Chapter 32: Aokien
"Senior Brother Shi, is this Aoki Garden?" When the flying boat was about to land, Lu Ying stood on the deck and looked around, there was only one large square below, and there were a few wooden buildings around the square. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was surrounded by forests, with several roads winding into the distance, and beside it there was a twenty or thirty meter wide river, where several boats were transporting supplies and people.
There are also seven or eight flying boats in the square preparing to take off or land.
"No, Senior Brother Lu, this is a flying boat field in the east of Aoki Garden, and Aoki Garden does not allow flying boats to land directly, so ten flying boat fields have been built around for flying boats to take off and land. However, this place is already very close to Aokien, probably only a hundred miles. Zishi explained.
Lu Ying immediately understood, just like most airports on the earth are located in the suburbs. The city is tall and densely populated, and the consequences of a plane crash are too serious, so it is not advisable to be too close to the city.
After getting off the flying boat, two staff members rushed towards them. Zishi didn't wait for them to ask, and reported his identity as soon as he hugged his fist at the other party: "Xing Xuntang Zishi, Internal Affairs Hall Bai Zhi, go to meet the new apprentice who was lost before." As he spoke, he handed over a sign with Bai Zhi.
It turned out that Zishi was from Xing Xuntang, and Lu Ying couldn't help but take a closer look at Zishi a few more times. I used to hear some rumors about Aoki Yuan in Gouqu Town, and I heard that most of the people in Xing Xuntang were eerie and unsmiling, but Zishi didn't fit this rumor at all.
It seems that the rumors are sometimes not credible.
The staff accepted the two brands, scanned them with an instrument in their hands, and then clicked a few times, looked at Lu Ying, and seemed to be comparing something. After that, he nodded and let go.
Zishi saw that Lu Ying was interested in his brand, so he explained, "This is an identity card, and every member of Aoki Yuan has one. After you complete the admission procedures, you will also be issued a copy. ”
Lu Ying nodded.
Bai Zhi sacrificed her frisbee, and the three of them sat on the frisbee and rushed to Aokien, but when they were thirty miles away from Aokien, the frisbee could not be used, so the three of them came down and walked.
"Aokien stipulates that you are not allowed to fly within thirty miles of the garden, unless you are on official business. Zishi explained.
Lu Ying secretly wrote it down. When you first arrive, it's important to quickly understand the local regulations.
The three of them are in good health, and they all walk very fast, and the distance of thirty miles is estimated to be one hour.
As we walked, buildings gradually appeared on the road, most of them were shops doing various businesses, and there were some houses a little further away from the road.
Zishi explained that if the descendants of Aokien members did not meet Aokien's requirements, they could only live in Aokien Castle for free until they were sixteen years old, and then they would have to leave Aokien Castle. These people built houses outside Aokien Castle to live in, and as the number of these people increased, various residential areas appeared around Aokien. Some small groups within Aokien will also build a base in a place outside Aokien Castle for easy gathering.
There were tall towering giant trees on both sides of the road, and when he turned a corner along the road, a tall city wall suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ying. The city wall is composed of huge strips of stones, each piece is very compact and neat, and it is roughly estimated that the city wall can be thirty or forty zhang high!
Before, he couldn't see it because of the woods, but after turning the corner, a huge wall suddenly appeared in front of him, bringing Lu Ying an unparalleled shock. Lu Ying found a word to express the shock in her heart, opened her mouth and said, "High, it's high." ”
Zishi was very satisfied with Lu Ying's performance. Said proudly, "Shocked, in fact, I was shocked when I first came." It is said that when Aokien was first built, the area was occupied by wild beasts, and a tall castle was built to resist their attacks. The entire city, with the city wall as the main body, constitutes a huge defensive formation, and it is said that it is difficult for the Lian Yuan infant monk to break it!"
The Yuan Infant Stage is basically the highest combat power in the Xiuzhen World, and it can't be broken, doesn't it mean that this city is already invincible?
Bai Zhi pouted, "Dese, show off! This city was indeed built by your Shi family, but what does it have to do with you? The formation you designed? Or the construction you presided over?"
"Forehead ......" purple stone embarrassment.
Lu Ying smiled secretly in her heart. Along the way, he already had a little understanding of the relationship between the Bai family and the Shi family, both of which were big clans in the Yanghuo Sect, because they were both from Qinglong, so they had a good relationship, and they were world friends. Not only are they good friends from generation to generation, but they also marry from generation to generation. Bai Zhi and Zishi are often arranged together by people from the two families, intentionally or unintentionally, probably to match them. As a result, after the two met, they often quarreled, which meant that they were happy and enemies.
And Lu Ying has already affirmed that the Bai family where Bai Zhi is located is the Bai family where Bai Zhi asked him to return the exercises. Lu Ying has been hesitating to quietly stuff the jade slip on Bai Zhi in the past few days, but she is worried that according to Bai Zhi's unreliable temperament, it is very likely that she will casually throw the jade slip aside. Besides, even if he quietly stuffed it to Bai Zhi, the rest of the Bai family was not stupid, as long as he investigated, he could know that only Zishi and himself stayed by Bai Zhi's side in the past two days. Zishi is a member of the Shi family, and he knows the roots, so the only one who is suspicious is himself.
No, it's too dangerous. Lu Ying finally gave up this plan.
The architectural style of Aokien Castle is very consistent, most of them are three- or four-story buildings, basically no commercial atmosphere, all are residences, offices, training and learning places, and there are several large canteens scattered in the city to provide free meals to all personnel.
"All the basic living facilities in the city are free and open, restaurants, bathhouses, classic book halls, as well as primary training grounds, apothecaries, alchemy rooms, etc., but some places require reservations, such as training grounds.
In addition, the middle and high-level training grounds, apothecary rooms, alchemy rooms, etc., need to collect spirit stones or meritorious services before they can be used, and some of the materials in the classic library are also limited by rank and merit. ”
Aokien Castle is very large, about thirty miles wide and sixty miles long, running from east to west. ”
Aokien Castle is not actually a castle in the ordinary sense, it started as a military camp and castle, and now it is the headquarters of Aokien, so there is very little outside inhabitant and commercial atmosphere in it, and all the people in it are members of Aokien or mortals hired to work. ”
Zishi gave Lu Ying a general introduction to the situation of Aoki Garden.
Lu Ying understands this very well, Aoki Garden is actually a super-large management institution that has increased the function of life and residence! Well, it also has the function of a university.
It may be office study time now, and there are very few pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few people walk by in a hurry. Some mortals were hurriedly preparing something, presumably they were the people hired by Aokien to work.
"Actually, although Aokien recruits pharmacist apprentices in various places every year, not all the people recruited must be pharmacist apprentices. I heard Bai Zhi talk about some of your participation in the assessment, and I believe you also know that our assessment does not focus on medicinal herbs. ”
Lu Ying nodded.
"When the people recruited from all over the country arrive at Aoki Yuan Castle, there will be an entrance test. Don't be nervous, this test doesn't knock people out, unless the performance is too bad. In addition to the Spirit Grass Department, Aoki Yuan also has departments such as the Pill Pavilion, the Internal Affairs Hall, the Xingxun Hall, the War Hall, and so on, and people are needed everywhere. Arranging this test is actually to let each department look at the quality of the new members and secretly pick the people they want. ”
Well, that seems to make sense.
"It's here. Purple Stone stopped in front of a tower.
"Uh-huh?"
"This is the place where the entrance test is placed, let's go!"
