Chapter Fifty-Three: Old Man Longji
After dinner.
Gu Xiu was pestered by Yaoyi, and he didn't know why he went.
The Nine Kings went back to their rooms to rest.
Zhang Daoling went back to the room to practice, and last time he gave the Qi Gathering Pill to Xing Rou, which led to the failure of the breakthrough in the last layer of Qi refining.
If the master knew about it, he would have to be punished for three years.
Fortunately, I met Aunt Zhou Ming and the county lord of Chaoyang. Chaoyang County Lord Zhan Yaoyi gave him a Qi Gathering Pill stolen from the alchemy room of the Dayu Palace, and the Fang Pharmacist personally refined it, and Zhou Ming helped him subdue it again, and in the past two days, he had a strong feeling that he was about to break through the tenth layer of Qi refining and enter the stage of foundation building.
Xingrou took Zhan Xianjun to visit the night market in Qingyun Town, I heard that today happened to be the Zhongyuan Festival in Qingyun Town, and there was a lantern show at night, and Xingrou also wanted to join in the fun.
Falling flowers and flowing water follow them from a distance, secretly protecting.
The night of Qingyun Town is illuminated by lanterns, as bright as day.
The street was full of people, Zhan Xianjun was afraid that Xingrou would be scattered by the crowd, so he held her hand tightly, while observing the surrounding environment vigilantly, he had a feeling that the emperor was likely to start making moves in Qingyun Town.
At the Youyun Inn, he deliberately said that the emperor would only make a move after they left Qingyun Town, but he deliberately said it to the surrounding spies.
After strolling around for a while, Xingrou felt a little thirsty. There happened to be a teahouse next to it, so they walked in and prepared to drink tea and rest for a while.
There aren't many people in the teahouse, but it's also very noisy.
The four of them found a relatively secluded seat and sat down.
At the table next to him, there was an old man in cloth clothes of fifty or sixty years old and a child of seven or eight years old, who looked like they were in the dust, probably tired from the journey, and rested here.
The child was pestering the old man to tell him a story: "Grandpa, grandpa, what is the Qingyun List?" ”
"This Qingyun list is a news release list in Qingyun Town."
"What will this news list say?" The child tilted his head and blinked.
"The news on this list is the freshest, most interesting, and most useful news and predictions in the world. . . ." The old man took a sip of wine, touched his white beard, and said to the child with a smile.
"And who posted all this news?" The child asked.
"Well. Grandpa didn't know, the legend was that he was a hidden master named Old Man Longji. Every year after the Midyear Festival, he would hang the Qingyun list under the big banyan tree with a crooked neck in front of the land temple in Qingyun Town.
Early the next morning, there will be people from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes who will go there to check, and even the royal families of various countries will send people to see it! The old man replied with a smile.
"Then could it be that this old man Longji is more well-informed than the news of the imperial court?" The child asked in surprise.
When Zhan Xianjun heard this, his eyes sank. Xingrou listened with relish, not noticing his expression.
"Of course, it is said that the imperial court sends secret agents here every year to wait for news."
"So powerful, who is the old man Longji?"
"Hehe, this grandfather doesn't know, don't say it's me, even the emperor, and I can't find this old man Longji."
"So, this old man Longji is even more powerful than Aunt Zhou Ming, the Heavenly Master of Dayu, and Yu Ying, the High Priest of Cloud China?"
"'Well, that's hard to say! At least it's more down-to-earth than these two, you think, the news of these two won't come out casually, so that everyone in the world knows......"
When Xinrou heard this, she sneered in her heart and thought, isn't this a modern paparazzi? It's so mysterious, I'm going to see what he can post tomorrow.
Zhan Xianjun looked at Xingrou's face and understood what she was thinking. said with a doting smile: "Do you want to see the excitement tomorrow?" ”
Xingrou nodded with a glint in her eyes, looking like she was gossiping.
