Chapter 9: The First Arrival in Yunyue
Gu Zipei looked at the tall and majestic city wall in front of him.
The three big characters of "Yunyue City" that fly and dance and contain majestic spiritual power are suspended on the city wall dozens of meters high, showing its extraordinary identity to the people under the city wall.
Legend has it that these three words were left by the Sword Emperor, one of the Seven Emperors of the year.
Countless people have stayed under this wall, including a generation of heroes and young talents, who have observed here, hoping to comprehend the sword intent.
Of course, it is almost impossible to comprehend and use the same sword intent, but there are many people who can improve through it.
There are many people watching here, and some related people gather here.
For example β vendors.
The so-called hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. This kind of scene will basically appear wherever there are people.
And when this phenomenon first appeared, it did not hurt. But after all, this is outside the city, and there is no person in charge of law and order, and when there are many people, there will be security problems - fights, stealing chickens and dogs.
As a result, Yunyue City had to intervene to stop it, and there was no shortage of fierce and ruthless traders among those vendors, so there was even a scene of chaos and army suppression here.
But even so, it still can't stop this trend. Later, a peculiar phenomenon was formed in which people from the city came and people from outside the city left.
But later, someone at the top of Yunyue City naturally gave an idea.
It is better to loosen the blockage, and simply establish a special place for trading. It can not only solve the problem of public security, but also collect a certain amount of taxes. So, a huge platform appeared not far from the wall.
As a result, it has also become a special out-of-town city.
Here, as long as you pay a certain amount of rent, you can rent a stall. Booths are divided into temporary and long-term according to different needs. At this stall, you can observe the words on the city wall not far away, and you can also do business here.
However, the line of sight here is not very good, and Yunyue City has a special viewing platform - closer and clearer than this.
Buildings are not allowed to be erected in these two locations, and violators will be severely punished.
But this does not affect the concentration of people here. Because of the special nature of this place, the things you buy here are different from the ordinary markets in the city.
Because the audience is cultivators who cultivate spiritual power, the prices of the items here are calculated in gold and spirit stones.
In this world, there are two current currencies in the human region. One is gold, and the other is spirit stone.
Although both of them come from the earth, their uses are very different - gold is mostly used by ordinary humans, that is, humans who cannot store it in their bodies or store too little in it to buy ordinary items. As for the spirit stone, because the spiritual power contained in it can be refined and absorbed by cultivators, it is widely used among cultivators.
According to the amount of spiritual power contained in the spirit from low to high, the spirit stones are divided into low-grade spirit stones, low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.
It is about the same sizeβthe size of an adult's thumb, i.e., an elongated cylindrical crystal.
Not to mention, because these three words attract a huge number of people, which makes this place very lively. So in the eyes of the group of people outside, those three golden characters are equivalent to golden signboards.
In fact, part of the huge population of Yunyue City was also attracted by the influence brought by these three words.
Gu Zipei didn't come here to see the sword intent. Because for him, this kind of thing is somewhat redundant.
He dusted off his yellow robe and walked briskly towards the main entrance.
At the main entrance, there is a long line.
It's noon, and the people outside are coming in, and the people inside are going out.
"It's so slow......"
With such a long line, I'm afraid it will take a long time to get in.
To enter the city, you have to pay a certain deposit and receive an iron medal.
This iron plate has a spiritual power imprint on it, which records the name of the person who entered the city, the time of entering the city, the time of stay, and the person who recorded it.
If you want to stay, eat, etc., you need this iron plate to register, if you don't have this iron plate, then sorry, you may have to go to prison to eat and live.
Not to mention this, I saw Gu Zipei staggering here, and after lining listlessly for more than half an hour, he finally came to the entrance.
There were two tables at the entrance, one in front of each table, and a few people in uniform yellow uniforms stood at the door, and the word "Yunyue" was printed on the front and back of their bodies.
With Gu Zipei's strength, it's no problem to go in quietly, but he came this time to have a light meal, and he is not on a secret mission.
Besides, even if you go in, you still can't do anything without that iron plate. And if it is discovered, it will undoubtedly cause huge trouble.
Yunyue City is divided into five sub-cities: Dongcheng, Xicheng, Nancheng, Beicheng, and Zhongcheng, that is, the nominal five sub-districts. Zhongcheng is directly under the jurisdiction of the city lord of Yunyue City, and the other four corresponding sub-districts have a lower level and the same corresponding division as other cities, but the power is not as big as Zhongcheng.
This is a way of managing large cities, that is, to establish a lower-level urban system by dividing the city within a city, so as to achieve the purpose of managing a large number of people.
There are five districts, and naturally there are five corresponding people under their jurisdiction. Needless to say, Zhongcheng is directly under the general department of Yunyue City, and the city lord Shi Huaixin and the first deacon Liang Siqing are responsible for specific affairs. The other sub-cities have corresponding city deputy divisions and sub-city lords and sub-deacons.
The lord of the castle was mainly responsible for the armed aspects, while the chief was mainly responsible for the internal affairs. The other four sub-city lords were directly appointed by Shi Huaixin, but they could also be called by the chief if necessary.
The size of Yunyue City and the number of people can be seen. Therefore, there is bound to be no shortage of good investigators and patrols in the city.
In addition, there are people patrolling the streets at all times, and the corresponding tools they carry can identify people who do not have iron plates.
Therefore, it is very difficult to infiltrate such a city.
"Name. The person sitting at the table asked without looking up, with a serious expression.
"Ye Ziren. β
"What do you do here? β
"Sharpened. β
The man looked up and glanced at Gu Zipei strangely, then lowered his head again and recorded it on the paper.
"Stay for a few days. β
"One day. β
After asking these questions, I saw that the man picked up one of the stacked iron cards on the side of the table, and urged the spiritual power to pour into it.
After a while, the man handed the iron card to Gu Zipei.
"One penny. β
Gu Zipei handed the money to the man.
The man took it, waved his hand and let him go.
