Chapter 203: Finally Seeing Chang'an City

Xie Baoshu was stunned, he really didn't expect it.

The leading brother among the three, who seems to be the most powerful, actually ran away. From this point of view, the rune paper he was holding in his hand just now should be something like "a thousand miles in a day".

Murong Yingcai also didn't expect that he still held the sword of the swordsman in his hand. With a laugh, he looked at the swordsman and said, "You big brother, you don't seem to be very reliable?"

The swordsman was already pale and speechless. He never thought that his eldest brother, who had never missed, would escape. In the past, when he went out to do tasks, he pressed the formation, and there was never an accident.

What's going on today?

Murong Ying saw the appearance of this swordsman, shook his head, and stopped talking. With a slight force on both hands, he directly crushed the swordsman's throat. Then he stood there and gasped for air.

The three-person siege actually put a lot of pressure on him.

Okay, thank Baoshu again and solve that ghost cultivator. He looked at the evil knife in Xie Baoshu's hand, was very interested, and said, "Your knife is not bad, can you show me?"

Xie Baoshu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I want to give, but it doesn't want to." ”

The evil slashing knife is one of the four divine swords in the world, and it is naturally unwilling to be touched by others. Although Xie Baoshu is its owner, he does not have the right to give it to others. If Qingyun Sword is a docile sheep, then the Evil Sword is a roaring lion.

Murong Yingcai felt a little pity, and he said: "It's a pity that such a good weapon can't be observed." ”

The evil slashing knife should be self-generated between heaven and earth, not artificially created. Even so, Murong Yingcai still wanted to see it, because as a blacksmith, he couldn't help but want to touch these peerless masterpieces when he saw them.

The two of them packed up and prepared to continue on their way.

These people are all casual cultivators, and they have nothing to prove their identity. So it didn't matter at all, just as the two were about to leave, there were suddenly a few whistling voices in the air. When I looked closely, it turned out to be a team of Xuanwu guards coming from the wind.

Murong Yingcai frowned, in the middle of the night, Xuanwu Wei didn't come early or late, why did he come at this time?

Xie Baoshu also felt that something was wrong.

This team of Xuanwu Guards, a total of ten people, all of them are masters. And the weapons and magic weapons on his body are excellent, and he looks like he knows that it is not simple. When they saw the corpse on the ground, they didn't hesitate and took out the starbridge iron lock on their waists.

Murong Yingcai raised his hands and said, "We are all good citizens,"

Those Xuanwu guards laughed, and the leader pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "In the middle of the night, you two are fiddling with the corpse here, and then tell me that you are good citizens?" ”

Xie Baoshu glanced at Murong Yingcai and raised his hands.

In this way, the two did not resist, and were tied up by these Xuanwu guards with starbridge iron locks and taken into the distance.

Along the way, Xie Baoshu tried to feel his physical condition, and found that the aura was all locked, and there was no room for maneuver.

The body is still strong and can move. Murong Ying was the same, the two glanced at each other, and they didn't act rashly.

As the sky was slightly bright, the group finally stepped into Shenzhou County.

Shenzhou County is the smallest county in Middle-earth Shenzhou, the seat of Chang'an City, and the first county of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is also known as Datang County and Chang'an County. After coming here, Xie Baoshu saw a very simple scene.

In the rice field next to it, there are green cows grazing, and people are planting crops.

Xie Baoshu didn't expect that the first time he came to Chang'an County, it would be in this situation. After walking forward for a few hours, he realized that the center of this place was prosperous, and the two sides were relatively simple. Seeing that they were honest, several Xuanwu guards loosened the iron chains.

Finally, it is close to Chang'an City.

"Nine days to open the palace, all countries to worship the crown", Chang'an has been the center of the Tang Dynasty in the heyday of its development, attracting a large number of foreign envoys and worshippers.

"I want to fly with joy and strength, and I want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon." Chang'an has shown the self-confidence, openness, atmosphere, tolerance and upward national spirit of Chinese civilization to the whole world, and has created a cultural highland that the descendants of Yan and Huang will always be proud of.

Xie Baoshu had heard these poems in the mouth of Murong's predecessors before, and now when he saw Chang'an City, he still didn't know how to describe the grandeur of this city.

"The history of a city is the history of a country", Chang'an, the capital of the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty, has become the most famous city in Kyushu with its graceful elegance, full of economy, erudition and wisdom, and magnificent atmosphere inherited from generation to generation.

