Chapter 29 On the Importance of Shopping
Jingzhou is located in the southern part of Kyushu, close to the 100,000 mountains. Legend has it that there are few poor mountains and bad waters in the world, cruel and murderous poisonous insects and beasts are rampant in the city, and people who die in broad daylight abound, which is terrifying.
There are also rumors that the strange mountains and beautiful waters here are beautiful, the folk customs are simple and there is no city, regardless of the male and female personality, and the hospitality can be heart-to-heart.
Some people yearn for it, and some people can't avoid it.
There is no one on the official road below, there are still a few miles in front of the boundary of Jingzhou, Hongxiao overlooks, only to see that Jingzhou is high and densely forested, and it is shrouded by a layer of miasma visible to the naked eye all the year round, and it takes people's lives for only a moment, so ordinary people dare not set foot on it, and the caravans coming and going from the north to the south are even rarer.
Without Yelin's signal, Wei Yang chanted a spell and cast a spell, and the spherical fire cover wrapped the flying boat and rushed into the miasma.
The sound of "bang" in his ears came and went, and then a few burnt and foul smells mixed into his nose, and Hongxiao said, "What is this?"
Yelin stretched out the cover, grabbed a bit of gray and black debris and handed it to Hongxiao, and said, "'Miasma' should not be understood as just gas, but in fact, there are two things, namely 'miasma' and 'qi', which refer to poisonous insects that are almost invisible to the naked eye, as well as the green mist generated by the mixing of many different poisonous gases. The latter can be covered by covering your mouth and nose, while the former is much more deadly, often killing you when you don't notice it. ”
Hongxiao looked closely, and the debris was indeed an extremely small insect corpse, so small that it was ignored, and it was not as conspicuous as dust in the palm of his hand.
It is no wonder that Gongzi revealed his family background to attract Wei Yang, no matter how deadly the insects and poisonous gases were, most of them were still afraid of fire after all.
Collecting the boat, the three of them went straight to Jingzhou City Pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass saw that the three people were extraordinary, and did not dare to offend, forked their spears, and said: "Do you have customs clearance documents?"
Hongxiao presented the seal and said, "The three of us are envoys from Yongzhou, and we are ordered by the emperor to inspect Jingzhou. ”
The soldier said, "Wait a moment, let me in." ”
The gates were opened and closed.
I didn't see anyone for half a day.
Wei Yang said: "There are a lot of trivial matters, wouldn't it be better to fly in directly?"
Yelin said with a smile: "Secular communication is not as good as your cultivation of thousands of miles of transmission, and this is probably the case. We are ordered to do things, and we can only go through the process and enter it justifiably, otherwise it will be difficult for the emperor to deal with it. As he spoke, he took a small step back without a trace.
The servant took the initiative, and Hongxiao didn't know Yelin's intentions, but he also took a small step back.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly, the footsteps were dense and dull, the city wall was moving, and the prefect of Jingzhou and the general guarding the pass climbed the city tower and said: "The holy will, clearly said that Li Yu, the lord of Yongzhou, will come in person, you are all fake, this is a big crime of bullying the king, come to someone, shoot arrows! Take the head of the thief to set an example, and the remaining two are left for torture!"
For a while, the bows and crossbows were all aimed at Wei Yang, and the tips of the arrows were shining with cold light.
Quenched poison, burning, and even many city-destroying giant crossbows wrapped in Fengtianfu's special thunder and fire talismans.
Ten thousand arrows are fired.
Threesome, women and teenagers are not worried, only a middle-aged man fairy wind dao bone stands at the head of the team.
If you don't shoot him, shoot whom?
Looking back at Yelin and Hongxiao, who had long since disappeared, only two heads emerged from behind the trees in the distance, Wei Yang lamented: "This is a thief ship!"
Reciting the mantra silently, he stretched out his finger to the ground, and set up three walls of fire in front of him that were taller than the city pass, and the arrows were burned as soon as they left the strings.
