Chapter 14: The Bronze Sparrow Turmoil
In less than an hour, the Xuanyuan Golden Flower Drill drilled the outline of a portal on the boulder, and then Wu Lishen took off the Xuanyuan Golden Flower Diamond, and slammed his palm towards the rock in the outline of the portal, and suddenly a stone cave on both sides of the ghost boulder appeared.
After a while, Wu Lishen smiled and said: "Okay, the boulder has been drilled through, we must now immediately build a stone gate and install a mechanism to open the door, so that at night, the hurricane outside the valley will not be able to blow into the valley, and the environment in the valley will naturally not be affected." ”
In less than half a day's effort, a stone door was installed in the stone cave on the huge rock, and a stone tablet was erected in front of the door, which was impressively engraved with three gilded characters of "Happy Valley".
Due to the approaching deadline of the Huacheng Student Friendship Conference, the ghosts should not stay longer, so they said goodbye to the Fu brothers and sisters the next day, went out of the Ghost Valley, and went straight to Huacheng.
Fu Hongying looked at the back of the ghost side and their distant figures, with affection, reluctantly, and stood for a long time without leaving.
After walking for another half a day, I finally came to the foot of the flower city.
Before entering the city, I suddenly heard the noise of people in front of me, and saw a large number of people around the city gate, and I didn't know what I was looking at. The ghost side of their curiosity, into the crowd to look, only to see a piece of paper hanging high, it reads: "On the occasion of the celebration of the work conference, and on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Mr. Ouyang Invincible, the opportunity is rare, God blesses it, it is a great blessing for the backward in the Tiangong world, so the student friendship meeting was changed to the celebration meeting, and on March 15, a grand celebration was held in the Tiangong Villa of Huacheng Mountain." If there is any inconvenience, there is no wonder. Huacheng Tiangongyuan, March 5, 17th year of Shengde. "Look at this payment, this list has been written for some time, but Xingluobar Village is located in the middle of nowhere, and the ghost side is trapped in Ghost Valley, so it is not surprising that they don't know this change.
Entering the city, pedestrians are bustling, very prosperous, and there is a different scenery than the city of Wudu. Huacheng is second only to the capital city of the Zhongtian Empire, and it can be regarded as the second prosperous place in the Southern Underworld Continent at that time, even the capital of the Luo Tian Empire Tiandu City and the capital of the Qingtian Empire, Xiaokang City, are also inferior. Except for the ghost side who has been to Wufu City a few times, the students grew up in the countryside, where have they seen such a weather? I saw on both sides of the street, the red mansion painting pavilion, the embroidered household Zhumen, and the tall cabinet and huge shop, full of strange goods and foreign objects; the tea shop and wine shop, but I saw the gorgeous clothes and beads. I also saw the pedestrians in the market, shoulder to shoulder, the river flowed endlessly, there were carved chariots competing for station, horses galloping, it can be said that the road was full of flowers, and the drums were noisy; Traveled again, suddenly a large-scale wooden arch bridge came into view, the structure is exquisite, the form is beautiful, because the shape is like a flying rainbow, so it is called Hongqiao. Under the bridge, the boats in the river are constantly coming and going, end to end, or the slender man pulls, or the boatman rocks the oar, some are full of goods, going upstream, some light boats are simple goods, and they are speeding downstream, and some are berthing at the shore and unloading goods nervously. It's a vibrant, thriving scene. Mr. Wu and his entourage walked in this downtown area, which was particularly conspicuous. Except for Mr. Wu, who was listless and tired, the students were all radiant and happy, looking around and stopping, only dazzled by their group of teenagers who had never seen the world before. They had never been to such a big city, but they saw everything new. Nine out of ten things I saw did not know what they were.
The students are nostalgic for a scene and a thing in the downtown of Huacheng, looking left and right, walking slowly, Mr. Wu urged several times, only to come to a small and not small, antique inn in front of the golden signboard, the golden sign reads "Qinxiangju Inn" five big characters, the following horizontal book "provide accommodation" four small characters. The name is a bit elegant.
Mr. Wu said: "The celebration meeting was held three days later, and we were very tired after traveling for most of the day, so let's rest here before the conference." ”
The students answered, and followed Mr. Wu into the store. I saw that the store was full of people, and looking at the appearance, most of them were students from Tiangongyuan who came from all over the world to participate in the celebration meeting. At this time, a kind-looking and articulate shopkeeper suddenly flashed out of the store, and greeted us loudly: "Guest officer, are you going to stay in the hotel?" Mr. Wu replied: "Stay in the hotel!" The shopkeeper said three times in a row, "Please" and led us in. After a while, when everything had been arranged, Mr. Wu found a seat under the beckoning of the shopkeeper, and the students also sat together. Mr. Wu asked for a bowl of Tianxiang beef noodles for each person. The shopkeeper didn't hesitate, and shouted loudly inside, "Twenty bowls of Tianxiang beef noodles!" After a while, a thin and dexterous shopkeeper served a bowl of noodles to everyone.
