Chapter 145: Embarking on the Journey
The new charter is opened, and the heart is at ease and asks for flowers, all kinds of begging, the newcomer is not happy, and asks for all kinds of maintenance of the eldest brother and sister and uncle and aunt and uncle~
Peace of mind must live up to expectations, and the more you write, the more wonderful it will be.
Three days passed, and in front of the boulder of the Flower Sword Sect at the foot of Lingxiu Peak, Meng Ling'er stood there alone, looking at the familiar figure on horseback, and went away, feeling lonely in her heart.
"The ends of the earth are endless, and if the hearts are connected, they are no longer far away." Last night's bright moon belonged to only the two of them. Sitting side by side on the edge of the cliff, holding hands, ten fingers clasped, looking at the west lock love cliff until the east is shining, and the sun breaks through the clouds.
"The sky has no eyes, my life is up to me, I will definitely become famous as soon as possible, and come back to marry you with colorful auspicious clouds! Hehe. Don't hate her, because, she is the only person in this world who loves you without expecting anything in return. Last night's words were still echoing in my ears, and in order to comfort myself, I didn't even pay attention to the sky. Thinking of last night at the top of Lingxiu Mountain, looking at the west lock love cliff, his seemingly joking words, in loneliness, his heart was full of happiness and touch.
"Ask the world, what is love, only teach life and death? There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to? ”
Reading the poem he had carved on the edge of the cliff last night, he smiled softly, and then seemed to remember something, and a blush appeared on his cheeks. The warm wind blows in the face, and the green silk on the temples dances gently with the wind, sweeping on the face from time to time, covering a trace of blush.
Duan Yurou, who was hidden behind the tree, looked at her daughter standing at the foot of the mountain, like a Wangfu stone that had stood for thousands of years, and the wind and thunder were blowing and not moving. Shaking his head and sighing bitterly, his figure flashed and disappeared
…
On the official road, eight horses galloped past, the sound of hooves bursts, the smoke and dust billowed out, and it was impossible to see the way back clearly. I had to meet three forks, a few hisses, and stopped. The boundary marker on one side of the road marks the direction, one leads to Longxing Mansion to the east, and the other leads to Yongzhou to the south.
In the first three white horses, two young women sandwiched Xiao Yao's horse between them, one left and one right, and Duan Mengxue on the left turned her head to him and asked, "What are we going to do?" She only rushed back to the mountain gate yesterday, and she obeyed her mother's arrangement plainly, and she couldn't see joy, anger and sorrow.
Xiao Yao held the reins with one hand, pointed to the east with the other, and replied: "All the way to the east, through Longxing, Xinzhou, and straight to Qingyuan Mansion!" ”
In three days, he took the trouble to find Duan Yurou and treated her as a geography teacher, and almost squeezed out all the big and small cities, counties, and governors she knew in her head. According to her description, Xiao Yao hand-drew a simplified version of the map, with no less than 100 place names on the map, and some large states and counties circled and marked them one by one.
Qingyuan Mansion, the number of Beijing, Linhai, the nearest first city from the capital Lin'an Mansion, densely populated, the place where merchants gather and distribute from south to north, also known as "Golden City". Xiao Yao recalled the location of Qingyuan Mansion on the map, and prepared to take the first step of his long march there.
Eight people travel 100 miles a day, non-stop all the way to the east, Xiaoxing overnight, hurried for several days, like a white horse passing through the gap, fleeting.
One day, a few people galloped wildly for a few hours, there were more and more pedestrians on the side of the road, and after walking for several miles, they saw a city gate, Wei Wu rode on his horse and shouted, "Boss, look, we have finally arrived, haha~" Xiao Yao looked at the gradually clear city in the distance, smiled, ran for many days, and finally arrived at the Qingyuan Mansion where gold was born everywhere.
Entering the city, eight people led the horses and walked on the streets of the downtown area, the traffic was endless, and people came and went endlessly. All of them sighed with emotion, and only then did they know what prosperity was, and how could the scene in front of them be a green dragon, and the ancient city of Baling could compare with it.
changed three inns, until they came to a "Shengcai" inn near the east of the city, they lived in, this scene made Xiao Yao and others smile bitterly, this is too hot.
spent a high price to charter the only three remaining rooms, Duan Mengxue and Bing Qing'er two rooms, and the remaining six people lived in two rooms, although they were squeezed, they could only live temporarily.
After lunch, after a bumpy and tiring journey, everyone went back to their rooms to make up for sleep. Xiao Yao came to the street alone, wandering aimlessly, calculating in his heart.
"Boss, go slowly, you come and take a look, this is the high-quality cordyceps sinensis that just arrived in the store in the morning..."A guy from the pharmacy grabbed Xiao Yao's arm and beckoned him to step aside and introduce the medicinal herbs in his hand.
Say goodbye to the guys, continue to stroll, stop and go, shuttle through the vast sea of people, no one knows whether each other is a dignitary or a common person, no one will despise the bad clothes and torn pants you wear, and no one will be respectful when they see you dressed brightly, because this is Qingyuan Mansion! Golden City! The person who just passed by you is likely to be a tycoon or a noble man.
After wandering around for an hour and navigating the main streets in the center, I had a general impression in my mind. Three vertical and three horizontal streets are staggered with each other, and the three streets in the east and west directions are named respectively: South Qingyuan, Zhongqingfeng, and North Qingxiang; The north and south streets are also known as: East Qinghe, Middle Qingshun, West Qingli.
Countless large and small merchants, built side by side, all kinds of signboards horizontal and vertical look at Xiao Yao dazzled, listening to a boss proudly introduce here and say: "There will only be things you can't think of here, and there will be nothing you can't buy." ”
Xiao Yao's attention was caught by a shop called "Cuiyunxuan", located at the intersection of Zhongqingfeng and Zhongqingshun streets, in the center of the city, occupying one of the four golden corners. There is a crowd of pedestrians coming in and out, and there are two strong men with bare breasts standing at the door, their eyes do not squint, they look straight ahead, like a stone statue.
When I entered the store, it was crowded with people, but the strange thing was that although there were many people, it was surprisingly quiet, and there were people talking with each other whispering. Walking inside, I saw a giant word "Jing", which was hung on the wall with a gold wire border. The lower left corner is covered with a seal, engraved with the seal character, Xiao Yao can only identify the last "seal" word, and under careful questioning, he knows that the four words are engraved with the "Cangming Crane Seal".
There was no one who looked like the boss in the store, and outside the door, there was a transparent counter in the east, west, north and south, which was full of all kinds of treasures, and only one guy in each counter scanned the people in front of the counter and did not open his mouth to talk to the customers. After inquiring, I learned that this was actually a large trading house specializing in hand-overs.
At this moment, a bald sweaty man walked in outside the door, wearing a blue-black robe, carrying a black bag, and seemed to know that the contents of the bag were not light. The man walked to the front of the west side of the table, with a muffled "bang", put the black bag on the counter, and asked the guy: "Estimate me, see how much this thing is worth, I want cash!" ”
Xiao Yao stood aside curiously, listening to his accent, as if he was from outside the Guan.
"Please wait a moment~" The business came to the door, and I saw the guy at the counter take off the copper bell pinned to his waist, and shook it in his hand a few times, making a crisp sound of a jingle bell. In the middle of the night, the curtain on the inside was lifted, and an old man walked straight to this side.
