Chapter 80 Going and Staying
(I really didn't expect that the monthly ticket list will be third. Although it's only a while! Here, we are celebrating the Zhongyuan Festival for the 16th. Today, I will go back to my hometown to celebrate the festival. I will first update the two guaranteed tickets. Monthly tickets, more than 200 today, more than 400, and when I come back at night, I will add additional updates.)
Half a month ago, Chen Xun and his friends moved directly into the disciples' courtyard of Suwuwei's Mansion as soon as they entered the city. Except for attending the introductory ceremony today, they had no chance to walk around the city.
When I crossed the ridge and saw the black city walls that stretched for hundreds of miles, I was shocked by the magnificence of Canglan City. It was a feeling.
However, Canglan City is so magnificent that you can feel deeper when you are in it.
Chen Xun followed Zuoqiu, Zongya and others in the streets and alleys as dense as spider webs. He watched the crowds rubbing along the street and passed through the south city gate. He found that there was a dilapidated city besides the huge black wall.
This is the southern city of Canglan City.
Chen Xun had long been accustomed to the vast and sparsely populated life. Black python occupied a radius of hundreds of miles to survive, with only more than a thousand people. Every time he went out to the village to collect herbs and hunt, he might not be able to hit a single figure in three or five days.
In Canglan City surrounded by high walls, nearly one million people live in it. The dense population and huge number are far beyond Chen Xun's imagination.
The south city is full of dilapidated sheds. It had rained heavily the day before yesterday. The muddy streets and alleys were deep and shallow, and there were mud pits everywhere, which was worse than Wumang Stone Village.
The people along the street were dressed in rags and covered in vegetables. Many people were so hungry that they could be drowning, but no one paid attention to it.
Judging from this situation, Chen Xun realized that Nancheng is actually a slum in Canglan City. Even the three walls are low earth walls. The defense cannot be compared with the 100-meter-high black stone walls in the main city, and there is no expectation of any defensive magic array.
In the end, there were 46 children of the Beishan tribe who followed Zuoqiu, Zongya and others into Canglan City. Many of them were injured or disabled, and they urgently needed medical treatment and were limited in property, so they could only find a ruined place in the south city.
The sparse hedges enclose a yard of two acres. There are several sheds and houses in it. Then a few animal skin tents are built in the open space. This is where the children of Beishan are settled in Canglan City.
Everyone felt the pain, and the situation here was at least not worse than that in the tribe.
Although the walls of Nancheng are low and do not look like they are protected by magic circles. Although the wild beasts in the mountains and ridges on both sides are ten or a hundred times stronger than those of Python Yaling, they have an unspeakable sense of security when crowded with hundreds of thousands of people.
Even if there are ferocious birds and beasts in the depths of the towering mountains on both sides, nothing is safer than hiding in hundreds of thousands of people.
Everyone hugged Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng and others happily entered the house and sat on the ground, and asked eagerly about their living conditions in the disciple's courtyard.
Of course, what everyone is more concerned about is how Chen Xun knew Su Tang, the direct disciple of the Su family ancestor. Such a good opportunity is in front of him, so why did he refuse to join Su Tang in public?
Chen Xun naturally could not tell so many people about the secrets behind this. Seeing that there were a lot of stones and wood piled up in the yard, he asked Zuo Qiu by questioning: "Do you plan to set up a house here?"
"Well, the business traveler can reach the northern mountain of Mangyaling. I was thinking that in the future, everyone should have a place to settle in Canglan City. Before, it was a tribe's trial. The barbarians in the clan are forbidden to enter the trial area. After a few days, the tribe should send people here," Zuo Qiu said with a worried look on his face, "I just don't know if the Guixi tribe will interfere."
There are mixed dragons and snakes in Canglan City, with millions of people.
In addition to the Su family and Canglan Academy, there are countless small and medium-sized clans and casual cultivators. Thousands of tribes living in the Canglan Wasteland must have exchanges and transactions. They will mainly go to Canglan City for any exchanges and transactions.
In any aspect, the convenience you can obtain when practicing in Canglan City is far from being closed, and remote black pythons can.
"Three people go together there must be my teacher."
Even if he cannot enter Canglan Academy, Chen Xun believes that he can find a suitable technique for his practice in Canglan City.
Sometimes, it is not that the more mysterious and profound the skills, the better. The more important thing is to find the skills that suit your current stage of cultivation.
