Chapter 216 Qingyun
The scorching sun is shining in the sky, and the blue sky is boundless.
A black gold airship was flying at high speed in the blue sky. The airship had two pointed ends and a round shape in the middle. It looked like a giant golden date stone.
The four-foot-long Xuanjin airship has a cabin in the middle two feet that can accommodate twelve people.
At the moment, there are only four people sitting in the cabin and one little black cat.
Gao Xian and Yun Chenglin, the shopkeeper of Yunshui Tower in Lianyuncheng, sat across from each other, and the two of them were chatting along the way.
Mainly Yun Chenglin introduced the local customs and customs of Qingyun City to Gao Xian, and also gave some general information about Qingyun Sect.
Yun Chenglin is more measured, and he only touches on the situation of Qingyun Sect.
Gao Xian just chatted casually, not thinking about any inside information about Yun Chenglin.
The Qingyun Sect's power scale is a hundred times that of the Lianyun Sect, and its internal situation is so complicated that even Yun Qiushui would have a hard time explaining it clearly in a short period of time. Not to mention that Yun Chenglin is just a peripheral deacon of Yunshui Tower, and he may not have access to the secrets of Qingyun Sect.
He knew the news, which was probably just some rumors. If you really listen to him, you might fall into the ditch.
Gao Xian's idea here is very simple, that is, to pretend to be a true disciple.
As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.
He got acquainted with Yun Qiushui by chance, so of course he had to use this personal connection.
The path of a practitioner is so bumpy and rugged that one wrong step may change your destiny.
Being able to practice in a large sect like Qingyun Sect will definitely save you countless detours.
Gao Xianzheng was chatting with Yun Chenglin. Wan Yingying, who was leaning against the window next to her, suddenly shouted excitedly: "Brother, Qingyun City, Qingyun City is here."
Wan Yingying was just in a position where she could see the huge city in front of her. In fact, she couldn't see clearly. She could only see a large number of buildings rolling up and down from a distance, spreading out on the ground. The densely packed buildings could not be seen at a glance.
Yun Chenglin stood up and looked outside, with a smile on his face: "Qingyun City is ahead of us, our trip went really smoothly."
From Lianyun City to Qingyun City, it is at least tens of thousands of miles away. Although the Xuanjin flying ship is fast, it still takes two days and two nights to arrive.
Flying this way, ninety-nine percent of the way here is deserted mountains, hills and grassy beaches.
There are inevitably various demonic birds among them, and some demonic birds can fly faster than Xuanjin airships.
Xuanjin flying ships traveling between Qingyun and Lianyun cities are often attacked by demonic birds. This is also the fundamental reason why they use a fully enclosed Xuanjin airship to fly.
Yun Chenglin traveled between the two places many times. It was rare for such a smooth trip to happen, so he was in a good mood.
Yun Chenglin had something very important to do when he returned to Qingyun City this time, and he happened to bring Gao Xian, Wan Yingying, Daniel and a little black cat with him.
For this purpose, Gao Xian paid the freight of eight hundred spirit stones. Yun Chenglin discounted this because he was an old customer.
Gao Xian originally thought the price was a bit expensive, but after doing it all the way, he felt it was pretty good.
The closed Xuanjin spaceship is not very spacious but quite comfortable. Especially since Wan Yingying is young and has low cultivation level, she cannot bear to fly day and night, so she must have a good rest.
Little black cats are also relatively delicate and need to be taken good care of. Only the big cowhide is durable. He has taken care of Wan Yingying and the little black cat for the past two days, and he already looks tired.
Seeing Qingyun City, Daniel was also refreshed and finally arrived.
Gao Xian stood up and walked to the window, and the huge Qingyun City came into his eyes.
Qingyun City and Lianyun City are very similar in terms of topography and environment. They are both surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The difference is that Qingyun City is backed by towering green mountains, with green clouds lingering on the mountain peaks, connecting the green mountains and blue sky together.
With such high mountains and vast sky, misty clouds, several flocks of birds circling among them, and an occasional ray of light appearing and disappearing, it really feels like a fairyland.
The huge city under the mountain peak is neatly planned, and the criss-crossing straight streets divide the city neatly into areas, like a giant chessboard.
Gao Xian sighed at this. He had seen many well-planned cities in his previous life, but in terms of strict planning, Qingyun City was far better than all the cities he had seen.
Each long street is extremely straight, without any bends, unnecessary buildings or obstacles.
Yun Chenglin introduced at the side: "Qingyun City has thirteen long streets running through the whole city, with a total of 169 lanes. According to the two long streets in the middle, it can be divided into four districts: southeast, northwest and northwest..." Gao Xianrao Looking at the layout of Qingyun City with interest, it looks very similar to Lianyun City, only larger and more regular.
