【082】 Small town
……
After three hours.
Yingqin Town, a quaint and vicissitudes of life, a 10,000-year-old town ushered in an uninvited guest.
It was the secret method that was integrated into heaven and earth, and briefly reached the state of unity between heaven and man, but Chen Li, who used this state to hurry with his legs.
From time to time, there are shuttles passing through the sky, and there are powerful cultivators with rare beasts as mounts, high and high in the sky.
But when they reached the gate, they would descend and walk through the gate with their feet towards the center of the town.
To Chen Li's surprise, the town didn't seem to have a strong guard, at least not on the surface.
On the small city wall of ten meters high made of irregular stones, there are three or three town guards patrolling, and the city gate is wide open, and there is no obstruction, and people are allowed to enter and exit generously.
"This should be the very strong confidence of the forces behind it, right? In the case of Bird City, the city gate is heavily guarded, and the first time you enter and exit the city, you have to go through a demon mirror test, compared to here, it is completely unguarded. ”
Shaking his head, Chen Li just stepped forward, intending to enter this town with a long history like this.
Through forestry and fog cold, and even the common sense records in the language talisman given to him by Wang Dalian, the general environment of this world is exactly like this, whether it is a city or a town or a city, almost all have the habit of building walls.
The town wall of Yingqin Town is more than ten meters old, which is already very high for ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is just an ordinary height.
It can even be said that it is a little short.
At least the walls are taller than the city of birds.
This wall is indeed much shorter.
But Chen Li won't underestimate it.
There are not many things like city walls, and there are also many city walls with history, at least on the Xuanling Continent, generally speaking, no matter what kind of city wall it is, it almost always starts in a hundred years, measuring the time of existence.
This is also the second city wall that Chen Li has ever seen.
…………
"Hey, that little brother below, you should be coming to Yingqin Town for the first time, right?"
Just as he was about to pass through the city gate, a man suddenly poked out of a carriage beside him drawn by a fiery red horse with a single horn, and shouted at him quite familiarly.
Chen Li raised his eyes and looked, and suddenly a big fat man with a red face and a rich body dressed as a wealthy businessman came into view.
This fat man, who weighs at least 300 catties visually, is looking at himself with a smile at this time, in one sentence, Chen Li finally saw the so-called 300 catties of smile, what kind of smile is it.
This fat man's face is full of fat, his eyes are almost squeezed out of sight, and his loose cheeks and multiple chin are even more impressive.
It's just that although this person is obese, he doesn't have much greasy feeling.
At least in Chen Li's sight, although the fat man is fat, his skin is very well maintained, white and tender, not the slightest greasy, and other skin problems do not exist.
So...... It's a clean fat guy.
I don't know how much he can eat in one meal?
Chen Li suddenly had such an idea.
Dispelling the somewhat impolite and funny thoughts in his heart, Chen Li asked him curiously, "How do you know that this is the first time I have entered Yingqin Town?" I don't have the words "I'm a foreigner" written on my face......"
"Hahaha, little brother is really interesting, you really don't have any writing on your face, but the aura you exude doesn't have the slightest taste of our Yingqin Town, if it wasn't the first time to come, you might not be so bold, you just want to enter through the city gate......" The rich merchant and the fat man shook his head and said.
This fat man was so fat that he shook his head, which also made his cheeks and neck tremble, stirring up layers of flesh-colored ripples.
Fat is very distinctive.
