Poetry, moon viewing, wine fighting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
An elegant gathering can best highlight the status and identity, especially the owner of the party, which will become a dazzling existence like the stars holding the moon.
In the early morning of the next day, when Xu Yan was dressed in the neat clothes of his buddy, and Qian Qianqian, who was dressed as a maidservant, walked out of the tea shop and came to Mingxi Building, the largest restaurant in the city, there were already cars and horses outside the huge restaurant.
It's not a guest who came to eat and drink, there were pots and bowls of wine and vegetables in the car, crabs with big mouths, shrimp with a long palm, and water splashed in a large tank as high as one person, and a big fish jumped out, fell to the ground and jumped non-stop, and was hurriedly caught back by the little guy.
Hundreds of cooks and hundreds of apprentices gathered together, and the lively scene was that almost the entire Mingxi Building was emptied, in order to be a banquet for high rollers.
Zhen Wuming's shot this time can be called generous, the incense courtyard used by Cangming Temple to receive lay pilgrims also has food, there is no shortage of wine and food, but it hired the cook of Mingxi Building and countless maidservants, not to mention how many real strongmen there are in attendance, just this preparation alone is enough to surprise Zhuji and even Jindan monks.
Mingxi Lou is the largest restaurant in Mashoufang City, a meal without a hundred and ten spirit stones is almost the same, it is said that the best spirit wine thousand pieces of spirit stone in an altar, can be called a high value, ordinary gold pill can not afford to drink.
"Hurry up, put the valuables into storage bags, put the live animals of cattle and sheep into the cart, a hundred and ten miles away, the evening is the moon appreciation conference, there is no salary if you go late!"
Mingxi Building, which is responsible for holding this moon viewing conference, is obviously not enough manpower, so a group of outsiders were hired in advance, and the steward who was responsible for preparing the carriage and horses at the door had a foundation to build a foundation and repair, and the shouting was full of confidence.
"Come, come the horse steward!" Qian Qianqian bypassed the carriage and horse to the door, and said to the steward: "There is more, one more, I, my uncle's uncle also want to earn some spirit stones, and the horse steward is accommodating." ”
"Qianqian, it's not that I'm not accommodating, this person has been hired, and you don't know, the unknown son entrusted us Mingxi Building to be in charge of this moon appreciation conference, the owner pays for it, we contribute, and it is justified, but this salary does not cost too much, and the spirit stone of the owner is not blown by the wind, you say yes." ”
When Steward Ma saw that it was Qian Qianqian, he copied his hand and shook his head to teach him a lesson.
Xu Yan watched from the sidelines and didn't speak, and after he saw Qian Qianqian stuffing a few spirit stones into the sleeve of the horse steward without a trace, Xu Yan deserved to become a servant of the Moon Appreciation Conference, as long as he successfully completed the conference, he could get a reward of ten spirit stones.
Don't look at the money thousands of people, this way of climbing is extremely skilled, within a moment, the two have been mixed in the team of Mingxi Tower, not long convoy pulled a large number of food and drink to set off, all the way to Cangming Temple a hundred miles away.
Nine secluded valleys lie in the bluestone, Cangming Temple on Cangming Mountain.
Cangming Temple, built in Cangming Mountain, is not only famous for the temple itself, but also famous for Cangming Mountain.
Cangming Mountain, one of the thousand mountains, is famous for the existence of nine deep valleys in the mountain, and the valley can sometimes see several zhang of bluestone lying horizontally, and there are nine streams that are cool in all seasons converge into one at the bottom of the mountain, which is very strange.
The distance of 100 miles is not too far, and in less than half a day, the mountains and magnificent temples in the distance are already close in front of you.
If you want to go to Cangming Temple, you must climb the mountain, but in these years, as Cangming Temple has become more and more famous, the original winding mountain road has already been built into a road that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages.
Along the way, you can see the deep canyon and huge bluestones at the bottom of the mountain, and the stream is as crisp as a ribbon, floating into the distance.