According to Yun Chenglin, when Qingyun City was first established, a Qingyun Sect Yuanying sword cultivator personally took action and carved out the thirteen long streets of Qingyun City with his peerless sword power.
Thousands of years have passed, but his peerless sword power still persists, maintaining the order and order across Thirteenth Street.
So, Lianyun City actually imitated the pattern of Qingyun City. It's just that without the peerless sword, the city cannot be divided as strictly as Qingyun City.
At such a distance, Gao Xian could feel the strong aura of Qingyun City. According to the classification of spiritual energy, Lianyun City is considered a second-level spiritual land, and Qingyun City is at least a third-level spiritual land. Especially Qingyun Mountain, the rich spiritual energy is as dense as clouds...
Gao Xian sighed in his heart, it is such a spiritual place, no wonder cultivators from all over the world are trying to squeeze in here with their heads broken.
“There are three million people in Qingyun City, of which one million have primary registration and more than two million have guest registration…”
Gao Xian asked curiously: "What do you mean by home and guest?"
“The main registered person is a native of Qingyun City and is registered in the Qingyun City household registration. The guest registered person is a cultivator without household registration.”
Yun Chenglin explained: "Consumption in Qingyun City is high, and locals will receive various preferential treatment. Cultivators with guest status have to pay higher costs for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Consumption here is high, and it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to live here permanently..."
Speaking of these, Yun Chenglin was also full of emotion. As the deacon of Yunshui Tower, he had to struggle for many years to obtain the main residence of Qingyun City.
90% of his family members and friends have no registered residence, and he has nothing to do about it.
The main registration is passed down from generation to generation. Even though there are hundreds of thousands of household registrations, there are not many main registrations that are spread to the outside world.
Every year, a large number of casual cultivators come to Qingyun City with dreams and invest everything here. However, most of them can only return to their hometowns alone and sadly, not even qualified to stay in Qingyun City for retirement.
Yun Chenglin quickly realized that there were some things he shouldn't say, and he hurriedly added: "Those are low-level monks, and fellow Taoists are great foundation-building monks. Let alone Qingyun City, there is no problem even if you go to the main city of Wanfeng to establish a foothold. "
Gao Xian smiled and said, "I am not familiar with this place, so I would like to ask my Taoist friends to take care of me."
“Guan Zhao doesn't dare to say anything. If you have anything to do with fellow Taoist, just give me your instructions. I still have some connections in Qingyun City…”
Yun Chenglin quickly apologized. Although he was the deacon of Yunshui Tower, Gao Xian was a foundation-building monk. There was a big gap in their identities.
He called Gao Xian a Taoist friend, which was actually a bit too much. But Gao Xian insisted on it, and the two parties cooperated happily, so it was called that.
Yun Chenglin is actually not very optimistic about Gao Xian's future. Gao Xian is known as the first foundation-building monk of the four sects. He is certainly majestic and unrivaled within the four sects.
But this is Qingyun City, with thirty-six sects under its jurisdiction. Small sects such as Lianyun and Qingfeng, which are located on the edge of Mingzhou, can only be ranked at the bottom among the thirty-six sects.
The Qingyun Dharma Assembly is held once every sixty years, and geniuses from all sects will gather here.
Gao Xian wants to sweep through the crowd and come out on top. This is too difficult!
No matter what, Gao Xian is not something he can offend. If the other party has needs, of course he will try his best to help.
The Xuanjin airship slowly landed in the open square outside the north gate of Qingyun City. Yun Chenglin led Gao Xian and others to register. Each person paid ten spiritual stones in exchange for a waist badge representing temporary residence.
Yun Chenglin explained: "The waistband is changed every six months. If you don't have the waistband, you will be arrested by the law enforcement team. The consequences are quite serious. Taoist friends and others must be careful..."
Wan Yingying and Danniu were shocked. They had to pay twenty spiritual stones to live here for a year without doing anything. The price was ridiculously expensive.
Gao Xian didn't pay attention. This kind of rule was of course for the purpose of making money, and at the same time, it could better control the population and prevent too many casual cultivators from flowing in.
Gao Xian hired a carriage and arrived at the door of a house in the East District according to the address he left before.
Da Niu went up to call the door, and after a while Zhou Ye came out and opened the door with an impatient look on his face, "Who is it?"
Zhou Ye was startled when he saw Gao Xian at the door, "You're here..."
Gao Xian looked past Zhou Ye towards the courtyard, "Where is Yu Ling?"
"Well…"