The law changed again, and the wall of fire shattered and scattered in the air, and then many wings grew, turning into three thousand fire flying crows, rushing towards the bows and crossbows in the hands of the soldiers guarding the gates.
Before the tea was ready, the soldiers all abandoned their weapons.
Wei Yang accepted the law and said: "The three of us are indeed Yongzhou's henchmen, and they are here to carry out the emperor's will on behalf of Lord Li Yu. ”
The prefect of Jingzhou pressed the handle of the guard next to him, signaled not to act rashly, and said with a smile: "The official was clumsy and didn't see the seal clearly, I'm sorry, now I confirm that it is correct, please enter the customs." ”
Secretly said: "Old fox!" Wei Yang raised his feet and walked forward, followed closely by Yelin and Hongxiao.
The prefect accompanied him and said, "The post house is nearby, I don't know what the messenger is called?"
Wei Yang arched his hand and said: "The cheap name is Yin Liang, thank you to the prefect, the post house will be exempted, and I will find an inn in the next place." ”
The prefect acted as a reason: "Lord Yin, this matter may be a little inappropriate? This government has the obligation to protect you, if you don't live in the post house, it is inevitable that there will be times when you can't take care of it." ”
Wei Yang stroked his beard and said, "It's okay." I have some self-defense skills under it. Pointing at Yelin, he said, "This is my scholar." Pointing to Hongxiao again, he said: "This is my maidservant, if there is any need, I will let them pass it to the prefect." ”
Yelin Hongxiao was happy to accompany him to act and worship the prefect together.
The prefect was overjoyed, "Yin Liang" was looking for death by himself, no wonder he was ruthless, and arched his hand: "In this way, Lord Yin can do his own thing, the official is busy with affairs and will go back to the house first, so he will leave." "Then lead the officers and soldiers to leave.
When he walked away, Hongxiao said: "Childe, you want me to steal the jade pendant in your hand." ”
Yelin took the jade pendant and tied it around her waist for her.
Hongxiao was puzzled, why Yelin tied the prefect's jade pendant to himself, and asked, "Childe, what are your plans next?"
Yelin smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's go shopping." It's March, Jingzhou Market is very lively, in front of it is Wangbei City, since you are here, don't miss it. ”
"Ahh
Hurriedly picked up steps to keep up.
The disciples of Fengtianfu are determined to find immortals, but they always think that their lives are short, Wei Yang has 10,000 reasons to refuse in his heart, and he can't wait to find a quiet place to sit down and practice, a good time, if you don't cultivate, what kind of street do you go to?
The three of them are dressed in strange clothes, and they have attracted the attention of everyone before they enter the market. Although there are merchants from the north, after all, they are only a few, and it is really rare to see such an otherworldly person like them.
Wei Yang's face was dignified and heroic, his robe and his immortal aura were faint, and the women in southern Xinjiang were all dazzling.
Hong Xiao is tall and graceful, and her red clothes are even more heroic, gentle and fierce coexist, which is a stunning color that Jingzhou has never had, even if she is a woman, she can't help but take a few more looks.
On the contrary, it was Yelin, hiding under the umbrella and no one knew his true face, escaping everyone's gaze.
The bazaar is bustling with people. Occasionally, a few drunk men and women came forward to talk, and even looked for an opportunity to rub oil, but were avoided by the three of them one by one.
Only the jade pendant was successfully stolen and hidden.
The three of them wandered around aimlessly, Yelin bought more food, there were no taboos, what charcoal-grilled mushrooms, stewed snake meat, roasted roe deer, fried bee pupa, etc., all kinds of game tasted all kinds of game, the little belly seemed to be filled with an elephant, and he never stopped with a mouth.
Even with Hongxiao's eyes opened, his abdomen was swollen, and he refused to eat anything for fear of growing meat.
As for cultivators like Wei Yang...... Except for the elixir liquid, there is nothing that can enter the eyes of the law, and the appetite has long been forbidden, and life is boring.
