Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

In addition to the Zhou, Fu, and Zhang families, which have the highest status in Sifang City and hold power, and can be called the king of one side, there are more than a dozen small families. Although they do not have decisive ability and power, they are also an indispensable part of the backbone of the construction of the Sifang City system.

The way of survival of these small families is also very realistic. Each family must have a marriage relationship with any one of the Zhou, Fu, and Zhang families, or two or three families. Only by connecting and interweaving with each other can they gain a firm foothold.

The rest, more of them, are those who have drifted to the polar ice field and have to live in Sifang City for survival and living.

Many people are not strong enough in martial arts and have no special accumulation of foundation. If they leave Sifang City, they will definitely die. Therefore, although their lives are more depressed, staying in Sifang City at least has a way to survive, which is not bad.

Meng Zhao wants to get close to the Sifang City force, or even support it. The only thing to do is to win the support of Zhou, Fu, and Zhang. The ideas of other people are of no reference value.

The three of them used magic to cover themselves, so even if they walked slowly, no one could see them, just like ghosts walking in the void.

This was the first time Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling came to this Sifang City, so they carefully observed the layout of the entire Sifang City and the mental outlook of the people living in it.

How should I put it? This Sifang City was carved and cast with the foundation of ten thousand years of black ice. It should have been surrounded by unparalleled coldness. Not to mention ordinary people, even those so-called martial arts masters would inevitably suffer from the cold poison after living there for many years.

However, only when you are in it can you find that this Nine Nine Lieyang Wuji Great Array is indeed subtle and mysterious. After tampering, the whole city seems to have a layer of floor heating. It looks like a world of ice and snow, but in fact, it is like the warm moon in spring, which is very suitable for living.

The layout of the city is also closer to the pattern of more than a hundred years ago. For example, the four gates are divided into four areas, which is also the origin of the name of Sifang City. In addition, the central area is the core of Sifang City and an important place. Only the people of Zhou, Fu, and Zhang can live and reside in it. Others are not allowed to enter.

Passing through a barely busy street in Sifang City, you can see that in addition to the shops on both sides, there are also large areas of open space occupied by people setting up stalls. There is no so-called unified currency here, but it is operated in the ancient way of barter.

The goods are mostly food, clothes, bedding, etc., and the rest are weapons and medicines. As for the variety, it can be said that it is completely lackluster and has no intention.

According to Meng Zhao's eyes, this seems to be a big city, but the real living standard is probably not as good as some villages under his Lingwu City.

Don't underestimate the villages under Lingwu City, because Lingwu City is powerful and rich, and the daily necessities in these villages are actually very exquisite.

For a simple example, the porcelain bowls on the stalls here are used to feed dogs in the villages under Lingwu City.

You can imagine how big the gap between the two is.

In fact, this is also very normal. If it is not hard, if you can enjoy happiness, then there will definitely be a large number of people crossing the border.

To put it bluntly, life here is not life, but just survival.

Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling also observed a few things and kept them in mind.

First, there are fewer young and strong people and children in Sifang City, and more old people. Even if these old people are all practicing martial arts, they are still very strange.

Could it be that the young and strong are used for other purposes, such as being trained into an army?

Meng Zhao thinks it is worth exploring whether this is the case.

He came to Sifang City to find allies and support, not to help the poor.

What he values ​​is the scale of Sifang City's organization and power, which can be used to win over and then pull out an armed force, which may be used as a surprise force in the future to change the occupation.

However, if Sifang City is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, and has no war potential at all, but needs Meng Zhao's continuous blood transfusion to survive, then they will have no effect and meaning to Meng Zhao.

The second is that the people in Sifang City practice a little extreme.

Take Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling as an example. What they saw, regardless of men, women, old or young, there are only two ways of practice.

The first is the way of pure Yang Fiery Fire, which can also be collectively called the way of Yang Fire, just like Meng Zhao's Red Flag Order.

It is the way of fire.

The second is the way of pure Yin Mysterious Ice, which can also be called the way of Cold Ice.

Apart from this, there is no other way.

It is simply a bit weird.

At least Meng Zhao has been in the polar ice field for so long, and he has never seen such a strange thing. The people of the hundreds of tribes have their own ways of cultivation, and their ways are also strange. Why are the people of Sifang City so limited?

Meng Zhao did not treat himself as an outsider and asked these two questions directly.

If the problem was too big, he would not waste time to win over the so-called Zhou, Fu, and Zhang families.

Bei Jun gave an explanation for this,

"It is very difficult for our human race to gain a foothold in Sifang City. Therefore, in addition to this foothold and the blessing of the formation, there must also be military support.

Therefore, Sifang City has a military service system. Anyone who is over 14 years old must serve for at least ten years, and once a war breaks out, they must return to the barracks at any time to prepare for battle.

At the same time, in the Sifang Camp of Sifang City, an elite army of 50,000 people is established all year round. They train constantly and are often pulled out to hunt beasts. This not only subsidizes the military expenses, but also sharpens combat power and stimulates blood.

You see that there are few young and strong people in the city. The reason is that many young and strong people are either serving in the military or directly become soldiers in the Sifang Camp.

In addition, Sifang City also has a land reclamation team and a hunting team, which are also mainly young and strong. Therefore, it is not that my Sifang City lacks young and strong people, but that they are all busy and ordinary people cannot see them. "

"Besides, the method of cultivation is also a helpless move.

Sifang City is an extreme environment. When you are in it, your physical constitution will gradually develop in the direction of polarization, either tending to Yang Fire or tending to Ice. The reason lies in the Nine-Nine Fiery Fire Infinite Array and the Sifang City with Ten Thousand Years of Mysterious Ice as its foundation.

With the change of physique, practicing other martial arts will be twice as effective with half the effort, but practicing these two martial arts will be like a tiger with wings.

Therefore, for a newborn, the choice of path is doomed from the beginning.

Moreover, even if you originally practiced other methods, living in Sifang City for a long time will gradually change your physique. "

Meng Zhao and Zhao Ruling were both shocked. There is such a strange thing?

It's not that the physique cannot be changed. For example, practicing a certain method can gradually cultivate an acquired physique.

Or taking some natural treasures to be reborn is not uncommon.

But on such a large scale, it is a bit weird for people all over the city to do so. (End of this chapter)
