Chapter 68: Jing Mo City
The Phantom Domain, which encompasses millions of miles of mountains and rivers, is one of the two major regions of the Phantom Tide Empire, and in general it is more famous than the Tide Domain, after all, the Imperial City and the Dragon Soul Hall Headquarters are all established in the Illusory Domain, making this seemingly boundless region extremely prosperous. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The empire is strong, and every large county has at least one king, and even the border cities and the counties where some super-large forces are located may have three or four kings.
Most of these kings were princes, but although they were canonized by the royal family, they had a great deal of autonomy and did not have to be completely loyal to the royal family, but they could never betray them.
Fuhan County, a large county in the Phantom Domain, is located in the eastern part of the Phantom Domain, and hundreds of cities in the surrounding area belong to its management scope, and the scale is second only to the counties where the top forces are located in the Phantom Domain.
Fuhan County is also the kind of county directly under the royal family, which is jointly governed by a local prince and two royal clan elders, and the three kings manage a county together, which is still rare in the Phantom Domain, especially this kind of county directly under the royal family, there is generally only one king.
However, this seemingly very strange arrangement has its own rationality, and there is still a kind of place in this land that needs to be monitored by enough strong people.
The Eternal Jedi has always been a mysterious and terrifying region, and it is natural to send more strong people to guard these forbidden places.
Soul Lake, one of the five Jedi in the mainland, is located in the Phantom Domain, adjacent to a city under the jurisdiction of Fuhan County, Jing Mo City, because this is the closest city to this terrifying forbidden land, so one of the three kings sitting in Fuhan County is directly guarding here, which shows how jealous the empire is of these forbidden places.
The Lake of the Soul, like all forbidden places, is shrouded in a layer of fog, and it is said that there are countless lakes there, which are covered by fog all year round, and people will get lost in it at the first time, if they are lucky, they can walk back, and if they are unlucky, they will never get out......
This forbidden land naturally covers a very wide area, and the Tiandang Mountain Range, which is a great fierce land, can only bow its head compared to it, not at the same level.
And legend has it that those lakes were in that distant era, when the heavens and the earth were not opened, and the origin was terrifying, and it was rumored that there was no God Emperor in ancient times to conquer this place and walked to the center of the Soul Lake.
Ancient books record what these emperors saw, and behind the many lakes, it was actually a large and boundless lake, which felt like the ocean where mortals could only see the horizon and not see the other side, but only the oversized lake was not shrouded in fog.
The ancient emperors had inspected there, and it was rumored that they had entered the great lake, but before they entered the water, they felt that the spirit was unstable, and there were signs of separation from the physical body.
In the end, no one could reach the center, and the returning emperors also warned future generations not to explore the depths at will, and also pointed out the horror of those lakes, which could forcibly separate the original gods of the people, and the fog led most people to those lakes.
They concluded that this was the reason why the explorers had disappeared.
The emperor's words, who can not believe it, the fierce reputation of the Soul Lake has also spread out, although the forbidden land has never taken the initiative to break out of turmoil, but as long as they are there, the strongest people on the continent will not be able to sleep and eat, and they have to send more people to monitor there, although they also understand that this is basically useless, just for psychological comfort.
But that doesn't mean that no one really dares to enter, and in fact, many facts have proven that there is no great danger in operating on the periphery of these Jedi. On the contrary, you can also harvest a lot of strange things and great opportunities, and over the years, there are many people who have encountered great opportunities here and soared into the sky.
This kind of temptation is naturally very attractive, even if you know that it is a forbidden place, but for the sake of profit, there are always many people who are very bold to go there to hunt for treasure, of course, they will definitely only dare to go around the periphery.
There are many people who come here to hunt for treasures, and the surrounding cities have naturally shared a lot of benefits, Jingmo City is closest to the Soul Lake, so it is also very prosperous here on weekdays, and it is comparable to the main city of Fuhan County.
