Chapter 69: Jiangnan

"In the twenty-fourth year of Tianbao, it is said that the imperial city of Chang'an has four elephant beasts - the green dragon appeared, and that night the eastern green dragon was full of stars, echoing the central purple microstar. This incident caused a shock in the Manchu Dynasty, and even alarmed His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting in the Daming Palace. The national teacher and the Confucian sages of the Tang Academy asserted that the Tang Dynasty Tianbao would usher in its heyday! Therefore, the name Tianbao was regarded as a representative of auspiciousness, and it has been used to this day! In the twenty-seventh year of Tianbao, we ...... in the three states south of the Yangtze River.

The storyteller talked eloquently and endlessly, telling many court anecdotes during the Tang Tianbao period, all of which were full of mythology, which made the ordinary people in the teahouse infinitely reverie and excited.

"Did the divine beast Qinglong really appear in Chang'an City!?" Mu Shen asked Luo Yi with some incredulity. As the head of the four elephant beasts, the green dragon represents the seven nights of the oriental green dragon and guards the world. There are so many rumors about Him in the world, and the world worships and worships Him. It is rumored that He has survived the ninety-nine heavenly tribulations and is immortal. Actually appeared in the Tang Imperial City!?

"Yes. Luo Yi nodded, "It's been nine years since this happened, and I was still young at that time, and I hadn't yet stepped into the Yuan Chu Realm. However, many great cultivators in White Emperor City went to Chang'an to wait and see when they heard about this, including my father, who also went to investigate in person. I heard that even the big names of other dynasties and the Wuyue Immortal Court had people who went to Chang'an. After all, the Qinglong is in the world, even the human emperor will not be able to sit still!"

"In this way, the Tang Dynasty really has a sign of prosperity, is this the trend of being the head of the five dynasties of Middle-earth?"

"That's not that powerful, the strength of the five major dynasties of Middle-earth is about the same, otherwise it wouldn't be the top of the five sides of Middle-earth. However, it is recognized in the world that the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is located in the center, is the most powerful. Because the Wu Temple and the Wu Sheng are located in the Imperial City of the Great Zhou. The combat power of the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the first in the world, invincible, and unbreakable. But other aspects are not easy to say. ”

"Didn't you say that the Temple of Literature is in Chang'an City?"

"After all, the Temple of Literature is a holy place for scholars, not a holy place for martial arts generals who fought the world, so the military officers and horses of the Tang Dynasty must not be as strong as the Great Zhou, but the civil officials are more prosperous than the military attaches of the Great Zhou. And the same is true of the Tang court itself. ”

"In this way, I think it is necessary for us to go to Chang'an City to have a look! By the way, why is the Tang Imperial City not among the 'five great cities in the world'?"

"The Five Great Male Cities are the famous cities of the land of the immortals outside the Fangwai, and their cultivation is at their peak. And Chang'an City is the imperial city of the secular dynasty, so it is not included in the five major cities. However, the imperial cities of the five major dynasties of Middle-earth are definitely the largest and oldest cities in the world, they carry the luck of the dynasty and the imperial road, and I don't know how many immortals and sages are in charge. ”

"I see......"

In the evening, they left the teahouse and returned to the inn to rest. Or to continue to practice.

Gu Li is now a master of the Huang Ting Realm, his body, flesh and qi have been cast, and he has reached the level of Dacheng, and his physical strength is enough to reach tens of thousands of catties, even if he is placed in the military ranks of the imperial courts of various countries, he can also be a centurion.

Next, he will begin to comprehend the momentum of heaven and earth, and prepare for the casting of the Great Dao Lotus Platform. When you step into the lotus realm, there will be a qualitative leap in strength.

Gu Li comprehended the mental method of "Participating in the Deed", and with the trajectory he described, the true qi of the whole body operated in the meridians and tricks of the whole body, and ran one small Zhou Tian. A true qi vortex was formed in the sea of qi, constantly condensing, seducing the momentum of heaven and earth......

