Chapter 33: The Capital of the World

To the north of Andingjo Castle is Shiogawa Castle, and in Shiocheon Castle, there is a wide river everywhere, and many boats are parked by the river, most of which are cargo ships carrying salt.

To the west of Yanchuan Castle is to the west wind pass, to the south is Anding City, and to the north is Youding City.

To the east of the Shiogawa River, there is a mountain range called the Tianxuan Mountains.

Above the Tianxuan Mountain Range, there is the largest immortal gate in the Central Plains, the Xuanqing faction.

Shiocheon is an ancient capital and an extremely important trading city. Coupled with the geographical advantages of extending in all directions, it often becomes a place of right and wrong for people in the rivers and lakes. However, this place has not been destroyed by war, there is no need for heavy garrisons, and no one dares to attack such a place.

Because in Yanchuan City, there are people from the rivers and lakes, disciples of the Xianmen, and not far from the east, there are also Xuanqing faction guards.

Because this city does not belong to any country, but to the Xuanqing faction.

If you want to say that those cities were very big before, compared to Shiokawa, it is completely more sesame than watermelon.

The city alone is divided into the outer city and the inner city, and even if all the cities you have passed through before are added up, it is not bigger than this one.

The river of Yanchuan City is vertical and horizontal, the streets are wide, there are a total of nine rivers, seven rivers in the outer city are in the vertical and horizontal of Fengzi, and two rivers in the inner city are crisscrossed.

The entire Yanchuan can be said to be the capital of the world, and even the imperial city cannot be compared. Some people have lived in it all their lives, and there are many places they have not visited.

The three gates of the entire outer city are in the north, south and west, and the outer city is unguarded. There is a gate in the inner city, and the people inside are either rich or noble, and there are Xianmen disciples guarding the door, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

At first, Yanchuan Castle was very small, and at that time the Xuanqing faction was still a little-known sect.

It was not until later that due to the turbulence of the times and frequent wars, many people migrated to their homes and sought refuge in the fairy gate.

There is a salt lake at the foot of the Tianxuan Mountains in the east of Yanchuan City, and with its unique geographical advantages, it has developed rapidly.

Especially in the last few hundred years, Xuanqing sent some powerful figures, and the sect became more and more famous, and then Yanchuan City became a place for people from the rivers and lakes, a trading city for businessmen, and Anding City, which was hundreds of miles away to the south, became a peaceful place.

When I first arrived at Yanchuan, I saw that the city gate was as high as more than ten zhang, like a mountain. The atmosphere is majestic and magnificent.

"What a tall gate. Yuan Cheng stood on the bluestone road outside the city, opened his hat and looked at Yanchuan City not far away.

"Otherwise, how can it be called the capital of the Central Plains? There is everything in this city, and you will not be surprised when you stay for a few days. Wan Zhushu yawned after speaking.

The two of them were sleepy-eyed, and they didn't look like they had woken up.

"It's all your fault, even if you rush all night, I actually talked to you all night, and when I enter the city, I have to go and make up for my sleep first. Wan Jushu snorted.

"You didn't sleep last night, so you had to sit by the campfire and ask this and that, so I didn't sleep. While it was still early, I hurried to catch up on sleep after entering the city, and I was sleepy. Yuan Cheng also looked tired.

"I agree with you very much, let's go. Wan Zhushu urged.

After entering the city, I didn't look closely, and quickly found an inn to live in.

As soon as Yuan Cheng arrived in the room, he quickly asked the inn to bring water, and fell asleep in the bathtub.

After Yuan Cheng woke up, he got up and wrapped his robe and got into the quilt.

The little fox came from the other end of the bed and lay on Yuan Cheng's chest.

Anyway, Yuan Cheng slept with the little fox, and when Yuan Cheng woke up, the little fox was also sleeping, and the little fox should also be practicing and growing, because Yuan Cheng obviously felt that the little fox was getting heavier and heavier.

"Anyway, it's about the same as a pig, raise it to 300 catties and sell it, hahaha. Yuan Cheng blurted out in a haze.

The little fox's erected little ears moved, and then a spirit, looking up at Yuan Cheng, fell asleep again.

I had a lot of dreams, and in my dreams I went back to the days when I was a child, when I was giggling with Han Shao, and when I was bullied by Sister Yao'er. Later, I dreamed that the little fox turned into a handsome young man, I dreamed that Wan Zhushu smiled like a flower, I dreamed that I galloped the world with Hanshao, and finally dreamed that I climbed to the sky in one step, but I fell into an endless abyss with one foot.

Yuan Chengmeng woke up and found that he was lying on the bed, and the little fox was lying on his chest and sleeping soundly.

It turned out to be a dream, Yuan Cheng thought about it, fell down again and continued to fall asleep.

