"It's the host of the middle contact competition this time."

"It's a character." Li Shun nodded, "Which side is it?"

"Yuan Yaojie. She is a tengu monster. Tengu is a subordinate race of the [ghost] clan in the four towns. The one with the highest authority among the personnel is Tan."

Yuan Yaojie.

Sure enough, Yuan Yaojie also got involved.

Li Shun is both unfamiliar and familiar with this term.

It is strange because he has never been to this place where thousands of monsters gather, which only exists in legends, and it is familiar because Li Shun has seen many visitors from the Yuan Yao world over the years, each one is more rebellious than the other, and they all died under his knife There are more than a dozen of them, and the closest one is [Bird of Prey] Du Dafeng.

There is a conceptual separation between Yuan Yaojie and Shenzhou. To put it bluntly, Shenzhou has sealed Yuan Yaojie. If there is no special channel to communicate between the two realms, there have been only a few stowaways in the past hundred years.

The reason for the seal is said to be due to the devastation of the war. The Yuan Demon Realm is already riddled with holes, which is even worse than Ximingjing, which was destroyed by the war and turned into ruins. A worthless underling who has a strong resentment and hatred towards Shenzhou.

There are also some unofficial officials and unofficial historians claiming that in the battle of the end of the night, the two sides used certain weapons of mass destruction that harmed peace and directly turned the Yuan Demon Realm into a piece of scorched earth that continuously released pollution. The decision to isolate the Yuan Demon Realm.

In short, countless rumors of demonization and deformity have been circulating around the Yuan Yao Realm for more than a hundred years. Not to mention Li Shun, most people in China will not and have no idea of ​​going to the Yuan Demon Realm.

Of course, Li Shun is very clear that Shenzhou and Yuan Yaojie have never really completely severed contact. found in the demon world.

Otherwise, why have there been so many smugglers from the Yuan Demon Realm since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present?And now there is a sky city Chang'an, a platform that connects the two worlds in an open and aboveboard manner.

If Li Shun wants to go to the Yuan Demon Realm, he doesn't even need to go through Chang'an, just find Xu Miaoyun. Kaiyuan Xu once helped his father go to the Yuan Demon Realm, and then his father started killing in the Yuan Demon Realm.

In the past, Li Shun didn't have much demand for information on the Yuan Yao Realm, so he didn't have a systematic understanding of it. However, he still learned about the general situation through the words and phrases revealed by Yingnv.

The Yuan Yao Realm does not have the Zhengshuo regime that dominates China like the Zhiye Mansion. The Ye Kingdom is the last madness of the monster population. At the peak of the country's most powerful momentum, the soldiers almost overwhelmed the entire China, and all the old orders were destroyed. Humans and mixed blood Trembling under the iron hoof.

After the Kingdom of Ye was destroyed, no one had the ability to unite the remaining monsters in the Yuan Yao Realm. Therefore, since the Ming Dynasty, the ecology of the Yuan Monster Realm has returned to its original state. It takes more.

After rounds of struggles for survival of the fittest, the strong named [Four Towns] finally stood at the pinnacle of the Yuan Yao Realm.

[Four Towns] refers to both the four king-ranked monsters and the races to which the four monarch-ranked monsters belong. They are snakes, ghosts, jiaos, and pengs.

Especially among them is the Peng family, who were the leaders of the birds of prey back then, and the core decision-making members of the Ye Kingdom. Their strength is strong and their roots are deep.

The ghost clan is also a very ferocious group. Its innate supernatural power and ability to perform spells are recognized as fierce generals by all monster groups. About [-]% of the main generals of the night kingdom are pure blood/hybrid blood of the ghost clan.

"Look, she's right there." Zhou Zhuo pointed to the distance.

On a high point diagonally across from Li Shiji, more than [-] meters away, a nimble figure is appearing, wearing a red mask with a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of black wings on the back. Although she has short hair, her physical signs are obviously female. , she is overlooking the field at this time.

Unlike Li Shun who didn't have Xinghuo pupils, she seemed to be able to see clearly.

Even though there was such a long distance, the Tengu named Tan seemed to feel Li Shun's gaze, raised his head here for a moment, and nodded slightly to Li Shun.

"Control the wind."

Li Shun motioned to An Su.

Not seeing how An Su moved, the wind pressure around the four of them suddenly became violent and chaotic.

"Will she end?" Li Shun asked.

"The villain doesn't know..."

"Forget it, you step back."

That's all the information Zhou Zhuo could give. Although he is the deputy mayor of Luoma City and knows the details of the ghost market, his position is too low and his vision is limited, so he can't make any valuable judgments.

Li Shun's thoughts turned, and he recalled the information about the four towns, the ghost clan and the tengu in the monster catalog.

At this moment, An Su asked in a low voice:

"what happened?"

"That Tan is the [Crow Tengu] among the Tengus, the main scout unit of the ghost army in the Battle of the Night Sky, and a natural expert in wind control. He can control and manipulate the wind area with a radius of hundreds of meters without disturbing the wind. No matter how softly we speak here, she can hear us."

"The forbidden position can be hundreds of meters?" Luo Lizhi asked in surprise.

It is said that the limit range of her mental power can reach nearly 50 meters, and the normal radius is about [-] meters, which is already a large range. This is because of the special nature of mental power.

"Hundreds of meters, this is a racial talent, cats still have nine lives."

