Chapter 5 Helping the Wind and Rising to the Clouds Chapter Seventy-Three: Helping the Wind and Rising to the Clouds
More than 1,000 years ago, when the patriarch of the Thousand Peerless Sect Founding School traveled to the highest mountain in the Qingchuan Domain, he left a poem:
Thousands of feet soar to the sky, and help the wind to the clouds.
Since then, the highest mountain in the Qingchuan region has been called Mt. Cupio, and the name Fufeng Castle has come from this.
The legendary Mt. Cupola stands in the center of Fufeng City, and the entire Fufeng City is also centered on Mt. Cupola, spreading out in all directions.
Most cities have a pattern similar to the east rich in the west, the north and the south, but the pattern of Fufeng City is based on the foot of the cupola mountain as the dividing line, the upper city above the foot of the mountain, and the lower city below the foot of the mountain.
Standing dozens of miles away from a distance, Fufeng City is lined with high-rise buildings, stretching from thousands of zhang wide river all the way to the center, the closer to the city, the higher the buildings. It's very similar to Hong Kong Island in Zhou Ran's impression, but at least it is Hong Kong Island that has expanded hundreds of times, and maybe even more. The giant trees in the city that are bigger than a hill and the giant birds that fly by from time to time are absolutely not to be seen on Hong Kong Island.
The cupola, which was more than half embedded in the clouds, appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a huge shadow hanging over the lower city.
Fufeng City is the first city in the Qingchuan Domain, and almost all of the wealthy and wealthy families in the Qingchuan Domain live on that cupola mountain. The Situ family, known as the first family of the Qingchuan Domain, almost occupied the uppermost half of the cupola mountain.
As we got closer, the huge city began to grow more and more vibrant.
From the low-rise old buildings in the most marginal areas, to the dozens of high-rise buildings with increasingly glitzy colors, to the rows of skyscrapers, countless people shuttle through them, like ants in an ant nest, busy back and forth.
At noon, a flock of large red feather birds flew from the southeast.
People who have lived in Fufeng City for a long time can recognize at a glance that these red feather birds are fire eagles. With long legs and fiery feathers, and a wingspan of dozens of feet, this species is one of the heaviest cargo birds of prey.
People with an older eye can see that nine times out of ten, these dozens of fire eagles have just come out of their shells, and they have been captured and raised from the saline-alkali lake in the north of Lieyang Valley. Such ferocious birds are often wild and fierce, far from being comparable to the kind of stupid birds sold in the Spirit Bird Hall that have domesticated for generations and lost their ferocity.
It is almost a big family and a big force that is willing to spend a lot of money to use this kind of raptor, and the goods transported must be of great value, and only the wild birds of prey dare to fly at night, without fear of those alien birds and beasts that take advantage of the night to hunt. Even if a ruthless air bandit encounters such a cargo raptor, he must hide as far as he can, otherwise it may be a catastrophe.
The fire sculpture circled slightly in the lower city, and then plunged headlong into the southernmost of the four cloud climbing platforms in Fufeng City.
The platform is similar to that of a freight transfer station, and the four platforms that are lined up in all directions of Fufeng City can even form a huge circle when connected together.
The presence of this circle divides the lower city into two parts, the inner and the outer parts.
For the nobles who lived on Mount Cupola, Fufeng Castle was only divided into upper and lower castles. However, in the eyes of those who live in the lower city, there are three levels of Fufeng City: the upper city where the nobles live, the inner city where the rich live, and the outer city where the common people live.
Before the fire sculpture landed, the receiver who had been waiting for the Yuntai immediately asked the laborer to unload the cargo.
Only the fire eagles landed on the platform in the south, and a flock of white eagles flew in the east.
After the white eagle, there are black-feathered cranes, dodos, and cranes......
A flock of huge birds kept flying and flying away, and the four platforms barely stopped. And the non-stop operation of the cloud platform also continues to inject fresh vitality into Fufeng City.
The sun is about to set, and the night is slowly shrouded in the distance, and the platform is finally about to relax after a busy day.
