Chapter 13: Shadow of the Town In the morning, when it was still a little dark, a group of people appeared on the mountain path. There were about a dozen people in the group. The oldest was in his twenties, and the youngest was
Thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Second Senior Brother, when can we arrive?" one of the younger boys asked.
"According to our speed, we will arrive at noon. Seeing how excited you are, we are only going to the small town closest to the mountain gate this time."
"Senior Brother Zhang, don't say that. When you first went down the mountain, you were even more excited than Junior Brother Zhou." A person next to him interrupted.
The young people talking and laughing in this group are Zhou Dao and others who came down the mountain. This is a group of people who are relatively close to Tianlongmen. Of course, it is not the first time for everyone except Zhou Dao to go down the mountain. So there is nothing to be excited about. Sometimes for
Some practitioners would rather practice at home than go out. Going out to buy things like this is a waste of time for them. So basically these tasks are done by the younger generations.
The place becomes more lively when there are more people, and time passes very quickly. It’s not even noon when we reach the small town at the foot of the mountain. This is a small town with thousands of people. Of course, it cannot be compared with the city, but in Zhoudao’s
In my eyes, this is already remarkable.
Although this is just a small town, it also has its own city wall. The city wall is not very high, but it can give people a certain sense of security. Walking into the town, Zhou Dao immediately became dazzled. The people buying and selling things, and the shouts of the vendors were all over the place.
Ling's feeling was so lively. Even during the New Year celebrations in the village, it was not even one-tenth of what it was now.
"Junior brother, let's go quickly. While you have time to play, let's go to the place where we live now."
"Okay." Zhou Dao looked around and quickened his pace.
Because it is at the foot of Tianlong Mountain, the name of the town is Tianlong Town. Of course, this is not the only town with the name Tianlong Town.
Tianlongmen has its own house in Tianlong Town, so there is no need to look for an inn. Walking into the courtyard, it is a large courtyard like a courtyard. It is also the best in the entire Tianlong Town. Naturally, the courtyard is cleaned.
Naturally, there are people who take care of the house and food. These are things done by the subordinates of Tianlong Sect or some outer disciples.
The senior brother who led the team down the mountain this time was a tall young man in his twenties. When he entered the courtyard, he said: "Everyone has to find your own room first, rest for a while and have dinner before going out."
Zhou Dao followed his second senior brother to his room. It was obviously furnished like a guest room, not big but very clean.
"Second Senior Brother, how many days will we stay when we come out this time?" Zhou Dao asked.
"It depends on the situation. It usually takes about three days. If things go well, you can actually buy all the things in one day. The rest of the time can be used as rest and you can wander around casually. Anyway, this is our Tianlongmen's territory, and nothing will happen.
matter."
"Then why is it stipulated that in order to go down the mountain, you have to reach the early acquired situation realm?" Zhou Dao was very curious.
"That's just in case. The battles between various sects are very fierce now, and some demons are killing people without blinking an eye. If you don't have any strength to protect yourself, I want you to go out, and you don't dare to go out. Besides, why don't you come out now?
We still have to carry it with us. Of course, these regulations are only for us regular disciples, like those outer disciples and some handymen, they will die as well."
These words made Zhou Dao feel some of the cruelty of reality.
In the afternoon, a group of people went out for a big shopping spree. After going out, everyone divided into groups to go shopping individually.
Zhang Wutao led Zhou Dao and several other brothers to buy cloth, clothing and other things, so the only two women in the team followed. One of these two women, Zhou Dao, also knew him, named Zhang Cui.
, should be about the same age as Zhou Dao, and the other one is obviously a girl, tall, with an oval face, and very beautiful. Zhou Dao found that the second senior brother always had nothing to say when something happened.
"Junior Sister Sun, it's been a long time no see. You need to help me take a look at the things I'm shopping for today."
