259. Chapter 256: Beixi Miao Festival
The golden thunder light gradually restrained until it disappeared completely, and when Yue Chongsheng opened his eyes again, a trace of golden brilliance flashed in his eyes, and the temperament of the whole person also underwent a earth-shaking change: if the original Yue Chongsheng was a sword embryo that had not yet been tempered, then at this time he was an unsheathed immortal sword!
"Red Xuanneng...... Well, it's not bad, that's fine, I can rest assured...... Chongsheng, starting tomorrow, Tianya will be managed by you temporarily, Liu Yan and I will leave Tianya after three days, with a group of people to leave Tianya, stationed in two important strongholds, you have two things to do in Tianya: first, grain production, this is the top priority, daily supervision is necessary; Second, to prevent the attack of the Huaxia Imperial Capital and other potential forces, Langya Pagoda will distribute a batch of 'Xuanguang Armor' to Tianya, and at that time, you will select a team of top members with combat power to distribute it...... "Dongfang Fan began to explain some important matters of Tianya to Yue Chongsheng without the slightest reservation......
After explaining many practical matters, Dongfang Fan thought for a moment and said to Yue Chongsheng: "In this way, you and Liu Yan call Tong Hu and Zhang Man, I want to ...... It's time to give you something like that......"
Ten minutes later, Yue Chongsheng, Liu Yan, Tong Hu, and Zhang Man stood in front of Dongfang Fan, each looking through the strange ring in his hand—this was handed over to the four by Dongfang Fan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This ring is a special "Immortal" client created by Ouyang Shen, and its function is not only to be able to enter the "Immortal" normally, but also has another function...... It is to replace the two bodies of reality and the other world...... And it is through this ring that I have the ability to temporarily change worldly, so I can not be limited by disability...... Can even ......" Dongfang Fan said, his left hand condensed with sword qi, and let the four of them understand the mystery with his own example.
"Hey! Brother Fan, don't sell it! Tell me where the switch is! Master Pig wants to show his strength! Wha!! Liu Yan listened, and wanted to put on the ring without saying a word, but he tried from his thumb to his little finger before he reluctantly put the ring on.
"I won't explain the reasons one by one, I can only say that ordinary people can't complete the alternation of the two realms, but some of the supernatural people are not in this rank...... Moreover, even if the conditions for use are met, it is not something that can be used in a while, just follow the steps, these four rings have undergone special treatment, which has reduced the original limit a lot, and in terms of the four of you, there should be no problem......" After Dongfang Fan finished talking about the detailed steps, the four of them returned to their respective rooms with great interest to try, and Dongfang Fan returned to the room after inspecting Tianya and Nuya, and re-entered the immortal-
Beixi City, the city lord's mansion.
On the second day when Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er came to Beixi City, led by Fang Lin and Fang Yuan, they watched the annual Miao Festival in the city.
The Beixi Seedling Festival is a traditional custom of the Beixi people to collectively plant seedlings on the last day of autumn every year, and the Beixi people usually wrap the soil with a note with a wish and plant it together with the seedlings, in order to pray to the land god for the hope in their hearts, and there is no limit to the wishes in the note: the mountain alliance between lovers, praying for the safety of their relatives, the thoughts of the lonely and widowed elderly for the wanderers and even the front line of the border will also provide seedlings for the soldiers on this day, and send the seedlings wrapped in finger strips back to Beixi City and distribute them to the soldiers' homesto report safety......
"Hehe, Sister Xin'er, although it's only a short year, but you can also feel the changes, since last year's Miao Festival will be the original mixed crowd to distinguish, in the city, the east of the city, the west of the city, the north of the city, the south of the city five locations, in turn from high status to low status to distinguish, it can be said that today's Beixi City, outside the city gate is the festival of civilians, and the city is dominated by families with status, if the average civilian wants to enter the city on this day, it is basically impossible, the suggestion about this distinction is made by me, will be originally noisy streets. Fang Yuan proudly showed his "great achievements", for fear that Loongson would not lower his intelligence.
Long Xin'er did not respond, but looked at the lonely street with the occasional few noble children dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, but in her mind was recalling the prosperous and lively festive atmosphere in the past - things are people, not everything, and this is no longer the Beixi City in her memory.
"Second brother, in fact, I don't like your suggestion, and my father didn't fully agree with it at the beginning, if it weren't for you uniting other big families...... Look at the current Miao Festival, there is no atmosphere like in the past......" Fang Lin glanced at Fang Yuan, looking very dissatisfied.
"Xiao Lin, what do you know, different status is a kind of destiny inevitable, it is common sense for lowly people to want to climb high branches, but noble people are not obliged to accept lowly people, the mandate of heaven distinguishes between lowly and noble backgrounds, is to let people with two backgrounds can do their jobs, my approach is to conform to the principles of heaven, why is there anything wrong? Moreover, the real excitement of the Miao Festival is the gathering at night, when the heirs and heads of the major families in the city will meet at the Beichen Restaurant in the center of the city, which is the main topic of today's Miao Festival! Fang Yuan's face was looking forward to it, and he had already begun to plan how to "make a splash" in the banquet at night.
Long Xin'er didn't dare to compliment Fang Yuan's remarks, and was about to propose parting ways, Dongfang Fan spoke: "What Fang Gongzi said is very true, as a foreigner, after I finish swimming in the city, I also want to see what kind of atmosphere is outside the city, presumably Fang Gongzi can't go along, so don't say goodbye; Xin'er, come with me. ”
After Dongfang Fan finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Long Xin'er was stunned for a moment and followed closely......
