Chapter 302 The Land of Diamonds
Chapter 302 The Land of Diamonds
After a whole day of sightseeing, Du Yuan finally verified what he heard with his ears.
Mengjiao Port is in the shape of a diamond as a whole, with only one exit at the top of the crown. Going out from the city gate, the road is wide at first and then narrow.
Going straight along the road, there are fewer and fewer fields. After passing through a canyon, it is considered to be completely out of the scope of Mengjiao Port. The road gradually widens and forks appear.
In other words, Mengjiao Port is a beach sandwiched between two mountains, and the jungle at the foot of the two mountains is the two crowns of the entire diamond shape.
The cliffs of the two mountains extend all the way to the sea, forming two symmetrical capes.
Under the two capes, there are also large areas of hidden reefs and dangerous shoals, which are constantly expanding outwards, and the two sides are gradually approaching, but they do not overlap.
In the middle, a safe triangular sea area is formed, which is the bottom of the entire diamond shape.
This terrain is very strange, not like natural evolution at all, more like man-made.
This is indeed the case. Du Yuan found the answer in the conversations between the residents of Mengjiao Port after dinner.
This place was originally called the Southwest Cape, the most southwestern cape in the entire inland.
Although there are few spiritual veins here, it is not without them.
But it is located on the border of the southwest, so the Tiangangmen in the west and the Tianshamen in the south are arguing endlessly for dividing the territory.
It was hard to draw the dividing line, but the spiritual veins are intricate and covered the entire mountain. As long as you mine spiritual stones in the mountain, it will be easy to cross the boundary.
Gradually, the two great immortal sects changed from arguing to fighting, causing the mountain to be full of swords and swords all day long, and blood flowed like rivers.
One day, a sword cultivator surnamed Meng from Tianjianmen traveled here and saw monks under the two sects fighting non-stop day and night, and the life of ordinary people was also disturbed unspeakably.
Feeling pity in his heart, he split the mountain with his sword to show half of one side.
The two great immortal sects didn't pay much attention to this place at first, and they fought back and forth just for the sake of face.
Now that Tianjianmen came to intervene, they borrowed the donkey from the slope to sell Tianjianmen's face, and the matter was settled.
Those who were deeply persecuted by the struggle between the two sides established a port here in memory of this sword repairer and named it Mengjiao Port.
After thousands of years of construction, huge ravines have been filled, farmland has been cultivated, and houses have been built. However, the trenches cut out by swords can gather fish, and no one will fill them.
The sea fish gather more and more, attracting seabirds from all directions, building nests on the cliffs on both sides, occupying the surrounding sky, so that tourists from the sea can only land on the sea and sail into Cape Meng from the safe sea area at the bottom corner port.
As the population of Mengjiao Port increases and the income from taxation increases, the two immortal sects pay attention to this place again.
But this time, they did not solve it violently, but managed it together, operated the Fansu Hall together, and divided Mengjiao Port into left and right cities, allowing immortal cultivators to choose which city to live in, and one immortal gate only collects the tax of one city. Do not interfere with each other.
Zuoshi, where the Hanlan Guild Hall is located, belongs to the Tiansha Gate, so Du Yuan really wanted to die without restraint.
As for the trading market for mortals, it mainly sells fish products, and the nearest semicircle around the wharf is also what Pei Yun called a food street.
According to the third uncle, the monks who make a living here are mainly engaged in: going out to sea to hunt, domesticating birds and monsters, escorting darts and transporting other monks.
The Kong family used to be the most powerful bodyguard firm in Mengjiao Port.
The Hanlan Sect also opened the Hanlan Guild Hall next to it because of the care of Mr. Kong, who was at the peak of the False God. Many disciples of the sect worked in the Kong family's bodyguard firm.
But once, the Kong family escort company picked up a dart that should not have been picked up, not only lost the dart, but also the old man Kong died.
Since then, the Kong family has plummeted and fell apart.
Kong Wu, as the leader of the younger generation of the Kong family, originally set up a team to take risks with the suzerain, Pei Yun's father, Wang, and another member of the Hanlan sect.
After the accident happened to the Kong family, Kong Wu took up the great cause of revitalizing the family.
