Chapter 436: Entering the City
Entering the gate of the Twin Star City, Qin Wen did not receive much attention, although this Twin Star City has been closed in this environment for many years, and there are also a number of monks from the outside world, but the realm of the monks in them is relatively high, generally speaking, the Xuanshi monks walking on the street are not inconspicuous at all.
Moreover, Qin Wen actually heard two spiritual level monks discussing the issue of the gong in public, which made him very surprised, in Daqi or the city of expulsion, even if the master taught the gong to the disciple, they all paid attention to saying that the Dharma was not passed on to the six ears, not to mention whether the two monks practiced the same skill of cultivation, just such a discussion would reveal many secrets of their own practice.
Seeing Qin Wen and Fang Li's somewhat surprised expressions, Sun Da next to him spoke: "Master Qin, you should have seen this kind of scene for the first time, I was also a little curious when I first came, but I got used to it after walking a few more times. ”
Qin Wen couldn't help but say curiously at this time: "There are thousands of exercises in this world, even if a spirit monk has practiced for hundreds of years, or even thousands of years, it is impossible for him to have tried every kind of cultivation experience, if a monk asks him about a skill he has not heard of, wouldn't it be a joke?"
Sun Da turned around and looked around, no one noticed the conversation between him and Qin Wen, so he said in a slightly lower voice: "The monks in the entire Twin Star City are all practicing a kind of skill, I heard that this skill is still passed down from the first city lord, and in a place called the Scripture Building, it can be watched by people." ”
Fang Li said with some disbelief at this time: "So many residents have cultivated a set of martial arts, how big is that scripture building, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time?"
Sun Da shook his head and said, "What the Scripture Collector's House collects is not this set of exercises, but the annotated versions of this set of exercises by some high-level monks in the city. When a child is born in every household in the city, the city will give the child a book of exercises to start practicing from an early age. ”
"Once they reach the realm of Xuantu, they are allowed to go to the Tibetan Scripture Building to observe the versions of these commentaries every year, and when the realm reaches the Xuanshi or Xuanshi stage, this time will gradually increase. And when you reach the spiritual level, you are qualified to write your own commentary on this set of exercises. ”
Qin Wen pondered for a moment and asked, "Then have you been to this scripture building?"
Sun Da shook his head again and said: "No, I just walked outside the scripture building with the caravan monks, I heard that the caravan monks from outside are not allowed to enter the scripture building, and it is also one of the agreements signed between Huang Wuye and the steward at the beginning, in fact, this trick is still handed down by the first city mainstream." ”
"Back then, in order to fight against the demons for a long time, although Twin Star City was besieged everywhere, there was a teleportation array, and there was no shortage of materials in the city, in order to cultivate more monks. The city lord established this scripture building, and the city lord first contributed his own cultivation skills, and some monks immediately responded and came up with their own skills. ”
Fang Li couldn't help but ask at this time, "Then why is there only the city lord's skill now, those skills passed down by other monks?"
Sun Da explained as he walked: "The other exercises are also in the scripture building, after all, the skills left by the city lord at that time were the highest level, so everyone has been choosing this skill first for so many years, only if they can't practice this skill." Only then will there be high-ranking monks who will choose other skills for him. ”
"Therefore, everyone has always practiced a kind of exercise, and there is no such thing as different methods of practicing the exercises. In addition, in this atmosphere of mutual discussion, you can better discover your own shortcomings in the understanding of the exercises, and can promote everyone's better practice. ”
Fang Li thought of another question, so he asked Sun Dadao in a low voice, "Then is the current city lord practicing this kind of technique, is he practicing a more perfect version of the technique?"
Sun Da shook his head and said, "Listening to the steward of their City Lord's Mansion, all the previous city lords have practiced this kind of skill, and the skills they have cultivated are exactly the same as those of ordinary residents. Moreover, even the restrictions on entering the Scripture Building are the same, and the City Lord's Mansion does not have the slightest privilege in this. ”|
"Now the trick taken out by the first city lord was originally still in the secret room of the Tibetan Scripture Building, and this was originally only three kinds of people who could enter the observation, one was the current or previous city lord, and the second was the top ten monks in the highest level of cultivation in the city. The third type is the monk who can break through to the lower level of the Xuan Master under the age of twenty, except for these three people, no one else is qualified to see this skill. ”
Fang Li listened to Sun Da's explanation, thought for a moment, and said with some curiosity: "Then this Twin Star City can be said to be completely equal in terms of martial arts cultivation, but this city lord is in the same lineage, aren't they afraid that some monks are extremely talented, and after their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will come to snatch the position of the city lord?"
