Chapter 43 The Legend of the Colorful Clouds

The desolate Loess Plateau is uninhabited, the wind is howling and the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, a young man in a white robe, holding a log in his hand, walks in the yellow sand with difficulty, this young man walking in the yellow sand world is none other than Yang Yi who left the Five Elements Gate. The figure faded away, and soon disappeared into this barren world.

The fiery red sun emitted a scorching breath baking the earth, and suddenly Yang Yi found that there was more vitality around him, a touch of green on the ground under his feet, and the howling wind was slowly weakening. Looking at the green under his feet, Yang Yi had a smile on his face. Tightening his clothes, his right hand grasped the log in his hand even more, and he pressed the ground, lowering his head and continuing to walk.

Maybe it was a quarter of an hour, or maybe it took more time, but Yang Yi saw that the greenery around him was getting thicker and thicker until he couldn't see the existence of yellow sand at all. Yang Yi stopped his footsteps and looked into the distance, only to see that there were some more shrubs not far ahead, sparsely scattered. Yang Yi smiled and continued his aimless travel.

Gradually, there were more and more shrubs, and the trees became taller and taller, and Yang Yi struggled through one obstacle after another. The sun was about to set, Yang Yi still didn't get out of the forest, found a place to sit down casually, looked up at the sky, and thought in his heart: It seems that I have to rest here for one night today.

Yang Yi had just finished eating the food he found in the forest, when he heard a conversation not far from the forest, "How was your harvest today?"

"No, I don't know what's going on, I haven't seen a single hare, let alone any other prey. A rough voice came.

"Forget it, let's go back today, otherwise it's going to be dark, go home and our brothers have a good drink, where did I get some good wine today, hehe." ”

"Okay, I'll go to you today. Let's go, I still have some game somewhere, just to make snacks. ”

Yang Yi heard the conversation between the two and probably knew that these two were hunters, so he hurriedly stood up and chased in the direction where the voice came.

"Two big brothers, please wait. When the two big men heard someone call them, they stopped and looked at Yang Yi. One of the big men asked suspiciously, "I don't know what the little brother called the two of you?"

"Two big brothers, I want to ask if there is a place to stay around here?" Yang Yi asked calmly.

"You can walk ten miles east and you will see a city, and there is one. ”

"So the younger brother has thanked the two eldest brothers here. Yang Yi bowed and thanked him, and walked in the direction pointed by the two.

"Lao Wang, do you think this Yang Yi is a little weird?"

"I said Lao Li, why do you want to do so much, people just ask for directions. Let's go and go back to drinking. The big man surnamed Wang pushed Lao Li beside him and left in a hurry.

Let's say that Yang Yi, who was guided by Wang and Li, walked for about two quarters of an hour and finally came to the edge of the city. The city is not too big, but when he came to the inside of the city, Yang Yi was instantly attracted by the prosperous scene in the city. Although it was already dusk, the city was still full of people, and the sound of gongs and drums resounded throughout the city, and Yang Yi, who was watching all kinds of juggling, was dazzled.

Yang Yi shuttled through the crowd, and he would also applaud when he saw the highlights. After a while, he was interrupted by the sound of gurgling in his stomach, and Yang Yi smiled bitterly: "Let's find a place to stay first." Yang Yi shuttled through the crowd to search, and finally found a restaurant, and entered without hesitation.

Xiao Er of the restaurant saw someone coming in, hurriedly greeted him, and asked Yang Yi, "Guest officer, do you want to eat or sharpen up?"

"Sharp, but you'll have to get me something to eat first. Yang Yi replied calmly.

"Okay, I don't know what you want to eat, officer?"

"What do you have here?"

"We have roasted whole lamb, braised carp, spicy beef, ......"

"Alright, let's take the first three dishes you just mentioned, and a good pot of wine. ”

"Okay, you wait, it's right away. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen. A quarter of an hour later, the dish ordered by Yang Yi was ready. Xiao Er said respectfully to Yang Yi: "Guest, use it slowly." ”

"Wait a minute, what day is it, why is it so lively?"

