Chapter 270: Three Years Later
Three years later.
Silver Mist Sea, Ningcheng.
Ningcheng is an emerging medium-sized city in the lower reaches of Silver Mist.
Ninety percent of the cities in the Silver Mist Sea are distributed along the Silver Mist River, and the scale of the city is also distributed in a stepped manner along the river. In the upper reaches of the Silver Mist River, there are a total of forty-two cities, and nearly half of them are large cities. The most upstream city is the center of the Silver Mist Sea, and it is also the largest city in the Silver Mist Sea, Silver City.
In the middle reaches of the river, the number of large cities is drastically reduced, replaced by scattered small and medium-sized cities.
And in the lower reaches of the river, even medium-sized cities are hard to see, and almost all of them are small towns.
This is not surprising, in the lower reaches of the river, the power of the Golden Yuan in the Silver Mist River is extremely thin, and after being divided among many cities in the upper and middle reaches, only some scraps remain. Yuan Xiu, who has strength and knowledge, of course does not want to stay in such a place.
After all, now that the river water in the Silver Mist River is getting less and less, and after years of war, it has become more and more difficult to collect the fragments of magic weapons. Without the supply of a large number of magic weapon fragments, the power of the gold yuan bred by the Silver Mist Sea has also decreased sharply year after year. It can be seen from the time when the Silver Mist Sea opened the gate that before the outbreak of the blood disaster, at the beginning of the month and the fifteenth day of each month, the Silver Mist Sea would open the gate, and the surging Jin Yuan torrent would pour down with a large number of sea treasures, rushing down along the wide river, and finally flowing into Caiyun Township.
But now, the opening of the Silver Mist Sea has been changed to once a month, and the Jin Yuan torrent cannot be compared with before.
The prosperity of Ningcheng is a matter of the past two years.
In the past, the only thing that could be regarded as a little famous in Ningcheng was Ningcheng's specialty black shell mica. Black shell mica is a very special kind of mica produced by the fusion of the river water of the Yinwu River and the local mica in Ningcheng, because the color is black and has the luster of shellfish. Therefore, it is called black shellfish mica, which is a good dual-use material for gold and water.
Ningcheng is the only medium-sized city in the lower reaches of the Silver Mist River because of its superior geographical environment. Because it is located on the border of the Silver Mist Sea and Caiyun Township.
The three-year war not only did not make Ningcheng decline, but made Ningcheng more prosperous, from a small town to a medium-sized city. It's all thanks to its location.
Compared to the Silver Mist Sea, Caiyun Township was much less affected.
The Silver Mist Sea needs a large number of magic weapon remnants to continuously breed the power of gold yuan, and the Yunquan of Caiyun Township does not need to artificially add raw materials.
Only the Silver Mist Sea and Caiyun Township were left in the Five Elements Heaven, and the ties between the two sides were even closer, and trade was more prosperous than before.
The fire of the plain and the corner of the yellow sand are in the hands of the blood of the gods, and the relationship between the two sides is a mortal enemy, so that there is no possibility of trade between the two sides.
The situation in the Emerald Forest is different. At the beginning of Emerald Forest's self-reliance, the reaction of the Five Elements Heaven was also fierce. But there is Grandmaster Dai Gang in charge, and there is the Duanmu family to promote. The two major war departments of Grass Kill and Real Wood were completely retained, and the Five Elements Heaven, whose strength was greatly damaged, was completely helpless to take the Jade Forest.
The high-level leaders of the Five Elements Heaven also realized that they would only die if they were attacked on their backs, and took the initiative to release goodwill to the Jade Forest.
The situation of the Blood of the Gods is the same, if they don't want to be attacked on their backs, they also need to be assured by the Emerald Forest.
It is said that both the Blood of the Gods and the Five Elements Heaven have recently sent their own missions to enlist the support of the Emerald Forest, even if they can't win the support of the Emerald Forest. At least we can't let Emerald Forest fall to the other side.
The Emerald Forest is left and right, at least there is no need to worry about the interruption of business.
The products of the fire and the yellow sand corner. It is transported to the Emerald Forest, and then enters Caiyun Township from the Emerald Forest, and finally enters the Silver Mist Sea. This trade route is extremely busy under the tacit understanding of the three parties.
Ningcheng, located on the road through which this trade route must pass, soon became prosperous.
A large number of chambers of commerce would set up branches and warehouses in these small towns, and caravans would pass by.
Haining Chamber of Commerce is a good chamber of commerce in Ningcheng.
There was not much business at noon. Su Qing was drowsy at night.
The guys on the side came over: "Early at night, I heard that Longxing Dojo is coming to open a branch dojo here, it will open tomorrow, there is a performance, do you want to go and see it together?"
Su Qingye sobered up a little: "Longxing Dojo?
The guy heyed: "Except for Longxing in Silver City." And which one Longxing!"
"Don't go. Su Qingye shook his head: "Tomorrow I will go to the dojo to practice swords." ”
"You don't plan to change your dojo in the early night?The strength of the Longxing Dojo, there must be nothing to say!" the guy encouraged.
"No, I don't change. Su Qingye muttered.
The guy shrugged: "Okay, then I'll go myself." ”
Su Qingye has red lips and white teeth, he is a beautiful young man, his personality is kind, easy to speak, not harsh to his subordinates, everyone likes him more, and he is naturally more casual in front of him.
Su Qingye was so disturbed by his own tricks, and he was sleepy.
