Chapter 655: Young and Old
The fairy city of Wangchuan.
As soon as Sun Lingtong passed the city gate, he was stopped.
"I am the guide officer. First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the inspection of the evil mirror and entering the Wangchuan Immortal City."
"As long as you pass the city gate, you will be a new member of our Wangchuan Fairy City!"
The usher was a middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face: "First, I will give you the jade tokens to enter the city."
He handed a jade token to Sun Lingtong, the old man and others.
Sun Lingtong took the jade token and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and he understood the details: this jade token was very ordinary, just a crudely made magic weapon used to indicate one's identity.
The leading official said: "It is not easy for you to join Wangchuan Fairy City. This jade token is a brand new starting point. Everything in the past can disappear into thin air. Here, you can adopt a new name and start over."
"Of course, you can use the original name."
"There is just one thing. You can only engrave it once on the jade plaque. Once it is named, it cannot be changed."
Sun Lingtong and others listened carefully without saying anything.
The guide continued, "After your names are engraved, you can take the jade tokens and go to the fire granary and other places to receive the supplies for cultivation one by one."
"These supplies may vary depending on individual circumstances, so don't be surprised."
"The spiritual practice resources you can receive are the most."
At this point, the guide looked at Sun Lingtong, and the smile on his face widened a little: "Here are a few visiting cards. They are from some important figures in our fairy city. They want to make friends with good people like you, so they specially gave them to the previous guides."
Sun Lingtong knew that she was benefiting from Ning Zhuo's mother again.
Under the mirror of evil, he was illuminated by colorful clouds and blue-white light, showing the life and character of a good man. As soon as he entered the city, he was treated with courtesy and courtesy.
But Sun Lingtong did not accept the invitation: "Isn't it just because I'm a good person that I'm treated like this?"
"I'm curious, what do these people want to seek?"
The leading officer first praised Sun Lingtong's clarity of mind, and then explained: "This has to do with the policy of our Wangchuan Immortal City."
"Anyone who wishes to enter the Immortal City must undergo the test of the Mirror of Evil."
"According to the results of the test, there are several levels. The worst ones have a trace of black blood, and need to do hard labor, wash away the sins, and then be examined."
"The middle level is the turbid light. Although they have sins, they are not serious, and they have good intentions and the desire to correct their sins. When such newcomers enter the city, they will be supervised by the Purification Department and perform more labor tasks to cleanse their karma. When they have accumulated enough, they can apply for inspection. If they pass, they will be able to gain personal freedom and no longer be supervised."
"The upper level has the clear light. Only those with a clean past or only minor faults will show this peaceful light. Such newcomers can be directly registered and become ordinary citizens."
"And the top level is people like you, sir. You have merits and have done great things. Once you enter the city, you will receive the best treatment and there will be no restrictions on accepting any mission. Everyone respects and envies you. This is not something that ordinary people can achieve through hard work. You must have a truly kind heart."
Sun Lingtong listened carefully and asked again: "Anything else?"
The leading officer's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he finally said the key point: "In the City Lord's Mansion, there is a long-term mission. Only those with great kindness and merits can complete it. And those who can complete this mission will be treated favorably by the Lord of the Mansion and promised high positions and generous salaries."
Sun Lingtong suddenly realized.
He was labeled as a good person because of the aura of Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin.
This identity is very popular in Wangchuan Immortal City. The real reason is that the Lord of Wangchuan Mansion has something to ask for. Under his rule, such a good person can naturally become a high-ranking official in Wangchuan Immortal City.
The big and small figures behind these visiting cards are praying for Sun Lingtong's future high-level status, as well as the resources, relationships, etc. that come with this status.
Sun Lingtong pondered and said, "I joined Wangchuan Immortal City just to start over, to live freely by myself, and not to get involved in too many troubles."
"I'll go take a look first."
He was going to cause trouble in the city, so he said goodbye to the leading official and the old man.
The guide wanted to follow him and introduce him to each other to establish a good relationship, but Sun Lingtong politely refused.
The ushering officer could only watch anxiously, and before leaving, he reminded Sun Lingtong: "You have just arrived, and you don't know the latest situation. Although the movement has been concealed, I still want to take care of you and don't go to the City Lord's Mansion for a short time."
"There was a demon cultivator who was extremely rampant. He thought he was very powerful and forced his way through the city gate and rushed into the city lord's mansion."
"She has been intercepted and is trapped in the magic circle of the City Lord's Mansion."
"Sir, if you want to take on the mission from the City Lord's Mansion, you don't have to rush."
