Text Chapter 4 Yunzhou City
The universe is vast and ethereal.
The continent where the Great Sage Heavenly Empire is located is called the Yuanling Continent, which is located in the depths of the universe. The environment around the Yuanling Continent is very similar to a place called the Milky Way, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the sun and moon are black and white.
The Yuanling Continent has existed for tens of billions of years, from low-level creatures to high-level creatures, to today's cultivating human beings, for tens of billions of years, the continent has never stopped changing dynasties. The current Great Sage Heavenly Empire is the supreme rule of the continent. In the 3,300th year of the Apocalypse, the former Great Yuan Dynasty was destroyed due to the war, and the Great Sage Heavenly Dynasty was established by the first clan of the side royal family at that time, and the year name was changed to the beginning of the day, as in the first 1,100 years today. Within the territory of the Great Sage Heavenly Empire, the imperial court ruled according to law.
In addition to the Great Sage Celestial Empire, there are also many tribal clans that are not ruled by the Celestial Empire, these places are self-sufficient and self-ruled, some of them are peaceful and long-lasting, and some are constantly harassing the Celestial Empire, and they are bound to fight for land and occupy the city-state.
On the mainland, warriors are respected. Cultivating martial arts has become everyone's dream, but the cultivation of martial arts requires the body of martial arts, the endowment of cultivation, and the people who meet the two are not one in a hundred, and the way of cultivation is just an illusion for most people.
In the Yuanling Continent, there are hundreds of schools of Xuanmen, and entering the Xuanmen is the yearning of all martial artists, and Chen Changxiao is not an exaggeration, this trip is to join the Xuanmen and practice martial arts.
A month later, Chen Changxiao successfully traveled from the Bishan Mountains to the land of central and southern China.
Chen Changxiao led the horse to stand outside the huge city gate, uncovered the hat, and raised his eyes to see the three big characters "Yun (yun) Zhou City" written on the city gate.
"Yunzhou City, good name, atmosphere!"
Chen Changxiao pulled the horse rope and was about to enter, but was stopped by the guards at the city gate.
"Where did the kid come from, outsider?"
Chen Changxiao was stunned for a moment and responded.
"Two taels of silver coins for entering the city!"
Chen Changxiao was stunned again, he still had to give money when he entered the city?
There was no way, so he took out the money from his pocket and gave it to the two guards. When I was in Nanbi Town, there was a place where I made a living by farming, and there was no place to use money, although I didn't rob money by robbing over the years, sometimes those businessmen were afraid of losing their lives and forced them to give money, and Chen Changxiao had no choice but to accept it, after all, robbing and refusing to collect money didn't seem like robbing.
After giving the money, the guards handed him an iron plaque engraved with the words "Yunzhou City".
"It's okay to take him with you in and out later. ”
Chen Changxiao took it and smiled lightly, it turned out that he still had to buy an entry and exit permit.
In the Great Sage Heavenly Empire, coins are unified into three kinds of gold, silver and copper, ten taels of copper is equal to one tael of silver, ten taels of silver is equal to one tael of gold, and one hundred copper plates are equal to one tael of copper coins. One or two gold, silver, and copper coins are solid round coins of the same size, while a copper coin is a hollow round copper sheet that can be threaded with an iron ring.
Chen Changxiao casually put the iron plate into his pocket, swaggered into the city, and only walked into the city from the official road of the city for about two quarters of an hour.
The bustling city streets, all kinds of groceries and commodities are available, at a glance, the city is staggered with small roads, the buildings are gorgeous and tall, all kinds of clothes and pedestrians are in a hurry, the men are all dressed in noble robes, and the women are all equipped with gold and silver jewelry, so magnificent.
Yunzhou City is the largest city in the south-central Yunzhou region of the Celestial Empire, the central city, with a total population of nearly 10 million, only the edge of the city, it shows such a luxurious appearance, it is really prosperous. Chen Changxiao marched all the way for a month, passing through many cities in Yunzhou, but this Yunzhou City was the only one that surprised him, and it was also the only city that was willing to enter only after receiving money.
"The people on the border of the Celestial Empire are working hard, all the way here, the border of Yunzhou is desolate and bleak, even as a border city, there are most poor places, but this central city of Yunzhou, only the border area is so luxurious, no wonder there are border barbarians who rise up to resist!"
Chen Changxiao couldn't help but say that he could only be surprised by the political aspect.
Walking on such a bustling street, Chen Changxiao looked east and west, and occasionally a beautiful young woman passed by, and he also took a closer look with his spare eyes. After walking for half an hour, Chen Changxiao found an ordinary inn and asked for a room, settled the horses, and closed the door and entered the house.
The purpose of coming to this Yunzhou City this time is not to have fun, after all, with Chen Changxiao's economic ability, he can't stay. Half a month ago, I heard in a restaurant that all the big and small Xuanmen in Yunzhou would go to Yunzhou City to recruit disciples in a month, and most of the young people in Yunzhou and those with aspirations from other places would gather in Yunzhou City to participate in the selection.
"Qingjun Sect, Nantian Sect, the two largest sects in Yunzhou, it is rumored that the masters of the two sects have reached the late stage of martial arts, and the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty attaches great importance to it, and personally selects the best cultivation places for the two sects to give. I don't know if a villager like me will be able to enter. “
Chen Changxiao stood at the window and looked out, from the time he arrived in Yunzhou, he was seen by those nobles in the city, and they all gave him disdainful eyes, Chen Changxiao didn't care, but he was more and more eager to become a strong man.
In those years in the Nanbi cottage, Chen Changxiao would take the sword to the open space in the back mountain to practice the sword whenever he was free, although the sword moves had been practiced like a stream, but he was still happy to do it, so he made a vow that he must go out to apprentice and practice after he reached the age of eighteen. Now I see that the opportunity is coming, and my heart is very comfortable.
Retracting his gaze, Chen Changxiao took off the bamboo flute, stared at it and said, "It's been a month, I don't know if Mu Qing is like this, will she be in danger?"
As soon as the words fell, he only heard the sound of dense horses' hooves coming from the street outside, Chen Changxiao poked his head out, and said that the big families in the city were swaggering on weekdays, and looking at this posture, it must be a certain family that had just returned from outside the city.
"Damn, hurry to reincarnate!"
Chen Changxiao looked at the galloping carriage in the distance, the horse's hooves were full of smoke and dust, but slowly it was full of horse steps, after all, in the neighborhood, the cultivation that a big family should have should still have. I didn't look too much, I was about to close the window, and my hand was touching the edge of the window, when I heard the pedestrians downstairs talking.
"That's the Jiang family, it is said that after half a month, dozens of sects of Xuanmen will come here to select disciples to get started. ”
"It's Le, isn't this the only daughter of the Jiang family rushing back from out of town. ”
"This Xuanmen centralized selection only comes once every two years, how many young people with lofty ideals dream of it, and naturally the children of the four major families in Yunzhou City also have to give it a try. ”
"I already have the huge resources of the family to cultivate, but I still have to compete with the children of the common people to enter the sect, this big family's children are really greedy. ”
Chen Changxiao listened to it from ear to ear, and said in his heart, it seems that he can only enter the worst sect.
The carriage came, just turned downstairs at the inn, the curtain of the carriage was pulled open from the inside by a slender jade hand, and a delicate and fair girl's face was presented, and when she raised her eyes, it was just opposite to a face in the window crack that was about to be closed upstairs, and in the blink of an eye, the window had been clicked shut.