I didn't receive a notice today, and there should be no cargo birds landing in the evening, and the laborers who have been busy all day pack up and get ready to get off work.
For most people who make a living at Ascend Tower, this is true today, tomorrow, and every day.
When their descendants grow up, they will most likely take over from them this job that is popular with people in the marginal areas, but is called a laborer by the nobles of the city.
The bell rang punctually, and it was time to get off work.
Unfortunately, two birds of prey from the west flew into Fufeng City just after nightfall.
It rarely happens, but when it does, someone has to come back.
Fufeng City does not have overtime or overtime, if you delay the time of the nobles, they will not reason with you, it is not that it has never happened to kill people directly, it is normal to beat people half to death on the spot, and the lightest thing is to let people roll up and get out of the way.
There is never a shortage of people in Dengyuntai, because there are too many people in the outer city who have reached the sixth grade of forging and want to seek a hard job.
The dispatcher immediately notified the two teams of laborers who had not had time to leave: "Chen Gong and Yang Gong will take your people to the Yuntai!"
Chen Gong and Yang Gong are two labor foremen, each with a team of ten manpower.
After receiving the notice, the two rushed over with their respective teams.
The two elephant eagles landed on the platform, and they arrived just in time.
However, when they saw that there were only a few people on the back of the elephant eagle, each carrying a large or small wooden or iron box and no other goods, the twenty or so people immediately had the urge to curse.
Chen Gong and Yang Gong are veteran workers for many years, and they are sent to I don't know how many people they have seen, and their eyes are very vicious.
Among the seven people who saw the two elephant eagles coming down from their backs, except for the two little ones who were tightly wrapped, they found that they couldn't see through the other five young people. The momentum of the four of them was extremely strong, and they almost immediately guessed that the four of them were nine times out of ten the strength of the Returning Yuan Realm.
There are many masters of the Guiyuan Realm in Fufeng City, but there are not many who are so young, and they often live in Shangcheng.
Chen Gong and the others looked at the person who was the leader again, and they only felt that this person's aura was extremely light, and compared with the four people, the momentum exuded from his body was not strong, so they couldn't guess the depth of this person for a while.
Seeing the seven people walking towards them, Chen Gong and Yang Gong motioned to the people behind them to stand neatly and lowered their heads one after another.
For these nobles who don't know the roots, they must be respected enough.
This is the basic common sense that countless laborers have exchanged their blood and even their lives for other laborers!
This group of seven people was Zhou Ran and others who came from Yuzhou City.
Dian pointed at Chen Gong and Yang Gong in shock, not polite but not domineering, he said, "You two come here." ”
The two did not dare to slack off, and immediately stepped forward.
Dian was shocked and threw a bronze identity tag and two amethyst cards to the two, and said, "These two elephant eagles are temporarily left here, and the two of you are in charge of taking care of them." ”
After saying that, Dian was shocked and threw over two more red crystal cards and said, "This is a reward." ”
Seeing that the reward was actually two red crystal cards, not only Chen Gong's eyes were hot, but the laborers behind them were even more excited.
The monthly salary of ordinary laborers is only two white crystal cards and twenty silver coins, and small leaders such as Chen Gong and Yang Gong can get fifty silver coins. On weekdays, you can also be rewarded with nobles who are generous, but they are often rewarded with a few silver coins, which is enough for a team of laborers to drink a drink, and they have never met a nobleman who rewards with a red crystal card.
Two red crystal cards are twenty gold coins, which are converted into two thousand silver coins. According to the old rules, Chen Gong and Yang Gong were divided into two, and the rest was divided equally, and each person could get eighty silver coins, which was half a year's salary.
After Chen Gong and Yang Gong received the reward, their attitudes were more respectful.
"Young Master, go this way!"
After explaining the sting, he led the way for Zhou Ran.
When he went out, several people called Zhou Ran the young master, not the city lord.
was called by the Ye brothers for a few days before, and Zhou Ran was not uncomfortable with this.
