Divine Book Era

Chapter 66 Yangzhou
The Heavenly Snake King said again: "Three acquired realms, tempering the body, changing tendons, and forging bones; three innate realms, washing the marrow, exchanging blood, and opening the orifices. In essence, they belong to one big realm, and they all belong to the mortal realm. In the eyes of some superiors, There is not much difference between Body Quenching and Tongqiao, one is just a smaller ant and the other is a bigger ant!"

"No one cares whether the ants are bigger or smaller! As long as they are constantly accumulating, have a deep foundation, and are proficient in fighting skills, even if they are only in the Yijin state, they still have combat power that rivals the Tongqiao state!"

The lower the level, the more likely it is to fight across levels; the higher the level, the more difficult it is to fight across levels.

The Mortal Realm, the six realms, are actually not very different from each other.

Some talented people can easily cross several realms and fight.

As if he wasn't worried enough, the Heavenly Snake King said again: "Your roots are so deep, you might not be able to match the fighters of the fish-dragon realm in the mortal realm!"

"Understood, not taking shortcuts is the biggest shortcut!" Liu Xiu reluctantly agreed.

"Silly scholar, you are only 13 years old now, ten years later, you will only be 23 years old, and you will be able to reach the realm of fish and dragon at 23 years old, please be content!" The Heavenly Snake King said: "Ten years of sharpening a sword, a hundred years of unsheathing, and a thousand years of invincibility. In a few decades, you will be invincible in the world; in a hundred years, you will be invincible!"

The Heavenly Snake King revealed the plan in its heart.

If you only want to become a fish-dragon-level warrior, you only need to take the tiger-wolf elixir to become a Taoist soldier, and it only takes one or two months;

If you want to become a top powerhouse, you need to constantly polish the foundation and consolidate the foundation. How strong the foundation is, how far you can go in the future.It is not necessary to pursue a fast cultivation speed, but to pursue every realm to achieve the ultimate.

What is an invincible strong man?
It is to lay the most solid foundation, every realm has been cultivated to the extreme, and it is not taking pills!
Only those who have the three are qualified to be invincible.

If it is for the pursuit of speed, the pursuit of combat effectiveness, sacrificing potential and future prospects, it is a pity!

Yangzhou is the first state in the south of Great Chu.

The street is extremely bustling, with all kinds of merchants bustling with each other, among them are many overseas people, walking on the street one after another.

Riding a donkey and walking on the street, Liu Xiu only felt that the prosperity of Yangzhou far surpassed that of Yingzhou.Compared with Yangzhou, Yingzhou is like the difference between a small county and a metropolis.

Yangzhou is the most developed in wine making, silk weaving, porcelain, engraving, shipbuilding, and sea trade. It can be said that commerce is developed and sea trade is prosperous.And here is a place where talents gather, a place where Qinlou and Chu Pavilion are dense, and the nobles of the capital want to hold a meeting in Yangzhou, inviting all the talents from the eight states in the south to gather here.

Brothel and Chu Pavilion, poets and poets, are jumbled among them, and the couplets are presented, and the barriers are full.

As the saying goes, what is not available is the best thing.

Among them, there are people who sell sex for a living, and there are also some elegant and noble people.These nobles, who sell their art but not their bodies, are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and know everything about poetry and songs.Princes, nobles, literati and poets held church meetings, often spending a lot of money to invite these upright officials to attend, drink and eat, and enliven the atmosphere.

The quality of those top-notch nobles is no less than those of the ladies, and they are more gentle and pleasant. They don't have the temper of those officials and ladies, and they have attracted countless talents.

At night, the streets are brightly lit, the crowds flow like weaves, and the lights are on all night. Most of the restaurants are very ornately decorated. Generally speaking, a flat trapezoidal eaves will protrude in the middle of the front of the Cailou Huanmen for restaurants with more than two floors. The top of each layer is tied with a mountain-shaped flower stand, which is decorated with various ornaments in the shape of flowers and birds, and tassels hang from the eaves.