Chen Li tried his best to make his eyes look more normal, and his tone was inquisitive and curious, "You mean, is my way of entering the city wrong?" ”
"Of course not!" The rich businessman and the fat man looked like you had asked the right question, and said with an exaggerated expression, "If you just go in like this, there will be all kinds of checks, this kind of checks are a waste of time and energy, and inexperienced whites are easy to suffer!" ”
All kinds of thoughts flowed through his heart, and a smile gradually appeared on the corner of Chen Li's mouth, "So what do you want to say about this brother?" Do you want to be my middleman, referrer, and introducer? ”
"Hahahaha, the little brother is on the road, I dare to use my personality to guarantee that you will soar into the sky in the future!" The fat man looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, and looked at him solemnly and said,
"Don't take my words as an ordinary compliment, you must know that in this Yingqin Town, who doesn't know that my yellow fat man has always only done business with people who are destined? I'm a yellow fat man, I have always been a spit and a nail when I speak, I will say whatever I want, I have always told the truth, and I never speak wildly! ”
"Okay, okay, tell me what I need to pay attention to, and then what will I pay you for?" Chen Li said with a straight face.
The rich fat man, who claimed to be a yellow fat man, suddenly stretched out three fat fingers like radish to Chen Li outside the window, and said with a smile, "This number!" ”
"I don't understand, let's get straight to the point." Chen Li shook his head.
"Hehe, it's actually a third-order Xuanshi, my yellow fat man has never cheated friends, this fee is the friendship price of making a friend for the sake of our fate, it should be very cost-effective, right?" There was a flash of greed in the yellow fat man's eyes.
"Hahahaha...... Chen Li suddenly smiled, and then looked at Huang Fat Man with a foolish gaze, "Do you think you are stupid?" ”
The yellow fat man was stunned for a moment when he asked this sudden question, and subconsciously shook his head, "I, the yellow fat man, have always been shrewd, how can I be stupid." ”
"Okay, let me ask you, do you think I'm stupid?" Chen Li asked again.
When he asked this question, Chen Li's smile was gone, and with a coldness in his eyes, he looked at Huang Fat Man so fixedly, making the other party shiver coldly.
"Aha...... Little brother, you misunderstood, I really, really didn't mean to joke, and I didn't mean to make fun of you, what I said was the truth from the bottom of my heart! The fat man called out with an aggrieved face.
Chen Li didn't even look at him, turned around directly, and strode towards the city gate, his figure did not pause at all, and almost did not pass through the city gate in any abnormality, and came to the interior of this town very normally.
Sitting in the carriage, looking at the yellow fat man who was leaving his back from afar, he smiled a little meaningfully, and then he put his fat head into it, and the carriage disappeared in a blink of an eye.
As for Chen Li, he didn't even look back, so naturally he couldn't see this strange scene.
I don't know that I may have missed a big opportunity or a big conspiracy against myself.
…………
Walking alone on the streets of Yingqin Town.
All kinds of information came to you.
Chen Li, who is quite experienced in this, began to selectively absorb the information he needed to care about, rather than choosing to accept any trivial details like that.
After about 10 minutes, I was standing in a no-man's corner.
Chen Li silently summarized his observations.
"This is a small town that is more lively than the city of birds, although it is a town, but in my eyes, this is completely the appearance of a big city, worthy of a town with a history of 10,000 years, amazing."
"Judging from my observations, although I can't see what the specific realm is, the number of cultivators in this city is indeed much higher than that of Bird City, and the number of cultivators actually accounts for more than half, which is really an incredible number."
"There is also the most important aspect, it seems that about the assessment, the next assessment seems to be tomorrow, it is really early, it is better to come by coincidence, I just arrived today and can start the assessment tomorrow, and this efficiency is really leveraged."
"In the end, I found that I really met a liar, but fortunately I wasn't fooled, the kind of words that even children won't believe, maybe only a fool will believe it, and only a fool will be deceived by him......"
"I hope he won't be touched by me next time, otherwise I will give him a more memorable lesson, let him know that not everyone can be easily deceived, and sometimes the cost of deceiving people will be greater than imagined."
"Forget it, don't mention him, if you mention him, you'll be disappointed...... I really don't know what kind of demon I was under at that time, and suddenly I was interested in the words of such a strange fat man...... Hiss! It's scary to think about it, that fat man can't be some particularly weird existence, right? ”
"Forget it, I still don't want to do this, anyway, I've already entered this city, I just need to ask the mood assessment step by step."
