After riding a horse for 1,800 miles and traveling for ten days, Gu Li and Luo Yi finally came to the most prosperous capital in the land of Southern Chu, Jiangling City.

Standing on the official road and looking around, I saw that there was only three miles ahead, a thick and tall city wall blocked on the official road, the magnificent city gate was wide open, and the three strong characters of "South City Gate" were engraved on it, and the pedestrians were endless, and the crowd was like a tide.

"It is worthy of the capital of Southern Chu, and the crowd in front of the gate of the southern city alone is worth everyone in Qingyang Town. Gu Li and the two led the horse and approached the city gate, and they couldn't help but sigh.

"However, the vast majority of people are ordinary people, and there are very few cultivators. Luo Yi said lightly, this is diametrically opposed to the White Emperor City.

The aura and temperament of a cultivator and an ordinary person are very different, and it can be seen at a glance. Ordinary people mostly have the breath of red dust, while cultivators are mostly out of the breath of dust.

"Definitely. Gu Li nodded, which was easy to see. "It's just a small country, after all. ”

"Let's go into town. Luo Yi was a little impatient, urged Gu Li, and took the lead. Although the gates were guarded, they did not control the entry of those who came into the city, no matter where they came from. Therefore, the two of them walked into Gangneung City smoothly.

Nanchu many rivers and rivers, this Jiangling city is built on both sides of a big river, there is a bridge every other distance, there are many boats in the big river, the willows flutter on both sides of the river, the streets and official roads on both sides are all pavilions and pavilions, row upon row, and well organized, the pedestrians on the streets are crowded, all kinds of shops, small stalls, markets are next to each other, it can be said that it is extremely prosperous.

"The city is so beautiful. ”

Gu Li and Luo Yi led their horses across a bridge in front of the South City Gate, looked around, and took a general look at the surrounding scene.

Of course, judging from the signs on the map, the battle area of Jinling City is six hundred miles in circumference, which can be described as extremely vast, and this alone is not even inferior to the White Emperor City by a few points.

There is a "Jialing River" flowing through the city, and even the royal palace was built on it, and Gangneung Fortress and other names are also derived from this. After thousands of years, this city is the largest and most prosperous capital of Southern Chu, although it is not a famous city in the world, but it is also a first-class city.

And Jiangling City has an elegant beauty of the blending of mountains and rivers, which is unique, and the business is prosperous, and there are many strange things, so there are more than ordinary cultivators in the entire Southern Chu are gathered here.

"Actually, I'm a little puzzled, why can Nanchu be a small country for so long and not be destroyed by the world's most prosperous dynasty?" Gu Li and Luo Yi were already drinking and resting in a high-rise building at this time, watching the river view and the street below.

"Haven't you read a lot of books, why don't you even know this?" Luo Yi smiled when he heard this.

"I used to read a lot of strange things and Confucian orthodoxy, as well as some records about spiritual practice, but I didn't read much about the geography, and I didn't know much about it. Gu Li sneered.

"I see. Luo Yi nodded and looked at Gu Lidao, "No wonder your temperament is so elegant." is also a serious reader. ”

But the answer is not what he asked.

After a few Gu Li, Luo Yi smiled even more on his face, and explained to him, "There are five continents in the world, and our human race mainly lives in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, you know that there are five major heroic cities in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, so you should also know the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, right?"

"Naturally, I know that the three ancient sacred mountains, the five immortal mountains, the three major sects in the world are built on those three sacred mountains, and use them as the foundation to build a huge city, and surround the sacred mountain in the city, this is the third of the five great male cities, plus your White Emperor City, and the fairy sword city, it is the five major male cities in the world. ”

"As for the Wuyue Immortal Mountain, it is rumored that there are immortals in the five directions of the Middle-earth Divine Continent, and they are also ancient Taoist systems, ruling the vast territory around them. In a sense, it can be regarded as the five realms of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and its strength is no less than that of the five major heroic cities. Even the worldly dynasties dare not take offense. "What Gu Li said was the Tao.

For these world-famous ones, such as the Three Sects, the Soldiers, the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, and the Five Great Cities, they are almost known to the whole world, and he naturally knows them.

"That's it. Luo Yi added: "Although Nanchu is only a small country, it is one of the "Six Kingdoms of Nanyue" under the rule of "Nanyue", one of the Five Mountains of Immortal Mountains. And its real name was originally called Chu State, because of Nanyue, it was called Southern Chu. Because of this, the great dynasties of the world will not destroy it. ”

"I see. Gu Li suddenly realized, and saw Luo Yi's gaze on him, "Although Gu Li, although you have read a lot of books, you know too little about this world and the cultivation world, and you don't know anything about human affairs. After all, as the sages said, "cultivation is also the cultivation of the mind", and you can't break through the realm, so you don't think it's because the cultivation of the mind is not hot enough. ”

"Taught!" Gu Li clasped his fists and performed the etiquette of a scholar to the girl.

"Poof!" Luo Yi covered her mouth and smiled, secretly saying in her heart why this guy is still naughty.

