Dao fruit.

"It's no wonder that Gyeonggi is said to be a restricted area for supernatural powers. After I left Xingde City, I approached Xingjing step by step, and I felt heavier and heavier. The extraordinary power was gradually suppressed, and even the acupoints of my body seemed to be covered by invisible forces If it is blocked, it will be more difficult for the soul to get out of the body, and the connection with the spiritual energy of the outside world will also create a gap, and it will not return to the original ease."

Standing in front of the gate of Xingjing City, looking at the scene of people coming and going in and out of the city, Qiu Yan took a deep breath. The first thing he felt was not the prosperity of this city, but the emanation that emanated from the city all the time. A solemn breath came out.

Heavy, heavy.

"However, there are some people in this city who are gathering towards me..."

That's right, the strange people in this group are exactly him, Hu Qi and others.

Ever since leaving Xingde City and heading towards Xingjing, Qiu Yan and the others felt heavier and heavier every time they advanced.

This is not because there are really heavy objects on the body, but because the many forces in the body are suppressed little by little, so that the body that becomes lighter and more controllable after the practice begins to change to the state when it was not practiced. The huge contrast that exists gives birth to an increasingly heavy feeling.

Of course, it is more of a spiritual obstacle.

"However, this kind of change is also an extraordinary experience. Changes in the environment lead to changes in the mind and consciousness, and then affect the body. The truth contained in this is very worth savoring."

With such thoughts in mind, after traveling for a certain distance, Qiu Yan gradually let go of his concern about external pressure, and didn't even bother to explore what kind of power was suppressing supernatural powers.

Such a change caused the two old Taoists of Jinwu Road to be secretly surprised.

These two veterans were unwilling to reveal their names, so Qiu Yan gave them two code names, one called "Jin Zuo" and the other "Jin You".

The two of them were sealed as Nascent Souls, and their cultivation bases became empty, but apart from fighting and waking up, there was a period of incompatibility, showing certain mood swings, after that, the two old Taoists quickly adapted, and some A kind of meaning of being at ease with the situation.

Afterwards, Qiu Yan and others left the inn before many wealthy businessmen came to visit, and embarked on the road to the west. Along the way, magical powers were gradually suppressed, but for the two monks whose Nascent Soul was banned There is not much influence, and the state of mind of the two of them has not changed much.

On the contrary, they turned to observe the physical and mental changes of Qiu Yan and others, wanting to know more about Qiu Yan.

In fact, the suppression of supernatural powers, the more advanced people are, the more obvious the experience is. For monks like Hu Qi and Dai Guo, the sealing of the acupoints is just to increase the gap between them and the spiritual energy, which makes the true Qi is a little obscure, and it doesn't have a big impact on strength, qi and blood. It will have a greater impact when their realm is higher.

In contrast, the sex cultivator, no matter how high or low the realm, will feel the obvious influence as long as he gets close to Xingjing. Even after the acupoints are blocked and the soul is difficult to get out, the whole person will gradually tend to be ordinary mortals. , Often it will cause a lot of waves in the monk's heart, affect the state of mind, and hinder the cultivation base.

The two elders of Jinwu originally wanted to see Qiu Yan's mood swings, but they didn't expect that the latter would soon get used to the changes and show extraordinary attainments in mood.

"It's really not a fluke that Qiu Yan can achieve his current level of cultivation. Judging from the information collected from the sect, this person is not very old. I don't know if he was replaced by some old monster, or Su Hui awakened, or Almighty reincarnation."

Thinking of this, the interest of the two old Taoists in Qiu Yan increased, but after Yuan Ying was sealed, their bodies were not as good as those of young people. But he was exhausted, but he was unwilling to admit defeat, and followed the same pace, so that he almost exhausted his physical strength.

When they arrived in front of the city gate of Xingjing, the two of them couldn't even talk, they just gasped for breath, sweating profusely.

"stop."

On the edge of the city gate, the soldiers in charge of guarding the city gate saw this group of people and stopped them.

Qiu Yan and his group were so weird, of course they wouldn't ignore them, not to mention that the trial was imminent and the number of people in Xingjing increased sharply, so it was time to strengthen vigilance.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, any negligence may cause unimaginable twists and turns, so we should not take it lightly.

"What are you doing? Is there a way to guide you?" The soldier came over, glanced at him, and his eyes fell on Qiu Yan. He could see that Qiu Yan was the backbone of this group of people, and he was dressed like a scholar. Let him have a guess.

"I'm an examinee who is going to Beijing for the exam. This is the document." Qiu Yan sent the document over without further ado.

At the same time, Qiu Yan was also observing this soldier. This soldier was wearing a military robe, with a strong physique, and his actions and demeanor had a strong air.

"After all, it is the capital of the capital. This soldier guarding the gate is full of energy, full of muscles and bones, and his blood is also aura. At the very least, he has trained Ming Jin well. If he is placed in the army of Jiannan Road, he is likely to be the commander of the corps and the commander of the fire. , but here is actually just a pawn guarding the gate!"

