Chapter 255: The Implication of the Martial Saint, the Green Dragon Giant City
When Lu Qing looked intently at the three big characters "Qinglong City" on the city gate.
Soon, a rather rich golden light of supernatural power emerged from the words.
Several messages floated out.
gold?
Lu Qing was slightly stunned and looked at the notes.
These three large characters were handwritten by a strong person who had reached the perfect level of Xiantian Realm. The font is beautiful and has extraordinary momentum. 】
【Contains the will of martial arts, which can last for hundreds of years. 】
There are rumors in the world that these three words contain the inheritance left by that supreme martial arts master. However, for hundreds of years, no one has been able to decipher the secrets and obtain the inheritance. 】
【Found the exercise, do you want to download it? 】
“Does it really contain inheritance?”
Lu Qing was a little surprised.
Just now, he just felt that these words had different connotations and had a guess in his mind. He did not expect that there was actually a inheritance of skills in them.
And judging from the description, this inheritance seems to be quite extensive.
After all, not everyone can bear the title of Martial Saint.
I saw a lot of people queuing up in front of the city gate, waiting to enter the city. It would take some time for their turn.
Without much hesitation, Lu Qing immediately chose to download the exercise.
【Downloading, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%...98%, 99%, 100%】
【The exercise method has been downloaded, do you want to simulate it? 】
Lu Qing chose simulation.
【Simulation in progress, current progress, 1%, 2%, 3%...98%, 99%, 100%】
【Simulation completed, do you want to proceed with learning? 】
This time, Lu Qing did not choose to study directly.
Because he spent more than a quarter of an hour downloading the simulated exercises, the procession's team gradually moved forward, and it was almost their turn.
“The inscription on this city gate is very extraordinary.”
At this time, the old doctor also sighed.
“Master, have you noticed it too?”
Lu Qing was not too surprised. With his qualifications as a master, it would be strange if he failed to notice the strangeness of those three words.
“The three big characters on this city gate seem to contain the sword will of a powerful warrior. Unfortunately, I am a dull teacher. I have just understood it for a while, but I have only understood four or five points."
The old doctor sighed a little.
Having just studied the inscription on the city gate for a while, he felt that the connotation of swordsmanship in it was quite beneficial to him.
Zhongzhou is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, with many talented people emerging.
They haven't entered Zhongzhou yet. Just the inscription on the gate of a checkpoint can make him feel something.
It can be imagined that the real land of Zhongzhou is filled with outstanding people and many masters.
“I understand four to five points…”
Lu Qing was speechless.
Master’s martial arts talent and understanding are indeed extremely strong.
The inscription on the city gate contains the insights left by an innately perfect and extremely powerful man.
Master was able to comprehend four or five points of the charm in such a short period of time, which is truly amazing.
“Where are you coming from? Is there a way to lead you? How many people are going to enter the city?”
Just when Lu Qing was invisibly surprised by his master, a rough voice sounded.
Lu Qing turned around and saw two soldiers wearing armor and holding halberds standing in front of the city gate. The one on the right was shouting.
Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
This Qinglong City is indeed extraordinary. Even the two city guards guarding the city gate are both at the Muscle and Bone Realm. One of them has perfect qi and blood, and has reached the perfection of the Muscular and Bone Realm.
“Master Chengwei, we are from Cangzhou, and there are five of us entering the city.”
Ma Gupai smiled and stepped forward and handed over a pamphlet.
The so-called road guide is actually something that can prove the identity of Lu Qing and others.
This thing is usually of little use, but it is still needed in important levels such as Qinglong Pass.
Unless Lu Qing and the others can cross the towering mountains by themselves and enter Zhongzhou without passing through Qinglong Pass.
Lu Qing and the others were helped by the Wei family to manage their identities, so there was no problem.
The city guard just looked through it and closed it.
"There is no problem with the road guide. The five of you will be charged one tael each for entering the city, including the carriage. The total is six taels. After you have been taught, you can enter the city."
One tael of silver per person?
When Magu heard this number, he was slightly shocked at first.
However, I took a look at the other people waiting to enter the city and found that none of them showed any signs of abnormality. I knew that the entry fee should be normal and it was not that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them.
