The sun is half setting in the sky.
Warm winds blew across the plains planted with green wheat, and the waves of wheat moved from far to near, and then from near to far, like a undulating golden and blue ocean.
Du Kang got off the carriage and walked on the wide stone road between the wheat waves. He looked like a handsome rich man out of the city for fun. He was mixed in with the flow of people entering and leaving Linyuan City, and he was not particularly eye-catching.
The running water in the roadside ditch has been baked by the scorching summer sun for a day and has become slightly heated, but it is still crystal clear. The water reflects the heavy ears of wheat falling in the fields and the golden sky, as well as Du Kang's handsome face.
Face.
"Sir, we are about to enter the city. Why are you suddenly interested in getting out of the car and taking a walk?"
Beside Du Kang, Tan Hua had already put away his hair, holding his arm and walking side by side in front of the carriage.
"I'm not in a hurry to enter the city. There are some things that I can't see clearly inside the city. I want to take a good look outside the city."
Du Kang's eyes remained calm as he looked at the huge city located several miles away.
Linyuan City reflects the gloomy colors in the setting sun, lying on the ground like a giant beast, shocking everyone who comes here for the first time.
The city wall is more than ten feet high and towering. There are dozens of wide city gates on the wall that stretches for dozens of miles. Each city gate is devouring the flow of people returning to the city at night. From Du Kang's perspective,
It's spectacular.
It is difficult to maintain the operation of an ancient city. Every day people eat and chew horses, burn firewood, use water, and supply supplies... which will produce massive consumption.
When Du Kang was in Canglan City, he had observed the operation of that city. Even though Canglan City could be connected to the supply city through convenient water transportation, it still faced huge freight pressure.
Hearing that there were nearly three million people living in Linyuan City, which was three times the population of Canglan City, Du Kang could not imagine what method the managers of Linyuan City used to solve the survival problem of the residents of this land city.
This was one of the purposes of Du Kang's visit to Yuancheng with his talks and paintings. A set of effective management methods was a lesson that rulers must learn.
Although these matters are small, cumbersome and complicated, they are indispensable abilities for a force.
As a qualified lord, Du Kang has now mastered the essence of a ruler who has nothing to do with her subordinates and has something to do with her subordinates. He knows how to put Tan Hua in the right place, so that her desire for power can be fully exerted, and at the same time, she can get rid of these trivial matters.
.
Looking down at the greedy woman beside him, Du Kang quickly raised his head again.
Although the appearance of Linyuan City was shocking, Du Kang was not only concerned about the population and size of the city. What he could see with his spiritual eyes was that he could see a prosperous flow of luck gathering in the sky above the city.
Due to the large population, the fortunes of the three million mortals and monks in the city blended together, and together they formed red, fiery clouds of fortune that rose into the sky.
Like reality and illusion, like fire and smoke, this is the red dust fire where all people gather, the aggregation of people's wishes and energy at the level of luck.
In the mighty flames, there was a huge seal floating calmly, absorbing the wishes of the people in the city, and sending out a golden light shining in the sky to suppress Linyuan City, guarding the city.
Any creature flying through the sky will be attacked by the divine weapons.
The official seal has always represented the authority of the imperial court. There is only one official seal in the sky above Linyuan City, and there are no other magical weapons or signs of luck, indicating that this city is dominated by the imperial court.
"Canglan City has the Ten Thousand Demon Bell and the Black Demon Banner, Longxia City has the method of condensing Qinglong Qinglong, and Linyuan City has an official seal.
It is these powerful magical weapons or spells that unite the scattered luck in a city and turn them into things that can be used. My Peach Blossom Island must have similar luck-suppressing things in the future.
There are still five five-element magic weapons in my imagination. Although this can be achieved, after all, there are specializations in the art, so it is better to build or obtain luck-type magic weapons in the future.
Si Xiong's Mountain and River Seal is the world's top divine weapon of luck, and I wonder if I can borrow the Mountain and River Seal to use it if I pretend to commit myself to her..."
After taking a thorough look at Linyuan City, Du Kang stopped his divergent thinking and turned his spiritual eyes to his feet.
The thick earth carries everything on the surface. The earth's aura, which is dominated by the aura of earth and mixed with various colorful auras, flows richly and slowly in the earth's crust.
The mountains winding on the surface seem to run east-west, but in fact the direction deep underground is extremely chaotic. The mighty spiritual energy flows freely between the mountains and the earth. At first glance, it looks like a long river with many branches, and at a second glance, it looks like a long river with many branches.
A divine dragon with thousands of heads and tails.
The only thing that is the same is that this spiritual energy flow path, which is called "underground dragon vein" by ordinary people, has no end at a glance.
