Dragon Gate Swordsman

The former had his eyes slightly narrowed, and his originally beautiful and delicate face now had a faint sense of majesty without even being angry, while the latter was so surprised that he was completely unable to react.

The name Simuitai also made Chongxiao raise his eyebrows and secretly feel surprised.

After spending so much time reading materials in Longmen, even though most of them were just casual mentions, he knew that Simuitai was a government department of Dayan. However, no one knew what its specific work content was, and there were only some rumors claiming that it was related to ancient myths and legends.

This has led to many civilians complaining about the Si Sui Tai, thinking that they do nothing and are just collecting salaries for nothing. Some even think that the department should be reported to the government and abolished.

As for the reason why Chongxiao frowned, it was not because of this guy's attitude or his understanding of Simuitai, but because he was worried that Mo Li and Guo Shan, who he had a good impression of, would "go along with him" and become such a jerk who looked down on others.

Well...his arrogance must be suppressed.

"What are you so proud of, you bastard?"

"What did you say?"

Chongxiao did not lower his voice deliberately, but Tiancan was still stunned... He probably did not expect the other party to be so bold.

"I say, what are you so proud of? Si Sui Tai, Si Sui Tai, you are paid by the state but do nothing all day long. You are openly eating empty salaries and you actually say it out loud? Do you have any shame?"

Si Sui Tai, doing nothing, just drawing a salary...

After a brief silence, Mo Li suddenly covered his stomach and laughed wildly. The sound was like a silver bell and was extremely pleasant to the ears, attracting the attention of many people in the station.

Tiancan, who was "ridiculed", had a slightly skinny face that turned purple. His expression was more like grief than anger, and his clenched fists were shaking violently. It looked like he would have rushed up to fight Chongxiao for his life if Guo Shan hadn't rushed over to hold him.

"Chongxiao, you...you are really...so talented!"

Mo Li still couldn't stop laughing, walked up to him and patted his shoulder fiercely, "Si Sui Tai... drawing a salary for nothing... Hahahahahaha!!!"

Chongxiao felt like something was wrong and wanted to say, "Master, stop laughing and tell me what's going on first." But after noticing that a certain part of Mo Li's body was shaking slightly with his laughter, he quickly gave up the idea.

Beauty is a feast to the eyes, it would be a shame not to look at it.

Under Guo Shan's persuasion, Tiancan finally did not lose his temper. After glaring at Chongxiao fiercely, he strode out of the station.

Judging from his movements, he is a rare martial arts master... How did he end up in an institution like Simuitai where people just want to get by?

"Brother Chongxiao, your remarks are really...really..."

"That's a very accurate statement, right? I know. That's why I don't understand how he has the nerve to reveal his identity directly. Is he thinking that no one is scolding him? Boss Guo, you better not get involved with him..."

Guo Shan's fat face was about to turn the color of liver, and Mo Li, who had just stopped laughing, immediately covered her mouth, as if she was about to hold back her laughter again.

"Ahem...you should hurry up and buy your ticket. I'll wait for you at the caravan yard."

After saying that, Guo Shan trotted out of the station hall, as if he was afraid that someone would call him.

In this way, only Mo Li and Chong Xiao were left here.

"Master, what happened to Boss Guo?"

"Maybe it's diarrhea, who cares."

Mo Li finally let go of her belly, which she had been holding. "But you, kid, really opened my eyes... For so many years, except for my fourth brother who had said this to Si Suitai a long time ago, I really hadn't..."

For some reason, she suddenly stopped and her expression became strange.

It seems that the "Fourth Brother" must have had an accident, but I don't know if he is still alive.

For the master's mood, quickly change the subject!

"By the way, Master Mo Li, the method you taught me last time is really useful!"

"…What did I teach you?"

Mo Li was a little confused.

Although the project of "The Legend of Shang Shu Swordsman" has been approved and the crew is being established, if filming is to begin, it will have to wait until "The Legend of Huizhen" is completely completed. Therefore, Chongxiao, who has been working hard during this period, has not met Mo Li and only discussed the plot details through a few phone calls.

Besides, Chongxiao actually considered whether to give her a weapon, but Mo Li himself is the most professional forging master, how could he possibly be interested in his stuff...

"It's the method of controlling flames to create weapons. Although it may be a little different, the finished product is still very effective."

"Finished product? Wait a minute! Speak clearly, what finished product? Have you made something that can be used?"

Chongxiao nodded as a matter of course, which surprised Mo Li greatly.

Seeing this, he simply took out the Rebellion from the huge mountaineering bag on his back and handed it to Mo Li, "This is one of them. Master, can you give me some guidance?"

