Chapter 437 Shuyue City

About two hours later, relying on the Shukuchi magic circle to significantly reduce the distance, Wang Zhifan, Yue Mie Long Dao, Zhen Xuzi, and Hua Yangzi all successfully arrived at the boundary of Xuanzhou and arrived at the undoubted core of the place - Shuyue City. .

Xuanzhou is an old site of the Confucian Sect in the Disaster Realm. Apart from outsiders, there are almost only monks practicing Confucianism and Taoism in this place. The Confucian sect has a very strong atmosphere, and Shuyue City is the top priority.

At this time, the four people were flying high in the sky and began to continuously lower their altitude. Below their field of vision, Shuyue City, a majestic Confucian city, had already revealed most of its appearance.

Its overall shape is square, which represents the ideal of "the gentleman is upright" pursued by Confucianism. The architectural layout of the city is similar to "book pavilions" and "peaks and peaks", which perfectly combines the awe-inspiring literary style with the high mountains. Together, it not only reflects the origin of the city's name "Shu Yue", but also cleverly expresses the Confucian ideal of "climbing the peak of books". It can be said that it is completely different from the Tianyuan City style that Wang Zhifan is more familiar with.

"Wuzun, little friend Mie Yue, we can just go straight to Shuyue Pavilion, which is the tallest scroll building in the middle."

The veteran Zhen Xuzi, who was riding the breeze and flying in front, saw the two people behind him coming to the new ground with strange expressions, turning his neck to observe, and then guided them.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for the advice."

Wang Zhifan thanked him in return, and then focused his gaze on the center of the city, which was originally somewhat blind to the scenery of the city below.

There, a building with an overall shape like a huge vertical curly bamboo slip particularly caught his eye, not only because it was the tallest in Shuyue City, but also because it was obviously a peculiar ancient building, but its long cylindrical structure made him I felt a little bit like I was looking at the high-rise buildings in the world of science and technology. I have to say that this sense of déjà vu was very strange.

"It seems that both of you have come to Shuyue City for the first time? Then you should take this opportunity to taste it. The chess, calligraphy and painting produced in Shuyue City are all of the highest quality in the world, as are the fine wines, tea and exquisite jewelry. Not to mention more concessions..."

The fat Taoist Hua Yangzi, who was flying with his sword beside Zhen Xuzi, saw this and said to Wang Zhifan and the other two, introducing them to the characteristics of this place.

"Well, we will definitely not miss this opportunity!"

Wang Zhifan nodded to him, and then, together with the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword, who was flying beside him and silently observing everything below, he followed the two people in front and flew to the huge Shuyue Pavilion.

When they got closer, they discovered that Shuyue Pavilion was indeed very tall, definitely a hundred feet high, and the approximately circular area at the top was at least 10,000 square meters. It was worthy of being called Shuyue Pavilion.

The four people quickly landed on the top of Shuyue Pavilion and found that many people had already gathered in this spacious place, and many of them had very powerful auras. They were apparently super-innate monks similar to Wang Zhifan and the other four. .

"Your Excellency, you are the Sage of Beihai Calligraphers? When I saw you today, you found that your literary power is so vast that it overwhelms Beihai!"

"You've given me the prize for painting the mountain fairy! Compared with the way of painting the mountain fairy that you pioneered, what does my ability mean?"

"Where is it! Sage Sage, you are exaggerating!"

…

"Senior brother, is this the number one Confucian city in the Disaster Realm? It feels a lot worse than Shuyuan in our Confucian Realm."

"Junior sister, it's better that you don't say this kind of thing less. The world of disaster is also a realm that our Confucian sect must protect. What's more, Master is here now. Don't leave a bad impression on him..."

"Hmph! Senior brother, can't I just tell the truth? It's really unbecoming of a gentleman!"

…

"Abbott, we have obviously arrived, but the Confucian sect did not arrange for the appropriate person to receive us. What's the point? Are we treating our Buddhist sect like nothing?"

"Faxin, don't worry. There are a lot of people gathering for this important event, and we are not the only ones like a few monks. It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."

…

Just by listening, Wang Zhifan discovered that there were many experts gathered on the platform at the top of the building. There were experts who lived in seclusion in the wilderness, and there were also experts who came from the upper three realms to support them. They were not even close to Confucianism. Many Buddhist monks came to deal with it, which shows how great the appeal of the Confucian masters is.

