Imperial swordsmanship is already very sophisticated, and the sword dance shows the depth of martial arts, and everyone knows it.

After the banquet, Fang Xin was invited by Xiao Hongqin to the small pavilion of a man-made lake in Nanning Garden, which has about ten acres and is circular, with weeping willows planted all over the pond, and lotus flowers are planted in the lake, and all kinds of climbing plants are planted on both sides of the corridor.

The four pillars of the pavilion are made of logs, the corridor is made of wood, corresponding to the clear water, quite the interest of nature, there is a word in front of the pavilion, the number is "Nanshan", at this time, the spring breeze in May blows, and the wicker is swaying.

And Xiao Hongqin was cooking tea on a small stove to entertain guests, Fang Xin stepped forward: "Auntie, what's the matter with me?" ”

"Fang Xin, come, sit, can you tell Auntie about your experience in the plane?" Xiao Hongqin asked gently.

"Auntie wants to listen? I've already told Bingbing about it. Fang Xin asked in some surprise.

"Come, have tea, let's talk." Xiao Hongqin said, a cup of tea with a green aroma was poured up, Fang Xin took it, drank it, felt the aroma and the brilliant spring, and then said: "Then I told my aunt to listen to it, anyway, I will be free in the afternoon, and the kendo competition will be held tomorrow!" ”

Fang Xin began to talk one by one, the same as what he said to Xiao Bing last time, and carefully talked about the situation of the second plane trip, when he talked about the Houtu Temple, Xiao Hongqin smiled: "Fang Xin, do you believe in Houtu Niangniang?" ”

"I can't say I have faith, but I respect her great wish, so I am willing to spread some faith for her unconditionally." Fang Xin said indifferently, his smile was very delicate, and when he said this, the holy light of Hou Tu Niang Niang was mixed in the sun. Suddenly filled Fang Xin's body, and immediately enveloped Fang Xin: "I think faith must be faith out of love." ”

"Not bad, except for this one. What else did you learn on the plane? ”

"Confucianism, Auntie, I've already passed the exam, if I go to the place next time, then I can take the Jinshi exam."

"Then go, Auntie approved you to go, you can use my Xiao family's plane transferor at will in the future, and besides, your swordsmanship has almost reached the peak of the fourth order, although the empire also has a fifth-order swordsman. But there are only a few people, and it is not easy to ask them for advice, but you can find some suitable planes yourself. Maybe you'll encounter a fifth-order earth trick! Xiao Hongqin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Auntie, I really want to go, when my Qingteng Cup swordsmanship mid-game is over, I will continue to travel, I find that I will get many benefits."

"Of course, I reached the fourth order at the age of nineteen, and I have been staying in the fourth order for twenty years, and I have recently developed dimensional travel, and after I participated, I had a chance by chance. Only then can he be regarded as entering the fifth order, and when he enters the fifth order, he can serve as the first reclamation. Xiao Hongqin seemed to recall something, and she was overwhelmed with emotion.

"First Reclamation?"

"Yes, it's not easy to reclaim a new plane. The first entry is often very risky, because the rules and circumstances are not clear, and the first reclaimer is to go there to understand the situation and establish a stronghold. Make way for those who come after you. The main reason is that the Fifth Order is not only powerful, but also basically a kind of Holy Spirit. There is a survival force in many worlds. Xiao Hongqin said lightly: "If you cultivate sword qi and become a fifth-order, in the philosophy of the empire, you can be called a sword immortal, in the European system, it is a holy realm, or a demigod, the empire will pay a huge price to hire, I was lucky back then, the first time I went with people, and I was promoted to the fifth order at that time, and then I participated in three plane expeditions, and I have already earned back a plane transferor, but I was also injured a little, which damaged my yang god, so I have been cultivating for the past few years." ”

Although it was such an understatement, Fang Xin still gasped, the benefits and risks in it were so great that Fang Xin had a clear understanding for the first time.

