Chapter Ninety-Six: Hergrila
The east of the towering Cangyuan Mountains is a vast depression, the Hull River that originates from the pure Mount Everest of the Cangyuan Mountains slowly flows into the North Sea from south to north, and Hergrilla is located on the shallow water beach at the mouth of the sea, because the terrain is low and flat, the sea water is easy to invert and flood the low-lying ground at high tide, and the citizens who travel have to "take the boat instead", forming a beautiful scenery line of the oriental "water capital".
Flying from Wanyang to Hergrilla is not just as simple as going from one harbor city to another, but also from the way people dress to feel a strong exotic style.
Heglila is home to a number of young Gerouni women dressed in national costumes, their garments studded with alloy jewels that glisten in the sunlight and make it difficult to take their eyes off them.
Gui Xun'er felt that someone was slammed behind her, so she hurriedly steadied herself, turned her head and glared at Ling Wenxuan: "Patronizing to see beautiful women, I even forgot how to walk." ”
Ling Wenxuan sighed and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose: "The luster of the jewels on those women's clothes makes my eyes a little uncomfortable, and besides, the women of our Junlong people don't know how many times better looking than them." ”
"I really don't understand, are you praising me and Lan Lingxiang with this? ”
"I think it's both, otherwise he'd praise it along with Yuna. Lan Lingxiang put the salute on the ground and answered, "Ling Scourge is cunning, hypocritical, and very, and you have been with this kind of person for so long, it's really hard for you, Sister Xun'er." ”
"Your little cherry mouth looks like it's been greased, and you really know how to speak. Ling Wenxuan shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "By the way, what does Ling Scourge mean?"
"The greased cherries are disgusting to death, and you can still eat them. If I hadn't been smart, wouldn't I have been bullied by you like Sister Xun'er. ”
"Xiang'er, you are really my good sister!" Gui Xun'er pretended to sobbed and buried her face in Lan Lingxiang's shoulder.
In order to cooperate with Gui Xun'er's acting, Lan Lingxiang said to Ling Wenxuan word by word: "Ling scourge is literal, and keeping you is a scourge." ”
"Oh! It turned out to be a compliment to me! Thank you! 'Zero scourge' means zero scourge, harmless to humans and animals, and you have affirmed that I am a good person. Ling Wenxuan winked proudly at Youna beside him.
Yu Na immediately defended Ling Wenxuan and said, "I never suspected that Father Priest was a bad person!"
Lan Lingxiang pushed away Gui Xun'er, pointed at Ling Wenxuan's nose and scolded, "You...... To dare to deceive the heart of an innocent girl with flattering words is simply an unforgivable sin!"
Ling Wenxuan brushed aside Lan Lingxiang's finger and replied: "Don't slander people, besides, I want to deceive, and the target is also a greedy heart like you." ”
As soon as the words of the two sides fell, there was a burst of "snapping" applause not far away, and a young priest with a beautiful face put away his palms and came to Ling Wenxuan: "Brother Wenxuan is worthy of being a murderer, not only has he established such a huge harem in the Edores Monastery, but he has not seen him for a few days, and there is another concubine and a cheap maid by his side, which is really envious and jealous!"
The priest stroked his short brown hair back, and glanced at Youna and Lan Lingxiang on both sides: "Introduce yourself first, I am Ling Wenxuan's friend Li Jikui, the chief priest of Hege Monastery, you can call me Akui, what should I call these two girls?"
As soon as Yuna was about to answer, Gui Xun'er walked up to Li Jikui in two steps and pointed at Ling Wenxuan: "What do you mean by this? I am a guard nun, not his wife." ”
"It is a great humiliation for me to dare to regard Miss Ben as a. Lan Lingxiang pulled Ling Wenxuan's clothes and pulled him to his side, "This goods owe me a lot of money, so it's almost as good as a subordinate for him." ”
Yuna pulled the corner of Ling Wenxuan's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Father, what do you mean by loving concubines and cheap maids?"
"I'll explain to you later, wait until I get out of trouble. Ling Wenxuan whispered to Youna, and then greeted Li Jikui with a smiling face, "Akui, we haven't seen each other for so long, presumably you have prepared a lot of good things for us, why don't we enter the city first, and we will talk about the details later."
Li Jikui bowed his hand and said: "It's okay, you have worked hard along the way, Xiao Xuan'er doesn't know how to take care of girls, so let Li be a treat, what do the three girls think?"
"Aque, I can warn you, don't call me by my nickname again, or you'll be taught how powerful my fists are. Ling Wenxuan pinched Li Jikui's shoulder, "You'd better change your address to lady, don't call 'girl', you have to call 'miss'." ”
Li Jikui sneered indifferently: "I'm sorry, this is our customary name for Hergrilla, as a priest, you should lead by example, how can you say that you should change it?"
"Chilu Autonomous Prefecture has been the territory of the Junlong Federation since ancient times, am I wrong for you to correct it? ”
"You're still so preachy, and you have a point, but not everyone in Heglila thinks that way. With that, Li Jikui helped carry the salute and walked in the direction of the exit of the airport.
Ling Wenxuan sneered, shook his head, and followed.
