Volume 1 Mountains and Rivers Meet Chapter 23 Luoyang
Time does not stay, the seasons do not stop, the two move forward hand in hand, leaving all the way to the vicissitudes of life and flowers.
"Luoyang" as the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty, naturally not in vain, because the city is too big, the population is too much, even if there are four city gates in the east, west, north and south, it still does not prevent the city gate from time to time to fill and block, which shows people's love for this thousand-year-old capital.
In fact, since the founding of the human race for thousands of years, the four dynasties have all moved their capitals, but only the Gaoyang clan has never moved their capitals. I don't know if the one on the dragon chair in the past dynasties has a soft spot for this kind of city, thinking that moving the capital is a waste of money and a strong love for the old land, or because the center of the vast mountains and rivers in the land of hundreds of rivers is this city.
A scholar who has visited geography once said that the location and territory of the five dynasties can be divided into: Southern Han, Eastern Tang, Western Song, Northern Qin, and Central Chu. The center of the Great Chu Territory is Luoyang, so Luoyang is the center of the human race, which is easy to understand.
......
There are two times a day at the gate of Luoyang City that will definitely block the Long Dragon Team, that is, sunrise and sunset. Sunrise into the city, sunset home, because not everyone can have a property in this city, the Son of Heaven is really under the feet of every inch of land.
Unfortunately, Ah Qing and his entourage of five people arrived at the gate of Luoyang City at dusk, and the five of them looked at the long dragon with melancholy eyes. Restless hearts, restless midsummer hot weather, the five of them looked at each other and sighed and became part of the team.
Half a day after leaving Xintao Village, the five of them could not say that they had crossed mountains and mountains, but they could indeed be regarded as trekking through mountains and rivers. Most of the five people who have traveled through the three counties are walking on foot, and if they walk slowly, they can naturally enjoy the scenery on the side of the road, and at the same time cultivate the aura of heaven and earth.
As for whether Master Guo Yao is following them at the moment, it is unknown, maybe he was already drinking wine in a restaurant in the city at this time, pinching peanuts and sighing that the city is really different from the city.
It wasn't until there was only a glimmer of sunshine left in the sky that it was finally Aqing's turn for the five people.
The guards at the city gate were dressed in the iconic Da Chu black armor, and after taking the official document of Longhu City handed over by Ah Qing and opening it, their expressions suddenly turned bright, the serious expression on their faces eased slightly, and their eyes still had a faint respect.
"Adults wait a moment. "The guards return the correspondence to its original owner.
"Big brother, is there a problem with our official document?" Ah Qing said cautiously, every time he saw the Hanjia soldiers, Ah Qing would be a little frightened in his heart.
As the guards beckoned, the five armorers came with sonorous and powerful steps holding iron halberds.
"No, let's just go in by ourselves. Yun Ting's voice sounded.
Yuan Huanhuan said with a hippie smile: "That's it, how can you bother the military masters to escort poor students like us." ”
Ah Qing then remembered that his senior sister was Princess Da Chu.
Hearing this, the guard arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "My lord's words are wrong, the students of the academy admire my Chu army, and it is natural for us to escort them, not to please Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Ah Qing blushed a little and was at a loss.
Zhou Xin said softly: "We understand the kindness, but we really don't need to, you should do your thing." ”
The guards didn't talk nonsense, and they gave up their hands and looked polite.
Ah Qing followed behind his senior sister and brother, and didn't dare to look up at the eyes of the breastplaters.
Passing through the gate of the Great Wall of the cave is the city, and the remnants of the light in the sky are not worth mentioning in front of the bright lights of the city, illuminating the flat bluestone road.
The official road is bustling, people are dressed coolly in summer, most of the men's short shirts are neat and neat, and the women's light gauze skirts are in the fog. There are many restaurants and inns, peddlers and pawns, and people watch the juggling.
It's just that unlike the prosperity of merchants in Longhu City, the capital Luoyang has some special features.
The man in the green shirt with a sword, his footsteps are mysterious, and he walks like no one in the shoulder to shoulder, fluttering like a void against the wind.
A unicorn with demon blood, his eyes are humane and indifferent, and the person on the horse is a child less than ten years old. The reason why no one dares to covet it is because of the fierce momentum of the old man on the horse's side.
The charming and colorful woman's beautiful eyes twisted her waist lightly, and the womanizer's paws did not touch the hem of her clothes, she knelt down with pale faces and wailed, and her fingers were broken inch by inch.
The group wearing Taoist robes all carried long swords and were extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
The middle-aged man wearing the Daqin official hat walked in a tiger's step, and several people guarded him, shuttling between the Qinglou and the Red Fang.
Someone in the restaurant raised a glass to the moon and talked to himself, I don't know if he remembered his hometown or the old man, and the wine in the cup was steaming......
These are all scenes that Ah Qing has never seen before, compared to here, Longhu City is more like a poor country.
