Chapter 402: Humane Breath
Naknayang City is located on a gentle slope on the south bank of Naksu.
According to the experience of the flood control over the years, a city is built on a mountain, and the perimeter is a wall about one zhang high to resist floods, and then it is an ordinary residential area inside, and then it goes up layer by layer, and when it reaches the central area of the city, the height can be more than a few zhang higher than the outer wall.
Only in this way can this city really be safe. Even if the outer wall was broken by the flood one day, the people would still be able to climb the mountain to escape the flood.
Therefore, most of the cities in the great wilderness were built on the hillside high ground due to the situation.
Although the scale of Luonan Yangcheng is not large, it covers an area of hundreds of acres and tens of thousands of people. Now, the news of the birth of Luoshui Strange Treasure spread all over the Great Wilderness, and all the rangers of all races gathered here, looking for an opportunity, and for a time the population living in the city skyrocketed, reaching as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people. The sudden influx of immigrants instantly made the small city seem to flourish.
Although Yangcheng is small, and it looks like the houses are very simple, but it is better than safety, standing on the bank of the Luoshui River for hundreds of years has not been washed away once, especially in recent years, when the river has swelled and flooded, Yangcheng is still safe and sound, and its solidity can be seen.
Therefore, except for a few outlaws who were brave and not afraid of death camped on the banks of the Luoshui River outside the city, most of them chose to live in Yangcheng.
Ji Wenming and his party came slowly, passed through the narrow city gate, and after entering the city, they suddenly found that there were many people in this city, which could be described as sweating like rain, rubbing shoulders, and there were so many that they were dizzying.
Tu Shan tilted his nose, his face was heartless, and he said excitedly: "Oh, why are there so many people here? How can there be so many strange people? Ha, you see that those people look so interesting!"
In fact, not only Tu Shanyuan, but even Tu Shanjiao and Tu Shanying also have an eye-opening feeling.
I saw that on both sides of a street that was a few feet wide, densely packed with shops, including taverns, salt tea shops, weapon shops, equipment shops, flower shops, and animal meat shops...... Only the unexpected, there is nothing that cannot be seen.
The streets were full of people, shoulder to shoulder, and these people seemed to have long been accustomed to the scene of Yangcheng, so they were not too crowded to huddle together, but compared with the items in the store with great interest, picking fat and thin in front of the shopkeeper, trying to persuade the boss to be cheaper.
Ji Wenming looked at this populated city, and couldn't help but think of the Qingqiu Fox Country and the Black Iron City of the Demon Clan in Yuanxia that he had been to, and he suddenly had an illusion that this seemed to be the holy land for the future prosperity of the human race.
If the human race wants to prosper and stand out from the great wilderness races, what is needed is a densely populated city. In the city, humans can build walls, resist the invasion of monsters and floods, open markets, exchange goods, and exchange goods, which can minimize the loss within the human race......
The most important thing is that when countless people gather in a city, it will give people a sense of luck and prosperity, as long as the city has always existed in the world, then the people who walk in the wilderness to do business, adventure, and hunting can use this city as a campfire in the dark night, a beacon to guide the way.
It doesn't even have to be a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands, just look at the small Yangcheng in front of you, the population gathered on weekdays is only thousands, but once something happens, there will be nearly ten times the population gathered here in an instant, these people are exhaling into clouds in Yangcheng, sweating like rain, bringing incomparably strong popularity, and also bringing talents and needs for the development and growth of the city.
- No wonder throughout the ages, Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun have to build a big city of their own!
Ji Wenming's heart was thoughtful, before he simply thought that Yao Shun built the city just to show the momentum and glory of the imperial family, but now it seems that it is not so simple.
Tu Shanjiao saw that he was a little stunned, and couldn't help but smile and said: "There weren't so many people a few days ago, but I didn't expect that I hadn't come for a few days, and the number of people had nearly doubled!
Ji Wenming woke up from his meditation, nodded with a smile, and said, "It's very good here, let me see the opportunity for the human race to prosper, let's go, let's go into the city together!"
Yangcheng is not big, but it can really be said that although the sparrow is small, it is full of organs, Ji Wenming is like a Dongyi swordsman, carrying a fox Xinyue on his shoulder, surrounded by several big beauties, Shi Shiran plunged into the crowd, and began the Yangcheng Range Rover journey in the fingering and envy and jealousy of the people around him.
