#14: Imperial Capital

Across high mountain ridge, the plain high ground, bypasses the innumerable county cities, half a month later Luo Zheng came arrived Imperial Capital finally. 穿过崇山峻岭,平原高地,绕过无数的郡城,在半个月后罗征终于来到了帝都。 Luo Zheng thinks, Lofty Sun County in all prefectures and counties was not a small town, when Luo Zheng stood in the Imperial Capital entrance, is looking up to dozens zhang (3.33 m) high golden city gate, his mouth or stretch/open eldest child. 罗征以为,崇阳郡在所有的郡县之中也不算小城了,可是当罗征站在帝都的门口,仰望着几十丈高的黄金城门,他的嘴巴还是张的老大。 Even in various types of books, can the utmost the exaggeration, praised the greatness of Imperial Capital, Luo Zheng to Imperial Capital great and luxurious still had the psychological preparation, when he visited Imperial Capital for the first time, hick who just entered a city like, by deep shock. 就算各种书籍里面,极尽所能的夸大,赞美帝都的伟岸,罗征对帝都的宏大与奢华也有了心理上的准备,但是当他第一次踏足帝都,还是像个刚刚进城的土包子一样,被深深的震撼。 Actually Imperial Capital many view Luo Zheng has looked from the books, in the books records detailed incomparable, defers to the drawing of scenery tracing to have. 其实帝都的不少景致罗征都从书本上看过,书本上记载的详细无比,就连按照景物临摹的图画都有。 For example at present this golden city gate, this golden city gate named Above Sky Gate, 36 ten feets in height, width nine zhang (3.33 m). 例如眼前这座黄金城门,这座黄金城门名叫望天门,高36丈,宽九丈。 30 years ago demon race's Princess Qi and Burning Sky Dynasty's Crown Prince is related through marriage, this Above Sky Gate is the dowry that Princess Qi had initially. 三十年前魔族的戚公主与焚天王朝的太子通婚,这座望天门是戚公主当初带过来的嫁妆。 Seeing something once better than hearing hundred times, when Luo Zheng saw that with the fine gold with the golden city gate that various types of gems build, understands Princess Qi this dowry the meaning: In our demon race eye, your Eastern Region human race is a poor person. 百闻不如一见,当罗征看到用精金与各种宝石打造的黄金城门,才明白戚公主这件嫁妆的含义:在我们魔族眼中,你们东域人类都是穷人。 Passes through from Above Sky Gate, Luo Zheng walks on the Imperial Capital main road, appreciates both sides various types of sceneries all the way, the one who bears all the responsibilities makes the hundred zhang (333 m) high is flaminging a day of pavilion, palatial huge Land Dragon altar/jar, various flying carriage car(riage) shuttle in which...... 从望天门穿过去,罗征走在帝都的主道上,一路上欣赏着两旁各种景物,一柱擎天高约百丈的炽天阁,巍峨庞大的地龙坛,各种飞天辇车穿梭其中…… These sceneries passed over gently and swiftly in the Luo Zheng line of sight in a hurry, Azure Clouds Sect that he most cares about. 这些景物匆匆在罗征视线中掠过,他最关心的还是青云宗。 Only after some asking around, spent day of time, across most Imperial Capital, Luo Zheng looks for arrived Azure Clouds Sect's to be at finally. 经过多方打听,花费了一天时间,穿过大半个帝都,罗征终于找到了青云宗的所在。 Huge Azure Clouds Sect, almost occupied 1/4 Imperial Capital area, wants big several times compared with the area that Imperial City occupies, this has not included Azure Clouds Mountain Range that behind Azure Clouds Sect continues. 巨大的青云宗,几乎占据了四分之一的帝都面积,比皇城占据的面积还要大数倍,这还不包括青云宗背后绵延不断的青云山脉。 Compares noble air boundless Above Sky Gate, Azure Clouds Sect's sect seems on mean-spirited many, except for „Azure Clouds Sect” that three bold side unyielding three large characters, basically does not have other good points, the big tree of all around shallot covers, the azure vine occupies, appears ancient intent abundant. 