After a slight sense of weightlessness, the scenery in front of Bai Xiaowen's eyes froze.
A city appeared in front of his eyes. The name of the city was Jiangdu.
Bai Xiaowen understood that Jiangdu was Yangzhou City during the Sui Dynasty. It was also the place where Emperor Yang of Sui passed away. It seemed that this treasure land space was indeed related to Emperor Yang's death.
Looking around, Bai Xiaowen was the only one around.
Bai Xiaowen tried to send a message in the team channel. The good news was that two of his teammates responded one after another. They were Li Shuyi and Cecilia.
They were not far away from Bai Xiaowen and were within the communication range of the team channel!
Soon, the three of them met up.
"Hey, it's going well this time. We're not too far away." Li Shuyi was very happy.
"Yes, it's not bad." Bai Xiaowen nodded. The most troublesome thing for the Awakened teams when exploring the treasure land space was the spatial dislocation after crossing the spatial portal. The reason why the special forces did not enter was that the spatial dislocation would scatter the team, making them unable to make use of their advantage in numbers and teamwork.
Cecilia looked up at the city plaque with the two words "Jiangdu" and said, "Is this the ancient city and city wall of Hua Xia? It's much bigger than the castle in the Kane Dimension. "
Bai Xiaowen smiled. The Black Rock Fortress was only a slightly bigger fortress. This was a city. There was no comparison.
However, the city gate of Jiangdu looked a little dilapidated and desolate. Even the soldiers guarding the gate looked sallow and emaciated. They did not look energetic.
"There are people from the Spiritual Realm in this fragment of the treasure land space?" Li Shuyi was surprised.
"This is also a good thing. We can understand the secrets of this treasure land space faster," Bai Xiaowen said.
"But we don't have the default transformation of the Spiritual Realm's rules on us. We can't use psionic points to activate the transformation function." Li Shuyi looked at the "strange clothes" on the three of them, which was the original appearance of the equipment. He was a little worried. "Will the natives of the Spiritual Realm think we're crazy?"
Bai Xiaowen was fine. He wore an ebony hairpin, a purple embroidered robe, and a golden jade belt around his waist. He looked like a cultivator. Only the Winter Wand and the Devil's Book of Ravings were a little out of place.
Li Shuyi's Flowing Silver Robe was very 'normal'. She also looked like an ancient Huaxia swordsman with two swords. However, the dragon-skin shoulder pads and the python-patterned cloak behind her were slightly eye-catching.
.. of the Ancient Hua Xia. of Jiangdu City..... of the ancient Hua Xia........ of Jiangdu of the Of the Ancient....
Bai Xiaowen laughed. "Don't worry. I have my ways. Let's enter the city first and see if we can communicate with these natives."
The three of them came to the city gate.
"Stop! Who are you? Do you have a guide? " The two soldiers guarding the gate blocked the three of them dutifully. Their eyes kept sizing up Bai Xiaowen and the other two.
The two soldiers' accents were a little difficult to understand. This was also because the Spiritual Realm's rules were incomplete. Bai Xiaowen and the other two did not take the initiative to change their language. They could only brace themselves and imitate the ancient people's tone.
Bai Xiaowen raised two fingers on his left hand and placed them in front of his chest. He bowed slightly and said, "Immeasurable Deity! I, Bai Wenzi, bow. I'm a monk. I don't have a guide. I hope the two of you can forgive me. "
[I've written the dialogue in vernacular for the sake of smoothness. Please forgive me.]
"You can't enter the city without a guide." The soldier stared suspiciously at the two women behind Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen's expression changed. He shook his head solemnly and said, "Alas! Pitiful, hateful, and lamentable! The city is full of people who are about to die, but I have no chance to save them. "He turned to leave. At the same time, he whispered something to Li Shuyi in the team channel.
Li Shuyi received the order and hurriedly pulled Bai Xiaowen back. "Bai … Brother Bai Wenzi, you can't do this!"
One walked while the other pulled. The commotion was a little loud. Soon, a military officer in armor came over.
"Who's making a racket here?"
"Sir Tang, this monk who calls himself Bai Xiaowen is very strange. He can't take out a guide, but he wants to enter the city. He even cursed us to be people who are about to die!" The soldier immediately went to complain. He vividly repeated what Bai Xiaowen had said earlier.
The military officer was more cautious. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir, please wait! What do you mean by that? "
Bai Xiaowen coughed. "Don't tell me you're like those stupid mortals who don't know anything? Heaven and earth are changing. Heaven and Earth are turning upside down. The entire Central Plains is falling apart. This small Jiangdu City is like an egg that has been overturned. If we don't save ourselves in time, we'll be destroyed in a day. "
Bai Xiaowen had his reasons for saying this.
According to his inference, this Spiritual Realm space fragment had just fallen in the southwest not long ago.
In other words, the corresponding plane world at the end of the Sui Dynasty had just completed its great unification!
Great unification was no different from turning the sky and earth upside down to the living beings of the dimensions. This was especially so for the natives of these collapsed fragmented worlds. They would definitely be even more confused — for example, Jiang Capital City was now isolated from the outside world. The boundaries of the space were like "air walls" that they could not walk out of.
It was fine if the soldiers guarding the gate didn't know about it, but the military officers with a little bit of status should already know.
As expected, the military officer's expression changed. He said in a low voice, "Taoist Bai Wenzi, please follow me. Let's talk in private."
Bai Xiaowen swaggered into the city. Li Shuyi and Cecilia followed closely behind him.
After entering the city, the military officer found a secluded corner to talk.
The military officer introduced himself. He was the gate guard of Jiangdu City. His name was Tang Fengyi.
Bai Xiaowen tried to use Insight on Tang Fengyi, but he received a notification.
"The target is affected by the dragon-patterned gold box. Insight is unable to obtain true information …"
"Unknown reason. Data is in disorder … Do you want to spend 1,000 psionic energy points to obtain true information of the target?"
Bai Xiaowen chose "Yes". He turned his face to the side without leaving a trace. He made a gesture of holding his forehead with his hand, covering his left eye that was flickering with a red light.
In the past, when the Eye of Evolution deducted an additional fee to obtain true information of the target, the target would be alerted. But this time, there was no warning. Bai Xiaowen understood that his mental strength was already extremely high. There was a certain degree of suppression, which could completely prevent the gate guard from reacting.
The moment he saw Tang Fengyi's true information, Bai Xiaowen felt a chill run down his spine. His scalp was slightly numb.
After the red light in his left eye disappeared, Bai Xiaowen put down his left hand.
The gate guard, Tang Fengyi, didn't notice at all. He cupped his hands and said, "Taoist Priest, you're right! Jiangdu City has been isolated from the world. Both the citizens and the officials in the city can't find a way out. Since Taoist Priest is an otherworldly expert, please enlighten us. "
Bai Xiaowen calmed himself down and said, "The outside of the city is isolated because of demons."
