Chapter 122: The small sword warns, fears it like a tiger
After getting off the boat, they separated from Chu Yunyu and Liu Qinghui. They went to the nearby market and spent money to buy a carriage to rush the road. The carriage was scattered and headed north.
Chen Sanlang was about to go to the shore of Dongting Lake, thinking in his heart that he didn't know if Xu Nian's father and daughter were still here. If they were there, they would naturally be happy to meet each other.
First find a local person and ask about the customs and customs. After spending five hundred yuan, I basically have a general understanding of the local situation.
Dongting Lake is as vast as the sea, bordering the four major prefectures and counties of Zhongzhou, Yangzhou, Yongzhou and Mingzhou. However, such a large area is undoubtedly the most famous area located in the area of Dongting Town, located at the corner of Yangzhou and Mingzhou.
Speaking of Dongting Lake, it basically refers to this place in a narrow sense.
Dongting Town, Yueyang Tower, and Longjun Mountain, which has the most abundant resources, are all here. The lost location of the "Dayu Treasury" that was destroyed in the ancient battlefield of the previous dynasty and was talked about by people is also here.
The lake is vast, and Chen Sanlang cannot walk around in full. In that case, it will take at least several months, so the area where he focused on wandering is Dongting Town.
The dock where the ship berth is one day away from Dongting Town, so he hired a carriage to drive. Since he experienced the dark carriage last time when he arrived in Yangzhou, Chen Sanlang has become more careful.
The world is vast, with a huge population, and a large forest, and there are all kinds of birds. There are black cars and more black shops. Their existence is far more hidden and insidious than the bandits, and it is hard to guard against.
Although Chen Sanlang possesses magic and has some martial arts, if he is careless and encounters misleading methods, it is not safe. I don’t know how many heroes and heroes are arrogant and arrogant. In the end, he was murdered by Xiaoxiao and died in a mess.
At night, the carriage arrived in Dongting Town. Get off at the head of the town and sent the carriage back. I decided to make sure. Chen Sanlang saw the stone tablet erected on the street:
"Dongting!"
The two words are twisted and crooked, like the words of a child's graffiti, which looks strange.
Chen Sanlang has traveled around the world in the past few months and has been to many places. Inscriptions and names of the places will be erected inscriptions in larger markets.
Those characters are either formal regular script or upright or running script. They are well-known and symmetrical.
I have never seen any words like before my eyes.
After looking for a while, but not realizing anything, Chen Sanlang ignored it and stepped into the town - he didn't know that this was how Xu Jun entered the town on a dusk many days ago.
I found an inn to stay in. This place is worthy of the name of "scenic spots". Accommodation is expensive. Compared to Yangzhou, it is twice as expensive, which is amazing.
I came down to eat, and it turned out to be true. I could buy a sheep elsewhere at the price of a plate of meat.
After eating, go upstairs to rest. The next morning, I got up and finished washing up and officially started wandering around.
Because he was too long apart, he did not expect to meet Xu Nianniang and his daughter. Although the saying always says "no coincidence will be written", this matter is really slim. The expectations are too high, but they are disappointed. Therefore, this wandering is more out of the mentality of playing and insight.
Dongting is in the water, Yueyang is in the stairs.
Chen Sanlang even heard this sentence and his ears were called out. Today, he finally arrived at the place. If he didn't take a good look, he would be sorry for himself.
Yueyang Tower and Dongting Town are next to each other, and you will be there after a turn.
The first floor of Yueyang Tower is based on granite and is hard and solid. The three-story wooden building, flying eaves, brackets, elegant and classical, and has a magnificent and solemn momentum.
Entering the building, there is a square hall with corridors on both sides, each with side halls; climbing up the steps, the second and third floors, the architectural style is the same. On some screen walls, there are many calligraphy works by literati and poets from ancient times to the present, including poems, lyrics, songs, and articles, all of which are available.
Below the calligraphy, the author's name is written, and they are all famous people.
Chen Sanlang even saw Zhou Fencao's works, and he wrote a seven-character poem. When he read it, he had a rigorous rhythm, careful rhetoric, and poetic style. It was a masterpiece.
After strolling the second floor, I went up to the third floor, and finally looked at the railings. I saw the blue waves in the distance, among which there were small islands standing, fishing boats swaying, gulls and birds flying occasionally, and the necks were singing...
The scenery is picturesque and beautiful. It is like the rolling lake water rushing into my heart, which can make people feel lofty and relaxed.
I remember that day, the little dragon girl Ao Qingmei escaped from the lake, turned into a red carp, and fled thousands of miles away...
After stopping and watching for a long time, Chen Sanlang sighed and turned downstairs. He secretly said that this ancient building had no specific owner and was not under the jurisdiction of the court. Who is the person who is doing the daily maintenance and management? Are they from Dongting Town?
Just as I was thinking, when I went down to the second floor, I saw an old man holding a broom and slowly sweeping the steps.
The old man's back is as hunched as a peak and raised high, but because of his height, even if he hunched his back, he looked tall and gave people a strange feeling.
He is nearly 70 years old, with thin hair, a face, wrinkles like tree bark, and some with black spots of old man.
These spots are even on your hands.
Chen Sanlang suddenly noticed the unusual details. He felt that the spots on the old man's face and hands seemed very regular, oval, and the color was different from normal old man's spots.
I couldn't help but take a look.
The old man suddenly stopped sweeping the floor and grinned at him: "Young Master goes downstairs and be careful of the steps."
Nine out of ten teeth in his mouth are very empty.
Chen Sanlang was shocked and bowed, "Thank you for your advice."
He took the steps step by step and went down to the first floor, never looking back. Because just as the old man was watching him and speaking, a very intense emotional fluctuation of the Evil-Slaying Sword was conveyed to his mind.
This emotion actually contains fear.
Because of fear, he warned Chen Sanlang desperately reminded him to stay away from the old man.
Xiao Jian showed his warning, this was not the first time, but it was the first time he showed fear. In the past, Xiao Jian showed his warning, but he was excited and almost wanted to break the box and fly away, showing his sharpness to subdue demons and kill evil spirits.
But this time, it actually showed a sense of fear, like a sheep seeing a tiger!
No, in that emotion, Xiaojian also expressed some unwillingness... fear, or just a subconscious avoidance based on the huge gap in absolute power, does not mean that it is completely cowardly...
However, who was the sacred place of this old man who was sweeping the floor in Yueyang Tower and like a slave?
After Chen Sanlang went downstairs, the old man continued to lower his head to sweep the floor. His movements were very slow, but every move was very powerful. Every step of the steps immediately became extremely clean when the swept through:
"What a little guy who is interesting..."
The low voice stumbled, it was not heard in detail. (To be continued...)
