Chapter 499: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country

"No wonder the land of Gyeonggi is said to be a forbidden area for supernatural powers, since I left Heungdeok City, step by step approaching Xingjing, I felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier, and the extraordinary power was gradually suppressed, and even the physical body knots seemed to be blocked by invisible power, and it was more difficult for the soul to get out of the body, and the connection with the aura of the outside world also gave birth to a barrier, and it was not easy to return to the original. ”

Standing in front of the gate of Xingjing City, looking at the scene of people coming and going outside the city, Qiu Yan took a deep breath, and the first thing he felt was not the prosperity of this city, but a solemn atmosphere that emanated from the city all the time.

Heavy, heavy.

"However, there is some prestige in this city, and they are gathering towards me......"

Yes, this line of weird people is him, Hu Qi and others.

Since leaving Xingde City and coming towards Xingjing, Qiu Yan and the others have become heavier and heavier almost every time they have advanced.

It's not really that there is a heavy object pressing on the body, but because of the many forces in the body, it is suppressed little by little, so that the body, which is more and more light and controllable after the practice, begins to change towards the situation when it was not practicing.

Of course, more is the spiritual obstacle.

However, this kind of change is also an extraordinary experience, the change of the environment, the change of the mind and consciousness, and then affect the body, the truth contained in this is worth savoring. ”

With such thoughts, after traveling for a while, Qiu Yan's heart gradually let go of his concern for external pressure, and even stopped exploring what kind of power was suppressing the supernatural powers.

Such a change caused the two veterans of Jinwu Dao to be secretly surprised.

These two veterans were reluctant to say their names, so they were given two code names by Qiu Yan, one is called "Jin Zuo", and the other is "Jin Right".

The two of them were sealed. Cultivation is empty, but in addition to fighting and waking up, there was a period of discomfort, and there was a certain fluctuation of feelings, after that, the two old ways quickly adapted to it, and there was a sense of peace with the encounter.

Subsequently, Qiu Yan and others left the inn and embarked on the road to the west before many wealthy businessmen came to visit. Along the way, the supernatural powers were gradually suppressed, but for the two monks who were banned, there was not much impact, and the mood of the two did not change much.

On the other hand, they turned to observe the physical and mental changes of Qiu Yan and others, wanting to know more about Qiu Yan as a person.

In fact, the suppression of the power of supernatural powers, the more advanced the cultivation of people. The experience is becoming more and more obvious, such as Hu Qi and Dai Guo, the secret points are sealed, but it is just an increase in the gap between them and the aura. The true qi is slightly obscure, and the impact on strength, qi and blood is not great, and it will not be affected even more until their realm is higher.

Compared with. That sex monk, no matter how high or low the realm, as long as he is close to Xingjing. will feel the obvious impact, and even after the tricks are blocked and the soul is difficult to come out, the whole person will gradually tend to be an ordinary mortal, and this gap will often cause a lot of waves in the monk's heart, affect the state of mind, and then hinder cultivation.

The second elder of Jin Wu originally wanted to see Qiu Yan's mood fluctuations, but he didn't expect that the latter would quickly get used to the changes and show extraordinary state of mind attainments.

Judging from the information collected in the sect, this person is not very old, I don't know if he was replaced by some old monster, or Su Hui awakened, or reincarnated with great power. ”

Thinking like this, the two old Taoists' interest in Qiu Yan increased more and more, but after Yuan Ying was sealed, their bodies and bones were not as good as those of young people, and after a period of hurrying, in the later stage, although there were no waves in their hearts, their bodies were tired, but they were unwilling to admit defeat, and they followed suit, so that they almost overdrew their bodies.

When they arrived at the gate of Xingjing, the two couldn't even speak, they just gasped for air, sweating like rain.

"Stop. ”

At the city gate, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the city gate saw this group of people and stopped them.

Qiu Yan's group is so weird, of course they won't ignore it, not to mention that they will try it soon, and the flow of people in Xingjing has increased dramatically, and it is time to strengthen vigilance.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, any negligence may cause unimaginable twists and turns, and it cannot be taken lightly.

"What are you doing? Do you have a guide?" The soldier walked over, glanced at it, and his eyes fell on Qiu Yan, he could see that Qiu Yan was the backbone of this group of people, and this scholarly dress also made him guess.

"In the next is to enter Beijing to catch the exam, this is the document. Qiu Yan didn't say much, so he sent the document over.

At the same time, Qiu Yan was also observing this soldier, this soldier was wearing a military robe, with a strong physique, and there was a kind of martial arts and strength in his actions.

"In the end, it is the capital of the capital, this soldier guarding the door is full of energy, full of muscles and bones, and his blood also has a gas phase, at least he has trained Ming Jin well, and put it in the army of Jiannan Dao, it is very likely that he will be the captain of the army and the chief of fire, but here he is just a soldier guarding the door!"

