"You are young." The man's strong voice came.

Jiang Xiao turned his head slightly and saw a slightly weathered face.

This man looked to be in his thirties, wearing a bamboo hat and straw raincoat. He had long, jet-black hair that reached his shoulders, and sparse stubble on his face.

His face was slightly weathered, and his eyes were quite sharp. In his hand, he held a very strange weapon.

It looked like two broad, crescent-shaped scimitars with a large curve in the blade. The handles of the two knives were pieced together, forming an "s" shape, which was quite peculiar.

Jiang Xiao said, "Rank and military titles are based on military achievements. That's how our Night Watch Army works. Why?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiao's slightly provocative words were met with the other party's approval.

The man, who resembled an ancient knight-errant, actually nodded, his sharp eyes looking at Sanwei and He Yun.

"Team, unit, number." Jiang Xiao asked back in the same words.

The man's voice was powerful and resonant as he said, "Hua Zhong Night Watch Army, Chasing Light Regiment, Falcon Squad. Code name Peregrine, name Yue Yuchen."

Jiang Xiao looked at the weathered assassin in front of him and nodded secretly. Worthy of the Peregrine title, those eyes were indeed sharp.

"Let's talk inside." Peregrine turned and walked towards the city gate. Jiang Xiao looked at the two people behind him, then stepped forward and followed. At the rear, Jin Lü still grinned with a strange smile and followed.

The heavy door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a crack, and people filed in.

Jiang Xiao said, "Brother, when did you come here? How did you get here?"

Peregrine tightened the wide raincoat on his body, his words concise and forceful: "August 2014, Yecheng northern suburbs, Central Province, the top of the ancient pagoda."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. This guy entered the sacred ruins of the ancient pagoda space in 2014, and appeared in the alien planet as early as 2019?

Moreover, judging from the ghost-faced monk's proficiency in Chinese and the magnificent city walls, Peregrine Yue Yuchen had probably been here for a long time.

In other words, Peregrine didn't spend much time searching for an exit in the upper dimension?

Jiang Xiao curiously asked, "What is the top of the ancient pagoda like in the upper dimension? Is it the same as the lower level?"

"In the upper dimension, the terrain is no longer limited to the inside of the pagoda. When I first entered, I was in the wilderness. In the upper dimension, there are terrains all over the Central Plains." Peregrine explained, then directly changed the topic.

He asked, "How did you guys get in?"

Jiang Xiao showed great respect for He Yun and took the lead in introducing him: "Senior He Yun, the first pioneers of the Northern Wilderness Army, have been lost in the upper dimension for probably 20 years."

Peregrine stopped and looked at the old man in surprise.

When He Yun reported the team's information, Peregrine had already noticed something, but when Jiang Xiao told him clearly, Peregrine was also a little dazed.

Was this old man from the generation that pioneered the world?

Then, Jiang Xiao pointed to the blind girl who had been silent, with two dry tear stains on her face, and introduced, "This is my teammate, code name Sanwei."

Hearing this, Sanwei (blind girl) paused slightly. This young man beside her was already the deputy head of the Weiyu Regiment, so what he said...did he still recognize her name?

"As for me..." Jiang Xiao said as he followed Peregrine, "Beijiang Province, Jiangbin City, Jiannan Village, Snowfield Other-dimensional Space."

As he spoke, Jiang Xiao curiously looked at the interior of the city, walking on the flat loess road, and seeing the towering giant pagodas.

The city was more prosperous than expected, and ghost-faced monks could be seen "wandering" on the streets.

Compared with the lively streets of human society, the voices of the ghost-faced monks were very strange. The gloomy and hoarse voices didn't sound like chatting, but more like ghosts wailing.

Most of the houses here were made of wood, but there were also stone ones. Jiang Xiao even saw a blacksmith shop, which was brightly lit and quite eye-catching, but the shop didn't have a signboard.

At this time, a ghost-faced monk was holding a large ring-pommel saber, gently tapping the blade with his dark fingers, seemingly a buyer choosing a weapon.

What was especially strange was that in this city, every household did not turn on the lights.

It was only just night, but almost all the other houses except the blacksmith shop were dark.

There were no lights on the streets, but there were some bright spots.

