Chapter 2 The Ancient City of Nanzhao
Two months later, Nie Rendi took a boat and entered the Erhai Sea at the border of Nanzhao City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Erhai Lake is divided into three islands, four continents, five lakes and nine curves, with a radius of 3,000 miles, like a bend of elixir, lying quietly between Diancang Mountain and the ancient city.
Erhai Lake is not a sea, it is a lake, the lake water is crystal clear, extremely transparent, like a flawless jade placed among the mountains.
Legend has it that there is a huge jade cabbage at the bottom of the lake, and this blue water is a drop of jade liquid gushing from the heart of the cabbage.
The ship traveled for another two hours, and with a shout of "docking", about 20 people were ready to disembark.
Nie Rendi lit a cigarette, followed out of the cabin, threw off the broken hair in front of his forehead, a pair of eyes were very energetic, only to see a huge wharf, thousands of ships of different sizes, lined up along the Erhai Lake, one by one cloud sails glowing with each other, tens of thousands of people on the dock, pick-up, sightseeing, labor, the scene is spectacular.
Nearly a thousand zhang away from the shore of the lake, a green city is pulled up from the ground, "Nanzhao" two vigorous light gold ancient characters, reflecting the slanting sun, standing on the head of the city faintly shining.
The ancient city of Nanzhao is the largest city in Southwest County, and is led by the Diancang faction. The Diancang Guard patrols every day at twelve o'clock, and fighting is forbidden in the city, unless they voluntarily go to the public ring to compete, otherwise, once found and tried, they will be fined, expelled, exiled, sentenced, and even executed.
With everyone in line to pay three pieces of silver, Nie Rendi entered the city. On both sides of the street, there are stalls everywhere, full of all kinds of items, food, clothing, use, weapons, protective gear, pills, and many things that have never been seen before, probably related to cultivation.
He had no weapons to use, only the self-defense dagger he had captured at home, and his heart was on fire when he saw these knives, spears, swords, hammers, whips, sticks, halberds, spears, etc. Just touched the purse, frowned again, and said in his heart: "Forget it first, wait until you find a place to settle down, eat, and then ask the location of some cang." ”
After collecting his mind, he immediately looked for an inn, but after looking at more than a dozen in a row, it was a little difficult to enter.
This one by one, all magnificent, the welcome little guy is also dressed high-end, peek a few glances, the guests in the inside, even more embarrassing, each brightly dressed, decently behaved, either full of heroism, or rich and compelling.
He gasped, carefully pinched the silver at his waist, and walked away from the secluded alley.
Before leaving home, he stole half of Daddy's savings, but he didn't want to, it was only enough to pay for the journey here, and now even if he wants to go back, he can only walk and crawl.
Helplessly, the ancient city of Nanzhao is too big, too new, and too luxurious for him. After walking for a while, I finally came across a suitable alley, there were three or two simple inns, and after careful selection, I found the cheapest, one penny and one night to stay.
In the evening, after eating the braised bait, I asked Xiao Er: "Shopkeeper, where is the location of Diancang Academy?
Xiao Er smiled, bowed down and said: "It turned out to be a practitioner, disrespectful, disrespectful! Hehe, Diancang Academy is outside the east gate, more than thirty miles away, and the young man will know when he asks at the east gate." ”
Tianyun Six Counties are still martial, and the martial artist has a transcendent status, Xiao Er thought to himself, this may also be an excellent young man recruited by Diancang, so naturally he does not dare to slack off.
"Young Hero" Nie Rendi was called like this for the first time, he smiled secretly in his heart, thanked him, and walked out.
The ancient city of Nanzhao has a population of more than 3 million, and at night, the city is lit up and prosperous. On the road and on the street, pedestrians are bustling, teahouses, restaurants, gambling halls, theaters, snacks, and markets.
Yantang Town has a population of only 30,000 or 20,000, and there is no decent market, let alone a place for rest and entertainment. And because of the high altitude, harsh climate and environment, hard life, and long people, there are no handsome men and beautiful women on the streets, up and down.
Nie people and enemies walked, from the alley to the road, along the road gradually prosperous, and two quarters of an hour, not to prevent coming to the Honglongjing before and after, but feel dazzled, only to see the evening light, the street that the east of a cluster, the west of a cluster of handsome men and women, all young and golden, the spring breeze proud, it is a good season of life, every waist is tied with treasures, gorgeously dressed, leading horses, or the air is lofty, heroic, or white and beautiful, warblers and swallows, one-to-one, three or five in groups.
