Episode 11: Handu
Thousands of miles south from the Fengyun Mountain Dojo, after crossing Tiansha, you will enter the scope of the capital of the Han Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As one of the most powerful countries in the world, the capital city of Luoyang, is known for its majestic buildings and ingenious architectural designs.
At present, on the official road outside Luoyang City, an inconspicuous carriage convoy is slowly coming.
The first person was Shi Shaozhang, the head of the Shi family, and after traveling thousands of miles, Li Yichen and the Shi family finally came to Luoyang City.
After nearly half a month's trip, Li Yichen did not take a step out of the carriage, and his daily food was sent in by Zhu'er. Gongsun Yan did not come to disturb Li Yichen, which made Li Yichen feel very strange.
Because of this, he was also happy to think carefully about He Zudao's Infinite Sword Chapter and the last Mind Chapter in his hand, and the realm of entering the Dao was consolidated a lot. At this time, Li Yichen could already see the free aura in the air.
The Tao method is to express the practitioner's own thoughts by manipulating the aura. The higher the realm, the greater the amount of aura that can be manipulated, and the stronger the power of the Dao method that can be cast. Now, the aura of the outside world has been taken away by the Xuan Realm and other Xuanmen with the Spirit Gathering Array, and the aura in the mortal dust is pitiful.
Of course, Reiki itself is not used by cultivators. It can only be used through cultivation, Zhou Tian Cycle, and Heavenly Star Connections to transform the Spiritual Qi into something that belongs to the same group as itself. There was once a cultivator who wanted to directly manipulate the aura in the air, but in the end, he ended up exploding and dying.
The aura is extremely friendly to Li Yichen, but whenever Li Yichen wants to absorb the aura into his body and circulate Zhou Tian for refining, the cold vortex in the purple mansion will produce a great resistance force. The meridians for the spiritual energy to run have become extremely stiff, and it is impossible to form a complete Zhou Tian operation, which is the foundation of all martial arts Dao Methods, if Zhou Tian cannot be operated, the Dao Law can only have an empty form.
"Well, I really don't know what to do with this... At the moment, only the eldest grandson may be able to give me some advice. Li Yichen lifted the curtain next to the carriage, and outside the curtain, the magnificent moat and towering city walls of Luoyang City were falling into view, "This, we have arrived in Luoyang?"
Li Yichen's most advanced wall from childhood to adulthood may be the earthen wall of Linyun Village, but today's Luoyang city wall is made of bluestone bricks, each of which is one person high, and the total is nearly 20 zhang.
The city wall has 20 zhang, and the city gate does not show weakness, and the dragon carving of the left and right door pages is made of iron lacquer. If you look closely, there are still some cracks on this city gate, which must have been in the past.
Li Yichen got out of the carriage and did it in front of the carriage: "This place is really too big." ”
"Sir, you are out. ”
The voice of a timid girl came, and Li Yichen found that there was a girl in the age of fifteen or sixteen walking next to the carriage.
"Are you?!"
"The eldest grandson sent me to serve you, and I didn't dare to go in to make a trip when I saw that you hadn't come out of the carriage for several days. ”
The girl looked weak and beautiful, which made people feel a sense of pity. Mei Gu Tiancheng may be talking about this kind of woman, although she is not very old, there is a strange charm between her gestures.
"You don't have to be too restrained..."Li Yichen couldn't think of anything to say for a while, after all, he was not used to having a woman take care of him all the year round, "You come up and sit, the space on the carriage is still very large." ”
The woman hesitated for a moment, pinched the corner of her clothes with her hand, her face turned red and murmured, "Okay." ”
Li Yichen got into the carriage first, and the woman also got in.
The two sat opposite each other, and Li Yichen asked first, "What's your name?"
"My real name is Ye Liuqing, just call me Qing'er. ”
"Okay, Qing'er... Actually, I don't have much contact with women on weekdays, and I don't really need to serve anything. If you are happy to stay with me, you can be together, and if you are not happy, you can leave at any time. Li Yichen was neither humble nor arrogant, but the speed of his speech was slightly faster because of nervousness.
"Huh?" Qing'er was a little surprised, "That's all?"
"That's all," Li Yichen said, "Otherwise, I'll just sit outside the carriage and look at the scenery." You're tired all the way, so just rest inside. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Yichen hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out, leaving Qing'er with a stunned face.
"These maids under the eldest grandson are all charming, which makes people feel uncomfortable. Li Yichen said secretly in his heart. Now that the carriage convoy has entered the Chang'an City Gate and delivered the silver into the city, Gongsun Yan rode a tall horse towards Li Yichen's carriage, and saw Li Yichen sitting outside the carriage and said with a smile: "Why is Mr. sitting outside?"
"Haha, let Qing'er rest in the carriage, and I'll sit outside. Li Yichen said lightly.
Changsun Yan smiled: "Qing'er was picked up from the battlefield when I was a child, and she is also a person with a lot of secrets like her husband. ”
"Oh?" Li Yichen said, "I really didn't see it." ”
"The more you have been exposed to, the more you will understand. You usually live and live, just ask her to do anything you need. The eldest grandson said, "Today we entered Luoyang City, and we have booked an inn. You and I just went to ask Xianlou about the autumn exam. ”
"Ask the Immortal Building?" Li Yichen suddenly remembered the Asking Immortal Tower in Linyun Village, and couldn't help but feel an urge to laugh.
