Chapter Twenty-Three: Bay City
On the carriage, Ji Cheng looked at the three teenagers who were sitting in the carriage with him, and in his memory, he still had a slight impression of these three people.
"Ji Yun?"
On the far left, the chubby-looking young man is about the same age as Ji Cheng, called Ji Yun, and he is second only to Ji Cheng in the thirteen styles of fast knife practice, but he is far from reaching the realm of two swords in one.
"Ji Lin, Ji Long?"
Ji Cheng looked at the other two teenagers again, they were a little younger, but they were both very strong, and the teenagers in the mountains, even if they were not yet adults, were not weak.
The two of them practice boxing, and they don't use knife techniques, in fact, the selection of these three teenagers is also considered, these three teenagers are all talented, either strong strength, or knife or boxing skills are very good, therefore, they are the best among their peers, so they can be selected to go to Beicheng to receive the divine seal.
It's just that even Ji Cheng doesn't know if he can carve the Divine Seal, after all, there have been many failures in the past to carve the Divine Seal, and once it fails, Bei Cheng will not return the Yuan Qi Stone, and the entire Ji Jiazhai has worked hard for three years to accumulate nine Yuan Qi Stones.
Thinking of the Yuan Qi Stone, Ji Cheng touched the Yuan Qi Stone in his arms, in fact, there was a Yuan Qi Stone in his arms, which was obtained from Bei Hai, who died at the beginning, Ji Cheng got a total of three Yuan Qi Stones, absorbed two of them, and left one behind. However, you can't show this vitality stone lightly, otherwise it will be difficult to explain.
"Young Master, I heard that Bay City is very big, how big is it?"
"Young master, I heard that the people in Bay City are wearing silk, and the color of those silks is bright, is it true?"
As the carriage drifted away, the three teenagers couldn't help but look forward to Beicheng, this was the first time they left the small Jijiazhai, left the mountains, and walked to the bustling Beicheng......
Half a month later, when Ji Cheng opened the curtain on the carriage again, he could already see a towering ancient city standing in front of him among the clouds and mist.
Bay City has finally arrived!
"Wake up, Bay City has arrived. ”
Ji Cheng pushed Ji Yun and the others on the carriage, these three teenagers had long lost the excitement when they first left the village after half a month, and they were napping in the carriage all day long.
"Huh? It's finally here!"
"Half a month, you can count it as Bay City. ”
The three little guys began to get excited again, lifted the curtain, stretched out their heads, looked around, and when they saw the huge and majestic ancient city, they all opened their mouths wide and felt deeply shocked.
This shell city is extremely magnificent and daunting, but it is nothing to Ji Cheng, who has been a man in two lifetimes, but Ji Yun and the other three teenagers are teenagers in the authentic mountains, and they have never been out of the mountain when they are so big, so they are naturally very shocked when they suddenly see such a magnificent and majestic city.
Entering the city, Ji Cheng and the others attracted the attention of many people, if nothing else, just the pet beast ridden by his father and Uncle Shi was very attention-grabbing.
Moreover, Ji Cheng and the others are still dressed in animal skins, which look full of wildness, while the people on the streets of Beicheng, although not all of them are silk robes, but at least they are all burlap covering their whole bodies, and they are not dressed like Ji Cheng and others.
"Recently, the sealing ceremony was held in Bay City, and it seems that I don't know which deep mountain Daze came out of the wilderness. ”
"Tsk, this outfit is really bold enough, but the pet beast they ride is good. ”
Many people talked about it, although they were surprised, but they were not surprised, after all, Bay City held a seal ceremony every three years, and they also knew it.
Beicheng rules a radius of thousands of miles, nominally, all clans and villages within a radius of thousands of miles belong to the rule of Beicheng, and they are the absolute overlords of a radius of thousands of miles, and no person or force has ever been able to challenge the hegemony of Beicheng.
The reason for this is because there is a palm seal master in Bay City!
This world is very magical, and Ji Cheng has already learned that if a small village wants to grow, the number of people must be enough, at least 100,000 people, and the territory must be large enough. If both of these conditions are met, then you can pray to heaven and earth and expand the village into a clan.
If it succeeds, then there will be a vision in the sky, and there will be a birth of a clan fortune in the underworld, which is ethereal, invisible and intangible, but real.
With the clan luck, the clan can give birth to more and more talents, and even the clansmen will have some unexpected gains when they encounter some dangers.
In short, to be recognized by heaven and earth, to become a clan, this is almost the dream of all villages, tribes, Haojiazhai has always been ambitious, want to expand the village into a clan, but unfortunately, the expansion direction of Haojiazhai is impossible to bypass Jijiazhai, and the contradiction with Jijiazhai is destined to be irreconcilable.
And after becoming a clan, if you can get lucky enough to give birth to a palm seal, the clan will also have the ability to build a city, like Bei Cheng, and become the overlord of the surrounding forces.
Because only the palm seal master can carve the divine seal for ordinary people, and he has great power in an instant.
