Chapter 2: White Jade Sword Pavilion
After Xu Changge's explanation, Tang Luo finally understood the atmosphere of Yuanzhou's sword cultivation, romantic Ren Xia is not afraid of power, even if he knows that he is invincible, he dares to show his sword, and he is not afraid of victory or defeat.
In Jian Xiu's view, the greatest respect for his predecessors is transcendence, and this is the fact that everyone in the Yuanzhou Xu clan is like a dragon.
With Xu Changge's explanation, when facing these cousins again, Tang Luo seemed less passive.
After refusing again and again, this group of sword cultivators, who were very important in Zhongying City, finally dispelled the idea of directly persuading Tang Luo, and left the agreement to visit the Sword Sect before leaving in a hurry.
"Actually, it's not easy for them. ”
Looking at the backs of the departing old friends, Xu Changge sighed: "There are no fresh and excellent disciples to join, only relying on the support of the reproduction of the original lineage, the life of these traditional sword sects is really difficult, coupled with the sword intent of the rookie sword sect now, the novel and fierce competition is fierce, alas, ......"
"No matter how brilliant the sword intent is, it will eventually become a thing of the past. ”
Tang Luo also echoed regretfully: "It's not that they are not good enough, but they are better now." ”
Xu Changge, who heard this evaluation, was stunned: "The eldest brother also said the same thing, it seems that you and the uncle should have a chat." ”
The heroes see the same thing, and it is really not fate to agree on some views, but Tang Luo still has a lot of face: "It's really a blessing to be the same as my uncle." ”
"It is rumored that Long Xi Tianjiao is not such a humble person. ”
Xu Changge smiled and patted Tang Luo's thick arm: "This will be your home from now on, you don't have to be so restrained, just be yourself." ”
After speaking, he said to Tang Sen and Xu Shuhui: "There are too many things that come with me this time, if you wait to evacuate together, I'm afraid it won't take a few months, it's better to travel lightly, first enter the city with the same group, set up the matter of building the mansion, and then let the large army come slowly, what does my brother-in-law think?"
Tang Sen, the head of the family, nodded: "Second uncle is in charge." ”
Since everyone has come to Yuanzhou, there is nothing to entangle with this kind of detail, after a brief exchange of opinions, Xu Shuhui and Tang Zhen together picked a few useful maids, and Tang Luo slipped out all the disciples of the Star Pavilion.
Although it is a small vanguard force, there are all kinds of people with a scale of about 500 people, riding dozens of beasts to drive towards Win City.
And the secret observation along the way also confirmed Tang Luo's judgment, that is, everyone in Yuanzhou does practice martial arts, even the farmers who farm on the side of the road, and the idlers in the tea room, all have the cultivation of the mortal realm.
It stands to reason that with such a huge base, there will naturally be countless strongmen, but what is puzzling is that the values of these warriors are all low.
There are about 3,000 young farmers in their twenties, and the same is true for fishing veterans in their fifties and sixties.
This is... What do you mean?
Tang Luo, who was puzzled, directly found Xu Changge and asked.
Of course, he would not directly expose his ability to see spiritual power, but asked, "Second uncle, how come everyone in Yuanzhou has spiritual power?"
"The eldest nephew has a keen sense of perception. ”
Xu Changge smiled and nodded: "Yes, everyone in the land of Yuanzhou does practice!" There was an indescribable pride in his tone: "The Xu family has private schools in all cities, townships, towns, and towns, and teaches all Yuanzhou children to read and write for free, and build a foundation for practice. ”
"It is worthy of being the place of the Holy Master, no wonder Yuanzhou can become so rich in a thousand years!"
Tang Luo praised sincerely: "But when it comes to popularizing cultivation, the Xu family must have suffered a lot of misunderstandings. ”
"It seems that the eldest nephew is not only amazing in martial arts. ”
Xu Changge nodded with a smile and said: "It's really difficult, it takes wisdom and courage to decide to take Yuanzhou out of ignorance, but the natives also have the pride of the natives, and it is more difficult to let them accept education and learn new words than to ascend to the sky!"
"Then how did the Xu family do it?"
Tang Luo, who had visited Chen Menglu to build the Four Imperial Spirit Realms, naturally knew how difficult it was to educate the natives, so he asked Xu Changge for advice.
"Hey, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain. ”
Xu Changge replied: "Translate the more profound exercises into the local language and teach them, so that the local tribes can let down their guard. ”
"But in this way, aren't the natives still uneducated?"
Replacing the stone spear with an iron spear is still ignorant in nature, how can it be called edification, Tang Luo is puzzled.
Seeing Tang Luo's doubts, Xu Changge smiled and hooked his fingers and replied, "So only half of the book is translated." ”
"Wonderful!"
