Chapter 444: Heaven Dou City
Chapter 444: Heaven Dou City
Jiangnan in Xianwu Continent refers to the southern coastal area of the largest river [Lijiang] on the Terran Plain.
In fact, in terms of geographical location, Jiangnan is a little bit north of Wuxiang Kingdom.
It does not belong to the sphere of influence of the Five Great Sacred Lands, but is similar to the Kuixing countries, with mixed forces, there are countless second- and third-rate sects, and there are also a few first-rate wealthy sects. The overall strength cannot be underestimated. If you look at it, it may not be much weaker than the Holy Land.
Of course, it is unrealistic to expect how much cohesion can be produced by a plate of loose sand.
The folk customs in the south of the Yangtze River are tough, and clan wars and clan fights often occur.
And because there are so many practitioners in this area, the fighting is far more tragic than that of the Kuixing countries.
But in Jiangnan, there is one place that is an exception.
That is the largest city [Tian Dou City] on the south bank of the Li River.
Although the city was built less than a thousand years ago, it is now the economic and cultural lifeline of Jiangnan, and it is the most prosperous area in Jiangnan.
It is said that thousands of years ago, a large-scale battle broke out in the south of the Yangtze River. Dozens of sect forces and hundreds of clans and families were involved. The war lasted for decades. The number of monks on the land has dropped by 70%, and they have not been able to fully recover so far.
Since then, perhaps the forces of all parties have also realized that it is not a long-term solution for this chaotic pattern to continue. Constructed a powerful guardian array.
Within the range of the magic circle, it is forbidden to fight and hurt people. Violators will be directly attacked by the magic circle, and even the strongest at the peak of the tribulation will have to shed a layer of skin.
Since the completion of Tiandou City, various forces have sent personnel to station in it. Because of the deadlock rule of not being able to fight martial arts, they forcibly created a peaceful, healthy and happy scene.
After all, it is not the day when everyone likes to fight and kill.
Tiandou City has welcomed more and more practitioners to settle in, and a large number of ordinary people have also chosen to migrate here. In just a thousand years, the population of Tiandou City and its surrounding areas has skyrocketed to 80 million. Prosperity and development, literati and inkmen all regard this place as a holy place.
At this moment, Zhao Mu is eating a bowl of hot braised noodles with great relish in a breakfast shop on South Street of Tiandou City.
"Suck up..."
After eating and drinking enough, Zhao Mu paid the bill, then got up and went to the street, and started to wander.
He had just arrived in Tiandou City not long ago, and after getting a general understanding of the history of Tiandou City, he was quite curious about this bustling Jiangnan city.
Along the way, he really felt that there was a unique atmosphere in Tiandou city.
Obviously, under the restriction of the magic circle, practitioners lose the advantage of using force to suppress others, but Zhao Mu feels more free and open here, and there is a prosperous scene of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending.
There are many buildings on the side of the street, there are many shops, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, the sound of hawking, the smell of fireworks, the ladies parading the streets together, the cultural people walking birds and reciting poems...
Whether it is a cultivator or an ordinary person, at this moment, it seems that they all become the masters of this city equally.
This kind of scene can't be seen anywhere else.
The disparity in strength between practitioners and mortals seems to no longer exist here.
But Zhao Mu also sees some drawbacks.
The prosperity and stability on the surface of Tiandou City are based on the powerful restraint of the guardian formation.
But can the guardian formation really ensure that there is absolutely zero violence in Tiandou City?
At least, this guardian formation is ineffective against Zhao Mu.
As the grand master of the formation, he can easily destroy the guardian formation of Tiandou City, but the guardian formation has no restraint effect on him at all.
This means that he can use violence to his heart's content in the city, but others cannot resist him at all.
Of course, such an evildoer as Zhao Mu is rare in the entire Xianwu Continent.
Practitioners with this kind of ability must already be the top powerhouses standing on the top of the pyramid, and they will not go to places like Tiandou City to show off their might.
The existence of Tiandou City for thousands of years shows that this model is still feasible.
After all, not everyone in this world is competitive.
There are also many practitioners who just want to live in peace and stability, so Tiandoucheng is their best choice.
Not to mention ordinary people, they have to squeeze in even if their heads are sharpened.
After some investigation, Zhao Mu put away his thoughts.
Nanhua Mountain is hundreds of miles south of Tiandou City. He just wanted to wander around Tiandou City these three days, and he didn't come here for research and study, so there was no need to delve into it so much.
In such a huge Xianwu Continent, there is no such place, and if it comes, it will be safe.
"Young people stay."
Suddenly, Zhao Mu was stopped by a woman, who asked Zhao Mu mysteriously, "Young man, do you have faith?"
&nbssp; Zhao Mu was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "I only believe in myself."
The woman hurriedly took out a booklet and stuffed it into Zhao Mu's hand.
"Our Guiyi Sect is currently recruiting believers. It won't hurt for young people to learn about it."
After speaking, the woman turned and left, looking for the next target.
Looking at the promotional pamphlet with the four big characters [Guiyi Mantra] written in his hand, Zhao Mu fell into a state of speechlessness for a while.
Has the preaching been passed on to him?
It seems that Guiyijiao's expansion speed is quite fast, and it has already developed its business to Tiandou City.
Zhao Mu opened the booklet and took a look.
There's nothing novel about it, it's nothing more than believing in one god to keep you safe, get rich, get married, get rid of illnesses and misfortunes, and so on.
On the Xianwu Continent, where Shinto belief is mainly about cultivating the immortal way, it is actually not popular, and it can even be said to be a minority.
Moreover, many evil gods came to the Xianwu Continent back then, which also left a bad impression on the world about Shinto.
Therefore, the best way to develop Shinto is to start from the bottom level of the general public.
Xiandao doesn't care about ordinary people without talent, but they also need spiritual sustenance, which allows Shendao to take advantage of the gap.
But that's not a bad thing either.
The world is hard, no matter what you believe, it is good to have someone to rely on.
The greatest effect of faith on ordinary people lies in the ability to gather.
Gathering a large number of people on the basis of belief is also a means of self-protection for the bottom population.
Report to the group to keep warm, everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high.
This is also one of the reasons why many people are still willing to offer their faith even though they know that the eyes of the gods and Buddhas cannot fall on their insignificant self.
While thinking, Zhao Mu suddenly sensed something. Looking over, he suddenly saw a booming shop named Zhenbao Pavilion in the most prosperous area along the street.
"Sure enough, I'm not mistaken, Ning Qingying is also here, what a coincidence."
Zhao Mu didn't expect to meet old friends here, so he felt happy for a moment, and strode towards Zhenbao Pavilion with great strides.
