Chapter 321: Ascending
A gentleman must be endowed when he ascends to the heights.
However, at this time, Xu Feng, although standing on a high place, was not in the mood to write poetry at all.
This is a tall tower in the city of Yingdu, towering among the dilapidated large dwellings, rising between the low and dilapidated houses, it is simply standing out from the crowd, and it is difficult not to attract attention.
......
"I'm going to jump off a building!!"
The afterglow of dusk is about to fall, and at the top of the quadrangular tower, a slightly thin figure in green clothes covers the last few rays of afterglow cast from the west, leaving a narrow shadow behind him.
After a busy day, the people of the Imperial City are ready to go home to rest and have a good time, so that they can see the grand occasion of tomorrow's Tsing Yi ceremony. As they passed by the tower, they couldn't help but point at the figure at the top.
"I know! I know this young man! I know this young man! He lives in the Ding Bo compound, there are three of them, he went crazy a few days ago, and today he is going to jump off the building!"
"Bad luck, bad luck. ”
A splash with his arms in his arms spitted fiercely on the ground, shook his head and walked away, while most of the residents of Yingdu chose to watch with interest.
The people of Kyoto regard themselves as the people of Shengdu at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
In the hearts of the onlookers, the Tsing Yi Test is a grand ceremony that only Kyoto residents are qualified to watch, and various news about the Tsing Yi Test has become the hottest topic on the streets and alleys these days.
Countless gossip circulated in the streets and alleys, and every resident of Kyoto, who knew the slightest bit of news, had to be complacent, catch a person from another county, and talk about it for a long time, so as to demonstrate the superiority of Kyoto residents.
There is a lot of news, such as the suicide of two scholars on the upper floor of Taichang Temple a few days ago.
These two scholars came from a small clan in Lingnan, and they studied hard for several years, and were pinned on high hopes by the clansmen, and they came thousands of miles to participate in the Tsing Yi test, but they didn't know what happened and jumped off the building in Taichang Temple.
Another example is the young man who ate in the house and pulled in the house, and in the end, laughed three times and went out. It's not crazy what it is. Therefore, the compound of Ding Bo's family is already a place where everyone knows right and wrong.
And today someone is going to jump off the tower. This person is also a tenant in Ding Bo's compound, a tenant who participated in the Tsing Yi test. At the moment when the Tsing Yi trial was about to start, this immediately became a sensational news again.
An aunt, straddling this basket, felt that she had been raising her neck for a long time, very uncomfortable, and muttered: "Is this jumping or not, the old lady is waiting to go back to the baby!"
After speaking, she crossed her waist with one hand, and suddenly remembered a question, and said unconsciously: "If you want to talk about the tower of light on all sides, how did this person go up." ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, and then, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone talked about it.
"That's right, this tower is so tall...... The walls are so smooth...... The light is so dim...... It's really strange that this person can do such a thing, it's strange. ”
It was an old pedant who spoke, dressed in tattered robes.
There was a mocking voice next to him: "It's a shame that you've read so many years of books, and you're still so poor, so simple for such a simple question, and you still use so many of them." ”
"Those who participated in the Tsing Yi exam, in addition to you scholars, there were also cultivators from Tiance Mansion and Taixu Palace. ”
Everyone gasped, and finally understood how this man could stand proudly on the top of the tower.
If a practitioner commits suicide by jumping off a building, it is an insult to the entire world of practice.
That young man didn't jump off the building, did he......
......
People are like this, when their mood changes, so do the things they see.
The aunt who crossed the basket, and then looked at the figure at the spire, there was a decadent jumping off the building, clearly a heroic and heroic young man overlooking the dynasty.
Of all the news about the Tsing Yi Exam, the most exciting news was the news of these practitioners.
At this moment, ordinary ordinary people can witness a cultivator who participated in the Tsing Yi Examination, which is enough for them to brag for a while in the future.
"Ah, ah, why didn't the old man think that a true and wise person would make a mistake in a thousand thoughts. ”
The old pedant stamped his foot, clenched one hand into a fist, and thrashed it into the palm of the other.
