Chapter 60: The Spring Pavilion
Speaking of Manchun Pavilion, we have to start with the origin of HSBC Bazaar.
Originally, the scale of the land where everyone is now is not enough to be called a bazaar, just as a temporary garrison for group rest and supply resources, but with the influx of a large number of personnel, the scale function is instantly huge and perfect, trading, transportation, supply, entertainment, escort, everything, and even the peripheral protection formation, with the cooperation of everyone, has also been transformed from a low-level low stage to a low-level high stage, even if several low-level demon beasts attack at the same time, they can also resist for a while, which invisibly greatly strengthens the security of personnel and property in the HSBC market.
Since its expansion, the bazaar is no longer just a simple vacant lot, where all transactions and life are mixed together, but is divided into four main blocks and a central block, namely the East Block, which supplies resources, equipment purchase and maintenance, the North Block, which transports goods and consignments of guards, the West Block, which is a free trade market for mages, fighters, and other major forces to trade with each other, and the South Block, which is a living place for all people to eat, live and play.
The central block is a square paved with white jade in a radius of two or three hundred meters, which looks gorgeous and elegant, just the opposite of the muddy pavement of other blocks, which looks out of place, and unusually, it is forbidden to build any buildings and groups on the square, only the occasional patrol team passes, or some large power organizations recruit personnel here.
In fact, it's not that everyone doesn't want to occupy such a good geographical environment, but this is the center of the entire bazaar protection array, due to the poor materials of the formation layout and the limited level of personnel, the formation eye is exposed and covers a wide area, if there is the slightest obstruction, it will make the formation energy transmission cycle sluggish, if it is attacked at this time, the protection array is very easy to be broken, so it will leave such a large piece of open space as a square in this market where every inch of land must be contested.
......
If the central square is a forbidden place that is rarely visited, then the south block is the most lively in the whole market, and it is also the most serious place where fish and dragons are mixed, whether it is the people of the three religions and the nine streams, or the children of prominent clans, the poor coachmen and miners, or the capable mage fighters, they will gather here, in addition to eating and lodging, it is also a good place to chat and have fun after tea and dinner, so if you want to find out the news or something, it is the best place to come here.
Therefore, there is a saying that is widely spread in the surrounding area, people who come to Tianyadong must stop at HSBC Market, and those who stay in HSBC Market must go to the South Block, and go to the South Block and do not go to Manchun Pavilion, as if they have not been to HSBC Market.
From this, the fame of Manchun Pavilion can be seen.
......
Dusk is approaching, the hustle and bustle of the streets has been replaced by bustle and jubilation, and the crowds are gradually crowded, at this time, except for a few guards who are on duty on patrol and miners who work overtime, most of them have returned to the bazaar one after another, and have begun to sort out the day's harvest, to trade, to make arrangements for tomorrow or to find a restaurant to have a good meal, and most of them have just finished at night, how can they squander a lot of spare time? You have to make an appointment with friends, and go to the south block in groups to find some teahouses to chat or listen to music and have fun.
"Brother Kun, where are you going to take me...", a warm male voice gasped and shouted, he was wearing a cream white woven gold brocade shirt, a light purple and red dragon pattern wide belt tied around his waist, under his long flaxen-colored flowing hair, a pair of clear eyes, his figure was slightly thin, but it was difficult to hide his unique temperament.
The black-haired man who pulled him in front of him, called Brother Kun, was wearing a gold brocade robe, with an orange brocade belt tied around his waist, his body was dignified, he looked graceful, and his charming and handsome face was full of smiles, his steps were hurried, and his mouth was still explaining, "Oh, I'll know when I arrive, it must be a good place, you hurry up, there will be no place if it's late." As he spoke, instead of slowing down, he took three steps and two steps, which made him a little faster.
"There's no place yet, you're too..." The white-shirted young man said noncommittally, his face full of disdain, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, he found that an antique wooden building ten meters high and occupying more than half an acre of land appeared in front of him.
And this building suddenly appeared in a group of low shops, becoming the most dazzling existence in the whole block.
The scene in front of him stunned the young man who was still full of ridicule just now, and just stood there stunned and looked at it without saying a word, his mouth slightly open, although he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but it must have been the first time he had seen such a battle.
"Hey, don't be stupid, get inside. The handsome man standing beside him glanced at his bewildered friend, shrugged his left shoulder, and pushed him, signaling not to lose their identities.
"Oh, oh, okay, okay, let's go, go in..." The young man in the white shirt came back to his senses, hurriedly answered, and then strode out, about to walk towards the building in front of him.
As soon as he took a step, he was stopped by a handsome man in a golden brocade robe, "Alas! wait, wait, don't worry." ”
He turned his face sideways and looked at his companion with a suspicious face, not understanding why the other party urged him to hurry in, but stopped himself, just after a moment of hesitation, he saw an object flying from the air, he subconsciously stretched out one hand and grabbed it in the air, held it tightly, put it in front of him, hesitantly raised his eyes to look at the other party, and then moved his gaze back to his hand, and opened his palm at the same time.
I saw a crystal clear white jade square card lying quietly on the palm of the hand, the jade plate was carved with a galloping horse, its four hooves were windy, the long mane was flying, with the front hooves rising in the air, looking up to the sky and roaring, the blazing eyes made people awe-inspiring, lifelike as if they were about to step into the air from their hands, they looked at it for a long time, their minds were awe-inspiring but full of energy, wonderful.
"This..."The white-shirted young man gasped, he had never seen such a magical thing in his family, it was really an eye-opener.
"There's no need to make a fuss, there's a lot of interesting stuff in there, let's talk about it first. Seeing that his brother was so lonely and unheard, the handsome man also smiled dumbly, stopped procrastinating, and walked straight towards the door.
Seeing that his companion was gone, the white-shirted young man clenched the jade plaque in his hand again and followed closely.
......
After a while, the two of them stopped at the gate where the plaque of "Manchun Pavilion" was hung, which was very different from the bustling crowd on the side of the street, at this time, there were only more than ten people waiting at the door in turn, talking with the guards, some shook their heads and left, some were just looked at, and then walked straight in regardless of it, and some were bowed down by the waiter into the inner hall and disappeared.
The two of them also waited behind everyone, "Alas, Brother Kun, what kind of place is this Manchun Pavilion, since it is open for business, why is it so..."The young man in white shirt didn't know how to express the doubts in his heart for a while, and looked at the crowd that was being inspected one by one, with a helpless expression.
"Haha, Brother Gu Xian, don't you know, this Manchun Pavilion is not an ordinary place, not everyone can enter and exit, it is the existence of the three major demons of Shenzhou with Tianxiang Courtyard and Fengqi Pavilion, different from ordinary forces, sects, and not a chamber of commerce in the ordinary sense or a place for the pastime of inferior Qinglou, they are expanding their business at the same time, they are collecting magic weapons and recruiting geniuses from all over the world, and it is said that their strength is directly catching up with the three top power organizations of the military, the Magic Association and the Demon Hunting Alliance. The corners of the man in the golden brocade roof raised slightly, and he spoke with a smug face.
