"Master, what are the seven alliances?"
"What a boy, let me explain it to you." "Local native" Ming Chengkang explained to Li Huanzhen with a smile, "After the war between humans and demons, Sifang City was built, and then the city guard was born, who was the first city lord. Guards are responsible for enforcing the law within the city and resisting foreign invasion. The first city lord established the three major laws of Sifang City. Article 1 Sifang City opens its gates widely to protect everyone in the world. Whether you are a mortal or a monk, you can enter Sifang City. To avoid war or enemy pursuit,
As long as you enter the city, Sifang City will provide you with protection. All fighting is prohibited in Sifang City. If the two sides have a grudge, they can only fight to the death at the Mingwang Tower in the city if both parties agree. Otherwise, the city guards will He knows how to enforce the law and kill both fighting parties or throw them out of the city."
Speaking of this, Ming Chengkang showed a hint of murderous intent on his face, "Later, on the basis of the city guard, the tenth generation city guard captain established Mingwang Prefecture, recruited casual cultivators from all walks of life, and selected the best among them to enrich the city guard. Later, as more and more mortal monks came to settle in Sifang City due to vendettas or wars, six major alliances appeared, namely Shura Terrace, Phantom Sound Valley, Hanyu Tower, Shence Mansion, and Huangyu Pavilion. It sounds like a sect, but more often than not it’s like an organization where a few casual cultivators gather together to form a group!”
"What a kid, if there's anything else you want to know, I'll tell you one by one. I know more than an old drunkard, hahahaha..."
Sifang City, this behemoth has been standing in the world for who knows how long. It is no longer appropriate to describe it as a city. The city walls that stretch for thousands of miles seem to have runes printed on each brick. Sifang City can be called It is the largest city in the world. If you stand on the four-sided city wall and look out at this huge city, you will find that there are undulating mountains and rivers in the square city. There are both mountain peaks, valleys, and forests and lakes in the city.
Moreover, here, buildings and city outlines can be seen everywhere. There are row upon row of buildings and palaces built in Pingchuan, forming a town. There are also ancient buildings and palaces built in high mountains and ridges, even in valleys and lakes. You can also see people.
For a mortal, it takes a month to walk from the northernmost gate of Sifang City to the southernmost gate. Sifang City is said to be a city, but it looks more like a country. There are countless residents living here, just like a country. The appearance of the country, I don’t know how many people live in the city. Immortal cultivators who are hiding from their enemies, casual cultivators who are looking for the way to cultivate immortality, and mortals who are avoiding the wars in the Five Kingdoms, etc. live here. In the Sifang City, the immortal cultivators are no longer so aloof. But it is within reach to live like ordinary people.
No one knows when Sifang City originated. In short, Sifang City existed a long time ago, and the people living in Sifang City look like the people outside. There are monks, common people, and inherited sects...
In Sifang City, it is very lively no matter day or night. During the day, vendors are walking on the streets, shouting and selling. At night, everywhere is brightly lit and full of people, filled with the atmosphere of earthly fireworks.
The things that mortals trade here are ordinary yellow and white things, but the monks only see more things in exchange for things, and there is also a kind of currency called Xuanjing that is widely circulated in the world of immortality, and it looks different. Small, a mortal looks like an ordinary stone,
When a true cultivator touches the Xuan Crystal, he will feel that it contains the vast spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The higher the quality of the Xuan Crystal, the more spiritual energy it contains. The greater role of the Xuan Crystal is to provide a large amount of spiritual energy to the cultivator in daily practice. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth saves time for cultivators to gather spiritual energy and refine it into true energy. When fighting enemies in the wild, the effect is more obvious. When the true energy in the body is exhausted, taking out the mysterious crystal can quickly replenish the true energy, so it is The hard currency in the world of immortality is divided into four levels: upper, middle, lower, and holy items.
It is said that there was a mysterious world in the time of Taihuang. The aura of heaven and earth was the richest among the six realms. The Xuan Realm became a broken place for some reason. A large number of Xuan Crystal mineral deposits in the broken Xuan Realm were scattered to other realms, and gradually evolved into something that was circulated among monks.
And why in this Sifang City, immortal cultivators and mortals can coexist peacefully without fighting. The key lies in the Sifang City Guards who belong to the main palace of Sifang City as the law enforcers in Sifang City.