Before you know it, the sun is already in the sky.

Suddenly there was a bang, and Yuan Cheng sat up violently.

"It's that ten thousand pigs again, can't you sleep a little longer?" Yuan Cheng muttered to open the door.

Dressed in white, he can win the snow, and his face is as delicate as the moon. is used to seeing Wan Zhushu's men's dress, and Yuan Cheng is also used to it.

"Stinky orange, now let's go to Yanchuan City together? Wan Zhushu leaned over and fanned the wind beside Yuan Cheng.

"I was woken up by you, so I had to go out for a walk. Yuan Cheng had a bitter gourd face.

In Shiogawa Castle, at the door of the blacksmith shop.

"Master, if there is a finished knife here, bring me one. Yuan Cheng asked.

"Little brother is too discerning, I have countless magic weapons in this blacksmith shop, I have any knives, I don't need to pick ordinary knives, if you want a good one, come with me." "The master of the smithy shop was a big man, shirtless, with many burn marks on his exposed arms, which only added to the smell of fierceness.

As soon as I entered the inner hall of the blacksmith shop, I saw many weapon racks on the ground, which were filled with all kinds of knives.

Yuan Cheng walked to the side of the knife and saw more than ten kinds of knives, each with a different style, and couldn't help but sigh at the superb craftsmanship of the blacksmith master.

Finally, I saw an inconspicuous knife in the corner, which was ordinary in appearance, but it was particularly attractive to Yuan Cheng.

"Master, I want this knife, how many taels. Yuan Cheng picked up the knife and couldn't put it down.

"The little brother is really an expert, although this knife seems ordinary, it is actually a treasure knife. When the blacksmith saw Yuan Cheng's appearance, he was thinking about how to ask for a little more silver.

"Isn't it the Ten Heavenly Lack of Blades, can it also be regarded as a treasure sword?" Wan Jushu said.

"Compared to the ten unique weapons, there is indeed a world of difference, the key is that if there is that kind of weapon, no one is willing to sell it. Well, I won't ask for much of you, eighty taels of silver. The master blacksmith held on to the weapon rack and said casually.

"It's so expensive, let's go look elsewhere. Wan Zhushu pulled Yuan Chengcheng to leave.

"Don't, two little brothers, the so-called meeting is fate. In this way, I can't bear to cut my love, how about sixty taels?" the blacksmith smiled.

"I have a fine steel sword here, and I see that you have a sign on your door to buy all kinds of weapons. Look at how much my sword is worth, can you exchange it for your sword?" Yuan Cheng handed over the stainless steel sword in his hand.

"Well, it's a good sword, it's extremely sharp and moderately hard. But if you want to exchange my sword, you will have to add more silver. Seeing that your sword is worth thirty taels, add another thirty taels to me, and the sword will be yours. The master blacksmith put away his sword and placed it on the weapon rack.

"Deal. Yuan Cheng took out thirty taels and handed them to the blacksmith master.

"The two little brothers walk slowly, welcome to come back. The blacksmith happily sent them to the door.

"Wan Zhu Zhu, why are you pinching me!" Yuan Cheng called out and looked at Wan Zhushu.

"You have a lot of money, this can be fooled, if I come to talk to him, it will be enough to add ten taels at most. Wan Zhushu said angrily.

"You didn't say it earlier, why did you go just now? Besides, it's not easy for people to do some business, so it doesn't hurt to give a little more. Yuan Cheng added, and then took the knife in his hand and looked left and right.

It is indeed a good knife! You look at the pattern on it, revealing a simple taste, and the back of the knife is so wide, but the steel mouth is extremely sharp, even in this hot afternoon, it invisibly reveals a kind of cold.

Hearing what Wan Zhushu said, Yuan Cheng raised the knife and looked in the sun, only to see that the blade of the knife was slightly flashing with a red light, so Yuan Cheng swung a knife at the river on the side of the road.

Rumble!

I saw that the river was divided into two, creating a two-foot-deep ravine, and the water on both sides stirred up a certain height.

"Such a strong force, this brother Tai's skills are extraordinary, he must be a master. Someone on the side of the road suddenly said.

The two of them turned around when they heard the sound, but they didn't see any passers-by.

"Who is it?" asked Yuan Cheng.

"In Xia Mu Tiange, I just saw Brother Tai cut off the water with a knife, and his skills are amazing. I can't help but sigh, there is no malice. "There was a sound from the roof next to it.

I saw a person on the roof wearing a green coat and white pants, with his hair tied in a bun, and the two sword eyebrows were particularly eye-catching. His eyes are electrified, his nose is straight, his mouth is square, and he is smiling, and his appearance is quite good. On his back he carried a long sword, and on his waist hung a milky white jade pendant, decorated with two small bells.
