Chapter 104: Xiongcheng National Capital (I)
Xiao Ziyang thought about it, beckoned to Zhong Hui and Zhou Ji, called the two of them in front of him, patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a book
After Xiao Ziyang handed over the knife score to Zhong Hui, he earnestly taught the two to change their past wrongs, not to kill innocents indiscriminately from now on, and to practice chivalry and righteousness after learning martial arts, and help the poor.
Seeing that Zhong Hui hid the sword in his arms, Xiao Ziyang ignored his unwavering gaze and ordered Zhou Ji to take him to the carriage.
Closing his eyes and leaning in the carriage to think carefully about his future plans, Xiao Ziyang had already left behind the two thieves he had just subdued.
He never thought that his whims today would create a Zhonghui Zhong hero who will be famous in the future.
Fu'an City is located on the shores of Qingyuan Lake, the richest of the nine lakes.
Qingyuan Lake resembles a gourd, the lake is rich in fish and shrimp, and the lake is fertile for thousands of miles, making Anzhou, located on the south shore of this lake, one of the richest places in the entire Xiliang Empire.
As the second largest city in Xiliang, Fu'an Pier is busier than Xiang'an.
Xiao Ziyang came to the wharf, found a warehouse with a familiar car, and ordered a big dragon ship to leave for Jin'an City, Xiliang Capital City tomorrow morning.
For some reason, he did not return to Ganzhou as agreed with Song Nancheng that day.
Nearly 5,000 miles from Fu'an City, the capital city of Anzhou, to Jin'an City, Xiao Ziyang took a whole month to go down the river on a big dragon ship.
Xiao Ziyang asked for a spacious cabin on the upper floor, and after getting on the ship, he closed the door, copying Taoism in his heart all day long, pondering spells......
Xiao Ziyang found that "Purple Jade Smoke" was sent into his mind, and after he carefully pondered each sermon, he could feel a mysterious artistic conception. The texts recorded in "The First Solution of the Five Elements Dao Technique" and "The Decisive Fire of the Soul" are decent and lack this kind of artistic conception.
If the sermons in "The First Explanation of the Five Elements of Taoism" and "The Decisive Death of the Underworld" are compared to the calligraphy written by a teacher in the countryside, then the sermons in "Purple Jade and Smoke" can be compared to the hand-me-down works created by calligraphers.
Between his strokes, he can faintly reveal the artistic conception of heaven and earth represented by the Taoist text, but Xiao Ziyang's learning is shallow and he can't comprehend it for a while.
During the journey, Xiao Ziyang spent almost all of his time practicing the "Pure Heart Refining Mantra" for two hours a day, and meditating and practicing Qi instead of sleep for two hours.
A month later, Xiao Ziyang had compressed the casting time of the Invisible Slash to half a breath, and the casting time of the Invisible Escape to one breath. It can barely be used in actual combat.
As for the Spirit Armor Technique, as a second-level spell, it is composed of thirty-two Dao texts, among which there are five second-order Dao texts with labyrinth-like strokes, Xiao Ziyang is dizzy when he looks at it, let alone practice, besides, his current mana is not enough to perform this technique.
According to the introduction in the "Preliminary Solution of the Five Elements Dao Technique", a monk like Xiao Ziyang, who has just succeeded in condensing the method, can send out twenty or thirty first-level spells such as the Fire Bullet Technique, the Golden Needle Technique, the Wood Thorn Technique, the Water Knife Technique, the Earth Spear Technique, and so on. Xiao Ziyang can use the invisible slash spell, and he can release more than fifty in one breath. Obviously, among the monks of his level, he was already a strong man.
As for the Spirit Sword Technique and the Spirit Shield Technique, it is necessary to fill the dantian with mana before you can try to condense it, and Xiao Ziyang doesn't even want to think about the complexity of it.
The Spirit Sword Technique first condenses the purple jade mana into a half-moon-shaped mana flying sword. In the process of condensation, it was necessary to inject a total of more than 700 sermons into this flying sword several times, and among these more than 700 sermons, there were more than 30 second-order daowen texts like a labyrinth, not to mention, in addition to these more than 700 daowen, six second-order magic circles had to be arranged as skeletons!
If the sermon is compared to words, then the circle is a painting, and it is also the kind of delicate and deadly fine strokes. The complexity is unimaginable.
Fortunately, after the monk integrates the divine thought into the mana, while cultivating and improving the mana, it will also improve the divine thought, and the improvement of the divine mind will also improve the monk's intelligence, otherwise something as complex as the magic circle is simply not something that mortal wisdom can grasp.
The Spirit Shield Technique is simpler than the Spirit Sword Technique, with one second-order formation as the core and three first-order formations as the auxiliary. The Dao Texts that were the link were also much less than the Spirit Sword Technique, with only two hundred first-order Dao texts and ten second-order Dao texts. However, this is still not something that Xiao Ziyang can hope to master at this time.
Yongzhou, where Jin'an is located, is the smallest among the prefectures, only about half of the area of Chuzhou. But the population is the highest among the states, and its wealth is also the highest among the states.
The whole territory of Yongzhou is in the Nine Lakes Plain, and it is not too much to say that it is a thousand miles of fertile fields. And almost all of these thousands of miles of fertile fields are high-quality paddy fields. Its abundant grain production is not only sold in Xiliang, but also exported to various countries along the coast of the bitter sea. The Yongzhou Plain is even known as the first granary west of Taichu Mountain.
The big dragon ship that Xiao Ziyang was on was called Wang'an. Many of the passengers on the ship also came to Jin'an City for the first time like Xiao Ziyang. Therefore, early this morning, I heard from the crew that they could arrive at Jin'an at noon, and everyone went out of the hatch to guard the bow of the ship, hoping to see the style of the legendary world's first male city as soon as possible.
Xiao Ziyang was also mixed in the crowd, and he couldn't wait to see this majestic capital of Xiliang in his father's mouth.
The first thing that caught Xiao Ziyang's eyes was a rather strange mountain, which was strange because this mountain could hardly be called a mountain, because the height and breadth of this mountain were really disproportionate. The width of its base is more than ten times its height. From a distance, you'd think it's just a little dirt bag.
Today's wind and sun are beautiful, the dense fog on the Jiuqu River has long dissipated at this time, standing on the high dragon ship, you can vaguely see the land on the north bank of the wide Jiuqu River in the distance. If you compare the 100-mile-wide river with the small dirt bag that you suspected just now, you will be surprised to find that the width of the foot of the small dirt bag is even wider than half of the river.
It is not difficult for those who know a little about arithmetic to calculate that the strange mountain that looks like a small dirt bag is actually a huge mountain peak that is 500 miles high and 10,000 meters high on Thursday.
When the Jiuqu River is about to enter the bitter sea, the river surface gradually narrows, and the water flow gradually accelerates.
The speed of the Great Dragon Ship also increased. As the Great Dragon Ship moved forward, the true face of that strange giant peak gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.
