Chapter 5: The Colosseum
Xu Qingfeng didn't know what kind of place the gladiatorial arena was, but listening to Chen Yi's tone, he could judge that this gladiatorial arena was definitely not a place like a ruin, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
It wasn't until Chen Yi finished introducing the situation in the gladiatorial arena that Xu Qingfeng understood why Chen Yi had found them.
The name of the city is called Sun City, but it seems to be the name of the palace in mid-air, after all, the palace in mid-air is really where the sun god lives, but in fact, the golden palace group in mid-air is called the city where the sun god lives.
And this mortal city, because it is under the city where the sun never sets, and it is a central city dedicated to worshiping the sun god, so it is named Sun City.
This Sun City stretches for tens of thousands of miles, in addition to the distribution of large and small temples, there are also various places where mortals and monks operate, and at the same time, it is also divided into various areas, just like Wanghaiguan, according to different forces and identities, divided into a number of small cities, in the shape of a circle, the largest sun temple guards the center, as a place to hold large-scale sacrifices and pilgrimages.
As the name suggests, the gladiatorial arena is a place dedicated to duels between people and beasts, or between people and people.
In CitΓ© Soleil, there are two types of gladiatorial arenas: one for the laity and the other for monks.
In the gladiatorial arena among the laity, in addition to the fight between slaves and beasts, it is a duel between slaves and slaves, but in the gladiatorial arena of monks, in addition to these two, there is also a fight between monks and monks.
Of course, duels between monks are completely different from duels between slaves, the former is voluntary between the two parties, while the latter is passively forced, and in addition, duels between monks, the winner can win rich prizes.
This is actually a bit like the challenge of the Kyushu world in the ring, except that there is no duel between the beast and the beast in the Kyushu world.
But whether it is a ring or a gladiatorial arena, it is a place for gambling, and the biggest feature is that it can generate rolling wealth.
Chen Yi wanted to go to the monk's gladiatorial arena, and he also wanted to go to a duel with the monk.
The reason why he found Xu Qingfeng and them was actually to want Xu Qingfeng to go to the gladiatorial arena with him to help him grow his momentum.
The people in the Colosseum would tell the slave that if they won a few battles, they would restore the slave's freedom, and when the monk went to war, they would also tell the monk that both sides were voluntary, and if they won, they would receive different rewards according to the number of victories.
The people in the arena were very trustworthy, but no slave was ever free.
The gladiatorial arena is used to make money, not to open a charity hall, and even if a slave is lucky enough to win a few times, he will still die in the gladiatorial arena in the end.
For the monks, the gladiatorial arena does not dare to use their hands and feet on the surface, but secretly they will make all kinds of shady things.
Xu Qingfeng asked Chen Yi, "Do you want us to go to the gladiatorial arena with you and participate in a duel?"
Chen Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "And dare and dare, I just want a few people to accompany me, and the one who really participates in the duel is only the next person, and when I win the victory in Xia, the benefits can be divided equally." β
Yi Evil interjected: "What you mean is that we will be your thugs. β
Not only did Chen Yi feel embarrassed at this time, but even Xu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed, although Chen Yi might have this idea, but Yi Yi was too straightforward.
Xu Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Please also ask Chen Daoyou to understand, my brother has never been very good at talking." β
Chen Yi hurriedly said: "I can understand the thoughts of this fellow Daoist, after all, I took the liberty of stepping forward and letting you accompany me to the gladiatorial arena, which is easy to cause misunderstanding, but I definitely don't mean to ask you to help me, but just want to show the outside world that I am not alone, but have companions, so that those who want to attack me have scruples, but if someone really makes a move without scruples, you can stay out of it." β
He Shengcai said quietly: "Boss, you can go and have a look." β
Xu Qingfeng knew that He Shengcai was attracted by the treasure, and he didn't do anything, as long as Chen Yi won the victory, he could share half of the wealth.
But Xu Qingfeng still doesn't want to go, there are some things, even if you don't do anything, but as long as you join it, it is impossible to stay out of it, although Chen Yi said that he can ignore him, but share his goods, and don't help him, even if others don't say it, his conscience can't get over, and then talk about his own people, the most important thing now is to find the Xu family in Huzhou.
After thinking about it, Xu Qingfeng said to Chen Yi: "Chen Daoyou, I'm very sorry, we have important matters to deal with now, and we really can't accompany you to the gladiatorial arena." β
Chen Yi's face was full of disappointment, so he had to say: "Xu Daoyou is a little presumptuous to do his own business, if Xu Daoyou has anything, he can help him, and he can do it." β
Xu Qingfeng didn't take Chen Yi's words to heart, but He Shengcai asked in a ghostly manner, "Do you know the people of the Xu family in Huzhou?"
Xu Qingfeng secretly complained about how to make money, and the Xu family in Huzhou is not an ancient relic, do you think everyone will know it?
But unexpectedly, Chen Yi actually said: "Did you say the Huzhou Xu family in the southern state?"
Xu Qingfeng stopped at once, and asked eagerly, "Chen Daoyou, do you really know the people of the Xu family in Huzhou?"
Chen Yi shook his head and said: "I haven't dealt with them directly, but when they entered Sun City, they showed off to others on the road, saying that they have a very close relationship with the Marquis of Huzhou in the southern state, and if they go to Huzhou in the future, as long as they report their names, there is nothing they can't do in Huzhou." β
Xu Qingfeng gritted his teeth secretly, these shameless brutes treated others as lackeys, and they deserved to be willing, they really lost all the face of the Xu family's ancestors.
"Chen Daoyou, do you know where the Xu family lives in Sun City?"
Xu Qingfeng didn't have much hope, but he didn't want Chen Yi to surprise him again.
"Of course, they live in the same inn as me, just a few steps from here. β
Xu Qingfeng was very surprised, and he didn't inform Taiyingyue and them, so he hurriedly asked Chen Yi to take them to the inn where the Xu family lived in Huzhou immediately.
When he arrived at the inn where the Xu family lived in Huzhou, he found that just like Chen Yi said, there were really not a few steps, just turning a corner and arrived, no wonder Chen Yi would appear outside the inn where Xu Qingfeng lived.
It's just that when Xu Qingfeng and they pushed open the door of the Xu family living in Huzhou, they found that there was no one in the room, and later asked the inn guys, only to know that the people of the Xu family in Huzhou had gone to the gladiatorial arena.
Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that this gladiatorial arena had to go now, and everyone turned to the gladiatorial arena non-stop at the moment.
The arena was specially built for the monks, in the middle of the city, near the Temple of the Sun, very far from this place, but for the monks, it was only about an hour or two.
