Hongmeng is a city with 90 states. This city is Tianhong city.
Located in the hinterland of the Hongmeng Kingdom and on the coast of the vast inland sea, a city is a famous giant city that gathers numerous elites from the Hongmeng kingdom. It has been standing in the world since the days of the demon king court tens of thousands of years ago, witnessing the vicissitudes of the world, the prosperity of the world, the rise of the wind and the flow of blood. When time goes by, my old friend is gone, only this one has a name The greatest city in history still stands here, quietly.
This day is dusk.
The setting sun goes down to the west, reflecting red for a long time. It is reflected on the blue inland sea, reflecting the magnificent and attractive brilliance. It makes people dizzy. The faint afterglow shines on the boundless seaside city from a distance.
When the golden light is shining again on the array Island, the huge golden light with the ancient boundless smell gushes up like a volcano. A group of people appear in the ancient teleportation array that has experienced many years of wind, frost, rain and snow.
Shen Shi, Du Tiejian and, of course, the little black pig were standing in the crowd. However, around them, others were a little far away from them intentionally or unintentionally. Most of the reasons were due to Du Tiejian, a bald man who was arrogantly carrying the huge black iron sword. It was not easy to offend.
Although most of the people who can ride the ancient teleportation array are monks, it is better to do more than less when walking outside.
This ancient teleportation array is a special channel between Heihe Kingdom and Hongmeng kingdom. When the golden light gradually dissipates and the surrounding atmosphere stabilizes, the crowd suddenly dissipates. Shen Shi took a few steps outside, turned his head and looked around. He found that he was on a large island, crescent shaped, in the inner sea. Along the edge of the island, there is an ancient transmission array every tens of feet. From a distance, although there are some subtle or slight differences, almost every array covers an area of about 20 mu. The golden light flickers and flows, which is the luster of the magic golden tire stone.
Even at the foot where they are now stepping, the semicircular middle square surrounded by a large array of Dharma is glittering with gold, and all of them are stone seats made of gold placers.
The sea is blue and clear. Waves of water flow gently up to the island. The beach on the edge of the island recedes slowly. Sometimes people can't help thinking, has it been like this for millions of years?
On the square of the array Island, with Shen Shi and them walking out, you can see the golden light in the circle of ancient teleportation array around you from time to time. It seems that you are in a fantastic and strange place. Maybe not long after that, when the atmosphere of the boundless rises again, a group of friars from another strange world come here and go to the famous city not far away.
Yes, Tianhong city is not far away, or to be exact, array island. On the west side of Tianhong City, in the sea outside the city, a long white jade bridge crosses several miles of the sea, connecting array island with the coast like a white dragon.
Du Tiejian and Shen Shi walked to the long bridge across the sea. The bridge was very spacious, and it was hundreds of feet. I was afraid that even if there were thousands of people walking here, they would not feel particularly crowded. The beautiful relief paintings on the railings on both sides are lifelike. You can see that they are the work of a great craftsman. It seems that the wind, frost, rain and snow can't take away their power. By contrast, only the jade bridge decks on which you step may be old and dilapidated because there are too many people walking by and wear marks can be seen everywhere.
The setting sun falls on the white jade bridge, and the tide of the sea surges gently under the bridge. It is as beautiful as a picture, and it is like a person in a picture.
Du Tiejian took Shen Shi to one side of the railing, looked at the beautiful scenery of the setting sun and sunset, and said, "have you ever been to Tianhong city before?"
Shen Shi shook his head, while shocked by the magnificent spectacle, while honestly said: "no, this is the first time to come."
Du Tiejian pointed to the setting sun at the end of the sea level and the bridge beside him with a smile and said: "Tianhong city is the first famous city in Hongmeng, with endless prosperity and ten famous sceneries of Tianhong. This" sunset of Longqiao "is one of them."
Shen Shi nodded and looked at the beautiful scenery of the world. He couldn't help exclaiming: "it really deserves the reputation. It's really an eye opener."
Du Tiejian smiles, taps him on the shoulder and takes Shen Shi forward. At the same time, he says, "when I was young, when I first came here, I was almost in the same mood as you are now."
As they walked along, the light and shadow on the dragon bridge turned, and gradually a magnificent city appeared at the end of the bridge in the distance.
Tianhong City, a city with numerous glories and records of endless romance and prosperity, appeared in Shen Shi's eyes for the first time.
The first thing you see is the towering and majestic city wall.
It was a wall that Shen Shi had never seen in his life, even though he had seen it in books and classics when he was young, but it was still unimaginable.
It is more than a hundred feet high and stretches thousands of miles.
In all the books, when describing the wall of Tianhong City, there are two sentences.Now, at this moment, now, Shen Shi finally saw it, and then, like everyone who arrived here for the first time, he was shocked by this magnificent city, which almost exceeded the limit of imagination.
