But each one is like an extremely complex lock, with only one way to open it, making it particularly hidden.
When Chen Tian found Puji in the secret place at the bottom of the cave, it was actually thanks to Rong Biao's carelessness that he was able to follow her in.
Now that Yongtai City has moved the secret realm to the surface, the method of opening it has of course changed, and it is probably more complicated than before.
"Should we also go around in circles?" Chen Tian probed.
He and Liu Guxue had entered the secret realm before in Shanglinyuan, but it was a locust tree and could be opened through footwork.
But looking at the appearance of this tree house now, the mystery is probably hidden in the two doors, but as for how to open it, he really couldn't think of it for the moment.
Tong Ruoran smiled and said: "This banyan tree is larger than the locust tree, so the secret realm is naturally larger. The sufficient spiritual energy can fully support more complex opening methods."
Say it.
She pushed open the door and entered.
Chen Tian's face was full of astonishment: "Isn't it? Is this what you call complicated? Come in directly?"
The tree house was very small, only ten feet in diameter at best. Although the furnishings were exquisite, it was obviously not as spacious as the Mi Zeng he had seen.
While lighting the lamp, Tong Ruoran smiled even more: "Don't worry, who said the key to the secret realm must be outside? This takes a lot of effort on my part."
Chen Tian spread his hands and watched her walk towards the door again with the lantern, illuminating a picture of clouds and rivers.
She pressed her fingers to perform the tricks and kept cruising on the runes. With bursts of ripples of light, the landscape of Yunchuan seemed to come alive and was vividly visible to her eyes.
At this time, she handed the lamp to Chen Tian, pushed it with both hands, and the door opened. She saw a small bridge, flowing water, and people's houses. The wind was warm and clear.
"The contrast is a bit big." Chen Tian subconsciously turned around and looked back, and found that he was still on the balcony of the tree house, with the same door.
Tong Ruoran smiled: "It's much slower here than outside. It might be good to practice three days a day."
The secret realm is huge.
About ten miles.
The overall layout is similar to that of Zhongyi Village. It also has a farm scenery, but there are no tall sentry towers, making it look more gentle.
After walking across the stone bridge, Chentian saw a small courtyard with green tiles. Morning glories covered the fence and were colorful. The grapefruit tree in the southeast corner was full of fruits and was growing gratifyingly.
"You are used to living in palaces, and you want to change your taste?" Chen Tian walked on the alleys and streets of the village, his eyes were full of tranquility, and he could capture the picture from any angle. It was so beautiful.
Tong Ruoran walked behind and said, "It must have been more than seven hundred years ago. At that time, I had not yet worshiped in Xianyin Pavilion, and I was still a child. The small village where we lived together day and night looked like this."
"What happened next?"
"What happened next?"
"What happened to the little village?"
Tong Ruoran was stunned and sighed: "What else can I do? Once I enter the Taoist gate, it is as deep as the sea. From then on, the world passes through the sky. I have only been in seclusion for half a year, and my parents have already turned gray."
"When I returned to my hometown for a visit after my second retreat, all the writing on the tombstone had been erased. Even the eldest man in the village didn't recognize me. He even asked with fear why the fairy's accent was so similar to his."
"Since then, I have never gone home. I just heard that the Yin family suddenly came to the northern region to carry out construction projects, and the people were in dire straits."
Chen Tian was silent.
There is no sun or moon in the cave.
It is too difficult for ordinary people to resist the passage of time. It comes in a hurry and goes away in a hurry. In the end, it is buried in Sui Baicao without leaving any trace.
This is also the reason for the ruthlessness of the Taoist monks. For a long time, he had to walk alone, witnessing with his own eyes the high-rise banquet for guests, and then the building collapsed and the bricks and tiles were broken.

One hundred years is a long time for a mortal, it takes a lifetime of birth, old age, sickness and death to measure, but for a monk, it is just a blink of an eye.
But how many hundred years does a mortal have?
