After bidding farewell to Lingqi who was about to patrol the border again.
Watching him raise his hand, he released the huge golden eagle and flew away through the air.
Mr. Shang and his party crossed the border between Ling and Zhu and headed for Lingqiu City, the capital of Ling Kingdom.
There they will be tested, and the Spiritual Council will then determine how to house them based on the results of the tests.
As soon as Fang entered the territory of Ling Kingdom, Mr. Shang could clearly feel an aura that was very different from that of Zhu Kingdom.
If Zhu Guo is an old man who is about to die, then Ling Guo is a young man who is full of vitality.
There is an upward and good spirit everywhere here.
Every person from Lingguo I met looked very confident, with smiles on their faces.
They were treated with no contempt at all, as a group of foreigners.
On the contrary, after learning about their situation, he warmly entertained them to wash away their travel dust and showed them the path to the capital.
Moreover, Mr. Shang also discovered that there is a special place in Lingguo.
That is, no matter men, women, old or young, they all wear a piece of jade.
Men's jade pendants, women's jade pendants, children's jade locks, etc., made him feel very novel. .
He had been to Lingguo before, but he didn't know when Lingguo had so much jade.
You know, at this time, jade is not an ordinary object.
It not only represents wealth, but also is a ritual vessel used to worship gods and a symbol of dignity.
It's not something ordinary civilians can have.
After walking for another half day, everyone also saw the city walls of Lingqiu City, the capital of Ling Kingdom.
I saw that it was leaning on a long ridge eight miles long, and the three-foot-high city wall was carved from a huge piece of bluestone.
Not a single crack can be seen, just like sapphire.
The city tower towers above it, and the flying cavalry that I have seen before are patrolling in the sky.
The two-foot-high city gate is guarded by tall warriors on both sides.
After entering the city gate, there was a lively scene inside.
They saw with their own eyes that as the light flashed in the hands of several people, a pair of mud and sand turned into an exquisite bluestone house.
This sight made them stunned and amazed.
At the same time, the phenomenon of wearing jade became more obvious in Lingqiu City.
On the streets, both men and women are wearing jade rings and jade ornaments of various colors.
"Old man, I see that most people on the street wear jade. Do you have any advice?"
Out of curiosity, Mr. Shang stopped an elder in brocade robes and asked.
"The king said that our spiritual country is the country of the jade god. Jade can communicate with the gods, so wearing more jade can gain the blessings of the gods."
The elder raised a crystal clear topaz gourd in his hand and said with a smile.
"Did you see that our country's gentleman has a jade gourd artifact that looks like this?
Junziji relied on that artifact to protect our Ling Kingdom from the danger of the Qi Kingdom's destruction. "
Now he told everyone about his original idea of using the Yuansha gourd to protect Lingqiu City, slightly refining it.
Hearing Fern, Ren Jie and other children exclaim in surprise.
Seeing everyone's expressions, the elder left with satisfaction.
Follow the avenue directly to the original Lingqiu City, now in front of the Lingguo Palace.
"Situ Shangqing!"
The guard guarding the door saluted him.
"Um!"
This person was Yan Ru. After entering the palace, he turned left and right to a jade platform.
Gu Jiao
Looking at the ten-foot-tall jade platform in front of him, he sighed secretly.
If it weren't for the method taught by Your Majesty, I would be almost exhausted from climbing up and down every day.
He thought to himself, but without hesitation, he stepped up the steps.
At the same time, looking down, half a year has passed since you went to the Lingtai to select talents.
With the help of many talented people, Lingguo's appearance has already changed drastically.
The most obvious one is Lingqiu City. Originally a small city with a circumference of only more than ten miles, it has expanded several times.
The old city originally built on Lingqiu was renovated by Sikong Mansion and became the new sub-city as the palace of Lingguo.
Then, along the two ends of the eight-mile-long Changling, the city wall was expanded five miles south to include the general camp and the academy as the new outer city.
Except for a few villages far away on the border, all nearby villages have moved into the new city.
He subconsciously picked up the jade gourd and played with it in his hands.
After the opening of the Xuexue Palace, the emperor ordered people to open up a jade mine in the lonely mountain in the north of the city.
I don’t know if it was created by your Majesty through mysterious means, or if it already existed but was discovered by your Majesty.
Anyway, since then, your Majesty has asked him to organize a jade medal system.
And ordered all the people in the country to wear jade.
After the emperor opened his own palace, he built such a high platform on the already tall Lingqiu.
It is said that the essence of the three treasures of the sun, moon and stars must be collected to condense the three rays of heaven.
Although he didn't know what the use was, since then, the Lord has stayed at the observatory every day.
If there's nothing serious, I basically won't come down.
But there was really an important thing for him to come here this time.
When he reached the top of the platform, he saw only verandas built on three sides, and only a thin small hall on the north side.
There is a nine-foot-tall altar in the middle courtyard, with a spiritual flag waving above it, condensing the sunlight in the sky and forming a sunrise sky.
This is the altar used by Lingqing to collect the Sanyao Tiangang, combine it with the Sanyao Star Evil, and worship the Sanyao Divine Light.
At this time, he was on the verandah to the south, looking down.
At this time, Mr. Shang and others were heading to the National People's Government, where they had to complete their household registration.
After they completed their household registration, the clerk in charge of receiving them said again.
"You go to the spiritual platform for testing first, and then when the arrangements are finalized, come here to get your certificates.
That is, this kind of private seal engraved with your respective names. "
As he spoke, he picked up a jade seal that was six inches wide and one inch and two inches long.
Mr. Shang, Ren Bi, Miao and others couldn't help being surprised. Although they were very envious of being able to wear jade when they were on the street.
But they didn't expect that those who had just joined the Ling Kingdom would receive a piece of jade as a gift.
After thanking him with a face of joy, he went to the spiritual platform for testing with full hope.
The results are also gratifying.
Not to mention that Mr. Shang, Zhuang and others all gained something and were given the status of citizens of Lingguo.
Ren Jie and Fern were two children with good talents. In addition to being immediately admitted to the palace to study, they also each obtained the status of a scholar.
A clerk who was guarding the mourning platform first congratulated them and then took them to go through the enrollment procedures for their children.
when they complete their household registration.
In Ling Qing's eyes, a jade-white aura rose from above their heads.
Floating into the mid-air, he disappeared directly into a piece of auspicious clouds.
This auspicious cloud is as white and pure as mutton-fat jade, but it does not block any light at all.
The entire territory of the Spiritual Kingdom is shrouded in it.
