Chapter 2: A Wild History
Jinling and Ruyang are quite far away, everyone took the petal cloud to this place, the road was smooth, Lan'er and Fang Ting, who felt the flight of the sword for the first time, shouted in surprise, hugged each other tightly, for fear that one would fall down if they stepped on the air. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
During this period, Shen Fei deliberately tested Fang Ting's strength, so he deliberately released a gap in the petal cloud to leak Fang Ting, but he didn't expect the other party to really fall at a high speed, without any fluctuations of immortal power, and there was no means to save himself. It was Nalan Ruoxue who quickly rescued Fang Ting, but even then she fainted with fright.
Although Ruoxue could probably guess the purpose of Shen Fei's move, she was still extremely angry, because in her opinion, Fang Ting was a poor person, a good sister to herself, and she needed to be cherished instead of doubted and tempted. Only Shen Fei knew that all this was a superficial phenomenon, and it was Fang Ting who showed Ruoxue, but unfortunately he couldn't break it, so he had no choice but to automatically filter out Ruoxue's angry gaze.
Shen Fei thought in his heart: There are only two possibilities for Fang Ting's performance like this, either she is really an ordinary person and there is no immortal power on her body at all, or her acting skills are too realistic and her heart is too vicious. Compared with the two, Shen Fei was more inclined to the latter, he didn't believe that the undercover agents sent by Lord Xuan to his side would not know any immortal arts.
It's a pity that Fang Ting's performance has always been leaky and flawless, lying in Lan'er's arms, and sleeping for two hours before she woke up.
Seeing Ruyang City from a distance, the city gate was wide open, there was no guard, and the flow of people entering and leaving was automatically divided into left and right sides, which was quite orderly. This made Shen Fei feel surprised, he thought that the more prosperous the place, the more cards should be set up layer by layer, and precautions should be taken everywhere, but he didn't expect it to be such an open environment.
The city of Jinling City is also very different from Ruyang and the cities passing along the way, the city wall is actually pink, and the lights are colorful from south to north, which is quite a little fresh style. After entering the city, the defensive organs such as the urn city, the inner city, and the arrow tower are all gone, and there is not even a single patrolling soldier on the city tower, and the whole city gives people the feeling of three words - no defense!
The environment in the city is very different, the luxurious and magnificent official residence, the heavily gated deep house divides the Jinling city melon into pieces like cutting a cake, and the streets in the city are winding and rugged, often halfway to find that it is a dead end, which makes people feel troubled.
A group of four people settled in a rather luxurious inn, the inn is called "Spring Breeze Inn", there are three floors, the higher the room is, the higher the standard, they live on the top floor. Shen Fei took away the fiery red eyes in Cuilan Xuan for nothing, and all the silver tickets of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold were retained, and now his pockets are bulging, of course, he must choose a place with a better environment for accommodation.
There are a total of eight rooms on the fourth floor, a group of four people opened two rooms, Shen Fei occupied one alone, Ruoxue and her good sisters slept in another room, it stands to reason that the maids can open a room downstairs casually, but Ruoxue just didn't follow, and there was no way but three people could only squeeze into one bed to sleep. The two rooms opened by Shen Fei and Ruoxue are next to each other, occupying all the space on the west side of the inn; the east, south and north sides also have the same arrangement, facing each other, quite symmetrical, the west and east doors and doors are facing each other, as long as the door is opened, the situation in the opposite room can be seen at a glance, Shen Fei saw that in the opposite room, there are also men and women like him and Ruoxue, who are also familiar with each other, and sleep in the same separate rooms, and even, the body naturally overflows with immortal power, casually glance, the immortal power does not seem to be weak.
Since coming to Jinling, Shen Fei has seen many people with immortal power, which proves that Jinling City is full of immortal footprints.
In the evening, he walked down the street with Wakayuki. In Ruyang City, Ruoxue, who was already accustomed to seeing street gadgets, came to Jinling, and her curiosity was rekindled, because many things that appeared on the street were something she had never seen before. For example, a table with three bowls and a small ball, and the three immortals who guess the position of the ball by moving quickly, for example, the seller who picks a sledgehammer and practices the handle, and for example, the storyteller who holds a fan and talks to everyone.
