Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Play
Theoretically, the number of parallel worlds is endless. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When anyone hesitates about something and finally makes a choice, his other choice can become an inflection point in another universe - the gap between the two worlds starts with a different choice.
But in reality, parallel worlds are not so easy to create. For example, the choice of whether to eat rice, noodles or steamed buns at noon today is usually not a parallel space because of the lack of sufficient influence. Unless it's a well-known person who chooses between sweet tofu and salty tofu brains, which in turn affects the war between the sweet party and the salty party......
In Zhao Kun's view, most of the choices are just insignificant waves in the long river of time and space that runs through the world of this side of the world system. This long river of time and space is endless, and it also divides into infinite tributaries, and even the more tributaries that branch out from the relative upstream, the thicker they become, and the more tributaries they branch out. But to create a new tributary, at least the kind of event that can make huge waves.
For example, a Grand Canal that has made people's lives difficult.
Although Zhao Kun still hasn't understood why this tributary and this parallel world will be made miserable by a grand canal. This river is neither a strait, nor can it run an aircraft carrier, that is, a five-tooth ship. The Y-shaped canal is a little longer, but a lot of work is just to dig further or connect the previous rivers or canals in series. The amount of work seems to be huge, but in fact, it is nothing compared to the civil engineering of this world, not to mention that it took six years.
In the first year of the great cause, Yang Guang ascended the throne in the first year to repair the old road of the Yang Canal, the old road of the Bianqu Canal for the Tongji Canal, in the same year to repair the straight road of the ditch opened by Chen Deng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the four years of the great cause, and the Hebei migrant workers dredged the Tunshi River of the Han Dynasty, the old river of the Great River and the white ditch opened by Cao Cao for the Yongji Canal, and the dredging of the Spring and Autumn Wu Canal, the Qin Dantu Waterway, and the Southern Dynasty Canal for the Jiangnan River in the sixth year of the Great Cause. So far, the project of digging the Grand Canal, which lasted six years, has been basically completed.
In March of the first year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang issued an edict to Yang Su, Yang Da, and Yu Wenkai to build the Eastern Capital, and in the first spring of the second year of the Great Cause, Luoyang, Tokyo was completed. Just like Yang Jian built Daxing, Luoyang, the eastern capital, was also a new city, and the new capital was disposed of in the east of the old Wangcheng and eighteen miles west of Luoyang City in the Han and Wei dynasties.
The newly built eastern capital was divided into three walls: the outer castle, the imperial castle, and the palace castle. The circumference of the outer city alone is 28 kilometers, the city wall is all made of rammed earth, the top of the city wall is eight zhang wide, and the city is thirty zhang high.
In addition, after Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he was initially set in Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty. However, Chang'an at that time was dilapidated and narrow, so it was decided to build another new city on the southern slope of Longshouyuan in the southeast. In the second year of the emperor's reign, under the auspices of Yu Wenkai, the palace city and the imperial city were built in only about 9 months. The Miyagi and Imperial Castles are located on this plain between the Ba, Chan and Wei rivers, with a width of about 17 kilometers from east to west and a length of about 40 kilometers from north to south. Obviously, the scale of Daxing City is larger than Luoyang, and the width and height of the city wall are not inferior to Luoyang.
In the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang mobilized more than 100,000 people in Daxing to start building part of the outer Guocheng city wall. The overall pattern of Chang'an City was basically formed at the end of the year. Waiguo City is the capital, and the circumference after completion is 367 kilometers.
Look at the construction history of Luoyang and Daxing, look at the more than 100-meter-high black technology city wall, calculate the amount of work, and the earthwork of the Grand Canal is a fart!
For this small tributary in the long river of time and space, Zhao Kun's deep gaze relying on magic can see through many things, but he can't see through the origin point of this parallel space.
Fortunately, he didn't come to study the origins, but because he had detected anomalous fluctuations from a certain directionβthe kind with data streams. Zhao Kun, who saw with his own eyes that the data flow began to erode this parallel space, simply went out by himself and tried to snipe/disrupt/collect intelligence.
ββββββββββββ
Zhao Kun walked into the hall with his hands behind his back, first looked around, and finally landed on the face of Shi Long, who was sitting like a mountain, and sighed: "It's not that Brother Shi is tired, you have obtained the envy of the cultivators, but you don't dedicate it to the saint, teach him to be displeased, I, who is favored by others, can only be a small errand, come and see that Brother Shi is a person who knows and is interested." β
His every move is very much in line with Yu's culture and personality. As a legendary-level faceless person who has already been able to use the heirloom jade seal brought from Da Zhou to perform the ultimate time-interfering membrane method, this acting skill is nothing. Just follow the script.
Shi Longxin screamed.
He was also the first person to come into contact with the Yuwen Valve.
