Chapter 1976: Bronze Column Country
The seventh uncle was extremely alert to Xiao Hua at first, and he treated Xiao Jian even more aggressively. However, after several contacts, Xiao Jian was far away from the seventh uncle. Apart from Yuanya sometimes coming to Xiao Jian to "please" him, only Qi Jin often chatted with Xiao Jian! In short, Xiao Jian lived a very lonely journey, even as if he was walking on pins and needles, as if there was a pair of eyes behind him and wanted to see through him. Now that he had the chance to get rid of these eyes, how could he not cherish it?
When Xiao Hua and others bid farewell to everyone, it was You Chongquan who was reluctant to leave. Xiao Hua was so kind to him. Not only did he give him a lot of spiritual dates, but he even got a formula for fasting from Liu Yi! With You Chongquan's intelligence, how could he not know that this was Xiao Hua's tacit approval? If Xiao Hua had not been a Taoist monk, You Chongquan almost thought that Xiao Hua wanted to accept him as his disciple! Even the idea of having a little girl in the Xiao Hua family had first grown up!
Looking at You Chongquan and Liu Yi and saying goodbye, Xiao Hua smiled. Since he met You Chongquan again, would he let him slip away? It was just a family of Confucianism. When his cultivation level was restored, he didn't have to do anything else. As long as you give You Chongquan a pair of wings of a golfer, wouldn't You Chongquan follow him obediently?
"Huang Yi, Huang Yi..." Xiao Hua turned his head and looked deep in the sky, "Xiao doesn't know where you are, whether it's the Netherworld or the Xiaoyu Continent; Xiao also doesn't know whether this You Chongquan is what you mentioned, but if Xiao can meet him, it means that he is destined to be. Xiao will benefit you a lot, and he will put this cause and effect on him in the future. If you have a spirit in the nine heavens..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Hua suddenly laughed. If Huang Yi had a spirit in the Nine Heavens, he would have been furious long ago, right? You Chongquan's little lady... was actually the descendant of the great scholar in the surname Chang! Not Huang Yi!!!
Xiao Jian finally came alive, no longer as dead as before. He whispered something beside Xiao Hua, with only smiles and respect on his face. Now he understood that Xiao Hua was definitely an unfathomable Taoist senior! Instead of the detailed work he thought from the beginning. Moreover, this unfathomable is really unfathomable, not just the kind he usually perfunctory to others. But after walking for more than ten days, the surrounding scenery gradually changed, the low houses and the countryside with curling smoke were getting more and more
With more, even the road is much flat and spacious. Xiao Jian still didn't mention any spiritual dates, as if he had never seen them before. Every once in a while, he asked Yuanya to find some food for him and enjoy it alone! Even his past and his abandoned Taoist cultivation were not mentioned at all. This stubbornness made Xiao Hua very impressed, and some of his previous hatreds were less. In fact, people are very complex and multifaceted. No matter what Xiao Jian's character is, he will always have some advantages.
It was ten days later, Xiao Hua and others came to a big city! But they saw that the city was more than ten feet high and the city walls were made of several feet of blue stone bricks. There were some mottled brown-black colors or some dark green moss in the cracks of the stone bricks. The entire city wall was not particularly straight, and there were many potholes on the brick surface. The potholes were big and small, and the large were several feet and tens of times. Several large stones were covered, and the small ones were the size of a thumb and several inches deep. There were also thin cracks connected between these potholes. In addition to the thick brown-black accumulation in the cracks of the stone bricks, the potholes in the entire city wall also precipitated this color, which looked heavy!
Especially, in this dusk, the dark and arrogant earth was unveiled and reflected on the city wall. The light and darkness and light were like a sad note spread on the city wall.
There are so many flags on the city wall that stretch for miles and cannot be seen at all. The flag pole of the flag is as thick as a bowl, about one meter high, and the flags on the flag pole are also several feet in size. They are painted with totems such as birds and beasts, and also written with huge copper pillars and words such as "Xu". These flags are rushing in the strong wind, as if they have the feeling of a golden drum sounding together. And when they are accompanied by the sound of a drum beating "dongdongdongdong", there are also the city walls, wearing armor, holding soldiers and swords in hand, and changing defenses quickly along the city walls, which makes people feel the illusion of war.
"Dad... our capital is so tall!" A childish voice sounded from Xiao Hua, and Xiao Hua moved his gaze from the big city. It was a child about three years old riding on the neck of a strong man, screaming in surprise.
"Yes! Niu'er, this is the capital of my Tongzhu Kingdom! It was also what my father told you before. Even the capital that could not be conquered by the joint attack and killing of the 40,000 soldiers of the Three Kingdoms!" said the strong man's loud voice.
