Chapter 5 Melting City

The white road seemed to have no end, and the flowing light seemed to pass by him as if the long river of time slowly passed away. Lu Yu stood behind the old Taoist priest and stared in front of him, thinking for a moment. He knew nothing about the person in front of him, so there was no safe solution even if he wanted to get out of the trouble at this time.

"Little doll, you don't need to be wary of Taoist masters. To tell you the truth, if you follow Taoist masters, you will have a great creation, which is a good thing that others can't ask for in ten lifetimes!" The old Taoist priest suddenly said.

"The great creation? The younger generation is afraid of not being blessed. If the senior is really kind, he should let me go!" Lu Yu replied with a sneer.

"Hey!" The old Taoist priest grinned and said, "I'm afraid I can't let you go. Only you can afford this big creation. If it were someone else, I'm afraid..."

The old Taoist priest said this and kept silent, but the smile on his face did not diminish. Lu Yu looked at it and asked in a low voice, "I'm afraid what?"

The old Taoist priest turned his head and looked at Lu Yu showing a mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "Do you think the dead can stand it?"

Lu Yu changed slightly when he heard the words and said in a low voice, "Where on earth are you taking me?"

"There are too many problems with little dolls, which are easy to get bored!" The old Taoist priest turned his head, stopped looking at him, and said impatiently, "You will naturally know when you arrive!" Lu Yu saw this and didn't say much, but secretly vigilant and felt uneasy in his heart.

"Hum..." The two walked all the way and didn't know how far they had gone. Suddenly, the light in front of them was gloomy, the red streamer waving and shining, and the black fog tossing and turning. The white sky road suddenly broke. Lu Yu trembled all over and only felt that his eyes lit up. The scene in front of him made him stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.

"This... This is..." Lu Yu looked ethereal, and a city in front of him suddenly appeared in front of him. The city, thousands of caves, seemed to hollow out the interior of Yanshan, surrounded by geocentric magma, and dozens of huge chains of magma like snakes wrapped around the city in the mountain, and a stone tablet on the farthest part of the city was written molten city. Two big words.

"It is said that Yanshan has beautiful and ancient miracles have been passed down. Only when the predestined people can peep at it. I thought it was just a myth, but I didn't expect it to be true. This city in the mountains is ingenious and amazing, but why has it never been found in the endless years?" Lu Yu looked at the huge city in front of him and muttered to himself.

The old Taoist priest saw the doubt in his heart and said with a smile, "The melting city is a city in the mountains. Although it seems to be hollowed out of the interior of Yanshan Mountain, it is actually a different world, in the void!"

"But how can there be a city here, so magnificent, which seems to contain mystery!" Lu Yu looked around the melting city, not only ingenious, but also countless large arrays hidden in the void, layer by layer, turning into a natural array guarding the city.

"Hey, this naturally involves secrets. Yanshan has been passed down for a long time. Not to mention the Red Emperor Shennong, he has been famous since ancient times. Even if there is such a city hidden in the mountain, it is not surprising!" The old Taoist priest said proudly. Lu Yu was thoughtful when he heard the words, but he was not asking about the origin of the city. The old Taoist priest was fearless and made it clear that he would not tell him the truth.

"Let's go. Speaking of which, I haven't been here for a long time. Let's go first!" The old Taoist priest moved slightly and was about to get up. At this time, Lu Yu said strangely, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Master Tao said, you will know when you enter!" The old Taoist priest did not look back and walked directly inward. Lu Yu had no choice but to follow. The appearance of the melting city was bright and magnificent, but after entering, it was like a dead city. The whole city was empty, without a trace of vitality and shadow.

"This city is very strange, cast in the veins of the heart, but there is no one in the city, just like a dead city!" Lu Yu frowned and walked in the city. The scorching air made it difficult for him to adapt for a moment. Buzz..." Although there is no one in the city, the two towers in the distance are shining brightly from time to time, like the scepter of a god, which is particularly eye-catching in this silent dead city.

"What's your intention to bring me to a dead city? If you want to kill you and give you pain, what is this!" The hot waves sprayed thin, and the endless lines appeared around the two towers. At this time, Lu Yu shouted and was a little restless. When the old Taoist priest heard this, he finally stopped and said, "The little doll is so impatient. The Taoist priest said earlier that you have great creation here, and it is natural for you to bring you!"

"Think of me? Humph!" Lu Yu sneered and said, "I know what you are calculating. Yanshan was once a Chidi Taoist temple in ancient times. You know that you have practiced to leave Huo Xuantian and brought me here. I'm afraid it has something to do with this!"

Lu Yu stared deeply at the old Taoist priest. The latter's face was calm and unmoved, but said indifferently, "The little doll is smart. If you want to do whatever you want, Taoist master, my heart will be clear, and you will know it in the future. Now give me the way, otherwise..." The old Taoist priest's words were forceful and threatening. Although Lu Yu hated it, he had no choice but to follow him.