Even though Chongxiao often carried this sword with him on missions, he rarely had the chance to actually use it... Few criminals could withstand his fists, and if he used it, he would be limited by its lethality, so it would be better to chop things more often...

Ever since Mo Li took over Rebellion, the shocked expression on his face has never disappeared.

She couldn't see through the sword's shape, casting material, hidden power, and profound feeling.

It's as if... it's not a product of this world at all.

"You just said... this is one of them?"

"Yes, but I don't know why. I can only make swords. Hammers, axes, and halberds are all useless."

Mo Li deliberately emphasized the word "among them" and received an affirmative answer.

This time, she was completely dumbfounded.

Although I am not completely sure, this greatsword called Rebellion, even I cannot... make it.

And from what Chongxiao said, he also created it out of thin air? Then why was the scope limited to sword-like weapons?

"Master? Master?"

"Hmm? Uh... I give it back to you."

Mo Li handed Rebellion back, his seemingly relaxed expression revealing a hint of complexity.

The ability to create magical weapons out of thin air was originally the basis of her life, but now it appeared in another person, and his origin was so mysterious...

Chongxiao, who are you...?

"Won't you give me some comments, Master?"

"Even if it's me, I don't have the ability to see through the characteristics of a weapon at a glance. I'm not a god."

Mo Li decided to end the topic, "By the way, the post-production of "Legend of Huizhen" is almost done. Our movie is tentatively scheduled to start shooting in February next year. Remember to attend the opening ceremony then."

"Go if you have time. Has the male lead been decided?"

"It's settled. Miss Qiu Keyan is very interested in your script and has contacted Xiao Tang. If it's her, there will definitely be no problem."

Of course there is no problem. Longmen’s big star Qiu Keyan herself started out as a female martial arts actress, and her heroic temperament is more androgynous, so she has no problem playing male or female roles. Chongxiao understands this.

With this kind of box office guarantee, even if "The Legend of Swordsman Shang Shu" fails to become a hit, it will definitely make a lot of money.

I hope that by then you can turn things around and stop being treated like a plague by the people in the film companies...

Naturally, the moment this thought appeared in his mind, Mo Li's flaming tail swept over again.

"You're thinking about something rude again."

"No! Absolutely not!"

"Humph……"

Mo Li snorted coldly, but then said something that stunned Chong Xiao, "By the way, my real name... is just 'Nian'. Don't call me Mo Li anymore."

Chapter 38: It is difficult to enter the capital, so take some time to meet friends

From Shenxia Pass in the Taihua Mountains, to Yinyang City, the granary with thousands of miles of fertile fields in the western part of Dayan, then to Biyou, a mobile city that travels back and forth along the Tongtian River, and then take a boat downstream to the Longxi Plain where the capital of the gods is located.

By the time the magnificent giant city walls of the Divine Capital came into view, the journey had already lasted twelve days, almost twice as long as Chongxiao had expected.

Of course, this is not the fastest route from Longmen to Shendu, but Guo Shan’s caravan needs to go to various mobile cities for supplies and purchases. In addition, it seems that there is also some intention of traveling to relax.

At least Chongxiao saw the famous beautiful scenery of Dayan, such as the "vast land reflecting the sun" of Yinyang City, the "Nine-sky Milky Way" of Bigu City, and the "water and sky are one color" of Tongtian River, so he no longer felt annoyed by the long journey.

When Guo Shan's merchant caravan drove down from the ship and stopped at the extremely wide square in Yushi Harbor, the vaguely visible walls of the Divine Capital were as majestic and magnificent as the legendary heavenly palace, making people want to bow down in worship.

"Boss Guo, why do I feel..."

"To be honest, Brother Chongxiao, everyone who comes to the Capital of Gods for the first time will ask this question."

Guo Shan chuckled and explained to him.

The divine capital of Dayan is not a mobile city, but a huge city that is truly rooted in this land.

If we trace the origin, this matter probably started when the True Dragon Emperor led the elite of Great Yan and wiped out all the giant beasts in the territory...

After defeating the strongest beast "Sui", even though there were heavy losses, the confidence of everyone in Da Yan, from the emperor to the common people, was unprecedentedly high. They believed that if they could defeat a nearly invincible beast, then a mere natural disaster would naturally be no problem.

Therefore, from then on, the True Dragon Dynasty had the idea of ​​resisting natural disasters head-on.

The current capital of the gods was first built in the 403rd year of the Terra calendar. The site was selected by the st True Dragon Emperor himself and it took more than ten years to build. It has never moved since then.

