Chapter 134 Unparalleled Jade Capital City, Earth Demon Spearhead Technique ([-]-character chapter)

The capital of Ming Dynasty, the full name of Baiyujing, is also known by the world as the capital, Tianjing, Buyejing, and Yujing. Among them, the name of Yujing is the most widely spread.

As the clouds and mist cleared, Jiang Xuan who had climbed to the peak finally saw Bai Yujing who was passed on by word of mouth in the world.

Baiyujing is five hundred miles wide from north to south, and the distance from east to west is the same. The whole city is in the shape of a boxy square.

Of course, this is just the information Jiang Xuan read from the book, and it is impossible to see the whole picture of Bai Yujing from his position.

He could only see that the white jade capital was hundreds of feet high, and the city walls were white jade in color without a single gap, as if the whole city was built directly from a huge piece of white marble after digging it out.

Under the sunlight, dragons and phoenixes flew on the wall that should have been as smooth as a mirror, and various gods and beasts emerged one after another.

Countless ferocious beasts and divine beasts catch each other and fight each other, and just by taking a look at them, it seems that there is boundless evil spirit rushing towards them.

Apart from this time, images of ancient sages teaching and enlightening the people occasionally appeared. Even if the distance was far away, there seemed to be the sound of teaching in Jiang Xuan's ears.

On the city wall, there are five steps, one sentry post and ten steps, one post, and all the sergeants are wearing heavy armor.

Even if they were far away, even if they didn't use the pupil technique, Jiang Xuan could see them unreasonably.

They hold the yellow with their left hand and hold the blue sky with their right. Their steps are neat and uniform, and they are elites at first glance.

There are countless military forts outside the city. From time to time, a large number of soldiers fly into Qingming from the military forts on huge birds, patrolling the sky, casting large shadows on the ground.

There are also various gods and magic signs on the military fort.

Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, Xuanwu, Taotie, Chaos, Wuwu, Qiongqi.
These dharma signs are clearly formed by the condensation of the evil spirit of the army, and their breath is not weaker than that of the gods.

Moreover, there are auras lingering between the military forts. If all the military forces are dispatched together, it must be a shocking situation.

On the military fort, there are crossbow arrows comparable to the size of house beams standing facing the sky, with countless talismans engraved on them, as if they would pierce the sky at any time.

Looking at the distance, there are still hundreds of meters of ships sailing, collecting the essence of the sun and the moon in the nine heavens, and then returning to the shipyard for repairing and unloading.

Under the city wall, there are countless common people carrying loads like ants, there are also monks and warriors striding forward, and there is an endless stream of dignitaries wearing gorgeous silk.

"Is this Baiyujing, the capital of Ming Dynasty?"

While muttering to himself, new doubts came to Jiang Xuan's mind:
"With such a powerful army, why did the Zhu family of the royal family live in a corner of the imperial city?"

"Is it sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, or is it because of other things?"

Various thoughts circled endlessly in Jiang Xuan's mind, causing his brows to wrinkle unconsciously.

Bai Yujing shocked Jiang Xuan too much.

This is just seeing Bai Yujing outside the city wall, but not the scenery inside the city.

The outside of the city is so shocking, what about the twelfth floor and five cities in the legendary Yujing City?How magnificent and magnificent will it be?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but use the pupil technique to take a look at Yu Jingcheng.

Then he saw a dragon.

A red dragon with a length of thousands of miles.

He closed his eyes and circled above Yujing, with the Heavenly Dragon Ball in his mouth, his beard fluttering in the wind, and the five virtues under his claws, his aura reached a level that Jiang Xuan couldn't fathom.

As if feeling someone spying, the Shenlong who had closed his eyes far above Yujing City suddenly opened his eyes, and then took a look at Jiang Xuan from a distance.

There is no so-called sacred object that cannot be looked directly at. When Shenlong's gaze fell on him, Jiang Xuan only felt an indescribable sense of comfort spread all over his body.

It's like going to a brothel to find your beloved woman to take off and land, the feeling is hard to describe to outsiders.

Maybe for a moment, maybe for a long time.

