Chapter 1130 Wearing the City of Sin (2)
This city is extremely grand, and the thickness and height of the city walls are comparable to those of the Huangtai Fort back then.
Moreover, the entire city has three layers of walls. The innermost layer is called the "inner castle" and is where the real rich and powerful live. The farther outside, the poorer and weaker the residents become.
If a beast tide forms in the Silent Mountain and breaks through the city wall, the first to be unlucky will be the residents at the bottom of the city.
The two beast-hunting warriors Su Yunji left behind were both at the spirit-killing level. One was named Su Cheng and the other was Su Jiushi. They were both slaves of the Su family. They grew up in the Su family and were loyal.
The two of them accompanied Song Zheng very respectfully along the way. When they arrived outside the city, Su Cheng said: "The house that the third lady gave to you is located within the second-layer city wall. It is also a very good place to live in Daisu City." He also said for him.
Su Yunji explained: "It's not that the third lady is unwilling to give the inner castle to you, but because there is really no room in the inner castle, and every piece of land is in the hands of the big family."
Song Zheng smiled indifferently: "This is already very good."
Naturally, Su Cheng had to negotiate the matter of entering the city. The defenders at the city gate did not dare to stop them, but these soldiers were not knowledgeable. After they passed by, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Mang and Huang Shan with some contempt: Country bumpkins, carrying such a big bag on their backs
pocket.
The appearance of Huang Shan and Zhao Mang was not good to begin with. The villagers of Thirty-Six Village in the Wild Village have been struggling on the line of life and death all year round, and their faces are covered with frost and frost. Not to mention that Zhao Mang also lost an arm.
But Song Zheng was clearly carrying two servants, but he was still carrying a small baggage. He looked like a miser, entering the city for the first time.
Of course Su Cheng and Su Jiushi would not think so, nor would they deliberately try to help Song Zheng pick up the baggage. They saw with their own eyes Song Zheng and the third lady talking about the business of Tianba Demon Ape, a big deal with 16 million spiritual coins.
Song Zheng didn't blink an eye when it came to buying and selling. The baggage he had to carry personally must be no small matter.
The first floor of the city wall has the largest area, and it is also the liveliest place. Although it is already evening, people are still coming and going, vendors carrying burdens are still selling along the street, and the shops on both sides are also doing brisk business.
Su Cheng introduced: "There are actually many big businessmen in the outer layer. They have accumulated huge wealth by relying on the products in the Silent Mountain. However, these people have only risen for a short time and have no power, so they can only live in the outer layer.
Daisu City has a population of three million, more than 70% of which are in the outer layer."
Song Zheng took a look and saw that on the outer city wall, soldiers were constantly patrolling. There was a fortress at regular intervals, and powerful weapons should be placed inside. The defensive power was absolutely powerful.
Once in the city, the power of the Su family was revealed. Su Cheng quickly found a shop, which was the property of the Su family. He ordered a few armored wolves and distributed them to Song Zheng and the five people. The speed was greatly increased, and he used
After half an hour, we passed through the outer city and reached the second level of the city wall.
The guards and inspections here are obviously much stricter. Residents in the outer layer who want to enter the middle layer must truthfully report the purpose of entering and the estimated time of departure.
However, these interrogations were in vain in the name of the Su family, and Song Zheng and the others entered the city smoothly. Just like in the outer city, the people here had a hint of contempt in their eyes when they saw Zhao Mang and Huang Shan.
After they walked past, the guards started joking: "It's probably a few guards from the Su family, using the name of the Su family, bringing poor relatives in to see the world."
This kind of thing happens every day and is not uncommon. Even if they see through it, they don't bother to take care of it.
The house that Su Yunji gave to Song Zheng is in a secluded alley in the east of the city. The houses in this area are expensive at first glance. They not only have an elegant environment, but also have tall walls. The streets in front are patrolled by city guards.
The security is excellent.
There are servants and maids in the house. It is an outhouse of Su Yunji, and she sometimes comes to stay for a few days.
Song Zheng and his party settled in smoothly and spent the night without talking.
In the dead of night, Song Zheng did not fall asleep. He was lying on the bed thinking about his next plan: how to find Tianhuo, or how to let Tianhuo discover him.
Early the next morning, he called Su Cheng and Su Jiushi over: "Are there any lively teahouses or theaters here?"
"Yes," Su Cheng said, "Baijialou's breakfast is pretty good. Can I take you there?"
"good."
Baijialou is a very famous teahouse in the middle floor. There are already many customers in the morning. It serves a variety of teas and some simple meals. The breakfast is very special, and the waiter also recommended a "medicine" to them.
"Porridge" is also a kind of medicinal diet, which is said to improve strength.
