The night was very calm, without too many disturbances. During the day, the streets and related roads that were destroyed due to the battle between Blood Sword Hong Ji and the three masters were surrounded by roadblocks.
Other areas are still going on as usual. Except for the Jinyiwei Gate area, which is quieter than before, the whole world seems to have not changed much.
People are still living their own lives, and at most they chat a few words when they fall asleep at night.
Talking about the dozens of feet of fire that hurriedly rose up during the day, and the bloody sword light surrounded by the fire.
Other than that, everything is business as usual, not much has changed.
Just like in the previous world that Zhang Mingtu once lived in, over tea, someone would talk about those stars who earned 2.28 million a day, and discuss the amazing income that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime.
Money that others can easily earn in a day.
The gap between the two is unimaginable, but they still live in the same world. Just like this world where gods and demons appear, gods and demons also walk in the daytime.
Zhang Mingtu breathed and concentrated, watching the light in his mind dimming little by little, and finally close to nothing.
His heart moved, and he opened the thick book of life and death again.
He wanted to try a more drastic, more drastic change.
He decided to go to Kyoto, to the true core of this world, to the supreme place. It was possible for every drop of water to gather into the sea, but that would be too slow.
If you want to make a change, the other direction is also quite good.
Change from the core of the world, the hub of the entire Great Xia. From there, a small change in an instant can reverse the general trend of the entire world.
Zhang Mingtu once heard a very famous and very gray and humorous joke in his previous life.
Whenever your grandpa makes a mistake, my grandpa will have to beg for food.
Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness.
The Jianyi County Magistrate's petty willfulness caused countless families to be destroyed.
Even the son of Jianyi County Magistrate just likes hunting, so he can directly hunt the hunters in the mountains and regard the hunters as prey.
In the eyes of many local wealthy families, this is just a small capriciousness of the county magistrate's power, and it is just a small mistake made by the magistrate's son.
This is true for county magistrates in remote places. Any order or instruction issued by Kyoto, the core area of Daxia, can change the structure of the entire Daxia and affect the food, clothing, housing and transportation of tens of millions of people.
Judging from the amount of information Zhang Mingtu now knows, it would be too difficult to rely on Ruihai to make changes bit by bit from remote areas.
Neither the situation at the northern border nor the Land of the Rising Sun can be changed in a short period of time, but this crisis has been building up for a long time, and it is very likely that once it breaks out, the country will fall.
It must be changed from a general direction, and it must be changed from the Kyoto area.
Kyoto is the most glorious place in the world. Countless heroes and heroes became famous there and became famous all over the world. There are also countless top figures who died in obscurity in Kyoto and were thrown into the sewers and became food for rats in the gutter.
Every year, countless people go to that area with the spirit of youth, and every year, countless people leave there feeling lost, feeling that Kyoto is not suitable for them and that they do not belong to ordinary people.
The prosperity and wealth of Kyoto, the romance of Kyoto, the heroic spirit of Kyoto belong to wealthy families and top sects, and have nothing to do with ordinary people.
Ordinary people are just members of the crowd watching in the corner of that grand picture.
…
Amidst the sound of turning pages, the cover of the Book of Life and Death was revealed. In front of the cover was an unimaginably majestic city. The outer perimeter of the city alone was dozens of feet high.
It is majestic and solemn, like a wild beast sitting on the earth.
Not only that, but corresponding to the city on the earth is the sky.
There is also a magnificent celestial palace suspended in the sky, with stairs climbing up to the clouds.
In front of this magnificent unnatural landscape, human power seems so small and humble, and the power of real martial arts practitioners is fully demonstrated.
Surrounding that majestic sky, there are several peaks suspended in the sky that will never fall.
In the distance on the other side, there is a huge Buddha statue standing, which is taller than the city, as if it is carved from the entire mountain peak.
At the top of the cover, it was only then that four ancient and majestic seal characters appeared - Jinghua Yanyun.
Thoughts flashed in Zhang Mingtu's mind, and he felt that such a majestic and incredibly large building complex was in line with the appearance of the ancient dynasty of Daxia.
It is precisely because Daxia, which has dominated the world for nearly a thousand years, that it has such a strong foundation and courage to build these magnificent wonders on earth.
Just staring at this ancient building complex, Zhang Mingtu was amazed from the bottom of his heart.
This is a completely different architectural style from the world he experienced in his previous life, and more similar to the magnificent palace complex in Journey to the West he saw in his previous life.
The palace floating in the sky is splendid and magnificent, with its beautiful buildings and jade buildings, and it is extremely cold up there.
The magnificent city is located in the sky. Looking down from the nine heavens on earth, it has a majestic atmosphere.
