Chapter 6 Chapter 49 Prosperous as a Dream Lingyun City
In the eyes of many people, the most prosperous place in every country is naturally an imperial city, but the palace of the Xiyu Kingdom they have seen seems to be just an old garden compared to here.
In Lingyun City outside Lingyun Mountain, almost all the high-rise buildings are made of marble and even white jade, and the tallest building has reached dozens of floors, and everyone else is the first time to see such a high-rise building, and they are stunned for a while.
Even Mu Qianmei suddenly had an illusion, she felt as if she had returned to the era she was once familiar with, as if she had suddenly walked into the bustling city of Vienna, full of European-style buildings, except for no electrical appliances and cars, the others were almost the same as a modern bustling city, even the street lamps on the side of the road looked very gorgeous and atmospheric, which was really amazing.
Stepping into Lingyun City, it is like entering a fantastic city, with high-rise buildings, spacious and clean roads, and most of the pedestrians coming and going are dressed in brocade clothes and have outstanding temperament, Gu Ruolan said excitedly:
"It turns out that the building can be built so high, and the people who come and go look rich!"
The others sighed as well, and then walked as they walked curiously at the various buildings around them.
Some people are still curious to count the floors of high-rise buildings, which look a bit like hillbillies entering the city.
Mu Qianmei was only a short moment of surprise, and then returned to her former calmness, compared to the amazement of others, she just inadvertently evoked some memories of the past.
In fact, from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't like this kind of prosperity very much, because she knows that the more prosperous the city, the farther away the distance between people will be, and many people who have been neighbors for a few years may not know each other.
Behind the prosperity, there is indifference.
So, Mu Qianmei said indifferently:
"Look at those people who come and go in a hurry, although they look glamorous, in fact, their lives are extremely boring, and they are living with heavy burdens every day, and they are not as leisurely as people in small places like us!"
"Here, the cost of living is very high, and after a busy life, maybe it is barely enough to live, and I am busy with work every day, and I don't have time to live a day of life I like."
Wu Yixue, who was walking on the other side of Mu Qianmei, asked curiously:
"Is it that hard to live here?"
Mu Qianmei nodded and said:
"It's very difficult, if you only look at the income, their income is actually not low, even higher than the income of the small owners who open stores in our places, but living here, food, clothing, housing and transportation need a lot of spirit stones, so the spirit stones earned are only enough to keep themselves alive."
"A lot of people are working to survive."
At this time, Gu Ruolan pointed to a middle-aged man who had just come out of the hotel and said:
"Look at that person, with a large group of bodyguards and assistance, hugging back and forth, he looks very well-lived!"
Mu Qianmei said faintly:
"Yes, it's a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor."
"Rich people can live a life of spending money and drinking, but after all, it is only a minority, and more people are struggling on the survival line."
Gu Ruolan couldn't help but say with yearning:
"However, seeing such scenery every day, no matter how hard and tired it is, it is worth it!"
Mu Qianmei smiled lightly:
"People will inevitably have such thoughts, the most beautiful scenery is always in the distance."
"People who live in the mountains and rivers every day feel that the metropolis is the most beautiful, and those who have lived in the city for a long time feel that the place with mountains and rivers is the most beautiful."
"So you look at the rich people, who have a lot of property in the city, but their estates are built in the middle of nowhere."
While talking, several people walked leisurely towards the city.
The further you go in, the more high-end the buildings are built, the big hotels, antique shops, grand theaters, tailor shops, big dart boards, etc., are very high-end and gorgeous, making people dazzled and dizzy.
After crossing West Street, they finally came to Lingyun Mountain in the middle of the city.
The high-rise buildings in the city, before this Lingyun Mountain, seemed insignificant.
Lingyun Mountain is not a single mountain, around it, there are also eight large and small peaks, a total of nine peaks, the local indigenous people, privately call it Jiufeng Mountain.
However, the eight surrounding peaks are all very low, as if an adult with eight young children, and the main peak is still standing tall and towering, which is very spectacular.
Jiufeng Mountain is twelve miles in circumference, surrounded by a three-zhang high bluestone wall, and there are eight mountain gates in total, and each small mountain peak is an entrance and exit.
Before Dabi, the entrances and exits were closed, and outsiders could not enter and exit at will, and only those with access cards could enter.
Outside the wall, there was a river, twenty zhang wide, which flowed from west to east, which actually branched off at the west entrance, and diverted to the outside of the wall on both sides, and then gathered together again around the wall to the east gate, and then continued to flow eastward, like a moat.
Mu Qianmei and her entourage came in from the West City Gate, and when they arrived at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, it was naturally the location of the West Gate.
