Chapter 17 Huaiyin
The scorching sun loomed in the sky, and the wind was fierce, blowing the clouds in the sky like the waves of the sea.
A troop of military vehicles was self-sufficient and could run in parallel lanes with four vehicles, slowly driving towards the city gate not far ahead.
Passing through this city gate, inside is Huaiyin, the political and economic center of Huaishang Jingguo.
It was the afternoon of the third day after the wedding of the gentleman of Luri.
Wang Yue's own convoy had already called Shiguang and Snake Da to return to Linchuan.
Returning with them was the warrior of Jing who was overwhelmed and gave up for Jing Envoy.
Yang Youzheng has no place to go for the time being, and he feels that he will be notorious in the future, and everyone in the world will look down on him, and no one will give him a chance to get ahead.
In this way, they returned to Linchuan, but Wang Yue came to this Huaiyin City with the priest of Zhongqu.
The priest of Zhongqu, because of his proposal to change the name of the Huai Lord to the river lord, was favored by Huai Bo, and his magic power was able to climb a level, which also means that he can obtain a higher status in the Huai Bo Temple, and this trip is to return to Huaiyin to report on the ministry.
Wang Yue is because of the temple collection he promised, Huai Bo has existed in Huaishang for a long time, it is said that when this place is still a barbarian land, it is the river god here, and it is thousands of years old alone.
The gods who have existed for such a long time, and the various secret art books collected in their temples have a great attraction to Wang Yue.
The convoy entered the city without any accidents, and Wang Yue also looked at the first capital city he had seen in this world.
This is one of the largest cities in this world.
Outside there is a stone masonry to build up to seven zhang of the city wall, the city wall surrounded, it is said that only its inner city is bigger than the city of Luli, the city is huge, the population is also luxuriant, after entering the city, Wang Yue saw any street, even in the afternoon, is full of traffic, the river is endless.
Because there is a river tens of feet wide that passes through the city, many boats can enter through the city's water gate. Hundreds of large boats and many more small boats roamed the river, bringing a different kind of difference to the city.
This river is Huaishui, or the part of Huaishui.
The Lishui River in the north of Jingguo meets Huaishui a few miles north of Huaiyin, when it passes through the capital of Jingguo to the southeast. A slight fork in the stream passed through the city and then reintegrated into the Huai Shui.
The builders of the city in the past skillfully used this point, so that the merchant ships of the entire Huaishang countries could go down from the water. Or the Huaishui River went upriver to Huaiyin City, and such developed water transportation conditions greatly prospered the commerce of Jingguo.
At the same time, they also used this water to create a wide and deep moat in the inner and outer cities of the national capital, making this city the most famous fortified city in Huaishang, and it is said that since the day the city was built, the city has not been breached by foreign enemies.
"Snake Yu Gongzi, in addition to the inner city, Jingdu City is divided into four urban districts, southeast, northwest and northwest, and its eastern urban area is the land of Huaibo Temple. ”
Enter the city. The priest of Zhongqu introduced to Wang Yue, speaking of this, his face was extremely glorious, it was obvious that the temple could be in the national capital, and the entire Dongcheng District was encircled as his own, which fully explained the status of the temple in Jingguo.
Wang Yue smiled: "The temple is in Huaishang, it is indeed at its peak, and my son is even more interested in the various secret methods and secret techniques collected by the temple." It's a pity that I can only watch it for one hour, otherwise it would have been a wonderful thing. ”
The priest of Zhongqu said with a smile: "Today is just an hour, and in the future, Gongzi and my temple will have closer cooperation, and Gongzi will not only read books for an hour." Even if it's a day, two days, or a month, you can read all the books. ”
He asked with interest: "Childe hasn't told me about the next cooperation yet?"
Wang Yue said lightly: "It's better to read the book first, and after reading the book, the priest will know when the time comes." ”
As he was talking, Wang Yue suddenly saw four or five boats in the river not far away, which were very different from ordinary boats.
These ships are much larger than ordinary ships, and their hulls have a deep draft. There was a faint image of a sea ship, but it was too small compared to Wang Yue's memory, even an extremely old sea ship.
To his surprise, at the bow of the big ship headed by him, stood a woman wearing a fanged demon mask and dressed in a gorgeous warrior suit.
This woman is dressed as a woman, but there is almost no half of the feminine femininity on her body, and she shows a heroic spirit that is rare even for men, she stands on the bow of the boat with one hand on the sword, and in a pair of moving eyes, the divine light comes out of the mask, and there is a meaning of looking at everything.
At a glance, Wang Yue knew that she was extraordinary, just from the perspective of her momentum, her personal strength was probably the only one he had seen in this world.
"Priest Zhongqu, you have lived in Huaishang for a long time, do you know where the fleet is, and who is the woman who pressed the sword on the ship?"
The priest of Zhongqu glanced at it and said: "Huaishui flows out of the east, the easternest of the five countries, and can merge into the East China Sea. ”
"The ships that Childe is talking about should be the ships of the East China Sea Kingdom. ”
"As for that woman, judging by her appearance and temperament, she looks like Ao Li, a female son-in-law of the Ao family, the lord of the Middle East Sea. ”
"East China Sea Country?" This island country, Wang Yue heard of it for the first time, it seems that it is not a feudal country, but a maritime country.