As they got closer and closer, the city became clear in the setting sun. The huge blue gray city wall went straight into the sky, and at the same time extended to the surrounding, as if it had been extended to the end of the world.
It seems that the whole sky is divided into two parts by this huge wall, half outside the city and half inside the city.
Du Tiejian's voice still reverberated gently in Shen Shi's ear. With a kind of plain and slightly lazy voice, he casually told him the well-known great deeds of this famous city.
"The wall was built by the demons tens of thousands of years ago. I don't know what methods they used in those years. In a word, it's amazing that it still stands today. The city wall is one of the innumerable bizarre things that the royal court demons did in those years
"It stretches thousands of miles, wrapping up the whole city of Tianhong, which is just like the size of a state, so it's called the Great Wall."
"The Great Wall..." Shen Shi looked at the magnificent wall, and felt that he was as small and fragile as a mole ant. He thought that it was the ancestors of the demon clan who built such a miracle building in those years, and his mood was a little complicated for a moment.
Du Tiejian looked at the Great Wall. Although he was impressed by it in his eyes, he gave a slight sneer on his mouth and said: "although the Great Wall is great, it's very ancient and unique, but it never really has the ability of defense. It's just the play of the demons in the past. Such a huge and towering building is just a show off. In those years, the battle of human demons was finally fought here. Although the Great Wall was strong and tall, there were loopholes everywhere and there was no defense at all. Then our human army directly entered the city and went straight into the demon palace. "
Shen Shi was silent. Du Tiejian said with a smile. He led him all the way and told him about the general situation of Tianhong city.
It has a long history that one city should be one state in Tianhong city. It is widely spread in Hongmeng circles and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although there are exaggerations, they are almost the same in general.
This famous city is really huge, far more than all the cities in the world.
The Great Wall is the boundary of the city, which contains huge land. There are even two rolling mountains. Before the days of the demon king court, most of the people gathered in the city were the royal court demons. Now, it is the world of human race. With the passing of thousands of years, the city is not only not weak, but also more prosperous. Countless human races gather here from all directions, it is true It's no exaggeration to gather the elites of the world.
Up to now, the population living in Tianhong city is already countless. Some people even say that the population of this city is several times that of an ordinary state, and the dense houses are not only in Tianhong City, but also in those places outside the Great Wall. Now there are countless old and new houses spreading away, forming a vast and prosperous place.
For convenience, the Terran roughly divided the huge city into four parts, named after the four prime ministers of Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque and Xuanwu. According to Du Tiejian's introduction, Qinglong district is east of Tianhong, where the main body is a tall and majestic Qinglong mountain range. In the era of TIANYAO royal court, it was the Royal Palace of the demon clan, and now it has become a labyrinth of ruins. It is said that because the war in the past was too bloody, there were countless ghosts and ghosts, and they were cursed with venom and blood by the extinct demons, so the whole Qinglong mountain could not be inhabited. In the ruins of the demon emperor's palace, there were many ghosts and ghosts, and there were all kinds of demons and ghosts. It is said that in the past, there were countless treasures in the demon emperor's palace How many Terran friars have come to explore and find treasure.
In addition, Baihu District in the north and Zhuque District in the West are all prosperous places. In particular, numerous shops in Baihu District gather to form the most prosperous square city in the world, and even the main hall of Hongmeng first chamber of Commerce. There are countless spiritual talents gathered here, no matter what you have heard or never heard, what you think or never thought. Everything can be found in this magical place, provided you have enough spiritual crystals.
It is said that in Tianhong City, there is a saying that with Lingjing, there is everything.
In addition to these three places, the last one is the Xuanwu District in the south, but it is somewhat different. It is said that there are many high gates, aristocratic families gather here, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger are unfathomable, and the scenery is quiet. It is the quietest place in Tianhong city.
With that, Shen Shi and Du Tiejian have already come under the Great Wall.
Along the way, outside the city wall, on both sides of the road, Shen Shi saw the continuous and bustling houses and buildings, which were the same as those in ordinary cities. It was obvious that there were so many people that even the vast Tianhong city could not accommodate them, so he simply lived outside the city.
Not far ahead, a city gate seems to be open forever, handling countless passers-by.
Shen Shi takes a look at the huge gate, and suddenly he has no reason to think how many people rushed into the city from here when the Terran army besieged Tianhong city ten thousand years ago? On the edge of the city gate, the blue gray stone wall is silent, and those vague traces seem to have been annihilated in the years.In this way, in the afterglow of the setting sun, for the first time in his life, he walked into this city, into Tianhong city.