Although the members of the team and the members of the Kong family support him very much, they are still weak, and they don't want the Kong family to rise again and re-lead the rest of the Mengjiao Hong Kong bodyguard company.
A few years later, the Kong family died and dispersed, and Kong Wu was most worried about the death of Pei's father, the betrayal of Wang, and the desertion of the Han Lanzong.
So far, the Kong family escort company has survived in name only, only Kong Wu and Kong Nan are left, and the suzerain is also able to run the guild hall with peace of mind.
At that time, although the man from the Han Lanzong couldn't bear the hardship and left, Kong Wu was not angry with the suzerain and still maintained a good relationship with the Han Lanzong.
It is also planned to match another young genius of Han Lanzong with Kong Nan.
During the time when everyone was preparing for the wedding, the senior of the sect met a young lady from a big family who was going out to practice, and fell in love suddenly.
No matter how the suzerain objected, he would not listen, and finally rebelled against the sect and entered the family.
Because of this, Kong Nan suffered emotional injuries like the third uncle, and stayed in the Hundred Tribulations Period for a long time.
After this again and again, Kong Wu completely changed. He not only hated his close comrade-in-arms suzerain, but also hated all overseas people.
"No wonder Kong Wu is so strange!"
Du Yuan only wanted to understand Kong Wu's sudden change after listening to Uncle San's words.
"Let's not talk about that, I walked and chatted with you, my mouth faded out like a bird, and you still let me carry such a large pile of storage bags full of rocks, did you come up with any tricks?"
After the third uncle's property was handed over, he wanted to keep the wine, but was stared at by the suzerain, so he had to put it down.
Strolling with Du Yuan from morning to night, without a single drop of alcohol, the wine worm in his stomach has already turned the world upside down.
"Hahaha, who am I? Du Xiaolang, who is a clever planner, didn't call me for nothing. I guess the banquet is ready now. After we go back, we will drink and talk."
Hearing this, the third uncle was so excited that he didn't want to delay for a moment. He carried the big bag and dragged Du Yuan all the way to the guild hall.
When the sun was about to set, the two returned to the hall.
"Haha, come quickly, I'll wait for the two of you to open the table!"
The two had just stepped into the guild hall when Uncle Niu and the others just came out from the inner hall, probably sent by the suzerain to find them back.
Don't talk nonsense, the third uncle directly threw the big bag on his shoulder to Uncle Niu, rushed into the inner hall, picked up the wine jar and swallowed the cow to drink.
"Third uncle, you treat this bag of things like this, don't regret it later."
Du Yuan also walked in, mocking the third uncle pointedly.
"Fart, don't think I don't know. You kid put all the waste rocks that the fishermen don't want into storage bags. I don't want this kind of thing, even if it can produce good things."
After everyone contributed all their belongings, the storage bag was empty.
When Du Yuan asked for all their empty bags, the third uncle still wondered what he was doing?
After arriving at the pier, I finally knew.
What drifted to Mengjiao Port with the ocean current were not only fish schools, but also various stones, and Du Yuan loaded those stones.
The mining of Lingshi Mine will inevitably dig out a lot of waste rock.
For monks, gambling consumes the most luck, and no one will gamble and open waste stones until the end of the road.
So no matter what grade of waste rocks mined from the Lingshi mine, they are all useless.
When dealing with waste rocks, cities far away from the sea will bury waste rocks in abandoned spirit stone veins, while cities near the sea will fill the sea nearby.
With the passage of time, a large amount of waste rock was eroded and loosened by sea water, drifted with the current, and was brought to Mengjiao Port.
Fishermen cast their nets to catch fish, and they always pick up a lot of waste rocks.
They knew that once the waste rock filled the trench, the fish's congregation effect would diminish.
Of course, the waste rocks will not be thrown directly into the sea, but brought back to the pier, and people will be paid to transport the stones to the mountain for burial.
Du Yuan doesn't need money, but they are willing to help everyone transport the stones.
The fishermen brought in waste rocks one after another, directly filling up all of Du Yuan's storage tools.
"Xiao Du, I know you can turn waste stones into third-grade spirit stones, but this requires not only your vitality, but also a large amount of low-level spirit stones. It is definitely not a long-term solution."
Hearing that Du Yuan brought back so many waste rocks, the suzerain thought he was about to bleed again, so he hurried forward to stop him.