Sun Da showed a slight smile on his face and said, "Monk Fang, why did you forget, just now you also talked about the matter of the city wall magic circle, in the history of this Twin Star City, there have been several times in the history of this double star city where monks with advanced realms wanted to seize the position of the city lord, but in the end, they were all killed directly by the magic circle when they infiltrated the city lord's mansion or incited the masses in public." ”
"So the residents here are also accustomed to this kind of rule and practice, plus the successive city lords have to follow some of the rules of the first city lord, and their rule has little impact on the income of the residents, so the double star city has continued like this. ”
Qin Wen suddenly thought of something at this time, he looked at the shops on the street nearby, there were not many shops, although some were facing the street, they were all regarded as accommodation houses, the owners of the shops were very leisurely, some played chess, some tasted tea, and occasionally entered the store A guest greeted him with a smile.
Seeing this, Qin Wen asked Sun Dadao: "I see that their Twin Star City is blocked in the desert all around, and ordinary residents can't reach the outside world through the teleportation array, so what do they live on?
Sun Da shook his head and said: "The City Lord's Mansion will not support these residents, they have a unique elixir in Twin Star City, called Frost Zhi, almost every family here grows it, I heard that it is spawned with their own vitality, each monk can only give birth to one plant a year, the City Lord's Mansion will buy Frost Zhi every day, and then send it outside through the teleportation array, and trade back some elixirs and necessities." ”
"In order to prevent his descendants from taking advantage of the reduction of the price of Frost Zhi to grab profits from the hands of the residents, the first city lord stipulated the number of spiritual objects that each Frost Zhi could trade, or how many pills, or how much grain, etc., and the successive city lords could not change this rule, he used this method to stabilize the price of Twin Star City all the time. ”
Fang Li thought for a moment and said, "Although this method is good, but the current City Lord's Mansion has a powerful magic circle, even if he changes this rule, and these ordinary residents have no way to prevent this from happening, won't this regulation still be a piece of waste paper at that time?"
Sun Da hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard from the steward at the time that there may be an elder council established by several elders of the city lord family in Double Star City, although these elders have no real power, but they are also set up to supervise the city lord, they have the right to remove the city lord, and as long as half of the elders agree, they can temporarily control the powerful magic circle in the city, so none of the previous city lords dared to make up their minds on Frost Zhi." ”
After listening to Sun Da's explanation, Qin Wen couldn't help but nod slightly, it is true that only by ensuring the lives of these monks in the city can the Double Star City continue to reproduce from generation to generation, although they have never broken through the desert outside the bound Double Star City, they still have a chance.
Qin Wen thought about it again at this time, and felt more and more that the first generation of the city lord of Twin Star City had a far-reaching plan, and he showed his skills so that all the monks could practice, just thinking that one day there would be a resident of Twin Star City who could reach the holy rank he had, and the demon clan would not always rule the outer world, and then the residents of Twin Star City would have the day when they would walk out of the desert under the leadership of the holy rank monks.
After all, with a saint-rank monk, no matter what exercises this saint-rank monk is practicing, as long as he can make the magic circle in the city run smoothly every day, it will only take more than a hundred years to change the nearby desert, of course, this saint-rank monk is from his own family is the best, but he also wants to show the skills to all the monks, and he also wants these monks to see the hope of getting out of the desert, and practice hard.
Of course, he also left a back road for his family, this back road is the lifeline of the entire Twin Star City, the only teleportation array that can communicate with the outside, with this back road, he can ensure that before the appearance of the Holy Rank Monk, the family has absolute control in the city, and in case the appearance of a Saint Rank Monk is unfavorable to the family, he can also reserve some bloodline for his descendants through the teleportation array.
Qin Wen couldn't help but nod slightly: "The wise man is planning for eternity and not for a while, this old city lord of Twin Star City is not only a powerful saint-rank monk, but also a wise man with insight into world affairs, Twin Star City can continue in this situation, or rely on the shadow of this old city lord back then." ”
Fang Li opened his mouth at this time and asked Sun Dadao: "Where is the inn here?" Let's find an inn first, lest we have no place to stay at night." ”
Sun Da was stunned for a moment and said, "Inn? There are basically no foreign monks here, and they go home to rest every night, and no one does the inn's business at all." (To be continued......)
