"Shangcheng" is a term that has been around for some years, generally referring to people from the countryside going to the city, which is not common in modern society, but in the world of nations to which Fuyang College belongs, going to the city is a regular activity for students. And in this world, the city is not just an act, because there is a "city" here.

"Wow, there's really a city? It's like what you see in the movies. Meng Lin was very excited, "Different from the style of the academy, this city wall is completely ancient. ”

Yu Feng knocked on the city wall, "This is not a movie prop, it is a real stone brick rammed earth city wall." ”

It is true that it is not obvious in the school, and when I enter the city, I find that it is like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and everything makes people feel as if they have returned to 2,500 years ago.

"If I didn't know it was another world, I would have thought I had crossed over. ”

"By the way, do you think you will meet any historical figures on the street, sages like Confucius and Mencius, as well as great talents like Guan Zhong and Le Yi?"

"There are a lot of lessons you need to make up, this problem has been talked about in class a long time ago, but it is really complicated, let Sister Menglin explain it to you. Meng Lin cleared her throat, "The first thing you need to know is that real historical figures do not exist in this world, how can we meet the ancients if we don't travel through?" But the names of the ancients have been preserved in this world and given to different people, that is to say, there is indeed the existence of Confucius and Mencius, but it is not the historical Confucius and Mencius but other people. ”

"It's much clearer when you say that. ”

"This is not finished, the names of these so-called historical figures are not called by anyone, whether they are famous families or princes and generals, all names must follow a book called "Xuanyan Book", which specifies in detail which country and what kind of children should be named why, the most interesting thing is that these people who are named historical figures are indeed very similar to people in history, whether they are characters or skills, which is why we have to learn so much historical knowledge. ”

"Then in the "Xuanyan Book", does it say that there are any big names in our Fuyang Academy?"

"There isn't one, our academy is so small, so small that it doesn't even have the Xuanyan Volume. ”

"So that's the case, so only the names of the characters in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty era appear?"

"Yes, but I've heard people say that there seem to be other worlds in other eras. ”

"That's ......"

"What's more interesting, this is the biggest difference between our world and history in terms of characters, the "Xuanyan Book" only says what kind of children to name, but not according to the relationship between the characters in history, do you understand what I mean?"

"Could it be that Confucius would be Mencius's grandfather?" Yu Feng guessed.

"It's not so confusing, the family name is still certain, but the relationship between the characters in this family is different from history, for example, Confucius and Zisi are grandchildren in history, here they may be brothers of the same clan, or vice versa. ”

"It's messy enough. ”

"I think that's good, the four people you just said belong to different eras in history, but it's not very interesting that we could meet these wise men and minds at the same time?"

"Look!" Xiaoxue suddenly pointed to the right.

When I turned my head, I found a long and narrow street, which was made of brick and stone mixed with mud, and the arrangement was very exquisite, lined with small shops on both sides, and various guises and signboards were intertwined, full of antiquity.

There are wine shops and tea houses, classic pawnshops, north and south groceries, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and the people in the store are also clean, whether it is a guy or a customer, the face is full of leisure.

"You're students at the academy, aren't you?" said a guy from a cookware shop to the trio.

"Yes, hello. Yufeng didn't know what to say, just popped out a "Hello".

"You're welcome, it looks like you're a freshman. ”

"yes, how do you know?"

"Because you're not wearing college clothes, you see. The man pointed to the scattered pedestrians on the road, "All the students of the academy will come to the city in college clothes." ”

The three of them looked in the direction pointed by the guy, and sure enough, they found several people wearing clothes or skirts of the same style and color.

"Is that our school uniform?" Meng Lin thought that the style was quite good, but the skirt was a little shorter.

"School uniforms? Nobody called that. ”

"Do students have to wear their uniforms to the city?"

"Naturally it is not necessary, but everyone will wear it voluntarily, in this country, the students of Fuyang Academy are the only force to protect the people in the city, and they are also the only force to ensure that Fuyang Country is not annexed by other countries. You are the protectors of our peaceful and easy life, so the students of Fuyang Academy are heroes here, and they will all wear college clothes with pride. The man's words were full of sincerity.

"Hero...... I understand that we will always try to defend this kingdom. ”

"It's up to you!"

The man shook his hands and said goodbye to the three of them.

"It's a shame to be treated like a hero without making any contributions, but it's a great feeling. ”

"We have a heavy burden on us, defending the whole country as ordinary high school students. ”

"Hey, you two, we're out shopping today, don't always talk about such heavy topics. Monlin glanced around the shops.

"Yes, that's right, we're here to relax. ”

"I don't feel like I'm relaxed......"

"Xiaoxue, pay attention to the atmosphere......"

"Armor...... This is an armor shop! Come and visit it. "Yu Feng is still very interested in swords and guns, and the swords and shields he has been given are indeed too ordinary.

"It's strange, ninety percent of the students in Fuyang Academy are girls, how can they be such shops......" Meng Lin was a little disappointed, thinking that she would buy some new clothes, at least she should taste some Fuyang special snacks, but there was no one.

"This iron sword has a very sharp feeling, and this shield, it looks very strong. ”

"The three of them are freshmen of the academy, right? The vision is very good, this shield is the treasure of the town store of this store, made of fine iron, and it is the best grade that my eldest brother brought from Wu Di. The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile and took off his shield and handed it to the wind.

"So light?" Windbreaker took it and realized that the shield weighed much less than it seemed, and if it weren't for the metallic sheen, he would have thought it was made of hard plastic.

"Yes, this is the best quality, light and strong. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try. ”

"Shopkeeper, are you sure this is okay?" Yu Feng held his shield, and Xiao Xue on the other side held a steel sword.

"Foolproof, please. ”

Under the heavy slash of the steel sword, the shield was intact, and not even a single mark was missing.

"Sure enough, it's a good shield! Shopkeeper, how much is your shield worth?"

"Don't hide three of you, a thousand knives. ”

Yu Feng couldn't help but gasp, a thousand dollars! The school's monthly living expenses are ten dollars, and a thousand dollars will not be able to save until graduation......

Fu Yangguo does not have its own coins, they often circulate the Qi knife of the Qi State, the Lu Bei of the Lu State and the incantation money of the Chu State, because the Qi State has a far-reaching influence in Shandong, so the value of the Qi knife is the highest among many currencies, this thousand knives is by no means a small amount, enough to build seven or eight wooden houses.

"Shopkeeper, this is too expensive. ”

"Actually, the eldest brother bought this shield with a thousand knives, and I repaid it at the real price. ”

"I see, if the shopkeeper can keep this shield and not sell it, I will definitely be able to scrape together a thousand dollars. ”

"To tell you the truth, this shield has been in the store for more than five years, and no one has cared about it so far, and if the young man wants to, I will keep it for you. ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. ”
