Chapter 24 Qingyuan Town

The road to Qingyuan Town is very flat, although it is not an asphalt road, but it is rammed with mud tightly, flat as a stone, which makes it very convenient for Wu Wei to walk, the soil exudes a fresh smell, it is obvious that someone has been maintaining it at ordinary times, and on the side of the road, every ten meters or so there are some tall evergreen trees like the same road tree.

At this time, it was winter, the night came very fast, and when Wu Wei caught up with the people in front of him, the night was almost dark, Wu Wei conveyed Zhang Jiajia to pick up their relatives, everyone was relieved, for them, their relatives are the things they are most concerned about now, now the dust has settled, the mood is relaxed, and the laughter and play are very lively. As the night deepened, and before everyone could get used to the darkness, hundreds of lights lit up around the road, which were not bright under a single light, but when they were opened, they were like the street lamps of the mortal world.

"It's amazing that there are street lights on this tree. Zhou Yi and Li Yi are very excited, all the way to practice, the relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, Zhou Yi is a self-acquaintance, Li Yi is addicted to the way of cultivation all day long, plus the two of them are very talented, except for Wu Wei, it can be said that they are the people who have gone the farthest on this road. In addition, Li Yi instilled his views on the world to Zhou Yi every day, combined with his stories from novels and anecdotes of gods and ghosts, under his narration, it also had some meaning, and after a few times, Zhou Yi was almost taught to be half a little god.

"It doesn't look like a street lamp. ”

Wu Wei looked really carefully, the glowing objects on the trees over there were actually some glowing insects like silkworm babies, their bodies were milky white, transparent like amber, and even the organs in their bodies could be seen clearly under a closer look, they were lying on the branches and sucking those tree sap, those yellow-brown sap, after entering their bodies, making their appearance shine a little more vigorous.

Everyone also understood, the surface of the insect was milky white, and it looked round, but it was a little pleasing, "I'll go catch one." Zhou Yi saw that his hands were itchy and wanted to go up to the tree to catch one.

"Don't be, this insect shines like this at night, and I'm not afraid of inviting any animals over, I should have some ability to save my life." "Wu Wei thinks about it more comprehensively, if you don't understand these creatures in Kunlun, it's wiser not to provoke them.

Although Zhou Yi was itching, he also understood that what Wu Wei said was reasonable, so he could only look at the jade silkworm on the tree with his eyes open, keeping his horn.

"They went up. Since leaving Qianyuanzi, Wang Wei and his group have separated from them, they have gone ahead, and when they heard Wu Wei's words, they just sneered, there are risks to gains, if they are like Wu Wei, they are afraid that they will not do anything. Among the four people, Wang Yi's hands and feet are clever, his movements are sharp, and he jumped up in three or two clicks, the tree is about five or six meters high, and there are not many branches, but it is not troublesome to climb up under his hands.

The jade silkworms didn't know whether they were moving slowly or turning a blind eye, still greedily sucking the sap there, regardless of it. This thing is easy to grasp, Wang Yi is happy in his heart, it is much easier than catching those insects in the field, he didn't think much about it, rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to grab one of them. The jade silkworm was eating happily, and when it was touched by that hand, the original fleshy shell suddenly became like the granite, and a series of arcs of electricity flashed out on the surface.

With an "ah", Wang Yi suddenly let out a miserable scream and fell under the tree.

The little chef and his party surrounded him, only to see that his originally white and tender face was now scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, red on one side and black on the inside, his hair was fluffy and bent like the inverted willow, and his whole body was burned by smoke and fire, and he was embarrassed.

"Second Senior Brother, are you okay. The little chef asked this and that with concern.

I knew that I would let you go, humming and chirping in his mouth, Wang Yi had a bitter word in his heart, complaining about why he was so blind just now, and he was stupid to ask for this drudgery.

Zhou Yi and Li Yi looked at their intuition and their teeth were sour, this electricity already hurts when it is on others, if it is on their own body, they will still have it.

"Young people, you should learn a lesson. Not far away, a hoarse voice came slowly.

The voice sounded like an old man. Wu Wei looked in the direction of the sound, and there was a low grass hut about ten meters away from the road, which was very simple, but it was scattered, almost integrated with those trees and grasses, and there was a small reclining chair in front of the shed, which was made of bamboo, and I didn't know what kind of beast fur was laid on it, and it looked very warm. The old man's fairy eyebrows are like snow, the white hair on his face is neatly trimmed, even the sideburns have been carefully modified, the green clothes and white cloth on his body, the clothes are simple and simple, although there are several patches up and down, but it looks clean.

