Chapter 32 Sheng, Song and Yan Dance Gentle Township
It was still late at night when Lost and Dusty left the Demon Realm, and after they arrived in the mortal world, they planned to go to the water city, so they boarded a boat by the nearest river.
After getting on the boat, the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, the green hills on both sides of the river were endless, and in the middle of the river, a lonely boat was moving forward under the haunting of the fog.
"Until 10 years ago, Watertown was a bustling scene. At that time, the water city, sheng song and swallow dance, beautiful women like clouds, like a gentle township, let the world linger. ”
The boatman tells the two about the past of the water city while holding the boat. Lost listened to him quietly and observed him. The boatman was a man in his mid-thirties, dressed in a cloak and a hat, with a scar at the corner of his eye that looked like he had been scratched by something.
"And what does Watertown look like now?" asked Lost.
"There was a dead silence. ”
Without waiting for the boatman to answer, Dusty spoke first.
Lost turned his gaze to the dust and asked, "How do you know?"
"Ten years ago, when the disaster struck Watertown, we were there. ”
Ten years ago, after leaving the capital, Lu Chen and his party went to Shuicheng.
"Senior brother, junior brother, come and see, there are so many interesting things here. ”
Jin Se saw a lot of things that the Yuan Zhen faction didn't have in Shuicheng, and he was so excited, he ran all the way with the dust, looking here, shopping there, and being very happy. Dusty was also shocked by the dazzling array of goods, and didn't know where to turn his eyes.
Mu Feng and Qin Yin are not the first time they have come to the world, but it is also the first time they have seen such a prosperous scene in front of them, although the two of them are very calm, but from the smile between their eyebrows, it can be seen that they are very happy.
Suser saw a lot of things and liked them, and they all wanted to buy them. Although I have bought a lot of things, I still refuse to give up. At this moment, she fell in love with a jade hairpin again.
"How much does it cost?" asked Susser.
"A hundred taels of silver. The vendor replied.
"So expensive?" said Susser, shocked.
"Girl, be careful and quiet, this is made of fine mutton fat jade, the texture is delicate, white and flawless. Look at this pattern again, it is extremely exquisite, and every stroke has made great effort. Moreover, this jade hairpin is made by Lu Ran, the most famous master today, and it is very rare to receive you a hundred taels. ”
Under the flickering of the vendors, Jin Se saw that the jade hairpin was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye, and he must buy it.
"Senior brother, pay for it. ”
Instead of paying the money as readily as before, Shan Chen quietly approached Jin Se's ear and said, "Senior sister, we don't have so much silver. ”
"How is it possible? Before we left the capital, didn't the emperor reward a lot of silver taels? Suser whispered, the current situation made her a little embarrassed.
Jin Se and others removed the demon plague for the capital, and also saved the emperor's life, before they left, the emperor rewarded a lot of silver taels.
"I confiscate. ”
After Mu Feng finished speaking, he took the jade hairpin from Jin Se's hand and put it back on the vendor's table.
"Confiscation? Why don't you take it? You confiscate so much silver?"
"We immortal cultivators have always had no desires or desires, so what's the use of asking for those silver?"
"Of course it's useful, you can buy this jade hairpin......"
Sumire said and pointed to the jade hairpin, just then a pair of jade hands took the hairpin away. Sumire looked up along the hand and saw a beautiful woman dressed in red.
"Wow~ Sister, you look so beautiful!" Suser sighed.
The woman smiled and said, "Little sister, you are also very good-looking." ”
This stunningly beautiful woman is called Sheng Ge, and she is a world-famous dancing girl. Many people travel thousands of miles and spend a lot of money just to watch her dance.
The prosperity of the water city was brought by the sheng song, and the decline of the water city was also related to the sheng song.
Shengge is famous all over the world, and there are naturally many people who love her, and there is an endless stream of people coming to Shuicheng every day to ask to see Shengge. Among them, stubborn people are naturally indispensable.
Ten years ago, He Jun, the new city lord of Shuicheng, was the most stubborn among those who pursued Shengge. He did not hesitate to smash the field, threaten and intimidate, and even sent people to kidnap Shengge.
When Sumire and the others were in Shuicheng, they encountered such a situation once. Out of a good impression of Shengge, Suser helped drive away the people who smashed the field.
Afterwards, Sheng Ge said: "You really shouldn't make a rash move, He Jun is vicious, flaws will be reported, this time you provoked him, I'm afraid he won't let you go easily, how is this good?"
"Heh, I'm not afraid of him, even if I let him come, I want him to see how powerful our Yuanzhen Sect is. ”
Suser is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and does things without thinking about the consequences, so he shows that he is not afraid of heaven and earth. But He Jun is not a character to mess with, and he has caused a series of troubles. Shengge's death and the decline of Shuicheng are inseparable from him.
"People love Shengge, but they don't mind her background, and when everyone knows that she is a fox demon, their attitude changes. ”
The boatman continued to talk about the water city he remembered, perhaps because he saw that Dust and Lost were interested in the affairs of the water city, so he talked more. But in fact, if you are a person who has walked this waterway for a long time, you will know that this boatman has been telling the story of the water city, whether the guests want to listen to it or not.
