Red Sand Wind Chapter 156 Locals
Quicksand swept through the steaming heat waves, spreading out with ripples, rolling up sand and dust all over the sky.
Danding City in the distance, in the cover of this fog, seems to be like a shadow, and it is not really visible.
The only clear outline is the wall that stretches east and west, standing abruptly above the red sand sea level, meeting the sky.
At such a distance, there is no end in sight!
As the distance approached, this thin line connecting the sand and the sky slowly became clear and magnificent.
After flying for an hour, he came closer.
Looking at the huge city wall in front of him, which was more than 100 zhang high and seemed to have towered into the clouds, Yan Ning suddenly felt a burst of amazement in his heart!
The surface of the dark city wall does not have a trace of mottling, but is faintly dark, smooth as a mirror.
With the naked eye, there is not even a trace of gaps, and traces of runes can be vaguely seen flashing, and bursts of coercion are coming, and the momentum is as majestic as a mountain!
This is actually a defense made of special materials and supplemented by formation patterns to build a stacked defense, the means are amazing, it is really breathtaking!
It is worthy of being the richest in Danzhou, and it is located at the forefront of resisting the invasion of monsters.
Such an unimaginable largesse simply refreshed Yan Ning's understanding of fortifications to the extreme. This is only a cursory glance, and the outermost structure you can see can imagine what an astonishing arrangement it will have in such a vast area, where there is almost no boundary.
"With this city wall alone, I'm afraid I can keep all the demon beasts below the fourth order out, right?" Yan Ning couldn't help muttering.
Such a height seems to make the sky seem a lot lower, unless it is those Jindan demons jumping into the air, it will be difficult to cross!
Just when he was still looking at the city wall alone and sighing in his heart, he heard Yue Ling'er's disapproving voice coming...
"Let's go, wood, it's nothing to look at. The one in the back is much higher than this! This thing has to be repaired every year, it is something that the alliance uses to make money, and it is just a façade! Let's go, let's go and see if 'Wen Xiang Zhai' is still there, Ling'er liked the pastries there the most when I was a child!"
I couldn't help but say, so I dragged Yan Ning to the city, it seems that this magnificent masterpiece is not as interesting as the pastries in her mouth, and you look like you are rare and strange, which makes Master Yue Da Dan feel a little lost..
"Ling'er, you say this is a façade, isn't it?!" Yan Ning was dragged by her towards the city, and looked back at the city wall, deeply suspicious.
"Of course! This is also for outsiders to see! If the demon beast attacks the city, it will also come from the side close to the True Dragon Mountain Range, the periphery of Danding City is hundreds of miles long, and the sand sea is circulating, and the strength is gone, how can you attack the city... Those people in the alliance are just pointing to this thing to make money, they have to repair it every year, and they can't do it if they don't hand over the spirit stones, and they don't practice magic weapons so diligently, cut!" Yue Ling'er's tone was a little resentful.
Yan Ning knew that this was probably because she didn't get any benefit from it...
So he wondered, "Why is that?
"It seems that I heard that this is a rule left over thousands of years ago, and after the war, it was not abolished, and it was said that it was better to prevent trouble, right? Anyway, it has been like this for many years, and I haven't seen anyone say anything, get used to it! If you are really curious, you can go to the other side to take a look, that is the real defense used to resist the attack of demon beasts, many marks are left on it, and no one has ever repaired it. I went to see it once when I was a child, and it was so scary that there were white bones all over the ground and claw marks on the walls! I went to see it once, and I still remember it vividly!" Yue Ling'er recalled.
Yan Ning was a little confused after hearing this, and he didn't understand why the Danzhou Alliance had to build fortifications in reverse?
Is it really to show the strength of Danzhou and deliberately make the façade brighter?
Or do you really want to make money, as Ling'er said?
As soon as he entered the city, he had not recovered from the shock, and he was immediately confused...
I don't understand it, so I don't bother to bother to care about these things, and at this time I am already in the middle of the crowd, and the noise is very!
The layout of Danding City, Yan Ning has already understood from the records.
Thirty-six passages, comprehensively staggered, the layout is like a reduced Danzhou terrain, all through the line.
The divided area, near the northern part of the True Dragon Mountains, is mainly functional. The assembly of the city guards, the preparation of the military, as well as various workshops and alliance headquarters, are located in this area.
The south side is prosperous with different types of shops, and the flow of people is continuous day and night, and the atmosphere is the most lively.
A large area on the east and west sides was divided into monks' dwellings.
Hundreds of families and sects under the alliance have bases here, with a huge size of thousands of acres, and the smallest can also build an attic of several acres. To be able to have such a place to settle in Danding City, where every inch of land is valuable, in the eyes of ordinary monks, it represents supreme glory, at least in the alliance, occupying a place, and having the right to share huge benefits.
Flights are forbidden in the city, but the roads are well connected and accessible. If you are in a hurry, you can also take the city's unique flying boat, the speed is comparable to the speed of the Zhuji monks, in this vast Danding City, how can it be considered enough.
When the scenes depicted in these materials were unfolded in front of his eyes, Yan Ning also felt vividly how large this giant city, whose reputation resounded throughout the entire Chisha Continent, was so grand!
"Ha! That's Zixuanfang, I'll tell you about the wood, the magic clothes inside are good-looking, but they're expensive! I used to have one, the curly-haired girl in the third room, I'm so envious that I'm going to cry, haha!"
"Hey, why is Jing Yuxuan still open? That fat shopkeeper is not a good person, and even the child Lingshi is cheated! Why hasn't he gone out of business yet, it's really unreasonable!"
