Chapter 444 Tiandou City

Jiangnan in the Xianwu Continent refers to the southern coastal area of ​​the largest river [Lijiang] on the human plain.

In fact, geographically speaking, Jiangnan is further north of Wuxiang Kingdom.

It does not belong to the sphere of influence of the Five Holy Lands, but is similar to the Kuixing countries, with a mixture of forces. There are countless second- and third-rate sects, and there are also several first-rate wealthy sects. The total strength cannot be underestimated. Those who look down upon it may not necessarily be much weaker than the Holy Land.

Of course, it is unrealistic to expect much cohesion from a piece of loose sand.

The folk customs in Jiangnan are fierce, sect wars, and clan fights often occur.

And because there are so many practitioners in this area, the fighting is far more brutal than the other countries in Kuixing.

But in Jiangnan, there is one place that is an exception.

That is the largest city on the south bank of the Lijiang River [Tiandou City].

Although this city was built less than a thousand years ago, it is now the economic and cultural lifeline of Jiangnan, and it is one of the most prosperous areas in Jiangnan.

It is said that a thousand years ago, a large-scale battle broke out in Jiangnan. Dozens of sect forces and hundreds of clans and families were implicated. The war lasted for decades, and the fight was so dark that it eventually led to the death of Jiangnan. The number of monks on the earth dropped by 70%, and they have not yet fully recovered.

Since then, perhaps all parties have also realized that this chaotic situation is not a long-term solution. The leaders of all parties have united to create this Tiandou City, spending a huge price to build Tiandou City. A powerful protective circle was constructed.

Within the scope of the magic circle, it is forbidden to hurt people in fighting skills. Violators will be directly attacked by the magic circle. Even the strong men at the peak of the tribulation will have to shed a layer of skin.

Since the completion of Tiandou City, all forces have sent personnel to station in it. Because of the dead rule that no fighting is allowed, a peaceful, happy and harmonious scene has been forcibly created.

After all, not everyone likes the days of fighting and killing.

Tiandou City has welcomed more and more practitioners, and a large number of ordinary people have also chosen to migrate here. In just a thousand years, the population of Tiandou City and the surrounding areas has increased to over 80 million, with people from all walks of life It prospered and developed, and literati regarded this place as a holy place.

At this moment, Zhao Mu was eating a bowl of hot braised noodles with relish in a breakfast shop on Tiandou City South Street.

"Suck..."

After eating and drinking, Zhao Mu paid the bill, then got up and went to the street, starting to wander around.

He had just arrived in Tiandou City not long ago. After having a general understanding of the history of Tiandou City, he was still quite curious about this prosperous Jiangnan city.

Along the way, he really felt that Tiandou City had a unique atmosphere.

Obviously, under the restrictions of the magic circle, practitioners lose the advantage of using force to suppress others, but Zhao Mu feels here that he is more free and open, and there is a scene of a prosperous age where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

There are many buildings and shops along the street, with an endless stream of pedestrians, the shouts of hawkers, the smell of fireworks, the young ladies parading together, and the intellectuals walking around and chanting poems...

Whether they are cultivators or ordinary people, at this moment, they all seem to be equal masters of this city.

This kind of scene can't be encountered anywhere else.

The huge disparity in strength between practitioners and mortals seems to no longer exist here.

But Zhao Mu also saw some drawbacks.

The prosperity and stability on the surface of Tiandou City are based on the powerful restraint ability of the guardian array.

But can the guardian array really ensure absolutely zero violence in Tiandou City?

At least, this protective formation is ineffective against Zhao Mu.

As a grand master of formations, he could easily destroy Tiandou City's protective formation, but the protective formation had no restraint effect on him at all.

This means that he can use violence as much as he wants in the city, but others will not be able to resist him at all.

Of course, monsters like Zhao Mu are rare in the entire Xianwu Continent.

Practitioners with this kind of ability must already be the top experts standing on the top of the pyramid, and they would not go to places like Tiandou City to show off their power.

The fact that Tiandou City can exist for thousands of years shows that this model is still feasible.

After all, not everyone in this world is competitive.

There are also many practitioners who just want to live a peaceful life, so Tiandou City is their best choice.

Not to mention the common people, they would have to squeeze in even if they had their heads sharpened.

After some investigation, Zhao Mu put his thoughts aside.

Nanhua Mountain is hundreds of miles south of Tiandou City. He just wanted to stroll around Tiandou City for the past three days, and he was not here for research and study. There was no need to study so much.

In such a huge Xianwu Continent, there is no such thing as a place, so if you come, you will find peace with it.

"Young people stay."

Suddenly, Zhao Mu was stopped by a woman. She asked Zhao Mu mysteriously: "Young man, do you have any faith?"

Zhao Mu was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I only believe in myself."

The woman hurriedly took out a pamphlet and stuffed it into Zhao Mu's hand.

"We, the United Church, are recruiting believers. It won't hurt if young people learn about it."

After saying that, the woman turned and left, looking for the next target.

Looking at the promotional pamphlet with the four characters "Gui Yi Mantra" written in his hand, Zhao Mu fell into a state of speechlessness for a while.

Did all the preaching come to him?

It seems that Guiyijiao is expanding very quickly and has already extended its business to Tiandou City.

Zhao Mu opened the booklet and took a look.

There is nothing new in it, it is just that believing in one god ensures peace, makes you rich, gets a good marriage, and cures diseases and disasters.

Shinto beliefs are not actually popular on the Xianwu Continent, where the practice of immortality is the main focus. It can even be said to be a niche.

Moreover, many evil gods came to the Xianwu Continent back then, which also left a bad impression on the world of Shinto.

Therefore, the best way to develop Shinto is to start from the lowest level of the general public.

Immortalism doesn't care about ordinary people who have no talent, but they also need spiritual sustenance, which gives Shinto room to take advantage of the situation.

But that's not a bad thing.

The world is hard, no matter what you believe in, it is good to have someone to rely on.

The greatest role of faith in ordinary people lies in its ability to unite people.

Gathering a large number of people on the grounds of belief is also a means of self-protection for the bottom population.

People gathered to gather firewood to keep warm, and the flames were high.

This is one of the reasons why many people are still willing to offer their faith even though they know that the eyes of the gods and Buddhas are unlikely to fall on themselves.

While thinking, Zhao Mu suddenly sensed something. He looked over and saw that in the most prosperous area along the street, a shop named Zhenbao Pavilion was doing brisk business.

"Sure enough, I saw it right. Ning Qingying is here as well. What a coincidence."

Zhao Mu didn't expect to meet his old friends here. He was so happy that he strode toward the Treasure Pavilion.