Following. The weather was sunny and the sky was high and cloudy.

The climate in the small town of Jiangnan is warm, warmer than those places in Nanyue. Many of the trees have green leaves. This is the unique climate of the three states south of the Tang River. Even all parts of Nanyue do not have it. Even in winter, it's rare to see snow drifting. People still don't have to wear cotton clothes.

As for autumn, it's hardly any different from summer. It's late autumn now, and there is a little bit of autumn.

The autumn harvest is over, and every household in the town has crops hanging on the railings at the end of the wall and drying in the sun. Corn, sorghum...... But the most of them are rice. The red, red, yellow and yellow colors decorate the streets and alleys of the town, and there is a unique simple atmosphere of a farmer, which makes people seem to have a little more relaxed.

There is a small river that flows at the west end of the town, and there is a wooden bridge every ten zhang on the other side, and in the river, there are also goose and yellow-haired ducks raised by farmers. are chasing each other and playing in the water. Quack.

Gu Li's four people walked through this small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and their mood was a little softer.

I'm not a returnee, I'm just a passerby.

Then, go to the Thousand Mountains.

The scenery along the way is picturesque.

Calm and peaceful. It is like a beautiful landscape map.

Cen Yao practiced landscape prints, and engraved these landscape pictures in his heart, for practice. And these many prosperous and beautiful things have made her long-sealed heart gradually thaw, and the whole person is much more active. Talking and laughing with Luo Yi along the way, just like a seventeen-year-old girl should look like.

Gradually, the landscape world manifested by her landscape prints will be condensed and wider.

And Gu Li's mountains and rivers in the sea of qi, every time he walks through a section of mountains and rivers, he can absorb the power of mountains and rivers and refine his physical body qi sea, like a treasure weapon to accelerate his cultivation. Along the way, while enjoying the scenery, he has been taking the opportunity to condense the momentum of heaven and earth to cast a lotus platform.

Although it has not yet condensed into a heavy heaven and earth trend, his aura is also a little stronger than some time ago.

Passing through a lotus lotus, the lotus flower is in full bloom and undefeated, Luo Yi is in a very good mood, he snatches his sword and sweeps away, jumping in the lotus, and cultivating the Qinglian sword technique. The girl's clothes fluttered, and the green silk danced with the sword qi Qinglian, like a person in a painting. The lotus flowers in the pond are all at her feet, swaying in the wind.

The Qinglian Sword Technique has an inseparable relationship with the lotus.

Mu Shen rode a donkey into a valley bred with wind and thunder, and was overwhelmed by the thunder. When he came out, the boy was fine except for his clothes and a little scorched face.

And the little donkey, or Razor, absorbed a lot of thunder origin in the valley and used it to restore his divine element.

On the ferry to Qingzhou City, there was a rich and noble man in gorgeous clothes who was frivolous and unruly, so that his subordinates beat the man who refuted him before he was beaten. Ling De Gu Li and they remembered the second son of Nanhou Shen Ting in the town of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Shen Wanyi. Some people on board were afraid, some dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and some people came forward to stop it. It's just that this time, Gu Li hasn't made a move yet, and the situation has been resolved.

It turned out that the person who was beaten by the rich and noble son was actually a subordinate of a branch of the family who was going to look at Qingzhou City. When the noble prince heard the name of the great family in Qingzhou City, his legs immediately softened. Hurriedly apologized. The tone trembled. After all, who in the land of Qingzhou doesn't know the prestige of that family in Qingzhou City?

There are also scholars from all over Qingzhou who gather on this boat, and they want to rush to Qingzhou City to participate in the imperial court's literary examination and gain fame. Now that they are gathered in one place, it is naturally inevitable to talk about poetry and classics, show off their talents, and compete with the people next to them.

