Zhencheng is located in the east of the Xinglong Mountains, at the foot of its branch Tongling Pass, its north, east and south are surrounded by the tributary Jinshui of the Baihe River, and is on the Hetao Plain with a mountain on one side and water on three sides. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The abundant veins of the golden water water water water and the sweet river water and fertile soil make this the most suitable place for human habitation.

Earthquake City has a very long history. As early as ancient times, the predecessor of Zhencheng, Jinshui City, stood here. At that time, there were hundreds of saints competing in the world, and the power of the Daomen did not become the mainstream. Zhencheng is just an ordinary small city, which is under the control of Xuanli Sect.

At that time, the Xuanli Sect was a large sect with a radius of 5,000 miles, although it was not top-notch, but it was also quite powerful and able to protect itself, and it was also a small reputation among the people who asked for immortals at that time.

However, because the Xuanli Sect suppressed a genius disciple, Lei Ye, the inheritance of the sect for more than 30,000 years was destroyed in one fell swoop.

That was what happened in antiquity. The grievances and hatreds between Lei Ye and Xuan Lizong are nothing more than a thrilling legend to the current people. There are not many people who clearly know what is right and which is wrong. People only remember that in the legend, in the last days of existence in the ancient era, Lei Ye destroyed the Xuanli Sect and destroyed Jinshui City, and then he and his followers established the Ten Thousand Bombs Gate on the foundation of the Xuanli Sect and rebuilt the core of today's Earthquake City, Yunlei Castle.

At that time, the destruction of Jinshui City and the establishment of Yunlei Fort did not cause much turmoil. It wasn't until the Cataclysm came later that Cloud Thunder Castle made a name for itself. At that time, it was more than three hundred years after the establishment of Yunlei Castle.

In the world of cataclysm, the continent is divided, and natural disasters are frequent. How to survive was a question that the living beings of that era had to consider.

In order to survive, all living beings began to fight. People fight with each other, cities with cities, countries with countries, races and races, but they fight in the dark, and there is no peace for a day.

In the Qing Netherworld, which is now known as the holy land of righteousness and the paradise of the human race, countless big demons have come out of the deep mountains and old forests where survival is more difficult, and countless demon beasts have wreaked havoc on the territory of human beings, breaking through one city after another, and destroying one sect after another that has been inherited.

In Mingzhou, where the earthquake city is located today, there is a fire spirit storm ape leading 30,000 demon beasts to run rampant in the world. With the power of its Heavenly Immortal Realm, it destroyed seven human cities and defeated six human sects. At that time, it was the most terrifying existence in the mouth of human beings, and its reputation was enough to frighten children to cry at night.

Due to the ravages of the fire spirits and apes, the humans had to flee in all directions, and they were desperate to find a place to hide from the monsters. Yunlei Fort has become the best choice for people because of its unique geographical environment.

At that time, Wan Bang Gate accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees and stepped forward to establish a defense line against demon beasts. In the end, the monks led by Wan Bangmen confronted the demon beast army led by the fire spirit storm ape across the river. This eventually led to the outbreak of the Battle of the Earthquake that has been passed down to this day.

The specific process of the battle of the earthquake city has been lost in the long river of history, and what people remember now is only the general outline and result of this battle: the battle of the earthquake city, Lei Ye, the head of the Ten Thousand Bomb Gate, led the monks to raid the army of demon beasts, and Lei Ye slashed the fire spirit and violent ape, destroying 30,000 demon beasts, making the Jinshui River cut off, showing its golden immortal power.

After that battle, the prestige of Lei Ye and Yunlei Fort spread everywhere. Lei Ye was revered as "Lei Zun", and Yunlei Fort was also called "Earthquake City" after this, which means that it is "the city of earthquake in all directions".

It can be said that the development of Zhencheng began at that time.

During the entire cataclysmic period, because of Lei Ye's sitting, Zhencheng became a safe place for humans in Mingzhou. Countless people came from all over the world with their families and families to live in the earthquake city, which made the scale of the earthquake city expand rapidly. Later, after the end of the cataclysm, many of the "refugees" who were collected by the earthquake city left the earthquake city and returned to their hometowns, but more of them settled down here, took root here, and made indelible contributions to the development of the earthquake city.

