The capital of Daxia, Shendu, can also be called Shenjing, Shengdu, and Shengmin, which is located in the center of Zhongzhou. Zhongzhou, where Shendu is located, is an extremely rich plain with a unique geographical location, with natural barriers on all sides, with mountains as barriers from east to west, and rivers from north to south to block traffic, like a natural giant city. Since the first Middle-earth dynasty, the orthodox Middle-earth dynasty of all dynasties have been here. Scholars of all dynasties generally believe that Gods are the center of the world, with wealth of things, outstanding people and spiritual places, and the world is loved by heaven and earth.

The Xiao clan team set out from Xiaoyi and traveled for almost seven days, crossed the Li River, and arrived at Zhongzhou.

From Fuhu Pass to the capital of Shendu, the terrain of Fuhu Pass is relatively high. A hundred miles away, you will see a giant city with a regular rectangular wall. The buildings of various colors are arranged neatly and delicately. According to the different styles of the building, they are roughly divided into more than ten different architectural areas. The location of the central axis is layer by layer, reaching the imperial city in the center of the city. The temples are towering, the roofs are glazed yellow tiles, and a golden brilliance shines from afar, as if they are forged by gold.

The sky is high and the clouds are clean, the fields are vast and the clear water is surrounded by clear water, the trees are faint, and the distant mountains are undulating... The whole God is like a magnificent and magnificent picture scroll. When you approach the God City, you really feel like you step by step into the picture scroll. The closer you get, the more you can feel the magnificence, majesty and prosperity of this city.

Xiao's team entered from Xizhimen, just like many people who came to Shendu, everything seemed fresh, especially the young people who looked around, their hearts were inexplicably excited, happy, and even cheered.

Along the way, Xiao Tianlei has seen many big cities, and he has not been curious about classical cities. The gods are indeed magnificent from a distance, but when you look close, it is just like many beautiful things. If you really get close to it, you will lose your sense of mystery. Just like visiting a historical city, if no one explains its cultural heritage and historical stories, it is difficult to appreciate the thickness of this city. What is in front of you is just a living city where people live, noisy and noisy in the city. Even if the scribes wrote many gorgeous poems for it, it is still just a secular city. Perhaps in some aspects, it is complete and prosperous than other big cities, with more majestic buildings and more people, but it also has some shortcomings.

As a visitor from another place, when you come to a strange city, you have to face some problems. Therefore, the next encounter between Xiao and his group is not so pleasant.

When you arrive at Shendu, you must first solve the problem of food and accommodation. If it is normal, it is not a matter of matter. Now the court holds a big exam. There are not only literary exams, but also martial exams. At the same time, various celebrations and blessing ceremonies will be held. All the civil and military talents from all prefectures of Daxia will come to participate. In addition to the followers and guards, all kinds of people who come to Shendu to join in the fun, not only restaurants, inns, but also Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are full of people.

Everyone asked passers-by separately where some hotels were located, but they were also very jealous. After asking for a long time, there was no place to stay. Xiao Qingyang went to some guilds in Shendu to ask. The guild's subordinates had already been full, and even some ancillary houses such as woodshed were full of guests from all over the world.

"Don't think that it's great if there are a few stinky money. This is under the feet of the emperor. Don't think that you can do whatever you want if you have some money. When you get here, you have to be honest and obedient!"

Xiao Tianyou offered a high price to ask someone to free up some guest rooms, but he also encountered a wall. Amid the cheers of a group of scholars and the people, he was driven out by a proud shop owner.

The Middle-earth people born in Zhongzhou all felt that they were a little taller than people from other regions and were quite proud. People from other states were shorter here, let alone smoke and smoky land. Even if Xiao Tianyou dressed like a Middle-earth person, his appearance could not be deceived.

The children of the Xiushi in the team also went to find a place of residence with confidence. As a result, after wandering around, they all looked unhappy after returning. Their Xiushi's identity may be somewhat convenient in other cities, but they will not play any role in God.

In fact, there are definitely many places where God can live in people, but these places generally do not receive outsiders. Some wealthy families are in the houses of Shendu, some sects of the rivers and lakes, some schools of thought, etc. Xiao originally had a house in Shendu, but it had long become the houses of others. If the Xiao family had already claimed the name, I don’t know how many people would be willing to receive them, but now no one would pay attention to it.

Xiao Tianlei was too lazy to run around. When everyone went to find a place to stay, he and Xiao Tianbao left a guard carriage and luggage, found a shade of shade, bought some snacks, and tasted them leisurely. While chatting with other brothers in Lingzhou in the Xiao private chat system, telling the situation of Shendu, and satisfying their curiosity.

"Brother Lei, Uncle Yang and the others can't find a place to live, what should I do?" Xiao Tianbao asked. He just asked casually, not really caring, there were snacks in his hands and mouths.

