Starting from the lifting of human restrictions

Chapter 179 The Imperial Capital
In the Great Chen Dynasty, the imperial capital was Luoyang.

In the early morning, there was a soft creak in a small courtyard in Zhengpingfang, the gate of the small courtyard opened, and Yang Chu walked out in a black robe that was no different from most people at this time.

After entering the center of power in the Chen Dynasty at this time, his hair has activated his spiritual energy to deliberately reach the long hair of most men. He has casually tied his hair in a bun, matched it with new clothes, and unconsciously That sense of alienation can be regarded as a bit of elegance.

After stepping out the door, Yang Chushi calmly walked towards the gradually bustling street outside.

After arriving in Luoyang, Yang Chu carefully observed this city, which should be regarded as a huge city at this time, under the night sky, but did not see any clues.

Although there seem to be many monsters in this city, and even some ghosts and ghosts, most of them can't become a climate.

The changes in human nature in this world are quite strange.

Yang Chu couldn't find any specific clues for a while, so he simply hid his whereabouts, instead of looking for the reason in a big way, but quietly changed his identity, and found a place to live in one of the city's squares.

With his current psychic cultivation, changing appearances, obtaining money, and forging identities, these are just trivial matters that don't require much brainpower.

"Brother Yang, I got up early today."

On the street outside the door, a man who was about forty years old and looked quite capable passed by. When he saw Yang Chu going out, he stamped his feet and said hello.

"Since I've come to the imperial capital, I can't bear to take a walk around."

Yang Chu smiled casually, then looked at the tough man who greeted him and asked, "Master Xu, where are you going?"

"I heard someone gossip last night, saying that another old man in the workshop passed away and was going to help with cooking." The stalwart man replied casually, then nodded at Yang Chu, "Brother Yang, let's take a tour of the city." , It’s not a big deal. It’s just that the identities of various people in this city are hard to tell, so be careful. In addition, come back early in the evening, otherwise the doors of the squares will not be opened, and they will easily be caught by the soldiers patrolling the streets.”

"Thank you, Master."

Yang Chu smiled and nodded towards the capable man surnamed Xu, and thanked him.

The other party is the owner of the Zhengpingfang where he lives now. It sounds a bit like a village head or a street committee. He has a lot of power, but his status is almost like that of a handyman.

He probably knew a little bit about the history of this world in the past few days.

It was somewhat different from the historical pattern he knew and the previous martial arts world.

Roughly, it was during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were changes in it.

Among them, the new dynasty lasted for more than 50 years, and then it collapsed. After that, several other dynasties emerged, and then there was a chaotic situation.

Counting hundreds of years, the specific timeline of his current Chen Dynasty is probably in the middle or end of Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang, the imperial capital, has changed several times. Although the history that Yang Chu knows is different, the architectural pattern of the city is similar.

The streets in the city are vertical and horizontal, and Lifang is adjacent to each other.The squares are separated by streets, and each square has a wall and a gate, which is opened during the day and closed at night.

What Yang Chu saw in the past two days, the Luoyang Emperor was naturally countless times more prosperous than other counties and cities he had seen.

Moreover, it seems that there is not much depression among the various squares and cities, but it is quite lively.

It seems that because of the unrest in recent years, a large number of wealthy households have poured into Luoyang, which has made the imperial capital more prosperous.

"This is where the imperial capital of the Chen Dynasty is located. The state of everyone is not as muddled as in other places, and they have always been in a state similar to anxiety and confusion."

Yang Chu came out of Zhengpingfang's residence and walked along the street all the way. On the way, he randomly picked a breakfast shop and bought some food.

His demeanor was calm and leisurely, but his eyes kept scanning the passing crowd.

In this capital, which can be called an ancient giant city, all the living conditions seem to be closer to the state he knows.

Most people are busy with their lives, and all kinds of order are fairly orderly. The entire government system of the Chen Dynasty also operates relatively smoothly in this imperial capital.

From time to time on the road, you can see the chariots, horses and sedan chairs of some high-ranking officials, or soldiers patrolling the streets, peddlers in a hurry, and merchants hawking in the storefronts. Everything looks very ordinary.

Among some wine shops, the talk was about the change of official positions in the court, or where there was any trouble, who's son was fighting with who, all kinds of things were very normal.

Yang Chu even explored this Luoyang city carefully in the night of the previous two days.

Soldiers who went out to patrol the city at night, and some ghosts and goblins who occasionally appeared from nowhere, most of the squares and cities were quite normal.

