Chapter 155: Yong'an Long Street

Ready to stop, everyone began to enter Junzhou City under the leadership of Shi Meng.

The spirit beast was too conspicuous, so it was stored in General Shi's mansion, and when the time came, I told Elder Juesong to ask him to send someone to fetch it, and everyone took the carriage arranged by Shi Meng to move forward.

Under the personal leadership of Shi Meng, there was naturally no problem with the inventory along the road, and when they were about to arrive at the Suzaku City Gate in the south direction of Junzhou City, everyone began to get off the car and walk to appreciate the style of Junzhou City.

The wide and smooth official road is no longer as dilapidated as the previous road, and the blue-gray stone slabs are neatly paved on the official road, extending all the way to Junzhou City, and the pedestrians and carriages on the road come and go, which can glimpse the prosperity of Junzhou City.

Yifeng and other disciples were all coming to Junju Castle for the first time, and when they saw the huge Suzaku Castle Gate, everyone was stunned by its magnificence.

The towering city wall is at least nearly fifty zhang high, almost as high as the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Nanzong Temple, extending from the Suzaku Gate to both sides, like two blue-gray mountain ranges, defending Junzhou City, and there are countless Shenwei legion soldiers guarding the battlements, waving flags, majestic.

In front of the city wall is a moat, formed by the Yi River divided into two streams and going down the city.

On the other side of the city wall, the foot of the city wall is close to the water's edge, and there is nothing to do. But on the other side, there are rows of houses, built along the river, with wide roofs, towering restaurants, and huge weeping willows on the water bank outside the houses, with willow silk and fluttering in the wind.

Along the streets formed by the natural formation of this line of houses, peddlers, pawns, villagers from the countryside, and doctors and scholars who went out of the city to enjoy the scenery of the suburbs, together with their families, filled the houses along the river, and the noise was endless.

Directly in front of the official road is a huge wide stone arch bridge erected over the moat.

At both ends of the bridge, there are tall stone statues of divine beasts guarding, facing the outward end are two brightly colored peacock gods, facing the city gate at the end are two golden phoenixes with wings spreading, the two stone statues are made by the craftsmen of Junzhou City, lifelike, volleying in the air, the color remains unchanged for many years, bright and beautiful.

Shi Meng introduced to Yifeng and other disciples that this bridge is called Tianluan Bridge, and there is a hidden and invisible horizontal line at the highest part of the bridge deck, which is the boundary of the Taiqing Gate blessing array.

The city gate is even more magnificent and huge, the towering city tower is 100 zhang high, and nearly 100 stone windows are opened on the city tower, each of which has a warrior to watch and guard.

At a glance, the stone windows on the city tower are densely packed and arranged neatly, making the city tower as majestic as a giant beast with nearly a hundred eyes.

The behemoth's mouth is the gate, which is made up of two gates made of fiery bronze ten feet high, and its crimson color is dazzling and awe-inspiring, creating a sense of indestructible power.

The gates of the city were guarded by the soldiers of the Shenwei Legion, and the inventory was extremely strict, the number of soldiers was large, and the city gate was wide, so it did not delay much time for the people who entered and exited the city gate.

Under the leadership of Shi Meng, everyone was released after a little inspection.

After passing through the huge city gate and the passage of the castle tower, which is as tall as the belly of the mountain, everyone finally entered Junzhou City.

The city of Junzhou is another scene.

As soon as everyone entered the city gate, their eyes suddenly opened up.

At this time, it is summer, the leaves of the four spirit sacred trees in Junzhou City have turned into fiery red colors, and the streets and alleys are planted with large and small four spirit sacred trees, a bright and bright red, under the sun, flashing with warm colors, showing vigorous vitality.

What bursts out of vitality than the fiery red Four Spirit Divine Wood is the bustling crowd of people on the avenues and narrow alleys.

Walk along the road to the city, people come and go, pedestrians are like a river, each square is placed with tens of thousands of people, countless street vendors and artists in the streets and alleys, a dazzling array of merchants and shops, adults and children, men, women and children, shoulder to shoulder, only one city square is like a small town, and such a lively town, there are as many as one hundred and twenty-eight in Junzhou City!

Shi Meng walked into a shop and bought a map of Junzhou for everyone, Junzhou City is so huge that if you are not careful, you will get lost, and it is very difficult to find each other.

But one good thing is that each square is clearly marked, the streets also have their own names, the city squares are neatly arranged, there are rules to follow, if you hold a map, wander around the city of Junzhou for a few days, after understanding the general layout, you will not easily get lost.

Next, Shi Meng was going to the Taiwei Mansion to discuss things, the Taiwei Mansion and the Cui Wang's Mansion where the Great Pillar Kingdom was located were not far away, and he would go with Yifeng and Yuchuni.

And Master Ran and others are preparing to go to the branch temple of Beizong Temple in Junzhou City-Baoxiang Temple.

On the map that Shi Meng bought for everyone, the more famous places are marked, such as Baoxiang Temple, Crane Pavilion, Luting, Dawu Emperor's Palace, Taiwei Mansion, Cui Wang's Mansion, Taishi Mansion, Huanglongguan and so on.

Except for the Dawu Emperor's Palace, which is black, deliberately not clearly marked, other places, as long as you walk against the map, although the distance is different, but it is not impossible to find the north.

