Chapter 165: Shangluo, Village!
ps: The second update, ask for a few monthly passes, please support more.
"If you go to Luoyang...... Qi Xiang thought about it, and decided: "Then tomorrow, I'll pack up today, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow." Jun said happily, and then took his leave. If Qi Xiang agrees to his invitation, then he will definitely go back and make arrangements.
After sending Jun away, Qi Xiang immediately went back to the room to pack his things.
"It's not safe here......"
Qi Xiang took out one treasure after another in the secret space of the bedroom. He thought about it for a while and decided to take these things with him first, and then find another place to put them properly.
"Hey, in the myths and legends, there are space bracelets and storage rings that are about to rot on the street, why don't they exist in the cultivation world." Qi Xiang let out a long sigh, and knew that this was delusional.
To know the law of space, that is the supreme truth. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it seems that only land immortals were qualified to get a glimpse of its secrets. By now, even entering the Dao and building a foundation has become a difficult thing, so there is no need to be whimsical and look forward to the ethereal immortal opportunity.
Of course, if you have enough strength and completely control the tortoise shell, you can get your wish......
Qi Xiang strengthened his belief and packed things into boxes. Especially the turtle egg, which was rolled in a thick towel for several layers, then packed into a brocade box, and then stuffed into the bottom corner of the box, he was at ease.
Everything was ready, and the next morning, Jun lived up to the promise. Not only himself, but also yesterday's gang of big men.
Qi Xiang went to open the door and greeted with his suitcase: "Let's go." ”
"Uh......" Jun was stunned: "Master, that Dan furnace...... Don't you ship it over? ”
"Why transport?" Qi Xiang said strangely: "You don't need the Dan furnace, why do you have to transport it in one fell swoop?" ”
"Don't need it?" Jun was shocked and stunned: "Alchemy, don't you need a Dan furnace?" Although, on our side, there is indeed a Dan furnace. But I'm afraid you won't be used to it. ”
"It's naturally best if you have a Dan furnace, but you don't...... It's okay too. Qi Xiang said casually: "After all, refining that kind of Dan doesn't need any Dan furnace in the first place. ”
"Huh?" Jun was dumbfounded, and he didn't understand what he meant at all.
"No, let's go." Qi Xiang dragged the box and walked a few steps, and saw several luxury cars parked next to it. He was not polite, he got into one of the carriages directly, and waited for the car very calmly.
Jun came to his senses, put away his thoughts, and waved his hand: "Let's go......"
After most of the half-hour drive. A few cars arrived at the airport without any problems.
Jun Buyi also booked the flight early, took Qi Xiang directly from the exclusive channel to board, and then took off with the flight and disappeared above the clouds in the sky......
About two or three hours later, the plane landed safely at the airport and arrived in Luoyang smoothly.
"Luoyang ......"
Qi Xiang walked out of the airport and looked up at the gray sky, not feeling any different from other places. But I don't know why, when I think of the word Luoyang. He felt a desolate, heavy aura blowing over his face.
"Luoyang, in the middle of the world, is surrounded by mountains on all sides. Five rivers surround Los Angeles. ”
"Civilization first sprouted here, Taoism began here, Confucianism originated here, and scripture flourished here. Buddhism was first transmitted here, metaphysics was formed here, and science was found here. Sages gathered. Humanities! ”
"Fuxi plays gossip, and Hetuluo is from Luoyang. Since then, the Zhou metric system of ritual music, Lao Tzu's writings, Confucius's entry into the Zhou courtesy, Cai Lun's papermaking, Zhang Heng's invention of the geodynamic instrument, and Zuo Si's Sandu Fu have made Luoyang paper expensive ......"
There are too many of them, all of which originate from Luoyang.
Far away from Luoyang, there is no special feeling, once he is there, Qi's mind can't help but surge heavy historical and humanistic information, which makes him can't help but fall into emotion.
"Toot, toot, toot!"
Between the ups and downs of Qi Xiang's thoughts, Leng was awakened by a sound of a horn. At this time, outside the airport, it can be described as a crowded flow of people, a shuttle of traffic, and a bustling crowd.
Qi Xiang only stood for a while, and then he felt a rolling heat wave, not only the weather was hot, but also the popularity was even stronger.
He glanced around and felt that this huge flow of people, except for some people who needed to work and would go back and forth at Luoyang Airport, the vast majority of the rest should be here to travel and play.
To put it mildly, the sages of Luoyang have left an inexhaustible rich heritage to future generations, and with Luoyang's unique scenic spots, historical and cultural resources, tourism alone can support the development of the entire Luoyang, including its surrounding cities.
is such a heritage, even if Luoyang is reduced to a ruin, it can still be rebuilt in the ruins and reborn.
This is not an exaggeration, nor a boast, but a fact.
Since ancient times, Luoyang has been an important town in the world and a place where soldiers must fight. The battle for hegemony around Luoyang is countless. Once the war starts, the water and fire are ruthless, and the city of Luoyang is flooded and burned, which is a common thing.