In some villages, towns and county governments outside Luoyang City, there seems to be nothing unusual. Whether it is farming or trafficking goods, they seem to revolve around this Luoyang City.

At a glance, it's almost impossible to detect anything strange in it.

But the more it was like this, Yang Chu felt that there was something weird in it.

He came out of Baiyao Mountain, and then went to Linguo County and Yunguo County. He also passed some other counties and towns on the way, and he could see that other places seemed to be in a state of chaos. The stage of desolation.

But in the imperial capital, everything seems to be in order, and the vast majority of people living in this city are safe and orderly.

Even if you see some dark sides, kidnappers, bandits, gangsters, and high-ranking officials' children fight, it seems that it is a normal thing to happen in a big city, especially when the imperial capital is located.

Comparing the two, the weirdness revealed here is even more bizarre.

The people in the city don't seem to care that much about the changes outside, or there seems to be some kind of power that makes the people in the imperial capital not care about other places.

This is not only the case of Shengdou Xiaomin, even those officials seem to be the same. It seems that as long as there is no rebellion in the counties outside, they can still provide money, food and taxes as much as possible, and nothing seems to happen.

Everyone seems to be walking according to a certain rhythm, and they don't realize that the Chen Dynasty is gradually decaying and the building is about to collapse.

"I haven't seen any monks in this city."

Yang Chu wandered around the city of Luoyang, and seemed to have discovered a problem.

That is, he hardly saw any monks, and there were temples in the city, but no one went to offer incense.

Even the largest White Horse Temple in the city is deserted, with no one in sight.

But the people passing by turned a blind eye to these things, as if they thought it was normal.

Yang Chu also found people to block the way for questioning, but most of what these people said came from the palace a few years ago, that His Majesty did not like monks, Taoists and witches, and ordered them to ban and seize them all.

But if they wanted to ask more questions, these people seemed to have lost their memory, and they babbled a few words, unable to ask more content.

"It seems that we still have to go to the palace to see."

Yang Chu wandered around the city for a long time, occasionally opening his right eye with psionic power to observe various movements in the city, but there was nothing strange about what he saw.

His psychic right eye can see the trajectories of many energies running in his head, but in this establishment, he doesn't seem to notice too many abnormalities.

However, there is another place that Yang Chu has not visited since he entered the city a few days ago, and that is the imperial palace where the power center of the Chen Dynasty is located.

He had seen a group of ministers meeting and worshiping before, but at that time he didn't get close, but just watched from a distance.

But from what he has seen so far, he can almost be sure that the problem here has a high probability of appearing in the imperial city.

"If this is also magical power, then it is a power system that I have never touched before."

This awkward feeling made Yang Chu very curious and wanted to reveal the answer as soon as possible, but he was also a little wary.

It is similar to a large-scale group changing the state of human life and thought here, without leaving a trace, without a trace, that feeling is really subtle.

Yang Chu can be sure that the vast majority of people hardly notice anything wrong, as if in their consciousness, everything is as it should be.

But Yang Chu was able to discern that all the people he met looked normal, but in the deepest part, they were different.

Yang Chu walked all the way along the streets in Luoyang City, from Zhengpingfang in Nanshi to the west of Beishi, planning to see how different the imperial palace in this city is.

He didn't seem to be walking fast, but he often covered a distance of several feet in one step without the people around him noticing, and the speed was actually unbelievably fast.

If it wasn't for his deliberate appearance, it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice his arrival and departure.

"Oh, someone fell into the water."

When we came to the Wan'an Bridge on the bank of the Luoshui River that separated the North and South cities, suddenly, a voice of please sounded.

Yang Chu looked down from the side of the bridge, and saw a woman washing clothes by the side of the falling water, who seemed to stumble and fell into the nearby Luoshui.

The women walking along the shore looked rather panicked and shouted loudly to the left and right.

It's just that there are many people who stop and watch around, but there are almost no people who really take action.

Luoshui looks quite clear, but the water is still relatively deep. If ordinary people don't know how to swim, jumping in it is basically courting death.

In fact, Yang Chu didn't pay much attention to such things, but since he encountered them, he didn't hesitate too much.

Turning over, he quickly walked down from Wan'an Bridge, casually found a white gauze washed by those women, raised his hand and swung it, entangled the woman in the water, and dragged her to the shore.

His hand was quite casual, and he didn't use his spiritual power. It was just an ordinary means of exerting force, but in the eyes of others, the stretching hand shown this time was shocking enough.

