Chapter 45: Liangzhou Ghost Town
Yongcheng, a small city in Liangzhou, although it has a long historical background, but the economy is not very developed, the biggest feature is that the scenery is good, there are both high mountains and flowing water, there are many trees, less wind and sand, and the population is just right.
Although there are mountains that are not too high, and some water that are not too deep...... However, in this part of Liangzhou, it can be regarded as a good place for retirement!
However, in the cultivation world, this is an unusual place.
After all, although the mortal realm and the cultivation realm live together under the same sky, the territory can't all coincide, right? There are still a lot of ancient ruins that have been preserved, as well as the nests of some guys in the cultivation world, all of which are covered by spells, and mortals don't know!
Yongcheng is such a special place.
As the capital city used by the Western Qin State when the princes were lined up three thousand years ago, Yongcheng still has a lot of confidence.
Moreover, this ancient city was also a famous place hundreds of years ago, and it was not until nearly 200 years ago that it gradually decayed into its current appearance.
When the current imperial court redivides the states of the world, Yongcheng is directly assessed as a third-level city, and the high is not low.
However, mortals do this, Fang Guiyuan's group of people don't agree.
Because according to the geographical division of the underworld, Yongcheng should be the "capital" of the entire Liangzhou, and the underworld will not change its territory division casually because of the changes in the mortal regime - after all, it will be changed in two or three hundred years, compared to the time difference between the mortal world and the underworld, if you really follow, the work of the underworld only needs to be laid on the demarcation of the territory!
And the city god who sits in Yongcheng is also respected as the "state city god", in charge of Liangzhou ghost affairs, is the top boss in other places in Liangzhou, and is also the largest underworld official in this state.
So if Xu Zhong is here, then he will have to report to Yongcheng Chenghuang.
Fang Guiyuan yawned, pedaled his bicycle, and entered the boundary of Yongcheng in the middle of the night.
This time, he didn't go directly into Yongcheng City, but went to its vast suburbs.
The urban construction of Yongcheng takes a small and fine route, and the city area is not very large, so as soon as you get out of the city, it is a large area of barren forests.
The terrain here in Yongcheng is not as rugged as Lancheng, and it is very gentle. Fang Guiyuan kept pedaling the wheels with the big moon above his head, his eyes were squinting and fighting, and he grinded out a wheel trace on the ground that had just grown grass buds all the way, and only then did he see the huge and magnificent ancient city that appeared in front of him.
As soon as Fang Guiyuan saw it, he came to his senses, put away his bicycle, and walked into the city.
I saw that the city was extremely tall, and just standing in front of it could feel a dark and terrifying aura. The city wall is engraved with the two big characters of "Yongcheng", the city gate is wide open, through the city gate, you can also see the bustling appearance inside.
This is not the city of Yongcheng in the mortal world, but a city that belongs to the underworld.
A real city that stands outside the human city, gathers a group of ghosts, and is guarded by the "State City God".
In the mortal world, ghost towns are actually not very common, after all, the laws of heaven are there, and people and ghosts can't live together.
However, because of the large number of ghosts produced in the mortal world, and the underworld also has its own aborigines, they can't let them grab a place with them in the underworld if they die, not to mention that now I heard that the underworld is overpopulated, and many ghosts have been forced to move to the ghost city in the mortal world......
The reincarnation of ghosts takes time, and you can't be reincarnated as a new person with braids, so those ghosts can only wait for the opportunity to come by themselves......
Moreover, it takes time for underworld officials such as Chenghuang to deal with the affairs of ghosts and dead people, and the ghosts under their hands are piled up with the passage of time, so there are too many. So slowly, ghost towns like Yongcheng appeared.
There are a total of sixteen ghost cities in the world, which are located in the sixteen large states of Yanlong Country, and become the capital of it.
Fang Guiyuan first rubbed his face, and then stepped into Yongcheng.
It turned out to be blocked by an invisible force.
"Didi, please swipe your card to enter the city. The familiar sound of an alarm sounded.
"......" swipe - card ——??!
Why do you have to swipe your card when you enter the city? Is it a ghost town or a human base that you want to go to? What are you going to do when you are suddenly so advanced?
Fang Guiyuan looked confused.
Could it be that when he didn't know it, the underworld had reached a new stage?
But the primary problem now is not this, but ...... Fang Guiyuan doesn't have that kind of card!
How can you get in without a card?
Fang Guiyuan came here to meet old friends, and he didn't come to cause trouble!
There was no way to think about it, Fang Daochang had no choice but to squat on the ground and lament - now that the ghost towns are so developed, why didn't Xu Chong say a word to him!
Just as he was depressed, Fang Guiyuan suddenly heard a commotion in the city, followed by the sound of horses' hooves jumping on the ground quickly, and Fang Guiyuan felt the vibration even if he was far away......
Fang Guiyuan looked into the city curiously.
I saw that the originally lively and haunted road had been separated, and the ghosts on both sides kept looking at the inner places with their heads propped up, and the posture was similar to the ordinary people looking forward to the arrival of the country's leaders.
"Da-da-"
The sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and the sound of rolling wheels began to appear and increased, and finally after a few clicks, a copper carriage pulled by two horses appeared in front of Fang Guiyuan.
A middle-aged man wearing a python robe and a jade belt around his waist got down from the carriage, he was extremely powerful and tall, and the momentum of a person in high position attracted the attention of the surrounding ghosts.
The man got out of the frame, took a big stride next to Fang Guiyuan, and gave him a bear hug, "Haha, long time no see, old friend!"
Fang Guiyuan pushed him away with a look of disgust, "If you're excited, you're excited, what are you doing!"
"Haha, isn't it exciting to reunite after a long absence!" The man patted Fang Guiyuan's shoulder and said with a heroic smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to my house to sit down, you're a rare guy!"
"But I don't have that card of yours......" Fang Guiyuan helplessly spread his hands.
"What's wrong with this, won't it be okay if I bring you in?" The man tugged at Fang Guiyuan's arm indifferently.
Because of the height difference, Fang Daochang was basically carried in by him......
Fang Guiyuan: "...... It's really fine. "The alarm really didn't go off this time.
Huang Yi took Fang Guiyuan into the carriage, and galloped all the way to the mansion of Zhou Chenghuang, leaving only the ghosts on the road to marvel.
That's a state city god, it's not usually a hell of a ghost! Why did you suddenly go out in person tonight and pick up a Taoist priest to come in?
So let's first explain the relationship between Fang Guiyuan and Huang Yi -
Huang Yi, Fang Guiyuan's comrade-in-arms before he cultivated the Tao, went through a hundred battles during his lifetime, and was also a famous general, and finally died in the Liangzhou area due to the chaos of the world.
However, because of work, Huang Yi can't leave his territory casually, so if you calculate carefully, you and Fang Guiyuan really haven't seen each other for two hundred years.
Can he not get excited?!
Huang Yi took Fang Guiyuan all the way back to his mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he ordered his subordinate ghost servants to prepare good meals and let him entertain guests.
"You're a big place...... It's about the size of the Imperial Palace. Fang Guiyuan looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at such a comparison, Xu Chong's Chenghuang Mansion has been compared to the house where the landowner lives in the countryside, can you not sigh!
And Huang Yi also said that she should prepare good food...... You must know that working in the underworld, this kind of thing has to be exchanged for wages!
It seems that Huang Yi's city god is very good!
