Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 111 Coming to the state capital city for the first time
The capital city of Qingzhou Prefecture can be regarded as the safest place in Qingzhou, because there is the sixth place in the list of masters of the five states Qingzhou Prefecture Lord, and there are 25,000 government troops stationed, and there is a large array of human ancestral temples in the city, and the demon army may not dare to appear at will.
But recently, there have been a series of incidents of demons intercepting and killing cultivators near the state capital, especially the fire sword Qiu Tingyun, who ranked eighth on the list of five states, was attacked by five demon kings, if it weren't for the two commanders of the government army station who noticed the movement and arrived at the time of crisis, this world-famous master was afraid that he would fall.
So everyone in the rivers and lakes passing through the state capital city was in danger, and the cultivators were also in groups, after all, no one would feel that they were much stronger than that Qiu Tingyun, let alone that the real situation was far from it.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, most of them are in a group, and it is rare for two people like Luo Buyi and Ning Hua to accompany each other.
Luo Buyi obviously didn't know that he hadn't been walking outside for a few days, and that such a big change had taken place outside, but he was teasing Ryoma with a blade of grass in one hand, making him snort impatiently from time to time.
And Ning Hua, who was on the back of the donkey, stared at the red paper umbrella that Luo Buyi was carrying behind him without blinking, and suddenly asked after Ryoma snorted: "I think Luo Shaoxia is a nostalgic person, and this umbrella is dilapidated to such an extent that he still carries it with him." ”
Luo Buyi heard this familiarly, thought about it carefully, and suddenly remembered that Yu Xi had asked something similar a few days ago, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I can't say the old thing, I just can't afford to throw it away, it's like a sword with a smooth hand, a piece of clothing fits well, even if you change it to a new one, you won't feel comfortable, it's always the original one." ”
"But the old things are also from the new things, and it may be more pleasant to change to the new ones. Ning Hua was wearing a white gauze hat, and he couldn't see what his expression was.
If he couldn't hear the meaning of the words, Luo Buyi could only hit Ryoma and die, but he smiled slightly and said: "It's true that the clothes are not as good as new, but the people are not as good as the old." ”
Luo Buyi thinks that he doesn't think about this Ninghua girl, whether he thinks about Qinghua or Yuxi, he can be regarded as the woman who has the most contact with him besides Hua Ning, and his appearance is needless to say, and his temperament is also different, compared with Ninghua girl, he should not lose half of it, but Luo Buyi still didn't think about it.
I don't know if Luo Buyi's answer will make Ning Hua unhappy, anyway, Ning Hua hasn't said a word since then, Luo Buyi is also quiet for the time being, but he is thinking about when he will be able to practice swordsmanship with him when he has time.
Situ Mountain is about five hundred miles away from the state capital, if it is normal times, Luo Buyi can ride a dragon horse for a day or two, but now because of Ning Hua as a companion, and he leads the donkey on foot, his foot strength naturally slows down, and it has been three days between coming and going.
Fortunately, now the city gate is faintly in sight, and it will take about half an hour to enter the capital city of Nazhou.
"Luo Shaoxia, why don't you put the three thousand swords in your body, but store them in this wooden box? It stands to reason that the three thousand swords have already recognized you as the master, so they can be stored in the body. But it was Ning Hua who seemed to be interested in the three thousand swords in Luo Buyi's sword box again, or maybe the trip was really boring and lonely, Ning Hua said.
Luo Buyi scratched his head and said: "I have heard the predecessor of the Sword Sect Master Yu Feifei say that the sword cultivation is good at the sword, and the sincerity is the sword, and he will not take it into the body when he is idle, so as not to contaminate too much of his own breath." ”
Ning Hua heard this for the first time, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Wouldn't the swordsman be contaminated with his own aura and greatly increase his spirituality?
"The girl should know that only divine soldiers of the rank of the prefecture level and above can be included in the body. Luo Buyi glanced at Ning Hua as he spoke, thinking of the white sword soldier she had shown, thinking that it must be a ground-level divine soldier, but as for the heaven-level divine soldier, he didn't think so, how could it be so coincidental, he had one, and then Ning Hua also had one, in that case, wouldn't the heaven-level divine soldier be rotten on the street?
Ning Hua nodded and said, "That's true, but what does this have to do with not taking the swordsman into the body?"
"Ground-level swordsmen are also called flying swords or fairy swords in sword cultivation, and the swordsmen of sword cultivation are generally advanced, from ordinary swordsmen to the yellow level, from the yellow level to the Xuan level, from the Xuan level to the ground level, and the first level is in line with the mind, therefore, the bond between the sword cultivation and the sword soldier is very deep, so the sword cultivation has always had the saying that the sword is in the person, and the sword destroys the person. This is certainly magnificent, but since the sword cultivator regards the sword as his life, how can he be willing to let the sword perish? Therefore, even if many sword cultivators enter the ground level and achieve the realm of land sword immortals, they are unwilling to take the sword into their bodies, one is to show that they will not forget the suffering of sword cultivation, and the other is that they are afraid that the sword soldier will be too psychic, and only recognize the master, and worry that the sword will be martyred after his body falls. Luo Buyi said unhurriedly.
"In fact, this matter is in one heart, if the master has passed away, his sword or to find a new master, or for the original owner to survive in the world, or to die for him, the sword nature is like human nature, how can it be suppressed?" Luo Buyi was also touched, and when he spoke, he remembered the many remnants of the sword tower in the sword gate that had been accumulated for two thousand years, but turned into the sword path divine light to achieve his sword body.
"And this sword box is made of the relics of the old people, good can contain spirituality, originally brought around to chat for comfort, but I don't want to really get this ancient sword, so it can be regarded as making the best use of things. ”
And the ancient sword behind him, three thousand, returned to silence after a soft groan in the box.