Even so, Shi Meng sent two soldiers to lead the way and lead them to Baoxiang Temple.

Taiwei's Mansion and Cui's Mansion are both on Yong'an Street.

This long street, which stretches for dozens of miles, runs through the southwest of Junzhou City, and forms an angle with the southeast section of the Yi River in the city.

The closer you get to the Dawu Emperor's Palace, the more dignitaries and nobles there are.

The pedestal where the round Dawu Emperor Palace is located is called Yuntai, and the neighborhoods around Yuntai are basically the mansions of dignitaries and families, and the more ordinary the people, the farther away from the city center.

Ichikaze entered the city through the Suzaku Gate in the south, so they had to turn west to go up to Yong'an Street.

Yifeng and Yuqiuni followed Shi Meng to Yong'an Street in the west, and then walked to the front of Yong'an Street, and Baoxiang Temple was in Xuanwu City, in the north of Junzhou City, and it was necessary to bypass the Yuntai of the Dawu Emperor's Palace and go north.

These are two different directions, so Yifeng and Master Ran and the others separated not long after entering the city, and each went to their own destination.

Walking on the streets, although it is not as wide and prosperous as the main street of Suzaku, it is also innumerably lively.

Yifeng saw that there were no walls in the streets, but the houses were neatly arranged, and the streets were not cramped, allowing the horses to travel in both directions.

The houses in the market are all exquisitely built, with the most crimson wooden buildings and golden attics, wine shops, teahouses, tea and rice fragrance, inns, pharmacies, markets, vegetable markets in the alleys, and so on.

Men, women, and children in the city, dressed in all kinds of clothes, chatting and laughing, drinking tea and sitting idly, cheering on the stage, arguing about trade, and so on.

In addition, Yifeng also saw the school, private school, and even a wide cultivation place in the workshop. Many young students, Taoist priests, and young monks in various costumes are competing in martial arts.

Their clothes were fluttering, colorful, their power fluctuated, and their figures flew up. or cause a burst of applause, or cause people to scream in fright, although the battle is fierce, but there are back and forth, and there is no killing atmosphere.

It can be seen that the cultivation of aura has also developed greatly in Junzhou City.

From them, he felt a kind of pure power of faith, a kind of pursuit of the most essential aura of heaven and earth, and the most simple use of the avenue of heaven and earth in people.

At this time, in these young people who are cultivating, there is no entanglement of interests, no conflict of forces, and no power struggle, everything is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and then release the power of innocence, which is the smooth operation of the avenue of heaven and earth, as natural as breathing. What a rare state.

However, above them, outside Junzhou City, the forces of the three religions are intertwined, and their development is mutually restrictive, and there are many contradictions and conflicts.

From the conflict in Qingping Town, to the provocation of Leiming Temple, to the humane annihilation of Xiaoshan Temple, and the battle of Gangwon, which is only known for its name and not seen in the tragic situation, but must be tragic, the conflict seems to be the eternal theme of the three religions.

The root cause of the conflict lies in the fact that faith is contaminated with the defilement of interests, which shake the foundation of faith, so that faith is gradually blinded by interests and swayed by power.

In sectarian conflicts, faith has come to the bottom of the list, and it is the snobbery that holds the halberd high that charges the front line.

Yifeng himself was also a young man, and it could be seen that after seeing such a cruel night of killing, it was like encountering a reincarnation, innocence disappeared in that cruel bloodshed, and his mind, like his cultivation, was able to rise by leaps and bounds.

It's no longer simple, maybe it's a gift of disaster.

Yifeng walked and watched, watched and thought, and unconsciously came to Yong'an Long Street, where his eyes suddenly opened up: this long street can be said to be the most magnificent and lively street he has seen so far!

Now that he believed Yuchuni's previous introduction, thirty-two horses galloped side by side on this street, more than enough!

I saw both sides of the street, the first thing that caught my eye was the deep mansion built side by side, those were the mansions of the dignitaries, the princes and the lords, and the various sacred beasts and stone sculptures chiseled in accordance with the system of the Great Martial Kingdom, side by side in front of the mansion, and the two sides of the street looked at each other, like the ancient war beast field of the desolate wilderness.

There are also towering huge restaurants and imposing shops, where extraordinary people come and go, selling precious furs and treasures such as gold, silver, agate, and pearls.

The endless flow of people here are different from the people in the city they saw before, all of them are fragrant and pink, brocade clothes, and the carriages are also finely carved and colorful.

On the towering restaurant, huge colorful flags were displayed, and there was a beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, and a loud and high-pitched cheer.

In front of the splendid shops on both sides of the street, bright banners are flying, embroidered with gold wire, edged with silver wire, and the flaming red leaves of the huge four spirit trees along the street reflect a brilliant color.

These are shops selling gold, silver, jewelry, and precious furs, and they have a large stage in front of them to attract customers, with wonderful juggling, storytelling, singing and dancing, and so on.

It's really lively, and the bustling road is unknown.

In addition to these, there are many well-armored patrols and guard soldiers on the streets, their golden armor shining in the sun, holding scarlet flags at the front of the patrol, embroidered with the word "Shenwei", sonorous steps, hard halberds, brilliant and mighty, not to be forced.

Everything is in order, which makes people sincerely sigh: it is worthy of being the first in Dawu, Junzhou City!