Ah Qing followed behind his senior brothers and sisters, looking left and right, like a child in the countryside, seeing the coexistence of gentleness and roughness, boldness and delicacy, a little novel.
"Luoyang is Luoyang, and every time you come, it is a different feeling. Yuan Huanhuan said with a smile.
"When was the last time you came?" asked A-Qing curiously.
"When I was nine years old, I followed my father to buy medicinal herbs. Yuan Xianhuan rubbed his chin and said, and Toshiro's face led the passing woman to look sideways.
"This year is the big test. Zhou Xin said.
Ah Qing was just about to open his mouth to ask, but Zhou Xin continued: "Although the Fuyao test is held every year, it is a big test for ten years. Those who disdain to participate in the walkers will often compete for beauty at this time. ”
"If Luoyang City didn't have Fuyao Try, would it be like this?" asked Ah Qing.
"The capital of a country gathers the world's scenes, and the scenery is naturally unique. Yun Ting rarely spoke.
"The scenery in our courtyard is more chic. Yuan Huanhuan said, secretly looking at Yun Ting, who was expressionless.
Yun Ting rolled her eyes.
Ah Qing and Ren Jing and Zhou Xin couldn't help but laugh when they saw Yuan Xianhuan's deflated expression.
The five of them gradually approached, and the closest thing was naturally the black stone tablet located in the center of Luoyang City, and the crowd under the Fuyao list was crowded.
Ah Qing squeezed through the crowd and finally came to the huge black stone, looking up at the densely engraved golden names one by one, which radiated light even in the dark night.
"This year's big test, I don't know what demons will be born. ”
"I heard that there is an innate sword embryo woman with only a scabbard in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, and she is very powerful. ”
"I don't know if the demon of the Shangguan family of the Southern Han Dynasty will participate this year, at the age of sixteen, he is already a cultivator in the middle of the Soul Melting Realm. ”
"So terrifying? I heard that Guan Zhiyu of Qingding Academy raised the Quartet Qingding, and he was seventeen years old and cultivated in the upper realm of the Soul Melting Realm, and it is estimated that he will definitely participate this year. ”
"It's all demons!"
"Who on this list is not a person with extraordinary talent. ”
...... There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, mostly discussing this year's Fuyao test.
Ah Qing squinted his eyes and saw the eldest sister who ranked third at the heights, Gao Yangyue of the Ordinary Academy, the second was Shi Song of the Xianyun Academy, and the first was Zhang Lan of the Heavenly Master Mansion.
Xianyun Academy...... Heavenly Master's Mansion......
"Ah Qing!" A crisp shout exploded from Ah Qing's ears to his head.
Ah Qing trembled in fright, raised her arm and slapped the head of the initiator with a palm, and a dull sound was obviously because she didn't have time to dodge.
Su Huahua, who was wearing a cyan gauze skirt with a jade pen hanging from her waist, covered her head and said angrily: "Why do you look like this! Don't you know if you don't hit your head! My hairstyle has been messed up by you." ”
Ah Qing pouted and didn't pay attention to this follower.
"You dare to ignore Miss Ben!"
"Don't make a fuss, so many people are watching. Ah Qing said with white eyes.
The eyes of the crowd were attracted by Su Huahua's movements, and their expressions were different.
"It's just, I don't know, I think you two are flirting. Yuan Huanhuan squeezed his eyebrows and said.
Su Huahua's cheeks were crimson, and he glared at Yuan Huanhuan fiercely, and the woman who accompanied him from Luoyuzhai couldn't help but dare not laugh.
Su Huahua was originally going to come to Luoyang with Ah Qing and his party to participate in the Fuyao test, but was brought back by Luo Yuzhai before giving up, but fortunately Su Huahua was not there, otherwise Ah Qing's ears would have been worn off by her all the way.
For this follower, Ah Qing was helpless, and it was easy to clean up for half a decade, and he was approached by this guy again.
"I've seen Lin Gongzi. "The owner of Tinglan Mansion is also in the column of the women in Luoyuzhai.
"I've seen the owner of Qu Lou, is Aunt Qing okay?"
She said to be waiting for your good news. Qu Xiu said with a smile.
"It's still half a decade before the Fuyao trial opens, where do you live?" Ah Qing asked embarrassedly, scratching his head.
"We also have an industry in Luoyang City, Pujialou. Su Hua's face was full of sorrow.
The eyes of the people around are getting more and more weird, what is the relationship between these people and Luoyuzhai, the woman has always ignored outsiders.
"If you don't like it, you can come and stay with us. Qu Xiu invited.
"Thank you, Master Qu, we have a place to live. Yun Ting saluted.
After that, Aqing and his party said goodbye and left here.
"Let's go, go back, little heel bye-bye!" said Yuan Huanhuan with a wave of his hand.
Su Huahua saw that Ah Qing didn't look back all the way, snorted coldly, turned his head and left.
The woman who left her face to look at each other was helpless.
