Chapter 528: The City of Turin

She felt strange at first, and then she realized that these little ghosts thought that she had killed the mayor and the goddess. However, if it wasn't for her interference, the people of the Jinghai Royal Mansion would not have found the mayor, and from this point of view, she did indirectly avenge these children.

On this day, it was still sunny and cloudless. However, when she soared into the sky on Qizai, she keenly felt the change in the direction of the wind.

The northeast wind is finally coming. It will also be accompanied by warm water vapor from the sky over the Mirror Sea, and the great drought that occurs once in 200 years will soon come to an end.

Ning Xiaoxian's estimate was not wrong. Because when Qizai flew forward for nine hundred miles, she finally saw the dense dark clouds, the torrential rain, and the smiles of the mortals bathed in the rain.

Here, it has entered the jurisdiction of the Mirror Sea Palace. And such clouds and torrential rains will soon spread to all areas where water is scarce.

#####

The territory ruled by the Jinghai Royal Mansion was very vast, and Qizai flew unhurriedly for several days before arriving at his destination.

The location of Jinghai is in the middle of Nanbu Continent near the west, from the most splendid Zhongzhou and other places, in fact, it is not too far, so the coastal area also shows a rare prosperity when she travels west, the closer to the sea, near the lake and river, the larger the human settlement area, at least three of the cities she passes through have reached the scale of more than 600,000 people, and one even has a population of more than one million. In this kind of city, the daily production, living, and consumption of supplies are all a staggering figure.

And once there is a shortage of water, the hidden danger is greater than that of ordinary cities. These states she just passed through. The terrain is very gentle, and the alluvial plain at the junction of the river and the sea is in front of it, and the land is fertile and rich. So she looked down from the sky, and everywhere she could see thousands of acres of fertile fields. However, the fields here are green, far less thirsty than those under the jurisdiction of other immortal sect demon sects, and it seems that the life of mortals is much more comfortable.

On the plains, there were a few mountains and valleys that stood out, so it was hard for her to hide her surprise when she saw the imposing embankments in the canyons. These weirs are all made of local materials. It is made of local unique black boulder cuts, and the sparkling Pinghu Lake inside the dam, the waterfall outside the dam, and the scattered gold and broken jade, even from high in the sky, look particularly conspicuous.

It was also the first time she had seen a man-made water conservancy facility in the world. These dams were built at critical points in the upper reaches of the river. In normal times, it can discharge flood water and reduce the damage of large rivers to fields and cities during the flood season, but at this time, it has become a powerful tool for water storage and storage. After months of prolonged drought. It is all about irrigation of farmland.

This kind of large-scale public water conservancy project. It can never be done by an individual, so it must be the handiwork of the King of Jinghai. Although mortals are humble, they are the cornerstone of the superstructure of the immortal cultivation realm, and the immortal silver paid by mortals supports the massive expenses of most of the immortal sect demon sects. However, not everyone is aware of this. No matter what the original intention of the Mirror Sea King's Mansion was, to be able to spend energy to build such a grand project for mortals, the vision, strategy, and scheming of the King of the Mirror Sea were worthy of her admiration.

Not to mention. As she passed through several small towns, she also saw the alms given by the local government and wealthy businessmen to the poor and refugees. Great drought season. The life of the township residents will be much more difficult than the people in the city, Jinghai Wangfu actually sent people to the countryside for disaster relief, although it is only a few bowls of thin rice soup, a few cotton clothes, a few broken felt tents, the people who deliver these things are also a face of "sigh, come to eat" The expression of underbeating, but when you are hungry to death, you have food to eat, when you are so cold that you have clothes, and when you are displaced, you have a felt canopy to live, that is called sending charcoal in the snow, which can make people grateful.

Seeing this qiē, Ning Xiaoxian's heart swelled with faint doubts.

The saying "the human heart is made of flesh" does not apply to this world. Due to the racial barrier, the superior here is especially cold, not to mention others, even the Changtian, Yin Jiuyou or Miluo she knows, who will not have the slightest pity for mortals, and never bother to hide this indifference. And is the Mirror Sea King's action really out of compassion, or is there another purpose?

While thinking about it, the main city under the rule of King Jinghai, Turin City, was already in sight. The city is also located on a huge plain, very close to the sea, and almost from the tower you can see the distant river estuary, where the turbulent water cuts into countless sandbanks, large and small, with hundreds of birds fluttering, a scene of abundance and beauty.

In order to show respect for the local authorities, ordinary immortal cultivators would put away their flying magic weapons when entering large cities and enter on foot, and she was no exception. Qizai's tall real body is almost a pass, and when the city gate guards saw her, they all showed respect on their faces. There are many immortal cultivators who enter and exit the city gate every day, and these guards have long been trained to be sharp-eyed.