Fang Yuan wanted to keep Long Xin'er, but was stopped by Fang Lin on the side: "Second brother, you!" It's better to lead the soldiers honestly, I'm responsible for taking Xin'er's sister and Dongfang Daxia to walk around outside the city, don't follow, Xiaoqing quickly follow! ”
Looking at the backs of Fang Lin and Xiaoqing trotting away, Fang Yuan felt very inexplicable, but he didn't delve into it, he still walked proudly on the lonely streets, occasionally talking to a few bored nobles about meaningless topics......
At the south gate of the city, Dongfang Fan and Long Xin'er were in parallel, Long Xin'er twisted for a while, and asked: "Brother Dongfang, is it true that you just said that you recognized Fang Yuan?" ”
"Huh? Nature is true, it's just ...... The way of understanding is relative...... Is the pride of the people in the city boasting about their loneliness, or the people outside the city laughing at the loneliness of the city? Isn't it clear the restraint and freedom inside and outside the city walls? Dongfang Fan smiled sarcastically, and at this time, Fang Lin was still following, just in time to hear Dongfang Fan's last words.
"Hehe, although my second brother's ideas are a little unpleasant, his nature is pure, if there is anything offended, please bear with the Oriental hero." Fang Lin bowed, his face showing apologies.
"The Fang family has a good daughter." Dongfang Fan did not respond positively, but just responded casually, and immediately took the lead out of the city gate......
The noisy scene outside the city and the lively interpersonal atmosphere make the people in it baptized by the festival, and then truly feel the folk customs of Beixi.
"Oriental hero, when you get here, men and women are separated, it is recommended to buy a pack of seedlings on the side of the road, if you meet other women on the road to find you to exchange seedlings, don't be surprised~! Sister Xin'er, Xiaoqing, let's go~~" Fang Lin pulled one person left and right, and the three girls quickly disappeared into the crowd, leaving Dongfang Fan alone in a daze in the sea of people coming and going......
With the idea of "once it comes, it will be safe", Dongfang Fan began to wander around, of course, he would not buy any seedlings to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Five taels of immortal crystals once! Whoever can pull out this sword will give it away directly! ”
In the corner of the noisy market outside the city, a clear shouting sound entered Dongfang Fan's ears, and immediately driven by curiosity, he became one of the many onlookers, and in the center of the crowd, he saw a strong man with a height of two meters pointing to a sheathed long sword beside him, and kept repeating Fang Cai's shout.
"This sword ......" Dongfang Fan stared at the sword for a long time, and could not see the peculiarity in it, but felt a very subtle aura of resistance - it seemed that this sword was resisting everything outside of himself.
While everyone was watching, there were already many young swordsmen who were lucky enough to try, but none of them could pull out half a minute of the sword, and three quarters of an hour passed, and some people began to wonder: "Isn't this sword body and scabbard cast together with molten iron?" Or maybe it's just a piece of conjoined iron, carved into the shape of a sword! ”
The strong man smiled, approached the young man who asked questions, and said with a ruffian face: "This little brother, you should pay attention to your words when you speak, this sword of mine is an immortal sword forged by the famous swordsmith Ouyee Wushuang with the last trace of effort before his death!" ”
"Ouyeel Peerless? The Demon Clan's swordsmith master? Really? The crowd began to erupt in a lot of chatter around the sword.
Dongfang Fan was very unfamiliar with the name Ouyeel Wushuang, and just as he was hesitating whether to step forward or not to try, a magnificently scribe walked slowly from the periphery of the crowd to the center, and where he passed, the people who were originally blocking in front naturally moved out of the way-
"The name of this sword is 'Soulless', and it is indeed from the hands of Ouyeel Wushuang, but the method of casting this sword is to directly cast the 'sheathed sword body' with a whole piece of Xuantian stone, and there is no gap between the scabbard and the blade, so it is impossible for ordinary people to pull out this sword with ordinary methods." The mysterious scribe wore an unpretentious blue lotus sword at his waist, and his conversation exuded an aura of peace, making it impossible to express any anger at him.
"So, isn't the immortal crystal we spent in vain? This is blackmail! Several young men who had paid the money in advance shouted to get back their hard-earned money, and the scene was out of control for a while, and the mysterious scribe went straight to the place where the "soulless sword" was, holding it in his hand and looking at it, the strong man was stunned, and he didn't even say a word, just stood in place and let the seemingly thin stranger do whatever he wanted.
The mysterious scribe looked at it for a long time, put the soulless sword back in its place, and sighed softly: "There is no soul, no joy and no sorrow, but it is pitiful and hateful. ”
Dongfang Fan's heart moved, he stepped forward in two steps, handed over the five first-grade immortal crystals to the strong man, and immediately came to the soulless sword, stretched out his hand to hold its hilt, and raised it vertically, sure enough, the scabbard was tightly attached to the sword body and could not slide off.
"Is there something wrong with this man's brain? Someone stood up and explained that the scabbard of the sword body was formed in one piece, and it was impossible to pull out this sword, did he think that there were too many immortal crystals on his body? ”
"Seeing his calm expression, he must also be a person of the way of the sword, for a swordsman, how can a good sword be measured by five taels of immortal crystals? But any swordsman, knowing that this sword is from a famous artist, has to come forward and try it anyway, this mood is understandable. ”
Dongfang Fan ignored the words of the people around him, and only had a soulless sword in his hand.
"Why is there a sense of emptiness...... To the end of this sword...... Without a soul and without a soul, is what is missing is a soul? Just as Dongfang Fan was groaning, the scribe beside him suddenly pulled out the Qinglian Sword at his waist and slashed at Dongfang Fan impartially......