The famous "Jade Road" is starting from Chang'an. In the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was subordinate to Wannian County and Chang'an County took the meaning of Wannian Chang'an.

Xie Baoshu had seen the "Jade Road" before, and at that time he was thinking, what kind of country could build such a grand project? Now that he saw Chang'an City, he understood it.

Perhaps only the Great Tang Dynasty, as well as the Great Qin Dynasty, which was once known as a million sword immortals, can have such strength. The predecessor of the Sword Immortal once told Xie Baoshu that on the streets of Chang'an City, the cultivators below the three realms of ghosts and immortals were embarrassed to greet people. Standing at the gate of the city, Xie Baoshu really felt this.

Of the monks who came and went around him, there really wasn't a single one below the four realms. Following Xuanwuwei into it, Xie Baoshu really saw the city.

Chang'an City is magnificent in scale, rigorous in layout, symmetrical in structure, and neatly arranged. There are three gates on each side of the outer city, and the six main streets that run through the twelve gates are the main traffic arteries of the city.

The Suzaku Street running through the north and south is a standard central axis, which connects the Chengtian Gate of the palace city, the Suzaku Gate of the imperial city and the Mingde Gate of the outer city, and divides Chang'an City into two parts of east-west symmetry, the east is Wannian County, and the west is Chang'an County.

Xie Baoshu suddenly remembered a poem, which was Meng Jiao's queen Dengke.

In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery.

The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

Now I'm following behind Xuanwuwei, but I'm not happy at all. Xie Baoshu was a little annoyed, because he was clear

They didn't do anything wrong, but these Xuanwu guards didn't even ask, and they arrested them.

finally came to Chang'an, but ended up in such a field, Xie Baoshu was very depressed.

He also wanted to see Chang'an City for a while, but was taken by Xuanwuwei and returned to the Yamen. Chang'an City also has a yamen, but it can only take care of some small things, and the real big things are not dealt with here. Xie Baoshu was taken, first went to check his identity and read the disc, and then locked up in a small room.

A man who looked like an official walked in with a pen and paper, sat down in front of him, and asked, "Name?"

"Xie Baoshu. ”

"Age?"

"Twenty-one".

"What are you doing in Shenzhou County?"

"Look at Chang'an City. ”

"Did you kill those people?"

"Yes, but they did it first, probably trying to rob our treasure. "

"Alright, there's nothing to do, I'll make a note later, and you're good to go. ”

Xie Baoshu frowned, because he didn't expect things to be so simple. However, since it's so simple, then why these Xuanwu guards still arrested them with such fanfare, I really don't understand.

Soon, Murong Yingcai met with him. The old man had a smile on his face, and there was no uncomfortable feeling of being caught. He saw Xie Baoshu's depressed appearance and said, "Be content, you, Xuanwuwei is not joking with you." When they saw us killing people and didn't shoot on the spot, they were already very rational. ”

Xie Baoshu asked, "Then why did they bring us over?"

Murong Yingcai said: "Bringing it here is a procedure that they must do, otherwise it will be incompetent." Now that we have found out, the few people we killed were all well-known loose cultivators, not good people. Have a meal here, let's go. ”

Unexpectedly, the first meal I had when I came to Chang'an City turned out to be the official family's meal.

Xie Baoshu looked at those Xuanwu guards and was a little relieved for a while. They also work very hard, all for the security of Chang'an City. Recently, there are also a large number of Xuanwu Guards, who have been transferred to the Two Realms Mountain, so the security of Chang'an City is even more important.

The official family's meal is actually not bad.

When Xie Baoshu was eating, the official who had just asked came over with a bowl and said, "Little brother, how do you feel about coming to Chang'an City?"

Xie Baoshu didn't know what to say, so he could only say: "Okay." ”

After hearing this, the official was very happy, he was from Chang'an, and he must have been happy when he heard people from other states praise Chang'an. He looked at the knives and swords on Xie Baoshu's body and said, "These things can be brought in, but they are not allowed to be used at will in the city." ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, he knew about this.

When Chang'an City was built, it was when the Tang Dynasty was at its strongest, and Emperor Taizong invited the most famous formation mage at that time, so that he had what he is now. The former Chang'an City was also a good city, but it was still a little short to reach the location of the capital.

So, Emperor Taizong ordered someone to lay out a formation here.

The capital of the Tang Dynasty,

Naturally, the formation cannot be bad. Xie Baoshu heard that so far, no monk has been able to survive the attack of the formation intact. This formation is called the "Suzaku Formation", but it hasn't been opened for a long time.

