Chapter 148: Falling Cold City
Ji Qiu only knew that Luohan City was the largest city in the eastern part of the northern border, and it was a place of easy exchange and trade in the entire Yuanzhou, and Luohan City was also the only city on the Honghuang Continent where human races and aliens lived together, so in his imagination, Luohan City should be very big and messy, very dirty and miscellaneous, but when he saw Luohan City with his own eyes, he found that there was a big gap between the facts and his imagination, Luohan City was indeed very large and very mixed, but Luohan City was not dirty and chaotic.
This is a mountain city built in the ice and snow, the whole city is built around an iceberg, it is an irregular circle, in terms of the area of the city alone, even larger than Yunyang City, the whole cold city can be roughly divided into two parts, not the north and south division nor the east and west division, but divided into the inner ring and the outer ring, the inner ring is centered on the iceberg, whether it is the earth and stone building or the ice and snow building that chiseled the ice and snow for the bricks, it is located in a relatively orderly manner, the volume of the house pavilion is also relatively large, it is said that the cold city is the treasure city in the north, this is true, there are many jewels on the mountains and pavilions in the central area, it seems to be inlaid with a lot of crystal treasures, under the oblique light of the setting sun, it glows with multicolored light.
The houses and pavilions in the inner ring were supposed to be where the lords of the city and the rich and powerful lived, while the outer ring was where the common people and peddlers lived.
In addition, the inner ring is quieter because of the fewer residents, while the outer ring is bustling with people.
Here the human race and the alien race are peaceful coexistence, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, it is the case, the inner city has alien inhabitation, the outer city also has the human race, there is a city wall more than two zhang high in the periphery of the city, it is not easy to obtain bricks and stones here, the city wall is all made of ice bricks, there are four city towers on the city wall, east, west, north and south, indicating that there are four entrances here.
Different from the city in Zhongzhou and the south, the entrance of the city gate here is both high and wide, two zhang high and short, and two zhang wide and narrow, if it is just to pass ordinary carriages and horses, there is no need to open such a large doorway, the reason why the city gate is so large is undoubtedly to pass large alien beasts, and the low roar that comes from time to time in the city also shows that there are many large beasts in the city, but these beasts are not alien people, they should be livestock carrying heavy loads.
At the same time as Ji Qiu observed from afar, the jade-faced green fox ran directly towards the south gate, it was sunset, the guards guarding the gate were closing the city gate, the jade-faced green fox rushed to the outside of the city gate, the guards guarding the gate stopped him and spoke loudly to him, and the jade-faced green fox also pointed at Ji Qiu and answered eagerly.
Ji Qiu's ears are clear, and he can clearly hear the conversation between the two sides, and the guards guarding the door are talking about the rules of Luohan City, which means that two points are clearly clarified, one is that fighting is strictly prohibited in Luohan City, and violators resist arrest and imprisonment, and second, foreign merchants can only stay for three days at most.
The jade-faced green fox didn't seem to be here for the first time, knowing the rules here, he was begging the guards to be a little accommodating at this time, close the door slowly, and let Ji Qiu in.
Seeing that the jade-faced green fox actually acted like this, Ji Qiu felt awkward in his heart, the jade-faced green fox did this undoubtedly to ease the relationship with him, in fact, even if the jade-faced green fox did not say anything to intercede, he would have time to enter before the city gate was closed.
After a while, Ji Qiu came to the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate glanced at him dissatisfied, one urged him to enter the city quickly, while the other explained to him the rules of Luohan City as usual, and those two were also those two, no fights were allowed in the city, and they would stay for three days at most.
The jade-faced green fox didn't run again, and kept standing next to him, waiting for the guard to explain the rules of Luohan City to Ji Qiu, and then he rushed over to him with a shy face and a hand, "Xiao Zhenren, you and I are so tired these days, suspend the truce, and take a little respite from here, okay?"
Ji Qiu didn't answer, he was looking back at the guards guarding the city at this time, these people were not the same as the people in Middle-earth, not only were they tall, their noses were high, their complexions were whiter than those of the people of Middle-earth, and two of them had yellow hair.
Seeing that Ji Qiu didn't answer, the jade-faced green fox carefully discussed again, "Little Zhenren, let's rest here for a few days, okay?"
Ji Qiu heard the words of the jade-faced green fox this time, tilted his head sideways, and looked at him coldly.
The jade-faced green fox sneered and said, "This cold city is a place where the human race and the alien race live together, in order to avoid the human race and the alien race have quarrels and fights, so there will be no fighting rules in the city, I am not playing peace, but the rules of the cold city, our grudge is put aside for the time being, I will definitely leave the cold city after three days, then you will continue to chase me, these days first settle down to breathe, rest and recuperate, you are a cultivator, even if you don't sympathize with my embarrassed appearance, you must always take care of decency, take a bath, change your clothes, and protect your Taoist majesty." ”
Ji Qiu still didn't speak, he actually could hold on, but the third child had a few bubbles of on him before, and now the smell on his body was very unpleasant, and he was eager to take a bath and change clothes, but he was very worried that the jade-faced green fox would take the opportunity to slip away, and the sea of people was vast, and once this guy ran away, there would be nowhere to find him.
The jade-faced green fox guessed what Ji Qiu was thinking, and said again, "If you are worried that I will run away, let's invest in the store together, inseparable, so you should rest assured, right?"
Ji Qiu was a little relieved, but he still had concerns, the jade-faced green fox was a flower thief, and being with this guy was afraid that it would ruin his reputation.
Just when Ji Qiu hesitated, the city gate was closed by the guards, and several guards heard what the jade-faced green fox said before, and knew that the two were enemies, so they admonished loudly, "Falling Cold City has the rules of Falling Cold City, no matter what grievances you have, no one is allowed to do anything in the city." ”
Hearing the guard's words, the jade-faced green fox nodded again and again, smiled at him, and turned to Ji Qiu and said, "It's decided, let's go to the store together, you have a deep cultivation, clear ears and eyes, you can live next door to me, if I act rashly, you will be aware of it." ”
The jade-faced green fox said everything to this, and Ji Qiu couldn't refuse, in fact, he didn't believe the jade-faced green fox, but the smell on his body was too strong, and he desperately wanted to take a bath and change clothes.
"You'd better not play tricks, or I won't be able to spare you. Ji Qiu Zhengse said.
"Don't worry, I will never take the opportunity to escape, let alone try to cause harm," the jade-faced green fox raised his hand sideways, "Little Zhenren, please go first." ”
Ji Qiu shook his head and said, "I won't go with you, you and I will go to the store separately, and we will meet outside the city at three o'clock in the afternoon three days later." ”
The jade-faced green fox agreed, turned around and wanted to go, thought about it and stopped looking back, "Xiao Zhenren, you are going out for the first time, it's better to be like this, I will be your guide, there are many rules in this cold city, with me to guide the way, it is more convenient to eat and drink in the store." ”
Ji Qiu knew that what the jade-faced green fox said was indeed the truth, he didn't know what rules and taboos there were in Luohan City, the jade-faced green fox seemed to be very familiar with this place, and with the jade-faced green fox as a guide, it could indeed be more convenient.
After groaning, Ji Qiu reluctantly nodded, "Okay." ”
Seeing that Ji Qiu finally agreed, the jade-faced green fox looked happy, and seeing this situation, Ji Qiu hurriedly said, "Don't be delusional about being close to me, I won't let you go." ”
"Okay, let's go," the jade-faced green fox led the way, "I'll take you to dinner first." ”
"I'm going to take a shower. Ji Qiu said.
"Okay, I'll take you to ......"
