Chapter 41: The Covenant of the Star Tower (I)

After the turmoil in Kings Mountain overnight passed without danger, Yang Ze, who was relieved, still carried out the daily rules of behavior as usual to avoid being seen by others. He still sets foot on the second floor of the noodle shop every morning. Occasionally, I would see the young man named Song Hui here, and sometimes he would not appear, but in any case, this place seemed to have become a customary rest station in a tacit understanding between the two, and when there was free time in the morning, they would meet here for a short time to fill their stomachs and drink a cup of tea.

When he went out today, there were a lot fewer people in the shadows who were watching him. This is obviously due to the unrest of the imperial capital last night, which obviously caused many people to shift their attention to the identity of the person who dared to go straight to the top of the King's Mountain, and it must involve the restlessness of the top of the imperial capital, and obviously many people have no time to take care of him.

and Song Hui were quietly sipping tea in the private room on the second floor, Song Hui's eyebrows were deeply locked, thinking about something. And Yang Ze also recalled the long-lasting doubts in his heart, on the Shenmu Wang Ding of the Divine Wood of the Courtyard, there was actually an image of a little master, the key is that even the carvings on this spiritual weapon have been eroded for a long time, and the dark iron cannot resist time, not to mention the flesh and blood that follows the principles of nature.

Practitioners seek immortality, but the great powers of the world know that there is no such thing as true immortality. Otherwise, they don't need to erect monuments for posterity to remember.

But what did he see? Was it some kind of hallucination in the world? Or, the most reasonable explanation, was that he looked away, and the person above the Shenmu Wang Ding was just a god like the little master Qingtianhe.

"Is there anyone, or cultivator, who can survive for thousands of years without being immortal?" Facing Song Hui, Yang Ze finally couldn't help but speak.

Song Hui's thoughts were abruptly interrupted, and then he looked at Yang Ze, the dust of the capital was lightly on his face in the light and shadow, but he seemed to be impressed by his elegant temperament and trembled, and then Song Hui couldn't help but smile, that smile was like looking at a fart child who hadn't woken up and asking if there was really a goddess with big breasts and round butts in this world.

During this time, I got along with Yang Ze. The two didn't seem to have spoken much, but they seemed to have said a lot.

Song Hui had never said so many words to a stranger in his life, and even revealed his heart. But getting along with him, he seems to have a natural temperament, which makes people can't help but reveal the words that have been hidden in their hearts for a long time. Because it seems that the propositions that he has always doubted in his heart can be answered by him.

For example, "Why, whether it is a nobleman or a commoner, or those who hold the imperial power." Do you love power so much?"

"To experience life, you have to stand above life, so you have to climb high, so you have become accustomed to looking down below. In layman's terms, people can't see their own value by looking in the mirror face to face, and only by referring to others can they reflect their own value. Authorities prefer to compare with weaker people. So as to show their superior value. This is why people love power, pursue power, and aspire to become spiritual masters, because standing on a high place overlooking all living beings is a good reflection of their own value. In the final analysis, the three eternal propositions of human existence in the world are nothing more than who I am, where I come from, and where I am going. ”

Another example. "I've traveled a lot, but I'm still lost in the world in front of me. The tyrannical dynasty brought misery to the people, so it was overthrown and drowned by the people, but the new people who rose from the mud eventually formed a new tyrannical dynasty. It's always the same pattern, on top of the same mechanism. So I think this mechanism is wrong, and one day, maybe no matter the farmer, the groom. Tailor. Merchant, aristocrat. can equally share the right to speak in the country, can equally share all interests, find checks and balances from it, and divide power equally, so that the tyranny of centralized power will not appear again. I also know madness, the idea of which is almost unimaginable in the Empire. ”...,

"You're amazing enough to think of this. But what you are talking about is just an unsolvable imagination. From centralization to democracy, the so-called democracy is not another kind of centralization. Where there is rule, there must be the masses, where there are the masses, there must be servility, and those who have great influence must be able to bully the people. Just like the farmer farming, if all the votes are based on the voting system, and the votes of those who abuse power cannot pass in the small circle, then it is not another kind of oppression to expand the circle of people who are not familiar with farming, and to overwhelm the very few who hold the truth. The difference is that the authoritarian does not need to be disguised. And the democrats are more thoroughly disguised. So the system is important, but the most important thing is the hearts and minds of people, whether people are really willing to abide by this kind of democracy, not to deceive, not to be hypocritical, not to be arrogant and prejudiced, people are reserved and proud and humble to listen, so that they can see the hope of success, but unfortunately, I have never seen such a world. It's like whether you can ask the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to assign state power to the State Council, and then use the people of the empire to choose the officials who will enter the State Council. You can't do it, and you don't even dare to mention it. It's like this Immortal Heaven can't let everyone become a cultivator, and it can't let everyone grasp the power to spy on the Heavenly Dao. The sky is unkind and has always been indifferent. ”

And so on and so forth. During this time, the more Song Hui came into contact with Yang Ze, the more he felt that he was wonderful.

