One hundred and seventy-seven chapters
"Regardless of other factors, one day of cultivation here will absorb more vitality than ten days of cultivation in other places." Ning Yuan felt the double pleasure of spirit and body, and said to himself with a little sigh.
After his body had completely digested this breath of pure vitality, Ning Yuan had the idea to take the city knot out of the sea of qi with a single thought.
After the self-generated glorious city knot appeared, without waiting for Ning Yuan's movements, he plunged headlong into the "Void Spirit Spring" above the altar as if he were spiritual.
The prompt of the system sounded in my head:
"Are you sure you place the Heart of the Special Class Rules on the Leyline node?"
"Sure."
"The Heart of Rules has been bound to the 129,600th Vein Node of the Fulong Mountain Range. The player can delineate the initial city within a 10-mile radius. ”
In Ning Yuan's mind, all the terrain and landforms within a radius of fifteen miles automatically appeared, and a dotted line that fused Ning Yuan's consciousness appeared above the three-dimensional terrain image.
Ning Yuan's mind moved, and he found that the dotted line would make various movements with his thoughts, and it seemed that in this illusory picture, this dotted line was his incarnation.
"In other words, is this dotted line used to delineate the city limits?" Ning Yuan thought secretly, and then his mind moved, and the dotted line observed the terrain below along the picture.
Because the altar itself was located not far from the cliff, and the altar had to be located within the limits of the city, Ningyuan could only use the altar as the origin to expand north, south, or west. Further south, there is a woodland, which Ning Yuan remembers is the Qinggang Wood Forest marked on the map.
Qinggang wood is a kind of general-purpose wood that is extremely widely used, and can be used in construction, refining, puppets, and alchemy. Arrows made of green wood have the same texture as iron arrows, but they are much lighter in weight, and are the most popular arrow material for many light archers.
To the west is the plain, and at the edge of the stereoscopic image there is a stream that appears to be an above-ground tributary that flows into Lake Longhata and can be used as a nearby source of drinking water.
To the north, that is, in the direction where Ning Yuan came, the northwest corner of the image seems to be a corner of the granite mine marked on the map. Granite rock is one of the most widely used and best building stones in the Nino continent, and the buildings built with granite naturally have the effect of being warm in winter and cool in summer.
"Looks like there's not much to choose. Any location here is surrounded by abundant resources, and the soil is very suitable for growing crops. ”
Ning Yuan thought about it, with the cliff behind him as the natural boundary to the east, and the altar as the coordinates to the south to delineate ten miles, just keeping a distance from the dense forest dominated by green and rigid trees, and directly delineating ten miles to the west, as long as a little transformation, the stream not far away that does not know the specific width and depth of the water can become a natural "moat". To the north, it is still delineated for ten miles, and the angle in the northwest is just next to the Gangliyan mine.
"So be it for now." Ning Yuan muttered as he looked at the rectangular area that was twenty miles long from north to south and ten miles wide from east to west set by the dotted coil he had turned into.
After Ning Yuan retracted the thought on the dotted line, the dotted line suddenly lit up, and the area circled by Ning Yuan in the image lit up with a faint shimmer.
"Have you confirmed that the delineated area is the initial building range of the Heart of the Rules?"
"Sure."
When Ning Yuan completed the confirmation in his mind, Ning Yuan suddenly felt that he seemed to have established some kind of mysterious connection with the land in front of him, as if as long as Ning Yuan's mind moved, he could vaguely perceive what had happened somewhere.
Of course, Ning Yuan knew that this was just an illusion. As the owner of the Heart of Rules, Ning Yuan does have control over the land to some extent, but everything is based on the modification permissions that the Heart of Rules can grant. For example, in the case of Koca City, the entire city is set as a forbidden zone. However, any city rules are only valid during non-war periods, and all artificially set city rules during war will be completely invalidated.
"Ask the player to name the heart of the rules."
Ning Yuan thought for a while, and replied in his mind: "Because of dreams, dreams come true." Let's call it 'Yuanmeng'. ”
"The player's Rule Heart confirms the name 'Yuanmeng', and the city established according to the Rule Heart automatically gets the name 'Yuanmeng'."
"I really hope that all the power I have in my hands, whether it is personal strength or the power of the city-state, is completely mine, and not a fantasy given by some existence." Ning Yuan unconsciously sighed inexplicably, "My life is up to me, not to heaven." ”
As soon as the words were spoken, Ning Yuan was suddenly stunned, but before he could react, a feeling of dizziness and extreme exhaustion suddenly hit, and when Ning Yuan didn't understand what was going on at all, the whole person fainted instantly.
