The Great Enlightenment

Chapter 20
"Zhao Yue, roll over and have a look."

Beneath the majestic west city gate, dozens of imposing black-armored city guards were scrutinizing the bustling crowd of people in great detail. Among them, a young man who looked like a leader glanced at where Ji Yuenian was standing. Turning his head, he gave an order to a guard beside him.

Zhao Yue responded with a low voice, then walked straight towards the west gate.

The city walls of the ancient city of Taichu are too high, the gates are extremely wide, and there are a lot of people coming and going. In order to prevent some spirits and monsters from mixing into the ancient city of Taichu, these black-armored city guards are so devoted to their duties and dare not Just relax.

Ji Yuenian stood on the spot for a long time, his demeanor was clear and unmistakable, and he had already attracted the attention of these black-armored city guards.

"I'm afraid this Taoist priest is not from the ancient city of Taichu?"

Zhao Yue came over and slightly cupped his hands towards Ji Yuenian. Although his face was still calm, there were already turbulent waves in his heart.

The City Guard Token around his waist became hot for a while, and there was a bright black light flowing endlessly, which meant...it sensed an extremely strong ghostly aura in Ji Yuenian's body!
And judging from the violent reaction of the city guard token, I'm afraid this person is not an ordinary ghost at all!

At this moment, Zhao Yue was very sure that Ji Yuenian was a ghost, but he was very worried about his own safety, so he didn't dare to turn around and run away rashly, so he turned his head slightly and crazily moved towards the many black-armored city guards under the west city gate. in color.

"how you said that?"

Ji Yue smiled young and shook her head. With a thought in mind, she brushed her fair and slender fingers slightly, and inadvertently put the Shingling Ghost Clothes into the Jingong acupoint.

With the disappearance of the ghost clothes, the city guard badge on Zhao Yue's waist gradually fell silent.

"Zhao Yue, what's wrong!?"

The leader-like Heijia Mansion Guard noticed Zhao Yue's abnormality, asked in a deep voice, and led a few people towards here at a fast pace.

"Commander Ji Bugui, this person is transformed by a ghost! He wants to sneak into the territory within the walls of the ancient city of Taichu!" Zhao Yue looked a little scared, and retreated slowly towards the west gate while speaking.

"Ghost!?" An ordinary person happened to pass by. Hearing this, he couldn't help looking at Zhao Yue like a fool.

More passers-by didn't care about these things that had nothing to do with them at all, just glanced at them casually and left in a hurry.

Ji Bugui raised his foot and kicked Zhao Yue's ass fiercely, scolding in a cold voice: "Worthless! This is the ancient city of Taichu! How could there be ghosts who dare to come here?"

Monsters, spirits, etc. have at least been recognized by the human race. Now the ancient city of Taichu strictly prohibits the entry of monsters and monsters, and it is only because this city is a relatively simple ancient city of human race.Among the remaining ancient cities under the rule of Taiyu Ancient Sect, there are many monster cities full of monsters.

But the ghosts are completely different, besides, there is the righteous god God of Taichu land, and no sprites dare to get close to the ancient city of Taichu, even if there is a trace of the righteous god's divine power remaining on the city wall for an unknown period of time. It is enough to crush a ghost in the Realm of Returning to the True Realm into powder.

"Commander Ji Bugui, I really didn't lie to you! Just now the city guard token really sensed a very strange ghost power!" Zhao Yue cried and took off his own city guard token from his waist.

But then his expression froze completely, and the city guard token had completely recovered at some point, and there was no slightest reaction on it.

"idiot!"

Ji Bugui showed a look of impatience, and pushed Zhao Yue aside, and walked to Ji Yuenian's two feet away.

"Ji Bugui... Are you from the fourth house of Ji's family?" Ji Yuenian took a look at Ji Bugui and said softly.

Only now did Ji Bugui get a glimpse of Ji Yuenian's appearance, and he froze in place, his whole body trembling slightly.

After a few breaths, he still couldn't believe it, and tentatively asked, "Could it be... the eldest son?"

After cleansing his soul and purifying his marrow, Ji Yuenian has undergone an incredible transformation from the inside out. His already handsome appearance is even more beautiful than before, which made Ji Bugui feel a little uncertain for a while.

Ji Yuenian nodded and said, "It's me."

"Eldest son! It's really you!?"

Ji Bugui's expression was extremely excited, he was always calm, but at this moment he was unexpectedly at a loss.

The ancient city of Taichu is vast and magnificent, and there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in it, and the Ji family is one of the few cultivation families above all ordinary people. It once ignited the sixth rank of the sequence at the age of six. The angry Ji Yuenian is the most dazzling existence among them.

Even though Ji Bugui and he belonged to the Ji family, the aloof eldest son Ji Yuenian was still someone he had no contact with on a daily basis.

"Eldest son, you actually know me! It's true... But you already... Now that Ji's family is in chaos, it's good to come back! I'll take the eldest son back to Ji's house to meet the head of the family!"

Under Ji Bugui's emotional agitation, he was already a little incoherent.