It is necessary to mention here the book of the storyteller, who tells the story of the current monarch Tuoba Gui. It turned out that Tuoba Gui's father was a general of the former dynasty, and he was originally a concubine, but his natural divine power was favored by his father, and he went out with his father at the age of eleven, and became famous at the age of thirteen, beheaded the head of the barbarian general, led the troops as a forward officer at the age of fifteen, and defeated the barbarians to a great rout at the age of eighteen, and retreated for hundreds of miles. At that time, the main adversaries of the Terran Kingdom were the barbarians from further north. The country of the people is located in the plains, and further north is a large area of Gobi and desert, which is not suitable for survival and habitation, and even the immortals are too little to set foot in. The barbarians lived a nomadic life, invading the borders of the human country for a long time, robbing property and women, Tuoba Gui was young, followed his father to the expedition, and defeated the barbarians can be described as a miraculous achievement, the old emperor Sima Zheng attached great importance to him, and he was awarded official titles and rewards.
Of course, the main purpose is to take this opportunity to remove Tuoba Gui's military power, which is equivalent to house arrest in the imperial capital in disguise, and form a certain constraint on his father who led a large army to fight in the east and west.
Tuoba Gui naturally knows his current situation, he is very patient, does not break the old emperor's intentions, while eating, drinking, and enjoying desperately, he works hard to learn poetry and songs, and pats the old emperor's ass from time to time, and finally gains the trust of the old emperor, and there is no worry about his life. Just as the old emperor was nearing the end of his life, the princes seized the throne, and Tuoba Gui, together with the army forces behind him, decisively stood behind the second prince Sima Yan and helped him win the final battle of succession to the throne.
Sima Yan is a person who knows gratitude, and immediately after succeeding to the throne, he reused Tuoba Gui and made him the prime minister, so that Tuoba Gui was in the court, Tuoba Gui's father was outside the court, one was the main text, the other was the main military, and he actually controlled the real power of the empire. But it was still not enough, at this time, Tuoba Gui was still doing things with his tail between his legs, and he was bent on Sima Yan's body to give him advice.
Tuoba Gui scared Sima Yan and said: "Monarch, you are a prince who is not trusted by the emperor, and the final succession is quite a complaint among other princes, if this continues, I am afraid that there is a danger of being overthrown, so it is better to strike first and kill them all." ”
Indeed, as Tuoba Gui said, Sima Yan's mother, Mrs. Jing, did not have a tough backstage, nor did she have a beautiful appearance, and being able to conceive him was all arranged by providence and was the product of an accident; therefore, the emperor did not love the young Sima Yan, and lacked the necessary backers in the palace, so when Sima Yan was young, he was often bullied by other princes. Because of this, he studied hard, rode horses and archery, tried every possible way to please his father, and finally ascended to the throne with the strong support of the Tuoba family. Sima Yan did have concerns about the brothers around him, and Tuoba Gui's words just touched the sore spot in his heart. Sima Yan decisively adopted his advice, and thus began a frenzied killing of his brothers and sisters.
At that time, there were two forces in the court, one was the imperial power represented by the Sima clan, and the other was the foreign surname force represented by the Tuoba family. Due to the instruction of Emperor Sima Yan, the imperial power of the Sima clan was almost wiped out, the death and injury of relatives was as many as 10,000 people, the red blood dyed the moat of the imperial capital red, and the imperial capital of singing and dancing turned into Shura Hell in an instant, and the plague spread, the gate of Lingyin Temple was closed, and visitors were not allowed to come to the door for three years.
The Tuoba Gui clan is dominated by this family, and Tuoba Gui keeps Sima Yan in captivity in the deep palace, where he is served by countless beauties every day, living a life of fine clothes and food. He monopolized the power, replaced almost all positions with cronies, and poisoned Sima Yan at the beginning of the next year, calling the emperor the founding of the country, and the emperor opening the emperor!
The words here are brief, but the storyteller paints a vivid picture of the thrilling and gripping parts, as if he had experienced it himself. What Shen Fei couldn't understand was that no one stopped such a rebellious remark!
You know, this is the end of the thirtieth year of Tuoba Gui's reign, when the imperial rule is at its most secure, and at such a point in time, it is obviously out of place for a storyteller to openly slander the emperor of his country, whether he says it is true or not.
However, no one stepped forward to stop them.
It's incredible!
Next to the storyteller is a father and daughter singing songs, who look no different from the pair they met in Ruyang City, but no bully has killed them for no reason. This also makes Shen Fei very strange, the huge city, the most famous and prosperous city, can't even see a person from the government, but it can operate in an orderly manner and develop vigorously, what is the reason for this?
