462 Mountain Castle
The Sanshan Branch Hall is a vast area in the north of the North River Boundary.
There is no country in the Beihe Realm, and the Beihe Boundary, which is incomparably huge, comparable to the entire Shenwu Continent, is divided into areas by various sub-halls.
And this three-mountain branch hall is located in a place tens of thousands of miles away in the north of Beihe Palace.
Ye Chen walked in the air, and the places he passed through were swept away by his divine thoughts, and he knew everything in his chest. This Beihe Realm is indeed prosperous, and it is much stronger than the neighboring Yushan Realm.
Even if it is much stronger than the Shenwu Continent. There are almost no vendetta battles with sects or countries as units, and even if there are occasional fights, most of them are only point-to-point, and few warriors have spilled their lives to fight to the death.
And even if there was a fight, no one dared to do anything close to the town. The peaceful will of the Holy Monarch of the Beihe Realm runs through the entire Beihe Realm, making it prosperous and prosperous, and all industries are in unison.
The same is true for the Three Mountains Branch, Ye Chen has already passed through several big cities, but he has not seen a life-and-death struggle together. There was a peaceful scene everywhere. This also made him secretly think in his heart, it seems that the arrangement of the Beihe Realm Lord cannot be regarded as a complete mistake, at least this kind of management will make the realm prosperous and people live a healthy life. It can't be said that it's not good.
It's just that for those who pursue martial arts and want to become stronger upward, this Beihe Realm is a little wrong.
Ye Chen watched and walked, he suppressed his strength at the ordinary Dao Venerable level, and did not move too fast. Half a day later, he arrived at Daishan City, where Li's family was located.
This is a mountain town located between the mountains of Dai, covering a small area and not a large population. Even if it is placed in the Shenwu Continent, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized city.
As soon as Ye Chen arrived at the edge of Daishan City, he fell from the sky and walked into the city.
The guards at the gate of the city were very gentle, and there was no such thing as charging a fee to enter the city as in other places.
Not bad. Ye Chen pondered in his heart that he had already entered Daishan City.
The layout of Daishan Castle is similar to that of ordinary cities, and it also presents a circular structure.
The most central place is the heart of the city, that is, the location of the city lord's mansion, where there are no civilians living there, only the city lord's family and subordinates. The area is not large, it is for the inner city.
Outside, the north side is against Daishan, and there are no people, and the south side is the location of some high-ranking families in the city, and the Lijia family is also in that direction.
On the east and west sides are two huge trading markets, the East Market and the West Market. The east market mainly sells some things needed for the cultivation of martial artists, while the west market sells some livelihood goods.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry to go to Li's house, he wanted to take a turn in the city first to familiarize himself with the environment. This is a habit he has developed since he went to the Demon Cloud World.
Ye Chen first walked through the inner city where the city lord's mansion is located, the inner city is mainly composed of tall palace buildings, across an inland river that runs through the city, relying on the Jinshui Bridge that is hundreds of steps long to connect the traffic on both sides of the river, from a distance is a magnificent palace group, and the scale is not small, almost no smaller than the Zhanjia style that Ye Chen has been to.
The palace building is magnificent, all of them are high-platform dougong buildings, there is the upper choke firmament, the lower Li Shu that kind of broad and majestic, magnificent spirit, faintly let people have the majestic atmosphere of lying down.
The outer city is several times larger than the inner city, and it is an urban area inhabited by ordinary merchants, with developed commerce, frequent travel, and a wide variety of goods vendors.
When Ye Chen turned around the market in the west of the city, he saw the sale of various animal products, such as meat, skin, tendons, horns, fat, and so on. In addition, there are porcelain, lacquer, ironware, textiles and other handmade products.
There was an unpleasant fishy smell floating on the street, and Ye Chen, who was smoked, was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't stay long. The pace quickened, and he turned to the East Market.
The East Market is much better, there are shops selling all kinds of blades, weapons, armor and armor, although it is prosperous, although it is not as good as the big cities that Ye Chen has seen before, but it is orderly, there are no fights and abuse, and the overall atmosphere is very good. And this is just a small town of Daishan under the Three Mountains Division, from which you can also imagine how prosperous the entire Beihe realm is.
Along the way, there are also foreign warriors who come like Ye Chen. There were no questions and inspections of them, and the traders on one side did not care, and seemed to be very accustomed to outsiders.