"If you can't find a cold dish, just go out to sleep in the city. There are many open spaces outside the city, and the scenery is pretty good. The sky is as quilts as a bed. The air is fresh and better than the city." Xiao Tianlei doesn't care whether he can find a place to live. He doesn't care about whether he is away when he goes out. Anyway, the qi is in his body and he has strong adaptability to the environment.

"That's right, there's a smell of horse manure everywhere, and it's not as good as our Cangshan Prefecture." Xiao Tianbao no longer had the excitement and curiosity he had when he first came.

"The sky is like a quilt and the ground is like a bed, good sentence! The clan brother is really open-minded!"

The person who spoke was Xiao Tianci. At this time, he was also sitting under the shade of the tree, looking calm and at ease, not anxious about not being able to find a place to live, and was watching everything on the street with great interest.

Xiao Tianci was very well-educated, polite and modest, and spoke kindly, but he was a little sour. He talked about poetry and prose with other Xiao family children along the way, and his current affairs were not low. Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianci had greeted each other a few times. However, Xiao Tianlei observed along the way and said that Xiao Tianci was Xiao Tianyou's clan brother, but Xiao Tianyou and the guards of Di people always respected him, and they thought they might have a special identity.

"Anyway, it's not my big exam." Xiao Tianlei said.

Xiao Tianci laughed and said, "My clan brother is so straightforward. My clan brother is not bad at elegance, why don't he study?"

"dislike."

"What a pity."

"I haven't studied, and I'm not doing well."

"That's right, what's the point of studying? It's not good at all!" Xiao Tianbao interrupted.

Xiao Tianci said seriously: "Reading can make people understand the truth, the principles of being a human being, and the principles of everything."

"Then do you understand?" Xiao Tianbao asked.

"I have studied hard for more than ten years and have gained a little. I believe that there are not many things in the world that can stump me." Xiao Tianci said confidently.

Seeing Xiao Tianci so confident, Xiao Tianbao pulled the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but want to tease him. He picked up a stone and handed it to Xiao Tianci, and said, "Okay, tell me the truth about this stone."

Xiao Tianci was stunned: "Uh... what's the reason for stone?"

Xiao Tianbao said seriously: "The knowledge here is so great. How did the stones be born in the first place? What changes have they undergo? Why are they round? Why did they appear here? Why did they sink to the bottom of the water? Why did they land?"

At the beginning, Xiao Tianlei gave lectures to his brothers, but the brothers had no foundation, but simple knowledge was relatively boring. At that time, there was a flash of inspiration. Xiao Tianlei picked up a stone, and from the birth of a small stone, it formed a story, involving many disciplines, greatly aroused the brothers' interest, and then he devoted himself to the learning of some completely unfamiliar knowledge and slowly changed his cognition.

Xiao Tianci looked surprised. Stone is stone. What can be said? However, he is a smart person. Xiao Tianbao asked a series of questions. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are some truths.

"Brother, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He's just talking nonsense. Don't be as knowledgeable as him." Xiao Tianrong happened to hear it and quickly rescued Xiao Tianci, and he was stumped by Xiao Tianbao's problem.

"I can't understand a little stone, but I still have everything... "Xiao Tianbao expressed his contempt a little, and he just made fun of it. As for some of Professor Xiao Tianlei's knowledge, it belongs to the core secrets of his brothers. Besides, even if he says it, no one believes it, but he will never tell it.

"You kid has the ability, then you go find a place to live!" Xiao Tianrong said excitedly.

Xiao Tianbao was not fooled and said naturally: "I have found it long ago. Let's sleep in the city, and use the quilt as a bed. In the words of scholars, this is called elegance!"

"You..." Xiao Tianrong was so angry that he couldn't speak. If it was normal, it was indeed a matter of elegance, but now it was a big test and needed a good environment to review books. Also, if people know that they were sleeping in the wild, what kind of face would they have?

In the end, Xiao and his party found their residence. Xiao Qinghe returned and said that he had met an old acquaintance and could arrange accommodation for them. Afterwards, under the guidance of some servants, Xiao and his party went to the west of the city. A large area in the west of the city was the residences of officials in the court. The residences of officials were strictly regulated according to the rank, area, height, style, etc. of the officials and they were not allowed to cross. There were many rules in this place, such as horses and stalls in front of the doors of some mansions, which were a little deserted than other areas of Shendu. However, the rows of buildings were indeed grand, especially the towering imperial archways in front of some mansions, which were a symbol of family glory.

Xiao and his group had no official positions and could not walk on the road. They walked on the back door path that was specially designed for ordinary people to walk on. From time to time, they saw some people dressed in servants and servants.

After walking slowly for half an hour, he arrived at the back door of an inconspicuous mansion. Xiao and his party entered and lived in two courtyards specially used as guest rooms.

It was not until after settling down that Xiao Tianlei and others heard Xiao Qinghe say that this was the Qi Mansion, the residence of the Qi Family. The Qi Family is a family of military generals. Although the grade has always been low, it is relatively stable in the court and has stood for many years and has never caused any trouble.

