Chapter 273: The Man and the Sword
As the general election approached, people in Qingjing became more and more excited, and more and more people were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and at least a third of them had dark circles under their eyes, and they were getting darker and bigger.
A special feature of Animal World's Pandas is being staged here.
It's just that the real panda is always round, while the people on the street are getting thinner and thinner.
Prices are soaring, and there is almost a situation out of control, and the rice shops in Qingjing have been closed nine times out of ten, and they are all bought out, and those who can buy rice are those who respond quickly.
The remaining few rice shops also responded relatively quickly, and immediately raised the price of rice, which had already risen a lot, dozens of times, and now it is nearly 100 times more than on weekdays.
Mibi Jin usually happens in the era of great disasters, and although it is wartime now, it has almost no impact on Qingjing, and Qingguo has made some preparations in advance, but I didn't expect that something went wrong.
Fortunately, the cultivators were coming, and the law and order had been very good, and there were no riots, but I heard that the owners of several rice shops were beaten with sticks, and they were not too seriously injured.
The high-ranking officials and magnates in the capital have been giving porridge and grain since two days ago, including the general's mansion.
Twice a day, each person has a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun, and there is an extremely long queue in the General's Mansion every day at noon and evening, and it can even line up two streets away, and the tail of the queue at another grain point comes into contact with each other.
For such a thing, Xu Qing'an and Dongzang are naturally the most active, and they follow General Xun Yun's three wives every day, and the two beautiful girls make steamed buns. The steamed buns are naturally more fragrant, and their stalls are the most crowded, and the steamed buns sent out can produce several more baskets than other stalls.
In fact, this is the best time to spread the faith. It's just that the time is too urgent, and we haven't even started to discuss the details yet, otherwise it will definitely have an excellent effect if you use it, and at this time, the people in Qingjing are all over every corner of the entire Tianji Continent, and they are the best communicators. Yu Ye pointed to the long queue and said to Miao Liren beside him.
There are many people, and the two daughters cooperate tacitly. Yu Ye and the others couldn't intervene at all, and they were driven to the side to watch, and Ma Liang stayed in the side courtyard to take care of Xiaoqiang. This is a punishment for him for daring to complain about his master.
"It's a rush, but we can still take advantage of the situation." Miao Liren thought about it, walked to a middle-aged woman in the middle of the team, and pretended to be very gossipy. Mysteriously said to the woman, "Eh." Have you heard that the two people who gave out the steamed buns were actually cultivators, and it turned out that cultivators also cared about us ordinary people. ”
After speaking, he turned around and squeezed into the crowd, and returned to Yu Ye in a circle.
"It turned out to be this trick, Gao Ming." Yu Ye gave Miao Liren a thumbs up.
The middle-aged woman didn't understand why a scholar suddenly came to talk to her about gossip, and suspiciously looked for Miao Liren's shadow in the crowd, but she didn't find it after a while. I gave up and started looking around for a target.
The target was quickly found - a strange woman at the back of the line who looked to be a few years older than her. Although she was hungry, how could she not find someone to talk to her with such a big secret in her heart, she very generously invited the person with the child behind her to the front row, and became proud in the other party's thanks, repeated it a few times, and came to the target.
After a casual conversation of a few words, the woman lowered her voice and repeated Miao Liren's words, without the slightest change, completely copying.
The older woman was very dissatisfied with this inexplicable woman, why did she let the first few people go first, and then stopped? However, the dissatisfaction in her heart was not expressed, she still talked and laughed with the woman all the way, finished receiving the gruel and steamed buns, and walked to the person she knew.
"Tao Te Ching" said that one is born, two is two, two is three, and three is all things, which vividly describes the spread of gossip, and after about half an hour, everyone within a radius of one kilometer knows the news and continues to spread it outward.
"His eldest aunt, have you heard that the two young women who were serving porridge and grain outside the General's Mansion are immortals? Ha? Already heard? Why do you think the gods would do such a thing? Could it really be like they say, immortals also care about ordinary people......"
"Old man Sun, let me tell you, you are blessed! I heard you talked to the two girls outside the General's Mansion? This is amazing, those are two immortals! What? Why do the gods give porridge and grain? You ask me, who do I ask? I heard that immortals also care about ordinary people, whether others believe it or not, anyway, I believe it......"
"Little Maozi, quick! Come with me! The two immortals who asked you for directions that day were handing out steamed buns in the General's Mansion! Come with me and see if they remember you...... Yo! Aunt Mao is also there? How are you doing at home? Are there any difficulties? Is there anything you need to ......?"