It doesn't matter if the city is destroyed, as long as the hearts of the people are still there, sooner or later they will be brilliant again.
"Master, the car is coming, let's go."
Jun Buyi suddenly spoke, interrupting Qi Xiang's thoughts. It's not that he has no eyesight, and he can't see that Qi Xiang is reminiscing, mainly because the car has been parked next to him for a long time, blocking many people's roads, if he doesn't go up again, the traffic police should come to post a ticket.
"Oh!"
His thoughts receded like a tide, and Qi Xiang was completely sober, and he didn't look closely at the surrounding situation, so he got into the car directly.
Jun breathed a sigh of relief, then made a gesture, and got into another car.
The car started slowly, detoured for a few minutes, and then drove onto the traffic artery, and then briskly headed towards Luoyang City. However, Qi Xiang also noticed that the car did not enter the city, but surrounded the suburbs.
For about an hour, the speed of the car slowed down, as if it was about to reach its destination.
Qi Xiang looked out through the window, and saw that the car had come to a place with a beautiful environment, with several hills nearby undulating and pine and cypress shrouded in the top of the hills.
On a winding path, sparse willow trees lined both sides.
In the late autumn season, the willows are still clinging to the autumn wind, and the flexible willows are waving in the wind, reflecting thousands of speckled shadows on the ground, which seems to be chaotic and implies a bit of rhythm.
At the end of the willows, at the foot of the hills, there is a delicate and elegant mountain house.
The Lodge is nameless......
Well, it's not ancient, and Jun is not a literati, so if you have to pay attention to any elegance, you will definitely not deliberately name it. Anyway, it's a very retro manor, pure Chinese architecture.
A building like this would be an eye-catcher if it were placed in a bustling city full of high-rise buildings. But now it's built under a lush, sparsely populated hill, which fits the environment perfectly.
The current Qi Xiang can be regarded as well-informed, and under the guidance of Jun Buying, he strolled into the villa. He looked at it casually and felt that the villa was very ordinary, and the biggest feature was probably that there were many willows planted inside and outside the courtyard.
I don't know if Jun Bucheng is particularly fond of willow trees, or if it was full of willow trees before he bought the manor. All in all, standing in the courtyard of the manor, a gust of wind blows, and you can always see the scene of catkins flying.
As long as the catkins are not coming at themselves, then the situation of flying in the sky like snow, it is also quite a bit of artistic conception.
Qi Xiang watched for a moment before entering the hall.
"Master, what do you think of this place?" Jun did not hesitate to ask, and Qi Xiang was not satisfied, so he immediately changed places.
"Yes." Qi Xiang is not hypocritical, to be honest, this place is much better than a five-star hotel, he is very satisfied, and he will definitely not pick a bone in the egg.
Jun was very happy: "Then you settle down here first, and then raise the matter of alchemy." ”
"Good ......"
Qi Xiang didn't mind, after all, he was not stupid, and he already knew in Jun Buful's words that the reason why Jun Bucheng asked him to help with alchemy was not for himself, but for others.
This other person may be a relative or friend of Jun Buying, or it may be his companion.
If it comes, it will be safe. Qi Xiang was very calm, found a room to live in the manor, and had a very Luoyang-style lunch under the warm reception of Jun Buying.
However, after lunch, Jun received a phone call, and he didn't know who called him or what he talked about. Anyway, as soon as the phone hung up, he hurried over, a little embarrassed.
Qi Xiang was empathetic and said directly: "If you have something, just go and get busy first, you don't need to accompany me." ”
“…… Excuse me! Something happened suddenly...... I'll go out first, and I'll be back early tomorrow morning......"
Jun lived up to some apologies, but did not explain the specific reason, and after obtaining Qi Xiang's understanding, he left. And he didn't walk empty, he also brought a long sword.
Seeing this situation, Qi Xiang suddenly understood and came to a conclusion. Alchemy should be a private matter for Jun to bear, not an arrangement of the Tianmen Organization......
This is also a relatively comfortable thing for Qi Xiang. After all, if it is not necessary, he does not want to be with some ...... What is the relationship between extremist organizational forces?
As soon as you walked away, Qi Xiang got up and wandered around the villa boringly, watching the wind and enjoying the scenery. He walked to the top of the hill at the back of the villa and took a look, only to find that on the other side of the hill, there were densely scattered mountain village houses.
It was a very flat area, and a large river made a big bend and irrigated a large field of land. Hundreds of families lived on both sides of the river and built houses.
The houses are very miscellaneous, there are cement bungalows, there are also bucket arch blue brick courtyards, and there are mud brick tile roof houses.
Judging from the scale of the village, it is also conceivable that the village must have been very prosperous back then. However, with the development of the times and the continuous expansion of urbanization, even the largest villages will inevitably decline.
Qi Xiang stood on the top of the mountain and looked at it from afar, only to see that most of the farmland outside the village had been abandoned and overgrown with wild grass. There are only some scattered land, planted with some fruits and vegetables.
But what surprised him was that this seemingly ruined village seemed to be quite lively...... (To be continued......)