Ladies from aristocratic families, noble ladies from official families, and ladies from all walks of life all like to go out at night. Beautiful shadows in twos and threes roam the streets, rest and drink tea in the teahouses on both sides, with a calm and beautiful look.

Looking at the beauties, Liu Xiu's mood improved a lot.

Zhao Yong, one of Yingzhou's twin prides, received an invitation; he even brought an invitation for Liu Xiu.

Looking at the content on the invitation, Liu Xiu rode a donkey, left the thatched hut, walked for three days, and arrived in Yangzhou City to attend the church meeting held by the third prince.

It's like another interview session.

The hall meeting is the interview meeting.

The venue of the church is in a luxurious manor in Yangzhou, Jingu Garden.

After a brief acquaintance, Liu Xiu learned that Jingu Garden is one of the manors of the third prince.

Liu Xiu's Wolong Villa is also a manor, but it is only a few thatched cottages and dozens of acres of fields, which is extremely simple; while Jingu Garden is extremely luxurious.
Jingu Garden, according to the mountain shape and water potential, builds gardens and pavilions, digs lakes and opens ponds, clear streams linger in the garden, and the sound of water gurgles.Within dozens of miles around, there are pavilions and pavilions, scattered high and low, with golden valley water lingering and flowing through it, birds singing in the secluded village, and fish leaping over the lotus pond.Shi Chong sent people to the Nanyang Islands to exchange silk, tea, copper and iron for pearls, agate, amber, rhino horn, ivory and other valuables, and decorated the houses in the garden resplendently like a palace.

Whenever in March in Yangchun, when the wind is warm and the sun is warm, the peach blossoms are scorching, the willows are curling, the pavilions and trees are shaded by each other, butterflies are dancing among the flowers; the birds are chirping and talking to the branches, the scenery is very beautiful.

There was a poem that said: "The scenery of the Golden Valley in those days, the mountains were green and the water was long, the towers were suspended in thousands of shapes, and the pearls and emeralds were lined up in thousands of rows."

…………

Picking up the donkey, Liu Xiu walked out of Yangzhou City again and walked towards the Golden Valley Garden.

It's like going to an interview.

"Golden Valley Garden..."

Thinking of this noun, Liu Xiu couldn't help but smile.

After walking for about half an hour, a huge manor appeared in front of me.And in front of the door, guards appeared one after another, shouting: "Stop, this is the Golden Valley Garden, idlers, etc., don't stay!"

"Here is the invitation card!"

With that said, Liu Xiu waved his hand and went out. The invitation was handed over.

The guard took the invitation, looked at it, and said, "Dear guest, wait a moment!"

As he spoke, he said a few words to a guard, and after a while, a man with the appearance of an official appeared, looked at the invitation, nodded and said: "It is the invitation of the prince, honored guests, please come in!"

With that said, the butler followed Liu Xiu and walked towards the Golden Valley Garden.

Entering the manor, there are nine curved corridors, rockery, woods, flowers, lakes, etc., intertwined continuously, the flowing water is turbulent, the bluestone is paved, the light is like a mirror, and it is as hard as iron.The entire manor is huge, and Liu Xiu felt lost while walking.

Originally, his sense of direction was not strong, but now his walking is even more confused.

It's as if Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

The manor is huge, far surpassing the Humble Administrator's Garden, Lingering Garden, etc. seen in previous lives.

Liu Xiu sighed in his heart, he really didn't understand the world of the rich, and he couldn't play it well, and his thatched cottage was more suitable for him.

But the officials looked at Liu Xiu's appearance as a bumpkin, and their hearts were full of contempt.

Donkey, like a horse, has long ears; Meng, a donkey.

The donkey has a green spine and a long body, long cheeks and a wide forehead, a trimmed tail and a drooping tail, with huge ears and double ears.

A donkey is a lowly thing.

Only poor scholars ride donkeys!
