One hundred and ninetieth chapters first arrived in the sea of ????clouds
Yunhai City is located on the southern foot of the Yunhai Mountains. It is a famous city in the Qin Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years.
Wei Changfeng had long heard of the name of Yunhai City and knew that this city affiliated with Yunhai Gate had a population of hundreds of thousands, a large part of which were relatives and families of Yunhai Gate, and the forces of famous families were mixed.
Now that I saw this city with my own eyes, I realized that Yunhai City is well-known. Its scale is so large that it is comparable to the capital of a dynasty, and its majestic atmosphere is amazing.
Yunhai City is built between two high peaks, guarding the exit of Yunhai Mountain Gate. The city walls that stretch across the east and west are more than ten miles long and are even more than ten feet high. From a distance, it looks like an extremely majestic fortress!
To the west of it, a wide river circulates the mountains and rushes from the north to the southeast.
Merchants ships shuttled and returned on the river, and hundreds of ships of all sizes were docked on the pier near the city, with masts waving and flags. Merchants sailors came and went, and were busy and prosperous.
In terms of terrain, Yunhai City and Jingyun City are somewhat similar, but there are too many differences in layout and scale.
Behind this heroic city are the steep mountains covered by clouds and mists. It is the main vein of the Yunhai Mountains, a blessed place for hiding dragons and lying tigers!
On the south side of Yunhai City is an open plain, with farmlands cultivated, roads crisscrossing, farmhouses and farmhouses everywhere, and many farmers work hard to cultivate.
Following the official road paved with bluestone, Wei Changfeng walked to the city gate.
The huge city gates were open left and right, but there were checkpoints at the city gate, and dozens of talented warriors were responsible for checking the incoming and outing convoys. The whole order was orderly.
"Please show the pass nameplate..."
A blue-clothed warrior stopped Wei Changfeng and said expressionlessly: "If this is your first time to come to Yunhai City, please go here to register and make a book first."
He pointed to the right direction, where there was a long table near the city wall, with scholars sitting behind, and thick books stacked high on the table.
Wei Changfeng did not expect that the rules of Yunhai City were so strict, but as the main gate of Yunhai Gate, it was impossible for idle people to enter and exit casually.
He thought for a while and took out the nameplate of his outer disciple: "Is this OK?"
"So it's a new senior brother!"
Seeing this brass-like disciple nameplate, the expression of the blue-clothed warrior changed suddenly. A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he clasped his fists and said, "All I disciples in Yunhai can enter and exit Yunhai City at will. Senior brother, please do whatever you want!"
His age is much older than Wei Changfeng, but his senior brother spoke very smoothly and his attitude was even more polite and respectful, which was a world of difference from before.
Wei Changfeng was just here, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, not knowing what his identity was.
But no matter how confused he was, he still remained calm on the surface. He also held his fists and replied, "Thank you, senior brother!"
"Don't dare..."
The warrior in blue lowered his head in a little panic and said, "Senior Brother, as long as you hang the nameplate around your waist in the future, no one will check it whether it is in Yunhai City or in the Lower City."
"Thank you for the reminder!"
Wei Changfeng nodded, he casually tied the nameplate to his belt, and then walked towards the city.
When you enter the city gate, you will see the main street. There are shops on both sides of the street, houses and tile houses, and various shop signs are everywhere, most of which are antique and charming.
There were bustling business travelers, many of whom were warriors wearing strong suits and carrying swords.
"This senior brother..."
Just as Wei Changfeng was wondering if he was looking for a restaurant to fill his stomach, a young man in green came over and asked with a smile: "You must be new to Yunhai City, right? Do you need a guide?"
The boy was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a thin figure, gentle appearance, agile eyes, and a clever mind. His words and deeds were clever and his eyesight was very good.
Wei Changfeng knew that in any larger city, there were such self-recommendation guides. They were either local residents or stayed in the local area for a long time, familiar with the environment and well-informed.
Therefore, new travelers or travelers are willing to spend some money to hire and lead the way, so as not to waste time and energy on the wrong path, and save more money.
There were also mixed people among these people, and many outsiders were deceived. However, Wei Changfeng noticed that a black iron plate was pendant around his waist, which was the identity nameplate representing the Yunhaimen registered disciples.
In Yunhai City, I believe no one dares to pretend to be a disciple of Yunhai Sect.
Wei Changfeng asked with a smile: "You are the junior brother of the same school? Please do it, how to calculate the cost?"
He knew something about the situation of Yunhaimen, but he basically knew nothing about Yunhai City, and he didn't even know the way to the mountain gate. Of course, he was very willing to hire a fellow disciple who was familiar with the situation.
The young man in green smiled and said, "I'm going to hide it from my senior brother. My younger brother Zuo Yan is a famous disciple of the lower city and a local family in Yunhai City. Please ask me for this number in one day, just this number is enough!"
