Chapter 613: There is a harvest in the city
Compared to the city that never sleeps, Xuanmu City is much more casual. Or it can't be said that the city that never sleeps belongs to the well-designed neatness, while the Xuanmu City belongs to the closer and more natural. As for what it means to be close to nature, it is that although the houses here are not uniformly arranged, they do not look cluttered. Just like a lawn, although each grass has different shapes and heights, they do not look chaotic when they come together.
The whole of Xuanmu City is reminiscent of two words, one is to adapt to local conditions, and the other is to use local materials. Relying on tall and stout trees, some of the houses in the city are built on trees, while others have their trunks hollowed out. Either way, the entire house is built entirely of wood.
The houses on the trees rise little by little as the trees grow, so they are called the castles in the sky that are constantly growing. And the houses built by hollowing out trees, the trees themselves are not called dead wood because of the gathering of wood attribute aura, and they are still growing slowly. As the trees grow slowly, the houses in the trunks grow larger, so they are nicknamed the houses that grow on the ground.
From the previous conversation with Lin Lan and the others, Xu Chenglin and the others already knew the general situation of Xuanmu City. But when they saw the true appearance of Xuanmu City, they still couldn't help but be amazed.
"It's an interesting arrangement, the house is staggered, it looks messy but there is a sense of harmony. And I think this arrangement seems to save a lot of building space. ”
Looking at the buildings on the edge of Xuanmu City, Ximen Feng couldn't help but smile and said.
"You reminded me that if you made all the buildings in the shape of towers, wouldn't it save more space?"
Chen Moheng nodded slightly, then pinched his chin and asked everyone a question.
The answer to this question is, of course, yes, and everyone foresees that situation with a little thought in their minds. It's just that Wang Xiaoan thought about it, and suddenly laughed. Everyone was curious about why this guy was laughing, so they saw him shake his head and say.
"The house built on the tree is like a birdcage, and the house built in the trunk is a rat hole. If you see that all the houses are built in the shape of tall towers, do you think you want rat holes or birdcages?"
This made everyone stunned, but they couldn't help but shake their heads after a little thought. If the house is really built like that, I really can't say what it looks like, maybe the upper floor looks like a birdcage, and the lower one looks like a rat hole. If you look at it as a whole, it's more like a nest of a swarm of ants.
Ximen Feng shook his head lightly, putting aside this boring topic.
"Maybe the houses of later generations will really be like that, but they were forced to do so at that time. ”
Ximen Feng just said it casually, wanting to end this topic, but at this time, Xu Chenglin became interested.
"Boss, what do you mean they have to do it?"
Hearing Xu Chenglin's words, Ximen Feng didn't want to answer. But when he saw that the rest of the people were also looking at him with curious eyes, he just shook his head and replied with a wry smile.
"If you think about it, people are building in the shape of towers, and that means that there is not much land left for human beings. What is the situation that can lead to the lack of land that can be used, such as floods and tsunamis, all kinds of wild beasts and spirits, the number of humans is uncontrollable, and there are other conditions in most of the land. ”
Ximen Feng's words made everyone think about it, and there are really many reasons that will lead to sudden changes in architectural style. And the reasons he mentioned, either of which will make human beings have to change the style of architecture. And several of the reasons he said are extremely easy to appear.
Seeing that all his companions were in a reverie, Ximen Feng couldn't help but shake his head, he felt that he shouldn't say anything.
"Okay, we've been here for a long time, so we'll talk as we go. ”
Ximen Feng's words successfully made several people out of reverie. The group nodded and continued to walk towards Xuanmu City.
How big Xuanmu City is, Xu Chenglin and the others don't know. But as far as the eye can see, the buildings that extend out of the periphery look no less than those from the city that never sleeps. It's just that compared to the population density of the city that never sleeps, Xuanmu City is smaller. Of course, this is only what is seen from the periphery. As for the situation in the center of Xuanmu City, they were blinded.
"Fellow Daoist, do you want to see the specialties of our Xuanmu City!"
As soon as he entered the periphery of Xuanmu City, Wang Xiaoan was stopped by a demon monk who was a philistine.
Wang Xiao'an was a little stunned for a while when he saw that this demon clan monk was so enthusiastic. Obviously, the monks outside Xuanmu City are all on guard, why is the situation abnormal when they come to this city. Judging from the news I got earlier, the assassination of this Xuanmu City should not be over yet, why are the monks here not afraid of people.
The demon clan monk who grabbed Wang Xiaoan was also thoughtful, and he guessed what Wang Xiaoan was thinking in an instant. He smiled mysteriously and whispered to Wang Xiaoan.
"I saw that Daoyou had come from another city, and I also listened to what the guards outside the city said. ”
Wang Xiaoan blinked, looked at him curiously, and the meaning conveyed in his eyes seemed to ask again, could it be that what they said was not true?