Only the being who lives in the center of the palace can be called the emperor.
Zhang Mingtu already has many brothers and has traveled all over the country, but he has never seen Kyoto up close.
Seeing such a scene in Kyoto, I was still quite surprised. After calming down a little, Zhang Mingtu opened the ancient scroll.
…
Hong Ji died in prison.
There were not many traces of what had happened before, only a burst of bloody brilliance.
I felt the changes and felt the strangeness in the dungeon.
But he could only watch Hong Ji sever his heart and die. The dungeon did not leave many traces. The shikigami hidden in the shadows escaped into the earth and disappeared.
But I'm not too discouraged. Blood Sword Hongji's death is actually a good thing for me.
After all, there are many things that I still haven't figured out yet.
Especially the most important point.
Why did the superiors, knowing that the spies from the Land of the Rising Sun were raising demons, continued to let them do so and even encouraged them?
I want to know who makes such a decision, and what is the reason why such an order can be issued?
I had to go to Kyoto for a trip, so after committing suicide with the bloody sword Hongqi, I relied on the Heavenly Demon Bloodthirsty Sword Technique that I had learned to trigger a stream of blood energy to swim in my body, causing my meridians to appear broken and my flesh and blood to wither.
Well, I was doing my duty in the dungeon of Jinyi Guardhouse, and I was injured by the bloody knife, so I "retired" immediately.
I can once again receive the Jin Yiwei-related salary and walk around as I please, no one cares about me.
Oh, Rui Hai cares a lot. He once again tried his best to comfort me and wanted me to take the imperial examination path. Ah, why do you say again?
Well, this time I agreed to Rui Hai's persuasion, got a letter of recommendation from him, and went straight to the capital to visit Rui Hai's master.
At the same time, you can also use this recommendation letter to study in the Imperial College.
Some people are born as cows and horses, and some people are born as Romans.
Before I knew it, I could also call myself Rome.
The capital city is huge, so huge that it is unimaginable.
Approaching Kyoto, the mighty imperial dragon energy suppresses all evil spirits.
The ancient city wall is awe-inspiring. There are not only traces of time on it, but also the marks of war left by swords, guns, swords and halberds.
The ancient city wall is more like a magnificent epic, recording the experience of this great dynasty.
I have traveled to many places, whether it is the so-called wealthy land in the south of the Yangtze River or the so-called poor northern frontier, I have stayed there for a long time.
But this is my first time visiting a magnificent city like Kyoto.
Kyoto is different from Jiangnan, a land known for its recovery. Even in Jiujiang County, which is known as the most prosperous, and even in the more coastal Fuzhou area, there are still people who are not living a good life. There is a kind of sadness on everyone's face. color.
On the northern border, life is undoubtedly more difficult, but their faces are even more fierce and wild.
After all, the northern barbarians may move south at any time, and those who can live in the north for a long time will habitually practice spears and sticks.
They cannot resist a large army, but when encountering a small group of cavalry, they can sometimes kill, injure, or even completely annihilate them.
Kyoto is different from Jiangnan and Northern China.
The characters here are the ones I have really seen. They live quite prosperous lives. They have no worries about food and clothing, and they move leisurely and have a leisurely look on their faces.
They really live comfortably, and the people who live here for a long time are truly wealthy and idle people. Their clothes are not luxurious, but they are quite decent and there are no patches in sight.
His conversation was full of literary talents. Although he was not elegant, his etiquette and education were considered to be top-notch compared with other places.
There was not much arrogance in his words, but there was a natural sense of pride in his heart.
They can indeed be proud. They have been a country for more than 800 years, and now they have been at peace for more than 100 years.
During the most dangerous period of the year, the Northland fell, but it fought back again.
The group of people who can live in Kyoto are basically the descendants of the meritorious service back then, and the people who stay in Kyoto are all the top people.
I have seen the rangers from the Northland here. They are full of fierce aura, with some traces of war on their bodies, and their energy and blood are strong for more than ten miles.
I have also seen the wealthy families in the south here. Their wealth and splendor, covered with top-notch runes and treasures, can make people blind.
The descendants of the top sects in the world are also walking here. Outside Kyoto, there is a mountain peak that will never fall. It is one of the top sects in the world, Hanging Mountain.
The founder of Xuankong Mountain cut off a mountain peak with one sword, and then carved a large formation on the mountain peak to connect the sky and the earth, so that the mountain peak would forever be suspended in the sky and become a mountain peak that would never fall.
Xuankong Mountain is now one of the ten scenic spots in Kyoto, and people from other places must pay homage to it when they pass by.
I have also seen that the immortal sword energy still remains on that mountain peak, which is breathtaking.
