After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 160 The Real Panlong City
However, it did not.

People either nodded and smiled at him, or just ignored him, and passed by quickly without looking back.

Does that make him an aboriginal?

He Lingchuan knew that Panlong's soldiers and civilians were very vigilant against outsiders, and those who invaded illegally would be treated as spies.

Is it because I fought side by side with the Gale Army last time, so I obtained the permission for the Dafang Pot?

With these questions in mind, he moved on.

Along the way, there are green mountains and green waters, wild flowers covered the long slopes, colorful butterflies are in pairs, and the crops in the fields are growing gratifyingly.

Everything was extraordinarily quiet, and it seemed even more peaceful than most of the countryside that the supporting army passed through.

However, this is the Panlong Wasteland, a land watered by countless people with their flesh and blood.

The Panlong City in sight is also getting closer and more magnificent.

The outline of this city looks similar to what he saw in the Coiling Dragon Illusion, lacking some edges and corners, and also lacking a lot of fortifications, the most obvious is that there are no hideous crocodile vertebrae on the city gate, which can be seen In this period, Panlong City faced far less pressure than in the later period.

But Panlong City still gave any outsiders a sense of oppression.

When he got closer, He Lingchuan discovered that although there were no crocodile vertebrae under the battlements, the outer city wall was covered with brown-gray climbing vines.They are densely packed on the wall, and others can hardly see the true color of the wall.It's spring now, but the plant is full of fist-sized fruits, light red and shaped like papayas.

I have to say that this wall greening work is a bit of a failure.

The most important south gate of Panlong City, why plant climbing plants?The vines of these plants are thick, and the old vines at the bottom are thicker than his thighs, isn't it suitable for the enemy to climb?

Not only He Lingchuan, but many outsiders were also pointing fingers.

Yes, Panlong City is actually different from what he imagined, it's not that it is heavily guarded and strangers should not get close.He glanced casually and saw strangers with different clothes and even skin colors on the front, back, left and right.

He also recognized that several pedestrians on the road turned out to be merchants from the Dan Gang, and there was a convoy ahead of them waiting to clear the customs.There are at least four to fifty people in the team, and more than a dozen carriages are fully loaded with goods.

These should all be outsiders, because many people looked at Panlong City with the same expression as He Lingchuan, and they didn't hide their surprise.

The gate of the city was ajar, and there were about seven or eight soldiers in charge of the security check. They were a small team, neatly dressed and energetic, but with a friendly expression.

They check the index and customs clearance documents brought out by pedestrians. For caravans, they will randomly check the goods and release them if they match the documents.

It doesn't look very strict.

He Lingchuan admitted that this is more relaxed than the clearance of Heishui City.

Soon it will be his turn.

He Lingchuan smiled kindly. In fact, he was lucky with his legs, ready to turn around and run away if something went wrong.After all, he didn't have any identification documents.

He just came to try his luck.The dream starts from here, if you don't enter Panlong, you don't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, when the city gate guard saw him, he didn't even want the index documents, and waved his hand to signal him to pass quickly.

He Lingchuan hesitated and paused.

The city gate guard said directly: "Go, don't block the way!"

It doesn't seem to be deceitful, He Lingchuan took a big stride and quickly slipped through the city gate.

Sure enough, after fighting side by side with the Gale Army last time, he gained... the favor of Panlong City?No more street rats.

The city gate tower was as grand as he remembered, but it only had two gates, unlike the triple gates of later generations.

After customs clearance, first face a large square.

The square is still that big, but the layout is different from what he remembered.The strange thing is that there is a lake on the edge of the square, which is sparkling and steaming, and it is still a hot spring lake.

The shore is dotted with downy papyrus.

He Lingchuan made a stop towards the lake, and the lake was clear and sandy, and there were no koi in it, but the local brook fish swarmed in groups.

At this time, the Chipa Plateau has a criss-cross water network and lush forests and grasses. It is a pearl on the Panlong Wasteland.He Lingchuan had also seen this lake in Panlong City in later generations, but it had long since dried up, leaving only its outline.

Only when he saw it at this moment, did he know that there are many steps built on the lakeshore, people can walk directly from the square to the lake to fetch water without any obstacles.

He tried the water temperature and found it was over 40 degrees.

There are fish in such a high water temperature?Can it be cooked at [-] degrees?
He Lingchuan looked back again, and saw scaffolding erected on the high wall beside the city gate, where many craftsmen were beating and beating.

The sculpture is seven or eight feet high. Although it is not finished, it can already be seen clearly.

That outline, that line, um, it's Jiao.

In the Coiling Dragon Illusion, there is also a sculpture of a black flood dragon beside the city gate, but here, it has not yet been completed.

Now He Lingchuan knew what era he had entered.

At this stage, after the Panlong Wasteland became an enclave again, Zhong Shengguang was completely disappointed with his homeland, so he replaced the golden bull, the original guardian beast behind the city gate, with a sculpture of a black flood dragon.

He Lingchuan chose a random road to stroll in. The streets are spacious and tidy, with row upon row of buildings, and there are people hawking outside the shops... just like any other bustling city.

