Chapter 8: Entering the City
Ou Yuancheng belongs to the fifth-level city of Fuhui Province, the whole province includes one third-level city (provincial capital), three fourth-level cities, and the remaining six fifth-level cities, one of which is Ou Yuancheng.
The Xiuzhen civilization of the Qiyuan Continent is built on the use of the Yuanli spar, and the formed Yuanli spar is now only obtained at the highest level of the sixth-level spar, using the spar energy source to establish a defensive array and establish cities at all levels, due to the limited energy supply at all levels in the spar, the fifth level can set up a city-sized defensive array, the city wall covers a range of 800 square kilometers, covering nearly 10,000 square kilometers around the perimeter, and has eighteen small towns and thousands of villages under its jurisdiction, but there is no global defense array except for the city. One is that there are no extra resources, and the construction of a fifth-level city requires at least fifty years of sufficient resource supply, except that there are no local forces in the country to succeed, and the other is time, security construction for fifty years can only be protected by the army, because the average concentration of Yuan Force in the continent is very high, which makes it easy for humans to cultivate, but it also leads to the appearance of ordinary demons, and a large number of demon clans appear, with the convergence of Yuan Force points, there will also be demon disasters, and once the demon disasters appear, they can only be resisted by defensive arrays.
Small demon disasters occur once every ten years on average, medium ones are fifty years, and large ones are three hundred years, every time they appear, it is a disaster, medium-sized ones can destroy the country, and large-scale demon disasters appear, and all the nearby immortal cultivation sects will close the mountain to avoid except for the top three major sects in the mainland.
Sects, countries, and cities, just like this, are controlled one level at a time, only to the city, there are too many natural disasters, and there is no defensive array at the city level that will be eliminated at any time. Hundreds of villages disappear every year, and a small town disappears every ten years. Of course, the power of human beings is also strengthening, every year there will be powerful cultivators who go out to establish their own villages or towns, and the government also encourages this, the city can't manage the town, and all the subordinates will recognize your sphere of influence as long as they can pay taxes, but high-level resources are all flowing to the city, and high-level cultivators will only appear in the city, and those who go out are those who have lost the power struggle or are nearing the end of their lives, and they want to leave their bloodline.
This is a world that only recognizes strength, and has not yet formed a complete dominance, perhaps it will only appear after the end of the war and unification of the three major immortal cultivation sects, and the war also represents the rapid development of technology, in the past hundred years, the use of a number of sixth-level Yuan Force Crystals made of simple city defense arrays has also been continuously implemented, otherwise there will be no small towns, which greatly enhances the strength of human beings.
Along the riverside sand road, Wang Hui soon approached the district Yuancheng waterway wharf, outside the city is generally forbidden to build houses for safety, so you can see a long queue of people to enter the city from a long distance, people from all over the city have to line up to enter the city, in order to save the loss of Yuanli spar, usually except for the important locations in the city and the four gates in and out of the city, will not open the formation.
The city gate will have a special retrieval array to retrieve the Yuan Force card and body.
The Yuan Force card is equivalent to the road guide, simple to make, and it only contains two items of avatar description and blood verification, and the first-level Yuan Force input can be used to practice qi, but it can only be opened with the original blood production, and the avatar information contained in it is displayed after opening.
The opening of the city gate is also to prevent the demon clan from infiltrating, and the retrieval array is mainly to retrieve whether the people in the array are demons. Of course, you can't prevent people with hearts, the city wall and the sky, and the underground can sneak in, but there is no identity card in this way, and everyone who passes through the city gate will get a simple identity card, stipulating the time you can stay in the city, so all cities have a martial law period at noon, and each city will open the city-wide search array at noon, retrieving all the creatures without identity cards, and once there is a suspicion, there will be a large number of city defense teams to arrest them. These are all things that the second brother said when he came to visit his parents in the village before, if he came with his parents before, of course the second brother would help with the identity card in the city, after all, he is also the captain, and the entire district Yuancheng city defense team has a total of four corps, responsible for four directions, and each is divided into eight brigades to manage the shards, and the captain has some rights.