Sun Lingtong's heart suddenly moved, and he wondered if this demon cultivator would be an opportunity. After all, he came to Wangchuan Fairy City to cause trouble and cause destruction, but he was alone and his strength was limited.
Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin took care of him and let everything take its course.
Sun Lingtong kept it in mind, and couldn't help but think: "I heard about the demon cultivators and took the initiative to approach the City Lord's Mansion. Is it 'letting nature take its course'?"
The leading officer advised him not to go, but he had evil intentions, so of course he rushed to go.
On the surface, he bid farewell to the guide and also said goodbye to the old man.
“The old man has some background.”
"Since he wants to start a new life in Wangchuan Fairy City, there is no need for him to go with me."
"If something happens and he gets implicated, that won't be good either."
Sun Lingtong was able to enter the city thanks to the old man's help. Sun Lingtong also remembered the old man's kindness and did not want to implicate innocent people.
The main colors of Wangchuan Fairy City are white and green. The atmosphere is peaceful and passers-by are polite to each other with smiles on their faces.
Sun Lingtong’s goal is quite clear, which is the City Lord’s Mansion.
He went into the alley, gradually showing the qualities of an outstanding disciple of the Bukong Sect, and sneaked quietly. After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the door of the mansion was closed, the prohibition on the door was fluctuating strongly, and outside the towering wall, a team of ghost soldiers were patrolling non-stop.
Sun Lingtong used a magic weapon and tested it a little. He immediately felt the obscure spiritual consciousness and the operation of the detection array.
"The previous demon cultivator was too high-profile and broke into the city directly, causing full alert. Sigh..."
"The standards of this City Lord's Mansion are too high. I am only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How can I sneak in?"
When Sun Lingtong was in trouble, a carriage came galloping.
The driver whipped the horse to keep the speed high while shouting: "Open the gate quickly, my master has urgent official business to attend to immediately!"
The guards immediately raised their weapons, but the next moment, the magic circle outside the City Lord's Mansion opened automatically.
White light flickered on the carriage, revealing the aura of Lord Wangchuan.
"Ah, this is an order issued by the Lord himself!"
"Open the door quickly."
“Get out of the way!”
The goalkeepers' expressions changed drastically and they immediately cooperated.
"Good opportunity!" Seeing this scene, Sun Lingtong's eyes widened and flashed with brilliance.
Although he knew that this was quite risky, Sun Lingtong did not hesitate and gambled his life at this moment!
He used his stealing skills to conceal himself as best he could, and then when the carriage passed by, he took advantage of the shadow of the corner, rolled over, and climbed onto the chassis of the carriage.
The wheels rolled, the carriage galloped all the way, went straight through the gate, and rushed into the city lord's mansion.
"I'm in!" Sun Lingtong tightly grasped the chassis of the carriage, feeling excited, "It shouldn't be that hard to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion."
"Hahaha!"
“It’s really exciting.”
Sun Lingtong's eyes lit up, his mouth watered, and his whole body felt numb with pleasure.
The carriage twisted and turned in the city lord's mansion, and the road was very familiar to us. There were many guards and servants along the way, and they hurriedly made way.
Phew!
Finally, the driver pulled back the reins and stood up with the four horses. The carriage came to an abrupt stop.
A monk jumped out of the carriage, his face panicked, and he kept whispering, urging himself: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
He ran to the door and made some finger gestures for a long time before he successfully opened the door.
The driver had calmed the horse by now and began to check the condition of the carriage.
As soon as the door opened, the monk rushed in without looking back and closed the door behind him.
"The steps to open the door are so complicated, this house must be an important place in the City Lord's Mansion!" Sun Lingtong thought.
The two doors closed quickly, leaving only a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.
Sun Lingtong, who had already hid in the bushes on both sides of the door, jumped up and slipped into the house quietly and dangerously.
The door closed with a sound.
The monk walked quickly forward, and Sun Lingtong followed closely behind him.
There are rows of bookshelves in the room, and the shelves are filled with jade slips.
"Is this a martial arts technique storage place?" Sun Lingtong's interest suddenly waned.
Both he and Ning Zhuo have excellent skills.
"Even if I sell it for money, it will be good." Sun Lingtong comforted herself.
"Here, here. Yes, this is it!" The monk was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He searched back and forth on the bookshelf and soon found the target. He was so happy that he quickly reached out and grabbed it.
"Who is it?!" The next moment, he turned around abruptly and found Sun Lingtong at the corner.
In an instant, Sun Lingtong's hair stood on end, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he felt a fatal crisis.
