On the south bank of the Nulong River is a majestic city.
But the style of the city is very different from that of human cities. Most of the city is underwater, with only a dome and an observation deck above the water.
Although it was a recently built city, the bricks on the city wall were covered with a thick layer of moss. Even though it was located in the north, it was full of vitality.
The city submerged in the water is not a complete wall, but has countless hexagonal holes. The rushing Raging Dragon River water passes through these holes, but it just drives the countless rollers inside.
There are a large number of runes engraved on those rollers. Driven by the water flow, these runes are constantly changing and interlacing. Each breath is combined into a different formation, covering the entire city.
If there are people here who are proficient in formations, they will naturally recognize that most of these formations are mainly focused on gathering spirits, nourishing qi, and bringing luck.
The construction of this city is also ingenious, using the natural water power of the Nulong River to operate such a dense and huge formation. Any creature living here can improve its talents after a long period of spiritual energy and blessing.
"Qiu Tiju, this is the future residence of the Golden Thread Loach Clan."
The two giant gods stopped and looked down at the huge city in front of them. They reached out and threw the bags and treasure basins, and countless black figures screamed and fell from the sky into the water.
The Nulong River is fast, but after the water force is dispersed through the zigzag holes in the outer wall, the water flow into the city becomes much softer, and people will not feel uncomfortable when it washes against them.
This group of little loaches were also heartless. After seeing that their king was nearby, they didn't care where they and others were, and happily scuttled around the city.
Some loaches even got into the holes and let the rushing water wash over their bodies, looking very happy.
A little loach was greedy and took a bite of the moss growing on the wall. The delicious taste instantly made his eyes light up. Compared to the water plants in the underground river, this is so delicious.
There is even a hint of spiritual essence in it, and consuming it for a long time will definitely improve your cultivation.
"Thank you, you two. I think this city doesn't have a name yet, so I'll help you come up with a name."
"I think this city is so big that it can be called the largest in the North. The outside of the city is covered with green moss, so let's call it [Green Head City]..."
Qiu Ping shook his head and stood on a high place, overlooking the entire city.
He was quite satisfied with this name. The leader means the first, which means to be the best.
Moreover, he won the title of [Youshen Tournament] this year, so he should publicize it everywhere and let everyone know about it.
"This city has a special meaning. King Ming Ling Zhu Bi gave it [Binglin City]."
One of the tall gods twitched the corner of his mouth inaudibly. What is this [Green Head City]? Why isn't it called Turtle Head City? These are all messy names.
As he spoke, he took out a page of paper from his sleeve.
The paper flew up directly, landed on the top of the city, and was printed heavily.
In an instant, three large square characters "Binglin City" appeared on the top of the city. The strokes look ordinary, but they seem to contain great principles.
Then the entire city's formation echoed these three words and started running wildly, and its effectiveness in gathering good fortune was greatly increased.
"This name...hey..."
Qiu Ping sighed. When he becomes a leader one day, he will definitely have to make names for himself and put his full talents to good use.
He felt that [Binglin City] sounded too elegant. Why don't you call it [Winterfell].
The two gods on the side saw the little loach sighing and wanted to kick his butt hard.
This boy really knows no blessings in the midst of blessings. There is an inscription by King Mingling, and the words contain unbreakable power. If you want to break the city, you must first break the name of King Mingling.
But in this world, there are very few people with this strength.
And generally, people with this strength would not be able to attack a city full of loaches.
…
"Bah, bah, bah."
Qiu Ping held a large ball of moss and chewed it. Behind him was a large circle of small loaches, densely packed, and they all ate the moss.
After eating a few bites, I tore off a piece from the side. The moss grew very fast, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is simply an inexhaustible large granary!
Although Qiu Ping is used to eating spiritual fruits, these mosses with rare spiritual essence are not very tasty to him. But this kind of spiritual material with large yield, rapid growth and almost no choice of growing environment made him very emotional.