After having some confidence, Ma Gu took out a money bag with a smile and handed it over: "Yes, here are six taels of silver. Please take a look at it."
The city guard weighed it, frowned at first, opened it, and smiled when he saw the small silver ingot inside.
Waving his hand: "Yes, if you have a look, go in quickly. If anyone gives you a hard time, just say it's me, Mr. Hu, who is covering it up."
“Thank you, Mr. City Guard!”
Ma Gu's face showed joy, and after thanking him repeatedly, he returned to the carriage and led the carriage forward.
As the carriage passed the city gate, another city guard who had been silent suddenly said, "Young man, from your previous appearance, you seemed to be very interested in those three big characters on the city gate?"
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw that the city guard was looking at him. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said:
"I have always liked calligraphy. When I saw the three characters 'Qinglong City' above my head, they were written with majestic force. It seemed that they were not written by ordinary people. I was so happy to see them, and then I watched them intently for a while. Master Chengwei, I wonder if I What taboo did you commit?"
“You didn’t commit any taboos.”
The city guard who spoke was a young man with a good face.
“But I see that you are also a martial arts practitioner, so I want to give you a piece of advice. The carvings on this city gate contain special meanings.
But the meaning is quite evil. If you luckily comprehend something from it, trust me, don’t practice it.
Otherwise, if you fall into madness in the future, are haunted by inner demons, and retreat instead of progressing in your cultivation, it will be too late to regret it. "
Lu Qing was stunned, but the face of the armored young man looked serious, and it seemed that what he said was not false.
He pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will pay attention to it."
After Lu Qing and others entered the city and were out of sight, the armored young man returned to his cold expression and ignored everyone.
However, Hu Laosan, the narrator, became interested: "Master Ji, why did you specifically remind the young man not to read the inscriptions on the city gate? Don't you think that the boy just now can read it?" Can you tell me the secret of the engraving?"
"Who knows, I just saw that he seemed a little obsessed with those words, so I just reminded him. At least they gave us more money, didn't they?" The young man in armor said lightly. "That's right." Hu Laosan took out the money bag that Magu gave him just now and poured out the fat ingot of silver inside. "Master Ji, whoever sees this silver will have a share. You and I will each have half."
"Twenty taels?" The young man in armor was a little surprised, "I didn't expect those people to be quite generous."
Seeing Hu Laosan about to squeeze the silver apart, the young man in armor waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't use my share. You can keep it. Didn't you say you want to send your daughter to Xuanxin Sect to study? You have no money. No."
“Thank you very much, Master Ji.”
Hearing this, Hu Laosan did not refuse and took the money back into his arms, as if his actions just now were just polite.
When the young man in armor saw this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "You collect the money, but don't swallow the city lord's share, otherwise, even I won't be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, Master Ji." Hu Laosan patted his chest, "I, Hu Laosan, can keep accounts clean. I have always treated public affairs with public affairs and private affairs with private affairs. I have never been greedy for public money."
After saying that, he took out another handful of broken silver from his pocket, counted a few pieces, and put them into the iron box beside him.
When the young man in armor saw this, he could only shake his head, ignore the old man, and continue to wander around.
Hu Laosan didn't care even more, although he didn't know why the dignified Second Master Ji couldn't think of guarding the city gate with him.
But since people don’t prevent him from making money and even occasionally provide him with cover, why wouldn’t he do it?
“As long as we raise another hundred taels, we will have enough money to send Xiaolian to Xuanxin Sect to study.”
Hu Laosan touched the silver ingot in his arms and felt happy.
"interesting."
Lu Qing, who had already entered the city, sensed what happened at the city gate, with an interesting look in his eyes, and took back the power of his soul.
It seemed that the armored young man reminded him out of good intentions.
It's just...the meaning contained in the three carvings on the city gate, are they so terrible? Why didn't he feel it?
Lu Qing had a doubt in his heart.
When he saw the three engraved words before, he only felt that the artistic conception on them was quite extraordinary, but he did not feel anything dangerous.
Moreover, the master also conducted enlightenment, and I didn’t see anything wrong with him.
"Is it possible that there is another mystery behind the inheritance in the carvings? It seems that I have to think about it after I settle down."
Lu Qing thought for a while and made a decision.
“Wow! What a big city!”
