Chapter 762: Entering Red Cliff

A wide tunnel appeared in front of Wang Chen.

Compared with the underground passage he just came from behind, this tunnel has increased four to five times in width and height. It can accommodate six or seven carriages running side by side without any problem!

Not only that, the floor of the tunnel and the walls on both sides are all paved with stone slabs, which looks smooth and solid.

At regular intervals on the left and right sides of the cave wall, there are everlasting lamps embedded in it.

The lamp is filled with oil similar to rosin, which burns without smoke but emits a very faint fragrance.

The soft light illuminated the tunnel evenly, illuminating the pedestrians and carriages passing by.

That's right, Wang Chen actually saw a carriage speeding past in front of him!

Shi Yan thought he was shocked by such a scene and said with a smile: "This is Huarong Road. When you see Huarong Road, Chibi City will be arriving soon."

The Holy Ancestor Walkway is just a general name for the underground tunnels that connect villages and cities. In fact, the underground passages in different cities have their own other names, so that they can be easily distinguished.

Huarong Road is the underground main road of Chibi City!

When Wang Chen followed Shi Yan onto Huarong Road and continued to move forward, more and more pedestrians and business travelers appeared.

They come from different forks, like trickles flowing into a long river.

Traveling merchants carrying cargo, farmers carrying bamboo baskets, warriors wearing armor and swords, travelers in a hurry...

Finally, he stopped in front of a huge portal.

Wang Chen’s eyes narrowed!

I saw the exit of the tunnel ahead, with thick stone doors several feet high on both sides open to the left and right. Dozens of heavily armed warriors guarded the door to check pedestrians entering and exiting.

What surprised Wang Chen was that he actually saw the real seal runes on the two stone doors!

The language and writing of the Wushan Realm are very different from those of the Haotian Realm, but Wang Chen awakened as "Chen Ergou", inherited all the memories, and naturally mastered the language and writing of this world.

Wushan Realm cannot practice law without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It belongs to the "Place of Unparalleled Spirits" and has taken another path in the supernatural realm.

So Wang Chen didn't expect to see the Zhenzhuan runes he was most familiar with here.

Have any monks from Haotian Realm ever visited Red Cliff City?

This is not a strange thing. After all, the Qingqiu Fox Clan has held the Realm-Questing Bell for thousands of years. During this period, many tribesmen have been sent to explore inside. It is normal to leave traces in the Wushan Realm.

Even if there was, I'm afraid it would have been buried by now!

Wang Chen shook his head and looked back.

The two stone doors were covered with real seal runes, but they were meaningless to him.

The team slowly moved forward, and after paying their fees, the business travelers entering the city stepped onto the stairs behind the stone gate.

When it was Wang Chen and Shi Yan's turn, the latter immediately handed over two bone coins.

After the guard identified the authenticity of the bone coins, he waved them to let them go.

The entrance fee is a bit expensive!

Wang Chen was a little surprised and doubted that the more than a hundred bone coins in his arms could last long in this city.

After passing through the tall stone door, the front was brighter, and a long staircase stood in front of him.

Wang Chen looked up and saw that the stairs were going up step by step, with almost no end in sight.

What’s interesting is that there are ascending and descending ropeways on both sides of the stairs, which rely on human power to operate.

But it seems to be specially used to transport goods.

As for pedestrians, they can only climb up the stairs.

Of course, to Wang Chen, this is nothing. With his current strength, he can climb even the highest mountain, let alone such a flat and simple ladder.

Stepping up the last step, the front suddenly became clear.

An indescribable aura instantly enveloped Wang Chen's entire body.

His mind was shaken!

At this moment, Wang Chen actually sensed a trace of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

This feeling was extremely subtle, and when he tried to capture it, he didn't get the slightest gain.

It seemed like it was just his own hallucination.

"What's the matter?"

Shi Yan, who was standing next to him, noticed that Wang Chen stopped and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

"fine."

Wang Chen came to his senses: "Let's go."

Shi Yan thought that Wang Chen was shocked when he came to the city for the first time, so he didn't pay attention to his absence: "Let's find a place to stay first."

Chibi is a real city. It is backed by majestic mountains and has tall city walls built on the other three sides for protection. The houses and buildings in the city are lined up in rows. Although it is incomparable to the fairy city in Haotian Realm, it is completely comparable in the mortal world. It deserves the name of Xiongcheng.

The walls of Red Cliff are dark red in color. Because they are built very high, they can be seen even from inside the city.

The world outside the city walls is completely surrounded by thick fog.

In a world shrouded in fog, it can undoubtedly bring people a great sense of security!

The people living in the city are obviously different from the villagers of Xiaoshi Village in terms of their dress, temperament and conversation.

Wang Chen followed Shi Yan along the long street and found that there were many warriors here.

The external characteristics of these warriors are very obvious. Some carry bows and swords, some move like dragons and tigers, and some have strong bodies, which are in sharp contrast to ordinary civilians.

As the sky gradually darkened, the two walked a long way and finally found a cheap inn.

“The rooms here are cheaper.”

Shi Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I don't have many bone coins with me, so I can only save some flowers. Fortunately, this store is still open, otherwise it will probably cost more to find another one. "

Wang Chen nodded.

He was not the kind of person who liked luxury. He could live in a mansion in Xiancheng, and he could also dig a cave to live in.

He naturally had no objection to the cheap inn.

Although it was a cheap inn, an ordinary small room also cost one bone coin a day.

Shi Yan paid the room fee for three days first.

After the two settled down in the room, he said to Wang Chen: "Er Gou, we will squeeze here tonight. I will go back tomorrow. It's all up to you in the future."

As he said this, he took out a leather bag from his arms and handed it to Wang Chen: "This is what the village chief asked me to give you."

As soon as he got the bag, Wang Chen knew what was in it.

A bag of bone coins!

He frowned and was about to refuse, but heard Shi Yan say: "The expenses in the city are very high. You are new here, and you can't do without bone coins. These are considered as loans to you, and you can return them in the future."

Wang Chen thought about it and said: "Okay."

He really needed these bone coins, so it's okay to borrow them first, and he can return them tenfold in the future!

Watching Wang Chen put away the bone coins, Shi Yan smiled with satisfaction: "Then I'll tell you about the situation in Chibi City."

On this way, Shi Yan really wanted to tell Wang Chen everything he knew about Chibi City.

It's just that there are always omissions in memory, and he remembered some things when he returned here.

So I have to say a few more words.

The first update is here.

PS: Finally, I'm done with my work and resumed normal updates. These past few days are really hard to describe.
