Chapter 700: Yu Immortal Bridge
Leaving Yuanyang Mountain, it is the Panlong River. Fly over the Panlong River and arrive at Caixia Mountain.
At this time, Caixia Mountain is very different from the past! There are brand-new red lanterns everywhere on the mountain, and it seems that they have been hanging for a long time, and the original water purification hall has now become a stage, and a ring of different sizes has been erected on it, surrounded by a dazzling array of weapon racks.
Xuanbao's brows furrowed, and after thinking about it, it was clear. It turns out that this place has become a place of selection for the martial arts conference!
A joke at the foot of Caixia Mountain turned out to be true. This Caixia Mountain was originally a holy place for martial arts, a place for the sect of the Pure Water Lotus of the Martial Arts Bull Ear Cultivator!
Now that the water purification lotus is gone, Yu Wei is still there, this place can't be deserted, and people with good deeds regard this place as a place for the martial arts conference. Looking at this, the first martial arts conference should be held soon!
This is also a grand event for martial artists, and Xuanbao, who is not even a martial artist, will certainly not join in this excitement.
Originally, I wanted to go down to persuade them not to disturb Shigong's meditation, but when I thought that Shigong had already lost his breath, he wouldn't go down to provoke right and wrong, just let them toss, the more they tossed, the more they could contain the Yin Dynasty's troops!
Emperor Yin has always maintained a vigilant and hostile attitude towards the martial arts people, and now he is troubled like a headless fly by internal and external troubles, which is the opportunity for the development and growth of the Xuanjun! These martial arts people are also the pillars of the country, no matter how unruly they are, there are the two great martial arts leaders of the master and the aunt in the Xuanjun, and the martial arts in this world will not be unbridled and out of control!
Fly over Caixia Mountain and continue to the north, this is not the territory of Xuanbao, and I haven't been here at all!
And from the sky, Xuanbao finally understood why the emperors of the past dynasties wanted to build Kyoto on the north side of the Panlong River!
The real land is vast and crowded is used to describe the north of the Panlong River! The four seasons here are distinct, the apprentices are fertile, and from the sky, the following is almost surrounded by green fields!
Compared with the dense forests in the south of the Yangtze River, there are basically plains here, and they are all suddenly slightly blackened, which is a sign of abundant fertilizer!
Compared with Jiangnan, Jiangbei towns are not very dense, but the area of each city is almost half larger than that of Jiangnan towns, and the population is large, and the pedestrians on the streets are shoulder to shoulder, and the river is endless.
This is the real big city, every town is very lively, the people on the street are wearing silk and satin, and the people selling things are everywhere, so it is a prosperous scene!
The next night, Xuan Bao had the red rainbow Liuyun stop at a place called Yucheng. The towns in Jiangbei are more strict about the road and the passage of the text, and Xuanbao does not have that kind of thing, so he quietly landed in a secluded place while it was dark.
It's almost time, but there are still a lot of people coming and going on the street, Xuanbao followed the crowd and walked forward, watching the vendors shouting hard along the way, and his heart was full of envy!
When will Xianji and Wuzhen become so rich? Just by looking at the clothes worn by the people on this street, we know that the rich people account for the majority, and the wealth of the people of the Central Plains is also vividly expressed in Jiangbei!
"Smack!" Not far away, a man slammed the porcelain bowl to the ground, grabbed an old man's collar, and scolded him through gritted teeth: "You are an old man who doesn't cultivate, and you dare to deceive your grandfather! This is ice locust soup? You haven't eaten it outside the plug, have you? You dare to ask for money for this? Come on, give Lao Tzu his stall!"
The old man was frightened and hurriedly knelt on the ground, hugged the man's leg and said: "Please let the little old man have a way out, this is really the ice locust, but it has been left for too long! This is not to blame my master, you also know that the battle outside the plug, the ice locust can't enter the pass, and those who can enter the pass have to go around from the ice cliff city, and it took a lot of time to become like this, but it's not a small deception master! Don't smash it, I don't want the money, I kowtow to the master, let the little old man go, and my whole family still points to this bowl of soup to eat!"
"Grandma, do you think that Ye is rare for these two little money? Ye is not used to a fraudulent profiteer like you! I want to buy Ye with a bowl of soup, Ye is such an unambitious person! Come on, kick this for Lao Tzu, let him dare to cheat people again!"
With the man's loud scream, a few wolf-like family members rushed up, punching and kicking at the stall, and the two pots of ice locust soup were all kicked to the ground, the old man screamed sadly, lay on the ground, and hung his feet and howled, and the fat-headed and big-eared rich man took a group of evil slaves and swaggered away!
The old man wanted to cry without tears at the ice locust soup in that place, and sat on the ground with a blank expression, not moving for a long time. These ice locust soup is already his last bit of surplus, and now it has all turned into mud, and the old woman and little granddaughter in the family have completely run out of food, and now he has no way to live except starve to death!
A pair of slender and white hands erected the wooden barrel, then picked up a quick porcelain bowl next to him, took out some soup from the barrel, put it in his mouth, took a sip, closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "Qin but not ice, sweet but not strong, this ice locust soup is really the first delicacy in Yucheng, it is really well deserved!
