Chapter 37 Merchant Town

However, no matter how Yan Zijie and Mingshan pursue, it will be impossible to find Shang Luo's traces.

Because there is a secret passage leading to the nearby Autumn Mountain in the underground space under the latrine in the backyard, in the past, Yang Yue also used this secret passage to bring the arrested people back to the old nest.

"It's almost a long way off. ”

Standing halfway up the Autumn Mountain, Shang Luo looked thoughtfully at the firelight in the distance.

Yan Zijie and Mingshan sent a stalker, he found out when Zhao Li delivered the meal the day before yesterday, but he didn't pay attention to it.

And now, while the vast majority of people are paying attention to the fire in Yang Yue's mansion, it happens to be the best time for him to return to Tailuo Village.

"That should be enough. ”

In the courtyard of the Zhang family in Tailuo Village, Shang Luo secretly hid two night pearls and enough gold and silver for three families to spend their lives under the firewood pile in the kitchen.

Subsequently, Shang Luo's body swept away and rushed to Shang Qinrong's tomb.

Shang Qinrong is Shang Axe's wife, that is, the woman who nagged him to go on a blind date when they met.

Inserting the Shang axe saber dug up from the tomb of Tianxing Mountain into Shang Qin Rong's tomb, Shang Luo bowed, and then disappeared into the vast night.

If nothing else, perhaps he will not be back here for a long time, and the village where he lived for fifteen years will be a passerby in his life after all.

There isn't much sadness.

Maybe he was born a little cold-blooded and solipsistic, or maybe his feelings have always been indifferent to ordinary people.

In Shang Luo's view, the so-called indifference and cold-bloodedness are not necessarily a bad thing.

If one day, he is really a fairy, the years are long, and he will definitely experience countless life and death, is every parting must be unforgettable, and every life and death must be painful?

When you think about it this way, it's a good thing to be indifferent.

Since you have the ambition to embark on the immortal road, parting is destined to be accompanied by a lifetime of things, if you don't have the state of mind to see it, what kind of immortal is it?

Walking all the way, letting the wind blow on his face, Shang Luo first rushed back to Qiushan to take away the things he had taken from Yang's house, and then his body moved, rushing towards the direction of Shang Town.

......

The merchant town is located not far west of the Star Mountains.

Looking to the east, you can see the mountains in the clouds, or gently lying like a big Buddha, or towering in the sky, or snake-like winding like a giant python, or undulating like a hump.

Legend has it that the ancestors of the Xingluo Bai tribe were a group of deserters who had lost the battle, kept fleeing westward, crossed the Tianxing Mountain Range, and finally came to the Luoshui side.

Because Luoshui was difficult to cross, this group of soldiers thought about it and got tired of running away, so they simply settled here, which is the origin of the Xingluo Hundred Clan.

Perhaps it was out of fear of the homeland, or the lack of a talented and ambitious hero, in short, for hundreds of years, the Xingluo Hundred Tribes have never been able to develop into a country.

On the contrary, it bloomed a flower that was similar to that of the ancient Greek city-states in the previous life.

And the surname Shang is one of the hundred ethnic groups.

The earliest Shang clansmen numbered only a few hundred and settled in the ravines west of the Tianxing Mountains.

With the increase of the number of people, it gradually developed from a small dilapidated village to a merchant town.

With the entire Tianxing Mountain Range as a hunting ground, the Shang surname has developed extremely fast. At first, he started by relying on wild beasts in the mountains, eating and wearing from the mountains and forests, and later, as he became bigger and bigger, he began to form caravans to transport furs and other materials to various places and make a fortune.

It's just the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao, and the reincarnation is not endless.

Eating from the mountains and forests also has to be affected by the cause and effect of the mountains and forests.

The beast tide that lasts for more than ten years, and is as short as once every three or five years, has become a nightmare that restricts the growth of the Shang surname.

For hundreds of years, the Xingluo tribe has built a city and established a town, but the originally well-developed merchant surnames are still trapped in the merchant town.

"It's not the same city I imagined. ”

Standing on a small hill, Shang Luo put his hand to his forehead and looked at the city wall not far away.

The wall is about 20 meters high, close to the height of a six-story apartment in the previous life.

The walls are dark red, with mottled antique colors. The vicissitudes and heaviness of the years can be felt even if you are separated by a distance.

Although he had already seen this blood-colored wall that had resisted the tide of beasts for hundreds of years through the memories of his predecessor, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and he had a kind of excitement when he visited the ancient monuments. The beauty of history contained in this made him feel a passion in his heart that he was straight to his chest and did not vomit unpleasantly, and he always wanted to compose a poem to pay tribute to the past and the present.

It's a pity that after brewing for a long time, looking at the pedestrian convoy shuttling under the city wall, Shang Luo fell into some kind of unspeakable embarrassment.

Poetry is something that not everyone really has.

Some people, such as Li Bai and Du Fu, spit out their jade mouths, they are splendid mountains and rivers and human suffering.

And some people wrote 40,000 poems in their lifetime, which is comparable to the whole Tang Dynasty, but the most famous is still the "piece after piece, three, four, five or six pieces." ”

......

Pay the money and go into town.

The town is very lively, and it is as prosperous as Shang Luo's impression of "Qingming Riverside Map" in his mind.

The luxurious restaurant with carved beams and paintings, the wide and bright silk village, the successive cheers floated out from the opera garden, and in the antique shop, the antiquities of thousands of years were quietly placed there, and there was a kind of detachment that saw through the red dust of Zimo.

In the antique town, the buildings are not as small and exquisite as the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but have the rugged and bold of the ancient city of Saibei. The woman did not say that she was confined in the boudoir, but showed up like a man.

The warriors here are not only men, but also the proportion of women.

Those who hold swords, those who hold swords, and even those who are bold enough to resist two axes.

"What do you look at, boy, I haven't seen such a beautiful woman as my mother?" seemed to sense the sight that fell on her body, and a woman wearing a dark red military uniform looked around suspiciously, and then fixed her eyes on Shang Luo, seeing that her complexion was yellow and her appearance was not very handsome, her face immediately changed, and she scolded on the street with her hands on her waist: "Look again, look at the old lady and gouge out your dog eyes." ”

The woman in red scolded and left, but it made Shang Luo not embarrassed, but fortunately, the people around her seemed to be used to this kind of battle, and after a few glances at Shang Luo, they concentrated on their own affairs.

"There are quite a few masters. ”

Standing in front of a small stall, Shang Luo squinted slightly, not daring to look at it as unscrupulously as he did just now, but quietly looked around.

The predecessor has been to the merchant town many times, but he generally sells books, buys books, and then buys pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and the people he interacts with are also considered to be readers, and he has never seen such a hot woman, which makes Shang Luo lose face as soon as he enters the city.

However, his state of mind can be regarded as honed, and after a few moments of embarrassment, he returned to his naturalness, but his brows were solemn and his face was a lot more cautious.

From the pedestrians passing through the street, it only took a moment for him to feel a tingling sensation in his back four or five times. One of them, his body even trembled, and he vaguely felt like he was being targeted by a flood beast, and his entire back was suddenly in a cold sweat.

There are many masters in the merchant town, after all, the beast tide once every few years is a rare training for martial artists, coupled with the fact that it is backed by the Tianxing Mountain Range and has a rich meat diet, although the merchant town is only a town, but when it comes to force, it is not necessarily inferior to the cities built by other clans.