In short, when the comfort subsided and Jiang Xuan opened his eyes again, the red dragon had closed them again, and he also felt an indescribable sense of emptiness.

How cool it was before, how empty it is now.

At this moment, he may be even more saintly than a saint.

"My little master, have you also been blessed by the Fire God Dragon?"

In the absence of space, the little tiger's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Xuan's ears.

Leaning weakly on the donkey cart and nodding, Jiang Xuan then asked curiously, "What is the blessing of the Huode Shenlong?"

"It's a blessing."

"Da Ming belongs to Fire Virtue, so the manifestation of the dynasty's luck is the Fire Virtue Dragon."

"Although the God of Luck belongs to the Ming court in name, it also belongs to every commoner in the Ming Dynasty."

"As long as you are a commoner of the Ming Dynasty, you recognize yourself as a descendant of Yanhuang, and you have certain talents and aptitudes, you will basically be blessed by the Huode Shenlong when you come to Yujing City."

"There are also those little dolls born in Yujing City, basically they will be blessed when they are born."

"Of course, it's just basically, not everyone will be blessed."

"Master was blessed when he brought me here, and you are also blessed when you bring me here."

"Sure enough, I'm a lucky Cerebellar Axe."

Seeing the cute little tiger, Jiang Xuan couldn't help reaching out and patting him gently:
"Don't talk like my sister."

"I didn't learn!"

The little tiger is stubborn every day:

"I just think Yao'er calling me like this is nice and close, and I like it when she calls me like that."

Seeing the puffed up cheeks of the little tiger, Jiang Xuan couldn't help laughing.

I don't know where this little tiger learned it, but his temperament has not grown, but he likes to be cute more and more.

"Do you know what happened to those military forts outside the city?"

"I just counted. There are exactly 27 military forts facing us. If the number of military forts on the other sides is the same, there are 108 military forts."

"Furthermore, the military formations on each military fort seem no weaker than those of my fifth master."

"The Zhu family of the royal family has such a strong background, why can't the government order come out of Yujing City, and the world will be in such a mess?"

"I don't know that."

The little tiger shook his head and replied, "Master seems to say that it has something to do with the atmosphere of the earth. After leaving the Yujing City, the strength of those troops will drop, but I didn't hear the details."

Looking at the complex and orderly ground veins outside Yujing City, Jiang Xuan nodded thoughtfully.

Then he didn't think too much, just waved the rein in his hand and drove the donkey cart towards Yujing City.

If you don't have enough strength, it's useless to overthink some things.

Rather than being entangled in distracting thoughts, it is better to live a purer life.

As Jiang Xuan drove up, the Yang family firm, who had been repairing for a long time behind him, hurriedly followed after seeing this, fearing that a group of monsters and ghosts would be picked out from behind and surround them.

Not long after Jiang Xuan and the others left, a dozen or so figures suddenly appeared on the mountain that Jiang Xuan had stood before.

"My lord, let them go now?"

"Master Wan Chong is still waiting for the copper smelter from the first mountain."

The head monk, wearing a black robe, a big hood, and holding a string of prayer beads, stared at the evil cultivator who had just spoken:

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Can this be messed up? If you want to rob yourself, even if it's just in case, I don't want to be struck by lightning."

"My lord, the donkey rider might just say big things about us, we, um, my lord"

"In the future, keep the tricks clean for me. Don't mess with people you shouldn't provoke, and don't think about things you shouldn't think about. Otherwise, the result will be the same as him, you know?"

The rest of the evil cultivators looked at the cultivators struggling in the purple flames, and couldn't help but shuddered, "Yes, my lord."

The evil cultivator known as the Supreme Master nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words:
"My father, I can live until now, relying on this ability to seek good fortune and avoid evil. I will hang out with me and ensure that you can live safely to the end."

"If you are like this guy, you can't talk and do things without thinking, and I don't need others to do it. I will kill people first, so as to save me from causing trouble."

"This fool doesn't even think about it. People who can protect the way with mana-level spirit beasts are ordinary people?"

"Is it true that I learned the "Sprouting Technique" by my life?"

After saying that, he waved his sleeve robe to cover everyone:

"Separate to find the second and third child to see the situation. If you succeed, you will succeed. If you don't succeed, you will be ready to run away."

