Looking closer, this ancient city is even more majestic. The city walls are mottled and engraved with the traces of time. I don’t know how many years this city has been standing here. There are many traces of repairs and hacking on it. It’s hard to imagine that it’s like this.

How many brutal battles has this city suffered in this restricted area?

Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Gu Bai could guess a thing or two from these traces, and he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Li Tiannan looked at Gu Bai who was caressing the city wall, smiled faintly, and said nothing.

After Gu Bai finished sighing, he led Gu Bai into the city.

There are only two gates in this huge city. One is at the back, the entrance to the outside world, and the other is in the front. Stepping out is a restricted area.

There is no guard guarding the back door, there is only a table, and behind the table sits an old man wearing a green robe. The old man has gray hair and looks almost 70 years old, but his face is ruddy, his breathing is smooth, and his vitality is very strong.

Sitting there does not show any terrifying aura, but it can give people a feeling of calmness and self-power.

The old man was sitting behind the chair and dozing off, but when Gu Bai and the others were still a hundred meters away, the old man's eyes opened. In an instant, it seemed that the world had become much brighter. Maybe it was because Gu Bai and the others felt that

No problem, I closed my eyes immediately and continued snoring.

Li Tiannan signaled Gu Bai not to speak loudly, and the three of them walked past the old man slowly. When they came to the old man, Li Tiannan bowed respectfully, as did Han Binning and Wei Yuchen. Gu Bai was also helpless.

Maybe I learned from them and did the same.

Passing by the old man and arriving under the city gate, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Bai asked: "Who is that old man?"

Li Tiannan said in a deep voice: "No. 15 on the Heavenly Ranking, Long Dingyun, titled, Fudo Ming King!"

"Prince Immovable Ming is really immovable!" Gu Bai joked and said, "He was really immobile just now!"

"Ahem!" Li Tiannan glared at Gu Bai and said hurriedly: "Be careful what you say!"

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Bai said nonchalantly: "For such a big person, how can he care about us?"

Li Tiannan sighed and said, "I hope you can respect Mr. Long!"

Li Tiannan asked earnestly: "Do you know how long Mr. Long has been guarding here?"

"How long?"

"Fifty years!" Li Tiannan said: "And what you said is indeed correct. He did not move. Moreover, it was not just that he did not move just now, but he has not moved in the past fifty years!"

Gu Bai asked curiously: "Why? Is there something wrong with his legs and feet?"

After hearing Gu Bai's words, Han Binning glared at Gu Bai and said angrily: "Mr. Long is a saint. He has condensed his golden body. Even if his legs and feet are annihilated, he can be reborn in an instant. How could there be something wrong?"

Li Tiannan said: "It's not that there is something wrong with the legs or feet, but that position. Once you sit down, you are connected to the whole city, so you can't move!"

Gu Bai was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this.

Gu Bai looked at Long Dingyun's back and said in a deep voice: "In other words, once you sit in that position, you will completely lose your freedom?"

Li Tiannan nodded, with even more admiration in his heart.

Gu Bai's heart sank, and he also changed his view on Long Dingyun. He didn't expect this old Dong... ahem,

The old man was so selfless, willing to sit there and endure the wind and sun in order to protect the entire city. This kind of willpower is really admirable.

At this time, Gu Bai also put away his previous playful thoughts and bowed respectfully in the direction of the old man.

Gu Bai said in a deep voice: "Is Mr. Long really willing to give up his freedom?"

"There is always something more important than freedom in this world!" Li Tiannan said with a faint smile: "I don't understand it now, and you don't understand it now, but Mr. Long sees it much more clearly than us!"

Gu Bai nodded thoughtfully, maybe for some people, the existence of life is noble.

Gu Bai looked at Li Tiannan and asked, "If I ask you to sit there one day, will you agree?"

"Should... yes!"

After Li Tiannan was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice.

Gu Bai smiled and did not doubt what Li Tiannan said. If anyone else said this, he would definitely sneer at it, but if it were Li Tiannan, maybe he would actually do this.

Li Tiannan asked: "What about you?"

Gu Bai smiled lightly and said, "I don't know how!"

"Why?"

"Sitting there is so boring!" Gu Bai said lightly: "If it were me, I would choose to fight to the end and kill everyone in the penalty area, or directly beat them and make them surrender, sitting here with

If you don’t sit down, what does it matter?”

Although what Gu Bai said seemed to be a joke, it gave Li Tiannan a warning. At this time, Li Tiannan's eyes changed when he looked at Gu Bai, with a hint of respect in his shock.

