Chapter 1056: Staying in the Chen Mansion
In order to hold a martial arts meeting that can prove that the Quartet Kingdom is getting stronger and stronger year by year, although this martial arts meeting is presided over by the Chen family, the other two major families in the city will still put aside their past suspicions and support it, which is also a tradition in Shenjian City, which has been passed down for many years.
Lin Xuanzhong learned more and more about the Divine Sword Martial Arts, because along the way, other people were talking about the Divine Sword Martial Arts, and they also talked about the people who had achieved excellent results in the Divine Sword Martial Arts last time, and of course, some new stars. According to other people's accounts, Lin Xuanzhong also knew that the reason why the Divine Sword Martial Arts was held once every three years was precisely to create more talents.
To this day, Lin Xuanzhong not only wrote down the names of some people, but also remembered the strengths of those people. If there is no exaggeration in the narrative of Chen Wenhao and others, it can be seen that this time the Divine Sword Martial Arts is indeed a gathering of strong people, which also stimulates Lin Xuanzhong's interest in the competition. Coupled with Chen Wenhao's description of the prizes in the comparative test, Lin Xuanzhong finally decided to take a look even if he didn't participate. In this way, the group walked in front of Excalibur City.
There are some guards standing under the tall city gate, those guards are the people of the city lord's mansion, in the city of Excalibur, the city lord's mansion is just an institution that maintains the daily order in the city, there is no real power, the position of the city lord is done by the personnel of the three major families in turn, and the usual duty is to regularly report to the royal family on the situation in the city, and act in accordance with the will of the royal family. To put it simply, the City Lord's Mansion exists only for convenience.
The tall north gate connects to the wilderness, but it still looks very imposing, and the towering walls on both sides give people a sense of impregnability, and it is not easy for ordinary armies to capture such a fortified city.
After entering the city, the neat and orderly buildings on both sides of the road attracted Lin Xuanzhong's attention, reminding Lin Xuanzhong of the city that never sleeps before. In comparison, Lin Xuanzhong quickly discovered that Divine Sword City was only stronger than the City That Never Sleeps.
"Brother Lin, don't look at the fact that there are not many people here now, there will be people everywhere in two days," the north of the city is the most remote area of Divine Sword City, compared with several other areas, there are not many shops and inns, but there are still many people entering and leaving the city on weekdays.
"Where are the three towers in the city?" understood what Chen Wenhao meant, but Lin Xuanzhong's attention at the moment was on the three towers in the city that were at the same angle.
"That is the central hall of our Chen family, the Wang family, and the Sima family. ”
"What's that rotunda again?"
"The trading center in the city, where the venue of the tournament is held. Brother Lin, you may not believe it, that venue can accommodate up to 100,000 people, and there is no martial arts arena within a radius of thousands of miles that is as big as our martial arts arena in Divine Sword City," he had intended to introduce Lin Xuanzhong to Divine Sword City, and under Lin Xuanzhong's initiative to ask, Chen Wenhao's tone was even more excited.
"Can that many seats be full?"
"Of course I can, ordinary people may not be able to have a place if they want to see it, but if Brother Lin wants to see it, even if I give up my position, it will definitely be a feast for Brother Lin's eyes. ”
Chen Wenhao's extremely affirmative tone gave Lin Xuanzhong the feeling that even if there were 100,000 positions, it would be difficult for ordinary people to want a position, which made Lin Xuanzhong very surprised, so that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't understand how popular the martial arts tournament in Divine Sword City was.
"Let's talk about it then," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to refuse Chen Wenhao's hospitality.
"There are only five days left before the start of the Divine Sword Martial Arts, and the representative teams of each city and the royal family will all arrive, how about I arrange Brother Lin to settle in an inn in the city?
"Is there a more secluded place?" The streets were full of figures, and groups of people were chatting happily, which was indeed very lively, but Lin Xuanzhong wanted to find a quieter place.
"A secluded place," muttered, Chen Wenhao didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong made such a special request, and after thinking about it for a while, he continued: "The city is overcrowded during the martial arts competition, and it is difficult to find the kind of place that Brother Lin needs. If Brother Lin doesn't mind, you might as well go to Chen's Mansion with us, and then live in my small courtyard. ”
"Chen Mansion," silently, Lin Xuanzhong felt embarrassed by Chen Wenhao's statement, but after thinking about it, as Chen Wenhao said, there was no quiet place in the city, and Chen Wenhao's residence seemed to be the best choice, so after thinking about it for a while, Lin Xuanzhong nodded and replied: "Then how troublesome!"
"Okay, I'm going to meet the elders of the clan later, and Wen Yu will send Brother Lin to me," Seeing Lin Xuanzhong agree, Chen Wenhao was very happy, and then directly explained to Chen Wenyu and the others next to him.
