The temperature in the smelting plant was very high. After looking at it for a while, Xia Xiaoyu and others felt it was too hot and they left one after another. Ling Xin'an checked again and left after seeing that the kiln was relatively stable.

Thousands of miles away from the Yangtze River, the waves were rolling. Ling Xin'an changed his appearance and dressed himself up as a strong man in his thirties. He had a short beard on his face, dark complexion and dim eyes. He sat alone on the bow of the boat, meditating in silence. This was a

A two-story merchant ship is currently heading towards its destination.

Two days later, when exclamations and exclamations resounded on the ship, many passengers stepped onto the ship one after another, looking at the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. They cheered, marveled and praised, but the words that resonated most loudly in their ears were the words: "Jinling is here!"

"Jinling has finally arrived!"

Yes, Ling Xin'an left Jiangzhou City in disguise and came to Jinling City quietly.

The capital of the Zhou Dynasty - Jinling City, this ancient city known as the capital of ten dynasties is still twenty miles away from the gate of Jinling City. From a distance, you can feel a vigorous and majestic momentum, like an ancient dragon coiling around.

On the ground, the huge green and black wall is like a giant sword in the sky, and you can see the endless edge of the city. The vast city is like countless terrifying beasts lying in it, exuding an aura that makes people's souls tremble, and in the center

, Ling Xin'an clearly saw a group of purple unknown energy flowing directly from the ground to the heaven and earth, and suddenly a roar was like a dragon's roar, coming towards Ling Xin'an's soul. Ling Xin'an suddenly felt a sense of fear, his face changed drastically, and his forehead

He was sweating heavily. Seeing this, he jumped up and flew towards the shore until he disappeared into the forest.

After finding a tree, Ling Xin'an calmed herself down and no longer felt the atmosphere of Jinling City. After everything calmed down, she carefully walked to the official road and looked from a distance again. At this time, there was nothing strange like before.

Jinling City is still the same Jinling City. Apart from being huge and majestic, it no longer has the terrifying aura it had before.

Ling Xin'an walked away smoothly and steadily, observing the ancient city of Jinling along the way.

The suburbs are naturally filled with farmers or small businesses, people engaged in planting and breeding, and year-round water and land transportation. Before they reach the bank of the Jinling moat, countless sails stand in the Grand Canal, busy and orderly, leaning against the river, as if they are already bigger than the river.

A small town bigger than a state capital, it was bustling with countless people going back and forth, boarding ships and unloading goods, and gathering merchants from all over the world.

Ling Xin'an walked around the moat and headed towards the south gate of Jinling City. The official road was paved with bluestones and was six feet wide, allowing twelve horses to ride side by side. The two sides were flat and wide, with shrubs and grass dotted with occasional peach and apricot trees. It was now mid-spring.

During the season, the mountains are full of peach blossoms, flowers are everywhere, and countless wild birds come and go.

It is afternoon now, and there is an endless stream of people and carriages on the official road. Many handsome men and beautiful women are walking together. Merchants and vendors are in small groups. People are looking for their homes and people are hurriedly walking for a living. There are also tourists walking around. It seems like a peaceful and prosperous world.

Beautiful pictures.

Ling Xin'an was so ordinary that no one noticed. When he came to the South City Gate, he once again felt the terrifying aura of this thousand-year-old city. He quickly calmed down and calmed down. As expected, the aura disappeared without a trace.

Without a trace, Ling Xin'an's mind was still dizzy as he looked at the huge wall that was nearly twenty feet high. He had never thought that in this world, there was such a towering city wall, and Jiangzhou City was comparable to it.

Comparatively, it is simply the difference between adults and young children.

After paying the entrance fee, Ling Xin'an entered Jinling City. Countless voices came overwhelmingly, and the sight before him also amazed him.

There are rows of high-rise buildings, busy streets, shops on both sides, and overwhelming sounds, intertwined together. Ling Xin'an suddenly feels like she has returned to the world she was familiar with, that prosperous city. Standing on the street is like a dream, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

I can't believe it.

"Get out of my way!" A loud shout woke Ling Xin'an from her intoxication, and a whistling sound came from her ears and hit the back of her head.

Ling Xin'an was slightly startled and dodged to one side.

"You can dodge quickly!" A cursing voice came from the horseback. Ling Xin'an looked around and happened to meet the eyes looking at him. They were a pair of fierce and indifferent eyes. He looked at himself with a look of surprise.

fleeting.

"Boy, be more careful next time you walk!" After saying that, he raised his hand and galloped forward on his horse. Behind him, several horses raised a plume of smoke. In front of him, pedestrians retreated in fear, and from time to time, the man's angry curses could be heard.

A ray of light flashed across her eyes, Ling Xin'an put away her expression, and an aunt next to her said: "Young man, is this your first time coming to Aurous Hill?"

Ling Xin'an looked at the aunt in front of her and said, "Auntie, how do you know?"

The aunt said: "Because I was so stupid when I saw you standing on the street looking at Jinling City. Otherwise, how could you not notice someone riding a horse from behind?"

Ling Xin'an smiled: "Auntie, you have such nice eyes. I want to ask you, who were those people just now? They were so arrogant and domineering, and they actually galloped around the capital like this."