Because the earth is vast and boundless.
Although his spiritual vision was limited, Du Kang could still clearly see that the dragon veins of the entire Hengduan Mountains, which were thousands of miles long, were centered on the plain where Linyuan City was located.
Deep in the earth, an underground hole almost as big as the plain is breathing in the majestic earth energy, like a beating heart, providing power for the circulation of earth energy.
This is the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Hengduan Mountains, and it is also the most suitable place in Haizhou for the promotion of Taoist Zhenyue.
Linyuan City is really built in a good place. It can not only travel to and from a vast cave, but also has an underground cave that can be called a treasure house. No wonder it can support a population of three million.
"There should be formations to restrain escape techniques in the city. Taoist Zhenyue should be separated from his body outside the city. It would be troublesome to follow him into the city."
Thinking like this, in Du Kang's slow footsteps, a figure quietly broke away from him, escaping into the stone road under his feet like a fish entering water, and blended into the earth.
Most of the people walking around him were mortals, and they failed to notice Du Kang's movements. However, as a mid-level monk, Tan Hua immediately noticed the change in the man next to him, and immediately shook Du Kang's arm with both hands and said coquettishly.
"Sir, everything in the world has always been in a state of perfection with all five elements. The snake hair in Tanhua is about to be perfect, but there is still a little less earthly magic in it.
It is said that the earth's aperture is a rare place in the world where treasures are conceived, and it is filled with precious spiritual creatures and monsters of earth attribute.
I also want to follow him around and see if I can meet some monsters that I can take a fancy to and use them as breakthroughs for my spells."
As soon as Du Kang saw Tan Hua's red lips with her little pink tongue sticking out, he knew that she was greedy. He knew that he was not in a hurry to understand the operation of Linyuan City, so he agreed to this request.
"Then you go along.
The transformation of my avatar requires someone to protect the law. I originally planned to leave this matter to the Five Elements Demon Boy.
But their intelligence is low, and I was worried that they would not protect them well enough. Since you want to go, you might as well lead them to do their work."
"Thank you, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, a layer of earth-yellow light rippled under Tan Hua's feet, and the earth swallowed up the poisonous snake in one gulp.
The disappearance of Tan Hua was seen by many people on the road, but the people in Linyuan City seemed to be more knowledgeable. The passers-by did not make any fuss. They just instinctively stayed away from Du Kang's carriage and continued to rush into the city.
.
"This is a scene that only a place with a relatively stable order will have. Linyuan City, I hope you can bring me more surprises."
With this thought in his mind, Du Kang silently turned back to the carriage, greeted Yang Liu who was driving the carriage, and returned to the carriage.
Under the golden-red sunset, farmers busy in the fields began to gather on the road, forming a dense flow of people back to Linyuan City. Viewed from a high altitude, it seemed as if they were being swallowed by a giant beast sitting on the plain.
This plain is vast, and there are many market towns on it for farming. These people who return to the city seem to be very large, but they are only farmers near Linyuan City. You can imagine the scale of agriculture in the entire plain.
Yang Liu, who had various demonic eyes on the back of his hands, temples, forehead, and top of his head, flicked the reins in his hand and drove forward like an experienced groom, merging into the crowd and immediately lost himself in the surging crowd.
The carriage stopped and stopped all the way, and when night fell completely, it finally arrived at a city gate. At this time, Yang Liu's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage.
"Sir, there is a wanted notice posted on the city wall. Would you like to come out and take a look?"
"No need, I've seen it."
Du Kang, who was holding the Yin Fu Jing Dou Scroll in the carriage, raised his head and his naked eyes immediately penetrated the fragile wooden carriage and saw the scene outside.
This is a city gate entrance. Farmers who have worked outside the city for a day can enter directly with the token they carry, but outsiders need to pay a small entrance fee.
Although the fee was only three copper coins, there was a long queue at the door. Du Kang's carriage stopped just like this, and happened to stop in front of a wanted notice on the wall.
There is a vivid and handsome face painted on the left side of the notice. If you look closely, who is it if it is not Du Kang?
On the right side, there are detailed descriptions of Du Kang's three-headed six-arm magic, five-element magic, wing-inserting method, black fire and other magic features that he had exposed in his fight with Wusheng Professor Sanyuan, as well as the crime of killing the Wusheng Cult's protector and robbing the Wusheng Cult's treasure.
It also specifically mentions that the thief's name is Du Kang or Lin Chun. He is cruel and powerful, has committed extremely evil crimes, and is extremely cunning. If this person's whereabouts can be detected, if he tells the Wusheng Cult, he will be rewarded with a heavy reward of five thousand taels of silver.
