Chapter 34: Falling Cloud City
After half a day's march, Luoyun City was finally close at hand.
This thousand-year-old city, with the continuous expansion of dozens of generations, has become the largest city in the entire Wei State, even larger than the capital.
One of the reasons is that Luoyun City is close to the thousand-year-old ancient domain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountains are Luoyun Mountain, and the water is Luoyun River.
The thousand-year-old domain, one of the most mysterious places, and the polar ice fields north of the frost land, and the endless sea in the east are called the three major miracles of the Tianyuan continent.
It is rumored that the ancient gods once fought here, and the body of the fallen ancient gods turned into Luoyun Mountain, and the blood merged into the Luoyun River, and the consciousness of the ancient gods was also buried here, so this place was shrouded in falling clouds all year round, and did not see the light of day.
Many mainland cultivators want to enter the thousand-year-old realm to find the miracles left by the ancient gods, and take this opportunity to become the powerhouse of the continent.
Over the past thousand years, generation after generation of cultivators, even ordinary people, have all entered this thousand-year-old realm!
The people who came back alive came over with their hands crossed, and these people, regardless of their bloodline, without exception became the top powerhouses in the mainland and started a sect.
As a result, their deeds became legends, and their legends became the driving force, inspiring batch after batch of people who wanted to change the status quo, especially low-bloodline cultivators.
Falling Cloud City naturally became a place for cultivators to stay.
If you only rely on the thousand-year-old ancient domain, you will naturally not be able to make Luoyun City glorious for a thousand years.
There is another reason, of course, because of the Luoyun Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles, and the Luoyun River that runs through the east and west of the continent, called Luoyun, naturally the clouds fall when they float here, and the birds can't fly, and people are inaccessible.
It has become a paradise for animals, almost all the animals on the continent can be seen here, even those mythical beasts that have lived for more than a thousand years.
The bloodlines of people and animals in this world are the same, people take beasts as golden bodies and condense into blood pills, and beasts take people as golden bodies, which also condense into blood pills, it is said that the blood pill of a thousand-year-old divine beast can make an ordinary person who has no power to become a cultivator above the ninth layer.
Animal resources are extremely important in any world, and the Tian Yuan Continent will not be an exception, bounty hunters, rangers, hunters, and more powerful cultivators are all gathered here, some for rare beasts, some for precious medicinal materials, and some naturally for the blood pill of thousand-year-old giant beasts.
All this has contributed to the thousand-year-old glory of Luoyun City.
When it was getting late, the envoys of the Chu State entered Luoyun City, and Qian Feiyun did not alarm the local officials of the Wei State along the way, so as not to cause extraneous branches.
They rested in an inn, Qian Feiyun let everyone not go out without permission, Luoyun City hidden dragon and crouching tiger, those who dare to come out and walk at night are powerful masters, these people, they had better not provoke now.
In a fine room.
Princess Qianqin sat on the edge of the bed with her hands on her cheeks, and her thoughts flew for a while, but what she thought about the most was what happened between her and Li Jing.
She has lived in a strictly controlled environment since she was a child, like a beautiful caged bird, noble status, but no freedom at all, this time to the Wei State, only to find that the world is so beautiful, how beautiful freedom is.
The experience of this journey, in her boring 18 years of memory, is the most beautiful and the most wonderful.
Especially the first encounter with Li Jing, as well as every moment when Li Jing sacrificed his life to protect her, are deeply engraved in her mind, and in the past 18 years, nothing can make her so unforgettable.
Xue'er looked at Princess Qianqin, who didn't belong to her thoughts, and said, "Princess, you won't be in love with Li Jing, right?" ”
Princess Qianqin's mind was seen through, revealing a trace of shyness, and said, "What nonsense." ”
Xue'er said with a straight face: "Forgive the maid bluntly, where can Li Jing be worthy of the princess, his blood is low, and now he is just a traitor to the Great Wei, in order to save their lives, we were attacked and almost lost our lives, it is already a great favor to him, he should never have any thoughts about Her Royal Highness the princess, you are simply people from two worlds." ”
Princess Qianqin shook her head and said: "Don't think nonsense, save him because his grandfather Li Chonggao was once kind to our Chu State! I know, this is just an encounter, when he arrived in Chu State, he transferred to Da Zhou, I will continue to be my princess, and I will never see each other again in this life." With that, he sighed softly.
Xue'er listened to the princess's tone, and seemed to really have a good impression of Li Jing, and immediately persuaded bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the princess, you must not have this kind of thought, if you let the four princes know, it will not be good, you will become the queen of Wei in the future, the four princes are eloquent and heroic." No matter the appearance, status, or identity, there is Li Jing who can compare..."
Princess Qianqin interrupted Xue'er's words and asked, "Xue'er, if it is the fourth prince of Wei, will he sacrifice his life to save me that day?"
Xue'er said: "This... I don't know this, if the four princes are here, they will never let you fall into such a dangerous situation. ”
Princess Qianqin's heart suddenly became depressed, in a few days when she arrived in Dawei, she became a caged bird again, and she was destined to marry another woman's wife in the future, why not take advantage of the freedom of these few days to get along with Li Jing?
