Chapter 2 Spring Festival Party (1) The way back
Sun Weifeng rode on his black-spotted brown mare, hanging the hammerhead bat head on the left side of the horse. As he got closer to the Imperial City, the temperature gradually warmed up, and the hammerhead bat's head got smellier and smellier. He originally knew that Bailing Province was the worst place in the whole empire, but he really didn't expect that after walking for such a long time, he had passed through five or six villages, and as a result, he didn't even meet a doctor who could embalm.
Originally, the small village in the shadow of the hammerhead bat was the capital of Bailing Province further north, but Sun Weifeng still wanted to participate in the Spring Festival celebrations, but he didn't go there, and the result was that Sun Weifeng now had to cut off the rotten part of the head over and over again.
And now, the threshold between the two provinces has passed, and you will definitely be able to meet a doctor who can embalm in the imperial province. The atmosphere in the Imperial Province is really much better than that in the Northeast Province, as soon as you pass the pass, you can see that there are farmers busy working in the fields on both sides of the road, and the ground is not as white as the Bailing Province, the snow in the Imperial Province has begun to melt, and some places still show a touch of emerald green, the creek has also washed away the snow by the stream, and the fields do not know what kind of birds are also chirping, this scene full of vitality is very different from Bailing Province, "and the scene in the headquarters is also very different", Sun Weifeng said to himself.
Anyway, as soon as he entered the imperial province, Sun Weifeng felt as if he was at home, he liked everything in the imperial province, except for the imperial palace. Sun Weifeng has never entered the palace once when he has grown so big, what is the scene inside, he can only use imagination, what kind of gold statues, jeweled concubines and rare beasts around the world, anyway, all kinds of gold and splendor. But Sun Weifeng can be said to have no interest in the palace at all, and because the palace directly controls every move of the Qiankun faction, Sun Weifeng has a trace of fear of the palace, if it weren't for the cruel regulations issued by the palace, maybe those orphans who want to become demon envoys will not die.
Sun Weifeng only feels happy when he goes out on a mission, even if he sometimes faces the risk of monsters tearing himself apart, it is more comfortable than training at the headquarters, and this time after the Spring Festival, it will be Sun Weifeng's turn to carry out the safari post, and the whole year will be planned by himself, which is a rare freedom for the demon envoy of the Qiankun faction. It's just that when it's your turn to be stationed at the door again, you will be a teacher, and when the time comes, you will have to train apprentices at each station, and you will definitely witness the unfortunate death of some apprentices, how will you bear it when the time comes?
Thinking of this, Sun Weifeng thought about whether he would become insensitive in the end like some old teachers, and take life and death as indifferent, and use what "the will of the gods and the emperor" to paralyze himself...... Damn, how am I going to take that?
Sun Weifeng grabbed his "Hua Dan", there was a village in front of him, Sun Weifeng remembered there, he had passed there when he went to Bailing Province, but it was still winter, even the imperial province was also covered by snowflakes, no one was active in the village at that time, and Sun Weifeng only picked up a pot of wine in the inn. Now, some distance from the village, some children can be seen chasing and fighting, and the streets are crowded, like a vibrant picture.
Sun Weifeng pinched the belly of "Hua Dan" hard, and the mare began to gallop. "Hua Dan", the name was still "Hua Dan" at the beginning, Sun Weifeng had just left the school at that time, and he had already got a set of his own equipment, and he also received his own demon slaying sword in the arsenal, but he didn't have his own horse. That day, he went to the rancher's breeding room with six other brothers who were out of the same period, and one of the brothers directly took away some solid-colored stallions, they thought that those stallions were more endurance and more handsome, but Sun Weifeng fell in love with this spotted mare, at that time the horse was far away from other horses, and looked very lonely, just like himself, but its eyes were bright, as if it had always had good expectations for the future, and because it was a mare, if he was lucky enough to live to the "flower egg" On the day of retirement, maybe you can ride your child instead of forgetting about it and picking a new horse. As for why "Hua Dan" later became "Hua Dan" , That's because every year in the imperial city of the Spring Festival, there is a pair of talented singers, they are very famous in the whole empire, usually only in the theater can see them perform, that can be described as a hard to find, many dignitaries can not buy tickets, not to mention even free Sun Weifeng, fortunately, they will perform during the Spring Festival, Sun Weifeng once had the honor to listen to a song, the appearance of the talented woman is really sunken fish and geese, the man is also very handsome, a scholar of literature and ink, the two always cooperate tacitly, you and me, Sun Weifeng is very envious of them, Sun Weifeng in order to commemorate that day, he changed the name of his mount to"Hua Dan".
