Chapter 16: West Mountain Castle

Zhang Yi went out early and returned late along the way, and tried his best to speed along the commercial or official roads with many pedestrians. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info stayed overnight at the city's inn, which was a semi-official inn used mainly for officials and messengers.

Most of Jizhou is in the sphere of influence of the two major sects, and some unmotivated disciples and vassals of the two families control part of the secular power, and Jizhou also has an emperor in name, but in fact it is like a mascot.

However, the emperor still has a part of the direct territory and the most orthodox name, so there will be an official post station.

After a whole month of camping, we finally arrived at the final station, Nishiyama Castle.

Xishan City is located in the center of eastern Jizhou and is a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands. The construction of the city is magnificent and magnificent. The city wall alone has a height of five zhang, which is equivalent to a full five-story building, and I don't know what spell has been cast on the city wall, the boulders are completely combined into one, if it weren't for the fracture of the texture of the rock, Zhang Yi would have thought that these walls were a whole rock.

The dozens of guards on both sides of the city gate all have the strength of the peak of qi induction, and their thick scale armor and long-handled heavy swords show their majesty.

Zhang Yi followed the flow of people into the city while watching, the main road of Xishan City is a three-zhang wide stone road, the buildings facing the street are two-storey small buildings, which are also separated by four or five storey high-sized buildings, those buildings are colored glazed tile roofs, the heavy paint is particularly eye-catching, and when you get closer, you can see that there are big shops and the most luxurious taverns and green buildings and other consumption places.

The whole Xishan City is like the ancient city in Zhang Yi's impression, which is prosperous and solemn, majestic and extravagant. There are also some foundation-building monks who can often be seen on the streets, and if they can't restrain their aura, Zhang Yi can feel that they are like a whirlpool of spiritual energy, exchanging spiritual energy with heaven and earth endlessly. Moreover, you can also see all kinds of strange-shaped monster mounts and citizens and pedestrians in brocade costumes in the city.

Zhang Yi wandered around the city for a long time, and soon found a small inn in an alley before dark. Because of its good location and relatively low prices, the inn has a good business.

After Zhang Yi returned to the room, looking at the two clean and tidy rooms, Zhang Yi couldn't be happy, because after paying a month's rent in advance, he was close to empty his pocket.

When I went out, I still had seventy spirit stones, and after buying the Linjiao, I spent fifty yuan, and I spent nearly ten yuan to stay at the official post station and stay here for a month along the way. Now there are less than ten spirit stones left, which is really like flowing money.

"It seems that before the Pure Ming Sect opens the mountain and accepts disciples, it will have to earn some living expenses for itself. Zhang Yi thought to himself.

The next day, Zhang Yi was looking for a way to make money while touring Xishan City.

Xishan Castle is a very neat and symmetrical city, with four gates open in all directions. Outside the city, wheat is cultivated on two plains, and it is close to the Xishan Mountains on one side and the Xijiang River on the other.

The side of the city next to the Xijiang waterway is the most prosperous, because the Xijiang River is also a water vein originating from Daxing Mountain, with a water surface ten miles wide, and the Xijiang River runs through the entire Jizhou. Water transportation is extremely convenient, and the goods and treasures of Tiannan and Haibei are gathered in it.

The bustling commerce attracted a large number of wealthy people to come here to consume, and there were even materials for refining magic weapons and elixirs needed by monks above the foundation building.

Zhang Yi walked through here, looking for opportunities to make money while familiarizing himself with the environment.

Walking and walking, Zhang Yi walked to a small street, which seemed to be a street where vendors set up stalls, and while walking, Zhang Yi found that the things they sold were extremely complicated, not only the common rune paper elixir, but also all kinds of messy things.

There are those who sell jade, miscellaneous books, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even those who sell themselves.

There are also various tricks in selling jade, some of which are similar to gambling stones, and there are also exquisitely carved finished products; there are those who put antiques and genuine products together in an open and honest manner, and let people identify them after bidding; and there are also some people who are cheating.

This street is really full of people and mixed with people.

After Zhang Yi walked half the street, he was watching with relish, when he suddenly heard a quarrel.

"Hey, you fake seller still dare to appear in front of your grandfather, see that Lao Tzu didn't tear down your bones, and actually lied to me with a fake that didn't make sense, and said that you can make people build the nerves of the foundation perfectly. If I believe you again, you will be insane. I saw a strong man grab a thin old man with one hand and roar.

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "How do you speak, didn't I tell you that to comprehend this nerve, you have to rely on chance, do you understand chance? Let go, you let go first, we can still discuss, you give me the book, and I will refund you nine layers of money. ”

Dahan was still very excited: "If it weren't for the fact that you took the appraisal book of Brother Jindan, how could I have bought your broken book, which is upside down, and almost made your grandfather go off and seriously injured." You have to pay. ”

As soon as the thin old man heard that he had lost money, he immediately shouted: "There is no door, let me tell you that the rule of this street is to return the goods and return the ninth floor, if you don't let go, I will call the patrol officer." ”

The two were entangled again, and in the end, the old man returned nine layers of money to end the matter.

Zhang Yi watched here and couldn't help but wonder what kind of nerve this was appearing on such a small street.

So, Zhang Yi bought some blank rune paper and cinnabar at a stall near the old man's stall, and asked the stall owner about it.

The stall owner is a man who seems to have just reached middle age, and said: "That old man Liu is a broken household, I think his family was also wide at the beginning, and then it collapsed in his hands. His nerves were indeed identified by the ancestor of Jindan, but at that time, the book was full of three fingers thick, and then somehow it caused several small sects to compete and rob, and even burned some of it, and there were only a few pages left in Old Man Liu's hands, and he just used such a reason to deceive outsiders. ”

Zhang Yi's heart moved, such a broken book is naturally worthless, but he has three thousand world orbs, he should be able to trace the cause and effect, so that he can cultivate.

After making up his mind, Zhang Yi took action, spent all his savings, bought the broken book, and returned to the inn without stopping.