"Don't get me wrong, the situation is that situation, but this situation only happens between people with some identities in Xuanmu City. As for those of us who make a living by reselling things, people don't bother to do anything to us. Besides, killing people without a purpose in Xuanmu City is too scared, isn't it?"
What this demon clan monk said was indeed reasonable, if the Shadow Sect monk killed people indiscriminately, it would be too levelless. To put it mildly, if you kill people indiscriminately in Xuanmu City, it is actually very easy to do. If the Shadow Sect did this, they would not be cult cultivators, but enemies of the whole people.
was originally pulled by someone, Wang Xiaoan didn't want to pay attention to the other party. But when he saw that the man had said something that interested him, he had an idea.
"Come on, come on, let me see what kind of specialty of Xuanmu City you have here?"
When several companions heard what he said, they couldn't help but stop, and they were also curious to approach the demon clan monk who was selling special products. said that this person was a demon monk, but in fact, he was somewhat promoted, this person looked not young, but his cultivation was only about three layers of forging body. It's actually more appropriate to call this guy a peddler.
I saw that the vendor led Xu Chenglin and the others to a tree house, and walked in with a slight push of the door. Everyone looked at each other, and followed with a chuckle. They were curious about what kind of specialty Xuanmu City could have for this guy who was not in the tempering period.
As soon as they entered the treehouse, a faint smell of strange fragrance entered the noses of several people. Xu Chenglin and the others smelled this strange fragrance and hurriedly held their breath. But Chen Luoxue shook her head lightly, smiled and waved her hand to everyone, indicating that this fragrance was not strange and harmful.
Receiving Chen Luoxue's signal, everyone let down their guard. Xu Chenglin leaned into Chen Luoxue's ear and asked in a low voice.
"I've heard that the more strange the scent, the more likely it is to be dangerous, I wonder how you can tell if the aroma is not harmful?"
Chen Luoxue smiled lightly and did not answer, but stretched out her hand and pointed to a corner of the treehouse.
Xu Chenglin and the others looked in the direction that Chen Luoxue was pointing, and when they saw it, they saw a bunch of miscellaneous things. However, everyone's eyes were still extraordinary, and in a few breaths, they took out a palm-sized transparent jade from the pair of miscellaneous objects. But what this thing is, several people don't know.
"A few ......"
Seeing Xu Chenglin and them stop near the door, the demon clan vendor couldn't help but call softly.
Xu Chenglin and the others hurriedly reacted and nodded at him with a smile. Years of experience have taught them that if they fancy something, don't make a noise, otherwise they will end up being beaten into a fat sheep. Therefore, they knew that the jade that was slapped was a treasure, but they still looked elsewhere.
"Everyone, come and see our specialties in Xuanmu City!"
As he spoke, the demon vendor came to a large wooden table, and a bunch of things appeared on the wooden table.
Looking at the things piled up on the wooden table, Xu Chenglin and the others couldn't help but be a little curious. They thought that most of these things were things used by some cultivators in the Tempering Period, but they didn't expect that most of them were things that could only be used in the Condensation Period.
Xu Chenglin looked the vendor up and down and said to him with a smile.
"Yes, I've got a lot of good stuff. ”
The peddler laughed, but there was no smugness.
"Where, if there is no real material, how dare you easily entertain foreign guests. ”
Nodding slightly, Xu Chenglin looked at the pile of things on the wooden table. It's just that at this time, Chen Luoxue pinched a jade slip and shook it a few times in front of his eyes.
"Guess what it is?"
Chen Luoxue smiled lightly, looking at the meaning, Xu Chenglin should know.
Looking at the dark green color of the jade slips, and the rest of the jade slips on the wooden table were not this color, Xu Chenglin's eyes flashed suddenly. He had seen this color jade slip before, and it was the method of summoning the tree man given by Lin Lan.
"Could this be a spell that summons the Treants?"
Xu Chenglin smiled and asked Chen Luoxue.
"That's smart!"
Nodding slightly, Chen Luoxue gave the exact answer.
"It's really this, it turns out that this thing is so worthless. ”
Xu Chenglin shrugged his shoulders a little speechlessly, he suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. But thinking about it randomly, they didn't seem to have been deceived, and people didn't say that this thing was very precious, and in the end, Lin Lan felt that he didn't want to go and gave them a token.
It can be said that something that can be made as a specialty is valuable, but it can also be said that it is not valuable. It's valuable because it's not available elsewhere, but it's not valuable because the specialty will definitely be spread.
Spells were sold as specialty, and this was the first time Xu Chenglin had seen it. But then he picked up a jade slip, which surprised and delighted him.
"Insect taming, this thing is also a specialty of Xuanmu City, this is interesting!"
Throwing the jade slip in his hand, Xu Chenglin decided to ask for this piece of jade slip. As for the rest, he glanced at it and was not interested. The rest of the people did the same, and when they looked at it, they lost interest.