The one named Junior Sister Sun nodded, smiled faintly and said nothing. Her smile made not only Zhang Wutao, but also several people following her stunned. However, with Zhang Wutao standing there, no one else could squeeze in.
"Well, Junior Sister Sun, look at what you like, and Senior Brother will buy it for you." Zhang Wutao still had nothing to say. "No, thank you Senior Brother Zhang, I think we should hurry up."
"There's no hurry, there's no hurry, we have plenty of time, we should have a good time when we go out." Zhang Wutao continued to talk nonsense.
It made a few people roll their eyes behind him.
Zhou Dao looked at Zhang Wutao, then curled his lips and turned to Zhang Cui and said, "Senior Sister Zhang, why didn't Junior Sister Wen Ning come out?"
"Hey, why did you ask Junior Sister Wen the first time we met, and you didn't ask me either?" Zhang Cui teased.
"Hey, just ask. It's okay." Zhou Dao's face turned a little red.
Several people nearby couldn't help rolling their eyes when they saw Zhou Dao and Zhang Wutao chatting with a girl. They thought to themselves: "Sure enough, they are brothers. They even have the same thick skin."
After a while, Zhou Dao suddenly found that the passers-by on the road looked at them with respect, which puzzled Zhou Dao. So he stepped forward and pulled his senior brother's clothes.
Zhang Wutao, who was bragging, turned away impatiently and said, "What are you doing? It's so unbecoming to do that on the street."
Zhou Dao almost couldn't help laughing, but finally asked: "Why are others looking at us like this?"
"You say this because we are from Tianlongmen. In the eyes of ordinary people, we are all deified existences."
"But how do they know that we are from Tianlongmen?"
"Stupid, you will know soon after you look at your clothes." After saying this, Zhang Wutao turned around and continued chatting.
Only then did Zhou Dao realize that the dragon on his clothes originally represented the Tianlong Gate. And Zhou Dao also understood the position of these practitioners in the eyes of ordinary people. Thinking about the rural boy who had never seen the world not long ago.
.Now he is a fairy in the eyes of others. Alas, things are unpredictable.
Finally, we arrived at the cloth store and quickly bought the things. Zhang Wutao gave the things to the other brothers and began to get close to Junior Sister Sun again.
"Junior Sister Sun, you see, we finally came out and bought almost everything. Let's go shopping tomorrow, okay?"
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang. I don't think so. I don't want to go out tomorrow." Junior Sister Sun was a little embarrassed.
Zhang Wutao seemed to have a very thick skin. He continued to stalk her, and finally persuaded Junior Sister Sun to nod, but she wanted to take Zhang Cui with her. Zhang Wutao thought to himself: "Just take it with you. What do children know?"
After the group of people bought their things, they returned to their residence and found that someone had already bought everything. In particular, some of them were holding several jars of wine and some meat.
"Hey, how about it? I thought carefully and finally came out. Let us brothers have a few drinks today." One of the brothers named Wang Dawei said.
"Good boy, let's have a good drink today, and I'll invite you all next time." Another generous guy shouted.
"Let's go, let's go, hurry up, I can't wait any longer." This is a drunkard.
So a group of people were eating chicken drumsticks in the hall, drinking one glass at a time. Even Zhou Dao was forced to drink a few drinks. Zhou Dao, who had never drank before, felt dizzy after just a few drinks.
While they were still drinking, Zhou Dao wandered into his room.
Although he was a little dizzy, he couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. He had no choice but to go out to the street alone. When the cool breeze blew, Zhou Dao felt much more awake. After the wind blew for a while, Zhou Dao felt much better and was about to go.
When going back, the moment he turned around, Zhou Dao saw a black shadow flashing past on the roof not far away. Zhou Dao was stunned for a moment, ran a few steps and climbed up to the house next to him. He stood on the roof and took a look.
Hui finally saw the black figure in the distance. Maybe it was because he became bolder after drinking, so after thinking about it Zhou Dao gave chase.
