At the gate of Jiangnan City, there were many ordinary farmers going to the market, as well as practitioners in twos and threes.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuanmai walked into the city, wearing long gowns with silver face. Although their looks were a bit weird and outstanding, they did not attract much attention.
When a cultivator lives in the world, it is inevitable that he will have a few enemies, and it is normal for him to travel around the world hiding his identity from others.
Although there are not many people like them who cover their faces during the day, they do happen from time to time.
The architectural style of Jiangnan City is very different from other places. The city is surrounded by tall stone walls. The roofs of the houses everywhere are sloping and scattered, and the colorful tiles on them are shining in the sun.
The strange light is very dazzling, with a hint of dreaminess.
The streets in the city are not much different from anywhere else. There are also various shops and workshops on both sides, with signboards flying, people buzzing, and busy people coming and going.
Although the level of excitement is much lower than that of Xuanjin City, it is still prosperous compared to ordinary towns.
"Wow~ What a bright house, it shines."
A voice filled with innocence and romance suddenly came.
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan subconsciously looked back and saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old, with twin tails like rabbit ears, with a sweet and cute smile on her face, pointing at the bright tiles of the surrounding houses.
film, with a surprised look on his face.
Standing next to him was an old man, who looked like the girl's grandfather, with a stooped body and a slightly old appearance.
When Lu Feng and the other two turned around, the old man Xu was shocked by their strange attire that covered their faces during the day, and subconsciously hugged the lesbian behind him.
When Lu Feng saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh: "Did we scare people?"
After Tang Yuan came to his senses, he quickly said: "Old man, don't get me wrong, we are not bad people."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Yuan deliberately moved closer.
Immediately, the old man's expression became much more tense, and his entire body was blocked in front of the girl, with a faint aura of the Condensation Realm faintly exuding, as if he was giving a warning.
It's just that with such an aura and his old body and bones, he may not even be able to display the strength of the Dan Condensing Realm, so he doesn't pose any threat at all.
Seeing the old man's tone, Tang Yuan had no choice but to stop and walked away with a wry smile.
"I was thinking of asking where there are post stores and weapon shops," Tang Yuan sighed, "It seems I can only go back and look for them myself."
As he spoke, Lu Feng's eyes were curiously looking at some bright red flowers on one side of the street.
Tang Yuan said smoothly: "I have seen a lot of this flower under the city wall when I entered the city. I thought it was an ordinary wild flower. I didn't expect that there are actually some in the city. There seems to be a lot of them."
Lu Feng chuckled and said, "There are not only a lot of them, they are everywhere as far as the eye can see. I am afraid this flower could cover the whole town."
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and when he looked far away, he was shocked to realize that there were actually such bright and eye-catching flowers everywhere in the streets and alleys. At first glance, it seemed like bright red ribbons were surrounding the streets in the city, and even
There are even a few scattered plants growing on the walls of individual houses.
"Isn't this a custom in Jiangnan City? People have the habit of planting red flowers in every house?"
Tang Yuan murmured out of curiosity.
These words happened to be heard by a vendor at a morning tea shop on the roadside. The vendor smiled with a bit of ridicule: "You two are from other places. You have never been to our Jiangnan City, right?"
Tang Yuan and Lu Feng looked at each other and saw that the vendor was not wary of them, so they took advantage of the situation and sat down.
"Here comes a basket of big meat buns and two bowls of rice porridge." Tang Yuan naturally took out the soul coins and handed them to the vendor. He then said, "The boss is right. This is the first time for me and my brother to come back here. I don't know."
What can you say about the flowers here?"
It was a casual question at first, thinking that after the merchant answered, he would be familiar with it and then ask further questions about famous weapon shops and the like.
But unexpectedly, I heard a legendary story.
While the vendor was busy with the steamer, he responded to Xiang Yuan's words, "Speaking of the Jiangnan flower, we have to mention Jiangnan City. The city under your feet is said to have been changed because of this flower.
name."
The vendor had a loose smile on his face, as if he was keen to educate strangers about the town's past.
Perhaps this has become a kind of pleasure and habit in his life as a merchant over the years.