The chatter under the tower was even more intense. Although there are as many monks as many as dogs, and the residents of Yingdu have always been well-informed, there is a great array of imperial cities suppressing it, but it is rare to have the opportunity to see what kind of means the cultivators use.
"You said that you have to practice to what level you can fly to the spire. ”
My eldest son of my uncle's family practiced in Nanyang Temple, and according to him once drunk, he said that the Golden Stone Realm can turn the body into gold and stone, and can also turn gold and stone into feathers, and with a light float, he will reach the roof. ”
"Fart, cultivators are just like you, you can get drunk when you drink!"
Holding a broad knife, like a rough man on an errand in the yamen, he reprimanded loudly, and the people in the official mansion are used to scolding, and their words are rarely ugly.
The person who was refuted seemed to be lying and was exposed on the spot, it was very unnatural, he lowered his head and whispered: "There are also practitioners who drink alcohol and do not practice the exercises......
......
The top of the tower of dozens of zhang is a towering column, which is only a few feet wide, and Xu Feng stands on it.
He looked in the direction of the palace, and although the twilight had darkened, it was still a splendid place, with countless lanterns and torches, and the night was bright, and the soldiers and miscellaneous servants were making their final preparations in an orderly manner.
Xu Feng looked at the north side of the imperial city, where a large area of bright lights dyed the northern sky orange-red, and the mist in the cold night loomed. You don't have to use your mind to hear the bustling voice.
It's just that around the imperial city, the buildings are majestic and tall, even if you stand at the spire of the tower, as far as the eye can see, it is just a haze mixed with a red halo, as if it is not like the world, and there is some strange meaning in the mystery.
The lights are the brightest on the long streets around the ceremonial division.
The Tsing Yi test is not only a symbol of the rise of the national fortunes of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also a vast event for the people. Thousands of businesses have to take the opportunity to prosper, and the most lively of them is, of course, gambling.
Those places that open gambling stalls, compete between the Tiance Mansion and the Taixu Palace, each of them has a background, and there is one or a group of backers, in the palace, in the Daomen, or in a certain cultivation sect.
It is even rumored that there is a Tianzi No. 1 gambling stall in Huizhou Craftsman, which is the Craftsman who presides over the Heaven and Earth Dragon and Tiger List.
The most accurate news in the world is what they have counted, and the pre-opened Tsing Yi test ranking list there is naturally the most concerned.
The night before the Tsing Yi test, Xu Feng stood at the top of the tallest building within a radius of dozens of miles, of course, he didn't come to smoke.
A moment ago, he had sensed that at least ten pairs of eyes were staring at him. Separated by three or five streets and alleys, those vigilant meanings are probably those Taoist priests.
And in the guest room of a restaurant in the west, the gloomy thought was probably a certain elder of Yunmeng Mountain, and further away, there was a sense of loneliness and playfulness, could it be an old friend.
With so many different thoughts, he captured them one by one, Rao is Xu Feng, who has always been calm and composed, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, which is a feeling of extra attention.
All attention comes at a price, and Xu Feng is very clear about this.
He suddenly remembered Ah Cai on the Tianjie Bridge, that vague glance.
There are thousands of people in the world who are against me, Xu Feng, do you want to be one of them? Why! Xu Feng said in his heart.
At this time, a cold wind rose, and Xu Feng raised his head a little higher.
Tonight he deliberately carried the sword on his back, not with it tied to it, nor with it on his shoulder. Because, Xu Feng felt that the hilt of the sword was obliquely exposed from the shoulder, which was very handsome.
Although it was the cold wind of the New Year's season, Xu Feng felt a heat on his face, and he gathered his divine thoughts to his chest, towards the north, towards those thoughts that were secretly watching, and said loudly.
Xu Feng, the head of the avenue, is determined to win! If you are not convinced, you can fight!
Although the sound was not loud, it was like a boulder crashing into the calm lake, rippling into the night sky miles away. The night that was already surging undercurrent, because of this sound, was almost boiling.