相比贵气无边的望天门,青云宗的宗门显得就小气的很多,除了“青云宗”那三个挥斥方遒的三个大字,基本没有其他可取之处,四周青葱的大树笼罩,还有青藤盘踞,显得古意盎然。 sect side, the two teams are lining up to register. 宗门的旁边,正有两支队伍在排队报名。 Left that only then more than ten people, but the right that team queues, that long line winds to circle, does not look at to the end, it is estimated that more than over a thousand people unexpectedly. 左边的那一支,只有缪缪十多人,而右边的那一支队伍则排成了长龙,那长龙蜿蜒盘旋,竟然一眼望不到头,估计不下上千人。 Team that Luo Zheng straight from arrives at left that population, because the person are quite few, before long lets turn arrived Luo Zheng. 罗征径自走到左边的那条人数缪缪的队伍,由于人比较少,不一会让就轮到了罗征。 The reception person who is responsible for registering, sized up Luo Zheng, extends take action to say toward him: „Please take your upper class document.” 负责报名的接待人,打量了一眼罗征,朝他伸出手说道:“请把你的士族文书拿出来。” „upper class document?” On Luo Zheng face stunned. “士族文书？”罗征脸上一阵愕然。 The reception person referred to this table saying: „Me only receives upper class, if you do not have upper class document, please arrange at that side!” Was saying the reception person referred to nearby that long line. 接待人指了指这张桌子说道:“我这边只接待士族,如果你没有士族文书,请排在那边去！”说着接待人指了指旁边那条长龙。 Luo Zheng then understands why here did not have many people to line up, originally was serves for upper class specially. 罗征这才明白,为何这边没多少人排队了,原来是专门为士族服务的。 upper class, is one special class that the Emperor imperial edict seals. 士族,是皇帝敕封的一种特殊阶层。 In the entire empire, few aristocratic family families have the qualifications to be called upper class, moreover these aristocratic family families basically centralized in Imperial Capital. 在整个帝国之中,只有极少数豪门家族才有资格称得上士族,而且这些豪门家族基本都集中在帝都。 Lofty Sun County Luo Family, possibly is not upper class, Luo Zheng naturally cannot certainly put out anything „upper class document”. 崇阳郡罗家,当然不可能是士族,罗征自然拿不出什么“士族文书”。 Sees this, the people in side that long line team exude low and deep laughter, on the face reveal contemptuous look. Lining up indeed is a bored matter, a Luo Zheng this action actually rare laughingstock. 看到这一幕,旁边那条长龙队伍里的人都发出一阵低沉的哄笑声,脸上都流露出轻蔑的神色。排队的确是一件无聊的事,罗征这个举动倒是一个难得的笑料。 „Hick who where comes......” “哪里来的土包子……” „upper class document does not know, this year is really everyone pushes toward Azure Clouds Sect in......” “连士族文书都不知道,这年头真的是什么人都往青云宗内挤……” Harasses the voice of person to these, Luo Zheng had not responded, but nods toward that reception person, in the people contemptuous vision, arrives at end of that long line team. 对这些扰人的声音,罗征没有丝毫反应,只是朝那接待人点了点头,在众人轻蔑的目光中,走到那条长龙队伍的尾端。 The life of two years of house slave, several are saved from death, has made the Luo Zheng's state of mind very smooth, the insignificant provocation and ridiculing, being insufficient makes him angry radically, instead makes him tranquil. 两年家奴的生活,几番死里逃生,早已让罗征的心境变得十分平顺,微不足道的挑衅与奚落,根本不足以让他恼怒,反而让他平静下来。 Slow that the team goes forward, Luo Zheng closed the eye simply, maintains mental tranquility. 队伍前进的很缓慢,罗征干脆闭上了眼睛,养神。 „Are you first time participated in mass examination?” Before long, a sound passes from the Luo Zheng front. “你是第一次来参加海试？”不一会儿,一个声音从罗征前方传过来。 