Huang Shang led the horse and stood on the hillside, looking at Jinyang in the distance.
This city wall is an important city with a height of more than ten feet. The geographical location is really good. There are Yanmenguan in the north, Taihang Mountain in the east, Huotai Mountain and Gaobiling in the south, Fenhe River and Luliang Mountain in the west. It is a veritable place of four fortresses.
Because of this, Jinyang can attack Mobei to the north, conquer the Central Plains to the south, Jingxing to Taihang to the east to attack Liaodong, and cross the Fen River to attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the west.
Such a battleground for military strategists was the third largest city in the country during the Sui Dynasty, second only to Chang'an and Luoyang. Today it is the lifeblood of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Huang Shang smiled slightly and left for Jinyang.
It was still some distance away from the city gate, and it had already started to become very lively.
Like Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo in Tianlong World, there are many spontaneous markets outside the city. In addition to the avenue leading directly to the city gate, there are stalls with no neatness at all on both sides, but the goods traded on them are
A dazzling array of items, everything you need.
There are all kinds of livestock, cowhide, sheepskin, deerskin, local wine, and utensils. The sellers are all prairie people with long hair and round leather hats who look like Brother Gluten.
There are slightly fewer silk and ceramic stalls in the Central Plains, but they are all popular. There is also the human slave trade, and there are even dozens of saddled horses for sale, which can be directly used as war horses.
Elsewhere, this would be unimaginable.
You know, this is just outside the city!
"Is it an international city..."
Huang Shang watched this scene.
Different ethnic groups, different dialects, and different costumes, while communicating in a noisy way, also have a sense of harmonious beauty.
Taking a peek inside this small market, imagining the scene of all nations coming to Korea and the common cultural exchanges between various ethnic groups will indeed make the rulers feel an unparalleled sense of pride.
But behind the prosperity and vanity, there is also a price to pay.
"If they unite for a long time, they will break up. If they unite for a long time, they will unite. If they flourish, they will decline. If they are not, they will be prosperous. All things have two sides. History has already shown this clearly."
"As expected, my practice cannot pursue forced integration, but rather allow it to exist in a spontaneous coexistence."
As an insider and with an outsider's perspective, Huang Shang felt a mysterious fluctuation and clarity in his heart.
What I saw in front of me was just an extremely small opportunity, but it contributed to the formal introduction of Tianyi Xinfa.
This crucial step to integrate Butian Pavilion and Huajian Sect has finally been taken.
To review, with Huang Shang's foundation as a low-level martial arts master, he thoroughly understood what the Huajian Sect and Butian Pavilion had learned, and then used his martial arts talent to turn things around, and began to integrate them. Then, with the sacrifice of the Pao King, he was eliminated.
Wrong choice. In the end, he fought with two masters, Lu Qian and Mu Tianmiao, to accumulate qualifications.
The rich experiences in Yecheng are savings.
When we arrived in Jinyang, it was a good harvest.
It is still named Tianyi Xinfa because of Shi Zhixuan's character design. The name still needs to be the same, but the inner core is already very different.
In the original plot, Shi Zhixuan's mind method was mentioned by Huan Huan, saying that both the magic body method and the immortal seal method rely on the "Tian Yixin method" that integrates the two paths of Huajian and Butian to reach their peak.
realm.
In fact, there is no specific description, but Huang Shang has read two books of "Tian Mo Ce" and has grasped the mystery.
He can create this mental technique in Ye City and further improve his strength.
But he didn't do that.
Because there are defects.
Of course, there is no perfect martial arts in the world, and there are flaws. Even if it is perfect at the current stage, when you look back at it at a higher level, flaws will be revealed.
But some flaws can be made up over time, while others are issues of principle that cannot be cleaned up and can only be remade.
Therefore, Huang Shang was more serious about the creation of Tianyixin Dharma than the Immortal Seal Dharma, which can be said to be walking on thin ice.
After all, this is not like the King of Guns, it is your own clone. You should cherish it and cherish it.
"The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it!"
At this time, after "tribulations" and savings, Tianyi Xinfa finally entered the door. The movement route in Huang Shang's body was completely adjusted to a brand new state. He only felt that the upper, middle and lower Dantian, the essence, energy and spirit were unified and unified, and the whole world was bright.
Got up.
The mental ripples in the heart lake before were sweeping and probing, but now they have become passive acceptance.
Countless life breaths, movements, sounds, and even emotional fluctuations all surged forward through the force of heaven and earth.
Huang Shang immediately began to block the induction.
I have just started, and my control is not enough. Dragonflies came rushing over with a roar, and stopped on it like locusts, trying to crush Xiao He...
Fortunately, after being shielded, my perception returned to normal, but the feeling of being able to control everything around me without deliberately searching has remained.
Such a state is difficult for any master to achieve, and it is probably one of the abilities that only great masters can possess.
Of course, this does not mean that he has entered that realm, it just means that he is exploring and pursuing in the right direction.
All this happened silently. To others, they saw a handsome and charming young man hanging around various stalls.
Many people were frightened by his splendor, and some prairie people followed him from afar, clearly showing ill intentions.
Huang Shang didn't care and looked at the stalls one by one.
He soon discovered that the most popular goods in this market outside the city were not silk and pottery, but pearls.
Some of those pearls are dazzling and are strung into necklaces, while some are just sold in pieces.
