The moon looked at the wind, and the gradually larger port not far away faced itself, like an open door to welcome the Xinghai Moon Tower. Sailed from a West Coast port half a month ago and returned half a month later.
Ba Qing observed the celestial phenomena, launched the wave change is the reason for the unpredictable weather of the sea, for a hundred years of rare storms, according to the situation, there is no one or two months, Xinghai Yuelou can not sail, had to return to Dongzi to reorganize the ship. Soon, the storm will descend on Dongzi, but the power will be greatly reduced, and the Xinghai Moon Tower will not be too damaged. In order to protect the ship, Ba Qing and Dongyang used the secret technique of the Xingyue family to increase the speed of the ship, and they were able to get out of trouble in just one day and return to the coast intact. However, this is only temporary, and the crisis is still to come.
"Right, turn back!"
"Anchor and stop!"
"See the port, stop the ship, stop the ship, slow down and stop the ship immediately!"
The navigator ran back and forth between the cockpit and the high platform, keeping an eye on the hull and directing his subordinates to make an emergency landing.
Ba Qing sat on the high platform with a heavy face. Thousands of miles in the sky, dotted with stars, containing the truth of all things. Ba Qing closed his eyes, carefully calculated the next matter, and after a moment, raised his eyes, and muttered: "Inform the Dragoon Guard General to stop the ship for three months, and set sail again before the flying dragon rises." "Yes. The person next to him bowed his head and arched his hand, took a few steps back, and his figure turned into a white light and flew to the bottom of the high platform.
Ba Qing looked at the vast starry sky, the starlight was bleak, and the dark clouds were like silk smoke, strung together into a huge net, covering the starry sky.
I don't know if it's an illusion or a dazzle, but I always feel that the faintest star in the sky is much brighter than last night. The star of the sea god has always been a revelation that shows the changes in the sea. Ba Qing relied on the observation of Neptune to direct the direction of the ship, and now that the storm is raging, there will be no rest for ten days and a half months, and the plan to find the immortal mountain is about to be shelved.

Xinghai Yuelou gradually approached the shore, the hull was too large to get any closer to the shore, and the sailors put down the small boat prepared in the cabin and rowed back and forth between the shore and the ship.
The navigator received the order from above, and summoned all the soldiers to orderly direct all the escorts, maidservants, and disciples on board the boat, and the sailors took them to the shore in waves.
Han Wen had already seen the opportunity, stole the maid's clothes, put them on Xiao Shi and himself, lowered his head, and landed in the crowd like this.
The sky was as dark as ink, and the two huddled in the van hugged each other to keep warm. Hangul has heard that Dongzi is close to the sea, and it is as bright as spring all year round, but it is warm during the day and cold as the sea at night. She knew that it was because of the sea that there was a difference in temperature between day and night. "I knew it was so cold here, so I should have brought some more clothes. She carefully wrapped her cloak tightly for Xiao Shi. They escaped from the boat, and although there were no accidents, and it went unexpectedly, and luckily there was a carriage parked on the shore to load the things that had been brought down from the ship, and they sneaked out of the maidservants, hid in the cargo behind the carriage, and left the west bank all the way to the city.
This night was destined to be restless, nervous escape, the night was cold, Xiao Shi's already pale face was as white as a blank piece of paper, and the distressed Han Wen hurriedly hugged her to keep each other warm.

Xinghai Yuelou was basically emptied of everyone, only Wuyue and Haoyue were nowhere to be found, Dongyang and Ba Qing didn't seem to be worried about the whereabouts of their fellow men, and only ordered the boat to be parked, and everyone stayed in the nearby officials' mansion for the time being.
Wuyue and Haoyue, who were left on the boat by everyone, were standing in a deep and silent corridor at this moment, and the agarwood doors in front of them were all open to welcome guests.
