Chapter 151: The Capital

Gaochang City, with a radius of about 100 miles, leans on the rolling mountains of the east and west in the north, and there is commercial water passing through the city in the south. This is the treasure place where the Tibetan wind gathers qi and the dragon and tiger meet, and it is where the Shang Kingdom of Gyeonggi is located, and it has its own atmosphere.

The capital is divided into two cities, the inner and the outer city. The inner city is where the royal palace is located, in a house close to the outer city, the pavilions and pavilions are beautiful, the peach is red and apricot white, the spring is enchanting, the rockery is flowing and the waterfall is like a fairyland on earth.

By a pond, there stood a handsome young man. He was silent in the face of the koi competing for food in the pond.

An old man, with steady steps, passed through a moon gate, came behind the young man, leaned over and saluted: "Your Highness, they have arrived in the capital!"

The young man still looked at the water in the pond for a long time, sighed, and said softly, "How nice it would be if I were this fish!

The old man hesitated for a moment, looked up at the young man's back, and then looked back at the two maidservants who were standing far away, before he said out loud: "Your Highness is not a fish, and you know the joy of fish?"

The young man looked into the distance, his eyes crossed the jagged and beautiful pavilions near and far, and his face was tired. He muttered and said, "Butler Hong is not me?"

The man turned around, slowly walked to the vermilion chair, and sat down slowly. He stretched out his hand to pick up the white jade cup on the wooden table, took a sip of fragrant tea, and then shook his head with a wry smile, and said to the old man: "Not long after the imperial brother ascended the throne, he was so anxious to drive me away, without thinking about the flesh and blood affection. I will stay away from the land of right and wrong! The most ruthless emperor is the family of the ancients, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!"

Under the graceful and luxurious appearance of the young man, it is difficult to hide the desolation and helplessness in his smile.

"Steward Hong, if you come to the capital, you should be entertained. This is the end of the world, and the lonely king's net worth can be entrusted to them!"

The young man looked confused, waved his hand at the old man, and leaned back in his chair. He looked blankly at the gloomy sky and said to himself, "It's going to rainβ€”β€”!"

......

On the streets of the capital, a group of people marched in the rain. On the last carriage, Zhen Yuanzi held up a paper umbrella and covered it with Lin Yi. Yuan Qing and Yuan Feng also sat on the roof of the car with their own umbrellas, leisurely and happily watching the street scene of the capital.

It's just that the drizzle is hazy, and there are few pedestrians on the street, but in the shops on both sides, many people are looking at the people in the rivers and lakes who are hurrying in the rain.

"Hehe! Fortunately, I saw the opportunity early and let Yuan Qing buy an umbrella. Watching the scenery in the rain is not interesting!"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, just drove the carriage with everyone, and took it to a large courtyard from the people from the Pingwang Mansion he had seen before.

There is the word "Siping Pavilion" in front of the courtyard, which makes Lin Yi's eyes light up and reminds him of Siping County, his hometown. But I heard Zhen Yuanzi shake his head and said: "This is the post house of the Imperial Court Rite Department, and the name takes the meaning of the four seas to promote peace, not the Siping of your boy's hometown." But how could Tianlong send him to the capital, how could he stay here?

Entering the gate of the Siping Pavilion with flying arches, there is a very wide area of mansions in front of you. The people set up the carriages and horses and were arranged in a separate courtyard.

The courtyard is full of green trees and exquisite pavilions. Such a scene made the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect dizzy. The placement of everyone's residences is even more praiseworthy, that is, Lin Yi is also assigned to a single room.

Lin Yi looked at his residence, the house is not big, all kinds of residential applications are complete, and the furnishings are simple and exquisite. There is also a furnace of sandalwood placed in a corner of the room, and the fragrance is lingering. Outside the window, a large tree shades the place, where it is quiet and leisurely.

It is worthy of being the capital! Food, clothing, housing and transportation are unimaginably luxurious. Although it was the first time to live in such a good place, Lin Yi sighed curiously, and put these things in front of him in the back of his mind. He walked to the window, closed his eyes and listened to the spring rain, secretly thinking in his heart, it was the rainy season in the capital, and he was afraid that he would not be able to leave for a while!

