Chapter 368 – Jianzhou
The deeper one goes into Jianzhou, the more one feels the difference in flavor.
The capital and the spirit state, are a little bit of the ancient central plains, which the capital is more hallowed, behavior is more civilized, planning is more organized, the spirit of the state martial arts fighting culture is heavier, behavior is more jianghu, the city is also dirty and messy, but the overall architectural style, cultural characteristics and even marriage customs, etc., the difference is not big, are biased towards the simple and solemn, can be seen to belong to the same region.
If the world is divided according to the nine states, Lingzhou and the capital city are roughly the same as the capital city state?
The south has rubbed the edge of the Seven Xuan Valley and the Xuan Tian Sect without going deeper, while the western Yi State side is in a mess, are not mentioned for the time being.
The southeastern heron state is more obvious with the characteristics of the Jiangnan water town, humanities more abundant, literature and music culture is relatively strong, architecture and food pay more attention to elegant and fine, the slanting sun and grass trees, smoky alleys and streets, fishermen sing at night, the color tone is biased towards the soft smoke and rain of the warm color atmosphere. Being influenced by the Buddhist cultural atmosphere, should be rich in Qin Lou Chu Hall powder flavor is not highlighted, otherwise it is a vivid smoke and willow Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou on earth.
And Jianzhou is to give people a kind of solemn convergence of cold feeling, mountain peaks are gray and white as the main body, cold and precipitous, straight into the clouds. Architectural style and pedestrian clothing are still black and white, people do not speak much. Before the feeling in the restaurant is obviously not like other places lively and boisterous, are talking to themselves. Walking on the street is even more obvious, pedestrians encountered acquaintances only nodded and smiled that kind of, will let a person have a kind of town are very cold illusion, in fact, the crowd is quite a lot, rich in material, especially all kinds of minerals produced by the majority.
Swords are the main weapons, generally longer than other swords, often unsheathed. Most people give Xue Mu a sharp and cold feeling, there is a conflict, looking for the scene of the nonsense is also very little, short sentences are mostly, three words between the sword to start fighting, won the fight turned away, behind the background of the blood and snow intertwined, very ancient dragon.
Attention to this side of the folk style, often let Xue Mu heart rise up this sentence: society my sword state, people hard words not much.
Yue Xiaochan was obviously quite infected as well, and whispered, “This place is more like the first song Qianxue sang at the opening.”
Xue Mu said, “I originally thought that I had traveled from the flourishing Central Plains to the generous land of Yan and Zhao, but looking at it like this, it turns out that it is from Huang Yi to Ancient Dragon.”
Yue Xiaochan wondered, “What and what ah ……”
“Nothing.” Xue Mu stopped to look at the street ahead and whispered, “Something happened again.”
Yue Xiaochan looked up, only to see several black-clad swordsmen silently breaking into a martial arts center, looking at that appearance it was not like a normal visit. Yue Xiaochan got excited and pulled Xue Mu to the front of the martial arts center to watch.
There was a plaque “Sword Wind Martial House” hanging on the martial arts hall, and there was a sword symbol on the lower right side of the plaque, Yue Xiaochan recognized it as a symbol affiliated with the Sword Sect, and she was even more surprised that people would not dare to touch the backstage of the martial arts hall.
At this time, in the courtyard of the martial arts center, the martial arts center and the intruder’s black clothes are silent relative, both sides are black clothes, the martial arts center’s face is a bit resentful, the intruder’s expression is indifferent.
After a while of silence, the leader of the intruders finally opened his mouth, “Winter confession, it’s time to pay.”
The head of the martial arts center was a big man with slightly frosty temples, and said solemnly, “Traditionally, it is delivered at the end of the season.”
The intruder said indifferently, “For the Great Sword Asking Ceremony, we should offer a gift.”
The Pavilion Master laughed coldly, “You just paid the fall offering ten days ago, three days ago you said it was to raise money for the Grand Ceremony and paid another, and now you’re still here, no end in sight?”
“You disrespect the Patriarch?”
“The Patriarch has not asked the Sect to make an offering.”
“This is our own intention.”
“My martial arts school’s intentions will be expressed on its own, but there is no need for you, the Heavenly Sword Sect, to do it for us.”
“Do you suspect that our sect is using this as a name to privately engulf it?”
The pavilion master acquiesced.
“Then speak with your sword.” The intruder slowly drew his longsword, “Or perhaps your martial arts school has taken this opportunity to challenge, and has even risen in rank no?”
The Pavilion Master was silent, only drawing his sword to express a response.
