CHAPTER XXIII

Master Chu has been wandering among the rivers and lakes for a long time, and after leaving the mountain, he chose to take Qi Ling to the "Smoke City" he was most familiar with.

Listening to Master Chu's introduction along the way, Qi Ling's mood became more and more excited.

The famous smoky forest, the aromatic smell is fragrant, the hundred-year-old building Taiping Building, the high desire to reach the blue sky, the folk snacks fried fragrant cake, sugar gourd, and 100 meat feasts, all of which are immersive to hear.

But Smoke City is not the closest small city after coming out of the mountain, compared to a very far town, the rock lion ran for three days and did not arrive, I don't know why Chu Shi chose such a far place.

The body made of rock lion meat can't run all the distance in one go, and everyone in the villages and towns that pass by is resting, but they are all sleeping in the surrounding area outside the city gate, because the rock lion is so big that he is not allowed to enter the city gate, and everyone suffers.

"It's finally here, it's exhausting... Uncle Ben is here. ”

In the depths of winter, the cold wind was swishing, and Master Chu got off the back of the rock lion with sleepiness, looked at the city gate with the three big characters "Smoke City" written not far away, and stretched lazily.

"Is this Smoke City, it's so big..."

Qi Ling also jumped off the rock lion immediately, looking at the city gate with stars in his eyes, a little stunned.

It turns out that the world outside the mountain is so big and magnificent, and he is really a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Heh, I haven't seen the world. Seeing Qi Ling's stunned expression, Master Chu snorted coldly, turned to the rock lion, and patted the rock lion's hand: "Lion, we have arrived, you are free, don't go back to that mountain, lest you be poisoned, find another place to live." ”

Roar!

The rock lion leaned down, lowered his head and rubbed Chu Shi's body, let out a low roar, his eyes were slightly reluctant, after all, they had feelings for a few days together, but they knew that they couldn't follow, and the rock lion didn't drag anymore, he immediately turned around and ran back, and disappeared from the field of vision of Chu Shi and the two of them after a few jumps.

"Hehe, interesting. ”

Watching the rock lion walk away, Chu Shi couldn't help but smile, because he felt that the rock lion was a little cute.

"Master, what are you laughing at?"

"No, no, come into the city and open your eyes. ”

It was rare to see Master Chu's smile, Qi Ling immediately smiled and asked the reason, the arrogant Master Chu instantly returned to plainness, swaggering towards the city gate, Qi Ling smiled softly in the back, and immediately kept up with Master Chu's pace.

"Come on, come on, freshly out of the cage of meat buns, five cents a cage. ”

"A good-looking hairpin, ten cents a piece. ”

"Fried fragrant cake, two pennies a bowl. ”

Entering the city, Qi Ling's vision was filled.

Flower clothes and embroidered clothes, the style is eye-catching, the businessmen shout, the noisy and noisy, the high-rise buildings are widely distributed, the vision is shocking, everything is fresh.

"Wow, Master, it's so lively here. ”

"Sure, I can't be cheesy when I go anywhere. ”

Qi Ling's eyes couldn't be twisted when he looked around, and the exclamation of words was endless, and Master Chu was also sneering on the side, leading stupid apprentices to wave, and he had a lot of face.

"Master, is that the fried cake you said?"

"Yes, what, want to eat?"

"Uh-huh, but I don't have any money. ”

"Okay, okay, the first time I came to the city, I was generous, I covered everything you bought today. ”

"Really, Master?"

"Really. ”

As soon as Master Chu agreed, Qi Ling was like a wheel on his legs, scurrying towards the stalls, and he looked enchanted, which made Master Chu cry and laugh.

What Qi Ling bought, it was all food, what fried fragrant cakes, sugar gourds, fried pancakes, xiaolongbao, fragrant flower tea.... Chu Shi felt embarrassed to give money in the back, and he was really able to eat.

Although Qi Ling bought a lot, he only bought one of each, including the buns, which were bought separately, because with Chu Shi's money, Qi Ling didn't dare to be presumptuous, and when Chu Shi was angry, it was all gone.

"Master, although you are usually fierce to me, you are not a bad person. ”

"Fierce ?... Bad?"

The two of them bought it appropriately, and they didn't know where to go, it was very leisurely, and when Chu Shi, who was in the atmosphere, heard Qi Ling's evaluation of him, he was a little stunned.

"Anyway, Master, you're really nice. ”

“... Talking nonsense! Where am I fierce, looking for a fight!"

Chu Shi lowered his head and thought about something, and when he came back to his senses and saw Qi Ling's bright smile, he immediately gave Qi Ling a few palms on his arm, which frightened the former to dodge again and again, and the frolicking sound of the two blended with the surrounding atmosphere, which was very pleasant.

