Chapter 281: Cuibai Main City, the Hometown of the Past! (Two in One)

Seeing this group of warriors rushing over, Song Pingan and Su Qingqing wanted to take the two dogs to the battlefield to fight.

Song Changming didn't have the patience to waste time with this group of people.

With one step, the purple-gold electric current rushed to the surroundings, like a deadly electric snake.

Buzz!

A group of people were entangled by the electric snakes, and screams rang out in an instant, and they all collapsed to the ground.

They were horrified to find that using internal energy to protect themselves was not effective against these electric snakes.

"Innate Gangqi!!"

The person leading the way was so scared that his soul was scared and he knelt on the ground.

Song Changming had not shown his ability before, but now he showed his innate Gangqi as soon as he appeared, which was enough to sweep all of them!

This is also a very normal thing. Don't think that Song Changming has encountered many innate warriors before, and think that innate people in Guyuan Country can be seen everywhere, and you can meet several of them even when you go to the toilet.

In fact, apart from Chu Wantong and Huang Silang who served as generals under the city lord, in the folk, innate warriors are still relatively rare.

Therefore, the robbers were shocked by the innate energy displayed by Song Changming, and they knew that they had hit a wall today.

Song Changming ignored the voices of the group of people begging for mercy, turned around and took Su Qingqing away from the white forest, leaving Song Ping'an to deal with the group of people.

"Really no soul-locking talisman? Don't you recognize the disciples of Fushan Sect?" Song Ping'an stood in front of the group of people, his face frosty, and asked in a muffled voice.

"This" The guide was speechless. Obviously, these were indeed fabricated, just to trick Song Ping'an to this place.

"Okay, then there is nothing to say." Song Ping'an drew his sword and said nothing more.

He had no psychological burden to kill this group of evil people.

After experiencing this, the group did not stay for too long and set off again.

After that, there was no soul-locking talisman in several large cities along the way. Song Changming hurriedly passed by, thinking of going to the main city first.

The main city of Cuibai, located in the center of Cuibai Road, is the concentration of political power and governs one side.

Some of them are similar to the county towns of Dalai, but the scale of the city is completely incomparable.

The entire main city is said to be able to accommodate a population of tens of millions.

God knows how exaggerated the materials and manpower required to build such a huge city are.

The huge four-sided walls alone are an astronomical figure that is difficult to estimate.

A wide official road that can accommodate ten carriages in parallel extends to a hundred miles outside the city.

Two big dogs like lions and tigers are walking in it, and their magical appearance has also attracted many passers-by to look sideways.

On the back of the big dog, Song Changming watched the carriages and horses on the official road. There was no more lively here before.

As the economic center of Cuibai Road and a major commercial city, the daily flow of people in the main city is naturally needless to say.

"Friend, your two big dogs are really majestic and domineering. I wonder if I can sell them for fifty low-grade spirit crystals?" A carriage passed by, and a young man in brocade clothes in the carriage suddenly asked Song Changming.

Hearing this, Dabai just glanced at the young man indifferently, while Dahuang bared his teeth with an unfriendly look.

"Hey, you are quite intelligent. How about one hundred low-grade spiritual crystals?" Before Song Changming could reply, the young man raised the price again.

Now Song Changming has some understanding, and he knows that the young man is very generous. The price of one hundred low-grade spiritual crystals is not low.

Ordinary domesticated beasts are not worth this money.

"I don't plan to sell it." Song Changming shook his head and refused.

In fact, there are quite a few people who have taken a fancy to the two dogs along the way, and they all directly offered a price and asked Song Changming if he could give them up.

Song Changming would not accept it.

Dahuang and Dabai were picked up by him when he was in a humble situation. Later, they ate the Dragon Pearl to evolve. From then on, they shed their mediocrity and followed him all the way from Dalai to Guyuan Country.

After decades of getting along, they naturally have a deep relationship. How could he sell these two dogs for a few spiritual crystals?

Seeing Song Changming's straightforward refusal, the young man's expression quickly turned cold. Just as he was about to say something else, a subtle voice suddenly came from the carriage.

"Master, the other party is a congenital warrior, let's forget it."

The young man frowned when he heard this, but finally snorted, put down the curtain, and said nothing more.

"Could this guy force a sale?" Song Ping'an observed the change in the other party's expression and said unhappily.

"Forget it." Song Changming shook his head and said nothing more.