"What kind of chaotic method, let's hear it." The young man flicked the sleeves of his robe, and a ray of azure profound energy appeared, submerged into Ji Bugui's eyebrows, and made his mind calm down a lot in an instant.

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master," Ji Bugui could barely suppress his complicated emotions, and he didn't care about the black armor guards who were looking at each other. The position that Shangzhen bestowed on the Ji family became vacant, and the great elder Ji Luoyan had a big dispute with the head of the family, and the Ji family almost broke out into an irreparable civil strife!"

Ji Yuenian thought for a moment, and said, "Ji Luoyan definitely wants Ji Baiyu to inherit my position, and my father... If there is no accident, he should support Ji Liuguang, the only son of Sanfang instead?"

"Young master is a fortune teller," Ji Bugui's eyes showed reverence and admiration, "But a few days ago, something happened in Ji's family that shocked the ancient city of Taichu, it was..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yue chased after him from a distance, and shouted anxiously: "Commander Ji Bugui, if you leave now, what will happen to the rotation of the big city gate on the west side?"

Ji Bugui turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yue, his eyes were slightly cold, then he turned around and whispered to Ji Yuenian with some embarrassment: "My lord, I will take care of some chores first, and I will come later."

"Let's go." Ji Yuenian nodded slightly, but did not stop, but continued to walk forward slowly.

Although the ancient city of Taichu is called a city, it is actually a vast territory surrounded by eight long walls. Dozens of extremely prosperous city walls and villages stand in the outer city. Although the most majestic and grand central inner city is only It is only a few dozen miles around, but it is the real core of the ancient city of Taichu.

Yanggu spiritual fields, green grass flowers, red spiritual fruits, Xuanxiang rice... Countless spiritual fields and spiritual fruits are planted on both sides of the wide official road, stretching endlessly.There are also many ordinary people who take care of them carefully in the spiritual field, and they dare not relax for a moment. This is the basis for them to be able to settle down in the ancient city of Taichu.

No matter what kind of spiritual fruit is planted, these ordinary people can only keep [-]% of it every year, and the remaining [-]% is turned over to the inner city as a spiritual tax to support several aristocratic families who are in charge of the ancient city of Taichu.

The seeds of these spirit fields and spirit fruits were all distributed to nineteen ancient cities by the Taiyu Ancient Sect many years ago. The grade is not high, but the yield is extremely rich, which is very suitable for ordinary people to plant.So even if only [-]% is left, it is enough for these ordinary people to have enough food and clothing, and there is even a lot of surplus, which can be exchanged for money.

The silver money here refers to the silver taels used by ordinary people. After all, ninety-nine percent of the creatures in the ancient city of Taichu are ordinary ordinary people who have never ignited their hearts. The incomparably precious primordial stone is used as a trade item.

Primordial stones are jade stones that contain rich vitality of heaven and earth, no matter what race they are, they can absorb pure vitality of heaven and earth from them. .
The world is vast and endless, and new veins of primordial stones are born in a certain corner almost every moment, so primordial stones have gradually become things that can be traded between living beings who can practice, and they have almost never changed.

"Do you know who that person was just now? Do you dare to yell here?"

Ji Bugui's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at Zhao Yue in front of him coldly.

At this time, there were already several black-armored city guards who had discovered some clues. They hurriedly greeted Ji Bugui, and then mounted their horses and rushed towards the inner city far away.

The return of the eldest son of the Ji family intact will definitely cause a sensation in the entire inner city!
Zhao Yue also seemed to realize that his act of calling Ji Bugui to stop was a bit stupid, and he stammered: "Ji Bugui...commander, I didn't...no other meaning, I just..."

"You're courting death!" Ji Bugui drew his long sword backhand, and slashed at Zhao Yue's wrist!
The cold light flashed away, and Zhao Yue's left hand fell in response.

A large amount of blood spurted out, and Zhao Yue let out a shrill scream, clutching the broken wrist of his left hand with his right hand, knelt on the ground and howled in pain.

"You dog, how dare you delay me to please the eldest son, I have not killed you with a sword, you are considered lucky!" Ji Bugui spat hard on the top of Zhao Yue's head, and turned his head to the other few who had never The Heijia city guard who left ordered in a cold voice, "All those who want to report have already gone. You guys should stay at the gate of the big city on the west side and not leave!"

These people glanced at Zhao Yue's miserable state, and said tremblingly: "Yes, Ji Bugui is in command."

Ji Bugui snorted coldly and didn't even ride a horse, so he turned around and quickly chased after Ji Yuenian who was on the official road in the distance.

Although the recruitment of the black-armored city guards is extremely strict, after all, most of the low-level city guards are ordinary warriors from the outer city. There are nearly a thousand black-armored city guards, among whom there are occasionally a few stupid people Not surprisingly.

This Zhao Yue is one of them.

Although Ji Bugui is only a small commander, he is backed by the Ji family, a family of cultivation in the inner city, whose status is much higher than that of Zhao Yue.
