Chapter 227 Tianyu City
Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update of the gate of the mysterious world!
As the most powerful country on the Eastern Continent, the Lushan Dynasty occupies the most central core area of the entire Eastern Continent. It has a vast territory and consists of thirty-one prefectures and one hundred and eight prefectures.
Its capital, Tianyu City, is naturally the most prosperous city in the entire Lushan Dynasty, and even the entire Dongzhou Continent.
The entire Tianyu City covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, backed by mountains and water, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is the hub where the East and West of the East Continent meet.
The city wall is more than twenty feet high, and the whole body is made of blue boulders that are one foot long and half a foot wide. Each piece is like cast iron, which cannot be shaken.
Such a majestic city wall is like the body of a giant dragon, stretching out along the east and west gates to the two sides, reaching the Sanqing Mountains stretching thousands of miles in the north, and connecting the Langya River more than a hundred feet wide in the south.
On the city wall, flags fluttered, and every fifty feet, there was a city tower, and several heavily armed soldiers were stationed in it, monitoring everything coming and going, not letting go of the slightest disturbance.
At this time, the sun was just rising, and the golden sunlight poured down from the sky, pouring into the vast expanse of blue waves of the Langye River, sparkling waves of light.
Outside the grand and majestic East City Gate, two queues of people several miles long had already formed.
There are farmers picking firewood, warriors on horseback, craftsmen carrying baskets, and businessmen sitting in carriages... There are all kinds of people, and there is a lot of noise.
Perhaps it was because the Ascension Ceremony was approaching, and the interrogation at the gate of the city became more and more stringent. In addition to the soldiers guarding the city, there were also many people in blue gossip Taoist uniforms. Be respectful in words and deeds.
These Taoists hold a golden gossip round mirror in their hands, and in a flash, a faint golden light will shoot out from it.
Everyone who wants to pass through the gate of the city will not only have to go through layers of questioning and inspection by the soldiers, but will also be allowed to enter the city after being illuminated by the golden light in the gossip round mirror by these Taoists.
At this moment, a group of more than ten people, surrounded by a luxurious carriage, came from an official road in the distance, and drove straight in between the two long queues. In the middle, head towards the city gate.
Shi Mu is at the end of this group of people.
As he walked, he kept looking at the magnificent city wall in the distance. Although his expression seemed calm, his heart was a little shocked.
Tianyu City is really spectacular!
Compared with it, Fengcheng can't be called a city at all, and even a small town is a bit reluctant.
Cai'er stood on his shoulder, looking extremely curious about everything, looking around from time to time, but unexpectedly quiet.
In fact, if Shi Mu hadn't warned him in advance, threatening him that if he dared to talk nonsense when he entered the city, he would be captured by the guards and pluck his hair and stew soup as a drink and dish.
Liu An, who was walking side by side with Shi Mu, looked calm and breezy, with a faint look of absent-mindedness on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
When Shi Mu and the others were still more than 20 feet away from the city gate, a tall and thin man who looked ordinary was stopped immediately after being photographed by the gossip round mirror, and several soldiers came up beside him. To catch it.
"What did I do, why do you want to arrest me!" The thin and tall man shouted while resisting.
In the crowd of people queuing up, many people saw this and showed surprise on their faces. Shi Mu was also attracted by it.
At this moment, a man who looked like a general defending the city came out and shouted to the thin and tall man:
"What are you arguing about! According to the order of the Immortal Sect, anyone who is suspected of heresy will be put in jail for interrogation. If the identity is verified, they will be released. The principle is that it is better to be caught by mistake than to be missed. Those who disobey will be killed on the spot. !"
Hearing this, the tall and thin man was so frightened that his face turned earthy. He didn't dare to make any more resistance, and was taken down by two soldiers.
Shi Mu didn't know what the heresy was referring to, but he took a second look at the general who was defending the city. This man had a strong aura, as if he was an early-stage strong man.
One must know that innate warriors are revered as warriors protecting the country in the Great Qi Kingdom, which one is not a superior existence, but in Tianyu City, the capital of the Lushan Dynasty, a city guard general has innate cultivation.
Comparing the two, you can see who is superior.
Soon, Shi Mu and his group were less than ten feet away from the gate of the city.
"Who, why don't you line up from both sides!" Seeing this, a gatekeeper pointed in the direction of the convoy and shouted loudly.
Several soldiers and people in Taoist clothes around were about to step forward when they saw this, but the majestic middle-aged man who had been walking on the side of the carriage greeted him, and took out a golden token the size of a palm from his arms. He raised it towards the city guard general.
The general guarding the city glanced at the golden token, and suddenly his face changed drastically. He hurriedly separated the soldiers on both sides, strode forward, and cupped his hands at the majestic middle-aged man:
"It turns out to be the envoy, please let me go!"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the soldiers guarding the gate and those in Taoist robes changed, and they quickly moved out of the way.
Soon the luxury carriage passed through the city gate under the eyes of others, and Shi Mu and others naturally followed them in without being questioned or checked at all.
