Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals
Chapter 990 Capital
Beijing, a word that is full of down-to-earth and high-end.
Down-to-earth, because Jing Ye's work is hard and busy, because our old BJ's Ye is a Ye, all year round he does is work and eat, nothing else. Otherwise he would drink some bean juice, slurping it in circles.
The above is Zhou Li’s stereotype of the capital city and does not represent anyone else’s thoughts.
Of course, the source of this stereotype is also our beloved Internet. But in Daming, a place without Internet, the capital is still very popular, or it can be said that the capital is the only place in Daming that is well-known and is the place that everyone yearns for.
There is no other reason, there is dragon energy here.
This is not abstract, nor is it Zhou Li releasing his sense of humor that has nowhere to go. In the capital, dragons really exist, and dragon energy also really exists. Because of the dragon energy, the life span of the people in the capital is generally much higher than that of people in other places. The saying that people rarely live to seventy is not applicable at all in the capital. Because the master of the capital, he is the master.
The existence of dragon energy makes the capital city the "land of dragon chariots" in the eyes of others, but in contrast, the capital city is not very friendly to outsiders. First of all, if you want to enter the capital, you must apply to your own state or prefecture government, explaining why you want to enter the capital city and whether there is any necessary reason to enter the capital city.
At this time, if you say you are just traveling to admire the grandeur of the capital, then sorry, you will have to pay a sky-high "dragon tax". This dragon tax is usually around 100 taels of silver, which is extremely expensive, and you can't stay in the capital for more than three days.
If you do have a legitimate reason, such as returning to Beijing to report on your work, having to go because of business issues, or being introduced by an official, the government will issue you a Beijing Entry Permit. This document is very important. With a Beijing Entry Permit, you can legitimately enter the capital and stay there for half a year. During this half year, you cannot break the law, nor can you enter the third ring road of the capital. You can only stay in the outer city.
But what about the outer city? Although the dragon energy in the capital is gradually decreasing from the inside to the outside, it is a great blessing to be able to get it. You know, dragon energy can not only prolong life, cure diseases, but also slowly increase people's spiritual energy talents. You know, there are many ways to increase spiritual energy in this world, but there are only a few ways to enhance talents, and the cost is high. The dragon energy in the capital is good value for money in front of them.
Because of this, coupled with various preferential policies unique to the people of Beijing, such as meeting with the tax collector, not kneeling when meeting an official, stable food prices, etc., the people of Beijing are born noble, and the beggars in Beijing are born superior to the beggars from other places. Even beggars are richer than ordinary people in small villages.
Of course, these are all beautiful appearances.
Internal?
More fun.
Stable, without any danger. Because it is too close to the royal land, no one dares to kill innocent people. The prices of rice, flour, grain and oil are extremely stable. If there is a case in the capital, the Jinyiwei will be the first to arrest the bad guys at night. The public security is so good that Gui Daozi cried and the mountain god vomited.
What's so great about this?
"So how can one become a true Kyo-sama?"
Zhou Li couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Money, power, people, one of these three."
Zhu Qianyun sat cross-legged on the windowsill, stuffed the shelled melon seeds into Tang Wan's hand, and then said: "If you are rich enough, you can donate a sum of money to build the capital, and then buy a house in the capital, and then register to become a citizen of the capital. Or you can enter the capital after passing the imperial examination and stay in the capital to serve as an official, then you can stay in the capital. Finally, if one of your family members becomes a high-ranking official, at least above the fifth rank, you can move the whole family into the capital."
Hearing this, Yu Sui asked curiously, "Qianyun, are you from Beijing now?"
"Not counting."
Shaking his head, Zhu Qianyun said.
"what?"
Yu Sui was stunned. "You are not from the capital?"
"Ah."
Zhu Qianyun nodded and said with a smile: "I am from the Imperial City."
Hohoho, there are more noble ones.
"Actually, they're all the same."
Waving his hands, Zhu Qianyun said, "In fact, the capital is very boring, because it is close to the imperial city, many things are not allowed to be done, and spiritual practice must be done in designated places and cannot be done privately. Moreover, learning any magic must be reported in advance. If you accidentally reveal a magic that has not been reported, someone will hold you accountable. At the least, your property will be confiscated, and at the worst, you will be expelled from the capital."