It's like opening another door or world. Song Hui experienced bold ideas that he had never experienced before in Yang Ze's body, but they were so whimsical!

And under the strong bombardment of this kind of information, he actually had a certain feeling of sympathy for him. He wanted to live in a demanding and high-profile position, with countless followers and admirers. Therefore, he is also isolated from this world, his thoughts cannot be communicated with ordinary people, and others cannot enter his world.

But Yang Ze in front of him is different, he is like a cool breeze on that summer night, ignoring any obstacles, he can penetrate his heart. It is like a person dancing on the opposite mountain, a person who is in the cloud mountain does not know where the cloud is deep, often tied up, confused and does not know where to go.

And looking at Yang Ze, it was like a mirror, making him feel that he didn't believe that anyone could be so thoroughly out of his own world, with many open-minded answers, dancing leisurely. It seems that he can be like him, detached from things, and his worries and troubles can be easily solved.

But now, Song Hui obviously couldn't believe that such an almost naΓ―ve question was actually asked from Yang Ze's mouth.

"No one can be immortal, and perhaps the truly immortal. It is the immortals in the stories of immortality and sanctification that are passed down by folk. ”

"yes, that's what I thought, too. ”

After laughing, Yang Ze put this specious question aside, he now somewhat believed that he had just looked away, and maybe the portrayal was just a god. Because if the arrogant guy like Little Master Qingtianhe is really a cultivator who has lived for thousands of years, then most of the powerhouses in this world who are famous and world-shattering but have not been able to reach immortality are afraid that they will have to collectively be ashamed and embarrassed.

Therefore, Yang Ze's attention for a short time was still focused on the fact that the Imperial Treasure Appreciation Conference was about to begin, and the appointment of the Star Picking Tower. It's also close at hand. So that person seems to have come to this Shengjing City.

The winter snow slowly descends on the imperial capital, and when the moon is harvested, the clouds are light and the frost is dawning. The people in the imperial capital pushed open the door, and there was a surprise that "I don't know what happened in the court, and I suspect that Lin Hua opened last night".

And in this snowy season, the prosperous Tang Dynasty and Shengjing City fell into a warm ocean. Imperial Capital Treasure Appreciation Conference. Held as scheduled.

The Treasure Appreciation Conference revealed the economic strength of the empire to a certain extent, and it was a major event. At this time, in Shengjing City, a team of gorgeous carriages rolled the thick snow of the street to both sides, and was driving to the major tasting halls. ...,

Countless imperial magnates, envoys from various countries attending the meeting, and dignitaries and dignitaries all appeared in Shengjing City with clear banners. In the next few days, Shengjing City is only afraid of dragging a wine shop casually. You will meet important ministers and princes of unknown countries.

A treasure appraisal meeting will not only provide excellent treasure-making talents for the empire, but also push these spiritual weapons in the imperial capital to the peak of prosperity.

Spiritual weapons can assist practitioners in battle, and can also equip the army, which is a treasure appreciation conference, and it is a special event to enhance national strength. The Tang Empire, which has always attached great importance to this. It is also placed in an important position alongside the Putian Academy, which selects top talents in the Cangyuan Academy!

Above the highest tiers. Those occasions where only the top spiritual treasures can be unveiled are even more a display of natural treasures from hundreds of countries. To know. On this occasion, it was an excellent time for many small countries and sect factions to exchange spirit weapon making techniques.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The level of production of spiritual weapons determines to a large extent the development level of a country's artifacts, combat weapons, and industrial technology.

It was the small countries that sent envoys to learn experience and skills, and the empire vigorously discovered the people's spiritual weapon technical talents. And some powerful countries or factions have thus displayed their own spiritual weapons in order to play the role of displaying their national strength and strength and deterring foreign enemies! Everyone is willing to show off, and even countries are no exception.

