Chapter 3086: Ning Cheng
’s doubts were answered. Mr. Xuan stopped talking about the Ankylosaurus and the Nao family, and discussed with great interest how to eat the eggs.
As we all know, pangolins on Earth are mammals, that is, viviparous animals, while pangolins in the Yunlan world can lay eggs or live births.
This is surprising.
Mr. Xuan was very curious about Poshanlong's eggs and wanted to try various cooking methods.
When the seven beasts heard Brother Xuan and Little Fairy discussing how to eat the Poshan Dragon Eggs, they salivated with greed. They just swallowed dryly and counted the number.
Mr. Xuan and Little Loli chatted for a while and also helped with the work.
The two eldest young men and the beasts sorted the eggs and cubs according to their levels, and then divided 90% of the eggs and cubs into nine parts for the little loli, and then divided the remaining one into nine parts.
They took out more eggs and didn't catch many little Mountain Breakers. After dividing the eggs, they each got about a thousand eggs and more than a hundred little Breakers.
After dividing up the spoils, the four humanoid beasts returned to their animal forms, pounced on the little fairy and used them as pendants, acting coquettishly and cutely.
The little beasts kept talking and were more cheerful than the chirping sparrows. The spirit boat was quite lively.
Mr. Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, the little beauty is back. He no longer has to bear the beasts asking "When will the little fairy arrive" every day as if they were clocking in? He also doesn't have to twist in order to comfort the little beasts. Try your best to find reasons.
There were swamps in the Pingze area. When they were far away from the territory of the Silver Armor Poshanlong family, Leyun stopped in a valley to rest for a while.
The three people and the seven beasts rested for half a night, and then wandered around after dawn, looking for celestial rice and various spiritual plants that could be used as food in various swamps and valleys.
The beasts' favorite thing to do is still fishing.
During the decades that the little fairy stayed in Kuzhuling, she smoked a large amount of smoked fish when making spiritual meals, and also pickled a large amount of bad fish, as well as fish jelly and fish paste.
The seven beasts were not too concerned about others, but they were most concerned about food. In order to accumulate food, they set their sights on fish in the river.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan did not stop his beast friends from capturing them. They worked hard to find various spiritual plants that could be used as condiments and collect Ge Xianmi.
A group of friends were running around in the mountains, like a group of bandits, scaring the little animals and monsters into either escaping or being forced to "retreat".
The three people and seven beasts stayed in the mountain for half a month before Shi Shiran left.
The spirit boat went straight to Ningcheng.
Pingze is about 50 million miles away from Ningcheng, and the spirit boat traveling at a speed of 100 million miles only takes more than 6 hours.
The little Loli set off from the Baiyu Mountains at dawn one day. The spirit boat arrived in Ningcheng in the evening of the same day and changed tools more than a hundred miles away from the city.
The three Mahayana beasts stayed hidden in the Ruyi House again, and the four humanoid beasts followed the little fairy happily.
Le Yunxuan, Shao Yan and three others flew over the mountains and fields on flying swords, and landed outside the south gate of Ningcheng. They were planning to line up to enter the city, but they didn't expect the city guard to open the back door and let them enter the city first.
Young Master Xuan Yan also wore a curtain hat. After landing, he lifted up the gauze in front of the curtain hat and revealed his face.
Classmate Le Xiao also pushed aside a piece of gauze in front of the curtain hat, but his full face was not exposed. Only half of his face below the nose was visible.
Ningcheng is the administrative place of a county. Its city is 9,800 miles wide from north to south and 16,000 miles long from east to west. The highest peak in the city is 160,000 feet high.
The area of Ningcheng has shrunk due to the changes of the times. More than 300,000 years ago, its administrator was not the current empire. The city was more than 5,000 miles wide from north to south and more than 8,000 miles long from east to west.
More than 200,000 years ago, a war broke out in the empire to which Ningcheng belonged. Ningcheng also became a battleground for military strategists, and part of the walled city was destroyed in the war.
After the war, Ningcheng was rebuilt. For safety reasons, after building a wall to protect the city on the original basis, another wall was added to the periphery.
At that time, the administrators of Ningcheng built the outer city wall originally to serve as the first line of defense to protect Ningcheng. With the development of Ningcheng, the original area was obviously not enough. Therefore, the original city wall and the first line of defense were The land between the city walls also became a place for city residents to settle.
Today's Ningcheng is divided into inner city, middle city and outer city.
The South Gate of Ningcheng Outer City has five door openings, the middle is the main city gate, the two door openings on the left or west side are for people entering the city, and the two door openings on the right are passages out of the city.
Even though there are two passages in and out of the city, they are still crowded at times.
In the evening, there were still a lot of people entering and leaving Ningcheng. The people entering the city were on the west side, and there were long lines in front of the two gates.
The gate leading out of the city on the right is also filled with horses and people.
The city guard led the seven monks to the main entrance to apply for identity cards for entering the city.
The rules of Ningcheng are similar to those of some monk cities. You have to pay a poll tax when entering the city. The charging standards are based on the length of time and the person's status. If residents under Ningcheng's jurisdiction enter the city, they can enter and exit on the same day, and only need three spirit beads.
If people from other cities who are not under Ningcheng enter the city, they will receive five spirit beads a day.
If you are a monk, you need a hundred spirit beads to enter the city. If you stay in the city for one to five days, you need one spirit stone. If you stay for more than seven days and less than half a month, you need to pay two spirit stones. The entry fee for one month of stay is four spirit stones. .