"The Imperial City is even more boring."
Holding her cheek, Qian Yun sighed, "I should have entered Taoism through martial arts when I was 22 years old, but when I came to the Imperial City, my aunt said that girls should not always wield swords and knives, so she forced me to learn needlework for a whole year. Although my uncle stopped me from learning needlework after I nearly stabbed myself to death, it still delayed me for a whole year."
"There is very little entertainment in the imperial city. You can't go up the mountain to catch fire-winged birds, or play and fight with fish monsters. You are not allowed to cook and eat. You can only eat food made by the imperial chef. What's more, the food made by the imperial chef has to be sealed for a period of time and tested for poison. By the time you eat it, it's already cold."
With a long sigh, Zhu Qianyun said helplessly: "Apart from power, I really don't know what else in the imperial city can attract people."
"One right is enough."
Zhou Li said calmly: "Qianyun, think about it, if you were the emperor, tomorrow... no, tonight you could order Tang Wan to go to the QQQ space with you."
Zhu Qianyun was stunned, and then desire appeared in his eyes.
Hey your mom.
Tang Wan shuddered.
"It's time to eat."
At this moment, Tao Yao's voice also sounded from outside the room. Soon, Zhou Li's bedroom became a dining room after a series of changes. Zhou Li sat on a chair, looking at the table gradually rising from the floor, and fell silent.
Daxian Technology, isn’t it amazing?
Jiang Li's development of herself is still improving, even to a weird degree. You also can't understand why the villa created by Jiang Li can instantly switch places inside, and turn any room into an entertainment room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, etc. through flipping mirrors and two-way transmission.
There is even a martial arts studio.
But it doesn't matter, everyone is now more or less used to the Daxian technology, after all, this thing is really convenient and practical. After a remote discussion with Zhuge Qing, Jiang Li's external area has been equipped with four all-round high-definition sky eye image stones, reversing images, left and right vehicles, and intelligent driving.
How is this done, you ask?
The power of my thinking.JPG
Taoyao was already very good at cooking in Jiang Li's villa. The temperature of the stove could be adjusted with a precision of five decimal places. No grease would exist for even a second. The dishwasher could disassemble the dishes and re-create them without leaving any single cell. If she wanted a pot, she could reach out and it would be there. If she wanted salt, it would be there immediately.
What Zenith Technology.
At the dinner table, Zhou Li picked up some food and asked, "Master, how far are we from the capital?"
"About three hundred miles."
Jiang Li thought for a moment and asked, "Do we need to increase the speed?"
"Don't."
At this time, Zhu Qianyun advised from the side: "There is a speed limit formation a hundred miles away from the capital. If we rush over forcefully, we will be easily frozen."
"Don't worry about that."
Jiang Li smiled faintly, "There is no formation in this world that can trap me yet."
"What if I use the Great Impotence Array to trap Zhou Li now?"
Tang Wan asked wisely.
Jiang Li was immediately stumped by this. Oh, yes, I also have a battery named Zhou Li.
Tang Wan's idea was just an idea, but she was thankful that there was a pair of Zhou Li's treasures, Tao Yao, on the dinner table, otherwise Zhou Li would have jumped up and kicked a football at her.
Three hundred miles was a long distance in ancient times, and the words "exhausted by long journey" were never a joke.
Do you think Daxian Technology is a joke?!
An hour later, looking at the observatory towering into the clouds not far away, Zhou Li nodded.
Well, that makes sense.
Without any vibration or bumps, it took only one hour to cover a straight-line distance of 300 miles, and even skipped over two mountains.
Great Immortal, you are so powerful.
"I'll change my posture next."
After sensing the dragon energy that was inadvertently leaking out of the capital, the villa began to transform immediately. A moment later, a pure black luxury carriage appeared on the official road. The carriage had luxurious decorations, but it did not look luxurious, giving people a sense of grandeur and elegance.
The horse pulling the carriage was a pure white horse that looked like a snow sculpture. Of course, this was not Jiang Li, but a clone of Jiang Li. It did not exist to pull the carriage, because there was a Daxian engine system under the carriage, and all six wheels were driven by it.
As for this horse...
"decorate."
Pretending to be a woman driving a carriage, Jiang Li put on a bamboo hat and said calmly, "Otherwise it will easily scare others."
