Uncle Qi was unusually wary of Xiao Hua at first, and he treated Xiao Jian even more aggressively, but after a few times of contact, Xiao Jian stayed away from Uncle Qi's vicinity, except that Yuan Ya would sometimes come to Xiao Jian to "greeting" Only Qi Jin strikes up conversations with Xiao Jian from time to time! In short, Xiao Jian lived this journey very lonely, even felt like walking on pins and needles, as if there was a pair of eyes behind his back that wanted to see through him. Now he had the opportunity to get rid of these eyes, how could he not cherish it?
After waiting for Xiao Hua and others to say goodbye to everyone, it was You Zhongquan who was reluctant to part with him. Xiao Hua treated him very well, not only gave him a lot of spirit dates, but even got a bigu formula from Liu Yi! How could Yi You Zhongquan's intelligence not know that this was Xiao Hua's acquiescence? If it weren't for Xiao Hua being a Taoist monk, You Zhongquan almost thought that Xiao Hua wanted to accept himself as a disciple! Even the idea of ??Xiao Hua's family having a little girl growing up was born!
? Seeing You Zhongquan and Liu Yi embracing goodbye, Xiao Hua smiled, since he met You Zhongquan again, would he let him slip away? It's just a family of Confucianism cultivators, and when his cultivation base is restored, he doesn't need to do anything else, as long as he puts a pair of ranger's wings on You Zhongquan, wouldn't You Zhongquan obediently follow him?
"Huang Yi, Huang Yi" Xiao Hua turned his head and looked into the depths of the sky, "Xiao doesn't know where you are, whether it's Netherworld or Xiaoyu Continent; Xiao also doesn't know if You Zhongquan You are talking about You Zhongquan, but if Xiao can meet him, it is fate, Xiao has benefited you a lot, and this cause and effect will fall on him in the future, if you have a spirit"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hua suddenly burst out laughing, if Huang Yi had a spirit in Nine Heavens, he would have been furious already, right? You Zhongquan's little ladyis actually the queen of the Great Confucian surnamed Chang! Not Huang Yi! ! !
Xiao Jian finally came back to life, he was no longer lifeless before, and he whispered something next to Xiao Hua, except for a smile on his face, he was respectful, and now he understood that Xiao Hua is definitely an unfathomable Senior Taoist! Rather than the meticulous work he thought at the beginning. And this unfathomable is really unfathomable, not just the kind he usually perfuses others. However, after walking for more than ten days, the surrounding scenery has gradually changed. There are more and more low-rise houses and villages with smoke from the kitchen. Yes, as if he had never seen it before, every once in a while he asked Yuan Ya to find some food for him, and he enjoyed it alone! Even his past, and his ruined Taoist cultivation were not mentioned at all. This kind of stubbornness made Xiao Hua admire very much, and some of the previous hatred was also less. In fact, people are very complicated and have many faces. No matter what Xiao Jian's character is, there will always be some advantages in him.
It was more than ten days before Xiao Hua and others came to a big city! But seeing that this big city is tens of feet high, the city walls are built with blue stone bricks several feet in length. There are some mottled brown and black colors in the gaps between the stone bricks, or some dark green moss. The whole city wall is not particularly flat. Straight, there are a lot of potholes on the brick surface, the potholes are big and small, the big ones are several feet or ten times square, covering several boulders, and the small ones are the size of a thumb and several inches deep. These potholes are connected together by hair-thin cracks. In addition to the thick brown-black accumulation in the gaps between the stone bricks, this color is also deposited in the potholes of the entire city wall, which looks heavy!
?Specifically, in this twilight, the darkness is unreservedly uncovered and reflected on the city wall, and the light and shade, light and shadow are like a sad note sprinkled on the city wall.
On the city wall, there are so many flags stretching for several miles that you can't see the end at a glance. The flagpoles of these flags are as thick as the mouth of a bowl and about one foot high. The flags on the flagpoles are also several feet in size. The totem is also written with huge copper pillars, "Xu" and other words. These flags fluttered in the strong wind, as if there was a feeling of golden drums beating together, and with the sound of "dong dong dong" drums, and on the city wall, people wearing armor and holding hands Taking weapons and quickly running along the city wall to change defenses gave people the illusion of war.
"Daddy Our capital is so high!" A childish voice sounded from Xiao Hua's side, Xiao Hua looked away from the big city, it was a child about three years old riding on the neck of a strong man on, exclaiming in surprise.
"That's right! Niu'er, this is the capital of my Copper Pillar Kingdom! It's also the capital that Dad told you about before, and it can't be conquered even under the joint attack of 40,000 soldiers from the Three Kingdoms!" The strong man said with a loud voice.
"My child knows!" The childish voice replied, "They surrounded our capital for ten days and nights, but they were unable to attack the city wall. In the end, our lord led a large group of troops back to the capital to help the capital, with 8,000 troops. After killing the enemy, he was defeated and fled!"