What a few people didn't notice was that Long Dingyun, who was dozing off, also opened his eyes at this time, with a hint of relief in his eyes. Although he didn't know who Gu Bai was, Gu Bai could say such a thing.

, which is enough for him to admire.

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Why didn't I think of it back then?"

Long Dingyun murmured in a low voice, and after finishing speaking, he continued to sleep on the table.

After entering the city, Gu Bai noticed that the forbidden city looked quite depressed from the outside, but it was different inside. Although it was not exactly lively, it could be said that there were people coming and going.

Gu Bai estimated that most of these people were students from colleges and universities who came here to practice, and some of them came here to do business.

Needless to say, the influence of this commodity economy is really quite large. Some of the shops that are very popular outside are also found here.

Restaurants, clothing stores and various entertainment facilities are all available here. If you ignore the somewhat weird atmosphere in the city, Gu Bai really feels like he has arrived in a city that never sleeps.

Li Tiannan smiled and said: "How is it? It's not bad here, right?"

Gu Bai nodded, quite satisfied with the environment here.

When he came here before, Gu Bai thought of countless scenes in his mind, including ruins and thatched huts, but he never expected that this place is actually no different from the city outside. This is really unexpected.

.

There were people coming and going, some alone and some traveling in groups. Everyone looked very busy, and no one even spoke.

At this time, four or five large trucks slowly drove over. On the trucks were the logos of the military headquarters. When these trucks passed by, people walking on the road stopped at the same time and bowed to the trucks until they watched the trucks leave.

After that, the streets finally returned to their original state.

Gu Bai asked curiously: "What is that truck for? Is there any big shot sitting on it?"

Li Tiannan's face looked a little heavy and he said softly: "That's the military's corpse truck!"

Gu Bai was stunned, he didn't expect it to be this.

Li Tiannan sighed and said: "The people in the car are lucky. At least they can keep a whole body, but most people are not so lucky. After all, if they die in the restricted area, there is not much chance of finding the body."

!”

Gu Bai was also in awe. Why are there so many quiet years? It's just that there are people carrying heavy loads.

"Let's go!"

Li Tiannan said hello and walked forward on his own.

The military headquarters has a great influence, not only having strongholds in major barriers, but also in restricted areas.

Li Tiannan and the three of them did not wander around after entering the city, but went directly to the military stronghold.

This time the competition with the Golden Knife Sect was also taken seriously by the senior military officials. Although the Golden Knife Sect was not one of those first-class sects, its strength was not weak. Moreover, this time the spiritual ore in the secret place

It is also an important cultivation resource. If it is given to the Golden Sword Sect, it will increase the strength of the Golden Sword Sect. If the enemy's strength increases, it means that more people will die in the future. They are sure of this kind of thing.

Won't let it happen.

"minister!"

"minister!"

"..."

After entering the military camp, many people saluted Li Tiannan along the way. It was obvious that Li Tiannan was already a frequent visitor here.

Li Tiannan is about the same age as Gu Bai, even younger than Gu Bai, but a person like this has been struggling in the penalty area for many years. From this point of view, it is understandable that Li Tiannan can achieve the status and strength he has today.

of.

It must have been discussed before, so Li Tiannan took Gu Bai and others directly to a big tent.

After entering, Gu Bai saw that there were many people inside. Most of them were young people wearing military uniforms with a four written on their armbands. It was obvious that these young people were from the Fourth Military Department.

"Tian Nan, you are back!"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. His expression was very serious at first, but after seeing Li Tiannan, his expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Captain!"

Li Tiannan saluted with military salute and shouted respectfully.

Li Tiannan asked: "What are you doing? Why do you bring so many people together?"

The middle-aged man said: "Aren't we going to compete with the Golden Blade Sect tomorrow? We're choosing someone!"

This guy frowned when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was worried about this matter.

Li Tiannan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, captain, it's okay. We will definitely win tomorrow!"

The middle-aged man was stunned and said with a smile on his face: "Did you invite foreign aid back?"

Li Tiannan nodded and pointed at Gu Bai.

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Who is this little brother?"

"My friend, Gu Bai, is also the foreign aid I invited this time!" Li Tiannan introduced: "Captain, don't look at his shortcomings, but his strength is still pretty good!"

"Who are you talking about?"

Gu Bai glared at Li Tiannan, this guy really just went to the house to uncover the tiles without fighting for a day. Now he has returned to his own territory and started to wander again.

"Gu Bai?"
Chapter completed!