"I don't want to be trained by that monster as a human being after I go back."

"Da Ming is not the only one who can live in this world. With our strength, we can call ourselves kings and ancestors in the west."

"I heard that the Dayan horse over there is good. Although the taste is a bit heavy, it is still strong."

After the words fell, a group of evil cultivators had disappeared on the hill.

And as the evil cultivators disappeared, a piece of talisman was also reduced to ashes from the weeds not far from them.

At the moment when the talisman turned into ashes, Jiang Xuan, who was driving a donkey cart on the official road, couldn't help but look back at the mountain.

"Although the "Whispering Talisman" is thrown in the weeds, it is really impossible to see it if you don't look carefully, but this is only for ordinary people."

"For a monk who has cultivated divine sense, this thing should be almost under the nose, right?"

"So those words were told to me on purpose?"

"What kind of thing is Wan Chong? Xie Chong? I've never heard of it."

"I also said that the west can be called the king and the ancestor, and I don't know what's going on in the west of this world."

Riding a little donkey, thinking about what the group of evil cultivators said, thinking about it, Jiang Xuan shook his head again.

"Da Ming didn't figure it out yet, researching what to do outside."

Glancing towards Yujing City, which was covered by mountains, Jiang Xuan immediately shook the reins and continued on his way.

Shangjing Mansion is not big.

In other words, after subtracting Yujing City and the military fort outside the city, the remaining area of ​​Shangjing Mansion is not large.

After only two hours of driving, Jiang Xuan walked through the mountains in the south and came to an endless plain.

There are rice fields criss-crossing the plains, and if autumn comes, you can surely see a large golden rice ear.

It is now cold winter, and there is little rain in the north, so it looks a little desolate at the moment.

Following the road sign on the edge of the field to a straight road with a width of 33 meters, Jiang Xuan felt the surging air of the earth veins on the road, and immediately remembered a sentence in the book:

"Outside the city of Yujing, there is a Tao named Zhizhi. When a person walks over a hundred feet in one step, the world calls it the Heavenly Road."

"So the road in front of you is the straight road in the book, which is the road to heaven?"

Curiosity arose in his heart, Jiang Xuan did not hesitate, and directly boarded the 'Heavenly Road' in a donkey cart.

Just at the moment when he boarded the 'Heavenly Road', Jiang Xuan felt a thick earth energy wrapping himself up.

Subconsciously waved the rein in his hand, followed Xiao Maolu's four hooves up and down and took a step, and then Jiang Xuan found that the environment around him had changed.

The forest that was still in the corner of the eye had disappeared after the little donkey took a step.

Looking back, isn't that woodland already a hundred feet away?

"Tsk, I thought that a step of one hundred feet was a false finger, a modification technique, but I didn't expect it to be realistic."

"One step at a time, how is it different from the supernatural powers in mythology?"

"It's really outrageous."

With a word of emotion, Jiang Xuan immediately drove the little donkey on the road again.

Soon, the hundred-mile-long straight road passed under Jiang Xuan's feet, and Jiang Xuan also stood under the majestic city wall of Yujing City.

Looking left and right at the towering white jade wall that couldn't be seen, Jiang Xuan once again sighed that the practice world is outrageous, so Jiang Xuan drove the donkey cart to the city gate on the left.

The bigger the city, the more gates there will be.

Just like Yujing City, there will be three gates every fifty miles.

The gate in the middle is the gate for the passage of the army. It has been closed all year round, and it is rumored that it has not been opened for a long time.

Except for the gate in the middle, the left and right gates are the same as the gates of the county seat.

The door on the left is used by extraordinary people such as monks and warriors, while the door on the right is used by ordinary people.

As for the caravan, they need to go to the south gate to enter the city and pay the city entry tax.

After all, Yujing City is the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are not many practitioners who practice Taoism and martial arts, compared to the counties Jiang Xuan had been to before, there are not many extraordinary people.

No, Jiang Xuan entered the city gate after queuing for half an hour.

Glancing at the [-]-meter-deep city gate, Jiang Xuan was called back to his senses by the city guard in front of the city gate before he could say a word of emotion, "This is the first time for Master Dao to come to Yujing City?"