"Not bad. Ye Chen admired softly.
Ye Chen didn't show his skills, but walked around the city on foot for half a day, and then walked towards the south of the city where the Li family was located.
As soon as you arrive in the south of the city, you can see a high-walled compound, although these families in Daishan City did not dare to build their family houses as grand as the city lord's mansion, but they can also see that they have put a lot of effort into the building.
Gorgeous and magnificent, full of ingenuity.
Family courtyards are located in the south of the city, and although their population is less than one percent of Daishan City, they occupy a quarter of the vast land.
"It seems that the power of this family is unavoidable in any world, look at the south of the city, it is not much worse than the city lord's mansion. I'm afraid that in this small Daishan City, there is actually an undercurrent surging, and it is not so peaceful. Ye Chen said softly.
Yuan Tian Shengjun said: "This is also normal, no matter what world you are in, as long as one person attains the Dao, then you must take care of your own family." Therefore, the more ancient the city, the more entangled the power of the big family becomes, and it is difficult to sort it out at all. Usually the lord of the city, who represents the lord of the city, also has to contact with them, even marry, and adopt a coercive attitude to maintain his rule. This is still the Beihe Realm suppressed by the Lord of the Beihe Realm, so these families can't make any tricks, if not, I'm afraid it will be even more outrageous. ”
Ye Chen nodded lightly and walked along the incomparably wide long street in the south of the city, but the strange thing was that he didn't see the plaque of the Li family.
This made him very surprised, could it be that he was in the wrong place? Before he came here, he went to Senior Brother Yingtian to check where the Li family was, and it should indeed be the Li family in the south of Daishan City. How not?
"Young Master. ”
Ye Chen was puzzled when he heard a voice behind him. He turned around and saw that it was a martial artist of the Divine Xuan Realm. Maybe you can't call him a martial artist, because in this Guanlan world, ordinary people basically have cultivation above the gods, so it seems that this person is just an ordinary person.
This person looks very young, but Ye Chen can feel the breath of this person, he is at least sixty or seventy years old, but because his cultivation has reached the realm of the Divine Xuan, he only looks like he is thirty or forty.
"Young master, it's really you! You're back, you want to die old slave!"
When the man saw Ye Chen, he seemed very excited, rushed over and held his hand with open hands, and carefully looked Ye Chen up and down. There were sighs of admiration in his mouth.
Ye Chen was a little embarrassed by his appearance, and he didn't recognize who this person was, but looking at his dress in green clothes and hats, he should be a servant of the Li family. 139
Look at this age, it seems that he has been in the family for a long time. Maybe it's still the kind that watched Li Chong grow up, so Ye Chen didn't know what kind of attitude to use towards him, and he didn't know the name of the person, so he could only stand there awkwardly.
"Childe, what's wrong with you?" The old family looked at Ye Chen with an embarrassed look, and couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that Childe is in trouble in Beihe Palace?"
Ye Chen hurriedly shook his head: "No, no." It's just that I haven't come back for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable. ”
"Well, not really. The old family looked at Ye Chen with an excited face: "My son-in-law went to practice under the seat of the old immortal of the Beihe Realm, and now that he has returned to our mortal world, it is naturally difficult to adapt." ”
His voice was not small, and now there are many passers-by walking around on the road, most of them are dressed as servants, and they should be the descendants of these big families in the south of the city.
As soon as they heard what the old servant of the Li family said, they all turned their eyes on Ye Chen, full of curiosity and envy.
Ye Chen was a little awkward, he really hadn't experienced anything like this. So he greeted the old family: "Let's go home first." ”
The old family said yes again and again, leading Ye Chen all the way forward.
"Is the old lady okay?" Ye Chen asked lightly as he walked.
The originally bright smile on the old family's face condensed slightly, and then responded with a little skinny smile: "It's all good, it's all good, the young master doesn't have to worry." ”
Ye Chen looked at his strange smile and knew that something was wrong. However, he didn't come back to the Li family to meddle in his affairs, so he didn't ask much, just followed the old family and walked forward.
I walked until I walked to the corner of the street, and then I saw the old family enter a corner door. Ye Chen was stunned, Corner Gate?
Isn't this family also a big family in Daishan City? Why is there only a small corner gate on the street? Where did the gate open?
He frowned slightly, but didn't ask much, just followed the old family into the courtyard.