People who want to enter the city, they can see dozens of dangerous buildings in the city from afar, and the architectural style of the Phantom Domain always advocates tall appearance, so some forces here obviously have their own small worlds, but they still move the foundation of the sect out, and they are located in the tallest buildings in the city.
And under these high-rise buildings, it is naturally the most prosperous street in the city, from the city gate to the city center, almost no road is slightly empty, and every street is full of people.
On the street, there are pharmacies, horcrux pavilions, auction halls and so on, and the scale is also very large, basically contracted by several major forces here.
Although there is only one king in Jingmo City now, the three major forces at the top of the list here are rumored to be supported by other large forces or families in the outside world, so even if they don't have a king here, the princes who guard Jingmo City don't dare to do anything to them.
And it is unreasonable to think that the three major forces with such a strong background should only jointly command this single city, but when outsiders really realized how big Jing Mo City was, they understood.
Jingmo City, although it is a city, its area is no smaller than the main city of Fuhan County, and the territory of each of the three major forces is still very wide, which is enough for them to develop.
In addition to the family businesses of these forces, the rest of the smaller forces and some loose cultivators who are not weak also operate some small shops, of course, more of them still have various items on the markets on both sides of the street, waiting for someone to take a fancy and buy later.
Because it is next to the Soul Lake, there are often people who are lucky enough to catch some rare artifacts and sell them here, so maybe you can find some treasures if you are sharp-eyed, and there are also a lot of treasures in the auction hall here that are auctioned every day.
In general, these are the main reasons for Jing Mo City's popularity.
"Wow! Lin Long, look, that irregular object that glows with blue light is so amazing!"
"Ahh
"Wow! This silver bracelet is so beautiful, so many people are looking at it, is there any magical effect?"
............
In one street, a lively girl seemed to have a stronger curiosity about everything in the stalls around her than ordinary people, and exclaimed vigorously as she walked, pulling the corner of the clothes of a young man next to her, and wanted to show him.
was constantly pulled like this, and the young man next to him who was good-looking was also full of black lines, and after the "resistance" was ineffective, he had no choice but to turn around and be forcibly pulled around by her.
"Fluttershy, haven't you seen these scenes back then?" Peng Hui, who had recently entered the city with Fluttershy, said with a wry smile to the girl who was pulling him, full of confusion.
"Hmph! I rarely went out in the clan before, and I didn't go through such big cities when I left, are you despising me for not seeing the world?" Fluttershy replied dissatisfiedly as she listened to Peng Hui's slightly complaining words, and seemed very upset.
Peng Hui was speechless, you are still qualified to refute me by squatting at home, although he is indeed a hillbilly now with amnesia, but he still hides his surprise in his heart, how can ordinary people show it on their faces at will, isn't it funny?
Sure enough, some of the people passing by around them did look at them with ridicule and contempt, and they left the village wearing the simple clothes of the villagers, and it is not surprising that Fluttershy is so conspicuous in the bustling city, and it is true.
"Don't scream, no matter how curious you are, you can't just take it, do you think we have enough money to squander on this?" Peng Hui couldn't help it, grabbed Fluttershy back, and whispered.
"Hmph!" snorted angrily, Fluttershy finally stopped, if she was usually going to have a big fight with Peng Hui, but now that so many people are watching, thinking about it, it was indeed a shame just now, as a girl, she naturally still values her face, even if she is sometimes a woman.
Peng Huicai didn't care what she thought, he forced her out of the crowd, found a store that sold clothes, and spent a lot of money to finally buy a few suitable clothes.
Peng Hui changed into a silver robe, and his mask was also a handsome face, so there was really a handsome and chic charm in this dress, which was many grades higher than the hillbilly style earlier.
Fluttershy has changed even more, the simple linen clothes she wore earlier gave her a slight advantage to her elegant appearance, and now, as an unruly girl, she has chosen a tight-fitting outfit to wear, the dark and brown tights seem to grow on her, highlighting her beautiful figure that she barely shows off, and she has removed her braids, and her straight black hair hangs down to her waist, like a jade figure in a painting.
