Chapter 112 Gluttonous City【A monthly ticket for the new book! 】
"Aw—"
The high-pitched roar of the beast echoed over the long ridge, shaking the stratus clouds.
The cultivator riding on the beast's body flicked his whip lightly, and the huge beast lowered its head obediently, extremely docile.
In this way, the huge beasts carrying a large number of goods and people flowed out for several miles, forming a curved black line. At the end of the black line is a majestic city gate built against the mountain.
The city wall is extremely tall, with old and damaged bricks and stones, like an ancient giant lying on the mountain.
Standing on this desolate land, there are countless auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts gathering from all directions, but these fliers will consciously land outside the city and line up to enter the city.
This kind of air-forbidden rule, every large fairy gate will have it, otherwise it is really difficult to control.
Each gate of Taotie City is divided into two gates, one large and one small. The gates are extremely wide for the teams of large spirit beasts and goods to enter. The speed is very slow, so the queues are far away.
The small gate is for people and small spirit beasts to pass through, so the team walked quickly.
In terms of scale and number of people, Taotie City naturally cannot compare with Yudu Panyang City. But this is the only city in the world where practitioners are the main body, and there are less than half of the mortals in the city.
Chu Liang was standing in the line, moving forward slowly.
He was dressed in a brocade jacket with sleeves, similar to that of an ordinary rich man, but he couldn't tell he was a cultivator. Beside her is the emperor's female phoenix in a red and white high-waisted skirt, with her long legs spread out, her figure is particularly eye-catching.
Walk through the deep and long city gate, and when you look up, you will see a wide avenue lined with four or five-story attics. There are various signboards hanging on it, all of which are shops related to practitioners. There are figures shuttling between the attics from time to time, but they all rise and fall lightly. Because the city is still forbidden to go empty, the rule is that it is not allowed to go beyond the highest floor of the attic on the street.
Otherwise, a law enforcement team will come to sanction.
In such a huge city, the law enforcement team has a lot of people, among them there are only a few disciples from the Taotie City sect, and most of them are invited offerings.
The offerings in Taotie City are divided into ranks one to nine, among which the low ranks are not so much offerings, but more like hired thugs. It is also the only sect in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands that has more outsiders than its own disciples.
No way, just have money.
"Come change some money first." The Empress Feng next to her greeted.
Naturally, it wasn't the first time she came here, and she didn't have such a shocking impression as Chu Liang, and she just walked lazily with her hands in her sleeves. The first building after entering the city gate is the bank, which is convenient for exchanging coins for those who enter the city.
The beast coin is commonly used in Taotie City, which is more widely used than Shushan, and is naturally more detailed. There are four denominations... Qinglong coin, tiger head coin, Zhuque coin and Xuanwu coin.
From large to small, for example, one green dragon coin is equal to ten tiger head coins, and the conversion is performed according to the ratio of one to ten. Among them, the penultimate Suzaku coin is worth as much as the Shushan sword coin.
"Excuse me, help me exchange a thousand Suzaku coins and a hundred Xuanwu coins." Chu Liang handed over a bag of sword coins to the cultivators in the bank.
The person inside took the sword coin, inspected it briefly, and then nodded and passed.
Immediately, he handed back to Chu Liang a bag of small Lingshi coins carved in the shape of Suzaku. Chu Liang squeezed out one and felt it. There was indeed a unique spirituality in it.
The reason why the immortal sects use Lingshi as a common currency material is because it is tough and contains aura, and it is easy to give spirituality, thus avoiding forgery.
Otherwise, if anyone uses spirit stones to carve these shapes, there will be no control.
"Hey." The Empress Feng looked at Chu Liang from behind, and said with a smile, "You kid, did you save money?"
Chu Liang stared at her cautiously, and said, "It's all hard money."
Out of the bank, Empress Feng saw that Chu Liang was still putting her hand on the purse, as if subconsciously protecting it.
She smiled and said, "Relax, don't act like a bumpkin who entered the city for the first time... although you are. Let me tell you, the more nervous you are, the easier it is for thieves to target you."
Master, you don’t think I’m guarding against other thieves, do you?
…
"Moo—"
Suddenly, there was a muffled roar like a large bull's roar from behind.
Looking back, I saw a three-story tall, thick-skinned, bald, and gray-white monster slowly approaching in the middle of the street. Dozens of long chains were wrapped around its body, dragging a long car behind it. The wooden cart moves forward steadily.
This beast is called Zuoshan Beast. It has a diligent and docile personality. It is the most common monster for transporting heavy objects.
But this huge mountain beast is not pulling goods, but people. This is the patrol car of Taotie City, travelers who don't want to walk can get on the car, and move forward with the mountain beast.
Emperor Feng then pulled Chu Liang into the rear car. There was a cultivator sitting at the door, and there was a merit box next to it. Chu Liang stuffed two basalt coins into it without even lifting his eyelids.
After getting into the car, the master and the apprentice looked at the scenery outside the window full of leisure. Chu Liang discovered that the shops on the street outside not only have spiritual plants, elixirs, and magic tools for practitioners, but also many restaurants, inns, teahouses and gambling houses...these are found in ordinary cities, and they are also found in Taotie City .
Watching it, I listened to the conversation of the cultivators seated next to me.
"Huh? This month's Seven Star Mansion has been reported." A cultivator laughed.
"Yeah, it's quite exciting." Another cultivator held the Seven Star Mansion newspaper and read it with relish.
The emperor's daughter Feng heard the words, her eyes lit up, she leaned over twice, and asked, "Brother, is there any news about Shushan Emperor's daughter Feng in this episode of Kyushu Fengyun Policy?"
Ever since the Nanguan City incident, she has been thinking about this. If she didn't rely on any great merits to overwhelm that old man Wang Xuanling, she would still feel uneasy.
"Yes!" The cultivator nodded and said, "The first one is."
As he spoke, he read out the title and said, "Shocked! The master of the Shushan bully punched the man in the head, and found out that the other party's identity was actually the prince of the dynasty?"
"Huh?" The emperor's daughter Feng frowned.
She thought she would definitely be praised for her great achievements this time, but who would have thought that it would be a black title again?
"Master, calm down..." Chu Liang hastily pulled the hem of her clothes, and whispered, "Going out..."
"I'm not angry." Emperor Nvfeng squeezed out a smile, then turned her head and shouted at the cultivator: "Keep reading!"
"Ah..." The cultivator was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the Seven Star Mansion Newspaper almost fell to the ground, but he was frightened by the power of the Empress Feng, so he dared not follow, and immediately continued to read.
"On that day, the princess Feng, the owner of Yinjian Peak in Shushan Mountain, received a call for help from her disciples, and immediately rushed to Nanguan City for rescue. After landing, she met a middle-aged man who was also angry. Under everyone's attention, the Empress Phoenix punched the opponent's head without hesitation!"
"Then she discovered that the other party's identity is actually Ding Shanhou!"
"Why did this tragedy happen? What kind of secret is it related to? It can be said...Shushan's two young heroes are both wise and brave to solve the strange case, and the two fathers and sons in the Hou's mansion are so dissolute..."
"Let me explain to you in detail..."
Chu Liang was sitting next to the Empress Feng, and felt a burst of heat spraying directly to her face, the master was about to turn red!
He hurriedly greeted the cultivator, and whispered: "Stop reading..."
Then persuaded the emperor: "Master, don't be angry, don't be angry, being angry is to leave room for the devil..."
While persuading the emperor's daughter Feng, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: This Zhang Xiaohan is real, why write everything up...Even if it is true, you can't say that.
It would be embarrassing to say it...
