After about two days of boat ride along the Qujiang River, Wang Cheng and his party arrived in Tiandu Mansion on the afternoon of the first day of the third lunar month.

Tiandu Mansion is a county, but it is named "Fu", and in the Great Zhou, only the governance of nine large states can be called "Fu". In fact, Tiandu Mansion was originally the seat of Lingzhou, and was later given to Ninghou Zhou Zhaoguang, but the title has not changed.

Therefore, among the counties of Lingzhou, Tiandu Mansion is the most prosperous and the most populous, with a population of more than 2 million in Lingzhou, and Tiandu Mansion accounts for one-third, with 7.8 million people.

Wang Cheng and the three of them stood in front of the city gate, looking at the city in front of them like a giant beast crawling on the ground, and they inevitably felt a sigh of emotion in their hearts.

Humans are indeed small, but their infinite creativity makes them greater than any other living being!

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate had not decreased at all, and there was no checkpoint at the city gate, but the passing vehicles lined up in several long lines.

"Tiandu Avenue is even narrow and evil, and the green ox and white horse are seven incense cars."

Zhang Xiaosheng said abruptly: "How many years have passed, and the capital is really getting more and more lively this day." ”

As he spoke, a young man in a black robe trotted over there, with a sword hanging from his waist.

"I'm counting the days, you should be there too, I've booked the house for you, let's go!"

After entering the city, Wang Cheng really saw how prosperous this magnificent city was.

A shop of five meters, an inn of ten meters, and a teahouse of twenty meters, its prosperity is far greater than that of Sanchuan County, Sichuan and Chongqing County, which is more than ten times!

In the evening, the streets are not less crowded, and the shouts of the stalls and vendors are mixed together, and the liveliness is not at all lower than that of the modern city.

Along the way, Wang Cheng was also curious about what kind of room he had booked, but when he arrived at the location, he found that it was actually a courtyard.

Very partial, from the west city gate to enter to walk for dozens of minutes, located in the southwest corner of the city, a place called "old locust lane", the alley planted a row of old locust trees, only the beginning of March, the old locust tree has not yet bloomed.

Fortunately, it is very quiet and clean here, except for Yang Si, who loves to be lively, Wang Cheng and Zhang Xiaosheng are very satisfied here.

The courtyard is relatively spacious, a side house, a hall house, and there is a well in the open space opposite the side house, and there is a simple little pavilion a few meters away from the well, and the small pavilion is full of grape vines.

When he came to the west room of the hall, Wang Cheng put down the marching bag on his back, and Zhang Xiaosheng walked in at this time.

After such a long period of cultivation, the complexion on his face is already the same as that of an old man in his fifties, his skin is a little saggy, but with sword eyebrows, black eyes, and long accuracy, it is not difficult to see that he must be a heroic and strange man when he is young.

"Senpai!" Wang Cheng bowed slightly.

Zhang Xiaosheng suddenly asked, "Do you have words?" ”

Wang Cheng didn't react at first, then he thought about it and said, "What did the predecessor say?" ”

After receiving Zhang Xiaosheng's affirmative reply, Wang Cheng shook his head, they were no longer interested in taking words in that era, but he did have some understanding of table characters.

The name and the word are two different stages of life, it has different meanings, the name comes from the time of birth, marking the advent of a person; The word originates from the crown ceremony or the ritual ceremony, which represents a person's entry into adulthood.

The word is determined by the father or the elder, and is the annotation, supplement and extension of a person's name. Not all people have "words", people with status, status, and culture generally have "words", and poor people do not know words.

"How about the old man give you a word?" Zhang Xiaosheng said.

Wang Cheng didn't refuse again this time, because Zhang Xiaosheng also had the grace to teach him, and he could be regarded as his master, plus he got him the Turtle Breath Pill and Qi and Blood Pill without saying a word last time, so his strength could improve so quickly.

He kept this kindness in his heart!

So, he solemnly saluted Zhang Xiaosheng: "Please give the words from the seniors!" ”

Zhang Xiaosheng didn't say it explicitly, but just took out a wooden rectangular sign.

Wang Cheng took the wooden sign and glanced at the information on the sign, which was about the identity information of a person named "Wang Xuanfu", with age, place of origin, and characteristics.

This seems to be an ID card!

"Wang ...... Black...... Begin! ”

Wang Cheng secretly wrote down this name, and from then on he could be regarded as a person with a watch.

Suddenly, he looked at Zhang Xiaosheng, just to give himself a watch, why do you want to get an ID card?

Zhang Xiaosheng explained: "You must also know a thing or two about what Ning Hou is going to do next, this is a rare opportunity for you!" ”

"Did the seniors want me to be selected for Xuanwei?" Wang Cheng secretly guessed in his heart.

Zhang Xiaosheng nodded, that's what he meant, otherwise he wouldn't have let the first class get this wooden deed for Wang Cheng, he had learned that Xuanwei selected some good families, and black households like Wang Cheng were not eligible to participate.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was very strict in its supervision of the population, and since it dominated the world more than 400 years ago, it began to issue wooden deeds to every household and every citizen to record identity information.

Of course, those with status do not need wooden deeds, such as officials, who wear fish talismans to record their identity information.

Wang Cheng was a little surprised at first, let him participate in the Xuanwei selection, isn't this equivalent to sending it to the tiger's mouth? Xuanwei Commander Xu Zhongheng is worried that he can't find him!

