After Gu Qingxi and Jueming separated, he let the flying boat fly forward slowly on its own while he read the introduction to the Netherworld Swamp in the Yuanzhen Continent illustrated book.
Netherworld Swamp is located in the westernmost part of Southern Border. As for how big it is, the map does not indicate it. In other words, no one has completely explored Netherworld Swamp, so there is no complete map.
There are also towns not far away from Netherworld Swamp, but they are all scattered. To go to the Netherworld Swamp, you must first pass through these inhabited mountains, then pass through a water forest, and then reach the Netherworld Swamp.
This lofty mountain is called Netherworld Mountain. The mountains are rugged and steep, but human wisdom can always impress the world. In these mountains, humans have carved out a lot of flat land for living. Some residents only climb up and down their houses by climbing a very thick vine. Some have built a plank road along the edge of the cliff, which looks very dangerous.
What Gu Qingxi didn't expect was that in such a remote place, there was actually an inn and Wanbao Tower run by the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce.
The scale of the Wanbao Tower here is not smaller than that of some small cities, but the construction of this Wanbao Tower is very novel.
This building is five stories high and is built around a huge tree. The center of the tree has not been completely hollowed out, only half of it, so the tree has not lost its vitality and is still lush and green.
Gu Qingxi went in curiously and walked around, and found that most of the things sold inside were various herbs and materials that were common in other cities. The output of Netherworld Swamp accounts for only a small part here.
Gu Qingxi immediately understood that since there was no shortage of things produced in Netherworld Swamp here, they should not be sold at a high price and would naturally have to be transported to other cities for sale.
When Gu Qingxi was shopping, a waiter greeted her warmly: "Is this your first time coming to Netherworld Swamp, girl? If you want to enter Netherworld Swamp, you must first cross the water forest. I suggest you buy a water boat. Because once you enter In the water forest, the spiritual power of the monks is suppressed there, and it would be more laborious to fly the sword through there.
The water in the underwater forest is dark and sticky, making it difficult to use ordinary swimming tools. Our water boats are made from trees in the forest and can float easily on the water.
Moreover, when the girl used the water boat to cross the forest, she could also collect some herbs in the forest that are only found in the forest.
After entering the Netherworld Swamp, it is recommended to buy this kind of thrust vehicle, which will be very convenient for traveling in the swamp. "
After hearing this, Gu Qingxi asked the waiter if he could show it.
The waiter took out a water boat and a thrust car and showed them to Gu Qingxi.
When Gu Qingxi saw it, she was a little surprised. Boats on the water are very common. They are just flat boats with a very light hull and are indeed very convenient to travel.
But the thrust car surprised Gu Qingxi. Because the shape of this impact car looks like a motorcycle! It's just that there are no wheels underneath, but a relatively large floating board. Driven by spirit stones, it can float in low-lying water and travel on mud. This simple land and water means of transportation opened Gu Qingxi's eyes.
This thrust vehicle looks so much like a motorcycle, does it have something to do with the great being who has been to the earth? Gu Qingxi couldn't help but speculate in her heart.
Gu Qingxi bought these two tools without saying anything. After buying some things at the waiter's suggestion, I left Wanbao Building and started walking around this small town.
The ordinary people here are simple and live mainly by hunting and gathering. As the saying goes, the residents of Netherworld Mountain rely on the mountains to live on.
Residents of this town can buy things with gold and silver, but they can also barter.
The most popular place is on a flat land, and the roads here are all dirt roads, no stone roads. On both sides of the road are simple sparse wooden fences, which means that there is a road inside the fence and various vegetation outside the fence.
Gu Qingxi stood by the fence and looked at the various strange plants outside. Some were huge mushrooms, so big that she could stand under them to hide from the rain. However, the umbrella of this mushroom is red, so it must be poisonous. Otherwise, could such a large and edible mushroom still grow safely on the roadside?
Some are clumps of plants similar to reeds, but much taller than reeds. Some are low trees covered with various vines, and the vines are full of colorful flowers. There are huge butterflies flying around the vines collecting honey.
In the center of the town, there are two restaurants. It's better to say it's a restaurant than a stall. Because it was just a shed set up on the roadside with a few tables.
Gu Qingxi found a stall, sat down, and asked the boss to serve his specialty dishes.
The boss was a little surprised that a monk would come to his place for dinner. But the food was served quickly and deftly.
There is cured deer meat, soy-flavored pheasant meat, mushroom soup, and an unknown vegetable that resembles bracken in cold salad. Gu Qingxi started eating slowly, chatting with the boss while eating, because she was the only customer in this stall now.
"Xianjun, does the taste of the dishes meet your taste?" The boss is a simple and honest man with fair skin. This is not surprising, Netherworld Mountain does not see the sun all year round, and most people here have relatively moist and fair skin.
"It tastes good." Gu Qingxi replied with a smile. In fact, these game meats are not very delicious, but they are better because they retain the original flavor of the ingredients. The mushroom soup is also delicious.
"I only set up here three days a month, and today is the second day. During these three days of each month, people from the surrounding villages come here to buy things or exchange items. It is already afternoon, and everyone has dispersed. If the immortal comes earlier tomorrow, it will be more lively here." The boss said with a smile, "My home is right up there, not far away, so I stop by and set up a stall every month to make some money."
The boss said and pointed to his home.
Gu Qingxi looked up and saw, hey, good guy, the boss's home is on a mountain wall. A large piece of it was hollowed out and several houses were built there. There is a plank road leading to his home. There is a thick vine on the edge of the platform in front of his house. When you want to come down, just grab the vine and slide down.
"Is it difficult to get up and down every time?" Gu Qingxi asked smoothly.
"We are used to it. People here are very comfortable climbing vines. If I don't carry anything on my back, I will climb up along the vines, which is much faster than walking on the plank road. The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will also help us strengthen the vines every year , to prevent us from getting into trouble. The boss of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce is a good person." The boss said with a smile.
Gu Qingxi became even more curious after hearing these words. The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce's wide range of coverage was somewhat unexpected.
