Jinmen Port City, located in the northeast of the eastern plain of Huazhou Continent, the lower reaches of the Luohe River Basin, the East China Sea in the east, the boundary of the two states in the north Kunyun Mountain, and the Hualu College in the west of the top ten colleges, is the confluence and estuary of the Luohe River, Qinghai River and Yong Canal, known as the "river and sea rush".

Jinmen Port City, the largest port city in the north of Luohua Prefecture and the closest city to North Huazhou, is located at the junction of the two states, making the trade here extremely prosperous.

Since he learned that the captive team of Haicheng County was led by Ye Fengchen, there was no threat of the destruction of the entire army at this time.

Yang Qingcheng saw that the biggest threat to this return trip was lifted, so he asked Zhao Yun to take the six children back to Haicheng and return them to his parents, and at the same time asked him to return to the mountain to practice after sending the children back.

He himself took a passenger ferry from Yuanqiao Xianshan to the port of Jinmen City, and went north with the passenger ship. One is to explore the details of the "Holy Sect", the second is to rescue the children of the Yang family, and the third is to travel the world and search for some spiritual treasures.

The Holy Cult, this is the true name of that mysterious organization, and the Sharo Society is only its peripheral organization.

After several days of travel, the passenger ship "Beiluo" finally sailed into the port area of Jinmen Port City.

With the arrival of the passenger ship, Yang Qingcheng also flocked to the deck railing with the tourists on board, looking at the slowly approaching port and the noisy crowd on the shore, and the entire dock area was a busy scene.

The wharf area is one of the eight districts of Jinmen Port City, with an area of less than 20 square kilometers, which is the smallest area among the eight districts.

Although the area is small, there are more than 100,000 permanent residents, plus nearly 200,000 migrants working in the area during the day. This equates to at least 10 people moving on every square meter of land. This shows how crowded this pier must be.

The evil consequence of the lack of land and the large number of people is the poor living environment, except for the surrounding buildings, which are shanty towns.

In this area, most of the houses are high-rise buildings surrounded by each other, just like the Hakka houses on the earth, which are also called walled buildings here.

There are three kinds of stone enclosure, earth enclosure and brick and wood enclosure, of course, in the construction process, it is not just a kind of building material, but a certain building material, so it is called.

Among them, the best is the stone fence, the worst is the earth fence, and the most exquisite and beautiful is the brick and wood fence, but no matter which one it is, the lowest is also a three-layer structure.

These houses range in size to size. The small ones are 50 or 60 square meters, with only three bays, and the large ones are more than 1,000 square meters or even tens of thousands of square meters. Its shape is also differentiated, there are round and square shapes.

Circular means that the outer wall is arc-shaped, and the inner wall is square, like a copper coin, and the square means that its plane layout is in the shape of "Hui". Most of the buildings in the port dock area are mainly square.

The walled buildings are basically a large-scale family settlement pattern integrating the five functions of home, fort, ancestral hall, inner courtyard and gate.

Originally located at the junction of the two countries, Jinmen Port City was often threatened by military disasters, and the local residents, especially the local wealthy families and big families, were unable to move to their homeland, and in order to avoid the war, they built this kind of tall and sturdy, peculiar structure, and complete functions. It integrates halls, living rooms, study rooms, and playgrounds, with fire prevention, attack prevention, and explosion prevention, as well as granaries, wells, sewage pipes, etc.

This kind of walled tower, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is not only a comfortable residence for the people of Jinmen, but also a strong fortress in times of war, so it was built by families at that time.

Even though it is now a federal state, it is collectively called the Chinese and unified as the Chinese state. But this ancient architecture still lives on in this developing city.

As for shantytowns, everyone understands that they are slums.

.......................................

When the passenger ferry arrived at the port, Yang Qingcheng also walked towards the central area of the city with the flow of people.

In the past ten years, Jinmen Port City has developed rapidly, from a small port town with only three districts to the largest city in the northern part of the Eastern Plain.

The city is more than twice as large as before.

At this time, the city center area, the wharf area and the Luohe district are all old towns, and the new five districts of Binhai District, Jinnan District, Yongqing District, Ninghai District and Beigang District are much larger than the old three districts.

