Chapter 37, The Wonderland of the Southeast.
When we returned to the jade trading house, it was already noon in spring.
The spring is cold, the golden sunlight is sprinkled all over the streets and alleys of the ancient capital, people come and go, and the faces of every life are filled with happy smiles. Even the cold autumn moon has restrained a lot of chill, smiling and looking left and right beside us, constantly looking for the pleasant cheers and cheers when the peach blossoms sprout in the early spring breeze.
It is said that with copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses; With the ancient as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. However, with the way of heaven and earth as a mirror, you can live and die, and see impermanence.
As for me, I can know the past by taking my apprentice as a mirror, and I can know the future by taking the last spirit as a mirror.
As the last spirit of the True Heavenly Realm, my soul collection team has been initially successful, and the first thing I need to do next is to find a new feng shui treasure land in the vast area of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties as soon as possible, so as to build our soul collection altar.
The previous Jilong Mountain was the prescribed foothold chosen by the Emperor of Heaven for all of us to collect souls, and it was also an ideal place for us to often go in and out of the True Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm.
But I thought about it and thought about it, this place has undergone many constructions of the Soul Altar, and now it is known to too many cultivators and demons and monsters, and it is no longer suitable to make a new Soul Altar base. After all, the demons of the Asura Heaven have been eyeing this place for a long time.
Not only that, but they also fooled some little ghosts in the Underworld to make a very deep hole below, which has already leaked a lot of aura in Jilong Mountain!
"Senior brother, what are you thinking?" The Holy Spirit asked me.
"I'm thinking about finding a new place to build a soul altar." I said.
"Ink, why did you call the rain and smoke again. After a while, the proprietress will see it, and she will scold you again. ”
Before the Holy Spirit could answer me, the chief butler of the jade trading house had already seen the ink and rain smoke walking into the jade trading house together. She put down the work in her hand and ran forward, reminding the ink and said.
Oops! I don't know what the stand-ins of ink and fake rain smoke are doing here! It would make Yuyan's mother have such a bad impression of ink.
Seeing us, the fake rain smoke and fake ink obediently hid in the corner and turned back into the body of the fairy cat.
"Meow meow!" With a few calls, they said hello to the Holy Spirit and slipped away through the door.
"Hey! What the hell have they been doing these days! I don't ask you out to play every day. I'm busy in the store all day, so I still have the energy to accompany you crazy. If you want to say yes, it's also your own big night that you don't sleep, and Baba Di came to me to tinker with this and that. Shui Mo said to Yuyan very unhappily.
"What's the use of all this? Now it's time to be careful with my mom. I'll go to her office by myself in a while, and you, do your business honestly, and it's business as usual. Yuyan said to Shui Mo.
Holy Spirit, Qiu Yue and I, the three of us didn't dare to show up easily, and still followed the rain and smoke closely with fairy energy.
"Oooo Yuyan roared up to the office on the second floor.
"Ouch! Yuyan, why are you here again? Why don't you review your homework at home and keep running to the store? Tell your mother honestly, do you have a crush on a little beggar? Well? Qiu Yueluan put down the document in her hand, raised her head and asked Yuyan with concern.
"Mom! What do you think. I'll call him like a servant!" It's just that when I don't have friends to play, I play with him. You're underestimating your daughter! I like someone............ Hehehe! The world hasn't given birth to him yet! …… Hehehehehe! ......" Yuyan said with a smile on her mother's face.
"Is that really the case? Don't you lie to your mother? Yuyan's mother asked Yuyan and said.
"Mommy! My own mother. A daughter can't lie to her own mother! Believe it or not. Yuyan said coquettishly to her mother
"You're the best. You play in the store for a while, go back early to review your homework if you have nothing to do, don't start next semester, and return all the things you learned this semester to the teacher, then you will be miserable. Obedient! Yuyan's mother said, and went to pack up her own documents with confidence.
"Oh! That's right. Mommy, what's there to do in Jinling City? Like Jilong Mountain, there are interesting places with good temple scenery and lake water. Yuyan asked her mother.
"This ghost girl, who knows all day long that she travels in the mountains and rivers, looks like a daughter's family. A Jiming Temple is not enough for you to play? Qiu Yueluan complained to her daughter.
