Chapter 23 Qingxu City
In the Qingxu Mountains in the western part of Chu State, there is a huge city reaching to the sky. The city wall is tens of feet high, soaring into the clouds, and the whole body is made of thousands of catties of huge stones. The city gate is ten feet wide and is made of a black metal.
There are all kinds of luxurious vehicles coming in and out at the gate of the city. Some of the bodies exude colorful brilliance, and they are not ordinary at first glance. The creatures pulling the carts are obviously different from the horses in the mortal world. They look like horses. He is one foot tall, with muscles bulging all over his body. There is also a single horn on the head, and it seems easy to pull a large cart without any effort.
There are also people who come out directly riding a big tiger, but the tiger still has two wings on its back.
Another young man took out a small sack the size of a palm when he came out of the city gate, and released a large bird with a wingspan of two or three feet from it. As soon as it vibrated, it flew into the air of several tens of feet.
This scene stunned the four people standing by the city gate, and they looked like bumpkins entering the city.
The clothes of these four people were torn and unkempt. The person at the head seems to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and looks ordinary.
Though the other three were dressed in tatters, their demeanor was full of toughness, and there was a faint murderous aura on their bodies. This kind of murderous aura could not be formed without killing countless people.
However, these three people were very respectful when facing the leader boy, and they didn't dare to offend them a little bit. They looked at the boy with a faint admiration in their eyes.
This young man is naturally Wang Hong. Since the Qin army was defeated in Huju City three years ago, the Chu army has won many victories. After regaining the lost ground attacked by the Qin army, the two sides returned to the original border to confront each other.
In the past three years, Wang Hong has cultivated a group of elite soldiers and strong generals. He has fought dozens of battles without losing a single one. He once set a record of more than 2,000,000; he even led a hundred soldiers in person, went into a crowd of thousands of troops and took the head of the enemy general. In Zouma Gorge, he ambushed and killed 50,000 horses from the Qin army, and captured its leader alive.
All these great achievements made him a rising star in the Chu army.
His position was also promoted to the general who conquered the North with tens of thousands of horses due to the accumulation of military achievements.
And with the help of Dragon Tiger Pill and various medicinal diets, Wang Hong's cultivation finally reached the peak of the innate realm.
At this time, Wang Hong's meridians were unobstructed, his five senses were keen, and he could have thousands of catties of strength with just one blow. "Horizontal Liuhe Gong" has also been practiced to the ninth level. It can be said that the current Wang Hong is invincible among warriors.
Having seen the means of the immortal family, he has long since given up on this. For him, power, fame and fortune in the mortal world are nothing more than a struggle for supremacy on the horns of a snail.
He even yearns for immortals flying to the sky and escaping from the earth, traveling to the North Sea at dusk, wandering freely between heaven and earth, taking five hundred years as spring and five hundred years as autumn, the world is old but I am not old.
A few months ago, Wang Hong submitted his resignation to the general, and he also presented a 200-year-old ginseng. Accepting the ginseng, the general happily agreed, and promised to help him submit it to the court, and everything would be done for him.
Before leaving, he called Zhang Tiemao, Lu Jingou, and others to have a meal together, and gave each of them a bottle of Baiyu Xuming Pill and a bottle of Dragon and Tiger Pill.
These people have also studied and fought with Wang Hong for several years. These years he fought with Wang Hong, and now he also has the rank of school lieutenant.
Wang Hong hoped that they would have a better life in the future.
In the past few years, Wang Hong has cultivated a 100-member personal guard. This 100-member team has spent a lot of effort in training, all of which are acquired strength. Before leaving, ninety-seven people were willing to follow him.
Fortunately, he brought this team along, otherwise Wang Hong might not be able to reach Qingxu City by himself.
This journey can be said to be full of hardships and dangers, with a narrow escape. The Qingxu Mountain is full of various dangerous places, and there are endless beasts.
Although they took the safest route, they got into danger several times. Once besieged by a group of ferocious wolves, each of which has the strength of a martial artist. A group of people dealt with it for three days before killing a **** path.
I heard that in the Qingxu Mountains, there is a kind of monster that is more powerful than fierce beasts. It can swallow clouds and mist, and cast spells, which can only be dealt with by immortals.
Wang Hong looked around and said, "The four of us will first enter the city to inquire about the news, and then we will meet here."
Wang Hong approached the city gate, only to see a notice, which is basically the notice for entering the city.
The content is as large as: Qingxu City welcomes anyone to enter. For the first time entering the city, you must apply for a registration card at the city gate. No one is allowed to fight (fight) in the city. Anyone who violates the law will be severely punished by the city guards. Flying is prohibited in the city, except for those above the golden elixir stage.
Wang Hong saw a table next to the city gate, with more than a dozen people lined up in front of it, and an old man with a goatee sitting behind the table.
Seeing this, the four Wang Hong also lined up behind them.
While queuing up, they saw a white and thin young man walking towards the city gate with the crowd, but when he reached the city gate, he seemed to be blocked by an air wall, and he couldn't move half a step forward even though his face was blushing. .
"Hahaha"
The behavior of the young man made the people around him burst into laughter. Finally, an enthusiastic middle-aged man told him to go to the city to register, and he couldn't get in without a registration card.
The young man blushed with shame, and hurried over to the back of the line.
Soon Wang Hong was in line, and the goatee old man glanced at him casually. Just this casual glance made Wang Hong unable to resist, his whole body was seen through, and even made people have an urge to worship.
"Name?" the goatee old man asked lightly.
"Wang Hong." Wang Hong answered hastily.
The goatee old man wrote a few strokes on a book, and wrote Wang Hong's name on a wooden sign, and threw it to Wang Hong casually.
Wang Hongdao thanked him and took the wooden sign. It was a palm-sized wooden sign with his name written on it. It was heavy in the hand and very hard. After putting away the wooden sign, he walked towards the city gate.
There are dozens of guards in black armor beside the city gate, turning a blind eye to the people entering and leaving the city gate. Some are even closing their eyes to meditate.
Facing the city gate is a straight street, with people coming and going on the street, and there are many attics on both sides, and there are shops.
Wang Hong feels a bit similar to the secular world, only taller and more majestic. On the left is a shop called Wanbaolou, which is more than thirty feet high. There were also four stunning women standing at the door as welcome guests.
The one that sells clothes is called the Yijia Shop. The clothes displayed in it are all in a bright light, and there are even armors for sale inside.
There is also a Refining Pavilion, where weapons such as swords, guns, swords and shields are displayed in the hall. Wang Hong estimates that it should be similar to a blacksmith's shop.
There are also restaurants, inns, pharmacies (Ellite Pavilion) and so on.
Wang Hong walked slowly along this street for a certain distance, and found a huge square. Inside the crowd was surging, the voice was noisy, and it was crowded with people of all colors. There is a huge sign in the middle, with the words "Free Square City" written on it, shining in broad daylight.
It's like a big fair in the countryside, filled with various stalls. Wang Hong did not expect such a place to exist in this fairy city, and the tall image of a fairy in his mind jumped off the altar in an instant.
Wang Hong followed the crowd without even thinking about it. This kind of crowded place is best for getting to know the city quickly.
"Hey! You're selling monster meat! The golden-haired monster cattle you just hunted!" I saw a black-faced man yelling vigorously there: "Selling first-class intermediate-grade golden-haired monster beef, one hundred catties I need a spirit stone!"
As soon as he approached, he heard the sound of shouting hard, and saw a large pile of bright red meat in front of the black-faced man, and several people gathered in front of the stall and were bargaining.
