The greatness of Yong'an City lies in its strength, the history of the construction of the city itself, and the culture of all parties in the city.

When Bai Jiu first saw Yong'an, all he could feel was the former's strength.

The child's exclamation was still in Bai Jiu's ears, he looked at the abrupt city wall in front of him, that kind of height seemed to have no end, covering half of the sky, covering the warm autumn sun, looking intently, faintly visible, there were traces of historical seals on each of the city bricks.

The left and right sides stretch all the way, as if there is no end. This huge city occupies a radius of many miles, and after thousands of years of wind and rain, it stands majestically in the world.

The Kyoto of Dayu was the Kyoto of the Tang Dynasty earlier. The capital of the two dynasties has not fallen for thousands of years. Some of its contemporaries have long since turned into the dust of history, and the better ones have become ruins.

The first Xiongcheng in Zhongzhou, or the first in the world, each of which can represent its ability.

Bai Jiu took a closer look at such a Xiongcheng, and thought, sure enough, it is the first in the world!

The city wall is very thick, but also wide, in four directions, south, east, west, and northwest, and there are sixteen doorways from the inside to the outside. But even so, the people who come in and out every day are always crowded, not to mention that in the past few days, students from all over the world have gathered in Yong'an, and the city gate is no longer able to enter.

There are several small tea shops on both sides of the pipe, and the slanting sun shines through the green trees and leaves, sprinkling the afterimage of the road.

Bai Jiu walked into a house casually, holding a bowl of white tea, and quietly watched the pedestrians coming and going on the pipeline.

The lady who sold the tea asked enthusiastically, "Is it a student who came to participate in the Wenju?" ”

Bai Jiu smiled and nodded.

may be a natural love for readers, and after the eldest lady saw it, she added some tea leaves to Bai Jiu's teapot.

"Where did it come from? Which college are the students? ”

Bai Jiu put down the tea bowl and said, "Xiliang has been studying at home since I was a child, and I haven't been to any academy. ”

The lady who sold the tea showed a look of surprise, "Xiliang? Alone? ”

Bai Jiu didn't hide it, and nodded again.

After hearing this, the eldest lady hurriedly sat opposite Bai Jiu, moved the beggars sitting on both sides of the official road with her eyes, and reminded: "Young man, you should pay attention when you are alone, there are many people in Yong'an City, don't be deceived by those appearances." ”

Bai Jiu was a little puzzled.

The eldest lady explained in a low voice: "Those people are beggars during the day, and they become rich when they change their clothes at night. ”

.........

.........

A man and a woman turned into the official road from the distant woods, and the young man wore a high crown on his head and hung white jade from his waist, more like a noble man walking here than a passer-by on the street. The age of the woman is difficult to distinguish, and at first glance she looks like a girl, with delicate skin and a pointed chin. At first glance, it looks like a thirty-year-old style, cinnabar eyes, and a bewitching posture. The two walked on the official road, which attracted a lot of attention for a while.

The woman's face was cold, her eyes did not squint, she just walked forward quietly, and finally couldn't resist the eyes of passers-by, and complained slightly: "Wang Nanting, don't you walk into the city in a carriage?" Let the elders in the city know about it like this, and you can't be scolded? ”

The young man said with a smile: "It is necessary to swagger through the market in order to achieve the purpose of this trip." What's more, with an elder like you, still afraid of being scolded by the elders in the city? ”

The woman restrained her bewitching figure a little, made herself look more girlish, and said a little angrily: "This is the case with seniority, but we are both the same age." Before entering the city, the elders in the family had explained, if they could be low-key, they would be low-key, and when the time came, they would really be scolded, and I would not protect you. ”

The young man naturally knew what the elders in the family said, but he didn't want to do it, and since he came, he was above board. The people in the family finally survived the first few years, since they are the four major families, why should they be so cautious.

