Chapter 68: Tang Tianbao
The horse is in the autumn and the wind is long. Thousands of mountains cross rivers against the river. Juvenile travel, mighty and haohao, fast wind.
After staying in Yanyuju in Qingyang Town for ten days, Gu left them to bid farewell to Ren Pingsheng and continued to embark on the road to Datang. But the impact of these ten days on them is not insignificant. Under Ren Pingsheng's teachings, he changed some of his original cognitions and gained a lot of new knowledge.
In addition, Gu Li's cultivation has also reached the Huangting Realm, and there is only a line away from the Lotus Realm. And Luo Yi's understanding of kendo is also a little deeper. Although Ren Pingsheng is not a sword cultivator, he is profound, knowledgeable, and his views on kendo are also very comparable.
There is also Mu Shen, through Ren Pingsheng's guidance, he has begun to condense the method of Tianchong and impact towards the fourth realm. Cen Yao, on the other hand, was depressed, and Ren Pingsheng had no choice, but just taught her some principles of how to behave in the world. It is not the same as Lu Chengzhi's teachings Cen Yao.
The most important thing, and the most rewarding, is Ren Pingsheng's rules and principles of doing things, which have a great impact on them.
"Sir should have left Qingyang Town now. β
Walking on the road on horseback, Gu Li sighed a little. The gratitude and admiration for Ren Pingsheng have been deeply imprinted in my heart.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. is the first person I admire when I grow up so big!" Mu Shen replied. He has always looked down on scholars and Confucian cultivators, but after ten days of studying in Yanyuju, he has changed this view in his heart. It turns out that a scholar can be so chic and detached.
Because Ren Pingsheng was alone, Mu Shen changed his previous inherent views on the world's scholars! Of course, the same is true for Gu Li and Luo Yi Cen Yao's two daughters. Benefit.
"Mr. Ren is indeed an amazing person, and his knowledge is profound, even those gentlemen in our White Emperor City Shenwang Academy Palace are difficult to match!" Luo Yi also sighed very much, and spoke highly of Ren Pingsheng.
The "Shenwang School Palace" in the White Emperor City is one of the ten great palaces of Confucianism in the world, with sages sitting in the town, preaching and teaching, how transcendent. However, Luo Yi said that even the gentleman of the Shenwang Academy Palace could not compare to Ren Pingsheng!
"Mr. Ren is open-minded and tranquil. Only that transcendent temperament is rare in the world! It is mild and makes people feel like a spring breeze, and the heart is relaxed. He is really a god man, and I don't know who he is. Cen Yao was also emotional. But it is no different, the four people's evaluation of Ren Pingsheng is extremely high.
"The mountains and rivers are far and wide, and after a long time, I don't know if I can reunite with my husband in the future. β
"In all the partings in the world, there will always be reunions. I believe that our fate with Mr. Ren has not yet come to an end, but is just the beginning. But when we meet in the future, we have to cultivate to the great cultivators, otherwise we won't be able to face the master. β
"Yes, Sir expects a lot from us. Nor can we disappoint him. β
"Young man, come on, anyway, I will definitely become a great cultivator at that time. β
"Don't be scared, it won't be long before I catch up with you!"
"Giggles. β
......
Leaving Qingyang Town and continuing north for 800 miles, you will arrive at the boundary of Datang. Gu left the world where they had walked for most of the day, and they had reached the boundary line. Then step out. Left the land of Nanyue and stepped into the Tang Dynasty!
"Finally left Nanyue!" Gu Lihuai smiled, physically and mentally happy. From the beginning of summer to the end of autumn, they walked for two whole seasons, experienced thousands of mountains and rivers, and many things, and finally came to the Tang Dynasty.
The White Emperor City is located in Wangzhou in the east of the Tang Dynasty, adjacent to the foot of Dongyue! Now they are one step closer to there. It may be possible to arrive next spring.
And now they are one of the three states south of the Tang River, and the southernmost state bordering Nanyue. Qingzhou!
Datang Qingzhou!
A small border town.
