Chapter 1227: Folding Willows and Chopping Wood from the Ruins
The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians, bows and arrows, are all at the waist. Ye Niang's wife went to see each other, and the dust did not see Xianyang Bridge.
(Tang) Du Fu "Soldier Chariot Dealer"
Silently moving west along the suburban road, it is like the Hongqiao Bridge in front of the convoy, which is the famous Xianyang Bridge.
In the second year of the founding of the Han Empire (139 BC), Emperor Liu Che chose Maoxiang, Huaili County, west of Xianyang, as his mausoleum. In order to facilitate the requisition of manpower, the imperial court then drove craftsmen to build a bridge on the Weishui, because it was called the Benmen Bridge outside the Benmen in the west of Chang'an City, and it was called the West Wei Bridge and Xianyang Bridge in the Tang Dynasty.
This bridge is located on the traffic artery from Chang'an to Bashu and the Western Regions, and soon became the last stop for Chang'an people to send off their journey to the west. The soldiers in Du Fu's poems are separated from their relatives here, and Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty bid farewell to his friends here, writing "persuade the gentleman to have a glass of wine, and there is no one to go out of Yangguan in the west", and the westbound merchants in the Han Dynasty also bid farewell to relatives and friends here, and officially embarked on the long Silk Road, which is also the case in the game.
Although the field scenes are randomly generated, the planner designed a set of strict rules for the PCG system of Silk Road, similar to the "Dungeons and Dragons City Owner's Handbook", each scene has multi-dimensional parameters to determine the probability of different elements, and strive to strike a balance between freshness and rationality.
Taking Chang'an as an example, this city is in the north of Nanshan and east of Weishui, and it is inevitable to encounter continuous mountains (Qinling) when going out of the city to the south, and going out of the city to the west will definitely be blocked by the big river. If it is a famous building such as Hangu Pass, Afang Palace, and Xianyang Bridge, it has a "sense of existence" similar to a famous city, and as long as you reach the designated location, you will definitely be able to see them.
Looking at the wooden bridge with a traditional charm in front of him, Atletico nodded with satisfaction.
If you count martial arts online games, there are actually a lot of games with ancient backgrounds, among which traditional pavilions and bridges are naturally indispensable. However, because of the relationship between the game style, the shape design of the building is often gorgeous and exaggerated, but it rarely considers the material, engineering technology, practicality and other issues.
The Benmen Bridge in front of you is restored by a professional team based on archaeological data, with a simple and atmospheric appearance and a very real look. With the singing of those NPCs folding willows and sending each other, it makes people vaguely see the life and emotions of the ancients two thousand years ago.
In ancient times, it was not easy to travel far away, and in order to pray for a safe journey, people often ceremoniously sacrificed to the road god when they set off. Later, this kind of sacrificial ceremony gradually became the practice of wine, farewell banquet, more people did this, Sanli Pavilion, Shilipu and the like are convenient for the appearance of inns, restaurants, restaurants and service industries, which is regarded as the ancient "send-off economy".
According to the west gate of Chang'an, in front of the bridgehead of the gate, there are also post stations and wine shops and private stalls built indiscriminately. If you have a VR scent simulator of bees, you can smell the faint smell of wine and tea. However, Atletico did not activate the device, so they could only hear the faint noise from the restaurant and the soft send-off song from the bridge.
"I am sad in my belly, and I am willing to be a horsewhip. In and out of the Lang arm, the knee of the Lang ......"
Hearing the singing, Atletico couldn't help but pout, but he heard that the words of this ancient ballad came from the "Yuefu Poetry Collection", which belonged to the "second song of folding willows".
This book was compiled by Guo Maoqian, a literati of the Northern Song Dynasty, and contains more than 5,000 poems, including the works of famous poets such as Cao Cao and Li Bai, as well as folk songs written into textbooks such as "Song of Eile", "Mulan Poem" and "Peacock Flying Southeast". There are five poems in "Folding Willow Songs", the author is unknown, but later generations speculate that the fourth song is "Looking at the Mengjin River from afar, the willows are gloomy." I am a captive family, and I don't understand Han children's songs" speculates that it should be a folk song of the Northern Dynasties during the Northern and Southern Dynasties at the end of the Jin Dynasty.
Obviously, the game development team should not be able to find the lyrics of the willow in the Han Dynasty, so they had to replace them with folk songs five hundred years later, and the effect is okay so far.
When they were about to enter the market, the convoy of the "Pegasus Purchasing Group" stopped, but was stopped by a group of middle-aged people dressed as scribes.