It's just that this time he entered the courtyard, but Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. It was too different from what he had imagined.
Outside is the bustling streets of the south of the city, but inside it seems to be isolated into another world.
The whole courtyard is not small, and there are many trees and flowers planted all over it.
A light-colored courtyard is far from the luxurious atmosphere of other family buildings on the street, but it looks beautiful.
And into the depths of the courtyard, you can see the door of the house and the golden plaque on the door.
In front of the gate are two columns of towering ancient cypresses, the gate is lacquered with gold nails, the left and right high walls are hung with wind chimes, singing softly with the wind, a leisurely scene.
"Open the door, the young master is back. The old family stepped up the steps and greeted them loudly.
Immediately, a middle-aged steward in a brocade robe turned out and personally led Ye Chen inside.
Through a stone path lined with small garden buildings, a slightly old majestic building came into view.
Ye Chen frowned secretly when he saw it, such a huge building couldn't be seen at all outside. I think there is also a good covering formation in this family. The area is much larger than what you see from the outside.
Ye Chen said secretly: "At the very least, such a formation should be arranged by a martial artist of the Supreme Realm. This family is different from what I thought, is it still a family with some background?"
All the way inward.
On both sides of the road are vast gardens, which are symmetrical and symmetrical.
There are two pavilions in the huge courtyard, both of which sit on top of a half-moon-shaped pool, with heavy eaves and roofs, and some whiskers and moss on the scales and green tiles, and a clumsy roof at the top of the pavilion. Below is the white stone pedestal, the railing is beautifully carved but not complicated, revealing a quaint and quiet atmosphere.
Regardless of the strange flowers and trees around the pavilion, the winding paths lead to the secluded, just these two pavilions, you can see the taste and ingenuity of the designer.
The arrangement of plants in the garden is also very ingenious, with pines and cypresses and other cold-resistant evergreen trees as the main tone, and then with light-colored flowers with small leaves and broken flowers, the cloth is clear but not charming, light but not demonic. Although the sun is scorching now, and the bustling streets are outside the wall, it still gives people the feeling of seeking tranquility in the middle of the noise and floating out of the world.
From time to time, the trees show the strange and strange stones, which are embellished with the elegant atmosphere in the garden. Under the backdrop of the garden, the main house is becoming more and more weatherful, and in terms of artistic conception, it is far superior to the tacky palace-shaped buildings of the Zhan family.
"It's not bad here, it seems that this master really has a bit of ingenuity, which is rare among martial artists, but it seems to be the handwriting of literati. Yuan Tian Shengjun sighed.
Ye Chen released his divine sense, swept the entire Li family mansion in an instant, and immediately had a general impression in his mind, and said to the Yuantian Holy Monarch: "There are many formations in this garden, and there are even a few of them are the great killing formations of the Ancestral Immortal Realm. And the layout is very strange, as if the entire Lijia was built in this garden. The layout of the room is incompatible with the quiet garden, and it seems to be forced in. It seems that this place should have been moved in by the descendants of the Li family. Only part of the garden layout and the killing array were retained. ”
Yuan Tian Shengjun pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, this Li family originally occupied a large area, but now it has been compressed into this small garden?"
Ye Chen said: "It should be like this." Therefore, you can't see the main entrance of Lijia on the street, only a corner gate. There was a killing array in the garden, so there was no way to make changes. Also, I swept this garden with my divine sense. There is no one who has a high cultivation, only one person is a cultivator in the early stage of Vientiane, and that person should be Li Chong's father, Li Guiyu. With such a weak strength of the Li family, it can continue to stay in the big family in the south of the city, and it should rely on the killing array in this garden. ”
"Yes. It's just that these killing arrays are weird. Why can't I recognize any of them?"
Yuan Tian Shengjun's words touched Ye Chen at once. Only then did he wake up, yes, weren't all the formations arranged in this garden all the methods in the Ancient Heavenly Court! No wonder the Yuantian Holy Monarch didn't recognize it.
Although limited to the materials of the array, the power of these killing arrays has been reduced a lot, and they have changed from the Heavenly God Killing Array to the Ancestral Immortal Level Killing Array, but this is still a formation that has been circulated in the Ancient Heavenly Court.
It seems that this family is really not simple, this should be a family left by a fallen god, or a family that has helped the fallen god.
"Looks like it's the right time. Ye Chen said something in his heart, his eyes burning and shining.
