106. The City of Sounds
In the early morning of the next day, the group set off from 500 peaches and embarked on the road to Mingyin City.
The road is steep and mountainous, so the walk is exceptionally slow. Several people abandoned the carriage and used vultures as a means of transportation.
The vultures are a unique creature in the area, about the size of a horse, but with short limbs, making them ideal for climbing over mountainous terrain. Moreover, this creature travels extremely fast, and it is not a problem to travel 300 miles a day.
Three or four vulture horses marched forward on the mountain, Tang Songluo walked with Qing Zhan, Yi Lin was forced to ride with Yan Ru, and the rest of Tang Qiong was alone in front of the road.
After two days of such a bumpy ride, they arrived at Mingyin City, which was five hundred miles away from the ancient capital of Yeqi.
Mingyin City is not a big city, and there are only three or four thousand households in it, which is not much worse than Shenjia Village.
But it can be counted as a city, in fact, because this place is so prosperous and lively.
Mingyin City has been known as the city that never sleeps since ancient times, and the reason for this is that some of the businesses in this city are too lively, attracting many elegant people or distinguished guests.
This is an ancient 'color' of the city, from the outside of the city 'gate', only to see the city wall towering, the texture of the blue bricks looks particularly simple.
The city 'gate' is a retro round arch, and there are several officers and soldiers guarding the arch 'gate'.
Although the entire Mozark Continent has entered a state of martial law because of the declaration of war by the Black Federation, Mingyin City has been a flamboyant place since ancient times, so the officers and soldiers defending the city are also particularly lazy, they lean on the city 'gate' and whistle at the beautiful girls who come and go.
After dealing with the vultures at the post station outside the 'gate', the group headed for the city.
The scenery in the city is very different from the outside.
If the blue brick city wall gives people a sense of majesty, then the pavilions in the city look full of charm.
The floor in Mingyin Castle is made of bluestone slabs, and because it is not far from the mountains, there are mountain springs stored underground, and when they arrive in the city, they gather into springs one by one.
When you step on some stone slabs, there is still clear spring water flowing out.
After leaving for a while, Qingzhan's shoes and socks were all soaked, and she looked at her wet shoes with some chagrin, wondering why the people here were not so troubled.
When I looked closely, Qing Zhan understood.
It turns out that the people here are wearing wooden clogs, and the clogs have thumb-wide wooden blades under them, which are just right to block the 'crossing' between the shoes and the floor, as if the water cannot get wet on the shoes.
This kind of clogs is one of the most popular shoes in the Naruon Pavilion, and the clogs knock on the floor to make an exceptionally crisp sound, and it also makes the people here walk with a unique elegance.
Mingyin Castle always has a laid-back and cheerful feeling, which is probably why there are always people who like to stay here.
Qingzhan walked on the road, but saw that on the double-storey wooden buildings on both sides of the road, most of them were leaning on luxuriously dressed young 'women'. Some are sitting alone upstairs, while others are waving upstairs in groups of three or five.
But don't get me wrong, these are not the 'girls' of the Qinglou, on the contrary, most of these girls who 'show up' their faces are young ladies from some big families in the city.
There is an unwritten custom in Mingyin City, that is, the 'female' in the boudoir must be favored by a man to be considered good, and the more the number, the better the 'female' son, and the more fashionable it is when she marries.
Therefore, the 'daughters' of these large families generally have a boudoir facing the street, and they will giggle and play upstairs on weekdays for people to admire, and if they are on them, they will send someone to send a 'flower' basket. Therefore, whoever has more 'flower' baskets in the stands is the most beautiful girl in this family.
The people of Mingyin City are open, but Qingzhan empathizes with this.
Not long after entering the city, some merry children came up and handed Qing Zhanxian 'flowers'. At first, Qing Zhan didn't understand what he meant, he just thought that they were good at entertaining guests in the city, so he was happy with his subordinates, but he didn't think that this was out of control, and he walked less than half a street, and the 'flowers' in Qing Zhan's hand were full and couldn't take it.
Yan Ru also took a lot of it in her hand, but it was not as exaggerated as the number of Qing Zhan.
And the next moment, Tang Songluo's words made Qing Zhan's brain 'twitch'.
Tang Songluo didn't know where to get a 'flower', then handed it to Qing Zhan with a smile, and asked, "Do you know what it means for a 'woman' to accept a man's 'flower' in Mingyin City?"
"What do you mean?" Looking at Tang Songluo's smile, Qing Zhan felt a tightness in her heart, and she almost didn't fall.
"That's it...... What do you mean by spending a good time with him, haha. Tang Songluo laughed, but Qing Zhan was startled, she looked at the big painting in her hand, and then looked at the strange men who followed her, and almost fainted.
made a decision immediately, and Qing Zhan threw the 'flower' in his hand to the ground, and then ran away.
Immediately, those men also ran after Qing Zhan, and for a while, the entire Mingyin City was so lively!
Qing Zhan panted and ran to the 'door' of a pavilion, and Tang Songluo followed her not far away, looking at the lively scene. It is estimated that for a considerable period of time after this, he will not be able to see Qingzhan so depressed again.
Qing Zhan easily got rid of those strange men, and was settling outside a 'door', but saw Tang Songluo and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know the way." ”
Qing Zhan was puzzled by this sentence, she followed Tang Songluo's gaze and turned back, but saw that on the 'door' of this quiet place, there were four big characters elegant.
"Thirteen Bands"
Qing Zhan read it along, but couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The most famous music workshop in Mingyin City is the Thirteen Music Workshop, why is it so deserted?
Just when he was suspicious, he saw the 'door' of the thirteen music workshops "creak" opened. Then a delicate voice came from within the 'door', which was mellow and long, and evocative for a long time.
"There are distinguished guests coming, and the little 'girl' is not welcome, I hope you don't blame it. ”
As the sound landed, I saw a row of 'women' in Tsing Yi walking out of the 'door', these 'women' were wearing the same clothes, the same hair accessories, and even their appearance was somewhat similar.
This row of eight 'women' in Tsing Yi walked out of the 'door', but there were two rows on both sides of the 'door', and then a 'woman' in Tsing Yi who looked more luxurious walked out, only to see her open the 'door' respectfully, and then Qingzhan smelled a strange fragrance.
This fragrance is different from the ordinary fat powder aroma, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they can't help but have a good impression of the 'girl' with this fragrance.
And in the next moment, a red 'colored' corner of clothes was the first to enter Qing Zhan's sight. This magnificent red 'color' is a gauzy texture, which looks unusually light and thin, like the petals of a blooming sunset 'flower'.
When I looked up again, I saw an incomparably beautiful 'girl' walking out of the 'door'. She exudes the fragrance of visions all over her body, her eyebrows and eyes are bewitching and 'refined', just a slight smile, it gives people the feeling of captivating the country and the city.
The 'woman' 'lips' opened lightly, her teeth sparkled, and then a soft and bewitching voice came out.
"The little 'girl' smiled, and she has been waiting here for a long time. ”
