Chapter 4 Entering Chang'an City for the First Time
Shaolin Temple is located in the territory of the Tang Kingdom, and is close to the junction of Qin and Han.
There is a distance of about 12,000 miles from Yunmeng Mountain to Shaolin Temple, and it can be reached in two days with the foot strength of the wind-winged horse.
Zhang Yi thought that Jiang Yun was going out for the first time, so he only hurried during the day, and at night he rested in the towns he passed along the way.
At noon, the carriage entered the spruce forest of the Tianshan Mountains.
A tree species endemic to this area. In the depths of the majestic Tianshan Mountains, vigorous and upright, verdant in all seasons, climbing slopes and endlessly, like a green Great Wall built along the mountain. The wind blows the forest sea, the sound of pine waves, and the green waves rise and fall, and its momentum is like a tide.
The east side of the Tianshan Yunshan Forest is connected with the Song Kingdom, the north side is close to the holy capital city of Haojing, and the west side goes deep into the territory of the Tang Kingdom.
To the south is where the Tibetan and Khitan tribes of the barbarians are located, forming a natural barrier.
There is an official road connecting the Song and Tang kingdoms in the forest. Zhang Yi parked the carriage on the edge of the official road, and under a big tree with Jiang Yun and Yang Qingxun, eating the rice balls prepared by Zou Niang and some cold dishes.
It's early summer, and it's time for the sun to shine directly at noon. I don't think there is anything for Zhang Yi and Yang Qingxun, one of them is the fifth level of the distraction realm, and the other is the seventh level of the transformation realm.
But Jiang Yun was bitter, it was almost hot, so he leaned more into the shade of the tree, picked up the water bladder and poured it into the bowl and drank it all, only to feel a lot better.
Wiping the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, he suddenly saw a fiery red fox running out of the jungle on the opposite side of the official road. Finding that the fox was staring at the food box in front of him, Jiang Yun picked up a rice ball and shook it at it.
The moment the fox appeared, Zhang Yi noticed it.
It was a spirit fox of the demon clan, and he was still at the peak of his infancy and had not yet transformed into a shape, so he didn't make a sound, and looked at the little junior brother and let it do it.
The fox propped up one of its front paws, gently rubbed it on the weeds twice, and slowly walked to Jiang Yun's palm, sniffed the rice balls, felt good, and ate them.
Soon, Jiang Yun saw that the rice balls were eaten, so he poured a bowl of water from the water bladder and handed it to the fox's mouth.
The fox took two sips, then raised his head to look at Jiang Yun, glanced at Zhang Yi and Yang Qingxun again, turned around and quickly ran back to the edge of the jungle opposite.
Turned his head and looked at Jiang Yun for a long time, as if he wanted to remember his appearance.
Then he spread his limbs and ran deep into the jungle.
Seeing the fox disappear from view, Yang Qingxun pouted and said, "It's a pity, such a good fox, if it is roasted and eaten, it will definitely taste good." ”
It seems that the meal just now is a little light, and it is not quite to her liking.
Jiang Yun frowned when he heard this, he disagreed with his senior sister's words, and it was a little difficult to accept.
Yang Qingxun saw that his junior brother was disapproving, so he quipped: "I didn't expect our little junior brother to be an amorous seed, and he was fascinated by that little fox!" ”
"You are talking nonsense, how can I ......" Jiang Yun was a little angry.
Yang Qingxun found that his junior brother was anxious, but he laughed out loud.
Zhang Yi also stood up with a smile, walked in front of the wind-winged horses, and fed them some grass and water.
Soon, the carriage began to run on the official road again.
In the deepest part of the spruce forest in the Tianshan Mountains, an old man in red sat cross-legged on a thick branch, holding a fiery red fox in his arms.
The old man in red whispered softly to the fox in his arms: "Don't be so greedy in the future, not everyone is so kind to my demon clan." ”
The fox in his arms whined twice, as if to say that he knew and would not do it again.