But it was expensive. A small bowl cost ten spiritual coins. Song Zheng asked for seven bowls and everyone tried it together.
Song Xiaosheng and Song Xiaotian took a sip, frowned in disgust, and stopped drinking. Compared with the meat soup they had eaten in the village before, this medicinal porridge was more than a little inferior.
Song Zheng also secretly shook his head. The main ingredients of this kind of medicinal porridge should be some spiritual beasts at the level of destroying souls. However, the formula is more sophisticated and complex. The effect can only be said to be better than nothing.
On the other hand, Su Cheng and Su Jiushi were very embarrassed. They thanked Song Zheng seriously for the "reward", and then ate carefully one bite at a time, finishing the small bowl.
Although the Su family has a distinguished status, those real resources are provided to the direct descendants of the Su family. Their slaves cannot eat medicinal food on weekdays.
There were people telling stories and singing songs in the teahouse, which was very lively. After Song Zheng had breakfast, he ordered a pot of tea and drank it slowly while listening to the conversations of the guests around him.
Even if his various magical powers cannot be used, his hearing is still very powerful. With a pair of ears, he can clearly hear the words of everyone on the three floors above and below the Bai family building. By noon, he has roughly understood the world.
It is actually boundless. The scope that people are exploring now is called the "light realm", and beyond the light realm, there is the endless "dark zone".
Every moment, someone bravely walks into the dark zone. Most of these people are desperate. If they can find some treasures in the dark zone, they can solve all the difficulties they face.
There are also some people who are full of adventurous spirit and hope to find an area in the dark area where they can build a city, so that they can really become rich overnight and become one of the top beings in the entire light field.
Now in the field of light, there are a total of twelve "imperial cities", thirty-six "royal cities", and nearly a hundred ordinary cities. Daisu City is one of the ordinary cities.
This used to be the most fringe area of the Light Realm, where criminals from various cities were exiled. So it was called the "City of Sin".
But that was all hundreds of years ago. Now the scope of the entire light field has greatly increased, and Daisu City is already considered the hinterland of the field.
After understanding the general situation of the entire world, Song Zheng began to focus on whether there were any abnormal situations occurring in various places.
He believed that even if a monster like Skyfire entered this world, it would not be "obscure" and it would definitely cause something.
However, after listening to it, he burst into laughter, because there are so many abnormal situations in this world that it is impossible to distinguish among them which ones may be the work of Tianhuo.
It seems that I can only do something myself to attract Tianhuo's attention.
…
In the inner castle, there is a huge house built with pure black boulders.
Due to the reasons in the early years of Daisu City, unlike the entire bright realm where white is the most beautiful color, black is the most respected here. This kind of pitch-black rock comes from the Silent Demon Mountain. Although it is not very dangerous within a hundred miles of the mountain,
But building a huge residence so extravagantly can also show the luxury of the owner.
Su Yunji was kneeling outside one of the tall houses. In addition to her, there were many direct descendants of the Su family.
In fact, all the really important people in the entire Su family are here.
In that huge house, the fire was blazing, using the finest "crystal coal" as fuel, without a trace of black smoke, and the flame had special effects.
There is a special copper pot on the flame, and medicinal food is being cooked in it. The fragrance wafts out in waves, and just one sniff can make people feel refreshed.
An old man in a black loose robe was holding this strange wooden spoon and constantly stirring the medicinal food.
When the fire was almost done, the old man put three essence fire red fruits into the medicinal meal. A special flame aura rose into the sky, and the old man accelerated the stirring speed.
About a quarter of an hour later, the medicated meal was cooked, and the old man took a bowl and brought it in. There was a violent coughing sound in the inner room, but it got better after drinking the medicated meal.
Outside the big house, all the Su family members were looking inside eagerly. Whether they could succeed this time would affect the prosperity and wealth of the Su family in the next few decades.
Finally, an old woman walked out of it with a relieved smile on her face: "Ancestor, you have survived this test!"
The Su family cheered.
Su Yunji also let out a sigh of relief and showed a bright smile. This time she made a desperate move to enter the Silent Mountain to pick the Essence Fire Crimson Fruit, and finally pleased her ancestors. She thought that her ranking among the heirs could be moved up again.
Soon, the old woman said again: "Boss, second brother, and Yun Ji, you come in, our ancestors want to see you."
The eldest and second eldest in her mouth are the two top-ranked descendants of the 20th generation of the Su family. Su Yunji is one generation behind them. She followed her two uncles and walked in. The aroma of medicinal food made people excited.
.
In the inner room, there was an old man lying on the bed. His whole body was dry and he looked extremely ill, but his eyes were filled with restrained energy. He was obviously a strong man who was nearing the end of his life but whose strength had not diminished.
"Father!"
"Grandpa." The three of them bowed to each other.
