Chapter 223: One Night City
Outside the Guangxi Gate, ten miles of peach forest.
Inside and outside the capital, all the prostitutes who were a little famous and beautiful walked out of the green building and came to this wilderness with wild birds pooping.
I want to get a prescription for rejuvenation or a pill of rejuvenation from the gods who live in the peach forest.
For a time, outside the peach forest, it can be said that the warbler is singing and dancing, and the beauty is like a forest.
There are two families, three or four families, and the oirans in the courtyard of the Qinglou are not willing to be given the anti-beauty medicine by others first.
But after waiting outside the peach forest for two days, the gods in the forest didn't mean to see them at all.
Those cabaret prostitutes who have become famous and have status travel, naturally they can't be alone.
The maid mother-in-law, the turtle bodyguard, a big vote.
As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and they are all figures with faces in this industry, who wants to be compared to others by others?
So, all the Oiran did their best, not only to set up a colorful shed outside the peach forest to show their identity, but also to spread invitations, inviting the capital city of sergeants and celebrities, sorcerous people, wealthy merchants, princes and nobles to come to help.
For a time, there were all the characters in the capital gathered here, and this excitement was even greater.
Outside the peach forest, there are colorful sheds all over the place, the sheng songs are continuous, the banquets and dances are non-stop, and those who don't know think that the princes of the major khanates enter the city to worship.
And all the oirans, tossing and turning in front of the banquet, shuttling back and forth like butterflies, as for the matter of asking the immortals, they have long been left behind!
It's true: there is wine today and drunk today, who cares about the fading of tomorrow!
The narrow country dirt roads have been widened several times by the traffic of traffic, and the flow of people is one after another.
In contrast, the feast of 100 operas, which was supposed to be the focus of the capital, turned out to be deserted.
They beat gongs and drums outside the temple for a few days, but few people came to watch.
"What's going on? What about people? ”
As soon as the class owners inquired, they found out that there was a big bustle outside Guangxi's door!
The class owners with a keen sense of smell immediately made a decision, set up their stage outside the Guangxi Gate near the peach forest, beat the drum and opened it again, and also did their best to add luster to this peach feast.
In this way, the fiery level outside Guangxi's gate has almost reached its peak.
There are oirans competing for beauty, there are wealthy scholars competing for wind and jealousy, and there are hundreds of opera troupes showing their magical powers.
For a while, all kinds of demons made waves, and a farce of a hundred ghosts walking at night was staged in this wilderness.
And the initiator of this farce, that is, the new owner of the Peach Blossom Forest, has been forgotten to the clouds.
Deep in the peach blossom forest is a small courtyard with three earthen houses in a low adobe wall.
This peach blossom forest originally belonged to a local landlord, and it was a self-cultivation courtyard.
A few years ago, the landlord declined, and the peach blossom forest was left untended for a long time, so it was abandoned.
It wasn't until some time ago that I spent money to buy it that I was reborn.
The three earthen houses have been simply repaired, and they have been decorated by Siqing, although they are dilapidated, they have a local atmosphere.
The tenth month of the lunar calendar is already late autumn in the north, and now the weather is cold and cold.
In the small courtyard, Mu Ying was carving a new type of puppet there, and the three fine ghost brothers were watching curiously on the side, touching the arms and legs of the puppet from time to time.
Xiong Zhen also came back from patrolling, carrying a huge shield on his back and a giant hammer in his hand, squatting on the ground sideways, watching Mu Ying work curiously.
A new fireplace was built in the hall, and Bu Xi, Liu Futong, Yuan Jingfeng, Zhou Lu, and Peng Yingyu, who had just arrived, were sitting in front of the stove drinking tea.
Liu Futong said with a smile: "As the saying goes, heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass, and the gentle township outside our peach blossom forest is more effective than the sword gate pass, blocking everyone out." ”
Zhou Yi said helplessly: "I have been waiting for a few days, but none of these oirans have come to ask for medicine!" Run here and start a business! Hey, so many people have been used to spread the news in vain. Is.... If you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you can't do it, and you can't plant willows and willows without intention! ”
Peng Yingyu took a sip of tea and asked, "Senior nephew, what are you going to do next?" ”
He said, "Since Uncle Peng has arrived, the next step is to trouble your old man." ”
Peng Yingyu said: "What else is the trouble between the two of us!" This time I discussed with Brother Han, and he was staring at that old lady of Mingjiao at home! I'm here for most of the time, just to give you a hand, useful to me, just say! ”
He said, "Okay! Then you're welcome. ”
He took a sip of tea and continued: "Let's create a vision in the Peach Blossom Forest, it's nothing more than creating momentum. With the current situation, the three religions and nine streams, Shinong and industrialists have all gathered here. We have to change our strategy, instead of using Qinglou as a microphone, we can directly convey the message to the people of Dadu! Then, with the help of the mouth of the hundred opera troupe, he became famous all over the world. ”
Liu Futong said: "The leader of the alliance already has a belly case? ”
He said, "One more miracle!" ”
Liu Futong asked: "Is this what the alliance leader went to the quarry the night before?" ”
"That's right! The day before yesterday, after Uncle Peng sent someone to connect, I thought of this method. Lao Yuan said that there will be fog tonight! Let's take this opportunity to give a big surprise to the people of Dadu! ”
He turned his head and asked Zhou Yan: "Are the drawings all drawn?" ”
Zhou Yan handed him a roll of drawings: "It's all here." ”
Endless joy: "Good! ”
As the sun set over the western mountains, the hustle and bustle outside the peach forest finally came to an end.