But then I thought that if I didn't enter the tiger's den, I would get the tiger, and the master Zhang Shenyi was captured by Xuanwei, if he also became Xuanwei, wouldn't it be easier to save the master?

"It's only one of them to save your master, now that your cultivation has reached the entrance to the Qi and Blood Realm, you are not far from breaking through, if you want to go further in the Qi and Blood Realm and become an ancient warrior, there is no more suitable place than the army!" Zhang Xiaosheng said.

It turns out that he still has this plan!

Warriors start from the army, and there must be some methods in the army to improve the qi and blood of warriors, which are not only some kind of exercises, but also some secret methods and the like.

Wang Cheng readily agreed.

"The old man still has to remind you, be careful! That Ning Hou is not simple, he is already in a high position, and he is a martial arts wizard. The old man heard that he was a great grandmaster a few years ago, and now he must have broken through to the consummation realm! ”

Zhang Xiaosheng poured a basin of cold water on him again, and Wang Cheng's expression gradually became solemn.

In fact, he had never looked down on Ninghou Zhou Zhaoguang in his heart, but he couldn't feel the pressure brought by this person when he was in Sanchuan County before, but when he arrived here, the pressure in his heart suddenly increased many times.

From the moment he entered the city, he was secretly observing, and the layout plan and the structure of the city walls were all swept by his perspective eyes.

The outer wall is tall and sturdy, there are armor guards in the city, the streets in the city are spacious and straight, crisscrossing like a square net, there is no horn pimple like Sichuan and Chongqing County, it is planned like a military base, once there is a riot, the guards will appear and suppress it as soon as possible!

This has become Zhou Zhaoguang's independent kingdom!

It is already difficult to take people away from here, let alone the Ninghou Mansion with such a master!

Sensing the drastic change in Wang Cheng's mood, Zhang Xiaosheng said: "You have a tough heart, and you can't pull back the eight horses that you recognize, just like the old man when he was young." ”

"It's not a bad thing to be tough, but it doesn't mean that you have to be dead-eyed, you have to learn to be flexible. Flexibility is not sleek, let alone an accident. Just like a sword, a sword that is not bent is never a good sword, and it is the best way to combine rigidity and softness. ”

He stared at Wang Cheng and said, "Child, avoid the edge when you should avoid the edge." The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has not tasted defeat twenty years ago, but after that incident, the old man completely realized that people can only do things well when they are alive, and there is nothing left when they die. ”

Wang Cheng nodded, and the instructor had told him something similar, but his temperament was really difficult to change.

"Having said so much, it's better for you to experience it once, and simply let the old man pass you another body method, leaving it for you to save your life. This is the old man's accidental acquisition when he was young, and it is the best way to be in the world, called "getaway"! ”

Zhang Xiaosheng beckoned Wang Cheng to the courtyard and advised: "See clearly!" ”

He took a step, and the person was obviously still in place, but there was already another figure more than ten meters away.

"Senior, you...... Regained your strength? Wang Cheng was both surprised and delighted.

Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "How can it be so easy?" It's just barely able to use a little bit of cultivation! ”

A little bit of cultivation?

Wang Cheng suddenly couldn't speak, judging from the body technique he showed just now, even a martial artist in the Dacheng realm couldn't do it, this was just a slight cultivation?

How strong was he in his heyday?

If only he could recover his cultivation...... Wang Cheng thought about it secretly, but then suppressed this thought.

Zhang Xiaosheng's physical condition has been checked a long time ago, because he has been in the dungeon for too long, lack of food and drink, resulting in severe decay of qi and blood, this Wang Cheng can be cured, and Zhang Xiaosheng has recovered very well under his treatment.

But his cultivation was lost, and Wang Cheng was always at a loss, because the Yuan Dan in Zhang Xiaosheng's body was gone, and he wanted to restore his cultivation, waiting to create another Yuan Dan for him!

Among the secret recipes included by Zhang Jishi, there is a pair of pills that can be called, called "Zhuan Yuan Dan", the full name is "Transferring Flowers and Grafting Wood to Yuan Ling Dan", the main medicine of this pill is a Yuan Dan, and the side medicine has nearly ten kinds of elixirs such as "Hua Ling Cao", "Pei Yuan Fruit" and "Ling Ginseng".

The elixir is already very rare, let alone Yuan Dan, which is the lifeblood of a martial artist, how can it be given to others?

Therefore, he can only think about it, and he has no conditions to concoct it.

"What did you see in that step?" Zhang Xiaosheng's words brought his thoughts back to reality.

Wang Cheng said without thinking: "Quick! ”

"Not bad! It's fast! What is Leisure? When you are like a Kunpeng, you can fight thousands of miles in the sea, and you can soar to the sky, without fear of wind and rain, without being bound, and you can swim the world and be free! ”

Zhang Xiaosheng continued: "There are three layers of the method of leisurely travel, the first layer - thunder like lightning, the second layer - chasing the waves, the third layer - the wind and the wind, the old man just used the first layer - thunder like lightning!" ”

"Rumor: Kunpeng was born with wind and thunder, and went straight into the North Underworld, so the first layer of the body method is thunder like lightning, and the key to this layer of body law is as fast as thunder and as urgent as electricity!"

"Senior, then how should I practice?"
