Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Eastern Capital

The eastern capital of Luoyang is located in the middle of Zhongzhou, and Zhongzhou is surrounded by eight other states in the middle, so it can also be said that the eastern capital is located in the middle of the Kyushu world.

The reason why Luoyang is called the Eastern Capital is because the current imperial court is generally called the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is different from the Western Han Dynasty, but in any case, it is the Han Dynasty after all.

Outside the eastern capital, the four passes are divided into southeast, south, and northwest, respectively: the Tiger Prison Pass in the East, the Longling Pass in the West, the Xuanbing Pass in the South, and the Vermilion Bird Pass in the North.

It is said that these four passes are the foundation of a peerless formation, which can completely protect Luoyang and the surrounding areas of the pass if necessary, but whether this is the case or not is not something that ordinary people can know.

At this point,

After a long journey, Lu Yu finally came to the outside of the Southern Xuanbing Pass!

Yunzhou is located in the southeast corner of Zhongzhou, so Lu Yu came to Xuanbing Pass, and if he came from Jingzhou, then he arrived at Tiger Prison Pass.

The height of the Xuanbing Pass is remarkable, and as far as the eye can see, the city wall composed of Xuanbing-colored wall bricks is at least ten zhang high, and the width is continuous, like a small Great Wall.

The city tower above is in the shape of a basalt, the limbs and claws are firmly grasped on the city wall, the head is raised to the sky, and the clouds are floating above its head, and the momentum is very vast.

In comparison, the gate below is much smaller, the same ice-colored gate, but it is not the kind with two openings, but a strange hanging gate!

Walking on this hanging door, a cold air can't help but hit the whole body from the footsteps, making people shiver involuntarily.

The six guards on the porch had serious faces, and without pretense, these soldiers guarding important passes were already the few elite forces left in the Eastern Han Dynasty, well-trained, and the command acted in accordance with their duties, and they would not cause any extraneous problems.

After obediently paying the entrance fee, Lu Yu stepped into the pass.

In these checkpoints, except for the barracks or barracks, the areas on both sides are off-limits, and pedestrians are only allowed to walk on the streets in the middle, and they are absolutely not allowed to linger too long, otherwise they will be arrested as ill-intentioned.

In fact, except for a few people with other purposes, no one will be interested in the construction of this pass, no matter how grandiose, this ice pass is just a pass.

Lu Yu was very interested, but he wouldn't be troublesome, like everyone else, he hurriedly walked through the Qingshi Road in Guanzhong, from the south to the north, and out of another gate in the north.

Out of the hanging door,

The situation that caught his eyes made Lu Yu stunned all of a sudden,

I saw that it was faintly visible in the distance, and four towering buildings were steadily piercing into the clouds, and the clouds were floating around them, like four guardian saints of the sky.

A magnificent palace in the center, although not as tall as the four buildings, is also connected to the white clouds in the sky, like a heavenly palace; the whole look, majestic, magnificent, majestic, vast, people suddenly feel solemn

"That's"

"That is the Deyang Hall in the Luoyang Palace, the place where the civil and military officials go to court, and the ones that surround the Deyang Hall are the Four Holy Chaotianque, Canglong, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, spectacular. ”

An old man behind him sighed, then pushed Lu Yu's body, and said, "Young man, go to the side and look, you are blocking the road behind." ”

"Oh," Lu Yu hurriedly turned around and made room for the people behind.

Although his behavior was a little dumbfounded, the people around him seemed to be accustomed to it, and did not laugh at him out loud, because every day he could meet some guys who had never been to the Eastern Capital, and except for the locals, everyone was in such a daze, there was nothing to laugh at at all.

After looking at the buns from a distance for a while, Lu Yu's agitated mood finally calmed down, and then he hurriedly grabbed a passerby and asked in detail.

The Four Sages Chaotianque, the Eastern Canglong, the Western White Tiger, the Southern Vermilion Bird, and the Northern Xuanwu stood around the Deyang Hall in the imperial city in an orthodox position, instead of turning around the four passes.

The four holy Chaotianque and the central Deyang Hall were built by an emperor named Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty after the founding of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent at that time, and even the treasury was changed from abundant to vacant, but in the end, after the building was formed, it made all the members who participated in the construction of it very worthwhile.

Spectacular, vast, mighty, unparalleled in the world!

This is the unified evaluation of all those who have visited the Four Saints Chaotianque and the Imperial Palace Deyang Hall!

In the whole of Kyushu, only the Dragon City in Jingzhou can be slightly compared with here, but it is obviously not as impressive as here.

In Lu Yu's opinion, compared with the same towering high-rise buildings in the previous life, this architectural style like a heavenly palace is even more unforgettable!

Slowly walked along the official road in the pass towards Luoyang, the shocking building was getting bigger and bigger, but Lu Yu no longer showed a dull expression for it, but paid attention to what he had ignored before-Luoyang, the eastern capital.

The Four Saints Chaotianque and the Imperial Palace Deyang Hall are just buildings in the Imperial City in Luoyang, which may attract the attention of most people, but only Luoyang is a whole!

It may be because of the existence of the four passes, so Luoyang's defense is relatively thin, the city wall is only about ten meters, the color is dark and deep, and the quaint color is very solid.

At this time, he was almost two miles away from Luoyang, and from the official road under his feet, there was a pearl shining with golden light on the top of the magnificent city tower on the square city gate in the distance; at this moment the sun was shining, but the golden light was still dazzling, shining a few miles away, and it was not dim.

And as he got closer and closer, the strange golden light of the bell did not become more and more intense, but remained constant under a dazzling, but not obstructive brightness, and I don't know how it was formed.

The city gate was already faintly visible, and the dense and orderly bridgehead market outside the city gate slowly appeared in his eyes,

This kind of bazaar is common outside the major state cities of Kyushu, but Lu Yu usually doesn't notice them. But in this emotional situation, everything that has not been noticed is so obvious.

Slowly walking into the market, the noise suddenly appeared around, selling fish, meat, chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, and vegetables, melons and fruits.

In the Kyushu world, the Qiaotou market is generally only available at the south city gate, and people will not set up stalls outside the other three city gates, in addition to being too dirty and messy, it is also one thing to affect pedestrians entering and leaving the city.

Qiaotou Qiaotou, as the name suggests, the bazaar on the bridgehead, walking through the bazaar, a bluestone bridge immediately appeared.

The bluestone bridge connects to the south city gate, and the river water of the moat under the bridge is quite turbulent, Lu Yu looked down curiously, and there were not even black shadows flashing inside, I don't know what it is.

It's early in the morning,

There were not many pedestrians entering and exiting the city gate, so there was no long queue at the city gate, and he easily walked to the guard, paid the entrance fee, and he had officially stepped into Luoyang.

As soon as he stepped in, before Lu Yu could carefully look at the scenery in the city, a surprised woman's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "You are so coincidental." ”