He lay down on the bunk, and his body sank into the soft fur, and he held a large bag of dry tobacco in his hand, and the smoke was so thick that he felt that even the gray eyebrows seemed to float up.

"You are from outside the village," the old man had a very good look, and when everyone came in, they had already noticed that the cigarette stick in his hand did not stop, but only spewed out smoke rings in the air, which was very good. "I've been in this village for so many years, don't talk about the people in this village, even if it's a dog, there's no one I don't know Old Man Wu. ”

"May I ask who the predecessor is......" Wang Wei was not sure if this person was a master, seeing Wu Wei's expression was very respectful, and he also learned to bow, after all, there was an example of a great immortal like Qianyuanzi in front of him, and an old man in this Kunlun Wonderland was full of aura, who knows if it was a master of Taoism.

"What seniors are not seniors. The old man smiled happily, "I cover the forests on this road, you can just call me Old Man Wu." ”

Although he is a forest ranger, everyone does not dare to regard him as an ordinary person.

Wu Wei just smiled, this journey is a test for them, although this old man is not a cultivator, but he must be a senior resident in Qingyuan Town, there are people in the court who are easy to do, they are not familiar with life, this old man is the first villager they meet, if they can get first-hand information from the old man, it will be of great benefit to them. Zhang Cheng and Wu Wei had a tacit understanding, the thief rolled his eyes, and greeted him with cigarettes and wine bought from the town under the mountain. In such a place, good tobacco and alcohol are hard currency.

Zhang Cheng only lifted the cork, the old man's eyes lit up, these are the wines made by the townspeople at the foot of the mountain, when they took the car, they were afraid of being bored on the road, Zhang Cheng and the little chef went to buy some soju and snacks, and later drank a lot when they practiced, but there were still a lot left. The wine brewed by those townspeople is very different from the bottled wine that is usually drunk, exuding a mellow aroma, even people like Wu Wei who don't usually drink much can arouse gluttony, and the cigarette is also the best, Zhang Cheng is an expert in tobacco and wine, especially the kind of tobacco that is not a famous brand, but has a unique charm.

"You kid, go up. The old man smelled the aroma of the wine and secretly gave a thumbs up, both of them were good at this, and they both tacitly agreed.

"Old man, I won't tell you, we are really from outside, come here to travel, I heard the townspeople at the bottom of the mountain say that there is a blessed land of immortals here, so I touched it in, and then don't say it, I really let us meet an old immortal, that immortal mana is all over the sky, we just came to see, join in the fun." Cough...... cough ......" Zhang Cheng took the big smoking gun, learned the old man to take a sip, choked a few sips, the tobacco didn't know what kind of plant it smoked, the grass smell was very strong, and he was full of tears.

"Don't hide it from me, you all want to be disciples of the Immortal Family. Don't look at my age, there is really no way that the things in this town can be hidden from me, this is the happiest thing to talk about in the past few days, Qingyuanmen recruits disciples on a large scale, this is an unprecedented thing, everyone knows about the streets and alleys, even the three-year-old child who is playing outside knows. The old man smiled knowingly and took two sips of wine.

"Old man, you really know things like a god, I really can't hide it from you, we really came to that disciple, but just try, we still have a bottom in our hearts. With a wry smile, Wu Wei threw a peanut into his mouth and chewed it twice, on his left were Zhou Yi and Zhang Cheng, the four of them sat around a stone bench and drank a small wine, accompanied by a few plates of snacks, and the old man also brought out a few plates of dried bamboo shoots and mountain vegetables, and made up eight dishes and one soup. The rest of the people sat or stood in a circle, ate some snacks, and then had dinner.

"Cultivating immortals, I understand, I think I also came to cultivate immortals back then, but this understanding is not enough, and the third level was brushed down. The old man laughed to himself. "This Kunlun Immortal Mansion, it should really be a good place, as long as you live here, you don't do anything, just inhale and drink water every day, you can live for two hundred years, and people will not get sick, if there are really some fractures and falls or something, there will be regular consultations with the disciples of the Immortal Family every month, and when the time comes, I will look for him, and you will be allowed to take medicine to get rid of the disease." This mountain is full of some heavenly treasures, just now you saw the white jade silkworm, which the immortals used to refine the immortal medicine. That thing, whoever touches the electricity when he is alive, after he dies, it is priceless, a silkworm can be turned into eight medicines, and it can be turned into bones and muscles, and it is something that everyone breaks their heads and rushes to want. ”

"If you want someone to ask about the things in Qingyuan Town, you are right to ask me. The old man burped, "When I was young, others called me Wu Laotong, not to mention anything else, I can walk out of the roads in this town with my eyes closed."