Shen Fei couldn't understand the mystery, but he was held by the father and daughter who sang the song, it turned out that the father and daughter sang the folk song "Wanting Wind", the style of the song was mournful, expressing a strong sense of nostalgia. This couldn't help but remind Shen Fei of his former hometown, the current City of Mourning. Thinking about it, I haven't been back for thirteen years, and I wonder if it's still a ruin?
Then he recalled the great significance of this human trip, preaching was one of the purposes, and finding the murderer who ordered the attack on the Rakshasa tribe and slaughtered his own tribe was the second purpose. These two tasks go hand in hand.
These days, Shen Fei has actually been pondering the things of the past, it stands to reason that his clansmen, when they are emotional, can release amazing strength and speed, the people are still martial, the city is a astrolabe layout, and the cities are connected like a psychedelic array, which should not be wiped out as easily as ordinary human beings!
But the reality is that the holy city of the Rakshasa clan collapsed overnight and turned into ruins, because he was too young at that time and lived in the deep palace for a long time, Shen Fei could not recall the specific plot, but relying on inference, he could vaguely speculate that the fall of the Rakshasa clan was either because of the traitors in the clan, just like Longhu Mountain; or there were immortals or monks secretly helping, although the Rakshasa clan was stronger than ordinary people, but there was no chance of winning against the people who cultivated immortals and Buddhas, and only if they made a move, it could lead to the destruction of the Rakshasa clan.
And this undoubtedly means that Shushan may also be involved in it, as soon as he thinks of this, Shen Fei feels extremely painful, and can only get some comfort from the relaxed attitude of the real person in charge of this matter, maybe everything is his own heart.
I remember that before going down the mountain, Brother Hatoyama Naruto once showed a pattern in front of him, and mysteriously mentioned that if he encountered the same pattern after going down the mountain, he must stop and say hello to the person who has the pattern, and maybe he can get an unexpected answer.
Shen Fei came to Jinling, the prosperous capital, and felt that this was the most likely place to find the pattern mentioned by Senior Brother Jiu, so he was extra careful when he went to the street.
Probably really moved, Shen Fei gave the father and daughter who sang a small piece of silver, which was already a lot of wealth for the street artists, and they made compilations again and again to express their gratitude.
Further ahead, the voices of people are boiling, an oval building covering an area of 100 acres stands upright, and after approaching, I know that it is one of the most distinctive buildings in Jinling City - the fighting arena!
From the outside, it is a building made of huge bluestone tiles, with a height of more than 50 meters, and the circular corridor and grandstand are receded layer by layer, forming a stepped slope. Far away, you can already hear the deafening noise and shouts, and the manic atmosphere is almost crazy. Shen Fei really wanted to go in and have a look, but unfortunately he was stopped by Ruoxue, who didn't want to go in because he didn't want to see the bloody and violent scenes.
Shen Fei saw that Ruoxue insisted on this, and there was no choice but to follow her.
Outside the arena, there are many stalls selling water and food, this is the first time Shen Fei has seen someone sell water as a commodity, probably because he will be thirsty after desperately shouting inside, so the vendors prepared a bamboo tube in the morning, the tube was full of water, and when someone came out to buy water, they handed it over one or two, the price was quite expensive, and it required ten lines of money. Food vendors are also very targeted, and the food they sell is mainly meat, probably in such a hot-blooded place, men will inevitably be agitated and consume more energy.
Walked around the past and walked for a long time, after all, it was a site covering an area of fifty acres, and when he walked forward, people kept passing by, Shen Fei wanted to turn around with them several times, but he was forcibly pulled by Nalan Ruoxue, and it seemed that he really had no chance with the fighting arena today.
Walking all the way forward, through the downtown area, through the block, due to Nalan Ruoxue's pulling in the lead, the two actually walked to the beach in one go. There are a lot of good men and women gathered on the seaside, as well as a happy family of three, and everyone keeps a certain distance from each other, which is a tacit understanding with each other.
The embankment was towering, and the waves were lapping on the shore again and again, and as soon as the accompanying cold and humid sea breeze blew, Nalan Ruoxue tightened her body, and took advantage of the moonlight to naturally snuggle up to Shen Fei's chest. Shen Fei didn't dare to move, he stood, acquiescing, for fear that his casual movement would make Ruoxue fall behind. Young men and women alone together are like dry wood and fire placed in one place, and sooner or later they will rub together sparks.