"As you just said, I want to ask, where is your White Emperor City?" Gu Liyou asked a question, looking eager to learn and tireless.

After leaving Jiangling City, he has to continue to go north with Luo Yi to the White Emperor City, naturally he should also understand the specific location of the White Emperor City first, after all, the Middle-earth Divine Continent is hundreds of millions of miles of vast land, endless cities, if you don't know the location of a city, it is almost impossible to find it. Although Luo Yi knew it himself, he also wanted to understand.

"Specifically, the White Emperor City is located in the northwest of Southern Chu, but it is adjacent to the boundary of Dongyue, but it is not the Dongyue force, but the boundary of Wangzhou of the Tang Dynasty. Wangzhou is much better than this Southern Chuliang Prefecture. ”

However, one thing in common is that the White Emperor City and the Jiangling City were both built in the Great River Basin, and the Great River was much larger than the "Jialing River", which was the largest river in the Tang Dynasty, called the "Tang Long River", and the river had been flowing eastward, flowing through the Dongyue Kingdoms and flowing into the East China Sea. ”

"......" Luo Yi slowly told Gu Li about the location of the White Emperor City, which was quite detailed.

"The Tang Dynasty, with its endless territory, hundreds of millions of people, and countless cultivators, has been one of the several major dynasties in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and it has been prosperous for thousands of years, and its status cannot be shaken at all. Gu Li sighed, he didn't expect the White Emperor City to be in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

"That's true. Luo Yi also nodded, the world's major dynasties are too prosperous, inherited since ancient times, and almost represent the entire human race.

"Are you sure that this place is only a hundred thousand miles away from White Emperor City?" At this time, Gu Li didn't even believe the distance Luo Yi said before. Nanchu is too far away from Datang.

"Pretty much, I'm not sure. But it can definitely be reached in a year," Luo Yimei's eyes flickered, and her tone weakened slightly.

"......" Gu Li had to pray in his heart, but it would be better not to leave for a year and a half, and he would have to return to Yunshen in three years.

"Alright, don't talk so much, it's almost time to rest now, let's go to the city first. To be honest, this Gangneung Fortress is really beautiful and prosperous. Luo Yi stood up and looked at the pavilion in the distance, and then pulled Gu Li out of the restaurant.

"Let's go find an inn and set these two horses in place, we'll have to stay tonight anyway. Leading the horses on the street, Gu Li felt that he had to find a post station first and place the two horses. It's too troublesome to always walk in the downtown like this.

"It's fine. Luo Yi nodded, and then found a good big inn in the more prosperous area of Jiangling City and stayed there. Luoyi's family has a big business, and I don't know how much silver is in the bag before going out, anyway, everything is according to the highest standards.

Gu Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the young lady of a wealthy family is happy, with endless silver and inexhaustible cultivation resources. Look at myself who just came down the mountain, he is simply poor and white, in addition to the one hundred taels of silver given by Luo Yi that day, there are also two scriptures and some worthless clothes from the teacher.

Even those two books, it has been nearly two months since they went down the mountain, and Gu Li has never had time to read them.

It was getting late, so the two of them simply rested for one night, and tomorrow they were visiting this Gangneung City, anyway, it would be harmless in the world for a day or two.

After finishing the meal, Gu Li and Luo Yi both returned to their rooms.

After two months of running, the young man was also very tired, so he directly put down his practice, let go of everything, and fell asleep. It's time to take a good rest, these days of hurrying, most nights, Gu Li and the others are resting in the mountains, which can be described as eating and sleeping.

And Luo Yi is the same, he put aside his practice for the time being and relaxed. Up to now, she has been away from White Emperor City for nearly a year, although most of the time is on the road, but she has experienced a lot, she almost died in the Mochizuki Mountain Range two months ago, and her attendants are all dead, if it weren't for meeting this handsome young man, it is difficult to imagine what a person's return is like.

But fortunately, I still met someone who could go with me. Thinking of this, a gentle smile rose at the corner of Luo Yi's mouth, slowly closed his eyes, and then fell into a deep sleep.

When night falls, Gangneung Fortress is brightly lit up, illuminating the night sky, and the streets, pavilions, and boats in the river are all brightly lit, reflecting the bright stars in the sky.

The bright moonlight illuminates Gangneung Fortress and shines upside down in the river.

The night market also began at this time, and the hustle and bustle was not inferior to the scene during the day, with all kinds of shouts and shouts one after another. The prosperity of the ancient city, day and night.

The most brilliant place is the palace of the king of Southern Chu in the central area of Jiangling City, the palace of King Xiang.

It's just that all of this has nothing to do with the sleeping teenager. He had two dreams, one sweet and one terrible nightmare.

The sweet dream was to go to the White Emperor City with Luo Yi and be entertained by good students. The nightmare, however, was burned by endless fire, no one could save him, and many big demons attacked, as if to tear his body apart.

......

Following.

The sun was shining, Gu Li and Luo Yi finished breakfast, left the inn, walked onto the street, and began to look at the capital of Southern Chu.