In this generation, the person in charge of the Great Array is the ancestor of the Lu family.

In Chang'an City, monks can bring weapons when they come in. But everyone who entered the city was told that weapons could not be used at will. If it's a duel, it's okay. But it needs to be witnessed by someone so that the formation will not be alarmed.

Assassination, these things, simply do not exist.

Because there is the ancestor of the Lu family, in this Chang'an City, he is a monk of the Immortal Realm. With a wave of his hand, he can control people's life and death. In addition to this, there is also the Longquan Sword of His Majesty the Emperor. The Longquan Sword can also mobilize the aura of Chang'an City and kill the monks of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, which is also possible.

This is the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, and it is the foundation of the imperial court that can control the Yunhai Immortal Gate.

The immortal sect and the family are constantly fighting.

In Chang'an City, there are many families, the Lu family, the Ye family in Yunzhong, and the public loser and so on. These families are all standing in the position of the imperial court, holding those Yunhai Immortal Sects hostage. This is the pattern of Datang, and now is the time for the storm.

After Xie Baoshu finished eating, he was ready to leave.

Just now, the official said, "Young man, this kind of place, it's good to come here once." Hurry up, I don't want to see you again next time. ”

Xie Baoshu nodded, and walked out with Murong Yingcai. When I came in, it was still early, but now when I went out, it was raining lightly. Xie Baoshu and Murong Yingcai did not have umbrellas, and the two walked in the rain, and neither of them spoke.

Xie Baoshu looked at the scenery here and was a little distracted.

Is this the Chang'an City of my dreams? Even if it rains, it is still the same beauty. He wanted to laugh out loud now, but he was afraid that others would say that he was sick. I can only hold my mood and continue to walk forward.

Chang'an City has a radius of 84 square kilometers, the scale is magnificent, the shape is regular, the north runs through the Weishui, the west winds around the Feng River, the east borders the Bahe River, the Chan River, and the south looks at the end of the Nanshan Mountain. It follows the shape of Luoyang City in the Northern Wei Dynasty and the southern city of Ye Capital in the Northern Qi Dynasty, with three layers of different walls inside and outside, and the functions of the city are strictly distinguished.

Chang'an Longshou was originally the highest point, and from the perspective of military security and feng shui, he chose Longshou to set up Miyagi. To the south is the imperial city, where the government office and the community are located. Further south is the outer Guo City, and the city is mixed.

The main body of the palace is the Taiji Palace, which contains the Taiji Palace, the Liangyi Palace, the Ganlu Hall and other palaces, which is the place where the Tang Emperor handles the government and lives. The west of Taiji Palace is the Yeting Palace, which is the place where the palace maids rest. The east of Taiji Palace is the East Palace, which is used for the prince to live.

When Taizong of the Tang Dynasty added the Daming Palace in the east of the Taiji Palace, there were palaces such as the Hanyuan Palace, the Xuanzheng Palace, the Zichen Palace, the Yanying Hall and the Linde Palace, which became the place where Tang Gaozong handled the government and rested after the Emperor, called the East Interior.

Taiji Palace is called Xinei. There is a forbidden garden on the north side of Miyagi, which spans both sides of the Weishui River, and is widely planted with forests and pavilions. The south side of the palace is the imperial city across the street, which is the government office of the central officials.

The south of the imperial city is Waiguo City, also known as Luo City, the private residences of officials, temples, workshops,

Markets, private houses are dotted, eleven streets in the north and south, fourteen streets in the east and west, there are one hundred and one squares in total, because the southeast corner of the outer Guocheng is divided into Qujiang Pond, in fact there are only one hundred and nine squares. The base of the square wall is three meters wide, and each square has four doors.

There are cross streets, curved alleys, mansions and so on. Chang'an City has a central axis in the whole city, with the south gate of the palace city Chengtian Gate, the south gate of the imperial city Zhuque Gate, the south gate of the outer Guocheng Mingde Gate as the central axis, the whole city left and right symmetrical layout.

The avenue from Suzaku Gate to Mingde Gate is the widest, called Tianjie, the east of the street is the adult county, the west is Chang'an County, the east and west cities are separated from the south of the two imperial cities, and then the south is the Lifang people's houses, the Lifang near the palace city and the imperial city is the most prosperous, and it is also the area where the dignitaries and nobles are chasing.

As he walked, Xie Baoshu saw a tower, a pagoda towering into the sky.

He knew that this was the legendary Demon Slaying Tower.