Zhou Li felt that Jiang Li was enjoying role-playing very much now.
"Your clothes..."
Zhou Li looked at the "coachman" who was wearing a white dress as white as snow and a green vine hat with cloud beads hanging on it, and looked like a reincarnated immortal. He said tactfully, "He has nothing to do with driving a carriage."
“That’s a very euphemistic way of putting it.”
Jiang Li nodded and changed into a set of Qingshui skirt with a wave of his hand. He also changed his head into a green straw hat, which looked a bit playful. "How is it?"
"So be it."
Zhou Li sighed, not knowing what to say. Anyway, strong people always have some personal hobbies, so there was nothing he could say.
Liu Gong’s hobby is still aphrodisiac.
Although he never got stronger afterwards.
The walls of Beijing are different from those of other cities. As the capital of a country, the walls of Beijing are not made of simple blue bricks. From a distance, Beijing is the only city with "white gold" walls. In the sun, the grandeur of the white gold walls that have never been seen before makes people feel inexplicably oppressive.
As the outer edge of the capital, this city wall made of mithril and white strong bricks has extremely high resistance to spiritual energy and immortal energy. Most spiritual or immortal arts cannot cause any damage to this city wall.
At the same time, 130 arrow towers were set up in the U-shaped city wall. The soldiers on the arrow towers had eyes like torches, and the formations and talismans arranged around them were constantly transmitting various data. On the road, anyone with spiritual energy in their body approaching the capital would be detected at the first time.
Zhou Li and his friends were no exception.
When Zhou Li was about fifty miles from the capital, he felt the spying from the capital. But he didn't care, because this spying was harmless, and he just stopped after confirming the existence of Zhou Li and his group. It was not until fifteen miles from the capital that a pass appeared in front of Zhou Li and his group.
This pass was composed of two cavalrymen and two infantrymen. They stood on both sides of the road. After seeing Zhou Li, the leading cavalryman stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and stopped the carriage.
"Order to enter the capital, pass order."
The "entry order" is the unified name for the certificate required to enter the capital. The "pass order" means that if you drive a carriage or horse into the capital, you need to apply for a pass, otherwise it will be considered illegal driving.
Does Zhou Li have that?
He has nothing.
"promise."
He simply threw the gold medal bestowed by the emperor on his waist over.
The leader took the gold medal subconsciously and took a look at it. When he sensed the dragon and tiger energy in the gold medal, his expression suddenly became serious. He immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to Zhou Li and others, half-knelt on one knee to salute, and said respectfully:
"See my lord."
"Can we come in?"
Zhou Li asked.
"No."
However, what no one expected was that even after receiving the gold medal, the soldier chose to refuse it. "The imperial gold medal has no effect on travel. Please show me other credentials. Otherwise, I can only ask you to register with the garrison."
Zhou Li scratched his head and asked, "Are you the prime minister's man?"
Obviously, Zhou Li's blunt words stunned the soldier. He didn't expect Zhou Li to say such a thing directly. But he reacted quickly, lowered his head and said:
"I am a garrison officer in the capital city, and I will obey the orders of the general who guards the capital."
"Oh~"
Zhou Li suddenly realized, and then he asked curiously: "Who is your general guarding the capital?"
"Li Changming, General Li."
The soldier said with his head down.
"Oh, so your General Li is the Prime Minister's dog."
Zhou Li glanced at the other person nonchalantly, not intending to embarrass him, and just said, "And he is the most incompetent dog."
When the soldier heard his master being insulted, he immediately raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a pair of eyes that were filled with extreme indifference and ridicule.
"Otherwise, why would you become the first batch of cannon fodder after I entered Beijing?"
Zhou Li got off the carriage, stretched out his foot, gently pressed against the soldier's chest, and spoke softly and indifferently, "Even Princess Yuli refused to tell you in this carriage. It seems that your general doesn't want you to die knowingly."
The soldier who was kicked away realized something instantly. His pupils shrank immediately, and he stood up quickly and said to Zhou Li solemnly:
"We have offended the princess, and we deserve death. We can only apologize by killing ourselves!"
After the words fell, the soldier and the other three simultaneously drew their daggers and stabbed themselves directly into the heart. In an instant, blood spread on the ground, leaving only four bodies.
Without any hesitation. (End of this chapter)
