The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The procession moving into the city moved forward slowly.
When Qin Luo and his group reached the vicinity of the city gate, the burly city guard noticed Qin Luo and quickly walked over. "May I ask how I should address you, Daoist Master?"
The little dumpling stood with her hands on her hips, proudly raising her head, "My boss is Qin Luo, the eldest disciple of Longhu Temple, and I am the little dumpling, the great protector of Longhu Temple."
Upon hearing this, the burly general smiled and clasped his hands in a salute. "This humble general is Xu Hu. Her Highness the Princess has arranged a place for Daoist Qin to rest. Please follow me."
"Thank you for your trouble, General Xu."
"Of course."
Xu Hu sized up Qin Luo. He looked very young, with clear eyes, and seemed to have no guile.
The city gates of the Great Xia capital were very deep, like long tunnels. When they passed through the city gates, they were greeted by bustling and wide streets, with towering mountains in the distance.
"Wow!"
"The capital city is so big!"
The little dumpling looked around. The streets of the capital were filled with a dazzling array of goods. Xu Hu smiled and introduced them, "This is the outer city, where ordinary people live. If you walk along Zhuque Avenue and cross the Nine-Arch Bridge, you will reach the inner city."
Qin Luo's eyes narrowed slightly. When he entered the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom, he suddenly felt that the world was no longer there. The city walls isolated the outside world. This place was like a blessed land, and the capital was more like a cage. The entire capital was a killing formation.
This is an enlarged version of the Purple Gold Bagua Furnace.
Qin Luo's sleeves fluttered slightly, and two wisps of breeze followed him to the capital, then drifted away into the distance.
"It smells so good!"
The little dumpling swallowed hard.
There was a roast duck shop on the street. When the little girl saw the price list hanging high up, she tilted her head and looked surprised. "One roast duck costs one hundred and twenty-eight coins?"
When Xu Hu saw that the little dumpling wanted to eat roast duck, he shouted, "Boss, give me a roast duck!"
"Yes, sir!"
The shop owner worked quickly, chopping the plump roast duck into small pieces, sprinkling it evenly with cumin, and finally wrapping it in oil paper. "Sir, your roast duck."
Xu Hu took out a piece of broken silver. "Keep the change!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The boss's face was full of smiles.
Xu Hu handed the roast duck wrapped in oil paper to the little dumpling, "Little fairy, please enjoy."
"don't want."
The little dumpling shook its head with a determined look in its eyes.
"Don't be so polite with me."
"I don't want it, free things are always expensive!"
Xu Hu thought it made a lot of sense. He handed the roast duck to Qin Luo and said, "Master Qin, Her Highness the Princess asked me to treat you well. I will report the expenses to the Princess later."
Qin Luo accepted the hot roast duck. "Thank you for your kindness, General Xu. Please don't spend any more money in the future."
"good."
Xu Hu burst into laughter.
Qin Luo handed the roast duck to Xiao Tuanzi, who cheered with joy. She didn't open the oil paper bag but held it in her arms, preparing to eat it slowly in the resting place.
Not far from the city wall, there is a high wall with many notices posted on it.
"This Sun Jisheng is extraordinary. An unknown scholar from Yanbei County has actually surpassed the genius of Daxia Academy and passed the imperial examination with flying colors."
"I heard his teacher is extraordinary."
As Qin Luo listened to the people's discussions, he thought of Zhao Qing'er's best friend, who had come to Longhu Temple last year to pray for her grandson. He wondered if it was him.
The announcement also included many other things: Her Highness the Princess will be going to Lieshan tomorrow to pay respects to her ancestors and pray for the people of Great Xia; the Prince of Jiangling has colluded with the demon race and intends to rebel, and will be executed in the autumn; and prayer lanterns can be released in the city from 7 PM to 11 PM at the end of February.
Qin Luo looked at the message on the bulletin board. Zhu Xian had been very busy lately. The Dao Discussion Conference should be after the Prayer Festival, so he would have two days to rest.
Along the way, Qin Luo has seen all kinds of scenery, met all kinds of interesting people, and gained a lot. He gradually understands what his master meant by being down-to-earth.
The deeper Qin Luo went into the capital, the faster his heart beat. He looked at the tall building in the distance, which was tall enough to overlook the world beyond the city walls.
Qin Luo could sense the familiar aura within the high-rise building. He then looked towards the east of the capital, where there were fluctuations of fragments of the Heavenly Dao and a dense aura of righteousness nearby.
"General Xu, is that the Great Xia Academy over there?"
"Yes, the academy is located on the edge of the outer city, very close to the inner city, and the surrounding environment is quiet and peaceful."
Qin Luo then looked towards the west of the capital, where there were also fluctuations from fragments of the Heavenly Dao, and even soaring blood energy. "Is that the Martial Academy over there?"
Xu Hu nodded with a smile, "That's right, as expected of Master Qin. He has never been to the capital, yet he knows it like the back of his hand."
"Of course."
The little dumpling proudly raised its head.
Qin Luo smiled and shook his head. He then looked into the depths of the capital, where not only were there fragments of the Heavenly Dao, but also a golden aura, and a colossal creature lurked there.
Without a doubt, that was the imperial palace.
After a brief sensing, Qin Luo detected the existence of four Heavenly Dao fragments. In addition to the spatial Dao principles on the Imperial Preceptor's body and the five Heavenly Dao fragments on his body, at least ten Heavenly Dao fragments appeared in the capital at the same time.
Xu Hu led Qin Luo and the others to a secluded mountain forest far from the city. There were many houses nearby, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with birds singing and flowers blooming. "Master Qin, this Tiangan Courtyard was arranged for you by Her Highness the Princess."
"This yard is huge!"
The little dumpling was the first to run into the yard.
In the courtyard, there was a maid dressed in green, with a gentle and refined appearance, who seemed well-read. There was also an old man dressed in gray sweeping the floor; the old man was tall and thin and looked very old.
The maid in green stood up. Xu Hu looked at the maid and said, "Master Qin, her name is Wan'er. She is a maidservant of the princess. You can tell her anything you need."