Although Taoist Aoki is only a peak figure at the ninth level of Wu Man, and may not have hope of entering the Return of the Body Realm in this life, his book "The Remnant Interpretation of the Dao Yuan" almost fully explains the principles of martial arts in the True Yang Realm, and Chen Xun benefits greatly from it.
He believed that among the millions of people in Canglan City, there would never be no such capable and strangers.
Chen Xun had actually considered it a long time ago that even if he could not enter the school, he would have to settle in Canglan City for the time being. However, Zong Ya, Zong Ling and Nanxi had the original plan to enter Canglan Academy, and if he could not enter Canglan Academy, he would return to the black python.
In comparison, Zuoji tribe is more comprehensive in consideration. Zuoqiu led his team to Canglan City, and he was already considering the matter of establishing a foothold.
Although the Zuoji tribe did not have the powerful Tianman who entered the Return of the Body Realm, as a tribe with more than 10,000 tribes, it is also one of the few large tribes in the North Mountain of Mangyaling. The number of middle and upper-level barbarian martial arts in the Zuoji tribe who enlightened the barbarian soul is far greater than that of Heishan. The black python. Whether it is foresight or the rules for the future, it is indeed stronger than that of Wujiang and Heishan.
Zuo Qiu looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his strength was not that he had already advanced to the upper level of barbarian martial arts, but that his personal knowledge and courage were better than Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya and others.
Faced with the sniping of the Guixi tribe, Zuoqiu gathered the children of the Beishan tribe at a critical moment to seek survival, and insisted on Chen Xun's arrival for help.
After only half a month entering Canglan City, Zuoqiu had already started to make a decision. It was indeed more careful and planned than other young men. No wonder the children of Beishan were able to gather around him and not disperse.
******************************
Chen Xun planned to stay in Canglan City for the time being, but he wanted to practice and needed the quiet room to be free from interference from others.
The yard in Nancheng is too simple, with only six or seven thatched huts and huts. Except for the animal skin tent, almost five or six people squeezed into a hut house and slept on the ground.
With such a simple yard, it is extremely difficult for everyone to squeeze into it, let alone practice meditation.
However, Chen Xun could not live separately from Zuo Qiu and the others at this time.
In addition to being assured that he would not be safe from Zong Ya and Zong Ling and the others, he wanted to find a place to practice in Canglan City, and now he could only live with Zuo Qiu and the others.
There were mixed fish and dragons in Canglan City. Not only did the Gui Xi tribe stare at them, but Su Quan, who had high power and heavy rank, also hated him.
When Su Tang made a fuss, no one in Canglan was blind and he came to cause trouble openly, but if he didn't join forces with Zuo Qiu and the others and left the order, nothing would be said.
In Canglan City, in addition to the forces of the Su family, Canglan Academy and various major tribes, in addition to the sects and small and medium-sized clans that are rooted here, there are countless casual cultivators, evil cultivators, and even other sects and aristocratic clans potentially in the secret forces.
Su Quan and Gui Xi tribe didn't even have to send people to attack directly. As long as they spread their whereabouts and the news of carrying a large number of talismans and spiritual pills, they would be forced to flee.
As long as there are enough temptations for profit, those casual and evil cultivators who have no roots to catch will not worry about Su Tang being the direct disciple of the Su family ancestor.
After they succeeded, they would have to go far away and stay in another sect territory, and never enter the land of Canglan. Su Tang was the direct descendant of the Su family ancestor. No matter how high his cultivation level was, what could he do to them?
If Chen Xun really thought that holding Su Tang's thighs would lead to a foothold in Canglan City, he would be just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old innocent boy.
If you think seriously, he should be twenty-five years old this year. His mind will not be as simple as Su Tang, nor will he be like Zong Ya and the others who are straightforward, ignorant and unable to see through people's hearts.
************************
It soon became dark, and several children ran out to buy wine and meat. Everyone sat on the ground, grabbing meat and drinking. Only Zuoqiu, who was cautious, arranged for people to stand in the yard to guard the yard.
Chen Xun walked out of the yard and noticed that some people were sneaking around the alleyway. He didn't know if there was any eyeliner from Gui Xi's tribe. He knew that Zuoqiu's caution was necessary.
With Zuo Qiu here, he doesn’t need to have too much heart to practice with peace of mind.
Soon, Ge Yi personally brought two escorts, led two camel horses, raised fire to the south city, and sent Chen Xun's miscellaneous belongings in the other courtyard back.