He became interested and asked, "I wonder if the priest can introduce me to me?"
"Snake Yu Gongzi, in addition to the foreign countries of the world, Rongdi barbarians also have their own countries, but the East China Sea country, as one of the four sea countries, is very different from the barbarian country, and its ancestral origin can be traced back to ancient times. ”
At that time, the ancestors of the Four Great Seas also lived in the land of the sea, and they were also the co-masters recognized by thousands of tribes in the world at that time, and the dragon gods sacrificed by their tribes were the source masters of the world's common sacrifices. ”
After a pause, the priest of Zhongqu continued: "But the world is changing, and then there is the Holy Emperor who came to establish Dayu in the Central Plains, and after a thousand years, there is an elephant on behalf of the Son of Heaven to set up an elephant, and then there is a Son of Heaven to cut down an elephant. ”
"Thousands of years between the rise and fall, the dragon god from the source of the main altar falls, the people of the four seas also gradually moved from the sea to overseas, the East China Sea is one of the most powerful one, although its country is not big, only a thousand times, but the sea strength is quite strong, in the southeast coast of the world, the influence is great. ”
"I see. Listening to the sacrifice of the Dragon God, the source master, declined with the rise and fall of the dynasty, so that he fell from the heavenly god throne to the altar, Wang Yue was thoughtful.
The priest of Zhongqu saw that he was quite interested in this, and said: "Because of the passage of time, these things are gradually unknown, but there are still some records in my temple, and Gongzi went to look at the collection of books, when he could see it, but the ancient characters are somewhat different from today, and it may be quite difficult to read." ”
As he spoke, the convoy turned into Dongcheng District, where it stopped in front of the temple shortly after.
The warriors and warriors of the temple rested temporarily around on the spot, Wang Yue began to enter the temple accompanied by the priest of Zhongqu, and looked at the temple along the way, and saw that the Huaibo temple was built quite distinctively, covering a large area and not to mention, the whole was built on the water.
When he was young, he worked in the construction industry, and he knew something about it, and he knew how the temple was built at a glance.
The construction of this temple is to excavate a huge foundation pit in the city, and then support hundreds of huge wooden pillars of the **** underground rock layer at the bottom of the foundation pit, and then build a huge scale on the wooden pillars, with wood as the main body of the hanging pavilion, which is the main body of the temple seen in front of you, and finally leads the living water that runs through the water system in the city, so that the original foundation pit turns into the water surface of the lake, so that it is an achievement.
The amount of work required to complete the temple is enormous even in modern times, and the design and layout are exquisite, which can be said to have reached the limit of the level of technology and materials available in this world, and the effect of such a creation is that people will feel extraordinary at first sight, and even rise in awe of it.
One of the most subtle is to lead the Huai Shui over, so that the temple and the temple worship the master of the Huai Bo power into a whole, the temple priest is in it, can exert the power of Huai Bo to the limit.
"I don't know if it's from the hand of a master in the world?" Wang Yue thought secretly.
"Or the master of the Huaibo Temple itself, its heritage is really extraordinary. ”
"Childe, you and take a break in the VIP guest house here, I will go to arrange for Childe first, and then lead Childe to the collection of books, if there is something here, just greet them. ”
The priest of Zhongqu placed Wang Yue in the VIP guest house on the east side of the temple, and greeted the low-level young priest in the guest house who had not yet been given the surname of Huai Bo: "This is the son of Snake Yu, but he is a distinguished guest of my temple, you must not slack off, you know?"
"Only, Lord Zhongqu. The two of them, who were still teenagers, hurriedly bowed their heads, respectfully, for fear of neglect.
"What is the middle song, this is going to be the song soon. ”
The priest of Zhongqu snorted coldly, said unceremoniously, and gave Wang Yue a slight salute, retreated slightly, and went out.
Then, Wang Yue waited in the VIP guest house.
The two young priests began to get busy, looking at tea and serving snacks, and then waited on the sidelines, waiting for orders.
Wang Yue sensed them casually, thinking that they were wearing clothes similar to priests, and they were also Huaibo priests, but they didn't seem to have Huaibo's power, just a trace of breath, and recalled what he saw when he came in before, and there didn't seem to be many priests with real strength in the Huaibo Temple, and the backbone of the temple was dominated by temple warriors who didn't consume Huaibo's divine power.
If you think about it carefully, the power of the Huaibo priests is not practiced by themselves, but they have a certain psychic quality, and they can inherit the power of Huaibo according to their physical perception to varying degrees, and they use the power of Huaibo.
No matter how vast Huaibo's power is, it is not endless, and the priests who can support it are naturally limited.
"Ah, there's already someone in this guest house, and you're a guest of Zhongqu Leyan?"
"Lord Huaili, please come here. ”
"There's a priest of Laoshangqu. Waiting in the VIP guest house, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, Wang Yue followed the sound to look out of the door, the owner of the voice was actually an acquaintance, accompanied by a Huai Bo priest passing by his guest house.
It was Cai Envoy Huai Liji, who had a wedding banquet in Luli the day before yesterday, what was he doing at the Huaibo Temple? And a priest with a higher status than the previous Zhongqu Leyan priest was so enthusiastically accompanied? )
