Chapter 30: Jingcheng

Chu Xi walked through the corridor and walked back to the teacher's study, and the idea of "going back to Jingcheng to get a stone knife" slowly disappeared in his heart.

Suddenly, a spirit, completely awake in his mind, he looked around, wondering in his heart, didn't he just go somewhere else?

Chu Xiqing shook his head and continued to wait for his brother to finish chatting with the national teacher.

"Squeak." The door of the study was opened, Chu Xuping walked out, and Chen Shu, the Chinese master of the study, looked at the piece of paper in his hand with a frown.

Chu Xuping closed the door and turned to Chu Xiqing and smiled, "Let's go."

They didn't leave the palace, but came to a high-rise building, Chu Xiqing saw that it was actually a library pavilion, and he asked puzzledly: "Brother, what are you doing in this library pavilion?"

Chu Xuping smiled: "Come to see someone, I guess he must be here." He's not much older than you. ”

After entering, Chu Xiqing was shocked, he had never seen so many books in his life, and it was as vast as a sea of smoke, which made him doubt whether mortals could read the books here in their lifetime. There are more than a dozen floors, and each floor is guarded by a special person.

Chu Xuping looked around on the first floor, and then went up to the second floor, and the person in charge of those floors would respectfully shout "Mrs. Chu" when they saw Chu Xuping.

Sure enough, on the second floor, a handsome young man in a golden robe was looking at the book intently, with a straight posture, as if there was nothing beside him, and he didn't notice the arrival of the two at all.

Chu Xuping saw that the golden-robed young man had no intention of stopping, so he took Chu Xiqing to the bookshelf to flip through the books and read the books by himself.

After a long time, the golden-robed young man put down the book, rubbed his temples, and when he looked up, he noticed Chu Xuping looking at him with a smile, he hurriedly got up, walked to Chu Xuping and said, "I don't know that Mr. is here, I'm slacking." ”

Chu Xuping didn't care, and after greeting the young man, the young man looked excited and asked, "Sir, can you tell me about what you have seen these days?" ”

Chu Xuping nodded, motioned for the young man to sit down, and just wanted to speak, Chu Xiqing consciously sat next to Chu Xuping with two ancient books, and the golden-robed young man was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "I don't know if Your Excellency is ......"

Chu Xuping introduced: "He is my younger brother Chu Xiqing. Younger brother, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhou Xuan. ”

The golden-robed young man Zhou Xuan was upright, and arched his hand: "I've seen Brother Chu." ”

When Chu Xiqing heard that it was the crown prince, he was slightly cramped, and he also smiled and arched his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

Chu Xuping began to tell Zhou Xuan what he had seen, Zhou Xuan listened to it with relish, and Chu Xiqing felt that it was not as interesting as the book in his hand.

After reading these two books, Chu Xiqing knew that there were five continents in the world: East Ziling Continent, West Yang Luozhou, South Lu Yongzhou, North Jingzhou and Zhongyu Yangzhou, and the Great Zhou Dynasty was located in East Ziling Continent, occupying half of the territory. Each continent has its own characteristics, and there are great differences between the continents, and there are very few huge dynasties like the Great Zhou Dynasty, most of which are dominated by sects and ethnic groups.

There is also a book about the previous Dayu Dynasty, but it is not known how much of the deeds are true.

When Chu Xiqing put down the two books, it happened that Chu Xuping also finished talking about his experience, Chu Xuping got up and said, "I stopped by to see you today, and tomorrow I will check your results these days." ”

Zhou Xuan got up, Chu Xuping returned the salute slightly, and then said to Chu Xiqing: "Let's go." Zhou Xuan arched his hand and said, "Brother Chu, goodbye." ”

Chu Xiqing took his leave, put the ancient books back on the shelves, and followed Chu Xuping out of the library pavilion, and then went all the way out of the palace.

The moment he stepped out of the palace, Chu Xiqing shook Taiqing in the sea of consciousness, and a ripple swung out of the sea of knowledge, washing the three souls and seven spirits and the body, Chu Xiqing was walking, suddenly stopped, stopped in place, and a thought and memory hidden in his heart reappeared.