If you stay in the city for more than a month, you need to go to the city's urban management office to get a temporary city citizen's identity card.
Teams waiting in line to enter the city are accustomed to the city guards first applying for identity cards for the monks to enter the city.
A group of three people and four beasts invited Lingshi to stay for one month, received identity cards for entering the city, and were led through the door by a city guard.
The city guard sent the seven monks through the city gate and called a carriage for them.
Within the city wall, on the left hand side when entering the city, about a hundred feet away from the city gate, a piece of land was set aside as a special parking lot for carriages and horses, where large and small carriages were parked.
Those carriages are officially owned by Ningcheng. People entering or leaving the city can hire carriages to travel if necessary.
The carriages in the yard are also divided into grades. Some are the simplest oilcloth sheds, and some have ordinary bamboo shed roofs. Some carriages are gorgeously decorated. Not to mention the carriages with carved railings and painted buildings, even the deer and horses are equipped with decorations.
At the request of the guest, the city guard called a luxurious carriage with eight horses. The carriage was also quite wide. The interior was shaped like a small house and could accommodate more than a dozen people.
The luxury carriage was accompanied by two drivers.
The car is a good car, but of course it is also expensive, with a starting price of fifty spiritual stones.
The most important thing that little Loli lacks is spiritual stones. Master Yan Shaoxuan also has plenty of money, so naturally he won't worry about the few spiritual stones for renting a carriage.
Mr. Xuan was a man who knew what was going on. When the city guard called the carriage, he tipped him a piece of spiritual stone.
The city guard was very happy to receive the reward. He gave the coachman a few words and watched the guests board the carriage and set off before returning to the city gate for duty.
The carriage went along the avenue.
The upper part of the carriage wall is a hollow support window, hung with double gauze. There is also a row of cabinets at the rear of the carriage, containing vegetables, tea stoves and chessboards. Guests can make tea or play chess to kill time.
The carriage moved forward steadily. Young Master Yan found the tea stove and lit the charcoal before handing it to Young Master Xuan.
Mr. Xuan took his own pot and put it on the stove, then added spiritual spring water.
After about a quarter of an hour, the water boils.
Mr. Xuan made a pot of tea and took out the spiritual fruit.
Spiritual fruit paired with spiritual tea is extremely elegant.
The four humanoid beasts didn't have the potential to be elegant people, and they didn't have the patience to slowly sip tea. They took out a bag of nuts and knocked on it.
Mr. Xuan made tea for his people, took a plate of ordinary spiritual fruits, treated the two cart drivers to eat, and asked for some news.
The coachman saw with his own eyes that the guest rewarded Chengwei with a spiritual stone. He knew that the guest this time was generous, answered all questions, and enthusiastically introduced Ningcheng's specialties.
Mr. Xuan focused on asking about the rice grain market, as well as where the rice grain was the most and where the animal farms were the most abundant.
The driver did not shy away and suggested going to DC District in the outer city, Dongcheng District in the middle city, and Nancheng District in XC District. There are only a few districts in Ningcheng that produce the most grain.
The Animal Garden is located in the North City and XC Districts of the Outer City. The North City District of the Middle City has the most. If you are looking for textiles and resources needed by monks, go to the Inner City.
Mr. Xuan found out the necessary information, drank tea with Xiao Loli and Mr. Yan, and discussed the itinerary.
Most of the shops were closed at night, and a group of friends didn't get out of the car, letting the carriages and horses go on their way.
The antler carriage traveled all night and arrived at the more prosperous area in the southern part of Ningcheng's outer city.
Little Lolita and her group paid the fare and went shopping by themselves.
The outer city area of Ningcheng is also extremely prosperous. Every street is a commercial street. No shop is empty. There are many kinds of goods and a dazzling array.
Three people and four humanoid beasts were frantically scanning the goods.
The craziest shopper is still the little Lolita. She has a lot of money. Whether it is daily necessities, ornamental items, or edible items, she will package whatever she likes.
Xuan Shaoyan's focus was on buying jars, rice grains, ingredients and other items. When he saw the little Lolita, he bought a lot of oil, vinegar and so on. He also imitated others and bought whatever he saw.
The friends wandered outside Nancheng for ten days and then moved to the DC area.
What the coachman said is true. The DC area is rich in rice grains. Not only grain stores have rice grains, but also every household of people who rely on agriculture to make a living has a large amount of grains in stock.
A group of people wandered around the DC area, emptied out all the rice and grain stores on several streets, and went to some manors to purchase goods. They did not go to Midtown until the last day of the one-month period.
To enter the central city, you need to change your identity card and pay the spirit stone again.
The temporary identity card to enter the central city is limited to three months, and each person must pay 300 yuan in spiritual stones.
The little lolita Xuan Shaoyan happily handed over the spirit stone, took the city entry card and entered the middle city.
The Nancheng District of Zhongcheng is also a grain-producing area. Xuan Shaoyan and his party entered Zhongcheng. When they entered the residential area, they walked along the main road.
At the end of the day, the harvest is rich.
After shopping for a few days, I went to the City Administration Building in Nancheng District.
The City Office Building is equivalent to the modern government and is the official office space. There is a square in front of the building. One side of the City Office Building is the residential area for the district magistrates, staff, government officials and others who manage Nancheng. The other side is the public garden.
Xuan Shaoyan and others were passing by. When they entered the square, they saw a huge stone standing in the square with a person standing on it. They looked at it curiously.
At first glance, his eyes were fixed - that stone statue was clearly a little Lolita!
