Chapter 5 Li Qingye
Under the Longtu Dynasty, there were mountains, rivers, forests and swamps. The vast land and rich resources created a prosperity.
Cities stand on the land of the dynasty, witnessing the vicissitudes of the years.
Jiangyu City is one of the many cities. It is located on the banks of the Shenyu River. It is a city dominated by trade. Of course, the prosperity of trade does not mean that the force is low. On the contrary, it needs a strong force to guard the navigation.
Jiang Yucheng has a population of more than 10 million, and the various forces of the family and gang are intricately intertwined, and the interests of which are enough to make ordinary people rack their brains and find it difficult to sort out. No bones left and no idea what happened.
Fortunately, although the forces are intricate, the intertwining between them has maintained a balance, at least on the surface, it is a peaceful and friendly appearance.
Although Wang Yaorong has traveled far and wide, he has given Chen Zong a deeper understanding of the Longtu Dynasty, but he doesn't know much about the situation in one city and one city.
After inquiring and talking, Chen Zong finally decided to go to Qingye Sword Hall.
New arrivals, you need a suitable place to stay. Inns and restaurants are a choice, but not the best choice. After all, you need to integrate into this place, and you need to have more understanding. Furthermore, the cultivation of Jin Jingjing is still too weak after all.
For example, when Nan Shuntian or Qing Chen went out to practice, they still needed to be protected by a strong enough force, otherwise they would be easily killed.
Qingye Sword Hall is located in the middle of Jiangyu City North Street.
There are four vermilion characters on the plaque - Green Leaf Sword Hall.
Chen Zong stared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he could vaguely appreciate the sharpness of the sword from the four characters, which seemed to contain profound sword principles.
Knock on the door, and soon someone will open the door.
"Who are you?" With a tender voice and curious eyes, this is a small child. Chen Zong is estimated to be ten years old: "Did you come to learn swords?"
"I'm looking for the owner of Qingye Pavilion." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Please come in first." The child asked Chen Zong to come in first.
There are more than a dozen people practicing swords in the front yard, all of them seem to be in their teens. Although the swordsmanship is ordinary in Chen Zong's eyes, the foundation is good and quite stable.
The arrival of Chen Zong did not cause them to pay too much attention, and he didn't even look at them, all immersed in their own swordsmanship.
"What are you looking for with the owner?" The child brought a middle-aged man with a serious face and a low voice, but the brilliance in his eyes seemed to penetrate Chen Zong.
"Senior, please also inform the owner of Qingye Pavilion that the person who was invited yesterday came to visit."
"You sit in the hall for a while, I'll go to ask for your attention." After the middle-aged man stared at Chen Zong for a few times, the other party's breath was completely restrained, and it was difficult to feel the other party's cultivation level, and then heard the other party's words, if Thinking about it, let the child take Chen Zong into the living room, while he walked behind the sword hall.
"Big brother, do you know the owner of the pavilion?" the child in the broad sword robe asked in a tender voice.
"I've met once." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Really?" The child expressed doubts: "The owner of the museum is a strong pseudo-transcendent. It is said that he can be ranked in the top three in Jiangyu City. Big brother, you can meet the owner of the museum."
"It's a coincidence." Chen Zong said with a smile.
"Then sit down for a while, and I'll bring you some tea," the child said.
"Little brother, welcome to Qingye Sword Hall." A gentle voice sounded, Li Qingye walked into the living room with a gentle smile on his back.
"Senior, I offended a lot yesterday, please also ask Haihan." Chen Zong stood up and saluted.
"You and I have never known each other before, so why would you offend me?" Li Qingye said with a smile, motioning for Chen Zong to sit down, and he sat down with him. After the child bowed to Li Qingye, his eyes glanced at Chen Zong with curiosity, and he retired. .
"What's the little brother's name? Where did it come from?" Li Qingye asked.
"The surname is Chen Mingzong, from the Yunlong Dynasty, and I have seen the senior." Chen Zong saluted again.
"The Yunlong Dynasty is one of the three major dynasties opposite Shen Yujiang." Li Qingye said: "It is indeed extraordinary that a small dynasty can produce such arrogance as Brother Chen Zong."
"Senior has won the prize." Chen Zong said, and sat down again.
"Little brother is curious about why I invited you to the Sword Hall." Li Qingye didn't beat around the bush, and didn't make a fool of himself: "Little brother is new here, maybe he doesn't have an intuitive understanding of the Longtu Dynasty."
"I also ask the seniors for advice." Chen Zong said, Wang Yaorong said a lot, but Wang Yaorong is a true martial artist after all, while Li Qingye is a pseudo-transcendent, which gives Chen Zong the feeling that he is stronger than the master who is near the mountain. Different species, different levels, different levels of contact, and naturally different views and understandings of some things.
"The land under our feet has a common name... Longtuyu."
"The Longtu Domain is one of the domains of the Canglan Continent and is under the jurisdiction of the Longtu Dynasty."
"Canglan Continent...Longtuyu..." Chen Zong repeated in a low voice, as if another door had opened in front of him, which was exactly what Wang Yaorong didn't say.