The Yuwen family is the most famous for its own lord Yuwen Injury, and there are four masters below, among which Yu Wenhua and the most well-known people in the rivers and lakes who became the head of the Sui Yang Emperor's Guard, it is said that he is the first person to practice the family secret skill 'Bing Xuanjin' after Yuwen Injury, and he didn't expect that his appearance was so young, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be no more than thirty years old.
Since the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, one of the characteristics is that the family developed from generations of noble families, also known as the Gaomen or Gate Valve, is clearly distinguished from the Shu people of the ordinary people.
The so-called 'the top grade has no cold door, and the lower grade has no family'.
Economically and politically, the nobles enjoyed great privileges. It was not until Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, ruled the world and won the imperial examination, and the situation of the gate valve monopolizing everything was slightly broken.
But the gate valve is still unwielding, and the four surnames of the gate valve that are famous in the rivers and lakes refer to the four powerful families surnamed Yuwen, Li, Dugu and Song, who have huge influence in politics, economy and martial arts.
Among the four surnames, only the Song surname belongs to the southern wang clan, insisting on the authentic Han blood. The other three surnames, because they are located in the north, are quite deep. The surname Yuwen itself is a Hu person, but it has been integrated into the culture of Middle-earth and is not regarded as an outsider.
Although Shi Long's mind was racing, he was very tidy on the surface, and said calmly: "Shi has always been wild, he has never understood the way of flattery, and he is a person who eats soft and not hard, maybe in a hurry, he will fight to burn the jade and destroy the book, at that time, Brother Yuwen will not be able to give an account to the master?" β
The two had a verbal battle at the beginning, Shi Long refused to fall into the wind, and seeing that he was afraid that he would not be good, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Who knows, Zhao Kun's version of Yu Wenhua frowned when he heard this, "Master, master, master, you are paralyzed!" I still have to remind myself that this is in the Sui Dynasty, not shopping...... I'm clear. You've seen too many pigtail plays, right? Do you know that the master of the Ming Dynasty only has the meaning of a powerful role? β
Shi Long was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what Yu Wenhua was talking about at all.
Just when he wondered if this product had broken his brain from practicing or was mentally abnormal, Zhao Kun suddenly retracted his anger, looked Shi Long up and down with a straight face, and his mouth was still slurking.
After a long while, he spoke: "If Brother Shi can destroy the treasure book, then this book must not be Guangchengzi's "Recipe for Longevity", and it is not a big deal to destroy it, but Brother Shi's attitude is harmful to the students of your dojo. Maybe it will also harm their parents and children, don't the Taoist and Buddhist families both emphasize accumulating virtue and doing good? Brother Shi seems to be contrary to this purpose! β
Shi Long listened to his threatening tone, and knew that what he said was true. Finally, his face changed slightly, and at this moment, Zhao Kun immediately made a move and punched him in the air.
Of course, he controlled his strength very well, and guaranteed that he would not drop Shilong in one move and could give him enough pressure. Although he can't do it or anything, there are some true qi magic that can produce a cold effect, and there are even more of them with cold attributes.
As soon as Zhao Kun made a move, the air in the hall immediately became extremely cold, if it weren't for Shi Long's pure internal strength, I am afraid that his teeth would tremble. You know, the day before yesterday just after the heat, it was the time when the weather was hot.
The stone dragon still looked like he was sitting in his chair, but his clothes were bulging. However, he knows his own family affairs, and as soon as the other party makes a move, the cold comes out, but it seems to be nothing, just like the air around him has been driven. The icy aura surrounded the stone dragon from all directions, and he didn't know where to fight back, forcing him to use his whole body of true qi to fight back.
"Peng."
The true qi on the stone dragon's body burst out violently, pneumatic exchanges, forming a vortex, with the stone dragon as the center, stirring around, the nearby furniture, tables and chairs, the wind swept away the leaves and cracked, rolling in all directions, and finally only Shi Long was left with one person and one chair, sitting alone in the center of the hall.
"Not bad." Zhao Kun nodded, "It is worthy of being the first person in Yangzhou, and he can block my punch." At this point, I will persuade you again, if Brother Shi hands over the treasure book quickly, and disappears from now on, I can read on the rivers and lakes of the same way, let Brother Shi a horse, this is good intentions rather than malice, life and glory and disgrace, Brother Shi can be decided. β
An incomparably ridiculous feeling welled up in Shi Long's heart.
Since I got this Taoist treasure "The Secret of Longevity", I have broken my head, but I still have nothing. The state of mind is not as peaceful as it was before the book. Now that he has offended the current emperor for this book, and even ordered the emperor to take the opportunity to kill his own disciples, so that all the local martial arts halls were disbanded in order to eliminate the armed forces in this area, is this the "sin of Huaibao"?
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to believe that Yu Wenhua would let him go because he was willing to hand over the "Recipe of Eternal Life", and with Yang Guang's violence, he would let himself go.
