The first king Yan drove, the new king ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, open a branch to take scholars, open a branch to take scholars, is the practice of Qi State. In fact, without waiting for the edict to be issued, there was already an endless stream of scholars from all over the country.

After the beginning of spring, the city of Qidu has several sunny days in a row, and the ice floes on the river in the city melt, as if it is about to freeze. The children didn't dare to play on the ice anymore, and the spring breeze blew, although it was still a little chilly, it was not so soaking in the bones.

A cool breeze hit, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but tighten the clothes on his body, today is the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head. After finishing his work, he took Xie Lan and Su Wan and his party out of the palace.

The three of them wore only ordinary clothes, one shadow guard followed closely, and the rest were scattered for a few weeks. At this time, it is early spring, how warm is still very, the willow ribbon is yellow, although it is not a big festival, but as long as the mood is good, people can always find a reason to play. There were a lot of people on the street, and a few people strolled and wandered, following the crowd to the temple fair.

Xiao Zhi was very interested, although he had also been out of the palace a few times before, but he went to a few ministers and the clan palace as guests to reminisce about the old days, and everyone was respectful, lest they lose their manners, and they were very boring. This was the first time he had wandered around the streets, and he took a sharp breath of fresh air outside the palace, and there was no heavy and depressing atmosphere on weekdays, which made Xiao Zhi feel relaxed and comfortable when he was a thief in his previous life.

Although I was easy and easy in my previous life, I couldn't see the light of day when I did things, and I didn't have so many friends around, so I was always alone.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhi turned his head and said, "Today, we came out to play, and if we are not in the palace, we won't talk about those respectful etiquette, Xie Lan is my friend, and Su Wan is my cousin." He pointed to the shadow guard standing aside, "Don't wear masks either, let's have fun like ordinary people today." ”

"It's just that it's not in line with the rules, and the shadow guard can't take off the mask casually." One of them said.

"The rules are unruly, now that I am your master, the rules are naturally set by me, not to mention that it is even stranger to wear a mask."

After thinking about it, several people took off their masks one after another and showed their faces.

Xiao Zhi found out that his personal shadow guard was a woman, this woman did not use powder, her hair was tied in a bun like a man, her round eyes looked at him, her facial features were upright, her expression was serious, although she did not have a very good face, but she was also very moving.

The woman dressed as a man and wore a black robe, which looked a little nondescript. Seeing that Xiao Zhi just wanted to laugh, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he only said to the woman, "Put your hair down, relax, you follow me like this, where does it look like you came out to play?" ”

The woman lowered her hair as she said, and the expression on her face softened a little. Xiao Zhi said, "Others don't be too restrained today, they should eat, drink, and I will pay the money, just don't get drunk and can't go back!" ”

The people next to him all agreed with a smile, and Xie Lan asked, "Since the king has a private tour, he can't reveal his identity, what do we call it?" ”

Xiao Zhi thought for a while, "I am the king of Qi, and I am ranked second, so I will be called Qi Er." ”

......

"This name is so arbitrary, it looks fake." Su Wan showed no mercy on the side.

"What, isn't there a dog egg in the countryside, cow dung or something that is easy to feed?"

"Dog eggs, cow dung have more strokes than Qi Er, and there are really dogs and cows in the family to bark." Xie Lan explained seriously.

"I have it too." Xiao Zhi pointed to his lower body, "Second child." ”

......

"Your Majesty, even outside the palace, you can't be too presumptuous, not to mention that there is a girl here!"

"I know, it's hard to come up with a name, so let's just do it, it's easy to remember."

The atmosphere of laughing and laughing all the way was a lot lighter, which made Xiao Zhi very happy.

The temple fair is near the west riverside, here is a big wharf in front of the dynasty, the shops are rows, the hundred arts juggling is complete, the stall is placed with Song Yan, the porcelain of Jingdezhen, the gold and jade bowls of the first dynasty, all kinds of screens and folding fans, very exquisite. There are also overseas imported red sandalwood glass crystal lamps, chiming clocks, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and so on. There are also teahouses and wineries, which are very lively. Xiao Zhi looked around with great interest, feeling as if he had entered the original painting of the Qingming Riverside Picture.

It's not bad to cross over here. Xiao Zhi thought as he walked.

Seeing a small shop selling rouge, Xiao Zhi walked over quickly. The rouge is placed in different jade plates according to the color shade, which is delicate and chic. Xiao Zhi casually picked a bright color, picked a little and put it in the palm of his hand, and quietly walked to the side of the female shadow guard.

