Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

If it were in the past, Dugu Feng would naturally be the undisputed number one. Although Shan Wanjing had good talent, she was only exposed to the inheritance of the Dongming School and some martial arts created by Shan Meixian, which was difficult to compare with the martial arts inheritance of the Dugu family.

In addition, he did not have the same enthusiasm and obsession for martial arts as Dugu Feng, so in terms of martial arts attainments, he was naturally inferior to the other party.

The reason why they are now at the same level is that he has spent a long time in Daqian's school over the past year, and has acquired many superior skills and the inheritance of the [Small Zhoutian Gong]. His martial arts skills have improved rapidly, and are not inferior to Dugu Feng, and can be called the best in the world.

If Dugu Feng had not received some instruction and guidance from Shi Feixuan in the past month, he would have been surpassed.

Apart from the two of them, Shang Xiuxun's martial arts skills are second, followed by Song Yuhua and Song Yuzhi, and Shang Xiufang is last.

There is no need to say much about Shang Xiuxun. Pegasus Ranch is the number one horse ranch in the Sui Dynasty after all. Being able to hold on to this foundation that is coveted by the imperial court, aristocratic families, and clans shows that it has a solid foundation and is not too bad in martial arts inheritance. In addition, there is a top-notch all-rounder in the world, Lu Miaozi, in Pegasus Ranch. He has hidden his martial arts inheritance in various places on the ranch. Although Shang Xiuxun has a bad relationship with him, he has unknowingly inherited a lot of it. In terms of martial arts, he can barely be called first-class.

However, Song Yuhua and Song Yuzhi's martial arts are similar.

Although they came from a family background in martial arts, Song Yuhua had not shown much interest in it before, so she had not practiced much and her foundation was not deep. Song Yuzhi had a slightly better talent, but on the one hand, she was young and had only been exposed to martial arts for a short time, and on the other hand, she was lively and active and could not bear to practice martial arts. It was only after they became disciples of Shi Feixuan that they received systematic martial arts instruction. However, as I said before, the time was too short, and they were currently in the stage of laying a solid foundation. They could barely make it with their internal strength, but their martial arts attainments were mediocre.

As for the last one, Shang Xiufang, she doesn't know any martial arts at all and has no martial arts foundation at all, so she is naturally the last one without a doubt.

However, for her, Shi Feixuan found teaching easy and smooth.

After all...a blank sheet of paper is good for painting.

The other girls each have their own heritage and foundation, so they require more care.

Because Shi Feixuan's teaching and guidance to the six people were all tailored to their aptitude.

It's not the kind of thing where you just teach a certain martial art and then leave it alone.

Among them, Dugu Feng, Shan Wanjing and others were okay, but the talent displayed by Shang Xiufang really surprised Shi Feixuan.

"Is this internal force? It's truly miraculous!" Shang Xiufang followed the instructions, closing her eyes slightly to sense it, a look of joy on her face. "It does have some similarities to music."

As she spoke, she opened her eyes, stood up, took out the guqin and played a tune softly.

Everyone looked at them sideways with strange expressions.

During this period, this master Shang also displayed his talents. His ethereal voice and wonderful music made everyone deeply impressed and almost ecstatic. It can be said to be a model of lingering sound.

It should be noted that those present were not shallow-minded people. Each of them either had a family background or a strong background, and they were not unfamiliar with singing, dancing and music. However, to be able to perform to the level of Shang Xiufang was unprecedented and unheard of. There was no one like her, and it could even be said that there were very few such people in ancient and modern times.

Seeing her playing the guqin, although we were a little confused, we were all looking forward to it. However, after listening to it for a while, we couldn't help but be surprised.

The melody and tone are really too weird and strange, and most importantly, it can hardly be called pleasant to listen to.

It wouldn't be a big deal if it happened to other people, but it was really strange when it happened to Shang Xiufang.

Only Shi Feixuan, after listening for a moment, suddenly understood, and then was somewhat moved. She sighed and said, "Xiufang's skills are close to the Tao. She can actually integrate the method of internal force with music. Such talent is truly extraordinary!"

Dugu Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then his expression changed color.

