Chapter 2 Talents

Both horses were good horses, and although there was some delay on the road, the sun was rising, and the soldiers defending the city had just opened the city gates, and the two rushed to the foot of Jinling City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

This Jinling City is a hundred years of ancient capital, as early as the time of Emperor Gaozu to expand the territory, it is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with nearly 30 years of wind and rain, the country and the people, now the prosperity of Jinling City is probably only the imperial capital Chang'an can compare with it. Today coincides with the monthly big gathering, the people in the city help the old and the young to come to the market, one after another, the voices of the people are boiling, and the excitement is extraordinary.

Zhao Niantong was just in his early twenties, and he grew up in Caixia Palace since he was a child, with a simple mind and an innocent mind. Pan Suxuan is eight years older than Zhao Niantong, strong in martial arts, calm and sophisticated, and is already one of the eight protectors of Caixia Palace at a young age, and is the leader of the new generation of Caixia Palace, and has a lot of prestige among the disciples.

Caixia Palace is located in the highest point of Donglai Yingzhou on the goddess peak of Tianyi Mountain, this faction advocates sunshine, a hundred years ago the patriarch of the sect invited the Dongying secret people, according to the technique of Qimen Dunjia, the entire Caixia Palace is arranged into the type of congenital gossip. The buildings in the palace mostly use crystal, glass and other refractive and reflective things, and the climate here is humid and sunny, so there must be colorful glow after every rain, hence the name.

As one of the most mysterious sects in the rivers and lakes, the disciples within Caixia Palace can be described as highly hierarchical. In addition to the palace master, there are four elders of Houtu, Holy Fire, Zhishui, and Shenmu, and under the elders are the eight protectors of the "white" generation, each of which is a slender man with a white horse in white clothes, and then there are disciples of seven colors like Caixia, namely red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple, and each generation of disciples is wearing the same color as their generation.

Every year on the day of the summer solstice, a ceremony is held in the palace to worship the heavens, and it is also a promotion ceremony for disciples of all generations. The method of promotion is martial arts, starting from the purple generation, if you can win three games in a row, you can become the first disciple of the generation, if you can become the first disciple for three consecutive years, you can be promoted to become the disciple of the previous generation.

Disciples above the orange generation, including Dharma protectors and elders, can accept disciples on their own, and the accepted disciples need to be graded according to the master's generation by five generations when they enter the school. If the master is an orange generation, the apprentice wears purple clothes, and if the master is an elder in white, the apprentice is a disciple in Tsing Yi. Pan Suxuan and Zhao Niantong were dressed in green clothes when they first entered, and their master was the head of the four elders - Elder Houtu.

In the Caixia Palace, only the disciples above the orange generation can go down the mountain and leave the palace, and because of the slow promotion method, many people have only been in the palace for decades and are only green-clothed disciples, and they cannot get the opportunity to go down the mountain, so the people in the Caixia Palace rarely walk around the rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes know little about it. Some disciples can't help but be lonely on the mountain, and sneak down the mountain without permission, once they are caught, they will be abolished by the law enforcement elders, and poured a bowl of decoction and medicine, and after forgetting all the things in the palace, they will be expelled from the mountain.

Although Pan Suxuan and Zhao Niantong can both go down the mountain according to their seniority, they have never traveled far, how could they have ever been to a place like Jinling, where the ships are so maze-studded? As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Niantong's heart was fascinated by the world, and he left the unhappiness on the road behind, and from time to time he looked east and west, and only hated himself for not giving birth to a few more pairs of eyes, so that he could have a full view of this lively scene.

Pan Suxuan was a little calm, and he stepped forward and said, "Senior sister, it's better for us to find the inn quickly, and it's not too late to settle down and go shopping." Zhao Niantong said: "Don't worry, senior brother, let me go shopping again." Look at it, how good and similar is that sugar man?" Pan Suxuan said: "Senior sister, don't forget that we have a heavy responsibility, not here to hang out." Besides, you and I shouldn't dress too much to show off outside. ”

Zhao Niantong looked down and saw that he was dressed in a red outfit, Pan Suxuan was snow-white, and the tall horse and beautiful horse led by the two of them were indeed too eye-catching. So, the two found an inconspicuous inn in the west of the city to stay. The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw the guests, and hurriedly asked the man to open two upper rooms. Although the inn is not big, the room is very exquisite, Pan Suxuan is very satisfied, and ordered the men to drink and feed the horses. After a brief wash, the two went out on the street to change their outfits.

Pan Suxuan was dressed as a scholar, wearing a light blue scarf, an azure gown, and a pair of black square-soled fast boots under his feet. Zhao Niantong also changed into a set of male clothes for the convenience of his movements, but it was much more expensive than Pan Suxuan, wearing a free scarf, an apricot yellow robe, gold silk high boots on his feet, a jade pendant with a belt, and a folding fan in his hand, just like a rich son.

The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Niantong said: "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be quite handsome when you dress up like this?" Pan Suxuan smiled and said: "Senior sister, you have won the award, compared to the handsome and chic, it has to be your fair-skinned and beautiful Zhao Gongzi?" Zhao Niantong smiled: "Haha, Pan Gongzi agreed, agreed." ”

The two were walking laughing, when suddenly a fast horse came from a distance, and immediately a person in an official uniform was swept towards the crowd with a long sword on his back and a horse whipped. Seeing that the fierce horse was about to rush into the crowd, the people closest to the horse had been frightened, and they were stunned and couldn't take care of escaping. I saw the man on the horse with the reins in his left hand, and the saddle with his right hand, and his feet kicked violently, and his body rose into the air like a light swallow, and crossed an arc in the air, and slowly fell. The fierce horse had been trained, and as he ran, he suddenly felt a lightness on his body, and knew that his master was gone, and at the same time, with the strength of the reins, his head brushed the crowd and ran westward.

Pan Suxuan said in his heart: "What a handsome kung fu, there are such skilled people in the government, it seems that we have to be more careful on this trip!" was thinking about it, but saw Zhao Niantong walk forward and said loudly: "Hey, if you show off your kung fu like this, aren't you afraid of hurting the innocent?"

The young man on the horse glanced at Zhao Niantong, did not answer, turned around and walked towards the crowd. Zhao Niantong rushed up and said angrily: "Hey, are you deaf, a kid in black?" The young man in black still walked by himself as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing this, Zhao Niantong stretched out her right hand to grab the young man's shoulder, but just as she was about to touch the clothes, the young man's shoulder slid away from her hand like a loach. Zhao Niantong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Okay, let's see if your body is fast, or my palm is fast!"