"Haha, young man, I think you are already thirty. Don't ask about certain things. If you do, there will be no good consequences."

Ling Xin'an paused and smiled: "No matter how arrogant you are, you still dare to act wild in front of the Holy Master? Are you not afraid of beheading?"

The aunt smiled and said: "Only outsiders like you think this way. How much does the emperor know about the affairs of the capital? If you really want to know, I will tell you. The horses just now, judging from the signs, seem to be from the clan mansion, the emperor's

Relative, do you dare to file a complaint?"

Ling Xin'an was slightly startled: "Auntie is right, I am too young!"

After saying that, he saluted her and left. After turning around, Ling Xin'an couldn't help but look gloomy.

The size of Jinling City is unimaginable. It takes two or three days to visit on horseback, and half a day to gallop around. Only by immersing yourself in the city can you feel the vastness of Jinling City.

Ling Xin'an found a restaurant called Shuyuan Building to stay two streets away from Wenshu Academy.

After settling in, Ling Xinan sat on the window sill and looked at Wenshu Academy in the distance. This academy was regarded as the greatest academy by the Zhou Dynasty. It was also one of the top must-see attractions in Jinling City. Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty knew that the real academy was in Chaoge City.

, this place was just built after the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty moved south. The students of Wenshu Academy here were instilled with the idea of ​​serving the emperor and the people, hoping to one day regain Chaoge City and rebuild Wenshu Academy.

In front of the college gate, students came in and out in small groups, talking loudly or whispering. Everyone exuded a heroic spirit unique to the college. But no matter how Ling Xin'an looked at it, inside the college, it seemed as if it was isolated from the world.

There was no aura, no quiet feeling, and no one could be seen. Except for the lush trees exposing the college wall, blocking the line of sight, there was nothing else. It was obvious that there was a powerful formation that blocked everyone's prying eyes.

The next day, Ling Xin'an got up early, got information from the waiter, and joined a tour group specially organized by the local chamber of commerce for out-of-town tourists. The fee was not high, just one gold coin, and the tour introduced the beautiful scenery, food and beauty of Jinling City.

Ling Xin'an happily accepted the offer, and followed the group early in the morning to visit the eight scenic spots in Jinling. In the afternoon, Ling Xin'an left alone and started walking around Jinling City.

Like all foreign tourists, Ling Xin'an is aimless. When she encounters delicious food, Ling Xin'an will buy a piece and eat while walking. When she encounters a good-looking product, she will stop to bargain with the boss, and then hide her face when she thinks it is too expensive.

After leaving, when you feel tired, go to a restaurant and sit down to rest, casually asking the waiter about the food and beauty of Jinling City, or pointing out who owns the majestic and tall house in front of you, just like a tourist.

Until night fell and the lanterns came on, Ling Xin'an came to the Yanliu Lake in the West Lake, one of the eight scenic spots.

Yanliu, as the name suggests, is a place where wind, flowers, snow and moon gather. On the banks of the Qinhuai River, the most famous West Lake Yanliu in Jinling City is crowded with people at this time. The lights on both sides of the bank are brightly lit. Countless handsome men and beautiful women are shuttled back and forth. The sound of swallows and warblers, even in mid-spring, is full of traces of smoke.

In the cold spring, light gauze can still be seen everywhere here, and the fragrance fills the entire night sky.

Ling Xin'an came to a building called Yanyu Pavilion, and two pretty girls at the door greeted her with smiles on their faces: "Welcome, sir, please come in!"

Ling Xin'an casually took out two pieces of silver and rewarded them. Their beautiful eyes widened and their smiles became even brighter: "Thank you, sir, I'm here to invite you."

Ling Xin'an: "Is there any private room?"

"Master, yes, please come with me!" the girl in a green gown on the left said hurriedly.

Ling Xin'an followed the green girl into the lobby. It was even more lively inside, and the sight of the girl's figure was dazzling. Following the lead of the girl, Ling Xin'an came to a wing on the third floor near the street, thinking

To see the full view of the hall in the pavilion, you can only see a corner through a small window.

"Sir, are there any familiar sisters?" the green girl asked.

Ling Xin'an shook her head: "Just give me some wine, food and snacks."

"Okay, sir, wait a moment!"

Soon, the food and wine were served, and Ling Xin was sitting in the side room. Through the window, she could see people coming and going outside, and in her ears came the music of silk and bamboo orchestra, enchanting singing and dancing, which easily touched the heartstrings and made people intoxicated.

Ling Xin'an tasted it for a while, admiring it quietly, until the girl's extremely happy voice came from downstairs: "Master Dugu, you are finally here!"

A soft and gentle voice sounded: "Haha, I'm here to see Miss Nishang."

The sound was silent, but almost everyone present could hear it. Ling Xin'an's eyes lit up, and in a flash, his expression returned to its original state, and he looked towards the sound.

This is an unforgettable man. He is in his early twenties, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, clear outlines, a tall and strong body that does not look bloated at all, a fair face, a brocade suit that does not look vulgar, and a sword on his back.

At his waist, he stood there like a fairy and a romantic figure. No wonder he attracted all the attention as soon as he entered the door.
