Xu Chen has always felt that he is not short of money, too, he robbed a tyrant equivalent to 20 years of taxes paid by the Tang Dynasty, where will he be short of money?

However, at this moment, after hearing the numbers coming out of Chen Dong's mouth, Xu Chen instantly felt that he had become a poor person again.

In the outside world, one tael of gold is roughly equivalent to more than a dozen copper coins, and one million taels of gold is more than 10 million copper coins, according to this algorithm, the money Xu Chen grabbed last time was only enough to buy a dozen Shouyuan Dan, which is still the worst kind!

For the proud Xu Chen, how could he be satisfied with this worst kind of goods?

"It seems that spending money on things is indeed a bad habit!"

With such thoughts, Xu Chen and the three of them came to the residence that Chen Dong said.

"It's here!"

Chen Dong pushed open a gate, and a courtyard appeared in front of Xu Chen, exquisitely warped, flying eaves and arches, colored tiles pasting eaves, tile paving walls, the courtyards in the distance were heavy, the eaves corridors were circuitous, the rockeries were among the flowers and plants, and the pavilions and pavilions were hidden from time to time.

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but when I looked at the door again, it was also a mahogany hanging flower door that was more than a foot high, and it was extravagant.

"This ......" Xu Chen was dumbfounded, looked at Chen Dong in a daze, and asked, "Brother Chen, did you make a mistake?"

"What's wrong!" Chen Dong replied.

As he spoke, Chen Dong took the lead and walked in.

There was no one in the courtyard, and Xu Chen, who was following Chen Dong, was leaning over and tiptoeing, like a thief entering the house, for fear that the master would come back and bump into him.

"At this time, everyone is going to work!" Xu saw that there was no one in the yard, so Chen Dong explained.

Who can believe this? It is understandable that men go to work, but women and children of the old and young cannot all go to work.

Xu Chen has already concluded that this is definitely not Chen Dong's territory, maybe it is the trap he set for himself. It is not clear how the other party will make a move Xu Chen, but a trace of vigilance has quietly risen.

"There are no idlers in Biancheng, children grow up to five years old, they have to go to the martial arts hall to go to school, read and practice martial arts, and if they are twelve years old, they can be incorporated into the city guards, and those who fail to enter the city guards will be divided into all walks of life in the city, and they will work until they ......are old."

"So ruthless?" Xu Chen was shocked, so in this case, wouldn't he be able to leave?

"What kind of bullshit city lord is this!

"Shut up, what do you know?" Hearing Xu Chen insulting the city lord, Chen Dong was furious, this was also the first time Xu Chen saw Chen Dong angry, not only him, but even Shi San on the side was also angry.

"If it weren't for the city lord, we don't know how many times Biancheng would have been destroyed by wild beasts!

"This courtyard is in the name of Yun Ye, and dozens of brothers and their families on the dock live here, third son, you take him to Tianji Courtyard to find a vacant room!"

Xu was really angry, and Chen Dong also gave up his thoughts of entertaining Xu Chen, and after greeting Shi San, he went out and left.

Saying that, Shi San, who was originally enthusiastic, also became cold at this time, and took Xu Chen through the courtyard without a snort, and after coming to a courtyard in the northwest corner of the compound, he pointed to a room on the guide side and left without looking back.

"Thank you...... Brother ......"

Chen Dong and Shi San's reactions made Xu Chen a little baffled, but after thinking about it for a while, he didn't care.

Now after listening to Chen Dong's explanation just now, Xu Chen began to believe that this courtyard was really where they lived, because the Yun Ye he saw by the river in the morning gave Xu Chen an unfathomable feeling.

For these elderly people, Xu Chen has seen a lot, and he still has some ability to look at people, and that Yun Ye is afraid that it is not just as simple as a dock supervisor.

Walked to the door of the room that Shi San pointed out to him, pushed the door in, and saw that it was a bedroom about three zhang long and more than two zhang wide, with a couch, a desk, and a few low stools in the room, and nothing else.

There is a window open on the south wall, and when you open the wooden window, you will see the sparkling Bianhe River, and the boats on the river are moving slowly, and all kinds of shouting and selling are in your ears. On the wooden bridge not far away, pedestrians are weaving, chariots and horses, nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, ordinary people dressed in coarse cloth, speaking their own tones, telling their own interesting stories, harmonious and serene.

Occasionally, there was a small boat rowing to the front, smiling and selling a dazzling array of goods to Xu Chen. After being rejected by Xu Chen, he was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Disturb", and after speaking, he propped up the penny and walked towards the next house.

The sun shines on the surface of the river, and the river water shines a soft light into the house, and the light and shadow are dappled, and there is a hint of dreamlike beauty.

Xu Chen couldn't help lying in front of the window, quietly looking at the prosperous scene in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but calm down......

"By the way, why don't you go out for a walk!"

