Chapter 233

As the most powerful country in Dongzhou, Lushan Dynasty occupied the core area in the middle of the whole Dongzhou continent, with a vast territory and 31 governments and 108 prefectures.

Its capital, Tianyu City, is naturally the most prosperous city in the whole Lushan Dynasty and even the whole Dongzhou continent.

The whole Tianyu city covers an area of tens of thousands of miles. It is backed by mountains and water. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is the hub of the East-West intersection of Dongzhou mainland.

The city wall is more than twenty feet high. The whole body is made of blue boulders one foot long and half a foot wide. Each one is like cast iron, which can not be shaken.

Such a majestic city wall, like the body of a giant dragon, extends to both sides along the East and west city gates, reaching thousands of miles of Sanqing mountains in the north and more than 100 Zhang wide Langxie River in the south.

On the city wall, banners were fluttering. Every 50 feet, there was a city tower. Several fully armed soldiers were stationed in it to monitor everything coming and going, and did not let go of the slightest wind and grass.

At this time, when the sun was rising, the golden sunshine poured down from the air, and the vast blue waves injected into the Langxie River were sparkling.

Outside the grand east gate, there are already two long queues of people several miles long.

There are farmers who pick firewood, warriors on horseback, craftsmen with baskets on their backs, and businessmen in carriages... All kinds of people have it, and there is a lot of noise.

Perhaps it is because the time of the immortal promotion ceremony is approaching, and the inventory at the gate of the city has become more and more rigorous. In addition to the soldiers guarding the city, there are many people in blue gossip Taoist clothes. These soldiers are more respectful to the words and deeds of these Taoists.

These Taoists hold a golden Bagua round mirror in their hands. In a flash, a faint golden light will be emitted from it.

Everyone who wants to pass through the gate of the city must not only go through layers of interrogation and inspection by soldiers, but also be illuminated by these Taoists with the golden light in the eight trigrams round mirror before they can be allowed to enter the city.

At this time, a group of more than ten people, surrounded by a luxury carriage, came up from an official road in the distance, drove straight from the middle of two long queues, and went towards the city gate in the direction of the pointing and surprised eyes of the people on both sides.

Shi Mu is at the end of the line.

As he walked, he couldn't stop looking at the magnificent city wall in the distance. Although he looked calm, he was shocked in his heart.

Tianyu city is so spectacular!

Compared with Fengcheng, it is not a city at all. Even the town is a little reluctant.

Cai'er stood on his shoulder and looked around from time to time, but unexpectedly quiet.

In fact, if Shi Mu hadn't warned him in advance and threatened that if he dared to speak indiscriminately when entering the city, he would be caught by the city guards, plucked hair and stewed soup as wine and vegetables. At this time, he didn't know what to make noise.

Liu An, who walked side by side with Shi mu, looked like a light cloud and wind. His face was vaguely absent-minded. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Just when Shi Mu and others were still more than 20 feet away from the city gate, a seemingly ordinary thin man was stopped immediately after being photographed by the Bagua round mirror. Next to him were several soldiers who couldn't help saying they were going to catch him.

"What have I done? Why should you arrest me!" The tall and thin man shouted as he resisted.

Among the people in line, many people were surprised, and Shi Mu was also attracted by it.

At this moment, a man who looked like a garrison general came out and shouted to the tall and thin man:

"What are you arguing about! According to the order of Fengxian cult, anyone suspected of heresy will be charged to * * * * for trial. If his identity is verified, he will be released. The principle is that we would rather catch it wrong than miss it, and those who disobey will be killed on the spot! "

Hearing the speech, the tall and thin man was frightened to show his face. He didn't dare to make any more resistance. He was taken down by two soldiers.

Shi Mu didn't know what the heresy in each other's mouth meant, but he looked at the city guarding general. He had a strong breath and seemed to be a strong man in the early days of his birth.

You know, the congenital warrior is in the state of Qi, but he is respected as the protector of the country. Which one is not a superior existence, but in Tianyu City, the capital of Lushan Dynasty, a city guarding general has congenital accomplishments.

Compared with the two, the higher and the lower see each other.

Soon, Shi Mu and his party were less than ten feet away from the city gate.

"Who, why not line up from both sides!" Seeing this, a gatekeeper pointed to the direction of the convoy and shouted.

Seeing that several soldiers and people in Taoist clothes were about to come forward, the dignified middle-aged man who had been walking on the side of the carriage took the initiative to meet him, took out a golden token the size of a palm from his arms and lifted it at a distance towards the city garrison general.

The garrison general glanced at the golden token and suddenly changed his face. He hurriedly separated the soldiers on both sides, stepped forward and arched his hands at the dignified middle-aged man:

"It's your excellency. Let's go!"

