Chapter 14: The Imperial Capital

readx;

After passing through the mountains, plains and highlands, and bypassing countless county towns, Luo Zheng finally came to the imperial capital after half a month. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Luo Zheng thought that Chongyang County was not a small city among all the counties, but when Luo Zheng stood at the gate of the imperial capital and looked up at the golden city gate dozens of zhang high, his mouth was still open.

Even if in various books, he exaggerated and praised the grandeur of the imperial capital as much as he could, and Luo Zheng was psychologically prepared for the grandeur and luxury of the imperial capital, but when he set foot in the imperial capital for the first time, he was still like a dirt bun who had just entered the city, and was deeply shocked.

In fact, Luo Zheng has seen many of the scenery of the imperial capital from books, and the details recorded in the books are extremely detailed, even the pictures copied according to the scenery.

For example, the golden city gate in front of you, this golden city gate is called Wangtian Gate, which is thirty-six zhang high and nine zhang wide.

Thirty years ago, Princess Qi of the Demon Clan intermarried with the prince of the Burning Heaven Dynasty, and this Wangtian Gate was the dowry brought by Princess Qi at the beginning.

When Luo Zheng saw the golden city gate made of pure gold and various gemstones, he understood the meaning of Princess Qi's dowry: In the eyes of our demon clan, you humans in the Eastern Regions are all poor.

Passing through the Wangtian Gate, Luo Zheng walked on the main road of the imperial capital, admiring various scenery on both sides along the way, a pillar of Optimus Blazing Sky Pavilion about 100 zhang high, the majestic and huge Earth Dragon Altar, and all kinds of flying chariots shuttled among them......

These scenes hurriedly passed by Luo Zheng's sight, and what he was most concerned about was Qingyun Sect.

After many inquiries, it took a day, and through most of the imperial capital, Luo Zheng finally found the location of Qingyun Sect.

The huge Qingyun Sect occupies almost a quarter of the area of the imperial capital, which is several times larger than the area occupied by the imperial city, not including the continuous Qingyun Mountains behind the Qingyun Sect.

Compared with the extravagant and boundless Wangtianmen, the sect of Qingyun Sect seems to be a lot more stingy, except for the three big characters of "Qingyun Sect" that scolds Fang Xuan, there is basically no other desirable place, surrounded by green trees, and green vines are entrenched, which looks ancient.

Next to the sect, there are two teams queuing up to sign up.

The one on the left has only more than ten Miao Miao, while the team on the right is lined up in a long dragon, and the long dragon is winding and circling, and it is impossible to see the end at a glance, and it is estimated that there are no less than a thousand people.

Luo Zheng walked to the team on the left, and because there were relatively few people, it was Luo Zheng's turn after a while.

The receptionist in charge of signing up glanced at Luo Zheng, stretched out his hand to him and said, "Please take out your scholar documents." ”

"Scholar clerical?" Luo Zheng was stunned for a while.

The receptionist pointed to the table and said, "I only accept scholars here, if you don't have a scholar paperwork, please line up over there!"

Only then did Luo Zheng understand why there were not many people queuing up here, it turned out to be dedicated to serving the scholars.

The scholar clan is a special class enshrined by the emperor.

In the entire empire, only a very small number of wealthy families are qualified to be called scholars, and these wealthy families are basically concentrated in the imperial capital.

The Luo family in Chongyang County, of course, cannot be a scholar family, and Luo Zheng naturally can't come up with any "scholar documents".

Seeing this scene, the people in the long queue next to him let out a low laugh, and their faces showed contempt. Queuing up is indeed a boring thing, and Luo Zheng's move is a rare joke.

"Where did the buns come from......

"I don't even know the scholar clan documents, but these days are really all people squeezing into the Qingyun Sect......"

Luo Zheng didn't react to these disturbing voices in the slightest, just nodded to the receptionist, and walked to the end of the long queue under the contemptuous gaze of everyone.

The life of a domestic slave for two years, and several escapes from death, had already made Luo Zheng's mood very smooth, and the insignificant provocations and ridicule were not enough to make him angry, but to calm him down.

The team was moving very slowly, and Luo Zheng simply closed his eyes and recuperated.

"Are you here for the first time to participate in sea trials?" After a while, a voice came from Luo Zheng's front.