Just as Sun Weifeng was recalling, the voice of a man in front of him interrupted him: "Do you want to stop and rest?"
It was a chubby man with a smile on his face, beckoning Sun Weifeng into the store to rest. Sun Weifeng looked up and found that this is a small village, obviously a small town, and the scene here is completely different from when Sun Weifeng passed by here.
At that time, the road was covered with snow, but now the merchants have set up their own bunks on both sides, selling clothes, food, and jewelry. The customers who came to their shop were also dressed in festive clothes, some of them could be seen at a glance as dignitaries, Sun Weifeng's memory of those aristocrats on weekdays were all high-spirited, and now those people were full of smiles on their faces, and from time to time they laughed because of the merchant's sycophants, but most of those nobles gathered in jewelry stores and clothing stores, and those shops that sold food rarely saw their shadows. But that's not to say that the shop that sells food is not patronized, on the right of Sun Weifeng is a shop that sells food, a group of children around the shop pulling the sleeves of their respective parents and begging, and the owner of the shop is also constantly introducing those parents.
Sun Weifeng has only participated in the Spring Festival celebration of the imperial province twice so far, once when he just entered the Qiankun faction, and the other time was when he just left the school, in fact, there is another time, but Sun Weifeng at that time in the north did not come back in time, and just two days before the start of the Spring Festival, a cat left a permanent scar on Sun Weifeng's eyes, so Sun Weifeng is more willing to forget the Spring Festival.
"Ahh
Sun Weifeng asked the fat man about the location of the nearest pharmacy, and hurriedly left the crowd, people cast disgusted glances along the way, and Sun Weifeng just lowered his head and said nothing.
When he arrived at the pharmacy, Sun Weifeng finally exhaled, the pharmacy seemed very deserted at this time, only a few people inquired about the condition or bought supplements, and the store manager also showed a trace of disdain when he saw the Demon Envoy coming to the store, because he had to do voluntary labor again. The store manager angrily asked Sun Weifeng to find a place to wait and call the doctor to work. Sun Weifeng felt that a long time had passed, and unconsciously began to doze off, and when he was woken up, it was getting late.
After Sun Weifeng left the pharmacy, there were fewer pedestrians on the streets, and some merchants began to clean up their shops, and there was already a long queue at the gate of Pinglan City in the distance. Sun Weifeng did not go to the city, and after Pinglan City, he entered the outskirts of Wuhuang City, where the headquarters of the Qiankun faction was located.
Sun Weifeng let "Hua Dan" trot, and along the way, people on both sides hung red ever-bright lanterns at the door of their houses, and the images or fonts of different spirits were painted on the lampshades. At night in this season, there will always be some cold breezes, and the slight cold wind and bright lights accompany Sun Weifeng as he walks.
When Sun Weifeng finally arrived at the gate of the headquarters, it was close to midnight. Sun Weifeng didn't really want to enter the headquarters, and for him it was more intimate with the outside world.
The headquarters was built on a mountain peak, and the gate at the foot of the mountain was the main passage, and above it were more than 20,000 stairs. Above the first floor is the training place and armory, except for the main administrative department and the grandmaster's resting place on the top of the highest mountain, all the middle is the training ground, the higher the up, the more difficult it is, the stronger the intensity, the road to the top is the most painful, and every time the grandmaster summons, reports the task and sends a message, he has to climb the 20,000 steps. For Sun Weifeng, that section of the road was the most uncomfortable, in fact, no matter who it was, fortunately, the Demon Sealing Envoy who went out on a mission could take a slow wooden cable car and directly reach the 18,000th staircase, and the original intention of the wooden cable car was only for the convenience of the old grandmaster.
Sun Weifeng looked at the high top of the mountain, and the moonlight at night should be on the tiles, outlining a gray tone, even on the eve of the Spring Festival, it looked lifeless. Although Sun Weifeng was very reluctant to enter the headquarters, he had to hand over the errand anyway, and he could only look forward to the next year's safari post.
So, Sun Weifeng led the horse and knocked on the door.
