Jiujian Prefecture, Dulu City.

The three of them walked out of the shuttle station, and the scorching sun above their heads emitted an astonishing heat, almost roasting people with oil.

"It's too hot here, isn't it?" Nine days wiped a handful of sweat, the temperature in Dulu City was several degrees higher than Zheng Cheng, and the air was dry.

Walking out onto the street, Jiutian took a lot of pictures of his surroundings. The style of Dulu City is very different from Zhengcheng, and the buildings here are basically water chestnut horns, which have a sharp flavor and are very distinctive.

"Dulu City, I'm here!" Jiutian said a little excitedly, he actually likes to travel and see all kinds of different scenery.

Dulu City is the central city of Jiujian Prefecture and the largest city, similar to Zhengcheng's status in Huazhou. However, the area of the city is very vast, almost the same size as the two Zheng cities.

Before coming to Dulu City, Jiutian had already learned about the information here on the Internet in advance. In fact, in his impression, Dulu City is just a big city.

But after learning about the information on the Internet, I found that this is not the only case. In the mouths of the people of Jiujianzhou, Dulu City is actually a general term for a region, rather than a single city. The population of Dulu City is only 7 million. But if you refer to the entire Dulu City region, the population is tens of millions.

The difference is that the Dulu City area actually covers four cities, and because of the relative proximity to each other, it connects the cities into a metropolitan area.

For example, the position they are in now should be strictly speaking Xia Yu City, not Dulu City. Generally, people in the Dulu City region will say that they are Dulu Xia Yu people or Dulu Shuixin people.

This peculiar geographical division is something I haven't seen in nine days, so it feels very novel.

"But why did it become the Dulu City Region, not the Xia Yu City Region or the Baili City Region?" Jiutian asked Chen Yunyang curiously, after all, the other party was a local.

"That's a long story. Chen Yunyang pondered for a while and said: "First of all, Dulu City is the largest area, the first of the four major cities, and the population is the largest, which is a realistic factor. The second is cultural reasons, according to research, during the Great Chaos Period, the entire Nine Swords Prefecture was known as the land of swordsmen, and there were countless swordsman sects in this place. Among them, there are nine sword sects that are the most famous, on par. ”

"So this is the origin of the name of Jiujian Prefecture?"

"That's right, that's where the name comes from. And now the location of Dulu City is actually the former site of a sword sect called Dulu back then, this sword sect is in the chaos, in fact, it is also the head of each sword sect, there is a city of Dulu Dingtian. And around the Dulu Sword Sect, there are also three other sword sects named Baili Sect, Xia Yu Sect, and Shuixin Sect. These three sword sects are also one of the nine sects. ”

"These four Sword Sects, led by Dulu, formed a strong alliance that ruled the entire Nine Sword State for thousands of years. Until the end of the Great Chaos Era. I heard that there are still four descendants of the Sword Sect, distributed throughout the Dulu City region, carefully guarding the secrets of the sect. ”

Zheng Weiqi immediately laughed when he heard this: "But the descendants of the Sword Sect are all rumors, in the early years, many people claimed to be the descendants of the Sword Sect, and then opened a swordsmanship class. Later, it was verified that it was all nonsense. So far, no real descendants of the Sword Sect have appeared. ”

"Have you been to Jiujian Prefecture?" said Jiutian in surprise.

Hearing this, Zheng Weiqi showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face, and said, "Actually, it's not very glorious to say." Back then, I brought the two brothers Pan Sen and Pan Kai to Jiujian Prefecture for treatment. I heard that there was a descendant of the Sword Sect who was very powerful and could use sword qi to cure diseases, so I went, and then I was deceived of hundreds of thousands. ”

"Even this kind of money is cheated, the liar is too bad, it's really a shame for us people in Jiujian Prefecture!" Chen Yunyang suddenly puffed up.

"What happened to that liar?" asked Jiutian.

"Later?" Zheng Weiqi said with a sneer on his face: "Later, every time the liar mentioned this matter, he excitedly slapped his wheelchair and regretted not doing it at the beginning. ”

Nine Days: "......"

Chen Yunyang: "......"

In fact, speaking of the impression of Jiujian Prefecture, there is another thing that happened a long time ago that impressed Jiutian deeply. That is the antique street gambling incident.

The so-called gambling flowers are actually similar to gambling stones. The land of these three continents, soaked in blood, gave birth to a plant called Thousand Petals. This plant grows underground, looking for items with aura fluctuations to parasitic growth, and it has not broken for thousands of years. After being excavated, it can be re-bloomed and then quickly withered after being exposed to light.

A thousand-petaled spark, no one can tell what is inside except for the shape. It may be a peerless and rare famous utensils from the ancient cultivation era, or it may be a piece of spirit crystal that has long been weathered. A single flower can make a person rich overnight, or it can make a person bankrupt.

That's the gambling flowers.

One of the three major production areas of the Thousand Petals is Jiujian Prefecture, which unearths a large number of Thousand Petals every year and sends them to antique shops on all continents. Although those antique shops that can gamble on flowers claim that the source of their stores is the high-quality thousand-petal secluded from three continents.

But Jiutian knew that this was not the case, and those thousand-petal Youtan sent to other places were actually selected. The really good thousand-petal Yutan will actually be left locally for digestion.

Don't think that you can't tell the content from the outside, so you can choose at will. A truly experienced master can still give an estimate from various aspects such as the origin, size, epidermal texture, and texture of the thousand-petal Youtan. Those thousand-petal Youtan sent to other places are generally sent out after several appraisals.

In fact, the craze for gambling flowers in Jiujian Prefecture can be seen from the Feishuo Station, just opposite the Feishuo Station, there is a very large gambling flower shop, and there are many customers. And there is more than this gambling flower shop nearby, Jiutian stood on the street and glanced at it, and found seven or eight gambling flower shops, some large and some small, and there was no shortage of customers at all.

Of course, in addition to gambling on flowers, Jiujian Prefecture is also a holy place for sword culture, and there are many specialty shops next to Feishuo Station, all of which are selling all kinds of swords. These swords are delicately shaped, and the hilt of the sword is either carved with a dragon and a phoenix, or inlaid with gemstones, which looks extremely luxurious.

However, Zheng Weiqi said that these swords must be unsharpened, and the only function is to decorate and appreciate. If you really want to take it out and fight, I'm afraid you don't know how you died.

The three of them walked around the street, and after eating, they rushed to Yao Man's manor. In fact, Jiutian originally planned to book a hotel and rush to the birthday party tomorrow, but Chen Yunyang insisted that they live in the manor, where there are many vacant rooms.

Nine days of enthusiasm was difficult, so he agreed.
