Chapter Seventy-Five: The County Lord's Mansion
The ancestral home of the Tang family.
Last night, heavy snow fell in Daimyo County at the end of the year, and this heavy snow that befell Daimyo County at the end of the year has transformed this centuries-old city into a world covered in snow.
In the courtyard of Tang Shi, the snow is half a foot deep, and the flowers and trees are covered with snow-white, which is quite spectacular.
The morning sun climbed into the courtyard through the courtyard wall, sprinkled on the footless snow, the crystal reflection dazzling the eye, refracted to the wall on the other side, the light and shadow were mottled like fine star shadows.
Suddenly, a wave came from inside the house, and soon after, with a squeak, the door of the house was opened from the inside, and Tang Shi walked out of the house.
"Whew!"
Tang Shi took a deep breath, and the cold wind drilled straight into his throat, making him shiver.
As far as the eye can see, three or two birds are playing in the trees in the courtyard, sometimes flying and sometimes pecking, and the quiet courtyard is all because of their existence, which is a little more lively.
Yesterday afternoon, the curtain came down on the county competition, and the final ranking was determined.
Tang Shi won the first place steadily, Li Yuancheng followed closely in second place, and Li Yu, who was supposed to be third, was invalidated because of Li Chongming's unauthorized move, and Tang Xuanling was replaced as the fourth order.
After the end of the county, Tang Shi also returned to the Tang family, refused the invitation and banquet from the Tang family, hid in his own cultivation room alone, and devoted himself to studying.
Above the county comparison, he already felt some signs of a breakthrough, but after cultivating all night, he didn't break through, so he had no choice but to give up, or when the water came to fruition, he would naturally be able to break through.
"Breakthrough?" Yan Xiuqing's voice sounded in the empty courtyard, and then a transparent faint figure appeared in the air, as if a goddess had descended, and the entire courtyard was bright.
"I want to!" Tang Shi didn't hide it, it's not a secret, if there was anything to hide from Yan Xiuqing, he wouldn't have taken the scroll with him in the first place.
"I really don't understand how you cultivate, fifteen-year-old Juyuan Realm, I'm afraid you can break through to the middle stage before the end of the year, such a talent is rare even before the thousand years of martial arts flourishing!"
Yan Xiuqing's gaze at Tang Shi was quite complicated, she didn't expect that any teenager she met would be so talented, and Tang Shi seemed to have countless secrets, she was secretly glad that she didn't forcibly give it up at the beginning.
"Was martial arts flourishing thousands of years ago?" Tang Shi asked casually, but he continued to talk to himself, "If you talk about the prosperity of martial arts, maybe ten thousand years ago was the peak of this era!"
"Cut, it's as if you've seen the pomp and circumstance of 10,000 years ago!"
Yan Xiuqing was a little unconvinced, the era in which she grew up, even if it was not the peak of martial arts, was also a magnificent era, otherwise there would not have been a rebellion in the Biandong Sect.
"By the way, a guard has come and left a message at the door!" Yan Xiuqing seemed to think of something, pointed to the courtyard door and said.
"Oh, but I earned it, and there is such a beautiful thousand-year-old female ghost to guard the door for me. Tang Shi laughed, causing Yan Xiuqing to roll her eyes for a while, and ignored him and went back directly.
Stretching, Tang Shi looked at the letterhead on the ground at the door, which was a paper dedicated to recording information, if there was any notice, the guard who delivered the message would write at the door, and then throw it into the courtyard door.
Tang Shi picked up the letterhead and looked at it for a long time, and then went out of the hospital directly.
When Tang Shi arrived at the county lord's mansion, it was already close to noon, but the lazy sun hid in the clouds, and it seemed that there would be snow in the afternoon.
The gate of the county lord's mansion was wide open, and a group of guards led the people who kept coming to visit, and when Tang Shi appeared, many people recognized it, and then countless exclamations sounded.
"That's Tang Shi, right?" someone exclaimed.
"He's Tang Shi, he's so young, I'm afraid he's not even eighteen years old!" a woman exclaimed.
"Genius! It is said that Tang Shi is only fifteen years old, but he is a perfect cultivator in the early stage of the Juyuan Realm, and he has never been invincible in the same level!"
"This son should be a rare genius in my Tianchi country for a hundred years, and maybe he will be the leading existence in China in the near future!" That's the older people sighing.
In the midst of everyone's discussions, Tang Shi followed a guard into the county lord's mansion.
The area of the county lord's mansion is not large, less than half the size of the state lord's mansion in Nagu Pingzhou, but the transformation is quite exquisite.
It can be seen that the county lord Lin Sheng is also an extremely elegant person, and the railings of the pavilions, pavilions, corridors, and altars all have a trace of grace and luxury.
Lin Sheng came to Daimyo County more than ten years ago to be the county lord, and at that time, there were more than 100 people to follow, but at this time, the total population of the county lord's mansion should be more than 2,000, but the real Lin family lineage, I am afraid that there are only more than 100 people.
Through the many corridors, Tang Shi was taken to a rather magnificent garden.
Even though it was already a snow-covered winter day outside, the garden was full of life, with a patchwork of plants of all colors, and a large array of clouds in the sky, blocking the howling cold wind, and the garden was full of aura.
If it is the first time to enter this place, you will inevitably take a few more breaths, just like an addict to smoke grass cigarettes, and the pure spiritual energy from all kinds of spiritual plants will enter the body, which is quite comfortable.
It would take at least ten years to build such a luxurious garden, and the amount of financial and material resources spent would be astronomical.
However, Tang Shi was not too surprised, this kind of handwriting was in his eyes, but Erer.
The garden is quite large, divided into several layers, all of which are divided by various spiritual plants, and Tang Shi has just entered the gate of the garden at this time.
"Tang Shi!"
Someone noticed Tang Shi at the gate of the garden and shouted excitedly, so everyone's eyes looked at the entrance of the garden.
A young man in the crowd suddenly walked over from not far away, and Tang Shi recognized him, he was Lin Tong, the commander of the guards beside Lin Sheng, the county lord that day.
"Tang Gongzi, you have finally arrived, please come with me, the feast is about to begin!"
Lin Tong is neither humble nor arrogant, stretching out his hand to lead him falsely, and he wants to take Tang Shi to the depths.
This Lin Tong is only in his twenties, but he already has the strength of Juyuan Realm, and Tang Shi has not seen his shot, so he is not clear about his strength.
However, if he can be the commander of the guards, his strength must not be too bad, and he is the close guard of the county lord Lin Sheng, so he will be present on most occasions, and he is also a popular person in front of the county lord.
Crossing a few fields separated by spirit trees, Tang Shi saw two stout Tianqiong trees, but the year was obviously only twenty or thirty years old, standing quietly on the lawn.
Under the tree, several tables of banquets have been set up, and all the delicacies on the tables have been arranged, and the pretty maids stand respectfully on the side.
