Once you enter the city, just like the people outside, everyone has the books of sages in their hands. Some people even have two books, and some even have three.
"Hey! Look, there's a newcomer."
"It's been a long time since anyone has come to this Fifth City. How strange! How strange!"
"Why are you coming? It's better not to come. The Fifth City calls it heaven, but it's actually hell!"
As everyone was talking, at this moment, a young man in white came up to Qin Tian and the other three. He looked gentle and elegant, and it was obvious that he was a scholar.
Not only does he have a gentle temperament, but his appearance is also outstanding, with a pair of peach blossom eyes. I wonder how many women in the world will be fascinated by him.
The man said, "Welcome, everyone. My name is Gong Yueli, and I'm the deputy mayor of the Fifth City.
Since the four of you are here for the first time, you must go to the City Lord's Mansion, listen to the Lord's teachings, and receive the Sage's Book."
Hearing this, Qin Tian nodded slightly, "Thank you for leading the way."
Gong Yueli smiled and said, "It's okay, this is my job.
There is one more thing you must remember: this fifth city is different from the other cities. There can be no killing here. This is an iron rule."
Soon, Gong Yueli led Qin Tian and the other three into the City Lord's Mansion. The moment they stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Tian had already sensed the breath of Bei Xuan's descendants.
A hint of joy flashed in Qin Tian's eyes, as if he had finally found something he had searched for everywhere without any effort.
Enter the city lord's mansion, walk along the bluestone road in the center, and enter the hall.
I just looked at the main seat, where a young man was sitting.
He was dressed in white, his eyes were like stars, and his face was as if cut by a knife or an axe, showing his fortitude, but within his fortitude, he also had an elegant air.
"Are you four new to the city? It's been a long time since there have been any newcomers in my Fifth City. Please take a seat." The man said elegantly.
And at this moment, Qin Tian was certain that the man in front of him was the descendant of Bei Xuan. There was no mistake about this, after all, the aura of bloodline could not be concealed.
Qin Tian sat down, and then said calmly, "Is the city lord's surname Bei?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Tian clearly felt a slight fluctuation in Bei Xuan's emotions, but it was hidden very well.
Then the city lord slowly said, "There is a word 'Bei' in my name, but my last name is Mo, and my given name is Mo Bei.
Actually, I don’t like this name, but I didn’t change it because my mother kept asking me to do so.”
From Mo Bei's words, Qin Tian could clearly feel that he was hiding something, which seemed to be a period of time that he did not want to recall.
Mo Bei then continued, "Let's not talk about this. You four have just arrived in the Fifth City, and I think there are still many things you don't understand. Let me tell you about it.
The fifth city is absolutely different from other cities. There is no bloody killing here, only an absolute pure land.
Here there are only books, the teachings of sages, and in the fifth city there is only peace."
Listening to Mo Bei's words and looking at the books Mo Bei handed over, Qin Tian and the other three took them and first flipped through them briefly.
For Qin Tian, it has been too long since he last read this book of sages.
There was a period of time when Qin Tian read a lot of books of sages in order to gain inspiration from them, complete his understanding, and make a breakthrough in his cultivation.
After achieving the realm of Divine Emperor, Qin Tian never read again. He walked out of his own path and had his own thoughts. Although he still needed to absorb the essence, the books of the time could no longer satisfy Qin Tian at that time.
Mo Bei said slowly, "Don't rush to read it, read it slowly. The books of sages require quiet reading and careful appreciation.
Whether it is for the heart of Tao or cultivation, the books of sages are of great enlightenment."
Having said that, Mo Bei paused for a moment and continued, "This is the first time for the four of you to enter the city, and I think you don't have a place to stay yet. You can stay in the mansion for the next few days. I will find a place for you to stay.
By the way, let me remind you four that the spiritual fields in my Fifth City are forbidden areas. If you get close to them, you will die.
People kill because of greed. In the Fifth City, everything will be distributed fairly by me personally. This is the only way to ensure peace in the Fifth City."
Qin Tian and the other three nodded slightly. Hun Dun wanted to say something, but seeing that Qin Tian remained silent, and with Jiu Feng's reminder, he didn't say anything either.
After lunch, Qin Tian and his three companions strolled in the city, led by Gong Yueli. The bustling crowd all held books of sages in their hands, and everyone was very humble.
Isn’t this the ideal heaven?
In the fifth city, everything is in perfect order. Compared with the other four cities, this place is heaven.
After wandering around the city for an entire afternoon, night gradually fell. On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Gong Yueli looked at Qin Tian and the other three and said slowly, "After midnight, no matter what noise you hear, you must not leave the City Lord's Mansion. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
Hearing this, the three Chaos members were a little confused. Qi Liansheng couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What happened? This Fifth City is like a paradise on earth, so peaceful, what else could happen?"
"well!
To be honest, our Lord City Lord is a bit naive. Who are these people? They are people whose hands are stained with countless blood.
They say everything is distributed fairly, but who doesn’t want more, and who doesn’t want a higher status?
In the face of human nature and desire, no matter how you divide it, it is unfair.
During the day, with the city lord in charge, no one dared to act rashly. But at night, when the city lord went to bed, they began the killing, even more brutal than in the other four cities.
Hearing this, Qin Tian smiled slightly. This was not beyond his expectations.
Hun Dun then asked, "But after entering the city, I didn't sense the slightest aura of killing, let alone the smell of blood!"
Gong Yueli smiled and said, "They cleaned up very neatly. Not only were their methods of killing sophisticated, but their level of cleaning up the scene was even higher."
"Then... can't the City Lord hear it?" Jiufeng couldn't help but ask.
This is a logical flaw. The city lord must be the most powerful being in the fifth city. How could he not notice the sounds of killing in the city because he was sleeping?
Gong Yueli replied, "The City Lord has a habit when he sleeps. He cannot stand any noise, not even the slightest sound of the wind.
Therefore, outside the city lord's bedroom, the city lord personally set up a large formation. The formation was formed by the power accumulated in the spiritual field. It was extremely mysterious and could isolate everything. Even we could not enter.
Regarding what happened last night, we also wanted to tell the city lord, but even so, the killing will not stop."
After a pause, Gong Yueli continued, "If the City Lord is too strict, I'm afraid they will rebel.
Besides, this isn't the outside world, so we can't use our cultivation skills. Sleep is essential. If we stay up all day and night, I'm afraid the City Lord's body will collapse in no time."