"Guest, you are from outside, today is our annual Gabi Festival in Windy City, and it will be so lively at this time. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"If there is nothing to do with the guest officer, I will go down. Yang Yi nodded when he saw this, and Xiao Er went down respectfully.

Yang Yi was eating quietly, and after a while, a rough voice came from outside, "Xiao Er, give the master good wine and food, come right away." As soon as the words fell, four big men came in from outside, and Yang Yi looked at the four of them and looked at them seriously. When Xiao Er heard the words of the visitor, he hurriedly came to the four of them, and his body bent slightly to look more respectful. "Master Hu, you're here, please. ”

"It's still the same as when you go, so prepare more good wine. Ma De has been looking for Mao for so long and hasn't seen him, do you think the city lord is playing tricks on us?" a few people sat down and the big man surnamed Hu complained.

"Don't talk nonsense, since the city lord asked us to look for it, there must be a problem. Do not doubt the words of the city lord, if it reaches the ears of the city lord, you will be good-looking. The person sitting next to the big man surnamed Hu persuaded. When the big man surnamed Hu heard the person next to him say this, perhaps because he thought of the city lord's means, his body trembled, and a frightened expression appeared on his face. At this time, Xiao Er also ordered all the dishes they ordered, which was really ......

"Okay, hurry up and eat, and after eating, you have to return to the city lord. When the three of them heard the man's words, they did not stop to hasten their meals. After a quarter of an hour of eating and drinking, several people patted their butts and left, without even leaving money for food. And Xiao Er saw that a few people were leaving, so he still respectfully sent a few people out, and even said, "Welcome Master Hu to come again next time." Seeing this, Yang Yi was full of strangeness, and beckoned his hand to Xiao Er to come over. Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly came to Yang Yi's side and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the guest officer?"

"Who are those people, and why are you so afraid of them?"

"Hey, they are the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, and they eat and drink here for nothing every day. ”

"Then why don't you tell the city lord about this?"

"We can't see the city lord at all, the city lord is in retreat every day, everything in the city is handed over to the housekeeper to take care of, Hu Ye just now is the nephew of the housekeeper, this breath can be endured. ”

"Oh, by the way, do you know what they've been looking for lately?"

"How do you ask this question, officer?"

"One of my problems is that I am very curious, and I have to ask about everything that interests me. ”

"Oh, I know that. Legend has it that there is a colorful cloud in Huashan, and obtaining this colorful cloud can not only increase one's cultivation, but also control the power of the wind and clouds. Now that the City Lord has been cultivating in the realm of kings for a long time, looking for the colorful clouds is to break through. ”

"Is there anything like this?"

"Who knows, it's just a legend anyway, and no one has ever seen it. ”

"By the way, Xiao Er, do you know any interesting places nearby?"

"Guest, you're really asking the right person. If there's anything to do around here, I'm sure there's no one in the city who is smarter than me. The best place to visit is Huashan, which is made up of a large granite mass. The "three major risks of Huashan" are the thousand-foot building, the hundred-foot gorge and the Laojun furrow. Thousands of feet of buildings hovering on the cliffs, steep mountain roads, thousands of feet of cliffs are daunting. In the meantime, the cliff is steep, and there is only a ray of sky light overhead, which is thrilling. Not far from the thousand-foot building is the hundred-foot gorge, which is the second dangerous pass for mountaineering. The two walls are towering, there is a huge stone that falls from the sky in the middle, three big characters of "thrilling stone" are engraved on it, visitors want to pass through the path under the stone, it is really thrilling. After that, there are small dangers such as Xianren Bridge, Leaning Wei Cliff, Black Tiger Ridge, etc., and you will arrive at the third dangerous pass of mountaineering, Laojun Furrow, which is a ditch-like dangerous road sandwiched between steep stone walls, which is unfathomable.

However, now the entire Huashan is blocked by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, and people will not be allowed to enter. Other places include the X Opera Theater in the city, the Grand Canyon of the Yellow River in Qin, Jin, and so on. ”

"Thank you. Yang Yi thanked him and continued to taste his wine. Seeing that the guest officer had nothing to ask, Xiao Er returned to his position and continued to greet the guests.
