Shen Luo couldn't help but frown as he looked at the scene of a wedding in the mortal world.
This seemingly ordinary scene, when placed in the current apocalyptic environment, was somewhat strange. It could even be said that it was somewhat abnormal.
However, after Shen Luo observed for a long time, he still couldn't see any signs of demons here. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Could it be that in this apocalyptic world, there really is such a place like this?"
He hesitated for a while, then he flew to the outskirts of the town and landed.
Outside the town, there was a stone archway with a few big words engraved on it: "Two Worlds Town".
Shen Luo looked at the name and felt that it was familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen it before.
He took a step forward and walked into the archway.
The moment Shen Luo stepped into the archway, he suddenly felt a strange fluctuation. It was like a layer of water that slid past his body. When he wanted to take a closer look, the feeling disappeared.
Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and walked out of the town.
However, when he turned around, he realized that the archway that he had just stepped into was already 30 meters away.
He took a few steps forward and squinted his eyes. When he looked at the archway again, he realized that it was 30 meters away.
"Oh, it's not that simple …"
Shen Luo sighed. The moonlight under his feet dispersed, and he dashed forward.
When he performed the Slanting Moon Steps, he covered more than 30 meters. However, when Shen Luo landed, he realized that the archway was still 30 meters away.
He lifted his hand and rubbed his forehead. He did not continue to try, and he continued to walk into Two Worlds Town.
On both sides of the road, the nearest shops to the archway were a blacksmith's shop and a noodle soup stall.
The furnace in front of the blacksmith's shop was still lit, but the blacksmith had already gone back to rest. Shen Luo walked to the empty shop and put his hand into the furnace to test it. He found that there was a scorching heat coming from inside. It didn't seem like an illusion.
While he was thinking, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Hey, young man, Blacksmith Wang doesn't take any work at this time. He needs to forge something, so come early tomorrow."
Shen Luo turned around and saw a dark-skinned old man with a headscarf walking out of the noodle soup stall with a smile on his face.
"Young man, you don't look familiar. You must be from outside, right? Have you eaten yet? Do you want a bowl of noodles with green onion and egg? It's three copper coins, and you can eat as much as you want. "The old man greeted them with a smile.
Shen Luo scanned the old man with his Divine Perception and found that there were no energy fluctuations coming from him. He was just a mortal.
"No, old man, I still have to deliver the congratulatory gift." Shen Luo waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Oh, you're Minister Lu's guest. No wonder. Hurry up, the banquet should have started by now. "The old man heard him and said quickly.
Shen Luo responded and walked into the town.
When he passed by a school, he stopped and looked inside. Through the door, he could only see a dark and silent courtyard.
As he walked further in, there were more and more houses, and there were more and more sounds of people and dogs barking.
When he passed by the door of a house, he could hear adults testing children's homework and the sound of children crying.
All the signs around seemed to indicate that this was just an ordinary town.
Shen Luo walked through half of the town. When he passed by an old pagoda tree, he saw someone drawing water from a well under the tree. He said that he was thirsty and asked that person for a ladle of water.
After he checked, he found that although the water quality of the well wasn't very good, there was no Yin Qi in it. There was nothing strange.
"Could it be that this place is really just a Xanadu that luckily survived the apocalypse?" Shen Luo stroked his chin and wondered.
He suddenly remembered the scene when he mistakenly entered Longevity Village. He hesitated for a moment and asked the townsman who was drawing water.
"Big brother, is there a Five Finger Mountain near Two World Town?"
"Five Finger Mountain? I've never heard of it. There is a Two World Mountain. Our town's name came from this mountain. "The middle-aged man carried the bucket on his shoulder and said.
"Two World Mountain? Where is it? "Shen Luo looked around and asked in surprise.
"Don't look. Many years ago, the mountain suddenly collapsed for some reason. You can't see it from the village now." As the man spoke, he quickly carried the bucket and planned to go home.
Hearing this, Shen Luo thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that the original name of the Five Fingers Mountain should be the Five Elements Mountain. Ever since Wang Mang came to the human world to usurp the Han Dynasty, the name of the mountain was changed to the Two Boundaries Mountain after the Great Tang Dynasty conquered the west and established the country.
Wasn't the Five Finger Mountain he was looking for the Two World Mountain that the townsman mentioned?
As for why the mountain collapsed, it was most likely because the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was rescued by Master Sanzang and caused the Five Finger Mountain to collapse.
Thinking of this, Shen Luo was suddenly very happy. But on second thought, he felt that something was wrong.
Seeing Shen Luo's strange look, the man muttered and left with the bucket of water.
Shen Luo left the well and went all the way to Minister Lu's house in the center of the town. He saw the door decorated with lanterns and colored banners. It was a lively scene full of joy. After a moment of hesitation, he rummaged through his storage device and picked out a young ginseng.
He put the ginseng in a long brocade box and went straight to the door.
The housekeeper, who was greeting guests, saw that the visitor was unfamiliar, but the smile on his face didn't fade.
Before he could ask, Shen Luo had already handed over the gift and said with a smile, "Junior Shen Luo congratulates Lu Mansion on the new year. I have prepared a small gift to show my respect."
The housekeeper took the brocade box and opened the lid. A strong fragrance came to his nose. He looked at it and was surprised.
According to the appearance of the ginseng's head and roots, he found that it was a ginseng that was at least five or six hundred years old. It could be said that it was a priceless treasure.
He didn't have time to ask about his identity and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Shen Luo's gift is a hundred-year-old ginseng."
The deacon, who was busy writing the gift list, looked over and hurriedly wrote down the name.
"Quick, take Young Master Shen to the VIP seat." The housekeeper hurriedly called a servant girl and let her lead Shen Luo in.
Shen Luo followed the servant girl into the mansion's inner courtyard. The table inside was almost full of people. There were chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of wine and food on the table. The main family's neighbors were drinking and drinking. It was very lively.
The servant girl led Shen Luo to a table near the main family and prepared a bowl, chopsticks, and a cup for him. Only then did she leave.
The people at the table didn't treat him as an outsider at all. They just treated him as a relative of the main family and happily toasted him.
Shen Luo hadn't seen such an atmosphere in a long time. He was also affected by the atmosphere, so he also raised his wine cup and drank with the crowd.
The main family's newlyweds had finished the etiquette. At this time, the groom began to take turns toasting the guests table by table.
After a round, the groom's face was already red. His footsteps were a little weak. He was supported by friends and relatives to the bridal chamber.
When everyone was drinking to their heart's content, Shen Luo suddenly frowned. "There's a demon aura."
