Chapter Seventy-Six: Four Spirit Beasts
There is no shortage of four spirits, and Chang'an is not broken.
Chang'an, since the Yellow Emperor founded the Terran Xiuzhen Kingdom, has been the capital of the Terran for thousands of years. No matter how the Terran Xiuzhen Country changes its dynasty, Chang'an will always be the most ideal capital of the Terran Race.
At the beginning, the Yellow Emperor led the human race to cultivate the truth and the spirit craftsman to build Chang'an City, in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the city wall, with the power of the immortals, respectively, the four spirit beasts of Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Xuanwu were suppressed. The four spirit beasts laid down a huge four spirit array along the four city walls.
When Chang'an City is attacked, only the yellow-robed Tongtian in the realm of the Heavenly Spirit Period is needed to awaken the four spirit beasts with spiritual power and activate the four spirit arrays to protect the city. The four spirit arrays are mutually restrictive, and the spiritual power that operates is endless, but the saint can break it.
The Terran cultivators had never awakened the four spirit beasts. Because no matter how the Terran Xiuzhen Kingdom changed its dynasty, except for the Yellow Emperor, the human emperor at that time, no one had the ability to suppress the four spirit beasts after awakening them. The Four Spirit Array is like a double-sided sharp blade, although it can protect the city without breaking it, it also makes the people in the city like turtles in the urn.
However, the legend of the four spirit beasts of Chang'an has made the human race eager to be guarded flock to it. Emperor Chang'an City has gathered countless famous families and high-ranking officials of the human race. Chang'an is home to millions of people and can be called the most prosperous city in the human world.
In the ten-mile long pavilion outside the Qinglong Gate of Chang'an City, the team of Luoyan Palace led by Nangong Xiaoxiao entered Beijing and was greeted by more than a dozen Beijing officials who had been waiting for a long time. Except for a squire and a member of the Ministry of Rites, the rest of these Beijing officials are all high-ranking officials in Beijing from the Luoyan Palace, headed by Nangong Qi, the commander of the Beijing Machinery Battalion and the general.
Nangong Qi was close to the sixtieth birthday, dressed as a black-robed mage, with a white beard fluttering, eyebrows like knives, and his whole body was naturally overflowing with a killing aura. He bowed to Nangong Xiaoxiao and said, "I am glad to hear that the palace master's cultivation has reached the out-of-body stage, which makes us very surprised. My Luoyan Palace is like a generation of generations, and the inheritance is long-lasting. ”
Nangong Xiaoxiao hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, saying, "Uncle Qi, you are in the military, why do you bother to wait for me here?"
Nangong Qi stroked his beard and laughed, and said, "I am entangled in military affairs, and I haven't seen the palace master for several years. News came from the south, saying that the palace master used the 'Seven Spirits Soul Destroying Arrow' to force back the demon clan Chishui Demon General, which made me want to fly back to Junshan Luoyan Palace alone. I came to greet the palace master, and I don't think the emperor will blame him. ”
Nangong Xiaoxiao introduced Qiu Wushuang who was standing next to her: "Uncle Qi, this is Qiu Wushuang, the new head of my Luoyan Palace. ”
"Meet the General. Qiu Wushuang bowed.
"Good boy, what a great manager of Qiu!" Nangong Li stepped forward to support him, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "The battle of White Deer City burned the demon fleet and saved a shipwrecked woman, and the battle of Yunmengze swung his sword and injured the Chishui Demon General, which shocked the world." I have a big manager like you in Luoyan Palace, and I am bound to be like a tiger. ”
Qiu Wushuang smiled and said, "The general's words are serious. ”
He turned his head to Nangong Xiaoxiao and said, "When will the palace master take the chief manager of Qiu to the Jingji camp, you might as well let the brothers of the Xiuzhen camp see the power of the Xuanyuan Sword." ”
Nangong Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao will definitely take him to meet Uncle Qi." ”
Nangong Lifei got on the spirit horse, hugged his fists to everyone and said: "This general is on duty, and he doesn't dare to enter the city without permission." Say goodbye and see you again tomorrow. ”
Qiu Wushuang stared at the spirit horse, which was nearly half taller than an ordinary war horse, and was incomparably spirited. I saw that it was spitting out spiritual energy, and its hooves were carrying Nangong Li away without dust.
He said enviously to Nangong Xiaoxiao: "Sister Palace Master, if you get such a horse to ride, it must feel unusual. ”
Yuan Ye, the deputy commander of the Arrow Guard, interjected on the side: "Chief Qiu, the spirit horse needs to be fed with spirit grass and spirit pills every day, and it is not easy to raise it. There are only less than ten spirit horses in my Great Xia Kingdom, and most of them are in the Imperial Palace. The general is the mainstay of the Great Xia military, and he worked hard to get a spirit horse from the emperor. ”
Qiu Wushuang didn't feel itchy in his heart, and muttered: "Imperial Palace Horse Supervisor, this place has to be visited." ”
He said to Yuan Ye again: "Brother Yuan, just call me Brother Qiu in the future." What a big autumn manager, it sounds so lively. ”
Yuan Ye laughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Qiu." ”
Concubine Long Qiong flew around on Qiu Wushuang's shoulder, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You human race is really strange, you always like to pat people on the shoulder, don't you know that this is very uncivilized?"