Qiu Yan looked towards the gate of the city again, and the soldiers who entered his sight were all similar to the man in front of him, with an appearance of extraordinary combat power.

The soldier took the document, glanced at Hu Qi and Dai Guo, and asked, "Are these two your servants?"

After getting an affirmative answer, he pointed to Jin Zuo and Jin You, and continued to ask: "Who are the two Taoist priests? Is there a clean commandment? Now there are a lot of people in Xingjing, who come from south to north, if there is no Documents, guides, and precepts are not allowed to enter the city, and can only settle in villages and towns outside the city."

In history, there have been many uprisings relying on Taoism. Therefore, in all dynasties, after the establishment of the world, Taoist priests will be controlled. The previous dynasty even had a Taoist official system in an attempt to completely control Taoism.

In this sect, there are many people with supernatural powers. Being controlled and restricted by the imperial court, there must be conflicts and stories. It is difficult to understand just by reading history books. Although Qiu Yan has also guessed, he does not know the details. .

In the Darui Dynasty, the imperial court's control over Taoism was slightly relaxed, and then there was a system of net precepts, which was similar to the registered households of people who practiced Taoism. It is the evidence for Taoist priests to travel around the world. As for the deeper influence, Qiu Yan is currently not aware of it.

"They..." Qiu Yan frowned, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the two elders of Jinwu to say directly: "Poverty Dao and others, there is a certificate of cleanliness." After saying that, he took out the document from his bosom and handed it to him in the same way. past.

After the soldiers took it, they asked the names of Hu Qi and Dai Guo, and after looking at several people, they gave the things to the clerk beside the city gate for identification and recorded them in the book, and then returned the things.

"After Qiu Jieyuan enters the city, find an inn to settle down as soon as possible. In a few days it will be time for the test."

"Thank you for the reminder." After receiving the things, Qiu Yan and the others entered the city.

Seeing that several people had gone far away, the soldier returned to the place where the city gate was stationed, sat on a chair, and chatted with the clerk.

"Recently, there have been a lot of Taoist priests in the city. I don't know why. Could it be related to the exam?"

"We don't need to pay attention to these things. Don't ask too much. It's just that Qiu Yan and his party, the scholar, the warrior and the Taoist, are really weird. When we return to the yamen at night, we have to report to the higher authorities, just in case."

"That's it."

………………

"The people of Xingjing actually have such great hostility towards foreigners."

As soon as he entered the city, Qiu Yan was greeted by the hostile stares of passers-by on the road, and the emotion of venting his anger on others was beyond words.

Although the supernatural powers are suppressed in Xingjing, the perception is still there. Even if it is not as sensitive as before, it is not difficult to sense the emotions of passers-by on the road.

"A few guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

After walking a few more steps, Qiu Yan ran into a person who was not so hostile to him, but this person was a guest officer one by one, saying that he wanted to take them to the inn.

At this time, Hu Qi walked up to Qiu Yan's ear and whispered, "My lord, don't be fooled. People who pull people on the street like this are mostly run-down black shops. They are most common when people gather. Our brothers have also participated in martial arts before." I have encountered a similar situation in the General Assembly." In the words, there was a remnant, thinking that he had suffered a lot in the past.

"Isn't this similar to the scene where people were taken to stay at the train station in the previous life?" Qiu Yan thought with great interest, looking at the outfits of this and that person, making the other person's heart tremble.

"Thank you, brother, we already have a place to stay." Seeing the momentum, Hu Qi went up to negotiate.

After refusing the man's invitation, Qiu Yan led a group of people towards the city, marching from the edge to the inner city.

Hu Qi noticed that Qiu Yan entered the city this time, seemingly wandering aimlessly, but he also seemed to be moving forward with a purpose.

"My lord, are you going to take us around the capital?" Dai Guo didn't have much thought, showing an excited expression.

As for the two elders of the Golden Crow, they were already exhausted from exhaustion, they still gritted their teeth and followed, just taking one step at a time, making people unable to help but sweat for them.

As he walked, Qiu Yan said with emotion: "Although Xingjing is the capital of the country, in terms of prosperity, it may not be as prosperous as the Shangdong Capital."

"This..." Hu Qi was stunned when he heard the words, and looked around, but seeing people coming and going, he was on par with Dong, but he didn't know why his young master would say such a thing.

He was about to continue asking, but Qiu Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly quickened his pace.

"Huh?" Dai Guo followed the trend and let out a little "huh".

In front of Qiu Yan, several scholars were approaching. Two of them showed excited expressions after seeing Qiu Yan. They rushed out of the crowd in a hurry, and shouted the same words——

"Brother Qiu, I finally saw you!"

"Brother Luo, Brother Zhou." Qiu Yan also had a smile on his face.
