Volume 1: A Trip to Huainan Chapter 7: Huainan Bazaar
I really didn't expect that we would come to Luoxing Town by mistake, at this speed, we will be able to reach Huainan in less than a day. ”
A hoarse cry pulled him out of his musings.
At the exit of this street, a carriage stopped in the middle of the road, he was wearing a moon-white soft satin brocade robe, a cyan dragon belt tied around his waist, long sideburns like clouds, a pair of worried eyes, and a burly figure, it was Master Zhou.
It's just that now he seems to be safe and sound, and his expression is more energetic than before.
Master Zhou pulled the reins and walked slowly, and he seemed to have seen the maroon red pony behind him, but he couldn't remember clearly.
Only there, Master Zhou's eyes were strange, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Yusheng.
Zhou Yusheng rolled up the curtain and walked in.
The moment he closed the curtain, that complex emotion came to his mind again like a spring, and the cold town behind him, Zhou Yusheng knew that it was the Luoxing Town in Lao Suo's mouth.
Now it seems that since it is a town, it will inevitably seem a little deserted, and it is time for the rooster to crow, and there is still no line of people walking on the streets.
But what he didn't know was that Luoxing Town three hundred years ago was one of the best immortal cultivation cities in the Xuantian.
Three hundred years later, why it fell is related to the murder three hundred years ago.
"This is Luoxing Town, which was a subordinate town of Huainan three hundred years ago. The hand that pulled the reins of the horse was lifted again, and another long sound of the horse's hooves fell to the ears as it headed north.
"Why was it. Zhou Yusheng raised his eyebrows. asked lightly.
He let out a long sigh of helplessness, "Three hundred years ago, there was a big man born here. Three hundred years later, it was also because of this big man that the people of Luoxing Town were destroyed overnight. ”
There is nowhere to tell the distress in his heart, and between his frowning brows, there is always a trace of imperceptible worry.
"Who is he?" the moment the curtain was lowered, no one knew what he was thinking.
"That person's name is still a forbidden word that cannot be violated in the entire Xuantian. If the name of this person is mentioned in Huainan, he will be convicted of the crime of defrauding the king. ”
Zhou Yusheng was silent for a moment, as if chewing on the first half of Master Zhou's words.
"The clouds are wandering, and the sunset is old. He is the man who is most worthy of being called a hero in the entire Xuantian. And he was not very old, only 100 years old three hundred years ago. Cultivation has reached the level of plastic tires. ”
Zhou Yusheng could hear that when Zhou Fuzi talked about Tang Luo, it was not that kind of jealousy, but a deep admiration, admiration for the heroes in his heart.
。。。。。。
But what about plastic tires?
"So this is what my father said about Huainan?"
The carriage passed through the endless Songliao Plain, and the road ahead of the red pony that was riding the rolling yellow sand gradually became clear.
He was slightly stunned, and then raised his head and swept into the distance, only to see that at the end of that line of sight, the white waves were rolling, and the vigorous dragon was lying on the lofty mountains. The walls of the city meander and rise with the movement of the mountain peaks. The outside world is completely separated from the inside world.
The face full of tiredness and wind and dust suddenly became energetic, and the gaze that stared ahead suddenly froze, staring at the huge city that appeared behind the yellow sand, spanning tens of thousands of miles.
When you step here, you enter a place that is alien to the outside.
Zhou Fuzi leaned forward with the reins of the horse, and the horse stopped with a roar.
Although "Huainan" was close at hand, he did not immediately choose to enter it, but parked the carriage in a small town not far from Huainan and walked into the city, although there was a sense of avoiding suspicion, but there was also a fear that if the city was noisy, everyone would disturb the peace of the people in the city.
"Don't be like a country boy who has never seen the world, you have to pretend to be a rich kid when you come here, otherwise it is easy to be bullied in Huainan, and now there are still three days before Huainan opens, and I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment in Huainan in these three days." ”
After resting for a while, after Zhou Yusheng had recovered his breath, he parked the horse in the stable, and then walked towards the continuous city wall in the sunset.
Within a radius of 100 miles, this is the place where Huainan monks often come and go. The people living in this city have 200,000 or 300,000 people, and the geographical location is good, and there are many business trips, which is even more lively. ”
In the bazaar, there was a lot of shouting. But most of them were not the ones he was familiar with, and some of the names he had never heard of at all, in this overcrowded bazaar, he usually shouted a few extremely tongue-twisting names.
