Chapter 3094 Accident
Suddenly discovering the statue of little Lolita, Xuan Shaoyan was stunned. Why would Ning Cheng make a statue of Little Lolita?
The stone statues in the square have white marble as the base and human figures carved from jade-grade mutton-fat jade. The human-shaped stone statues are dressed in rich clothes and holding a small sapling in both hands.
That little sapling was also carved from pure spiritual jade.
The lines of the stone statue are so delicate that even the eyebrows are clearly visible. Someone put a blue silk cloak on the stone statue. From a distance, at first glance, one might think it was a living person standing on the stone.
Yan Xing's eyes froze, and he turned to look at the little Loli: "Little Loli, look at the stone statue in the center of the square!"
The four human beasts were thinking about what would be on the street on the other side of the square, silently calculating how long it would take to cross the square. They didn't pay attention to anything else at all. They heard the voice and headed towards the center of the square.
The four humanoid beasts who looked up looked shocked when they saw the stone statue. Oh my God, who carved the statue? It looks so much like a little fairy!
When entering the square, Leyun looked at the city office building. When she heard someone called Yan to look at the square, she turned her eyes and saw a statue in the center of the square at a glance.
The jade-carved figure is nine feet nine inches tall. Every detail of the person's facial expressions and clothing is carved with meticulous detail and is very vivid. Especially the eyes and the whole person's demeanor make people feel soft and warm.
The character's shape is highly realistic, and his expression is soft and warm. Le Yun sincerely praised: "The jade craftsman who carved this statue is a master of craftsmanship, and the craftsmanship is uncanny.
The painter who painted the portrait is also a national artist. The eyes of the people in the painting are the most vivid. The statue and portrait are not only 100% like the real person, but at least 90% similar in spirit. ”
painting? Young Master Xuan Shaoyan looked around and found the painting that little Loli had mentioned - there were two giant paintings on the left and right sides of the gate of the City Administration Building, which were also portraits.
The two young masters have good eyesight and saw the inscription on the giant painting - Picture of the Fairy Sacred Tree. There are also small words in the lower left corner - The new guardian of the Immortal Tree gave birth to an Immortal Tree in the secret space of the Star Gazing Pavilion in Jinzhuling, Zhuzhou. The monks witnessed the birth of the sacred tree, and all races in Yunlan celebrated together. The monks in Ningcheng fasted for a hundred days, and gathered hundreds of painters to draw portraits of the guardians of the sacred tree for the whole city to pay their respects. They wished the sacred tree long-lasting prosperity and the long-lasting guardians. Healthy.
The two young men looked at the stone statue again. The stone statue stood in the middle of the square, facing north and south. There were also words engraved on the base, recording the reason and purpose of building the statue.
The purpose of building statues and hanging portraits in Ningcheng is to let the whole city remember the face and merits of the guardian of the Everlasting Tree. The statue is erected in the square so that the people in the city can look up and worship.
There is a golden incense burner in front of the base of the stone statue, and the incense stems in the incense burner are piled up on two levels.
They entered the square from the west side facing the stone statue. It was almost late in the afternoon, and the square was very lively with people and cars coming and going.
Pedestrians passing by the square tidy up their appearance when entering the square, bow to the portrait from a distance, and then cross the square.
Perhaps because they were worried that the poultry would poop or urinate when passing by the square, owners of carriages and horses consciously took a detour and passed by the area near the southern edge of the square.
There is a statue of the guardian of the everlasting tree in the square. In theory, it will have a solemn feeling, but in fact the atmosphere in the square is very peaceful and relaxed.
The reason for erecting the statue was clearly stated on the statue and portrait. Yan Shaoxuan had no doubts and walked leisurely.
The four humanoid beasts were also clever little beasts, and no one made any noise.
Le Xiaololi is more calm. The rebirth of the sacred tree is of great significance to Yu Yunlan. As the news spreads, there will only be more and more statues of her.
Statues of her from all ethnic groups and places show respect for her as the guardian who brought the tree of immortality to Yunlan, and more importantly, respect and belief in the tree of immortality.
The three people and the four beasts did not want to act out of the ordinary and attract attention, so they followed suit and paid homage to the statue when they were closer to it, and then calmly crossed the square.
Follow the road connecting the square and enter the busy street.
After walking for a short distance, a question arose in Mr. Xuan's mind, and he sent a message to ask: "Little beauty, Ning Cheng has made a statue for you, can you also get the power of faith?"
Good question! Le Yun couldn't help but applaud Young Master Xuan, and answered frankly: "Theoretically speaking, if the people are sincere, the object of support and love can get the corresponding power of faith.
With the power of the people's faith, I can walk in Yunlan like a diamond and be immune to all evil. It's hard to say if I leave Yunlan. ”
"Bull!" Xuan Shaoyang was filled with admiration. The power of faith is so amazing!
The purpose of shopping was to shop for goods. Mr. Xuan did not discuss the role of the power of faith in detail, but focused on collecting items and shopping for goods along the street with his friends.
For the sake of efficiency, the three men and four beasts divided their forces into two groups, shopping along one side of the street and going to the other side, Xuan Shaoyan and Shao Shao all the way.
Calabash Baby naturally followed the little fairy, and Shui Dun Baiyin and Ying Sheng also abandoned their brother and followed the little fairy as usual.
The central area of Nancheng District in Zhongcheng is more prosperous and lively than the outer city.
The little lolita and the handsome guys went shopping during the day, and sorted out the day's goods at night. When they had free time, they sorted and sorted out the trophies they got from the Noisy family.
