Chapter 4: Thorns and Glory
When the turmoil caused by Nanlin's defection in the Taoist Academy gradually stopped, the discussion of the ancient kingdom of Daye in the cultivation community had just begun.
The preciousness of Daye Ancient Kingdom lies in its meaning and god.
The development of human cultivation has never stopped. It is true that there are some ancient texts related to the prayers of the gods that still have hidden powers that are difficult to explain, and other than that, the cultivation methods of the ancients have long been no longer advantageous. Therefore, people did not have a longing for the martial arts of Daye Ancient Kingdom.
However, Daye's present life allows people today to relive the magnificent epic of the ancestors full of thorns and glory. People are fascinated, revered and deeply grateful.
This is by no means a useless commemoration, it is important to know that the strength of the human race is condensed because of this, and the soul of the human race lives because of the belief in the word "noble".
That's the meaning.
It is an undoubted miracle that the capital city and the imperial mausoleum built hundreds of thousands of years ago have survived intact to this day, since that time when the cultivation was first born.
At the same time, no one can forget that it was during the Daye period that gave birth to the first direct dialogue between the gods and the human race—which was extremely important for the great powers who stood at the top of the cultivation world—especially since they lived in this closed plane that had been sealed for nine centuries, and they had not felt the gods for a long time.
Daye Monuments are already an inevitable thing for many people, and the limit of fifty-eight has further aggravated the fierce competition that was expected countless times.
"It's also good luck for the Daoist Academy, and the Daye Ruins actually appeared in their sphere of influence. It's been almost a month, and I'm afraid that these fifty-eight positions have already been occupied by their Dao Academy. ”
Lu Qiming walked forward along the street and heard a person behind him say.
"Are you as stupid as you are when you are in the Dao Academy?" the other person was very disdainful when he heard this, and he said in a convincing manner: "I dare to say that there are no more than five people in the Dao Academy, except for Chu Shaoqiu, and no more people will enter the Ancient Kingdom-any more will be equivalent to sending their own students to death! How precious are the Daye Ruins, where can the Dao Yuan family be able to swallow them alone? You must first ask the appetite of Wu Zong and Lingmeng, right?"
"That's not just five—I guess ten. ”
......
Similar discussions can be found everywhere. Lu Qiming has heard this kind of repetitive words no less than ten times along the way, all of which are speculating on the wrestling of the major forces in the Divine Domain over the attribution of Daye's quota.
But without exception, the people of these gods never mentioned the forces in the Black Triangle, and perhaps they didn't even think about it in their heads. The level of the ancient country's relics has far exceeded the limit that the aborigines of the Black Triangle are qualified to share.
Strength determines what you get, and it should be like this - so at this moment, Lu Qiming left the Black Triangle alone.
Lu Qiming walked along the spiraling wooden road, the snow and white clouds were swaying under the stairs, and the unique buildings not far away were romantic and colorful—this scene was much more colorful than the last time I saw it in the secret realm.
The black triangle is far away, and the mood is naturally much more comfortable. He admired the scenery for a moment, smiled slightly, and continued walking.
In the Divine Domain, there are very few places where Lu Qiming doesn't need to ask for directions;
-- This was Zhang Dayan's arrangement; more precisely, it was arranged by Zhang Dayan's grandmother.
There is nothing new in this arrangement itself, it is to let Lu Qiming go with others, and then make a long detour and return to Zhongwu in a tortuous way. One of the most valuable things is that the other person in the same industry has a special identity, and it will not be recorded or checked when it is transmitted with it.
As for letting Lu Qiming come to Yeliang City, it was the request of that one. They will meet here and then teleport together into the Taoist Academy, just as Lu Qiming took after he parted ways with Xie Yundu here that day.
Lu Qiming came in advance, firstly, in the proper manners, and secondly, he needed time to deal with some trivial items at hand.
That day, he and Chu Shaoqiu swept through the maze and got a total of thirty-seven storage vessels. The lowest cultivation level of their original owners also started from the Great Zhou Tian, and the grade of the treasured things in the vessel would not be bad. Most of these gains were consumed on the altar of Daye Ancient Kingdom, and later Lu Qiming used it to make two sets of special communicators, and seven out of ten have been removed.
But even if it is only 30% left, it is still a considerable amount of wealth. It's just that the things that are left after two uses are some remote things that don't really fit. It happens to pass through the "Wild Cool City", a big city that can also be called prosperous in the Divine Domain, so you might as well stop by to make some trades.
Xu is bad luck has been exhausted in the previous twists and turns, and today the road went surprisingly well. After everything is done, there is still an hour to spare from the appointed time.
Lu Qiming thought for a moment and continued to go to the heights.
......
Due to the particularity of the Golden Tree Secret Realm, most of the cultivators in it are above the Mystery Realm. However, in the real life of the Divine Domain, Zhou Tianjing is the mainstream.
Lu Qiming's demeanor naturally shuttled through the bustling crowd, without attracting attention at all.
He walked straight until he reached the eleventh floor of Yeliang City.
The restaurant on the edge of the eleventh floor is still half dangerously hovering in the sky, still so simple that there is not even a door plaque, and it is still remote but extraordinarily lively.
It is a restaurant in Momoyama.
Lu Qiming recalled that Su Jing, a pure young man with the eye of heaven, if he could meet him, he could ask Xie Yundu how he was doing-if it was according to the frequency of "being hunted down and killed once a month on average" that he summed up...... I wish him all the best.
There happens to be a window side left. Lu Qiming ordered a pot of tea at random, looked out the window, and was greeted by the gentle sound of the wind, the distant river and people's chatter.
The topics of the people in the restaurant are similar to those outside the building, except that there is more time and more detail. Lu Qiming originally had no intention of paying attention, but was attracted by a familiar name-
"Have you heard? Cheng Yuan seems to have appeared in the Black Triangle. ”
Cheng Yuan. This is the second time Lu Qiming has heard this name in this world.
The last time I was in the Golden Tree Secret Realm, when I met Xie Yundu for the first time - when he guessed Lu Qiming's true identity, he had said these two words.
There are a lot of coincidences. For example, a well-known figure in this world happens to be exactly the same as the name of Lu Qiming's sect in his previous life. For another example, the ancestor of the Han clan of the Yin Sect happened to have the same name and surname as his deceased senior brother in his previous life.
Lu Qiming thought aimlessly in his mind, and the conversation between the people over there continued to go deeper.
"Before, there seemed to be clues to suspect that the other person who was traveling with Chu Shaoqiu was a ...... of the Feng clan."
The word "Feng Clan" once again pulled Lu Qiming's thoughts back. But he wasn't surprised.
To be honest, in this period when the Black Triangle is in the spotlight, Lu Qiming, as one of the founders of Daye Ruins, until now, people have only "doubted" his identity rather than "confirmed", which has far exceeded expectations.
The man who had just spoken lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and continued: "Now that Cheng Yuan has appeared, it is almost enough to be sure - he is the one who walked with Chu Shaoqiu!"
In the sparse echo, Lu Qiming was stunned - listening to the meaning of this, is that Chengyuan also a Feng clan? Is it really such a coincidence?
He was uneasy in his heart, but when he thought about it, it was difficult to sort out the causal relationship based on the known clues.
"The next time I see Shaoqiu, I will definitely ask him in detail about 'Chengyuan' and his person. Lu Qiming thought silently.
While pondering, Lu Qiming suddenly noticed something wrong, suddenly raised his head, and met the sharp gaze of a middle-aged man.
The man appeared suddenly, dressed as a swordsman, but his eyes were like swords, staring at Lu Qiming coldly and silently.