Just like Bei City, with a palm seal master, countless villages or tribes within a radius of thousands of miles will send people to contribute vitality stones and ask the palm seal master of Bei City to carve the divine seal.
Only with the Divine Seal, the people of these villages or tribes can deal with the threat of some fierce beasts around them.
It is precisely because Bay City has such a special status that the city is naturally extremely prosperous.
"Alright, you all get out of the car and stay in the inn first. ”
Uncle Shi's voice came from outside the carriage, Ji Cheng took the three teenagers and got off the carriage, and now he has arrived at the inn, and his father has already booked a room, of course, it is the most ordinary room, after all, Jijiazhai is just an ordinary village, and there is not much money.
"Cheng'er, you and Ji Yun are in the same room, and Ji Lin and Ji Long are in the same room. ”
Father assigned a room, two people in a room, under the leadership of the shopkeeper, Ji Cheng and others also lived in the inn, they walked in the carriage for fifteen days in a row, and they were already exhausted.
"Today, you have a good night's rest, there are still a few days before the sealing ceremony, don't be in a hurry. ”
After Ji Wei finished speaking, he also turned around and left, and entered the room to rest, in the past ten days, he was also tired enough.
Ji Cheng didn't rest immediately, after he saw Ji Yun lying on the bed to rest, he began to practice the knife technique, and for fifteen days, he was in a carriage, so he didn't have time to practice.
"Whew. ”
Ji Cheng's practice of sword techniques is also quite powerful, although he has not practiced for fifteen days, but the thirteen styles of fast knives have almost become familiar to the point that it has become instinct, so now that he has practiced it, he does not feel how rusty.
With the current degree of Ji Cheng, he can practice about 200 times a day, and if he improves his degree in the future, he can practice more, but even if he improves again, it will take a long time to reach the proficiency of tens of thousands of stools.
Therefore, in the future, the five-in-one, six-in-one or even higher knife realm will require the kung fu of water grinding and slowly practicing the knife technique, and it is impossible to improve greatly in a short period of time.
"Forget it, it's useless to practice now, after receiving the divine seal this time, go back to the village and practice slowly, I don't know what divine seal I should choose?"
Ji Cheng thought about it carefully, carving the Divine Seal should help his strength, his Quick Knife Thirteen Styles can multiply the strength, therefore, it is best to use the Divine Seal in terms of strength to combine Ji Cheng's sword advantage with the Divine Seal.
The most suitable should be the Vajra seal!
Ji Cheng, who had made up his mind, thought silently in his heart, and when his father asked, he would choose the Vajra seal.
In fact, the most suitable should be the vigorous seal, but the vigorous seal is permanent, and it costs five vitality stones, with the financial resources of the current Ji family village, there is no way to use five vitality stones to let Ji Cheng engrave the vigorous seal, therefore, retreat, you can only choose the diamond seal.
Ji Cheng and the others, who had been tired for more than ten days, quickly fell asleep, and early the next morning, Ji Cheng seemed to vaguely hear a noisy sound outside the door, and immediately opened his eyes.
"Young Master, are you awake?"
Ji Cheng saw that outside the room, Ji Yun, Ji Lin and Ji Long seemed to be discussing something in a low voice.
"What are you three muttering when you three woke up so early?"
Ji Cheng is still quite majestic, although he is not very old, his straight face still makes these three teenagers afraid.
After being silent for a while, Ji Yun couldn't help but say, "Young Master, we plan to go out for a walk, but I'm afraid that the owner of the village and Uncle Shi won't agree......"
Ji Cheng looked out the window, Bay City is indeed very prosperous, these teenagers who have never been out of the mountains, coming to such a prosperous city for the first time, naturally want to go out and have a look.
"I'll tell you what it is. ”
Ji Cheng thought about it, it was also the first time he came to Bay City, and it was not bad to go out for a long time, so he got up and walked to his father's room.
Father and Uncle Shi had just come out of the house, and Ji Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, it's the first time we came to Bay City and we want to go out for a walk. ”
"Go out for a walk, but you Uncle Shi and I have to go to inquire about the Seal Ceremony, so I can't take you there." ”
Father said with a frown.
"Let's just go by ourselves, this shell city should be quite safe, besides, I'll take them with me, it's around the inn, and they won't get lost." ”
Ji Cheng is also relatively calm in the village, far from being an ordinary fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, so it is quite reassuring.
After pondering for a while, both Father and Uncle Shi nodded and said, "Okay, then you can't leave the inn too far." ”
"Father, don't worry, we're around the inn. ”
After that, Ji Cheng left the inn with Ji Yun and the others with an excited face.
On the streets of Beicheng, people came and went, and Ji Cheng didn't dare to take the three teenagers too far, only wandering around a few streets around the inn, and their outfit also attracted the attention of some people, but it was only limited to pointing at a distance.
"Young master, there are so many fun things in this shell city......"
"Their clothes look great too. ”
These teenagers are very enthusiastic about new things.
Ji Cheng seemed very calm, and these things couldn't attract his attention.
"Jingle bells".
Suddenly, a subtle bell sound came into Ji Cheng's ears, giving him a feeling of déjà vu.
