Chapter 205: To Huiji City, Visit the Martial Arts Academy (4k)
In the dawn of dawn, Zhao Qing and his party saw a huge city from afar, occupying almost all of the field of vision in front of them.
The gray-yellow city wall of Huiji City is forty or fifty zhang high, like a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, blocking in front.
According to Shen Ge Wuhan, ordinary people have no ability to build a giant city like this with a scale of hundreds of miles, and all of them can only be built by mobilizing the masters of the Six Qi Realm, coupled with the convenience of the terrain.
In front of the long and thick walls is a wide moat.
The "moat" in the Spring and Autumn Period, its defensive function was not large, mainly for the use of residents in the city, and played the role of some waterway transportation.
Among them, the water conservancy transportation of Wu and Vietnam is particularly developed, and it is "where the water travels and the mountains, the boat is the car, and the horse is the horse; If the wind blows, it is difficult to follow".
Huiji City is also known as "Shanyin Big City", the circumference is more than 2,000 miles, although it is not as good as more than 4,000 miles of Gusu City, the largest city today, but it can also be ranked among the capitals of various countries, and it secretly coincides with the stars of the Purple Palace in the sky and the trend of Kunlun Mountain, and there is an earth-shattering array.
When Fan Li built this city, he also commented on Gou Jian: "Chengtianmen system city, confluence in the back soil, Yue Xiang has been set up, Kunlun is out." ”
It is located in the north of Huiji Mountain, on the plain of the mountain, and there are seven mountains in the city, such as Strange Mountain, Qi Mountain, Huozhu, Baolang, Momei, Pengshan, White Horse, etc., plus the Fushan Mountain located in the small city of Jujian, forming the majestic momentum of "hiding in the eight mountains".
It is "negative Wolong Mountain Crest, face Qin Wang, with Jianhu Lake, jade frame Tianzhu, all peaks around the left and right", it can be said to be the benefit of mountains and rivers without the worry of drought and flood, can attack and defend and the foundation can be based.
Huiji City is so big, and even in the city there are two cities with a scale of tens of miles, named Fan Licheng, Wenchong City, respectively in the west and north of the inner city "Goujian City", forming a "product" character shape, showing the trend of arch guard.
There is a gap in the northwest side of the city wall, which is specially set aside to show the submission of the Yue State to the Wu State.
In addition, several old capitals of the Yue Kingdom, together with several large palaces around it, are in the Shanhui area in the north of Huiji Mountain, forming the core urban agglomeration of the Yue Kingdom with a radius of thousands of miles.
……
Considering that Rui Xi's body was not suitable for flying at too high speed, it took a small half an hour for Ge Wuhan and his group to arrive at this magnificent capital of the Yue Kingdom.
Due to the large array that suppressed the Dao magic power running in Huiji City, Shen Ge Wuhan was not ready to resist the power of the formation, so he took everyone and landed outside the gate of Nancheng in advance.
At the gate of the city, which is like a bronze hill, eight bare-shouldered wrestlers wearing chest armor and more than nine feet tall stand on both sides, each of them with a well-proportioned body posture and strong momentum, all of them are good hands at the level of chemical strength.
Shen Ge Wuhan showed a delicate jade plaque from a distance, and the city defender saw it from afar, and immediately pulled the hinge that controlled the closing of the city gate. At least hundreds of thousands of pounds of bronze giant doors slowly opened, and there was a long grinding sound.
"Don't underestimate these soldiers who defend the city, in fact, they are all regarded as the special physique of 'innate divine power', and their strength is far beyond ordinary strength, and they are the disciples of the 'Gu Sect'."
When the group passed through the thirty-zhang long city cave, Ge Wuhan couldn't help but chatter: "Ah Qing, do you want to contact the affairs of our Broken Jade Camp earlier?" ”
"Don't worry, let me wander around Huiji City for a few days, and then talk about it." Zhao Qing thought for a while and slowly replied.
Along the way, Shen Ge Wuhan gave a detailed account of the situation of the two battalions of the Vietnamese country.
The Jiange Camp and the Broken Jade Camp are roughly equivalent to the secret guard institutions of the Yue State, corresponding to the Hongshang Sword Guard and the Gusu Taiwei of the Wu State, but they are different.
The Hongshang Sword Guard was led by Wu Zixu and was mainly aimed at foreign countries; Gusu Taiwei directly belonged to King Wu himself, mainly aimed at the country. The connection between the two is not close, and even after Bo Yao concurrently served as the deputy commander of the Gusu Taiwei, there were many conflicts.
Among the two battalions of the Yue Kingdom, the Jiange Battalion is more like a special army, with a per capita cultivation of Gangjin and above, similar to the Hongshang Sword Guard, carrying out the orders of the King of Yue and the important people of the Broken Jade Battalion.
Known as the sharpest sword in the Yue Kingdom, the Broken Jade Battalion, which means "cutting gold and breaking jade", is known as the sharpest sword in the Yue Kingdom, and its members are all the best of the best, and they need to have the ability to adapt to the situation in order to carry out dangerous tasks on their own.
