This tower is located in the east of Chang'an City.

The Demon Tower, also known as the Lock Demon Tower, the Demon Suppression Tower. However, the name of Demon Suppression has now been slowly forgotten. Because the Demon Sect monk has decided to return to the Tang Dynasty and become honest.

Demon subjugation and demon elimination, this word, there is only the word demon subjugation.

Xie Baoshu looked at this towering demon subjugation tower and prepared to go in and have a look. However, when the monk enters, he needs to pay the immortal jade. Ten orange immortal jades, Xie Baoshu felt a little dark, but he still went in.

In this demon subduing tower, layer after layer, not only in the sky, but also underground.

The prisoners are prisoners, the worst of the worst diseases in the human race, and they can no longer be human. And under the land, stretching for thousands of miles, it is the demons that are suppressed. Xie Baoshu walked in and found that the space in this tower was really big.

Back then, the boss of the Demon Sect, Yue Song, died in the Demon Suppression Tower.

Xie Baoshu followed Murong Ziying all the way into the tower, and on the walls around him, the origin of the Lock Demon Tower was written.

According to historical data, Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty believed in Buddhism, sued Shushan for the evil devil crooked way, once summoned countless monks, mages to build the lock demon tower on Shu Mountain;

At that time, many immortal cultivators in the mountains struggled to fight, Emperor Wu of Liang was defeated, and the pagoda he built was taken over by the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, and changed to the famous "Lock Demon Tower" as a purpose to imprison demons.

In the future, the imperial court rewarded Shushan for the merit of eliminating demons and defending the road, giving demon water, lowering the enchantment, and the demons in the tower could not escape, and the lock demon tower also became a symbol of Shushan's "divine power immortal".

Now guarding the demon tower, there are Shushan disciples. However, Shushan, the immortal gate of the sea of clouds, has now declined, and from time to time when it goes down the mountain, it will be regarded as a liar. Xie Baoshu hadn't met anyone from Shushan yet, so he was a little curious.

Because of Shushan, he used to be the spokesperson of the Sword Immortal.

Shushan is a cultivation sect that is connected with ancient mythology.

For example, in this demon tower, when the Yellow Emperor Chiyou fought, Shi Sheng led Xiangliu to attack the Zhoushan Divine Land. Although the war was won, there were many monster wrecks left on the divine land, which were repeatedly cured of uncleanness and resurrected over time.

So the Heavenly Court sent the heavenly generals to build a demon suppression tower on the divine land, imprison the monsters in the divine land, and use immortal magic to create an endless purgatory, so that the monsters will be tortured in the tower and reincarnate indefinitely, until the sins are washed away.

Unexpectedly, with the passage of time, some of the powerful monsters in the Demon Tower began to adapt to life in the tower, and established their own sphere of influence, as long as they took their heads, they could obtain a thousand years of cultivation. At present, the Demon Suppression Tower has changed from a cage imprisoning demons to a compulsory place for immortal cultivators to test and challenge.

Xie Baoshu doesn't know whether these histories are true or false, because many years have passed.

It is now the Tang Dynasty, and the former gods have disappeared.

Only those who practice are on the right path. The same is true of Shushan, the Yunhai Immortal Gate, which could once be called the same as the gods, now only has the status of a gatekeeper. Walking a little further inside, Xie Baoshu finally saw a Shushan brother

Child.

This disciple is sleeping.

He slept in a strange position, sleeping on his flying sword, and the flying sword did not fall. This Shushan disciple has a delicate face and a gourd hanging from his waist. If Xie Baoshu guessed correctly, this is also a sword-raising gourd.

When Xie Baoshu and Murong Ziying stepped into this room, the disciple quickly opened his eyes, and his eyes stayed on Xie Baoshu. His eyes were very sharp. But he quickly closed it again and said, "After you go in, you can practice, but you can live and die at your own risk." ”

Xie Baoshu didn't know that in this demon subduing tower, he could still practice.

Murong Ziying pulled him, then walked inside, and said, "It is possible to practice here, but there is danger. Back then, Liu Guanshan was in it, and he got a secret method of Buddhism to suppress the evil nature in himself. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "What kind of danger method?"

Murong Ziying said: "For ordinary cultivation, you only need to hone your aura in the Demon Suppression Tower, with the help of those demons. This method is exactly the same as in the Two Realms Mountain. If you want to be stronger, you can go to prison and fight monsters. However, it is life-threatening and requires great care. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, so it was.

He didn't come here to practice, just to get a better look at the scenery of Chang'an City. After taking a turn around the Demon Slaying Tower, he was ready to go out. Before leaving, the boy was still sleeping.

When Xie Baoshu left, this Shushan disciple opened his eyes.

He stood up suddenly, feeling that the Demon Descending Tower was a little quiet today. Because in the past, the big demon at the bottom of the tower would let out some roars from time to time to deter them guards. Most of the guards of the Demon Suppression Tower are disciples of Shushan.

Shushan uses this to hone the sword heart of his disciples.