After seeing the desolation and desolation of the later generations of Panlong City, and seeing its current appearance, even if He Lingchuan knew that he was in a dream, he still felt unreal as if he had been in a lifetime.

Especially the traffickers, civilians and wealthy businessmen who come and go, what should be joking, what should be bargained, what should be quarreled, and what should be in a hurry, is full of the breath of life.

The tragic, gloomy, and sullen atmosphere that He Lingchuan thought did not exist.

Was the dream he was in once real?
The people who live here still live their lives, bend their waists for five buckets of rice as usual, buy candied haws for two cents for their children as usual, and cheat as usual——

When He Lingchuan walked to the door of a restaurant, he was hit by a child rushing from the opposite side.

This little ghost is as short and thin as a monkey, but with great strength, an ordinary person would probably be knocked over, but He Lingchuan has practiced martial arts for many years, and his foot is as stable as a clock.Not only did the boy not hit him, but he was bounced two feet away and sat down on the ground.

He stared angrily: "You man, can you walk well?"

"You brat, what are you doing by pulling my necklace?" He Lingchuan looked down, and saw that the necklace that was originally close to the flesh was caught outside the skirt, and the small piece of divine bone was actually shining with a faint red light.

When the little ghost bumped into him, he felt a tight neck, but fortunately the chain was not broken even though it was thin.

The boy jumped up from the ground and ran away.

He Lingchuan was about to catch up and give him a big bag, when someone slapped him hard on the shoulder, and a voice said: "Hey, He Lingchuan!"

Someone here actually knows his name!He Lingchuan was so excited that the kid stopped chasing him and turned to look at the person.

This man was thin and medium-sized, with round eyes. He was a spirited young man, but he was leaning on crutches under his arm, and he dared not touch the ground with one leg dangling.

"It really is you!" He looked at He Lingchuan and smiled, showing his big white teeth.

"Hu Min!" He Lingchuan was also very pleasantly surprised, and hugged his shoulders and patted his back when he went up, "Where did this cripple come from?"

His surprise was that not only did he meet an old acquaintance in his dream, but the other party still remembered him!
This shows that he left a mark in the dream, not just a spectator or a passer-by.

This discovery is of great significance.

"I wanted to play a dime at the Shuanghe Restaurant, but I saw you standing here, foolishly being touched by the little devil!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Hu Min is his comrade in the Gale Army who defended the car formation together in his dream last time.He Lingchuan had a broken arm, so many crossbows were installed by Hu Min for him.

A man's sincere friendship is not to go to the same window together, but to carry a gun together.

"Let's go, let's have a drink." He Lingchuan saw Shuanghe Restaurant as soon as he turned his head.

Why?Isn't this the place where Sun Fuping called them to discuss countermeasures after the expedition team entered the Panlong ruins?It's just that the restaurant at that time only had a signboard shaking in the wind, and the words were illegible.

But the Shuanghe Restaurant in front of him had big gilt characters on the plaque. There were many drinkers in the restaurant and the business was booming.

The two happily entered the restaurant and sat down. When the waiter came to ask the guest what wine and food he wanted, He Lingchuan touched his pocket belatedly.

No, it's as clean as freshly washed!

Did Broken Knife send him into a dream, and only let him bring a set of clothes?

Shouldn't some start-up capital be given?This is too stingy.

But Hu Min was excitedly ordering something: "Old Luo Bai first came to a pot, fried grass head for us, a plate of lard residue, mixed with a pig's head meat! Oh yes, do you want to eat goose or chicken?"

"I..." Do people without money have a choice?He Lingchuan's smile was a bit bitter, "I can do anything."

"Then get some sliced ​​goose legs, the biggest and fattest ones!"

When He Lingchuan heard the word "most", he hurriedly said, "Is it too much? I came here after dinner, don't waste it."

Hu Min stared: "You're full, I'm still hungry. It's just this little, I can't finish this jar of wine! You can order more—"

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized: "Oh! It's okay, it's okay, eat whatever you want, I'll treat you to this meal today!"

"This..." That's great! "...How can I do it! I'm the kind who takes advantage of others casually?"

He Lingchuan also stared, and Hu Min laughed: "Brothers, what are you talking about?"

In less than two blinks, lard residue was delivered.

This is actually the dregs left over from cooking lard, with some pepper powder added.Meat food is so expensive, you can't throw it away, and it's sold to drinkers, and a plate only costs two big kids.

He Lingchuan squeezed an entrance, it was crispy and crispy, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became.At first glance, Hu Min is an old alcoholic, and he knows that lard dregs are good.

"How did you survive?" Hu Min asked him, "We guarded until dawn. Finally, General Red personally supported you, but you were beaten into the water. After retreating from the enemy, even Commander Xiao went into the water himself, but he couldn't find him." you."

Commander Xiao jumped into the water to look for him?He Lingchuan was moved.

He remembered that he climbed up the boulder and wanted to pay his respects to the Red General, but he was woken up by the servant, which is still a regret.But in the eyes of Hu Min, Commander Xiao and others, he was knocked into the water by the enemy and disappeared?
