Chapter 390: Going to Jingtian
Chapter 390: Going to Jingtian (Part )
Zhang Yuan rode his horse up the high slope along the long mountain path.
The rolling mountains were just left behind him, and a vast plain appeared in front of him.
There are crisscrossing fields and villages everywhere, and large tracts of farmland are covered with golden rice, a scene of a good harvest.
In the distance, a towering city came into Zhang Yuan's sight.
Xishuo City!
Zhang Yuan's gaze swept across the city and looked towards the towering mountains in the distance.
His intuition told him that that was where Shang Jingtian was!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yuan shook the reins, and the horse under him neighed and spread its hooves, kicking up a cloud of dust and quickly rushing down the hillside, heading straight for Xishuo City.
After leaving the mountains, the road suddenly became wide and flat, and pedestrians could be seen everywhere.
After running for half an hour, Zhang Yuan arrived in front of the city gate.
He looked up and saw two powerful characters "Xi Shuo" on the tall city wall, which were particularly eye-catching.
Xishuo City is located in the northwestern border of Daqian.
But because this city is located on the only way to the Western Regions, it has been prosperous and populous since ancient times.
On the way here, Zhang Yuan also learned about the situation in Xishuo City.
His first impression of the city was that it had a very strong business atmosphere, with an open-air market outside the city stretching for miles and countless shops in the city.
The streets and alleys were bustling with people, camel caravans and horse caravans loaded with goods were moving forward, and the sound of bronze bells was endless.
Zhang Yuan saw many people from the Western Regions wearing turbans. Most of them had high noses and deep eyes, and wore gold and jade as merchants. The guards around them were strong and sturdy, with curved swords on their waists and proud looks.
Perhaps because it is located in a border area, the local people of Daqian in the city have a hint of Western style in their dress and temperament.
The collision and fusion of different civilizations is particularly obvious here.
Zhang Yuan led his mount into the city, sightseeing along the way, and finally chose an inn to stay the night.
What was surprising was that there was a bathhouse in the inn, so Zhang Yuan was able to take a nice hot bath and wash away the dust from thousands of miles of travel.
I feel like I have lost a few pounds.
After taking a shower and changing into a clean and tidy autumn outfit, Zhang Yuan went to a nearby restaurant and ordered a table of delicious food.
I rewarded my stomach with a big treat.
It is said that the roasted whole lamb in Xishuo City is particularly famous. Zhang Yuan had heard people in the caravan talking about it on the road.
So he specifically ordered half a lamb.
It really lives up to its reputation!
After eating and drinking to his heart's content and relaxing his body and mind, Zhang Yuan was not in a hurry to go to Shang Jingtian.
Over the next two days, he wandered around this important northwestern border town and experienced the local customs and culture.
What Zhang Yuan felt most deeply was undoubtedly the hot and bold beauties from the Western Regions!
But he was practicing the Qianyang technique.
While having fun, Zhang Yuan did not forget to take a batch of gold and silver stored in the storage space to the local branch of Fu Ji Money House and exchange them for gold and silver notes.
Even though he invested source material at all costs to upgrade the sixth parasite, the golden-haired rat, to the third level, the storage space it brought was only twenty-seven cubic meters, and most of the volume was occupied by the gold and silver salvaged from the shipwreck.
Now that we have replaced them with gold and silver notes, these precious spaces have been freed up again!
After staying in Xishuo City for three days, Zhang Yuan set off again.
He traveled lightly and rode fast to the east, entering the mountains.
In the box that Huizhi gave to Zhang Yuan, in addition to the token, letter and gold note, there was also a map.
With the guidance of this map, he didn't need to worry about getting to the wrong place.
The mountain road here was much better than the one Zhang Yuan had taken with the caravan before. This road, which was big enough to accommodate two carriages running side by side, was paved with long and wide bluestone strips, and went deep into the mountains along the terrain, with no end in sight.
These hard and thick stone slabs have gone through countless years, been stepped on by countless people, trampled by horse hooves, and crushed by wheels, but they are not damaged or broken much.
It is hard to imagine how much manpower and resources were spent on its construction and maintenance over the years.
This mountain path allowed Zhang Yuan to gain a preliminary understanding of Shang Jingtian's extremely profound heritage!
After running for twenty or thirty miles on the mountain road, a large rock appeared on the roadside ahead.
A stepping stone!
The words engraved on it clearly told Zhang Yuan the rules of the mountain gate.
Zhang Yuan had no intention of challenging the rules, so he got off the horse and continued forward.
Soon, a tall and solemn stone archway appeared in his sight.
Shangqing Jingyang Cave Heaven.
Six large characters written in a flamboyant style are clearly visible!
"He who comes is stopped!"
At this moment, a young Taoist with a long sword on his back appeared under the stone archway and said condescendingly: "Mortals are not allowed to enter Shangqing Jingyang Cave Heaven. Leave quickly!"
No mortals allowed to enter?
Zhang Yuan’s brain CPU almost burned out.
It is true that Shangjingtian is a holy place of Taoism, but are all the Taoist warriors who practice there immortals?
Even if you are a heavenly master, you dare not say that you are a god!
He calmly took out the dragon-patterned token from his bosom and said in a deep voice, "Zhang Yuan, the guardian general of the Xiaxu Heavenly King Palace, has come to Shangjingtian to practice today. I hope fellow Taoists will know this!"
"what?"
The young Taoist guarding the stone archway was stunned: "You actually have the Shangqing Reception Order, and you are from Xiaxu?"
The young Taoist knew Xia Xu.
But this name is too far away for him.
Zhang Yuan nodded: "That's right."
The young Taoist rolled his eyes, and immediately stepped down the stairs and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yuan: "Let me take a closer look at the token. I need to verify its authenticity."
Zhang Yuan glanced at the other party, smiled and took back the dragon token: "Sorry."
Someone had previously tried to take the dragon token from him under the pretext of an inspection.
This made Zhang Yuan realize the importance of this so-called Shangqing Reception Order!
And now, the hint of covetousness hidden in the eyes of the person in front of him also did not escape his observation.
How could Zhang Yuan hand it over so easily!
You have to know that this is the certificate for entering Jingtian to practice, and his name is not engraved on it. If someone takes it and he doesn't acknowledge it, wouldn't he be at a great loss for nothing?
Seeing Zhang Yuan's refusal, the young Taoist suddenly frowned: "What do you mean?"
Zhang Yuan replied calmly: "I don't think you are qualified to make the assessment."
The young Taoist's face flushed red: "How dare you!"
He shouted angrily, "What kind of guardian general of the Heavenly King Palace? In our Shangjingtian, guys like you are not even qualified to sweep the floor. If you don't want to hand over the token, then get lost!"
"really?"
Just as the young Taoist finished speaking and Zhang Yuan hadn't responded yet, a pleasant voice suddenly came: "The guardian gods are not qualified to sweep the floor in our Shangjingtian? Then I have to go back and ask Master."
