As the most powerful country on the Dongzhou Continent, the Lushan Dynasty occupied the most central core area of the entire Dongzhou Continent, with a vast territory and 31 prefectures and 108 prefectures.

Its capital, Tianyu City, is naturally the most prosperous city in the entire Lushan Dynasty and even in the entire Dongzhou Continent.

The whole Tianyu City covers an area of tens of thousands of miles, backed by mountains and waters, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is the hub of the intersection of the east and west of the Dongzhou continent.

Its city wall is more than 20 zhang high, and the whole body is made of cyan boulders that are one zhang long and half zhang wide, and each piece is like steel pouring iron casting, which cannot be shaken.

Such a majestic city wall is like the body of a giant dragon, stretching out along the east and west city gates to both sides, reaching the Sanqing Mountains in the north and the Langxi River in the south.

On the city wall, flags are unfurled, and every fifty zhang, there is a city tower, and several heavily armed soldiers are stationed in it, monitoring everything that comes and goes, not letting go of the slightest disturbance.

At this time, the morning sun is rising, and the golden sunlight pours down from the sky, pouring into the blue waves of the Langxi River, flooding with bursts of sparkling waves.

Outside the grand and majestic East City Gate, there were already two long queues of people for several miles.

There are farmers who carry firewood, warriors on horseback, craftsmen who carry baskets on their backs, and merchants who sit in carriages...... There were all kinds of people, and there was a lot of noise.

Perhaps because the period of the Immortal Ascension Ceremony is approaching, the inventory at the city gate has become more and more strict, in addition to the soldiers guarding the city, there are also many people wearing blue gossip uniforms mixed in, these soldiers are respectful to these Taoists' words and deeds.

These Taoists held a golden gossip round mirror in their hands, and in a flash, a faint golden light would shoot out from it.

Everyone who wants to pass through the city gate will not only have to go through layers of interrogation and inspection by soldiers, but will also be illuminated by these Taoists with the golden light in the gossip round mirror before they can be allowed to enter the city.

At this moment, a group of more than ten people gathered around a luxury carriage. He walked up from an official road in the distance, and drove straight in the middle of the two long queues, and headed towards the city gate amid the pointing and surprised eyes of everyone on both sides.

Shi Mu was at the end of this line.

He walked along. While looking at the spectacular city wall in the distance, although his expression seemed calm, his heart was a little shocked.

Tianyu City is truly spectacular!

Compared with Fengcheng, it can't be called a city at all, and even a small town is a little reluctant.

Cai'er stood on her shoulder. is even more curious about everything, looking around from time to time, but it is surprisingly quiet.

In fact, if it weren't for Shi Mu's warning in advance, threatening that if he dared to talk nonsense when he entered the city, he would be captured by the soldiers defending the city, and the stewed soup would be used as a drink, and he might not know what the noise would have become at this time.

Liu An, who was walking side by side with Shi Mu, had a light and breezy appearance, and there was a faint sense of absent-mindedness on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

Just when Shi Mu and the others were still more than twenty zhang away from the city gate, a seemingly ordinary thin and tall man was illuminated by the gossip round mirror. was immediately stopped, and several soldiers came up next to him, and they couldn't help but say that they were going to arrest him.

"What have I done, why are you arresting me!" shouted the tall and thin man as he resisted.

In the queue, many people saw this, and their faces also showed surprise, and Shi Mu was also attracted by it.

At this moment, a man who looked like a general defending the city walked out and shouted to the tall and thin man:

"What are you arguing about! As long as it is a suspected heretic, it will be detained in **** for interrogation, and if the identity is verified, he will be released. The principle is that it is better to make a mistake than to miss it. Those who disobey will be killed on the spot!"

When the tall and thin man heard this, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to resist at all, and was taken down by two soldiers.

Shi Mu didn't know what the heresy in the other party's mouth meant, but he glanced at the general who was defending the city, and this person's aura was powerful. It's like a strong man in the early stage of congenitalism.

You must know that the innate warrior is in the Great Qi Kingdom, but he is respected as a warrior who protects the country, which one is not a high-ranking existence, but in Tianyu City, the capital of the Lushan Dynasty, a general who defends the city has innate cultivation.

Compared with the two, the superiority is immediate.

Soon, Shi Mu and the others were less than ten zhang away from the city gate.

"Why, why don't you line up from both sides!" a soldier at the gate saw this, stretched out his hand to point in the direction of the convoy, and shouted a loud reprimand.

Seeing this, several soldiers and people in uniforms around were about to step forward, but the majestic middle-aged man who had been walking on the side of the carriage took the initiative to greet him, and took out a palm-sized golden token from his arms, and raised it towards the general who was defending the city.