"Famous mountains and ancient temples, Buddhist holy places, less than the Sword Sect, I don't know how much it costs to build such a temple, and when I am successful, I will also open a sect, choose a famous mountain blessed land, build a cave Tianxiantai, and collect disciples!"
Sitting in the car, Qian Qianqian, who came to Cangming Mountain, didn't know if he was influenced by the sacred breath of the famous mountains and ancient temples, not only did he have lofty ideals, but he didn't stutter anymore.
Xu Yan sounded interesting, and thought that Xiaocai was enlightened, and wanted to concentrate on cultivation, after all, with Qian Qianqian's cultivation talent, he could break through the foundation building at the age of less than twenty, as long as he practiced hard, it should not be difficult to achieve Yuanying.
For the motivated juniors, most of the elders will mention a few words, and they will praise them if they are the worst, and before Xu Yan could speak, Qian Qianqian continued to mutter.
"Let the disciples and grandchildren stay at the mountain gate to sell tickets, and want to visit the cave here, well, ten spirit stones are a ticket, and you will be able to make a fortune in a few years......"
As soon as he heard that ten spirit stones were a ticket, Xu Yan's face turned dark, and he reprimanded: "Which one of the founding sects is not a Yuanying powerhouse, the Yuanying powerhouse, just ten spirit stones for a ticket?"
"Less, less, then eleven yuan!" Qian Qianqian nodded vigorously, thinking that Uncle Xu had taught him a lesson.
"Qianqian, can we have some interest?" Xu Yan said helplessly: "Yuanying Cave Mansion, how can you get twenty spirit stones for a visit, otherwise what years can you return to the original?"
"What Uncle Xu said is extremely true! It's just twenty spirit stones, and on the day I start the sect, the ticket will sell twenty spirit stones, and I am only allowed to visit for half a day, and I don't care about food!"
"The child can be taught, your little girl's future attainments are unlimited......"
Listening to the praise of this little uncle, Qian Qianqian was elated, as long as she mentioned money, she liked it.
"The years of exile with your father were very hard. Xu Yan looked at the valley outside the car and said seemingly casually.
At the mention of the experience of exile, Qian Qianqian's happy appearance immediately disappeared, lowered his head and stopped talking, and said after a while: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I'm very hungry, and I never get enough to eat...... I like to sit on the wall opposite the bun shop, look at the white smoke rising from the cage drawer, and imagine that the white smoke is a big meat bun, and I won't go hungry for three days. ”
"So you're afraid of poverty, so you're desperate to make money, and even though you've partnered to open a tea shop, you're still going around deceiving people with fake fruits. ”
Xu Yan still looked out the window, and whispered in his mouth: "If you want to cheat others, you must be prepared to be cheated, sometimes the price of trapping people will be so terrible that you can't imagine, your Taoism is too shallow, this moon appreciation conference is over, go back to the Earth Sword Sect to find your father, at least it is safer to cultivate in the sect." ”
"I'm not going back!" The girl showed her unruly side, and said stubbornly: "Since I was expelled from the sect, I won't go back, I am a casual cultivator, not a slave, and I am not a commodity! ”
"Freedom?" Xu Yan retracted his gaze, looked at the girl opposite curiously, and said, "Give you three thousand spirit stones, buy you a year's freedom, don't cultivate, just be responsible for serving tea and pouring water, sell it or not?"
"Five thousand deals!" Qian Qianqian blurted out without even thinking about it.
As soon as she said this bargaining, she knew that she had been fooled, pouted and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"You see, you can even exchange your freedom for spirit stones, so all your thoughts are not elsewhere, but here. As he spoke, Xu Yan shook the two storage bags in his hand, one of which was ordinary, the other was very small, and the back was embroidered with the girl's embroidery.
"Ah, my storage bag, Uncle Xu give it back to me, that's all my net worth!" Qian Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then pleaded with tears in her eyes.