After the group walked out of the cloud platform, Dian Jingsheng took Yu Pingping and Nan Xiansheng to find the principal of the Dian family in Fufeng City, while Zhou Ran and Yan Heng took the two little guys to wander around the outer city.
At night, the outer city is brightly lit.
After walking past the skyscraper that blocked the cloud platform, Zhou Ran began to appreciate the life of this Fufeng City, and once gave him the illusion of returning to the original world.
At this time, Zhou Ran was standing at the intersection of a street.
In front of him was a crisscrossing highway with the same traffic congestion and even traffic signs at the intersections.
Zhou Ran didn't smell the exhaust fumes of the cars, thinking that these cars were burning a new energy.
The pedestrians on the road are dressed slightly differently, not mainly fancy, but mostly strong clothes that are convenient for combat. From time to time, there are also some young women or girls who are extremely scantily dressed, half-covering and half-covering, making the blood of people and beasts boil. And those mature women dressed in animal skins full of wildness and charm lead an ugly beast, and the strong visual impact is simply fatal to the chicks who have never tasted the taste of women.
Star-Lord stepped on his foot heavily and stared at Yan Heng, who was drooling from a woman, and said angrily: "Big man, wipe your saliva!"
Yan Heng didn't know that the beautiful girl found him and squinted her eyes and blew on him.
At this moment, Yan Heng directly had a nosebleed.
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, not only blowing two more breaths, but also scratching her head.
Yan Heng's eyes almost emitted green light, and he was about to explode in a few minutes.
The woman chuckled and turned away.
Yan Heng's nosebleed mixed with saliva on his face, as well as the look of estrus on his face, was still staring at the woman's back.
Star-Lord was so angry that he kept stepping on Yan Heng's big feet, but his little strength could scratch the rough-skinned guy at most, and it was useless. Kun Yu had quietly walked to the other side of Zhou Ran, as if he was afraid of letting people know that he knew Yan Heng.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The young woman disappeared for a long time before Yan Heng came back to his senses and laughed.
Zhou Ran's face was slightly red, because he had just glanced at it twice.
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Zhou Ran suppressed the charming thoughts in his heart.
He glanced at the sidewalks on either side of the highway and whispered, "It would be more like this without these pets that are too big." ”
Sidewalks are wider than roads, and that's so because nearly seven adults have pets with them.
Petite pets like cats and dogs generally stand on the shoulders of their owners, or are held in the arms of their owners, with a lazy expression. But most of them are giant pets that resemble ligos, or even wild elephants and rhinoceros.
The four of them went to several other streets, Yan Heng continued to stare at the woman in estrus, Kun Yu and Star-Lord were eating with bags of snacks, and Zhou Ran continued to observe this strange city.
In terms of prosperity alone, Fufeng City, which has the reputation of the first city in the Qingchuan region, can definitely throw off the eighteen streets of Yuzhou City, which hangs alone in the forest sea. After some observation, Zhou Ran's vigilance against this world relaxed a little.
Two months ago, Yuzhou City was still a place where thousands of peerless sects screened disciples, and the people who could be sent into the city were one out of a hundred, if not one out of ten thousand. Therefore, when Zhou Ran stepped into the city of Yuzhou, which had a population of less than one million and nearly 200,000 masters in the Grandmaster Realm, he would be so shocked in his heart, and he would be afraid of this strange world.
Not enough, in terms of masters, Fufeng City can't be compared with Yuzhou City at all.
Zhou Ran walked more than a dozen streets in a row, and the number of people he met was two or three thousand, but the masters of the three realms of the Grandmaster he met could count them on one hand, plus the more than 20 laborers on the cloud platform, all the people he saw who had reached the seventh grade of the forging body after coming to Fufeng City did not reach three digits together, and the strength of about ninety out of five people was below the seventh grade of the forging body.
However, this is only the outer city of Fufeng Castle.
What will happen in the inner city?
What about the situation on that cupola?
After walking a few more streets, Zhou Ran saw that it was almost the time agreed with the Warden Division, so he took Yan Heng and the three of them back to Dengyuntai.
