Chapter 1 The Ancient City of Xiangyang

Next Chapter

Although the sun in the sky is high, but the temperature is really not high, and you can even feel a chill invade the bone marrow, for this kind of weather, it can only be regarded as a good weather in late autumn, but this temperature feels that it is not late autumn ah obviously winter.

Matthew felt that he was going to be unable to do it, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would be frozen out of the problem, and he wouldn't go out like this in such weather! God, the thief of God, I don't know how I got here.

Matthew was wearing the big pants he wore when he slept, a big tank top, his feet were barefoot, he didn't even have shoes, and his face was so cold that even his nose was about to flow out.

One foot deep and one foot shallow stepped on the road, the low temperature on the ground was who was barefoot, who knows, and I felt that my feet were going to be frozen and numb. Use the grass on the side of the road to pick the ones that are not too tied to your feet, and tie them to your feet so haphazardly, which will be a little more comfortable.

He looked up at the sun again, and then at his watch, and the sun was almost noon. It's just that this temperature... It's hard to put into words.

sighed, found a relatively tall tree, just sat on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, recalling the experience of the past few days......

Matthew is a college student in the 21st century, a year after graduation, and like many people, he is unmotivated, running around in society and achieving nothing.

Just a few days ago, twenty days ago, after encountering unfair treatment in the company, he left in a fit of anger.

Then I thought about going out to travel and relax, so I packed up my equipment and went to climb the mountain, climbing the stone wall with both hands, and the exciting exercise made Matthew also excited. It's here, it's almost there! Matthew thought excitedly, nothing could stop him!

Suddenly, a purple light flashed in front of his eyes, Matthew was stunned for a moment, and found that there was a bean the size of a soybean in the stone crack under his hand, but it was shining with purple light, crystal clear, very beautiful.

Matthew took off the protective gear in his hand and continued to climb up with the purple beans in his hand, but found that there was nowhere to put it, and if he moved too much and put it in his pocket, he might fall down.

Later, when I thought about it, I simply wiped it and threw it in my mouth, anyway, it was almost to the top of the mountain, and it was not dirty to see this thing.

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain, looking at everything under the mountain, Matthew felt very comfortable, isn't it just a little frustration, something great, just endure it and go back to find a job after venting.

Looking at everything at the foot of the mountain, Matthew opened his mouth and shouted: Ah! Belch...... Cough... Cough... it!

The unknown beans swallowed in his mouth were swallowed, and Matthew said speechlessly: I don't know what it is, don't eat it anymore, it looks like a small glass ball, but it will glow? ”

---------

Matthew adjusted his mentality after returning that day, life always has to go on, and he rested early today. I'll get a job tomorrow. Man, always be hopeful for tomorrow.

What he didn't know was that the bean-shaped purple bead that he had forgotten came to his mind in a flash after he swallowed it, and then the color turned to a chaotic gray, and it fell silent.

"Chirp, tweet, Matthew was woken up by the sound of birds." Wow, this sleep is so comfortable, it's been a long time since I've slept so soundly. Matthew stretched and sat up.

Matthew was stunned by the sight around him, "Damn! Obviously sleeping in his own room, this... Where is this? Matthew's out-of-control voice said this dryly.

The scenery in front of me is really beautiful, with green trees, red flowers and green grass, butterflies flying, and birds and insects singing together. But where the hell is this?!

It took a long time to regain his senses, and Matthew knew that he had crossed him, and now when he closed his eyes, he could feel a seed in his mind, looking at the gray patch, but he could just feel the vigor of that seed. It's magical.

In such a strange scene, Matthew didn't know that the beans he picked up must be some kind of great treasure that could take him through time and space.

Matthew closed his eyes and "looked" at the seed in his mind again, then gritted his teeth and got up again.

"Since I have such an adventure, I must not fall here!" Matthew cheered himself up in his heart.

The rut marks on the road are becoming more and more obvious, and Matthew's body, which was originally tortured by the cold, has little strength, and he doesn't know where the strength comes from, but he feels that his body is a little lighter.

---------

Matthew was dumbfounded and looked at the city gate in front of him. Simple, solemn and majestic, the thick blue brick city wall makes people feel safe at a glance. There is a fortress of ten steps on the city wall, but what makes him even more trance-like is that there are two powerful characters hanging on the city gate, "Xiangyang"!

Xiangyang City is located in the south bank of the upper reaches of the Han River, Xiangyang City was built in the sixth year of Emperor Gao of the Western Han Dynasty, surrounded by water on three sides, one side is backed by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has a history of more than 2,000 years. Since Liu Biao came to Xiangxiang as the pastor of Jingzhou, it has been a state, county, government and county governance. The old city was used as a military fortress until the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it was changed from the original earth city to a brick city. Xiangyang City is valued by the soldiers of all dynasties, and is one of the most famous ancient city defense systems in Chinese history, and it is also the most complete ancient city defense structure in China. The total length of Xiangyang City is 7,322 meters, more than 4,000 battlements are set on the city wall, the widest part of the moat is 250 meters, Xiangyang City is one of the ten ancient cities that are most intact and preserved, since ancient times, there is "Xiangyang of iron fighting", the first city in China. There are six large gates in Xiangyang City, namely the Great North Gate, the Small North Gate, the Long Gate, the East Gate, the West Gate and the South Gate. Xiangyang City and Zhongxuan Tower, Drum Tower, Xiangyang Moat and other historical places are integrated, complementing each other, and it is a famous landscape city in the hinterland of China. The ancient city wall of Xiangyang in the Ming and Qing dynasties has been declared as a world cultural heritage, and has joined hands with other ancient towns in China to establish the "China Top Ten Ancient Towns Alliance".

Matthew had some limited information about Xiangyang in his mind. I couldn't help twitching in my heart: "This special ghost thing, where did you send yourself, don't be in troubled times, I am an unarmed ordinary person, compared with the army in troubled times, I really don't have the slightest strength!" ”

Matthew calmed himself down. There is no way to come, then it is safe, since you have come here, even if there are really any difficulties and obstacles, one word "war".

Now, let's talk about it in the advanced city, I'm about to freeze, and I can't stop the runny nose. His lips were blue, and his upper and lower teeth couldn't stop chattering.

Packing up the mood, a man wearing a black vest and big pants, dragging a pair of half-leaking straw sandals, walked into this thousand-year-old city tremblingly.
