The sun is high, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Since the talisman exploded, the cave in the mansion collapsed into a flat ground.

The three Taoists mourned Chen Jiu and set up a tomb. After resting for a while, they were injured. In the early morning, they stood up and rushed to Qingfeng City, which is located in the southern part of the Daying Dynasty, known as the Fenghua and the autumn moon, and the woman's raid.

The mountains and fields are calm again, and occasionally insects and birds are singing.

At noon, the death of the firefly ghost was at the center of the talisman exploded. A sudden sound came from the layers of gravel. One palm poked out, grabbed the stone wall, and moved outward.

At noon, Chen Jiu came out of the soil without any clothes. Fortunately, he was in the mountains and fields, and there was no one around, so it was harmless.

The first thing he did when he came out was to scold the Taoist priest first, and he actually asked him to be a human bomb. It was really a stinky bull's nose.

After venting for a while, he looked at the flat ground in confusion again, and walked around for two more times, but saw the tomb of clothes, which was placed on it with the scholar's clothes of three Taoists. A piece of wood was used as a monument with a few big words on it.

Tomb of unknown soldiers.

Chen Jiu was so angry that he kicked him, "Stinky Taoist priest, grandma, it turns out that you just want me to die."

He kicked the mudbag on the grave again, and after venting, he picked up the scholar's clothes and put them on himself.

Now he won't go deep into the mountains if he beat him to death. Who knows what else is there?

Fortunately, he met a river later, so he walked along the downstream, which really allowed him to find a path opened up by man.

The path is full of people and is a small village. Chen Jiu didn't come to say hello, because he was afraid that it would be something evil, so he continued to walk along the path.

The journey was not long, and half a day later he got on the real official road. During this period, there were many people, including pedestrians gathered together in groups of three or two, caravans with horses, and rich children riding tall horses and gorgeous clothes.

Chen Jiu walked slowly along the broad official road. When he was thirsty, he even went to the inn tea shop on the side of the road to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

The tea station is spread on the roadside, and wine and tea are all cost-effective. This is the white water for free to be used to make a good relationship, but there are restrictions. Each person can only drink one bowl, and if you drink too much, it will be considered as the price of tea.

Chen Jiu held a bowl of white water and sat in the corner of the tea shop with many pedestrians, listening to those pedestrians telling some landscape stories.

The most talked about is the end of this official road, at Qingfeng City.

There are really many strange stories about Qingfeng City. Chen Jiu was surprised and applauded the storyteller.

For example, the most famous cemetery is so charming that she is as charming as a fairy on the mountain. I heard that for twenty years, she has not only never grown old, but also more beautiful. An immortal master came to see her in person and said one thing to the cemetery, "The heavens pity you, but they don't agree to you."

After the talk, the group sighed, "If I could see the courtesan in this life, it would be worth it to die!"

The pedestrians squatting in the corner of the wall all expressed their support.

Chen Jiu took a sip of white water and shook his head slightly, thinking that these people had never seen women before. They were going to die after taking a look. If you touch them, you would not explode directly?

Most of the stories in Qingfeng City are built around this brothel, and they are always inseparable from the wind, flowers, autumn moon, and spend a lot of money to make the beauty smile.

Chen Jiu was annoyed when he heard these bachelors talk. He stood up and took a sip of white water. He felt it was lighter, so he walked towards the tea shop to see if he could touch a few peanuts to eat.

Those who sit in the tea shop are all guests who order tea and wine. Those who only drink a bowl of white water like Chen Jiu can only squat outside.

When the guests heard someone walking in, they glanced slightly, and saw that it was a poor scholar holding white water, so they turned back their eyes disdainfully.

The shopkeeper was an old blind man with a coarse cloth clothes and a thick stick was placed next to him, which was a crutch. The old blind man was responsible for collecting money. Every time he collected money, no matter how much, he had to use his rough palms to the copper coins, rub them carefully one by one, and then slowly put them into the box, asking the guy to get things for the guests.

Chen Jiu walked to the simple counter with white water, thinking that he had something to ask for, so he must put desserts on his mouth, so he asked tentatively: "Handsome guy, can you give me a few peanuts?"

The old blind man was stunned for a moment, not knowing who Chen Jiu was calling.

Chen Jiu then explained again, "Your white water is too light."

The old man was speechless, and then he realized the reason and sighed, "Young man, this is not the case for asking for help."

Chen Jiu was stunned. What else could it be? His head turned sharply, and suddenly a light of inspiration appeared. He asked again, "Beautiful boy?"

The old man held it in a while, took out a handful of peanuts from the storage cabinet behind him, handed it to Chen Jiu, and asked, "Young man, are you going to Qingfeng City?"

Chen Jiu took the peanuts and said, "Well, I heard that there are a lot of people, go and have a walk."

"Then don't go."

Chen Jiu was puzzled, "Why?"

The old man said earnestly: "You are so careless, you will not live long after you go there."

Chen Jiu threw a peanut into his mouth and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of death."

After a word, he turned around and left with Baishui.

The old man stopped talking and rubbed the copper coins on the counter one by one with his hands.

The guy next to him suddenly ran over and pointed to the direction where Chen Jiu left, "Shopkeeper, that person..."

The old blind man waved his hand, "Isn't it just a handful of peanuts, let him go."

The guy looked anxious and said hurriedly: "He took our bowl and ran away."

The old man was stunned and speechless.

—————

The journey to Qingfeng City was not long. Chen Jiu traveled for another day and rested outside an inn. At noon the next day, he arrived at the city gate.

Qingfeng City has a huge crowd, and there is a moat outside. I heard that it is a branch of Huai River, and many ships take this waterway to enter the city.

Chen Jiu mixed in the crowd and walked into the city together, and the scene was two different from the outside of the city.

The wide Bluestone Avenue has many vendors, including actors performing on the street, which is very lively.

Chen Jiu walked for two days, even if he had the physical strength of the first level of physical cultivation, he could not fast, so he would naturally be hungry and would have to eat.

So based on the principle of being thick-skinned and able to eat meat, he walked straight to a bun shop, looked at the big and thick boss, opened his mouth and asked, "Handsome guy, can you give me a few buns?"

The boss only said the word "get out".

Chen Jiu didn't give up, "We can pay it on credit, and we will pay it back when we have money in the future."

The boss was speechless, just raised the kitchen knife that chopped the meat high and looked straight at Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu ran away in disappointment and shook his head in his heart. This boss is so unkind, no wonder his business is so bad.

After going around again, Chen Jiu was a little familiar with him, but he couldn't find anything to eat, so he felt really uncomfortable when he was hungry.

He found a corner of the wall and was about to make a long-term plan, but suddenly he saw a group of people gathered not far away.

Chen Jiu liked to join in the fun, and he couldn't stop leisure, so he followed him in curiosity.

Among the crowd was a thin and vulgar middle-aged man with a short front teeth and a thin and vulgar appearance, holding a piece of thin paper full of ink and talking to the crowd below.

Chen Jiu was hit by the man beside him and said curiously: "Handsome guy, what are you doing?"

The man was originally beaten for no reason and was a little unhappy. When he heard the title of Chen Jiu, he immediately laughed and explained.

"Brother, this is Manager Huang recruiting people. He is responsible for recruiting people wherever he needs. Brothers are also seeking money to make money."

The two were talking, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The despicable manager Huang shouted: "The poor scholar over there, do you do the job if you have a job?"

All the eyes looked at the two of them.

Chen Jiu pointed at himself confusedly, "Me?"

Manager Huang shouted, "Who else is like a poor scholar besides you?"

Chen Jiu asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?"