Luo Zheng nods, opened the eye, what speech is a 18 or 19 years old youth, the tone is kind, the appearance is genial. 罗征点点头,才睁开了眼睛,说话的是一位十八九岁的青年,语气和蔼,面目和善。 That youth discovered that Luo Zheng opened the eye, but also shows a faint smile toward Luo Zheng, said: „I was the second time.” 那位青年发现罗征睁开了眼睛,还朝罗征微微一笑,又说:“我是第二次了。” „You just said ‚is mass examination’ what meaning?” Luo Zheng asked that own confusion, Luo Zheng knows Azure Clouds Sect recruits disciple's request to be strict, must through inspect layer upon layer, is qualified for Azure Clouds Institute, but he after all is not the Imperial Capital person, enrolls the flow of disciple regarding Azure Clouds Sect, is actually not very clear. “你刚刚说的‘海试’是什么意思？”罗征问出了自己的困惑,罗征知道青云宗招收弟子的要求非常严格,要通过层层考核,才有资格进入青云学院,不过他毕竟不是帝都人士,对于青云宗录取弟子的流程,却不是十分清楚。 The youth show a faint smile saying: „Azure Clouds Sect as cultivation Holy Land of the world, wants to join person, innumerable, if inspects everyone, even if perhaps invited the person of entire sects, perhaps was unbearably busy, therefore Azure Clouds Sect stipulated, besides the upper class juniors, others must be able to participate in the Azure Clouds Sect's inspection through mass examination.” 青年微微一笑道:“青云宗作为天下的修炼圣地,想要加入其中的人,数不胜数,如果对每个人都进行考核,恐怕就算把全宗的人请来,恐怕都忙不过来,所以青云宗规定,除了士族子弟之外,其他的人要通过海试才能够参与青云宗的考核。” „This my dear friend, this is mass examination what content?” Said that this Azure Clouds Sect is very difficult, now one hear really so, custom unexpectedly so many, actually do not know that Luo Peiran at what price, the unexpectedly direct recruitment is the inner sect juniors. “这位仁兄,请问这海试到底是何内容呢？”都说这青云宗十分难进,现在一听果然如此,规矩竟然这么多,却不知那罗沛然到底是以什么代价,竟然直接招收为内门子弟。 The youth said with a smile: „So-called mass examination, actually us gathers jogs, Azure Clouds Sect stipulated, participates in mass examination lowest realm is Bone Refinement Realm, but Viscera Refinement Realm, Marrow Refinement Realm can also participate, but the request to these realm is also various, for example Bone Refinement Realm only needed to run certain distance to be OK, if were Viscera Refinement Realm, then must run a farther distance......” 青年笑道:“所谓的海试,其实就是将我们聚集在一起跑步,青云宗规定,参加海试最低的境界为炼骨境,不过炼脏境,炼髓境也能够参加,但是对这些境界的要求又各不相同,例如炼骨境只需要跑一定的距离就可以了,倘若是炼脏境,则要跑更远的距离……” Jogs? Luo Zheng blinks, this mass examination sounds is actually not difficult, after all is individual can jog, but after Luo Zheng enters Viscera Refinement Realm, the aura is long, the breath of body coordinated in every way possible, even the far distance can still insist. 只是跑步吗？罗征眨了眨眼,这海试听起来倒是不难,毕竟是个人都能跑步,而罗征进入炼脏境后,气息悠长,身体的呼吸协调入微,就算再远的距离也能够坚持下来。 Knew after request of mass examination, the Luo Zheng's heart decided actually, chatted several with that youth, knows that this youth is called Mo Can, is Imperial Capital little family's juniors. 得知了海试的要求后,罗征的心倒是定了下来,又与那青年聊了几句,知道这青年叫做莫灿,是帝都一个小家族的子弟。 Azure Clouds Sect's mass examination will hold every month one time, Mo Can had been defeated last month one time, this year is second participation. 青云宗的海试每个月都会举行一次,莫灿上个月已经失败过一次,今年已经是第二次参加。 Under chatted, the side that the time crossed was actually quick, unknowingly arranged arrived they. 