The faint light emitted from the eerie eyes of the ghost-faced monks made this dark and eerie city even more like a ghost town...

"It's really ancient, eerie ancient style..." Jiang Xiao sighed softly, secretly amazed. The ghost-faced monks wearing hats and straw raincoats looked like ancient knights-errant, so mysterious.

Jiang Xiao paused slightly, looking at the scene that impacted his mind...

What is experience?

What is a story?

A man's head should not only look up at the sky.

Travel ten thousand miles, or read ten thousand books.

Jiang Xiao stopped, and everyone stopped. In front of them, four tall ghost-faced monks walked over, their steps uniform, obviously not strolling around, but more like patrolling.

Their "uniforms" were exactly the same, all wearing bamboo hats and straw raincoats. Unlike the ghost-faced monks strolling on the street, thin silver lines constantly slid down their straw raincoats, from top to bottom, extremely beautiful.

Because their hat brims were very low, it was impossible to distinguish the species from the color of their eyes, but judging from the color of the thin lines on their clothes, these should be four silver Lü.

"Judging from what this gold Lü said just now, it seems that you have some trouble here?" Jiang Xiao asked, taking advantage of the opportunity as Jin Lü stepped forward to negotiate with the four silver Lü.

Peregrine nodded and said, "Let's go see my teammates first."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiao looked at Peregrine and said, "There are other people who strayed in here?"

Peregrine said, "There are three Hua Xia soldiers here in total. There is one of my teammates, and there is also an earlier arrival. That person came earlier than both of us. He built this city single-handedly."

"Let's go." Not far away, Jin Lü's hoarse voice floated over.

The group continued to move forward, and the ghost-faced monks wandering on the streets were also curiously looking at these unfamiliar humans.

A few minutes later, the group arrived in front of a pagoda. In this city, there were three pagodas in total, and this was one of them.

And the area occupied by this pagoda was enough to equal the area of a small city. One could imagine how magnificent this "Ye Ancient Pagoda" city was.

Peregrine stepped forward and led the crowd into the ancient pagoda maze.

In this dark and complex maze, Peregrine seemed to be strolling in his own backyard. After turning seven corners and eight turns, everyone saw the light!

Walking out of the maze, Jiang Xiao had to shield his eyes with one hand.

After being in a dark environment for a long time, he would naturally be very uncomfortable suddenly facing this dazzling light.

Through his fingers, Jiang Xiao saw a familiar scene.

In the lower dimension, during the preliminary round of the last World Cup, Jiang Xiao, Hou Mingming, and Zhao Wenlong had spent a long time running in the other-dimensional space at the top of the ancient pagoda.

At that time, Jiang Xiao had also seen such stone pillars inside the ancient pagoda.

This was a huge stone pillar with a diameter of at least ten meters, with a milky white color throughout. On the surface of this milky white stone pillar, there were a large number of black spots, twisting and floating upwards along a special trajectory, like strange black snakes.

Peregrine raised his hand, holding the "s"-shaped strange scimitar, and pointed to the thick milky white stone pillar in the distance, saying, "That stone pillar was originally an ordinary stone pillar.

Infected by this light, a layer of milky white color covered its surface, including the black spots floating upwards. We don't know where it comes from. You can understand it as a gift from nature to living beings."

As he spoke, Peregrine turned to look at Jiang Xiao and said, "No one knows where the soaring milky white energy comes from. The stone pillar is built on it, and the ancient pagoda is built on the stone pillar.

In the Central Plains, energy pillars with white bottoms and black spots occasionally appear. The ghost-faced monks will gather there and establish their own place of survival, which is the so-called ancient pagoda.

I don't know how the ghost-faced monks know how to build this maze-like ancient pagoda, why they have relevant knowledge in their minds, including where their powerful martial arts come from, but this maze is used to defend against enemies.

Before my teammate came here, there was no city or other buildings here, only three ancient pagodas built on the light pillars.

If you have traveled the Central Plains, you may see some newly opened light pillars, or a single ancient pagoda.

Ghost-faced monks like this white energy. It is not yet clear what benefits this energy has for them, but they are born to like this energy.

Similarly, other creatures in the Central Plains also like this energy, so the ghost-faced monks choose to wrap and hide the light pillar by building a pagoda, and choose to use a maze to resist foreign enemies."