There are scholars, naturally martial arts are indispensable, they either go to Qingzhou City to participate in the imperial court martial arts test, or go to enlist in the army, or apprentice to learn art. At this moment, he is also showing off his skills on the ship, dancing swords and guns. Attract the attention of others.

Ten days later, before they arrived in Qingzhou City, the four of them got off the boat and continued to walk on the official road.

Sightseeing. There are many wonderful landscapes along the way, and they naturally don't want to miss it.

In the twilight, they entered a small mountain village. It's called Zao Village.

The reason why Zao Village is called Zao Village is because the trees in the whole village are all jujube trees. Jujube trees all over the mountains. At this moment, it is the time when the dates are ripe, and the big red dates full of mountains and trees are greedy. Even on the ground, a great deal fell off. The village didn't have that much manpower to pick all the dates, so they had to let them fall.

Mu Shen climbed up the tree and put all the big red dates of the entire tree into the Qiankun bag in one go, and then laughed loudly: "Eating more dates can replenish blood and qi." It can also be used to make tea and brew wine, and the pharmacist will also use it in medicine, which is a good thing, I will save more. ”

"Alright, there are a lot of them, you can take them all off. ”

"I'll help you. Gu Li jumped away, picked red dates while eating, and included them in the Qiankun bag.

The two of them look like monkeys.

They stayed in Zao Village for three days, and the villagers were very simple and enthusiastic, and they entertained four outsiders, killed chickens and ducks, and dug up several autumn vegetables in the countryside to stir-fry.

There is a young man named Ah Niu, who is the same age as them, but unfortunately his family is poor, so he can only work in the small town to herd cattle and help his parents farm. However, Ah Niu is also a positive young man, and he never says that he cries. He also loves to read. Every book in his hand will be turned over.

Ah Niu saw that Gu Li's four young people were like scholars, so they were very enthusiastic, so he placed them in his small house and entertained them, and he went to live with an old ox in the cowshed. After finishing work during the day, I asked some questions from the book at night. Fortunately, Gu Li and Cen Yao were able to answer. Ah Niu applauded happily again and again.

When parting, Luo Yi left 1,000 taels of silver for the villagers. Although this money is not of great use to her, sometimes it is not enough for a meal, but for the villagers, it is a huge amount of money!

And Cen Yao gave a few books he carried with him to Ah Niu. Ah Niu cried gratefully.

Gu Li and Mu Shen didn't have anything to give, so they helped the village build several agricultural installations in the past three days. Helped the villagers to extradite a stream into the village.

The Tang Dynasty was at its peak, but there were also some poor villages, located in the deep mountains and forests, and no one knew about them. Even the court officials in the county did not know about their lives.

The name of the village thanked them for their help, but they could not repay it, so they gave it a straw ring.

After leaving Zao Village, he climbed several mountains. They met a snake demon and cultivated to the four realms. The venom spewed out, causing all the plants and trees within a radius of ten zhang to wither. The snake demon was fierce and attacked them directly, but with their current ability, the four of them joined forces, which was enough to fight the snake demon of the four realms. In the end, the snake demon was injured and fled, and was killed by Luo Yi with a sword.

Later, while taking a boat ride in a lake, he alarmed a river demon. It's just that this river demon has actually entered the Five Realms! It is the master of this lake and the land within a radius of thousands of miles, and is regarded by the local people as a god in the river. The Five Realms River Demon, Gu Li's four people couldn't fight with it at all, so they had to flee the lake in a panic, and they were almost left in the lake, and the process was very thrilling.

A fisherman saw the fierce appearance of the river demon, and threw the fish he caught as if he had seen a ghost, and ran away desperately, and then thought that he would not regard him as a river god.

Of course, they also picked a dry bone flower on a steep cliff. An extremely rare white elixir. The year is approaching a thousand years! It is a superb elixir.

Eventually, they found the official road and continued on horseback. Direction to Qingzhou City.

The autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is long, and the years are long.
