Returning to the room at the Moon Martial Arts Hall, Lu Xiaoyue took out the book "Two Buildings" and planned to study it carefully.
Turning to the first page of this book, a sense of historical vicissitudes hits the face. The first sentence at the beginning is: In the spring of the third year of the founding of Hanling Kingdom...
Jianyuan is a year name in the history of Hanling Kingdom. The time was exactly 520 years ago, which can be said to be very long ago.
The first page of "A Tale of Two Towers" is the author himself introducing the purpose of writing this book and how he wrote it.
He wanted to record this incident so that future generations could know how much effort was put into building the sword tower and photo studio. He hoped that future generations could remember the significance of these two buildings and protect them with all their strength.
This book was entirely written by the author in his spare time. It cannot be said to have any literary talent, it is just a random record.
After the introduction on the first page, the second page begins to tell the purpose of building the double building and who asked him to build it.
As expected, Lu Xiaoyue quickly saw the words "Spirit-Destroying Sect".
The Sword Tower and the Photo Studio were built at the request of the Soul-Destroying Sect. The Lingxu Sword Sect and the Wuying Sword Sect had just been established not long ago, and they were not that strong. In order to build these two buildings, the Soul-Slaying Sect gave them a lot of help.
Not only did they provide help, but they also helped the two factions put pressure on the palace of Hanling Kingdom so that they could not stop the construction.
You must know that the designed height of the sword tower and photo studio completely exceeds the tallest building in the palace. This can be regarded as an act of rebellion in the secular world. If the palace does not agree, any reason can prevent the two buildings from being built forever.
However, the palace finally compromised and agreed to the construction of two buildings.
The author of this book was also selected as the builder of the two buildings at this time and became responsible for all construction matters.
The purpose of building these two buildings was initially said to be to establish prestige for Lingxu Sword Sect and Wuying Sword Sect so that they could develop rapidly.
However, the author obviously did not believe this rumor and even left it out. It was not until the two buildings were completed that he wrote the specific reasons in the book.
To place the Tower of Clouds!
In the clouds above the two tall buildings, there are two cloud towers floating in mid-air!
They were placed by the Mieling Sect and were said to be created to protect the capital, but others did not know their specific function.
Perhaps only people from the Mieling Sect would know.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoyue and Jian Zhen both raised their heads, and Lu Xiaoyue even stuck her head out the window, wanting to take a look at the Tower of Clouds in the sky.
But unfortunately she was in the room and couldn't see what was above her head.
"Tower of Clouds... this name sounds so nice." Lu Xiaoyue's eyes were filled with stars, and she looked like a nymphomaniac.
What's so good about this?
Jian Zhen: "The name is not important, what is important is its function! The book says it was made to protect the capital, but no one has noticed it for so long. Maybe it doesn't have this effect?"
"What effect will that have?" Lu Xiaoyue scratched her head and couldn't figure it out for a while.
In fact, neither she nor Jianzhen were very familiar with things in the Soul-Destroying Sect.
None of them have a deep understanding of the Soul-Destroying Sect.
In the past few months, Lu Xiaoyue had several opportunities to join the Soul-Destroying Sect, but she rejected them all without exception.
After the entrance trial at Qingxia Mountain, facing Li Xuanqing's request, she did not join the Soul-Destroying Sect, nor did she intend to get involved in their affairs.
But now, out of curiosity, I accidentally got involved.
Lu Xiaoyue thought for a long time, but couldn't think of anything, and finally gave up.
Jian Zhen thought about it for a longer time, and he also thought of some possibilities, but he didn't know if they were correct.
It's a pity that Li Xuanqing is not here, otherwise you can ask her.
Unable to understand, Lu Xiaoyue simply skipped the question and continued reading.
Starting from the third page, "Two Towers" records the specific construction process.
The process was very long, lasting three years and taking up most of the entire book, and was not completed until the last few pages.
The records in this section were too technical, and they all talked about how to build a double building. Neither Lu Xiaoyue nor Jian Zhen could understand it, so they could only skip it after taking a glance.
It wasn't until the last few pages that the content caught their eyes.
It records the grand occasion of Lingxu Sword Sect and Wuying Sword Sect moving in after the construction of the two buildings was completed, which took three years.
Yes, the author of the book used the word "grand occasion" to describe the scene at that time.
After the two sects moved into the double building, they changed from their weak appearance before and suddenly became stronger. Not only did they dare to openly confront the palace, but they also ignored other martial arts sects. In their words, except for the other sword sect, they did not mention them at all.
Other sects take it seriously.
The arrogant style of the Two Swordsmen naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of other people, so some people started to come to kick the gym, and they were beaten severely.
Lingxu Sword Sect and Wuying Sword Sect also took the opportunity to counterattack and established their power by kicking the hall again and again, establishing an extremely powerful image for themselves.
Just six months later, the two sects have become the two most powerful sword sects in the capital, overwhelming all other sects.
Here, the author of "The Story of Two Towers" wondered whether it was because of the two Cloud Towers that the strength of the two major sword sects soared.
However, this is just a suspicion. He does not have any evidence and cannot confirm it himself.
After reading this page, Jian Zhen and Lu Xiaoyue fell into deep thought.
Like the author of "Two Towers", they also began to doubt whether it was because of the Cloud Tower, so they began to look for evidence to prove this guess.
After a while, Lu Xiaoyue suddenly said "ah".
"What's wrong?" Jianzhen quickly woke up from his meditation and asked with concern.
"I thought of something...I wonder if it can be counted?" Lu Xiaoyue said softly.
"Tell me and listen!"
Lu Xiaoyue thought for a while, then slowly said: "Mugun, have you noticed that when we play in the sword tower or photo studio, we feel that the surrounding aura is particularly abundant, but it is far behind in other places in the capital!"
"This..." Jian Zhen closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then nodded quickly: "That's right! It seems that there is such a thing!"
When he first arrived in the capital, Jianzhen discovered that the aura here was extremely thin, several times worse than Qingyue City and Huayin City, and the inner city was also much worse than outside the city.
At first, Jian Zhen thought this was a special situation in the capital.
Later, when he went to play in the photo studio and sword building, he didn't pay special attention to these things. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyue noticed it instead.
"In the same capital, the aura of the Photo Studio and Sword Tower is so abundant, but other places are so poor. Is it because of the Cloud Tower?" Lu Xiaoyue guessed in a low voice.
"So, the effect of the Cloud Tower is to gather all the spiritual energy of the entire capital under the tower and provide it to the two major sword sects... No wonder they can become stronger so quickly." Jianzhen murmured.
