Volume 7 Chapter 27 Arriving in Luoyang

After Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin were full, they watched Hong Ji eat, he had milk porridge in his left hand and Hu cake in his right hand, and he was snoring.

Before he finished drinking a bowl of porridge, his senior brother came back, and when he saw that Hong Ji was actually sitting on the table drinking porridge and eating cakes, he walked over in surprise and shouted, "Aji." ”

Hong Ji looked back and saw that it was Senior Brother, so he hurriedly greeted, "Senior Brother, come and have breakfast." ”

Then he said to Luo Changfeng: "Brother Changfeng, this is my senior brother Wang Kunyang, he is a five-bag disciple. ”

The five bags of disciples are already the highest level of the beggar gang disciples, and the status of the beggar gang is divided into nine levels, the first five levels are disciples, the last four levels are elders, and the six bags are the elder level, which can serve as the master of an altar, and the seven bags of elders can serve as the helmsman.

There is a "Dao" in charge of the rudder, a continent in the sub-altar, and there are strongholds in each county, and the person in charge of the stronghold is usually served by the five bags of disciples.

There are only four Nine Bag Elder Beggars, one "Palm Bowl Dragon", one "Palm Stick Dragon", one "Elder Passing on Gong", one "Law Enforcement Elder", and there are seven elders in the eight generations, and together with the four Nine Bags Elders, they form the Council of Elders.

The Presbyterian Church usually maintains a number of eleven members, but it is similar to the council of later generations, the minority obeys the majority, and any decision, as long as more than six people agree, it can be implemented, and more than six people oppose, naturally it cannot be implemented.

The administrative division of Datang adopts the three-level system of "Daozhou County", which is equivalent to the provinces, cities, districts and counties in later generations.

Yangzhou is actually a continent, not a city, this Yangzhou city, in this era should be called "Guangling", belongs to the border city of Yangzhou, Huainan Province, and is adjacent to Jiangnan East Road.

"Yellow Crane Tower Sends Meng Haoran to Guangling" is a poem written by Li Bai for Meng Haoran when he went to Guangling, Yangzhou, but this world belongs to the overhead world, and Guangling is called Yangzhou, which is not unacceptable.

Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin took the initiative to stand up, hugged their fists at Wang Kunyang and greeted, "Brother Wang." ”

Wang Kunyang returned the salute and said, "Hello two, I haven't asked for advice yet." ”

Luo Changfeng said: "In Xia Luo Changfeng, this is Shen Jianxin, Yu Hangren, Brother Wang hasn't had breakfast yet, right?

Wang Kunyang smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Luo for your kindness, but there is no need, I have already eaten it below." ”

Luo Changfeng didn't force it, he talked a few words casually, and when Hong Ji finished eating, Shen Jianxin paid the bill, and they cherished each other and went their own way.

Shen Jianxin said to Luo Changfeng: "Big brother, what should we do next?"

Luo Changfeng thought for a while and said: "Stay in Yangzhou tonight, rest for one night, and go to the dock tomorrow to charter a boat, it is more convenient for you to practice by boat, and it is also easier, let's rush to Huayin County first, and wait for the arrival of the ten-year period of Chunyang Palace in Huayin County." ”

Shen Jianxin had no objections, Luo Changfeng thought about him everywhere, and he was only full of gratitude.

......

The so-called money can make ghosts grind, every time Luo Changfeng enters the world of reincarnation, he will carry a few catties of gold and silver on his body.

A catty is 16 taels, but in fact, one tael in the Tang and Song dynasties did not have 50 grams, and 16 taels did not have 800 grams, only 596.82 grams, so a few catties of gold and silver are actually not heavy, but the value is not low.

Luo Changfeng has a pound of silver and three pounds of gold, in this era, if an ordinary family of three spends normally, he can't spend it in his lifetime, after all, one dollar can buy more than one pound of rice grain.