Slowly looking at the crowd entering the city, the sun has already set, the city head is lit up with a lighting array, the place of Ou Yuancheng is good, it belongs to the junction of the three countries, on the trade and traffic arteries, there is also the establishment of Ou Yuancheng, but it also restricts the growth of the period, if you go up four levels, it is estimated that it will be attacked by the two nearby countries, after all, it is easy to recruit more high-level cultivators when the city is big, and it can also expand the sphere of influence to the danger of the two countries, now the fifth level is just right, it can only be regarded as a trade transit station, and a large number of caravans with goods pass through the district Yuancheng to Fuhui Province, the capital city of the third level Fuxian Cityγ
None of the above means anything to me now, I need to enter the city as soon as possible, although because of trade, Ou Yuancheng closes late every day, but it is also fast.
The fastest way is to report my second brother's name directly, but this will ruin my future plans, once my second brother knows the information, he will definitely come to arrest me and go back, so I will probably be locked up at home in the future, especially since I used to sneak away.
The second way is to blend in, but without an identity tag, it will be sad tomorrow at noon.
"Well, I don't think bribery will work, I don't have any money. "I feel sad that I have no money when I am away from home.
"By the way, I have medicinal herbs, although I originally planned to go to the city and sell them again, but now I can't help it. I looked at the bag of herbs I was carrying.
There were almost a thousand people gathered outside the city, and the caravan queue was decreasing, and most of them looked at the wrong time, planning to go back to the dock and rest on the boat, and enter the city again tomorrow morning. If you approach the gate within 300 meters of the gate for no reason, you will be attacked.
Wang Hui ran up to the back of the caravan and observed for a long time, and now there were about 200 people in front of him, divided into three caravans, one team accounted for nearly half of the number of people transporting iron ore, and a large group of guards surrounded the ore truck, which was going in. The other two caravans were small caravans, and the second team was a carriage and a wagon, and the wagons were all covered with canvas, and there was no cargo to be seen, only the piles of high, and the tire marks on the road below were very deep.
There was even less of a third group in front of me, looking at the two of them, a total of one wagon, with an old man in front of him controlling two horse-drawn carriages, and in the open carriage there were three wooden boxes, and a man with a head and a robe sleeping on the boxes.
"It doesn't look like a caravan, but after I looked at the third team, I thought it was from a nearby village that came to catch the market. "I thought that the third team could make a connection, the first team was too strong, the second team was too mysterious, and the third team was just right.
"Hey, can you go in and take me with me. Wang Hui walked around the car and said to the old man driving in front of him, after all, the one in the carriage couldn't see clearly, and only the old man looked good.
"Where did the child come from, go back quickly, and wait for your adult to take you in. "The old man kindly asked me to wait for my parents to go in, probably thinking that he had sneaked over from the dock.
"Uncle, I'm from Yutian Town, I'll go into the city alone, see that your car is quite empty, take me a ride. β
I compared the name of a nearby town to the old man, and of course it also showed my four-level Qi cultivation.
Maybe it's because I'm stronger, or maybe it's because I'm young, and the old man confiscated my medicinal materials and let me take a ride.
Waiting for the front to enter the city, sitting in the front passenger seat, chatting with the old man casually, sleeping in the back turned out to be his grandson, they were originally people from Ou Yuancheng, and now they are transporting some daily necessities out of the city to this dock every morning, giving some merchant ships that need to be replenished, you can earn a little difference in the middle, you have to be busy from morning to night, and every time you are in a hurry to go back to the city at the closed time.
Next, the entry into the city is very smooth, there is a common local old man description, the gatekeeper immediately believed that I was a member of the nearby town, although I looked too small, but the practice of qi cultivation made them think that I was the son of a big family who stole away, not only the entrance fee confiscated me, after retrieving that I was not a demon clan, I was given a one-week identity card, and more than a week to go to the city lord's mansion to handle.
"It seems that after entering the city, the first thing to consider is the issue of the extension of the next identity card. β
Following the thick stone road, I sat in a horse-drawn carriage and drove into the city gate, looking at the streets of Ou Yuancheng in the hazy night.
Later, the gatekeepers began to close the city gate, pull the door bolt, open the detection array in front of the city gate, close the retrieval array, and call the underground pre-buried mine array to prevent people from approaching the city gate at night.