There are many teenagers in it who are interested in sending geese to pass on books, and there are also a few pairs of beautiful eyes and affectionate, a few hearts secretly promised, and the autumn waves and spring are chaotic.
Nie Rendi couldn't help but look at it three or five more times, and then looked back at his body, and saw the coarse linen clothes and faded leather boots, so he had to light a cigarette, slowly leaned to the side of the street, tightened his back with the rag baggage, stood up strongly, and strode over.
I walked for another moment, but for some reason, I had no mind at all, and when I saw that it was getting late, I was thinking about going back to the inn.
Take a closer look, and find that it will be lost, and every road and trail is very similar and unrecognizable.
When I got back to my room, I closed the door, exhaled, sat down and poured a glass of water, thinking, "What a fool, fortunately no one knows." ”
After a short rest, Nie Rendi practiced the outer door exercises, the so-called outer door, that is, there is no entry, it is not good, it is not good, it is not into the stream.
Many civilians have no potential to cultivate martial arts, and they can't gather qi and are good at martial arts, so they have an outer door exercise, but there is no doubt that this can only strengthen the body and slightly improve the fighting skills, which is not helpful to the realm and longevity.
It is cultivated as a red sand hand, after the strength, the hands become bright red, the strength is greatly increased, with the power of life and death, it can hurt people invisibly, and the wound will appear bright red handprints after a few days.
He started cultivating at the age of seven and has been attained for seven years.
In the past seven years, it has been insisted on, there are few gaps, and it has not been renovated, and it has reached the peak of refining, and it has been vigorous, and a pair of hands are too red, and the blood is vigorous.
Ordinary people practice the outer door exercises, and they are far from being able to fight against the qi gathering martial artists, which is the limitation of the outer door exercises. Once a martial artist successfully gathers qi, his attack power and defense power will soar greatly, with few exceptions like him.
After practicing the red sand hand, Nie Rendi took up the iron cloth shirt and the three cai steps in turn.
He likes simplicity since he was a child, and does not like to learn miscellaneous, except for the red sand hand, he has only learned the iron cloth shirt, the iron tin tablet, and the three talent steps.
Iron cloth shirt, Wangwen Shengyi is "wearing iron clothes", accustomed to the highest level, the body is like steel can resist any external attack by ordinary people, used for technical attacks, can protect the body and close the acupoints, and the magic is endless.
Of course, this is limited to the competition and competition of martial artists from outside the door, and if you meet a congenital martial artist, someone stretches out a finger, and it is enough for an iron cloth shirt to eat a pot.
He has been invading adultery for six years, and he has practiced to the peak realm, and his flesh and bones are as straight as steel and iron bones.
The three cai steps, according to legend, are the ancient gods, from the innate gossip, divided into heaven, earth, and human three talents. It's a pity that the second talent of heaven and earth has long been lost, and now there is only the talent part, which can be regarded as the top existence in the outer door exercises.
As for the iron tin stele, it refers to the method of carrying heavy clay tiles, clothes, shoes, steles, etc., and practicing light exercises with weight, which can be described as the most stupid and light-body exercises in history.
In the first year, he practiced with heavy clay tiles, and after two years, he took off the heavy clay tiles and put on heavy clay clothes, and after three years, he did not take off the heavy clay tiles, tied up the heavy clay tiles, carried an iron tin stele, and then put on double clay shoes. Even if it's in a shower, take it off and tie it up as soon as you're done. Until the fifth year, he was able to throw the iron tin tablet, and he walked like a fly.
After that, due to financial means, I couldn't find heavier items, so I had to give up for the time being. And the heavy earth equipment and iron tin monument have long been returned to the public school.
Nie Rendi has always liked simplicity and believes that simplicity is beauty.
Practice the red sand hand to increase the attack power, practice the iron cloth shirt to enhance the defense, practice the iron tin tablet, and the three steps to improve the movement and reaction speed of the body, and then often challenge the division commander to improve the actual combat ability.
After practicing, it was already the middle of the night, he lit a cigarette and smoked, walked to the window, looked at the sky, only to see that there was no starlight in the distance, it was dark, and the lights dissipated early.
