Strange mountains and rivers

On the third day of the first lunar month, the group officially set off for Bianjing.

There was a flying boat to see us off, so it was actually very easy to get to the border. We entered Bianliang Prefecture in less than a day.

According to the regulations of the Zhao government, all flying boats are not allowed to enter the city and can only land on the outskirts of the city.

Fei Cha is also one of the signs of a sect's strength.

Its operation consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and both the requirements for the control monks and the flying chariot's own demand for spiritual stones and spiritual sand are very demanding.

It is conceivable that it has to carry such a huge object and fly in the air, and it also has to seat so many people.

Moreover, to control a flying chariot, you need at least a foundation-building monk or above. A slightly larger flying chariot even requires two or more foundation-building cultivators to control it.

The Chonghua faction had one flying boat destroyed in the battle in Longyanfang City, and now there are only two flying boats left, both of which are small flying boats.

But for the flight from Langshan to Bianjing, not to mention the control of the foundation-building monks, the agility device on the flying chariot alone would consume 300 spiritual sands, which translates into tens of thousands of spiritual stones.

And if it is a large-scale flying boat that can carry hundreds of people, such a flight will probably cost four to five thousand spiritual sand.

This is why small sects cannot afford it at all, medium sects dare not use it easily, and even large sects have to be careful with their budgets.

From the flying boat, you can see the huge city a hundred miles away. Everyone is leaning on the side of the flying boat and looking up into the distance.

That is Bianjing.

The rising golden imperial energy, the dense crystal water vapor, and the shrouding colorless spiritual energy are all surrounded by the three qi, forming the unique Bianjing style.

"Is that Bianjing?"

"It must be. It is indeed the most majestic city in the world. It is spectacular and fascinating."

"Looking at the momentum, it's no wonder there are millions of people living in the city. What city in the world can compare with it?"

"Not necessarily, Luoyi, Chang'an, Jiangling, I'm afraid they won't be much inferior to them, right?"

"That's completely different. This is the best place in the world. As long as you have been there, you will know that it is incomparable to any city..."

A group of people were sighing and sighing there, and Chen Huaisheng was also looking at Bianliang City from a distance.

He had been to Bianliang City once, but at that time he was still wandering on the road of seeking the Tao, a mere passerby.

At that time, I didn’t have much thought to appreciate the scenery of Bianliang. I only stayed one night on the edge of the city and left without much impression at all.

But this time, he came to participate in the Shangyuan Taoist Association. Although he cannot be said to be the protagonist, he actually wanted to join this world-wide event. As a participant, he could see the prosperous world more truly and intuitively. The splendor of Da Zhao and Kyoto.

When the Chonghua faction's flying boat landed, you could see that another flying boat was also slowly landing.

However, the other side's flying boat was larger than the Chonghua sect's flying boat, and the number of passengers on the flying boat was twice as many as this one, about twenty people.

"It's the Yang family in Huai County." After observing it, Yao Liwei noticed the word "Yang" on the flying chariot and nodded: "There are quite a few people from the Yang family here this time."

Chen Huaisheng was moved when he heard that Yao Liwei mentioned that it was the Yang family in Huai County.

During the battle in the Dongfu Ghost Market, he, Tang Jingtian and Yu Fengqian escaped with their lives. Yu Fengqian even gained enlightenment on the battlefield and advanced to build a foundation. However, the Jiang family in Wan County suffered heavy losses.

He had always suspected that the Yang family of Huai County was also involved, but it could not be revealed among the opponents he and the others faced at that time.

"Senior Brother Yao, what is the relationship between the Yang family and our Chonghua sect?"

Chen Huaisheng asked seemingly casually.

"It's hard to say. Huai County is close to our Yi County. The Yang family is the number one family in Huai County. I dare not say that it can be compared with the old and famous families in Bianjing City, but the families in Yi County are much stronger. It is said that the head of the Yang family It's already the Zi Mansion, but it has never been seen..."

Whether it is a sect or an aristocratic family, whether or not there is a Zi Mansion in the family is also a very critical sign.

The presence of Zifu Xianqing means that the sect has crossed the threshold of a medium-sized sect and entered the circle of a medium-sized sect.

The same is true for aristocratic families. Having Zifu Xianqing in your family means that you are freed from the constraints of local aristocratic families and have already ranked high among the aristocratic families in the entire Da Zhao territory.

The head of the Chonghua Sect has been in seclusion for so many years, and there are rumors that it is attacking the Zi Mansion. However, the sect has no clear attitude towards this statement. They neither deny nor affirm it, and avoid talking about it.

"Our local sects still have some contacts with the sects and families in the county. When we leave the county, we don't have many contacts. We cannot compare with sects like the Jiulian Sect."

Yao Liwei added.

Chen Huaisheng nodded slightly, understanding the gap.

Look at Tang Jingtian's performance when he was in the Dongfu Ghost Market. He can not only establish a relationship with the Jiang family, but also have a friendship with the Yang family. This is the thickness of the super sect's connections, which cannot be compared with the Chonghua sect.

It seemed that the Chonghua sect's flying chariots were landing, while the flying chariots there kept a certain distance from the flying chariots here.

This is Chenliu, an important town in the southern suburbs of Bianjing.

The Bianhe River flows from northwest to southeast here, with thousands of sails racing across it and horses and chariots racing across it. It is the chokepoint from Bianliang to Yijun, Huaijun and Suijun.