"Mommy! Please! Just name a few. Yuyan said coquettishly to her mother.
"Hey! My little ancestor! Can't you stop and stop? Now the city of Nanjing is full of hooligans and bandits, where do you go and what are you doing? The more places like that, the more unsafe they are. You can just have fun in our store, don't mess around! A few days ago, your father and they caught a few bandits, and I heard that they were the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi Black Dragon Society who infiltrated Nanjing...... Ay! Anyway, they're not good people. Don't go! Obediently stay at home and be obedient. Qiu Yueluan said to Yuyan comforting, fooling and threatening.
Damn it, the calf guard is very powerful!
That's right, in that era, Jinling City was indeed not suitable for walking around. Don't say you're a little girl, you're a big man in Shandong, and you don't dare to wander around casually. If you're not careful, it's good to be caught as a spy by a GI. If you are captured by the Black Dragon Society or bandits, then you will be sad, and you will not want to go home unless you join them.
It's all good, but if you're caught by a few hungry skinny savages, you'll never want to come back, and they'll gnaw the cooked bones to the ground.
That's how it was at the time, and it's not surprising at all.
Hey, hey, hey! Do you still think that the customs of the Republic of China at that time were very romantic and comfortable? Unless you are the rich second generation or the second generation of officials of the four major families, it is best to keep to yourself and not walk around.
"Mommy! Where do you want to go? It was our homeroom teacher who asked us all to provide some good places for wild adventures, so that we could take our classmates on spring outings in the beginning of the school season. Yuyan lied to her mother and then lied.
"Oh! Then pay more attention to safety at that time. After choosing a place, tell your dad first, and ask him to help check if there are any bandits or evil people in that place. Qiu Yueluan's plump waist moved on the sofa before she said to Yuyan.
"Mom! You've said so much that you don't even look at me. You haven't told me where to find a good place to play! Yuyan pulled Qiu Yueluan's jade-like arm and shook it around and said to her.
"Ouch! Don't affect your mother to read the document just issued by the Commerce Bureau today! Take your hands off, you shake the ground, I can't hold things steadily. Qiu Yueluan said to her daughter.
"Oh you! Tell your daughter a few good places first, and she will disappear immediately, promising not to disturb your work again. Yuyan said to Qiu Yueluan with a smile.
This little brat, where do we need her to ask around!
But it's okay, you can make a reference.
"I'm afraid of you! Look at these places: Niushou Mountain, Qixia Mountain, Stone Town, Yanziji, Mochou Lake, Qingliang Mountain, Shogunate Mountain, Confucius Temple, Egret Island, Purple Mountain, Zhong Mountain, Xuanwu Lake, Xugong Mountain. I'm not familiar with anything else. Qiu Yueluan said casually to Yuyan absentmindedly.
"Asking is tantamount to asking in vain. I don't know any of these places. Yuyan said unhappily to Qiu Yueluan.
"Or else? Where else to go to the spring, your Jinling Girls' Middle School is good, what kind of activities to do in the school, it is not much better than going out to adventure! Qiu Yueluan muttered to Yuyan.
"Forget it, it's useless to ask. I went downstairs and asked Big Mom. After Yuyan finished speaking, he trotted downstairs and came to the shop on the first floor of the jade trading house.
When she returned home from the Nine Heavens, she was so excited that she forgot about us.
"Uncle Shi, Mr. Ling, Qiuyue, you haven't left yet?" That's when she asked about us.
"Nonsense, the spirit of the end is on you, you are so soulless, who dares to leave? Mr. Bao's spaceship was entrusted to you, but you didn't look like a fairy at all, startled, can we rest assured? Qiu Yue said unceremoniously.
"Rouge, it's just that they don't dare to show up, why are you still in a state of gasification! What are you afraid of? You are like this, we sisters talk, and others still think that I am evil or nervous! Sir, master, you should change back to which student you are, so that my mommy will believe that we are indeed going on a spring outing! Yuyan said anxiously as he stomped his feet on us.
"Okay. Next time, we'll all come to the store like your classmates, so you can introduce us to your mom and dad and mom. However, you can't call us by name except Autumn Moon! Just in case. I whispered to Yuyan.