The other things that Chen Xun and the others stayed in the other courtyard were not convenient to carry with them, except for the bronze medicine furnace, heavy-headed spear, iron-tied giant bow and other things, which were inconvenient to carry. However, the two camel horses carried heavy objects and the animal skin was wrapped firmly.
After he untied it, Chen Xun discovered that in addition to the things they left in the other courtyard, Ge Yi also packed and delivered them to him.
"The robes and four academic seals you wear are very precious, and they will be taken back by Su Wuwei Mansion. However, the miscellaneous items you use in your residence in other courtyards are not convenient for other disciples to use. I will pack them all for you to send them. See if there are any missing things..." Ge Yi said.
"I'm sorry, Ge Ye." Chen Xun bowed and thanked him.
Su Wuwei Mansion took back the seal of the Academy, and the velvet was not surprised by him, but these hundreds of silk books that seemed ordinary to others were far more precious than the seal of the Academy. The velvet was ten times more precious than the seal of the Academy, and he was full of gratitude to Ge Yi.
Ge Yigui was the deacon of Su Wuwei Mansion. As Su Qingfeng's right-hand man, he even took the risk of being shot to death by Su Quan on the spot today, and wanted to stop Loujiu from taking the opportunity to attack the children of Beishan. What else could he have besides being grateful?
Zuoqiu and others were also very grateful to Ge Yi.
Although Ge Yi was the first arrangement of the children of Beishan to participate in the bloody trial, everyone knew in their hearts that Ge Yi was just acting on the orders of the Su family.
“It’s too simple here…”
Ge Yi walked into the yard, and the sparse hedge walls surrounded a muddy mud land, and several huts and grass walls were ventilated. In two months, summer would begin, and the animal skins and tents would be stuffy and hot. He didn't know how these forty or fifty Beishan children would live in this yard.
Now that the Thirteenth Master is out of trouble, I don’t know when I will return to Canglan City. How to deal with the Fourth Master’s difficulties is not something Ge Yi can make a decision.
However, although Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng and others were expelled from the Canglan Academy, as representatives of the children of the Beishan tribe, he was also a cultivator and lived in the Nancheng, where fish and dragons were mixed, which really made him a little worried.
Ge Yi told Chen Xun and others about some of the situations in Canglan City.
Only then did Chen Xun realize that Canglan City is so vast, but the most crowded and dilapidated Nancheng is home to untouchables, slaves, and foreigners with extremely low status, as well as great bandits, evil cultivators, and wandering criminals who are not restricted by the Su family, all hiding in the Nancheng.
The Gui Xi tribe and the Fourth Master will not deal with them openly, but it is hard to say what happens when they live in the chaotic Nancheng; and if anything happens, the Fourth Master and the Gui Xi tribe can shirk responsibility.
The North City is controlled by the San Ling and Liu Weifu Mansion and the direct lineage of the Su family, and is the real core of Canglan City. However, most of the small and medium-sized clans, sects and forces in the city, as well as the casual cultivators who flocked to Canglan, and the business travelers who traveled to Yunzhou and the Western Wilderness lived in Dongcheng and Xicheng, and that was Canglan's main city.
Untouchables, slaves, and traitors in the South City are usually prohibited from entering the main city at will; even if they are ordered to enter, they cannot spend the night in the main city.
If there are still residents of the South City who are stranded in the main city after the curfew, they will easily be arrested by the patrol soldiers and will be jailed for a few days and paid a fine to release the person. If the worst is, they will be beaten to death on the spot.
Compared with the chaos in the Nancheng, the area of the main city is three times larger, with only 300,000 to 400,000 people living there. In addition, the Lu Ling Mansion is responsible for public security, scattered cultivators and evil cultivators rarely dare to cause trouble in the main city.
The Gui Xi tribe no longer expects to take back the seven talisman tools and three Nine Yuan Jiaojiao Pills on Chen Xun and the others, but they are afraid that the news will be released soon to indulge the dispersed cultivators and the evil cultivators to attack Chen Xun and the others.
Chen Xun and his team stayed in Nancheng for one more day, which would be a little more dangerous.
"There is a yard near my house, with six separate yards in front, back and forth, and it can barely accommodate forty or fifty people, only a thousand gold," said Ge Yi. "I went to the other yard to pack up your things for you. There are a few not-even important utensils, which are almost worth thousand gold..."
Only when it comes to cultivation resources can the Tiangang talisman money be used to determine the price; in secular life, buying a house, a thousand gold is actually a thousand pounds of bronze.