She came early, and there were still several days before the old lady's birthday. Ning Xiaoxian was not in a hurry to visit the mansion, but first picked an inn to live in, took a comfortable hot bath, and then released the hidden guards from the god and demon prison. Everyone basically passed the time in prison all the way, and they had already been suffocated, and they scattered in her resting efforts, and soon disappeared into the surging crowd outside the house. The hidden guards have their own way of communicating with each other, and if Ning Xiaoxian summons them, they can all arrive as soon as possible.

Qizai and Qingluan, the two birds, have worked hard all the way, and now that they have just arrived in a place, she can't stop the two of them from going shopping hand in hand, so when Ning Xiaoxian went out, he only brought Gu Mo with him, and he had another monster in his sleeve that was basically desireless.

After washing away the dust, she had time to take a closer look at the city. Probably built on the waterfront, most of the houses are not very tall, but the facades are quite brightly colored. Most of the houses of ordinary people are made of small logs, and the roofing material is made of palm leaves, which are unique to the sea, instead of thatch. However, the sea breeze is very erosive, so the rich house never let the wood be exposed, but uses lime, clay and fine sand to protect the exterior wall inside, which is also made of local materials.

The facades and eaves of countless small buildings in this city were shining faintly in the sun, and she leaned over to look at them with curiosity, only to find that this was probably the color of the crushed shellfish in the sea and the color mixed in the wall.

There are several shallow rivers in the city of Turin, so there are several small bridges of different shapes and styles, from the bridge deck to the main street, all kinds of buildings are lined up one after another, and the autumn light is full of beautiful autumn. She and Kuma walked all the way, and all they saw was the prosperity of the traffic. This is different from the pomp and circumstance she saw in the early years in Rock City, that kind of glitz has no foundation, it seems that the wind will become a passing cloud, and the wealth of this Turin City, from a distance, you can see a faint purple gas rising above the city, condensing but not dispersing, it can be seen that the people here are stable and abundant, and it is a good land with real roots and credentials, and such a foundation can last for a long time.

Seeing her looking around, Kuma couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Ning Xiaoxian shrugged: "I don't know." ”

"I don't know?"

Ning Xiaoxian smiled and said: "Isn't it natural for women to wander around? Anyway, if you have nothing to do today, you just walk around, isn't it also interesting?" Seeing that Kuma didn't speak, but the look in his eyes didn't agree, he remembered: Yes, the hidden stream monsters, including Kuma, used to leave the Ba Snake Mountain Range in a hurry, but I am afraid that I will suffer more if I miss the return trip, and I may not have much time to waste outside leisurely shopping for goods.

"Let's go. She dragged Kuma all the way around without saying much.

Garment shops in the city like to hang a roll of colourful cloth under a signboard, which is very recognizable. They walked into the shop and saw that the clothes sold here were indeed similar to the women's dress style on the street, the color was mainly bright and bright, and the colors of water red, lime yellow, and dark purple were popular, looking both enthusiastic and unrestrained, not like the subtle and gentle in Zhongzhou.

Both of them looked young and beautiful, and they were the favorite customers of the ready-to-wear shop owner, and with each time he walked into a shop, Kuma felt himself stiffer in the murb of mortals. In the past, if someone dared to make such noise in her ears, I am afraid that she would have been whipped into meat sauce by her two whips, but seeing that Ning Xiaoxian's expression was actually smiling, there was no impatience, she had to suppress her temper, until Ning Xiaoxian pressed a bunch of clothes on her and gestured, she was surprised: "This is for me?"

"Yes, let's go and try it. Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but say something, and pushed her into the fitting room.

With so many buttons and so many buckles, her hands can make the finest poisons, but she can't wear these light and fragile clothes! Reluctantly, Kuma put on new clothes, and it took a long time before she came out with a straight face.

"Wow, it's so cute! Sure enough, it's an angel face and a devil figure. Ning Xiaoxian let out a low snort, and the bosses and female guests outside saw it, and everyone applauded. It turns out that whether it is the snow gauze thin silk clothes, or the short and colorful girl's clothes, she has bright eyes and bright teeth, large breasts and thin waist, which is completely different from the gentle beauty that people like at the time, and with a delicate and childlike face, there is a very contradictory but also very seductive beauty.

This ready-to-wear shop asked someone to make an ice prism with an ice charm for female customers to use in the mirror when trying on clothes. People rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, and when Kuma saw himself, he was also stunned. Ning Xiaoxian stood beside her and said complacently: "I really have a good eye, and the clothes I picked fit well." Aha, only your body can wear these clothes to such a stunning effect. Boss, it's all packed. ”

Naturally, Kuma didn't know what "angels" and "devils" were. The clothes she usually wears are all natal magic weapons made of phoenix feathers, where do you need to wear such mortal clothes?But when she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but be in a trance, and an expressionless and stiff face suddenly flashed in her mind, I don't know how he would react when he saw his makeup?