"And the Fine Spinning Pavilion, the Golden Feather Building, oh yes, that's..."
Along the way, Yue Ling'er seemed very excited every time she encountered a familiar scene in her memory, chattering back to where she had picked up a bargain, where she had been deceived, or what kind of specialty was the most famous... Wait a minute.
The expressions are quite rich, and they can switch back and forth freely.
One moment of joy and cheers, and another moment of gritted teeth and hatred, every different expression will follow, telling a story of the past that she remembers deeply...
Yan Ning couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't bear to interrupt her interest.
In her heart, she finally found the 'Wenxiang Zhai' she was looking for, dozens of pastries, all of which were bought, which was considered to have fulfilled her childhood dream, and her expression looked extremely satisfied, and it seemed that she was more fascinated than winning the top of Doudan!
While stuffing the pastries into his mouth, completely ignoring the surprised eyes of passers-by, he also evaluated how it tasted, and at the same time did not forget to stuff a few in Yan Ning and Xiang Wu's mouth behind him.
As the name suggests, this is called having fun and sharing ....
I happily walked around all day, but I didn't buy a few things, but Yan Ning bought a lot of materials for the formation along the way.
When the sky was getting dark, Yue Ling'er remembered what was going on, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Wood, where are we going?"
"What do you say?" Yan Ning patted the storage bag on his waist very proudly, looking full of magnanimity.
Seeing that Yue Ling'er thought that this was Xie Dashao's possession, she said with a sad face: "Wood, the cost of this Danding City is not as good as other places, why don't we think of some other way?"
West??
It's a slum where scattered cultivators gather, don't think I don't know!
After setting up the spectrum all the way, I arrived in Danding City, can you choose this place for me to settle down??
What do you think!!
Ling'er, when will you be able to change your problem....
Yan Ning looked gloomy and depressed.
Resolutely said: "Either find a better inn, or rent a cave mansion, you choose!"
"Ah, you still want a good inn? After that month, thousands of spirit stones will be gone! Wood, why don't you change to a mid-range, it won't fall, believe me, I'm a local!!" Yue Ling'er wanted to fight again.
You are indeed a local, and maybe the most sinister person in the area!
Yan Ning felt a little tired...
didn't say anything more, just stared at her stunned, with an extremely resolute attitude!
Yue Ling'er knew very well that whenever her husband looked like this, what she said would not work, and after thinking about it for a while, her face was still struggling...
Finally, he gritted his teeth and shouted hatefully: "Xiang Wu!"
"Ah, miss, what's the matter?" replied the little girl, who watched it with relish, and was frightened.
Xindao: The matter between the two of you has nothing to do with me!
"What are you afraid of, today Miss Ben will take you to open your eyes and see what it means to be magnanimous!" Yue Ling'er seemed to be about to open up.
Yan Ning held back a smile and asked lightly, "Where are you going?"
"The most expensive!the best!'Bangbin Building!!'" Yue Ling'er gritted her teeth and said word by word.
Yan Ning flicked his sleeves, made a gesture of asking first, and said with a smile: "Ling'er, please lead the way first!"
"Humph!"
Yue Ling'er turned around in a dashing manner, leading the way with great momentum, but her mouth was soft and broken.....
.....
At the same time, the Yue family patriarch was in the cave house.
Yue Qingqi, the elder of the big house, looked at the brooding patriarch with a serious face, waiting for a reply.
After the tea time, I saw the patriarch of the Yue family, half-squinting his eyes, and said a little tiredly: "Qingqi, this matter, you have to nod your head! You have also seen what happened in the fifth room a few years ago, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it hurts your muscles and bones! Qinghe's attitude that day, you also know that although I am the patriarch, this kind of matter involving the private affairs of each room is really difficult to meddle in and decide. That girl is from their fifth room, Qinghe herself is short of people, and she doesn't have the idea of beating her, so we have no reason to come out!"
After speaking, the old man shook his head and sighed, looking powerless.
"Second uncle, of course I know! If it's an ordinary family member, forget it. But a few days ago, even Master Jin came with news, praising her, saying that this is the hope that our Yue family can rise! You say, can we let go? How old is that girl? This is only a few years, it is said that the realm of the alchemy master is about to be stabilized, Master Jin has always been known for his unique vision, and if we can say this, there must be a great basis, we can't miss it again!" Yue Qingqi said bitterly.
"Oh, has old Kim seen that girl?" asked the old man.
"I've seen it, and I said that I had learned from each other before this evaluation came!" Yue Qingqi nodded in affirmation.
"Hmm... If that's the case, it's really a pity to be outlanded! What is the origin of her companion, have you found out?" the old man asked with some emotion and a little worry.
"That's not true, the major forces asked around, and there was no match. He himself said that he was born in Sanxiu, so he really doesn't have any background, right?" Yue Qingqi said a little unconfidently.
"Scattered cultivation, he said that you will believe ??! such a casual cultivation, you go and find me another one!" The head of the Yue family almost laughed angrily.
After thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand a little impatiently and said: "Don't guess, she doesn't send the news back, let's just invite the two of them back to ask, although they have left the family, but come back to catch up on the old days, visit and visit the elders, this is finally reasonable, right? Qinghe's side I'll go and say, you can directly arrange for someone to post! Trivial matters, it's been delayed for so long and there is no decision!"
"With your words, Second Uncle, I can act well! Don't worry, I'll arrange someone to do it!" Yue Qinghe replied in the affirmative, and turned away with a happy face.
The head of the Yue family shook his head and sighed, he didn't know what he was sighing, he looked exhausted....