As soon as you enter the city gate, the first thing that catches your eyes is a wide bluestone avenue that can accommodate ten horses in parallel. Not far ahead is a crossroad, leading to three directions, and the intersection is full of people.
At this moment, Liu An walked directly to the middle-aged man next to the carriage, cupped his fists and saluted him:
"Brother Lu, since the convoy has arrived safely in Tianyu, I have other things to do, so I will take my leave first."
"Liu Yishi, if you're not in a hurry, why don't you come with me into the mansion and have a rest? I still have a little bit of face in Tianyu City. If there is any difficulty, maybe I can help you a little bit." The majestic middle-aged man tried to persuade him to stay road.
"Brother Lu, you are being polite. I do have important matters to attend to, so it is really inconvenient to stay longer." Liu An smiled.
The majestic middle-aged man saw that Liu An was very determined to go, so he didn't hold back, he took out a bag from his bosom and handed it to Liu An.
After accepting it, Liu An turned around and greeted Shi Mu, then quickly blended into the flow of people, and quickly disappeared into the vast crowd.
Next, Shi Mu also stepped forward to bid farewell to the majestic middle-aged man, and the other party naturally tried to persuade him to stay. Seeing that Shi Mu insisted on leaving, he also paid the reward.
Shi Mu took the kit, glanced at it for a while, and found a silver mid-level talisman and ten low-level spirit stones inside, he couldn't help but feel happy
This silver talisman is obviously the teleportation talisman given by Huowu Princess, the warrior's access control area, at a critical moment.
He put the kit into the Dust Ring, and casually walked to a street on the right, and then the luxury carriage, surrounded by the rest of the people, continued to drive towards the street ahead.
Shi Mu strolled on the street, looking at the most prosperous city on the Eastern Continent.
There are crowds of people everywhere in the city, among them there are many people in rich clothes, luxurious carriages and convoys full of goods, traffickers, pawns, and Xialiba people who lead carts and sell pulp can be seen everywhere along the street.
There are rows of buildings of different heights on both sides of the street, and there are many shops of all kinds. The flags and flags can't be seen at a glance. They opened early in the morning and began to attract customers.
What shocked Shi Mu even more was that he could see from a distance that there were many large buildings with five or six floors, or even seven or eight floors in the city. A group of magnificent palaces can be vaguely seen distributed on it.
Three or four storey buildings are considered tall in ordinary cities, but they are commonplace here.
For some reason, Shi Mu couldn't help but think of the scenes he had seen along the way since leaving the Wilderness.
Barren land can be seen everywhere, sparsely populated villages and towns, mountains that should have been rich in aura have become dead and silent, with withered vegetation, and there are not a few small towns like Linshan Town.
What impressed him the most was that there were a large number of tombs outside the villages and towns, and there were even many corpses exposed in the wilderness.
Everything of that kind is in stark contrast to the prosperity here.
"Shitou, let's go to the Cuixiang Building for dinner, Cai'er is starving to death!" At this moment, the parrot Cai'er suddenly rang in his ears.
It is pointing at a gorgeous restaurant not far away with its wings, and its eyes are shining.
"If I remember correctly, you ate a lot before entering the city, so let's talk about it at noon." Shi Mu ignored Cai'er.
"Hmph, stingy!" Cai'er flapped her wings and flew out angrily.
Shi Mu didn't care too much, put away his thoughts, and started to go in and out of inns, shops and other places.
Not long after, the parrot flew back.
"Stone, there are people performing juggling over there, it's so exciting, let's go and see!" the parrot yelled while circling above Shi Mu's head.
"Stone, there seems to be someone selling gems over there. Those gems are so beautiful!"
"And there, look at the stone, what is that, it seems very interesting!"
...
Amidst the parrot Cai'er's constant nagging, Shi Mu finally ended his first day's trip in Tianyu City.
Before it got dark, he randomly found an inn, rented a small independent courtyard, and stayed temporarily.
Judging from the information obtained today, the disciples of various sects like Ximen Xue who came to participate in the Ascension Ceremony should be arranged in some posthouses scattered around the city.
It is said that these posthouses were specially set up by the Lushan Dynasty for the ceremony of ascension to immortality.
Since Tianyu City is really too big and there are many post houses of this kind, under such circumstances, finding someone is like finding a needle in a haystack.
However, at this time, there are still about seven months before the Demon Yang Ceremony is held, and it only takes three or four months to rush back from Tianyu City to the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Qin Kingdom, which is quite ample time.
In addition, today he also learned from some storekeepers that the exact start time of the Ascension Immortal Auction will be just over a month away, and at this conference, there will be high-grade demon ape essence blood for sale.
This is undoubtedly great news for Shi Mu, who was stuck on the fifth floor after the Vigorous Demon Ape was reborn.
So he planned to inquire about Ximen Xue's whereabouts while waiting for the auction to start. (To be continued ~^~.)