This main city is not like other places. There are too many crouching dragons and crouching tigers. It is possible that there is a dragon crossing the river in the carriage.

As long as the other party does not come to provoke him, he does not care what the other party thinks.

His eyes fell on Su Qingqing behind him.

Now that they are not far from the main city, Su Qingqing has become silent again.

Changsheng Su is in this Cuibai main city.

She has been away from home for more than 20 years. Now she returns, and she does not know what the result will be.

"No matter what, stay calm and don't get carried away." As the main city of Cuibai got closer and closer, Song Changming couldn't help but remind him.

"I remember, sir." Su Qingqing nodded calmly, her face serious.

Song Changming said no more.

Another hour passed, and the hundred-mile official road was quickly completed.

The main city of Cuibai also appeared on the horizon. From a distance, the tall and thick black city walls could be seen, which were more majestic and shocking than the walls of the big cities seen along the way.

Like a pitch-black giant, it lay prone on the plain.

This main city of Cuibai has a long history of thousands of years. It has always been firmly occupied by the human race, and the foreign races have never shaken it.

As they got closer, Song Changming seemed to be able to feel the hardships and long years that this city had borne, and he stood in awe unconsciously.

In the sky, a team of falcons flew out from the direction of the city in an orderly manner, passing over the heads of Song Changming and his party.

Song Changming saw clearly that there was a figure riding on the flying falcons.

This was the guard cavalry of the main city, the patrol unit in the air.

Those falcons wearing armor were of course tamed flying mounts.

"Stop, where are you from? Each person needs to pay a hundred coins to enter the city." A burly man wearing white cloud pattern armor stopped Song Changming and his party and said in a buzzing voice.

Song Changming glanced at the others. It was not necessary to leave the city, but they all paid a hundred coins to enter the city.

"This is the rule of the main city, not targeting you. If not, everyone will squeeze into the main city."

Beside the burly man, another city gate guard seemed more patient. He seemed to see that Song Changming and others had arrived for the first time, so he explained it a little more.

"Yeah, I understand." Song Changming nodded, and didn't say much.

Since the rule is like this, they just do it.

One hundred coins is not too much or too little for ordinary people, it is almost enough for a family's meals.

And for a warrior like Song Changming, it is even more insignificant.

As the city gate guard said, this entrance fee is just a threshold, which cannot be too high or too low, and it must be just right to block some outsiders.

Prevent people from other towns and villages from running to the main city, and no one will go to develop other places on Cuibai Road.

After paying the fee and telling them that they came from Fengcheng, the guard only took a look at the two big dogs and let them pass.

The city wall is so thick that a city gate corridor is like a mountain tunnel.

After entering the city wall, there are layers of buildings, pavilions and roofs.

The main road is wider than the official road outside the city, and the towers and watchtowers that are thousands of meters high, as well as some magnificent large buildings, are also very eye-catching.

These large-scale buildings can be found everywhere in the city.

What Song Changming cares most about is another high wall he saw when he looked into the city from a distance.

"Friend, may I ask what that is?" Song Changming asked a warrior who happened to pass by.

The middle-aged man in shorts and holding a knife also looked at the two big dogs behind Song Changming first, and then looked at the high wall in the city.

"Brother, this is your first time in the main city." The middle-aged man chuckled and explained to Song Changming.

"That is the inner wall, and inside is the fourth district."

Song Changming understood it.

This Cuibai main city has a total of five urban areas, the core city in the center, and the four urban areas that have been expanding outward since then.

These five urban areas together constitute such a huge framework of Cuibai main city!

There is a high wall between each urban area, which is basically a symbol left over from history.

In fact, the original Cuibai main city was only as big as the core urban area.

But later, the alien races rose, the human race declined, and the land of Jiuzhou was invaded by various alien races. After the great migration of populations in various states, this Cuibai main city also squeezed in too many people and appeared overly bloated.

This is why there was a process of expansion again and again.

Therefore, the birth of each urban area is the result of an expansion several years later.

These four extra urban areas mean that this main city has been expanded four times in thousands of years.

The high wall is a symbol left after the original city wall was demolished.

As for why they did not choose to demolish it completely and let the five urban areas merge, this involves the issue of people's hearts and political power.

It's not that they don't want to demolish it, but too many people don't want to demolish it. Over time, the high wall has been standing, and each district is clearly divided.

