It's not that Kunlun Ruins doesn't have a city, it just doesn't have a ruling class.
Located more than three thousand miles away from Yang Yuxian Cave, there is a small town in the Western Regions called Longmen Town.
Longmen Town is an old city. Although it is called a town, it covers a large area and is a fortress leading to the wilderness of the Western Region.
The mayor of Longmen Town is named Yang Yun, and Yang Yun is also the current head of the Yang family.
Since the establishment of Longmen Town, the Yang family has been the managers of Longmen Town and has been passed down for more than ten generations.
When this place was desolate and inhabited, the Yang family was the first to build a house here, and then more and more people moved here, forming today's Longmen Town.
To the west of Longmen Town is called Longmen Pass, which is a canyon. Through the canyon is the Western Wasteland, which is boundless. No one knows what is in the Western Wasteland at the end because it is too big.
Longmen Town is like a checkpoint guarding Longmen Pass, with high earth walls and huge stone gates.
On the city wall, there is a man holding a waist sword, with a heroic appearance, a tiger's back and a bear's waist.
There are also some big-headed soldiers, all standing with long spears.
The Yang family and the Yang family's guns are very famous in the Western Regions, so the Yang family naturally recruited some disciples to guard the city.
Zhou Wu, Ao Qian'er and Yang Yuxian have been in Longmen Town for a day. They stayed at the Xiankelai Inn in Longmen Town.
Although there is a wasteland outside Longmen Pass, the inside of the pass is completely different from the outside. The air here is good and the scenery is good.
Xiankelai Inn is one of the largest and best inns in Longmen Town.
In the past few days, Zhou Wu and Ao Qianer have gained a certain understanding of the current Kunlun Ruins.
In Kunlun Ruins, there are many cities, and each city actually has a manager. Some are controlled by sects, some are controlled by families, and there are even cases where several large families jointly control them.
And if you control the city, you can also control the tax revenue within the city.
There is no subordinate relationship between the cities, and the rules and regulations in each city are also different.
For example, Longmen Town has very strict laws. Anyone caught stealing will be beheaded. Dumping of domestic garbage is strictly prohibited here. Those who do dumping will be severely punished, and the fines will be so severe that you can close your business.
Therefore, Longmen Town is very clean and beautiful, and the overall architectural style is also the ancient Chinese architectural style.
The city lord Yang Yun has not yet reached the Nascent Soul state, but he is still considered a high-ranking figure in the Western Region. Such a person is respected wherever he goes.
However, Zhou Wu and Ao Qianer also discovered that there was actually a Nascent Soul Immortal in this city.
Naturally, these Nascent Soul Immortals should all be passing through, passing by here, and then staying to rest, replenish supplies, and so on.
Zhou Wu did not see the realm above Nascent Soul.
The food in Kunlun Ruins is also very delicious. After all, there is no industry here and it has not been developed, so most of the food here is purely natural.
The rice has a refreshing aroma, and there are more game dishes than you can imagine. There is nothing you can’t eat here.
For example, what Zhou Wu ate last night was sauced tiger meat and seven-color sika deer meat, both of which are purely wild.
The wine is also good, including wine made from fruits and wine made from grains, which are very strong and delicious.
Zhou Wu also bought a few tiger skins and planned to go back to give them as gifts.
Naturally, the main consumer currencies here are gold and spiritual stones.
One spiritual stone can only be exchanged for ten taels of gold.
Ten taels of gold is equivalent to a pound, and the gold here is not as expensive as gold in the world.
A delicious meal here costs almost one tael of gold.
If you want to buy some luxury goods, you can only trade them with spirit stones.
For example, high-end silk, shoes or exquisite jade jewelry, fine rice, spiritual meat, etc. must be purchased with spiritual stones.
There is also a pawn shop here where you can exchange money.
Another thing that surprised Zhou Wu the most was that there was a tofu shop diagonally across from Cyclamen, and the shopkeeper was an honest local man with no cultivation skills.
But his wife is a fox demon who has become a spirit. The little fairy is very beautiful. When Zhou Wu sat on the second floor of the inn and looked around, he could always see the little fairy wearing an apron and wearing tattered clothes.
The scene of people grinding tofu in floral shirts.
And this fox demon that has become a spirit has some cultivation. There are two possibilities for being able to transform into a human form.
One is to achieve the golden elixir and transform the inner elixir into gold.
The other type is the child born by the Great Golden Elixir Demon, who takes on a human form after birth.
That tofu Xishi has obviously transformed the inner elixir into the golden elixir.
But she is willing to marry an ordinary human being who makes tofu.
Also, in the streets and alleys, Zhou Wu could often see people walking with demonic auras, including men and women, old and young.
This world is very strange. Humans and demons coexist. Humans do not resent the demons, and the demons do not regard humans as enemies.
This is related to the two leaders of humans and monsters. If the two leaders are hostile, then the two races will definitely not live in peace.
Of course, whether it’s a monster or a human race, there are good people and bad people.
It's not said that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, so what Zhou Wu heard the most in the past two days was horse bandits.
There are particularly many horse bandits in the Western Regions. Because this area is sparsely populated, densely forested, and has many natural fortresses, many horse bandit organizations have been formed.
These horse bandits include humans and demons, and they make a living by robbing passers-by.
However, people who can become horse bandits are also extremely vicious people. Most of these people have offended a certain force or a certain family and have no place to live. Only then do they become horse bandits, robbing homes and houses, etc.
The reason why we have been talking about horse bandits in the past two days is because the granddaughter of City Lord Yang Yun was kidnapped by horse bandits on his way back to the city.
The Yang family originally kept this news secret, not wanting outsiders to know about it.
But I don't know who leaked the news, so the Yang family was suddenly pushed to the forefront.
The Yang family doesn't know who the horse bandit is or where he is.
Therefore, it is difficult for the Yang family to make a decision whether to use ransom to redeem people or go to war with horse bandits.
If a ransom is used to redeem someone, the Yang family will be greatly embarrassed.
Having been running Longmen Town in the Western Region for more than ten generations, he was actually blackmailed by a group of pony bandits. If the money was really used to redeem people, this would undoubtedly lower the reputation of the Yang family.
The Yang family's position as city leader has been unstable in recent years. Many people have focused on the fat man in Longmen Town. If the Yang family didn't act tough at all times, they would have been bullied and run away long ago.
However, if the person is not redeemed, what will the bandit do if he sends back the head of his most beloved grandson?
Wouldn't Yang Yun be so angry that he would vomit blood by then?
So people are talking about how the Yang family will make a decision, and also about which group of horse bandits are so bold that they even dare to rob the city lord's granddaughter.
"By the way, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is recruiting people with lofty ideals. Anyone who can rescue his granddaughter will be rewarded this amount." Someone shook his fist.
"What is this number?" Everyone was curious.
"Fifty thousand, spiritual stones!"
"Five hundred thousand."
Everyone gasped.
For a lone practitioner, half a million spirit stones is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. Even for some big families and sects, half a million is enough to cover food and drink for several years.
Therefore, as soon as 500,000 yuan comes out, someone will definitely come forward.
"Qian'er, let's go, let's go make some money too."
Zhou Wu stood up at this time. In the secular world, he not only had the Yuyang family to support, he also had nine games to support.
Therefore, when he came to Kunlun Ruins this time, it was not just as simple as helping Long find his father, he also wanted to earn some spiritual stones to go back to, otherwise wouldn't this visit be in vain?
