As an ancient city with a long history, but it is also a new city that is currently developing, there are many powerful people who have emerged over the years, and it is inevitable to build mansions on a large scale.

Therefore, the city is still developing, and the houses of the people are very dilapidated, but there are more and more shops and houses of the officials and magnates, slowly squeezing the living space of ordinary people in the city.

Hong Sleeve found some old maps of urban development for Sedum, the oldest should be a map more than 500 years ago, the Shendu at that time, and it is still very different from now.

More than 500 years ago, the overall scale of Shendu has been formed, at least a few major avenues have basically existed, and the two main streets running through the whole course are in the direction of north-south and east-west, mainly Qinglong Street, Suzaku Avenue, and the relatively small but main roads Baihu Street and Qilin Street!

The city thought that it had been changed according to the river course, forming a pattern of east and west sides ending up, and the north and south directions were relatively short, but the east-west impasse was thousands of miles, and it was connected to most of the towns outside the city!

The terrain from north to south is higher, and Suzaku Street becomes two sections, and the northernmost section is the avenue directly opposite the Imperial Palace, and the reason why this is cut off is precisely because of the sacred mountain in the castle!

Because it is the confluence of Luoshui and Manghe, blue bricks have been built on both sides of the river in the city, and the river channel in the city has been fixed for many years, but several large and small lakes have also been formed!

Liyang Lake in the palace is the largest royal garden, as well as Moli Lake, Xuanwu Lake, Yuan Lake and Dongda Lake, which are the most famous scenic spots in the Shendu City.

Along the lake is a place where merchants are concentrated, and it is really "20 miles of Qiaoqiao, 30,000 shops!" The confluence of the two rivers naturally brings countless merchants and passengers, and the land of the four seas is very developed.

Sedum wanders around in the Shendu, several days have not finished these commercial streets, Sedum is in the middle of it, it is inevitable to be dazzled, it is really: "The Red Mansion Painting Pavilion, the embroidered bead curtain, the carved car competes in the Heavenly Street, and the horse gallops on the royal road." Liu Mo is a flower, but when he hears a new voice and laughs, the teahouse wine shop, all the strings are tuned according to the orchestra. It is really full of flowers, the flute and drums are noisy, Jin Cuiyao said, Luo Qi is fragrant. ”

The prosperity of the streets cannot hide the squalor and backwardness of the large square meter area in the west of the city, where the poorest people in the city live!

All kinds of low-slung and disgusting housing spaces, dirty streets, and narrow alleys with stinking water, where the poor and beggars of the city live, this is the place of scabies under the glamour of the Shendu City, like a bald spot in the middle of black hair.

Sedum has been walking around the entire Shendu City in the past few days, looking for the entrance to the dungeon, but even if he finds a few, it doesn't seem to be the main entrance, and it is a dead end if he can't go far inside.

Being in such a place for a long time makes people's mood very depressing, and Sedum also needs to be slow, and it doesn't seem so urgent to correct his own motives, so it's better to talk about it slowly.

Big cities still have the benefits of big cities, although it is a hell for the poor, but it is also a paradise for the rich!

Sedum's brother-in-law, the Changfang family of the Liu family, has been operating in the Shendu for many years, and it can be regarded as a small influence, and the brother-in-law is still an alternate official, and he is currently allowed to be released and merged into the state as an official.

After chatting with his sister, Sedum learned that because the current situation in the Northeast Yandi is relatively tense, there are still a large number of snow monsters in addition to the southward movement of ice and snow, and the imperial court's Shence Army needs to be stationed in the local area, and several surrounding states are in a state of tension.

The land of Bingzhou is now mainly responsible for the grain and grass planning of the Shence army, and this place is not a rich place, so most officials are reluctant to go, and because of the legend that the conditions are difficult, the brother-in-law did not bring his family at the beginning of his tenure, so the sister stayed in the Shendu.

Sedum observed her sister's improvement, found that she was in good shape, and she also seemed rich, after observing the qi vein, there was a faint breath of little life, and she immediately asked her sister happily, is she pregnant?

Hong Sleeve was very surprised at first, but then she shyly admitted that she was indeed two months pregnant, and she just found out some time ago.

"I said, old lady, you're too careless! I didn't even know that you were pregnant, how do you feel now?"

"Phew! This is the case at the beginning of pregnancy, there is no gap at all, and it will be felt after two months, if it weren't for the recent poor appetite and frequent vomiting, the doctor gave the pulse, who knew that there was a small thing in the stomach!"

Hong Sleeve is naturally not a careless person, but this pregnancy is also the first time in the world, where is there any experience to speak of?

"It seems like you have a lot of experience, but how did you know that I was pregnant? You kid haven't seen me for a long time, how can you still grow your ability, tell me, how do you know?" she stretched out her hand and habitually pulled Sedum's ear.