The general guarding the city swept his eyes over the golden token, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly separated the soldiers on both sides, strode forward, and arched his hand towards the majestic middle-aged man:

"It turned out to be Your Excellency, let it go!"

As the words fell, the faces of the soldiers guarding the door and those in Taoist robes changed, and they hurriedly moved out of the way.

Soon, the luxury carriage passed directly through the city gate under the attention of others, and Shi Mu and the others naturally entered with them, without being questioned and inspected in the slightest.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the first thing that catches your eye is a wide bluestone avenue that can accommodate ten horses in parallel, and not far in front of you is a crossroads, 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, and saluted him with a fist:

"Brother Lu, since the convoy has arrived in Tianyu safely, there are some other things to do, so I will leave first. ”

"Liu Yishi, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you go into the mansion with me and rest for a while? The dignified middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Brother Lu is polite, there is indeed something important to do here, and it is really inconvenient to stay longer. Liu An smiled.

The majestic middle-aged man saw that Liu An was very determined, and he didn't keep it, so he took out a bag from his arms and handed it to Liu An.

After Liu An accepted it, he turned around and said hello to Shi Mu, quickly blended into the flow of people, and quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Next, Shi Mu also stepped forward to bid farewell to the majestic middle-aged man, and the other party naturally kept him, seeing that Shi Mu insisted on leaving, he also paid for it.

Shi Mu took the bag, his eyes swept slightly, and inside was a silver-shining mid-level spirit rune and ten primary-level spirit stones, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart

This silver talisman is the teleportation talisman given by the Fire Dancing Princess at the critical moment of the original warrior's gate.

He put the bag in the Dust Ring and casually headed down a street to the right, while the luxurious carriage continued to gallop towards the street ahead, surrounded by the rest of the people.

Shi Mu strolled through the streets and looked at the most prosperous city on the Dongzhou continent.

The city is full of people, among whom there are many people in fine clothes, luxurious carriages and convoys full of goods are weaving back and forth, peddlers and pawns, and people who lead carts and sell pulp, and you can see them everywhere along the street.

On both sides of the street, rows of tall and low buildings, shops of all kinds, and flags with no end in sight, open early in the morning to attract customers.

What shocked Shi Mu even more was that from a distance, you could see that there were many large buildings with five or six floors, or even seven or eight floors in the city, and you could even see a hill as high as a hundred zhang in the west of the city.

Three- and four-storey buildings, which are considered tall in ordinary cities, are common here.

For some reason, Shi Mu couldn't help but think of the scenes he had seen along the way since he left the wilderness.

Barren land everywhere, sparsely populated villages and towns, mountains that should be full of spiritual energy have become dead and silent, vegetation has withered, and there are not a few small towns like mountain towns.

What impressed him the most was that there were large tombs outside many villages and towns, and there were even many **** bones exposed in the wilderness.

That kind of everything, in stark contrast to the prosperity here.

"Stone, let's go to that Cuixiang Building for dinner, Cai'er is dying of hunger!" At this moment, the parrot Cai'er suddenly sounded in her ears.

It was pointing with its wings at a gorgeous restaurant not far away, its eyes shining.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've eaten a lot before you entered the city, and I'll talk about it at noon. Shi Mu ignored Cai'er.

"Hmph, stingy!" Cai'er flapped her wings and flew out with a grunt.

Shi Mu didn't care, put away his thoughts, and began to go in and out of inns, shops and other places.

It didn't take long for the parrot to fly back.

"Stone, there's someone juggling over there, it's so exciting, let's go take a look!" the parrot cried as it hovered over Shi Mu's head.

"Stones, there seem to be people selling gems over there, those gems are so beautiful!"

"And there, look at the stone, what is that, it seems to be fun!"

......

In the almost non-stop nagging of the parrot Cai'er, Shi Mu finally ended his first day in Tianyu City.

Before it was dark, he found an inn at random, rented an independent courtyard, and stayed temporarily.

Judging from the news found today, the disciples of the various sects like Ximen Xue who came to participate in the Immortal Ascension Ceremony should have been arranged in some post houses scattered all over the city.

It is said that these inns were specially set up by the Lushan Dynasty for this immortal ascension ceremony.

Because Tianyu City is too big, and there are many such inns, in this case, finding someone is like looking for 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 to the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Qin Kingdom from Tianyu City, which is quite enough.

In addition, today he also learned from some shop owners that the exact start time of the Immortal Ascension Auction was just over a month later, and at this conference, there would be no low-grade demon ape essence blood for sale.

This is undoubtedly a great news for Shi Mu, who was reborn and stuck on the fifth floor.

So he planned to wait for the auction to start while inquiring about Ximenxue's whereabouts. (To be continued.) )