"Ah, who was so rude and bumped into me... Hey, where did you come from?"

"These days, you are so poor that you can't afford to wear clothes, it's so dirty. ”

The two frolicked, although they intended to dodge the people on the street, but they still inevitably bumped into each other, and the people who were touched were all disgusted with their eyes, pointing at Qi Ling, and the merchants on both sides were also coaxing when they heard the words, which made the two laughing faces darken instantly.

"Lao Tzu's people, is it your turn to give advice, aren't you going to disperse soon, do you want to eat the blade?!"

Seeing that the latter's brows were distorted, and his face was sorrowful and his head was lowered, Master Chu summoned the sword in his hand, exuding a terrifying coercion, and shouted at everyone.

"Follow me. The people dispersed, but Qi Ling was indifferent, and Master Chu saw that Qi Ling's humble dignity had not risen for a long time, so he grabbed Qi Ling and walked forward.

"Brother, find the best clothes for my apprentice, and then bathe him in the rear, do you understand?"

Syllable!

"Oh, okay, okay, Childe, wait a minute. ”

Qi Ling was dragged into a shop where he bought clothes, and when Master Chu finished telling him, as soon as the small piece of silver fell, Qi Ling was invited by the second child who sold clothes to choose clothes.

Such a generous guest will definitely be entertained.

......

"Childe, we will do our best to meet your requirements, you see, can you be satisfied?"

Xiao Er came to Master Chu with a smile on his face and asked, Master Chu nodded when he heard the words and got up, tasted a stick of fragrant tea, and finally waited.

Please come to the front of the rolling shutter, Xiao Er pulled it, and the figure behind the rolling curtain made Master Chu stunned.

At this time, Qi Ling was wearing a light blue and pure white robe, with dark blue wrist guards on his hands, and dark black cloth boots on his feet.

What surprised Master Chu the most was Qi Ling's complexion, which had become so fair!

Before, under the slightly dull yellow complexion, Qi Ling's facial features were not surprising, but after becoming fair, his facial features were surprisingly good-looking.

The delicate appearance of the angular face, the brown eyes like starlight, the high bridge of the nose, and the ruddy and thin lips are already charming, and with the long black hair, there is a delicate atmosphere spreading between the spirits and hair, which is simply handsome.

“... Are you still Qi Ling?" Chu Shi was incredulous, his fingers touched Qi Ling's face, suspecting that Qi Ling was wearing a woman's makeup.

"This little boy's previous skin color was a special soil cover, easy to stain and difficult to fade, it took a lot of effort to wash it off, do you still see that the boy is still satisfied?"

Chu Shi's questioning was crossed by Xiao Er's explanation, and then Chu Shi didn't say much, and after throwing a small piece of silver to Xiao Er, he took Qi Ling out of the shop.

"Master, isn't it too awkward to wear it like this?"

"It's not awkward, it's much better looking than before, it is estimated that the little girl of Cangbaimen can get from you. ”

Qi Ling was a little unaccustomed to wearing such high-end clothes for the first time, but after hearing that Master Chu mentioned the woman in pink, Qi Ling couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt that it was just right, and he no longer had the same inferiority complex as before.

"Master, where are we going?"

Chu Shi walked out of the small shop and kept moving forward, without stopping and resting, which surprised Qi Ling

"Old place you and I know well. ”

"The old place?"

Master Chu's answer made Qi Ling's face sink, and his surprise was even stronger, the first time he came here, how could he have a familiar place?

Master Chu was silent, walked for half a pillar of incense, and took Qi Ling to the famous smoky forest in the city, and then gradually went deeper.

The smoky forest is huge, the plants are dense, although there are roads, but there are many forks, and there are many pits, only when you walk into the danger, but Chu Shi's footsteps are extremely steady, as if he has already touched all the roads of the smoky forest.

"Why are there so many people?"

Chu Shi walked to a lotus pond full of open and fiery red, and his footsteps had stopped, but his face was suspicious and angry.

At this time, it is winter, but the lotus flower of this pond is an undefeated flower, and the flowers are enchanting.

"What are you looking at?"

Chu Shi didn't wait for Qi Ling, he came to the crowd first, pulled his head and looked around, but he didn't see anything strange, and asked the people next to him, but none of them responded, but he could see it.

"Big brother, what are you looking at again?" Seeing someone walking out of the crowd, Master Chu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Oh~ look at the lotus. ”

"What's there to see about this?"

"Flowers are definitely not pretty, but when they become women, they look good. ”

"Becoming a woman?"