Sedum hurriedly dodged: "Don't pull it, don't pull it, I can look at it now, really, really, you are going to be a mother, why do you still like to do things so much." ”

"What's wrong with being a mother? The eldest sister is a mother, do you understand?" Hong Sleeve glanced at Sedum, she didn't believe that Sedum could look at it, but this younger brother has been eccentric since he was a child, except for the setbacks he encountered in repairing the line, he wanted to do other things, and there was really nothing he couldn't do.

Now when asked about Sedum, Sedum would tell her that he can cultivate now, because there is a big immortal master who gives him guidance and solves the biggest problem in his cultivation line.

Also, his current cultivation is not low, and he can walk sideways in the gods!

Hong Sleeve didn't believe Sedum's words, but she didn't want to hit her brother, but instead mentioned the incident to him again, what was the matter at that time?

Two years ago, I wrote to Sedum that the gods would have a competition for the selection of the Extreme Heaven Ding every five years, and those who won the qualification could enter the Extreme Heaven Ding Trial, and the winner of the trial could obtain the True Immortal Seal, which was the best treasure left by the True Immortal in this world.

Seeing that this five-year period seems to be approaching again, those who can enter the Extreme Heaven Ding Trial will be able to obtain great benefits even if they are not the final winners! If Sedum wants to solve his cultivation problem, it is better to find a way to enter this trial, maybe he ......

"That's all a lie! Don't believe it. Sedum interrupted his sister's words and said: "Who in the Great Jin Dynasty doesn't know that cultivating immortals is the first, which of the children of the family and the big families in this world don't want to let their fake children cultivate immortals, what is the purpose of the trial? This is the most fundamental problem." ”

"Then what do you mean by that?" asked Hong Sleeve.

"You see, first of all, there will be a selection in this trial, you just said, what is selection? Giving benefits in private is selection, the children of the family and the big families, that is not a lot of money, this hand, those people can make a lot of money!

Hong Sleeve frowned and thought about it, nodded and admitted: "It seems to be right." ”

"As for the winner of the trial, in fact, it has already been decided, whoever gives more at the beginning will naturally be the children of his family who will win, as for what true immortal seal, even if a talisman seal is used by a true immortal, how effective can it be?

"But it's the Immortal Master Pavilion that is holding this grand event!"

"There are more messy things in the Immortal Master Pavilion, I am not interested in them, and now that I have been able to cultivate, do I still care about any bullshit trials!" Sedum said proudly.

"You! You've been like this since you were a child, no one is convinced, you're not afraid of heaven and earth, you can't really do anything. Hong Sleeve knew that this younger brother was arrogant and was about to debate, but she couldn't talk about him at all, so she wanted to teach Sedum that she could only learn to be rude.

The two sisters and brothers were talking, and a girl came in to report to Hong Sleeve.

"Young grandma, Miss Nianci is here!"

Hong Sleeve's face was full of joy and said, "Ahh ”

Yahuan went down, and Sedum asked Hong Sleeve strangely: "Who? You are so happy, could it be your best friend?"

"What's a girlfriend?" Hong Sleeve asked in astonishment.

"It's a close friend in the boudoir, referred to as a girlfriend!" Sedum explained, feeling that this title between women in that world is very appropriate and natural to use.

"Girlfriends, yes, it's a close friend in the girlfriend, hehe, your title is very suitable for the situation, my sister likes it!"

At this time, a woman walked in by the personal maid who walked in across the threshold, but she suddenly saw the man Sedum there, and she was a little embarrassed, her face was a little red instantly, and she lowered her head slightly and turned sideways.

"Ahh

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, patted her head and said, "I almost forgot, this is my brother, I just came to Shendu for a few days, called Sedum, Sedum came over, and I saw Sister Nianci." ”

The old lady spoke, and Sedum couldn't help but give face, so he had to stand up straight and salute the place, but he didn't know what to call the other party?

That woman is not very old and looks much younger than herself, and she is really unwilling to call her sister, but if you want to call her sister?

The woman looked weak, her eyes were large, her head was lowered, and her neck was like jade, but it looked like a white swan!

At this moment, he bowed back to Sedum with his body sideways, and his voice sounded as pleasantly as the sound of a piano: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Dingnan who was half a poetry immortal,...... Nian Ci is polite here......!"

Sedum was immediately embarrassed, and the bandit number of half of the poem fairy was actually transmitted to the Shendu, and it seemed that he would inevitably make a fool of himself again in the Shendu, and he couldn't help but be very unhappy with the gift.

"You talk, you talk, I just have something to go out, so I won't disturb you two sisters to say some private words between girlfriends!" Sedum escaped in embarrassment after giving another salute.

"Sister Nianci, what half of a poem immortal? do you mean Sedum?" Hong Sleeve looked at the girl with wide eyes.

Nian Ci pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister, don't you know the name of your younger brother......!

"I don't know, tell me about it. ”
