Qiushui is the third largest river of the Great Zhou Dynasty, starting from Nanji Mountain, flowing through most of the imperial dynasty, Qiushui Prefecture is named after Qiushui.

The capital of the Fuliu King is called Nandu. Nandu is surrounded by the majestic and continuous Nanji Mountain, and the autumn water is like a sharp sword cutting out the road from it.

On Nanji Mountain, it is one of the most powerful forces in the entire continent, the holy place in the hearts of all scholars in the world, Daoyi Academy.

Above the autumn water, hundreds of boats compete for the stream!

A canopy boat went upstream, Zhang Yi stood on the bow of the canopy in a green coat, raising his eyes and looking into the distance, very dazed in his heart.

The dean instructed Zhang Yi to go alone to find the old man in Zhang's mansion, but he didn't tell him what the old man looked like and where he was. only said that when Zhang Yi arrived in Nandu, the old man would come to the door.

When Zhang Yi saw the appearance of Nandu from afar, his heart was swept away, and it was replaced by an impulse of excitement.

Near the southern capital, there are all kinds of luxury boats on the entire Qiushui River, and even some small boats are made of gold all over the body, which is extravagant.

Zhang Yi looked up and saw that there were countless houses in the entire southern capital, and they were in good order. Countless chariots and horses swarmed in and out from the twelve gates, like rivers.

Hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and the 12th street is like a vegetable garden. The palace was opened in nine days, and all the nations were crowned with crowns. Or Nandu Avenue is even narrow and evil, and the green cow and white horse seven-spice car can describe the grand occasion of Nandu.

Behind the southern capital is the towering Nanji Mountain, Zhang Yi looked up, as if there was a heavenly palace hidden in the clouds and mist, and he couldn't see it clearly at all, it should be Daoyi Academy.

Zhang Yi shook his head slightly, Daoyi Academy must at least be a jinshi to enter it, even if it is only a degree, once every three years, he will have two years to participate.

"This son, Nandu is about to arrive, and it should be your first time coming to Nandu. The captain who rocked the boat said with a smile, "The southern capital is not as prosperous as Tai'an City, it is not easy to live in a big place, the old man, I have been rocking the boat for decades, and I have not been able to buy a small courtyard in the north of the southern capital." ”

The Tai'an City in the mouth of the Duke of China is the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is the most majestic city in the whole world, and it is more than ten times more prosperous than the southern capital.

Zhang Yi knew that his father-in-law had never been to Tai'an City, so he just chatted with him casually and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are very good at using the four words of Dada, and you must have studied in the school for a few years when you were young." ”

The captain smiled and said a little embarrassedly: "I have studied for two years, but unfortunately the old man is not talented enough and has never been able to pass the Tongsheng examination, so he came to Qiushui to be a boatman, and he has been doing it for thirty years." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and talked with his father-in-law, and soon arrived at the East Gate Wharf of Nandu.

After getting off the boat, Zhang Yixin walked towards the southern capital, but he was unexpectedly stopped by two city guards.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, could it be that the old man ordered the guards to wait here, and was about to ask with a smile, one of the guards said: "This is the east main gate, if there is no literary position, please go to the side door." ”

Zhang Yi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly took out the document seal to prove his identity, and walked into the city quickly.

"I don't know where the old man is, but if this is the case, then I will find an inn to live in, first, I can cultivate, and second, I can wait for the old man to come and find him. Zhang Yi thought in his heart, and after making up his mind, he walked towards an inn that looked quite elegant.

Half an hour later, Zhang Yifang really understood the true truth of the sentence "It is not easy to live in the southern capital". Living in an inn similar to Tianliang City, the silver money is at least ten times more.

Zhang Yi changed more than a dozen inns before choosing a slightly elegant inn that he could afford to settle in. When registering, Zhang Yi wrote down the words "longbow feather".