Chen Tian's heart moved slightly, and Tong Ruoran sighed, and finally he changed the subject:
"In other words, the Yin family in the Northern Territory just built Wubao five or six hundred years ago?"
"Absolutely, it doesn't take long anyway."
"They didn't do anything big when they came to the Northern Territory?" Chen Tian walked to the entrance of the village unknowingly. The flowers of the shrike tree were in full bloom, as bright as an umbrella, and a swing hung from top to bottom, moving with the wind.
Tong Ruoran sat up on tiptoes and said casually: "They? They only exploit the common people. How can their ancestors be as high-spirited as when they followed the human emperor to conquer the demons outside the territory?"
"If Panlong Sect hadn't guarded Yanshan, their Wubao would probably have retreated thousands of miles inland. What's the big deal? They're just enjoying the glory and wealth."
Chen Tian slowly pushed the swing, and the shadows of the trees swayed, filtering out the mottled light and shadow on the ground.
"The days of the Yin family in the Northern Territory are coming to an end. The Yongtai Navy has collected a lot of information during this trip and has thoroughly figured out the details of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry. They will launch the army immediately after the Lingshi vein is officially mined."
Tong Ruoran nodded and suddenly said: "I heard that there is a caravan transporting treasures outside Gusu City, very close to Zishui. It is probably intended to attract the Yongtai navy to land. How did the god deal with it?"
"Let's use the trick." Chen Tian pushed the swing and added, "There are many fishermen along the river. The city lord's palace is trying to attract them to settle in Yongtai City. Now it happens that there is money to encourage people."
"Haha, the Lord God is really... you have almost finished relocating the common people on the outskirts of Gusu City."
"The people of the region don't care about the dangers of mountains and rivers. I didn't force them. Who asked the city lord Gao Ren to be righteous?" Chen Tian joked.
Tong Ruoran rolled his eyes, and was used to his boasting, but he was right, life in Yongtai City was much better than outside. As long as someone gave a little guidance, large-scale immigrants could not be stopped.
Now the population of Yongtai City is about to exceed one million. It is so prosperous that it is almost different from the previously desolate Cangxi Northern Territory. There are people everywhere.
In fact, she has read a lot of history books and discovered a pattern between the lines. As long as the population reaches a certain density, the mountains and fields will be completely cultivated and become indivisible, followed by civil strife.
Until the population was greatly depleted by internal and external troubles, the next cycle of reincarnation began, repeating itself over and over again for thousands of years.
She roughly told Chen Tian about this and wondered: "Luwu Mountain is poorer than the Central Plains, so how can it support a population of one million? Moreover, it is only second to the Yin family in the Northern Territory in terms of prosperity, ranking second in the Northern Territory of Cangxi.
?”
"Luwu Mountain is not barren." Chen Tian thought for a while and explained, "Barrenness is only for the land, but as long as there are appropriate means to utilize and develop the resources, Luwu Mountain can be described as a treasure house."
"Do you see how rich the mineral deposits are in the cave?"
"If this were not the case, the thirty-six sects in the Northern Territory would not be gathered here. The settlement of Qianji Pavilion and Fenjin Village here is the best example."
"The technology mastered by these two is more than ten times more advanced than other sects. Once applied to the field of people's livelihood, the production efficiency is more than ten times."
"So, the upper limit of the population that a piece of land can carry ultimately depends on production techniques."
"I probably understand." Tong Ruoran nodded slightly, "Other cities are mostly farmers, but Qianji Pavilion and Fenjin Villa contribute a hundred thousand jobs. These people are simply the mainstay of Yongtai City."
"Their consumption has driven the rapid development of all walks of life, and the salt and iron industry is obviously more cost-effective than farming, which is enough to make up for the balance."
"More importantly, the god's superior force can effectively protect this hugely profitable industry."
Chen Tian smiled in admiration.
He looked at Tong Ruoran's flowing sleeves and added again: "Actually, the underlying logic you mentioned has a major premise, which is extremely important." "Oh? Please give me some guidance from the gods." Tong Ruoran stopped the swing and turned around to look.
