Chapter 20: The Imperial City of Anwar

Watching You Wuxian run away like a mouse hiding from a cat, Lian'er was so angry that she sat there and snorted: "Stingy ghost......! Of course, You Wuxian couldn't hear it, and at this moment, he was walking leisurely with Ji Xiaozi on the bustling streets of Anhua City.

I feel that except for the merchants who are in a hurry, most of the people here are strolling in the garden, and their faces show an indifferent look. You Wuxian secretly felt a little unbalanced in his heart: from the west to the north of Hezhen Kingdom, most of the remote areas and villages and towns, the people were living in dire straits, and if one accidentally encountered a corpse monster, he would die in Huangquan, and his death was quite miserable.

It is indeed a very prosperous and peaceful scene. However, behind the prosperity is insensitivity, which can't help but make people feel a little sad.

But then it was relieved, life is a process of self-selection, some people are lucky, and some people are unlucky. I can't force others to do anything, maybe it's all fate.

You Wuxian followed behind Ji Xiaozi, and listened to Ji Xiaozi tell him some of the human geography of Anhua City, as well as many popular allusions, which made You Wuzi amazed.

In Anhua City, it is common to see people dressed as masters walking the streets, but often in very different styles. Some are a whole team of twenty or thirty people, neatly and neatly: a yellow scarf is tied in front of the forehead, a dragon rope is wrapped around the waist, and the scabbard is exactly the same on the back, unlike Master You, who has a thick hemp rope tied behind their backs, and the god-killing knife is inserted so casually. They pedal on the cloud walking boots, uniformly dressed in strong suits......

You Wuxian often heard the master say, his ears were about to become calloused, and he knew that this was the royal "Demon Master" army personally managed by Emperor Li Xuanli.

Most of the army of the "Master Fu Demon" remained in the major important cities and concentration areas, and in case of an emergency, it was uniformly dispatched by the current "Master Master" Master Hua.

It can be said that the strength of these demon masters is not to be underestimated, and their strength is so great that they can almost subvert a country! Every time they make a large-scale mobilization, they will attract the close attention of the surrounding countries. So in general, the status of "master commander" can be said to be in favor of the government and the opposition.

In addition to the royal masters, there are many loose masters in Anhua City. They are not bound by the system and live a leisurely life. Most of them roam the rivers and lakes alone: some may die without skill, some may be a little famous, and there are many followers behind them.

Like the current "No. 1 Master in the World" Master Liang, a genius like Tianzhong, although he already has a city, he is still alone~

You Wuxian also found a strange phenomenon, some masters don't care about three or two or five or six together, in addition to the demon god mirror on their waists, they also hang strips of cloth of the same color. You Wuxian couldn't understand it, and he hadn't heard the master say it before, so he simply asked the Ji boy next to him.

On the contrary, Ji Xiaozi looked at him with strange eyes: "You are also a 'master', and you don't even know this? This is called 'tying a name cloth' among the scattered masters! For the sake of soul beads, when a person can't take down a high-level corpse monster, he often travels together."

Because many of them are temporary pairs, it is inevitable that there will be times when there will be confusion. And I've heard that there are legends that some corpse monsters will transform into their companions and wait for an opportunity to attack other accomplices, and that's when Mingfu comes into play. ”

As Ji Xiaozi slowly explained, You Wuxian also understood: the so-called "tying name cloth" is that the same cloth is torn into strips, each person writes their name on each cloth, and one person ties a piece on themselves. If you feel that your accomplice is suspicious, you can ask him to show his "name badge".

Even if you form a temporary team, if you are not familiar with your companions, you will never be wrong in your handwriting! This is also something that disguise and illusion cannot imitate. Of course, the chances of encountering fickle corpses are very low, and they disdain to use this trick when their abilities reach a certain level.

However, this habit of "tying the name cloth" has spread, it is a testimony of mutual trust and affirmation between peers, and it is also a special form before each mission.

This is quite thoughtful, and it makes You Wuxian sound very fresh. The two of them chatted while walking, and before they knew it, they had reached the central area of Anhua City.

It's really not clear how big Anhua City is, but in terms of prosperity, it is definitely the same in the entire Shenya territory.

It is mainly due to its unique cultural and geographical environment: it is close to Bihai Lake in the north, with natural fishery resources, in the south is the famous Huangxuanbang Plain, where animal husbandry is very mature, and in the southwest, there is a continuous supply of timber in the Panhu Forest.