So he said calmly: "Little lady, we don't take the exam, and we don't compete. Since you are just here to visit relatives and friends, you are not afraid of others seeing it. What is the meaning of brocade night walking? My royal family has been walking for so long at night for the imperial court, and it is time to see the sun. ”

The woman didn't nod, but she didn't shake her head, but said: "If you are so willful, you will be scolded, and the elders in the family will definitely be very angry when they hear about it." ”

The young man shook his head, still walked slowly, and said, "Believe it or not, there is a scolding. But I will never get angry, and I will even feel in my heart that I am doing the right thing. ”

The woman pursed her lips, but did not speak. His nephew was known for his intelligence in the family since he was a child, and now he has taken over some of the family's business in his early years. This time, the two of them came to Yong'an City together, which was the meaning of the elders in the family, and they wanted him to bury a "line" for his family in Yong'an City.

Success or not, it's an attempt.

Wang Nanting's eyes swept around, and as far as his eyes could see, he happened to meet a young man dressed in white. The simple touch of his gaze did not linger too long, and even he could not remember the appearance of the young man.

"Entering Beijing to catch the exam, taking the imperial examination, delusional carp jumping over the dragon gate. In fact, it was just from the country lake to the royal fishpond. In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Whether it's a swallow in front of the court or a bluebird outside the court, it's time to give an answer. ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the majestic city wall of Yong'an, smiling at the corners of his mouth, and raising his sword eyebrows lightly, showing his handsomeness and grace.

"Yong'an City, my Wang family, is here."

.......

Except for those dignitaries who have a special approval from Yong'an Mansion to enter the city, anyone who enters the city must wait in line and be inspected.

Waiting is boring, especially if it's like this.

A dwarf tree with sparse branches and foliage fell on the side of the official road, and its short trunk and sparse branches and leaves could not block a whole piece of sunlight, so that even the shops selling tea did not sit.

There was a barefoot boy sitting under a tree, and the people were quiet. He was dressed in tattered and gray faces, and his feet were covered in mud, like a beggar fleeing.

He was not a beggar, because he did not beg or speak.

Bai Jiu took out a few taels of silver from his arms, and before he put it in front of the young man, he attracted the onlookers of several beggars around him, and his expression was very dissatisfied.

The young man opened his eyes, glanced at the broken silver in Bai Jiu's hand, and said, "I'm not short of money." ”

Bai Jiu said: "But you don't look easy. ”

The boy said: "How can it be so easy. ”

Bai Jiu asked, "Wuju?" ”

The young man asked rhetorically, "Wenju? ”

Bai didn't speak for a long time, and the young man closed his eyes again and stopped talking.

Students from all over the world gathered in Yong'an to meet the hard work.

……

The gate of Yong'an City is long and dark, and the far end looks like a glowing circle. The red sun was faintly visible, and the red light was slanted down, but it didn't take long for it to be swallowed up by the noise and darkness.

Bai Jiu knew that the original name of Yong'an City was Chang'an, and he changed his name by the way when he changed the dynasty.

Bai Jiu also knew that there was a very interesting and domineering reasoning in the books.

The wealth of the world lies in Zhongzhou, the wealth of Zhongzhou lies in Dayu, and the wealth of Dayu lies in Yong'an.

Yong'an City is a gathering place of wealth in the world.

He suddenly remembered that when he said this to his second brother, what the second brother revealed was always disdainful. The richest family in the world is the Chen family, if it weren't for Yong'an City being the imperial capital of the dynasty, a group of second-rate businessmen, how could they dare to call the wealth of the world?

Perhaps because of this, the people of Yong'an City are very proud, and this pride is like the culture they have passed down for thousands of years. And they are very personable, and this demeanor is tolerant of outsiders and disdain for the wicked.

People say that Yong'an City is a gentleman's city, a city's righteousness, and a city's open-mindedness. Some people also say that Yong'an City is a city of sin, and none of the dignitaries and nobles have blood on their hands.

……

Bai Jiu took out a note from his arms, this was something he had prepared from Chen's house, and a few lines were written on it, it was the four most famous colleges in Yong'an City.

Tianxuan Courtyard, Qingfeng Courtyard, Yew Annex, Baihua Lane, four colleges, standing in the four directions of Yong'an City, collectively known as Tianqi Four Courtyards.

Once the red sun rises, it is still in harmony with the sky.

