Chapter 535
The streets on both sides of the edge of Yuanhuang Outer City are full of mud. Most of them are low-rise houses with black bricks and black tiles. These are mundane things, not worth looking at.
The farther you go to the inner city, the road becomes wider and more regular, and the buildings on both sides become taller and more beautiful. However, compared with other continents in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory, the architectural style here is obviously different. difference.
There are few circular pillars in the houses here, and there are no common auspicious animal statues on the cornices, and there are no brick carvings on the walls. The overall style is simpler and rougher, less delicate and ingenious.
The decorations on the streets on both sides, the things for sale, without exception, show the difference between this place and other continents.
Although the sky is getting dark, there are not many pedestrians on the street. After some observation, Han Li found that there are quite a few people of foreign races who are not common in other places in Beihan Immortal Territory, and they have not left yet. After a distance of several hundred feet, he has already seen many aliens with strange clothes and strange looks one after another.
However, Han Li was not surprised when he thought that this was a frontier of the Northern Cold Immortal Territory.
"Uncle, it smells so good..." Jin Tong called out as his little nose wrinkled as soon as he finished eating the candied haws.
After saying a word, her whole body has already rushed out and came to a stall on the street.
"Hey, do you want two skewers, girl?" A thick, dark-skinned man stood behind the booth and asked with a smile.
Han Li followed up to take a look, and saw a huge copper pot with boiling oil next to the booth, and a large pile of freshly fried food on the table next to it. Exudes a seductive aroma.
After watching for a while, Han Li frowned.
There were joints the size of an adult's arm, giant claws the size of a desk table, and eyes of unknown beasts, all of which were fried until they were brown and crisp.
"Do you want to eat this?" Han Li asked.
"Well, I'll take it all! Uncle, pay the bill!" Jin Tong said with a wave of his little hand, having already moved his index finger.
When the voice fell, she had already collected all the weird food on the table into the storage bracelet.
Seeing this, Han Li smiled helplessly, paid the bill to the surprised man, and continued towards the inner city with the golden boy full of satisfaction.
The more people went to the insider, the more pedestrians were on the road, the voices of hawkers in various tones and accents came and went, and there were many shouts and quarrels in between. Are not the same.
There are many tiles and tiles between many alleys, and there are many beautifully dressed pink ladies standing at the door or upstairs, leaning on the railings to call softly, or waving their fans and sleeves to attract patrons in soft voices.
There are many mortals in the outer city, and although there are also many monks, most of them are not high-level. Han Li failed to find any useful news all the way, so he simply rose against the wind, grabbed the golden boy and ran directly to the inner city. .
While flying high in the sky, Han Li frowned suddenly and couldn't help muttering, "I never thought that Yuanhuang City would be such a complicated formation... With the Great Wall as the pivot and the eighteen main streets as the base, the larger the city area, the more stable the formation will be, no wonder we had to build a city wall, it's wonderful..."
"Uncle, what's so good?" Jin Tong asked, holding a giant claw that had been fried golden in his hand, and was gnawing on it.
"Eat yours..." Han Li said with a smile.
Compared with the outer city, the buildings in the inner city have become much more refined. There are also many sculptures and decorations on the corners, eaves, beams and painted buildings, but the carvings are all fierce beasts with unique shapes. Han Li is actually most of them. never seen it.
The restaurants and shops on both sides of the street have also been turned into three-story attics, with some inns with deep courtyards in between.
What surprised Han Li the most was that almost every few streets, in the busiest places in the streets, there would be a huge circular building.
These buildings usually only have one gate in each of the four directions, and the walls are engraved with runes for reinforcement everywhere, and from time to time there will be cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami.
"Uncle, it seems to be very lively here, let's go in and have a look!" Jin Tong said, a little moved by the voice.
"It's just some gambling venues, just like ordinary people in the market catch wild dogs and chickens, put them together and let them bite, and the onlookers place bets to guess who will win or lose." Han Li shook his head and said.
"Oh." After hearing this explanation, Jin Tong immediately lost interest.
"I've been traveling so much these days, let's take a rest in this city tonight. I'll think about going out of the city tomorrow and go to the Wilderness Realm." Han Li looked up at the starry night and said.
"Uncle, you can decide. I'm full and sleepy, and I'm going to sleep." Jin Tong had no objection to this, and he had nothing to say.
After saying that, she shrank directly and turned into a golden beetle several inches in size, and clasped it on Han Li's finger, turning it into a golden ring.
Han Li smiled helplessly and walked towards the center of the city.