Du Kang's eyes continued to scan the city wall, which was covered with densely packed wanted notices. They were all so-called thieves who had offended the court, Wusheng Cult and Rakshasa Cult but had not yet been punished.
Du Kang even found two notices inside that were almost exactly the same as the Wanted Notices from the Wusheng Cult. Du Kang was also wanted, except that the victims were replaced by the Rakshasa Cult and the imperial court.
There are many weird spells in this world, which can easily change the appearance, body shape, age, gender, and even race. Therefore, when wanted, the identity of the fugitive can only be determined based on the characteristics of the spells that are difficult to change.
And because the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the court's control is not strong, not many of these wanted people can actually be caught.
"The rule of the imperial court and the two religions over Daliang has almost become one, advancing and retreating together.
Their power in Bibohai is extremely weak, and they seem to only have two very small branches in Canglan City. Therefore, I have been hiding for more than a year and have never really encountered the pursuit of the two sects.
But this time when I came to Linyuan City, I didn't know if I would have any contact with them.
I heard that in addition to the chief officials dispatched by the imperial court, Linyuan City also has high-level monks from the Wusheng Sect and the Rakshasa Sect. It would be bad if the three parties jointly target it, so I'd better keep a low profile."
Du Kang touched his face that had changed due to his foresight, and set the tone for this trip to Linyuan City.
It happened that Yang Liu outside had already arranged the guards at the city gate. Under the attack of ten taels of silver, the guards let the carriage pass without even lifting the curtains of the carriage.
After exiting the long corridor, a prosperous city appeared in front of Du Kang.
Because it was built on a plain, Linyuan City has a structure of six concentric circles surrounded by rings. It was expanded bit by bit with the development of the city to reach its current scale.
The outermost city wall of Linyuan City was just built ten years ago, and each layer of concentric circles within it is divided into separate cities.
Du Kang looked down from a high altitude with a full perspective and felt that the entire city was neat, orderly and brightly lit, giving off a sign of prosperity.
"Let's go, Qingdai has informed the Hidden Dragon Society of several stronghold locations in Linyuan City. Let's go directly to the nearest one and find out how to enter the guarded cave."
"Sir, I understand."
After some exchanges, the carriage turned around and entered a brightly lit street...
…
At this time, it was deep underground in Linyuan City.
Du Kang had already escaped to a depth of three thousand feet with Tan Hua Di, and stopped at the intersection of hot magma and rock formations.
Ahead is a huge underground cavity. Below the cavity is a bubbling lava ocean. The light emitted from the magma illuminates the cavity golden and red.
Above the magma sea, which is a hundred feet high, is the hard underground rock formation. The rock formations are dotted with numerous huge holes, and rich earth gas is flowing through them.
Between the interlayers of magma and rock formations, the vast earth energy tumbles and aggregates. Under the influence of inexplicable forces, the earth energy contracts and relaxes like a heart, ebbing and flowing, attracting or promoting the flow of earth energy on the surface.
non-stop.
Taoist Zhenyue didn't have a pair of good eyes like his own. When he looked around with his spiritual eyes, he couldn't see how big the earth's orifice was. He could only see the earth's energy like a turbid current pulsing slowly in the light of the magma.
This is the aperture of the Hengduan Mountains, the center of intersection of many dragon veins.
The dragon veins are to the earth just as the meridians are to the monks, and the earth apertures are the key nodes and acupoints through which the dragon veins flow.
As the earth's energy flows freely in the dragon's veins, just as the demonic power can slowly grow in the body of a monk, the power in the earth's orifices will slowly accumulate, giving birth to numerous earth-qi treasures and earth-moving monsters.
The treasure land was already in front of him, so Du Kang couldn't watch it, so he jumped into it while talking about painting.
The moment they entered the earth's orifice, they immediately felt the chaotic gravity coming from all directions. They were top-heavy, upside down, moving left and right, and drifting at will, trying to separate the two of them.
Fortunately, Ankylosaurus is the dragon of the earth. When Du Kang entered it, he was like a dragon swimming in the sea and a phoenix flying in the sky. He quickly took control of the nearby gravity, pulled Tan Hua back, and plunged into the water-like earth air to swim.
It was only when I really entered the earth's atmosphere that I realized that the seemingly gaseous earth's atmosphere was so turbid that I couldn't see the scene several feet away. It was also as heavy as a mountain, weighing heavily on outsiders.
This little pressure was like a spring breeze to Du Kang's dragon body, but it was too heavy for Tan Hua. The pressure immediately caused her blood to flow into her epidermis, and her whole skin turned red.
Just when Du Kang wanted to help Tan Hua, a dark brown scorpion tail silently pierced the turbid earth air and attacked the two of them...