According to his age, he was supposed to go to school in the induction field, but in the blood disaster three years ago, the induction field became the hardest hit area, and only a handful of survivors came out alive. In the past, all school-age children had to go to the sensing field to learn, but when the sensing field was gone, there was no place for everyone to go to school.
In the hands of the blood of the gods in the corner of the fire and the yellow sand, the Emerald Forest stood on its own, and the thirteen divisions experienced assassination, rebellion, and ambush, with heavy losses, and several of them were facing reconstruction. One after another major events are dizzying, years of war, the big people above, who still has time to pay attention to the construction of schools?
The disappearance of the induction field led to the rise of the dojo. The vast majority of families do not have the resources and famous teachers of the family, and the dojo becomes their only choice.
Although it can't be compared to the previous induction field, I can still learn a lot. Moreover, the dojo teaches very practical skills, which are biased towards actual combat, which is very suitable for the current situation.
The rise of Ningcheng has also attracted many Yuan Xiu to come here to open a dojo, and now there are hundreds of large and small dojos in Ningcheng, and there are some avenues settled in every month.
The emerging city of Ningcheng is seen by many as a market with great potential.
Su Qingye didn't go to the dojo at first, and only helped in his own chamber of commerce. The Haining Chamber of Commerce is not a big chamber of commerce, and it doesn't have so many rules, and his parents think it's good to be able to go to the front line and inherit their business.
However, as the war continued, not only did it not show signs of ending, but it became increasingly intense.
The war between the Five Elements Heaven and the Blood of the Gods spread from the borders of the Yellow Sand Corner and the Silver Mist Sea to the Old Land. The huge population of the old land and the large number of remnants of magic weapons have become resources that both sides must compete for. The unresolvable hatred between the two sides is the most blazing flame.
The situation within the Five Elements Heaven was also turbulent, and the contradictions between the Xinmin and the family became more and more acute. The rumor that the war department that needs to be rebuilt, and the radical must come from the family, caused strong dissatisfaction among the new people, and Jade Forest took the opportunity to win over a group of the best among the new people.
Under the turbulent situation, the living environment of the Chamber of Commerce immediately became much worse. The road became unsafe, and those who took risks were repeatedly banned, and law and order began to deteriorate.
To make matters worse, the guards are hard to come by.
The war on the front line continues to consume lives at an alarming rate, and those with a little strength are all requisitioned to the front line. The Thirteen Divisions, which have absolute resources in their hands, are full of temptation for young people who are gifted and ambitious.
That is the fastest way to rise, and the people who emerged in the blood disaster back then have become the backbone of the Five Elements Heaven.
This is unimaginable in peacetime.
The war is bloody, and it also provides a grand stage for ambitious guys.
Yuan Xiu, who had a little strength, was unwilling to stay in a small place like Ningcheng. Those chambers of commerce under the wings of the Maison do not need to worry about these problems. But for small and medium-sized chambers of commerce like the Haining Chamber of Commerce, they have to solve the problem on their own.
In troubled times, having wealth without the strength to protect oneself will only become a target of coveting.
A vicious incident occurred in Ningcheng that shocked the whole city.
The Baohong Chamber of Commerce recruited a group of guards, but unexpectedly, it was a group of bandits in disguise. The Baohong Chamber of Commerce was ransacked, and there were more than 300 people in the whole clan, and none of them survived.
The next day, Su Qingye's father found him a dojo to study.
It is safest to cultivate your own children.
The dojo where Su Qingye was located had a very strange name, and when he saw it for the first time, he thought that the master must be a guy with a strange temper.
The dojo was opened in Ningcheng three years ago, and at that time, the blood disaster had not broken out for long, and it was one of the earliest dojos in Ningcheng.
It's a pity that it's just a small dojo, with only a master and a sand puppet.
The master was very young, in his early twenties, and it seemed that he was injured during the blood disaster, so he went to Ningcheng to open a dojo, and Ningcheng had not yet flourished at that time.
There was also a workshop in the dojo, but Su Qingye felt that the master's interest in the workshop was much greater than that of the dojo.
Maybe the workshop is the master's main business, and the dojo is the side business?
Su Qingye was not in the mood to look at the store, so he said hello to another guy and walked out of the store. The young owner slipped away, and of course the guy didn't dare to have any opinions.
Walking on the street, Su Qingye summoned his own sand puppet, and the sand puppet transformed into a sand leopard, and Su Qingye stepped on it.
Back then, Su Qingye's father saw the master with a sand puppet, and mistakenly thought that the master was a soil cultivator, so he paid a lot of tuition fees to let him enter the sword cultivation dojo. Unexpectedly, the master turned out to be Jin Xiu, Su Qingye's father was very annoyed, but the tuition had been paid, so his father asked Su Qingye to study for a while.
That's what we learned today.
The sand leopard is actually not suitable for riding, because it is too bumpy, but Su Qingye thinks that the leopard is more handsome.
The streets are bustling with people, the prosperity of Ningcheng, there is no trace of war, and it is like a paradise here. In addition to the heavily armed Yuan Xiu flying through the sky, people can smell the breath of gunsmoke.
Su Qingye once asked the master curiously, what is the war like? As a result, he was punished by the master with 600 sets of quicksand steps, and in the end he was unconscious in his legs and almost crawled back.
Since then, he didn't dare to ask more, and his curiosity was even more intense, and the master was obviously in his early twenties.
After turning around, he came to a quiet place, and a dojo converted from an abandoned warehouse appeared in front of him.
Next to the gate of the dojo hangs a wooden sign with four words written on it.
Sword Cultivation Dojo. (To be continued.) )
