Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 135 Night Walk
Then, for the next half a day, Jiang Tian was trying to get used to his new toy/mount; just like a novice who got a luxury car in later generations, he tirelessly rode a hundred times.And although this car/horse is not as good as a Mercedes-Benz BMW, it is at least the level of a Cadillac bath king.

Of course, Jiang Tian himself is not a novice. Whether it is the Shandan Army Horse Farm, which is the largest state-owned unit in later generations, or the Xilamuren Grassland, which is a tourist attraction; Well trained, so the basics are picked up quickly.

However, then Jiang Tian discovered a new problem; that is, the strange garden he lived in seemed a bit small; you know, this is only a few acres of land with plants, trees, flowers, and half of the area is the pool. Garden.However, if you accelerate a little, it is easy to hit your head against the wall.

Therefore, most of the time, I can only trot on horseback and circle around the pool next to Tingliu Xiaozhu; is this the insatiable greed of the human heart, or the pursuit of luxury life.Perhaps, this is the seemingly routine conspiracy method of the Kodak family in a sense.

Because, in order to support such a big horse and get the joy of galloping at full speed, more space, a bigger field, and more demands are needed.After all, in this metropolis called Shangjing, there is a rather strict speed limit for riding a horse across the street.

Therefore, in addition to a few officials in charge of catching robbers and fast riders for summons, as well as sergeants who triumphantly inspected and honor guards of chartered ministers; riding horses on the main streets of Chang'an is a crime that is subject to key control and severe punishment. .It is also one of the favorite deeds of Yushi and Jingzhaofu.

Therefore, those folk lovers who have money and time in the city want to run freely; except for the officially designated large-scale competitions, they can only be designated to open in the inner streets of a few sections of the inner city wall. Horse racing within the range; thought of the benevolent government of dredging.

After all, there are always only a few families who can afford a polo field or a private track at home.However, this has given birth to a gray industry; because the officially designated area is not enough to meet the needs, so some people have made an idea of ​​the streets inside the walls surrounding the capital.

However, as time went by, it became a cat-and-mouse chasing match and underground competition with many robbers from Jingzhao Mansion and Jinwu children patrolling the street around the inner city wall of Chang'an.It even supported a large group of people living in the shantytowns in the south of the city.

After all, the guards who wanted to patrol the city wall galloped under their noses; they could not be caught by the Gongren and Jinwu Guards who came out from time to time and chased and blocked them. This not only required extraordinary equestrian skills, but also There must be sufficient means of notification and emergency response.

And even if they are caught on the spot, as long as there is no evidence of personal injury, direct trampling, or disturbing people's livelihood; these contestants who have more or less wealth and background, it is difficult to be convicted of felony; Orders for compensation, fines, or months of imprisonment are nothing more than punishments.

On the contrary, in addition to the officially sponsored carriage races and sprint races, an underground horse racing activity known as "city road race" and its related folk gambling have been derived with less restrictions and more pursuit of excitement.Even the predecessor of Jiang Tian, ​​who lived in the south of the city back then, bought related bets several times.

On the other hand, raising horses is also a delicate job, and the more famous the breed, the more expensive it is.Except for the thin, short, semi-wild traditional Mongolian horses, even the worst pack horses and rough horses need soybean meal, distiller's grains, and eggs to feed them when they work hard.

The horse itself is also a sensitive social animal, and it also needs a sufficiently clean, hygienic, ventilated and cool environment so that it is not easy to get sick; it needs enough space to let go of the gallop and run at full strength on a regular basis to maintain its basic state and mood.It’s not just about setting up a stable in the garden.

Therefore, some families in the city who need to raise horses will foster their own horses in professional stables, arenas, and horse clubs; They can be dispatched and used at any time; therefore, there are also some businesses that specialize in renting out mules and horses.

Of course, Jiang Tian didn't need to be so troublesome, because all the trivial matters would naturally be there, and Da Ya's family would send someone to take care of it; just take it at any time.But this also means that he, and the family behind the upduck duck, are further bound and deepened; but this is still within the acceptable level of Jiang Tian.

That night, when Ayun carried Ming Fei, who was smelly after scrubbing, leaving only a small dress and a transparent white gauze drape, on the bed again, and carefully manipulated it into a posture that was convenient for playing with.Jiang Tian, ​​who had just read a lot of documents and case files and wrote a few more chapters, confessed:

"I'm going to practice at night tonight. If there's nothing urgent, don't leave Xiaozhu, and don't come into the back garden."

"If you or Shunqing really need something, just ring the bell and let the vestibule deliver it."

"If the servant finds out, she will naturally take good care of Ming Fei."

Ayun respectfully said:

Not long after, Jiang Tian appeared in a dark and silent backyard; amidst the rustling of the treetops and the chirping of insects in the night wind, he suddenly changed into a set of light and tight-fitting outfits; The last pair was brought from Fanlou, a ghost city, full of ferocious and mighty red and black Yama masks.

The next moment, with the gradual proficiency of the "field" mode, it was loaded on Jiang Tian himself; in an instant he seemed to lose his own weight, and suddenly jumped more than ten feet high.Then, with the regained weight, it crossed almost half of the courtyard trees and buildings, and fell far outside the wall.

Seeing that Jiang Tian was about to fall into the alleyway outside the wall, he moved his mind again towards another building in the distance, and suddenly jumped up again under the reverse traction of the "guide" ability... A moment later, Jiang Tian Under the effect of alternately using guidance and fields, he successfully leaped forward.

And below where he flew by on the night wind, there are pavilions, pavilions, and courtyards; either the lights are bright and the hall is full of instrumental music and feasts, or they are submerged in the darkness, but there is a sense of home. The murmurs and whispers of life.He even jumped across the water of the Qujiang River.

Then, taking advantage of the bright moonlight that showed his face again from the clouds, he stood on the corner of a double building of a villa on the shore, overlooking the Furong Garden (Royal Forbidden Garden) surrounded by palace walls; the next moment, he Amidst the startled crows croaking and screaming, they successfully jumped onto the corner of Miyagi.

Then, using this corner as a reference, Jiang Tian re-aligned himself with the brightly lit city of Wanjia, which looks like a galaxy of stars.And at the end of the bright lights in the distance, there is the Imperial City Da Nei in the north, the Nan Nei Xingqing Palace in the northwest, and the Bei Nei Daming Palace on Longshou Mountain, which is higher.

The shining towering palace city is like a behemoth standing in the dark, condescendingly overlooking the homes of billions of people; while the patrolling alarm and the sound of clappers in time, there is a faint sound of deep and thick. The sound of the bell and tripod beeping softly.

However, this is not Jiang Tian's current goal.He quickly turned his direction to the northwest, an eleven-storied tower shrouded in flickering lights from top to bottom.That is the Daqinglong Temple, one of the ancestral courts of the Tantric Sect of the Tang Dynasty and the main temple of the Shingon Sect, the Dafotu Baoshen Stupa.

It is also the place where Huiguo, the former Tantric master, has been stationed in Xi for a long time.It is said that there were eight well-known masters of Fusang Buddhism in Tang Dynasty, and six of them (Kuhai, Yuanxing, Yuanren, Huiyun, Yuanzhen, Zongrui) all received the Dharma in Qinglong Temple successively.Qinglongfang, where the Daqinglong Temple is located, is also named after the temple.

However, just here, covering a small half of the city square, at the northeast corner of the Daqinglong Temple, there is a princess’s villa, a Taoist temple that sacrificed itself to become a monk—Youxianguan, which is also the goal of Jiang Tian’s current exploration. .However, the next moment, a faint exclamation sounded from under the corner.
