24. Floating Flower County
When the sun was setting, a group of four people left the dense forest and headed south.
When it comes to the south, Yang Qingyun, as a modern person, will think of Jiangnan, and the words "small bridge, flowing water, and people" involuntarily appear in his mind.
It's just that I don't know what the south side of this immortal cultivation world looks like.
Different from the north where the Chunyang Palace is located, the south is a picturesque and warm spring.
The greenery can be seen everywhere, the delicate and lovely unknown flowers bloom in clusters on the roadside, the breeze is blowing, the shadows of the trees are waving, and even the sun is exceptionally gentle.
A few people who had been wandering around in the Northland for a long time suddenly felt refreshed, and their bodies were comfortable from the inside out.
"It's better to be in the south!" Yang Qingyun involuntarily let out a sigh.
The other three all nodded in agreement, and Mo Lin said solemnly: "This place is called Fuhua County, which is the most beautiful place in the south, and it is also famous all over the world because of the triennial Nanhua Festival. “
"Southern Flower Festival?" Ling Jinxi, as the only woman present, was extremely interested in this.
Mo Lin only glanced at Yang Qingyun, and saw that he was also curious, so he said: " The South Flower Festival was originally initiated by the Floating Flower County's Xiuxian Sect Bi Xuan Sect, the original intention was to select the women who were all superior in appearance and qualifications to accept the sect disciples, and it has developed into a civilian festival with flowers for a long time, the women of the Floating Flower County all love to serve the flowers, and the houses in the Floating Flower County are full of strange flowers, and once they arrive at the South Flower Festival, they will take out the best flowers in their own homes to go to the flower market for people to watch, and then select the best as the flower king of the triennial South Flower Festival. ”
"This South Flower Festival is very good!" Yang Qingyun has always been a flower lover, in modern times, he just loves to raise some flowers and plants, but the flower raising skills are not full, and the survival rate is not high, so he has to look at the flowers raised by others to solve his cravings.
Jiang Mingyuan, who had not spoken on the side, said suspiciously: "Then how can the disciples of the Bi Yi Sect be chosen?"
Mo Lin: "Naturally, as usual, originally the two were unrelated, the South Flower Festival was later called out by these flower farmers themselves, originally once every three years was the time for Bi Yi Sect to select female disciples, at first these flower farmers all took their best flowers, cheering for the women who participated in the selection, and for a long time formed this South Flower Festival, which is unique and attracts many outsiders to participate." ”
While talking, several people have approached the gate of Fuhua County, and a notice board has been erected at the city gate, on which a conspicuous pale pink notice is pasted, and it is written in black letters, "The Southern Flower Festival is coming, please go to the guard to receive a bracelet to participate in the Southern Flower Festival." ”
Before Yang Qingyun could ask what the bracelet was for, the guards had already handed over the bracelets made of flowers one by one.
Ling Jinxi put it on happily as soon as he got it, Yang Qingyun pinched the bracelet and frowned, but he didn't wear it on his hand, only two fingers between his fingers.
Although this garland is beautiful, it is too feminine for a man to wear it after all, and Yang Qingyun refuses to wear it.
On the other hand, Jiang Mingyuan and Mo Lin, like Yang Qingyun, only held the bracelet in their hands, obviously thinking that wearing it was detrimental to manhood.
Fortunately, it is not said that it is mandatory to wear a wrist to participate in the Southern Flower Festival.
Yang Qingyun and his entourage are all outstanding, so they have attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered Floating Flower County.
A few people's faces were as usual, and Mo Lin continued to popularize science to a few people while walking forward: "This bracelet is used in the South Flower Festival, if you like whom, you will give this bracelet to whom, if that person accepts, it means that he is also happy with you"
"You seem to know a lot about the customs here. Yang Qingyun picked up the garland with one finger and looked at Mo Lin for a long time.
"Cough" Mo Lin shook his hand into a fist and coughed to his lips, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "When I was young and vigorous, I came here and played around, so I knew a little about the customs of this place. ”
As soon as the words fell, a plain-clothed woman on the side of the road looked at Mo Lin in surprise and exclaimed, "Childe is also here this year?"
Mo Lin was stunned for a while, and the other three all looked him up and down with a strange look, which made Mo Lin even more embarrassed, so he only smiled bitterly and dealt with the plain woman with a few words, and then hurriedly led a few people forward.
"Biqing Fairy?" Yang Qingyun raised his eyebrows, but he didn't plan to let Mo Lin go like this, with "eight" written on his left eye and "hexagram" written on his right eye.
Mo Lin, who thought he knew Yang Qingyun very well, naturally knew that this person would not give up without asking the answer, but he did not twist it, and generously told the events of the year.