At the moment before Ning Yuan fainted, Ning Yuan seemed to hear a thunderclap and a faint cracking sound in a trance.
At the moment when Ning Yuan's inexplicable exclamation came out, the entire Nino Continent seemed to pause inexplicably. However, because the pause was so short, that the monk did not even have time to move, almost everyone did not feel it.
However, a certain being somewhere in the void seemed to sense something at that moment, and let out a slightly confused "um" sound.
When Ning Yuan woke up, it was already night.
Ning Yuan, who had a splitting headache, struggled to stand up, and a look of confusion and horror flashed in his eyes.
"What happened?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself.
"Ugh!" Ning Yuan rubbed the side of his brain a little unnaturally, relieving the pain of his brain a little.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Ning Yuan clearly sensed that something was wrong with his body. This feeling is a feeling of exhaustion when the spirit is fully overdrawn.
Ning Yuan, who barely kept his consciousness awake, frowned and took out a Bigu Pill and took it down, then sat cross-legged with difficulty, activated the Nine Refining Runes with a movement of his mind, and began to breathe and recover.
With the help of the exercise runes, Ning Yuan quickly entered the state, forgetting the pain in his mind for a while, and his entire consciousness naturally entered the state of contemplation and inward-looking.
Under his inner look, Ning Yuan was shocked to find that the already faintly considerable internal qi in the Qi Sea was completely gone, and even the Qi Sea Spring was in a state of almost exhaustion.
Fortunately, with the operation of the exercises, the "spring" was once again in operation and began to slowly recover itself.
With the exertion of the effectiveness of Bigu Dan, the fatigue of Ning Yuan's body began to be quickly relieved by the replenishment of energy, and the internal qi also began to recover slowly under the operation of the exercises, and the spirit also began to relieve and recover by itself under the drive of internal qi and physical body.
As his spirit began to recover from the exhaustion of oil, Ning Yuan's consciousness finally cleared up a little.
As his consciousness gradually cleared up, Ning Yuan began to try to recall the reason for the incident, but he didn't know why, Ning Yuan couldn't remember why he fell into the point where all his spirit and spirit were dried up, and why he fell into a fainting. Even if he repeated the last scene in his memory over and over again with "sunset", Ning Yuan only remembered that he had confirmed that the word "Yuanmeng" had become the binding name of the city's knot, that is, the name of the city that was about to be built.
"What happened next?" Ning Yuan, who was pranayama, recalled it in his mind over and over again, but it was as if his memory was missing, and he couldn't recall it anyway.
Ning Yuan, who was almost stunned, had to force himself to give up thinking when he almost made a mistake in his qi because of the fluctuation of consciousness.
In any case, although Ning Yuan fainted and inexplicably fell into the situation of three decays, at least he did not play anything irreparable.
"I should really be glad that this inexplicable thing happened after confirming the ownership of the city, otherwise I would have been bitten to death by the demon beast in a fainting at this time."
Because Ning Yuan determined the personal mark of the city knot, that is, the name of the city, and completely completed the soul binding between the individual and the city knot, so under the protection of the rules of the city knot, he could be protected from the infestation of demon beasts within the city limits.
When the city determines the scope of the city, the monsters within the range will be automatically and completely driven away from the area, and not only the monsters, but also any consciousness life forms that are not in the city will be driven away and teleported out of the city after determining the ownership of the city. Until the core of the city is formed, no sentient beings, including those who have generated consciousness, can enter the city's confines except for the city's owner. This restriction will only be selectively eliminated when the city's two cores are automatically generated by the city's knots.
After the City Knot is determined, it will automatically draw the power of the leylines to generate the City Altar and City Pillar of the City.
The City Altar is the repository of the City Knot, and is also the place where the City is upgraded and other rituals such as the separation of the City Knot. Of course, at the beginning of the city's construction, it can also play the role of a city hall and be used as an office for the city lord.
The City Pillar is an urban intelligent core, which records all the history of the city, stores the relevant information of all urban residents, and is also a place to refresh the city's natural population.