"So I'm very optimistic about you, what do you want to do, just do it, Auntie supports you, although Bingbing is smart, but in the end it is still a little worse, and I don't know the meaning of it. As for kendo competitions, I don't think you have to participate in them, it doesn't mean anything to you right now, it doesn't increase your experience, it doesn't increase your prestige. Xiao Hongqin finished the tea and continued: "I have personally rejected some plans about you, as for the money, even if you win the first place in the finals in this competition, it is only 60 million bonuses, if you want it, Auntie will give you 100 million immediately and let you spend it, how about it?" Men always need some autonomy, and it's a little vague, I understand. ”

"In that case, if Auntie wants to give it, I will accept it unceremoniously, but is there such a big risk in the first battle of the plane descending?"

"Of course, when you break the barrier of the plane for the first time, there will be many problems, the biggest problem is that it will be discovered by the powerhouses of that world, when Auntie participated in the first plane for the third time, she was besieged, and as a result, four fifth-order, twenty-one fourth-order, only two fifth-order survived, and all the others died in battle, and even the soul did not come back."

"Especially because of the plane repulsion, our strength is basically compressed to about one-third, otherwise it wouldn't be so miserable, the stronger the broader the plane, the stronger this rule and repulsion Originally, you can't know yet, but I see that you only have one step, so I told you." Xiao Hongqin casually took out a card, docked with Fang Xin's card, and then said in a voice.

"Dut, Mr. Fang Xin, 100 million yuan is transferred to your local account, please check."

"Thank you, Auntie, I understand, will our world be invaded by outsiders?" Fang Xin unceremoniously withdrew his card, it is unlikely that a fifth-order swordsman will participate in this kind of competition at all, so Fang Xin has a high chance of winning the first place, and it is a complete victory, so the first place prize is sixty million, but in fact, with the bonus of consecutive wins, one hundred million may be exceeded, so this money is equal to what should be taken.

For the aristocratic family of the empire, it is not a good thing for Fang Xin to be in the limelight like this, it is no longer the era of aristocratic land, the wisdom of the people has been opened, the prime minister is elected to control the government, and many things have to be scrupulous. Therefore, this is actually a natural exchange, and it is not in accordance with the rules not to take it.

After taking it, Fang Xin asked this question.

Hearing this question, Xiao Hongqin showed a smile: "It's basically impossible." Our world is special. ”

Not much more.

"Isn't Bingbing also a fourth-order, maybe you can enter the fifth-order soon?"

"You're wrong, the fourth order to the fifth order is a level, and Bing'er is eager to speed up, the foundation is unstable, and the internal refining is not pure, if I can enter the fifth order within fifty years, I will be very satisfied." Xiao Hongqin's eyes flashed with a trace of regret, and said, "But you are different. The last time I saw you, I didn't feel anything, but this time. I feel that it is only a matter of time before you enter the fifth order, and this time is not long. ”

"Well, Auntie, then I won't go, I want to exercise my body well, cultivate my internal breath, and then I will go to that plane again, I think there will be some gains there." Fang Xin slightly regretted it. If you know the meaning of the fourth-order peak, then returning to the Fang family is not just a thug as you imagined, it is likely that the Fang family will do their best to cultivate themselves, but now. It doesn't make much sense anymore.

After drinking the tea, Xiao Hongqin took her leave.

Fang Xin left the pavilion and walked along the path to the Nanning Garden, just looking at the flowers. It also took an hour. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "This is still now, if five hundred years in the morning." How strong is the power of the aristocratic family, 500 years ago, 20 years of the Eurasian War, 300 years ago, the division of imperial feudal towns, the alliance of nobles, and the civil uprising, how did you balance the world and establish a constitutional monarchy? ”

When he returned to a place, he saw a pavilion, some people were sitting on the stone bench, they were also drinking tea, and talking about something, after smiling and saluting, Fang Xin didn't listen again, and saw Xiao Bing from a distance, just in front of a small house, and stepped forward.

