Chapter 13 What a big Luoyang city

A gentle spring rain fell without warning. The earth, which has been trapped by the heavy snow for too long, is watered by the rain and dew, and there are young shoots blooming with spring green. There are fields, villages, and castles that always appear in very timely places.

Dongluo pushed Xue Nianci to stroll forward along the ridges of the field, the cauliflower in the field beside him was in full bloom, the butterflies were slowly flapping their wings in the spring breeze, the annoying bees were buzzing around, and Dongluo's eyes were greedily sweeping over the farmland and countryside scenery beside him, these are all scenery that has never been seen in Weicheng in the autumn wind of the iron horse.

Having lived in Weicheng since he was a child, he was surrounded by sinister horse thieves, boring grasslands and everywhere dangers, and such a quiet and indifferent pastoral scenery under these magnificent scenery is particularly precious.

Everything is fresh, cats and butterflies chase each other, and plants and trees are wanton. Compared with the tense and fierce battle situation in Biansai, the atmosphere here is obviously much more relaxed and casual.

I haven't seen Luoyang City yet, but the prosperity and romance of Luoyang City have already radiated to the surrounding counties like a dazzling sun. A kind of freehand and self-confidence hidden in the bones and souls of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all infecting this group of strangers in Dongluo.

Before he saw Luoyang, he felt that the name Luoyang was very beautiful, with a kind of iron blood that has been manifested in life and death, and there is also a kind of vicissitudes that have been soaked in time. It's the same as the name Winterfall. Beauty is not like words.

When he pushed Xue Nianci along the stream by the ridge to the end, suddenly a huge shadow rushed over. He looked up in confusion, only to see a black city wall suddenly appear in front of him, this wall was so high that it seemed to have no end, covering half of the sky and the sun that had not yet set.

Looking to the left and not seeing the end of the city wall, looking to the right and not seeing the end of the city wall, this huge city outline can not see how many miles there is in the radius, Huanghuang stood silently between heaven and earth, Dongluo stared at the male city in front of him with wide eyes, and said inexplicably: "Is this Luoyang City?"

Dongluo thought to himself, no wonder this city is called Luoyang, and the sun has not yet set and has been blocked, which is equivalent to letting the sun set. That's why it's called Luoyang.

"Yes, this is Luoyang, the capital of Zhou. The capital of the Zhou Kingdom. The Zhou state's practice of cultivating fortune is the Book of Changes. It is also called "Zhou Yi". Xue Nianci also saw this majestic giant city for the first time, and she couldn't hide the shock in her heart.

"Zhou Yi?" Dongluo's pupils shrank, and then he asked uncertainly, "But did it by King Wen of Zhou?"

"Yes, it is indeed King Wen who plays gossip. But the content must only be known to the people of the Zhou royal family!" Xue Nianci shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Luoyang City has a total of eight gates, divided into eight districts such as Qiankun, four elephants, two yi, and one day palace. And the Heavenly Palace is where the imperial palace of the Zhou Empire is located. Although the Zhou Empire was only an imperial dynasty, it already had an imperial atmosphere, but it was unwilling to be promoted. I don't know what the border countries of the Zhou Dynasty thought. Zhou Guo is not something they can mess with. ”

"Great Zhou Heavenly Palace, but in the dry area?" Dongluo asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, it's in the dry area. ”

Dongluo nodded, sure enough, this "Book of Changes" should be the "Book of Changes" he knows. Even if there is a difference, it should not be as big as the Tao Te Ching. "Zhou Yi" is headed by Qian, which is the sky. It is natural that this Great Zhou Tiangong is located in the dry area.

Dongluo looked at the people coming and going on the official road in front of the gate of the giant city in the distance, and muttered: "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement." The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue......"

......

......

At this moment, the Great Zhou Heavenly Palace, in the upper study.

A middle-aged man wearing a bronzing dragon robe with a simple face like an uncle next door was reviewing the folds in his hand. Suddenly, the pen paused, and he looked up at the heavenly palace above his head.

His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the Ming Hall where the dragon was carved and the phoenix was carved, and he looked at an earthy yellow cloud overhead, and among the clouds at this moment, there was an earthy yellow dragon that was constantly rolling. caused a stirring in the earthy yellow sea of clouds, and the middle-aged man frowned and said, "Passing on the national teacher." ”

The eunuch immediately sent the decree down, and after a while, an old man with a gossip diagram and a golden dragon staff in his hand staggered over.

"National Teacher, the Golden Dragon of Luck is in turmoil, and the sea of clouds is rolling, what is going to happen? Is it auspicious or vicious?" asked the middle-aged man without raising his head.

The old man closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, the rolling of the sea of clouds of luck is that someone triggered the essence of "Zhou Yi" in Luoyang City, and was sensed by the sea of clouds of luck, so it caused the sea of clouds of luck to roll more than once. And the turbulence of the Luck Golden Dragon is that it senses a dragon qi, the true dragon qi. As for whether it is auspicious or vicious, it is difficult to predict. ”

The middle-aged man paused and asked lightly: "What is auspicious or vicious?"

"Because Your Majesty, the person you are waiting for is here. So the good luck is unpredictable. The old man saluted respectfully.