The regeneration of the natural population of the city is the circle of choice. The Chosen Circle is a rule setting for the city to call the auto-naturalized population. When the City Lord sets the Chosen Time, that is, the daily population refresh time of the city, the City Pillar will randomly release the Chosen Circle to all homeless people within the boundaries of the Nino Continent at the set time. Once they decide to step into the Chosen Circle, they will automatically be teleported back to the city where the Chosen One originated, and become residents of that city. The Circle of the Chosen is named because only those who are chosen can see the Circle of the Chosen.
Of course, some homeless people with their own destinations, or those who do not want to become residents of a certain city, can refuse to step into the circle of the chosen one. To tell the truth, those displaced people with a purpose will generally not set foot in the Chosen Circle unless the city represented by the Chosen Circle happens to be their goal. Those who will step into the circle of the chosen are those who have no clear purpose or have no way out. Of course, there are also some situations where you accidentally step into the Chosen Circle, such as someone is being hunted down, and there happens to be a Chosen Circle in front of them, and then they have to step into the Chosen Circle in order to avoid being chased and killed.
No matter what the circumstances of stepping into the Chosen Circle, as long as you step into the Chosen Circle, the rules will default to the person who steps into the Chosen Circle and automatically become a registered citizen of the city where the Chosen Circle was issued. Residents with household registration must not harm the city lord if they are constrained by the rules, and they cannot unconditionally refuse the reasonable demands of the city lord. It can be said that the registered residents of a city are the power of a city that truly belongs to the city owner.
The next day, after Ning Yuan finished pranayama and restored his spiritual qi, the two landmark buildings of the City Altar and the City Pillar had also been generated.
The city altar is a courtyard-like building separated from the front and back, with a sacrificial offering room at the back and a city hall for office work in front.
The City Pillar is an eighteen-sided diamond-shaped black crystal pillar located in the center of the city, with an initial height of about nine zhang and an initial width of about three feet on each side of the diamond. The black crystal pillar is naturally engraved with runes of unknown significance, and the ancient city name "Yuanmeng" is engraved on the top eight zhang of each side of the diamond. The name of the city, which naturally exudes a mysterious glow, carries the breath of urban rejuvenation.
Ning Yuan got up and looked at the stone building that suddenly appeared overnight without warning, and was slightly in a daze. He remembered that he had been on the edge of the leyline altar before pranayama, but by this time he had appeared in a room with a table, chair, and bed.
Although the layout in the room is simple, it has to be said that it is really similar to a certain room in Ning Yuan's memory, except that there are no objects that only exist in reality.
Pushing open the wooden door and walking out of the room, Ning Yuan appeared in a courtyard nine zhang long and wide, the right hand side of the courtyard, that is, near the cliff is a spacious and bright hall, the plaque above the door reads "Council Hall", Ning Yuan is opposite and behind the three rows of houses, the left hand side of the room behind Ning Yuan seems to be the kitchen, the right hand side is the study, the opposite position of the study seems to be the warehouse, and the kitchen is the miscellaneous room.
Walking into the council hall, Ning Yuan saw a portal leading to the rear on the side of the city lord's throne, and after walking through the portal, there was a larger courtyard behind it, and there were also some rooms on both sides of the courtyard, and behind the back of the council hall was the city altar that naturally exuded a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
"It's amazing. Although it looks very simple, this ability to make something out of nothing is really amazing. Ning Yuan sighed slightly.
Walking out of the city hall, Ning Yuan looked up at the city pillar in the distance, thought about it, sensed the rule mark left by the city knot in his consciousness, and with a move of his mind, the whole person suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the position of the city pillar.
"Although you can only teleport between the altar range and the City Pillar, it's really convenient."
Thinking like this, Ning Yuan raised his hand and touched the pillar of the city. A virtual interface appeared in front of Ning Yuan's consciousness.
There are only two options on the interface, one is "City Events" and the other is "Household Register".
Ning Yuan moved in his mind and clicked into the "city event".
"On the seventh day of the Shen (September) month of 12019 in the city-state calendar of the Nino Continent, the Zhuxia Terran Ning Yuan (player) established the 'Yuanmeng Village'."
"Today is the seventh day of the Shen month. It's been more than four months. Although Ning Yuan still knows how long it has been since the beginning of the arrival, the specific date is still just now. After all, accurate estimation of the years did not mean much to him before.
Returning from the "City Incident", Ning Yuan clicked into the "Household Registration File" again.
"Player Ning Yuan's city lord authority has been detected, and you have the right to view the household registration file."
"Ning Yuan: Male, head of Yuanmeng Village. Profession: Cultivator. Strength: Human-level soldiers. ”
