Volume 2: Ten Thousand Flame Soul Domain Chapter 269: Mysterious Objects
Lin Er on the side was also a little surprised to see the guards around the city lord of Yancheng come to his shop, and looked at Shi Xiao with a puzzled expression. Seeing this, Shi Xiao smiled and said:
"The city lord invites, come when you go!"
With that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the store with the two soldiers.
After a night of precipitation on this continent, the temperature in the early morning was not so uncomfortable, a trace of refreshment blew onto Shi Xiao's face, and Shi Xiao, who had not slept all night, was not so sleepy at this time.
Shi Xiao came to a car and walked up under the guidance of the soldiers, with two unknown giant beasts pulling the car in front of him. Shi Xiao had never seen anything like this, like a moving house, beautifully decorated on the outside, and even more so on the inside.
The soldier snorted softly, and the two giant beasts also moved. The giant beasts in the grass hut under the big tree not far away seemed to have heard this shout, and they all raised their huge heads to look at Shi Xiao's side.
"What kind of beast is this?" Shi Xiao asked.
"Walking beasts. The soldier sitting outside the carriage introduced.
At the beginning, the big tiger was also moving on a giant beast, and it seems that his behavior is not unique to that continent.
The speed of the car was very gentle, and he couldn't feel the bumps at all, Shi Xiao sat on the car and swayed gently, but he was sleepy. But at this time, the scenery outside the car window also attracted Shi Xiao's attention, through the car window, looking at the mountains in the distance, the original sleepiness was not there.
There are some vegetation planted on both sides of a wide gravel road at intervals, and the people who come and go are also wearing their heads and covering their faces.
What made Shi Xiao strange was that there were women and children who came and went, and there were few strong men to be seen. At the distance to the city gate, there were only two or three sturdy men, and they were only carrying beasts, and they were pulling large bags of things behind them.
When there was a pillar of incense, Shi Xiao's ears also heard a noisy shout, he opened the curtain and looked out the window. At this time, we have arrived in Yancheng, and there are some small vendors on both sides of the wide stone road, selling things.
At this time, a look was captured by Shi Xiao, Shi Xiao poked his head out slightly, and a dirty child stood barefoot on the side of the road, his hands in front of his stomach in front of the shabby clothes rolled up at the corners of the clothes, his hair was messy, his face was blue and purple, and it was more mud.
The height of the child is only as tall as the wheel that Shi Xiao is sitting on, and his appearance is not clear, but what makes Shi Xiao remember deeply is the child's eyes, but those bright eyes reveal despair.
I don't know when the speed of the car got faster, and the figure of the child gradually disappeared from Shi Xiao's sight, and I vaguely saw that there were several similar children behind the child.
After walking along this road for half a burnt incense, the scenery outside the window changed dramatically. The muddy road has become very clean, and although there are few houses on both sides of the road, the yard in front of each house occupies a large area.
The people who come and go are also very rare, and they are all some large families who are dressed to show their status. The children here have no worries, walking on the road, looking ahead with dull eyes, as if they are about to run to some mortal battlefield.
After walking in this rich residential area, there was also a small time for half a stick of incense, and suddenly a tall building attracted Shi Xiao's attention. The building is made of dark metal from top to bottom, with a little red glow in the morning light.
Shi Xiao's car seemed to walk around the outer wall of the building for half a burnt incense before leaving the building behind the car. After passing through a huge red wooden door, I entered the palace of Yancheng.
At this time, there was a drastic change on both sides of the road, and every other step there was a tree, and every ten steps there was a soldier. A vast meadow fell into Shi Xiao's field of vision, and there were flower beds on the grass, on which there were also many children playing and playing.
After walking for a few minutes, the car stopped, the door was opened by the soldiers, and Shi Xiao also knew that he had arrived at the palace of the city lord of Yancheng.
As soon as I got out of the car, a burst of floral fragrance also came from the pavement, and there were some servants around me who were watering the idle flower bed, and this flower fragrance must have come from that flower bed.
