Chapter 11: Yunlai Town
Yunlai Town is not far from the foot of Qingjian Mountain, it is said to be a town, but it has the scale of a county seat. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yunlai Town is the only way for maritime merchants from the east to do business in the inland, several major roads converge in Yunlai Town, and there are canals that branch off in Yunlai Town, and the Xuanhe River, a big river in the north, is divided into three in Yunlai Town, one to the west, one to the south, and one to the east, which can be said to undertake the four directions of the earth. Yunlai Town is a large town where the residents have gradually developed in this advantageous location. Over time, the imperial court also saw the oil and water, and many officials would rather be demoted to come to Yunlai Town to be village officials, completely breaking the law of crushing people at the level of officials. Oil and water are very fat, on the one hand, as for what else is the inside story of officialdom, it is inevitably harmonious, it cannot be said.
The lively scene in Yunlai Town also shows the dilapidation of Qingjian Temple, which is so close to the town, but there are no pilgrims. This is also the first sigh of Cangyun and others when they arrive at the gate of Yunlai Town. But now they were just halfway there, resting at a roadside tea stall.
Pingqing was speaking: "Senior brother, where are we going later?"
Su Murong said: "Let's be closest to Yunlai Town, let's go to Yunlai Town first." ”
Zhu Xue said: "Yunlai Town doesn't know what it looks like. ”
Cangyun said: "Since it's called a town, it shouldn't be big, right?"
Zhu Xue said: "Then let's go to a big city." ”
Second Senior Sister Murong Su continued: "We don't know any other places. ”
Suzaku said: "Second Senior Sister, we don't know Yunlai Town either. ”
Hearing the discussion of a few young tea customers, the owner of the tea stall and the tea shop saw that they were a table of guests, so he came over to talk and said, "A few little brothers, little girls, can I say no?"
Everyone saw that the owner of this tea stall was in his thirties, and his face was full of traces of years of wind and rain, turning into a bronze color, but he did not look annoying, after all, he was a figure on the front line of the service industry in the perennial battle.
Su Murong said, "Please take a seat." I don't know what the boss is called?"
The owner of the tea stall sat next to Su Murong and said with a smile: "The little brother is not very old, he is quite polite, just call me Lao Xu." ”
Su Murong said, "I don't know what you have to say?"
Lao Xu said: "I don't dare to say it, I just listened to you chatting, saying that I was going to Yunlai Town, and I don't know the situation, so I'll tell you." ”
Everyone looked at each other a few times, and they really wanted to eat the hail in the ice sky. They don't know that roadside stall owners are generally very enthusiastic, do business all year round, and want to chat more with passing customers, one is to relieve boredom, the other is to have a long experience, after a long time, the strange knowledge in the stomach of these people is quite considerable.
Suzaku said: "Old Xu, then you tell us about the situation in Yunlai Town." ”
Lao Xu glanced at Suzaku and secretly said that she was such a cute little girl, but unfortunately she didn't have the politeness of the older person next to her. Lao Xu also brought himself a bowl of tea, took a sip, and said: "Yunlai Town is not far from here, it is not a small place, but it is a big city, larger than the average county seat, you little brothers and girls are probably from other places, I don't know the situation in Yunlai Town." ”
Ping Qing, Ping Jian and Cangyun all blushed, not to mention the other four. has lived in Qingjian Mountain for ten years, so close to Yunlai Town, and now he is said to be a foreigner, and at the same time he secretly hates several masters in his heart.
Lao Xu saw that their faces were wrong, and thought that they were young, and they were embarrassed to be said that outsiders did not understand the geographical situation, where could he guess their thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Little brothers, little girls, what are you going to Yunlai Town for?"
Murong Su said: "We are going to Yunlai Town to earn some silver taels." ”
Old Xu Qi said: "Don't blame me for Tuoda, you are not very old, right? ”
Ping Jian said: "It's just that the family is unlucky. ”
Lao Xu thought that the adults in the family of Ping Jian and others were dead, and hurriedly said: "I talk nonsense, don't go to your heart." ”
Ping Jian's face leaked the color of vicissitudes, and said: "It's not strange, it's not strange, God's will makes people." ”
The three girls all laughed out loud.
Lao Xu was even more confused, so he had to say: "Then how do you make money? Seeing that you are so young, you can't do any work, right?"
Ping Qing jumped out and said: "Don't underestimate us, we are cultivators, but we have many years of skills," said, pointing at Su Murong and saying: "This is our senior brother, even I can't beat him" and pointed at Murong Su, and said: "This is our second senior sister, even I can't beat her." ”
Lao Xu continued: "Which one have you beaten?"
Ping Qing was angry, and said: "This," turned his head and saw the watery eyes of the two little junior sisters, and thought of the fact that the fifth junior brother had given him so many divine fire talismans, and the fact that he could only fight a draw with the peace sword, he had nothing to say, Zhi Neng screamed, poured tea violently, and squirted out at a faster speed, obviously choking.
Lao Xu still admired it and said, "It turns out that you are all cultivators, and you are disrespectful and disrespectful. I don't know which sect you little Daoist is from?"
Cangyun said: "We are Qingjian Guan disciples. ”
Lao Xu thought hard for a long time, but he didn't come up with a clear sword view, but he said that he had little knowledge, and said: "It turns out that it is the Taoist leader of the Qing Sword Temple, why did you little Taoist come to Yunlai Town thousands of miles away? Could it be that there are monsters in the town?"