The Qi family and the Xiao family also have some in-law relationships. If we really want to talk about it, the major clans and surnames have some in-law relationships. The Xiao family used to be in the court, but the entire clan was exiled. Most of the relatives were afraid of avoiding it and no longer interacted. The Qi family was quite kind and took good care of the Xiao family.

Originally, Xiao Qinghe didn't want to bother the Qi family, but on the way, he met General Yangwu who returned to Beijing to report his duties. Qi Zhenyue invited him warmly, and Xiao Qinghe was not easy to refuse. Besides, he really couldn't find another place to live.

Although the rules of Qifu are not big, there are not so many pavilions and towers, they are quite elegant, especially when you live in the backyard and go out to see Qifu's garden. The trees are flourishing, green and pleasant, and you will plant various flowers and plants, small bridges and flowing water, rockery lotus ponds, quiet and quiet, but it is an excellent place to live.

Xiao Tianlei is not picky about living in the house, and it is also good to have a good environment. He lives in the same room with Xiao Tianbao, and the window is facing the garden. When he opens the window, he can see the scenery in the garden.

Although he was away from home, he still had to deal with a lot of random affairs through the private chat system every day. In addition, he was busy and was a little tired. He had a place to stay and just wanted to rest early.

After washing up and going back to the room, I heard a vague sound of piano. Looking along the sound, the sound of piano should be coming from the mansion next door. The sound of piano was melodious. Xiao Tianlei didn't know whether it was good or not. Xiao Tianlei listened to various music in his previous life, and generally all kinds of instruments were ensembled. After various processing and processing, he achieved an audio-visual effect that humans could not achieve. In comparison, the rhythm of this world seemed a bit monotonous. Now the sound of the piano was pleasant, and he didn't think it was special.

"Who is this? Playing the piano at night will make people sleep? Brother Lei, should you shout and tell him not to play?" Xiao Tianbao complained while yawning.

"Let's sleep, we can't control the piano, and most of them are women." Xiao Tianlei guessed that girls from wealthy families don't have much entertainment in the house, so they usually embroider and play the piano.

"Female... then forget it." Xiao Tianbao fell asleep.

The sound of the piano is not bad, and you can't hear it when you fall asleep. Xiao Tianlei thought so, but the problem is that the sound of the piano has also attracted the attention of others. When Xiao Tianrong and others heard the sound of the piano, they ran to the garden and talked a lot. Their imagination was also rich, and they could be said to be fantasy. Only by listening to the sound of the piano, they guessed that the person who played the piano must be a peerless beauty. A group of people climbed up the rockery and looked to the next door. As a result, they only saw pavilions, water pavilions, and could not see the figure of the beauty. They recited poems loudly to attract the attention of the woman next door, as if they wanted to achieve a story of a talented man and a beautiful woman like in the story.

The more these guys talked, the more they became more and more outrageous they became. But there was no response from the next door. Later, the sound of the piano disappeared, and they calmed down and Xiao Tianlei fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, many people from the Xiao family went out for a tour, but Xiao Tianlei did not go out, so he practiced martial arts with Xiao Tianbao in the garden and adjusted his condition.

At night, the sound of a piano came from next door. Xiao Tianrong and others ran to the garden and looked at each other. They learned from somewhere that the mansion of a corrupt official in the court next door was the mansion of a corrupt official. They guessed that the woman playing the piano must have been snatched by the corrupt official as a concubine. They claimed that they could hear the resentment in the sound of the piano, and they were heartbroken, hoping to save the beauty from the water and fire, and they were very determined to be desperate.

Later, Xiao Qinghe scolded him and then calmed down and went back to his room to review his books.

On the third day, Xiao Tianlei was about to go out for a walk. Since he came to Shendu, it would be unreasonable not to walk around. Besides, the big test will take some time to start, and it will last for several days. He still has to wait for the list. He can't wait for it. The reason why Xiao Tianlei wanted to come to Shendu was that he thought that Shendu should have concentrated some of the highest-end figures, knowledge and technology in Daxia. If he had the opportunity to see it, he could understand the world better, and perhaps he could inspire him, recall some forgotten knowledge in his previous life, and improve the technical level of Wild Boar Ridge.

Without a guide and without a Shanyue warrior, Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao went out and wandered around.

Gods say that they are under the feet of the emperor. From the mouths of many people, they are not as good as cities that can be found in the world. That is, there are many gangsters and dandy bullies in the city, especially some thieves who are specifically focused on outsiders. Young men from other places like Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao are the focus of their attention.

Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianbao had been in a day and encountered several waves. However, they had long been familiar with this kind of guy. These guys were still very arrogant when they were caught. They claimed to have a background, and outsiders dared not do anything to him. Gods are indeed not Lingzhou, and Xiao Tianlei could not beat him openly, but he could secretly use his qi to inflict internal injuries.

After visiting for a day, I had a general understanding of various areas and some famous places in Shendu. One of them aroused great interest from Xiao Tianlei, and the Wuya Academy is said to have the most collection of books in Daxia.