"No problem," although he also didn't understand why Lin Xuanzhong wanted to live in a quiet place, Chen Wenyu still agreed with a cheerful face. After the events of that night, Lin Xuanzhong's image in Chen Wenyu's heart changed again, a high-level martial artist who was deeply hidden. In addition, because of the contact in the past few days, Chen Wenyu also found that Lin Xuanzhong is not only unfathomable, but also peaceful, without a bit of genius martial arts cultivation, and is a worthy befriender, so despite some identity differences, Chen Wenyu and other people who first came into contact with Lin Xuanzhong have regarded Lin Xuanzhong as their friend, and this is also the reason why Lin Xuanzhong is willing to be a guest.
The further you go, the more pedestrians there are, and those with weapons and similar costumes shuttle through the shops and inns on both sides of the street, all dressed in gorgeous clothes. Compared with the outfits of those people, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that he was ordinary, but fortunately, his clothes were still clean, and he could walk calmly in the crowd.
On the way to Chen's Mansion, Chen Wenhao and the others kept talking, and gave Lin Xuanzhong a thorough explanation of the distribution of forces in the city. In fact, there is not much difference from the usual city, but the family power in Excalibur City is greater than the local power in the ordinary city, and the scene in the city is more prosperous, and there is no difference in other aspects.
It is worth mentioning that the distribution of power in Excalibur City is very similar to that of Sleepless City, and the location in the city is a place shared by the three major families, so the martial arts venue is built in the middle of the city.
When the group walked to the middle of the city, the huge circular building in front of them was so large that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't imagine how many people it would take to build it, and the majesty was really difficult to describe in words.
There are also some pictures carved on the high curved wall, with ancient fonts, a kind of momentum that has gone through the vicissitudes of time and shows the magnificent atmosphere, which makes people can't help but yearn for it, and want to see it.
After separating from the other two people, one person walked to the gate of Chen's mansion, the tall gate was majestic and magnificent, and there were several guards standing at the door, all of them with an awe-inspiring atmosphere, giving people an incomparably * feeling.
After Chen Wenhao and the others successfully entered the mansion, they went straight for a distance, and Lin Xuanzhong followed Chen Wenyu and the others towards the sideways.
While walking, there are many internal buildings in the Chen Mansion, and the halls are very magnificent, especially the seven-storey tower in the middle, which is very unique.
Without the introduction of Chen Wenyu and others, what Lin Xuanzhong could think of was the road to the main hall, even if Chen Wenyu and they usually didn't have a chance to go. And as a guest of a clan, it is impossible for him to be received by the high-level of the mansion, of course, this is exactly what Lin Xuanzhong wants.
After seven turns and eight turns, after passing through the courtyards, the group finally walked to Chen Wenyu's residence. Chen's mansion is too big, there is no carriage, Chen Wenhao usually even has trouble traveling, of course, Chen Wenhao spends most of his time practicing at his residence, and he doesn't need to go out. Anyway, after coming to Chen Wenhao's courtyard, Chen Wenyu and the others still looked at each other with admiration, and seemed to want to have such a courtyard.
"Lin Feng, if you are a member of our Chen family, one of the first few rows of courtyards must be yours," After saying how good Chen Wenhao's courtyard was, Chen Wenyu also used this to flatter Lin Xuanzhong.
"Where, I'm just an ordinary martial cultivator," smiled, and Lin Xuanzhong looked around. The yard is not big, the width of the three huts, the length and width are about the same, some flowers and plants are planted in the corners of the yard, and most of the place is still the open space used by Chen Wenhao for practice, which is very simple. When a maid heard the voice come out of the next room, they said hello, and then the maid invited them to the living room.
The layout in the living room gives people a new feeling, it seems that Chen Wenhao is quite particular about decoration, after sitting down around a table, a few people have said goodbye in advance, and finally there are three or four people left such as Chen Wenyu. After asking the maid to get some tea, several people waited patiently in the house for Chen Wenhao to come back. In order to avoid embarrassment, Chen Wenyu and others talked about things related to the martial arts conference.
At the same time, in a large hall that Lin Xuanzhong saw before, Chen Wenhao stood in front of an old man with a respectful face.
"Ten Elders, this is the Ming Wind Grass," opened the piece of cloth, and a foot of grass covered with hollow rhizomes appeared in front of the old man.
"Wen Hao, your trip is going well, right?" The old man with a majestic expression walked over and took the Mingfeng Grass in his hand, but he didn't look at it carefully, as if he had only glanced at it and decided that it was the Mingfeng Grass.
"Thank you for the care of the ten elders, everything is going well," in front of the old man, Chen Wenhao's words and deeds were respectful.
"I heard that you also brought back a guest, and that the fact that you can get this Mingfeng grass has a lot to do with that person?" the old man turned around, turned his back to Chen Wenhao, and his tone became cold.