Luo Shaoxia really misses the old feelings. Ning Hua He had seen Luo Buyi in such a posture, and he was quite moved for a while, but he didn't mention anything related to the sword.
The official road is far away, the road is long, and there is an end in the end.
The two came from the east of the state capital city, naturally entered the east gate first, after careful calculation of the gate guard army is indeed the human race, and finally entered the outer city, a big city is coming, Luo Buyi has seen a lot of big cities, such as Fengyang City, such as Qingcheng, such as Zhao City, its weather is different, prosperous, worthy of the name of the big city, I don't know how many steps higher than the sunny and rainy city.
But when I walked to this state capital city, I knew that everything I had seen in the past was a blur, and I knew what the style of a big city was, and what was a prosperous scene. Look at the shoulder to shoulder, bustling crowds, the rows of shops, the lively and crowded, the lively and crowded restaurants, and the streets that are more than twice as wide as the official roads, and the city garrisons that patrol from time to time all tell the prosperity of the largest city in Qingzhou, which is worthy of being the place where the lord of Qingzhou is located!
Although Luo Buyi wanted to go to the state capital to find Sister Hua Ning to understand, now that he had really arrived at the place, he was at a loss, not knowing where to go, and not knowing where to start.
"Why don't we go find a place to stay first?" Luo Buyi suggested.
Ning Hua originally followed Luo Buyi, and when he saw that he had this plan, he also nodded in agreement, no matter what the purpose was, what the plan was, he had to settle down before he could say anything else.
So the two walked along the street into the city, fortunately in this state capital city is really prosperous, there are four or five inns on this street, Luo Buyi passed by a person and came forward to inquire, only to find that he wanted a room but couldn't, it was already full. Luo Buyi once heard that the inn is often full recently, perhaps because of the many people in the rivers and lakes, several inns can't even empty a room.
Thinking of this, Luo Buyi suddenly felt bad, and took Ning Hua to ask a few inns within reach, and sure enough, he had already been set out, and he took a glimpse of the whole leopard, and wanted to come to this state capital city, but all the inns and restaurants that can live in this city are like those on this street, and they can't vacate half a room, even if there are occasional omissions, I'm afraid that it is not something that people like Luo Buyi who are new to the state capital city can find.
Luo Buyi was helpless, smiled bitterly at Ning Hua and turned aimlessly into an alley.
After seven turns and eight turns.
"Why don't we find a house to live in temporarily?" Luo Buyi suggested again.
Ning Hua chuckled, nodded and signaled that it was okay, and suddenly heard a noise nearby, and looked at it, but it turned out that there was a Taoist temple at the mouth of the alley, and there was actually a queue of people in front of the Taoist temple to ask for divination.
Luo Buyi saw Ning Hua leaning out, knowing that she was a little interested, and was slightly surprised in his heart, originally in his opinion, this Ning Hua had been at odds with his family, suffered a catastrophe and ruined his appearance, and practiced such a cold swordsmanship, at least he should be a lukewarm character, but he didn't think that she would go to the Taoist temple to join in the fun, but he didn't say anything, and said casually: "I have never been divinerable, and I don't know what kind of divination algorithm it is, why don't you go and see it?"
Without waiting for Ning Hua to speak, Luo Buyi took care of himself and pulled Ryoma's ears and walked towards the Taoist temple, Ryoma didn't know if it hurt or what, grinned and snorted, which caused Ning Hua to chuckle.
The methods of divination in this world can probably be divided into ten categories, which are divination, five elements, dry branches, astrology, eight characters, physiognomy, zodiac, word measurement, signing, yellow finch and so on.
Some of them are difficult to understand, and some are known to the world.
For example, the method of astrology is to follow the saying of "forming on the ground and forming images in the sky" to find clues from the celestial phenomena, and the astrological hall is basically the universal method, supplemented by mathematics and other algorithms, and there have been no mistakes or omissions for a long time.
In front of the temple, Taoist temple, or a place where the crowd is lively, there are more signing tables and sign holders, waiting for people to ask about the future.
Before this nameless Taoist temple, it belonged to the method of asking for signs.
"Miss Ninghua, what kind of method does the blind senior follow?" Luo Buyi, who was standing at the end of the team, looked at the long line in front of him, and his heart also rose with curiosity, and he grabbed Ryoma's ear and chatted with Ning Hua beside him, but because he didn't know the name of the old blind man, he could only be called the blind senior.
Ning Hua, who came down from the back of the dragon horse, turned his head to look at Luo Buyi, and replied softly: "The blind grandfather's divination technique is unparalleled in the world, and he is no longer confined to any type of technique, and all kinds of algorithms are at his fingertips. I don't know when I remembered it, and the corners of my mouth twitched into a smile, but it was not easy to see through the white salo.
"Oh, it's really amazing!" Luo Buyi didn't actually hear what Ning Hua said, he only felt that Ning Hua's slightly hoarse voice was so pleasant, the more he listened, the better it sounded, and the more he listened, the more familiar it became, and for some reason it was connected with the voice of Hua Ning in memory.
The person who presided over the unsigning must be a Taoist real person with a high level of Taoism, because the queue for the sign of the divination was very fast, and the person who drew the lot was often convinced to get the explanation, and there were few doubters.
It didn't take long for Luo Buyi and Ning Hua's turn to do so.
"You first!"
"You first!"
The two of them spoke at the same time.
"Luo Shaoxia, please first!"
"Miss Ninghua, please first!"
But for some reason, when it came to this lot, the two humbled each other, and the dispute for a long time did not come to fruition.
"You two together!"