"Children know!" replied in a crisp voice, "They surrounded our capital and attacked and killed for ten days and ten nights without being able to attack the city wall. In the end, our king led a large group of troops back to the capital and killed the enemy with eight thousand horses, and fled!"
"Look, the traces on this city wall were all smashed with stones back then! Those stones are like rain. Only my city and soldiers of the Copper Pillar Kingdom can withstand such a fierce attack!" said the strong man, looking up at the soldiers running back and forth on the city wall, and regretfully said, "It's a pity that it's a war now, otherwise Dad can take you to the city wall to see!"
"It's okay, Dad, when the child grows up, he will join the army! Then the child will go to the city wall to defend..." The child said very seriously.
"Haha, not bad, this is the child of my Tongzhu Kingdom! Dad is waiting for the day you are on duty above the capital!" The man laughed and carried the child towards the city gate several feet tall.
"Hehe..." Xiao Jian smiled coldly, "The Tongzhu Kingdom is in a state of war, and the capital is just like this!"
"Master Xiao is right!" Liu Yi stood up on the carriage and smiled, "I have been to the capitals of several countries before, and this city of the Copper Pillar Kingdom cannot be considered the highest and largest!"
Yes, this city is certainly more than ten feet high, but which one of the Tongmu City, the Jade City, etc. that Xiao Hua has seen is ten times that of this city? Such a small city in the world really cannot catch his eye. However, the mottled traces on this city wall are blood and meat sauce, which makes Xiao Hua sigh.
As for Yuanya, there may be no city wall in his eyes!
"Xiao Jian, does this city have no name?" Xiao Hua looked at the three words "Bronze Pillar Kingdom" above the city gate and frowned.
"Report to the immortal..." Xiao Jian said with a smile, "The rules of the countries in the Tibetan Immortal Continent, the capital city has no name, only the name of the country, but other cities have their own names!"
"Oh, that is to say, this capital is the Copper Pillar Kingdom?" Xiao Hua smiled. This custom is really interesting!
"Yes!" Xiao Jian kept saying, "The king of the Tongzhu Kingdom lives in this capital, and the palace of the Tongzhu Kingdom is also in it, and civil and military officials, etc. are also in it. If you only need to capture the capital, the Tongzhu Kingdom will fall. It is normal to say that this capital is the Tongzhu Kingdom...
"There are rivers around this capital... Is this used to protect the city?" Xiao Hua pointed his hand again and frowned, "Is this kind of defense useful?"
"The good immortals know that this is called a moat!" Xiao Jian explained, "The moat can separate the city from the enemy's cavalry, heavy infantry, etc. to avoid facing the enemy directly. Moreover, the river water that is not seen in this moat is poisonous water and fire water. It is not easy to pass through this moat. The moat of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is relatively wide, and ordinary catapults cannot be approached, and those huge rocks are powerless when they reach the city wall. It is said that there are people-eating fish and beasts in the moat. When the Three Kingdoms siege, thousands of people died in the moat..."
"Actually..." Xiao Hua said hesitantly, "This moat is nothing in Xiao's eyes! Xiao remembers that you once said that the Copper Pillar Kingdom should be the Confucian cultivator's lineage in charge of the royal power. The Confucian cultivator has countless methods, and this moat... can play a limited role! Just like the so-called siege of the Three Kingdoms, there is only one who needs to fly up to attack, and the big city will be broken soon?"
"Haha, immortal!" Xiao Jian smiled, "This Copper Pillar Kingdom is dominated by a Confucian family, but this Confucian family does not necessarily control this country! There are even a few other countries! The military and swords of Confucian family do not care about it! Moreover, even if the wars of different countries are fighting, the first thing that is to bear is the Confucian family behind the scenes, not the city! If these Confucian families have agreements and compromises, there will be no saying that they will attack the city! Only Confucian families cannot
Only after coordination can one attack the city! Even if the two Confucian cultivators have equal strengths, they will fight. As far as the man said, "The Three Kingdoms Siege, as far as I know, is that there are three smaller Confucian cultivators who want to replace the Confucian cultivators with the surname "Xu", and this is how the three families and the three countries attack the Tongzhu Kingdom! As for the end, hehe, it seems that the Xu family invited another great scholar to quell the war. As for the man's words, the king of the country was trying to save the city, he was skillful in spreading rumors!"
"Well, I understand!" Xiao Hua nodded slightly, "Where is the truth in this world that comes to the ears of ordinary people?"
While speaking, a group of children were holding small lanterns in their hands and ran out happily shouting from the city gate. These lanterns were made of green lotus leaves, and the places where the lanterns were illuminated were either square or oval, but they were also painted in blue and white, and the whole lantern looked like a lotus flower. Xiao Jian was stunned when he saw this scene and sighed: "Oh, today is actually the Zhongyuan Festival! This time passes so quickly!"
