Chapter 51: Qingxi Town
"Smack!"
Early in the morning, Chu Fan was awakened by another knock on the door. Standing up slowly, Chu Fan took a deep breath and opened the door. He hadn't gone out for many days, but was concentrating on cultivating at home with the help of Yue Yaozhu. With the help of Yuehua, cultivation is even more effective with half the effort, and the results are gratifying!
But for so many days, he was almost isolated from the outside world, he never went out and no one came to the door. I don't know what's going on today, but someone came to the door!
"May I ask if Qingyuan is really there?"
"You're looking for my master?" Glancing at the visitor, Chu Fan then shook his head: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
"That's right!" Sitting opposite Chu Fan with some restraint, this person whispered, "My Qingyuan Town is about to hold a Hundred Flowers Celebration, and I will invite Qingyuan real people to go!" ”
"Qingyuan Town? I don't seem to have any Qingyuan Town in Qinglin County, right? ”
"My Qingyuan Town is in Baixi County, and it is not too far from Qinglin County!"
"Baixi County?" As far as Chu Fan knew, their Qinglin County seemed to be east of the county seat, while Baixi County was west of the county seat. This east and west are hundreds of miles apart. If it was the old society, it would be a few hours by car. If you want to put it aside until now, the road is rugged and the traffic is inconvenient, even if you ride a horse, it is estimated that you will not be able to reach it in two or three days!
"My master is no longer here, please go back!"
"What? Gone? Just after recalling Chu Fan's words, this person then looked at Chu Fan and said, "Since Qingyuan Zhenren is gone, then, I don't know if you are free, master?" ”
"Me?"
"Yes, as a disciple of Qingyuan Zhenren, the master must have obtained the true inheritance of Qingyuan Zhenren. Since Qingyuan Zhenren is no longer there, then, it is better to let you go on your behalf, master! ”
"Master, our mayor is sincerely inviting the master to go. If the master can't go on time, I won't be able to go back! Seeing Chu Fan's frowning appearance, the man hurriedly put a bag of silver in his hand on the table, and then said with some embarrassment: "Master, this money is just a deposit. After the celebration is completed, we will have a lot of thanks in Qingyuan Town! ”
"It's good!" People from other counties came to invite him, which was also a good thing for the current Chu Fan, and Chu Fan also took this opportunity to make his reputation. And when you go out for a walk and see, you should relax your mood, "I don't know when your Qingyuan Town will hold a celebration?" ”
"The tenth day of the first month of this month!"
"On the 10th day of the Lunar New Year? It's the sixth day of the new year today! "There is not much time left until the tenth day of the first month, and if Chu Fan's unfamiliarity with the road and other factors are counted, he will have to hurry up and hurry to get there in three days on horseback. If you want to arrive on the 10th day of the new year, you have to leave now!
"Okay!" After thinking about it for a while, Chu Fan nodded and agreed, "You wait for me here, let me go back and prepare!" ”
.......
"Master, we're almost there!"
After nearly three days of running, Chu Fan finally followed the young man into Baixi County. After another period of time, I really arrived at Qingxi Town. When Chu Fan arrived here, the sky had already darkened.
The reason why Baixi County is called Baixi County is because of the dense rivers here, and dozens of rivers of all sizes pass through here. Different from the mountainous area of Qinglin County, which is close to Fuyun Mountain, Qinglin County is one of the poorest counties in the county, with poor land and inconvenient transportation, and a small population. Baixi County is relatively flat, and the traffic extends in all directions, so it is more prosperous and prosperous.
Qingxi Town, located in the south of Baixi County, is the only town in Baixi County built in the mountains. With a small population, it's more of a large village than a small town, and it's famous for its sweet waters. Of course, what makes it even more famous is the wine in Qingxi Town.
There is a mountain stream flowing through the town, and the water of this stream is extremely sweet, which is the best raw material for sake brewing. It is not so much that the brewing skills of Qingxi Town are superb, but that the stream water in the town is sweet. Therefore, the wine produced here is also sweet and delicious, and it is famous all over the world, which also makes Qingxi Town more prosperous than other places.
Although Qingxi Town is small in scale and small in population due to its topography, it is not poor and backward because of its rugged mountain roads, but rich because of its fine wine. It is one of the richest villages and towns in the whole county, otherwise it would not be possible to come up with so much money!
As the youth entered Qingxi Town, the town was already brightly lit. Tomorrow is the tenth day of the first lunar month, which is the beginning of the celebration of the hundred flowers that the youth say. So everything starts to prepare early, and all kinds of garland stripes can be seen everywhere!
Judging from the conversations with young people along the way, the Hundred Flowers Celebration will be held on the tenth day of the first month of this month, and the 10-day celebration will be awakened. At that time, the whole town will select 100 beautiful school-age girls from all over the country to participate in the celebration, sprinkle flowers all over the road, and then pray outside the Puyuan Temple in the town to celebrate!
However, what made Chu Fan a little puzzled was that the ceremony would be held, and the celebration of so many beautiful girls was selected, and it was not limited to the villagers of this town. Of course, none of this is surprising, after all, there are many ways to celebrate. But it's a bit interesting that such a beautiful girl's celebration would be held in front of the temple!
"Master, please follow me!" With Chu Fan, he slowly walked into an extremely luxurious courtyard, which was next to Puyuan Temple, and he could even clearly see the situation in the temple when he stood on a high place. The temple was not outside the town, but on the edge of the town, with a dense forest behind it.
It is said that Cheonggyeong Town was just a small village at that time, because there was a temple here, and after the incense slowly flourished, hawkers and merchants gradually settled here. In addition, I don't know when some people here began to make wine from the stream water in the town, and the wine brewed was surprisingly good, and gradually more people gathered here to make a living by making wine, and then gradually there was the current Qingxi Town!
Now calculated, Puyuan Temple has been built for almost more than 100 years, and Qingxi Town has officially become a small town for several decades. It is said that this Hundred Flowers Festival was held in Qingxi Village, which was still a small village at that time, not long after the construction of Puyuan Temple, and it was slowly passed down later!
"Master, please come in!" As the young man stepped into the courtyard, Chu Fan's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. At this moment, there are many people gathered in the compound, and many of these people are dressed similarly to Chu Fan's, and they all look like they are peers!
In addition, everyone else is also armed with knives and guns, and it seems that they all have one or two hands of kung fu. After seeing Chu Fan come in, these people first looked up, and then began to do their own things, as if they didn't care about Chu Fan's arrival at all, or they were already surprised!
"It's just a celebration, and I have found so many "masters" and so many masters. I couldn't help but cautiously shake the burden in my hand, it seems that the things in this are not as simple as I imagined!
"Master, this is your room!" The person who was received was led outside a room, Chu Fan pushed the door in to take a look at the situation inside, and then nodded with satisfaction. It has everything in it and it looks pretty good!
"By the way, did you invite the people from the outside as well, so does Qingxi Town invite so many people every year?"
"Yes, it's like this every year when we hold a celebration in Qingxi Town, supposedly to ward off misfortune. I don't know exactly when it started, but it must have been a few years anyway! ”
"Oh, I see!"
"Master, you have a good rest first, then you will retire first!"