Xiyuguo's office in Lingyun Mountain is located outside the West Gate.
Similar to the pattern of Hanjiang Dabi, the Five Kingdoms and One Sect also have an office in Lingyun Mountain, which is naturally also the person who receives the people from the country and the faction who come to do business.
When the Lingyun Mountain Billboard is held every year, the contestants who come to participate in the competition will settle down in their corresponding offices.
The person in charge of Xiyu Country here personally led the crowd to wait for Mu Qianmei and his party outside the gate.
When Mu Qianmei and her entourage walked to the Xiyu Building of the Xiyu State Office, the first thing they saw was a beautiful woman with a faint smile standing in front of dozens of people, who looked only about thirty years old, giving people a sense of affinity and ability.
Although she was always smiling, when her eyes swept it, it was as if she had seen through it.
Seeing Mu Qianmei leading the team, she walked over quickly, and as she walked, she opened her arms and said:
"Captain Mu, all the little geniuses, welcome to Lingyun Mountain, you have worked hard all the way!"
As he spoke, he hugged Mu Qianmei, who was walking in front, very cordially, and looked extremely enthusiastic.
After Mu Qianmei hugged her, she also replied with a smile:
"It's not hard, it's not hard, I didn't expect Ambassador Wenren to be so young and beautiful, and I am very scared to welcome you here!"
The woman immediately smiled heartily and said:
"Haha...... The name of the first talented woman in Xiyu Country has long been like thunder, and today I finally saw me, I am indeed as beautiful as a fairy, and my demeanor is shining, and it is really more famous than I am! ”
"Don't call me any Wenren Ambassador, it seems to be raw, my name is Wenren Muqing, how old is the idiot, just call me Sister Qing!"
Mu Qianmei said affectionately:
"Thank you, Sister Qing, we don't know anything about this, and everything depends on Sister Qing's guidance."
Wen Ren Mu Qing replied with a smile:
"Sister don't have to be polite, you come here, it's like coming home, if you need anything, just put it forward, we will do our best to cooperate and support."
After speaking, he invited:
"Let's go, let's go in, little geniuses, don't be restrained, come into the building with us!"
The Xiyu Mansion built here by Xiyu Kingdom has a total of sixteen floors, which is the highest compared to the surrounding buildings, of course, if it is compared with the whole city, it can only be regarded as a medium-to-high high-rise building, and it is said that Ling Xiaoguo's building at the East Gate is as high as thirty-six floors.
Of course, in this place where every inch of land is valuable, the cost of building such a building in Xiyu Country is not low.
Wen Ren Mu Qing led them directly to the highest floor of the Xiyu Building, the sixteenth floor.
The sixteenth floor is an empty hall with bright windows on all sides, which can be used as a large conference room or as a large dining room, where you can see the scenery far away, which is a multi-functional hall.
There were a total of thirty-seven people in Mu Qianmei and her entourage, and a total of sixty-five people led by Mu Qing to greet them, a total of one hundred and two people sat in the hall, all of which still seemed very empty, and if they were to be full, it would be no problem to accommodate five or six hundred people.
At this time, it was lunch time, and there were twelve wine tables in the middle of the hall.
Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng naturally sat at the same table with Wenren Mu Qing, and they were also seated at the same table as the champions of the previous two Hollow Valley Youlan Billboard competitions.
There were only five people at their table.
The rest of the people are received by other staff.
During the banquet, Wen Ren Mu Qing was very talkative, and while she beckoned everyone to eat and drink, she seemed to casually introduce the contestants from other countries and the Sword Sect that she knew.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
Almost everyone listened attentively, because they also wanted to know how strong the other nations and sects were.
After the introduction, she looked at Mu Qianmei and said:
"I also won the championship in the competition of the Empty Valley Youlan Billboard, but my results at that time were really incomparable to my sister!"
Mu Qianmei said modestly:
"Qianmei won the championship, it was pure luck, in terms of comprehensive strength, my cultivation is not high, and since I did not participate in the ring competition, it can be regarded as a victory!"
Hearing this, Mu Qing shook her head and said:
"No, no, my sister is unparalleled, no one has been able to enter the tenth layer of the Linglong Pagoda for thousands of years, but my sister has entered, this is the strength."
"My sister can break the highest historical record of Wenbi, Wubi and comprehensive score, which is by no means a fluke."
"For thousands of years, there have been many contestants, but none of them have reached the height of my sister, so we are all looking forward to my sister in this year's competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List!"
"I hope my sister can play at a normal level in the big competition, and let all of us in the West Rain Country raise our eyebrows once!"
