Chapter 7: Red River City, the capital of the country

On the afternoon of the 11th day, Qin Shijie and his convoy had approached Honghe City, the capital of Pingtang State.

Fifty miles closer to the capital, the stone-paved road had become a huge and spacious pavement up to two hundred meters wide. But the convoy had to slow down because there were so many cars and pedestrians on the road.

On the road leading to the national capital, there is an endless stream of pedestrians and motorcades coming and going. Qin Shijie stretched his neck in the car, stared out the window with wide eyes, and let out bursts of exclamation from time to time. On both sides of the road, there are rows of tea shops and restaurants, and pedestrians on the road are shoulder to shoulder.

Qin Shijie turned his head to Qin Guangchang and said in surprise: "Grandpa Qin, this is the national capital, there are so many people!"

"Young man, this is not technically the capital of the country. This is just Suzaku Avenue on the outskirts of the national capital, just outside the south gate of the national capital. It is necessary to walk another fifty miles along Suzaku Avenue to reach the national capital. There was a hearty laugh from the side, and a middle-aged man with a rich appearance said.

Outside the window, a convoy of motorcades came and went. Suddenly, "Knock, knock!" came with a crash on the ground.

Qin Shijie turned his head to look out the window, only to see five huge giant beasts walking from the direction of the national capital! The giant beast was twenty meters high, its forelimbs were small and shrunk in front of its chest, its hind limbs were thick and strong, and it was vigorously kicked on the ground, making a loud noise, and there were two rows of backspurs like giant swords on its back that pierced into the sky, and the teeth that occasionally showed were like a row of extremely sharp swords! Such a giant beast was extremely fierce at first glance.

Qin Shijie saw this giant beast for the first time, and was about to say in surprise, when suddenly his pupils contracted, God, there is someone on the back of these giant beasts!

On the back of each giant beast sat a person, I saw that these people were all dressed as warriors, some were wearing heavy armor, some were carrying a bow, some were carrying broadswords, etc., all of them had sharp eyes and were full of evil.

Qin Shijie was really scared!

After these giant beasts walked over for a while, Qin Shijie came back to his senses, turned his head and asked Qin Guangchang, "Grandpa Qin, those giant beasts just now ......."

Qin Guangchang replied: "Those giant beasts are called saber-toothed dragons, and they are very powerful spirit beasts. Those on his back are at least martial monarch-level powerhouses. Looking at the direction they are going, it should be to the 60,000 mountains. ”

"Sabertooth Dragon ~Wujun~" Qin Shijie nodded silently, remembering these silently in his heart.

The destination of Qin Shijie's convoy was the south gate of Red River City. After an hour's run, Qin Shijie and the others also arrived at their destination and got out of the car.

When he got out of the car, Qin Shijie had not yet recovered from the huge south city gate he saw for the first time, the south city gate was as high as 200 zhang, the width of the city gate reached 50 zhang, and the city wall that stretched into the distance was as majestic as a sleeping dragon.

When Qin Shijie was dazed, he inadvertently looked up and saw a black spot in the sky, which was coming from the South City Gate at a high speed, and quickly swooped in the direction of the South City Gate. It turned out to be a person! A person who can fly! Qin Shijie couldn't help but open his mouth wide!

When the man swooped down, the crowd in front of the city gate also let out a burst of exclamations, and after the man disappeared at the city gate, the crowd quickly returned to calm, obviously, such a scene, the people of the capital are also accustomed to it.

When the man swooped down, Qin Guangchang also noticed it and explained to Qin Shijie: "That is an extremely powerful martial artist. Among the martial artists, only powerful martial artists of the martial arts sect and above can fly. That person is at least a martial sect-level powerhouse!"

"Martial Sect-level powerhouse!Martial artist who can fly!It's really enviable!" Qin Shijie exclaimed.

Qin Guangchang also exclaimed: "Yes, fly!"

"But, Grandpa Qin, why would such a strong man fly down and enter through the city gate. Wouldn't it be more convenient for him to fly in directly? Qin Shijie said suspiciously.

Qin Guangchang explained to Qin Shijie: "According to the rules of Red River City, no one is allowed to fly in the city. There are extremely powerful Emperor Realm martial artists in Red River City, and other martial artists come to Red River City, even if they are very strong, in order to show respect for the martial artists of the Emperor Realm, they will also abide by the rules of Red River City. ”

Qin Shijie nodded knowingly. In the past, Qin Shijie had privately asked Qin Guangchang about the level division of martial artists in cultivation, and knew that there was a Martial King Realm above the Martial King Realm, and there was a more powerful Martial Emperor Realm above the Martial King Realm. The Emperor Realm is already qualified to open up the territory and establish a country.

Qin Shijie and Qin Guangchang walked into the majestic Red River City with the flow of people. By this time, it was getting late, and the two of them had to find a place to stay first. Kailing can only go tomorrow.

After turning around, he stayed at a small inn in an alley, and a small inn like this in the middle of nowhere even cost ten gold coins per person a night! Qin Shijie had to sigh at the high prices in the national capital!