"The wine of asking immortals is a must in Luoyang, and it is not much better than the spirits of the ancient times. Sir, don't tell me you don't drink. ”
"I drank some wine, but I didn't know how to do it. ”
"It's okay, it's up to the point. Changsun Yan said lightly, "The front is the Changning Inn, I want to prepare the sundries of the Andong family, and when it gets a little dark, let's go to the fairy building together." ”
"Good. Li Yichen said.
Qing'er in the carriage also came out at this time, and when she saw the eldest grandson, she saluted respectfully: "I've seen Gongzi." ”
"Serve Mr. Li well. The eldest grandson glanced at her, and then rode away.
"The eldest grandson has a very cold attitude towards you. Li Yichen said.
Qing'er smiled: "Childe has always been like this, only when he is right, the smile is the most." ”
This sentence gave Li Yichen goosebumps: "... This..."
"Maybe there is something unusual about him, but we don't notice it. "Qing'er is serious.
Li Yichen coughed twice: "Don't make fun of me." ”
"It's not a joke of Mr...."Qing'er was a little frightened, and made a gesture to kneel.
"Don't be so restrained in the future, you and I are not much older. Li Yichen hurriedly supported Qing'er, and then took a few steps back.
The charm in Qing'er's eyes retreated slightly, and Li Yichen's various performances showed that this person was different: "Yes, sir." ”
Li Yichen nodded: "I just want to go out and visit Luoyang City, after all, I have never been here." Are you going to come with me?"
"Yes. Qing'er nodded.
Li Yichen took a step and got out of the carriage, at this time the carriage was parked on a vast flat land, Changning Inn is one of the largest inns in Luoyang City, receiving foreign convoy caravans all year round. The addition of the Shi family's convoy did not make it seem too crowded, and the servants of the Shi family were busy, and the bits and pieces of the car were removed.
Qing'er led the way in front, and Li Yichen followed Qing'er to the outside.
Luoyang City is very lively.
If Linyun Village and Ziluo Lake can be regarded as popular, then Luoyang City can be regarded as noisy.
Changning Inn is located in the alleys of Luoyang City, which can be called a mixture of fish and dragons, and Li Yichen's simple dress at this time cannot attract anyone's attention.
"It's a great place, and I'm sure I'll make a lot of money copying here. Li Yichen thought about it, thinking that it was good to earn a few taels of silver a month in Linyun Village, but it would definitely increase a hundred times here.
"Luoyang is the capital of the Han Kingdom, and it is good for Mr. to be low-key. Qing'er said on the side, "At this time, it's still early, what do you think?"
Li Yichen thought for a while and said, "What kind of bookstore is there in Luoyang?"
Qing'er said: "That's nature, there is a wonderful place in Luoyang Alley called 'Dafang'. There are countless books in it, so if you want to go, please come with me. ”
"Let's go. Li Yichen was interested when he heard this, and hurriedly followed Qing'er forward.
The Luoyang building complex is roof with octagonal roofs, the eaves on all sides are upturned, and all kinds of fierce beasts are decorated on them. Li Yichen and Qing'er walked for more than half an hour, and the huge plaque in front of them instantly attracted his attention.
"Generous?!" Li Yichen shouted unconsciously, "What a generous." ”
Big and square, also known as it intended. The foyer is square, and the plaque is on top of it. The two bluestone lions are separated from each other, and there is an endless stream of people at the entrance, and many vendors selling books are waiting for customers to choose. On the wall on the right side of Dafang, many people are looking at something, and the praise in their mouths is non-stop.
"You see, the son of the Zhan family is on the list. ”
"Ma Yingfeng is also on the list..."
“...”
Li Yichen was very curious, and asked Chao Qing'er, "What is this?"
"Sir, this is the Liuyun List. The people on the list are all young talents under the age of 20. ”
"Oh... How did you choose this?" asked Li Yichen.
Qing'er thought for a while: "In previous years, it relied on the results of the autumn exam, but now that Dahan has canceled the death match order, many geniuses have been killed and removed, and the rankings on this list have begun to change." ”
"Oh.." Li Yichen was not a person who loved to kill, and he was a little surprised to hear that many people on the Liuyun List were relying on death matches to exchange rankings, "This is too cruel." ”
Qing'er chuckled: "If you don't kill someone, you will be collected by heaven, and you will inevitably die anyway, and the higher you rank on the Liuyun list, the more benefits you will get." This also confirms the old saying, people die for money, and birds die for food. ”
After saying this, Qing'er's eyes showed a cold glow, which made people feel a little cold.
Li Yichen had to laugh dryly, in his opinion, this was not in line with the value orientation of cultivators. This is related to the fact that he has been practicing in the Fengyun Mountain Dojo all the year round, and Fengyun Mountain has always respected life, which is very different from the idea that the heaven and earth in the Xuan Realm are unkind and all things are used as dogs.
"If Mr. has the ability, he may also become a member of the list after the autumn test. But if you become a member of the list, you will also become the target of all cultivators. Qing'er said lightly.
"Look! There's a deathmatch ahead!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted loudly, and Li Yichen followed the prestige, and many people had already gathered in a certain direction.
"It's really whatever you say. Qing'er said on the side, "Why don't we go together and see what the real deathmatch is." ”
Li Yichen thought for a moment and responded, "Okay." ”