It turned out that Mo Lin was curious about the Southern Flower Festival, so he came to Fuhua County thousands of miles to see the grand occasion. On that day, when the Bi Yi Sect selected female disciples, the leader was Bi Qing, the personal disciple of the Bi Yi Sect Master, known as the Bi Qing Fairy. This Biqing Fairy is an orphan picked up by the sect master of the Bi Xuan Sect from outside, raised by his side since he was a child, and his qualifications are very good, according to legend, the Bi Qing Sect Master intends to pass on the position of the suzerain to the Biqing Fairy, so the important task of selecting disciples in the South Flower Festival was handed over to her early.
This blue fairy is born is exceptionally good, dressed in blue clothes, long hair to the waist, with a peach blossom hairpin on the side of the ear, picturesque eyebrows, red lips and Zhu, with a whole body of green flute as a weapon, temperament dusty, worthy of the word fairy.
This Mo Lin happened to be a beauty-lover, and he noticed this blue fairy at that time, and felt that this woman was particularly pleasing to the eye, so he stood quietly aside with his hands and looked at her.
Maybe Mo Lin's gaze was too obvious, the Biqing Fairy actually looked at him, I don't know if it was because this Mo Linsheng was also good or something else, the Biqing Fairy actually walked down from the stage, walked straight to Mo Lin, looked down at the bracelet he was holding in his hand, pointed at the slender jade hand, and said, "Can you give it to me?"
The blue fairy was already in the spotlight, and as soon as she heard her words, the people around her glared in surprise.
At that time, Mo Lin didn't know what this bracelet was used for, and only thought that it was a voucher to participate in the South Flower Festival, so when the Biqing Fairy asked him for it, he only thought that she liked the flowers on this bracelet, and he didn't think much about it, so he immediately reached out and handed it over.
Seeing his neat movements, Fairy Biqing couldn't help but blush, stretched out her hand to take it, and saluted him elegantly, with a tactful voice: "After the Southern Flower Festival, the prince can go to Bixuan Sect to find me." ”
After speaking, he turned around and went back to the stage, and carefully put the bracelet into the purse around his waist.
Mo Lin, who was still standing in place, was first confused by the words of the Biqing Fairy, and then immediately received the jealous eyes of the young men around him, and couldn't help but become even more inexplicable.
Hearing this, Yang Qingyun first laughed a few times, and then said, "So you are so in love with someone?"
Mo Lin glared at him with slight shame and said, "Of course not!"
Later, Mo Lin learned about the use of the bracelet from others, and immediately changed his face, although he admired the demeanor of the fairy, but he never thought of making a relationship with her.
After all, appreciation is appreciation, but Mo Lin didn't fall in love with her at first sight, so after knowing what the bracelet was used for, he just thought about quickly explaining to Fairy Biqing.
Then when he found the Biqing Fairy to explain, the people were very happy to express their understanding, and then directly said that she had a good impression of Mo Lin and could marry him as a double cultivation immortal.
After listening to the words, Yang Qingyun's interest in the blue fairy became stronger and stronger, and he felt that a woman with such a temperament in this world was also extremely rare.
Several people chatted while talking, and in a blink of an eye, they had arrived at the flower market in Fuhua County.
The flower market is a square-like place, with many wooden flower stands, the flower stands are full of flowers of different colors, and each flower pot is inserted with a small slender wooden sign, on which the variety of flowers and the family are written.
Yang Qingyun has always been very interested in flowers, and he couldn't help but look along the flower stand all the way. Jiang Ming naturally followed behind him, and Mo Lin was not interested in flowers, so he just stood on the periphery and watched silently.
Ling Jinxi wanted to follow up, but Jiang Mingyuan had never looked at her along the way, and Jiang Mingyuan's eyes had been on him since he found Yang Qingyun, and the two of them seemed to be unable to insert a third person, which made Ling Jinxi want to follow but hesitated, but in the time of her hesitation, the two had already turned into the flower stand.
Mo Lin put his hands in his sleeves, and only silently watched Yang Qingyun turn around with great interest between the flower stands in the audience, turning his head from time to time to say something to Jiang Mingyuan who was following him.
After watching it for a long time, he suddenly spoke: "Do you like the kid surnamed Jiang?"
Ling Jinxi on the side was stunned for a moment, first glanced at him blankly, then reacted, his face suddenly turned red, and said in a low voice: "Cai, no." ”
Mo Lin snorted coldly and didn't speak again.
That Ling Jinxi lowered his head silently, his face was already red, but he didn't dare to look at Jiang Mingyuan anymore.
"Childe really came. A crisp female voice suddenly came from the side of the two.
Mo Lin was stunned for a moment, the look on his face became weird, and he turned his head slightly to look at the side.
A woman in a blue shirt stood quietly beside Mo Lin, wearing a translucent light veil on her face, her eyes were looking intently ahead, and she held a blue flute in her white hand.
"Fairy Love. Mo Lin saluted the woman beside him with a detached expression.
Biqing glanced at Mo Lin, lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Why should the prince refuse people thousands of miles away, Biqing came here to invite you and your friends to go to Bi Yi Sect." ”
"Bi Yi Sect?" Mo Lin was stunned for a moment.
