Chapter 12 - Taiwei City, Lingxian Tower, Wen Jianxu
The next morning, after Lin Xuan accompanied the two girls to visit the market, after lunch, the three of them took their horses and left. Since Lin Xuan already had a plan in his heart, the three of them did not stop on the road any longer, and now that the three of them were in the hinterland of the Great Power Country, it was rare for refugees to wander around.
Taiwei City is more than 1,000 miles away from Lingwei City, the official road is wide, and both sides of the road are dominated by plains. To be precise, the whole country is dominated by plains, and the land is fertile. Because of its proximity to the ocean, the territory is dominated by swamps, and the miasma of poisonous insects is everywhere, which is extremely unsuitable for production, so the Great Xia Kingdom covets the fertile fields around Shanjie Town.
Lin Xuan's horses have now surpassed the level of a thousand-mile horse, and pedestrians on the road often only hear the sound of horses' hooves, and when they turn back, they have already flashed in front of their eyes, bringing up a gust of wind and dust. Passers-by all scolded and scolded, and then some envied such a good horse, and even more horse lovers wanted to ask where such a BMW came from, but they couldn't even see Lin Xuan's back, so they had to give up.
As the capital of the Great Wei Country, Taiwei City is located in the middle of the Great Wei Plain, with a radius of ten miles, and the surrounding fertile fields are more than ten thousand hectares. The city wall is ten zhang high, the arrow tower on the city wall is lined with flags, and the four corners of the southeast, northwest, and northwest are stationed the troops defending the city. In front of each gate, a team of 100 people stood to scrutinize passing pedestrians and vehicles, and the faint metal reflections on the walls indicated that it was a heavily guarded city.
Lin Xuan and the others saw the tower-like building in Taiwei City from a distance, and Lin Xuan knew from Long Taojia that this was the station of the Lingxian Gate in various countries. The Seven Kingdoms of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the Lingxian Gate has a garrison Lingxian Pagoda in the capitals of various countries, one is for the entry of apprentices every three years, and the other is to ensure that each country is not destroyed, but the personnel of each station will not interfere in the daily affairs of each country. Therefore, this time, the three sons of Dawei Kingdom seized the heir, and one battalion of each of the four battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest supported a prince, and the remaining Dongying was rumored to support Princess Zhao Xizhi, but Zhao Xizhi was a daughter's family, and it was not recognized in this feudal country. Although Zhao Xizhi is full of talent, the world is unfair.
Lin Xuan and the three of them finally arrived at the east gate of Taiwei City when the sun was setting, and at this time, there were only a dozen people left in the queue in front of the city gate, and Lin Xuan and the three of them were able to be directly inspected. However, a young man with two beautiful girls still attracted a lot of attention, especially Taxue and Lin Xuan rode together, the willow waist was tightly tied by Lin Xuan, the heat of Lin Xuan's palm came through his clothes, and his face was slightly red and very moving.
Although the soldiers guarding the gate also showed a hint of envy in their eyes, after all, they were from the mixed capital city, and they knew that some people could not afford to provoke them. Hurriedly retracted his eyes, took the road guide handed over by Lin Xuan, and was also shocked when he saw Zhao Zhan's double seal letter! Zhao Zhan is not only the king of Zhendong, but now most of the military power of the Great Power Kingdom is in his hands, and judging from the current situation, it is not impossible for Zhao Zhan, as the emperor's younger brother, to ascend the throne as the emperor after the emperor's death. Now there are rumors in the four major camps that the emperor is now worse than day by day, and he is speechless.
As soon as the soldier thought of this, he respectfully handed the road back to Lin Xuan, and made a military salute of great authority and put the three of them into the city.
Lin Xuan took the two girls and walked in the direction of the tower, and on the way, Lin Xuan and Taxue let go of the momentum of their cultivators, so as to inform the people in the tower and avoid some unnecessary trouble. Lin Xuan was already thinking about whether to bring a veil to the snow and the jacaranda, the jacaranda was as warm as water and the bewitching of the snow, especially after this period of training, the bewitching temperament that the snow tread unconsciously exuded was even more unbearable.