Due to the general confidentiality of the identity of its members, they can be named in the Jiange Battalion, and when performing larger tasks, they can mobilize the nearby Jiange Camp as a support, and their status is faintly half higher.
The general and deputy commanders of the Jiange camp are respectively the pedestrian doctor Yong and the little Sima Yuyong; The chief and deputy commanders of the Broken Jade Camp are all ridiculous and cold.
In addition, Ge Wuhan also explained to Zhao Qing the reason why she was dressed as a man. The reason is very simple, do not reveal your true appearance, so that at critical moments, you can confuse and mislead the enemy, and at the same time, you can also leave your own private space outside of work.
In Shen Ge Wuhan's view, as a new disciple of Zhu Ji, Zhao Qing must be an important member of the Broken Jade Camp in the future, just like Jiang Chengyu, who was a guest in the Chu State, and Zhong Wuboyan, who was an undercover agent in the Wu State.
Moreover, considering her Yue nationality background, she is more reliable than the other two disciples.
"That's right." Hearing Zhao Qing's reply, Shen Ge Wuhan felt a little regretful, and then invited:
"Ah Qing, you and your mother and the white ape, you might as well live next to me. The area around Yuwangzong Temple is quite empty, even if you want to live in a few halls, you can do it. ”
……
Yuwang Zongmiao in Huiji City, located between the south gate of Goujian small city and the south gate of the big city, there are thirty or forty miles away from the city gate, occupying five or six miles of the place, which is equivalent to a vast palace group.
In addition to the three giant halls on the central axis, on the square square with four pavilions on each side, there is also a stone statue of Dayu that is more than 30 zhang high, majestic and majestic, lifelike.
A large hazy shadow was cast on the left side, which was quite eye-catching, and Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel emotional.
In the area of the Jongmyo Temple, on the east and west sides of the central palace complex, there are some large gardens of different styles, which are the residences of the sacrificial shamans and several concubines and concubines sent by Goujian to serve the ancestors.
On the other side of the line, there is the place where the soldiers who guard the temple are stationed, and the official office that manages the sacrificial supplies; At the outermost point, a wall with a height of 20 zhang and a circumference of more than 10 miles encloses the entire temple to prevent idle people from entering.
Due to the warm invitation of Shen Ge Wuhan, Zhao Qing said goodbye to Zheng Dan and Duanmu Shuliang for a while, and lived near the courtyard where the other party was, in an exquisite pavilion located by the lake.
After simply modifying the layout in the pavilion, Zhao Qing climbed to the top floor six or seven zhang high, and looked from afar, only to see the criss-crossing pavilions, hidden trees, and corridors connected together, self-contained.
To be honest, being able to live in such a beautiful place was indeed a bit beyond her expectations.
From another point of view, the strict protection here makes Ruixi in an extremely safe and comfortable environment, which eliminates Zhao Qing's worries.
After completing the daily routine of healing, Zhao Qing and the ape, who was barely pretending to be a teenager, walked out of the east gate of the Zongmiao area, ready to take a stroll in Huiji City.
Shen Ge Wuhan wanted to discuss things with her nephew, Qin Yin, the third person in Shenwu Mountain, and she had no time to spare, so she sent an attendant named "Chang Ji" to help guide the way.
More than 20 days ago, Zhu Ji said that he wanted Zhao Qing to find a stable place to practice martial arts by herself, and recommended the Huiji Martial Arts Academy and the Jian Ge Camp to her, saying that they had reserved a place for her.
Zhao Qing thought about it for a while, and felt that Huiji City was so big, instead of wandering around boringly, it was better to go to the Huiji Martial Arts Academy to have a look.
The so-called "Martial Academy" was established during the period of King Yunchang of Yue, following the "official school" promoted by the Zhou Dynasty. However, unlike the official school that teaches the "Six Arts of Gentlemen", the "Martial Academy" takes "martial arts" as the main body, and what it learns and practices is all related to the practice of martial arts.
In the period of Goujian, he increased the resources invested in the "Martial Academy" and added a series of elective contents to it, including the understanding of various Chinese languages, sect forces, martial arts intelligence, etc., to cultivate all-round talents who serve the country.
Huiji Martial Academy, as the head of the Yue Kingdom Martial Academy, far surpasses other Dayi martial arts institutes in terms of specifications, although it is not as good as Yuwang Zongmiao in terms of floor area, but it is not much worse.
If you want to join it, get the guidance of the master in the martial arts academy, and the special resources provided by the inside, and flip through the precious martial arts collection, it is naturally not so simple.
The students who can enter the martial arts academy either have a prominent family behind them, or they are amazingly talented, and they are mainly through recommendation.
If the elders have made great contributions to the country, as long as the qualifications are not too bad, they also have the opportunity to break into the ranks.
Of course, this is not a problem for Zhao Qing.
In the recent period, she has seen the peerless skills of several Gang Jin masters, and she understands that the strength system of the main world is quite amazing in terms of power, and it is not under the true qi internal force that she is currently majoring in.