"Look, the traces on the city wall were all stoned back then! Those stones are like falling rain, and only my Copper Pillar KingdomA large city and powerful soldiers can withstand such a fierce attack! "The strong man said, looked up at the soldiers running back and forth on the city wall, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that it's a war again, otherwise Daddy can take you up the city wall to have a look!" "
"It's okay, Daddy, when the child grows up, he will also join the army! At that time, the child will personally go to the city wall to defend" Zhitong said very seriously.
"Haha, that's right, this is the child of my Copper Pillar Kingdom! Daddy is waiting for the day when you will be on duty above the capital!" The man laughed and carried the child towards the gate of the city several feet in size.
"Hey" Xiao Jian sneered, "The Copper Pillar Kingdom is full of militarism, and the capital is nothing more than that!"
"Xiao Daoye is right!" Liu Yi stood up on the carriage, and said with a smile, "I have been to the capitals of several countries before, and the city of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is not the tallest and largest!"
Yes, although this city is tens of feet high and low, which of the Tongmu City, Xuntian City, etc. that Xiao Hua has seen is not ten times this city? Such a small mortal city really cannot enter his eyes. It's just that the mottled traces on the city wall are bloodstains and meat sauce, and Xiao Hua can't help but sigh.
As for Yuan Ya, maybe there is no city wall in his eyes!
"Xiao Jian, doesn't this city have a name?" Xiao Hua looked at the huge "Copper Pillar Kingdom" above the city gate, and frowned unconsciously.
"Immortal Master" Xiao Jian said with a smile, "Under the rules of the countries in the Hidden Immortal Continent, the capital city has no name, only the name of the country, but other cities have their own names!"
"Oh, that means this capital is the Copper Pillar Kingdom?" Xiao Hua smiled, this custom is really interesting!
"Yes!" Xiao Jian kept his hand straight, "The ruler of the Copper Pillar Kingdom lives in this capital city, the palace of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is also inside, and all the civil and military officials are also included, as long as the capital is captured , the Copper Pillar Kingdom fell, and it is normal to say that this capital is the Copper Pillar Kingdom!"
"There are rivers around this capital city Is this used to protect the city?" Xiao Hua pointed his hand again, frowning, "Is this kind of defense useful?"
"It's good for the immortal to know, this is called a moat!" Xiao Jian explained, "The moat can separate the city from the enemy's cavalry and heavy infantry, so as to avoid directly facing the enemy. Moreover, there are many rivers in the moat. Some are poisonous water, some are fire water, and it is not easy to pass through the moat. The moat of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is relatively wide, and ordinary catapults cannot approach it, and those huge boulders are powerless when they reach the city wall. There are fish beasts that devour people. When the Three Kingdoms besieged the city, thousands of people died in the moat"
"Actually" Xiao Hua said hesitantly, "This moat is nothing in Xiao's eyes! Xiao remembers that you once said that this Copper Pillar Kingdom should be ruled by the line of Confucianism Cultivators. Confucianism Cultivators have countless methods. This moat The effect it can play is limited! Just like the so-called siege of the Three Kingdoms, as long as someone flies up to attack, the big city will soon be broken?"
"Hehe, Immortal Elder!" Xiao Jian laughed, "This Copper Pillar Country is ruled by a family of Confucianism cultivators, but this family of Confucianism Cultivators is not necessarily in charge of this country! There are even several other countries! Between these countries The Confucian Cultivator family will not take care of it! Moreover, even if it is a war between different countries, it is the Confucian Cultivator family behind the scenes who bear the brunt, not the city! As long as these Confucian Cultivator families have agreements and compromises with each other , there will be no theory of siege! Only when the Confucianism Cultivator family cannot coordinate, will there be a siege! Even, only when the strength of the two Confucianism Cultivators is equal, will there be a war. The man just now The so-called siege of the Three Kingdoms, as far as the younger generation knows, is that there are three smaller Confucian Cultivator families who want to replace this Confucian Cultivator family with the surname 'Xu', so they combined the power of the Three Families and Three Kingdoms to attack the Tongzhu Kingdom! As for the end, hehe, it seems It was the Xu family who invited another great Confucian, which calmed down the war, and as for the man who said that the king sent troops to save the city, he was proficient at spreading rumors!"
"Well, the old man understands!" Xiao Hua nodded slightly, "How can there be any truth in the ears of ordinary people in this world?"
While talking, I saw a group of children rushing out of the city gate with small lanterns in their hands, shouting happily. These lanterns are without exception made of blue lotus leaves. Square or elliptical, but they are also painted in blue and white colors, and it looks like the whole lantern is like a lotus flower. Seeing this scene, Xiao Jian was taken aback for a moment, and sighed: "Oh, today is the Ghost Festival! How time flies!"
"Hungry Ghost Festival?" Xiao Hua naturally doesn't understand what the Ghost Festival is, but he won't ask too much, after all, he doesn't know that the Copper Pillar Kingdom is okay, it's just that he has been practicing for a long time and is not walking in the mundane world, which is nothing . If you don't even know the usual festivals, then there is a problem with Xiao Hua's origin. Xiao Hua didn't want others to be suspicious. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