Yang Qingcheng walked on the road leading to the central area, and there were many horse-drawn carriages and rickshaw masters who solicited customers.

"This young master, where are you going, do you need me to send you over?" After a while, several groups of people came in front of Yang Qingcheng to inquire.

"Go to the Five Elements Pavilion. Yang Qingcheng found a pleasing one, asked the price, said an address to the carriage master, and got into the carriage.

"Deler, young master, please do a good job, let's go. The carriage master waved his rattan whip and drove the carriage forward.

After the end of the war, the country entered a new era of federation, and the contradictions between the government and the sect became slightly more prominent.

On the one hand, the government is co-opting the small factions of the side sects, and on the other hand, it is afraid of the prestige of the big sects and constantly suppresses them.

According to the regulations of the Beihua Emperor and the sects at the time of the founding of the country, the place where the registered sect is located belongs to the sect, and the authority of the sect is limited to the mountain. The towns and population under the mountain are attributed to the government, and the authority is attributed to the state.

Therefore, if the sect wants to set up a base at the foot of the mountain, it can only go through the relevant procedures and certifications according to the rules.

For example, the Five Elements Sect is to handle the martial arts hall as the base of the sect in Jinmen Port City.

Along the way, Yang Qingcheng looked at the scenery and people in Jinmen City along the way from time to time.

It didn't take long for the carriage to arrive in front of the Five Elements Pavilion.

The Five Elements Pavilion was also renovated from a walled building. This building covers a large area, with tens of thousands of square meters. It is located in the north of the central area, on the south bank of the Luohe River, across the river from the Beigang District.

Yang Qingcheng got out of the car, and suddenly felt that the air was exceptionally fresh, the breeze was blowing, there was no fishy smell like the sea breeze, and the moist breath brought by the river water was even cooler.

In front of the Five Elements Pavilion, there were two people on duty at the gate, these two people were dressed in white power suits, clean and neat, seeing Yang Qingcheng walking slowly, he stepped forward to stop him: "Stop, what is the matter with the layman coming to my Five Elements Pavilion, there can be an invitation post or a VIP card (equivalent to super VIP)." ”

Why do you call Yang Qingcheng a layman?

It's also strange that Yang Qingcheng is dressed up now.

At this time, Yang Qingcheng was dressed in a cyan robe, holding a rosary in his left hand, taking a step to pluck a bead, not in a hurry, with a slight smile on his face, his expression was calm and natural, and he looked like a Buddhist monk in the house.

Yang Qingcheng moved the rosary, in fact, he was refining the warm rosary, since the last time it was damaged, Yang Qingcheng has been carrying it with him, his hand does not leave the bead, and from time to time he will recite the blessing of the Prajna Sutra.

Yang Qingcheng smiled at the two of them and said, "I have neither an invitation post nor a guest card in my hand, but I have a jade card, I think you will understand it after reading it."

I saw Yang Qingcheng take out a jade token out of nowhere and look at the person guarding the door.

The two of them really know what this token represents. Although neither of them had seen this color, they had seen similar tokens, and they both understood the meaning of this milky jade-colored token, which was the identity mark of the true disciple of the Five Elements Sect.

"Disciple Zhao Yong (Wang Yaozong) has seen the sect's uncle. The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

"Oh, you are also disciples of the Mountain Sect?" Yang Qingcheng asked casually when he heard the two of them call him.

Zhao Yong and Wang Yaozong said with embarrassed faces: "Uncle Hui, the two disciples are not disciples of the Mountain Gate, and the two of us are the registered disciples of Situ Ming, the inner disciple of the sect. ”

"Oh, I see, then I don't know if I can go in?" Yang Qingcheng instantly understood.

Registered disciples are actually disciples recruited by the Five Elements Sect in the martial arts hall, and generally such disciples either really have some talents, or some power backgrounds. This is also a kind of latent strength developed by the Five Elements Sect under the mountain.

"Of course, Uncle Shi, please. Zhao Yong stepped forward first and led the way for Yang Qingcheng. Only Wang Yaozong was left in place, frustrated.

Yang Qingcheng followed Zhao Yong into the Five Elements Pavilion, only to feel that the inside and outside were like two heavens, and the aura inside the hall was much richer than the outside.

What a place to be!
