Sword Palace.

This was originally the name of the Du clan science.

The history is still on the Tang Empire, and the Du family has not yet been founded, and before it became a wealthy family in Guanzhong, it was just an ordinary family in Meixian County, and the Sword Palace existed.

To be precise, the Sword Palace is the foundation of the Du family.

Legend has it that the Du family is not from Guanzhong, but from Baye City, which is located in the west of Tianshan, in the west of the Western Regions, tens of thousands of miles away from Chang'an. A long time ago, during the war in the Western Regions, a heretic came wielding a scimitar, and the Du family was forced to leave Bayeux City and head east, wanting to return to the legendary hometown, the hometown that haunted the soul.

Yes, the Du family has always been Han Chinese.

At that time, the Han Empire was in full swing, and its sphere of influence spread throughout East Asia, which was no worse than the Tang Empire during the reign of Taizong.

At the beginning, the Han army fought with the Roman Empire army west of the Tianshan Mountains, and a year later, the two sides withdrew their troops due to logistical relations and returned separately, very tacitly taking the desert next door to the west of the Tianshan Mountains as the boundary between the two countries. At that time, the ancestor of the Du family was a member of the Han army, and was seriously wounded in a battle and captured by the army of the Roman Empire.

He was a warrior and proficient in the art of blacksmithing, and in the Roman Empire, the true qi was called Douqi, and once he had Douqi, he could be called a knight, and he could see that His Majesty the Emperor did not worship.

The Roman Empire consisted of many city-states, which sometimes broke out into wars with each other.

If a knight is injured and captured, there is an unwritten rule, that is, you can't kill at will, and you must treat it carefully after being injured and captured, and after the battle, the enemy will exchange money for these knights. Therefore, after the ancestor was captured, he was healed and saved his life. However, the Han army did not have a tradition of exchanging samurai, and during the last battle, a hurricane came from outside the sky and scattered the entire battle array.

After that battle, the Han army retreated and returned to the east of the Tianshan Mountains.

The Roman army was only the advance party of the expeditionary force, and they marched eastward, conquering Asia Minor, and digging through the green mountains before entering the Far East, and all the logistics and supplies along the way were all blackmailed by the local tribes. Blown by this strong wind, they lost their troops and were unable to advance eastward, and the Han army they encountered was only the border army of the Anxi Protectorate, not the main Han forbidden army.

After learning from the captives that the main forbidden army of the Han Dynasty had hundreds of thousands, among them, a large number of low-level officers were warriors who had cultivated the true qi of the inner family, and Rao was the city lord of the Roman Empire who was as proud and complacent as a bull.

It's just an ant scratching an elephant's leg, and it has no effect.

Unless the entire Roman Empire poured out, and all the city lords brought their own knights and formed an army of millions, they would have the slightest chance to compete with the Han Empire, and as for conquering that huge empire, it was just a fool's dream. Although these city lords had ambitions and desires, they were not fools, and they no longer marched eastward, but led the remnants of the defeated army all the way west to their hometowns.

The ancestors of the Du family, along with other Han captives, were carried westward, over the endless green mountains, and came to a prairie with a lake as wide as the ocean, called Bayeux Lake, where Bayeux City is located. The ancestors of the Du family and those Han captives were also left in Bayeux City and became slaves of the lord of Baye City.

Compared with other slaves, the treatment of the ancestors of the Du family is very good.

This is not only because he is a samurai, but also because he has a first-hand forging technique, a forging technique that is completely different from that of the West, and in addition to being able to burn porcelain, in the West, the porcelain of the Han Empire is a precious vessel like gold, which only appears when the lords of those big cities and the court hold banquets.

In normal times, most people can only use pottery.

At that time, they used the name of the porcelain empire to refer to the Han Dynasty.

Bayeux City is located in a continuous mountain range, the mountain range is next to the Bayeux Lake, in autumn, the mountain maple leaves are red all over, it is very good-looking, there is a special red clay on this mountain range, use this red clay as a raw material to burn porcelain, porcelain will present a peculiar carmine red, very beautiful, very peculiar, this kind of porcelain in the boutique, thin as paper.

This is the most popular kaolin red in the West now, from Bayeux City.

However, this kaolin red porcelain has been lost.

The fall of the Roman Empire originated from a fire in the court, for the throne, several princes attacked each other, and in the process of the palace change, the court was burned down, and some princes died in the fire.

The other princes replied to their fiefdoms, contacted the city-states belonging to their own camp, and formed several power groups, and so on, attacking each other, fighting each other, and finally, the empire collapsed, and several new states were formed in the western land. Even now, there is still no unified empire in that land, but dozens of different countries, large and small.

Of course, they could not afford to go east.

