Chapter 10 The Imperial Capital: Licheng
From the border city all the way to the south, the border city became farther and farther away from people's sight, and became more and more faint, until it was out of sight and became another world.
The place where humans live is so big,
From south to north, spanning tens of thousands of miles.
The great rivers and mountains, the water towns of Zeguo, and countless magical and beautiful places have naturally given birth to countless strange people and people, and they have cultivated Tianjiao.
Some people have lived alone on the banks of the big river for ten years, and once they have attained enlightenment, their sword qi is like a big river, and they don't know how many thousands of miles they can cross.
Some people live in seclusion in the deep mountains and valleys, watching the sun rise and the moon set, watching the trajectory of the starry sea, and from then on, the world is reasonable.
Human civilization is blooming like fireworks on this continent.
All the way to the south,
Crossing the great river,
Over the mountains and rivers.
There is a mountain name glass,
There is a city name,
Lishan is a group of mountains,
Licheng is the imperial capital.
No one knows what is behind Lishan, there is a legend that it is a fairyland, and there is a legend that it is a bright world.
Some people also say that after passing through Lishan, it is a place of exile.
Again, no one knows why Licheng is called Licheng.
Glass is parting, and the king is leaving, because this is the emperor's city.
To leave is to part, to separate.
So the word is ominous.
But the imperial capital is called Licheng.
When Su Yan entered Licheng, it was already twilight, and the street was still full of traffic, and some shops hung lanterns early, with the names of their shops written on them, illuminating passers-by and advertising their shops by the way.
The third day of June
suitable
Seek medical treatment, bathe, get married
All is well
No contraindications
On this day, Su Yan entered Licheng.
Su Yan didn't go to hang out and enjoy the night view of this famous mainland city,
Although it is indeed beautiful.
He found an inn to stay in early on, and he ate some dinner in the room by the way.
After calling the child to bring hot water, I took a bath in the big wooden barrel in the room, and I have to say that it is very comfortable to take a beautiful hot bath after a long journey.
The Su family is rich, but Su Yan is not a luxurious person, but he is not a person who deliberately wrongs himself.
Extravagance and waste are losers, and it is fools not to spend money.
Su Yan is not an ascetic, nor is he a monk with morning bells and dusk drums, nor can he be pure in heart and have few desires.
The teacher who sat in the elegant carriage could not teach the disciples of the wooden cane and Jingyi, so Su Yan's white clothes were always clean, and his hair was always meticulously cared for, not rich, but elegant enough.
I read the book carefully under the lamp and thought about something. The hustle and bustle outside the window faded away, and in a moment it was curfew time.
Curfews have always existed in Licheng, and people have long been used to them. Unlike Wenshui, which is a land of wealth, it is a city that never sleeps.
There is always something different about the imperial capital.
The man living in the palace is the most powerful person in the whole world, and it is not too strange to have some strange ideas.
The streets were completely silent, and only the watchman was left to report in a long tone, occasionally saying: The weather is dry, be careful of the fire and candles.
There is also the sound of footsteps on patrol of the Royal Foresters.
The behemoth of Licheng turned from daytime and the hustle and bustle of the first night to silence for a moment.
Not even the out-of-the-world people in the city have broken the silence,
This is unusual,
But for a long time, it will seem to be taken for granted.
Unusual for granted.
got up and pushed open the window, and Su Yan's figure was as fast as a wisp of light smoke floating onto the roof of the inn.
Maybe it's in the relationship with Licheng, thinking that he might be able to find a solution to the problem here, and his state is not too bad in the past two days.
There is no rain tonight, no wind, the moon is bright, the stars are bright.
Not suitable for night walking, Su Yan is not going to be a thief,
Sitting cross-legged on the roof, adjusting the folds of his clothes, Su Yan began to meditate.
Countless stars flickered in the deep blue night sky, and the stars seemed to be unrelated to each other, but seemed to be connected.
Since the birth of human beings in this land, countless predecessors and sages have looked up at the starry sky, thinking about the relationship between the sea of stars and the continent, the relationship between the sea of stars and human beings, and have also tried to explore the world above the sea of stars.
Countless attempts will naturally bring some gains.
Some people look at the stars and become enlightened.
Some people use star marks as a picture and set up a formation.
Take the stars as a sign to predict good and bad fortunes, and take the stars as a guide to determine the direction.
In all these areas, in those known and unknown realms, the vast and mysterious sea of stars is inextricably linked with human beings.
A ray of starlight enters the body, like a clear spring, like a rain, passes through the snow-capped mountains, crosses the sea of qi, and finally escapes from the spring under the soles of the feet, without injecting into the snow-capped mountains and sinking into the sea of qi.
Su Yan washed his body with Xinghui, and every time he washed it, his body became cleaner.
For more than ten years, Su Yan has been doing the same thing every night, and with long-term persistence, the changes are also obvious, not to mention the flesh and blood of the meridians, the bones in the body alone are also crystal clear, and the surface is filled with a faint light like starlight.
There are three kinds of cultivation, one is to use consciousness to manifest the qi of the sea and snow mountains to attract the vitality of heaven and earth, and borrow the law of the Great Dao.