Tu Shanjiao introduced softly while leading the way: "This earth city is mainly divided into five areas: southeast, northwest, and middle, the core central area is the office and residence of the officials, and it is also the highest place in Yangcheng, where it is usually not open to the public, and only when the flood breaks out, or the demon beast attacks, will the people be allowed to take refuge." Among the remaining areas, the northern area is close to Luoshui, which is the area where the common people live, but the environment there is more dirty and messy, while the western area is where the army is gathered, in addition, there are also some warriors and monks who also live in the western area, they are the first echelon of forces to resist floods and monsters, and most of the people who live in the eastern area are craftsmen, and the southern area is the living area of the merchants, and our residence is in the southern area!"
Ji Wenming suddenly realized, it seems that there is really attention everywhere, and there is knowledge everywhere. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Don't rush back, let's go around the street, I always feel that this place gives me a resonance that seems to come from the depths of my soul, and it seems to be able to make up for some of my shortcomings in cultivation......"
Tu Shanjiao couldn't help but be surprised, she could be said to have watched Ji Wenming's cultivation become stronger step by step, when he was hunting Jiao, he couldn't even beat the evil Jiao raised by Tu Shan's family, but now, I'm afraid that dozens of Jiao will not be able to tear a corner of his clothes!
However, he actually said that he was about to break through again?
People really can't be compared!
In fact, Ji Wenming himself couldn't tell what that kind of resonance was like, he definitely didn't want to join in the fun, but so many people gathered together did make him feel a strong humane atmosphere!
- That's right, it's a strong humane atmosphere!
All along, in his impression, the Terrans were backward, weak, and at the bottom of the food chain in the Great Wilderness. But I didn't expect that in Yang City, the talents of various clans gathered together, which gave the city a kind of vitality in full swing.
There are countless hills like the foot of Yangcheng, there are countless in the Great Wilderness, and there are not thousands of cities like Yangcheng, but there are hundreds in the Great Wilderness, but like this thriving vitality in Yangcheng, there are absolutely countless and few, only in a certain area, the number of people exceeds 100,000, it is possible to form this unique qi, that is, to make Xi Wenming feel the breath of humanity and prosperity.
Hearing that my brother-in-law wanted to go shopping, the joy in the hearts of the women of the Tu Shan clan was beyond words.
Along the way, Tu Shanyuan drilled around in the crowd, tasted all kinds of delicacies, ran on the mountains in the water flying in the sky, and even the rat meat skewers hidden in the ground, he also tried a handful and ate a belly round.
The willow eyebrows of Tu Shan Sakura prefer all kinds of decorations, nails on the ears, dai on the eyebrows, red on the cheeks, and powder on the face, and they have bought a lot of them.
Only Tu Shanjiao has been following Xi Wenming, enjoying the rare world of two people, even in the crowd, there is only Xi Wenming in her eyes.
However, there was no half of him in Xi Wenming's eyes, not that he had no feelings for Tu Shanjiao, but that his attention was drawn by the strong and powerful humane atmosphere, all the way forward.
He was dressed in white, carrying a long sword at his waist, his eyes closed, feeling the essence of Yangcheng, letting Tu Shanjiao take his hand and walk in the streets and alleys, even Tu Shanyuan, who wanted to share the food with him, felt that this brother-in-law was a little wooden, and couldn't help but complain: "What a rare and lively market, so many people, I'm afraid I won't see it in my life anywhere else!" Sister, why did he suddenly fall into a state of being dumbfounded?"
"What do you know, eat your stuff!" Tu Shanjiao glared at her, and then turned around the market in Beicheng with Ji Wen's life.
After visiting the North District, he looked unsatisfied, so Tu Shanjiao took him to the East District, which is an area where craftsmen gather, and there are few poor people, but there are a few warrior monks, because there are only what they need here.
It is still a wide street, lined with rows of blacksmiths, casters, tailors, tanners, pharmacies, medical halls, and other shops. There are even grocery stores, but they don't sell the food and toys used by the people, but all kinds of rare treasures collected from the Great Wilderness, rock trunks, fur and spiritual plants, and you need a certain amount of discernment to distinguish these things, and ordinary people don't have this kind of background at all, only the warrior monks who break through the Great Wilderness know what is useful to themselves.
Walking to this street, Ji Wenming had a different feeling, although his eyes were closed, but his divine sense was released for dozens of zhang, and the chaotic and exuberant popularity was slightly reduced here, but then there was a kind of essence and strong aura, he couldn't identify the source and use of this aura, he could only secretly speculate, it was this aura that made him feel that it was very beneficial to himself.
Suddenly, I heard someone panic and say, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"
Everyone looked up, only to see a blacksmith shop not far away in the flames soaring more than three feet high, seeing that the house was about to burn down, there are many buildings here, one shop after another, and the people are dense, if it really catches fire, I am afraid the loss is not small!
At this moment, the meditative Ji Wenming was reminded by this person, his heart moved, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said: "That's right, it's fire! This is the fire of humanity!"