He raised his right hand and spread his five fingers, shaking at Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng asked, "Five taels of silver?"
"Fifty taels!"
Zuo Yan looked insulted and said, "It's the cheapest!"
Fifty taels?
Wei Changfeng was speechless. Although he was not short of money now, the price of fifty taels was too outrageous.
You should know that fifty taels are enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for a year. If you hire a guide, you will need this number in one day. It’s like a lion talking!
He was not going to talk to the other party any longer, and he was too lazy to bargain.
"Senior brother, please listen to my explanation..."
Seeing Wei Changfeng turning his head and leaving, Zuo Yan hurriedly grabbed him and said, "This is your first time in Yunhai City. I don't know the prices here. I'm really not lying to you!"
It turns out that Yunhai City is special, and its prices are far higher than other places. It is not inferior to the King of Qin, and it has a reputation of "the sea of clouds is not easy to live in."
For example, the price of rice and grain is usually three or four taels of silver per stone in the city of Yunhai. It is as high as ten taels.
Because most of the rice is transported from outside from thousands of miles away, the locally produced grain is simply not enough to supply the needs of hundreds of thousands of residents.
In addition, daily necessities such as silk, linen, paper, etc. that need to be purchased are not cheap. The cheapest ones are local specialties such as iron, weapons, ore, wood, medicinal materials, etc.
"Senior brother, I know the situation in Yunhai City very well, and I also know many friends in the city..."
Zuo Yan said in a swift and swift manner: "I know which master is the best to deal with, and which sect mission is the best for you, and I also know who can't mess with me... Do you think these news are worth dozens of taels of silver?"
His eloquence was so good that after a while, Wei Changfeng was moved.
"Okay, fifty taels are fifty taels."
Zuo Yan immediately smiled: "Thank you, senior brother, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Wei Changfeng said little by little, "Then take me to a restaurant for something first..."
He traveled thousands of miles from Jingyun City, and was full of dust along the way. During this period, he experienced two bloody battles. He had been sleeping in the open for nearly ten days. He felt that he could eat a cow.
When refining the body, condensing qi and innate, warriors need to constantly temper their bodies to strengthen their bodies and souls before entering the three realms before they transform into gods, and of course they also need to consume a lot of ingredients to replenish their physical strength.
It is said that it is a poor man who is rich in martial arts. It is no different from a fool to learn martial arts without money. Therefore, many warriors are willing to hunt and hunt for treasures at risk, or do some hard work to maintain their daily needs.
For example, Zuo Yan, who was guarding the city gate and serving as a guide, had to eat most of the money he earned with hard work.
He took Wei Changfeng to a restaurant called Chunyu.
Although it was not yet time for dinner, there were already many guests in this ordinary restaurant. Zuo Yan stuffed some silver into the client and got a window on the third floor.
"Chunyulou is a century-old brand..."
Zuo Yan introduced enthusiastically: "Apricot blossom wine, roasted lamb legs, Duobao soup, and braised flower and jadeite fish are all signature dishes here. They taste so good and have enough portions. Usually, they are late and there is absolutely no place!"
He said it himself, looking salivating.
Wei Changfeng didn't feel that the other party was bragging, because in just a moment, the wine tables on the third floor were all sitting, and the business was indeed very good.
He smiled and said, "Then let's have one serving. I'll ask for two pounds of apricot blossom wine first. I'll invite this meal."
Zuo Yan was overjoyed: "Thank you, senior brother!"
He couldn't wait to call a friend, ordered several signature dishes, and added two more vegetarian dishes.
Wei Changfeng nodded secretly. This junior brother was still very sensible. He did not take it over because of his generosity and treated him as a sucker.
After sending the guy away, Wei Changfeng picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.
"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Zuo?
Just as he was about to ask Zuo Yan about something, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from beside him.
Wei Changfeng couldn't help but turn his head and see a young man with a black face walking over, looking at Zuo Yan with a mocking look, and two companions were following behind him.
Wei Changfeng noticed that there was a copper nameplate like himself hanging around his waist.
Zuo Yan's face changed, he stood up and said, "Senior Brother Chen..."
The senior brother Chen smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I just invited two senior brothers to come over, but I didn't expect that the seats were full. You can give it up!"
He was domineering at Zuo Yan, without even glance at Wei Changfeng, and he looked at him as if nothing had happened.
Zuo Yan showed a look of being angry but not speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he said voluntarily: "Senior Brother Chen, I will bring this new entry-level senior brother here to sit down. Do you see if it is..."
At this time, the senior brother surnamed Chen seemed to have noticed Wei Changfeng's existence, and curled his lips disdainfully and said, "New entry? Then we should respect our senior brothers in the same school. You give up the position and I will invite you to this meal!"
Wei Changfeng immediately smiled.
Not only did he ask him to give up his seat, he had to pay for a treat, and it seemed that he gave him a lot of face.
Pooh!