One is physical cultivation, forging the human body, hiding the vitality of heaven and earth, refining to the extreme, it is said that it can accept the law in the body, and theoretically can even form a world of its own, but this is amazing.
In today's emphasis on Taoism and nature, nature is regarded as a misguided way by people and classified as an evil way, such as the Ming Sect in the past.
Life is a sea of suffering, and you can be a treasure raft. The concept of Mingzong is naturally contrary to the Taoism that people pay attention to, so it is regarded as a demon sect.
It's not really the demonic werewolf-like demons outside the Red Gate.
The Demon Sect was imposed on the Ming Sect by the people, and they are not demons themselves.
Of course, it is also because of those alien races, such as the werewolves outside the gate, the cultivation method is to enhance the strength of the physical body.
I don't know if Su Yan led Xinghui into the body, whether it is an evil way, no one knows, and naturally no one judges, but the teacher knows but does not stop it, which means that he doesn't care.
The night breeze is light, and the moon is gradually westing.
The croaking of frogs in the fields outside the city has become scarce.
Su Yan opened his eyes, and his bones seemed to be more crystalline.
At this time, it was the quietest time of the night, and even the sound of the watch was quieter, lest it wake up the sleeping people.
Suddenly, the willow branches next to the house danced lightly towards the west, and under the fading starlight, a misty black shadow passed over the roof next to it.
Su Yan was slightly surprised, the air in the night in front of the black shadow fluctuated slightly, followed by another figure appeared in front of the black shadow, and there was no movement, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed the black shadow in his hand.
After catching the black shadow in his hand, he didn't resist on his shoulder, he carried it like this, as if carrying a pocket, and the figure walked towards Su Yan, and there was no sound of the wind, nor the sound of tiles.
When I got closer, it turned out that the figure that appeared behind me was a young man with a broad belt, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and the clothes on his body were neatly dressed and clean, and there was no dust and a trace of wrinkles under the starlight.
The black shadow he was carrying turned out to be a young man dressed in black, who was also handsome, and was staring at Su Yan with a look of chagrin at this time, as if he was surprised that Su Yan's appearance made him catch by the young man in Tsing Yi.
Eguanbo led the young man in front of Su Yan, and he didn't speak, his face was serious, and he saluted Su Yan seriously. The young man in black seemed to be embarrassed, and lowered his face.
Su Yan hurriedly replied, and was about to speak, when the air fluttered slightly, and the young man had disappeared into the night.
Seeing that the young man did not seem to have malicious intent, there was no fear on the face of the young man in black, but it looked like a student who had been caught skipping class by a stern teacher.
Su Yan didn't bother with it, got up and went back to the room.
I have to get up early tomorrow morning to meet the first rays of morning light, the starlight washing body for an hour every night, and the washing body of the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Su Yan has been doing this for ten years.
After returning to the room, the divine sense entered the body and observed the snow mountain qi sea, the mountains and seas are still not big or small, and the sea water is still not much or less, Su Yan is a little satisfied, this time has been very stable.
Then he went to sleep.
When the steaming heat came out of the pot on the stove of the stall selling breakfast on the street, and the first bowl of wontons was lowered into the hot pot, Su Yan had already finished his morning exercise and returned to the room to wash up.
Still dressed in white, walking on the street that looks particularly clean after being cleaned,
So the whole street looks brighter.
Su Yan was the third guest, and the owner of the wonton stall had already sold two bowls first.
The thin wonton skin is so transparent in the soup that you can see the bowl body, and more than a dozen well-proportioned green onions and a pinch of shrimp are sprinkled on it.
At that time,
It smells good and it tastes good,
The people of the imperial capital are very particular.
When Su Yan was eating wontons in front of the wonton stall, the black-clothed young man who was arrested by the young man in Tsing Yi last night was sitting at the desk in the house looking at the book in his hand.
The title of the book is Zhisang, which is an agricultural book about planting mulberry and raising silkworms.
Since he was arrested last night, he has been reading books and seeing now, it seems that no one cares whether his body eats or can't eat, and he is in good spirits after not sleeping all night, but he is a little tired of reading.
But I have to see that if I am discovered, I am afraid that I will have to do my homework again today, and I am afraid that I will not even have time to eat lunch at that time, and the young man in black will be a little hateful.
It's all to blame on the man in white on the roof last night, if he hadn't looked at him and delayed a little, where would the senior brother have caught himself, maybe he would have caught a hare outside the city and roasted and eaten.
The roast is golden brown, the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
No one doubted the black-clad boy's craft at making food, just as no one doubted that he was a foodie.
Sometimes he even wonders if the reason why he can't run away is because the food he makes is so delicious that they think of him so closely.
Those who read books have to sleep, and those who read books are already in despair.
It's just that the young man in black never forgets what he reads, he doesn't want to read it, but he remembers it.
kook
The young man in black is a strange man, and the young man in Tsing Yi who captured him back is also a strange person.
Senior brother, second senior brother, third senior sister, fourth senior brother, fifth senior sister, which one of the senior brothers and sisters is not a weirdo?
There's not a single person in this yard who isn't a weirdo,
The young man in black thought like this, he himself was actually a person from this courtyard.