After watching it for a long time, Xu Chen suddenly moved. In the eyes of Xu Chen's brothers, the eldest brother is not a person who likes to join in the fun, and the number of times he goes shopping is only a handful, and most of the time he spends his time in the study thinking about one plan after another.

In fact, what the teenagers don't know is that Xu Chen doesn't like prosperity and liveliness, but he is used to living in later generations, whether it is in Yuzhang or Shengzhou, there are more than 100,000 people living in the huge city, how can Xu Chen, who is used to seeing people shoulder to shoulder on the street, have any attraction?

Now that it is difficult to see a densely populated and prosperous commercial city, Xu Chen also has the interest of playing, and only in such prosperity can Xu Chen find some of his original shadows, so that his wandering heart has a trace of comfort.

didn't go through the gate, Xu Chen went out directly through the window, the window was actually open on the high courtyard wall, and when he got outside, Xu Chen found that the courtyard he lived in was really big!

The cyan courtyard wall stretched for several miles, not only Xu Chen's room, but all the houses against the courtyard wall had a window on the wall. Now, the window is closed, I think it's the same as Chen Dong said, let's go to work.

Walking west along the front of the courtyard, after going around to the street, Xu Chen slowed down.

This time, Xu Chen also had the intention of listening to the news, and when he came to this unfamiliar area, all the information of Xu Chen came from Chen Dong and others. It's not that I'm worried about Chen Dong hiding it, it's just that Xu Chen is used to listening and watching more.

For Xu Chen, it is not difficult to talk about it, especially when he finds that the people of this city are so simple!

It didn't take long for Xu Chen to get the qiē he wanted to know......

What should I say? When Xu Chen just learned these facts, he was speechless for a long time in surprise!

This densely populated and unusually prosperous city is ...... It's just a ruined city!

Yes, it's the ruined city!

Taking a street to the east of the courtyard where Xu Chen lived as a dividing line, the city originally had another half to the east!

It's just that in the distant past, so far away that the people in the city can't remember the specific time, there was a great catastrophe between heaven and earth, and the disaster came too fast, so fast that the great array of the city was not in a hurry to open, and half of the city in the east was attacked by the disaster......

The stories of the older people of the city, passed down from generation to generation from their ancestors, have repeatedly described the tragic scene, and in an instant, half of the city was reduced to ashes, and the wind blew away from the people, animals, and buildings.

Later, the current city lord finally activated the formation at a critical juncture, and the remnants of half of the city were spared. However, until now, there is still a small remnant area around the street in the east, and I heard the people say that if people get here, they will feel unwell, and some even have to worry about their lives.

Every year, the City Lord's Mansion will organize masters to spend a lot of energy to clean up the remnant city over and over again, so as to ensure that the area of the remnant city will not be further expanded, but even so, the remnant city is now a few feet larger than hundreds of years ago.

After hearing this story, Xu Chen immediately thought of the upheaval of heaven and earth ten thousand years ago that he had heard countless times, and the thing that destroyed half of the city was only the mysterious toxin.

After Xu Chen inquired a lot of news, he finally guessed that this ruined city was probably the only ordinary city that civilization left in the world ten thousand years ago!

The reason why there is such speculation is all after Xu Chen synthesized the information he got from the monk Huineng in the past and now inquired about it.

The population of this ruined city is very large, more than 800,000 people!

Even if this number is placed in the outside world, I am afraid that except for Chang'an, the largest city in the world, there is no other city that can have such a large population.

Not only that, but most of these people are ordinary people who can't cultivate the truth, although there are also many capable people who have the ability to save zài, but in Chen Dong's words, they can't cultivate the truth, after all, there is a difference between immortals and mortals.

Xu Chen also knew from Monk Huineng the attitudes of some cultivators in other domains towards ordinary people.

Like the domain where Monk Huineng was at the beginning, according to him, it was a big domain, but even his big domain only had a population of about 400,000 people, and the cultivators treated ordinary people like slave owners treated slaves, ordinary people lived on the edge of the weak spiritual energy, and lived a life of oppression. At the same time, because of the difference in the nature of their strength, these ordinary people didn't even have the idea of resisting at all, and they naturally felt that it was a matter of course for them to be ruled by cultivators. The only dream of these people in life is to give birth to a descendant with spiritual roots, and only in this way can they change their lives of enslavement.

For this situation, Xu Chen can understand very well, aura is the most important survival resource for all domains, in order to occupy these resources as much as possible, let alone enslave and oppress ordinary people, even if it is a common thing to kill and take it.

In fact, according to the words of Monk Huineng, if it were not for the descendants of ordinary people, there would still be a great possibility of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots, and at the same time, even if both parents were cultivators, there was a possibility of giving birth to offspring without spiritual roots, so there was a trace of incense for this. The people in charge of each domain are afraid that they have already cleaned up the ordinary people in the domain, after all, even if these ordinary people consume less, they will consume spiritual energy.

This is the general status quo in other regions, but in this city called "Biancheng", there are also many cultivators on the street, but Xu Chen didn't find a single case of cultivators bullying ordinary people!