After their efforts, 100,000 years later, Zhencheng has become one of the largest and most prosperous cities in the entire Mingzhou, and with the establishment of the Xinglong Trade Road and the development of the Xinglong Mountains, it has transformed from the original Xiongcheng fortress to a giant trading city.

Walking on the bluestone avenue where there are almost no gaps in the earthquake city, feeling the iron-blooded aura coming from behind you, looking at the vicissitudes of life in the city that are wrapped in moss behind the bustling shops, an atmospheric and calm feeling comes from the pavement.

"It's such a reassuring city. As long as I was in this circle of black walls, my mind settled down completely, and I seemed to forget all the threats I had endured. It seems that here, the deep sense of security in my heart has suddenly become much stronger. Looking at the prosperity around and the bustle of people coming and going on the street, Li Jingxuan whispered to Qu Ying, who was following him, about his greatest feelings about the earthquake city.

The caravan was disbanded. After entering the earthquake city, Boss Luo, who finally arrived at the carriage and horse shop, announced the news very directly. After disbanding the caravan, Luo Lao Nature settled down in the carriage and horse shop. After completing the entire escort mission, it is not yet time for him to rest. As a merchant, in the following days, he must hand over and sell the goods in his hands, enter a batch of goods from Earthquake City, and form a caravan from Earthquake City to Wood City. This is the daily life of Boss Luo, who is a merchant in the Xinglong Mountain Range.

As for Boss Luo, people like Li Jingxuan who have other purposes simply come out of the carriage and horse shop, do their own things, and find their own mothers. Because they have their own purpose, they go in a hurry and go fast.

It's just that unlike them, Li Jingxuan is a little leisurely. Thinking of going to the city, he didn't leave the carriage and horse shop so directly. On the contrary, he stayed in the carriage and horse shop for a while, asking the staff in the carriage and horse shop for information about the caravan going to the city.

Li Jingxuan thought that the caravan heading to the city would depart soon, but in the end, the news he got was very different from what he thought.

The most recent caravan bound for the city had departed ten days later, forcing Li Jingxuan to come out of the carriage and horse shop in search of a place to settle down in the city.

Zhencheng is very large, its commerce is developed, and the density of the streets makes Li Jingxuan feel a little dazzled.

Fortunately, Li Jingxuan ran into Qu Ying soon after he came out. After hearing about Li Jingxuan's situation, this enthusiastic veteran businessman warmly extended an invitation to him: "Well, I still have some things to do in Zhencheng. Why don't you come with me if you want to, but if you are willing to help me, it might be much easier. ”

"What exactly do you want to do?" Li Jingxuan was puzzled by this, he frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Is this matter very troublesome?"

"No, not a hassle at all. I'm just being asked to collect the bills. This is just the task of the Xiaoyao Pavilion is just that there are thousands of people who owe debts, some people will pay off their debts happily, some people are patient and patient, and some of them will invite monks with good strength to stand on the platform to repay the debts. This requires us to have a master on our side who can stand on our feet!" Qu Ying explained in a low voice the work she was going to carry out.

"In other words, you have to have my strength to deal with those who are not paying their debts. Li Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"You don't necessarily have to do it directly, sometimes you just need to go over there and stop some people with bad intentions. Qu Ying said with a smile.

"Well, it seems to be pretty simple. Li Jingxuan held his chin with his right hand and thought for a while, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay! Who made you help me a lot during the journey? By the way, when are we going to start? Now?"

"No, it's starting tomorrow! Now let's find a place to rest. Qu Ying chuckled and shook her head.