Tang Luo's eyes lit up: "If the natives who are cultivating to the subtleties want to learn the Fa-rectification, they have to learn new characters, unless they give up their cultivation!"
"That's right. ”
Xu Changge nodded with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter if someone gives up cultivation, the natives who have learned the new characters can feel the real improvement, and the natives who see him improve will naturally work hard to learn the new words." ”
Tang Luoqiang, who roughly understood why he had been promoted, replied: "Because all the secret techniques of killing are placed in the second half of the book that has not been translated!"
"Hahaha. "Hahaha. ”
The nephews and uncles smiled at each other, and Xu Changge agreed: "That's right, that's it, the advanced natives will naturally get an eye-catching promotion, and the backward ones will be unwilling to catch up." ”
"The greatest kindness of the strong is not to force others to obey. ”
Tang Luo praised angrily: "The Xu clan does not lose the Ten Thousand Masters Table, the Xihe Holy Clan!"
"Great nephew, don't forget that you are also a disciple of the Xu family!"
At the same time, Xu Changge did not forget to remind Tang Luo's identity: "Indoctrination is a long process, and it is impossible to force it and not be in a hurry, but after several generations of accumulation, when the people who use the new language exceed the native speakers, the edification of the same text in this book will be basically completed." ”
When ordinary people come to Yuanzhou, they will only focus on the powerful swordsmanship of the country of swordsmen, but few will focus on the true pride of the Xu family.
And Tang Luo's question is precisely what Xu Changge is most proud of, and he immediately opened the conversation, starting from educating the local people, how to increase grain production, expand fisheries, animal husbandry, build a grain and cotton foundation that can supply all people, and then how to encourage childbirth.
Many of these confidential things should not be disclosed to outsiders, but after chatting with Tang Luo so heartily, Xu Changge also came to the Tao.
And Tang Luo's incisive suggestions from time to time made Xu Changge feel that he had met a bosom friend, if it weren't for Tang Luo's martial arts talent was really amazing, he would have wanted to recommend Tang Luo to the master of the school in Winning City.
"What a shame!"
Xu Changge said regretfully: "If the eldest nephew can study the way of governance, he will definitely be able to become a master of the school that has been famous for thousands of years!"
"The second uncle praised it falsely, but it was just some headless and tailless eyes, and if it was really governed, it would only make a mess of the territory. ”
Tang Luo shook his head and said very self-awarely, knowing the direction does not mean that he can complete the actual leadership.
Just like Wushuang City, it is still the experienced Xiling celebrities who are really doing things, and the ideas exported by Tang Luo have to rely on them to put them into reality.
But if you let yourself be in charge of everything, don't talk about it, you can't do as well as others.
Time flew by in the long conversation between the nephews and uncles, and the galloping beast cart took the Tang Sen family to the outside of Zhongying City.
As a big city in the middle of Yuanzhou, Yingcheng's post roads extend in all directions, rich and gorgeous, prosperous, leading the land of four states, 30 sword factions, more than 100 towns and towns, and more than 5 million people are registered.
It can be seen that the planning of Wincheng is very good, everything follows a certain symmetrical rule, and the houses in a certain area are all uniform.
Except for the Cupola Sword Pavilion in the center of Win City, everything in Win City is symmetrical, like two sides delicately cut by a knife, and any building owned in the south of the city will stand in the north of the city to echo each other.
And such a strict and symmetrical planning can't even be done in a giant city like Chaochang, let alone the domineering of directly demolishing the city wall.
"Is this the winning city?"
Seeing such a well-planned city for the first time, Tang Xing couldn't help but sigh, and the students of the Star Pavilion were the same, the family who had long been accustomed to mixing and matching buildings suddenly saw such a layout, and suddenly felt that the city that he had thought was magnificent was not worthy of being called a city.
Xu Changge seemed to have long been accustomed to the sighing eyes of outsiders, and pretended to be modest and said to Tang Luo, who had a calm expression: "It's still the eldest nephew who has determination, in fact, this kind of subtlety is nothing good, but who makes the sword master like this feeling." ”
Pointing to the street: "The shops on both sides of the same block are all built according to the standards, and they don't even have any personality! Even the old people in Zhongying City sometimes can't tell the difference between north and south. ”
Tang Luo didn't answer Xu Changge's words, not even a response, maybe in the eyes of Xu Changge and ordinary residents, this Zhongying City was such a planned evil taste of a sword master, but in his eyes, the countless spiritual energy flows that connected the earth's veins between heaven and earth made people shudder.
This isn't a fucking city, it's a sword array, a sword array the size of a city!
And the center of the sword array is there!
Tang Luo squinted his eyes and looked at the nine-story white jade sword pavilion rising to the sky in the city, each eight-square attic was implicated in a certain area of the sword array, and these dense spiritual lines were implicated in every house, every archway, and every street.
