Super System in the Early Tang Dynasty

The heavy snow was terrifying; the world was a vast expanse of white!

The wilderness was deserted, with only thatched huts standing there, deathly silent!

"Squeak-squeak--"

The wind whistled as a horse-drawn carriage came from the south, its wheels crunching on the snow, leaving only two tracks stretching into the distance. Soon, it was covered by swirling white snow.

The carriage creaked and groaned, like an old, frail man, as it slowly made its way forward.

"Crack!"

"What's going on?!" The car door opened, and a cold wind howled into the carriage. A fair-skinned and handsome young man emerged from inside.

"I've stepped into another dark hole, sir, please wait a moment..."

The coachman, wearing a straw raincoat and a thick robe, was inwardly groaning!

If it weren't for the fact that the two distinguished guests in the carriage were truly extraordinary, making it difficult for him to refuse, and that they weren't also very wealthy, he would never have come all this way.

Thinking of the large sum of money, the coachman tightened his lapels, his heart warmed, and all his previous complaints vanished.

Li Qing looked at the busy drivers in front and behind him, tightened his clothes, and cursed inwardly: What a darn weather!

Even if he were to take the slowest train now, Li Qing would be willing—the initial novelty of riding in a horse-drawn carriage for the first time had long since disappeared!

The coachman was very experienced, and before long, some of the carriages, which were already overburdened, were able to resume their journey.

Li Qing sat in the car, leaning against the girl, feeling drowsy, swaying back and forth with the movement of the vehicle...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qing suddenly felt a lightness in his body and rushed forward!

He took a deep breath, his internal energy circulated, and his body immediately became heavy, allowing him to sit cross-legged on the carriage.

Li Qing opened the car door—a cold light flashed before his eyes, and a chilling aura rushed towards him!

Two armored warriors stood in front, clad in gleaming silver helmets, their spears flashing coldly. Their movements were accompanied by a sharp, icy clang, like the horns of death! The two eyes peeking out from beneath their helmets were deep and expressionless.

Li Qing was taken aback—

"These are true warriors who have fought a hundred battles!"

Two armored soldiers looked into the carriage, then stood by the door with their spears. Only then did the coachman return to the carriage and say that they were ready to continue their journey.

Only then did Li Qing realize that he had already arrived at the gates of Luoyang.

The main gate is square and over ten meters high; the city wall extends to the sides into the distance.

Above that is an extremely tall and wide city gate.

In later generations, he had seen many skyscrapers, even those ten times taller than this city gate tower. But for the first time, Li Qing discovered that such ancient and magnificent architecture truly existed in this world!

The thick stone city wall, several dozen feet high and covered with marks of swords and spears, was topped by an even taller, dark city tower. Standing in the shadow of the tower, Li Qing felt as if a massive mountain, carrying an imposing aura, was pressing down on him!

"Ding--"

A sharp metallic clang startled Li Qing back to his senses!

Li Qing was filled with fear, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He glanced gratefully at the armored soldier standing nearby, then looked away and returned to the carriage.

Li Qing didn't notice that the armored soldier, for the first time, removed his mask of indifference, and looked at his retreating figure, lost in thought...

The next day, the weather was perfect; the gloomy sky was broken open, and the sun shone through!

The weather was still very cold, the ice and snow had not melted, and the streets were already full of bustling crowds, which warmed people's hearts!

Li Qing and his companion quickly blended into the crowd, enjoying the lively atmosphere and feeling peaceful and content.

Even Li Linzhi, whose face was clouded by the death of her grandfather, showed a slight smile.

"Where are we going now?" Even Li Qing, who had seen all the splendor of the future, was momentarily dumbfounded when he saw Luoyang, a city crisscrossed like vegetable plots, teeming with people, and overflowing with treasures.

"My grandfather mentioned the 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena' he founded in his letter. I want to go there and take a look!" The girl said to Li Qing with a hint of sadness.

After wandering around and asking around for more than half an hour, the two finally found the "Moral Street" mentioned in the old man's letter.

"Moral Archway" is located near the Luo River, and is relatively secluded, making it a truly wonderful place!

The two looked around the neighborhood for a long time, but they didn't see any Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena. When they asked around, no one knew of such a place.

"Zhi'er, do you think your grandfather might be mistaken? There's no martial arts school here. Could it be a brothel up there?" Li Qing complained, rubbing her empty stomach.

The words had barely left his mouth when he paused, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense. Looking at that old man, he certainly didn't seem like a decent person; otherwise, why would he be hiding in that deep mountain forest and being hunted down…

As Li Qing thought about it, he kept imagining the old man's absurd deeds when he was young.

"Snapped!"

Li Qing felt as if his body had crashed into an iron wall; if it weren't for the continuous flow of his internal energy, he would have been sent flying.

He looked closely and saw a giant man over seven feet tall standing before him. The man had a thick beard, dark yellow skin, and strong, long hands and feet. He exuded a fierce and powerful aura, and passersby avoided him in a hurry.

"Uh... are you alright? I'm sorry!" Li Qing was still a little dazed. He patted the big man's stiff chest and said apologetically.

The burly man stared at Li Qing with wide eyes, as if he were about to punch him at the slightest provocation.

"I heard you're looking for 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts School'?" The burly man stared at Li Qing with suspicion in his eyes, sizing him up.

"Do you know where 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts School' is?" Li Linzhi asked impatiently.

The burly man glanced at the girl with some surprise. "What do you want with 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts School'?"

"I..." Before the girl could finish speaking, Li Qing covered her mouth.

“We heard from our elders that there is a ‘White-browed Eagle King’ in Luoyang City, whose martial arts are amazing and who has established the ‘Eagle Soaring Martial Arts School’, so we came to pay him a visit.”

Li Linzhi stared wide-eyed at Li Qing, her face filled with disbelief!

Pure as she was, she had never seen anyone who talked nonsense and lied without thinking.

Looking at the surprised and suspicious look in Li Linzhi's eyes, Li Qing smiled bitterly to himself—only this silly girl would reveal all her secrets to others on the very first meeting.

Just by looking at the old man being chased into the deep mountains and forests, you can tell that his enemy is no ordinary person!

Therefore, his mention of his seniors in the sect was meant to make the other party somewhat wary, lest they be inexplicably dragged away and silenced.

Upon hearing this, the burly man's eyes flashed with a cold smile and understanding. "Since that's the case, then I'll take you to see the 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena'." With that, he ignored the two men following behind and strode forward.

Li Qing and his companion followed the giant Han man all the way to the banks of the Luo River.

"See that? That's the 'Eagle Soaring Martial Arts Arena' up ahead!"

The two turned around and stared dumbfounded at the tall building standing by the river.

I didn't get home until very late yesterday. I'm home today, but Mom isn't here. I spent the whole day doing a thorough cleaning myself. I'm exhausted!

One more chapter to come!

It'll explode tomorrow!