Li Shun nodded and did not forget to tease An Su, saying:

"Tengu is far from being as simple as Zhou Zhuo said. It is a kind of monster with high potential. Its talent has inherent advantages in the field of field. The king's tengu's palace is extremely powerful, and its strength is far beyond that of ordinary kings."

"The Tengu and the Ghost Clan are indeed subordinates, but the Ghost Clan was almost killed and injured in the Yetian battle, and the Tengu has a strong reproductive ability. This means that a hundred years later, the Ghost Clan is likely to be eliminated by the Tengu."

"The Yatengu's single-winged feathers exceed [-], which is the throne. I can't see her feathers clearly. Even if it is not, it is not far away. If this person ends up, plus Dong Pingchuan, today will be more difficult .”

When Li Shun said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, when Li Shun blurted out the words Dong Pingchuan, the indifferent Huanguangjiao Xingshuai jumped out of the thick fog below, and then glanced at Li Shun.

Chapter 120 Six

Inside the settlement of ruins shrouded in dense fog, the "players" have already gathered.

Surrounding the deep gray fog that cannot be seen with the naked eye below, there are four high points.

Li Shun, An Su, Luo Lizhi, Zhou Zhuo and two ghost weapons, all dressed in black and red robes occupy a place, which is Tianshiyuan.

Dong Pingchuan, who was wearing a half-face mask to hide his face, occupied a place with two men in gray robes. This was the Obliteration Sect.

Yatengu Tan and several well-built masked men in black costumes occupy a place. These are the four townsmen who gathered for this competition.

In the last place stood a man and a woman dressed in white clothes without any distinguishing features, and their faces were also concealed.

Not surprisingly, this is a person from [Company].

That's right, it's the one Li Shun knew, who almost captured him as a slave ten years ago, and then disappeared in Shenzhou, and adjusted the [company] of Xia Shihan and other senior service personnel with the imprint of the spirit array.

Li Shun had already figured out the overall structure and power structure of the ghost market from Zhou Zhuo.

Chang'an Ghost Market is divided into Luoma City, Mountain City, and Mirage. Luoma City is mainly engaged in human trafficking, training, and brainwashing services. Mountain City is for arms, espionage, and prohibited resources. Sexual prohibited drugs, dangerous forbidden techniques, stolen goods, buying murder and other transactions.

The daily operations of the ghost market, such as maintenance of order, keeping secrets, and approval of transaction qualifications, are all in the charge of Tian Shiyuan. Deputy, responsible for handling specific affairs.

Zhou Zhuo is the deputy of Luoma City. He is in charge of the Ghost Equipment Troop and is mainly responsible for public security and operation and maintenance.

Tianshiyuan will pick up the goods in bulk from all suppliers at the price agreed in advance by the upper management, and then uniformly schedule the transaction, and then divide the profits obtained according to the agreed proportion. The exchange of interests between the nine executives exists in this part.

In addition, there are free transactions between various external forces and all kinds of ghosts and snake gods, which also account for a considerable amount of transactions.

Tianshiyuan will draw a certain amount of handling fees from these transactions that are not in the plan, both buyers and sellers must pay, and even charge extra fees for some ghost market customers and traders, etc. The means of profit are very complicated.

Tianshiyuan provides the transaction scene, while other aspects are mainly responsible for the supply. All the steps of receiving, transporting, and finishing are completed outside the ghost market, and only transactions are here.

At the same time, they are obliged to keep the secrets of the ghost market. If they are found to have an impact on the secrecy of the ghost market many times, they will be fined and their participation qualifications will be revoked.

As for the Yuan Yaojie, because of its internal system, it was relatively messy until a few years ago. They were the biggest source of secrecy problems, and part of the ghost market's information was basically leaked because of them.

Later, Sizhen learned from the pain, so the team headed by Yatengu Tan unified the supply channels of Yuan Yaojie.

The Shenzhou side is different. For a long time, the [company] with strict organization and strong execution has been centrally dispatched and connected, and there have been basically no problems.

The reason why the company is called a company is because it is not a product of a single force, and there are multiple shareholders behind it. At Zhou Zhuo's level, he still cannot know the details of the company.

However, Li Shun has already speculated about the company's affairs.

According to the information given by Su Xingliu, there are generally two camps within the council, namely local forces and foreign forces.

The local forces are the Sanyuan faction, and the foreign forces are divided into the Shenzhou/Yuan Yaojie factions. That is to say, among the nine executives of the council, there is actually a three-party struggle.

Because the three parties have obvious differences in positions, there must be considerable disagreements in the distribution of benefits and the choice of methods, but the overall interest demands are the same, and they all use Chang'an to grab greater benefits.

In addition, there is the threat of foreign enemies such as the star field official room, so it can maintain a state of fighting without breaking for a long time, and appear as a whole with the "overlord council".

As a sun hunter, Li Shun, besides the shadow girl Xu Miaoyun, has also mastered the guild's sun-level intelligence channel for a long time, but he decided to cut it off from the guild and no longer use it.

Even though for his own reasons, he always only pays attention to the mission goals and related information related to his own safety, and does not make unnecessary inquiries, but with his rich experience since he entered the industry, there are still very few things in Shenzhou that he is completely unclear about. Even the sporadic cases of [Taishan Club] have been heard.

Therefore, the appearance of the three corpse gods made him quite vigilant.