"What's the matter, just do the rain and smoke. Oh! What about my master? Why didn't he come and see us? This dead black three, he doesn't look like a fairy at all, he eats, sleeps, sleeps and eats all day long, and he doesn't take the big matter of building the altar to heart at all. Yuyan said angrily, but his eyes looked around.
Ay! I miss her master.
"We'll bring him with us tomorrow. Oh! That's right. Yuyan, you have a junior brother. Heilong accepted an apprentice in the previous paragraph, a very handsome young man, whose name is "Little Green Cow". Your senior brother has also been strolling around the neighborhood recently, his name is "Pixiu", the second-in-command of the Heishui River, and the only martial arts inheritor of the Black Emperor. Tomorrow we will all call over, and then we will go to the Soul Altar Base together. In the evening, I set up a table in the champion building and feasted everyone. How is it? Qiu Yue said to Yuyan.
What do we have to say! When she got here, she had to rely on her sisters.
"Yes. When the time comes, they will say that we are classmates, you come to ask me to go to Xuanwu Lake to play, and we will go to Sister Yue's house to open a PAT at night, so that my mother will not stop me. Yuyan said happily to us.
"That's good. You protect Mr. Ship, let's go back first. Qiu Yue then said to Yuyan.
"What...... Spaceship? …… Oh! …… Oh! I'm confused myself. Rouge, rest assured, he is our servant, and I will protect his last spirit. Yuyan hesitated for a moment at first, then reacted and said to Qiu Yue with a smile.
"Back on Earth, I'm a little unused to it. It's really hard to adapt to this two-sided life! Give me some time, you guys! Yuyan said to us apologetically.
"What a line! Let's go first. After a good night's rest, tomorrow we will go on a spring outing. Qiu Yue said to Yuyan.
“O! Yes. You can go on a spring outing! Yuyan said happily and went to look for ink.
We got to know each other with the ink and wash gods, and then left the jade trading house and went back to the Cold Moon Palace in Qiuyue.
"Senior brother, I do know a place, but few people know where it is. When I was in the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Palace, I heard the fairy of the Moon Palace say: The land of fireworks in Jinling is actually when the King of Qin wanted to break the anger of the emperor in the southeast, because he acted against the will of heaven, so in the process of sneaking around, he accidentally made a mistake with the royal spirit, and turned a good prince and prince into a nest where the phoenix roosted. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu Yue, Chu and Han competed, and the bad magicians made a good phoenix nirvana land into a fireworks holy land like today. But before the phoenix nirvana, he buried his body in a water area outside Jinling City, where the gulls and herons live permanently, and the fairy spirit is not discharged, and the immortals are called it - 'the fairyland of the southeast'. As long as we can find its location, it is definitely a good place to build an altar. The Holy Spirit whispered to me and Akizuki.
"The Wonderland of the Southeast is really a good place to hide. I've lived in Jinling City for decades, and it's the first time I've heard someone talk about it, and I'm still an immortal. Qiu Yue said with a smile.
"Qiuyue, don't tell me, you don't know where it is." The Holy Spirit said to Autumn Moon.
As they spoke, we entered the hall of the Champion Building.
Because of the need for secrecy, the three of us stopped talking, silently went upstairs, and headed towards Qiuyue Palace.
In the hall, there was still a professor sitting alone in the corner drinking coffee.
Several karate masters of the Black Dragon Society sat at the table on the other side, talking in low voices, sipping oolong tea from the treasure island of Taiwan.
"Hey, hey, hey! Drink oolong tea. Let's hope they don't make some fuss about us. Leng Qiuyue said to me with a smile.
"You're really inexplicable, I see you have a lot of oolongs. Go back quickly, I need to be quiet now! You have to think about it carefully, find a place that few people know, but it is more spiritual, and then start to build the soul altar. I said to her.
"What else are you looking for! It's a wonderland. Qiu Yue said.
"The question is, who of the three of us knows where it is?" I said to Qiu Yue.
"Let's go into the house, we will be able to find it after careful consideration. Jinling City is a little bigger, I don't believe I can't find it. Qiu Yue said and opened the palace door of the Cold Moon Palace.
