Chapter 762.
A wide tunnel appeared in front of Wang Chen.
Compared to the underground passageway he had just come from behind him, this tunnel had increased four or five times in both width and height, and it was no problem to run six or seven carriages side by side!
Not only that, the floor and the walls on both sides of the tunnel were all paved with stone slabs, which looked flat and sturdy.
Every distance to the left and right of the cave wall, there was a long-lasting lamp inlaid.
The lamps were filled with a turpentine-like oil that burned without smoke but gave off a very faint scent.
The soft glow lit up the tunnel evenly, illuminating the passing pedestrians as well as the carriages.
That’s right, Wang Dust was surprised to see a carriage galloping past in front of him!
Thinking that he was shocked by such a scene, Shi Yan laughed and said, “This is the Huarong Road, when you see the Huarong Road, then Chibi City will soon arrive.”
The Sacred Ancestor’s Walkway was just a collective name for the underground tunnels connecting villages and cities, in fact, the passages underneath different cities had their own additional names so that they could be distinguished.
Huarong Road was the main underground tunnel of Chibi City!
As Wang Chen followed Shi Yan onto Huarong Road and continued to move forward, more and more pedestrians and merchants appeared.
They came from different forks of the road, as if a trickle of water was merging into a long river.
Traveling merchants carrying cargo burdens, farmers carrying bamboo baskets, martial artists wearing armor and straddling swords, and travelers in a hurry ……
It eventually stopped in front of a huge portal.
Wang Dust’s gaze stared!
Only to see the exit of the tunnel in front of him, two heavy stone doors several feet high were open on the left and right, and dozens of heavily armed warriors were guarding the portal to check the pedestrians entering and exiting.
To Wang Chen’s surprise, he actually saw True Seal Script runes on top of these two stone doors!
The language and writing of the Misty Mountain Realm was very different from that of the Haotian Realm, except that Wang Chuan had awakened in the body of Chen Ergu and inherited all the memories, so he naturally mastered the language and writing of this world.
The Misty Mountain Realm has no heaven and earth aura to cultivate the law, and belongs to the “Land of the Absolute Spirit”, which has taken a different path in the transcendental realm.
Therefore, Wang Chen did not expect to see his most familiar True Seal Script here.
Could it be that a cultivator from the Haotian Realm had once come to Red Cliff City?
This was not something outlandish, after all, the Qingqiu Fox Clan had held the Questioning Realm Bell for thousands of years, and during that time, they had sent quite a few of their clansmen inside to explore, and it was normal for them to leave traces in the Misty Mountain Realm.
Even if there was, I’m afraid that it would have long been in the ground by now!
Wang Chen shook his head and withdrew his gaze.
The two stone doors were covered with True Seal Runes, but they meant nothing to him.
The procession slowly moved forward, and the merchants and pedestrians entering the city stepped onto the steps behind the stone gates after paying their fees.
When it was Wang Chen and Shi Yan’s turn, the latter immediately handed over two bone coins.
The guards waved their hands and let them through after verifying the authenticity of the bone coins.
This entry fee was a bit expensive!
Wang Chen was a bit surprised, doubting that the hundred or so bone coins in his arms wouldn’t last long in this city.
Passing through the high stone gate, the front became brighter and a long flight of steps blocked his way.
Wang Chen looked up and saw that this ladder went up layer by layer, and he could barely see the end.
Interestingly, there were upward and downward ropeways set up on both sides of the ladder, relying on human labor to run them.
But it looks like it is specially used for transporting goods.
As for pedestrians, that could only pick up the steps upwards.
Of course, for Wang Chen, this was nothing at all, with his current strength, even the tallest peaks could be climbed up, let alone this kind of flat and simple ladder.
Stepping onto the last step, the front opened up.
An indescribable aura instantly wrapped Wang Chen’s entire being.
His mind shook tremendously!
In this very moment, Wang Chen unexpectedly sensed the presence of a trace of heaven and earth aura.
This feeling was extremely subtle, and when he tried to capture it, he did not gain the slightest bit.
It was as if it was just his own hallucination.
“What’s wrong?”
Shi Yan beside him noticed that Wang Chen stopped walking and inquired suspiciously, “Is something wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Wang Dust came back to his senses, “Let’s go.”
Shi Yan thought that Wang Dust was shocked by coming to the city for the first time again, so he didn’t care about his disorientation, “Let’s go, let’s find a place to stay first.”
Red Cliff was a real city, it was backed by a majestic mountain range, and the other three sides were built up with tall walls as protection, the houses and buildings in the city were lined up one after another, although it couldn’t be compared with the Immortal City in Haotian Realm at all, it could fully deserve the name of a majestic city in the mundane world.
Red Cliff’s walls were a dark red color, and since they were built very high, they could be seen when standing inside the city.
And the world outside the city walls was completely surrounded by dense fog.
In a world shrouded in mist, it could undoubtedly bring people a great sense of security!
The people living in the city, whether they were dressed or had an air of conversation, were all distinctly different from the villagers of Little Rock Village.
Wang Chen followed Shi Yan along the long street and realized that the number of martial artists here was very high.
The external features of these martial artists were very obvious, some carried bows and swords, some walked like dragons and tigers, and some were physically tough, contrasting sharply with ordinary civilians.
As the sky darkened, the two of them walked a long way and eventually found an inn with a cheap location.
“The rooms in this one are cheaper.”
Shi Yan wiped the sweat seeping out from his forehead and laughed bitterly, “I don’t have many bone coins with me, so I can only spend them sparingly, it’s lucky that this one is still open, or else I’d probably have to spend more if I looked for it separately.”
Wang Dust nodded.
He is not the kind of person who likes luxury, Immortal City mansions can be lived in, digging a hole in the ground can also be used as a shelter.
Naturally, he didn’t have any opinion about cheap inns.
He said it was a cheap inn, but even a small room cost one bone coin a day.
Shi Yan paid the room fee for three days first.
After the two of them settled down in the room, he said to Wang Duan, “Er Dog, we’ll just squeeze in here tonight, I’m going back tomorrow, so it’s all up to you from now on.”
Saying this, he fished out an animal skin bag from his pocket and handed it to Wang Duan, “This is what the village chief asked me to give you.”
As soon as the bag entered his hand, Wang Dust understood what was inside.
A bag of bone coins!
He frowned and was about to refuse, when he heard Shi Yan say, “The city has a lot of expenses, you’re new here, you can’t do without bone coins, these are considered to be borrowed from you, and you can return them in the future.”
Wang Dust thought about it, “Good.”
He really needs these bone coins, so there is no harm in borrowing them first, and he will return them tenfold in the future!
Watching Wang Dust put away the bone coins, Shi Yan revealed a pleased smile, “Then I’ll tell you more about the situation in this Red Cliff City.”
This way over, Shi Yan really hated to tell Wang Dust everything he knew about Red Cliff City.
It was just that there were always oversights in his memory, and he came back here and remembered some more things.
So there were a few more things to say.
