Chapter Ninety-Three: Eighteen Generals
Lu Chuan stepped forward to prepare to enter Guanzhong.
In front of the city gates, there were two long lines of people who were going to enter the city, and they were far behind the drawbridge.
After all, Chentangguan is a border stop, and no matter who enters or leaves, they have to routinely line up for inspection.
Three holes were opened in the city.
However, the big one in the middle can only be entered and exited by high-ranking officials and nobles, as well as officers and soldiers, and ordinary people can only go to the small ones on both sides.
The sergeants inspected it very carefully, and as it got late, torches were lit on both sides of the gate.
When it was time for Lu Chuan, he handed over the baggage and gourd that he had taken off in advance.
"Where are the people, what is the matter with entering the customs?" asked the sergeant without raising his head as he checked Lu Chuan's baggage.
There was actually nothing special in the baggage, only a few sigils, a few taels of broken silver, and a green jade gourd.
"Master Jun, the poor road came from Chaoge, and on the orders of the family teacher, he traveled to the Quartet to practice. ”
Lu Chuan smiled and made a mockery.
At this time, there was no Buddhism, and the monk only refers to the entrance to the Tao, and after the entry, you can't get married without eating meat.
"From the royal capital?"
The sergeant raised his head in surprise, and saw a young Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe, and couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a low voice: "It's rare to see such a young Taoist leader. ”
Then, his gaze changed as he swept over the Zixiao Sword.
However, when the demons are raging today, the Taoist gate is prosperous, and there are often Taoist priests who go down the mountain to kill demons and protect the world, so they are very respected and loved by people.
Kind of a promising career.
In addition, the Terrans are still martial!
When many people go out, they have to bring one or two guys on their bodies to defend themselves, so the discipline of swords is relatively relaxed.
Lu Chuan entered the city smoothly.
By this time it was completely dark, but it was still early, and the houses on both sides of the street were lit up and there were pedestrians on the streets.
As for that kind of fireworks land, ahem, there is still no such thing at this time.
"Where should I go for a night?"
Lu Chuan looked at the endless stream, and he was a little dazzled by the unfamiliar place, there are restaurants here, but they do not provide inn-like accommodation services.
At this time, there was not even an inn, but there were post stations in the city of the world, which were run by the government and could provide accommodation for travelers who went out.
The premise is that you have to be rich, otherwise you still have to sleep on the street.
At this time, the nature of the post station was similar to that of the inn in the future, the only difference was that one was official and the other was private.
Chentangguan, as a big city with a border fortress, has to receive many people from all over the world every day, so there is a post house in the southeast, south, and northwest of the city, and the official is called Yicheng.
"Dao Chief, the guest rooms are divided into three classes, you see......"
The little post officer who received him smiled and looked Lu Chuan up and down.
"Medium is fine. ”
Lu Chuan looked at the price list on the sign, and took out a tael of silver from his sleeve: "The poor road is not very demanding, just try to be quiet, and have some food." ”
"Do you have any other requests?"
After taking the silver, the little post officer led Lu Chuan to the room.
"I didn't ...... By the way, where is the mansion of General Li in Chentangguan?" Lu Chuan suddenly thought of the purpose of coming here.
The general soldier is the supreme commander of a pass, and if he is outside the Great Shang, he is a prince all the way.
Li Jing is the chief soldier of Chen Tangguan, and the fact that he can do this step is enough to show his ability.
Today, there are eighteen of the most famous generals, each of whom is brave and good at fighting, and most of them are serving in Yin Shang.
Li Jing is also one of them, ranking twelve.
This is Li Jing's information.
However, Lu Chuan knew a little more, and he also knew that Li Jing had come out of Kunlun to learn the Five Elements Escape Technique.
Because of the poor root bones, it is difficult to become an immortal road and turn to the martial arts, and go down the mountain to assist Yin Shang, and guard the fortress Chentang Pass in the north of the Great Shang.
He gave birth to three excellent sons.
"The center of the city is the official residence of General Li Bing. ”
The young man smiled and said, "If you want to go, go straight three streets ahead and turn right." ”
"Thank you!"
Lu Chuan bowed his head slightly, saying that they had come to a hut.
