Chapter 209: Holy City
As the most bizarre, the most magnificent and the most mysterious three most places in the mainland of Kyushu, Penglai Immortal Island has always been a resort that Kyushu emperors and generals, peddlers and pawns, literati and scholars, monks and Taoists and Confucians yearn for.
There are the steepest and most dangerous towering cloud peaks in Kyushu, there are the world's closest immortal worship fairy towers, and here are the most prosperous human giant cities among the three empires - the holy city.
It is also the capital of a country, but the land area of the holy city is at least three times that of Xianyang City, the imperial city of the Western Qin Empire, and the population base is nearly ten times higher than that of Xianyang City.
Therefore, the holy city of Penglai Immortal Island has a very nice name, called the Oriental Immortal Kingdom of Kyushu.
There are not only peddlers and monks from all over Kyushu, but also breathtaking spectacles.
It is even said that in the Hundred Beast Forest located in the west of the city, there are thousands of rare birds and fairy beasts that are rare even in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ridge for people to watch.
This spectacle has undoubtedly brought a wave of even greater flow of people to the huge holy city.
Lin Ao pulled Xue Ling through the most prosperous section of the Imperial City in the Holy City, this girl was originally a lively person, and at this moment she saw a dazzling variety of preserved fruit specialties, rouge gouache jewelry, and bamboo paper gadgets displayed by various small vendors on the city road...... It's even more impossible to walk.
Especially in the street teahouse, there is also a storyteller, and the circus juggling on the streets on both sides seems to be fighting, which almost completely hooks Xue Ling's little girl's playfulness.
The two of them had just come all the way from the Rotten Ke Temple to the Holy City, the capital of the Dongzhou Empire, yesterday, and Lin Ao's purpose this time was of course to visit Xiao Qingyi, who was still said to be confined at home.
As one of the four ancient inheritance families in Kyushu, the Xiao family's status in the Holy City is even faintly above the royal family of the Dongzhou Empire, it is located in the Penglai Immortal Mountain, the highest altitude in the Holy City, and the Tibetan Sword Pavilion stands on the east and west, and the back is known as the vast and boundless Dead Sea.
It is said that Penglai Xianshan faces the sea on three sides, and only one is connected to the inland imperial city, and it is even more guarded by the Xiao family and the two overlords of the Kyushu monastic realm of the Xiao family and the Tibetan Sword Pavilion to patrol day and night, so some people can't help but "climb Penglai Xianshan is like going to the blue sky" to describe the safety factor of Penglai Xianshan that is absolutely the top of the Kyushu list.
Since Lin Ao hadn't yet thought of a plan to climb the highest peak in Kyushu, he let the active Xue Ling play here to his heart's content.
"It is said that Xiao Batian Xiao Daxia and the sword god Chu Qianeon, in the battle of Baixiantai, fought for ten days and ten nights, when the sky and the earth changed color, the sun and the moon lost their brilliance, and the two peerless masters made a move, causing the mountains to collapse, the sea water flowed backwards, and all kinds of divine beasts and immortals were panicked as if they were in the end of the world......"
Lin Ao set his eyes on the tea house not far away that said the first floor of the world, and saw an old man wearing a Taoist robe with a wisp of goat's beard on his chin, and he was quite a bit of fairy style and bones, and he was talking with great interest about the legend of Xiao Batian, the ancestor of the Xiao family, and Chu the sword god who worshiped Sendai for thousands of years.
The next kind of listener hears the highlights, or does it give a burst of cheers.
"Bad guy, why don't you leave?"
Xue Ling originally fell in love with a jade jade bracelet on a jewelry stall, held it in the palm of his hand for a long time, turned his head to look, but found that Lin Ao was a few steps behind him, stopped in front of the tea house on the first floor of the world, couldn't help but lean up, a pair of big jewel-like eyes slipped over the old storyteller of the fairy wind bones, and suddenly laughed dumbly: "I said bad guy, you don't really believe the mythical story that this old man said, right?"
Lin Ao looked at the old man with a goat beard who was talking endlessly, and said thoughtfully: "Is it really just a myth?"
After speaking, he shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be." ”
Xue Ling's eyes widened, staring at him like a monster, and said: "Bad guy, you can't be tired from this long journey, right, that Xiao Batian fell 100,000 years ago, and Chu Qiangu was the top figure in the Kyushu cultivation world more than 10,000 years ago, the two of them are not good in the same era at all, how can they fight together?"
"Hmph," she pursed her cherry lips and said angrily: "A book of "Kyushu Fengyunzhi" records some messy fabricated things, many of which have no historical traces to examine, and I don't know how many generations of students who are eager for historical facts have been harmed......"
Lin Ao turned his face to look at the round-faced girl who seemed to have a bitter hatred for the book "Chronicles of Kyushu" told by the old man with goat beard, and couldn't help but tease, and said, "What's the matter, Ling'er, isn't there someone around you who has been harmed by this ancient book?"
Xue Ling said angrily: "It's not my grandfather who is devoted to the study of ancient history, because he suddenly discovered a rumor recorded in the "Kyushu Fengyun Chronicles" about Feng Tian slaughtering a dragon on the bank of the Chilian River when he was six years old, and then my grandfather couldn't take care of his grandmother, who was already pregnant with Liujia at the time, so he traveled a long distance of tens of thousands of miles to survey the huge Chilian River that traveled through the Three Kingdoms and traveled tens of thousands of miles back and forth. ”
At the age of six, he slaughtered the dragon with a chaotic silk, how does this bridge sound so similar to the three-year-old Nezha in that world?
Of course, Lin Ao knew that the Fengtian in Xue Ling's mouth was the founder of the Heaven to One Alliance, one of the ten factions of the Five Academies of Kyushu, and this super power, who was rumored to have fallen thousands of years ago, was an anti-heaven existence who had stolen a wisp of luck from the Immortal Realm with the help of a half-immortal-level formation.
Therefore, the level of respect for it by the people of the Kyushu Continent is only comparable to the four great gods of the sword god Chu Qiangu, the demon god Gu Liufang, the demon god Chimeng Butterfly, and the beast god Dragon Sensei more than ten thousand years ago.
This kind of freak who was born to be different has repeatedly performed amazing things since he was a child, and it should not be absolutely just a virtual myth and legend.
At this moment, Lin Ao's mind flashed and said, "Ling'er, according to the records in the "Kyushu Mountains and Seas", that sword god Chu Qiangu is also from the Tibetan Sword Pavilion faction, isn't it?"
Xue Ling was stunned for a while when he heard this, feeling a little unable to keep up with Lin Ao's brain circuit, and said in a daze: "Yes, compared with the exaggerated and apocryphal "Kyushu Fengyun Chronicles", "Kyushu Mountains and Seas" is a collection of the painstaking efforts of the great sages of ancient Kyushu, and it is a work of true conscience. ”
Lin Ao didn't care about the authenticity of these two masterpieces, he patted Xue Ling's little head, and said happily: "Let's go, let's also go to perform acrobatics?"
"Performing acrobatics?"
Xue Ling was even more stunned this time, and almost couldn't help but reach out to test the temperature of his big brother's forehead to see if his head was really burned.