And those tightly closed sword pavilion window lattices are like beast mouths containing countless dangers, as long as a certain spiritual line is alarmed, a certain window lattice on the sword pavilion will open, spitting out countless fierce and abnormal sword intent.
This was not speculation, because Tang Luo could feel that there was a terrifying existence in the window lattices on every floor and side of the Sword Pavilion.
And the white jade at the top of the White Jade Sword Pavilion is the fourth qualitative change, containing a sword pill of millions of spirit powers, if this sword pill gets out of control......
Squinting at the Sword Pavilion Jade Ding Tang Luo didn't dare to imagine that picture, is this the essence of the Xihe Holy Land, is it... Terrible!
Xu Changge, who hadn't received an answer for a long time, looked at Tang Luo's eyes, and suddenly understood that his eldest nephew was attracted by the White Jade Sword Pavilion, so he opened his mouth to explain: "That's the nine-story White Jade Sword Pavilion, although it looks more like an eight-sided exquisite jade pagoda, hahahaha!"
"When Win City was first built, this White Jade Sword Pavilion only had three floors, and the grassroots pavilion hall was a place where the Sword Saint and the Sword Sect instructed outstanding Sword Sect disciples to practice. ”
"And the attic on the second floor is the cultivation place of the Sword Sect and the Sword Saint, and the top floor is the dojo of the Sword Master. ”
"It's just that later, there were more and more Sword Sects and Sword Saints in Zhongying City, and the Sword Pavilion on this floor was really not enough, so it kept building upwards, and until now, there are nine floors!"
Speaking of this, Xu Changge added: "But it seems that there are a few more Sword Sects in Zhongying City that are about to break through, so the pavilion will not be enough, maybe one more layer will be built in the next few years." ”
Shocked by the wonders of Zhongying City, the students of the Star Pavilion and Tang Xing both stretched out their ears to listen to the introduction of the White Jade Sword Pavilion, and then secretly frightened.
Although they didn't know what level the Sword Saint was, the Sword Sect was obviously a Great Grandmaster-level swordsman.
One floor with eight attics, not to mention eight pavilions, eight eight sixty-four, in other words, just in Win City, there are sixty-four sword sects, and one sword king?
Swallowing with difficulty, the teenagers from Longzhou felt for the first time that the world was so big.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg, because in addition to the Sword Pavilion, Yuanzhou also has the garrisons of the three armies in each city, as well as the Inhuman Pavilion, as well as various sword factions......
Just as the Tang clan was standing outside Win City and sighing, a man in armor riding a dragon beast rushed towards here at a very fast speed in the market.
If it were in other places, such a rampage would mean chickens flying and dogs jumping, and in Win City, whether it was the vendors practicing stalls on the street or the people shopping in the streets, they had avoided the path of the dragon beast at a particularly alarming speed, and they were still scolding and swearing.
This scene made the students of the Star Pavilion look straight at them, they really didn't expect that this lady who was shopping for vegetables on the side of the road seemed to have cultivation.
"How many times have you said that the cavalry can't run around in the city, if you hurt the people, you will get rid of your identity as a cavalry and go back to farming!"
Xu Changge obviously knew the person who came, even if the other party was wearing armor all over his body, and before the dragon beast could run, the second master of the Tianfeng Sword Saint Mansion scolded him.
The eyes of the dragon beast knight, who was covered by the head armor and only left a pair of eyes, suddenly changed, and the coldness turned into a pleading, and the strangled reins made the dragon beast turn its head and roar uncomfortably for a while.
But the speed finally decreased, the dragon beast stopped in front of Xu Changfeng, the knight turned over, and said angrily: "Report to the second master, on the order of the sword master, please go to the Sword Pavilion to meet!"
"Hmm... It's so urgent. ”
Xu Changge touched his chin and responded, "I know, I'll take my eldest nephew to the Sword Pavilion, and you can go back to the camp to report!"
The knight who had been granted amnesty immediately climbed onto the dragon beast, grabbed the reins and pulled the reins, and ran towards the city again, but this time the speed was much slower.
"Great nephew, since the sword master wants to see you, let's go over early. ”
After exchanging glances with his father and mother, Tang Luo nodded to his second uncle, Xu Changge.
As the landmark building of Win City, the nine-story White Jade Sword Pavilion is really easy to find, and almost any main road can lead directly to the Sword Pavilion.
And along the way, Xu Changge didn't forget to instruct: "Don't worry, you treat the sword master as the elder of the family, and answer whatever you ask, if you are done with the sword master, you can ask if you can walk around in the sword pavilion, just greet your grandfather and uncle." Your grandfather is in the third floor, and your uncle is in the second floor. ”
While speaking, the two walked to the front of the White Jade Sword Pavilion, and Tang Luo looked at it, his whole body tightened, and he froze in place.