Looking at the city guard with a good smile on his face, and looking at himself in a white Confucian uniform, Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed a trace of doubt:
"How do you know that it's my first time here, and that I'm a monk?"

Hearing this, the city guard pointed to a mirror hanging on the city wall:
"This sky mirror can learn from the world and remember all the spirits in the world."

"Although this side of the city cave is only a secondary mirror, it is connected to the main mirror, but its power is not as strong as the main mirror."

"The Jiantian mirror has never been out of Yujing City, and your information is not displayed on it. Naturally, it is because you have never been to Yujing."

"As for being able to tell that you are a cultivator, it is naturally because of my pair of eyes."

"A monk, especially a monk like you who is not in the world of mortals, has a very different temperament."

Speaking of this, Cheng Wei smiled:
"I have bad eyesight, how can I guard the city gate here."

Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard the words, and then said, "It is indeed the first time for Pindao to come to Yujing City. What do you need to enter the city?"

"Master Dao, come with me, so as not to make those people behind wait in a hurry."

The city guard stretched out his hand and led Jiang Xuan into the city cave, and led him into a small room in the city cave, then knocked on the stone table in the room, and took out a jade tablet:
"Master Dao, this is the road guide of Yujing City, and it is also the map of the entire Yujing City. We need to engrave your origin on it."

"Where you can go, where you can't go, where you should go to buy and sell things, which sphere of influence the place belongs to, and what taboos this influence has, all are clearly written on the jade plaque."

"All you need is to probe into it with your divine sense."

"Of course, if your division has a resident in the city, you can also go to the division to exchange for a better guide after you enter the city."

After explaining everything clearly, Cheng Wei continued:
"Master Dao, please tell me your name, person and affiliation, and you can enter the city after the younger one is recorded here."

"Of course, it would be even better if you could tell us about your realm."

Jiang Xuan nodded when he heard the words, and after pondering for a while, he replied, "Jiang Daoxuan, a poor Taoist, is from Sixi County, Beihu Prefecture, and he is a student of Shenxiao Sect."

As his words fell, the city guard, who had always been respectful, couldn't help shaking. Although his face didn't change, Jiang Xuan felt a wave of panic and fear rising from him.

"Master Dao, are you the second generation disciple of Shenxiao?"

"something wrong?"

"No problem, of course no problem."

Hastily explained, the city guard then bent his body even lower:

"To let the Daoist know that the monks of your sect are usually in the Star Observation Tower on the twelfth floor. If you want to change directions, you can go directly to the Star Observation Tower."

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the room to perform a few spells, and then a stream of light flew out of the mirror and landed on the jade tablet in his hand, circled around and then fell back into the mirror.

"Master Dao, your information has been recorded, and you take this road-leading jade token well."

After handing the jade token to Jiang Xuan, he knocked on the table again, and took out three jade tokens that were one size smaller:

"Master Dao, spirit beasts need to wear animal tags to walk in the city, otherwise they will be made things difficult by the patrolling city guards."

"You are a high performer of the Shenxiao sect, of course the city guards dare not do anything to you, but these trivial matters are also troublesome for you."

"Do you think you want these spirit beasts to wear beast tags?"

Looking at the smaller number of animal tags on Chengwei's hand, Jiang Xuan nodded:
"Give me a few more bucks."

After finishing speaking, he knocked on the green dragon ring in his hand, and greeted Kang Jinlong's spirit beasts that had been turned into rings.

Seeing the spirit beasts occupying half of the room, Cheng Wei wiped away the nonexistent sweat on his forehead, then took out more than ten animal cards from the table, and put together a total of 20 yuan.

"Master Dao, you can take 20 yuan first, if it is not enough, you can go to the government office in the city to continue to get it."

Taking the animal card from the city guard casually, Jiang Xuan asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"No, Master Dao, just enter the city."

Nodding his head, he turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Xuan suddenly heard something and turned to look at the city guard:

"Pindao has a question I want to ask."

"Master Dao, tell me."

"Small ones must know everything and say everything."