Chu Xuping looked back at Chu Xiqing, who was not moving, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Chu Xiqing frowned, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "Brother, do you know that there is a little girl in the palace, dressed very charmingly." ”

"Yes, not a good person." Chu Xuping frowned and said, "You met her?" What did she do? ”

Rubbing his slightly sore head, Chu Xiqing recalled: "She asked me to go to Jingcheng to help her get a stone knife, in a secret realm, you can only enter under the Xuantai." And...... She seemed to have cast a mind-control spell on me, but it didn't work. ”

"A stone knife?" Chu Xuping groaned, remembering something a few years ago, he sneered, it's really so daring, the idea hit my brother, but ......

Chu Xuping smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then you can go, the stone knife should not be as simple as a stone knife, maybe it is a chance, now there are many pairs of eyes in the capital staring at you, but I will arrange it for you, you can go with confidence, remember to go early and return early." ”

Chu Xiqing nodded, hesitated, and wanted to say something, Chu Xuping pulled him and said, "Don't talk about it yet, let me see if there are any hidden dangers." ”

In addition to checking all the foreign spells, there was no trace of the spell, Chu Xuping revealed a different color, is her spell too hidden? But at this moment, it seems that there is no problem, since Chu Xiqing can say it, it means that he will not be manipulated.

The night of the capital is not like an ordinary small county town, the capital is brightly lit at night, the night market is like a busy city, many young family children choose this time to go out to play, and many qi practitioners will also set aside an area, which is specially used to trade spiritual objects and exchange ideas, often attracting mortals to watch.

Such a lively night is a little far away for Chu Xiqing, he is preparing for leaving Beijing tomorrow in Chu Xuping's courtyard, Chu Xuping engraved part of Chu Xiqing's spirit, and then cast a layer of prohibition on him, it is difficult for outsiders to detect his breath.

During this period, Chu Xiqing asked about a person he hadn't seen for many years-Lu Liu, but Chu Xuping told him that Lu Liu was arranged by him to work in a county, but he was afraid that he would not come for the time being.

The night ended in a noisy voice, and Chu Xiqing quietly left the capital with a carriage early the next morning and went straight to Jingcheng, Nanyue County.

Only then did he enter the capital and leave the capital.

Chu Xiqing was in a trance, but suddenly he was looking forward to it, he hadn't returned to Jingcheng for six years, I don't know what it looks like there now, is the old mansion of the Chu family still there? Are childhood playmates long gone?

The coachman was a qi practitioner. Three days later, when the carriage left the capital for one or two thousand miles, the coachman abandoned the carriage and offered a round basin, which was enlarged and could accommodate three or four people.

Although Chu Xiqing felt that the speed was much slower than Chen Xueyue's wooden boat, he pretended to be extremely surprised on his face, which made the coachman proud for a while.

With this magic weapon of flight, the time to reach Jingcheng has been shortened a lot, and the distance of hundreds of thousands of miles can be reached in five days. The last time he fled 100,000 miles, Chu Xiqing was a powerful cultivator and had no concept in the escape, and now he flew sleepless on the disc for five days, he couldn't help but sigh at the vastness of heaven and earth, and mortals were afraid that they would not be able to finish it in their lives. However, he learned from Chu Xuping that some counties would have specific teleportation arrays, which were specially set up for mortals and ordinary qi practitioners to move long distances.

Quietly descending on Jingcheng, Chu Xiqing found that Jingcheng had changed greatly from what it had been, it seemed to have been rebuilt after the baptism of war, and even many qi practitioners appeared in the city, some were scattered cultivators, and some were people from the same sect, such as Qingyun Sect outside the city.

The coachman disappeared after entering the city, and only told him that he would still wait for him in Jingcheng when he succeeded. 、

The years have passed, like a moment of frost change.

Many small places are still in memory, but they are no longer the people of the past, walking on the bluestone road, many scenes of joy and sadness of childhood come to mind, and there is a little sigh for a while.

The Chu family's mansion is still there, but it has been left unattended for many years and is a little dilapidated, standing in front of the gate in a daze, suddenly smiling and shaking his head, now there is a task to come, not to be nostalgic for the past and the present, to hurry.