In fact, Panhu Forest and Weiming Forest originally belonged to the same system, but they were horizontally cut off from west to east by Bodaoling, and they became an ecosystem of their own. It is very different from the regional style of the unnamed forest.

To the east of Anwa City is the seaside city: Yama Castle, where all maritime trade depends on Yama Castle for transit through Ava Castle. Therefore, Anhua City is known as "the most prosperous city" and "the throat of Hezhenguo" by the world...... It has always been guarded by heavy troops sent by major kings.

You Wuxian and Ji Boy walked around for a long time, and when they came to the edge of a square, their eyes suddenly opened up. It is no longer full of hustle and bustle, but faintly reveals a solemn atmosphere.

There are some quaint buildings scattered around the square, which at first glance are the specifications that can only be owned by the royal family, and they are strictly implemented in accordance with the layout of sitting north and facing south. This is the old capital of the former Tianluan Kingdom, because of the relationship with the Zhenguo Kingdom and the establishment of the Dragon Scale City as the capital, most of the buildings here can be preserved.

The position of due north is the main hall, and in front of the hall is a hundred steps of the dragon cloud ladder, which is very atmospheric and magnificent. It vividly highlights the status of the imperial city and the centralized value of the emperor's high power.

Facing the main hall door, in front of the cloud dragon ladder, there is a stone statue as high as three zhang. The stone carving is dressed in gorgeous clothes, his hands are spread and raised, his head is slightly raised, and his eyes are staring at the front fiercely, with a domineering spirit that looks at the world!

The characters are portrayed very expressively. Let everyone walk here, and they will unconsciously be in awe when they see it.

You Wuxian secretly thought to himself: Who is this carving? It is really majestic! Then he asked Ji Xiaozi with his eyes, and Ji Xiaozi couldn't help but be angry when he saw that You Wuxian didn't know anything.

coughed at the moment, like a storyteller: "This is the famous God Emperor: Du Xuan! Think that more than 600 years ago, the world was chaotic, and fierce beasts acted recklessly. People are fighting for territory without restraint, provoking incidents and wars everywhere, and the people are living in dire straits~

A generation of genius Du Xuan was born, leveling all ethnic groups and creating the pattern of the world today! As the saying goes, the times create heroes, and heroes create the times......"

"Stop, stop!" the boy got carried away as soon as he was proud.

You Wuxian stopped Ji Xiaozi's chatter, and asked rhetorically: "It stands to reason that this is a thing from the previous dynasty, and the ruler of the current dynasty will not allow them to be left behind~"

Ji Xiaozi Nunu mouthed, and motioned to You Wuxian to look at the broken stone pillars around the square: "Well, these are the carvings left by the kings who thought they had great merits in the past, but you see, in the end, only the God Emperor remains."

The real heroes are evaluated by the people, and the torrent of history can eliminate some people who think they have made high achievements but have done nothing. Like Du Kui, the last emperor of Tianluan Kingdom, there is not even a scum left now, and the only thing left is probably a reputation that has been stinking for thousands of years~

The people will always remember the heroes who turned the tide in the midst of danger, and even the great power of the Son of Heaven cannot stop people's thoughts. In fact, you can go to Dragon Scale City to have a look, the statue of Li Shanlou on the Divine Arm Mountain opposite, it is even more spectacular!"

You Wuxian has never been to Dragon Scale City and Divine Arm City, where there are countless legends about Hezhen Kingdom, and who said that Li Xuanli, the son of heaven, is not a generation of heroes?

Because the old palace of Tianluan Kingdom in front of them was heavily guarded, the two of them couldn't get through. I had to take a few quick glances and walked back.

On the way back to Aofu, the two saw an inconspicuous shop. You Wuxian saw that he was selling master's supplies, so he couldn't help but go in.

The owner is an elderly man who is drowsy in front of the counter alone. In fact, shops like this are quite unpopular, like the royal "Demon Master", there are craftsmen who make utensils and outfits for them, and Master San can use a set for a long time after buying a set, and rarely add others.

It seems that there are many masters in the world, but in fact, there are very few who really come to buy. The shopkeeper was drowsy and felt that someone had come in, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and when he saw that it was two boys, he was listless again.