I don't know how long the two have left. The old Taoist priest took Lu Yu to a broken temple in the city. The divine platform in the temple had already been destroyed, and the cobwebs in their eyes were extraordinary, glowing with a faint red light, like a line of fire. Lu Yu sat in and jumped over the broken wood wall under his feet. The murals were mottled, but they were still recognizable. On one of the portraits, the firebirds kept rushing to the sky, like gods. Not far away, another fire light confronted him. The scorching sun rose from the middle, and the fire was based on it. Then, a high mountain rose under them, like the emperor of heaven. Xinggong.

"Is this mural the origin of Yanshan?" Lu Yu looked at the wall and was slightly distracted. At this moment, he secretly said in his heart.

"Dong Dong... At this time, the old Taoist priest came to a wall and gently tapped his hand three times, and then he didn't know what he was saying. At the same time, he imprinted his hands, and the formula was constantly changing. Finally, there was a change on the wall. A streamer flashed, depicting a rune on the wall, and a door appeared out of thin air.

"Squeak..."

The scarlet gate slowly opened, making a loose sound of wood. The old Taoist priest retreated slightly. At this time, a person came out of the door. Lu Yu was horrified when he saw the situation. He thought it was a dead city, but who knew that there were still people in the city. The man was very short, about eight or nine years old. One of his eyes was covered with cloth, and he could faintly see the already withered eye sockets from the cracks. The man came out and was stunned when he saw the old Taoist priest, followed by a smile on his scarred face, and his hoarse voice sounded at the right time: "Yo, Master Li, you haven't been here for a while! Come on, inside, please!" The man made an invitation posture and glanced at Lu Yu but did not stay much. The old man said a soft voice, but nodded, wink at Lu Yu, and walked in, as if he was already familiar with the way! Seeing this, Lu Yu could only follow.

"Master Li, where have you been these days? In the days when you haven't come, the melting source in the city has been much less, so Lord Yan has been angry!" Along the way, the man was very attentive to the old Taoist priest and served him with condolences. Although the old Taoist priest did not do anything, he was not lukewarm to him. All the conversations were dealt with without saying a word, and the man was also happy about it.

"Master Li, I'm here, I'll inform you right away!" When the crowd came to an attic, the man bent down and was about to go in, but he saw the old Taoist priest raising his hand and signaling, "No, I'll just go in by myself!"

"This..." The man seemed to be a little embarrassed, but before he could say anything, the old Taoist priest had already pulled Lu Yujing straight in.

"Master Li... Master Li..." The man's face changed greatly. While chasing behind, he shouted. In this way, the three of them came to a dark pavilion. The old Taoist priest pushed the door straight in. At this time, a middle-aged man in the room looked pale and held a scroll in his hand. He seemed to be watching. When he saw someone coming in, he frowned slightly and waited until he saw it clearly. First, he was slightly stunned, and then his eyes sank.

"Master Li..." The shout behind him approached, and the one-eyed man followed him and saw the man bow slightly and said, "Lord Yan, Master Li..."

Before the one-eyed man finished speaking, the middle-aged man known as Lord Yan put down the scroll in his hand and waved his hand and said, "Ok, you go down first!" The one-eyed man bowed and retreated, leaving only Lu Yu and three people. The old Taoist priest grinned and looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Yanqiu, you are getting better and better at it now. You have to inform him when you meet him! If I let you be the lord of this melting city another day, don't kneel down and come here!" The old Taoist priest laughed wantonly, and the middle-aged man known as Yanqiu frowned slightly and was faintly angry, but was finally suppressed by him.

"You haven't been here for a long time. What's the matter?" Yanqiu said indifferently.

Seeing that he did not stubble, the old Taoist priest said uninterestingly and said, "I heard that the melting source of the two towers has been in short supply recently, and you don't seem to be very satisfied. Well, I'll send you a seedling of the Holy Land, the realm of true spiritual success!"

The old Taoist priest's words were frivolous, but it was as shocking as thunder in Lu Yu's ears. Although he didn't know what the former was saying, the real spirit of the seedlings of the Holy Land were undoubtedly talking about him, which gave him a very bad feeling. The old Taoist priest seemed to be making a deal with the man in front of him.

"Oh? You are becoming more and more unscrupulous now. People in the Holy Land, you have never brought more cultivation than the Holy Fetus!" Yanqiu said indifferently, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense, you know the rules!" The old Taoist priest said unconsciously. Yanqiu nodded and said, I will give you the list later.

"Wait!" At this moment, Lu Yu finally couldn't help shouting, "Old Taoist priest, what are you talking to him? Where is this place!"

"Nothing, Taoist is just talking to him about the value of the little doll!" The old Taoist priest grinned and said, Lu Yu's heart sank, and he felt more and more wrong. He turned his head and wanted to leave.

"I want to get out of here!" Lu Yu shouted loudly, and the brilliance gathered all over his body. Suddenly, an invisible force restricted him, as if it was wrapped in a huge net, and even a trace of magic power could not work. Lu Yu hummed and collapsed to the ground. At the same time, he raised his head and his eyes were full of horror at the two people in front of him.

"Hmm, you still want to go out when you enter the melting city. What do you think this is! To tell you the truth, you have been sold to Rongcheng by him, and from then on, you will be the so-called slave!" Yanqiu snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of indifference!
