Chapter 624: Into the City
Leaving the west gate of Miyue City, the cultivation team walked all the way along the wall of Miyue City to the south gate under the leadership of Liu Shouyi.
Occasionally, soldiers patrolling the city wall glanced down with sharp eyes, and they didn't show any nervousness or warning after spotting the group of people in the cultivation team, obviously travelers walking around the city wall were not uncommon in Miyue City.
Li Chen had already put away the tungsten gold battle armor after approaching Miyue City, although the battle armor was not a precious variety such as spiritual weapons and magic weapons, but it was also a rare item in weapons and armor, he didn't want to be intercepted by the guards of Miyue City as some suspicious person directly at the city gate, of course, there was also an exaggerated giant axe in the hands of the four women.
After turning the west city wall, they saw a row of broad-leaved trees about ten meters high from a distance, and the row of arbor forests extended to the south, in the shadow of that arbor forest, it was the so-called "official road" of Mars that the south gate of Miyue City was facing from the south gate, and the cultivation team was going to line up from the official road to enter Miyue City.
"I don't know what kind of wind the city lord has been pumping recently, it turns out that there is no need to be so troublesome to enter the city, and now I actually have to queue up to investigate my identity." Since Li Chengmin directly verbally warned Liu Shouyi, he did pay a lot of attention to what he said, and he was very sensible not to add the title of 'big brother, big sister' in front of each sentence, so the communication with the cultivation team was also more.
Of course, in addition to Liu Shouyi's preference for adding random titles, which is more annoying, on the whole, he is still a person who stands up, Li Chen and they don't mind his usual words, at least this makes them know more about the majestic city in front of them.
After all, the heroes on Mars are still very different from the earth, and the absolute boundaries of the city walls clearly separate the worlds of the people in the city and those outside the city.
"Oh? When did the identity investigation begin? Li Chen heard the complaint of the remaining one and took the initiative to ask.
"About two months ago! Two months ago, a team of guards was suddenly transferred outside the city gate, and then all the people who entered the city needed to line up to verify their identity, and there were no tens of thousands of caravans coming and going into the city every day, and there were thousands of them, from opening the city gate in the morning to closing the city gate at night, the long queue outside was lined up a mile away! Liu Shouyi said excitedly, it seems that in his eyes, a city with a throughput of tens of thousands of people is an extremely exaggerated thing, but he doesn't know that it is not uncommon for cities on the earth to have hundreds of thousands of daily floating population.
Li Chen and the others naturally wouldn't be shocked by such a number, the word that really shocked them was 'two months ago', roughly estimated, plus the ten days they had traveled to Miyue City, the time when they came out of the teleportation array of Brother Mountain was almost two months ago, and it was estimated that it was also the time when Olympus Holy Mountain issued an order to hunt them down!
This Miyue City is investigating them!? Or is this just a political response from Miyue City to the earthlings who suddenly visit the surface of Mars!?
Li Chen was secretly glad in his heart that fortunately, after Liu Shouyi followed them, they never called everyone by each other's names, although it was impossible for a small person like Liu Shouyi to know about them, but as long as one less person knew their names, then they would be safe.
Now Li Chen only hoped that the practice of checking the incoming and outgoing people in Miyue City was not the former he was worried about, if that was the case, they would not be able to stay in Miyue City for long, and even the changes in the misty area of Brother Mountain would be different from what Li Chen expected because of this incident.
No matter what reason Miyue City set up a checkpoint at the city gate, it was impossible for the cultivation team to turn around and leave when they reached the foot of Miyue City.
Compared to the news-blocked places in Geshan Village, they could only get Murong Zhilan's news through the news of the Martians when they entered a big city like Miyue City, and only in the underground city of Mars could they find a place to stay.
When they came to the avenue between the rows of trees outside the south gate of Miyue City, the situation outside the south gate was just as Liu Shouyi said, the procession into the city had already lined up a mile away, and many traders and pedestrians were either sitting on the ground, or sitting on ox carts eating dry food, chatting, waiting for the procession to move forward.
The speed of the queue to enter the city was actually not slow, and the reason why the queue could be more than a mile long was because there were many ordinary traders pulling ox carts or horse-drawn carts into the city along the way, and they could not use Qiankun bags like cultivators, so naturally they could not travel lightly. Moreover, as a high-ranking city, there has always been a steady stream of caravans coming to the city, and how many you enter, it will be filled by new caravans, so the number of people queuing outside the city has not decreased.
When the cultivation team finally followed the long line to the south gate of Miyue City, Li Chen could see that every merchant entering the city would take out a small wooden card, and the wooden card was engraved with different characters, which were obviously items that showed the identity of the comer, and the guards at the city gate only checked the wooden card of the team leader, and the people in the team only let them go after a general inquiry, it seems that the investigation of this Miyue City is not so strict.
And no matter what the material of the wooden card is, what is the calligraphy of the text on it, as soon as Li Chen saw this wooden card, he thought of the identity token of the registered disciple that Hou Die prepared for himself when he was in the Dishan Holy Land, and now it seems that the form of the two wooden cards is actually similar, I don't know if it can be used in this Miyue City.
Li Chen just thought about it, he didn't intend to attract so much attention, a named disciple of the Holy Land, even if his identity was ordinary, he could attract the attention of the guards, he just wanted to eliminate the attention of others now.
And Liu Shouyi, who was standing beside him, took out a small wooden plaque painted with red lacquer early in the morning, and the words "Miyue" were carved on both sides of the wooden plaque with small seals, which was the identity token he went to the city defense division of Miyue City before he left the city, and now it has become a necessary tool for him to earn twenty gold coins.
Liu Shouyi took Li Chen and his party into the city, which would not attract special attention, and save the guards from asking and investigating, Li Chen was also very glad to agree to Liu Shouyi's conditions, and it was expected to be convenient to be with people.
"Yohe~ Brothers, look at who's back!?" Li Chen and the others were just about to enter the city, but they heard that the guards of the city defense were actually angry and coaxed.
Their target was Liu Shouyi, who was walking side by side with Li Chen in the team, and Liu Shouyi also walked towards the city gate with an embarrassed face.