However, out of politeness, the old man of the shopkeeper still yawned and greeted: "The two little brothers want to buy something, just take a look! Don't look at our small shop, but they are all genuine good things!"

You Wuxian looked around, there were really a lot of things here. There are wind-sheltering robes, armor and shoulder pads, large bundles of dragon ropes, and master boots...... There are also some soul-destroying stingers in the corner, but there are no god-killing knives, and it is estimated that only special weapons shops can sell them.

You Wuxian shuttled among the dazzling array of goods for a while, and finally his eyes stayed on a demon god mirror. This demon mirror is exquisitely made, and the whole body is natural and bright, and You Wuxian can't help but take it down.

He took the Demon God Mirror in his hand and checked it, and touched it lightly. The Demon God Mirror is a symbol of the Demon Master, and being able to have a Demon God Mirror is the "Master" in the real sense. You Wuxian can't even lift the god-killing knife now, and he's still far from his goal!

But thinking that sooner or later, sooner or later he will carry a god-killing knife on his back and a demon god mirror hanging from his waist to perform chivalrous deeds, and he can't help but look forward to it~

The shopkeeper saw You Wuxian pick up the Demon God Mirror, and raised his eyebrows: "Ouch, this little brother really has a vision, this is the treasure of this store! Mithril is mined from the cold and cold northern country of Red Handle City, and it is very rare on the market." You're quite knowledgeable, do you have anyone around you who is a demon master?"

You Wuxian nodded: "My master is a master, and it won't be long before I will be too!" The shopkeeper shook his jaw: "This little master is young, and his future will definitely be limitless." Dare to ask where to learn?"

You Wuxian scratched his head and took out his soul-destroying thorn from his arms: "This is given to me by my master, he used to be the 'Royal Master Demon Army' who followed Master Pan, but now he has long since retired~"

The old man raised his eyebrows, and solemnly took the broken and pointed soul-destroying thorn in the hand of Traceless Downstream. After looking at it for a moment, he said: "That's right, this is a weapon that was only used by the old batch of 'Demon Master' back then, and it is rarely seen now." I can see it again, and it's fate. ”

As if recalling a long memory, the old man closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said to You Wuji: "It's not a secret, my life was also saved by the master back then, and I was also fortunate to have a relationship with the 'master leader' Master Pan!"

Maybe you don't have much business, maybe you just want to talk to someone. The old man was interested, and simply told the story to You Wuxian and them: "More than 30 years ago, when the corpse monsters were wreaking havoc, their claws even stretched out to the hinterland of Hezhen! At that time, the world was in danger, and we, the common people, were living tremblingly, and no one could hope that we would survive tomorrow.

Despair hangs over everyone.

I was originally from Beitong Town, and that year the corpses invaded on a large scale, and many places around it fell into 'ghost towns' one after another! Finally, our village was surrounded by layers and there was no way to hide.

At first, we united to fight against them, but in the end we found that we could not match them at all! When everyone was dead and ready to be captured, a group of 'heavenly soldiers' descended from the sky! This is the army of the 'Demon Master'.

At that time, the master's reputation had not yet been established, and it was only a vague concept in our hearts. Unexpectedly, this team of mysterious characters was invincible, and they killed the corpse monsters in a few clicks!

At that time, it was the first and only time I saw the 'Master Commander' Master Pan. At that time, he was in the prime of life, and he was full of spirit, and in the eyes of us, he was like a god descending from heaven! That kind of momentum and domineering are not comparable to anyone.

Wherever there is danger, he will go there, help the people in dire straits, and always put himself in danger. It's a big hero who has to be admired!How is it like the current 'Royal Demon Master Army'~Alas~"

After a pause, he said: "So I have always respected it, especially the 'Demon Master' under the leadership of Master Pan back then! Little brother, this mirror is very rare and valuable, I think it may be a little difficult for you to buy it now." But I can keep it for you all the time, and when you really become the 'Demon Master', I can come and get it at any time......"

You Wuxian bowed politely: "Thank you, old uncle, you won't wait too long that day!" After speaking, he couldn't put it down and played with the demon mirror.

Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and snatched it away. You Wuxian frowned and turned his head.

When he saw a big man with thick eyebrows looking at the mirror over and over again, he saw the former glaring at him, and sneered: "What do children do with this thing? Shopkeeper, how do you sell it? I want this Demon God Mirror......!"