As for Xue'er, she naturally wants the princess to marry the four princes, so that she also has the opportunity to be fortunate by the four princes, if she gives birth to a dragon seed for the four princes, her identity at that time is naturally not comparable to that of a small maid now, if her son is angry and can become the emperor of Wei, then she will be the queen mother.
This is the highest goal she pursues in her life, and it is also the best opportunity for her to get rid of the identity of a maid and soar to the sky, and the premise of all this is that Princess Qianqin will marry the fourth prince of Wei.
For Li Jing, she was worried, in case Her Royal Highness the Princess eloped with this Li Jing, her life would be over, and she must find an opportunity to explain all this clearly to Li Jing, lest he do anything out of the ordinary.
There was nothing to do all night, Li Jing naturally didn't sleep well, with Chang Jing here, it's no wonder that he can sleep well.
The envoys will spend two days in Falling Cloud City to recuperate.
Once again, you won't be able to touch any cities or villages to rest in.
In the past few days of recuperation on the road, Ji Xiaoya Li Jing's injuries have basically recovered, and Chang Jing, who is more seriously injured, can also move freely, and in another ten days and half a month, he will heal.
Master Chenyun has been to many places on the mainland, and it is the first time he has been to Luoyun City, although he is injured, under the care of his disciples, he has marched towards the Luoyun Temple of Luoyun City.
Luoyun City during the day is still very safe, Li Jing took three apprentices and was ready to visit Luoyun City, Chang Jing was injured, it was not appropriate to move more, Ji Xiaoya, who has always been lively and active, actually chose to take care of Chang Jing in the inn, which made Li Jing feel very strange.
As soon as I left the door of the inn, I heard a voice behind me say, "Li Gongzi, can you take the two of us with you?"
Li Jing knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, Princess Qianqin and the maid Xue'er were dressed as men, they were really two "beautiful men" with a smile, and the two said hello to Li Jing.
Li Jing couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess, don't call me Li Gongzi in the future, just like before, how good it is to call me Li Jing." If Manager Qian agrees, then let's go together. ”
How did Li Jing know that in the State of Chu, a woman calling a man a son is the greatest respect.
The princess said: "Manager Qian agreed, you can call me Qianqin, so as not to reveal our identity." ”
Li Jing agreed, and the five of them set off together.
Qian Feiyun walked out of the inn and followed them not far away.
The three apprentices were naturally extremely happy, the first time they came to Luoyun City to ask this and that, Li Jing's head was too big, Li Jing thought they were in the way, and each gave a piece of silver to send away.
"Go buy something good and don't get me in trouble. Before leaving, Li Jing told them that these three apprentices were ghostly and ghostly, and they were not afraid that they would be separated.
Finally sent the three annoying spirits, Li Jing slowed down and walked side by side with Qianqin, wanting to find a chance to talk to the princess.
"Li Jing (Qianqin). The two of them spoke at the same time, and then said at the same time, "You speak first." ”
As a result, both of them were embarrassed and stopped talking.
Xue'er was also irritable when she watched it next to her, and said in her heart: "These two people really have a good impression of each other, and they must strangle this bad relationship in the cradle when the relationship is not deep." ”
Xue'er said to Qianqin: "Childe, I heard that the Great Mother Goddess of Luoyun Temple is extremely effective, we might as well go there and make a wish, maybe it will come true in the coming year." ”
Li Jing and Qianqin naturally had no objections, and the three of them set off towards Luoyun Temple.
The Falling Cloud View is built on the halfway of the Falling Cloud City, and all kinds of people who come to offer incense are bustling, and it is really troublesome to climb the Falling Cloud Temple.
Li Jing had already had a hot chat with Princess Qianqin at this time, and put Xue'er aside, the more Xue'er looked at Li Jing, the more unpleasant she became, she wanted to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, naturally, she thought that Li Jing also had this kind of thought.
"Shameless. Xue'er scolded hatefully in her heart.
Li Jingsheng advocated free love in his previous life, although there was also a tradition of being the right person, but it could not be compared with the concept of this world, especially the strict bloodline system of this world, Princess Qianqin is a phoenix bloodline and belongs to the first bloodline family, and Li Jing belongs to the second bloodline family, and it is impossible for them to be combined.
Just like his father and mother back then.
Li Jing has always moved with his heart, and when he has a good impression of the woman in front of him, he will approach her according to his heart, and he doesn't think too much about it, just like he accepted Hualong's Three Musketeers as apprentices. He never thought that the gap between himself and the princess in front of him would be so big in the eyes of others.
Later, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai both turned into butterflies, and the two were forced by family pressure during their lifetimes, and finally got together after their deaths. ”
After Li Jing finished talking about the poignant Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, Princess Qianqin pondered alone and said in her heart: "He's not hinting at me." ”
Li Jing is naturally not hinting at her, along the way, he always has to find some topics, the stories he knows are limited, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai are one of them, and he thought that girls like to hear such love stories, so he told it.
Unconsciously, the three of them came to Luoyunguan, stopped in front of a statue, Princess Qianqin stepped forward, picked up the incense reverently, and silently made a wish in her heart.
Xue'er took the opportunity to pull Li Jing over and said solemnly: "Li Jing, today I want to make some things clear to you, lest you ruin the princess's life." ”