Heglila Airport is located on a small island, and the Zani Bridge is like an arched rainbow connecting the airport with the city on the other side, and whenever a freighter passes by, the piers at both ends will be raised for ships to pass, and when there is less traffic, the piers will be lowered for pedestrians.
There are more than 200 bridges in the city, but the Zanne Bridge is only the largest of them, the streets on both sides of the stone bridge are bustling, the dazzling array of goods in front of the shops attracts many young men and women, the children play with the fireworks in the company of their parents, the porters sweating profusely unloading the goods on their shoulders, and the boatmen on the fishing boats on the shore tie ropes around the necks of the cormorants so that they do not swallow the fish whole when they catch fish.
As the boats slowly passed through the bridge, they looked up at the houses huddled together one by one, and the houses built on the water had high pillars standing on the four corners of the houses, which was designed to prevent the tide from eroding the houses. Some of the old houses are as old as the founding of Hergrilla.
"How is it? Our Heglia is much more beautiful than you Wanyang!" Li Jikui smiled proudly at the three women behind him as he rowed the boat, "The three girls must have come to Heglila for the first time, and there is a way to go with the flow and enjoy it, I advise you to have a good time in this city with the mentality of a tourist!"
Lan Lingxiang glanced at Ling Wenxuan beside him, and then smiled at Li Jikui: "Then you need to say that Miss Ben originally planned to have a good time here, how can it be like a few of them who came here to think about finding a job, I told you that there is no need to worry about money, since everyone is a companion, they should be blessed and shared!"
"We don't want your handouts, I'll pay for the charter, and it doesn't matter to us where you go, just don't disturb us with our business. ”
"You door-slamming guy!" Lan Lingxiang snorted coldly, Ling Wenxuan's statement of drawing a line with her made her very angry, and she could only find someone to support her decision, "Xun'er, would you like to have a good time in the city with me?"
From Ling Wenxuan's expression, Gui Xun'er could see that he was very serious, and he didn't mean to joke at all, so he replied, "I'm sorry! This time, Master Priest has a point, finding the Seven Artifacts is our first priority when we go to Heglia. ”
Lan Lingxiang never expected that this time Gui Xun'er would stand on Ling Wenxuan's side, so he asked Youna the same thing.
"I agree with Father Priest, wouldn't it be better to have fun after finishing your business?"
"You boring fellows, it's not interesting at all! Forget it, if you don't go and I'll go by myself, don't ask Miss Ben for money then." ”
"Go wherever you like, who is rare with your broken money!" Lan Lingxiang's eldest lady's temper made Ling Wenxuan's heart very unhappy, and he turned around and went to the other side of the boat to blow the wind.
Li Jikui saw that the two sides were a little stiff, and hurriedly stepped forward to solve the siege with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, we do have a lot of fun places in Hergrilla, such as gambling houses, theaters, and juggling, especially the Hegrilla Museum in the center of the city, where there are many historical relics, which is very helpful for understanding the history of Chilu Autonomous Prefecture." ”
"The short history of the Chilu Autonomous Prefecture is not the history of the Junlong Federation, but after the Second Civil War, they seem to be more arrogant, as an autonomous prefecture still wants to enjoy the treatment of an independent country, if it were not for the mercy of the Prime Minister, they would have used troops against you a long time ago. ”
Li Jikui smiled apologetically: "Xiao Xuan'er's lesson is that the independence faction in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture really doesn't know what to do, but I'm not that kind of person, and I don't want to generalize all the people in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture." ”
"I didn't mean that either, but I really admire you very much. Ling Wenxuan laughed and said, "There are not many Phantom Yao Sect priests like you who hide their ambitions in their hearts and secretly put them into action. ”
Li Jikui touched his head and said: "Where is it, I just want to promote the Illusory Sect to the south, besides, the Illusory Sect and the Shengyao Sect both belong to the Heavenly Zhao Sect, we both believe in the supreme god Yena, and everyone should live in harmony." ”
"Is that really the case? I heard that some time ago, you also sent someone to Falling Phoenix City to propose to Emperor Yan Yu III of the Luo Belun Empire to promote the Tianyao Sect throughout the empire. ”
Li Jikui asked rhetorically, "Isn't this a good thing for the development of our Tianzhao Sect?"
Ling Wenxuan reminded with some seriousness: "For the Holy See, spreading the Heavenly Zhao Sect should be based on the thoughts of the Shengyao Sect, if this matter is known to them, you should be careful. ”
"Xiao Xuan'er is serious, even if we are regarded as heretics by your Shengyao Sect, we should not fight internally, and we should be unanimous with the outside. Li Jikui paused, thought for a while, and said, "The cult Tianci Sect is spreading throughout the Chilu Autonomous Prefecture, and you and I have the obligation to eradicate the cult for the sake of the common people in the world." ”
"What are you talking about? there are people who are enemies of our Tianyao Sect, except for the Tianzhao Sect, it is really unheard of, what is the matter with the 'Heavenly Gift Sect'?" Li Jikui's words made Ling Wenxuan a little shocked.
"I'll take you to meet someone, and when you see him, you'll understand. Li Jikui said, and his eyes fell on an inn called "Lotus Fragrance Pavilion" on the shore ahead.