The room is not big, and the dress is a little simple, but it is better to be clean, Lu Chuan nodded secretly.
After sending off the little post officer, Lu Chuan put down his burden and came to the bedside to look at the night sky.
A red star, which appears unusually bright.
"Although I know that Nezha is going to cause trouble and have a calamity, how can you see it, Master?"
Lu Chuan muttered to himself, shook his head and sat on the bed and began to cultivate.
It has been more than half a month since he obtained Xuangong, and he has stopped the cultivation of the "Five Elements True Beginning" and began to concentrate on cultivating the Eight or Nine Xuangong.
In fact, Shen Gongbao's "Five Elements Formula" is also an extremely extraordinary exercise.
After all, it was taught by Tianzun, and after cultivation, he could use the power of the five elements and use various five element spells, which was suitable for Shen Gongbao, who was proficient in a variety of Taoist techniques.
It's just that each of these exercises has its own strengths and weaknesses.
Although the "Five Elements Formula" is good, it can't make people ever-changing, and Lu Chuan's desire for eight or nine Xuangong is because he has taken a fancy to the power and usefulness of change.
It's just that this Xuangong is really as Yang Jian said, it is indeed not easy to practice, and after half a month, Lu Chuan has not gained anything.
Next.
After Lu Chuan had breakfast in the room, he put the silver and gourd in his sleeve, and then put the sword on his back and went out to the General Soldier's Mansion.
It's the beginning of May, and the weather is getting hotter.
According to the little post officer, he went to the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion after a short time.
At the gate, two sergeants in armor and swords at their waists stood guard facing outward.
"What do you do?"
The two of them had already seen Lu Chuan, but when they saw Lu Chuan coming straight to the General Soldier's Mansion, one of them stepped forward and asked, and the words were very polite.
Li Jingshi went out of the Xuanmen, and he didn't dare to forget his roots after going down the mountain, so he was very courteous and respectful to the Taoist priests, which they naturally knew.
Lu Chuan said: "Poor Dao and the third son of your family can be regarded as the same door, I came here to take a look today, and I bother you to go in and inform your master." ”
The two glanced at each other, and one of them clasped his fists and said, "It's really unfortunate that the Taoist chief is really unlucky." ”
"Oh?"
The sergeant looked around and said in a low voice: "For example, there is some peace today, my lord is busy with military affairs, and he has to go out early and return late every day to drill the three armies, and guard the pass, so he is not at home." ”
Lu Chuan bowed his head slightly.
He also knew that because the king of Xuan was too desperate to do things back then, he did something to kill his wife and father-in-law, so the four hundred princes in the east and south had already raised their banners against Shang.
The leader is Dong Bohou Jiang Wenhuan, who was originally the younger brother of Queen Jiang and the brother-in-law of King Xu.
It is said that he is brave and strong, strong in martial arts, and brave and good at fighting, and has the courage of ten thousand people, so he is also included in the eighteen generals in the world.
In order to avenge his father and sister, after he inherited the position of Dongbohou seven years ago, he took the two hundred princes of Donglu to rebel and waved 400,000 troops to the west to attack Chaoge.
It's a pity that if he wants to go east, he must break through the barrier of Chaoge Dongfang, and the one who guards the Wandering Soul Pass is also the veteran Dou Rong, one of the eighteen generals in the world.
Dou Rongshan defended the battle, and directly blocked Jiang Wenhuan's 400,000 army for seven years with one pass.
Now that it has been seven years, Jiang Wenhuan still hasn't broken through a wandering soul pass.
After Jiang Wenhuan couldn't attack for a long time, it was not impossible to change his thinking, take a detour to the north, turn to attack Chentang Pass, and then go south to take the route of Chaoge.
Therefore, Li Jingcai, who was guarding Chentang Pass, did his best to drill the troops, just in case.
"So, Poor Dao can't enter your door today?" Lu Chuan said lightly.
He came to help Nezha survive the catastrophe, to see if he could stop this little guy who didn't know the height of the sky from making a big mistake.
Today, he reported his fame, but if he couldn't even enter someone's door, wouldn't it make people laugh and lose their big teeth?