"Brother Fan, how about we go shopping somewhere else first? Anyway, the Confucian Sect won't be able to greet so many people for a while."

The young and beautiful Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword suggested to Wang Zhifan beside her that she was a shopping addict exclusively for women.

"Let's wait a little longer... We have plenty of time to come here this time, so there is no need to rush for that time."

Wang Zhifan thought for a while and rejected Long Nu's suggestion. The real reason was that he had sensed the aura of a certain super-innate Confucian who was approaching quickly and didn't want to miss it.

Sure enough, after just two breaths, a young super-innate Confucian with a dignified and elegant appearance led people up to the top of Shuyue Pavilion. It was the Qingfeng layman Wang Zhifan had met a few days ago.

"Dear guests! I have kept you waiting for a long time! Shuyue Pavilion has prepared a rest room for everyone. Please go down with our waiters to have a rest!"

As soon as Lay Qingfeng appeared, he spoke to everyone on the platform with a somewhat apologetic expression, and then quickly dispatched many waiters around him to greet the waiting guests.

Wang Zhifan swept his attention over these waiters and found that all of them were very young and outstanding Confucian men and women, and none of them were flower vases. They were all at high levels of the Xiantian realm, and some of them were suspected of being at the peak of the Xiantian realm.

"Haha, you are worthy of being a Confucian sect with a master in charge... In recent decades, the Confucian sect has been full of talents. I am afraid that many of the top geniuses like Qingfeng layman have been hidden..."

The veteran Taoist Zhen Xuzi, who was holding a handle of Fuchen, was stroking his beard and saying with a smile. It was hard to tell whether he was lamenting the prosperity of the Confucian sect or expressing his jealousy of the many talents in the Confucian sect.

The fat Taoist Hua Yangzi on the side was a little unhappy after hearing this. He immediately responded to Zhenxunzi:

"Why do you care, Fellow Taoist Zhenxu? Our Taoist sect has gained a lot of fame recently? A truly peerless genius like fellow Taoist Master Wu Zun was born in our Taoist sect, and there are many more fledgling super-innate first-level monks. Much better!"

As Hua Yangzi spoke, his eyes glanced at the Dragon Girl's Moon-Destroying Dragon Saber next to Wang Zhifan, and gave Zhen Xuzi a look that needed no words, as if to remind the other party that the geniuses of their Taoist sect were not only powerful in their own right, but also powerful in their own right. He also has the ability to win over young female geniuses from outside to become Taoist companions, which is simply several dimensions higher than those guys from the Confucian sect.

"Ahem, two fellow Taoists, it's better not to talk about this kind of topic."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help being speechless when he saw this. He didn't expect that the Confucian sect coming to pick someone up would involve him, so he quickly spoke out to ask them to stop.

Not long after, a polite young waiter with outstanding temperament came to the four of them. After politely greeting them, he led them towards a corridor at the top edge of Shuyue Pavilion.

As a very large building, Shuyue Pavilion not only has a few corridors, but has set up more than 30 convenient routes. After Wang Zhifan and others were led into one of them by the waiter, they found that this place was not like entering the interior. Ordinary buildings are so simple, because what is connected to the corridor is not a complicated passage, but a huge book page.

The waiter approached the page and said:

"Book boy, please arrange room service for the four distinguished guests."

The person who answered him was not someone, but a line of ink writing that quickly appeared on the page in front of him:

"Four distinguished guests are invited to stay at A fifty-seven, A fifty-eight, A..."

Then the pages in front of them opened up a wide passage like a portal, allowing them to step through.

"This is...a local version of artificial intelligence?"

Wang Zhifan from behind couldn't help but secretly expressed surprise when he saw it, and followed the waiter leading the way in.

Only a few steps after he entered, he discovered something strange, that is, the residences they were assigned to live in were very close to each other. The four of them followed the waiter into the passage and arrived directly without taking many steps.

"No! This is not because our rooms happen to be close to each other, but because the passage opened by the so-called book boy just now has the power of space, and it directly transferred us to the vicinity of our destination!"

Thanks to his super perception, Wang Zhifan immediately figured it out through some fluctuations in the space just now, and knew that this Shuyue Pavilion was definitely not simple and had the ability of a high-level magic weapon.

On the contrary, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword and the two Taoists around him didn't seem to care much about this. They probably had similar experiences in other places.

"Dear guests, this is your residence during the conference. If you have any needs, you can contact me through the book boy. If you want to go out for a walk, the book boy can also arrange it directly. The staff is not yet available. The conference is expected to be held at noon tomorrow..."