Further on, entering the center of the market, the common people gradually decreased, and the majority of capable people were strangers, and most of the stalls and shops were peddling fierce beasts, poisonous insects, and small objects containing witchcraft thaumaturgy.
After finding a stall at random and squatting down, with a pile of urns in front of him, Yelin asked, "This big brother sells Gu worms?"
The Gu man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go, don't make trouble, you want to buy and call the head of the house to come over." ”
Yelin said: "I want to buy Gu worms, the more the better." ”
It's not a joke.
Hearing this, the man squinted his eyes and said, "Is the money enough?"
Yelin said: "It's enough." ”
In one day, the white-shirted boy from the north swept the entire Gu worm market in Wangbei City, and his wealth was never the same price, nearly 10,000 Gu worms were purchased in a blink of an eye, and he even promised that those who came would not refuse, and would continue to buy them, for ten days. The news was like a fire burning the plain, and it didn't take long to burn out most of Jingzhou, and the insect masters in Jingzhou were crazy and went into the mountains to look for Gu.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the inn where the boy was.
It's night, the moon and stars are scarce, and the magpies fly south.
Thinking of the fact that there were so many Gu worms in Yelin's storage bag, Hongxiao couldn't help but shudder, and said, "Childe bought so many worms, do you want to raise a worm king?"
Wei Yang just tore off his mask, and was also attracted, listening intently to what he wanted to do.
Yelin said with a smile: "If you don't raise the Insect King, the Witch King can fish out two, which is conducive to our actions." ”
Hongxiao asked, "Shouldn't the investigation be done secretly? Childe is now doing the opposite, making a fuss known to everyone, what is the purpose?"
Yelin took out the Kyushu Kanyu map, spread it out, and said, "Who said we were going to investigate?"
Hongxiao was stunned: "Then what are we doing here?"
Yelin pointed to the two states of Jing and Yongzhou on this map, and said: "Who hasn't had any secrets, there are many people in Jingzhou who can't see the light, so it is impossible to check." The intention of the national teacher and Emperor Shenzong is not only to divert the tiger from the mountain, but also to provoke disputes between the two states, we just need to get something to deal with, and we don't need to take it too seriously. ”
Hongxiao lay on the table, shook the holy decree in his hand, and said: "'Jingzhou is changing, Qing should investigate it thoroughly', this matter can be big or small, the ghost knows what Jingzhou's abnormal movement is?"
Yelin smiled: "Eleven is so well-informed, how can I know if I stay in Yongzhou every day? ”
Hongxiao suddenly said, "Oh! I understand, Childe is looking for a replacement for the dead ghost." ”
Wei Yang sneered: "What kind of power is the Descent Altar, it's not easy to find anyone to replace the dead ghost, how can you be allowed to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"
Yelin asked rhetorically, "What if the ghost for the dead is actually not their person? ”
took out the chessboard pieces, grabbed a few and scattered them all over Kyushu, Yelin said: "Go back and rest, let me think about it again." ”
Hongxiao returned to the room.
Before leaving, Wei Yang carefully paid attention to the land of Yelin Sazi.
Jiaodao in the East China Sea, the imperial capital of Xuzhou, Saiwai in Jizhou, the sword mound in Yangzhou, the northern boundary of Yongzhou, and Jingzhou.
There are even Liangzhou and Yanzhou.
Daming Kyushu has accounted for seventh, how far can he see?
Yelin smiled lightly: "Go back, just leave a prohibition, you don't have to keep vigil tonight, it will be very quiet." ”
Wei Yang closed the door.
Yelin said again: "The fire is not dead, the premise is that you and I are not half-hearted. ”
There was once a Shuntianfu patriarch who ascended to the Tao, and suffered a thunderstorm in the Nine Heavens, and the Dao was destroyed for hundreds of years, and he ended up dead.
The bones are missing, and the truth is far away from the world.
The door was pushed open again, Wei Yang trembled physically and mentally, and said, "Where is my master!!?"