When he was a child, he grew up in the underground river. Food there was extremely scarce. In order to get a bite to eat, they had to constantly fight and kill. Also be careful and careful, don't let yourself become someone else's food.
Life is getting better now, everyone can have enough to eat. And not only are you full, but you can also eat well.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look what we found!"
Several small loaches swam over and dragged Qiu Ping forward. Not long after, a large mud pond about a hundred feet long and wide appeared in front of them.
The moment the little loach saw this mud pond, his eyes lit up.
Obviously, the [Tiangong Division] who built the city considered the user experience and set up many mud ponds in the city, basically every two streets.
Qiu Ping plunged into a mud pond, happily got in, swam under the mud for dozens of feet, and then emerged from the other side.
Little loaches also jumped in and rolled happily in the mud pond.
The pond mud here has been carefully screened and is very fine, giving it the texture of facial mask mud. When crawling in the mud, the silky mud passes over your body, making your soul tremble.
The most surprising thing is that a large number of herbs that like a cold and humid environment are planted at the bottom of these pond mud. The essence and medicinal power of these herbs will continue to penetrate into the pond mud, turning it into medicinal mud.
Playing here is equivalent to practicing in disguise.
"Go ahead."
Qiu Ping waved his fins wildly and swung his tail, moving forward like a tractor, constantly throwing up the mud. The mud turned into mud particles and fell down, hitting other small loaches. Everyone just felt very happy.
"Xiaowan, come down and play together."
The little loach plunged into the mud, poked its head out again, and happily waved to Gu Xiaowan on the shore.
Gu Xiaowan looked embarrassed, she didn't want to make herself dirty.
"The pond mud here can beautify your skin."
Little Loach's next words made her whole face tangled up. It sounded very tempting, but...
"Snapped."
Before she could make a decision, a ball of mud fell on her face.
Looking ahead again, the little loach was lying in the mud laughing.
"Qiu Ping! You are dead!"
Gu Xiaowan couldn't care about anything else at this moment. He rushed into the mud pond and grabbed the little loach.
But the little loach was too slippery and quickly ran away.
"Oh, these loaches are so easy to satisfy."
The two gods in the distance looked at the happy loaches and couldn't help but sigh.
These pond mud are just made from the medicinal residues from the [Elixir of Medicine Department] mixed with soil. The elixir planted at the bottom is just the most common and ordinary [Wu Guang Moss], and its status in the spiritual world is almost the same as that of mortals. The foxtail grass of the world.
However, they also envy the simple joys of these loaches.
The higher they practice, the more they seek and fear. How can they keep their original intention like these little loaches?
…
"Qiu Tiju, it's time for us to hit the road."
Gu Xiaowan patted Qiu Ping's head and dragged him onto the bronze chariot.
Qiu Ping turned his head and looked at the city, which was mostly submerged in water. In the holes, there were small loaches swimming happily, and some loaches were eating moss, refusing to vomit out even if their stomachs were bulging. .
The most enviable thing are the several large mud ponds in the city, which are full of loaches. From time to time, when a loach comes out with a head of soft mud on its head, the throat of the little loach rolls.
Damn it, before I came here I was worried that you would suffer hardship in the Northland, but how to compare with your life, I am the one who endures hardship.
Qiu Ping's heart was unbalanced.
His kind of thinking is typical of the fact that he is afraid that his tribe will suffer hardships, and he is also afraid that his tribe will drive Land Rovers.
"Let's go, let's go. You've been absent from work for half a month. The state has given you an ultimatum. If you don't come back, you will be fired."
Gu Xiaowan shook Qiu Ping and said loudly.
Hearing this, Qiu Ping was startled and his mind became clearer.
It was hard for him to climb into this position. If he was fired, he couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
"drive!"
He was about to look back to take one last look at his clansmen, but Gu Xiaowan didn't give him a chance at all. The carriage flew directly into the air, with firelight flying on it, and flew hundreds of miles away in the blink of an eye.
Little Loach let out a long sigh and decided to apply to work in Beidi when the opportunity arose.
