Chapter 27
In the end, Dieyi left suddenly, only the sound of crisp bells was heard in the air, and Meng Xi set foot on the road to Qingyun Stream.
——
The white butterflies fly over the dense woods, through the verdant mountains, and flutter, scattering a little fluorescence, as if a fairy is dancing.
Beyond the last woods, a bustling ancient town is built on the hill.
How bustling is it?
Judging from the materials of the house alone, you can see white jade everywhere as wall gold and tiles. The street vendors, guarding their stalls, or pedestrians in a daze or looking by, do not notice whether anyone is looking at their goods. The passers-by are all dressed in exquisite silk and satin. The flower hairpin on the woman's head is inlaid with all kinds of gemstones, and the lotus step is gently moved, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Occasionally, a few pedestrians crouched down to pick up the goods, and the stall owners did not greet them, leaving them to the customers to choose. If you choose what you like, you will leave one thing behind, and then you will take it with you. In the trading room, the two did not communicate with each other.
I can't help but feel the novelty, in my hometown, in the dead city, the market is similar to the divine realm, but we shop, there are dead coins in circulation, and the goods have been marked with clear prices, this is the first time I have seen this kind of barter market.
The white butterfly flew lightly to the bazaar and turned into a pure-looking woman, wearing a white dress, as beautiful as a fairy who had strayed into the world.
Meng Xi casually stopped a pedestrian, it was an old woman with a withered face and gray hair.
Meng Xi smiled shyly and said, "Mother-in-law, the little girl came from the sea of thousands of flowers and wanted to go to Qingyun Stream." But the little girl was walking on the road, accidentally lost her way, and strayed into this place, hoping that her mother-in-law could show the way for the little girl. ”
The old woman said kindly: "Girl, Qingyunjian has been apprenticed once in three years, and this apprenticeship has ended a few days ago, so the girl should come back in three years." ”
Meng Xi's heart was cold, since the old woman said this, Qingyunjian was naturally nearby. Three years, whether it is long or not, whether it is short or short, if it is put in normal times, it will be over to play around, but now, she just wants to learn a skill quickly and meet that person quickly......
She frowned and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, I have something urgent, I'm afraid I can't wait for three years, I hope my mother-in-law can show me the way." ”
The old woman still wanted to persuade a few words, but seeing that her eyes were firm, she gave up this idea and said slowly: "Girl, Qingyunjian is a local faction, and the formation of guarding the mountain is very powerful, unless it is a disciple with an order or a guest with an invitation, as soon as someone else steps into Qingyunjian, they will be attacked by the mountain guarding array." For thousands of years, countless people have come to defend the mountain array, but none of them have succeeded. Girl, listen to the old man's advice, and come back in three years. ”
Meng Xi shook his head, took out the token from his sleeve, and said, "Mother-in-law, do you recognize this thing?" ”
Since the moment Meng Xi took out the token, the old woman's eyes turned from cloudy to clear, she took the token, looked at Meng Xi carefully, and said: "Since you have this crane order, you are a distinguished guest of Qingyunjian." See that mountain to the west? ”
Meng Xi looked west, a majestic mountain peak came into view, she blinked in disbelief, when she came, there was only a mountain in the north, when did this mountain in the west appear?
Just as she was about to ask questions, the old woman had already opened her mouth to explain: "One of the functions of the Qingyunjian Mountain Guarding Array is to obstruct the eyes, and the people of our small town are the key to unlocking the obstacles. ”
Meng Xi was startled, looked at the old woman, and saw that she was overflowing with a strong sense of sadness, and couldn't help but shout softly: "Mother-in-law......"