Chartering a two-sailing ship, plus food supplies, is only five cents, that is, six taels of silver.

The boat ride is much easier and more comfortable than a carriage or horseback ride, but it's inevitably slower, but it's acceptable.

Now there is no wind at this time, and from Yangzhou to Luoyang belongs to the upstream, basically relying on penny boats, plus the canal water is not deep, and some places have to pull fiber, this speed is naturally not fast.

In addition, the canal channel is limited, but there are many ships, and the grain ships are endless all year round, plus all kinds of official ships and civilian boats, and the river is often blocked.

As a result, it only took six or seven days to ride a horse, and it only took ten days to ride a horse-drawn carriage, which took more than a month.

Fortunately, Luo Changfeng and they are not in a hurry, they can afford to spend more than a month, the key is that the boat ride is safer, not bumpy, and much easier.

The back half of the ship is a cabin with a covered roof, and when the time comes, they can go back to the cabin to meditate and practice, and when they don't need to practice, Luo Changfeng teaches Shen Jianxin to practice swords on the deck.

He was not afraid that the boatmen would learn from him, if he could learn his martial arts so easily, then they would not become a boatman.

There were seven shipwrights and captains, all of whom were men in their twenties and thirties, all of whom were dark-skinned and exposed to the wind and sun all year round, making them look a few years older than their actual age.

After the ship is full of goods, the draft is deeper, and it is even more difficult to walk, and they are tired enough to choke just by pulling fiber, and it takes more than two months to run a trip.

And Luo Changfeng and they chartered a boat, just two people, naturally it is a lot easier, in the past, many places that needed to pull fibers can now be directly supported, and it also saves a lot of time.

Therefore, this trip was very pleasant, and they also respected Luo Changfeng and Shen Jianxin, the two "gods".

Forty days later, successfully arrived at Luoyang, as the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang City is naturally more magnificent than Yangzhou, the city wall alone is as high as ten or twenty zhang, that is, fifty or sixty meters.

The city wall in the normal historical world is only three zhang high, the most common is the two-zhang high city wall, the highest known city wall, nearly six zhang high, is the ancient city wall of Nanjing, that is until the Ming Dynasty a thousand years later.

But after all, this is an overhead high martial arts world, any martial arts master, the height between a vertical can not exceed five zhang, they are embarrassed to call it light work, and the normal height of the city wall cannot play a defensive role at all.

Just like Luo Changfeng, his nearly 100 years of skill can go straight to nearly ten zhang in one vertical, this is still when his true qi is not condensed enough, the master of this world can be imagined.

The two disembarked at the dock outside the city, and after paying the fare, they said goodbye to the ship's boss and a group of boatmen, and entered Luoyang City.

After cultivating on the ship for more than a month, Shen Jianxin has already cultivated a weak internal force in his body, and there is no way to practice internal strength, unless he gets some heavenly treasures or someone else to pass on his skills, there is no shortcut.

No matter how high your qualifications are, you have to accumulate bit by bit, and you can practice as much as you want, at most, your qualifications are high, and the internal strength you improve every time you practice is stronger than others.

But that kind of strength is the advantage of gathering sand into a tower for a long time, but you can't see anything in a short time.

However, in terms of swordsmanship, Shen Jianxin's progress is very good, his qualification and comprehension are not below Ah Fei, and he is even slightly half a notch.

After all, the aura of heaven and earth in this world is relatively richer, and Shen Jianxin's living environment is much better than that of Ah Feike, Luo Changfeng estimates that when the ten-year period of the Pure Yang Palace comes, he will be able to fully understand the Changfeng Sword Technique.

The Changfeng Sword Technique includes swordsmanship, footwork, and body techniques, and the Changfeng Sword Technique does not need to comprehend the unity of heaven and man, and when it is performed, it can attract the blessing of heaven and earth aura.

With such strength, Shen Jianxin should have no problem with this foundation, as for other aspects, he still has to rely on himself.