The people rushed to the last ray of sunshine and left, and those who went home went home, and those who stayed in the hotel.
Those merchants who did not want to be robbed of their places were wrapped in quilts and fell asleep in their stalls.
The temperature dropped sharply and the fog quickly spread.
The thick fog sealed the fire within a radius of two feet, and no more than one point could be thought of overstepping it.
The vendors looked up, cursed God for not opening their eyes, but had to wrap the quilt more tightly and continue to fall asleep.
Tom~tomm~
There were two muffled noises in the fog, although the sound was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet foggy night.
Immediately after, a series of sounds came from the peach forest.
The sound is getting louder and denser.
It was like hundreds of people were ramming the ground with wooden hammers at the same time.
and like ten thousand horses galloping together, trundering the earth with their hooves.
The ground trembled, and the candlesticks and dishes on the table began to tremble until they toppled.
"It's an earthquake!"
I don't know who shouted that sentence first.
The vendors, who were sleeping with their heads covered in quilts, scurried up and looked around in horror and alertness.
"Earthquakes? It's not like that! It's like smashing. ”
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and it was the direction of the peach blossom forest.
Not only them, but also those Oiran Qingqi and the benefactors who lived in their houses also ran out.
At this time, the sound and vibration weakened.
"What the hell is going on?"
The crowd looked at each other in the fog, not knowing what was happening.
"Look! What is that? ”
There was a sharp-eyed vendor who pointed in the direction of the peach grove and called.
Everyone turned their heads to look at each other in unison.
I saw a red light looming in the thick fog, as if it were lightning in a thick cloud.
After two more incense sticks, the red light disappeared.
The entire vicinity of the peach grove has returned to calm.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know!"
"Let's go! Check it out! ”
When faced with the unknown and mysterious, people's curiosity often triumphs over fear.
A man in the troupe who was good at throwing knives carried the knife bag on his chest, and together with three or four friends, he touched it with a torch.
Clearing the thick fog, when everyone arrived at the edge of the peach blossom forest, they felt bursts of heat.
The ground looked like something had been roasted.
The Throwing Knife Rider explores with a torch in one hand and guards with a throwing knife in the other.
"Let's click".
The torch hit a wall.
"Huh? Where did the wall come from? "The knifeman remembers that there was only a fence here.
He held the torch again and looked closely, and sure enough, it was a tall stone wall.
The cracks in the stone wall were still fixed with rivets, and when I touched them with my hands, the iron rivets were still very hot, as if they had just been overheated.
"What's going on? Is it a hallucination? ”
Several people pinched each other's fingers and decided to walk along the wall on either side again.
"What people! Dare to trespass into Asgard! There was a loud shout in the thick fog, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from far and near.
The knifeman was frightened for a moment, and raised his hand to shoot a throwing knife.
All I heard was a clanging sound in the thick fog.
The knife seemed to hit the metal.
"Good thief! Dare to hurt people! ”
In the thick fog, a loud voice rushed.
The flying knife man and others said "Mom", threw down the torch and turned around and ran, even rolling and crawling, only hating that his father and mother had two legs missing.
At the large market outside the peach forest, the people who were awakened could not sleep, and they were looking forward to the return of the explorers.
The faces of the flying knifemen changed, and they rushed out of the dense fog, and without looking at the road, they directly hit the table.
There was an uproar, and people turned on their backs.
A few people finally stopped, lying on the ground and looking back at the dense fog, but no one was chasing them, so they were relieved.
Someone came up and asked what they saw?
The knifeman recounted what he had seen.
That huge figure, a few people who have had a peach said that it was the golden armor in the peach blossom forest.
But I don't know what is going on with this stone wall and the fairy palace?
Everyone discussed for a long time, but they didn't come up with an answer, and no one dared to go to the peach blossom forest to find out, so they had to wait for the dawn to see it clearly.
In the peach blossom forest, he kept praising in the yard: "Uncle Peng is so powerful!" Build a city overnight! One of a kind! ”
Peng Yingyu laughed: "It's nothing! ”
While he was talking, Xiong Zhen also came back with a hammer.
"Big brother! Those little thieves were scared away by me, but I didn't hurt them. ”
He kept saying, "Good job! Let's go eat the meat, the freshly stewed beef of the eldest lady! ”
Xiong Zhenmei agreed and went to find Aunt Shen.
Peng Yingyu said: "Senior nephew, what do you want to do next?" ”
He smiled endlessly: "Open tomorrow, fishing, cashiering!" ”
