(The first update on the shelves, please order the first, thank you!) )
After ten years of penance, he ate demon beast meat and Bigu Dan, and at this moment, any mortal food seemed to be delicious and delicious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The city is too small, with only a few bluestone streets, and the other small streets are muddy and dilapidated, and the people in the city have always lived a lazy and quiet life.
A brocade robe is a bit eye-catching in this city, Liu Changsheng simply found a ready-to-wear shop and made a few sets of green cloth robes.
Shen Menghai's storage bracelet has all kinds of everything, but there is no gold and silver in the mortal world, fortunately, there are still dozens of taels of silver in the hundred taels of silver that Liu Changsheng got from Chu Manxue back then, and he has been placed in the storage bracelet as a souvenir, but at this time, it comes in handy, save a little use, and live a mortal life.
After inquiring around, Liu Changsheng knew that this small city belonged to a county in the southwest of the Great Yan Dynasty - the Southern Wilderness Kingdom.
Hearing the words "Southern Wilderness Country", Liu Changsheng's heart couldn't help but move, Shen Menghai had a book of travelogues written by Yuling Zhenren in his hand, recording many places on the Beiju Continent, including the Southern Wilderness Country.
Back at the inn, Liu Changsheng carefully flipped through the travelogue, and suddenly felt secretly happy in his heart.
The reason why it is named the Southern Wilderness Country is because most of the territory of this country is a barren lofty mountain, and the southernmost part of the Southern Wilderness Country is the 100,000 Great Mountain Purple Smoky Mountains where monsters and poisons are rampant, and there are no excellent spiritual veins in this Purple Smoky Mountain Range, but there are many swamps and lakes that are easy to breed poisonous miasma and poisonous insects, and even some volcanoes that occasionally erupt, the word "purple smoke" in the Purple Smoky Mountains refers to the smoke after the eruption of the volcano, as well as the purple-red miasma and poisonous fog that can be seen everywhere in the depths of the mountain range.
The area of the 100,000 mountains under the jurisdiction of the Purple Smoke Mountain Range far exceeds that of the Daimei Mountain Range, although there are demon beasts everywhere, but because of the poor spiritual veins and thin spiritual energy, no high-level transformation demon kings can be born, and even the number of middle-level demon beasts is not too much.
There are not many elixirs, there are many poisonous weeds, there are not many middle-level demon beasts, and there are many poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, because of this, these 100,000 mountains are not liked and valued by Jindan monks, few Jindan monks will enter this mountain to search for medicine and treasure, and there is no Jindan major repair will establish a cave in the poison miasma mountain range to seek land and retreat.
The Southern Wilderness Country belongs to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Master's Mansion Zizhu Mountain Range Holy Land, and there is also a Linghe Tower set up by the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the Southern Wilderness City, the capital of the Southern Wilderness Country, and the owner of the Linghe Tower is even an elder of the Jindan Realm.
However, the Southern Wilderness Country is a border subject country of the Great Yan Dynasty, the northern foot of the Purple Smoky Mountains belongs to the Great Yan Dynasty, the southern foot belongs to the Great Chu Dynasty, and the western region belongs to another empire, the Hanhai Kingdom.
There is no high-level transformation demon king to appear, poisonous miasma is everywhere, Jindan monks are reluctant to patronize, and the Purple Smoke Mountain Range has naturally become a place for some monks in the condensation period to set foot and practice, especially the disciples and casual cultivators of the small and medium-sized cultivation immortal families in the three major empires, often go to the Purple Smoke Mountain Range to try their luck and catch some second-order and third-order demon beasts for cultivation, or find some hundred-year-old herbs to refine some first-order pills.
These loose cultivators are either not qualified and are not accepted by the major sects, or they are unwilling to be bound by the sects, and they are bent on being free, and the Purple Smoke Mountain Range does not belong to any big force, and it happens to become a good place for scattered cultivators.
Although there are no high-level demon beasts in the Purple Smoky Mountain Range, there are powerful poisonous insects and poisonous snakes, and the climate is warm, the reproduction rate of demon beasts is fast, and the danger is still not small, especially in the most central area of the Purple Smoky Mountain Range, there are many middle-level demon beasts and middle-level poisonous insects, which is a forbidden area for monks in the condensation period.
I don't know when it began, generation after generation of scattered cultivators began to choose the place of spiritual veins on the periphery of the Purple Smoke Mountain Range to build a city, and there were three of them, standing on their feet.
These three cities of monks do not belong to the three empires, but they are close to the territories of the three empires, and in fact, they are also occupied by the scattered cultivators born in the three empires.
This city of monks at the northern foot of the Purple Smoke Mountains, where the spiritual veins are located, is like a winding dragon, and this city is simply called Canglong City.
It is said that there are tens of thousands of scattered cultivators living in the city, but on weekdays, there are less than 10,000 people living in the city to practice, and the rest of the casual cultivators all go to the Purple Smoke Mountains, some people are practicing with demon beasts, some people are looking for medicinal herbs, and some monks directly choose small spiritual veins with good aura to settle in the Purple Smoke Mountains, and only when the beast tide appears, they will choose to return to Canglong City to live.
Because of the warm climate and the fast reproduction rate of demon beast poisonous insects, every three or five years, there will always be some low-level demon beasts driven out of the mountain range by middle-level demon beasts, and then, these demon beasts begin to fight with the demon beasts on the periphery of the mountain range, and there are also some demon beasts that kill directly to the edge of the mountain range, and most of these demon beasts are first-order and second-order demon beasts.
Whenever this happens, the monks in the three monk cities will join forces to kill these demon beasts, which can not only obtain some cultivation resources, but also enhance their supernatural powers, and also curb the infiltration of demon beasts into the border areas and harm the people in the border areas.