When the voice fell, the soldiers guarding the door and the people with Taoist robes changed their faces and quickly got out of the way.

Soon, under the attention of others, the luxury carriage directly passed through the city gate, and Shi Mu and others naturally followed in without being questioned and checked at all.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the first thing you see is a broad bluestone avenue that can accommodate ten horses in parallel. Not far ahead is a crossroads leading to three directions, where people flow like a shuttle.

At this moment, Liu An walked directly to the middle-aged man beside the carriage, hugged his fist and saluted him:

"Brother Lu, since the motorcade has arrived in Tianyu safely, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Liu Yishi, if you're not in a hurry, why don't you come with me to the house and have a rest? I still have some thin noodles in Tianyu city. If there's anything difficult, maybe I can help you. " The dignified middle-aged man said to stay.

"Brother Lu, you're welcome. I really have something important to do. It's really inconvenient to stay more." Liu An smiled.

When the dignified middle-aged man saw Liu An go, he was very determined and didn't ask him to stay. He took out a brocade bag from his arms and handed it to Liu An.

After Liu an accepted it, he turned to say hello to Shi mu, quickly integrated into the flow of people, and soon disappeared into the vast sea of people.

Next, Shi Mu also stepped forward to say goodbye to the dignified middle-aged man. Naturally, the other party also retained him. Seeing that Shi Mu insisted on leaving, he also paid a reward.

Shi Mu took the brocade bag and glanced a little. There was a silver medium-level talisman and ten early-level stones in it. He couldn't help but be happy

This silver talisman is the blink talisman given by the fire dance princess at the critical moment in the forbidden area of the warrior gate.

He put the brocade bag into the dust ring and walked casually to the street on the right, and the luxury carriage then continued to drive towards the street ahead surrounded by others.

Shi Mu strolled through the streets and looked at the most prosperous city in Dongzhou.

The city is full of people, including many people in royal clothes, luxury carriages and motorcycles full of goods. Traffickers, pawns and xialiba people who lead cars and sell pulp can be seen everywhere along the street.

On both sides of the street are rows of buildings of different heights. There are many kinds of shops. Flags can't see the end at a glance. They opened one after another early in the morning and began to attract customers.

What's more shocking to Shi Mu is that from a distance, you can see that there are many large buildings with five or six floors or even seven or eight floors in the city. You can even see a small mountain with a height of 100 feet in the west of the city. The clouds are shrouded at the top of the mountain, and you can vaguely see the large-scale palaces distributed on it.

Three or four storey buildings are tall in general cities, but they are common here.

Somehow, Shi Mu couldn't help thinking of what he saw along the way since he left the wilderness.

Barren land and sparsely populated villages and towns can be seen everywhere. The mountains that should be full of aura have become dead, and the vegetation has withered. There are not a few small towns like Linshan town.

What impressed him most was that there were large tombs outside many villages and towns, and even many * * * * bones exposed in the wilderness.

That kind of everything forms a sharp contrast with the prosperity here.

"Stone, let's go to the Cuixiang building for dinner. Caier is starving!" At this time, parrot color suddenly sounded in his ear.

It is pointing to a gorgeous restaurant not far away with its wings and its eyes are shining.

"If I remember correctly, you ate a lot before you went to town. Wait until noon." Shi Mu ignored caier.

"Hum, stingy!" Cai'er flapped his wings and flew out angrily.

Shi Mu didn't think so, so he put away his mind and began to go in and out of inns, shops and other places.

Before long, the parrot flew back.

"Stone, someone over there is performing juggling. It's so exciting. Let's go and have a look!" The parrot whined as it circled over Shi Mu's head.

"Stone, it seems that someone is selling gemstones over there. Those gemstones are so beautiful!"

"And there, stone, look, what's that? It seems to be fun!"

……

In the incessant chatter of parrot caier, Shi Mu finally ended his first day in Tianyu city.

Before it was dark, he found an inn at will, rented an independent courtyard and stayed temporarily.

According to the news today, Ximen Xue's disciples who came to attend the ceremony of immortality promotion should be arranged in some post houses distributed all over the city.

It is said that these post houses were specially set up by the Lushan Dynasty for the grand ceremony of immortality promotion.

Because Tianyu city is too big and there are many such posthouses, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone.

However, there are still more than seven months before the magic Yang ceremony is held, and it only takes three or four months to rush back to the Tianmo sect of the Qin state from Tianyu city.

In addition, today, he also learned from the shopkeepers of some shops that the exact start time of the immortality promotion auction will be more than a month later, and there will be demon ape blood essence of high grade for sale at this conference.

This is undoubtedly great news for Shi mu, who is on the fifth floor.

So he planned to inquire about Simon snow while waiting for the auction to begin.