Over the years, everything in the world has changed, but only the practice has not changed. There is a lot of knowledge in this world, and a hundred schools of thought are contending for one side, so it is natural to have a standard to distinguish which is strong and which is weak.

To a large extent, Wenju and Wuju are the opportunity given by the imperial court to the children of ordinary people to carp jump the dragon gate, there are no geographical restrictions, there are no strict requirements, no matter which state and county you are from in Dayu, or even not a person from Dayu, you can participate. And for practitioners, there is also a similar competition.

Tianfu and five continents, young geniuses gather in one place, compete with each other for fame, so exciting, not lively.

This is the case with the Chaoyang ratio in the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Emperor disappeared from the world, the Tang Dynasty lost its deer, and the heroes competed for decades, and the Chaoyang ratio ceased to exist.

Now that the new dynasty Dayu sits on half of the rivers and mountains in Central Continent, it has also become the most capable and authoritative host today.

In this way, there is the hidden dragon test.

How many small fish swim in the blue water, a battle to seek fish and dragon change, the world sees the dragon gate again, and the purple gold and white phosphorus compete for each other.

..........

Three years of Wenju, five years of martial arts, and the Qianlong Test is in the second year when these two meet.

For decades, half of the world's strongest people have come from the Hidden Dragon Test, and even the few young people on the mainland today who are known as the most promising have also had the experience of participating in the Hidden Dragon Test. As we all know: four of the seven people in Dayu Wenwu, the two sons of Beizhou Snow Plain, and those few carefree people in Dongzhou, each of them is a big thing today.

Of course, that was many years ago, and now people are concerned about who will participate in next year's Hidden Dragon Test.

The Sword Sect has been closed for sixteen years, so will it be opened this time? If Ximen comes here at night, what about the heavens of Daomen? Who is the leader of the new generation of the Snow Mountain Sect? Will the disciples of the Buddhist Sect in Xizhou still come to Yong'an City? Will Miss Qiao from Luoxue House go out of the building early? In addition to these, the people of Yong'an City are most concerned about whether there will be a dazzling genius in the Tianqi Fourth Courtyard.

Bai Jiu didn't think about it so much, before setting off from the Chen family, Old Lady Chen said that if you really want to choose, Qingfeng Courtyard is the best choice. Because there are many scholars and few cultivators, it is more like a academy.

But before that, he has a few things to do.

……

The citizens of Yong'an City are arrogant, but they are also elegant. The streets are full of young people walking with swords, and the green shirt and long sword look like a young swordsman who is not dusty. However, if there was a juggler on the street, he would run over to watch and applaud.

The women's costumes are varied, and they look more novel than Xifengcheng, with light makeup, heavy makeup, pure makeup, and charming. Now it is more than half of autumn, and the weather is slightly cold, but there are still women who are dressed very refreshingly, and the white and tender piece on the chest is very eye-catching.

There were many people on the streets, and the barbarians were heroically bare their chest muscles, eating meat and drinking wine. The people of Beiyan, who had white marks on their clothes, stopped and watched in this bright place, and couldn't hide their inner excitement. The conversation of the Liyang merchants, the gathering and shouting of the Dongzhou gang, and the sound of bamboo coming from the courtyard of the house.

The wealth and romance of the world seem to gather here, and this is Yong'an. History & Culture, Modernity & Strength. The contrast between the noise and the sound of the bamboo flute, the sharpness of the sword and the gentle echo of the beauty.

Bai Jiu shuttled through the crowd with his bags on his back, feeling dazzled, and stopped from time to time to watch. It's just that his shabby white shirt and mud-stained cloth shoes are out of place in this prosperous place.

There were many inns in the city, but there were also a lot of people these days, and he searched for a long time to find a suitable one.

In the middle of the night, the young man leaned against the window, looking at the starry sky in a daze. He was cooperating with the Chang'an City he saw in his head with what he wrote in the book.

The watchman passed downstairs, and the sound of the gong woke up the young man's dream. He looked at Yong'an at night, with a bookish spirit in his chest and a bright light in his eyes.

Time is like an arrow like a meteor, and I entered Beijing to take the exam to seek fame.

It's been a long time since I've thought of it.