The female shadow guard was watching and guarding the surroundings, and was a little surprised to see Xiao Zhi pacing to her side. I thought I had something to do on my own. Suddenly, Xiao Zhi raised her finger and put it on her lips and stroked it gently, startling her

"Your Majesty, this is ......"

"Don't speak, it'll be fine for a while" Xiao Zhi was very patient, and swept her cheeks twice, "Also, don't call Wang Shang now, call me Qi Er." ”

"Yes."

After a long while, Xiao Zhi stopped, looked left and right again, looked very satisfied, and pulled her to the front of the bronze mirror in the store to look.

I saw that the female shadow guard's originally plain cheeks were slightly crimson, and her lips were also ruddy and shiny, delicate and delicate, and a little more charming.

"Dan's lips are bright and bright, and her beauty is like a beautiful color. The girl's face is still more beautiful if she has a little color. Xiao Zhi touched his chin and looked at it carefully, "I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”

The female shadow guard replied, "My subordinates have no name and no surname, and I am the fifteenth in the shadow guard, and everyone calls me Little Fifteen." ”

"How can you not have a name? I heard the old man say that names are linked to the soul and are related to life and death. Xiao Zhi looked around, the ice and snow melted, and the willow tree had just pulled out new shoots, and said with a smile, "The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." You will be called Fang Fei in the future, the beautiful appearance of flowers and plants matches your current appearance very well. ”

Fang Fei lowered her head suddenly, her face flushed, she couldn't tell if it was rouge or something else, she thanked her and stopped talking.

Su Wan saw her shyness, so she played a round for her, "Sister Fangfei has a hard time going out of the palace, I'll take her to go shopping to see if there are any clothes and jewelry suitable for her." Then he pulled Fang Fei, who couldn't speak, and walked away.

Xiao Zhi and Xie Lan continued to walk forward, and saw a stall surrounded by many people, and when they walked in, they saw that it was a small stall selling strange things, only some strange-shaped stones, and the boss did not mark the price, but just let people look at it at will, so they asked Xie Lan curiously, "What are these ordinary stones so beautiful?" ”

Xie Lan looked at it and said, "These stones are refining stones, which can help those who have attained the Dao to increase their strength, and they can be embedded in weapons or worn on the body, which are very rare things." ”

"Then let's buy a few and try it back." Xiao Zhi was a little excited when he heard that he could improve his strength, and he couldn't wait to pay for it.

Xie Lan waved his hand, "Wang...... Qi Er, you have been practicing for a short time, and you haven't understood your own Taoism, so it's useless to buy it. He also carefully explained, "Stone refining is the most important thing about fate, when encountering a stone refining that is compatible with one's own Taoism, its strength will be greatly improved, and if it encounters one that is contrary to one's own Taoism, it will clash with each other, which is counterproductive." ”

"Then how do you know if refining stone is right for you?"

Xie Lan replied, "Every enlightened person has his own path, and there are five kinds of paths: metal, water, wind, thunder, and fire. It is for the five elements, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing. There are also five kinds of stone refining, gold stone, water stone, wind stone, thunder stone, and flint. And the purity is also different. Those who have attained the Tao must find refining stones of comparable purity and the same attributes as themselves according to their own strength. Too high or too low is not suitable. ”

"Then you have to test?"

"Of course, the process of testing the stone is the most critical."

"If a person who has attained enlightenment uses his power to hold the stone, if he feels unwell, it means that he is not in harmony with his own path. If you feel that the power cannot be suppressed, it is that the purity of the refining stone is too high and is not suitable for you. Only if the strength is slightly increased and the control is within the control, it is the most suitable stone for yourself. A flirtatious voice behind him said, and patted Xie Lan's shoulder again, "It seems that the little brother is an expert, I have good goods there, how about it, do you want to go and have a look." ”

When the two looked back, they saw a young man, dressed in a fiery red robe, with his hair only casually draped, with handsome facial features, looking at them with a smile.

How can this man look like a human trafficker?

"Brother Li, why did you come here, it's easy for me to find it." One person ran to the man in red, "The old man under the bridge over there has a round and powerful calligraphy, do you want to go and see it." ”

The man turned his head again and saw Xie Lan.

"Eh, cousin, why are you here?"

"Guo Zhang?"