Talking to someone who understands is to save trouble, the two of them are happy, and Zhou Yi keeps pouring wine on the old man next to him.

"Uncle Wu, you said that there are so many of us, we are not familiar with the place, and we don't know what to do, can you tell us what kind of place this Qingyuan Town is, and if there is anything to pay attention to when entering the town. ”

"Hey, hey!" the old man smiled proudly, "This Qingyuan Town, I don't know when it will be, it is estimated that there should be a thousand years, it is said that it was built by the descendants of the Huang family, it was originally just a small village with a radius of a few hundred acres, and then the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and now the radius is more than tens of thousands of acres, and the townspeople are all long-lived people, and now the population of the town is about 100,000. The center of the town is the most prosperous place, with more than 800 shops of all kinds, as well as infrastructure such as Yamen Medical Center and School. The street is horizontal three vertical four, horizontal three is Qingmen, Qingyuan, Qingchen, longitudinal four is Wuji, Qingxuan, Taixu, Guchi, seven roads will divide the town into a square matrix, it can be said that this Qingyuan town is the epitome of the world in Kunlun.

"However, don't look at the small size of this town, the various doorways inside are not so simple. Old man Wu pretended to blink mysteriously, "If you enter the town, you must be careful that there are three groups of people who cannot be provoked." The descendants of the Huang family, who live in the heart of the city, are the founders of the town. The townspeople of Qingyuan Town are intricately intricate, roughly divided into three forces, one of which is the descendants of the Huang family who live in the central city, when the first major force in this town, it is said that their ancestors are a Kunlun remnant in the pre-Qin period, in order to avoid the disaster of war, mistakenly here, the truth of the rumors is not known, only know that the head of the house at that time allowed them to live here, and promised that they could send five clansmen into the mountain gate every ten years, visit the disciples of the mountain gate to practice, if there are talented and intelligent people, they can also participate in the internal disciple selection of the Qingyuan Gate, and there is hope to become a formal disciple。 If you want to participate in the selection of Qingyuan Sect disciples, you will inevitably have a conflict with this group of people in the end, competing with them for the final place. The management of public confidential departments and infrastructure such as yamen, water conservancy, and SCPG is basically managed by the Huang family. ”

"The second is the townspeople who live in the north of the city, their identity is not simple, they are all the relatives of the disciples who enter the mountain gate in the mortal world, Qingyuan Gate has rules, in order to let the disciples focus on practice, if the people of the mortal world become registered disciples, each person can bring five family members, and if it is a formal disciple, it can be expanded to ten people, it can be said that the people who live in the north of the city are some related households. If you provoke them, I'm afraid that even if you go up the mountain, you will inevitably be wearing small shoes. In Qingyuan Town, they set up a medical center, a money bank, a medicine village, an inn, etc., and most of the businesses related to Qingyuanmen are in charge of them."

"The third major force is the power of outsiders, although this group of people is a latecomer, but its power is the largest, and the number is also the largest, accounting for three or four percent of the population of Qingyuan Town, some of them are here to apprentice, some are strayed into the fairyland, and their identities are also shaped* In order to compete with the first two forces, the third force spontaneously formed various groups, gangs, they are scattered all over the town, and they are responsible for the most complex and diverse businesses, all kinds of restaurants, tailors, you can imagine that they will get involved. ”

"You guys are unlucky this time, you came early, there are still more than four months before the Qingyuan Gate recruits disciples, if it's just a apprenticeship, I advise you to stay in the south of the city obediently, and when the time comes, what kind of forces are you, don't mix if you can't mix, after all, this is people's territory, even if it's a foreign dragon, you have to lie down, you say no." ”

"Uncle Wu, what you said is that we, outsiders, are just here to come and see, and of course we won't be those who cause trouble. Zhang Cheng and Wu Wei glanced at each other.

Naturally, they will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but if the other party steps on their heads, they will not be afraid, if people respect me a foot, I respect others, if people wantonly deceive me, I will pay back.