At this moment, Xiaoyan’s surprised voice suddenly sounded.
Lu Qing turned around and saw that the little guy had gotten off the carriage and was holding Xiao Li in his arms. His mouth and eyes were wide open, looking ahead in surprise.
On the other side, Ma Gu and Wei Zian looked similar. They all stared at the bustling scene in front of them with wide eyes.
They saw just in front of them, on a street dozens of feet wide, pedestrians of all kinds, horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, etc. were all walking in a steady stream.
The sound of vehicles, hawking, and shouting all came together.
The scene presented by this main street alone was much more majestic and prosperous than any big city that Lu Qing and the others had ever seen.
Not to mention, the tall houses with rough style and made of huge stones on both sides of the street were rarely seen by Lu Qing and others.
"It is indeed the world-famous Qinglong Pass. I just don't know how spectacular the other three pass cities are." Lu Qing couldn't help but praise.
People from other states in the world generally go through the four gates if they want to enter Zhongzhou normally.
These four Guancheng cities are all named after legendary mythical beasts.
Lu Qing and the others were going to Qinglong Pass in the east.
Of course, although there are four Guancheng in the world, it does not mean that if you want to enter Zhongzhou, you can only enter through Guancheng.
It's just that if you want to enter Zhongzhou through other routes, the situation you have to face is much more complicated.
Generally, only those powerful warriors who do not want to expose their identity and whereabouts and have extraordinary skills will choose to do that.
Ordinary people would rather spend some money and take a safe road like Guancheng.
“Master, what should we do next? Should we go to stay first or not?” Lu Qing asked.
The old doctor pondered for a moment and said: "Let's find a place to stay first. We have been traveling for so many days and we are all tired. Let's have a good rest in this city for a day and then enter the customs tomorrow."
“Disciple thinks so too.” Lu Qing nodded.
They have been on the road these days. Although they are protected by the formation car, they do not feel any physical fatigue, but they still feel a little tired mentally.
He and his master were fine, but Xiaoyan, Wei Zian and the others were a little unbearable.
Especially Ma Gu, because the speed of the carriage increased, he had to concentrate on driving the carriage all the time, and the mental consumption was quite huge.
If you don’t take a good rest, I’m afraid it will damage your foundation.
Qinglong City is one of the hubs for communication between Zhongzhou and other states in the east, so its business is naturally very developed.
Lu Qing and the others found a quite satisfactory inn without much effort.
Although it is a bit more expensive, they are not short of money now, so they don't care about this cost.
After settling in, Lu Qing had just made the bed and quilt, and Xiaoyan and Xiaoli were playing around.
There was a knock on the door outside: "Aqing, please come out."
“What’s the matter, Master?” Lu Qing opened the door.
“You come with me to find out something,” the old doctor said.
“Okay Master, please wait a moment.”
Lu Qing returned to the room, told Xiaoyan and Xiaoli to stay in the room and not to run around, and then walked out of the room.
After following Master and arriving outside the street, Lu Qing finally expressed his question: "Master, what do we want to inquire about?"
“Some matters related to customs entry, as well as the recent general trend of the world.” The old doctor said.
"The general situation of the world?" Lu Qing was startled, "Master, where can I find out?"
Is it possible that there is no way for Master to succeed in Qinglong City?
Lu Qing suddenly had an idea in his mind.
However, the old doctor did not directly answer Lu Qing's question. Instead, he took out something and showed it to him.
“Ah Qing, do you still recognize this thing?”
Lu Qing looked at it and recognized it immediately: "Isn't this the jade plaque that Your Excellency Zhirui gave to you, Master?"
“Yes, it was that jade tablet. Just when we entered the city earlier, I suddenly felt a strange movement coming from the jade tablet.
Just now I sensed something in the room and found that the jade sign causing the abnormal movement was somewhere in the city.
According to what Mr. Zhirui told you at the beginning, perhaps that place should be a branch of Tianji Tower. "
“Not bad.” After hearing what his master said, Lu Qing reacted.
Since the Tianji Building is known as the best in the world in intelligence, it must establish various branch buildings to collect intelligence.
A big city like Qinglong City must have its stronghold.
“It’s not too late, Master, let’s go there now.”