"Let's hope this trip goes well......"
Shaking his head and finding his way, he walked straight for somewhere.
………
The next day, in the early morning, it was still light.
Chen Li, who had made sufficient preparations, was already standing in the crowd of people who were ready to participate in the mood assessment in this batch.
Yesterday's information gathering was not collected in vain.
He already knew some of the necessary information, so it was no different from the people around him who seemed to be very experienced.
Now it is a square.
There are crowds of people everywhere, men and women, old and young, down to a few years old, up to the elderly.
As a local resident, almost everyone has participated in the mood assessment, if there is talent and talent, almost always regardless of background, there is a chance to enter the special position for this town, and it is also very mysterious, the Relatives Pavilion.
This so-called Yingqin Town, that's how the name comes from.
In order to welcome the disciples who can join the Kinship Pavilion.
The square was very lively, and people gathered almost in pairs, saying a word.
"Hey, Liu Lao, are you here this time?"
"Hahaha, aren't you kid here too? Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's good to come and participate in the assessment, maybe you will have the opportunity to enter the holy land, and one person will ascend to heaven! ”
"Hey, who's to say it's not, maybe we'll be lucky to get in this year, this is here to try our luck, anyway, it's not a big deal if you're not qualified, almost every year there are several tests, if you succeed in getting in, it's a big deal, haha......"
"Hey, Old Liu, do you think that if anyone will successfully enter again this year? I don't think it's a big problem, there are dark horses entering every year, and the chances of us ordinary people are too slim. ”
"Who can say for sure, anyway, we're just here to try our luck, success or failure is an acceptable result, my mentality is very relaxed."
"Yes, yes, we are already very happy to live in this town, but if we become cultivators, we may not be so happy...... I am now 53 years old, and I feel that I don't have many years to live, and I am still a cultivator, and I am still a cultivator, and I can live to be 100 years old in good health and ......
"Ha, I know that what you kid says in his heart is different from what he says, it's really dishonest, who wouldn't want to live longer, but we don't have the talent for cultivation, and we don't have the existence of spiritual roots, and it is a very slim hope to perceive the existence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, maybe only an affectionate cultivator sect like the Supreme Relatives Pavilion will allow the most ordinary mortals like us to have the confidence to live another life......"
"Haha, don't mention these troubles, Old Liu, did your daughter-in-law add a big fat boy to your family some time ago?"
"That's not it, it's chubby, it's likable, I always feel that this baby's future achievements will be the height of our vein, that spirituality is not common, and there is a close cousin pavilion immortal who walks the world on the day my grandson came to the world suddenly appeared in front of my grandson, and then asserted for my grandson, this son must have the qualifications of a venerable in the future, I don't quite understand what this sentence means, pony, you read a lot of books, do you know what this sentence means?"
"His Holiness...... I think about it, there is, your little grandson, the future is really not simple, it must be a cultivator who is high in the world, and he is also the dragon and phoenix among the many immortals! Alas, people are more popular than people, why is my daughter-in-law's stomach not angry, and she doesn't give birth to a venerable person for my old Ma family? Alas......"
"Hahaha, look at what you said, then I will borrow your auspicious words, my grandson has the qualifications of a venerable, hahaha, my grandson really has the posture of a venerable!"
"Hey, I'm still not going to take the assessment, let's go home honestly and take my grandson, take care of my grandchildren, and make fun of my grandchildren, this kind of life is not bad."
"Forget it, I don't want to go either, let's leave the opportunity to more young people, hahahaha."
"That's a good feeling, let's go for a walk, let's go to the door and take you to see my little grandson, that is a little doll with the dignity of the Venerable!"
"Let's go, I'll take a look too, maybe after I watch this trip, the daughter-in-law will be able to fight for some anger and give me a grandson to hug."
"You guys bring a few of us with you, it's really not particular at all......"
"Hahahaha, welcome, welcome, go together!"
And then...... Chen Li just watched the old men leave.
