Chapter 4: Nanjing (3rd Update!)
At the end of November, Gu Changqing and Kill finally came to Nanjing.
Since the last post battle, the two of them have been calm all the way, and Zhuge Qiu has not come back, and I don't know if he is too injured or busy.
This saved Gu Changqing's worries.
Gu Changqing also specially asked about killing for this matter.
"Have you heard of the Zhuge family?"
Killing the ribs were broken and he could only lie down, looking unimpressed: "Which Zhuge family?"
"Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. ”
"I heard that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the last descendant died with the martyrdom of the emperor. ”
"Have you ever heard of the side branches?"
"Does the Zhuge family have a side branch?"
Having said this, Gu Changqing gradually understood.
From the time he used the Star Technique in front of Zhuge Qiu, and there was no voice from Zhuge Si, he thought of this.
Zhuge Qiu is not a real descendant of the Zhuge family.
and Liu Dayong, who should have an inextricable relationship with Zhuge Qiu.
If the guess is correct, Liu Dayong should be a back-up move arranged by Zhuge Qiu, but Liu Dayong has successfully learned the whereabouts of the Eight Array Diagram, but Zhuge Qiu came to find him, from this point of view, Liu Dayong should have betrayed Zhuge Qiu.
So, what is the relationship between Zhuge Si and Zhuge Qiu?
Zhuge Si is dead, I'm afraid only Zhuge Qiu knows.
Gu Changqing had a hunch that he would continue to entangle the Eight Array Diagram.
However, now that he has come to Nanjing, the matter of Shu is not taken care of for the time being.
Nanjing, the capital of the Six Dynasties, has always had the reputation of being a dragon.
After Emperor Taizong moved the capital to Beijing, Nanjing became the capital of Liu, but the largest city in the world is still Nanjing.
Nanjing, like Beijing, has six ministries and Guozijian.
The Guozijian in Beijing is generally called the North Prison, and the Guozijian in Nanjing is generally called the South Prison.
Zhu Jianming's letter of recommendation only gave Gu Changqing the qualifications to enter the country's prison, and as for whether he can enter or not, it depends on Gu Changqing himself.
There are generally two situations when entering the Guozijian, one is that the descendants of the emperor's relatives can enter directly as long as they have a Taoist heart, and the other is that the Guozijian openly accepts apprentices.
The time for the public acceptance of prisoners is uncertain, and no one can say for sure.
Gu Changqing is not a relative of the emperor, relying on Zhu Jianming's letter of recommendation, he can only go to meet the officials of the country, if he performs well, maybe this official will accept him as an apprentice on Zhu Jianming's letter of recommendation.
If you don't perform well, you can only ask for more blessings.
The south prison is at the foot of the chicken coop mountain, in front of the four archways, west to the Xiang River, south to the Pearl Bridge, east to the small camp, the scale is large, stretches for ten miles, and the lights shine brightly.
There are more than 2,000 buildings in it, such as warehouses, classrooms, scripture pavilions, dormitories for prisoners, and canteens.
Like the North Prison, the South Prison has six halls.
One is: the monastic magic hall, referred to as the Dharma Hall.
The second is: Reckless Alchemy Hall, referred to as Dantang.
The third is: Sincerity Charm Hall, referred to as Fu Hall.
Fourth: Righteous Kendo Hall, referred to as Sword Hall.
The fifth is: Chongzhi Secret Art Hall, referred to as Shutang.
Sixth: Guangye Refining Hall, referred to as the Instrument Hall.
The chief officer of each hall is the sacrificial wine, which is the fourth grade, the chief lecturer of the hall is the Si Zheng, the sixth grade, the next is the ordinary teacher, the doctor of the Eight Grades of the Five Classics and the assistant teacher of the Eight Grades, and finally the nine grades of the Ninth Grade, who is the official who manages the daily academic life of all the prisoners.
Zhu Jianming's letter of recommendation is to Fu Tang sacrificial wine, Zheng Sipin Taoist, Zhang Tonggu.
When I first came to Nanjing, the top priority was definitely to find a place to stay.
Gu Changqing thought that he was originally from Nanjing, so it was better to live in his house first.
But killing would rather die than obey, but said: "If you want to live for a long time, then rent a house, if it is a short stay, naturally the inn is cheaper." ”
Gu Changqing shook his head with a smile and said, "Why don't you dare to go home, shouldn't you have been kicked out of your family?"