"It's late. ā
Wu Yue let go of the hand holding the little girl and came to the first door, stroking the pattern on it, and there was a little burn mark left by the disappearance of the paper symbol. "It seems that we have to inform the Star Emperor in a hurry. She frowned slightly, and her beautiful face showed a look of surprise. "What's going on, why is there a trace of another person's breath. His eyes glazed over, at the end of the hallway, the last door in the distance. She didn't care about the hazy moon behind her, her pace could be said to be hurried, but she came to the gate after a while. She paused for a moment before pushing the door open, and a gust of cold wind swirled out with the petals, and Haoyue, who had just kept up with her pace, immediately hugged her arms and shivered a little.
"Haoyue, you stay here, you can't come in without my permission, understand?"
She looked back at Haoyue with a stern expression that could not be refused.
Haoyue nodded timidly, not daring to look at her.
There was a bang, and the door shut.
The Zhu door is closed, the courtyard is full of fragrance, and the pale white mist covers the cherry blossom trees with a veil, like an isolated palace, which is silently telling the visitors at this moment that the original owner here has long been gone.
Wu Yue came to the tree, stretched out her hand to pick a cherry blossom, and sighed lightly: "The flowers are fruitless, is the wish of the Star Emperor really folded here?" Turning his head to look at the palace door, he said to himself coldly: "Su Qing, don't blame the Star Emperor for breaking your promise, since the four forbidden spells can't lock you up, it's up to the heavens to decide whether you go or stay." ā
The secluded palace is silent, the woman in red flicks her red sleeves under the tree, and suddenly the cold wind blows, the petals tremble, and they rush to fall all over the ground, and there is no flower on the cherry blossom tree. She stood on the ground paved with flowers, her fingertips twisting the pink and white petals, letting the wind take it away a little.

The port on the west bank invaded a silhouette in the distance, and the surging river rose in fog and haze.
Taking advantage of the convenience of the coachman to dismount, Han Wen crept out of the truck with the frozen little ten and ran into the roadside forest, with fireflies shining in front of him, as if it was the world-famous city - Dongzi.
After a short time, out of the forest, a long stream of water separates the phantom city on that side, and the stars are reflected, and the river is shining, and the lights in the city are bright, as if it were day. The two of them wrapped themselves in the bustling crowd, entered the magnificent south gate, and stepped into Dongzi.
The first time they came to this famous city, both of them were at a loss and were dazzled for a while. The streets are full of lights, teahouses and restaurants, and cars and horses come and go like a river, almost blocking the main road, and the water is impassable.
Han Wen was already tired after running around all night, and Xiao Shi was also dazed and had no strength. She took Xiao Shi to find a teahouse that looked good.
Five
Chunhelou, Han Wen glared at Xiao Er sharply, and said lukewarmly: "You said you don't live as a guest?"
"Yes. Miss is late today, our store is full, please find another store. Xiao Erha explained.
Han Wen glanced at the store, well, there are not many people, but she is not blind, there is a sign hanging on the wall behind the tent, isn't there a vacant room, and fooling people is also a bit technical.
She has never liked people who open their eyes and talk nonsense, so she unceremoniously pulled Xiao Shijing to go straight to the second floor from Xiao Er, and threw a brocade bag behind her without turning her head when she went upstairs. Xiao Er opened it and saw that it was full of glittering gold ingots. "This guest officer, you can't help it. Xiao Er shouted behind at a loss, not knowing whether to stop her or ask her to go upstairs.
"Forget it, let these two guest officers stay in, anyway, our rooms are a lot empty. I don't know when a beautiful woman stood in the corridor, wiping her hands with a handkerchief, and she condescendingly instructed Xiao Er to do other work.
"Two young ladies, how long are you going to stay?" her smart eyes rested on Han Wen below.
Han Wen glanced at the person and saw that this woman was the proprietress of this Chunhe Building, but he was not polite, and took Xiao Shi upstairs to take care of himself, and under the gaze of the proprietress, he looked up and returned to the other party with a kind smile: "It won't be long, as long as the money I paid will leave when it runs out." ā
The proprietress was stunned: "Miss's words are serious?"
Hangul nodded.
