Chapter 35 Yunhua City, the national capital
"Do you know them?" asked Quan Yunhan as he looked at Suma and Santa, who were walking away, and asked Ji Feng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yesterday, they searched for something from me, but they didn't find it. ”
"They're looking for the Fire Nation Iron Scroll, don't you know?"
Ji Feng frowned and did not reply.
"Didn't your master tell you? With the iron scroll, you can enter the Far North, and there is hope to join the Donghua Gate, although there is little hope, but you can give it a go. ”
"I don't know, my master has been missing for a long time. "Ji Feng didn't want to reveal the news that he had the Fire Nation Iron Scroll.
Quan Yunhan took out an iron scroll from his pocket and put it in front of Ji Feng's eyes,
"If you have such an iron scroll, you can go to the Far North, and it's ridiculous that those Fire Nation people lost their iron scrolls and wanted to get them back. Quan Yunhan was a little disdainful of the people of the Fire Country, but he recognized Ji Feng's strength and thought that Ji Feng could also go to the extreme north to give it a try.
Ji Feng glanced at the iron scroll in front of Quan Yunhan, and found that there was not much difference from the fire country iron scroll on his body, but the background of the iron scroll was not three clusters of fire, but three clouds, and there was still a faint purple intent under these three clouds, although it was faint, but the majesty that was revealed was not to be offended.
"What is this?" Ji Feng asked calmly.
"This is the Izumo country iron scroll, and the three clouds on this iron scroll are the country name representing the Izumo country. With this iron scroll, you can enter the trial of the extreme north, and those who succeed enter the immortal gate, and those who fail are dead. ”
"You're going to the Far North?"
"Well, but I'm going to go to Huoyun City first, and if you want to enter the Extreme North Trial, you can take a trip to Huoyun City with me. ”
"Why?" Huoyun City is the border between the Fire Nation and Izumo Country, it belongs to the border city, not a small city like Guanghua City can be compared, the two countries were at war before, under the Fire Cloud City, there were millions of corpses, since Yin Wuxu unified the eight countries, the relationship between the two countries has improved, and Huoyun City has also become a place of exchange between the two countries.
"There are only so many of these iron rolls in each country, if you want to get more, you either grab it or gamble. There is such a casino in Huoyun City, bet on iron rolls, play the game yourself, and you can get the opponent's iron rolls if you win, if you go to the competition, I can lend you my iron rolls to bet. ”
"No need, I've got something. Ji Feng already had an iron scroll of the Fire Nation on his body, so he naturally didn't want to take any more risks, "Since you have the iron scroll of the Izumo Kingdom, why do you want to go to Fire Cloud City to gamble." ”
"I only have one iron scroll in the Sword Cutting Gate, but my junior brother Zhan Ping also wants to enter the Far North, so I went to Huoyun City to win an iron scroll. ”
"Anyone who owns an iron roll should not be a mediocre hand. ”
"I'm not going to lose. Quan Yunhan said this, his face remained unchanged, it seemed to be taken for granted, such an almost conceited self-confidence, so not overbearing!
Ji Feng knew that Quan Yunhan was like this, and so was the knife technique of the knife cutting door, holding the knife, he had nothing to fear. Quan Yunhan would smile and say to the people of the Fire Nation that he might not be able to defeat Ji Feng, but if he really faced Ji Feng, once he held the knife, he would also despise everything.
Ji Feng didn't answer again, nor did he say goodbye, packed up the dragon teeth and drank blood, didn't say a word, lowered his head slightly, so that people couldn't see his pure black eyes, took care of himself, and walked towards Cao Moucai.
A smile tugged at the corner of Quan Yunhan's mouth, watched Ji Feng walk away, then turned over and got on his horse, and left towards the outside of the city.
Guanghua Castle, located in the west of Izumo Country, is more than 1,300 miles away from the national capital Yunhua City, Yecheng is in the northeast of Izumo Country, but Cao Mucai Yecheng happened to pass by the national capital.
This trip has been going for more than a month, and the walking is becoming more and more difficult. Cao Moucai was not stingy with his subordinates, and he always had wine and meat, but one thing was not negotiable, how many miles he walked every day, as if he had planned a ruler, and it was extremely accurate, even if the rain was pouring down, and the carriage was covered with a black pen, he still had to hurry, but these subordinates never had a word of complaint.
Ji Feng was in good health and could endure these hardships, but Cao Mu was a little reluctant to go, afraid that Ji Feng would suffer all the way, and explained again and again,
"The falling feather yarn can't wait, the falling feather yarn needs to be dyed within a few months, otherwise after this time, it won't look good if it is dyed again, and after that time, Meng Lijun will be angry, then this matter will be terrible." ”
Cao Mucai has always had no lack of respect for Meng Lijun when he talked about it, but when he talked about Meng Lijun who was very angry, his face was bleak and terrible.
This way was in a hurry, but Ji Feng had gained a lot of knowledge, and when he arrived at the country Yunhua City, Ji Feng thought that Cao Mu would rest for a while and leave, but unexpectedly stopped for a day and let everyone rest.
When Ji Feng first saw this Yunhua City, he was also shocked, the city wall was more than ten zhang high, and the atmosphere was majestic. There are many soldiers on the city wall, the golden armor is Changge, how can the captain of Guanghua City get up eleven, behind the city wall, there are occasional corner towers, as if the eyes of the giant beast that has been dormant for thousands of years
Walking into Yunhua City, the street in it can be parallel to more than ten carriages, and there are four buildings in the four corners of the city that are higher than the corner towers, which are the pavilions of the four pillars of the founding of Izumo Province.