In Luoyang City, there are quite a few people from the Jianghu.

Although Yang Chu had never seen any monks in the city, there were quite a few sergeants who knew martial arts or Jianghu warriors.

However, on the bank of Luoshui, many crowds of onlookers dispersed soon after the woman was rescued by Yang Chula.

"Thank you so much, my lord!"

After the woman was dragged ashore by Yang Chu, she seemed to be suffering from the cold, her teeth were chattering, and her face was pale, but she still tried her best to salute Yang Chu.

Yang Chu waved his hand lightly, his eyes swept across the wet water droplets on the woman's body, and suddenly he frowned slightly.

"If you dare to ask where the young master lives, the little girl will definitely ask her family to come to thank you." The woman pulled up by Yang Chu seemed to notice Yang Chu's gaze, and whispered again.

Several fellow washerwomen who surrounded the woman laughed and laughed after putting a piece of clothing on the woman who fell into the water.

It can be seen that the atmosphere of the Chen Dynasty is quite enlightened, and the women seem to be more daring.

Yang Chu didn't pay attention to the expressions of these women, but at this moment, his psionic right eye caught what he had been looking for from the woman who fell into the water.

Ignoring the women standing aside, Yang Chu slowly walked to the bank of Luoshui, stretched out his fingers to lightly touch the clear water in Luoshui, and then stood there silently.

Seeing that Yang Chu ignored them, those women washing clothes stopped for a while, including the woman rescued by Yang Chu, all of them turned and left.

"It seems that the water should be part of the reason."

Yang Chu was on the shore, reaching out to pick up his fingers in the water, the red light of Ling Neng's right eye flickered faintly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that there is no difference between those water sources, but in Yang Chu's eyes, these things are somewhat different.

"These things don't seem to be poisonous..."

Yang Chu looked at the water source stained with his fingers, and his spiritual right eye analyzed the Luoshui stained on his fingers step by step.

In Yang Chu's psychic right eye, the transparent water droplets stained by his fingers had a faint layer of extremely thin, almost hair-like whiteness.

This thing is very thin, it just disappears in the blink of an eye, and it doesn't exist at all.

With Yang Chu's current progress in spiritually transforming his body, eating has gradually become indifferent.

But after Yang Chu entered Luoyang City, he ate food and drank water, but he never noticed the strangeness and difference.

But after seeing the white gas in the water, Yang Chu felt that it was some kind of strange substance that he had never analyzed before.

In this world, he has seen all kinds of strange things and energies, such as the yin and ghost energy in ghosts, such as the wish power transformed by a person's thoughts and surprises, and the monster power accumulated in monsters...

Yang Chu can quickly analyze these different energy systems at a glance.

only—

He seemed to have come into contact with this white gas before, but he never noticed it when he was in it.

If it wasn't for the woman who fell into the water just now and was pulled up by him from the water, Yang Chu could sense the difference in the water droplets on the other party's body, and it was almost impossible to detect it.

"The white gas... seems to be overflowing little by little."

Yang Chu looked at the surface of Luoshui carefully after watching the hair-thin white air in the water droplets stained on his fingers dissipate.

Looking at it from the outside, there is still nothing unusual.

Even his psychic right eye couldn't see the clue for a while.

Yang Chu reached out his hand into the water again, and took it up again. This time, he could vaguely see the faint white air from the water drop.

"This white gas seems to be some kind of substance or energy..."

Yang Chu felt very strange about this kind of energy. He drove the spiritual energy, gradually wrapped the white air in it, and further analyzed the energy.

Soon, a slightly strange feeling came to Yang Chu's heart.

What Yang Chu felt was not the will contained in the white air, but that the whiteness was completely absorbed by his spiritual energy when his spiritual energy covered and analyzed it.

Compared with other strange monster powers and original powers, this white energy can be integrated into his psionic energy almost without transformation, which is a perfect fit.

Yang Chu suddenly raised his eyes to look at the void,

With the analysis and pursuit of the wisp of white air just now, what he sees with his psychic right eye seems to have gradually changed.

At this time, Luoyang, in Yang Chu's vision, gradually changed from the previous ordinary appearance to a very different one.

In Yang Chu’s eyes——

The whole Luoyang city suddenly became foggy.

The faint white air continuously overflowed from the people who walked by, from the buildings near and far, and from the imperial city in the far northwest, covering the entire Luoyang city.

"This... is luck?!"

Yang Chu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly murmured.