But as long as it is crystal clear and smooth, no matter how big or small, it can be sold for a good price, or it can be exchanged for many items from the grassland.
The four major producing areas of pearls in this era were all in the south, namely Hepu, Nanhai, Dongting and Taihu.
South Sea pearls are famous for their iridescence, Dongting pearls are famous for their large size, Taihu pearls are rare for being seedless, and Hepu Nan pearls are famous for their silvery white quality.
Most of these pearls seem to come from the South China Sea.
When mentioning Nanhai, people think of Chao Gongcuo of the Nanhai School, the famous 50-50 player.
The classic battle of "a 50-50 split between me and Ning Daoqi" has not yet broken out. Huang Shang guessed that he would not be able to witness it with his own eyes, but he was really curious.
How could Chao Gongcuo, whose strength was about twice that of Qu Ao, be able to fight evenly with the Grand Master, and finally be defeated by Sanshou with eight blows?
Is there any ulterior deal behind it?
"Nanhai...Taoism..."
Huang Shang changed his mind, threw it behind him, and walked into the city.
When we officially entered Jinyang, our eyes lit up again.
If we follow the true history, because the troubled times lasted for hundreds of years, with constant wars and the separation of the north and the south, all the capital cities in this era were actually not very good, and they could only be the best among the shortest.
But in this elevated world, surrounded by a city wall of more than ten feet, Jinyang is very shocking. The buildings are majestic, rough and majestic. The buildings that blend the Hudi prairie style are indeed extraordinary.
sense of impact.
Huang Shang looked towards the city center.
There was the former Prime Minister's Mansion, the Shizhongba Mansion.
As early as the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Jinyang and Yecheng had formed a double dragon model. It was not until the Gao family usurped power and established the Northern Qi Dynasty that the Prime Minister's Office was abolished.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was expanded and became the imperial city of other capitals, and the Gao family often came to live here.
However, in Gao Zhan's era, Jinyang was only for blood transfusions and he was too lazy to come again, so Taiwei Hu Luguang guarded it.
Gao Zhan had great trust in this general, and Hu Luguang was not alone. He came from a family of generals, and the whole family had high status and a prosperous family.
It was precisely because of this that when the Northern Zhou Dynasty started to stir up dissension, the successor, who only had shit in his head, executed the entire Hu Luguang family. When Hu Luguang died, the Northern Zhou Dynasty celebrated with joy and granted amnesty to the condemned prisoners.
Logically speaking, this was a clear message to the empress that you, idiot, had killed the wrong person. The empress got the news and regretted it very much, and immediately killed King Lanling.
Um……
Could it be that this person, like Li Qiushui, is the boss working as an undercover agent?
Putting aside the historical development, Huang Shang has already collected intelligence. Now that the Hulu family is too prominent, Huluguang is worried about this and is afraid of causing trouble. Therefore, he lives a strict life, lives frugally, has no guests, and refuses to interfere.
The only thing that matters in government affairs is to have the four characters "Ming Zhe Bao Shen" tattooed on his back.
Therefore, with the new emperor's secret edict and Gao Zhan's secret seal, plus the fact that it was not forged, he could send someone to Yecheng for verification. Huang Shang knew that Hu Luguang was not in trouble at this level.
But the Hulv family is not so easy to bypass.
He came to Jinyang because he wanted to take control of this important city. Unlike the Yecheng period, it was undesirable to be self-indulgent in development, and influence was the most important.
Therefore, it takes a suitable time to see Dendrobium Luguang.
Huang Shang withdrew his gaze and headed to the west of the city according to the address notified by the old woman.
Arriving at an ordinary courtyard, Huang Shang knocked on the door and saw an old woman who had changed her clothes and been waiting for her: "Young Master!"
He walked from Yecheng to Jinyang for more than half a month.
It's not about traveling around the mountains and rivers, but getting familiar with the mountains and terrain of this world.
The changes in the world of Chinese martial arts are in all aspects, not only reflected on the city walls. The next war is inevitable, so it is natural to be prepared.
During this time, the old woman was making initial preparations in Jinyang.
Butlers are often the most magical beings. They master a variety of "trivial" but useful little skills, and they will appear when they are needed most. Without this logistical support, Huang Shang would do it himself.
There would not be the achievements today.
Thinking about it this way, the lovely reincarnation is quite a housekeeper.
"Sir, time is in a hurry. I have only collected what happened in Jinyang in recent months."
"Thank you for your hard work, tell me!"
The old woman began to talk, focusing mainly on the goods transactions in Jinyang. She also mentioned the trends in the grasslands, Goguryeo and even the Western Regions.
"The Tiele robbers were plundering and intercepting caravans outside Yanmen Pass..."
One of the messages made Huang Shang, who was sipping tea leisurely, raise his eyebrows: "Does the leader of the robbers have a name?"
The old woman replied: "My name is Qu Ao. He is very powerful. His attacks are like an eagle striking the sky. He is very fierce. None of the masters invited by the team can walk under him."
Sure enough, they are "acquaintances".
In the original plot, Fei Ying Qu Ao is a Tiele native, a thief by profession, traveling rampant in the western frontier, and is known as the powerful master who directly pursues the martial master Bi Xuan.
puff!
No, we have received professional training. No matter how funny it is, we will never laugh.
But when he thought that Qu Ao was not enough as a unit of measurement for combat power and had to come to assist him personally, the corners of Huang Shang's lips raised and he still smiled in emotion.