"I saw a lot of four-wheeled vehicles all the way from Beihe Mansion, thinking that Yujing City is the capital, there should be more of these vehicles."

"But as I walked, I found that the closer I got to the Shangjing Mansion, the fewer these things."

"When I entered the Shangjing Mansion, I didn't see any of these things."

"What's the reason here?"

After Jiang Xuan's words fell, the city guard suddenly showed an expression that turned out to be the question.

"Master Dao, it's not that there is no one, it's because you haven't met it."

"There are rules in the city. Those iron bumps can only come in from the west. Our side is the south. Naturally, you will see fewer iron bumps."

Nodding his head clearly, Jiang Xuan then waved his hand at the city guard, hung a beast tag on the little donkey and walked out of the city cave on his own.

As soon as he walked out of the city cave, a man jumped over the crowd and came straight to Jiang Xuan.

"My lord, do you need me to help you lead the way? My nickname is Jingcheng Xiaoshitong. I don't know everything in the capital, but I can say it."

Looking at the man in front of him, Jiang Xuan had an interesting look on his face:
"Knowledgeable? This nickname is interesting."

The man laughed when he heard the words:
"Bai Xiaosheng and Wan Shi Tong are the titles of a big man like you, and a small one can't afford it. That's why we got the nickname Xiao Shi Tong."

Jiang Xuan sounded interesting, so he simply got out of the cart and put the little donkey into the demon refining pot to accompany Xue Jing, then put away the donkey cart with a magic storage tool and said:

"Okay, that's you."

"Is there a carriage?"

Seeing Jiang Xuan's move, the man's eyes lit up immediately, "Yes, of course."

"My lord, please wait."

After the voice fell, he waved his hand in one direction.

Not long after, an old but extremely clean carriage stopped in front of the two of them:
"My lord, except that the carriage is old, the cushions, backrest, and even the goose feathers on the carriage are brand new, and no one has used them since they were made."

"You guys really have a heart."

After boarding the carriage and looking at the brand-new cushions, Jiang Xuan sat down cross-legged and said casually, "Take the Pindao Guanxing Tower first."

Hearing the word Guanxinglou, the man who sat on the driver's seat and just picked up the reins suddenly trembled, "My lord, the Guanxinglou is the territory of the Shenxiao sect."

"Pindao is a disciple of the Shenxiao sect."

The man was at a loss for words, and asked after a while, "Then Taoist, should we go through the 'Road to Heaven' or hurry?"

"What's the difference?"

"Going from the 'Tianlu', you need a hundred treasures for a mile. If you don't take the Tianlu, you have to go there as usual. You don't need money, but you will definitely not be able to arrive today."

Jiang Xuan understood.

Isn't this the difference between highways, provincial roads, and rural roads?

"How long does it take to walk from 'Road to Heaven'?"

"The Observatory Tower is on the north side, even if you walk from the 'Road to Heaven', it will take more than an hour. After all, the 'Road to Heaven' in the city is only three feet away, and you often have to detour, which is far behind the speed outside the city. "

"Since that's the case, then you can take Pindao around here first, and let's talk about Yujing City by the way."

"Okay."

"Speaking of Yujing City, we must first talk about the twelfth floor and five cities."

"The twelfth floor is the Star Observation Tower, the Duojin Tower, the Cangjing Tower, the Strange Object Tower, the Flower Appreciation Tower, and the Dengxian Tower"

"The five cities are the central imperial city, the Tianjun City in the east, the Wanguo City in the south, the Wanling City in the west, and the Sheji God City in the north."

As Xiaoshitong narrated everything he knew, and compared with the guidance given by the city guard, Jiang Xuan's understanding of Yujing City became more and more in-depth.

Just when the trivia was dry, Jiang Xuan suddenly said:

"Go to Wanling City."

As the name suggests, Wanling City is the place where alien races and spirits are located. There are ghosts, alien races, and transformed monsters living in it.

From Jiang Xuan's point of view, the so-called Wanling City is more like a village in the city, a village in the city specially divided for aliens.

When Jiang Xuan went to Wanling City, he simply wanted to see those alien races who couldn't survive and wanted to sell themselves to survive.