For example, the Drifting Frost Country, which came to participate in the meeting this time, brought a newly made sixth-order spirit treasure, and the [Blue Blood Washing Silver Spear] that had just been delivered to the hands of the first general of Drift Frost to blow the snow, eliminated the fifth-order spirit weapon [Wuqi Sword] that had blown the snow before, which could be called the most powerful new divine weapon in the Flowing Frost Country.

For example, the [Northland Barrier] shield displayed by the envoy of the Anhui Jin Kingdom is the self-defense artifact of Uesugi Shin, the first general of Flowing Frost. Claimed to be an impregnable barrier. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty showed an open-mindedness in the situation of a hundred countries coming to court, they were still hostile to the Anhui Jin Kingdom, which was close to the Gaowen Empire. However, when the [Northland Barrier] shield was displayed, from the surprise of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of the Anhui Jin Kingdom who were originally in the Tang Dynasty with their heads down and their grandsons had a bit of the pleasure of finally raising their eyebrows after being suppressed for a long time.

This time, there was also a [Qingyun Sword] sent by the master of the Liuyun Temple, and the various major sects on the [Tianxuan Zen Staff] continent of the Incense Valley were all willing to show their strength on this occasion.

Generally speaking, the general level of spiritual weapon production of a country or sect is two levels below the highest level of divine weapons that it can produce.

The Divine Weapon Spiritual Weapon is a spiritual weapon created by a country or sect that gathers many cultivation resources with all its might, and it belongs to the highest and most sophisticated things. Therefore, mass production is generally not possible. However, relatively speaking, if you want to equip the cultivators who are the mainstays of this country, generally speaking, you will be lowered by two levels at the level of the spiritual weapons that can be created by this country or sect. In other words, if the highest level of a country's treasure making technology is a fifth-order, then the highest level of a spiritual weapon that this country can afford to equip with the strength of a stalwart cultivator is a third-order!

Therefore, when they learned that the number one general of the Flowing Frost Country, Feng Fengxue, actually held a sixth-order spiritual weapon created by the Flowing Frost Country, many of the Sheng Tang people who were quite prejudiced against the people of the Flowing Frost Country couldn't help but be a little surprised. In this way, the spiritual weapons equipped by those intimidating backbone cultivators of the Flowing Frost Country have actually reached the fourth-order level! In this way, it can be inferred that the sixth-order spiritual weapon making technology can already make it possible to mass-produce or so two-order spiritual weapons and assemble them into the army. If the ordinary soldiers of the Flowing Frost Country all hold two-order spiritual weapons to fight, the consequences will be terrible! That means that the same ordinary soldiers, the soldiers of the Flowing Frost Country only need one twist when the blades are exchanged to screw the opponent's ordinary weapons. All it takes is a single slash to cut through the opponent's shield and armor. It is said that the Frost Country is a military country, and all the production resources of the country are used for military brutality, and it seems that the rumors are true. ..., This made the people of the Tang Dynasty actually have a little respect for hostile countries like Liushuang and Anhui Jin! And what also derived the thinking of the people of the Tang Dynasty was that in the previous war, Da Ye resisted the invasion of the Three Kingdoms with the strength of only one country?

It seems that the Great Ye Kingdom is not like the image of the border barbarian vassal country that they have always had in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty people who have always relied on the protection of the empire.

Although he is both repulsed and awe-inspiring by a character like Fengxue, he is a distinguished guest of Princess Huawan after all, and it is because he saw his car stop and walk with those handsome and handsome people into the star-picking building that represents the top upper class of the Tang Dynasty Treasure Appreciation Conference, and most of the people who watched the lively Tang Dynasty could only regretfully acquiesce to this fact.

The Star Picking Tower is the highest tower in the west of the Imperial City, as if in order to set off its status, there are four towers distributed in the east, west, north and south, respectively, "Yellow Crane Tower", "Big Wild Goose Pagoda", "Yanyang Tower" and "Tengwang Pavilion". These four towers, the height is under the Star Tower, and the Star Tower is opposite, adjacent to each other, even the people here raise a glass, the people on the opposite side of the tower can also look at each other! And among the four floors, the youngest has a history of 400 years, and it is also the place where celebrities gather in this Shengjing City.

At this time, on each floor above the four towers, there are celebrities and people from Shengjing City gathered and crowded. When people hold treasure appreciation gatherings here, they do not forget to pay attention to the movements of the Star Picking Tower.

Because today, the four towers can only play a supporting role, surrounding the higher main building, the Star Picking Tower.

Today's Star Picking Building is the protagonist of the treasure appreciation meeting!