Because of this, whether it was the Heavenly Master Mansion, the largest immortal cultivation force in the Great Yan Dynasty, the Shenbing Sect, the largest immortal cultivation force in the Great Chu Dynasty, or the Hanhai Palace, the largest immortal cultivation force in the Hanhai Kingdom, they all tolerated the existence of these three monk cities, and even secretly supported them behind their backs.
The best thing is that there are teleportation arrays that can teleport to each other in these three cities, and these three teleportation arrays can be used by the monks of the three cities to support each other during the beast tide, and on weekdays, they can also be used by the monks of the three cities to exchange materials, and of course, it is also convenient for the monks of the three cities to travel to the other two empires of the three empires.
If you didn't have these three teleportation arrays, if you wanted to go from the Southern Wilderness Country to the Great Chu Dynasty, you would have to pass through a large area of danger in the center of the Purple Smoky Mountains, and if you traveled around from outside the Purple Smoky Mountains, you would have to walk at least dozens of times more.
Shen Menghai's storage bracelet contained a complete topographic map of the entire Purple Smoke Mountain Range, and the mountain range where Shen Menghai died that day was actually a branch of the outer periphery of the Purple Smoke Mountain Range, but Liu Changsheng didn't know it before, and he couldn't determine where the nameless mountain range belonged.
Now that he knew of the existence of these three monk cities, Liu Changsheng suddenly gave up his plan to travel and cultivate in ordinary mortal cities.
Figuring out the nearest route to Canglong City, Liu Changsheng left the small city and drove the shuttle directly in the direction of Canglong City.
More than a month later.
Liu Changsheng's figure appeared in front of a huge stone city.
The city is built in a valley, built on the mountain, on both sides of the continuous mountain range, the highest mountains are about 1,000 zhang high, the other peaks are mostly 300 zhang or less, and the valley where the mountains are connected is built with a thick stone wall dozens of zhang high.
The whole city is in the east-west direction, there is a city gate on the east and west sides, as far as the eye can see, there is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles in the city, the whole body is blue-gray, like a dragon, the position of the dragon's head is the highest, about four or five hundred zhang.
At this moment, Liu Changsheng was standing in front of the city gate on the east side.
In front of me is a thick city wall, about fifty or sixty zhang high, all made of huge cyan stripes of stone, which looks rough and mighty.
The city gate tower is even taller, full of a hundred zhang high, the city gate tower is erected on both sides of a row of huge hundred oxen crossbows, although these crossbow bows are just some magic weapons, the crossbow arrows are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, if you want to pull the bowstring, you need to have a hundred cow-like brute force, mortals in the world naturally can not pull these hundred oxen crossbows, and only monks can control them.
Even if the fierce third-order demon beasts encountered these hundred bull crossbows, they would be killed instantly, and under the salvo of arrows, the powerful middle-order demon beasts would have to retreat, and they would even be killed on the spot.
Downstairs under the city gate, the gold lacquer plaque reads "Canglong City" three vigorous and powerful characters.
Different from the mortal city, on the walls of this stone city, there is not a single armor soldier or guard on weekdays, and under the sunlight, the sky above the city, a faint white cloud with colorful slender filaments of light appears and disappears.
The divine consciousness swept over the tall city walls, and was unexpectedly bounced back, and there seemed to be a forbidden force in the sky.
"It is worthy of being a city of monks, and there is even a ban on the sky!"
Liu Changsheng nodded in approval, he had seen the strong strength of the middle-level demon bird, if there was no ban on the sky in this city, one day a middle-level demon bird would break in, wouldn't the monks of the entire city be unlucky?
Downstairs at the city gate, eight guards in black iron armor lined up on both sides, and on the left side of the city gate tower, there was a long wooden table, and behind the wooden case, there was a male cultivator in silver armor.
The divine sense swept over, and these eight black-armored guards were all in the realm below the seventh layer of condensation, five were sixth-level condensation, and three were fifth-layer, but the silver-armored guard was a monk of the eighth layer of condensation.
It was past noon, there were few pedestrians at the city gate, the silver-armored guard was lying on the wooden table and drowsy, and the eight black-armored guards were also listless.
It wasn't until Liu Changsheng came from a distance that the eight black-armored guards looked over lazily.
His eyes looked at Liu Changsheng's waist in unison.
Seeing that Liu Changsheng was simply hanging an inconspicuous small storage bag around his waist, and there was nothing else, the tall man at the head suddenly brightened his eyes, looked Liu Changsheng up and down, grinned, and said, "What, you are new here!" ”
Liu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly guessed, could it be that the monks in the entire city, these guards all know?
His face was calm, he bowed his hand, and said: "This fellow Daoist is right, I have heard the name of Canglong City for a long time, but it is the first time I have come here!" ”
"Since it's the first time, you need to apply for an identity token to enter and exit this city!"
The tall man spoke, and pointed at the silver-armored guard.
Although Liu Changsheng said that he was young, he was at the realm of the eighth layer of condensation, and this tall man was only at the realm of the sixth layer of condensation, so he didn't dare to slack off.
"Thank you!"
Liu Changsheng smiled slightly, turned around and walked towards the Silver Armor Guard.
Hearing the words of the two, the sleepy silver-armored guard yawned and turned his head to look at Liu Changsheng.
"Are you going to stay in the city for a long time, or are you going to buy some supplies in the city!"
The silver-armored guards looked Liu Changsheng up and down, yawning.
At this moment, Liu Changsheng is dressed in an ordinary green cloth robe, dressed as a Confucian student, and there is only a small storage bag hanging around his waist.
