Reverend Insanity: Sect. 62: Inner City of Merchants
Fang Yuan paid 200 yuan stones and entered the inner city with Bai Ningbing.
Although the inner city is built in the mountains, the streets are wide enough for ten carriages side by side.
As soon as you enter here, the flow of people suddenly decreases, leaving less than half of the outer city.
But the Master has been everywhere, one turn full of walking, the second turn Master mixed with it, occasionally one, two, three turns.
There are very few ordinary mortals. After all, to enter here, each person needs one hundred yuan. Even though many puppet masters are serving personal slaves, they are reluctant to spend this unjust money.
In the inner city, a type of fossil is commonly used.
The fossil stone burns for a long time, and no smoke is generated. The two Fang Bai walked an average of a hundred steps, and they saw a hole dug in the wall and a pile of fossils burning inside.
While the heat emitted by fossils is not high, so many fosses continue to burn, which still raises the temperature of the air in the inner city and dries.
Unlike the outer city, which has all kinds of buildings, it is very cluttered. The buildings here have been uniformly constructed and have similar shapes, all using heat-resistant red rocks.
Various branch roads extend from both sides of the street.
At the same time, every five hundred steps on the street, a huge column appears.
The spiral surface of the staircase is shaped by a cylindrical surface that extends upwards around the cylinder, with guardrails on the outside of the staircase.
With the stone ladder, people can go to the next floor or the street on the next floor.
The inner city is not a city of ordinary meaning, but three-dimensional. From top to bottom, countless streets and houses are connected to each other and extend in all directions.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing headed towards the mountain all the way, this is not their destination yet.
Somewhere, there was a relapse.
The puppet division of the handlebar is revised higher and the defense is more severe.
"Please stay, do you have a token?" The guard stopped Fang Bai.
Merchants issue tokens with various permissions for people with different identities.
"We are here for the first time." Fang Yuandao.
He certainly has no tokens.
"In that case, please pay two hundred yuan each." Guarded.
Fang Yuan delivers Yuan Shi and the guard releases.
Then they came to the fourth inner city.
After discussing the business for thousands of years, the entire Shanshan Mountain has been transformed by the businessmen. The access roads, sculpture buildings, and district layouts have been dug.
Therefore, the inner city is huge, from the inside to the outside, divided into five areas.
The first inner city, also called the central inner city, is the center of merchant power and a military powerhouse.
The second inner city, also known as the home city, is only available to the children of the merchant's own family.
The third inner city, with its elegant environment and fresh air, is an upscale area.
The fourth inner city is a mid-range area. The fifth inner city is a low-grade area.
Furthermore, it is the outer city, where the flow of people is huge, and the place of cargo loading and unloading is more chaotic than the inner city.
This building structure is like the termite hill on the earth.
Termite Mountain is four meters to ten meters high. Ant colonies live in it, and small channels are connected to each other, which is extremely complicated.
When the two enter the fourth inner city, they feel the air is humid and the temperature gradually drops.
The fourth inner city is one grade higher than the fifth inner city, not only in doubling the import tax, but also in all aspects.
First of all, instead of cheap fossil, daylighting is used to plant a large number of grasses.
The name is Moonlight Creeper.
This kind of vine leaf plant is attached to the cave walls on both sides of the street and spreads everywhere.
The rhizomes are dark blue, and the leaves are wide and large, exuding a slight pale blue moonlight. In a passage, there are thousands of leaves, and the soft blue light is continuous.
Because of the large number of vine leaves, the air here is humid and the water vapor is spreading. Close to the ground, the sedimentation condenses into a mist.
The moonlight refracts in the mist, forming a haze of light. Let people walk on the street, there is an illusion of walking in wonderland.
The buildings here have been decorated with carved patterns, artificial lawns, flower beds, and occasionally rockeries, pavilions and so on.
Pedestrians on the road are even rarer.
The second Zhuanshi division has become the mainstream. After all, for the first Zhuanshi division, the entrance of two hundred yuan is a huge expenditure.
The most obvious feeling is that walking on the fifth inner city is still noisy on the street. When I get here, it's much quieter.
The two went all the way deep into the city gate.
"Without a token, the two will have to pay six hundred yuan to enter the third inner city." The leader of the guardian division has already been converted three times.
Fang Yuan delivered Yuan Shi and finally came to the third zone.
This is different from the fourth inner city.
Star stones are used in all building stones.
This kind of stone is a widely used auxiliary material for smelting magpies. It can emit bright starlight in the dark.
The entire third inner city uses star stones. Not only buildings, but even streets are covered with slate made of star stone.
Looking ahead, the starlight is continuous, the vision is clear, and there is no light obstruction.
The air is also very refreshing. When you look at it, there are pavilions, red walls and green tiles. Moreover, bamboo forests and famous trees were transplanted, rockery was created, and even spring water was seduced.
There are few pedestrians on the street, quiet and pleasant, like a star palace.
