In addition to the steep terrain and unique architecture, the facilities in the Shezhao Mountain City are no different from other cities and counties. There are teahouses, wine shops, blacksmith shops, grain and oil shops, etc. Because the Shezhao people love tobacco, there are also
Specialized tobacco shop.
The entire mountain city was lively and bustling, with carriages and horses like dragons, and a mix of people, including people wearing Miao clothes, long gowns, and fur coats, men, women, old and young. It was far more prosperous than any county town Xu Dao had ever seen before.
When he first arrived, Xu Dao did not rush to contact the people of the Shezhao tribe in person. He took Swordsman and Su Jiu together, pretended to be a group of ordinary tourists, and found a hotel to stay.
The hotel I was looking for had a strange painting style. It was actually a five-story house built on top of a century-old tree and sandwiched between the cliffs. Because it had a wide view and was condescending, the cost of staying overnight was not low.
Fortunately, Xu Dao didn't have to worry about gold and silver, so he opened three houses directly.
That night, as soon as the noise inside and outside the hotel subsided, the window pane of the house he was in moved, and a stream of earthworms quietly flew out of the guest room.
This is when Xu Dao made preparations, drove Gu worms to travel, and prepared to explore Shezhao Mountain City at night.
Rustle! After the earthworm got out of the hotel, it immediately flapped its wings and flew, wandering in the night sky of Shezhao Mountain City.
Along the street where the hotel was located, Xu Dao wandered wantonly. The mountain city was quite large, and he had only completed half a circle after flying around for most of an hour, during which he saw many scenes of life of the Shezhao people.
It is said that although the Shezhao tribe is also a cultivating force, this tribe is obviously different from the White Bone Temple. Not the entire tribe is a cultivator, and most of them are mortals.

At least Xu Daoyou walked all the way and the people he saw were just ordinary people, and he didn't see anyone with any cultivation.
After he had roughly visited most of the mountain city, he saw practitioners in Miao clothes in several buildings, and they were all unconventional Taoist priests.
Xu Dao did not have direct contact. He considered that although the mountain city in front of him was busy, there was not much spiritual energy in the city, and he thought in his heart:
"It seems that Shezhao Mountain City should be divided into an inner city and an outer city. The mountain city in front of you is just the residence of ordinary mortals. Most of the real Shezhao people live on the top of the mountain."
In the night sky, Xu Dao's gaze moved upward and landed on the top of Sheshan Mountain, which was shrouded in clouds and mist all day long.
This mountain is thousands of feet high, steep and wide. It would take an ordinary person a day or two to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. However, there is a long corridor extending out of the clouds and mist at the top of the mountain, penetrating through the heavy trees and hanging directly down.
In the mountain city.
The corridor has columns, under the moonlight, and colorful ribbons are hung on both sides, just like a huge snake with colorful scales coiled on Sheshan Mountain, its scales rustling and moving.
Don’t think too much, the rumored ghost market of Shezhao and the practitioners of Shezhao are probably among the clouds.
Xu Dao controlled the earthworm and suddenly fluttered his wings and flew away, ready to explore up.
He had just entered the mountain city now, and he had restrained his movements and aura along the way, so no one should have noticed him.
Moreover, Xu Dao is also traveling in an external form at this moment. If he finds something is wrong and demons are rampant here, he can return in an instant and flee again.
Although I was visiting Shezhao at night, there was a ladder-like corridor winding down in the clouds of Sheshan Mountain, which obviously meant to guide people.
Xu Dao thought to himself that he had no bad intentions and no one knew him, so he did not fly up with his head and tail hidden, but landed directly in the corridor and walked up openly to avoid being misunderstood by others.
.
After flying away from the crowds and flying into the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, Xu Dao immediately sensed the presence of spiritual energy in the clouds and mist. At the same time, while flying on the corridor, he felt a sense of oppression coming from all around.
The earthworm flaps its wings, and every time it rises one foot, it requires more strength, as if there is a heavy burden on its back.
While flying, Xu Dao thought to himself: "There really is a formation here."
But he didn't stupidly accept the pressure from all around, but directly moved his true energy and used magic to protect the fox.
Slowly, a figure began to appear in Xu Dao's eyes. The person was walking on the corridor, his steps were heavy, his breath was like an ox, and he was obviously quite uncomfortable.
"Mortal?" Xu Dao looked at him with a surprised look in his eyes.
After he continued to fly upward for a while, he found that there were more people at the front of the corridor, all of them strong men, climbing up with empty hands and gritted teeth.
Xu Dao controlled the Gu insect and slowly passed by these people. No one noticed him. Just when he was wondering, laughter suddenly came from behind him.
"Fellow Taoist is choosing a husband for the girl under my sect. How about considering Pindao?"
Xu Daoxun looked up and saw a strong man running towards him a hundred steps away. He was well-muscled and was wearing a satin robe woven with gold and silver. His chest was exposed and his neck was exposed during his long strides, making him look quite strong.
As soon as this sound sounded, several mortals around Xu Dao woke up and realized Xu Dao's presence beside them.
"It's a Gu insect!"
"Insect Master!" "Immortal Chief!" Several exclamations came out.
Xu Dao ignored the mortals around him. He looked at the strong Taoist priest running towards him, and he was slightly concerned about it. The Yin Shen directly appeared in the swarm of insects as a vague figure.
Xu Dao did not prevaricate and cover up, but said directly: "No, a certain family is not a member of the imperial edict. They are just a wandering cultivator in the mountains. I am a little surprised when I first come here."
"So that's it! It's a poor Taoist who's being arrogant." The strong man in front made a sudden voice, and he said in surprise: "My fellow Taoist, this Gu insect looks extraordinary, and it is more powerful than ordinary Shezhao insect masters."
After saying this, the strong Taoist priest cupped his hands and said, "We are destined to meet each other. Since this is my first time here, why don't you, a poor Taoist, lead the way for you?"
Xu Dao stared at the other person and noticed that the energy and blood on the other person's body was entangled, and red light hit the ground. He was a Taoist who practiced martial arts. His energy and blood were nearly three feet high, and his cultivation was clearly in the late stage of body refining.
From the perspective of the strong Taoist priest, Xu Dao's spiritual light was rich and nearly three feet tall. He was a Taoist disciple in the late stage of Qi refining and should not be underestimated.
At present, the two of them had no grudges, and the strong Taoist priest also took the initiative to show kindness. Xu Dao pondered for a moment, then bowed to the other person and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. I'm sorry to trouble my fellow Taoist."
"Hahaha! Nothing, nothing! Fellow Taoist, just come with me. There is still a little distance ahead. I will introduce you to fellow Taoist by the way."
The strong Taoist priest hummed in reply, he passed by many roads, and continued to run upward.
When Xu Dao heard this, his magic power stirred up in his body, and he used his magical skills. He immediately chased after the strong man and ran alongside him to the top of the mountain.
The mortals who were struggling to climb the mountain on the corridor saw it, and their eyes were full of envy.
Along the way, Xu Dao learned from the mouth of the strong Taoist priest that the Shezhao ghost market was ahead, and he also knew why there were mortals walking hard on the corridor.
It turns out that it is spring time, March 3 is approaching, and the Shezhao tribe has a custom of gathering in the mulberry forest.
These mortals just want to log into the inner city, win the favor of Yishezhao witch, and then go to Zhenzhai to learn the magic.