Cangyun secretly said which eye of yours saw that we were not from far away, or said: "We are just passing by, stop by and see what can be done." ”
Lao Xu said: "I see, there are a lot of people who come to Yunlai Town every day, and when you come to Yunlai Town, it shouldn't be difficult to find a Taoist who makes money." If you can't find someone to ask you to do it for a while, you can go to Yunlai Square in Yunlai Town, where the largest number of people gather, merchants, travelers, and merchants. ”
Su Murong said: "Thank you for your advice." ”
After chatting for a while, everyone was ready to go on the road, Lao Xu really thought that these small road chiefs were really dead elders in the family, and they didn't charge tea money, so before leaving, Lao Xu pointed to a big road and said: "A few small road chiefs, you can go to Yunlai Town in one hour along this big road." ”
After Cangyun and the others thanked them again, they went straight to Yunlai Town. The city gate of Yunlai Town is very majestic, and I saw Cangyun and others who left the view for the first time and stood for a long time. After entering the city, everything is fresh, and I drill around in various shops. As far as Murong Su and Su Murong still remembered the purpose of going down the mountain, when the junior brothers and sisters were wandering around, the two of them also asked the shop owner if he needed to do something. When the bosses saw a few teenage children saying that they wanted to get rid of the demons, and then looked at the expressions of a few of them, they all said that there are no monsters in a harmonious society now.
After walking around Yunlai Town for most of the day, in addition to satisfying the curiosity of Cangyun and others, none of them wanted to find them to eliminate demons. In the end, I had no choice but to follow Lao Xu's suggestion, and a few people ran to Yunlai Square.
Yunlai Square is crowded with people, and there are all kinds of small vendors, nothing more than jewelry, rouge, or children's toys, etc., and the big shops are all on the commercial street.
Cang Yun asked, "Senior brother, how do we find someone who needs to do something?"
Su Murong also had a headache and didn't know how to find customers. Pingqing and Heping Sword glanced at each other, and shouted directly at the crowd: "Professional demon exterminator, who has something unclean at home to come to us! That big brother, see that your Yin Tang is black, there are monsters in the house."
The man who was named by Ping Qingping Jian was flushed, and shouted, "What nonsense are you kids?" strode away. The crowd burst into laughter. Now no one has come to ask the sword audience.
A few people sat on the side of the road with their heads down, not knowing what to do.
"You little babies, can you get rid of demons?" asked an old man in rich clothes.
Su Murong raised his head and said, "Yes, old man, there are monsters in your house?"
The old man smiled and said: "There are no monsters in my house, but what are you little babies who can catch demons? Besides, how can anyone come over if you call it like this, it is really a family with dirty things in the house, and they have all gone to the big Taoist temples or temples to ask for masters, who will believe you little babies?"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, speechless.
The old man looked at Cangyun and the others and felt pitiful, and said, "How many of you can pray for blessings?"
All eyes were on Cangyun.
Murong Su said: "This, it can be regarded as some, our five junior disciples are good at talismans, and there is a method of praying for blessings." ”
The old man said happily: "Okay, how many of you are willing to go to the old man's house and do a prayer for blessings? If you do a good job, the old man will introduce you to the old man's friends, so good?"
Cangyun was very happy, and Murong Su asked in a low voice, "Old man, do you know each other from your family?"
"Huh?" the old man was puzzled, and everyone did not explain, so they happily came to the old man's house. After all, this is the first business.
The old man's home is in the northeast of Yunlai Town, and when Cangyun and others came to the door of the old man's house, they found that the old man's home was magnificent, either an official eunuch or a rich man. The gate is tall, and there are two guards guarding the door, and a plaque is hung above the gate, and the two big characters of Zhao Mansion are written in gilt.
Zhu Xue said: "Old man, your home is so beautiful. This is Zhao Mansion, so your surname is Zhao?"
The old man loves Murong Su very much, Zhu Xue and Suzaku are a few girls, Murong Su is luxurious, Zhu Xue and Suzaku are absolute beauties, and people always feel that they are their daughters or granddaughters when they see them. The old man said: "Yes, the old man is surnamed Zhao, and he is also the owner of this house, come, follow the old man into the door." ”
Seeing that it was the old man returning, the two men hurriedly clasped their fists and saluted: "Master." ”
The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's go." "Took Cangyun and his group of seven people into the Zhao Mansion.
The Zhao Mansion is even more carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions, and Cangyun Secret Road doesn't know what the identity of this old man is, and he has such a luxurious mansion.
The old man took everyone to the living room, beckoned a few maids to wait for Cangyun to serve refreshments, and went to the back house to change clothes.
Taking advantage of the old man's absence, Cang Yun asked: "Senior brothers, senior sisters, senior sisters, what do you think of this old man's identity? Such a luxurious mansion should be a person with great status, such a person will find us to do things, should we go to the master, right?"
Su Murong said: "Senior brother's thinking is reasonable, but I can't figure it out." ”
Pingqing Heping Jian only cared about stuffing refreshments into his mouth, and when he heard Cangyun asking, he just whined in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what was said.
Murong Su said: "It may also be that the old man sees us pitiful and deliberately helps us." ”
Cangyun said: "I hope so." ”
Suzaku said: "I don't think the old gentleman is a bad person. ”
Su Murong said: "Improvisation." ”
After sitting for a while, the sound of footsteps came, and the old man's voice was heard: "Come, I'll show you a few little babies." ”
