Chapter 456: Night at Dragon Lake
Walking in Longhu City, Xiao Feng found that the nights here were far more lively than during the day, with almost half of them being cultivators and half of them.
There were long queues of stalls on the streets, and there were many low-level cultivators setting up stalls, but these did not attract him in the slightest, but walked aimlessly.
Soon, a strong aroma of wine attracted his steps.
Looking up, it was a small tavern, small in size, and it was filled with all kinds of people, some drinking alone, some in groups of three or five.
In front of the counter sat a woman, constantly looking in the mirror in front of her thrush, and on one side was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, rushing to greet customers.
"Boss, make a good pot of wine!"
For the little wind who walked in, the woman ignored it and said to the young man: "Hit a pot of white fruit wine!"
"Well, please wait a minute. ”
Soon, the young man called for a pot of wine: "Honorable guest, ten taels of silver." ”
Xiao Feng didn't speak, and threw the other party the silver that he had already exchanged for Erfu.
"Excuse me, where is the most lively place in Longhu?"
"The most lively place is naturally Baihualou!" the boy smiled.
Baihualou is indeed very lively, and at least hundreds of people have gathered here. Baihualou is the most famous place in Longhu, where you can have the best wine, the best hospitality, and of course, the best girls.
The Hundred Flowers Building has five floors, but many customers will only stay in the lobby on the first floor because there are some great performances.
Xiaofeng sat at the end of the crowd, and there was a girl on the stage who was playing the flute, the sound of which was like spring rain at first, and then like a gust of wind, and then like thunder, and finally became like a gentle wind and drizzle, which made people intoxicated.
Xiao Feng sat there quietly, quietly drinking his wine, quietly watching the various performances on the stage, the time passed slowly, the guests slowly dispersed, the performance had already ended, but Xiao Feng still sat in place.
"Red dust? This is probably the deepest red dust, but where is the road?"
After sighing, he slowly got up, returned to his blacksmith shop, and fell asleep until the next day, when Erfu arrived.
Erfu not only came early in the morning, but when the sky was just dawning, Xiao Lin came with him, and set up a spirit fruit stall at the door of the blacksmith shop.
After throwing a pack of spirit jade to Erfu, Xiaofeng left again.
Passing by the familiar tavern, he made a pot of ginkgo wine, he came to Baihualou again, still sitting in the same position as yesterday, drinking the wine in his hand, while watching the various performances on the stage, and he sat all day, and returned to the shop near dusk.
At this time, Erfu and Xiaolin had already closed the shop and left, just piling up some materials in the back hall.
These materials are recorded in the "Complete Refining Text", called Dark Steel, which is a material for refining lower-grade magic weapons.
There is a note on the material, which was left by Erfu.
"One thousand catties of dark steel, and fifty pieces of spiritual jade will be spent! ”
Xiao Feng didn't speak, and with a wave of one hand, all the dark steel flew into the two furnaces.
An hour later, a black dagger appeared in his hand. The dagger was very short, only four inches, but it was covered with thunder cloud patterns, almost a miniature version of the Lingyun Sword.
After putting the dagger on the shelf in the front hall and giving it a price of five thousand grade spirit jade, Xiao Feng went out again.
In fact, the reason why Longhu City is called Longhu is that there is a lake in the city, because its shape is extremely similar to a dragon, and it is called Longhu.
Xiaofeng carried his hands behind his back and stood quietly by the edge of Longhu.
At this time, there are many cruise ships full of lanterns floating on the Dragon Lake, and the sound of laughter and endless silk and bamboo comes slowly, giving people a quiet and lonely feeling.
There is a woman's voice in the lake singing: "At the night of Longhu Lake, the lights are on, and the lake breeze blows the willows and can't sleep." Want to become an immortal... If you want to become an immortal, the immortal also envy the night of Longhu. ”
The voice slowly flew into Xiao Feng's ears in the breeze, and a longing continued to stretch in his mind.
"The lake breeze blows the willows, and the guests can't sleep... The lake breeze blows the willows and can't sleep......"
"Yes, what if you are an immortal, but you are alone in this world......
An hour later, Xiao Feng came to the largest gambling house in Longhu City, Yaxian Ju.
People wondered why a gambling house had such a diametrically opposed name, but that didn't stop Xiaofeng from walking in.
He never gambled, and he didn't plan to come here to gamble, he just wanted to see what Hongchen here was like?
At this time, the entire gambling hall was full of shouts, and some people screamed loudly, and their tones were full of excitement in betting. Some people shouted in sorrow, obviously losing a lot, but more people shouted the results they wanted.
"Big... Big.... Big.... Hahaha, it's really big, I bet right... I bet right..."
"Small, be sure to open small!"
"Oh, how can it be big, I heard it well, it's obviously small!"
An hour later, Xiaofeng walked out of the gambling house, and he still didn't find the answer he wanted.
Passing by Baihualou again, the Baihualou at this time has already hung red lanterns, Xiaofeng knows that this is an alternative business here at night.
Dozens of young girls greeted guests with small faces in front of the door: "Lao Liu, you are here."
"Haha, you have to come, you don't even know how much I miss you, my darling. ”
"Ah, it's Yang Gongzi, haven't you come for a while?"
"yes, where's Pink?"
"Pink is here, I'll lead you in. ”
"This distinguished guest, the night is long, why don't you find a confidant to relieve your boredom?"
"Okay, call your best girl. ”
In this back-and-forth conversation, one deal after another is made.
Xiaofeng didn't think that such a deal was reasonable, was it dirty?
In his opinion, it is all desires and interests that are circulating, some people are for money, some people are for the desires of their hearts, and some may be like him, who have no place to return in confusion, so they just find a place to rest.
It's all like a dream, and when you wake up, today becomes yesterday, and tomorrow has become today, and the days go on and on, day after day, like a round wheel with no beginning and no end. People are in this round wheel, completely involuntarily spinning, until one day they turn into a handful of loess.
"The Tao, since all things are the Tao, why can't we see its trace in all things?"
With countless questions, Xiaofeng walked aimlessly in Longhu City, walking through one shop after another, and stepping through one alley and street after another.
At night, Longhu is still full of joy, anger and sorrow, with scholars reading at night, monks practicing hard, beggars dying of hunger and cold, and babies being born crying.
I don't know how long I walked, I don't know where he went, he just kept chanting one word: "Tao".
Gradually, Longhu City was gradually left behind him, and when the morning dawned, there was already a deep valley in front of him, and there was a turbulent river flowing under the deep valley.