There are only a few monks in the Lingxian Pagoda, and on the top floor of the tower, a monk is cultivating, the monk is wearing an earth-colored robe, and a pill is embroidered on his chest, exuding a golden light, this is a monk in the Jindan period. The monks of the Lingxian Sect stationed in various countries are all in the Jindan stage, and the Pangu blessed land can only cultivate to the Yuan Infant stage. After arriving at Yuanying, the monk will go to the Great World to practice, after all, the laws of the blessed land are not complete. The clothing of Lingxian Gate is easier to identify: the Yuan Movement Period, the Foundation Building Period, and the Bigu Period are all lines, and the main attributes of each person are shaped, such as water patterns, fire patterns, etc.;
At this time, the aura of a Jindan stage and a Bigu period suddenly appeared in the spiritual consciousness of the Jindan monk, and he immediately withdrew from the cultivation state, walked out of the cultivation room, and instructed the boy standing aside: "There are fellow Daoists in the gate in the city coming, follow me down to greet them." ”
There are five floors in the tower, the ground floor is a place where some fairy gadgets are sold, for the world's magnates to buy for fun or to ward off evil spirits, the second, third and fourth floors are the residence and cultivation room of the monks in the Yuandong to the Bigu period, and the fifth floor is naturally the place where the Jindan monks live. Monk Jin Dan came down all the way and only stayed on the fourth floor for a while, called the three Bigu period monks on the fourth floor, and waited for Lin Xuan and the others to arrive in the hall on the first floor.
There are many dignitaries in the hall on the first floor who are shopping for some items, and when they see the Jindan monks, they all look sideways, how can the legendary powerful person who exists in the legend come downstairs today, it seems that he is still waiting for someone. This kind of immortal even needs to make an appointment if His Majesty the Emperor wants to meet him. However, the affairs of such big people are not something they can listen to, and after a few whispered conversations, they continue to choose the items that they or their female companions like, but the eyes at the door of the fragrance still betray their curiosity.
The closer he got to the Spirit Immortal Tower, Lin Xuan also felt the aura emanating from several cultivators in the tower. However, this person came and went, and Lin Xuan was not easy to gallop on the horse, so he could only drive the horse slowly. Monk Jindan waited for a while to see that no one came, and he couldn't help but think: These two Daoists couldn't have come on foot, right? Wouldn't it be a tea cup to fly with the Jindan Imperial Treasure flying this distance? He didn't know that Lin Xuan was a novice in cultivation, and he really didn't know that he could walk with the sword in the city, maybe Lin Xuan didn't want to be shocked? Or maybe he was too tired to take the two of them with the Snow Sword?
It wasn't until he walked through Fang City that there were fewer pedestrians on the avenue leading to the Lingxian Pagoda, Lin Xuan only clamped the horse's belly at this time, and the two horses snorted, knowing that the master allowed him to run, so he ran away, and these two horses are now more and more spiritual.
In a quarter of an hour, Lin Xuan and the others finally arrived at the Lingxian Tower, only to see that the tower was built with unknown stones, but the tower body was flickering, and there were four monks standing in front of the gate on the first floor. Lin Xuan looked at their clothes, one Jindan period, three Bigu periods, and knew that these were the three people with the highest cultivation in the Great Wei Kingdom.
While Lin Xuan was looking at others, Monk Jindan and the three monks from the Bigu Period were also looking at Lin Xuan and the others. Seeing that stepping on the snow was also the Jindan period, but it was faintly headed by Lin Xuan's Bigu period, he suddenly understood in his heart that this young man had a big backstage in the door, so he stepped forward to salute at the moment.
"Wen Jianxing, the steward of the Houtu Hall of the Contemptible Lingxian Gate in Dawei Country, has seen a few Taoist friends, and these are passers-by A, B, and C. I don't know which one of my friends is from my Lingxian Sect?" Wen Jianxing first introduced the people on his side, and then inquired about the origin of Lin Xuan and the others.