The two of them have really changed a lot after changing into new clothes, and now if they walk down the street together, it will definitely attract a lot of people to turn back, of course, mainly because of the ethereal and handsome Fluttershy, after all, beautiful women attract more attention than handsome guys.
Even Peng Hui is not calm, his eyes occasionally instinctively glance at Fluttershy's water snake waist and hips, and as a normal man, even if he has amnesia, these men's instinctive reactions are still working very normally.
Fluttershy is also in a very good mood at this time, walking lightly, still browsing the various curiosities in the market from time to time, and although she doesn't exclaim anymore, this curiosity can't be suppressed.
This time, Peng Hui didn't care about her, he just kept an eye on her at all times, afraid that she would get lost, he himself was actually watching something, some good guys even made him a little excited, and immediately had to sigh in his heart Sure enough, the outside world is different.
In this way, they turned a few streets this morning, and Fluttershy asked Peng Hui to buy her the things she liked several times, but Peng Hui only glanced at them and refused, most of them were useless decorations, and although the girl liked them, he didn't want to spend his money on these useless things, besides......
Before entering the city, Peng Hui puts Fluttershy's space ring on his finger for various reasons, in the name of rational financial management.
Now I have a rough count of the deposits. Peng Hui's face suddenly collapses, and he immediately picks up Fluttershy and leaves, regardless of her shouting and forcibly pulls her away.
Fluttershy pouted, and she was very unhappy with this passive pull, but it was impossible to fall out in the street, and she vowed to teach Peng Hui a good lesson when she found a place to rest.
But as it happens, Peng Hui actually took her to a slightly less crowded street, found a reasonably priced inn, set up a room, and took Fluttershy upstairs.
............
"Don't fight! let's get down to business, ouch!" Peng Hui screams in one of the rooms as he is cleaned up by Fluttershy, who has been completely beaten by Fluttershy with his second-order soul power and forgetting most of his spells.
He wants to get down to business, but Fluttershy doesn't give him a chance, so he sulks before stopping, Peng Hui touches the bruises on his face, and secretly says that this girl is really ruthless.
Fluttershy snorted and sat with one leg crossed over the other, the look on her face expressing her extreme displeasure with Peng Hui.
"Alas, don't make a fuss about it yet, if you bought those things, I'm afraid we won't even have a place to live today. Peng Hui sat down on a chair with difficulty and said lightly.
"Of course I do, but I'm just angry that you're pulling me around like a cargo. Fluttershy complains, which makes Peng Hui vomit blood.
"Then how are you going to solve the current economic crisis, since you yourself mentioned it first, you have to solve it yourself. Fluttershy adds, without waiting for Peng Hui to answer.
Peng Hui was speechless, he was ordered to raise money on his own before he could say his thoughts, if he wasn't as strong as Fluttershy, he would definitely have to rise up and teach this self-acquainted girl a good lesson.
"Okay, okay, I'll raise money, you can rest first. Peng Hui said perfunctorily, waving his hand, but Fluttershy didn't give him a chance to hang his appetite and pulled him by the collar and urged him strongly.
"Well, please don't be so impulsive, you listen to me. Peng Hui pressed her shoulder, and suddenly his words became serious, and he leaned closer to Fluttershy's ear and said mysteriously.
"I can refine some elixirs and sell them at the market, do you understand—!!" Before he finished his plan, Peng Hui immediately shouted at a louder voice, immediately scaring Fluttershy back a few steps.
"What's the matter, if I sell the alchemy pill, I will definitely make some money, so that we will have a foothold for a while. Peng Hui patted his chest and said, feeling very satisfied with his plan, just using the alchemy of his deputy job to get rid of poverty.
But he seemed to have forgotten what he had just done, and before he finished smiling complacently, a chill came to him.
It's true that if you don't die, you won't die, Peng Hui is destined to be injured in alchemy this afternoon. (To be continued)