As a result, some tribes in the Middle East that they once occupied were able to rise up and merge with the Star and Moon Religion, and many countries were built, and they expelled the Westerners who believed in the Cross religion from their lands. Humanity is so ugly that there is no foreign enemy, and because of the relationship of interests, these newly established states have waged jihad in the name of different sects.

The so-called holy war is cannibalism.

After decades of conflict, some failed Xingyue cultists also rode horses and set off to the east with scimitars, and the war burned to the shore of Lake Bayeux, and Bayeux City, a city-state ruled by Westerners, was also destroyed in the war, in order to avoid the war, the Du family marched to the east.

At that time, the ancestors of the Du family had been dead for many years, leaving behind a large family.

He married a local man in Baye City, a white singer, and the singer gave him several children, although he had taught the skills of firing kaolin red porcelain to the lord of Beiye City, however, even if he understood the technique, the only one who could burn kaolin red products was the Du family, and others could never make it, even if they had observed the Du family porcelain countless times.

Obviously, it is the same material, the same process, and the porcelain fired is different.

What those white people don't know is that porcelain burning also needs to use true qi to drive the flame, and this true qi is the secret of the Du family, and the secret technique of passing on children and daughters.

Having said that, the Du family is actually a mixed-race family.

Even now, there are attribution phenomena in the Du family, such as Du Rui, the bridge of his nose is very high, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his eyebrows and eyes are very close to each other, which are some characteristics of the Western race, Du Rui is nothing, it is said that among his half-brothers, some have high noses and deep eyes, curly hair, and pupils are not even brown, but faintly green like a cat's eye.

The ancestor of the Du family died on the way to migrate, and the whole family lost half of it before they saw the Tianshan Mountain Range, and lost another half before they entered the Yumen Pass and returned to the pass after a long journey.

Without the special red clay on the shores of Lake Bayeux, it is naturally impossible to fire kaolin red porcelain.

The Du family has also become an ordinary family, in the last days of the dynasty, several times almost destroyed, broken the inheritance, until hundreds of years ago, a child of the Du family entered Zhongnan Mountain to collect medicine, fell into a deep valley, and slipped into a dungeon.

This is the Sword Palace.

A broken sword was stuck in the small dirt slope in the valley, and a golden dragon hovered above the broken sword.

Of course, the golden dragon is not a real golden dragon, the golden dragon is just an illusion produced by the kid of the Du family, on the broken sword, there are golden symbols floating, that is a complete scripture, it is the Ichthyosaurus Mind Changing Method.

The Du family boy is illiterate.

Naturally, he didn't recognize those golden runes, those runes were similar to the ancient tadpole texts, if there was a well-educated Confucian here, he would carefully identify them, a little bit of exquisiteness, what is the meaning of this word, and what is the explanation of that word...... If you do, you are going astray. The Du family kid is illiterate, so naturally he can't recognize those symbols, and more importantly, his spiritual power is relatively pure and strong.

So, when he saw the scriptures, he had hallucinations.

In his line of sight, it was a golden dragon hovering above the broken sword, and in a trance, the golden dragon rose into the air, turned into a golden light, and threw it into his eyebrows, and from then on, there was an extra golden dragon in the sea of his knowledge.

This is the original method of changing the mind of the fish and dragon.

The Ichthyosaurus Mind Changing Method practiced by the later generations of the Du family is just that after this ancestor of the Du family became a great master, he carved down those scriptures in the sea of knowledge with spiritual power and converted them into words that everyone is familiar with, so that future generations can cultivate.

In fact, this is no longer a real fish and dragon change.

You must know that according to the legend, the Du family broke the void on the highest peak of Zhongnan Mountain and flew away, after him, hundreds of years have passed, and there is no similar legend.

In that Sword Palace, there are other treasures.

It's just that after obtaining the Ichthyosaurus Transformation, the dungeon began to collapse, and the Du family only had time to pull out the broken sword and left in a hurry.

The broken sword was also inserted in front of the ancestral shrine of the Du family, where was the Sword Palace.

After the children of the Du family are born, once they reach the age of cultivation, they will also enter the Sword Palace to practice.

Later, the Du family established the Tang Empire, and Taizu built a school on the side of the Daming Palace for the first time, and erected a large archway in front of the school, which is the Sword Palace.

In the ancestral shrine of Meixian County, the sword palace still exists.

In the imperial city of Chang'an City, there is also a sword palace.

This is the school for the princes under the age of eighteen, and some of the children of the gate lords who are also under the age of eighteen and the children of the princes and royal families also practice in it. Fighting openly and secretly with each other is regarded as an internship in a power struggle, and under normal circumstances, the prince who falls behind in the Sword Palace basically loses the opportunity to ascend to the great treasure.

The emperor ordered Du Rui to enter the Sword Palace to practice.

In other words, Du Rui has officially entered the bloody power struggle, and there is no room for retreat.