The proprietress smiled, full of style. "I've never seen such an interesting guest officer like you, and the money you paid is probably enough to buy this store. ā
Han Wen shook his head undeniably: "What's the matter, I'm afraid it's enough to stay for three days." ā
"How?" the proprietress didn't expect her to say that, slightly shocked. "This shop is more low-key than other magnificent shops, and its appearance is a little inferior to the nearby luxury tea houses, but as soon as you enter the door, you can smell the fragrance of the top yellow tea, which is still Junshan Yinzhen tea; As soon as she entered the door, she smelled a high taste, and knew that it was good tea when she smelled it, this shop was really luxurious, and she dared to use Junshan silver needle tea, how rich she was!
The proprietress listened to the guest officer's eloquent words, and was surprised that this girl, who looked less than twenty years old, was a tea connoisseur. She chuckled, and under the incomprehensible gaze of the guest officer, she stepped aside, made way of the way, and said, "Two guest officers, please, one of the rooms inside is empty." ā
"Only one?" Han Wen raised an eyebrow.
"Well, since the lady has recognized the difference between our store and other stores, she must know that the accommodation fee of this store is also different. ā
Han Wen took a deep breath, not caring on the surface, but in fact, he felt sorry for the bag of gold in his heart. She didn't speak, and led Xiao Shi past the proprietress in a playful manner. She always felt that this woman always looked at Xiao Shi with a very strange look, as if she was looking; Xiao Shi couldn't speak, so she kept following her, because her body was covered with a cloak and she was wearing a coat and hat, and she couldn't distinguish between men and women just from her appearance.
After entering the room, Han Wen closed the door, took off his cloak, and removed his coat and hat for Xiao Shi. Under the candlelight, Xiao Shi's face was beautiful for a long time, and Han Wen didn't look too much at it, and he didn't dare to look directly at that beautiful face.
"Little Shi, hurry up and drink some tea to warm up. She handed Xiao Eleven a cup of tea, and said angrily: "It's too bad, a house is so expensive, so much gold is only enough for three days." Anyway, the tea is free, it's still famous tea, and I'm sorry for myself if I don't drink more. ā
Before leaving Xinghai Moon Tower, just in case, she loaded a lot of gold ingots from Zhonghua Palace in case of emergency. Chunhelou was actually a little angry when she saw that the door of this store was not so gorgeous than the one next to her, and thought it was not much more expensive, and when she saw that the shopkeeper did not accept customers, she was a little angry in her heart, so she paid the bag of gold hard. This shop is really unseemly, it is more than half a star more expensive than others, and now she has half a bag of gold left, and it is time for her to live a life of careful calculation.
"Little Ten, it's late, it's time for us to sleep. ā
Xiao Shi didn't know when he stood in front of the window, holding a teacup and looking out.
Han Wen was a little cold, closed the window, made the bed, quickly took off Xiao Shi's clothes, took off his own, and went to bed.
Covering the same quilt, Han Wen warmed Xiao Shi's cold hands in his palms. After Xiao Shi left Zhonghua Palace, her body temperature was even colder than when she met her, and her complexion was getting worse and worse, and the white was scary, Han Wen was worried and decided to take her to see the doctor tomorrow morning.
Six
The doctor can't see it.
Xiao Shi was fine the next day, and her body temperature returned to the normal person's body temperature overnight, and Han Wen thought it was the reason why he was holding her to sleep.
After all, it was the first time to come to the Central Plains, and Han Wen was still quite interested in Dongzi, but Xiao Shi was too dazzling, and she was not as beautiful, she had learned to disguise before, and it took a long time to turn Xiao Shi into an ordinary woman. When they went out, it was close to noon, during which Xiao Shi's face was gloomy and she changed into the ordinary clothes she had prepared, and her reluctant appearance made Han Wen cry and laugh.
Xiao Shi not only has too high taste for clothes, but is also extremely picky about food.
The Green Buddha tea cake in Chunhelou is said to be famous in Dongzi, Xiao Shi tasted it and spit it out, which caused the eyes of the shopkeeper to eat people, and without saying a word, he withdrew the original free tea shop, and even the tea was taken away. "Our shop is simple, please move to another store to taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas. "It's a welcome eviction. Han Wen knew that she was at a loss, and dragged Xiao Shi to run away, she was afraid that if she stayed for another second, people would hit them with tea cakes.