Qiu Wushuang watched Nangong Xiaoxiao being surrounded by a group of officials, and said softly: "Sister Little Flying Worm, our human race still likes to pat people's ass." You dragons don't know how to do it, right?"
Long Feiqiong asked suspiciously: "Why do people have horse buttocks, and some people like to shoot it?"
Dong Bu, Wan Dahai and others were secretly happy on the side.
The majestic Chang'an City is in sight. The city walls that stretch for miles and the tall and majestic city towers, like tigers standing on dragon plates, show the momentum of the human race.
Long Concubine Qiong exclaimed: "It's so majestic! It's many times bigger than our Dragon Palace." ”
Qiu Wushuang looked at the flow of people on the official road, and sighed: "The days when we catch the market in Taoyuan are not as many as the people on the official road here. ”
The Yellow Emperor Yuan Shen shouted in his body: "The green dragon aura is still there, and the four spirit beasts are still there." Four spirits protect Chang'an. Chang'an City, my Chang'an City, I'm back!"
There are three gates in the east city, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites led Nangong Xiaoxiao and others to enter from the Qinglong Gate in the middle.
At the moment of entering the Qinglong Gate, Long Concubine Qiong raised her small body and said to Qiu Wushuang: "Brother Ugly Eight Monsters, I feel that the city gate is filled with a spiritual aura of our dragon clan, it's really strange!"
Qiu Wushuang said softly, "Is it that your relatives of the Dragon Clan have come to look for you?"
Long Concubine Qiong shook her little head and said, "Impossible, this dragon aura fills every corner of the city gate, as if it was born to exist. ”
Qiu Wushuang remembered what the Yellow Emperor Yuan Shen said, patted her little body, and said, "Uncle Huang may know the reason, let's take the time to ask him for advice." ”
Chang'an City is dazzlingly prosperous. He was pulled by Zhang Changsheng to buy a few strings of rock sugar gourds on the street, and the two of them followed behind the long line into the city, licking and eating while forgetting their shapes, and marveling.
Long Feiqiong couldn't help but fly onto a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and took a bite gently, the sour and sweet feeling went straight to her heart.
She was like a gluttonous monster, her small body hovered on the rock sugar gourd, and one by one the rock sugar gourds fell into her belly.
Zhang Changsheng's eyes widened on the side and asked, "Aunt Long, your belly is so small, aren't you afraid to hold on?"
Concubine Long Qiong smacked her mouth and said, "After eating these skewers in the hands of the ugly eight monster brothers, I can still eat the skewers in your hands." ”
Zhang Changsheng shrank his little head, hurriedly protected the rock sugar gourd in his hand, ran the seven-star footwork, and fled to Dong Bu's side in front.
At this time, the Luo Eighteen brothers deliberately fell behind the team. The brothers followed Qiu Wushuang left and right.
"Mr. Qiuda. ”
"Mr. Qiuda. ”
"Eighteenth brother, nineteenth brother. Qiu Wushuang said angrily, "You don't think I'm a brother, right? Our brothers are private, or brothers. Unless you don't think I'm a brother. ”
Luo Eighteen glared at his brother Luo Nineteen, and blamed: "Look, I said that Brother Qiu is righteous enough, you have to say something that is different from top to bottom, respect and inferiority, which makes Brother Qiu angry." ”
Luo Jiu bowed and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong." If Brother Qiu wants to blame, blame me for having too many eyes. ”
Qiu Wushuang smiled: "This is a good brother." ”
Luo Eighteen glanced at the marching team in front of him, and said softly: "Brother Qiu, thank you for giving us the credit for killing the 'Bantam' Takeda, so that our brother still has the opportunity to enter Beijing." Otherwise, our brother would have been punished by the palace master to guard the manor. But that would also protect our brother from the punishment of the court. ”
When he saw Qiu Wushuang's straight face, he immediately slapped his mouth lightly and said, "Look at me, I always say things that are out of sight." ”
Luo Jiujiu leaned close to Qiu Wushuang's ear and said, "Brother Qiu, after settling down in the Luoyan Palace Pavilion today, the palace master will enter the palace to meet the saint as usual. If Brother Qiu has no other arrangements tonight, our brother will make an appointment with a few colleagues of the Arrow Guard and invite Brother Qiu to enjoy the night in the capital. ”
Luo Eighteen said mysteriously: "Brother Qiu, the best place to go at night in the capital is the Warm Jade Pavilion. Brothers, please go and see it tonight. ”
Qiu Wushuang was about to inquire about the location of the Internal Supervision Department and inquire about the whereabouts of Tan Hanmei's mother and daughter. Knowing more of the palace archery guards is exactly what he wants.