Qiu Yan looked towards the city gate again, and the several soldiers who came into view were similar to the person in front of him, with extraordinary combat power.

The soldier took the paperwork, glanced at Hu Qi and Dai Guo, and asked, "These two are your domestic servants?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, he pointed to the Jin Zuo and Jin You, and continued to ask: "Who are the two Taoist masters? Can there be a pure precept? Nowadays, there are many people in Xingjing, and those who come and go from the south to the north cannot enter the city without documents, road guides, and pure precepts, and can only settle in villages and towns outside the city. ”

In history, there have been many uprisings relying on Taoism, which are based on the successive dynasties, after the world is settled, the Taoist priests will be controlled, and the previous dynasty even had a Taoist official system, in a vain attempt to completely control Taoism.

In this gate, there are already many people with magical powers, who are controlled and restricted by the imperial court, and there will definitely be conflicts and stories, which are difficult to understand just by reading the history books, although Qiu Yan has also guessed, but he does not know the details.

In the Darui Dynasty, the imperial court's control of the Daomen was slightly relaxed, and then there was a pure precept system, similar to the people of the Tao, each of whom had a document to record the Taoist number, the teacher and the Taoist system, which was the evidence for the Taoist priest to travel around the world, as for the deeper impact, Qiu Yan did not understand it at present.

"They ......" Qiu Yan frowned, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the second elder of Jin Wu to say directly: "Poor Dao and others have pure precepts." After the words fell, he took out the paperwork from his bosom and handed it over as well.

After the soldiers took it, they asked the names of Hu Qi and Dai Guo, glanced at a few more people, and then handed the things to the clerk by the city gate for identification, and recorded them in the book, and then returned the things.

"After Qiu Jieyuan enters the city, try your best to find an inn to settle down, and it will be the time for the test in a few days. ”

"Thanks for the reminder. After taking the things, Qiu Yan and the others entered the city.

Seeing that the men had gone away, the soldier returned to the place where the city gate was stationed, sat down on a chair, and talked with the clerk.

"Recently, there have been a lot of Taoist priests in the city, and I don't know why, could it be that it is also related to the examination?"

"These things, we don't need to pay attention to them, don't ask more, it's just that this Qiu Yan and his deeds, scholars, warriors and Taoist priests all the way, it's really a little weird, and when I return to the yamen at night, I have to report to the department, just in case." ”

"That's exactly what it is. ”

..................

"The people of Xingjing are so hostile to outsiders. ”

As soon as he entered the city, Qiu Yan was greeted by the hostile gaze of the pedestrians on the road, and the kind of anger that was aroused by people was overflowing with words.

Although the supernatural power was suppressed in Xingjing, the perception was still there, and even if it did not regain its original sensitivity, it was still not difficult to sense the feelings of pedestrians on the road.

"How many guest officers, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

After walking a few more steps, Qiu Yan ran into a person who was not so hostile to him, but this person was a guest officer, saying that he was going to take them to the inn.

At this time, Hu Qi walked up to Qiu Yan's ear and whispered: "Son, don't be fooled, most of the people who pull people on the street are dilapidated black shops, which are the most common when people gather, and our brothers have also participated in martial arts conferences and encountered similar situations." In the words, there was a residual thought, and I thought that I had suffered a lot of losses back then.

"Isn't this similar to the scene of pulling people to stay at the train station in the previous life?" Qiu Yan thought with interest, looking at the person's outfit, and the other party felt furious.

"Thank you, brother, I already have a place to stay. Seeing the situation, Hu Qi went up to negotiate.

Turning down the man's hospitality, Qiu Yan led the group towards the city, marching from the edge towards the inner city.

Hu Qi noticed that Qiu Yan's entry into the city this time seemed to be wandering aimlessly, but it seemed that he was also moving forward with a purpose.

"Childe, are you going to take us to watch a circle in the capital?" Dai Guo didn't have much thought, showing an excited expression.

As for the second elder of Jin Wu, he was already tired and decently overdrawn, and he still gritted his teeth and followed, just one step at a time, which made people can't help but sweat for them.

Walking and walking, Qiu Yan sighed with emotion: "Although Xingjing is the national capital, it may not be the capital of the Upper East in terms of prosperity. ”

"This ......" Hu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and looked around, but he saw people coming and going, and he was on par with Dongdong, but he didn't know why his son-in-law would say such a thing.

He just wanted to continue asking, but Qiu Yan, who was walking in front, suddenly sped up his steps.

"Huh?" Dai Guo looked at the situation and let out a soft sigh.

Seeing Qiu Yan in front of him, several scholars were coming towards him, and two of them showed excited expressions after seeing Qiu Yan, and rushed out of the crowd in a hurry, hurried over, and shouted the same words in their mouths-

"Brother Qiu, I finally saw you!"

"Brother Luo, Brother Zhou. Qiu Yan's face also showed a smile.

When you meet your old acquaintance in a foreign country, you will be happy in life. (To be continued......)