The Xuanmen of Heaven and Earth was undiminished in their murderous intentions towards Zhang Yi, only wearing a green coat instead of academy clothes, and the use of pseudonyms was all the result of everyone's discussion. As for the three words Longbow Feather, it is a pseudonym used by Longbow Daru to walk the world when he was young.

According to the dean, since the old man knew the Zhang Mansion very well, if he heard this pseudonym, he would naturally come to the door.

......

The old man was never found, so Zhang Yi stayed in the room to study and practice, refining his bones.

After months of exercise, Zhang Yi has been able to control the heart fire with ease, and even the cracks in the atrium have been repaired, and they are much drier, and there are only wet marks in some corners.

To quench the bones, it takes months of burning with fire.

Zhang Yi did not blindly run all the heart fire to directly refine the bones to a large extent, but tempered inch by inch. Just like when he was refining the skin membrane, he also used his literary qi to condense his body little by little.

The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill!

On the path of cultivation, no detail can be sloppy. Zhang Yi once heard the senior brother of the academy say that martial arts cultivation is a hundred times harder than other cultivation methods, because martial arts practice is down-to-earth, step by step.

After Zhang Yi saw Leng Yuexin and other martial artists, he really knew the deep meaning. With only their physical strength, these martial artists can compete with several scholars of the same level.

Zhang Yi tempered his body so seriously, that is, he wanted to temper his body to the point where it was infinitely close to the cultivation of a martial artist.

Generally speaking, the inner fire of the top talent is no more than the thickness of chopsticks. Zhang Yiti's inner fire is much stronger than that of top talents, and even if he is seriously tempered, it will take a little more time than them.

For several days, Zhang Yi tempered his bones in the room, but with little effect, not even the bones of a finger were refined. Only one day when the inn was noisy and abnormal, Zhang Yi walked out of the door and took a look at the excitement.

It turned out that the Fuliu country mainly held a literary test to choose a son-in-law for his beloved daughter.

The country of Fuliu has an outstanding status in the hundred countries, and is known as the country of Fuliu, and many literati and scholars are happy to play in Fuliu. Over the years, many Jinshi from other countries have come to take the exam, looking forward to competing with the world's celebrities.

This craze has to start with the era of wildflowers blooming 30 years ago. Chen Dongting, Chen Dongting, Li Sansi, Zhenhai Hou Muqing, Xie Dongliu, Yang Dong and others were all in Nandu at that time, but their personal encounters were far from each other.

Princess Yuehua has not married Li Sansi for the sake of the three handsome talents, and it is one of the most interesting after-dinner conversations in the southern capital. This time, the lord of the country asked for the princess's marriage, which naturally caused the whole city to be restless.

Zhang Yi shook his head, he didn't have much interest in talking about marriage.

Another day, Zhang Yi finished reading and was preparing to refine his bones again.

The innkeeper suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Childe, today's princess's marriage is extremely lively, and the characters with heads and faces in the whole south will gather together, do you want to go and have a look?"

Xiao Er's words are sincere, this son is gentle and delicate, and he has great respect for him when he speaks on weekdays, and he will not give a reminder when he changes to other vicious guests.

And this son is so handsome, if he is lucky enough to be favored by the princess, wouldn't it be a great blessing, and it will definitely be too late to thank himself at that time.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and was about to reject Xiao Er, remembering what he said, all the characters with heads and faces would gather at the scene of the marriage essay test, and said: "Little second brother, I don't know where the essay exam is held?"

Xiao Er hurriedly replied: "Childe, when you leave the inn, the scholars on the street will show you the way." ”

"Thank you. ”

Zhang Yi thanked Xiao Er, stepped out of the door of the inn, and really saw countless scholars rushing towards Nancheng, including many gray-haired people. He smiled slightly, doesn't this princess have a standard for choosing a son-in-law, it's really interesting.

Could it be that this princess, is it the strange woman Qiu Yishui?

Zhang Yi shook his head secretly, how could a strange woman like Qiu Yishui explain the marriage matter so simply. It is rumored that the lord of the undercurrent country has seven sons and six daughters, so it must be one of the princesses.
