Chapter 637: Blue Emperor City
There is only one gate in Qingdi City, which makes the whole city look more like a big cage.
On the city wall, there are fragments of magic weapons, magic weapons and even immortal Buddha vessels that can no longer be used, and the intertwined brilliance makes the city wall solid, and it is locked under the ground.
At the gate to the east, fifty meters ahead, there is a huge cyan stone stele.
There is no word on the stele, only the blue light will last forever.
Everyone who passes by the stone tablet will be illuminated by the blue light, and if it is not human, or if it is a human demon who has undergone blood exchange and marrow, it will be distinguished and suppressed.
Passing through the tall city walls, and then going inside, there is an ordinary residential area, then a bustling commercial area, and the most center, and the place closest to the Qingtian Ancient Tree, is inhabited by the elite class in the Qingdi City.
"Come and take a look! The freshly unearthed immortal fragments from the No. 3 pit of the Heavenly Fall Cave! Don't miss it when you pass by..." ”
"The Buddha bone relics of Xitianling Mountain, what you buy is not a commodity, it is a peace of mind! As long as you wear the Buddha bone relics, your mother will no longer have to worry about going far away!"
···
All kinds of cries are intertwined with noise.
Chu He only needed to glance over to know that those so-called immortal weapon fragments could not even be called magic weapon fragments, but just some rude talisman residues that were worn out and broken into slag, perhaps barely being able to be called antiques.
And the so-called Lingshan Buddha bone relics, I don't know where to dig out some bones polished, there is no spirituality, it is completely a pit person.
When Chu He first arrived, his eyes were black, and he definitely couldn't get up.
Let's ask for some news first.
Anyway, the man behind the scenes who sent him to this world in the dark didn't issue him any tasks, so there was no need to worry.
Sightseeing tours from other worlds are also a very good experience.
Inquiring about the news is nothing more than restaurants, teahouses, Qinglou and other places, there are many people, and you can always hear what you want.
However, when Chu He walked all the way, he found that the customs, culture, and habits of this world are very different from the traditional Chinese cultural model.
It has some ancient Chinese atmosphere, but it is very different.
In short, it is the way people dress, the style of the surrounding buildings, the behavior, etc., are all different.
The characters are also different, although there are some similarities with Chinese characters, but they are different, and the analogies are more complex, as if they incorporate some other elements into them.
Therefore, there is no teahouse in Qingdi City, and the people here do not have the habit and hobby of drinking tea.
There are also taverns, and they seem to be one with the Qinglou, as long as it is a tavern, most of the waitresses in the tavern do some private work part-time.
The foyer of the tavern is the hall where people drink, talk, and watch cabaret performances.
The back hall is a small single room separated by a curtain, in which the bed is shaking, the high and low tones are rising and falling, and the most tragic battles and competitions are carried out, which is related to the dignity and face of a lifetime.
Such an unrefined pattern stems from the tight supply of real estate in Qingdi City, and the land area is seriously insufficient.
Even if there are ancient trees in the blue sky, crops can reach four crops a year, one in one season. However, after all, the area of the castle is limited, and after a certain amount of arable land has been retained, the area that can be used as a living area is quite limited.
Of course, you can also take the risk of cultivating land outside the city and cultivating food.
It's just that they will be threatened by demons at any time, except for those who really can't live in the city, and there is no way, otherwise anyone who still wants to survive will not choose to take this path.
Chu He sat in a corner of the tavern, drinking the bitter leaf wine unique to the Blue Emperor City.
Due to the high value of grain, basically no one would have the luxury of using grain to make wine, and even fruit wine is very rare. Because there are basically no fruit trees in the city, and picking wild fruits outside the city is also a big risk.
Therefore, as the name suggests, bitter leaf wine is brewed from the dead leaves that fall from the ancient trees in the blue sky in September and October every year.
The fallen leaves of the Qingtian ancient tree are edible, and although the taste is not very good, it can provide some basic nutrients needed for human survival.
The untouchables and even some civilians in Qingdi City basically live on the leaves of ancient trees collected in September and October.
The verdant young leaves of the Qingtian ancient tree have a strong vitality and are a good treasure. However, it is strictly forbidden to pick privately, and if it is discovered, it will be immediately expelled from the city, which is tantamount to death.
The yellowish leaves have no vitality at all, but the leaves are thick, wide, and edible, but there is always bitterness that penetrates deep into the senses and is difficult to remove.
When the bitter leaf wine entered his throat, Chu He immediately felt a bitterness that penetrated deep into the soul, accompanied by a hot and spicy liquor, rolling wantonly in the throat.
This wine... Chu He didn't know how to evaluate it.
It is indeed not a good wine, and among the wines that Chu He has drunk, this bitter leaf wine is enough to rank among the bottom three.
But its taste is mixed with an indescribable and unclear taste, and it is this taste that makes Chu He can't help but taste and consider it again and again.
After drinking two glasses of wine, the waitress who was dressed almost revealing most of her delicate body half-squatted and put two plates of side dishes and a pastry on the table in front of Chu He.
She is clearly tempting Chu He, and the invitation to fight is almost to the point of explicit.
It's a pity that Chu He is not interested at all.
Waving his hand to send the waitress away, Chu He picked up a piece of rough rice cake, put it in his mouth with some frowns and chewed it, and every bite could chew out the grit.
Looking around, everyone was eating happily, nothing unusual, obviously used to it.
After listening for a while, he felt that he wanted to know about everything, and the more in-depth news was obviously not something that could be collected by listening to it like this, and Chu He was about to settle the bill and leave.
At this time, he suddenly remembered.
He seems to... I don't even know what the hard currency here is.
Although in general, gold and silver, which are currencies, can be used to settle accounts everywhere you go.
But in this mutated world, whether gold and silver can still assume the function of currency, Chu He is a little skeptical.
After sweeping his eyes again, Chu He said in his heart: "Sure enough!"
The currency used by the drinkers to settle the bill turned out to be a round transparent resin sheet, with the rough appearance of an ancient tree tattooed on the outside, and a drop of gum flowing inside the transparent resin sheet.
Although everyone thought that Chu He was very undisciplined, he was not to the extent of eating an overlord meal.
So Chu He took out a demon suppression talisman with purple patterns on a yellow background.
This thing was purchased on a large scale after Chu He and Zhang Xuanliang were 'friendly negotiations' and then discounted by 5% at cost price. In Chu He's storage ring, there are still ten boxes, which are the inventory made by Longhu Mountain in the past five years.
"Waiter! Checkout!" Chu He lit up the demon suppression talisman in his hand, indicating that he would use this thing as a meal.
The purple light flowed, and almost in the next second, it attracted the attention of everyone in the entire tavern.
