Chapter 64: The Eunuch Pavilion of Arc City
Half an hour later, the girl and I arrived at Arc Nao City. This is an ancient city with a long history and a bumpy fate, as the seat of the state capital, it has experienced countless leaps and bounds, because the pace of crossing is too large, often accidentally pulling eggs, and thus has won a lot of aftertaste aliases.
Originally, the designers wanted to make it the most magnificent and magnificent city in the world, so they drew hundreds of miles of large and small towns and villages into it, so that the arc city was like a dangerous puffer fish, and it swelled more than ten times in a blink of an eye, known as the "boundless city"; With the continuous increase of population and houses, the city is becoming more and more crowded, and there are often events such as cars and horses being blocked and trampled by crowds, and the designers have to re-plan, demolish and renovate, and after some tossing, the arc city has become scattered and bruised, and the designers call it "the unruly city"; and then the "thousand cities and beautiful cities" that swept all the states of the world In the most beautiful city appraisal activity, the arc city has built hundreds of super-large squares and forest parks, all kinds of strange flowers and plants, rare birds, spirit animals, antiquities and treasures are continuously transported from Tiannan, Haibei and Beibei, turning this place into a "dream city" that the designers are proud of; The wonders of "all sigh that the people here are simple and pure, and the people are full of trust between people, and they praise the arc city as worthy of being called the "innocent city"; later, a heavy rain that fell for several days turned the arc city into an ocean, and the drowning people were numerous, and the designers were anxious to dredge the river channel and transform the drainage system, while racking their brains to find a new positioning for the arc city: "the city of drifting".
The girl had lived in the drunken smoke workshop in Arc Nao City, and she didn't have a good impression of this city, so she didn't want to go in. I'm afraid that the people here don't know that the army of Zhixu led by the Fire Control Demon Lord has circled behind them, and I think I should go in and warn them. It's useless to tell the officers and soldiers guarding the city about this, they are so drunk that they can't even tell how many people I and the girl are.
Shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun, the city is as demure as a virgin, showing the charm of the ancient capital, and it is as arrogant as a fairy, without losing the prestige of state governance. In contrast to the depressed appearance outside the city, there was not the slightest sign of famine in the city, nor did it feel the slightest feeling of being in a state of war. Although there are many checkpoints on the post roads, you can smell the fragrance of wine and meat on the upper floors of the city; although the suburbs are barren and grassy, you can see the flowers in the manor; although the streets and alleys are empty and lonely, you can listen to the warblers singing in the wine shop. Walking in the city, I couldn't help but feel that my worries were too unnecessary, it seemed that the people here were either full of confidence in the defenders' ability to resist the enemy, or they had already seen through the red dust and put life and death out of the way.
"Solid and square, flat shoulders and back, arms like a drum. Two inches of leisure, the end face ......" a sonorous and powerful password broke the quiet atmosphere.
Looking to the right following the sound, there is a building that looks like a school, with two doors half-open, and a horizontal plaque with the words "Temple People School" is hung on the door. In the courtyard stood five or six rows of men dressed in various costumes, one by one bowing their heads, their eyebrows lowered, like a wooden stake under the scorching sun, if it were not for sweating through their clothes, they would not be a group of living creatures at all. A middle-aged gentleman with a ruler in his hand shouted a command as he walked back and forth through the queue, like a sharp and cold sewing needle, poking the man's shoulder and tapping the man's forehead. The person who was ordered was like being stung by a bee, his body trembled, his face instantly turned red to the base of his neck, and his posture became more and more deferential.
"What is this place?" I asked the girl.
"Eunuch training camp," the girl pointed to both sides of the door, "just look at the school motto." I saw sixteen big characters engraved on the wall:
Like a human but not a human, like a dog is better than a dog, with thick skin and hard life, and a disabled person.
There are also several large flags waving in the wind on the wall, embroidered with catchy and inspiring slogans:
"Ten years of hard study, from the palace to a knife glory. ”
"Castration comes to wealth, and there is nothing to do without roots. ”
......
When the beauty group came to Qingxuguan as a guest, I also heard Han Gonggong, who led the team, say that the imperial court has a special inner study hall to train the eunuchs in the palace, but I didn't know that there were such eunuch training institutions among the people. The girl said that this is because the eunuch industry is too popular, in order to improve competitiveness, those who want to be eunuchs will choose to go to the "Temple People Academy" to participate in intensive training after purifying, and then go to the palace with a graduation certificate to apply for eunuchs, and the recruitment rate can be much higher. For the high-achieving students who graduated from the famous brand "Temple People Academy", the examiners have to change their faces, after all, it will not be easy to say who is pressing whom in the officialdom in the future. There are more than a dozen such training institutions in Guangarc City, and the fees are not low, and only accept students who have been clean, which is the above regulation, and it is also to ensure the purity of the student team.
As early as thousands of years ago, the founding emperor of the Chaos Kingdom had a unique insight to discover the superiority of the eunuch species in the officialdom, thinking that these rootless and light people had no desires, no desires and no concerns, so they would be more selfless and dedicated than ordinary people, so they entrusted the eunuchs with important tasks, selected concubines to set up heirs, and worshiped the heavens, repaired history, and built mausoleums...... Every emperor from the croaking to the ground to the dragon control of Bintian in the whole process of all the major events are entrusted to the eunuchs to be responsible, even when the war does not forget to give them the opportunity to perform meritorious service, on the marshal to add a "duke" role, with the army to go on the expedition, won the battle is the Tai Supervisor war, lost the marshal is not effective in command. Not only that, but every institution in the imperial court also has the position of "supervising the seal", which is held by the emperor's most trusted eunuch, and any matter that needs to be reported to the emperor must be stamped with a seal at the "supervising seal envoy" before the fold can be handed over. In order to show that the status is more important than that of the first-class officials, the official rank of the "supervising seal envoy" was rated as a "special product", and at once compared those officials who had studied hard for many years and then squeezed their heads to get in. This is the main reason why the competition in the eunuch industry is more fierce than the scientific examination, but there is nothing to be unconvinced by the scholars, after all, even if the conu can't get the fame in their lifetime, or they don't get the official rank they like, it's a big deal to end up with a talent that they don't meet, and they can also use the seclusion to get a good reputation, and those who are castrated If they can't be eunuchs, they will really "lose their wives and whips".
After listening to the girl's introduction, I understood the mood of these would-be eunuchs in front of me who were training so hard, and then looked into the courtyard, only to see a wooden model of a human foot placed on the ground in front of each of them, which seemed to be a new training subject.
The middle-aged gentleman with a ring ruler in his hand strode to the right front of the queue and commanded in a loud voice: "Look to the right! Look forward! Take a break! Stand upright! Kneel! Lick!"
Hundreds of "desireless, desireless" dreamers completed a series of standard movements in unison, lying on the ground with brushes, facing the wooden feet, sticking out their tongues, kissing, licking and sucking with relish...... I was fascinated and panted.
Seeing them fighting so hard, I felt deep sympathy: "It's so pitiful. ”
"Save it, there are more people who envy eunuchs than you envy you. The girl grabbed me disapprerovingly and continued on her way.
After about six or seven blocks, a huge plaza appeared in front of me. In the center of the arena was a huge ring hundreds of feet square and more than one person high, surrounded by red silk and fluttering flags. There are many stalls around the stage, and the sound of selling is endless.
"Take a look, take a look, a high-fidelity puppet mask, wear it invulnerable, put it at home to ward off evil spirits, go out to travel and be a night pot, super large capacity, green environmental protection, recyclable, absolutely worth the price!" >