Lunch was hastily eaten on the side of the street, Xiao Shi hated flatbread and didn't eat it even if she was killed, Han Wen couldn't resist her, and bought a box of delicate snacks, but she still didn't eat it. Helplessly, Han Wen asked her to find something to eat by herself, she glanced at the nearby store building and pointed to Han Wen's back.
"Are you sure you want to eat here?" Han Wen looked at the gate of the Caiying Zhuhu in front of him, and had difficulty breathing.
The door plaque is inlaid with gold color and engraved with the three big characters of "Zhaoyu Pavilion", you don't have to think about it to understand what industry it does, how did Xiao Shi take a fancy to this fireworks willow land? Ordinary women are afraid of this kind of place, Xiao Shi is a daughter lady raised in the deep gate of the boudoir. Simply like a white rabbit.
Seven
Zhaoyu Pavilion was killed and could not enter, and Han Wen almost rudely dragged Xiao 11 Road across Luoyu Street. Xiao Shi was very curious about new things, and every Caiying Zhu Hu couldn't help but stop and take a look, of course, she was dragged away without any suspense.
I finally walked through the fireworks and willow alleys and came to the big street with the smell of wine. Han Wen found out that Jiujie was very close to Luoyu Street.
"It's so fragrant, the wine here is so fragrant. Hangul closed his eyes in pleasure and smelled the scent in the air.
Xiao Shi let go of the hand held by Han Wen, and also closed her eyes and sniffed, sniffing, she was attracted by the smell of wine, and slowly led away.
"Xiao Shi!" Han Wen turned around and found that Xiao Shi was nowhere to be seen, so he hurriedly searched around, and finally saw Xiao Shi standing at the door of someone's store in a simple restaurant, motionless.
Han Wen walked over and knocked her curiously, "Don't run around, something will happen if you can't find you." After that, following her gaze, Han Wen knew why Xiao Shi couldn't take his eyes off it, it turned out that the owner of the store was pouring wine inside, a jar of wine was placed on both sides of the hall, and a square table was placed in the vacant place in the middle;
The wine jar is a ceramic that can be seen everywhere, but the wine inside is as clear as spring water, crystal clear, looking at the wine makes people salivate; it is rare that this wine is fragrant and sweet, the first smell is like the cold wind into the bones, blowing the body and bones, and then smelling like the spring breeze in March, and the five organs and six lungs are warm and warm.
Han Wen wanted to take a sip, looked at Xiao Shi in a daze, and smiled. "Stunned, let's try it. ā
Xiao Shi turned his head to look at her and nodded happily.
"Boss, what kind of wine are you, can you sell me a jar?" she asked politely.
The white-haired boss put down his spoon and was covered with weather. "I'm sorry, not for sale. ā
"Why?" "Rich people don't sell alcohol, this boss is so strange. She poked her head out and looked left and right, the shop was very small, there were many things, and the small shop was piled up like a full warehouse, but it was clean and tidy.
"You can't afford it. ā
The boss's four words poured a jar of cold water on her on the spot, and she was petrified all of a sudden, opened her mouth wide, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
He said she couldn't afford it, so why?
"I'm very rich, and I can afford to buy even the most expensive wine in the world. Han Wen touched his pocket, but fortunately the money was there, and said word by word: "Of course, I can also buy wine that money can't buy." ā
The girl's arrogant words loosened the boss's dull face a little. "Little girl, don't talk too much. ā
Han Wen raised his head, his eyebrows and eyes crooked, and grinned: "I'm just saying by the way, there are many things in this world that money can't buy." She took Xiao Shi's hand and walked out of the store.
At the last sentence that seemed to be half joking and half serious, the boss opened his obscure eyes, like a piece of dried green bamboo, and stood upright.
Outside the door, Xiao Shi pouted, and he didn't want to leave even if Han Wen was good at talking, so he wanted wine very much. Han Wen was quite helpless, what could people do if they didn't sell her.