"Legend has it that many, many years ago, in this land, there lived a pair of knight-errant couples with unpredictable abilities. They walked around the world, visited mountains and rivers, and acted chivalrously and fought against injustice..."
"They were supposed to be the couple of gods and immortals that everyone envied, but God did not favor them. Once again they punished the evil and promoted the good. The woman was seriously injured and her life was in danger..."
"The man searched all over the world for famous doctors because of his love, but no one could cure him..."
"After pleading to no avail, the man took his lover back to the land where they first met, which was this town;"
"And because his lover wanted to see the flowers bloom again before his death, the man ordered people to scatter the seeds of the flowers everywhere in the city, and at the expense of his terrifying strength, he forcibly accelerated the growth.
Finally, his lover was able to see the bright red city all over the city at the last moment before his death;"
"Originally, the flowering period of Jiangnan flowers is only a few months a year, but in this Jiangnan city, it blooms for many years and is beautiful every month;"
"People often say that it is because God was moved by the knight couple and gave them good fortune."
"Over time, the name of this ancient city was also changed from the original to Jiangnan City."
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan suddenly heard such a sad and beautiful legend, and their expressions couldn't help but feel a little sad.
It wasn't until I finished eating the steamed buns and white porridge that I slowly calmed down.
After asking around about famous shops in the city, the two of them walked towards the center of the city.
On the road.
Look at the bright red crimson flowers scattered along the way.
When the two of them touched the scene, they seemed to feel the sadness conveyed by the flowers.
The red flowers seemed to be silently telling that sad and touching past event;
The flowers on the street can be seen everywhere in Deben, and at this moment, they suddenly add a touch of unique beauty.
Tang Yuan said with a bit of sadness: "Lao Lu, do you think the story told by the vendor is true or false?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's true or not," Lu Feng smiled calmly, "I only know that this city of red flowers will be a lot darker if it loses this poignant story."
Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to realize that each one was right and started to laugh.
The two of them stopped by the inn to complete the commission to deliver the corpse of the Evil Feather Vulture, and then went straight to the main street of Nancheng.
Tang Yuanyuan looked at the tallest attic on the whole street and said: "That should be the 'Xiaoyao Pavilion' that the vendors call it. Let's go and have a look. I hope I can find some decent treasures."
As he spoke, he lowered his tone a bit: "Lao Lu, do you think we are now rich people? With so much ill-gotten wealth, we need to squander it and give it back to the public."
Lu Feng chuckled in agreement;
He is not as simple as a rich man. With the current resources, he is probably rich enough to rival the country.
Not to mention the various resources obtained from Xiao Shu, Yin Dao and others along the way, the wealth brought by the destruction of Wuji Sect alone is probably as good as any third-rate force.
Even if you buy the entire Xiaoyao Pavilion, I'm afraid it will only be a drop in the bucket.
The two of them went straight to Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Tang Yuan said with a joking smile: "Lao Lu, do you think we will meet that kind of blind waiter when we enter later, who looks down on us? Then we will meet a rich young man who likes to pretend to be rich.
They are showing off in front of us... We will then throw a lot of money at their faces and humiliate them so hard?"
Lu Feng was speechless and laughed: "Why do you love to say such nonsensical things like Xiao Yi? Have you read some weird dramas somewhere?"
Tang Yuan was ashamed and said with an embarrassed smile: "It was from the storybook of 'Xiaoyao Luanyan' that she threw on the table during the battle on Qufu Mountain. No, the word Xiaoyao also happened to fit the situation."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you," Lu Feng approached with a smile, "For such a well-known large store, the reception must be very attentive. If nothing else, the way we look now, we are unusual customers at first glance.
Anyone who can carry the toilet clearly will not dare to trip randomly."
Tang Yuan touched the dark silver mask on his face and bared his teeth in a feigned manner.
It's quite a bit of an attitude that's not to be trifled with.
An unintentional expression immediately attracted the attention of the two servants in the pavilion.
Almost as soon as Lu Feng stepped into the threshold, the two young men stepped aside and stood respectfully on both sides.
Judging from the scene where the body skills are displayed, they all have strength that is not weaker than the Five Elements Realm.