"Hundreds of years ago, Longtuyu was not called Longtuyu, but another name. There were many powerful soldiers in the Longtu Dynasty, which swept the entire territory, causing all forces to bow their heads."
"Under the whole world, there is no emperor's land, so this domain was renamed the Dragon Map domain."
Chen Zong couldn't help nodding when he heard the words. This is what the strength brought. If the Longtu Dynasty did not have the strength to make all the forces bow their heads, how could they change the name of a domain.
"The Longtu Dynasty made great efforts to govern, and divided the Longtu domain into eight palaces, and Jiangyu City belonged to Tianjiangfu, one of the eight palaces."
"In Tianjiang Mansion, there are four major forces, namely Tianshui Pavilion, Zhenyang Sect, Zongheng Jianzong, and Aomei Villa. These four major forces can also be included in the lower-rank sect level on the vast Canglan Continent."
"Low-end sects?" Chen Zong wondered: "Dare to ask the seniors, how are the sects divided?"
"Canglan Continent divides the sect power into several grades. The low grade is the lowest, followed by the middle grade, and then the high grade. Above the high grade, there are higher grades, but that is too far away." Li Qingye smiled. , did not continue.
"Tianjiang Mansion only has these four low-rank sect-level forces. As for the Longtu Dynasty, it is also a kind of sect-level force in essence, but its rank is high-rank."
"Low-grade...high-grade..." Chen Zong was surprised.
Although Li Qingye didn't say how to define the sect's grade, the gap must be obvious.
"The division of sect grades is related to the level of the transcendent realm. This is too far from you and me. It is useless to talk about it, but I can only affirm that if a high-rank sect-level force wants to destroy a lower-rank sect-level force, it will be a snap of your fingers. ." Li Qingye's words shocked Chen Zong.
In the blink of an eye, this was too scary, and immediately, there was an indescribable and inexplicable excitement.
"In this Longtu Dynasty, the only high-rank sect-level forces are the Longtu Royals, while there are as many as four middle-rank forces. You will know in the future."
"In addition to being the owner of the Qingye Sword Museum, I am also the outer door elder of the Zongheng Jianzong." Li Qingye said.
Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up, and the mystery in his mind seemed to have been answered in an instant, why this Li Qingye would take the initiative to invite him.
"It seems that the little brother has already guessed." Li Qingye said with a smile: "Yes, my purpose is to invite the little brother to become a disciple of the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect."
Chen Zong was still thinking and did not rush to answer.
Undoubtedly, coming to the Longtu Dynasty is a very correct choice, because the martial arts level of this Longtu Dynasty is indeed much higher than the three dynasties, and there are sect-level forces that are consistent throughout the continent. Of course, if you want to count , Yunlong Dynasty can actually be regarded as a low-rank sect-level force.
Here, there are not only numerous low-rank sect-level forces, but also four middle-rank sect-level forces, and even a high-rank sect-level force.
Under normal circumstances, it is natural that the higher the rank, the deeper the power and the stronger the strength. If you become its disciple, you may be able to enjoy better resources and inheritance. Of course, the competition will also be greater.
"Little brother, I see that you performed well yesterday, your combat power, you should break the limit of training strength and reach a seven-star level. This kind of talent is extraordinary, and you are qualified to become a disciple of the middle-rank sect-level forces. As for the high-rank sect. There is also great hope for high-level forces." Li Qingye said sincerely: "However, in the Longtu Dynasty, only the Longtu royal family is a high-rank sect-level force. In order to ensure the orthodoxy of the royal family, the Longtu royal family often does not recruit disciples with foreign surnames. If some talented people want to enter the Dragon Map Royal Family, they must change their surnames and swear their loyalty to the Dragon Map Royal Family forever."
Hearing Li Qingye's words, Chen Zong's expression changed slightly, putting an end to the idea of becoming a disciple of the Longtu royal family.
Change of surname is not acceptable.
The oath of allegiance for eternity is unacceptable.
"As for the four major middle-rank sect-level forces, Tianjiang Mansion does not have them. At the speed of a little brother, if you want to reach the nearest middle-rank sect-level force, I'm afraid it will take half a year. There are difficulties and obstacles along the way, various crises, Whether it will arrive smoothly or not is still unknown.”
Chen Zong couldn't help nodding, Li Qingye didn't have to deceive himself, because these things will be known in the future.
"My Zongheng Sword Sect, although it is only a low-rank sect-level force, has a very deep background, because hundreds of years ago, Zongheng Jianzong was a middle-rank sect-level force, and it was only because of some changes that the sect's combat power was damaged. It's been a terrible loss, and it's still difficult to recover from the fall." Li Qingye sighed, and there was a sense of pity in his words.
"Little brother, I'm just inviting you, I don't mean to force you, you can choose by yourself, no matter how you choose, I won't interfere." Li Qingye said: "However, if you choose Vertical and Horizontal Sword Sect, I will recommend Sect for you. The identity of Men Jianzi allows you to get the best training."
Although he is very optimistic about Chen Zong and wants to make Chen Zong a disciple of Zonghengjianzong, he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be forced, otherwise it will only bury dissatisfaction in the other party's heart. It's definitely not a good thing to come out.