Watching the two men fight to a standstill, Yue Xiaochan leisurely hugged her shoulders, “What a pandemonium. Still a righteous sect.”
Not seeing Xue Mu respond for half a day, Yue Xiaochan turned her head and asked, “What are you thinking about?”
“Oh, I’m thinking about how they didn’t say ‘You came,’ ‘I came,’ ‘You shouldn’t have come,’ ‘But I still came’.”
“……” Yue Xiaochan gasped, “Waiting for your command, should I intervene?”
“How to intervene? Star Moon Sect meddling in the internal affairs of Ask Sword Sect?”
“You don’t have Mu Jian Li’s token?”
“Does a bellyband count?”
“……”
Xue Mu thought for a moment, felt out his Department Six waist plate, and strided in, “Department Six mediation, the two of you stop for now.”
The two didn’t even stop, but the bystander looked at him askance and spat, “Eagle dog.”
Xue Mu: “……”
Yue Xiaochan laughed until she stumbled.
“What are you laughing at, give me all of them and beat them flat!” Xue Mu shoved his waist plate back in and replaced it with his fan, personally striking out.
Yue Xiaochan leisurely followed by his side, swatting for him and didn’t make a move.
This was just a very low level martial arts school and local sect, even this “Heavenly Sword Sect” Sect Master was only at the peak level of Qi Practicing, in fact, this level was already a local powerhouse. And this person who came out to do business as well as the head of the martial arts center is only at the level of Qi Hai cultivation.
That’s right, it took Xue Mu a few hours to reach his cultivation level when he first came to the capital, but ordinary martial artists might need a lifetime.
One is Xue Mu’s own poisonous body plus Zhen Shi Ding fragments of the aura of the shocking BUG, two is also because of the level of his contact with the ridiculously high, Xue Qingqiu hand for him to pass the vein, change in the traditional martial arts that is the bottom of the cliff old grandpa dunked.
The straight point of view, he crossed the first eye to see the person, is the other crossing the predecessor of the whole book millions of words in the grand finale to see the BOSS. other people are still in the martial arts museum forging body face, the trekking fellow as a primary target treatment, he is in the final BOSS bed, considering how not to be a hug embrace death.
So Yue Xiaochan was also relieved to let Xue Mu practice alone. Without using the Poison Power, he was also quite tired of fighting, the folding fan that he usually used to pretend to be a pussy was not easy to use for fighting, it was really not very smooth, practicing the best techniques, using the top level battle skills, with a cultivation that exceeded the cultivation of the two swordsmen by a large margin, it actually took a lot of effort to subdue the two swordsmen.
Yue Xiaochan sighed as she watched, and Xue Mu panted and stomped at the two men with extreme loss of face: ”Looking down on the Eagle Dogs? Then what do you guys know? All you do is consume resources, fight bravely, and even exempt taxes under the name of Ask Sword Affiliate, and do nothing for the people, so why do you look down on the Eagle Dogs? Why do you look down on the Eagle Dogs? You can’t beat me!”
This time, the two sides of the conflict were united and swarmed up, going to stop Xue Mu: “This big brother of Department Six! Let’s talk! Let’s talk!”
Saying a bunch of big truths was all empty, no one was paying attention at all. The last sentence, “You can’t beat me,” is the most important thing, and the fist says what’s right in this world. Xue Mu stopped his feet, puked at the ground, and coldly grunted, “Patriarch Mu doesn’t need to offer a gift, whoever uses this name to scrape the ground again, defeating her reputation, beware of her flaying your skins! Scram!”
The Heavenly Sword Sect’s people scurried away with their heads in their hands, and that martial arts hall’s owner was helped up by his disciples, looking at Xue Mu strangely, “This constable, could it be that he is a friend of Patriarch Mu?”
“So what if he is?”
“Please ask the constable to talk to Patriarch, if this goes on, not to mention her reputation, the entire Questioning Sword Sect will become a devil, how different it is from crossing the road!”
Xue Mu was silent.
Others also said, “When Patriarch Lin was around, the situation was already chaotic, and people thought that the change to a new Patriarch would have a new atmosphere, but they didn’t realize that it would even get worse. The little girl won’t be able to do anything after all ah ……”
“What does it have to do with her? Just came to power less than a month ago, and it’s none of her business if others take the opportunity to cause trouble?” Xue Mu said so, but in his heart, he also suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This matter has a problem ah, ask the sword clan freezing three feet and not start now, before so long the wind has not collapsed it, how also not to Mu Jian Li on the stage on the whole clan wind drastic change it, afraid that some people ask the sword to take advantage of the change of the master, the master of the young minister suspected of the gap period, in the intention to make things right ……
