It is easy to ride a light horse and a bad horse. It is a traveler who is traveling in the face of wind and rain... Li Ji went north and rotated with two horses, very quickly. In less than ten days, he left the country in the south and entered the boundary of Zheng. The way to travel is to tighten the front and loose the back. Since he left the country, he no longer had to worry about the pursuit of the government. Li Ji slowed down and wanted to find a big city to rest. Whether it was him or two horses, these days were very tired. Three days later, a towering city appeared in front of him.

Xichang City is a great city of Zheng State. It is located at the intersection of Qingcang River and Liuma River. It has a long history, convenient transportation, developed industry and commerce, and prosperous culture. It is the richest city of Zheng State. Compared with it, the twin cities are like a village.

Li Ji introduced the city on the road, but he was not questioned, nor did he have the so-called expenses for entering the city. He truly showed the demeanor and mind of a big city. The main gate of the city gate was closed, and people entered and exited through the two side gates, including merchants, scholars, farmers, hawkers, bustling, dense but not chaotic.

He led his horse into the city gate, and a clean and tidy atmosphere rushed towards him. The roads in the city were paved with bluestone, and the buildings next to the road were mostly made of two or three-story buildings, mainly brick and stone structures, and many buildings also carved beams and painted pillars, showing luxury. Li Ji found a idle person next to the road, and promised half a tael of silver. He looked for a quiet and tidy inn. The money was not in vain. The idle person was a local, and he was very flattering after getting foreign wealth. He took Li Ji away for a while and took him to the gate of Wenhe Inn. The inn was not big, but the geographical location was superior and very quiet. Li Ji was very satisfied. He asked the room to go, settled the horses properly, and then ordered the friend to take a hot water, take a shower quickly, poured it on the bed, and fell asleep immediately.

I was sleepy and didn't wake up until the next morning. I felt refreshed and exhausted. Since I escaped from the two cities and ran all the way, both physically and psychologically stressed. Now I am finally safe, I must always appreciate the style of Tongbu City.

Xichang, known as Wenhui in ancient times, means to appreciate elegant literature and gather talented men. It is the place where the literary style of Zheng State and even the northern region is the most prosperous. For thousands of years, countless great poets, writers, and lyricists and musicians of the continent have been born here. It is the holy place in the hearts of scholars in the Northern Region and the palace of Wenyuan. Li Ji felt particularly good all the way along. In addition to the people at the bottom who need to rush for life, the most are scholars with long robes, wide sleeves, feather fan and crown scarf, showing their elegant literary spirit. The shops next to the road are also related to reading, such as brushes, ink, stationery, and even in the air, there seems to be a faint fragrance of paper and ink floating.

‘The inkstone picker by the Songxi River, the fragrance of paper and ink deep in the famous pavilion’ is about this kind of scene.

Li Ji walked on the street and felt that he was a little out of place with the surrounding environment. It was extremely rare for him to have short coats, fast boots and leggings, and long swords-carrying martial artists. Thinking of his identity as a scholar in Yuezhi Kingdom, he was slightly embarrassed. 'It seems that he had to change his outfits. Now this is too eye-catching, and it is not noticeable...' Li Ji thought of it and did it, and he caught a glimpse of a garment store and plunged in it.

When Li Ji came out of the garment shop, he had a completely new look. A moon-white scribe robe showed a straight body like a steel strip. The only thing that was that he had an ordinary face, a dark complexion, and was still far from being romantic and dashing... He also bought a scribe hat. There was no way. In Cixi, for the convenience of fighting and the habits of his previous life, he shaved his hair short. This was no problem in Cixi, where many ethnic groups live together, but when he walked out of this world, he discovered that the world was Most of them have long hair, which is the same as in ancient times, so they wear a hat to cover it up... He didn't change the fast boots, which is related to life and death. The thick-soled official boots of the literati really affect their body flexibility... The heavy sword cannot be tied to the back, so they have to find a scabbard to tie it around their waists. The heavy sword is too thin and does not match the scabbard at all, so they have to put it... Li Ji looked in the mirror himself. At first glance, he seemed to be a literati, but when he looked closely, he felt a little inappropriate?

Xichang's diet emphasizes clear, fresh, crisp, tender, sweet, and exquisite workmanship. It has some common features with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines in his previous life. Compared with these delicacies that make people's appetite increase, the food in the Shuangcheng area is much simpler. Li Ji walked along the way and tasted it all the way, but he was very happy.

Xichang is very big, and you can't walk many places with your feet. Li Ji has no fixed goals, but he just walks casually. In the evening, he found a restaurant next to the inn and tasted snacks during the day, but now he wants to try the real dishes. Under the introduction of the friend, he ordered a few famous local dishes, including fragrant braised goose, fat liver, green clove fish, rice dumplings, dried shrimps, and when the dishes were served, he couldn't help but secretly complain that the dishes were short and the large plate was small, and the exquisiteness was exquisite, but how could he eat enough? The martial artist was generous intestines and did not lack money, so he ordered four-style dishes, chestnut roast chicken, sugar sauce belly, Xichang meat bones, seaweed tofu, and pot of flower carvings, good wine and good dishes, exotic style, and in a comfortable mood, he only ate Li Ji sour.

Just as he was chewing, a table of guests next to him shouted to waiter to pay the bill. After a few middle-aged men dressed in wealthy clothes, one of them settled the bill, and the other was still polite, "Today I am entertained by Brother Wang, but I am troubled by my brother, but I will wait for the next day. If the child is lucky enough to be selected into the Taoist Palace and enter the cultivation of the Immortal Tower, I will hold a banquet to thank him..."

"Old Li, don't fool me. Who doesn't know how your daughter can't even understand elementary school? How can she be selected into the Taoist Palace? Besides, she will be selected into the Taoist Palace. Can you afford it if you spend money?" Another person revealed the truth... Several people left the restaurant noisy, but Li Ji couldn't eat the wine.

Daogong? Cultivation? Nanli’s accent is not much different from Xichang. Li Ji was sure that he could hear it very clearly. Is there such a channel in Xichang City that can access the high-ranking path of immortal cultivation? He was suspicious and had no taste of food. After using it in a hurry, Li Ji lost the interest in wandering and went back to the inn to rest.

When he entered the guest room, Li Ji thought about it and was very confused. When he thought, could the opportunity he had come to the place where he was seeking for the Dharma at the risk of his life, was it so common in a big city? While he was thinking about it, the waiter pushed the door and sent a pot of hot water. Li Ji subconsciously asked, "Waiter, I'll ask you, do you know where the Dao Palace is in Xichang City?"

The waiter laughed, "Daogong, of course I know, who doesn't know Xichang City... Guests can go to Jibei Street and go straight to the south. A four-story mansion is a big house. It's very eye-catching. You can tell at that time..."

"Do you know what are the obstacles and restrictions when entering and leaving the Taoist Palace? What are the requirements if you go to the Taoist Palace to study?"

"Forgive me, guest, but I don't know about these things. Anyway, that's a place that only nobles in the city can go..." The young man looked confused.
