Volume 2 Juxian Mingcheng 0052 Colorful and great
Lin Xiaoyuan noted the location of the mountain and continued to walk east.
Before he knew it, he had been training outside for half a year, and there were still three-quarters left before the two-year appointment of the four brothers.
He planned to go around a city first, and Shopkeeper Lin once told him that when he was three floors after the view, he could go to a larger town to see the world.
The last thing this world lacks is people.
Crowds gather to form villages, towns.
But the strange thing is that there is no country in this world, each city seems to be an independent and self-contained country, and the connection in the middle is the master who travels to study, teaching words and language to promote education.
When Lin Xiaoyuan was studying in the school before, he also had doubts.
On one occasion, the teacher who gave a lecture inadvertently mentioned that when a group of teenagers can compete with all the adults in this country, then these teenagers are the gods in the "divine power of kings" as described in the book.
Now Lin Xiaoyuan naturally understands these words, if the young man does not allow the country, the country will not be a country.
There are hundreds of villages around the city, once every ten years, the immortal gate chooses apprentices, the children go out to experience the strength of all amazing, young and vigorous, naturally some people do not want to have the head of the mountain and what the king of heaven Lao Tzu, so the imperial power is divided, and all the towns are all vassal kings.
After a long time, they have long forgotten which country the imperial power was concentrated in this place countless years ago.
But Lin Xiaoyuan vaguely felt that something was not right, there was no first in the text, and there was no second in the martial arts.
The princes and generals who are capable of overwhelming the group absolutely exist, but he can't figure out the profound reason why there is no great unification for the time being, so he needs to take a look at it more.
Now, Lin Xiaoyuan has come to a city that is easy to dazzle, called Juxian.
The city looks majestic, with walls at least twenty feet high, but the color is not flattering.
The colorful walls, the crooked masonry, and even the walls are burning with flames of various colors, sticky as sludge.
Lin Xiaoyuan carried a bamboo basket on his back and wanted to sneak in, but he ran around the city wall for most of the day, and he was stunned to find only one city gate.
The city wall was too high, and he couldn't jump into it if he wanted to, so he could only honestly take out a few silver leaves as a fee to enter the city.
Getting closer, Lin Xiaoyuan found that the moat here was so bells and whistles.
Shouldn't moats be all backwater?
The blue waves are rippling, and there is no wind to spread itself.
The water is full of schools of colorful fish and shrimp, pebbles of all kinds lie around, and it is not uncommon to see turtles the size of a basin rising to the surface to bask in the sun.
Among them, there are also a few general spirit seeds, which have not been refined by the creatures in the water, and emit a weak light.
So many treasures, just for viewing?
Lin Xiaoyuan had a toothache, and his heart hurt even more.
Closer to the city gate, Lin Xiaoyuan watched many people line up to enter the city, and he followed behind.
"Oh, little brother, you also went out to practice, right?"
An uncle in front of him waited for a long time, and when he got bored, he began to look at the people around him. When he saw a handsome young man with shabby clothes but a straight and handsome body, he immediately came to his senses.
Then, the people who were waiting in line to enter the city turned back, and although some were indifferent and silent, most of them looked at each other mildly.
This time, the Immortal Sect chose disciples differently than before, and the momentum was huge, and even the spirit seeds were much more than before.
Therefore, these people who are waiting to enter the city have more or less come into contact with the young men and women who have practiced.
Although they are not flattering to people who are younger than their age, their attitude does not dare to be too arrogant.
Lin Xiaoyuan smiled stiffly and occasionally responded to his uncle's question.
Other people in line also gathered around and asked Lin Xiaoyuan what they had seen and heard on the cultivation road and whether they had met relatives who had also traveled abroad.
The movement caught the attention of the parade guards, and it wasn't long before a group of soldiers arrived from inside the city gates.
Leading the team was a young man in red armor who stepped forward and learned from the guards that this person was the chief of the guard.
The chief of the guard was covered in crimson iron armor all around, and only a pair of dark and bright eyes were exposed.
It stands to reason that such a heavy armor will definitely cause inconvenience to people, but the guards are not affected at all, their steps are crisp, and their bodies are also very straight, a head taller than Lin Xiaoyuan.
The chief of the guard is also a cultivator.
Lin Xiaoyuan felt the fluctuation of the guard's spiritual power, fluctuating between the fifth and sixth layers of the Observation Realm, and it was not a threat to him.
The chief guard also felt a faint coercion on Lin Xiaoyuan, and his eyes became even more intense.
He arched his hand towards Lin Xiaoyuan and said, "Young man, welcome to Juxian City, according to the practice of Juxian City, people in the cultivation do not need to enter the city, and most of the goods in the city are free for you, but in return, you need to help repair the city wall a little during your stay in the city." ”
The head of the guard spoke calmly, and did not use any desire or command tone to discuss with Lin Xiaoyuan.
"Your city is very large, if I repair it all, even if it will take several years." Lin Xiaoyuan groaned, he didn't want to waste time on this matter.
"It's normal for Shaoxia to worry about this, you only need to be responsible for a small part of the wall reinforcement, not all of it. Moreover, there are already many strong people in our Juxian City who have achieved great cultivation, and they all live in a house with strong spiritual power. Young man, after you enter the city, you can talk to them about the Tao and practice at the same time. There are also some special shops in the city, and the young man can also walk around there, in case he picks up a leak, it is not a profit. After that, you can repair the city wall together, it is estimated that it will not take long, and the spiritual power you spent on repairing the city is wrapped in us. ”
Seeing Lin Xiaoyuan's embarrassed face, the chief guard directly said all the benefits after entering the city.
Practicing the Dharma is a place of wealth, the Dharma is the exercise, the couple is a fellow Taoist, wealth is naturally money, and the land is a place of rich spiritual power.
As long as Lin Xiaoyuan enters the city, these are complete.
Lin Xiaoyuan still frowned, and said, "Can I ask why you want to repair the city wall?" ”
"The reason for this is very simple, first of all, our city is called Juxian City, so every cultivator who goes out to travel passes by this city, we will give the greatest preferential treatment, and it would be better if we could let those people leave their names on the city wall. A long time ago, the repair was fake, but the name was real. When these cultivators really achieve something in the future, then the city with which they have formed a good relationship will naturally be more stable because of him. ”
The head of the guard softened his gaze, and then continued: "But it's different now, our city lord is also a cultivator, but for some reason he has returned to his hometown. This year's vernal equinox is unusual. The movement of the Immortal Gate Disciples was so great that the four wild spirit species were overflowing, and the number of spirit gods was far greater than before. Not long ago, the city lord went to the Wolong Mountain Range and found that many spirit gods' tonic methods were bloody, and there was even a rare spirit god, the city lord was injured by a sneak attack, and he could only retreat narrowly......"
Lin Xiaoyuan watched the ordinary life in the city while listening to the story told by the chief of the guard.
Time and footsteps went away one after another, and Lin Xiaoyuan only felt that the giant city was colorful and great at this time, and there was no trace of contempt.