Red River City is huge, with a permanent population of more than 100 million. The urban area is divided into two parts, the southern and northern districts.

Nancheng District is mainly inhabited by commoners and ordinary merchants, and most of the commercial transactions of the whole city are in Nancheng District; Beicheng District is mainly a residential area of the elite class, with many scenic spots, and the martial arts academy is also all in Beicheng District, and at the same time, the imperial city of the entire Pingtang Kingdom is also in Beicheng District.

The dividing line between the north and south of the city is the famous Red River. The Red River is 500 zhang wide and runs through the city, dividing the entire city into two parts.

The river that runs through the city flows quietly, and every morning and evening, when the sun shines on the river, the river surface will appear shining bright red, and the flashing is extremely dreamy and beautiful, hence the name of Red River City.

As the imperial capital of Pingtang Kingdom, there are all kinds of forces in Red River City, all kinds of buying and selling transactions, as long as you have money, you can buy all kinds of things and services you think of in Red River City.

All kinds of martial artists need to get cultivation resources, elixirs, exercise cheats, spirit animals, weapons and other things, and even you can hire martial artists as bodyguards, killing, collecting medicines, refining weapons, etc.

Such a place with endless hiding, for a martial artist who needs massive resources to cultivate, this is a real treasure land. Of course, to get everything, you need to have money and strength.

After a night without words, Qin Shijie and Qin Guangchang woke up early. They stayed in the southern part of the city last night, and the place of enlightenment was in the north of the city.

They need to walk through the city from the southern city, cross the rainbow bridge over the Red River, and walk to the northern city. The Enlightenment Venue is on the edge of the Red River Square in Beicheng District. Qin Shijie and the others walked for nearly two hours and came to Honghe Square.

Initiation is performed every year around the beginning of spring and the beginning of autumn. When Qin Shijie and the others came, the time of enlightenment had already begun for two days. When they came to Red River Square, Red River Square was crowded with people at this time.

The population of Pingtang Country is about 2 billion, and the permanent population of Honghe City is also more than 100 million, so every time there is an enlightenment, the number of people is very, very large, and the duration of enlightenment usually lasts for more than half a month. There is a huge building on the edge of the Red River Square, and that building is the place of the Enlightenment - the Shengwu Hall.

If you need to open the spirit, you must first sign up and pay the fee on the side of the Holy Martial Arts Hall. Qin Guangchang accompanied Qin Shijie to get a card after handing over a thousand gold coins at the registration office. Then Qin Shijie took the card alone and went to the crowd in the square.

Holding this card, Qin Shijie couldn't help but look at it twice, the front of the card was a warrior holding a knife, looking up to the sky and roaring, and on the back was some of Qin Shijie's personal information.

This information is only convenient for the examiners to see, and if someone wants to counterfeit it, it is absolutely impossible. Because, when paying the fee to make the card, the examiner needs to drop a drop of blood on the spot, which is everyone's spiritual imprint, and it is absolutely impossible to counterfeit.

When Qin Shijie was looking at the card, a young man in front of him turned his head and asked, "Hi brother, hello." My name is Lei Hu. What do you call it, brother?"

Qin Shijie looked up and found that a young man who was half a head shorter than him and his eyes looked extremely clever. was asking at him. He also reacted and replied, "Hello, I'm Qin Shijie." ”

"Shijie!Good name!Hey, where did you come from?" said Lei Hu, looking at Qin Shijie's blue cloth clothes.

Qin Shijie said: "I am from Sanhe County, Wushan County. ”

"Wushan County. That's the southernmost county. It's far enough, and it took me a lot of time to get there! I'm a native of the imperial capital. Come close! Lei Hu said with a smile.

"Uh~" Qin Shijie couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this, it took him twelve days to arrive in a hurry, and he was also envious that people could arrive on the same day.

Lei Hu asked again: "Hey brother, I see that you have come all the way from Wushan County to the imperial capital Kailing, you must have a great grasp! If Kailing succeeds, have you thought about which academy to choose?"

"Uh~?Which college?, I didn't think about this. I don't know what colleges there are in the imperial capital. Qin Shijie couldn't help choking for a while when he heard this, and then said.

Lei Hu was also stunned when he heard Qin Shijie's words, looked at Qin Shijie's coarse cloth clothes, and reacted: "Oh, you are from Wushan County, no wonder you don't understand." Do you want me to reveal a little news to you, wow~ Brother price! I'll charge you 10 gold coins. Lei Hu pretended to be heroic.

Qin Shijie pouted and said, "I don't have any money!"

"Haha, look at you like that! I'm kidding you. I haven't seen this little amount of money yet. Lei Hu said, "Look at your eyes, today I will give you the Martial Arts Academy in the imperial capital for free." Otherwise, if you choose a garbage academy in the future, you won't be blind and come here from Wushan County, which is far away. ”

When Qin Shijie heard Lei Hu's words, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Hey, brother, tell me quickly, today it should be me Qin Shijie who owes you a favor! Tell me quickly! Tell me quickly!"