If that doesn't work, you can build an identical city for me in Qingzhou.
The little loach was full of reluctance and fell asleep amidst the slight bumps of the carriage.
However, when he fell asleep, the invisible stagnation of energy around him suddenly dispersed.
At the same time, his mana began to grow and his energy became purer.
In this short period of time, his practice has improved even further.
Gu Xiaowan was surprised that he had passed another difficulty.
It's only been more than a month since this kid last survived a disaster. This little loach's cultivation talent is too strong.
The Qi that just overflowed from the little loach was pure and natural, and the cause and effect all over his body seemed to have dispersed, as if he had overcome the nine difficulties of [blood relative entanglement].
Husband loves his wife and children, cherishes his parents, and the bonds of kindness and affection increase every day. Even if you have a peaceful mind, it is difficult to defeat the state of sorrow. For patients who follow Taoism, this is the entanglement of blood relatives, which is the third difficulty in spiritual practice.
Most of the creatures did not pop out from the cracks in the rocks. They all have blood relatives from their parents. Every living being in the world is inevitably affected or even coerced by these family ties.
Only by truly letting go of ties can we keep our souls pure and make progress in spiritual practice.
Just like Gu Xiaowan, this level was very difficult for her. The favor she received from her parents was so great that it was extremely difficult to give it up or repay it. She probably had to wait until the end to get over it.
"Huh? Why did you pass another level?"
After half an hour of sleep, Qiu Ping finally regained consciousness.
The first time he woke up, he found that his cultivation level had increased again.
It has only been half a year since he entered Yuanshen. He has already survived four disasters and his cultivation speed is not unpleasant.
However, while he was happy, he also felt a little guilty.
These catastrophes had been passed through in a daze, and he really didn't know what was going on.
I don’t know if there will be any hidden dangers.
…
After returning from [Binglin City], although Xiao Niyi still missed the life there, he finally returned to his normal work.
Moreover, he seemed to have discovered something remarkable while he was fishing... ahem, working.
"Ding-dang-dang."
He stretched out his hand to hold three dice. As soon as he let go, the dice began to spin around in a sea bowl. When they stopped, they found that the dice showed six points.
He lost several times in a row, each time at six points.
"How's it going? Isn't it great?"
Qiu Ping smiled proudly at Gu Xiaowan and said, "With this ability, if I come back to Earth, even if I can't be called the God of Gamblers, it's okay to be called the Gambler Monster."
"It's so boring. This little trick was something I could do when I first derived my divine mind."
Gu Xiaowan glanced at Qiu Ping speechlessly, this was too childish.
As long as your mind moves, I can squeeze out seven points for you if you want.
"No, no, no, I didn't use my spiritual thoughts just now, and I didn't have any special techniques. I just tossed them casually, and they were six points."
In order to increase his persuasion, the little loach threw it again.
Looking back at this, Xiaowan looked carefully and found no trace of Qiu Ping using his spiritual thoughts.
According to her understanding of Qiu Ping, the other party would not lie to her about this kind of thing. Does that mean that Little Loach really didn't cheat?
"I'll throw four, five, six for you this time!"
"Ding-dang-dang."
Qiu Ping tossed it again, and after a few turns of the three dice, they turned into the three numbers "four, five, six".
"Hahahaha, I'm so awesome!"
Qiu Ping laughed.
He discovered this situation after the last encounter with [Yu Hu]. After defeating Yu Hu, he peeled the eggs in a restaurant and found that they were all double yolks.
He thought it was just an accident, but since then, he has noticed that his luck seems to have improved a lot.
Although it's just some piecemeal luck, it's easier to throw the number you want than throwing dice, and you can pick up some scattered small spiritual objects while walking from time to time.
He also tried to make some relatively big wishes, such as hoping to get an "above" rating in the quarterly evaluation, but in the end he still got a "middle-to-lower" rating, which is neither good nor bad.
He can neither be promoted nor lose his position.
