0242, the prosperity of Taiping City
According to the tradition of [Taiping City], at the last moment before the sun sets every day, the four main gates on all sides of Taiping City will be completely sealed off to defend against the invasion of demons and beasts.
It was already sunset.
In the sky, goose feathers and snow are flying, the sunset is like blood, and there are bewitching red clouds floating in the sky.
At the gate in the southwest, the soldiers of the city lord's mansion who were guarding the city had begun to retreat and seal the door, and the hundred-meter-high iron gate was slowly closing with a loud sound like a beast's wailing under the action of the machine.
After the iron gate is really closed, there will be a huge gate of 500,000 catties behind it, which will slowly fall, making the entire city indestructible.
"Huh, where do you look......" One of the soldiers suddenly noticed something, and pointed to the distance in surprise.
The other dozen or so soldiers turned their heads to look, but saw that on the snowfield in the distance, a long dragon-like snow gas was rolling over, as if it was an arrow from the string, and in the blink of an eye, it had already crossed a distance of several miles and reached the front.
"So fast, is it a demon?" said one of the soldiers nervously.
"No, a knight. The face of the non-commissioned squad leader was full of surprise, "What a speed." ”
In the blink of an eye, everyone felt a flower in front of them, a strong wind rushed towards them like a stormy wave, and in the neighing of the horse, a young knight had come to their approach.
This young man is about fourteen or fifteen years old, his face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are like a sharp sword, he flies obliquely into his temples, his eyes are like stars, containing divine light, his body is slender, heroic, and his body exudes a heroic spirit, and on his shoulder is a white folded ear kitten that seems to wake up and sleep, like a snow ball, cute to the extreme, the white horse under the young man's crotch, about two meters and five meters high, his teeth are like sharp blades, and the muscles of his body are like white jade carved by a master of art, full of explosive power, a little red heart on his forehead, wild and swirling, like a lion and a dragon, incomparably divine horse, as if he is a spirit animal in the sky。
It is really like a person like a jade, a sword like a rainbow, and a horse like a dragon!
The captain of the soldier squad has been stationed at the city gate all the year round, and he has seen a lot of geniuses who come and go, but how have he ever seen such a handsome young man? Together with those soldiers, they were all dumbfounded, and the only thought in their hearts was that this young man definitely had an extraordinary background, but he was afraid that the core true disciple of a certain great sect had entered the world and practiced.
"A few big brothers, I have been on the road for several days, and I have been delayed for a little time, if I want to enter the city, can it be convenient?" Immediately, the young man's face was kind, and his smile was like a spring breeze.
"Haha, it's okay, the city gate hasn't really closed yet, the young man can enter the city by himself, please!" the captain of the non-commissioned squad laughed and ordered someone to get out of the way.
The boy thanked him, rode his horse like a dragon, entered the city, and disappeared into the distant street.
"This young man shouldn't be a genius of the Sword Sect, right?"
"It must have a great background, not to mention anything else, just the horse under the crotch should be the legendary divine horse [Snow Lion Dragon Beast], on the [Shenxing Mount List] in the entire Selangor State, it can be ranked in the top three, worth tens of thousands of catties, we can't earn such a horse in our lifetime!"
"Hehe, my king has guarded the city for six years, and I have also seen a lot of family sons and sect geniuses, all of them are arrogant and pretentious, but compared with the young man just now, it is like a chicken and a dog like a dragon in the sky!"
"Yes, it's even more rare that he is so humble and polite to us low-level soldiers...... This is the real teenage hero!"
A group of soldiers for today's adventure, amazed, discussed, that one person and one riding sassy posture, a glimpse, may be permanently engraved in their minds, become their leisure time to show off the conversation.
......
The boy who entered the city was naturally Ding Hao.
Galloping all the way, I finally came to [Taiping City] before sunset, and I could find a hotel here to spend the night.
This is the first time Ding Hao has come to the human settlement, riding on a horse, looking around, very curious.
The central main street in the city is paved with cyan boulders, extremely smooth, about 20 meters wide, even if ten carriages drive side by side, it is more than enough, every 500 meters, there will be a crossroads, the whole city is divided into squares like a chessboard, the traffic is extremely convenient.
It is conceivable that once there is a demon war, such a wide road can make [Taiping City] send a large number of warriors and manpower to the city wall in a short period of time, and there will definitely be no congestion.
Thousands of years of blood and fire in order to survive have made the city's architecture the first consideration for the convenience of war.
The sun has completely set, the night begins to cover the earth, but there are not many pedestrians on the road, three or three in twos in a group, on the pavilions on both sides, the lanterns have been hung one after another, from a distance, like a bright galaxy in general, the lights are lit, in the darkness swing a circle of orange and yellow misty phosgene, snowflakes in the night to fly to their heart's content, it is beautiful.
Some vendors are still shouting on the roadside, hoping to make another profit before they go home.
There are also warriors who have returned from adventure, and after a day of warning of the danger of hanging, they have returned from the wilderness, or they are in a hurry, or they are drinking and carnivaling freely, or they are discussing the exchange of income in exchange for the necessities of life...... All kinds of people came and went in the streets, and there was a lot of noise.
If it is said that the life above the mountain gate of the Sword Sect is full of coldness and indifference, then the feeling that [Taiping City] gives Ding Hao is full of the taste of the red dust and the world, which is closer to the life of ordinary people and more humane.
As we walked, the street in front of us finally began to narrow, and there were more pedestrians on the road, and the lights were bright, and the shouting and shouting were endless.
This should be the night market of Taiping City.
Ding Hao turned over and dismounted, leading the [Snowy Lion Dragon Beast] to move forward slowly, and he was not in a hurry to find a hotel to stay, he finally came out once, there was still a lot of time, he wanted to experience the prosperity of the Endless Continent Terran settlement.
Along the way, Ding Hao saw all kinds of stalls, clay people, candy blowers, performers, acrobatics, martial arts performances, selling all kinds of well-behaved little beast pets, as well as small noodle stalls, teahouses, ready-to-wear shops, weapon shops, armor shops, and all kinds of snack shops......
A strong aroma fills the sky above the night market, and the voices of people are buzzing.
After casually asking a few words from passers-by, Ding Hao knew that he was really lucky, and he caught up with the night market that happened to be the sixth day of [Taiping City] tonight, so it was so lively and noisy, people came and went, and he saw the most prosperous side here-
