Chapter 1976: The Copper Pillar State

At first, Uncle Qi was very wary of Xiao Hua, and was even more aggressive towards Xiao Jian. However, after several contacts, Xiao Jian stayed away from Uncle Qi. Except for Yuan Ya who sometimes came to Xiao Jian to "pay his respects", only Qi Jin often chatted with Xiao Jian! In short, Xiao Jian was very lonely along the way, even on pins and needles, as if there was a pair of eyes behind him that wanted to see through him. Now that he had the opportunity to get rid of these eyes, how could he not cherish it?

When Xiao Hua and others said goodbye to everyone, the one who was reluctant to leave was You Chongquan. Xiao Hua was so good to him. Not only did he give him a lot of spiritual dates, he even got a formula for fasting from Liu Yi! With You Chongquan's intelligence, how could he not know that this was Xiao Hua's tacit consent? If Xiao Hua was not a Taoist monk, You Chongquan almost thought that Xiao Hua wanted to take him in as a disciple! He even had the idea that Xiao Hua's daughter was growing up!

Looking at You Chongquan and Liu Yi hugging each other and saying goodbye, Xiao Hua smiled. Now that he met You Chongquan again, would he let him slip away? He was just a family of Confucianists. When his cultivation was restored, he didn't need to do anything else. He just needed to give You Chongquan a pair of ranger wings. Wouldn't You Chongquan follow him obediently?

"Huang Yi, Huang Yi..." Xiao Hua turned his head and looked into the depths of the sky. "I don't know where you are, whether it's the Netherworld or the Dawn Rain Continent; I also don't know if this You Chongquan is the You Chongquan you mentioned, but I can meet him, that's fate. I have benefited a lot from you, and I will let him take care of this cause and effect in the future. If you have a spirit in the nine heavens..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Hua suddenly laughed. If Huang Yi had a spirit in the nine heavens, he would have been furious, right? You Chongquan's young lady... turned out to be the descendant of the great Confucianist surnamed Chang! Not Huang Yi!!!

Xiao Jian finally came back to life, no longer lifeless as before, riding his horse beside Xiao Hua and whispering something, with a smile on his face and respect. He now understands that Xiao Hua is definitely an unfathomable Taoist senior! Not the spy he thought at the beginning. And this unfathomable is really unfathomable, not just the kind he usually perfunctorily treats others. But. After walking for more than ten days, the surrounding scenery gradually changed. There were more and more low houses and villages with curling smoke, and even the main road was flat and wide. Xiao Jian still didn't mention any spiritual dates, as if he had never seen them. Every once in a while, he asked Yuan Ya to find some food for him and enjoy it alone! Even his past and abandoned Taoist cultivation were not mentioned at all. This stubbornness made Xiao Hua admire him very much, and some of the previous hatred was also reduced. In fact, people are very complicated and multifaceted. No matter what Xiao Jian's character is. He will always have some advantages.

After another ten days, Xiao Hua and others came to a big city! But they saw that the big city was more than ten feet high, and the city walls were all made of several feet of blue stone bricks. There were some mottled brown and black colors or some dark green mosses in the gaps between the stone bricks. The whole city wall was not particularly straight, and there were many pits on the brick surface. The pits were large and small. The big ones were several feet in radius and covered several large stones. The small ones were the size of a thumb and several inches deep. There were hair-thin cracks between these pits. In addition to the thick brown-black color accumulated in the gaps between the stone bricks, the pits of the whole city wall also precipitated this color, which looked heavy!

Especially,

In this dusk. The darkness was unveiled from the ground and reflected on the city wall. The light and dark and the light and shadow were like a sad note spread on the city wall.

On the city wall, there are so many flags that stretch for miles that you can't see the end at a glance. The flag poles are as thick as a bowl and about ten feet high. The flags on the flag poles are also several feet in size. There are totems such as birds and beasts painted on them, and huge copper pillars and words such as "Xu" are written on them. These flags flutter in the strong wind, as if there is a feeling of golden drums beating together. And with the sound of "dong dong dong" beating drums, and the change of guards on the city wall, wearing armor and holding weapons, running rapidly along the city wall, it makes people have the illusion of war.

"Daddy... Our capital is so high!" A childish voice sounded from Xiao Hua's side. Xiao Hua moved his eyes away from the big city. It was a childish child about three years old riding on the neck of a strong man, shouting in surprise.

"Yes! Niu'er, this is the capital of my Tongzhu Kingdom! It is also what Daddy told you before, the capital that could not be conquered even with the joint attack of 40,000 soldiers from the Three Kingdoms!" The strong man said in a loud voice.

"I know!" The child replied in a crisp voice, "They surrounded our capital for ten days and nights but could not attack the city wall. In the end, our king led a large group of troops to rescue the capital, and defeated the enemy with 8,000 troops, and they fled!"

"Look, the traces on the city wall were all smashed with stones back then! Those stones are like falling rain, and only the city and soldiers of my Tongzhu Kingdom can withstand such a fierce attack!" The strong man said, looking up at the soldiers running back and forth on the city wall, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that there is a war again now, otherwise Daddy can take you to the city wall to have a look!"

