Chapter 1: The Ethereal City
Dingzhou, giant deer, ethereal city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Ethereal City is not big, but it is a miracle.
Not just because the city stands on a mountain that flattens halfway up the mountain, but also because of the lush vegetation that surrounds it with mist. Just because it came out of nowhere.
To be exact, it didn't happen out of nowhere, and it took a total of a month to start repairing the mountain named Ethereal Peak, to leveling the peak, to building the city.
In a month's time, a city appeared, even if it was not big, it was enough to create a legendary record in the Xuan Cultivation Realm.
Because of the topography, the ethereal city standing halfway up the mountain does not have a city wall, and the city's planning is not square, but with the help of the topography, it is built into a seemingly messy, but full of natural beauty.
The transformation of the Ethereal Peak is not only this, but also the surrounding of the mountain is cut straight while flattening the top of the mountain, so that all sides of the city become almost vertical cliffs.
Just from this point of view, the transformation of the Ethereal Peak is definitely a big deal. It's not hard to see why this was done.
In this way, the Ethereal City has almost become a city in the sky. If you want to enter the city, there is only one way to fly. If there are villains who want to forcibly occupy the city, they must think about whether their own strength can break through this artificial moat.
It has been three days since the construction of the Ethereal City was completed and opened to the public.
Maybe it's because I'm amazed by this huge handiwork, maybe it's curious about the scene in this sky city, or maybe it's for the ethereal city's investment plan, which attracts thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles of "tourists" every day.
In order to facilitate the entry into the city, there is a post station in the southeast, northwest and northwest directions under the foot of the ethereal city.
In addition to building many guest rooms in each post station, thousands of various flying beasts have been domesticated, including pegasus and more birds.
These beasts, individually or severally, pulled up a carriage. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can occupy a place in the carriage, and every other time a stick of incense, a hundred carriages will set off and fly into the Ethereal City.
Of course, if you don't want to pay the fee and want to fly up the city by yourself, you can do that, but only if you can avoid the city defense cavalry patrolling the sky in three shifts around the city.
Kill in? It's also a way, as long as you can bear the consequences, and you are not afraid of provoking the city defense cavalry to chase and kill.
Well, you're a master, and your cultivation is so high that you can even ignore all the defenses of the Ethereal City, but afterwards, you can settle an account.
If you enter the city from the post station normally, a person only needs to pay the entry tax of a medium-grade spar, and if you force it into the ethereal city, what will be the price you have to pay?
The so-called sword has no eyes, if it is injured, any one of the worst healing elixirs is more than a medium-grade spar, and if it is killed...... Tsk, a bloody case caused by a medium-grade Xuanjing...... Even if you are unscathed, unless you destroy the Ethereal City, you will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the city, so is the energy and time wasted as a cost?
……
In each inn stands a large stone tablet with all the precautions and rules for entering the Ethereal City.
If you violate the rules, you will be fined, you will die, and you will be blacklisted by Ethereal City, and you will never be accepted.
For this kind of punishment, anyone who enters the Ethereal City for the first time will be very curious, why is the heaviest punishment not death, but only eternal expulsion?
However, once you enter the Ethereal City, this doubt will soon be dispelled.
The reason is simple, this ethereal city is so fascinating that it is enough to be called a paradise for both men and women.
Whoever enters it will be left with the same thought in their hearts, that is, this trip is worthwhile.
In fact, the Ethereal City not only has a strong commercial atmosphere, but also has a full entertainment atmosphere.
The city is divided into five major markets, each of which is dotted with a variety of shops, some of which have already opened, while many of them are vacant for rent.
According to the plan, the east fang is mainly engaged in weapons and armor, the west fang is mainly engaged in pills, the south fang specializes in the practice of law books, as for the north fang, there are gambling houses, green buildings and even martial arts arenas and other entertainment venues, and the middle fang in the middle is a little complicated, in addition to the most central city lord's mansion, there are various money villages, inns and ...... An almost iconic arched "Grand Theatre".
The so-called "City Lord's Mansion" is actually not the City Lord's Mansion in the strict sense, but a station called the "Ethereal Sect", and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ethereal City must be the masterstroke of this sect.
It's just that people still wonder where this Ethereal Sect is sacred, and why they have never heard of it before.
Of course, it's normal that you haven't heard of it, and from the name of this sect, it is not difficult to know that it is definitely named after the Ethereal Peak, and in the past, the Ethereal Peak was just a borderless land, and there was no trace of anyone at all. In other words, the Ethereal Sect is just a name that has just appeared, and as for what it was called before and where it came from, it is the most interesting.
Of course, it's one thing to be interested, and it's another thing to covet it, but judging from the fact that it has built such a miraculous ethereal city with such a large amount of money, not to mention its strength, just this financial strength is enough to discourage the vast majority of people.
Just when outsiders were speculating and even taking action to investigate the origin of the Ethereal Sect, the city lord's mansion at this time was extremely calm.
In the center of the Ethereal Sect's residence, there is no golden palace, but a green artificial lake.
The artificial lake is full of lotus flowers, and at such a time, it is just in response to the poem - "The little lotus shows its sharp corners, and there are dragonflies standing on its head", at a glance, it is extraordinarily beautiful.
In the center of the lake, there is an open-air jade round platform, on which a bronze alchemy furnace is placed several zhang high, which exudes the fragrance of green smoke and medicine from time to time.
The perspective penetrates the turquoise water, until the bottom of the lake, and then penetrates the mountain rock more than ten zhang thick, counting, it is already the interior of the ethereal peak, but it is not a seamless stone, but it gives people a feeling of sudden enlightenment, if people see it, they will definitely be surprised.
If Ethereal City is already a great deal, then compared to here, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
Who would have thought that the entire Ethereal Peak had been hollowed out, and another city had been built within the mountain.
"What a miracle, tsk, Sister Ning, if you show me this construction plan from the beginning, I will definitely think you are crazy."
The castle inside the mountain is only half complete, and the other half is still under construction.
Unlike the ethereal city above, to be exact, unlike any city, the layout of the city in this mountain is not flat but three-dimensional at all.
Because all the houses and courtyards are built on the mountain wall, as if they are carved in different styles, layer upon layer like a beehive.
At this time, on a window sill protruding from a palace as high as six or seven zhang at the top of the city, a group of women stood impressively.
There were about a dozen people, and only two women were at the front.
If Zhan Bai is here, it is not difficult to recognize that these two women are Ning Xiaoning and ...... Butterfly clothes.
"Huh, what? Red-eyed? Ning Xiaoning glanced at Dieyi vigilantly, "Don't forget the agreement we signed at the beginning." Goddess Alliance, your Wanhuayuan only owns thirty percent of the shares, and the largest shareholder is my Shenji Battalion. In other words, in the future, Wanhuayuan will only have dividends at the end of the year, and it will not be able to interfere with the weekday operation of the Goddess Alliance. ”
