There was still a month before Chu Xi's birthday, and the family celebrated his sixth birthday in advance, and Chu Xi rushed to the royal capital with the Zhao family's fleet.

The royal capital Tiantongcheng, generally known as Tongjing, is more than 3,000 miles away from Gufeng City, the valley river goes all the way to the north, joins the Tongjiang River in the middle, and goes straight up thousands of miles along the Tongjiang River before rushing to Tongjing.

Along the way, Chu Xi can be regarded as enjoying the great rivers and mountains of Tiantong Country.

Cousin Zhao Mingzhe has traveled all over the years, running the family business, and has seen extraordinary, and some of the things he has seen and heard along the way have made Chu Xi fascinated.

"Xi'er, do you know why our continent is called the Star God Continent?"

"I don't know. ”

"Legend has it that there are hundreds of millions of stars in the sky, and each star corresponds to a person, and the star god created this world to protect the world with star power. ”

"Does the Star God really exist?"

"Of course, every twinkling star in the starry sky is the incarnation of the star god, and in the Star God Continent, there is also a group of followers of the star god, guarding this world. ”

"Where do these followers come from?"

"It is said that everyone is born with a star soul, but only a few people who are favored by the star god can awaken the star soul, and those who have a star soul are called star warriors, which are different from other warriors. ”

"Then, the followers of the Star God are the Star Warriors, right?"

"The followers of the Star God are indeed Star Warriors, but only a very small number of powerful Star Warriors can become followers. ”

"Uncle Cousin, how can the star soul awaken?"

"This is the purpose of your visit to the royal capital this time, the followers, or you can call them guardians, founded the Star Temple, which will baptize all young people who have reached the age of six but are not yet fourteen years old for free. ”

"After baptism, can you become a star warrior?"

"Of course not, only a very small number of people can awaken the Star Soul. ”

"So, can a child my age be baptized?"

"Of course it's impossible, in the baptism of the Star God Temple, the judgment about the awakening of the star soul is more accurate, the larger the Star God Temple, the more advanced the baptism. ”

"That day, there was only a king in Tong Kingdom, did they have a Star Temple?"

"Every city has a star temple, and outside the city, there will be star envoys to baptize and test other children, and the baptism of the royal capital is only held once every three years, together with the star god festival. ”

"Can't anyone over the age of fourteen be baptized?"

"As a general rule, all people reach the age of baptism, and each person may receive baptism up to three times in his lifetime, and even if there is an omission, if he has not been baptized before the age of fourteen, then he can only be baptized once. ”

"Are any of these people who have successfully awakened the Star Soul?"

"Hehe, is it so easy for you to awaken as a star soul? 100,000 people, a million people may not be able to produce one, but people over the age of fourteen may have very few successful examples in tens of thousands of years. ”

Chu Xi had to ask a little clear, the body of a six-year-old, the soul of a twenty-year-old, who knows what this baptism and testing is based on.

Chu Xi didn't care very much about whether he could awaken the star soul, after all, there were too few such people, and there might not be one out of a million.

Inexplicably came to this other world, Chu Xi just wanted to live in a mess like the previous life, and he had read the sage books for more than ten years, but it was useless.

However, when looking through the travelogues and legends in his grandfather and father's study, Chu Xi was still very envious of the powerful star warriors and the powerful star soul power in them.

Sometimes, he also fantasized about how good it would be if he could also become a star warrior, to explore this magical world, and even to find a way to return to the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Xi doesn't like the current Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is in charge, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, but after all, it is the homeland where he was born and raised, and he has relatives, friends, and other people and things to worry about.

The big boat went all the way down the river, but after reaching the Tongjiang River, it turned to go upstream.

The Star God Continent is truly wonderful, the big ships here are not rowed by manpower, but are driven by some devices that Chu Xi has never seen before.

After asking Zhao Mingzhe, I learned that this is an alchemist's invention, just like the grinding of tofu, many rockers keep swinging, driving the hydro wheel to generate power, and the big ship can sail.

Chu Xi had seen the tofu mill grinding tofu, but it was human-driven, and in the Star God Continent, alchemists generated heat through an ore called fire crystal, and the heat pushed a metal piston to swing the rocker.

According to Zhao Mingzhe, alchemists are very great and have invented a lot of practical things, and among the major forces in the mainland, the Alchemy Guild is second to none and extremely rich.

After a journey of 3,000 miles, it took a full month to arrive in the rapid advance of the big ship.

A majestic city surrounded by the Tongjiang River on three sides, leaning against a mountain cliff, towering on the riverside.

Whether it is the height and length of the city wall, the scale and prosperity of the giant city, it is not comparable to Gufeng City and Fengqi City.

The place where Chuxi enters the city, is a huge wharf, cars come and go, it is very lively, all kinds of tall buildings in the city are lined up, and a hundred-story tower is particularly eye-catching.

In Tongjing, Chu Xi met his eldest brother who had not been seen for a long time.

Chu Dong is ten years older than Chu Xi, although he has not awakened the star soul, he has a good talent in martial arts, and he entered the Hundred Battles Academy opened by the kingdom's military three years ago.

Chu Pojun seemed to want to create the posture of a family of martial arts, so that Chu Dong could learn military affairs while practicing martial arts in the academy.

The officers in this world are different from the Ming Dynasty, and having martial arts skills is the prerequisite for being an officer, of course, like Chu Xi's great-grandfather, he can only have some foreign exercises and sword techniques, so he is only a centurion.

Chu Dong was born very similar to Chu Zhansheng, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Chu Xi was more like his mother, handsome and delicate.

"Little brother, my father said in his letter that you had an accident and were worried about the death of your eldest brother, by the way, why did your face become like this?"

Chu Xi rolled his eyes, what else could he do, and told him about the military training of Yumaguan.

"Haha, grandpa really has a way, so that you are like my Chu family's son, let's go, let's go to the academy first, there is still half a month, and the baptism of the star god will not arrive. ”

followed Chu Dong to live in the Hundred Battles Academy, and Chu Xi was waiting for the arrival of the Star God Sacrifice and Baptism.

As a student of Da Ming Tai Academy, Chu Xi of the Military Academy has also been there, but the style of the Hundred Battles Academy is obviously different.

The whole academy covers a wide area, and the middle area has been transformed into a huge martial arts arena, with all kinds of terrain conditions, and students are divided into colleges according to different military branches.

It is rare for his younger brother to come to the royal capital, and Chu Dong also specially accompanied him to visit the prosperous Tongjing, the hundred-story tower that attracted people's attention when he entered the city, turned out to be the destination of Chu Xi's trip, Tongjing Star Temple.

The architectural style of the Star Temple varies from city to city and country, but without exception, they are all built extremely high, and it is said that it is more convenient to receive star power.