When night fell, Gu Li and they arrived in this small city and found an inn to rest. The moonlight is sprinkled and the ground is silvery. The moon in late autumn is even more lonely and cold, but it is also the most beautiful. The town is brightly lit, and the streets are crowded with people. The night market is lively.
Gu Li and the four of them walked on the streets at night and went to a small noodle restaurant in the night market.
The shopkeeper greeted them, and at a glance they could see that their clothes were not Tang costumes. So it was concluded that Gu Li and they were not from the Tang Dynasty. However, the small city is originally on the border of Qingzhou, and it is far away from Nanyue, and there are many Nanyue people living in it. So that's not a surprise.
The service attitude of the store is excellent, and the noodles are unique to Qingzhou, Qingzhou beef noodles. The soup is refreshing, spicy and delicious, and the price is also cheap, only two taels of silver are charged for a bowl. There is also a lot of beef, which can be described as good and cheap, and it is very exciting to eat.
The only downside is that the bowl is a little small. With the amount of food Gu Li and Mu Shen, one bowl is not enough at all. After all, it is the age of the long body.
Therefore, Gu Li ate two bowls and Mu Shen ate three bowls. Luo Yi and Cen Yao were dumbfounded. Even the rest of them are staggering. These two teenagers are too good to eat! This amount of food is definitely a cultivator. How can ordinary people eat so much?
It's also a wonderful thing. Great cultivators can live in the world for a long time without eating or drinking, eating and drinking, and feeding on the vitality of heaven and earth. However, the monks of the Lower Five Realms have to eat, and the amount of food is huge, and one person can eat one pot when he is ruthless. The main reason is that when the food is eaten, it can be directly refined and absorbed with true qi. There is no need to digest it like a normal person.
After eating and drinking, they walked around the streets, appreciated the customs of the small town, and saw many things and customs that were different from the small border town of Nanyue. They were amazed. At midnight, they returned to the inn to practice. Early in the morning of the second day, he rode out of the town and continued his journey north.
Qingzhou is different from the second-rate states of the six countries of Nanyue, but it is a super state! The land of one state, like the country of Nanyue, is so vast that it is much larger than Hengzhou, the largest state in Nanyue. Therefore, if you want to cross Qingzhou, it will take some days. In addition, Qingzhou, as one of the three states in the south of the Yangtze River, has many waterways and is one of the main modes of transportation.
Gu left them for a while, walked a section of waterway, and for a while, walked a section of land official road, and headed towards the prosperous place in the center of Qingzhou. But this conversion of land and water is not troublesome, and it is very simple. The ferry will stop at each port to pick up passengers, which is very convenient.
"Where is the most prosperous place in Qingzhou?" asked Gu Li as he looked at Luo Yi, who was walking side by side.
This is one of the nine states of the Tang Dynasty, the most fertile and rich, how can it be compared with those second-rate states in Nanyue. As long as you walk through the border land, there are countless ancient and magnificent cities, mountains and rivers, many sect families, and the peak of cultivation, and the power of one state is enough to easily destroy Nanyue and one country!" Luo Yi replied.
"You mean there is no most prosperous place, all the same?" Gu Li asked again.
β...... That's not it, the most prosperous place in Qingzhou is Qingzhou City, which is the main city of Qingzhou. The Tang Dynasty Qingzhou Mu sat there, commanding the civil officials of the imperial court to govern the major counties and counties of Qingzhou, and the military attachΓ© and the army of the Wuhou Mansion guarded Qingzhou. In addition, there are the most prosperous families in Qingzhou. It is much more prosperous than the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty. β
Luo Yi replied slowly. Although she has never been to Qingzhou City, she has been to Wangzhou City before. It is also the main city of Tang Wangzhou, and it is a big city at the same level as Qingzhou City, so it should be about the same as Qingzhou City. At least the official system of the imperial court is the same.
"Okay, then let's go straight to Qingzhou City! Gu Li replied loudly when he heard this, quite a little arrogant. Since it is a journey, it is necessary to see the best scenery and drink the most beautiful wine! Moreover, with Luoyi's temperament, I think that I have already planned the walking route, which will inevitably pass through Qingzhou City!
