Mao Zian Town is such a place.
Entering the mountain from here, a straight line distance of twelve thousand miles, one can reach another large region – the Southeast region. For the Wolf Ridge which is hundreds of thousands of miles wide, this is like a thin waist.
There are many places like this in the long Wolf Ridge, but there are not many in Xuanyuan's sphere of influence. Mao Zian Town is such a place.
It can only be called a town, a big town. Because it is close to the Wolf Ridge Mountain Range, the terrain is rugged and does not have the natural conditions to build a large human city. There are not many people living here, and even if there are people, there is not enough flat land for farming.
Lou Xiaoyi carried his conspicuous sword sheath and approached the town in the dusk. What appeared in his eyes was a gathering place that looked like a typical mountainous area.
The entire Town of Spear Point was sandwiched between two hills at an oblique angle. There were not many flat landforms there, and the shape was like a huge spear point. Below the hills, there was a river that split the Town of Spear Point in half, just like a blood groove on the spear point.
In terms of Fengshui, this kind of terrain is not a good place, but in order to survive, how can mortals care about these empty words?
Mao Zian Town is split in half by the river, the South Town and the North Town. The North Town is leaning on a hill, there is a temple called the Wandering Dragon Temple. Behind the South Town is a stone pagoda with only six floors, called the Great Virtue Pagoda.
His sword case is really too eye-catching, if he hides it, it will be inconvenient to release the flying sword. If he carries it, it is almost telling all the cultivators that he is Xuanyuan's external sword. Those who have kindness to repay, those who have enmity to take revenge. It is really inconvenient!
When a cultivator guards a place, it is different from when an official takes office. There is no entourage, of course there is no welcoming party. They come silently, just like how they leave silently.
Cultivators will not participate in the daily management of the town, the town's system is carried out by the local people with prestige. This is also the tradition of the cultivation world, but if a cultivator thinks that this system is not good for the people's lives, he has the right to change it!
There was no possibility of Ye Mao, a local power with deep roots, gathering people to cause chaos, because with the intervention of the power of cultivation, there was no mortal world conspiracy or martial force that could withstand it!
The so-called Guardian Cultivators were actually responsible for supervising cultivators and not mortals. That was their main duty!
Lou Xiaoyi glided across the sky above Mao Point Town and landed directly on the stone tower. Two children were squatting on the ground, holding a large blue and white porcelain bowl, enjoying their dinner. The bowl was filled with white rice, green vegetables, tofu, and a piece of meat.
The food was not bad. Although it was not sumptuous, it was good in that it was large in quantity and was very economical.
Seeing a young Daoist descend from the sky with a familiar sword case on his back, the two boys put down their bowls and kowtowed. They knew that Xuanyuan's master had arrived!
Lou Xiaoyi waved his hand, motioning for them to continue eating. He did not blame them for being too polite, nor did he stop them from kowtowing. This is the rule of this world, and cannot be easily changed. On the contrary, it made people feel uneasy.
On the bottom floor of the tower, there was a magic array made of stone. It was not very exquisite, but it was simple and solid. The magic array was not only on the first floor, but on every floor. However, the main control array was on the bottom floor.
Lou Xiaoyi took out a dozen top-grade spirit stones and placed them in the groove of the array. Then, he took out a special sword talisman and placed it in the center of the array …
Suddenly, the array was activated, and a ray of light came out from the array at the bottom. It was then magnified by the second floor, the third, fourth, and all the way to the sixth floor. A ray of light shot into the sky, and the entire Mao Point Town and its surrounding area were clearly visible!
If one looked down from the sky, this was not a stone tower, but a building with a sword hilt. And the ray of light from the top of the tower was like the body of a sword, piercing the sky!
This was Xuanyuan's World Suppressing Pagoda, or rather, the symbol of Xuanyuan's Sword!
In the vast territory of the Western Regions, as long as it was within Xuanyuan's sphere of influence, there would be such a huge Xuanyuan's Swordsman guarding the important position of Xuanyuan's Sword!
It would tell every passer-by, unintentional, unfathomable, and every cultivator, whose territory this was, and who had the final say!
Every resident of Mao Point Town, every traveler, no matter what they were thinking, as long as they were not blind, they would understand that the light of Xuanyuan's Sword signified the arrival of Xuanyuan's Swordsman!
Xuanyuan used this method to tell everyone about Xuanyuan's existence! And Lou Xiaoyi was the representative of this existence in reality.
It was a bit high-profile, and over time, he had spent a lot of spirit stones. But this was an official expenditure, and should not be his personal burden.
This tower-shaped Xuanyuan's Sword was not only for display, it also had the function of transmitting information. As long as he was willing, he could get in touch with the dome in real time. Of course, in this state, the consumption of spirit stones was exceptionally large. Unless it was an emergency, he could not use it.
After finishing what he needed to do, Lou Xiaoyi stepped out of the stone tower. The two boys had already finished their dinner, and were respectfully waiting for his reprimand.
Don't think that all the boys were poor children. In such a big Mao Point Town, there were tens of thousands of people, and there were so many children of suitable age. How could ordinary people have the opportunity to get close to a master? Just by looking at their delicate skin, one could tell that they were not ordinary people.
Their duty was to take care of the daily life of the master cultivator, but how could they take care of the daily life of a cultivator? It was nothing more than a pretense, and the daily food was sent up by the real servants. How much could the boys use? Their real intention was to please the master, and then there were countless considerations, such as the future of the children, the status of the elders, and the mediation of disputes. If they did not have a good relationship with the master Xuanyuan, how could they sit in the position of power in the mortal world for a long time?
He took out two low-level spirit stones from the storage ring and gave one to each of them. Then he asked them to do their own things. If they had nothing to do, they could sleep. He did not ask.
This made the two boys, who had grown up cautious, a little disappointed. They had heard from their elders that the new master would definitely ask them a lot of questions about Mao Zian Town, about the bureaucrats in Mao Zian Town, about the people's livelihood, about the foreign guests, about the disappearance of the previous master, and so on. They had already memorized the answers in advance!
It was not a complete lie, but it was inevitable to choose good words to hide bad things. These two boys were mature and knew how to talk. After all, many people believed in the words of immature people, and did not believe in the narration of mature people.
In the relationship between mortals and cultivators, there were also many key points. For different groups of people to get along harmoniously, they also needed to be attentive. The way to get along, to put it bluntly, was:
Hide your buttocks, and only show your clean face!
He even rewarded them, but now, he did not ask them a single question. Could it be that he had walked a long way and was tired?