"Please come in, you two~"
The waiter greeted him eagerly, "You two are visiting our store. I wonder what treasures you need to buy?"
Another person added: "The first floor of our store displays ordinary martial arts weapons, everything below the ground level; the second floor displays some array and medicine treasures, also limited to the ground level;"
"If you two want to buy heaven-grade items, you have to go to the third floor."
Tang Yuan slightly looked at the furnishings in Xiaoyao Pavilion in shock. He originally thought it was just an ordinary shop, but he didn't expect the space inside to be so large after walking in, probably over a hundred square meters.
At a glance, there were countless shelves, displaying all kinds of strange weapons and many strange objects. Tang Yuan asked himself that he had never seen them before, and it was hard to imagine that someone could use them as weapons.
Lu Feng was looking at a shelf more than ten meters away, where there were two figures, an old man and a young man. Hao Ran was the grandfather and grandson he had met at the city wall;
At this moment, the grandfather and grandson were standing a little awkwardly, as if they had spotted some treasure and were a little cash-strapped.
Tang Yuan noticed that under Lu Feng's gaze, he also noticed the movement over there.
Lu Feng, based on the idea that 'meeting means destiny', nodded to Tang Yuan and motioned for them to go over and take a look, and if they really needed it, they could lend a helping hand.
After all, judging from the price tags of the weapons displayed on the nearby shelves, most of them are priced in gold soul coins. They are really cheap. With their current 'worth', it is nothing.
As he got closer and saw that the shelves in front of the grandfather and grandson were displaying swords of various series, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel good about them.
Judging from the scene, it looks like a grandfather is buying a long sword suitable for his granddaughter to practice.
The young man saw Lu Feng and the two people stopping in front of the shelves and introduced them: "Most of the swords in this area range from the Five Elements to the Earth grade, and many of them are made of special fine iron, which can better
It is suitable for the practice of certain special swordsmanship. If you can find the right one, you will be like a fish in water."
The little girl on the side heard the word "like a fish in water", and her eyes suddenly became a little brighter. But when she looked at the price of the delicate light blue sword on the shelf, her expression became gloomy again, and she was very obedient and sensible.
He pulled Grandpa's hand beside him and said, "Grandpa, let's look at something else. Yu'er is still young now, so we can buy it later."
A young man standing behind the girl saw this and couldn't bear to say: "Little sister, it is precisely because you are still young that you need a weapon that suits you better. This can save a lot of energy on the path of cultivation.
."
The boy next to him cooperated in a tacit understanding: "After all, a sword is not a consumable item, and may even exist for a lifetime. Rather than buying one that will soon become inappropriate for your own strength, it is better to buy one that is more suitable once and for all.
If it can be used for more than ten or twenty years, then on average it will only cost you a little money per day."
It has to be said that the marketing of the two boys singing together is very convincing, and the girl obviously showed signs of being persuaded.
Even the old man was a little hesitant. He certainly understood how important a good sword was to a swordsman at the beginning of his practice. With the joy and cherishment of the long sword, there was no way that the swordsman could let it go.
To better achieve the state of unity between man and sword, even if it is not possible, it will definitely be of great help to understand the way of the sword.
Although Lu Feng did not completely agree with what the two boys said, he could understand the old man's desire to give his granddaughter the best. If the delicate blue sword matched the swordsmanship that the old man wanted to pass on to the girl,
If it matches, it can indeed bring a lot of help to the little girl's spiritual path.
Just when he was about to ask for help, a man suddenly walked down from the attic staircase leading to the second floor on the other side.
"How have you considered it? My master's patience is limited!"
The man looked at the old man casually, with a fierce aura in his words. After intimidating him, he gently persuaded: "If you agree to let this little girl follow my son for three years, not to mention the sword here, even if it is a second-level skill,
Or you can choose them all.”
The old man's face was livid, and he said angrily: "Young Master is so talented and powerful, why do you want to embarrass us? Yu'er is only seven years old, how can she serve you well?"
Lu Feng and Tang Yuan were listening to this conversation, and their faces could not help but be filled with frost.
They all knew the man, he was the man from the Holy Sect who had met once during the battle of destroying the temple.
But never thought that his character would be so bad and he would like such a young girl?