After the Tianlong Sect came to the capital, it was rainy for three consecutive days, and the excitement of the disciples at the beginning of their arrival was gradually washed away by this endless rain. But Meng Shan didn't know what he was busy with every day, and he couldn't see anyone, but he just heard from the second senior brother that everyone could stay in the capital for a few more days with peace of mind, and they could also play around.

So, three days later, the disciples couldn't hold back any longer, and they walked out in pairs and threes and twos, braving the spring rain.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the couch and slowly opened his eyes. He raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and a vigorous spiritual power immediately poured into his arm, and a white light that was indistinguishable to the naked eye flashed.

With a slight swing of the fist, the air flow of the entire room was moved, as if a single punch could destroy everything. Lin Yi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, he liked the feeling of this kind of strength filling his body.

In the past three days, Lin Yi has not left the house, and it is a good time to practice martial arts.

Lin Yi walked out of the house, and the courtyard was quiet.

It seems that the spring rain can't stop Youxing, even Zhen Yuanzi also ran out early in the morning, I don't know what to do. It was already past noon, and there were few people in the hospital.

Why don't you go out for a walk yourself?" Lin Yi tilted his head alone and thought for a while, he picked up a paper umbrella in front of the door and propped it up, and walked out.

......

At this time, in the palace, in a palace with strong weather, a young man was talking to an old man.

The man is in his early thirties, with a crown of nine dragons inlaid with treasures on his head, wearing a black brocade suit. On his handsome face, his nose is like a hanging beam, his lips are like Dan, he has a short beard, his eyes are shining, and he is not angry and arrogant.

The old man was dressed as a Taoist priest, with white beard and long eyebrows, his face was like a baby, his eyes were slightly closed, his hands were sealed in front of his abdomen, and he sat on the purple wooden dragon couch with a dragon and a phoenix.

β€œ...... This method is very good, but I am afraid that my brother does not want to do it!" the man walked a few steps, then stopped and said respectfully to the old man.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the man, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness King Ping stays in the capital, and over time, it will not be good for others or himself. If you go overseas and get the elixir by chance, the emperor can use this to cut down the hair and wash the marrow, and be reborn, maybe from now on to get the way to immortality, even if you embark on the immortal path, you don't know!"

The man was the emperor of the Shang Kingdom, and when he heard the old man say this, his eyes became eager, and he laughed and said: "Xiandao said, I have heard the real person mention it a long time ago, so this is the arrangement." Who doesn't want the way of immortality! I have also learned the method of cultivation for real people, but I can't get started for a long time. If there is an elixir to help, the result will be twice as effective with half the effort!"

"Is the real person sure about the overseas fairy island?" the man asked, looking at the old man.

The old man snorted, as if dissatisfied, and said proudly: "That's natural, it was said by my master when he was alive and with Poor Dao. It's just that the sea is endless, and it's hard to find! Otherwise, Poor Dao really wants to travel overseas!"

The man laughed, waved his hand and said, "That's not possible, you are always a real person who protects the country as a great businessman, how can you easily travel far away? Not to mention that I can't do without real people!"

The old man's face was slightly pale, his eyes were distant, and he said slowly: "The poor Taoist master, for thousands of years, has taken the maintenance of the imperial power of the Great Shang as his own responsibility, and has passed it to the poor Dao here, and there is no successor. For the sake of the emperor and the poor Taoist master, this time he must send someone to travel with Tianlong to the sea. If you can get something, the emperor can enter the floor, and my master's line can be continued. If there is nothing to be gained from this trip, it will be determined by Providence, and it will not be disobeyed. Even so, isn't it a good thing that His Royal Highness King Ping can stay away from the capital?"

The ancestor of the old man's family, since the beginning of the Shang country, has been enshrined by the royal family. Thousands of years have continued, and his master has enjoyed supreme authority in the Shang Kingdom, and has also received countless cultivation conveniences from the royal family.

The existence beyond mortals is the secret that the old master has always been proud of. It's just that now that the old man's generation has arrived, the follow-up disciples have never been able to step through the immortal moat like him, so in the past, the royal worship has no real name.

The imperial power of the division and the Shang State has always been closely related and shared weal and woe. For this reason, the old man also took great pains to improve the strength of his master, and he really tried his best to stabilize the imperial power of this Shang country.

"What the real person said is not bad, I have already calculated!"