After staying in Nancheng District for more than a month, I moved to Dongcheng District.
While shopping for goods, my friends also took a stroll to Chengdulou Square in Dongcheng District, and saw that there were also statues and portraits of fairies holding trees in the square.
The three of them and the beasts and beasts visited the streets and alleys of Dongcheng District, emptied the inventory of various grain stores, silk shops, and other stores, and entered the inner city on the last day of the deadline.
The inner city is the oldest city street in Ningcheng. Most of the streets have not been changed since ancient times, so the streets are not as wide as the middle city and the outer city. The streets have not changed, but the shops along the streets have kept pace with the times. Many of the shops are small but exquisite and neat, and the goods in the inner city also emphasize quality and refinement.
There are many options for ID cards to enter the inner city, ranging from one month to one year. The maximum period is one year. If it exceeds one year, you need to go to the City Department Building to apply for it.
Yan Shaoxuan chose a waist card for a year, and the waist card is universal in the city anyway.
The group of three people and four humanoid beasts entered the Dongcheng District of the inner city from the Dongcheng District of the Central City, visited the East City, and then wandered from east to west.
After spending a few days wandering around the busiest area in the center of the city, I visited the county seat in Ningcheng.
Ningcheng is the seat of a county. The governor's office is located in the center of the city. The governor's mansion is shaped like a small palace and is majestic.
The county governor's mansion is divided into two areas, the front and rear. The front area is where official business is handled, as well as where county officials are on duty, the kitchen and warehouse are used, and where prisoners are imprisoned.
The back area is the residence of the family members of the Junjun, as well as the families of some important members of the Junjun's subordinates, and the families of the county officials.
There is a large square thousands of feet wide in front of the governor's house, which can hold large-scale sacrifices and can also be used as a military training ground.
There is also a statue of a fairy holding a tree in the center of the square. The difference is that the statue in the square in front of the governor's house is taller. The base is ninety-nine feet high and the figure is nineteen feet tall.
The base of the statue is carved into a pattern of auspicious clouds, which looks like an immortal flying in the clouds and mist.
On the left and right sides of the statue, there is a huge stone screen two feet high. The top of the screen is a five-ridged roof with five eaves. The screen is carved with exquisite patterns, and portraits of the guardians of the longevity tree are hung on the front and back.
There are two portraits: one is a fairy in gorgeous clothes holding a tree, and the other is a standing portrait of a fairy wearing a blue dress with her hair in a high ponytail.
The person in the picture of a fairy holding a tree is holy and noble, making people feel awe-inspiring and dare not offend, while the other image of a fairy wearing ordinary clothes appears to be gentle and kind, making people feel friendly after seeing it.
The incense burner in front of the statue in the center of the square has five layers of incense stems, and dozens of incense sticks are inserted in the top layer. White smoke rises into the sky, curling up like silk and mist.
There were two rows of fully armored soldiers standing in front of the Sheriff's Mansion. There were vehicles and horses forming a formation in the square, and there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the Sheriff's Mansion.
Young Master Xuan and the four humanoid beasts were in high spirits, watching the passers-by and listening to some gossip while walking.
Le Yun calmly acted like a passerby, A, B, B, and D.
People who come in and out of the county governor's house are all here for official business, and many of them are city lords, county magistrates, assembly magistrates and other officials of the cities under the county's governance.
Some were heads of merchant houses or aristocratic families doing business in the empire, and came to the governor's house in exchange for identity documents.
Practitioners have fewer constraints, while the secular world has many rules. Each empire has its own laws governing the country, and many rules and regulations are set up to restrict people from all walks of life.
Similarly, traders must obtain permission from the empire. To open a shop in the city, they only need the land deed of the city. However, if they are transporting goods to and from different cities/counties, a trade certificate is required.
Some certificates also limit the scope of business. For example, businessmen who deal in rice grains are not allowed to be involved in mining, and businessmen who are engaged in mining are not allowed to engage in other businesses at the same time, etc.
Most empires have express regulations that some resources such as minerals and rice grains can only be circulated within the empire. If they are traded with other countries, the transactions involving rice grains, ores, etc. are presided over by the Yamen.
Moreover, only county-level officials have the right to decide on transaction rights, and officials such as prefecture, county, and town have no right to make decisions.
Merchants who do business within the city need to go through very few procedures, while merchants who operate in any geographical area need multiple vouchers. Otherwise, no matter where they go to trade, they will be found to have hoarded certain goods without vouchers. Some items will be confiscated by the authorities and you will lose all your money.
Many business certificates need to be reviewed by the county governor. The county governor is in charge of all the general affairs of the county, so the county governor's office will naturally not be idle.
Now is the beginning of autumn, not far from the autumn harvest, and the county governor's mansion is even busier.
Whether Ningcheng County Sheriff is busy or not has nothing to do with Young Master Yan and others. They stroll leisurely in the square and listen to the gossip, which is very pleasant.
However, the good times did not last long, and this comfort was soon interrupted.
When three people and four humanoid beasts strolled through one-third of the square, two muffled "bang bang" sounds came from the backyard of the county house, followed by a loud "bang" sound.
The ground in the square also trembled slightly.
The loud noise was accompanied by the sound of buildings collapsing, as well as shouts, curses, and cries and screams.
Amidst the chaotic sounds, smoke rose from a corner behind the governor's mansion, and a figure rushed up into the air, several of whom were fighting.
The chaos was mixed with extremely angry and angry curses: "Bitch, I can't spare you from this princess!"
