Chapter 003: Qingluo Town
The vast land of China is boundless. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In this land, there have been various legends for thousands of years.
One of the most famous is the legendary Western Immortal World, located just above the West Sea. There is perennial smoke and a fairy atmosphere. In this way, groups of cultivators who pursued the immortal path of immortality were gathered.
Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature.
As a result, one sect after another was established in the martial arts, recruiting disciples, just to ascend to immortals.
Over time, in the middle of the border between Xihai and Dongzhou, a small town called Qingluo became a part of the legend, and there were "Qingluo has immortals, and the immortals live in Qingluo; If you want to ascend to the immortal country, first pass Qingluo" This saying is widely spread.
The so-called Ascension Kingdom refers to the Ascension Conference held every ten years. A grand meeting led by Tai Chi Dao Sect and united by other sects. All the strong people who have reached the peak of the innate realm can be recommended by the sect to participate, and the winner can directly ascend to the upper realm from Dengxian Tai on an island in the middle of the West Sea. And the scattered warriors are not qualified.
And passing Qingluo refers to the disciple selection competition held every three years in Qingluo Square in Qingluo Town. This competition is aimed at all martial arts people, as long as they are selected, they can enter the various major sects for traditional practice, which is a great joy for all the rivers and lakes and ordinary people who want to ascend to immortals. After all, the sect has complete teaching and qualifications to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference.
This year's two events are even more rare to be held in the same year.
That is, as long as you reach the innate realm and join the sect by the disciple selection contest in late spring, then the immortal ascension conference at the end of autumn will be able to participate. Therefore, the town of Cheongna, which occupies the entire coast, is simply overcrowded at this time.
Qingluo Town has no city walls, and is bordered by the West Sea to the west, building a deck from south to north. At the edge of the deck are docks, lined up in a neat row with people coming and going. It is bordered by Dongzhou in the east, connecting the most extensive plains in Dongzhou. As far as the eye can see, grass huts have been set up on the edge of the plain for people to live in temporarily. The people who live here are all martial arts people who come to participate in the grand event, or idle people who watch the excitement. And that's just a small part.
The crowd is full of voices and lively.
At this time, a sailboat docked at the south wharf of Qingluo Town, and the people who were waiting at the wharf in the morning rushed up, and after the people on board went to the wharf one after another, they came forward attentively.
Among these people, there was a particularly thin half-sized child, with a nimble body, who scurried to the front. The black eyeballs swirled around the disembarker, and finally, the target was chosen.
The person he chose was a young man who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in brocade clothes and holding a fan with a landscape fan. The body is slightly thin, but the appearance is very handsome. Walking in the crowd is not the tallest, but the most conspicuous.
The kid scurried around, rushed to the man in front of everyone, and while walking down with the flow of people, he saluted with his fists: "This son Xian'an, the little one is called Xiaosi, and he is willing to serve the son of the dog and horse." ”
The young man glanced at him at the end of his eyes, and said unhurriedly, "Do you know about Qilin Pavilion?" The voice was low and cold.
Xiao Si nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know, this Qilin Pavilion is a century-old shop in our Qingluo Town, you asked me the right person, I am a know-it-all in our Qingluo Town......" Seeing that the young man was not interested, Xiao Si changed his words, "Are you going to Qilin Pavilion?" ”
The young man nodded, the two got off the board, and Xiao Si hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the right: "Please go this way." ”
After getting off the deck and walking a dirt road, the two went up to the main street.
The crowd was too dense, and Xiao Si spread his arms and protected the young man's left. The young man was a head taller than the fourth, and he was protected like this, and finally lowered his eyes and gave him a look.
"Don't be protected, I'll follow you."
Xiao Si's eyes wandered around, and he withdrew his hand, and was crowded around the young man, pretending to smile casually and asked, "I don't know your surname, Son?" ”
The young man did not answer and asked, "How far is it?" As he spoke, his dark but not thick or thin eyebrows furrowed slightly. Obviously a little impatient with this environment.
Xiao Si hurriedly said: "It's almost soon, Qilin Pavilion is further north, and you will arrive after Qingluo Square, you see, in front of you is Qingluo Square." ”
The young man looked up and looked over the crowd, and saw a three-story circular wall not far from them. The street is divided in two by walls.
"Inside the wall is Qingluo Square, tomorrow's disciple selection competition will be held on the square, and the Qilin Pavilion you are going to is opposite, you should be the first time to come to Qingluo Town, right?" Seeing the young man nodding, Xiao Si continued with a smile: "Then you must not know that our Qingluo Town is built around this Qingluo Square, Qingluo Square has existed in the early years, and the time is very long, and then some fishermen came, and built houses around the square, and then one day, an immortal came, pointing out that the fishermen said that in the center of the sea, they can ascend to the fairy country, and the news spread, Qingluo Town has become a place where people in the rivers and lakes flock to." ”
The boy nodded thoughtfully, and followed the flow of people to branch off from the left.
Xiao Si asked again: "Childe, are you here to participate in the selection?" ”
"How?" The boy glanced sideways at him, his long narrow eyelashes arcing gracefully. Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly turned his eyes away and said with a smile: "Look at Gongzi, you are not very old, but you have an outstanding temperament and light steps, you are either born a nobleman or a big family." ”
The young man curled the corners of his lips slightly, and his smile flashed. Xiao Si turned his head and didn't see it, and continued: "Our Dongzhou Daomen is prosperous, and the family and even the royal family and nobles are all based on cultivation and pursue the immortal path of immortality. After speaking, he finally looked at the young man, blinked his eyes, and asked with a slightly mischievous smile: "Childe, did you say that what I said was right?" ”
The boy nodded dispensably.
The two of them talked and walked out of the crooked corridor. When his eyes suddenly opened up, Xiao Si pointed ahead and said, "It's here, this is the Qilin Pavilion." ”
The young man looked up at the plaque hanging on the second floor, and the three words "Qilin Pavilion" were upright and powerful, and they were extremely powerful. In the eyes of certain people, they can see something different.
The young man smiled lightly, "I don't know how the girl's remuneration is calculated?" ”
Xiao Si was stunned, subconsciously looked around, and after making sure that no one heard, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said, "One or two silver." ”
The young man just raised his eyebrows, and then threw over a piece of silver ingots of ten taels without saying a word: "I'm tired." After speaking, he stepped into the Qilin Pavilion.
Xiao Si touched his nose, squeezed the ingots tightly, and finally looked at the gate of the Qilin Pavilion, turned around and left.
"What a weirdo."
The boy stepped through the door, and was immediately greeted by a fellow.
"Welcome, there are countless treasures in our Qilin Pavilion, weapons and armor, I don't know what you need?"
The young man smiled: "I was looking for Merlot, and I said that Zixuan came to visit the old man!" ”