If you can cultivate a few superior strength methods, you can also improve a lot of your strength, and even touch the bypass, and increase your understanding of martial arts. In the end, it reached the point where both true qi and strength went hand in hand, and together they broke through to the six qi realm.
"Three years ago, I was rejected here because of my qualifications." Chang Ji was a dark and thin young man in his twenties, and he led Zhao Qing and Ape Gong to the west gate of the Martial Academy, and couldn't help but sigh.
Three years later, he was already a peripheral disciple of Shenwu Mountain, with a sorcery cultivation close to the "witch", that is, the yang jin level, but compared with the vast majority of students in the martial arts academy, there was still a long gap in terms of status and cultivation prospects.
The witchcraft of Shenwu Mountain is a kind of alchemy, but it is relatively unique, and it can be transferred from the strength system to dissipate the strength to turn it into "witch power".
"Oh......" Zhao Qing didn't know what to say, there were countless people with ordinary qualifications like this in Huiji City and even in the entire Yue Kingdom, maybe it was not a good thing to accidentally succeed in joining the Huiji Martial Academy.
After all, it should not be uncommon for a genius from an ordinary background to be forced to join the forces of the aristocracy and lose his self-esteem in this era. What's more, Chang Ji is not a genius.
……
In front of the gate of the martial arts academy, the identity was checked by two old men of the Gangjin level, one was a pure martial artist, and the other was a wizard, corresponding to the two realms of strength and qi refining.
"Three guests, do you want to enter the door, do you have identity credentials?" The wizard turned a piece of tortoise shell in his hand, his gaze lingered on the ape for a moment, and then asked in a deep voice.
In the Yue Kingdom, the sorcerers set blessings, doctors, and divination, and the number is extremely large, not only from the Shenwu Mountain.
About 2,000 miles away from Huiji City, there is a place where wizards from all over the world gather together, forming a "witch li", which is more than 100 miles in size.
Unlike the Central Plains, where yarrow was mainly used for divination, the sorcerers of Yuedi retained the ancient tradition, and most of them still used tortoise shells to perform witchcraft.
Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he showed the inscription on the Cao Zi sword to the old wizard, shook it slightly, and then took it back.
"Miao Cao Zijian fifth? Come in! Come in! Seeing the inscription on the divine weapon, the old wizard couldn't help but be surprised, although he didn't know who the original owner of this divine weapon was, but it must be a big man he couldn't provoke, at least he also had a deep background at the doctor's level.
Such a person, even if he is not a student of this college, is qualified to bring his entourage into the tour.
……
Passing through the gate of the martial arts temple and a boulevard behind it, you will see a vast square.
The square is a mile away, and there is not a single figure in it; There are more than ten halls around the high and low, and there is a faint noise in them, but under Zhao Qingyungong's listening, it is a model lake.
Could it be that a magic circle was set up to prevent eavesdropping? Zhao Qing's mind moved slightly, and he ran briskly towards one of the main halls, wanting to find out.
"This hall should be the Divine Weapon Hall in the Huiji Martial Academy."
It seems that he had learned about the information in the martial arts academy in advance, and Chang Ji opened his mouth to introduce: "It is said that in the hall of this Divine Weapon Palace, there is an extremely powerful divine weapon, which is the only sub-sword of the Pure Jun Sword, and its power is earth-shattering, and it is even enough to compete with the powerhouses of the Middle Six Qi Dacheng. ”
The only pure Junzi sword?
Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart, among the current divine weapons in the Yue Kingdom, in addition to the main swords such as Chunjun, Juque, and Hao Cao, if there was no Zhan Luzi sword left, this divine weapon should be regarded as the strongest.
Like the twenty-four sub-swords separated by Hao Cao, it is estimated that together, they may not be able to match this pure Junzi sword.
Thinking of Chunjun, she immediately thought of Ou Yezi, recalled the scene of his sword casting at that time, and thought of the Zhanlu Sword that was ranked even higher than Chunjun.
In other words, the Zhan Lu sword fell into the hands of the king of Chu, was it really a good thing that the divine soldiers spontaneously chose the master, left Wu to join Chu, or did the secret guard of the Chu State do a good thing?
In Zhao Qing's opinion, although King Chu Zhao's ability is much stronger than his father King Chu Ping, he can be regarded as a virtuous king, but it is still too bizarre to let Zhan Lujian take the initiative to choose the master and appear next to the pillow when he wakes up.
Just as she was thinking casually, she walked to the door of the main hall and looked into the half-open hall door, when the door of another hall on the side suddenly opened.
A middle-aged man dressed as a scribe rushed out of the door and said to himself excitedly: "The news has finally come, the king of Chu has been seriously ill for a long time, and he is really sick!" ”
Is the King of Chu dead? Zhao Qing was slightly shocked in his heart, King Chu Zhao is dead, and his son Chu Prince Zhang, that is, Gou Jian's grandson, should soon ascend the throne.
I don't know what kind of impact this major event will have on all countries.