"You're about to transform, we have to rush back to Qingqiu as soon as possible......" The old man in red touched the hair on the fox's forehead dotingly.
The carriage traveled for nearly two hours, and as the sun began to set in the west, a majestic city appeared in front of it.
Chang'an City has arrived.
Chang'an City is composed of Waiguo City, Imperial City and Palace City, Forbidden Garden, and Fang City.
Twelve city gates were opened in Waiguo City, and Zhang Yi drove the carriage to the Mingde Gate in the middle of the south, preparing to enter the city.
Fang Wei was on duty for the first time today, guarding the city gate.
I had just finished inspecting a batch of caravansera's road guides and document discs, and let them pass.
When he saw a majestic carriage coming towards him, he was about to wave for the other party to stop so that he could do an inspection.
The brother-in-law suddenly dragged himself behind him from the side, and his comrades separated all those who were about to enter the city, making way for a passage, and then marched together to watch the carriage pass slowly into the city.
Li Anyan saw that the carriage was far away, turned to Fang Wei and scolded: "Your sister asked me to give you a good errand to guard the door at this Mingde Gate, but just now you almost stabbed Lou Zi for me, do you know?" ”
Fang Wei shook his head in a sneer.
Li Anyan pulled him to the side of the city wall and sighed: "Alas, you have forgotten what I told you yesterday? What has just passed is the carriage of the Xuanwei Fairy, which is not allowed to be viewed, and when you see it, all the men in the military must be sent with courtesy. ”
Only then did Fang Wei remember that his brother-in-law had said it to himself yesterday, but he didn't remember too much of what he said. This is the first time I am on duty, and although I have carefully checked everyone who is going to enter the city, I still almost caused trouble for my brother-in-law.
Fang Wei looked at his brother-in-law with a guilty face and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry."
Li Anyan waved his hand, signaling him to go back and take up his duty. His wife is just this younger brother, and she can't bear to let him go to the battlefield. But the military system of the Tang State could not allow him to resist, so he had to transfer him to his side to guard the city gate, which might be much safer.
But Li Anyan knows very well in his heart that the current world is full of man-eating "beasts", and if you are not careful, you will be bitten. This feeling of being unable to help oneself is really painful and sad for depressed people.
Li Anyan's eyes that seemed to be unwilling looked deeply in the direction of Taiji Palace.
The carriage is on Suzaku Street, moving slowly.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage had been rolled up, and Jiang Yun leaned out half of his body and asked Zhang Yi, "Senior brother, what happened at the city gate just now?" ”
The sun had already set for the most part, and the pedestrians on the streets were in a hurry to get home.
Zhang Yi drove the car carefully to avoid bumping into others, and replied: "This, it will start from thirteen years ago, when Wuwei City was surrounded by 300,000 barbarian troops, among which there were ten powerhouses of the Divine Venerable Realm, and there was only one Shizun Divine Venerable Realm and 100,000 troops and five million low-cultivation residents in the city at that time, everyone thought that Shizun would abandon the city and flee alone. Shizun didn't, he was withstanding the pressure from the outside world at this critical juncture, forcibly inducing the Thunder Tribulation to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, killing all the 300,000 barbarians and the ten Divine Venerable Realm under Wuwei City, and at the same time protecting the five million residents of the city from being slaughtered. ”
When Zhang Yi said this, a proud look appeared on his face, he was also in the city at the time, and he saw that scene with his own eyes, and he was still excited when he thought about it.
"Because of that exploit, Shizun was named 'Xuanwei Fairy' by Zhou Tianzi, and his position is equal to that of the prince and the monarch of various countries. Cities and towns of various countries can enter and leave at will, and all people in the army below the realm of gods must salute when they see it. ”
Zhang Yi bent his fingers and knocked on the carriage lane under him: "And the carriage we are riding in is also a symbol of the master's identity." ”