"It's okay, Daddy, when I grow up, I will join the army! At that time, I will personally defend on the city wall..." The child said very seriously.

"Haha, yes, this is the child of my Tongzhu Kingdom! Daddy is waiting for the day when you are on duty in the capital!" The man laughed and carried the child towards the city gate which was several meters in size.

"Heh heh..." Xiao Jian smiled coldly, "The Copper Pillar Country is very militious, and the capital is nothing more than that!"

"Master Xiao is right!" Liu Yi stood up on the carriage and said with a smile, "I have been to the capitals of several countries before, but the city of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is not the tallest and largest!"

Yes, this city is certainly more than ten feet high, but among the Tongmu City, Xuntian City, etc. that Xiao Hua has seen, which one is not ten times as high as this city? Such a small town in this world really cannot fall into his eyes. However, the mottled marks on the city wall are probably made of blood and meat sauce, which can't help but make Xiao Hua sigh.

As for Yuan Ya, maybe there is no city wall in his eyes!

"Xiao Jian, doesn't this city have a name?" Xiao Hua frowned as he looked at the huge words "Bronze Pillar Kingdom" on the city gate.

"Chief Immortal..." Xiao Jian said with a smile, "The rules of the countries in the Hidden Immortal Continent are that the capital city has no name, only the name of the country. On the contrary, other cities have their own names!"

"Oh, that means this capital city is originally the Copper Pillar Kingdom?" Xiao Hua smiled, this custom is really interesting!

"Yes!" Xiao Jian held his hand and said, "The leader of the Tongzhu Kingdom lives in this capital, and the palace of the Tongzhu Kingdom is also in it, as are all the civil and military officials, etc. All we need to do is capture the capital. , the Copper Pillar Kingdom fell, and it is normal to say that this capital is the Copper Pillar Kingdom..."

"There are rivers around the capital... Are they used to protect the city?" Xiao Hua pointed his hand again and frowned, "Is this kind of defense useful?"

"Immortal Haojiao knows that this is called a moat!" Xiao Jian explained, "The moat can separate the city from the enemy's cavalry and heavy infantry to avoid facing the enemy directly. And there are many rivers seen in this moat. Some are poisonous water, and some are fire water. It is not easy to pass through this moat. The moat of the Copper Pillar Kingdom is relatively wide, and ordinary catapults cannot approach it. It is said that the huge rocks are still powerless when they reach the city wall. There are man-eating fish and beasts. When the Three Kingdoms besieged the city, thousands of people died in the moat..."

"Actually..." Xiao Hua hesitated and said, "This moat is nothing in Xiao's eyes! Xiao remembers that you once said that the Confucian cultivators of this Bronze Pillar Kingdom should be in charge of the kingship. Confucian cultivators have countless means. This moat... ...The effect it can have is limited! Just like the so-called siege of the Three Kingdoms, as long as someone flies up to attack, the city will be broken soon?"

"Haha, Immortal Chief!" Xiao Jian said with a smile, "This Bronze Pillar Country is run by a family of Confucian cultivators, but this family of Confucian cultivators does not necessarily rule this country! There are even several other countries! Between these countries The Confucian cultivator family will not care about the war! Moreover, even if there is a war between different countries, the Confucian cultivator family behind the scenes will bear the brunt, not the city! As long as these Confucian cultivator families have agreements and compromises with each other. , there will be no talk of siege! Only when the Confucian cultivator family cannot coordinate, there will be an siege! Even if the strength of the two Confucian cultivators is equal, there will be a war with the man just now. The so-called Three Kingdoms Siege, as far as the younger generation knows, is that there are three smaller Confucian cultivator families who want to replace the Confucian cultivator family named "Xu". Only then can the three families and the Three Kingdoms unite to attack the Tongzhu Kingdom. As for the end, hey, it seems! It was the Xu family who invited another great scholar to calm down the war. As for the man who said that the king sent his troops to save the city, he was a master of lies!"

"Well, I understand!" Xiao Hua nodded slightly, "When the things in this world reach the ears of ordinary people, how can there be any truth?"

While I was talking, I saw a group of children running out of the city gate with small lanterns in their hands, shouting happily. These lanterns are all made of blue lotus leaves, and the place where the light shines is either Square or oval, but they are all painted in blue and white, making the whole lantern look like a lotus. When Xiao Jian saw this scene, he was stunned and sighed: "Oh, today is actually the Ghost Festival! Time flies so fast!"

"Hungry Ghost Festival?" Xiao Hua naturally didn't understand what the Ghost Festival was, but he didn't ask too much. After all, he didn't know that the Copper Pillar Country was okay. It was just that he had been practicing for a long time and was no longer in the world. It was nothing. . If you don't even know the usual festivals, then there will be a problem with Xiao Hua's origin. Xiao Hua didn't want others to be suspicious. (To be continued.