The middle-aged man got up and paced back and forth in the upper study, looking up at the sky from time to time, without saying a word, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Send out all the people from Qin Tianjian, you go too, you must find him." Bring it to me. ”

"Your Majesty, the hidden dragon is in the abyss. Not so easy to find. Ministers should do their best. It will be shared for His Majesty. The old man said with a sad face.

"The dragon is lurking in the abyss, and you can't find it. I just want to get you moving. When the people I am waiting for come, the world will be uneasy. The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "In the twenty years that I have been in retreat, how about Chen Baxian?"

After thinking for a moment, the old man seemed to have made a big decision, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Han King Chen Ba died first. ”

Silence, silence. With a sentence, the Han king Chen Ba died first. The sound of pacing disappeared instantly. The tumbling of the sea of clouds and the roar of the golden dragon of luck stopped for a moment.

An invisible wave of qi started from the study room of the Great Zhou Heavenly Palace, with Luoyang City as the center. It spread out in all directions quickly and fiercely.

The shouting and selling on the sixty-four long streets in Luoyang stopped, the people who were still arguing stopped splashing and saliva, and the bustling sounds stopped.

The spring rain falling in the sky, the swaying falling flowers on the branches, the breeze in the mountains, the dust raised by the breeze, the peach blossom red, pear blossom white, and cauliflower yellow under the dust all quietly stopped.

Invisible waves of air crossed towns, over villages, over grasslands, through mountains, across rivers, and through fields. It didn't stop until it reached the four poles of the Shenzhou Continent and hit the turbid waves that crashed on the shore.

At the same time, there were seven directions in the Shenzhou Continent that sent inquiring eyes to Luoyang at the same time, some from the mountains, rivers and green bamboos, some from the rivers, lakes and seas, some from the desk, and some from the battlefield......

"Chen Baxian, take advantage of this three breaths in the world, respect you. A murmur whispered, as if explaining to the seven eyes that were cast, and as if he was affectionately remembering the name in the dark.

The old man kneeling on the ground can move, the bustling people on the street can move, the wind in the mountains, the rain in the sky, and the falling flowers can move. But in this world, no one knows that all people have lost their three-breath time. Because those who knew were silent.

The middle-aged man continued to walk: "Sixty years ago, I personally calculated that the destiny of heaven is in Chen. I don't care about the grievances of the Chen and Yang clans. For Chen Baxian, he will protect Chen Guo for another year, and if Chen Guo no longer has the son of destiny to appear. Then let them fight! You personally go and beat the Chen and Yang clans, the Chen State is the Chen State of the Han King Chen Baxian, not their Chen clan, let alone their Yang clan. Tell them that the eight kings of the Great Zhou, only the king of Han cannot be moved. If the other seven kings dare to move, they will do whatever they want! Warning them not to think badly about Chen Guo within a year. Otherwise, there will be no place for the other two clans in heaven and on earth. Remember, it's heaven and earth. ”

The old man looked solemn and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Let the shadow guard continue to stir up the forces of the Quartet, attack the Great Zhou, and strive to involve every force on the border of the Great Zhou. ”

......

......

After entering the city, Dongluo separated from the Xue brothers and sisters. The two Xue brothers and sisters returned to the Snow Clan, and no one knew what would await them. Just as no one knows what awaits the winter fall?

The wealth and romance of the whole world seem to be concentrated in Luoyang City, the cries of selling one after another are enthusiastic and exciting, the aroma of meat and wine penetrates the streets and alleys and is rich and intoxicating, as far as the eye can see, iron and blood and gentleness complement each other, and all the magnificence is melted into a brick and tile.

Dongluo and the three beasts stared wide-eyed, and walked in the surging crowd with their hearts swaying. Smoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, city column pearls, household Ying Luoqi, three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus. Dongluo's stunned look of admiration is like a person who has never seen the big world.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, the street is full of traffic, the flow of people is like weaving, and behind them are the faces of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty who are either simple, or vicissitudes, or pure, or sophisticated. The winter falls as if you are in a colorful and rich picture, and you can't walk anymore.

Even if he couldn't walk anymore, Suo Xing walked slowly. From noon to the setting sun, the twilight afterglow faintly spread on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, and a few sparrows were napping on the ancient trees beside the road in a trance.

From the sunset to the beginning of the lanterns, Dongluo has long been accustomed to the life in the small town, Weicheng can no longer see any light except for the moon in the sky every night, except for the chirping of birds and beasts, he can no longer hear any sound, so when he enters Luoyang City, he thought that he would see a quiet city that will sleep, but he did not expect that Luoyang City at night is still ......

It's bustling everywhere.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. The bright lights on the street illuminate the smoke willow painting bridge all the way like a dream. Men and women wander in groups on the streets as bright as day. Avoid the crowds and hide in dimly lit corners, or stop by a stall to pick up a knick-knack.

Dongluo and the three beasts looked around happily, and as everyone nervously looked at the juggling on the street, they also clapped their hands and applauded together like everyone else. When the juggler asked for money, he quietly left.

There are elegant people wearing long robes and hanging rings around their waists reading some sour and rotten articles, and there are also shape-shifting demon beasts with bull heads and bodies wandering around with broadswords on their backs. There are even those who directly come out to wander in the body of a shrunken demon beast, all of which seems extremely unreasonable but extremely harmonious.

"Sure enough, it is Luoyang City, which gathers ninety percent of the freehand and romantic of the Great Zhou Kingdom!"