"Originally, except for the core area, the remaining four districts were not much different except that the area was getting bigger and bigger. But since when, the powerful families and various forces have moved to the inner city, so that gradually there is a saying.

The closer to the core city, the closer to power and wealth. Today, this saying has become the mainstream and a reality," the middle-aged man shook his head.

"When I was a child, my family lived in the third district, but later my family fell into decline, and my father had to sell the property in the third district and moved to the outermost city.

Fortunately, I still have some martial arts qualifications. Now I practice martial arts and join the Cuiqi Army, so I moved to the fourth district with my family. One day, I will definitely buy back the family house in the third district."

To a certain extent, returning to the third district is an important symbol of his family's resurgence, which is of great significance.

"So that's how it is." After listening to this, Song Changming also roughly understood this main city of Cuibai.

The past deeds experienced by this person also basically proved that the people in different districts almost represented different classes.

The wall was just the materialization of class barriers.

Song Changming didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

In his opinion, as long as there are groups in any place, there will be classes, which will divide the groups into different levels.

There are civilians, powerful people, powerful people, and insidious and cunning people.

This is the case with Dalai, and the human race of Guyuan is no exception, but the way it is manifested in different places is different.

Then Song Changming asked the Su family in the main city and got an expected answer.

The Su family is an immortal family and is located in the central core city. In terms of power and reputation, it is at the top of the city.

"Dong Qing, leave quickly. If you are late, you will be beaten and scolded by the commander!" Two other companions urged.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to talk to Song Changming, but after hearing this, his face changed slightly, and he immediately said goodbye and left in a hurry.

"So we are in the fifth city area now." Song Pingan looked around.

As the outermost city, the Fifth City District has been built for decades, and now it has gathered a large population.

Looking around, the streets and alleys are full of people and crowds.

Most of these people are ordinary civilians, traffickers and pawns. This is the most smoky city.

As they walked through the streets, Song Changming bought Su Qingqing Zhongyi's candied haws skewers.

"How?" Song Changming asked.

"I seem to have been here before," Su Qingqing said with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, frowning.

"That's right." Song Changming nodded.

The second day.

A carriage slowly drove past the high wall from the fifth city district, into the fourth city district, and then to the third and second city districts.

There are high walls erected between each urban area, but the high walls do not really restrict people's access. In name, everyone can enter and exit completely freely.

However, most residents only move around within their own boundaries and rarely enter other urban areas.

There is no other reason. The real limitation is the money in everyone's hands.

Ordinary people cannot afford to spend money in higher urban areas, so they can only go back to their own comfort and stay there.

"Sir, the entrance to the core city is just ahead. Small carriages may not be allowed in." The coachman turned to the carriage and said.

"If I let you in, just go in and stop talking nonsense." Song Ping'an said very dissatisfied when he saw that the coachman had been hesitating.

"Young one, I don't dare." The coachman said with a grimace.

"Then you stay outside and wait for us to come out and return the carriage."

Song Ping'an didn't want to be ink, so he gave the coachman some more money, drove him out of the car, and drove the carriage towards the entrance of the core city.

"Stop, ordinary people are not allowed to enter this place." Several guards with strong aura shouted.

Song Ping'an, who was acting as the coachman, was about to speak when a powerful aura came out of the carriage, causing the expressions of the guards to change suddenly.

"Innately strong!"

"I came here today to admire the fame of the Immortal Su family. I wonder if I am qualified to enter the city?" Song Changming did not show up, only his voice came from the carriage.

"Enough, enough." The guard quickly gave way, and the carriage slowly drove into the core city.

Access to the outer four cities is free, but if you want to enter the core city, you need a certain threshold.

Either you have to be rich or noble, you have to have high strength, or you have to be recommended by someone before you can enter.

Song Changming showed his Xiantian Realm strength. He is considered a powerful person, so he can enter.

Entering the core city, you immediately feel the difference.

There are magnificent mansions with red walls, green tiles, and upturned eaves. The buildings on the street look extremely noble.

It was immediately obvious that he was in a rich area.

In addition, another obvious difference is that the spiritual energy here is stronger than the four districts in the outer city.

"This is it!"

As soon as she entered the core city, Su Qingqing sat in the carriage and looked at the street scene passing in front of her. All the scenes deep in her past memory emerged.

She was extremely certain that this was the hometown where she was born and raised, and she had always been attached to it!