This cultivator looked inconspicuous, his aura was simply restrained to the extreme, and when he attacked at this moment, he was actually at the Nascent Soul level!
thump.
Just as the monk was about to make a move, he was ambushed and fell unconscious to the ground.
Sun Lingtong was reborn from the dead, and the ups and downs he experienced made him almost breathless. He stood there in a daze for a while, staring blankly.
The old man appeared and smiled at Sun Lingtong, "Little ghost, why are you glaring at me? I am your savior."
The old man who had met at the Wangqing Ferry before appeared again and rescued Sun Lingtong in time.
Sun Lingtong reacted, but took a few steps back, with a look of alertness on his face: "Old senior, just now it was you who used me to attract the target's attention, and then took the opportunity to attack and knock him out."
"And at the city gate, you also used me to successfully pass the scrutiny of the evil mirror."
"At the beginning, it was at Wangqing Ferry. You helped me, and you also took the opportunity to promote and praise Yun Xiao and Yue Yi. I was appreciated and became the first one to board the Sky Return Raft!"
"Are you helping me, or are you using me?"
The old man smiled and said, "You are quite clever, little boy. You are worthy of being my junior from Bukong Sect."
Sun Lingtong was stunned: "Senior, you..."
The old man said nothing, but his hands kept moving, demonstrating several of the Bukong Sect's stealing techniques, including signature techniques and secret techniques.
He proved his identity in the simplest way.
The old man continued, "I am from Bukongmen, my name is Zeng Jide, and I am the elder of your elders. Little devil, you are too brave, a hundred times braver than me!"
"You don't know anything, but you rush into Wangchuan Fairy City... Tsk tsk, you are simply courting death!"
"I secretly protected you all the way, especially when you climbed under the carriage and sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion. Do you think you can get away with it by your own tricks?"
Sun Lingtong hurriedly thanked him: "Master Zeng, you are one of us. You are my lifesaver. I will always remember your kindness in my heart."
He suddenly understood in his heart that this was the reason why Buddhist doctor Meng Yaoyin took care of him and told him to let nature take its course - he was actually being protected by the elders in the sect!
Sun Lingtong's expression changed immediately, and he ran to Zeng Jide and kowtowed to him.
Zeng Jide has been dead for a long time, but he still has the nature of a thief and likes to steal. His style of stealing is very high-profile. He gives out notices in advance, asks the target to take strict precautions, and artificially increases the difficulty.
Zeng Jide has amazing stealing skills and likes to challenge himself.
After discovering Sun Lingtong's identity as a member of the Bukong Sect, he fell in love with this younger generation from the bottom of his heart.
"This kid is braver than me! It's rare, really rare."
"He is extremely skilled in stealing skills. Although he is a boy in his sect, his body and soul are very powerful. He is so young, but he has such a solid foundation. Not bad, really good!"
Sun Lingtong mainly cultivates the upper dantian, but his physical body benefits from the fetal breathing spirit ge, and his soul foundation is stronger, reaching a million human souls.
The powerful accumulation of soul and spirit depends entirely on the talismans bestowed by heaven.
This talisman was obtained from Luo Si, and was arranged by the Gray Bone Old Man for the savior. After Ning Zhuo learned about this, he took the initiative to give the heavenly talisman to Sun Lingtong for use. He himself used the four great magic weapons of the Nascent Soul level to raise his soul to the level of a million human souls earlier.
"It's fate that we meet here. Little boy, I will give you some good advice. When you return to the world of the living in the future, just mention my good points more." Zeng Jide stroked his beard and said.
It was obvious that he was a very tall person who liked to show off in front of others.
Sun Lingtong asked: "Senior, what do you want to do in Wangchuan Immortal City?"
Zeng Jide then told the Lord of Wangchuan that he had previously informed him that he was coming to steal the treasure.
Sun Lingtong quickly gave a thumbs up and praised Zeng Jide's stealing nature.
This was Zeng Jide's proudest achievement, and the old senior in the sect laughed out loud and asked Sun Lingtong many questions.
Sun Lingtong gave a false reply, especially when she talked about her interest in stealing and her pursuit of excitement, which made Zeng Jide even happier.
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
"No wonder I think you are so pleasing to my eye."
"This time I will definitely take you to cause a big disturbance in Wangchuan Fairy City, and let us become famous in the underworld together, hahahaha!"
After this conversation, the relationship between the two became very close.
Sun Lingtong walked to the unconscious monk and took the jade slip from his hand. With curiosity, he probed into his consciousness and immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? This is Luo Si's resume!"