But today, in the Demon Suppression Tower, no matter how manic it is, the big demon. is still a quiet little demon, all extremely well-behaved, and there is no sound. I don't know what the reason is, the Shushan disciples were afraid of changes and decided to go in and have a look.

As soon as he entered, he saw a shocking scene.

On weekdays, those arrogant demons are now all prostrate on the ground one by one, as if they are greeting the king, trembling. The disciples of Shushan had never seen this kind of situation, and they were a little distracted.

At this time, Xie Baoshu's breath slowly disappeared from the Demon Suppression Tower.

Those big demons reacted, slowly got up from the ground, and when they saw this Shushan disciple, they roared one after another, and the loud sound shook the Shushan disciple's ears. He hurried out, shocked inside.

Who was that boy just now?

Xie Baoshu didn't know so much, so he walked leisurely on the streets of Chang'an City and learned about the city carefully.

Chang'an City has a population of millions of people, drinking water, water supply and drainage, and material transportation is a big problem, and the Sui and Tang dynasties dug four canals to divert water into Chang'an.

Yong'an Canal: From the south of the city to the west of the city, into the north of the forbidden garden, into the Weishui. Qingming Canal: From the east of Yong'an Canal, the water is diverted into Xingqing Palace, the north enters the imperial city, and the pool is poured into Taiji Palace;

The garden is injected into Weishui. Cao Canal: From the west of the city, orange water enters the city from Jinguang Gate and flows into the west market.

These four canals solve the big problem.

Xie Baoshu really admired the skilled craftsmen who built this city back then, and he also admired the formation mage who laid down the big array. Because he has been to other prosperous places, compared to Chang'an City, it is simply a poor and remote country.

This look, as if it was the Boundless City back then, can be compared with it.

It's a pity that the once mighty Boundless City is now buried in a patch of yellow sand. Chang'an City, but it is still so domineering.

Since Tang Gaozu built the capital of Chang'an, the population has increased year by year, and the emperor's relatives, officials, soldiers and civilians have to consume a large amount of grain. Every year, grain should be transported from the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River through the Cao Canal.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, about 200,000 stone of grain entered the customs every year, and by the middle of the Tang Dynasty, this figure exceeded 4 million stone, which shows the growth of the urban population.

With such a large population, in addition to most of them being Han Chinese, there are also many ethnic minorities and immigrants from afar. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks were destroyed, and the population of one million was surrendered, and 50,000 people moved into Chang'an City, and more than 100 people from the Bulie Imperial Court.

The number of border feudal regimes, foreign envoys, monks, merchants, entertainers, and children of nobles who studied also flocked to Chang'an, and they also brought civilizations from all over the world into Chang'an.

Precious wine was still very rare in the court at that time, and could only be tasted in the hotel run by the restaurant Hu. Since the opening of the far gate west out of Chang'an, thousands of miles away, mulberry hemp cover the wilderness, the road is smooth, for the famous "jade road".

The trade of the lighthouse country was connected to the east and west cities of Chang'an through the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor. Commodities from all over the world are dazzling in Chang'an City, and there are many precious extraterritorial tributes stored in the court.

Seeing these things, Xie Baoshu knew that the "Jade Road" back then was definitely a good project.

There are many melons, fruits, and dishes that are not available in Kyushu. It can be transported from other countries through the "Emerald Road". In this way, the people of Datang can eat more flavors. This is something that other countries cannot do.

The Central Hundred Officials and Offices are located in the Imperial City and are the political center of the country. In the early Tang Dynasty, it has always been admired by local officials, promoted from the local to the central, and is known as the promotion to the immortal township.

In the reign of Zhenguan during the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty during the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an became a holy place for literati and scholars to yearn for, and the Jinshi Poetry Meeting under the Ci'en Pagoda was famous every year. Famous poets such as Li Bai, Du Fu, and Bai Juyi have left moving deeds inside and outside Chang'an City.

Chang'an, which means "long-term peace and stability". On the streets of Chang'an at this time, Xie Baoshu could see orchids selling wine, Persian merchants bargaining, and Tang envoys who came to China to study...... Chang'an accepts the coming dynasty from all directions, and it has enough self-confidence that it never worries about being overwhelmed by foreign civilizations.

The name "Chang'an" will always exist in the hearts of Chinese people, turning into a distant dream about the Tang Dynasty.

According to historical records, the young Bai Juyi went to Chang'an to study and met the poet Gu

Condition. As soon as he heard his name, he shook his head, "Chang'an is expensive, and it's not easy to live." ”

But after he read Bai Juyi's poems, he changed his words and said: "It's a big thing." "At that time, Chang'an was the capital of a country and a world-famous city, and the prices were naturally expensive, but its doors were always open for talented people.

Xie Baoshu touched his pocket, thinking about the hundred purple immortal jades he still owed to the Sword Casting Villa, and muttered, "Chang'anju, it's really not easy. ”

His current immortal jade, he doesn't know how many days he can live here. The inn here is more expensive than Mobei, and it is simply a money grab.