These people were the officialdom colleagues of the team leader officials, and because their rank was not enough to participate in the Majesty's Speech Ceremony held in Weiyang Palace, they had to ask for leave to go out and set up a banquet at the head of the Benmen Bridge to see off their colleagues. There is a precedent for Zhang Qian to be named a doctor in Taizhong by the emperor, as long as people can do this errand well, they will definitely be promoted and make a fortune when they come back, so they naturally have to bet on burning the cold stove in advance.
A few people were polite, and the team leader and his colleagues walked into the best restaurant in the market. The leader went to the banquet to eat and drink, and after they were busy, the horse leader played by Atletico was also not idle, and was supported by the head supervisor to run around, first to prepare beans for the horses, then to oil the axles, and then to sort out the goods to check the tether, and finally was called to climb trees and willows, play the flute to help the fun, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
These chores are actually the novice tasks arranged by the system for players, and by the time they are done, players will definitely have a preliminary understanding of the game's mounts, vehicles, cargo, climbing, musical instruments and other subsystems. After all, he was born in an online game, and arranging novice tasks in the game has become the instinctive reaction of the bee game designer, but fortunately, these tasks are embedded in the plot of the bridge send-off, which is not as blunt as the average online game.
When he was done with these, the singing voice in his ears also changed, and a rich male voice was singing Liu Che's "Tianma Song" in a low voice: "Taiyi Gong Xi Tianma is under the heavenly horse, stained with red sweat and ochre." Cheng Rong and Xi Wanli, now Anpi Xilong is a friend. ”
This poem was written by Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty for his "Tianma" sweat and blood horse, and was included in the "Historical Records-Music Book". In the game, the background of the poem's creation was modified, and Liu Che inscribed it on the "Heavenly Horse Map" depicted by Zhang Qian, and sent people to trace several copies and give them to the envoys, so that they could "follow the map", but it was also a reasonable imagination.
Speaking of which, Emperor Qin and Han Wu were all senior travel enthusiasts in ancient times: Ying Zheng was on the road for 11 years, and finally died on the way to patrol; Emperor Wu Liu Che frequently went out to Beijing to inspect 29 times after he was 30 years old. They went out for many purposes, but the most important thing was to seek immortals and visit the Tao. The first emperor stopped at the Jieshi on the coast of the East China Sea, and then sent the priests to take the boys and women to visit the immortals for him, but the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty boarded the boat several times and went to sea in person, and the heart of seeking immortals was obviously more determined.
At this time, Liu Che had just turned thirty years old, but he had already revealed his true face as a "cultivator lover", and the reason why he made the Akhal-Tejin horse a heavenly horse was that he took a fancy to the tall and handsome body of this horse, as well as the unique golden coat color, and thought that it belonged to the dragon species, which could effectively increase his success rate of seeking immortals.
Historically, the Han Empire acquired a large number of horses from Central Asia through trade and warfare. It is a pity that the ancient army and nobles liked to castrate stallions for the comfort of riding, and it is a pity that the bloodline of sweaty horses has not been handed down.
After a full meal, the convoy finally got back on the road.
However, as soon as they left the Chang'an territory, the convoy left the avenue and turned into the roadside post station, but they were preparing to rest in advance.
Although Guanzhong is a Gyeonggi area, the degree of development at this time is not very high, the density of villages and towns is far less than that of later generations, and the road facilities cannot be compared, and even the mountain temples that are common in film and television dramas in later generations are not much. At this time, people have to calculate the distance in advance and strictly enforce it, if they can't rush to the planned post house village store before dark, they can only sleep in the wilderness, not to mention the difficult conditions.
They went through two send-off ceremonies this time, and the time was already a lot delayed, so the team leader and the official simply let people live in the post house, preparing to rest for one night and wait until tomorrow before leaving.
After a routine hustle and bustle, Atletico were given a new task by the supervisor to go outside with others to chop wood.
At this time, people already knew how to use coal, but the transportation conditions were too poor for coal to be transported from the mining area on a large scale, and most of the time firewood was still needed. There was a large forest on the other side of the Wei River, but unfortunately it was the territory of Shanglin Yuan, and it was purely to kill the royal gardens by cutting down the royal garden, and then Atletico and they were sent to the ruins of Xianyang City, thirty miles to the northeast.
In fact, if you just want to get firewood to boil water for cooking, you can find a way to run back and forth on the nearby river ditch and miscellaneous trees. The reason why Atletico Madrid was arranged to run there was actually the result of the "Ruins Exploration" function being triggered. As long as there are ruins and places of interest around the campsite, the system will fake NPC hands to issue various guide tasks to players, so as to lead people there to enjoy the scenery and treasure hunting.
It takes two or three hours for ordinary people to walk 30 miles, but in the game, they don't really need to walk that long. It didn't take long for Atletico and his party to arrive at their destination.