"Haha, Brother Gu's words won my heart. Mu Shen smiled from the side and agreed.
"Giggles, let's go. Luo Yi pursed her lips and smiled. It seems that Gu Li knows his thoughts very well. This guy has changed a lot these times. It's not as regular as when we first met, but a bit of a chicken thief. I don't know if his own nature is revealed, or if he has learned badly with Mu Shen.
In this way, they drove for three days in a row, and Gu Li walked two or three thousand miles away from them, passing through a male city, but did not enter the city. Finally stop in a small town.
The small towns here are much more prosperous than those towns in Nanyue. It's like a small town. Among them, the people are dense, the business is prosperous, and the scale is complete, which is no worse than those small cities in Nanyue. Moreover, here, the Tang Dynasty also built a school.
In general, there are no Confucian academies in small cities or small towns in the world, and only the prosperous cities and academic centers of various countries have Confucian academies to teach and teach. And many towns in the Nanyue Kingdom don't even have a school. It is not easy for poor families to study.
However, in Datang, almost every place above the town basically has a school established by the imperial court to teach and educate people. Although it is not as powerful as the Confucian Academy, it is also of great help to the children of ordinary people.
The town was bustling with people, and they were in a teahouse, drinking tea and resting, looking out the window at the passers-by in the streets and alleys below. They are all dressed in Tang costumes with different appearances. And the food, housing and transportation in the town are all standard Tang cultural customs.
In the teahouse, there is also a storyteller, holding a ring ruler on the first floor of the teahouse, talking eloquently, not knocking on the tables and chairs in front of him, fiddling with ventriloquism. Attracted the praise of the guests. It's fascinating to listen to.
"In the sixteenth year of Tianbao, it is rumored that a big demon dragon was born in Yuanzhou in the north, devouring many people in Yuanzhou, and causing the Kyushu Changhe River to overflow and burst the embankment, causing unpredictable losses. The imperial court was shaken and a martial arts powerhouse was sent to suppress it. The immortal walked to the Jiaolong Cave alone with a knife, and only one knife was made, which was to kill the Jiaolong that caused disaster to the world, and alarmed the people of a state......"
The storyteller's tone was impassioned, his mouth was like a river, and he told a bloody story and rumors, which made the people of the town present sigh again and again. More and more associations with immortals. At the same time, a sense of heroism rose in their hearts, but they also sighed how they were not cultivators.
"Sixteen years of Tianbao, how many years is it now?"
Gu Li and the others also finished listening to Mr. Storyteller's story, and then they all looked at Luo Yi and asked. I knew in my heart that this "Tianbao" should be the name of the Tang Dynasty.
There were five major dynasties in Middle-earth, namely Great Xia, Great Shang, Great Zhou, Great Qin, and Great Tang. Since ancient times, Middle-earth has flourished, and the country has been governed by the concept of Confucianism, which almost represents the human race in the Great Domain of Middle-earth. All of them are Megatron.
The five major dynasties all have people ruling the world, and the emperor has established the year name to the year and month, and the whole dynasty outline. To command the civil and military officials, the dynasty military and political. Of course, the era name is not unique, if there is a new emperor to succeed to the throne or the era name has an impact on the national fortune, the era name will be changed. However, the situation of the new emperor succeeding to the throne is too rare.
After all, the Emperor of the People, as the Emperor of the Human Race, is blessed by the Purple Star in the sky. In the whole world, there is hardly anyone who can influence the human emperor.
The Tang Dynasty occupied the vast land in the southeast of Middle Earth, bordered the two mountains in the southeast, and adjacent to the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty. It is also the closest dynasty to the East China Sea. And the current era name of the Tang Emperor is "Tianbao".
Datang Tianbao.
"It is now the thirty-third year of Tianbao, and fifteen years have passed since the eighteenth year of Tianbao. Luo Yi replied.
"So this gentleman remembers it very well!" Mu Shen smacked his lips when he heard this. Fifteen years ago, it's still being talked about today......