Everyone was eating noodles with a good taste, and suddenly someone said: "The scene of this celebration meeting is really not small, and there are still three days before the first day, and the flower city is already crowded with students from all over the Tiangong Garden! It's really not lively! It's just that the restaurants and restaurants in this flower city are also full early, and we have no money to use, and we can't even find a better place to eat and drink." Alas, I have to stop here. His voice was loud and easy to draw attention to, but there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
When everyone looked up, they saw a young man sitting on the seat by the window, with a wide robe and a face like a crown of jade, very chic.
A burly black-faced man next to him smiled and seemed to be very respectful to the young man, and said, "That's natural." The centennial Huacheng Celebration Conference has been held for several sessions, and its reputation is far and wide, and it is ...... old man's eyes suddenly brightened, and he snorted heavily, as if there was a taboo. The man hurriedly changed his words and said, "What's the situation...... It is said that he is the grandson of Ouyang Wuming, the descendant of the descendant of Tianjizi, who exterminated the evil emperor's spirit, and the heavenly craftsmanship is exquisite, ancient and modern, and even the Emperor Zhongtian has to respect him for three points. It's just that he doesn't have a longevity, he doesn't accept apprentices, and he doesn't involve the world, so he doesn't have this friendship. The craftsmen took advantage of this celebration meeting to give Mr. Ouyang a birthday, but Mr. Ouyang avoided it, so he had to agree. I see that the day after tomorrow, there is still a lively scene in the flower city!" The young man was sitting upright, gently waving the Eight Immortals Birthday Folding Fan in his hand, his face full of pride, as if the black-faced man was talking about him.
After a while, the man leaned into the young man's ear, behaved obscenely, looked treacherous, and whispered: "Childe, I heard that there are a few new chicks in Tongque Tower, and they look very cute, so ......they are not as good as us" The young man tapped the man's forehead with a folding fan, smiled, and said seriously: "As far as your little caution, I can't see it, haha! You, if you don't go there for three days, you can't sit still." Harazi has stayed, and he has embarrassed me!"
Lei Zi, who was sitting next to him, heard all this, looked dazed, and muttered to himself: "Where is this Bronze Bird Tower?" Dunzi smiled and said, "Looking at that man so obsessed, that Bronze Bird Tower must be an excellent place to go." When Xiaohu heard the words "good place", he could no longer hold back the curiosity and excitement in his heart, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "What is a good place to go? What is a good place to go? Let's go and have a look, okay?" At this time, Mr. Wu seemed to notice something, snapped, put the bamboo chopsticks on the table suddenly, his face was gloomy, and said sharply: "What are you talking about, can't you stop your mouth with such fragrant beef noodles?" If you don't want to eat, go to the guest room to rest first. Xiaohu pursed his lips, kept silent, and ate noodles quietly.
After Mr. Wu and the others finished eating, Lei Zi, Xiaohu and Dunzi came to this prosperous flower city for the first time, and couldn't help but be curious again, and with the consent of Mr. Wu, they called Ghost Fang and Cai'er to go shopping around the lively flower city streets.
The ghost party couldn't wait to rush out of the door, all of them dancing happily, smiling, like five deer with joy, playing wildly. On both sides of the avenue, the vendors put out a dazzling array of goods, shouting incessantly, and the voices of people were full of excitement. Suddenly, Cai'er saw a vendor with dazzling and dazzling jewelry in front of her, and she was curious and ran to the vendor. Before Cai'er could speak, the vendor rushed and said, "Little girl, little girl, come and see, this cloud phoenix pattern golden hairpin must be suitable for you!"
Cai'er ignored the vendor, and chose each piece of jewelry, looking at it over and over again, with a look of great joy in her eyes. Suddenly, Cai'er saw a green jade bracelet, clear and flawless, crystal clear. The vendor was overjoyed to see that Cai'er loved the bracelet, and began to talk about the beauty of the bracelet. Cai'er hesitated for a while, and asked softly, "Uncle, how much is this?" The vendor blurted out: "Five pieces." "Although this bracelet is very cheap, it is still a sky-high price for Cai'er. She reached out and touched it in her pocket for a long time, and it was still that one piece of money, which was the only little money in the family, and her mother-in-law gave her pocket money. After a while, the vendor was a little annoyed, and said coldly: "Little girl, if you don't buy it, go to the side if you don't buy it, don't affect my business." At this time, Dunzi not far in front shouted: "Oops! Why are you so slow, come quickly, there are still many beautiful things ahead!"
They wandered around, turned a corner, and walked to the end of the street, where they suddenly saw the boss standing in the street with a magnificent palace-like building, and the golden glazed tiles shining dazzlingly in the sunlight. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer door hangs the red gold silk nanmu plaque, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances on the inscription of three big characters "Tongque Building", only to hear the noise of people inside, the sound of cheers is endless, and from time to time bursts of wine and meat smell erupt from the restaurant.