The waiter bowed and left after introducing the general service, leaving Wang Zhifan and others to arrange their own affairs.

"Pindao and fellow Taoist Zhenxu will stay in the other two rooms, and the two adjacent rooms on this side will be given to the two young people."

The fat Taoist Hua Yangzi immediately began to discuss the room allocation. He understood this aspect very well and took the initiative to let Wang Zhifan and the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword live next to each other, while he and the old Taoist Zhenxunzi stayed far away to avoid becoming light bulbs.

"Thank you two fellow Taoists for helping me!"

Wang Zhifan did not give in. He really wanted to live with the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword.

However, Long Dao didn't seem to be thinking about this matter. She walked to the poem pages hanging on the wall and asked:

"Shu boy, has Mie Yue Aotian come to this pavilion?"

Writing quickly appeared on the page:

"It has not arrived yet."

"Then please open the way out. Brother Fan and I are going out."

The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword spoke again.

"The exit is open."

As writing appeared on the page, a portal made of ink and wash appeared at the end of the passage they were in. The bustling scene of Shuyue City could be seen in the portal.

Then, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword took Wang Zhifan's hand and walked over. Wang Zhifan naturally couldn't disobey, so he and she left Shuyue Pavilion through the gate.

As soon as the two people came out and appeared on the street next to Shuyue Pavilion, the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword spoke to Wang Zhifan and said:

"It's better outside. The inside of Shuyue Pavilion is not as interesting as your Black Tower. How about we just live outside?"

It turned out that this woman was not used to the closed environment of Shuyue Pavilion, so she wanted to come out.

"Let's talk about this after the conference starts... Let's go walk around first."

Wang Zhifan felt that Confucianism had a special purpose in arranging to stay in Shuyue Pavilion, such as promptly informing the conference of the situation, so he did not agree directly.

After hearing this, Long Dao didn't say anything more. The two of them then wandered around Shuyue City. After all, it was their first time to visit this big city. They had to experience the scenery here, otherwise when the war started, this place would become It’s hard to say anything.

In this way, they spent the next hour walking around the bustling Shuyue City, eating snacks and drinking tea from time to time, listening to storytellers in roadside libraries explaining the disaster, or watching Confucian scholars compete in poems in the street. Literary talent, really relaxed for a while.

In the past few days, Wang Zhifan basically spent all his time in cultivation except for managing his disciples. He had no free time at all. He decided to give himself only this leisure opportunity. After this time, he would have to return to the rhythm of cultivation. Otherwise, when the war started, he might not be able to complete the established cultivation plan.

"Sister Long Dao, these hairpins are very suitable for you. Let's take them all."

At this time, Wang Zhifan accompanied Long Dao to choose jewelry on a street selling women's valuables. He used part of the silver money allocated to him by Tianyuan City for Wu Zun Hall here in accordance with the principle of using money quickly.

This was not only to make Mieyue Long Dao happy, but also because he knew that the war was coming, and the business of this world would definitely be greatly affected. At that time, it might be difficult to spend money, so it was better to make the most of it.

Just as the two were shopping leisurely, a young man and woman happened to come to them to choose jewelry.

The young man was a Confucian scholar wearing a silver-white loose Confucian robe and a black scholar's hat, and the young woman looked like a rich lady, dressed in a golden and jade leaf with nobleness. The two were intimate, definitely a couple.

Their combination was not so special, just one of the crowd in this bustling city, but Wang Zhifan noticed them quickly because he recognized the young man among them.

"Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"

He suddenly greeted the young scholar who was focusing on his female companion. The other party didn't notice him at first, but turned around when he heard him speak, and then showed a surprised look on his face.

"Your Excellency... is... Taoist Master Wang?!"

"Haha! It seems that Mr. Zhang has not forgotten me, which is really rare! Let me introduce you, this is my Taoist partner Mieyue..."

"Nice to meet you! Taoist Master Wang, this is my newly married wife. If I had known that Mr. Wang was here, I would have invited you two to drink together..."

It turned out that this young man was the first native Wang Zhifan met in this world, a young scholar named Zhang Siqian. I didn't expect that he had already married after not seeing him for a while. It seemed that they were very affectionate.

Wang Zhifan had never thought that he would see this native again, so he stopped and talked to him for a few more words, sharing the surprise of the reunion.