However, he had just made a move with Yu Wenhua, and found that the other party was more difficult than he imagined. It is said that "Bing Xuanjin" is actually a strange and incomparably strange whirling cold energy, which is much more unpredictable and difficult to prevent than the general straight-going energy, but when he actually did it, he found out that it was wrong.
He didn't feel any maneuver at all, because the opponent's attack was completely coming from all directions. Just looking at the hoarfrost that had congealed in the hall, he was a little desperate.
There's no way to crack it.
Despite this, Shi Long was still determined to fight to the death and refused to let the treasure book fall into Yang Guang's hands.
He was afraid that Yang Guang's talents might really be able to decipher all the oracle bone inscriptions in the book, master the key to immortality, and become an immortal tyrant, then he Shilong would not be able to escape the blame.
"This book is not fateful, it is not beneficial and harmful, if Brother Yuwen has the ability, he will take this book back to the faint king to read, but if he is killed, don't blame me Shilong for not warning him first."
As he spoke, Shi Long gathered all his strength.
Immediately, all the subtle sounds in a radius of ten zhang came from his ears, and even the sound of insects and ants walking away could not be concealed from him. Deng immediately heard the soft and slender breathing of more than a dozen people, showing that the people surrounding him were all good at cultivating both inside and outside.
"Then you're going to die."
Zhao Kun raised his hand indifferently, and the temperature of the air in the hall began to drop sharply......
"Someone!"
"Steward!"
A group of masters who were tasked with encircling the courtyard jumped into the hall full of ice ballast.
"The stone dragon ran out of the tunnel." Zhao Kun pointed to the broken trapdoor on the wall and said to these masters who were as slow as the police. "But he can't run far, chase, transfer troops, set up cards, and ask the whole city, you must find the secret of longevity!"
"Yes!"
ββββββββββββ
"What did you say?" Zhao Kun picked up the teacup and glanced at Zhang Shihe, who was kneeling in front of him,
"Boss, we have already caught Shilong's friend Tian Wen who hurried out of the city, but the book on that guy was ripped away......"
"A bunch of rubbish! I couldn't find him when I searched his house before, and I finally threw myself into the net, and you actually told me that the book was picked up? β
"Why be angry?" Chi Sheng, the governor of Yangzhou, who was drinking tea with Zhao Kun on the side, smiled, his eyes flashed cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Chen Shoubei! β
Chen Shoubei, who was usually domineering, hurriedly stepped forward, immediately knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Humble duty!" β
"Immediately close the gates of the city, and at the same time arrest all the thieves and ruffians for me, if they can't hand over what the Holy Lord wants, they will not want to die again."
"Obedience!"
Zhao Kun nodded, and then instructed Zhang Shihe, "Go and interrogate Tian Wen to see if there are any clues." β
"Yes, sir."
When all the people in the group retreated, Zhao Kun sighed, "This book is really important, I have prepared an expert, as long as I get the treasure book, immediately pretend that the decipherment is successful, and give it to the faint monarch to cultivate, and guarantee that within three months, he can be trained to death." How can you want to get what you should have gotten in your hands, but it is a twist and turn, and the disadvantage is that you can't fake another copy. β
The governor of Yangzhou and Yu Wenhua and the two are not only knowledgeable, but the relationship is even more extraordinary. Yang Jian established the Great Sui Dynasty to replace the world with the surname Yuwen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, because the power of the surname Yuwen was deep-rooted, although Yang Jian became the emperor, he still failed to uproot the Yuwen fighting valve, and when his son Yang Guang became the emperor, the surname Yuwen became strong again.
When Yang Jian was in power, there were three ministers who supported the Yuwen family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to raise an army, namely Wei Chi Zhou, the governor of Xiangzhou, Sima Zhennan, the governor of Zhengzhou, and Wang Qian, the governor of Yizhou. Among them, Wei Chi Zhou is Yu Chi Sheng's cousin. Therefore, the two of them talked secretly, and they had no scruples at all.
The two talked for a while, and Zhang Shihe came to report.
"Mr. Qiqi, things are a bit eyebrow-raising!" Zhang Shihe said: "According to Tian Wen's confession, before he was arrested, he bumped into three little hooligans, and it seems that these three boys stole the treasure book. β
"Shi He must have found out what kind of people these three little rascals are, and they will come to report the good news."
Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "That's right, one of these three people is called Kou Zhong, the other is called Xu Ziling, they are natives of Yangzhou, and they are also the most famous pickpockets, and the other is their boss Yan Kuan, a local gangster leader, with more than 20 gangsters under him, and they also have something to do with the local Bamboo Flower Gang." β
"The leader of the gangsters will follow the pickpockets to steal? Presumably, this Yan Kuan has already ...... Hey, hey, hey. (To be continued.) )