After carefully feeling it, he suddenly found that his internal energy was rising and falling with the rhythm of the other party's playing. Although it was subtle and not obvious, he had to remember that the other party had just started to learn the method of internal energy. If his internal energy was more profound and he could perfect this exquisite method of combining music and internal energy, what kind of scene would it be!?

There are examples of using music to hurt people in the martial arts world, and there are martial arts involving music, but they are difficult to learn and master, and there are many restrictions. For someone like the other party, who has just been exposed to it, to be able to understand this profound and wonderful use without a teacher, his talent is really terrifying.

Others also reacted and were all amazed.

Shang Xiufang, however, was not arrogant. She smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, one learns by analogy. Xiufang has some attainments in the art of music, so perhaps she is able to do this?"

Having said this, he pondered for a while and then continued to play. This time it was much more pleasant to the ear, and the subtle effect of attracting internal energy was more obvious.

Shi Feixuan was amazed when she saw this.

I thought to myself, no wonder she is known as the most talented woman in the world, her talent is truly extraordinary!

Because of this incident, everyone admired and respected Shang Xiufang even more.

Shi Feixuan also began to think again about how to teach him martial arts that would be more suitable for him and match his talents.

Time flies and a month has passed quickly.

The Dongming ship finally reached the inland of Daqian and gradually approached the port.

Didn't stay here long.

After transferring the river boat, they continued their voyage.

It should be noted that sailing on the sea is different from sailing on the rivers.

Seagoing ships are too large. Except for a few sections of the river that are navigable, most of the water depth is not enough to support the passage of seagoing ships. In addition, there are restrictions such as bridges and locks, so when they arrive on the river, they can only change ships for transportation.

However, even for transshipment, Dongming's ships were still used.

Dongming not only has top-notch sea-going vessel technology, but also has comparable river-going vessel technology.

This went on for several more days.

Finally reached shore again.

Song Yuzhi looked at the distant scenery with sparkling eyes, and Song Yuhua, Dugu Feng, Shang Xiuxun and others beside him were also very surprised.

Shan Meixian was talking with Shi Feixuan here.

"Fairy, do you have a place to go on this trip? I do have a house in this city. If you don't mind, why not stay there temporarily and rest for a while?"

Shi Feixuan shook her head slightly: "Madam, your intention is good, and I appreciate it, but there is no need to trouble you."

After hearing this, Shan Meixian no longer insisted, but just smiled and exchanged a few words.

After a while, the port was cordoned off and everyone got off the boat.

Shi Feixuan said goodbye to Shan Meixian and the others, and then, under the protection of the Nine Heavens' elite guards, she took Song Yuzhi, Song Yuhua, and Dugu Feng, got into the carriage that had been arranged long ago, and gradually drove away.

Shan Meixian looked at it from afar for a while, and said to herself, "As expected."

The level of guards and the scale of the trip are simply not something that ordinary people can have.

In Daqian, only the important people in the palace could appear.

It seems that the identity of this fairy master is indeed as she guessed...

After regaining his composure, he glanced at Shan Wanjing and sighed, "After this separation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see your master again."

"Ah?" Shan Wanjing was stunned and a little surprised: "Why is this?"

Shang Xiuxun and Shang Xiufang also looked over.

Shan Meixian was reluctant to say more about this, as she had to be more cautious. She simply said, "She is of noble status and is extraordinary."

It’s not easy to meet him.

After hearing this, the three of them were silent, as if thinking about something.

the other side.

The interior of the carriage was extremely gorgeous and filled with a faint fragrance.

The four of them sat upright in silence.

Song Yuzhi, who is usually the most lively, was silent at this time.

Shi Feixuan smiled when she saw this, and she could understand their anxiety and uneasiness.

but......

"You don't need to be nervous, there's still some distance to go."

Dugu Feng hesitated and asked, "Isn't it not far from here to Jinling City?"

Song Yuhua also said: "I heard Wanjing say that it will arrive in one day at the earliest."

Shi Feixuan nodded: "Indeed, but we are not going to Jinling."

"?"

The three of them looked at Shi Feixuan in confusion, somewhat bewildered.

Shi Feixuan explained softly, "Jinling right now is just the secondary capital of Daqian. The place we are going to is Chang'an."