"But this is only the periphery of Huainan, where you can buy priceless treasures, or you can go bankrupt overnight. ”
Seeing Zhou Yusheng's puzzled face, Master Zhou was not surprised, and patiently explained.
"Who's coming? At this time, there were suddenly several uniform steps on both sides of the city wall, and Zhou Yusheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was several Huainan soldiers wearing cloth armor.
In Huainan, the soldiers guarding the city gates were the lowliest professions. Only poor families, in order to send their children into Huainan, will choose to become the guards guarding the city gate in Huainan.
"The Dajin Zhou family. Master Zhou looked at it coldly and said lightly.
Only then did Zhou Yusheng know that the members of the Dajin royal family were in Huainan and also had a very high right to speak.
Judging from the shock on the faces of these soldiers, this is more clearly recognized.
"The Great Jin royal family proves. The young man with the leader was the first to recover from the shock, his eyes were solemn, and he rolled his hand towards Master Zhou.
At that moment, he revealed the clothes he wore under his robes, a silver scale armor that shimmered like dragon scales with a cold sheen, and where the upper right side protected the atrium, there was a badge with an arch on the top and a crescent moon on the bottom.
The badge with exquisite texture is engraved with only two words: Huainan.
But the young man who saw these two words clearly at a glance turned red, and when he looked at the middle-aged man again, there was already deep fear in his eyes.
"Your Excellency Huainan!" he said with a wry smile.
The young man's eyes signaled, and the soldiers who were originally surrounding Zhou Yusheng immediately dispersed and made way in the middle of the road.
"You must not trust anyone in Huainan, everyone's goal is always to keep an eye on your purse. Master Zhou pursed his mouth, looked at the guard who was respectfully watching the two of them go, and said with a sneer.
Zhou Yusheng was dumbfounded.
But before Master Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Yusheng beside him was already attracted by the cries of selling at the entrance of the market.
As soon as he slipped through the smoke, he stood in front of the stall at the entrance of the market.
"How can this be sold!" Zhou Yusheng pointed to the group of unsightly spiritual materials, under the illumination of the setting sun, the rotten wood that emitted a shallow fluorescence.
The stall owner glanced at Zhou Yusheng faintly, and his enthusiastic gaze instantly dimmed.
"Fu Kwai wood, twenty-five spirit stones. He said in a calm tone.
In Huainan, there are only two kinds of people who go to this kind of stall instead of going to the shop to buy directly, one is the greedy and cheap, and the other is the poor immortal cultivator.
Obviously, he attributed the rest of Zhou's life to the latter.
"What is the spirit stone?" Zhou Yusheng turned his head, only to realize that he had walked too far, and the figure of Master Zhou in the sea of people was gone, and he looked at the back of the person who was also selected in the stall next to him almost for help.
This girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a round goose egg face, black eyes, red cheeks, and a youthful and lively atmosphere all around her body.
"Well, what the hell is a spirit stone? Zhou Yusheng asked weakly.
As if she heard an unfamiliar name calling out to herself, the girl looked at each other when she turned around.
She looked Zhou Yusheng up and down with a pair of mischievous big eyes, her eyelashes blinking slightly, her eyes were full of inquiry, and there was a hint of uneasiness.
"Are you talking about that?"
She stretched out her hand, Qianqianyu's hand was baby-white, as if she could squeeze out the water at once, and her white complexion was like taking the first snow, but she couldn't see a little pale.
There was something similar to a stone rolled in the jade hand, and when you looked closely, it was similar in shape to an ordinary stone, but there was a trace of spirituality surrounding it.
Looking at the glowing stone, Zhou Yusheng's eyes could no longer be taken away.
The girl's face was slightly red when she was stared at, and her cheeks quickly flew over with a flush like a sunset, and she withdrew her outstretched hand and glanced at Zhou Yusheng viciously.
"Little pervert!" the girl snorted and cursed in a low voice.
Stepping lightly on the lotus step, he ran angrily into the distance.
Seeing that the business that was finally negotiated was made yellow, but it was made yellow by a little hairy child who didn't know how to measure, Zhou Yusheng could feel that an invisible murderous aura was approaching him.
He subconsciously reached out and drew his sword.
"Zhou Yusheng!" Master Zhou's figure passed through the crowd and fell on Zhou Yusheng's ears like a heavenly sound.
"You're not a worrying kid. He held his forehead and said, but saw Zhou Yusheng with his hands on the sheath, in a posture of drawing his sword at any time.
Master Zhou looked up, and the young monk in front of Zhou Yusheng had a gloomy face like water, as if he was about to explode at any time.