Jiang Xiao nodded secretly, absorbing the relevant knowledge of this alien planet, and asked, "The ghost-faced monks are probably at the diamond level, right? Doesn't that mean they can walk sideways in this Central Plains? Why do they still need to build pagodas to hide this energy pillar?"

Peregrine shook his head: "In the lower dimension, gold Lü and yi Lü are at the gold level, and cao Lü and silver Lü are at the silver level.

In the upper dimension, gold Lü and yi Lü are at the platinum level, and cao Lü and silver Lü are at the gold level.

In the alien planet, all ghost-faced monks are at the platinum level."

Jiang Xiao nodded. The so-called projection is not weakened layer by layer. Each other-dimensional space has its own special circumstances due to the different creatures.

Taking the snowfield as an example, the white ghosts in the lower level are bronze, and the white ghosts in the upper level directly reached the gold level. In the alien planet, most of the white ghosts are still at the gold level, but there are individual platinum-level ones, but that is too rare and extremely difficult to find.

Otherwise, Jiang Xiao's Qing Mang and Endurance star techniques would not be just gold quality at this time.

Peregrine continued, "All creatures crave this energy. Ghost-faced monks are very united and intelligent. They can always seize their own territory, but our place is very special."

Jiang Xiao: "How?"

Peregrine: "If nothing unexpected happens, our location is my hometown on Earth - Yecheng. It is located in the south of Yanzhao and the north of the Central Plains. We are almost stepping on the boundary line between the two provinces."

Jiang Xiao: "So?"

Peregrine looked at Jiang Xiao with a solemn expression and said, "You keep asking me what troubles there are here. In fact, the troubles here are great. In our north, within the Yanzhao Province area, there is a group of wandering souls."

Jiang Xiao was slightly stunned: "Wandering souls?"

Peregrine: "The Undead lifeform."

Jiang Xiao: !!!

The Undead clan in the lower dimension are all at the platinum level. After going through the upper level and the alien planet, how strong will they be!?

Peregrine: "The Undead clan is at the diamond level. They shouldn't have come out of the Undead Cave. Every creature has its own characteristics and its own range of activity.

These characteristics will restrain them from plundering the light pillar resources in the Central Plains.

But a month ago, the ghost-faced monks in the city accidentally smashed a corner of the pagoda top during sparring, revealing some light, which was seen by the Undead clan on the other side of the mountain."

Behind them, He Yun finally spoke: "With such a crisis, why not choose to ask for help, but instead drive us away?"

As he spoke, He Yun turned his head to look into the depths of the maze, seemingly discovering something.

A male voice also came from the depths of the dark corridor: "Peregrine is worried that you will choose to help us because of our existence, because we are Hua Xia soldiers, and will defend this place to the death."

Jiang Xiao laughed, took two steps back, tilted his head and looked over, and asked, "Then why did you let us in now?"

From the depths of the corridor, accompanied by a gold Lü, a mysterious man strode forward, finally revealing his figure.

The man was also dressed as a knight-errant with a bamboo hat and raincoat, and a crescent scimitar at his waist: "Maybe your name is too scary, the deputy head of the Chasing Light Regiment, Weiyu Regiment. He thinks you can really provide some help."

It seemed that the gold Lü had told this man all the information.

Jiang Xiao: "......"

Finished, something bad happened.

My deputy head is the deputy head of the main body. I am indeed very awesome, but I have to be here in person!

I... let's use a classic reply from QQ chat ten years ago: Not the real person!

I'm just bait!

"Senior, please forgive us for not recognizing Mount Tai." The man pushed up the brim of his bamboo hat, revealing a square face and a pair of majestic phoenix eyes.

He stretched out his right hand and said, "Hua Zhong Night Watch Army, Chasing Light Regiment, Falcon Squad. Code name Lanner Falcon, name Li Haoge."

He Yun nodded lightly, stretched out his old palm, and shook hands with Li Haoge.

He Yun looked at the two "knights-errant", feeling a sharp aura coming towards him, and couldn't help but nod secretly, slowly saying, "The younger generation is to be feared."

Jiang Xiao sighed. Since they chose to defend this place to the death and coexist with the ghost-faced monks, I'm afraid there were many stories in it.