The old man had an extra dime of silver in his hand, a full two taels, and looked at the back of the young man in the long robe, and suddenly shouted: "Childe, you have given too much money!"
The young man smiled slightly, waved his hand without looking back, and said: "The skill is high and low, it is worth the money, the ice locust soup can make such a taste, and it can be regarded as a must in Yucheng, this bit of silver, it is okay, not much!"
The old man is not stupid, how can he not understand the mind of this young man after living all his life? For a while, the old man burst into tears, knelt on the ground and looked at the young man's back, kowtowing and saying: "Dare to ask Engongzun's surname, Hong Lao'er will be rewarded in the future!"
The young man had already walked into the crowd and was no longer visible!
It seems that this Yucheng is not as full of rich people as it seems! At least these street performers, whether they are craftsmen or skilled people, are not living so leisurely!
The Yin Dynasty had a very perverted law, that is, Shang is business, and agriculture is agriculture, and the two cannot be combined.
That is to say, as long as he is a businessman, it means that his family has no land, and he completely relies on his own craft to earn a living, if he smashes their soup bucket, he will also break other people's rice bowls, and these people have no other way to live except for beggars!
So Xuanbao gave Na Hong Lao'er two taels of silver, enough for his family to live for a period of time, buy some goods, and live again! As for the craft, it is the first time that Xuanbao has heard of Binghuai soup when he is so big, how do you know what the craft is!
I had been walking with the crowd just now, and now it seems that so many people are running for the stone bridge in front of them!
The stone bridge was already crowded with people, mostly young people, among whom there were many sons and brothers with guards to protect the family, but more of them were shabby scribes in cyan robes!
Xuanbao had already seen the name of the bridge, and there were three big characters on the bridge: Yuxian Bridge!
Behind him, a group of people dressed in cyan robes rushed over, and Xuan Bao grabbed one of them and asked him, "This brother, why is it so lively tonight?"
The man was a thin man, and he looked at Xuan Bao with an incredulous expression and said, "You just came to Yucheng today, don't you know that tonight is the day when Xiao Yuxian of Xinghualou throws flower balls?"
"Flower Balls, Xinghualou, Xiao Yu Xian?" Xuan Bao was confused when he heard this, he didn't know why, and he wanted to ask clearly, and the group of people in front of him turned around and shouted to the scribe in front of him: "Hong Sheng, you are not here yet, be careful that the flower balls fall into the hands of others!"
Hong Sheng was also enthusiastic, grabbed his arm and said: "Oh, if you don't understand, just go and see, in short, something is thrown up from the river, you just catch it! But you have few chances to catch it, there are at least five or six hundred people on this bridge, and Xiao Yuxian can't look down on you! But it's good to join in the fun!"
In a daze, he was dragged to the bridge by Hong Sheng, looking at the crowd around him, Xuan Bao felt a little breathless, and hurriedly squeezed out, but suddenly a group of people rushed behind him, squeezing him and Hong Sheng to the front!
A boy on Hong Sheng's right, dressed in silk and satin, turned around, and when he saw Hong Sheng's dress, he kicked his foot and kicked Hong Sheng's knee, scolding in his mouth: "Blind dog, don't you see the uncle standing here?
In fact, Xuan Bao saw it very clearly, Hong Sheng didn't touch that person, that guy was just deliberately looking for a mistake! Hong Sheng also frowned, but he also suppressed his anger and bowed his hand: "I'm sorry Liang Gongzi, there are too many people here, if you are offended, I hope to forgive you!"
That Liang Gongzi snorted, glanced at Hong Sheng with slanted eyes, pouted and said, "Don't look at your poor and sour virtue! Xiao Yuxian is also something like you can accept? Get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu and the others for throwing all the people who are in the way of the eyes!"
Hong Sheng's face was red and white, and he just wanted to refute, but he heard the crowd shouting: "The apricot blossom boat is coming!"
In the far river, there is a flower boat slowly coming in the water, the crowd suddenly stirred, the people behind desperately want to squeeze forward, provoked Liang Gongzi to scold, a group of people in civilian clothes next to him to the people behind him is a burst of punches and kicks, with a burst of wailing, one person shouted: "Liang Gongzi of the Governor's Mansion is here, who dares to approach!"
As soon as he heard that it was Liang Gongzi of the Governor's Mansion, the faces of the people behind him showed a stupid look, but they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and then took a step back, but their eyes were still staring at the flower boat slowly sailing over on the river!
Liang Gongzi's face glowed with excitement, his hands clenched the bridge railing, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao Sao fox, Lao Tzu has smashed almost a month's worth of silver in Xinghualou, and in the end you still do this kind of trick for me!
This sentence was obviously said to the people next to him, and a group of people, including Hong Sheng, although they showed unwillingness on their faces, they also took a step back from the side in fear and kept a distance from him!
Seeing everyone's fear of him, Liang Gongzi's face became more and more proud, rubbing his hands, looking at the flower boat from far and near, and laughing in his mouth: "Xiao Yu Xian! Liang Yi of the Yucheng Governor's Mansion has been waiting for a long time, and the flower ball will be handed to me directly, why bother with all this effort and provoke a bunch of waste materials to desecrate the respect of the fairy!"