After entering the city, Du Tiejian and Shen Shi didn't go directly to the teleportation array back to Haizhou. The teleportation arrays built by the Terrans can only be carried across states. At this moment, the sun is setting and it's getting late. According to Du Tiejian, they can only go back tomorrow morning.
It's obviously not the first time that Du Tiejian has come to Tianhong city. He seems to be very familiar with this place. At the moment, they enter the city from the direction of the dragon bridge of the array island. From the orientation, they should be in the Zhuque District of the Fourth District of Tianhong. In the dusk, Du Tiejian and Shen Shi turn left and right on the street, and soon leave the main road. They turn into a narrow and remote road In the alleys of the city.
Shen Shi has some doubts in his heart. He takes little black pig with him behind him. He sees that his face is calm, but his eyes are brightening up gradually. He seems to be excited and his steps speed up. He makes little black pig groan behind him.
The ground of the alley is made of stone slabs. Although it is narrow and small, it is very clean. It is not as dirty as imagined. There are not many families on both sides, but the high walls stand up, which looks like the backyard of a large family. Just as Shen Shi was thinking wildly, Du Tiejian stopped and stood in front of a window.
There was no door, only a wooden window facing the alley, and it was still closed.
It was very quiet around, and it was a little dark, which made the wooden window look a little blurred.
Du Tiejian's eyes are bright. When he comes to the wooden window, he knocks three times carefully under Shen Shi's surprised gaze.
"Pa pa pa..." A low but clear voice echoed in the alley.
The wooden window didn't move. There was no reaction.
When Shen Shizheng was puzzled, he saw Du Tiejian frowning slightly, then he reached out and knocked twice.
The wooden window was still motionless.
Isn't the person that elder martial brother Du is looking for here? Shen Shi thought so.
After waiting for a while, Du Tiejian found that the window still didn't respond. He thought about it, put his huge black sword aside at will, and then began to knock on the window again and again with amazing patience.
Over and over again, he knocked all the time, making Shen Shi wonder what was in the window. In this way, Du Tiejian had been knocking on the wooden window. I don't know whether it was more than ten times or more than 20 times. Suddenly, with a squeak, the wooden window was suddenly pushed open.
With the opening of the wooden window, a faint fragrance suddenly drifted away and diffused in the alley. Shen Shi's face suddenly changed slightly. It seemed that he had some familiar feeling.
It's the smell of wine.
An angry voice came out of the wooden window and said angrily, "son of a bitch, are you bored? I don't know if I can only sell wine in the daytime. I won't do business at this time!"
From the meeting to now, in Shen Shi's eyes, Du Tiejian has always been very powerful and magnanimous. Suddenly, his face even shows a sense of losing a smile. He laughs at the man in the wooden window and says: "I'm late for something? Come on, I've known you for so many years. What are the selling points? "
"Not for sale!"
Du Tiejian said with a smile, "if you don't sell it, I'll knock until dawn."
"You..." The man in the window seems to be angry, but he seems to have nothing to do with the bald man. He nags and complains for a while, to the effect that when he was young and ignorant, he knew you, who had bad luck all his life. Du Tiejian doesn't get angry. He stands in the window with a smile, takes out a few Lingjing from his arms and throws them in.
"What kind of wine do you want?" said the man
Du Tiejian obviously swallowed his saliva and said, "the best one you have, Huadiao? Well, Shijing is also good, or... "
In the middle of the conversation, the man in the window suddenly interrupted him and said, "I've made a new wine recently. It's quite new. It's different from the past. The taste should be excellent. It hasn't been sold yet. Do you want to..."
Du Tiejian leaned forward and was overjoyed. Seeing that his bald head was shining a little, he was more conspicuous in the night. He said with a smile, "if you want to, you can't do anything else. This wine making skill is absolutely unique in the world. Give me some!"
"Hum..." The man in the window snorted. Although he seemed disdainful, he could still feel a sense of complacency in his voice.
After a while, a green wine gourd was suddenly thrown out of the wooden window. Du Tiejian caught it, eagerly pulled out the plug, and suddenly a fragrance came out. Even if Shen Shi stood a little far away, he could smell it. He felt that it was different from the previous wine. The mellow flavor was slightly reduced, and the fragrance was better than it. Although he didn't drink it, he was hearty Wind bamboo, a verdant, quiet and elegant, refreshing.
Before I knew it, my mouth was sweet.
Du Tiejian inhaled deeply, his eyes closed slightly, as if he was half drunk. He couldn't help breathing out and exclaiming: "this taste is good wine if you don't drink it. Good guy, this skill is getting better and better."The man in the window sneered and said, "nonsense, you have to say it."
Du Tiejian said with a smile: "this wine is different. What's its name?"
The man in the window stopped for a moment and said:
"bamboo leaves are green."
