Chapter 12 Yinzhou Mansion
Yinzhou is one of the five states of Dufeng Kingdom. Its state capital, Fengchang City, is located on the south bank of Yuanshi River. It is connected to the unloading dock and has four markets inside. It is a prosperous place famous all over the world.
When Lin Xiao got off the boat and stood on the pier, what he saw was a crowd of people, mountains of goods, noisy everywhere, and accents from the south to the north.
Looking up, the gray-black city wall is vaguely visible. On both sides of the city gate, the leaf boats under the water gate come and go like a shuttle.
As the crowd moves forward and passes through the city gate, the top of the head becomes dark and then light up again.
The scene inside the city gate surprised Lin Xiao even more.
However, I saw that there were many shops on both sides of the main road, and merchants from the north and south were hawking and noisy. As far as the eye could see, there were pearls in the market, and the houses were full of flowers. The endless banners seemed to reach from the front to the sky. It was really a prosperous resort, rich and noble.
Bang.
It is in line with the meaning of the saying "Fireworks in the world are not like the clouds in the fairy mountains".
As a member of the Immortal Sect, Lin Xiao does not reject secular life, but he really did not come to Fengchang City just to live in the world of mortals.
It is Hanxi Mountain's outer gate hall in Yinzhou, located in Qinghefang City, thirty miles south of Fengchang City. If you want to take the land route, you must go through the entire city unless you deliberately take a long detour. As for Jianzhou, it is too high-profile.
, Lin Xiao gave up the idea directly.
Walking and stopping along the way, the scenery he saw reminded Lin Xiao of the days when he was young and wandering around the world. For a moment, he felt like he was in another world. Compared with the step-by-step life in the mountain gate all day long, he felt that such an unfettered and unorganized life
, but not bad.
After leaving the south gate of Fengchang, you can see at a glance the horse-drawn carriage station with a banner on the side of the official road.
At this time, the outside of the inn was busy. There were a group of laborers loading trucks, and several groups of merchants were directing them. The sound of bargaining could be heard all the time.
Just when Lin Xiao was in trouble, what to say, a waiter in shorts came up from the crowd and bowed first.
"I've invited you, sir, but I don't know where to go? Take a car or rent a horse?"
Lin Xiao heard the words and replied directly: "Going to Qinghefang City, what about taking a taxi to your store, or renting a horse?"
When the waiter heard Lin Xiao's answer, he immediately stopped smiling and showed respect.
"It turns out it was the Immortal Master who was rude in front of me," Huoji said, bowing and raising his hand to the back of the inn to greet him, "I think this is the first time the Immortal Master has come to Fengchang City and he doesn't know the key. If
To go to Qinghefang City, just go directly to the backyard of the shop, and have your own carriages and horses ready for the use of the immortal master."
Lin Xiao smiled when he heard this. He didn't know whether it was Fengchang City or Fangshi, but he was very thoughtful, so he said: "Oh? I see. I wonder how much this money is?"
Workhorse quickly waved his hand. "Master Immortal, just use it. This chariot and horse were specially set up by Fangshi. There is no need to pay extra money."
"In that case, I would like to thank you for showing me the way." Lin Xiao nodded with a smile, pointed twice, and a pass floated to the front of the worker, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as I took a few steps, I heard a surprise from the waiter behind me, and then thanked him profusely.
Slowly walking backwards along the bamboo forest path, it feels like a winding path leading to a quiet place. Not long after walking, an open space comes into view. Compared with the noisy scene in front, it is naturally much quieter.
At this time, a black painted carriage was parked in the open space. In a pergola not far away, an old man dressed as a coachman was drinking tea and cooling off.
"Really thoughtful..."
Lin Xiao secretly said something and walked forward directly.
But before they got close, they heard a few words coming from far away in the carriage.
"Cousin, how long do you have to wait? I wish I had taken my own carriage. Why sit here..."
"You brat, didn't you say you wanted me to take you to Fangshi to see the world? Why, you haven't even started yet and you can't stand it anymore?"
"Didn't I think that the inn should be a very interesting place? Who knows how boring it is? Besides, cousin, can't you take me there by sword boat? It's so fast, we'll be there in a blink of an eye!"
"No, no! Don't even think about using a sword boat to take you. If my aunt finds out about this, she will tear me alive!"
"Can't you just not let Mother know? Besides, cousin, don't you always say that you are a member of the Immortal Sect and practice the Taoism? Who wants to tear you apart? It's not that easy..."
The young man called cousin was obviously annoyed and couldn't bear it anymore. He interrupted directly: "Stop, stop, stop! Shut up. If you want to go, just keep waiting. If not, let's get off quickly."
Car!"
"Okay, okay, just wait..." The slightly childish voice immediately weakened, but after a breath, he spoke again. "By the way, cousin, you said you were in the same car with us.
, could he be a fairy? That would be wonderful! Are fairies like what the book says, charming the country and the city, and more beautiful than the gods?"
"Little brother, be careful what you say!" This time the young man's voice suddenly became extremely stern, but he seemed to feel that the tone was too strong, so he said softly: "You can just talk to my cousin about this. If you are really a fairy in a while, I will never give up."
Keep your mouth shut, don't be rude, remember, remember."
"This, why is this..."
"Little brother, my cousin is not trying to trick you. You must know that most people in the immortal sect are independent and devoted to the Tao, and there are even more weird ones among them. If you meet someone who is easy to talk, just let it go, if you meet someone who is eccentric
It's ridiculous, one careless move may lead to life or death being unpredictable. Even I, no, even my father can't save you."
"...Hiss, this is so exaggerated? Cousin, aren't you also a monk? I think you are quite normal..."
"Me? Hahaha..." The young man laughed a few times, and then said: "Just because I am a descendant of the family, not a casual cultivator, I have roots here. Besides, maybe my cultivation level is low and my skills are not high.
Shallow."
Listening to the young man's last words, Lin Xiao in the distance felt quite amused.
Thinking about the battle at Luoyunguan that year, he saw two golden elixir monks fighting on the battlefield, above the heads of thousands of people, high in the sky.
In the end, the Dufeng Kingdom monk who broke through the treasure light and successfully killed the opponent stood proudly in the clouds and looked down at all living beings. Lin Xiao will never forget that look - in the eyes of that person, the soldiers of the two armies, including the low-level monks, actually did not have any distinction between ourselves and enemies at all.
No, they are all like ants.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao sighed softly, deliberately let go of his footsteps, and walked towards the carriage.
Sure enough, the conversation between the people in the car stopped.
When he got close to the car door, Lin Xiao took a look and saw two people sitting in the car. One of them was only a young man and had a rather handsome appearance. At this time, his eyes were flashing and he was quietly looking at himself.
The other one is about the same age as Lin Xiao, with a tough appearance and a touch of resoluteness between his brows.
