Taoist master wants to ascend

"Hengshan City has arrived!"

The river breeze blew slowly, and Li Yuan opened the window, only to see that the river here was getting wider and wider, enough to accommodate dozens of boats traveling side by side, and the river channel was tall and smooth.

There are endless fields on both sides of the bank. It is the time of early spring farming, and countless farmers are holding oxen and helping plows.

"finally reached!"

"Is that Hengshan Daocheng? It is said that there are millions of households in one city, and it is one of the top ten famous cities in the world! I want to buy a house and settle in Daocheng!"

"Wow, are those monks from Longhu Temple?"

Li Yuan opened the door, and a crowd of people rushed onto the deck, looking around, with excitement and excitement on their faces.

The boats on the river, large and small, all had the same general scene. There was a bustle of people with various accents, almost overwhelming the sound of the surging river tide.

"It is worthy of being the intersection of eight rivers and the center of Hengshan Mountain!"

The deck was filled with all kinds of chatter.

Li Yuan leaned on the railing and looked around. Along both sides of the river, there were many residential houses and even towns. On the extremely wide river ahead, hundreds of ships docked. This was an ordinary dock in Hengshan Daocheng.

Looking from afar, the outline of Hengshan Daocheng can already be seen.

On the side of the mountains and by the seaside, a majestic city is located here. It is as majestic as a crawling dragon and as powerful as a huge mountain.

The tall city wall stretches out for an unknown distance from east to west, with no end as far as the eye can see.

The city is open on four sides and faces water on three sides. The two Pingjiang Grand Canals, which run through six states and twenty-one prefectures, meet here, pass through the Hengshan City Gate, and go straight to the estuary into the sea.

"How much manpower does it take to build this city?"

Feng Zhong was already sighing. It was his first time to come to Hengshan City. Seeing the outline of the giant city, he was shocked.

The Zhelong Mansion occupies a large area, but the city is more than ten times larger. Moreover, outside the city, there are various towns and cities surrounding the giant city.

"Ye Xianglang has tens of thousands of people, right?"

Liu Zheng murmured, his heart shaking.

"No wonder some people say that the Pingjiang Grand Canal is the greatest achievement of the Universiade in the millennium."

Li Yuan clicked his tongue in surprise.

A big city with a population of more than 10 million requires a huge amount of resources, not to mention the difficulty of construction. Just maintaining it requires a huge amount of resources. Among other things, firewood is a huge problem.

Without coal and the Grand Canal, a city of this level would simply not exist.

In fact, this is also true. Hengshan Daocheng has existed for more than three thousand years, but most of its dozens of expansions were after the construction of the canal during the Universiade. Before that, it only had a population of one million.

"The prosperity of the Universiade is unparalleled in all generations, and Taizu's achievements are unprecedented!"

On the boat not far away, there was an old scholar with tears in his eyes.

"It's not easy to live in Daocheng."

Li Yuan murmured in his mind. In the short time it took for the ship to enter the dock from the relatively narrow river, he had noticed at least a dozen high-grade artifacts!

High-grade famous weapons, in the Zhelong and Dechang mansions, only an elder of at least one sect and a Tongmai master-level person are qualified to hold them.

"Are houses in Daocheng expensive?"

Before getting off the boat, Li Yuan heard a lot of people talking. After arriving in Daocheng, most people had the idea of ​​settling down.

"Expensive, very expensive!"

The ship docked, and sailors came up to carry the goods. The wind glanced at the disciples:

"Hengshan City is divided into two inner and outer cities, each with sixteen districts. An ordinary two-story courtyard in the outer city costs at least 200 taels of gold. The inner city is probably more expensive."

"Is this expensive?"

All the disciples were a little stunned.

"Two hundred taels of gold... Well, the second brother's income from collecting firewood would cost two hundred years without eating or drinking. The price is really expensive..."

Li Yuan went back to the house to pack his luggage, but he didn't have much, mainly small mice and tiger cubs.

One is in his pocket, the other is squatting on his shoulder.

Wrapping the python skin rope around his hand, Li Yuan picked up the heavy hammer and followed everyone off the boat. He glanced around and did not find Old Han.

Chapter 50 Entering Longhu Temple for the first time.

I didn't notice the light of high-level weapons either.

"give up?"

Li Yuan was cautious in his heart, as the heavy hammer and boots were shining brightly in the weapon jar. He thought that even if a master of marrow refining attacked him, he would be able to retreat calmly.

"Unless you are a master who is good at stealth assassination and does not carry any weapons..."

Li Yuan tightened his grip on the hammer.

Coming out of the pier, what comes into view is a wide and straight official road and a huge wooden arch bridge in the distance.

This is a city gate in Hengshan City. There are as many as eight gate openings. The soldiers on duty are strong and capable, wearing armor and armed with sharp weapons. There are quite a few of them, and there are also experts on patrol.

Li Yuan only glanced at them. Without fighting, he couldn't tell the state of these soldiers, but he could tell something about them from the armor on their bodies and their movements when walking.

"Change and walk all over the place..."

The wooden arch bridge is nearly eight feet long, and horses are not allowed on it. Below it is another water vein of the Pingjiang Grand Canal, leading to Dingzhou.

Li Yuan was very vigilant. He glanced at it with his peripheral vision. Within eighty meters, there were many top-quality sharp blades, and occasionally there was the light of famous weapons.

But he walked all the way to the city gate, registered, and entered the city, but he didn't notice anything strange.

"Old Han made a mistake in his calculation?"

Li Yuan's mind changed. He noticed that the light of Feng Lei Ruyi Pei flashed past, and Lao Han did not enter the city.

"Those who use weapons without permission in the city will die!"

"The murderer, die!"

"Those who hurt others will die!"

Behind the long city gate, on both sides of the road, there are twenty or thirty huge stone tablets, each one ten feet high, with many words densely written on them.

Several government officials held up gongs and shouted at the roadside the rules that needed to be followed after entering the city.

"The rules are strict!"

Feng Zhong had stopped and received a booklet from the government officials, which contained various rules. It was distributed free of charge.

Li Yuan and others looked at the stone tablets on both sides.

"Listed on these stone tablets are all the martial arts masters who have not followed the rules and been killed by Longhu Temple over the past thousands of years..."

Various sects, scattered people, court officials, and even masters? !

"Changhong Sword Sect, Taoist Yunzhen..."

Li Yuan was slightly shocked. The Changhong Sword Sect is the Yunmeng Taoist Sect, and its power is no less than that of Longhu Temple. The master of its sect was killed, and he was actually hung on this stone tablet?

Then these two...

Li Yuan suddenly thought about it. The neighborhood was very lively. Pedestrians passing by this Stele Forest Street would stop in fear and awe.

"Behave."

The disciples of Divine Weapon Valley looked at each other and felt at peace in their hearts. The strict rules were naturally a great good thing for them.

Especially Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao and others, the Body Tempering Dacheng is still a master in Gaoliu County, but in Hengshan City, that Jian