"Oh hehe, Wen Dao friendly. Xue'er, Master's token is for Wen Daoyou to look at. Lin Xuan returned the salute.
Taxue took out the token from the void ring and handed it to Wen Jianxing, Wen Jianxing's face changed when he saw the token, and when he took it, he hurriedly saluted again: "It turned out to be a disciple of Elder Taishang, Wen Jianxing greeted his uncle." ”
"Wen Daoyou is not a lot of courtesy, although I worship the master, but I am young, Daoyou can make such a big gift can make me at a loss. You and I can still be called Taoist friends, and I will introduce you to Taoist friends, this is my wife stepping on the snow. This is my younger sister Jacaranda who took in my apprenticeship on behalf of my teacher. "Long Taojia questioned Lin Xuan a little before, so Lin Xuan became the cheap uncle, but Wen Jianxing himself has done enough, and Lin Xuan is naturally easy to speak. Don't you hear that people respect me a foot, and I respect people?
Stepping on the snowflake tree also saluted, both of them were headed by Lin Xuan, since Lin Xuan was an equal, they naturally knew what to do, and passers-by A, B and C also hurriedly returned the salute.
When Taxue heard Lin Xuan say that she was a lady, she was overjoyed, but she still defended herself: "I am the maid of the son, not a lady." ”
"You, when did I treat you as a maid, I said you and my wife, you are. Isn't Xue'er willing to marry me?" Lin Xuan quipped. Taxue blushed and didn't dare to speak, and the jacaranda snickered on the side, seeing that the senior brother respected women so much, he was even more satisfied.
Wen Jianxing saw that Lin Xuan had a deep background but treated people gently, even if he treated the maid, he had respect for this young man in his heart, he had cultivated for decades, he had seen too many young people with a little background, and he was arrogant and did not know the height of the sky. Looking at the jacaranda again, he couldn't help but sigh: "What a congenital Five Elements Water Spirit Root, the vision of Daoyou is really good." ”
"Daoist friends can also see it, but I don't have a suitable exercise now, so I have to wait for the master to teach it. So when I entered the city, I was a little slower, so that Daoyou could wait for a long time. ”
After chatting a few words, Wen Jianxing led a few people to the tower, and the people in the hall had already secretly looked outside, and they were even more curious when they saw Wen Jianxing bowing to a young man, but they were also self-aware and did not dare to come forward to talk. However, there are many women who see that Lin Xuan is handsome, and his status is high, and they secretly flatter Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked at the distribution of the hall on the first floor, turned a blind eye to the flattering eyes thrown over, and went upstairs with Wen Jianxing. went up to the top floor, Wen Jianxing told the boy to make tea, and led the three of them into his reception room.
"I don't know if you have something important to do when you come to Dawei Country this time?" a few people sat down and asked.
"This is not enough, it is not a secret, I and Taxue Ben practiced in the big world, and then the master wanted to go to the fairy world, so he threw me into the Pangu blessed land, let me walk in the world to recuperate my mind, and the Great Power Country was my first stop. Lin Xuan took a sip of tea and said.
"A trip to the fairy world? Directly thrown into the Pangu blessed land? It seems that the Venerable Master is the great divine power ancestor in the door, and the Taoist is friendly and blessed. Wen Jianxing heard Lin Xuan say this, and he was even more shocked, as far as he knew, if people in the big world wanted to enter the blessed land, they needed to be jointly reviewed by several elders of the inner sect of the sect, and then the door master nodded, which directly crossed the elders and the door master and threw people in, except for those few ancestors who did not see the head of the divine dragon, others did not have this ability, and at the moment he smiled bitterly that the young man's seniority was too high, so he had to be called the ancestor of the uncle.
A few people chatted about cultivation matters, and after a while, a boy came to tell them that the dinner was ready, and a few uncles were invited to eat.
