087. Dismount!

Pegasus City has arrived?

Li Zhen looked around.

The first thing you see is a city that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The city is built on the mountain, and some buildings can be faintly seen in the mountain. And under the foot of the mountain is a city that stretches for countless miles!

The walls of this city are tall, solemn, and thick. They have become a breathtaking black color after being mottled by the years.

The most conspicuous place is the two stone-carved horses on both sides of the city gate where crowds of people are coming and going. The horses' heads are aligned with the city wall. They are extremely tall and look particularly majestic and majestic!

Extending outward from the city gate, including the place where Li Zhen and the others were about to arrive, there were fences one after another filled with horses of various colors and tents placed on the edges.

From a distance, Li Zhen saw many people walking around the fence.

"That is……"

Following Li Zhen's gaze, Shang Nian took a look and said with a smile:

"The horse market. The horse markets in the city are all run by our three sects, while the horse markets outside the city are run by some local small businesses, which are not worth mentioning."

"...You call this not worth mentioning?"

Li Zhen looked at the groups of horses and complained unconsciously:

"It looks like there are a thousand horses!"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Shang Nian squinted his eyes and took a quick glance, and said:

"About three thousand to five. Today is not a big day, and it is still a little deserted during autumn and winter. Only in spring and summer, when the ponies have come down, will the Taoist priest understand that the horse market in Pegasus City is

Why is it known as the most beautiful scenery in the world!"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhen no longer knew what to say.

be honest.

Even as a modern man, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

If you want to say how majestic the buildings of Pegasus City are and how vast its territory is, it is not a rare thing.

The artistic miracles created by modern people are the eternal glorious imprint of the process of human history.

However, the sight of these three to four thousand horses arranged in large and small fences, living in groups, left Li Zhen completely speechless.

To be honest, Li Zhen once visited Inner Mongolia and saw the so-called appearance of cattle and sheep appearing on the wind-blown grassland.

The white sheep and the green grass form a wonderful picture.

But...it was far less shocking to him than at this moment.

That's a sheep, that's a horse!

Thousands of horses!

The so-called "thousands of horses galloping" captured on TV only amount to a few hundred horses.

And there are thousands of them...

But these alone seem to be nothing to Shang Nian.

So what was Pegasus City like when it was most prosperous?

Come to the right place!

He said to himself silently in his heart.

At the same time, looking at Pegasus City getting closer and closer, he understood that it was time to leave.

So he whispered to Shang Nian:

"Principal Shang, I will not say goodbye to Master Sun and the others."

"Well……"

Shang Nian was stunned, but not surprised.

Nod:

"Taoist Priest, do you want to wander around?"

"Exactly."

"Okay, Taoist priest, do you remember where I said it?"

"Of course I remember Fulong Building in Xicheng."

"Yes, it is Fulong Tower. After we handed over the task, we sent a servant to inform him. I think he should be one step ahead of the Taoist priest. It doesn't matter if the servant is delayed. The Taoist priest can just mention Senior Brother Shangnu's name.

"

Li Zhen cupped his fists and raised his hands:

"Thank you, Master Shang."

"Haha~"

Shang Nian grinned and handed over a waist badge:

"Taoist Master, you must never return until you are drunk!"

"must!"

After Li Zhen took it, he cupped his fists and raised his hands, and then pulled the horse's head. The old horse immediately got off the official road and walked towards the fenced market not far away.

After walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the group of inner disciples of the Pegasus Sect behind him, and he also cupped his fists and raised his hands.

The group of people didn't mind seeing Li Zhen leaving. In the past few days, they had already inquired about everyone's situation. They all knew where Taoist Shouchi would stay.

It’s important to go back and hand in the assignment. After you’ve settled in and rested, if you want to listen to a book, just go there and find it.

So everyone returned the favor, rode on their horses, straightened their backs, and walked toward Pegasus City.

It's not parting.

Just to get together better.



"Does the Taoist want to change horses?"

"Just take a look at it."

"Oh, Taoist Master, walk slowly."



"Master Taoist, our Qianxing Trading Company can exchange horses. Your horse is old. I will give you a high price. Come to us to exchange for a new one."

"Thank you, layman. I won't need it for the time being."

"Okay, Taoist Master, if you need anything, just come to us."

"Thank you."

"polite."



"Taoist Priest, we just received a batch of saddles..."



"Hoof care oil ~ Hoof care oil from Distant Relative Trading Company! Number one in Pegasus City!"



"There are currently seventeen pregnant mares, and the stallions are direct bloodlines of Leihumen Leilongzhao!!"



"Forage! There are alfalfa flowers in every bundle!"



"Collect the horse dan! The horse dan! The big horse dan! What a good price! Taoist priest, what's the matter?"

"May I ask...what is this Madan?"

"Oh~ Is it the first time for Taoist priest to come to Pegasus City?"

"Exactly."

"Madan is horse dung."

"...What's the use of collecting this horse manure?"

"Sprinkle the fertilized fertilizer on your own pasture in winter to enrich the water and grass in the coming year. Of course, it is not sprinkled directly. How smelly would it be? It must be processed by the horse-training and elixir harvesting manager of our Zhuifeng Company.

Only then can it work. How about Taoist Master buying some and taking them back to the Taoist temple to plant flowers and vegetables to try?"

"...Thank you, I can just use my own."



It's been a long journey.

Li Zhen really felt that he had learned a lot.

I'm not just saying this in a polite way, I've really learned a lot.

This city has already formed a one-stop industry just by looking at the shops outside the city. As long as it is about horses, everything is done from top to bottom.

And it's very orderly, not messy at all.

Even... even the quality of the employees is very high.

I asked questions along the way, and no matter which business or racecourse the visitor was, he didn't show any impatience...even if he seemed to be just a poor Taoist priest.

Whether this group of people were buying or selling horses, Li Zhen felt the prosperity of this city from their words.

I walked around in circles for almost an hour.

He became more and more curious about Pegasus City, so he simply stopped wandering around, sat directly on his horse, and walked towards the city gate.

When he arrived near the city gate, he saw stables one after another beneath the two horse statues, in which horses of various coats and colors were being fed by a group of grooms.

Before he could figure out the situation, suddenly, a young man in soap clothes stopped him with a handful of Jumali.

The Jumaliu is somewhat similar to the explosion-proof steel fork of later generations. It is a semicircular ring connected to the front of a steel rod. But it is larger than the explosion-proof steel fork.

The former is used to resist human attacks, while the latter is used to resist horses rushing forward.

The wood of this thing has been soaked in tung oil and has excellent toughness. If you push it in front of the horse's neck and thrust the other end under its feet, all horses will have to stop unless they are born with supernatural power.

Jumaliu punched his side, and the young man shouted at Li Zhen:
Chapter completed!