Luo Zheng nodded, and then opened his eyes, and it was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who spoke, with a kind tone and a kind face.

The young man found that Luo Zheng had opened his eyes, smiled at Luo Zheng, and said, "It's the second time." ”

"What do you mean by 'sea trial' just now?" Luo Zheng asked his confusion, Luo Zheng knew that the requirements for Qingyun Sect to recruit disciples were very strict, and he had to pass layers of assessment before he was eligible to enter Qingyun Academy, but after all, he was not a person from the imperial capital, and he was not very clear about the process of admitting disciples to Qingyun Sect.

The young man smiled slightly and said: "Qingyun Sect is the cultivation holy land of the world, there are countless people who want to join it, if everyone is assessed, I am afraid that even if the people of the whole sect are invited, I am afraid they will not be busy, so Qingyun Sect stipulates that except for the children of the scholar clan, other people must pass the sea test before they can participate in the assessment of Qingyun Sect." ”

"This benevolent brother, may I ask what is the content of this sea trial?" It is said that this Qingyun Sect is very difficult to enter, and now when I hear that this is the case, there are so many rules, but I don't know what the price of that Luo Peiran is that he is directly recruited as a disciple of the inner sect.

The young man said with a smile: "The so-called sea trial, in fact, is to gather us together to run, Qingyun Sect stipulates that the lowest realm to participate in the sea trial is the bone refining realm, but the refining of the dirty realm, the refining of the marrow realm can also participate, but the requirements for these realms are different, for example, the refining of the bone realm only needs to run a certain distance, if it is the refining of the dirty realm, it is necessary to run a longer distance......"

Is it just running? Luo Zheng blinked, this sea test doesn't sound difficult, after all, everyone can run, and after Luo Zheng enters the refining realm, his breath is long, and his body's breathing is finely coordinated, even if he is far away, he can hold on.

After learning about the requirements of the sea trial, Luo Zheng's heart settled down, and he chatted with the young man for a few more words, knowing that this young man's name was Mo Can, and he was a child of a small family in the imperial capital.

Qingyun Sect's sea trials are held once a month, and Mo Can has already failed once last month, and this year is the second time he has participated.

Under the small talk, time passed very quickly, and before I knew it, I was lined up with them.

After Luo Zheng registered his name, he got a jade pendant from the reception, and Luo Zheng's identity information was recorded in this jade pendant.

Carefully putting the jade pendant away, Mo Can said: "Brother Luo Zheng had better rest more tonight, the word running sounds simple, but the road of Qingyun Sect is a little special, specific...... You'll know the day after tomorrow," Mo Can thought for a while, and then said: "I think Brother Luo Zheng is a foreigner, if you don't have a place to live, you can go to my house to live." ”

This Mo Can is a warm-hearted person.

However, Mo Can's invitation, Luo Zheng declined, two years of warmth and coldness in the world made him see many things clearly, without merit, many things are not easy to doubt people, and they will not easily believe people.

At this moment, many people walked out of the Qingyun Sect, most of them were wearing white robes, and here and there were a few people in black robes.

Seeing Luo Zheng looking carefully, Mo Can told Luo Zheng: "Those white robes are all outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect, and when we pass the sea test and then pass the assessment of the Qingyun Sect, we will be eligible to wear white robes." ”

"What about the black robe?" Luo Zheng asked.

"The black robe? The black robe is the child of the inner gate! Whether it is the status or the pills that can be received every month, there are many more than the white robe! My father's goal for me is to put on the black robe and become a disciple of the inner door," Mo Can's face showed a look of infinite yearning.

Luo Zheng nodded, but he thought of Luo Peiran, that day Luo Junyi announced that Luo Peiran was admitted as a disciple of the inner sect on the day of clan refining, what is the reason for this? Could it be that the Heavenly Earth Creation Pill really has such a miraculous effect, and it actually made Luo Peiran's skill enter the realm so quickly?

Just thinking of this, there were six or seven black-robed disciples in front of him walking towards this side, and one of them glanced at Luo Zheng a few times, with a strange expression on his face: "Luo Zheng! I didn't expect you to be dead, but you still dare to sign up, and you want to be admitted to the Qingyun Sect?"

Luo Zheng's eyes stared, he saw the person's appearance clearly, and sneered in his heart, this is still a coincidence, he thought about this person, but he didn't expect this person to really appear in front of him.
