"Stop! Everyone get down!"

Two great monks in the foundation building stage stopped them at the door. Through the monks driving, Tian Xiaobao knew that this was someone arranged by the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.

Manage the entrances and exits to prevent evil cultivators and monsters from entering.

"Sir, we are Yuzhou people who are out to pick up guests. This is our identity certificate. It was issued to us by Capital Yufang."

The leader took out a jade plaque from his storage bag. He didn't know what was written on it, but he probably meant that they were formal and officially certified.

The two foundation-building monks looked at all the documents carefully, then raised their heads and said to the leader:

"Okay, you can enter, but these outsiders must pay the entrance fee before they can enter."

As soon as these words came out, some monks were reluctant.

You have to pay for riding in a carriage, but you also have to pay for entering the dungeon? Even if they have just come out of the Suzaku Secret Realm and have a lot of money, they don’t want to be taken advantage of!

"Why? My family has been in the capital for generations. Why do I have to hand over spiritual stones to enter this underground city?"

"That's right! I am the son of the Chief Secretary of the Zhou Dynasty! My father is Zong Rongxu. Let me in quickly!"

……

The two foundation-building monks quietly watched the angry monks making trouble without saying a word.

As time went by, people gradually quieted down and began to think calmly about the situation.

These two people are not just random cats and dogs. They are members of the royal family. The fees they charge are collected for the royal family. No matter what, the capital is at the feet of the emperor.

Secondly, these two people are great monks in the foundation-building stage. The highest level of their group is Qi Practicing Dzogchen. There are not many monks in the foundation-building stage.

Upon closer inspection, it seems that no matter how much trouble I make, I don't seem to be making any money.

Looking at the monster birds and blood-red clouds circling in the sky.

Finally someone couldn't bear it anymore.

"Forget it! I'll pay for this spiritual stone! How much does it cost?"

"Sixty spirit stones per person." One of the foundation-building monks said quietly.

"What?! It's so expensive, more expensive than riding in a carriage!... Here you go!"

"Hahaha, those who know the current affairs are heroes. This underground city was dug by His Majesty. It can be said to be His Majesty's private property. If you go in, you will definitely hand over the spiritual stone to His Majesty."

With someone to start with, and this dungeon was built by the emperor, it seems appropriate to pay.

Gradually, people began to hand over spiritual stones one after another.

Tian Xiaobao chose a more appropriate time and handed over the spirit stone when there were relatively few people.

He neither wants to be the leader, nor does he want to be blocked from the door. He has no shortage of these sixty spirit stones, so there is no need to worry.

The first thing I saw was a dark tunnel, which led diagonally downward to the ground, with no end in sight, and it was completely dark.

Even if the walls around the tunnel are inlaid with night crystals, it is difficult to see clearly.

The most shocking thing is that this hundred-foot-long tunnel is filled with monks on both sides.

They are the guards of the dynasty. They used to protect the capital, but now they protect the underground city.

Once a monster or evil cultivator invades here, they will be the first guards to rush forward.

We walked this road for a while.

Suddenly there was a light in front and noisy voices were heard.

Sitting on the black wildebeest carriage, many people, like Tian Xiaobao, stretched out their heads to look at the scene outside.

As the darkness disappeared, a huge underground cavity appeared in front of everyone!

What a huge cave this is. The spirit boats used in Shicheng's escape at that time were not as big as this, and even caught up with the size of the state and county spirit boats.

The monk driving the carriage quickly jumped out of the carriage. He turned his back to the crowd and spread his hands.

"Welcome fellow Taoists to the Underground City of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty! Start a new life!"

Tian Xiaobao looked at this old man who was a little bit speechless.

I asked: "Fellow Taoist, is this underground city that big?"

The man turned his head and glanced at Tian Xiaobao, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, young man, your vision is too narrow. This cave can only accommodate half of the people in the capital."

"Then..."

"We have built a total of twenty-two underground cities like this!"

"Hiss——"

When the boatman said this, everyone took a breath of air.

There are actually twenty-two underground cities this big!

Tian Xiaobao was also a little shocked, but after thinking about it, he understood that the emperor of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty did not want to give up this country. He wanted to move the entire country underground...

It only took two or three months to open up such a large underground city. How much manpower and material resources did it cost?

But this is the world of cultivation. The seemingly impossible tasks will be easily accomplished under the influence of great power.

Tian Xiaobao looked up and saw a huge spiritual lamp on the top of the huge cave, which was emitting light.

More than a dozen caves the size of football fields, under the illumination of this spiritual lamp, seem like daylight!

Tian Xiaobao thought to himself, if someone controlled this spiritual lamp, would it be possible to realize day and night in the cave?

Looking down, on the ground, there are countless monks showing off their magical powers and building buildings one after another.

Looking from a distance, you can already see pavilions, corridors and waterside pavilions.

At the edge of the cave are some monks dressed in ordinary clothes. They are building some ordinary houses, which seem to be their residences.

In the middle of the cave, a circle is drawn, which is a road that divides the entire space into two halves.

Inside the circle, the architectural style should be shops, and the outside is residential.

At this time, the boatman opened his mouth and said.

"If you have money, you can go to that gray house over there, do you see it? That's the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. After paying the land fee, you can choose a place to build a house.

If you don’t have money, you can live in the shanty towns over there.”

Looking along his finger, I saw in the corner of the cave, a large shantytown with simple sheds. There were many monks sitting in a crooked manner, looking depressed.

"In addition, this is Area A. You can also go to Area B, Area C, Area D, etc. It's the same as here.

A, B, B, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

The closer to the inside, the price of land is relatively higher. Because the further down, the closer to the royal family, Hai District is the seat of the Zhou royal family."

The heavenly stems plus the earthly branches form these twenty-two underground cities.

Through the explanation of the people in charge of the boat, Tian Xiaobao knew that these twenty-two cities were one under the other. The further down, the safer they were, getting further and further away from the ground, and at the same time getting closer to the royal family.

The price of buying land to live in is getting higher and higher.