The City Lord's Mansion is located on the mountainside of Sifang Mountain in the center of Sifang City. It is a huge wooden and stone building that occupies the entire mountainside. The door of the City Lord's Mansion is closed all day long. No one has seen anyone coming in or out, while the Sifang City Guards are Scattered throughout Sifang City, under the orders of the city guard captain, the city lord's palace has actually become a symbol. The successive city lords have never shown their true faces in front of others.
Over the years, there have been powerful men who came to Sifang City to stir up trouble or sects who tried to occupy Sifang City, but the city lord's palace did not take action. Instead, the city guards and the outer sect of the city guards, Ming Wangzhou, killed them one by one, even if they fled thousands of miles away. , was finally caught and killed on the spot, and the forbidden techniques used by those who wanted to use forbidden techniques to refine the entire city turned into dust and smoke in front of the Sifang City's protective formation.
So in the following years, no one dared to challenge the foundation of this giant city, and during these processes, the City Lord's Mansion did not take any action. No one could guess how strong the Sifang City Lord was, and it gradually became the world of immortal cultivation. in the legend.
Then the Seven Alliance organizations headed by Ming Wangzhou gradually became the de facto maintainers of order in Sifang City. All major matters in the city were negotiated by the Seven Alliances, and all immortal cultivators in the city were required to abide by them.
Ming Chengkang, the leader of the Mingwangzhou Alliance, was currently sitting in Juxianglou, a famous wine shop in Sifang City, quarreling with an old drunkard in slovenly clothes.
They were all monks, so naturally they couldn't get drunk with wine in this world. Without wine, everyone would get drunk. Li Huanzhen sat aside and listened to them.
"Old Mingtou, the cured duck in Juxianglou is really amazing. I can't get enough of it. You are really enjoying your life here. There is nothing on Xuanji's mountain, it's lifeless."
"Humph, given your seniority, if you are greedy and just go down the mountain to eat, who will stop you!"
"That's right, that's right. You sent me a message this time. Isn't it about that?"
"Yes, the day is coming soon." Ming Chengkang's face wrinkled, a little complicated.
"Then, you won't be able to get food from the Great Alliance Leader anymore?" Fuyaozi said sternly.
"There's nothing we can do. We've sent another message. This time all five of us are going up..."
Li Huanzhen on the side had just learned that his uncle came here at the invitation of Ming Chengkang. Firstly, it was to get together with old friends, and secondly, the city lord's palace, which had been silent for many years, suddenly sent a letter to the city guard half a month ago.
The City Lord's Mansion issued an edict to promote the Sifang City Guards to the City Lord's Mansion for cultivation. In the past, the best of the Sifang City Guards were selected to enter the City Lord's Mansion for higher immortality. After entering the Mansion, they would no longer be born. The person never appeared in Sifang City again, and this time all the Sifang City guards were ordered to enter the mansion. Ming Chengkang's current Sifang City guards were not many, only five of them. Ming Chengkang was the captain, guarding the peace of Sifang City. , more than seventy years ago.
This time the city lord's palace's edict is equivalent to canceling the inheritance of Sifang City Guards, which means that the law enforcement of Sifang City will fall on the shoulders of the seven alliances headed by Ming Wangzhou. Ming Chengkang invited Fuyaozi to come this time , originally wanted to entrust Mingwangzhou to Fuyaozi, an old friend, but Fuyaozi had a loose nature and did not want to take this heavy responsibility, so he had to give up. After Ming Chengkang repeatedly told him, he had to take the name of Mingwangzhou's protector.
"There have been rumors that successive city lords were selected from the city guards who entered the palace. Maybe you, old Mingtou, will be the successor of the next city lord?" Fuyaozi took a sip of wine and squinted his eyes and joked at Ming Chengkang.
"Where did you hear the rumors? As a Sifang City Guard, I don't know. How would outsiders know? Entering the city's main palace is the long-cherished destiny of every Sifang City Guard. It reminds us that we have to bid farewell to our previous life. The journey of cultivating immortals is extremely boring. Only you, old drunkard, can be open-minded, follow your heart, and not be burdened by the word "cultivation"." Ming Chengkang said while looking at the light rain falling outside the window. . . . .