Because of the belief that man can conquer nature, every time the capital of God encounters a large-scale natural disaster, countless fearless heroes will step forward to defend the city at the cost of their lives. At the same time, the protective city walls and the ultimate product of Originium technology, the Panlong Formation, are also constantly being strengthened and developed.

Relying on them, today when mobile cities are popular, the capital of God can easily resist incoming natural disasters, and a large number of villages and towns have appeared in nearby areas.

Many Victorians who have visited the Great Yanshen Capital call it the "Land of the Blessed", which means "the land blessed by the gods" (Note)

But if you look beyond the apparent beauty and carefully study the history of the Divine Capital, you will find that even the least threatening natural disaster, the Tongtian River flood, has caused immeasurable losses of manpower and property to Dayan... I'm afraid only the real gods can judge the right and wrong in this matter.

"So that's it..."

Listening to Guo Shan's endless chatter, Chongxiao couldn't help but sigh.

He still remembered his visit to Londinium half a year ago, where the superficial prosperity also concealed the corruption of the ruling class. Although the people could not be said to be full of complaints, they had generally lost their confidence and spirit.

In Da Yan, the people were united and fought bravely, but they could not escape the painful price they paid for fighting the natural disaster. In order to protect the capital, this situation will continue...

Who can live better than who?

All living beings suffer...

"What do the gods rely on to resist natural disasters now? Storms and the like are fine, but meteorites and rain of fire..."

"The capital of the gods has Dao Zun, one of the three great masters, in charge. Ordinary natural disasters cannot do anything to him. Besides, the great masters of the capital of the gods will not sit idly by."

The three great masters of Dayan, Daozun, Sword Saint, and Wu Zhenren… Daozun can be ranked at the front, his status and strength are naturally unquestionable, plus he is at least five hundred years old, and sitting in the Divine Capital is tantamount to the stabilizing force of Dayan.

As for the other two, the Sword Saint was indifferent to fame and fortune and traveled around. Basically, few people knew his identity and appearance, and where he went. Master Wu had been helping to resist the invasion of various evil beasts in the Yumen Fortress in the northern border for more than a hundred years.

"By the way, Brother Chongxiao, we have to wait for the approval procedures from above before we can go in. It will probably take a whole day."

"So troublesome?"

"It's not like this usually, but now..."

Guo Shan shrugged. "We are catching up with the new emperor's coronation ceremony. Safety comes first."

Chongxiao is now increasingly regretting taking on Lao Wei's job. This is clearly a waste of time...

Fortunately, the villages and towns around Shendu did not have such requirements, so he followed Guo Shan's advice, left his luggage in the convoy, and went out for a stroll.

The various types of Heavenly Masters in Dayan are well-known, among which the Civil Engineering Heavenly Masters are the largest in scale... Not only can they transform the living environment to a certain extent, they are also adept at assisting in the construction of facilities.

Because the villages and towns around the capital have their own environment and landforms, not all of them are purely plain and simple.

In fact, in addition to planting and cultivating, the residents here also rely on tourism projects to earn income, which can be understood as super high-level farm stays.

Chongxiao had rarely been to towns and villages before... Longmen's sailing routes were mostly in barren wilderness with very few towns and villages. At this moment, he actually felt it was very fresh.

He even considered whether to buy some souvenirs for Xingxiong, Texas and others...

Thinking of this, he got off the long-distance bus that was circling around the capital.

Thanks to the "craftsmanship" of the civil engineers, the so-called villages and towns have both modern country villas and quaint brick and tile houses. Various vehicles pass by from time to time on the criss-crossing roads, and there is no shortage of wooden carts pulled by beasts of burden. There is a wonderful feeling of the interweaving of time and space and the condensation of civilization.

Chongxiao's target was a small shop selling souvenirs. He thought it should be easy to find in places with developed tourism, but after walking for more than ten minutes, he didn't see any.

In desperation, I was about to take another long-distance bus, but suddenly I heard a hurried noise in the distance.

"Wu Ming, don't hide in there and keep silent! I know you are at home. If you have the guts to scold me, why can't you open the door? Open the door quickly!"

What kind of Originium technique is this! Why is the DNA moving?!

Chongxiao hesitated for a moment out of curiosity, then turned and walked towards the street where the sound came from.

This is a relatively ordinary narrow alley, with modern-style villas with courtyards on both sides. The living standards here should be quite good.

The young man who was banging on the door frantically continued, but judging from the fact that he didn't utter a single swear word for a long time, he must be a well-rounded person.

In addition, there was a man in a black robe standing next to him. He was silent and quiet, and only glanced at Chongxiao when he approached... But it was this one thing that made Chongxiao certain that he was a master.

His strength is definitely beyond that of Wei Yanwu's master!