"It's really rich ..." Bai Ningbing estimated a little. The cost of the facilities in the immediate area alone is a dizzying amount.
Businessmen are the wealthiest in southern Xinjiang. Some people say that their legs are thicker than other people's waists. Although this statement is exaggerated, it is not groundless.
Businessmen are as rich as mountains. The entire merchant city is a three-dimensional mountain. Merchants are all over southern Xinjiang.
No one outsider can tell exactly how much wealth a business has.
But Fang Yuan knows at least that the cost of this third inner city alone can be worth the sum of the wealth of a dozen ancient moon cottages.
At this point, it's rare to even have a second-rounder.
Occasionally, the two saw a puppet master, almost all of whom had a three-turn series.
Here is Fang Yuan's destination.
Going deeper is the second inner city.
But if you want to enter the second inner city, it is not a problem with Yuanshi. You need a token issued by the merchant. And the specification of this token should be as high as possible.
"Tongyou Shop." Fang Yuan glanced at the plaque and walked in.
This is a shop that sells roundworms.
"Two distinguished guests, please be seated inside." A young girl in charge immediately came over and whispered softly.
Her breath was revealed, and she turned out to be a stunner.
Although both Fang Bai are wearing mortal clothes, one is ugly and the other is downcast, but the girl teacher is still respectful and shows excellent qualities.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing were introduced into the room.
This is a separate room, with wooden tables and chairs, carved beams and paintings, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the white wall, fonts flying and dancing, and pen power.
You can see the courtyard, the red flowers in the wood, and the birds singing in the courtyard through the window lattice.
The girl from Yanshi offered two cups of fragrant tea and then returned.
She just left her front foot, and an old man came in on her hind foot.
"I don't know if the two distinguished guests came to the shop and wanted to buy or sell?" the old man was a second-turner, with a smile on his face, and asked arching.
"I want to buy as well as sell." Fang Yuan answered as he held up his cup.
The old man laughed, two lights flew from his body, suspended in front of Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing, respectively.
It's two bookworms.
The bookworm is just a roundworm, but it is quite precious, comparable to wineworm.
As soon as it appears on the market, it will be snapped up. So often there is no market.
It is shaped like a silkworm pupae. Although it has three body parts: head, chest, and abdomen, the whole body is like a spinning puppet. It is somewhat round and cute.
It is white and covered with a layer of enamel with a shiny light.
It feels smooth and smooth in your hand, as if it is the best porcelain.
Bookworms are storage-type pupae, similar to doushuhua.
The only difference is that pocketbooks store physical objects, while bookworms store intangible knowledge and information. Even if it was self-destructing, it would just explode into a harmless white light.
"Please browse carefully." said the old teacher.
Both bookworms were refined by him, and they were lent to Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing.
The two Fang Bai mobilize a snow and silver real yuan, infused into the bookworm.
The bookworm instantly turned into a white light, and merged into the forehead and eyebrow of the two.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing had a wealth of information in their heads.
These contents are as if imprinted in my mind after repeated recitation.
Bai Ningbing's tongue is secretly secretive, and there are thousands of maggots sold in Tongyou shops! The variety is dazzling.
Among them, there are rare bookworms and wineworms. From low to high, covering one to five turns.
Of course, there are absolutely no six turns.
Each kind of tapeworm has a detailed introduction explaining its function. It is also marked with prices, some of which have higher ranks and are rare and rare maggots, and they also pay special attention to various token standards.
This means that maggots are only eligible to purchase these maggots if they have a token issued by the merchant.
Fang Yuan needs to buy a large number of roundworms. After a rough look, he retracts his mind, summons the bookworms, and returns them to the old man.
Although he now has tens of thousands of yuan stones, there is still a huge gap between the acquisition of these puppets.
The key is not only a matter of money, but also some planned acquisitions, as well as token standards.
"What do you like about this guest? If there are a lot of purchases, we also have discounts at Tongyou shops." The old man smiled.
After seeing Fang Yuan and Bai Ningbing's Xueyin Zhenyuan, he was more polite.
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "No, I have maggots to sell."
Stop, call a bone gun.
The old man is not surprised, too, to buy maggots in Tongyou shops, and sell a lot of maggots.
He grasped the bone gun, and only glanced at him, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Bone gun shot he has never seen.
Of course he hasn't seen it.
This is the only maggot of the gray-bone talent, never circulating in the market.
"Guests are kindly asked." The old man looked somber and arched.
Fang Yuan nodded and took a sip of tea: "It's good to say that this is called a bone gun maggot, but it's a family of tapeworms. I'll lend it to you, you can try it with your hands."
The old man auditioned on the spot and groaned, "Although it is only a turn, it is not very good to raise. But the attack is not bad, it is strange, and it is worth this number."
The old man stretched out his palm, compared to a number. (To be continued. Please search for floating astronomy, novels are better and faster!)