If you think about it carefully, he has been telling the story of Water City for ten years. Maybe he's just talking to himself.
The journey across the river is long, and there is nothing interesting to enjoy except the surrounding scenery, and it doesn't hurt to get lost and listen to the story.
Sheng Song is a matter of the fox demon, and it was spread by He Jun. He couldn't get Shengge, so he hated her and wanted to destroy her, so he spread the news that Shengge was a fox demon in the city.
Shengge's water sleeve building, originally full of people, people who came to visit in an endless stream, just a few days of hard work, became deserted, when it comes to the water sleeve building, everyone avoids talking about it.
Jin Se went to visit Shengge in the Water Sleeve Building, looked at the cold and deserted atmosphere around her, and said, "Sister, you must be very sad." ”
"Get used to it, humans are so ruthless, what's there to be sad about?"
Sheng Ge is a dancing girl, and I can meet all kinds of people every day, and I see a lot of them, and I slowly understand the temperament of all kinds of people. Some people have malicious intentions and can't see the scenery of others, some people cater to you on the surface, but behind the scenes they want to assassinate you, and some people are well-dressed, but their hearts are more vicious than wild beasts......
This is also the reason why Shengge Games has been in the world for many years, but it has not been emotional to anyone.
"So Shengge hasn't had anyone he likes?" Lost couldn't help but ask.
"Yes. The boatman replied.
"The man favored by the peerless beauty who can reach must be unusual, who is he?" Lost continued to ask.
"Him. ”
After speaking, with a wave of his palm, a gust of wind came, and the hat on the boatman's head was removed.
"Yan Haoxuan, I thought you were dead. ”
When he got on the boat, he recognized the boatman as Sheng Ge's lover Yan Haoxuan, but Yan Haoxuan didn't recognize him. After all, compared to the young human boy Zhanchen ten years ago, there is no resemblance except for the same face.
"It's you!"
Only then did Yan Haoxuan recognize Dusty and Lost, and after ten years, the faces of the two of them did not change at all.
The boat slowly docked on the shore, and when he got out of the cabin, he saw Zigui standing on the shore.
"Why are you here? I'm almost dry. Zigui complained.
"No one told you to wait. The road is over there, and you can go into town on your own. Dusty said impatiently.
He and Zigui love and kill each other every day, and sometimes they feel in a trance that the two of them should be brothers.
Zigui shook his head firmly and said, "I don't want to go in alone, I heard that it is haunted inside, it is too terrible." ”
"The gods are still afraid of ghosts, so the people of the Six Realms are afraid that they will laugh off their big teeth when they hear it. Dusty scoffed.
"I heard that the ghost of that dancing girl is very powerful, and it can hook people's souls, what if my soul is taken away by him?"
"Sheng Ge is not a bad person, she wouldn't do that. Yan Haoxuan argued.
"Ou Yo, there is still a female ghost talking here, where did you pick up such a person?"
The four of them walked towards the water city as they spoke, but they didn't see anyone along the way, and their eyes were full of desolation, worthy of the legendary ghost town.
Entering the city gate, it is still a desolate scene. The streets are lined with dusty and dilapidated houses, and it's hard to imagine that this was once a city as prosperous as the capital.
The dust belt came here because she wanted her to regain her memories from many years ago.
"When she first arrived in the fairy world, if she forgot the past in the Valley of Despair, you also know how powerful the Valley of Despair is, and the chance that she can remember the past is very small. ”
Zigui once warned Dusty like this.
"She has to think about it, she has to!"
There is a reason why he must be lost and remember the memories of his previous life, but he can't tell him about this reason now. So he can only take the lost to various places to awaken her memories.
There was a desolate scene all the way, and when you turned the corner into the alley where the water sleeve building was located, it suddenly became clean and tidy. The houses are neatly arranged, and the trees and flowers are growing just right. In the distance, you can see a towering building, which is the Water Sleeve Tower.
When they arrived in the water city, it was already noon, and the sun was not strong today, and it was warm and comfortable on their bodies. The golden light sprinkled on the eaves added a bit of unrealistically dreamy feeling.
"You rebuilt this place. ”
As he remembers it, it was destroyed by fire ten years ago.
"This is Shengge's favorite place, and I want to protect it. Not only here, but also those places outside I will build them all and do my best to restore them to their original state. ”
"Even then, there's no way she'll come back. "Dusty Road.
Ten years ago, he had a good relationship with Yan Haoxuan, so he was willing to say a few more words. Besides, he, like Yan Haoxuan, is an infatuated person. For people in the same situation, they will always feel sympathy, and it is unknown whether they sympathize with themselves or others.
"I always thought that maybe one day she would come back alive...... Although that's not possible. Yan Haoxuan's tone was a little choked.
Lost looked at Dust, she knew that Dust's feelings for Suser were the same. She was a little jealous of this emotion, and every time she thought that she was just a substitute for Suser in the eyes of the dust, she would be sullen. So all the way, she didn't speak, sulking to herself.