The further you go to the center of the city, the buildings on the street become sparser.
Han Li knew in his heart that this was not because the inner city was not prosperous enough, but because the buildings in the core area of the inner city were all built according to the layout of the huge magic circle, so they could not be changed at will, and naturally it would not be crowded and expanded. .
Walking to a street corner, Han Li saw a tall vermilion gatehouse standing in the alley, with dragons and phoenixes on the pillars, carved with brocade clusters of flowers, and three big characters "Smoke Garden" written in the middle .
There was a blue light flashing in Han Li's eyes, and he saw the area behind the alley through the gatehouse. The vitality of the world was abundant, far better than other places around him, so he walked towards the gatehouse.
When he approached the door, he noticed that there was actually a black wooden sign beside it, with a line of writing written on it:
"This garden only accepts monks above Huashen."
He shook his head with a smile, and walked in.
Once inside the entrance building, the light suddenly brightened, Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw a slender, beautiful female cultivator in court attire, Shi Shiran came in front of him.
"The honored guest is coming, I'm sorry to welcome you." The female cultivator bowed slightly to him and said.
His speech and gestures are quite respectful, and people can't find any faults, but the smile on his face is too formal, like a standard posture that has been formed for a long time, which makes people feel a little alienated.
"Is there any room available in the guest room?" Han Li looked around and asked.
"There is a courtyard of guest rooms in the second-class garden, and the location is quite quiet..." the female nun in palace costume replied.
"Do guest rooms still have grades? Does the first-class garden have guest courtyards?" Han Li asked with his brows slightly raised.
"Your guest must be new to Yuanhuang City, right? All the fairy inns in this city have an unwritten rule. The guest rooms are divided into four grades, A, B, C, and D. Class A is only open to monks above the real immortal, so... as you For the level of cultivation in the Mahayana period, the second-class guest room is most suitable." The female nun in palace attire said with a slightly apologetic bow.
"So that's it, it's okay, let's lead the way." Han Li said with a smile when he heard this.
He didn't care too much about the residence, after all, he just planned to stay for one night temporarily.
The lady in palace costume hesitated for a moment, but she still said, "Your honored guest, don't you want to ask about the price?"
"A table of wine and banquet will be arranged in a while, and we will settle the bill together when we leave tomorrow." Han Li said indifferently.
"Okay. Honorable guests, please come with me." The palace dress nun bowed again and said.
After finishing speaking, she led Han Li out of the back hall, and walked slowly towards the back courtyard along a winding corridor.
"Since the distinguished guest has just arrived, why don't you stay in this Yuanhuang city for a few more days? There are still some places worth visiting in this city. It would be a pity if the distinguished guest does not visit." In front of the seat, he opened his mouth and said.
"Then Miss Lao will explain." Han Li said casually.
"The earliest date of this Yuanhuang City's construction is untestable. It has been destroyed many times in history by wars between monks and savage beasts. The current city is also destroyed by the last war, among the top sects in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory. With the support, it was rebuilt." The female cultivator said while leading the way slowly.
"Have wild beasts invaded Yuanhuang City many times?" Han Li asked with a thought.
"That's right. It is said that under the leadership of some wild spirits, they took the initiative to fight into Yuanhuang City. However, it has been too many years since the last large-scale war, and many people probably don't remember it." The female cultivator nodded.
"So, this Yuanhuang City is under the joint control of all the sects?" Han Li suddenly remembered something and asked.
"That's not the case. The location of Yuanhuang City is too special. Now its manager is the City Lord's Mansion, and it is not restricted by the major sects. However, its relationship with the major sects is also good, and it has always been able to maintain stability." Female nun explained.
"What about the Immortal Palace, isn't there a supervisory responsibility for this place?" Han Li asked again.
"Northern Han Immortal Palace wants to get involved. On the one hand, the major sects don't allow it, and on the other hand, the city master of Yuanhuang City is also a monk at the peak of Jinxian, so they are powerless. But..." The palace costume female cultivator said here, He hesitated for a moment.
"But what?" Han Li actually guessed what he wanted to say later, but he still asked.
"It's not a secret that can't be said... Something happened to the Candle Dragon Dao before, and the situation in the Northern Cold Immortal Territory may change, and the Yuanhuang City may not be affected." The female cultivator slowed down and said worriedly.
After hearing this, Han Li felt a little relieved in his heart.
From this point of view, the change in Netherfrost Immortal Palace has not spread widely in Beihan Immortal Territory, at least there is no news from Yuanhuang City.