At the beginning, he helped Yin Wuxu to unify the eight countries, in addition to the thirty-three howling wolf riders who returned to the wilderness, there were also some friends made in Cloud City, only four of these friends survived the battle, Yin Wuxu later named them the Four Pillars Country, which means the pillars of the country, and allowed them to build a house higher than the corner tower, which shows how much favor they received.
However, the most conspicuous in the city is still the palace in the middle, which is twice as high as the buildings of the Four Pillars. Sticking to the ridge of the roof is the eaves of the dragon with golden scales and golden armor, endless glazed tiles, and then up, bright and sparkling, the roof of the palace, directly to the sky.
Cao Mu knew that Ji Feng was coming to Yunhua City for the first time, so he led Ji Feng to the palace, the palace was majestic, not like a human residence. However, the northwest corner of the palace was not the pure gold of the main hall, but a trace of blood, as if the blood was sprouting from the corner of the wall, and it was like jade for no reason.
Ji Feng's eyes lit up, and he could see the difference at a glance, Cao Mu glanced around, and then whispered in Ji Feng's ear:
"This ruin palace was built by the order of the founding monarch Yin Wuxu. At that time, the national teacher Yue Qingkong disagreed, saying, "If you build a palace here, you can only burn it, and the three dynasties with this city as the capital, each dynasty has not existed for more than ten years, and even the Yun Kingdom will be destroyed by you." Because the northwest corner of this place offends the ruin star, this ruin star is the star of the dead country, and it can't shine here at sunrise, and it can't dissipate the bad luck of the ruin star. ’
At the beginning, after Yin Wuxu destroyed the Yin Kingdom and killed the Desert, his temperament changed greatly, and he didn't even listen to the words of the Four Pillars of the Izumo Country, and only the national teacher Yue Qingkong dared to deny his decision in person.
Yin Wuxu thought for a long time before saying: "I captured Xueyin City and owe him a national capital, and his favorite place is here, not to mention offending Xuxing Xing, I am offending Xuangu Xing, and I will build it too." ’
In later generations, some people often believed that the reason why Yin Wuxu died three years after establishing the Izumo Kingdom was that the disaster came from his mouth and offended Xuangu Xing, because Xuangu Xing was the life star.
In order to build the imperial palace, Yin Wuxu wanted to continue the national throne for a long time, so he listened to the suggestion of Yue Qingkong, and buried thousands of prisoners alive in the northwest corner of the palace to suppress the ruin star, and also built the Temple of Heaven in the northwest corner of Yunhua City, also to suppress the ruin star.
A hundred years have passed, and the blood in this northwest corner is said to be the resentment of the thousands of dead captives, slowly eroding out, but these are all heard, and they should not be true. ”
Although Cao Mucai said so, he looked left and right, afraid that others would listen to it, and obviously believed it.
Ji Feng stared at the northwest corner of the palace for a moment, but he didn't see anything, as if he couldn't see through a thin veil.
"But although this palace is majestic, but the luxury is less than one-ten-thousandth of the Temple of Heaven, today is the annual Heavenly Sacrifice, let's go to the Temple of Heaven to see, I will take you to see the palace, Xiao Chu They must have gone to see the Heavenly Sacrifice." ”
Ji Feng suddenly thought, no wonder on the edge of the palace, except for some soldiers guarding the palace, there was almost no one else, it turned out that they all went to see the Temple of Heaven.
Cao Moucai took Ji Feng to the northwest of the city, familiar with the road, it seemed to be a person from Yunhua City, seeing Ji Feng's doubts, Cao Moucai explained:
"Every year at the Heavenly Festival, I came, and I was in a hurry on the way, firstly, to send the falling feather yarn to Yecheng earlier, and on the other hand, to catch up with this Heavenly Sacrifice. ”
"Heavenly sacrifice?"
"The founding of the country, the national teacher Yue Qingkong, said that this is to ask for life, because everyone deserves to die, but you can pray to the heavens to let you live longer. ”
"Do you believe it?"
"What is there to believe, I am a person in a hurry, my life is as shallow as duckweed, and if you see the national teacher, you will believe it. ”
When Ji Feng arrived at the Temple of Heaven, the front of the Temple of Heaven was already crowded, and Ji Feng saw the Temple of Heaven through the crowded crowd.
Stars!
Ji Feng's feeling when he saw the Temple of Heaven was like this, the Temple of Heaven, which was more than 100 zhang large, only supported the roof with sixty pillars, and the roof was not a colored glazed tile, but a carved basalt, this kind of rock condensed after the volcanic eruption, extremely bleak.
The floor of the Temple of Heaven is covered with pure black, crystal clear obsidian, and the obsidian is connected, and there is no gap, like a star, a star that echoes the ruin star in the distance.
Above the Temple of Heaven, hundreds of young girls knelt on the ground, surrounding the person in the middle. The one in the middle, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, said that he was praying for blessings, and Ji Feng seemed to be pretending to sleep. But under the Temple of Heaven, no one dared to make a sound, and they were in awe of the national teacher.
Ji Feng looked at the national teacher, but he didn't see any clues, and the national teacher naturally seemed to be really sleeping.
Suddenly, the national teacher's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked straight at Ji Feng from a distance of hundreds of zhang, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.
Ji Feng's whole body stiffened for no reason, he could see through other people, but today he seemed to be completely seen through by this national teacher.