"Hugh has to say more, you can choose for yourself. ”
Gu Changqing had no choice but to find an inn near Nanjian to stay.
On this trip to Nanjing, I don't know if I can successfully enter the Guozijian!
Of course, the temporary guest house is relatively safe.
After the two had dinner, Gu Changqing found a killer to go out for a stroll.
It was the first time for him to come to such a big place, and Nanjing was a prosperous place, so he was naturally overjoyed and lingered.
Standing on the Pearl Bridge, Kill Sheng pointed to the north and said, "Look, such a large area is the Southern Prison." ”
Gu Changqing nodded, looked around, and said, "I heard that the Chengtian Residence General Altar is also in Nanjing?"
"Look, the North Street of the West Imperial City, the area in front of the Taiping Bridge is Chengtianju. ”
Gu Changqing raised his eyes and looked at it, it was also densely packed and brightly lit.
"Chengtianju is worthy of being one of the five major sects, and this courage is comparable to that of the Guozijian. ”
Gu Changqing strolled on the Pearl Bridge, and the prosperity of Nanjing was in full view.
"In addition to Guozijian and Chengtianju, are there any other famous dojos in Nanjing?"
"Why not?" Killing raised his finger, "In front of Xuanwu Lake, under the earthen bridge, there is also a Shangyuan Mansion adjacent to the Southern Prison, in which the Great Mage's Taoism is no worse than the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian Dharma Hall, and the Wuguan in the Lufei Lane of the Red Bridge in the south, the disciples in it are all good at hand-to-hand combat, they respect the strength of the physical body, do not practice magic, only cultivate mana, and use mana to strengthen the physical body, and the strength of the body is comparable to the body of a demon." ”
When Gu Changqing heard this, he immediately felt that there was really a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world, and he couldn't imagine that there were so many famous dojos in Nanjing City.
Late at night, the two returned to the inn to rest and did not speak for the night.
On the second day, Gu Changqing got up early in the morning, and wanted to tell Kill Sheng that he was going to the South Prison, but he didn't want Kill to be out of the room for a long time.
Thinking that his home is in Nanjing, I am afraid that he went home alone.
I didn't think much about it, I ate something and went to the south prison.
There is a tall archway set up in front of the south prison gate, the three words of "Guozijian" are written on it, the pen walks the dragon and snake, vigorous and powerful.
Under the torii, a team of guards dressed in white soft armor with a circular pattern on the cuffs is on duty.
Gu Changqing had long understood that this guard was composed of Xuezheng and was specifically responsible for security in the prison.
The circular pattern on its cuffs is the symbol of the country.
This circular pattern has a great origin, and it comes from the magic weapon of the Guozijian Town Courtyard.
According to legend, there is a North Pole Pavilion in the South Prison, in which there is a town courtyard magic weapon: the armillary sphere.
This magic weapon is the second-order Taoist master of the Western Han Dynasty, which is refined according to the ten major artifacts of the Heavenly Dao Life Plate, and then recast by the Eastern Han Dynasty Great Refiner Zhang Heng, and has become the armillary sphere today.
The armillary sphere has the magical power to detect the number of people's lives, and it is said that whenever there is a change of dynasty, this magic weapon will automatically rotate, and countless heavenly luck will fly out of it, and fall into the hands of the chosen one.
Gu Changqing sighed in front of the archway of Nanjian and walked over.
A female schoolgirl stopped him.
"Fellow Daoist, this is an important place in the southern prison, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. ”
Gu Changqing smiled slightly, took out Zhu Jianming's letter of recommendation from the Dao Urn, and said, "I have here a handwritten letter handed over to Master Zhang Tonggu by Zhu Jianming, the official of the Dao Gong Division of Emei County. ”
"Mr. Tonggu for the Futang Sacrifice Wine?"
"Exactly. ”
At this time, a male student next to him heard this, leaned over and smiled: "You want to become a disciple of Mr. Tonggu?"
Gu Changqing nodded and did not speak.
"Do you know who Mr. Tunggu is?"
Gu Changqing was stunned when he heard this, no matter how good the Futang sacrificial wine is, he is also a fourth-grade Taoist, you nine-grade scholars dare to talk about him?
Could it be that this sacrificial wine is not in a good situation in the southern prison?