As soon as he turned his face, a white castle-like building fell into Shi Xiao's eyes, Shi Xiao walked on the road and roughly counted, there were actually a hundred attics. Under the blue sky and sunlight, these white buildings look particularly solemn and holy.
As the soldier walked towards the building, it didn't take long for him to come to an attic, the soldier didn't speak, Shi Xiao naturally knew about it, and walked in directly.
The only thing left in the large room was a brown wooden table in the center of the room, and all that was left were a few load-bearing wooden pillars carved with strange patterns and giant beasts.
"I didn't expect you to come so early!" Shi Xiao was walking towards an open sliding door on the left side of this room, and at this time, a voice also reached Shi Xiao's ears.
Shi Xiao turned his face to look, Bian Wu was in a long robe and was refreshed, obviously he had gotten up early and had been waiting here for a long time.
"There was something going on last night, and when I saw that your soldiers came to pick me up so early, I came over!" Shi Xiao replied.
At this time, Bian Wu walked over a wooden pillar, walked straight to the table, simply cleaned up all the books on it, and said: "There was something wrong last night, I didn't clean up, come and sit!"
Shi Xiao walked over, and at this time, a step blocked his way, and Bian Wu smiled: "Take off your shoes and you can come up!"
At this time, Shi Xiao understood that this was also the custom of Yancheng that he had heard from Lin Er.
Walking to the desk, Shi Xiao was not restrained, and sat down directly, looking at the door that opened on the left. A small pond outside the door is very conspicuous, and next to the pond there is a gazebo, and the road leading from the door to the pavilion is paved with special stones, although it is a little irregular, but it is very pleasant to look at.
"I didn't know the name of the little brother yesterday!" Bian Wu said with a smile, and at this time, a maid came over with a tea set, knelt on the side to make the tea for the two, and began to clean up the books scattered on the ground.
Although Shi Xiao is not very old, he is also an old tea guest, with a cup of brewed tea in front of him, as him, how can he not be moved. Picking up the tea, Shi Xiao didn't blow it, but sucked it through his nose and said with a smile:
"The sky, the time of time, the sky of the clouds. ”
Bian Wu looked at Shi Xiao so intoxicated by this cup difference, and chuckled: "I didn't expect that little brother Shi likes tea?"
Shi Xiao took a sip and said, "I have a lot of research, but I don't know how to evaluate the tea in you city lords, I can only say one word!"
This sentence made Bian Wu have to reacquaint himself with the man who was in the hotel and almost killed him.
The two drank tea and did not speak for a long time. Sitting quietly on the ground and listening carefully to the chirping of insects and birds outside the window, finally, Shi Xiao couldn't help it, and said:
"Could it be that the city lord invited me to come this time to invite me to a tea place?"
"Hahaha! It's not that I'm not familiar with it, and I want to ask you some questions!" said with a smile.
"Any question, just ask!" Shi Xiao said.
After that, Bian Wu directly took the sign on his waist to the table and gave the maid on the side a look, and the maid immediately put down the tea set in her hand and retreated directly. Shi Xiao glanced at the retreating maid, and then chuckled:
"What else could it be?"
Bian Wu smiled, didn't say a word, and with a sudden force of his right hand, a white mist hit the brand. In an instant, the golden light appeared, and the light of a breath also retreated, and then the thing that appeared in front of Shi Xiao made Shi Xiao's eyes widen, looking at this thing incredulously, and the teacup in his hand was put on the table at some point.
But in the next second, Shi Xiao immediately retracted Fang Cai's expression, and his breathing became a little hasty. Seeing this, Bian Wu also laughed, and then asked:
"What, you know this thing?"
Shi Xiao picked up the teacup again, glanced at the tea leaves inside, took a deep breath, and then drank all the remaining tea in the cup. At this time, Shi Xiao exhaled and replied:
"Where did you get this?"