At that moment, he grabbed Li Jingxuan and strolled down the street. During this stroll, the two were relaxed, but they talked about some interesting things that they didn't have. And it was in this situation that Li Jingxuan whispered some of his views on Zhencheng: "If Mucheng is more like a cottage than a city, then Zhencheng is undoubtedly more like a fortress than a city." Although the shops on the streets of Zhencheng are adjacent to each other, and they are so dense that they are like the stars in the sky, it seems that the atmosphere of commerce and trade is very strong, but this atmosphere is only superficial as far as Zhencheng is concerned. In the dark, the core of the earthquake city is still that iron-blooded and calm atmosphere. This kind of atmosphere is the characteristic of Earthquake City, and it is the key to what distinguishes Earthquake City from other cities. ”

"Your observation is amazing. Hearing Li Jingxuan say this, Qu Ying nodded approvingly: "It's reassuring, this is the most attractive thing about Zhencheng." In terms of my experience of traveling from south to north, if I had to choose a holy place for the elderly in my mind, then I would definitely choose to live in Zhencheng. After all, I've been through too much fighting, killing, and if I take a break, I must choose a place where I feel safe, and Quake City is such a place!"

"Well, you're not wrong at all. Li Jingxuan recognized this very much: "If you can live in Zhencheng, stay away from so many disputes, and live a peaceful and stable life, it is indeed a kind of happiness." ”

"Happiness is happiness, but if you want to get this kind of happiness, I still have to work hard for decades. Speaking of this question, Qu Ying couldn't help but sigh: "There are many people who want to come to Zhencheng, so the supply of houses in Zhencheng is in short supply." It's not easy to settle down here. ”

"What's the matter??, the housing prices in Zhencheng are very high?" Li Jingxuan was a little surprised.

Li Jingxuan didn't expect to hear such a fashionable question here.

"yes! I also inquired about the market a while ago. Now if you want to buy a small courtyard in Zhencheng, it is the kind of courtyard with a front yard patio, two large houses, and seven or eight partial houses, which costs 3,000 yuan stones. Qu Ying sighed and said a "high" price that surprised Li Jingxuan.

"Three thousand yuan stones, buy a good spirit weapon flying sword in the Xiaoyao Palace, which is about the same price. This is really" Li Jingxuan shook his head, not knowing what he should say.

He never imagined that in this world completely dominated by monks, he would encounter a situation similar to his previous life.

Could it be that the act of settling down in a metropolis has become a benchmark for people's success? This was the case in the big cities of the last lifetime, and the situation is similar in this lifetime

Li Jingxuan was speechless about this. It's just that he also understands that he has no power to change all this at the moment, so he can only sigh and stop talking about this topic in the end.

Just walked around and talked, Qu Ying took Li Jingxuan to a very lively but not bustling street. This is not the main street of Quake. Li Jingxuan looked at the passers-by and found that the clothes on their bodies seemed to be worse than what they had seen before, and they were full of the smell of civilians.

"This is" Li Jingxuan looked at Qu Ying with doubts in his eyes.

"This is the civilian area of Earthquake City, although it is just as lively, but unlike the previous one, this place is more suitable for people like you and me. If you want the best way to live in Quabble with the least amount of money, then you have to come here. Because everything here is very affordable, and it is best for bachelors like us. Qu Ying smiled heartily, patted Li Jingxuan's shoulder vigorously, and pulled him towards a small building with "Anmin Inn" written on it.

"The proprietress is here!" Qu Ying pulled Li Jingxuan and strode into it, and before the shopkeeper in the inn came to entertain, she muttered loudly in her voice.

Li Jingxuan could see from his unseen behavior that he was already a frequent visitor to this inn. Li Jingxuan estimated that Qu Ying was very familiar with the people in this inn.

"Be quiet!" Sure enough, as Qu Ying shouted loudly, a charming complaint came from far away from the depths of the inn: "You guy shouts so earth-shattering every time you come, could it be that you are deliberately trying to ruin my business?" ”

The coquettish voice came from far and near, and Li Jingxuan saw a curtain in the front hall of the inn lifted, and saw a bewitching body strolling in front of Qu Ying, bringing a burst of floral fragrance. This floral fragrance is a very mature floral fragrance, which reminds Li Jingxuan of a mature beauty. In fact, the one who appeared in front of Li Jingxuan was such a well-ripened royal sister.

"Don't say that! I'm bringing a new person to cheer you on today. Qu Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, but she asked the woman to save a little face for herself.

"Cheers, as long as you keep quiet and don't freak my guests away too much, I'll be thankful. The woman's words were very fast, and she finished a sentence in a hurry, which made people feel very strange, as if she had eaten something hot. To be continued.