At noon the next day, the porridge stalls of the two "immortals" were almost squeezed down, and the streets were crowded with people, and there was no way to put things, because the people who got the food could not raise their hands to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, and the people who only received the steamed buns were squeezed out of the crowd, and the steamed buns in their hands were probably only less than one-tenth left.
At noon that day, many people were hungry, and Miao Liren and Yu Ye, who started the help, shrank in the general's mansion and snickered, and were severely reprimanded by Dong Zang and Xu Qing'an after they came back.
……
The fairy soup soup incident quickly subsided, because a large number of gods were coming, although the two soup soup gods were wonderful, but they were still not as good as those gods who came to collect disciples, but this matter has been engraved in everyone's minds, and after these young people go home, they must be happy to take this matter as a talking point.
A few years later, when recalling this incident, everyone realized that the change began on this day.
……
……
At noon the day before the election, there were suddenly a lot fewer people on the streets, and even the queue to get porridge and steamed buns could not stand in line, because those cultivators were coming today.
There is a huge square in front of the palace, and the area of the square near the palace is vacant, and there are some soldiers hanging spears at the edge to guard it, in fact, the role of these guards is only to draw a circle, and they don't need to maintain order at all, and no one dares to step into this circle.
Yu Ye was also sandwiched in the middle of the crowd, not far away, not close, he came alone.
Miao Liren and Ma Liang were reluctant to meet these cultivators, although they had already left Xiaolong Village, they were still unwilling to easily contact the cultivators, and the contact did not make much sense.
Dongzang and Xu Qing'an didn't want to come, many people already knew that they were cultivators, and other cultivators might be very strange when they saw them, and asked about their identities, but Yu Ye made up a set of rhetoric for each of them, but if they couldn't use it, they should try to avoid it, and it didn't make much sense for them to see these cultivators.
Only Yu Ye is the most concerned about this matter, he must take a look at what the current situation of those enemies is, learn more about the situation before going to the south, and get ready.
It is impossible for the ten major sects to miss the election, Yu Ye has a grudge with the Hanshan Courtyard, Liangyi Hall and Chixia Hall among them, and the ones who come to participate in the election must be the heavyweights in the sect, and when he thinks of seeing those enemies soon, he is a little apprehensive and inexplicably excited.
His ears were full of conversations, buzzing, like a large group of flies flying wildly, Yu Ye remembered the Ten Thousand Gu Soul Devouring Array in the Hulu Cliff, and it could also have such a sound when it was launched, but I didn't know how many Gu were still alive now, and who occupied the Hulu Cliff.
"It's coming, it's coming!" The crowd suddenly rioted, interrupting Yu Ye's train of thought, and he looked up at the sky.
The buzzing turned into exclamations and exclamations, very crowded, but some people applauded, their hands were raised, others did the same, and suddenly their eyes were full of arms, and men, women, and children all clapped desperately, towards the sky, as if to shoot the sun down.
A few black dots appeared in the high part of the far prescription, which was the person standing on the flying sword, his clothes were fluttering, and he was indescribably chic and happy, more and more black dots appeared, and the person who was flying slower also followed, and dozens of people converged, each standing on his own flying sword, and flew towards the square at the same time.
There are a few clouds in the sky above Qingdu, as if a childlike heart suddenly rises, and it seems to want to show that the person who flies in front is raised again, and the person who flies behind smiles and follows, knocking a cloud into a fainter and fainter, pulling out one white line after another, as if painting in the sky.
"It's very embarrassing......" Yu Ye sighed in his heart, he was more envious than the people around him, after all, he was a cultivator, but he was so far away from flying.
A group of more than thirty cultivators, stepping on flying swords, slowly landed in the open space in front of the palace.
People's slaps were red, but they were unwilling to stop, as if whoever slapped loudly could be chosen, and after landing, the "immortals" put away their flying swords and smiled and nodded at the crowd.
Yu Ye didn't clap his hands, but clenched his fists, and he saw Qianyulou at first sight.
In a few years, Qianyulou has become more mature, because the true qi of Hanshan Courtyard is as sharp as a sword, and the sword qi is one of their most famous skills, so the sword of this sect is not a flying sword, but similar to the sword of the earth, but it also needs to be raised, and it can also carry cultivators to fly.
Qianyulou's sword was still the same one, and that day this sword suddenly turned into a van when Yu Ye's eyes were very close to him, but since the Xuan Gu cards had fallen, presumably the sword was stabbed into his chest, and when he saw the person who killed him, and saw the sword stabbing at him, Yu Ye's eyes narrowed.
Probably sensing this sight, Qian Yulou inserted the sword back into the scabbard with a very beautiful movement, and turned his head to look this way, but unfortunately he didn't see anything, too many hands that were only raised in the air were happily clapping, blocking the view.