Decades have passed, and the once thriving imperial capital has been re-embraced by nature, with wild trees and grass covering the ruins, and foxes and voles crawling through the broken walls.
Taking control of the character's ability to cut down miscellaneous trees and collect firewood, Atletico's thoughts gradually drifted, but he thought of the ruins on the other side.
At the beginning, because of the dislike of the small room of Xianyang Palace, the first emperor ordered people to build a new court palace in Shanglin Garden on the other side of the Wei River, that is, Afang Palace. However, just two years after the project began, he died in the field. After a bloody palace struggle, the youngest prince, Hu Hai, ascended the throne as emperor. Hu Hai was actually just an incompetent person specially selected by Li Si and Zhao Gao, and the Great Qin Empire fell apart after only three years of struggle and tossing under the struggle and toss of the monarch and the minister.
The construction time of Afang Palace was less than three years, and it was naturally not completed with the engineering conditions at that time. When Liu Bang sat in the world, in order to resume production as soon as possible, he returned all the gardens and ponds near Chang'an to private fields, so naturally he had no time to continue to build Afang Palace. Liu Bang's great-grandson Liu Che was keen on building a palace, and he squandered national strength to expand Shanglin Garden, but unfortunately there was too much time in between, and the foundation of the Afang Palace built in the Qin Dynasty was no longer available.
Therefore, the large palace group in the "Book of Han" that "starts from Xianyang and reaches Yongyang in the west, leaves the palace for 300, bells and drums and curtains, and does not move" actually only exists in the imagination of Ban Gu and others. Misled by them, Du Muquan, a Tang man, wrote down "covering more than 300 miles and isolating the day...... Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are pecked high", and the "black cauldron" that burned Afang Palace was buckled on the head of Xiang Yu of the Chu people.
In fact, what was really set on fire by Xiang Yu was actually Xianyang, the capital of Qin, opposite Afang Palace.
"Misled" by Du Mu, later archaeologists once looked for traces of fire at the site of Afang Palace, but only found evidence of unfinished projects. However, there are many traces of fire destruction found in the ruins of Qin Xianyang City on the other side, but it is confirmed from the side that "Xiang Yu led troops to the west to slaughter Xianyang and burned the Qin palace room" in the "Historical Records-Xiang Yu Benji", but it is not known whether "the fire will not be extinguished in March, and the women who will receive their goods and treasures will go east".
"Ahh
Suddenly, there was a scream from someone else in the speaker, and Atletico Madrid woke up from his distraction, and hurriedly dialed the joystick to control the character to turn in the direction from which the sound came.
When generating a ruin scene, the system automatically fills it with a large number of plants and animals, among which there are naturally some more dangerous ones. It seems that the movement of chopping wood alarmed a wild wolf, who somehow did not run away, but instead took advantage of the fact that someone was unprepared and bit a "colleague".
Seeing that it was just a lone wolf, everyone around him was sure in their hearts, and they were not afraid, Atletico Madrid, a player, naturally couldn't be intimidated, and he also dialed the joystick and went around the back of the wolf.
At this time, the wolf finally realized that the situation was not good, and turned his head to escape. However, this is not an empty grassland, and the surrounding ruins and gaps have been blocked by people with weapons, and there is no way out for it to go around, but it can only break out into a fierce fight with trapped beasts, just towards "Atletico Madrid".
With only a rough iron knife in his hand and no armor on his body, the offensive and defensive stats are very impressive, and the best thing to do in this situation is to retreat and wait for other people's support. However, on the other side of the TV, the person who controls this character is a veteran who plays Atletico Madrid, so he doesn't need to be so troublesome, his eyes are glued to the prompt on the screen, and he suddenly presses the button and swings the knife when the wolf's kiss is about to arrive.
The wood knife slashed at the wolf's face, roughly smacking its head to the side, and Atletico controlled the figure to take a step back, and at the same time quickly pressed the button to cut out a second knife, but it was right in the wolf's waist.
This animal is known as the "copper-headed, iron-bone tofu waist", and as long as it causes enough damage to the vertebrae, it can quickly paralyze them and no longer pose a threat. Obviously, the heavy wood knife in Atletico's hand acted like a whistle stick, and there was a crisp "click" sound from the opposite side, and then the wild wolf that landed on the ground never got up again.
By the time the others arrived, Atletico had already taken the life of the beast and got the "first blood".
In the face of the praise of the NPCs, he didn't have much smile on his face, but opened the notepad in his mind with a slight frown. This wolf was overturned by him with two stabs because the popularity rate was much slower than normal, leaving a big flaw. Although he knew that this might be a unique setting for a novice's first battle, he still hoped that it would be reasonable, such as modifying the age and physical condition of the wild wolf, and making it an old and weak disease. 2k reading web