Xu Muyang, Xu Tianfeng, and Zhao Sitian had already arrived in Bianjing first. Elder Yang Delong sent a group of people over for the remaining group. After arriving, Yang Delong asked the boat to return to Langling.

Yang Delong is very old. Seeing the state of Yu Zhou, everyone felt unbearable and a little worried. Fortunately, he finally arrived safely.

Once you reach Chenliu, you have already entered the territory of Bianliang Mansion. No one dares to risk the disapproval of the world and cause chaos here, especially when the Shangyuan Taoist Conference is about to be held.

The two flying boats landed one after another. Yang Delong got off the flying boat, gave Yao Liwei a few words, then got up and boarded the flying boat to return.

Now this group of people will follow Yao Liwei, the eighth level Qi refining person, into the city.

In the local area, an eighth level Qi refining can be considered a prominent role, but in Bianjing City, where there are as many pinnacles as dogs and foundation building everywhere, an eighth level Qi refining is probably equivalent to a Bingshe in the Chonghua sect. Be a disciple.

A group of people stood still, Yao Liwei also gave everyone a few instructions, and then prepared to enter the city along the post road.

At this time, I saw that the people flying over there had also come down. Probably seeing the situation here, one person took the initiative to contact them.

Hearing that Chen Huaisheng and the others were from the Chonghua sect of Langling Mansion in Yi County, the other party's face was obviously contemptuous. They exchanged a few casual greetings and walked away.

Cai Jinyang, Lu Wenshen, Yuan Wenbo, Tong Tong and others are all a little angry. It doesn't matter if you don't come. When you come, you will find out your identity, but with such an attitude, isn't it too deceiving?

Yao Liwei and Chen Huaisheng remained calm.

The Chonghua sect in Bianjing City is not as prestigious as it is in Yijun. Here, the small and medium-sized sects are not worth mentioning in the eyes of many people.

"Well, you don't have to worry about this. There are at least thirty or fifty sects coming to Bianjing to participate in the Shangyuan Taoist Association, and there are dozens of powerful families. Our Chonghua Sect is also unknown in Bianjing City. It’s normal for people to look down upon us. If we don’t want to be looked down upon by others, we must try our best to show the style of our Chonghua sect in Taoist gatherings..."

Yao Liwei was also filled with anger.

The guy who came to ask questions was just a sixth-level Qi refining person. He could kill the opponent in one breath, but he could only think about it, and no matter how angry he was, he could suppress it in his heart.

"Senior Brother Yao, do you know what the Shangyuan Taoist Club's competition method is like? We Chonghua Sect may not be afraid of the Yang family, but sects like Jiulian Sect, Wanxiang Sect and Tianyun Sect, we definitely cannot In comparison, how can we highlight our emphasis on China?"

Chen Huaisheng asked the question in everyone's mind.

"I don't know the rules of the Taoist Association, but it will definitely not be a confrontation between big and small, but a competition between sects of similar size and disciples of similar levels. Huaisheng, don't do that either. Don’t worry, we’ll know when the time comes.”

Yao Liwei smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Shangyuan Taoist meeting has not been held for some years. In his mind, the last Shangyuan Taoist meeting was in the 15th or 16th year of Jingzhen's reign. In other words, it had not been held for more than ten years, and It seems that the rules of each Taoist meeting are different.

It is said that this event was held because Emperor Zhao Jingzhen was on his deathbed, and he hoped that the Taoist Fair would bring great popularity to the people.

The post road is more than a hundred miles away, which is not a problem for the group at all. Even without the walking talisman, everyone can reach the city within three hours. However, they saw that the Yang family had a special carriage to pick them up, and their own group People can only watch helplessly as they walk away.

Looking at the flying planes appearing one after another in the sky, it seems that many sects choose to go out on the third and fourth day of the Lunar New Year and prepare some time in advance, which happens to be at this time.

Yao Liwei called on everyone to hurry up, and the group quickly left Chen Liu with their own wind and talismans.

It was getting dark, and a group of people entered the city from Lijingmen and marched along Bianhe Street. Two Taoist priests from Zhikeyuan were also waiting inside Lijingmen early. Then, they took the group to the early morning A resting place has been prepared.

One of the important things to do when arriving in advance is to arrange everyone’s accommodation for the next ten or twenty days.

Bianjing is expensive and difficult to live in.

For the capital of Zhao Dynasty, there are one to two million people living in and around Bianjing City. It is divided into several parts by Cai River, Bianhe River, Jinshui River and Wuzhang River. Even in the outer city, if you want to think about it now Finding a suitable courtyard that can accommodate ten or twenty people is not an easy task.

This courtyard is quite good. It is next to Xinlingfang of Zhouqiao. After walking out and passing two side streets and alleys, you will find the Imperial Street, which is as spacious as a square.

Chen Huaisheng seemed to have some feelings after meeting Xu Muyang, Xu Tianfeng and Zhao Sitian and saying hello.

Pretending to be casual, she walked around the yard, said hello to Hu Delu, then walked to the back door alone, opened the door gate, and saw a pretty face that looked both angry and happy appeared in front of her, and her eyes were full of tears. The feelings of longing and expectation can make people completely trapped.

I have a lot to do these two days. I will take a break tomorrow to catch up on my writing. I would like to ask some brothers for double monthly passes!