Fang Xin walked slowly and found that this small house was all made of bamboo, it seemed that it had been some time, delicate and natural, making people feel full of elegance.

Xiao Bing was talking to a woman, this woman's hair was also combed into a high bun, and the hairpin was inlaid with pearls, dazzling, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a very good figure, and towering breasts, which made her more feminine.

"Ashin, are you done talking to your mother?" Xiao Bing saw him, said with a smile, and said, "This is my cousin Xiao Jing, you haven't spoken yet!" ”

Fang Xin vaguely remembered that there was also her at the banquet, of course she was not impressed, and now it was the first time she really met, so he stepped forward and said, "Hello, Sister Jing." ”

As soon as she sat down and gossiped, she heard Xiao Jing talking about her trip.

"Isls (note: Britain), we first arrived at the landing point, and went to see the landing site of the ocean-going fleet sent by Tang Taizu in his later years, in fact, there is nothing to see, it is nothing more than a beach, after gathering, we will go to see Fort Born, which is said to be the first stronghold of the Han people, and the first city, the scenery is not bad, lingering among the lakes and mountains, but the Duke of Resley, how do I look at it, I don't think he has Chinese blood?"

"Sister, after all, it's 1,600, after waves, diseases, battles, and the separation of Southeast Asia, there were only more than 9,000 people in the ocean-going fleet who reached Isls, plus the lack of women, all of whom were married to local natives or women who had plundered land from Europe, so over the years, of course, they were assimilated."

"Yes, even Houtu Niangniang has become the goddess of the earth and the underworld, Medis, and Taizu has become the sun god Resinig, but the basic rituals have been retained, and now the belief in the kingdom of Isls can still account for sixty percent, which is already good."

"Thanks to the blessing of the Ten Years of Religious Wars, but it is not interesting to say this, we also went to visit the arched art gallery of the royal family, stayed at the Charny Hotel that night, and visited the Holy Sword Mausoleum the next day."

Fang Xin listened to them chatting casually with a smile, and when they finished speaking, he said to Xiao Bing: "Ah Bing, according to your mother's meaning, I won't go to the kendo competition, why don't we also go on a trip!" ”

"It's a good idea, come with me to the kingdom of Teckensen (Portugal), which is also one of the Han settlements, but unfortunately, it was completely destroyed, leaving only some traces."

"It's too far away, why don't we just walk around the country?" Xiao Bing seemed to be very excited.

"The country is too close, why don't we go to Japan, and I'll see what this thousand-year-old subject country is like!" Fang Xin said this, revealing a sneer.

In this world, Japan was seriously affected when Taizu was in the Tang Dynasty, and called Chennagong, it is said that Taizu built an ocean-going fleet, and a quarter of the logs were produced from Japan.

Culturally and religiously, Japan's native Shinto was heavily affected, and although nature worship was still maintained, this conscious and powerful influence from the Tang Dynasty was evident in the creation theory and the legends of the deification, including Taejo.

Although later, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, during the Second Shogunate era of Japan, a "purification movement" was carried out, creating its own writing, and compiling its own history and mythology, which also strongly promoted the "Sun Goddess Amaterasu" and also diluted the influence of the mainland gods, but this subtle trace can still be seen everywhere.

But even so, until now, Tang Taizu still exists as the "Heavenly Pillar Mask God", and the believers and influence are still very large, but it often represents the meaning of awe, and is often regarded as a feared god in Japanese mythology.

As for the Emperor, this title has long been gone, and the title recognized by the world is the King of Japan, or the King of Japan for short.

Even if it changes at the beginning, this island nation still has many aspects like Japan on the earth, especially in the polytheistic beliefs, gods are not limited to real gods, and all those who are said to be extraordinary are called gods, not only powerful, excellent, kind, and meritorious, but even those who are extremely vicious and terrible are also called gods.

As long as a person does something that no one else can do, whether good or evil, he can become a god.

This phenomenon should not be accidental, Fang Xin wants to take a look.