By March of the fifth year of the Daqian reign, the new capital had been expanded and renovated, and the process of moving the capital began.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and the central government has successfully moved the capital north.

The center of the world has shifted here!

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 650: The Reason for Choosing Chang'an as the Capital! The Journey! The Joy of Reunion!

Speaking of which, Chang'an is actually still too far south compared to the vast territory of Daqian, especially at the moment when the territory is expanding and the territory is expanding!

but......

The setting of the capital city cannot simply be considered based on the north-south direction of the place, but also requires comprehensive consideration of the geographical environment, population density, and other factors.

It is too far to the north, the area is vast and the population is sparse, so it is not suitable to be the capital.

After careful consideration, Chang'an was chosen as the next political center.

Firstly, this place is the ancient capital of many dynasties and has a profound cultural heritage. Secondly, it is a densely populated area and the main area where the people of the Xia Dynasty live. Now that the road system is gradually connected, it is not much worse than Jinling, and it has more advantages in connecting the north and the south.

As for annexing the countries in the Western Regions and the territory of the Sui Dynasty, there is no need to consider it for the time being because the distance spanned by Daqian from east to west is even more terrifying and both Jinling and Chang'an are too far to the east.

Because we can't just look at the location. If we want to set an absolute geographical center, the capital will have to be placed in the vast desert. It is naturally impossible to build the capital here.

Just take care of both places.

Once the Sui Dynasty is completely stabilized, the administration of the secondary capital will also be established.

The future Daqian will definitely be a model where the capital city and multiple secondary capitals coexist.

Inside the carriage, everyone was amazed and relieved after hearing Shi Feixuan's explanation.

Song Yuzhi gradually let go of her nervousness, her expression filled with excitement and joy: "So, we can have a good time along the way?"

Dugu Feng pondered, "If our destination is Chang'an, wouldn't it be faster to take the water route?"

Song Yuzhi's face puffed up slightly. "What does it matter if it's faster or slower? I think it's better to go by land. We've been at sea for a month and on the river for several days. It would be so boring to continue traveling by boat. Haven't you had enough?"

The scenery on the sea was quite fresh at first, but after seeing it so many times, it soon became boring.

The same is true on rivers.

If it weren't for Shi Feixuan's daily lessons and martial arts training, and Shang Xiufang's occasional display of talents to soothe her mood, she would have almost suffocated.

Naturally, they were unwilling to continue traveling by water.

Song Yuhua listened, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, agreeing: "What Yuzhi said makes sense, and Master's arrangement is definitely more appropriate."

Shi Feixuan smiled and said softly, "Daqian has built roads, especially between the prefectures and cities. They are all connected by highways and official roads. It is more convenient to travel by land to Chang'an."

If they travel by water, they have to consider the issues of upstream and downstream. For so many people, it is faster to travel by land.

And...

"It's really boring to stay on the boat for so long. Traveling overland allows me to see the local customs and prosperous scenery. It's the best of both worlds."

Song Yuzhi was delighted when he heard this: "Master is really thoughtful!"

As he said this, he glanced at Dugu Feng with some complacency.

Dugu Feng smiled slightly, not paying attention to Song Yuzhi's little action, and was looking forward to the journey ahead.

The carriage passed by and gradually went away.

Another month passed, and when we arrived in Chang'an City, it was already the beginning of February in the sixth year of Daqian.

In fact, if the road is perfect, it won’t take so long.

But because they would play and sightsee in every place they went, and it was the New Year period, and everywhere was decorated with lights and celebrating the New Year, it was very lively, and this scene made everyone even more excited.

Shi Feixuan is no exception.

When she left, it was July of the fourth year of Daqian. It has been more than a year and a half now. She is also very curious about the changes under Daqian's rule.

So even though she was eager to go home, she suppressed her emotions.

After all, it would be difficult to come out again after returning to the palace.

It would be better to take this opportunity to take a good look.

It's not just her, the same goes for the three girls including Song Yuzhi.

Shi Feixuan took into consideration that they had just arrived and had not yet experienced the magnificence of Daqian's mountains and rivers and the prosperity of its people, so it would be a pity if they entered the palace. Therefore, she intended to take them to see more.

But later on, Shi Feixuan couldn't help but speed up.