闲聊之下,时间倒是过的极快,不知不觉就排到了他们。 Luo Zheng after registering own name, from the reception desk with a arrived jade pendant, the Luo Zheng's status information records in this jade pendant. 罗征在登记了自己的姓名后,就从接待处拿到了一枚玉佩,罗征的身份信息就记录在这玉佩中。 Jade pendant cautious putting away, Mo Can said: „Brother Luo Zheng most rest tonight, jogs these two characters sounds like simple, but Azure Clouds Sect's that road is somewhat special, concrete...... and other you will know the day after tomorrow,” Mo Can thinks, said: „I look at Brother Luo Zheng am the outside person, without the dwelling, can go to me to live.” 将玉佩小心翼翼的放好,莫灿说道:“罗征兄今晚最好多休息一番,跑步这两个字听起来似乎简单,但是青云宗的那条路有些特殊,具体的……等后天你就知道了,”莫灿想了想,又说道:“我看罗征兄是外地人士,若是没有住处,可以去我家住。” This Mo Can actually warmhearted person. 这莫灿倒是一个热心人。 However the invitation of Mo Can, Luo Zheng turned down, two years of mortal world changes in temperature make him see clearly many things, the idle work not by the wealth, many things easily do not suspect the person, will not easily believe the person. 不过莫灿的邀请,罗征婉拒了,两年的人间冷暖让他看清楚许多事情,无功不受禄,许多事情不轻易怀疑人,也不会轻易相信人。 At this time, went out of many people from the Azure Clouds Sect gate, most people wore the white long gown, some the fragmentary people were the black long gowns. 就在这时候,从青云宗门走出不少人,其中大部分人都穿着白色的长袍,零零星星有一些人是黑色的长袍。 Saw that Luo Zheng sizes up carefully, Mo Can told Luo Zheng: „These white long gowns, are the Azure Clouds Sect's outer sect disciples, when we crossed mass examination, through the Azure Clouds Sect's inspection, has the qualifications to put on white robe again.” 看到罗征仔细打量,莫灿告诉罗征:“那些白色长袍的,都是青云宗的外门弟子,等到我们过了海试,再通过青云宗的考核,就有资格穿上白袍。” „That black robe?” Luo Zheng asked. “那黑袍呢？”罗征问道。 „black robe? black robe is the inner sect juniors! Position, medicinal pill that can receive every month, are more than white robe! My father gives my goal, puts on black robe, becomes inner sect juniors,” on the face of Mo Can reveals look that yearns for infinitely. “黑袍？黑袍就是内门子弟！无论是地位,还是每个月可以领取的丹药,都比白袍多许多！我爹给我的目标,就是穿上黑袍,成为一位内门子弟,”莫灿的脸上流露出无限向往的神色。 Luo Zheng nods, actually thinks arrived Luo Peiran, that day Luo Junyi in Clan Refinement Day announced that Luo Peiran was enrolled as the inner sect juniors, what reason is this? Difficult to be inadequate that Heaven and Earth Fortune Pill really to have the so mysterious effect, actually made such rapidness of Luo Peiran´s skill advancement? 罗征点了点头,却想到了罗沛然,那日罗俊逸在族炼日宣布罗沛然被录取为内门子弟,这是什么原因？难不成那天地造化丹真的有如此神奇的功效,竟然令罗沛然的功力进境的如此之快？ Is thinking of here, the front has the 6-7 black robe juniors to walk toward here, including person of vision looked at several toward Luo Zheng, on the face shows the strange facial expression: „Luo Zheng! Never expected that you have not died, dares to register unexpectedly, presumptuously thinks to be admitted to Azure Clouds Sect?” 正想到此处,前方却有六七位黑袍子弟朝这边走过来,其中有一人目光朝罗征这边看了几眼,脸上露出怪异的神情:“罗征！没想到你没死,竟然还敢来报名,妄想考取青云宗？” Luo Zheng both eyes concentrate, see clearly that person of appearance, sneers to say at heart, this was skillful, oneself are thinking this person, has not thought this person really appeared before oneself. 罗征双目一凝,看清楚那人的长相,心里冷笑道,这还是巧了,自己想着此人,没想到此人真的出现在自己面前。
