Chapter Eighty-Seven: Purple Willow City [Happy Birthday to the Motherland]
Early the next morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Old shopkeeper, I'll quit now. ”
After going downstairs, Yun Fangjing saw the old shopkeeper, sitting at the counter and looking out the door. At this time, the broken tables and chairs in the store have also been neatly received.
"Be careful all the way. ”
At this time, the old man didn't have much to say.
"But before I go, I still have to ask, where is the boss of those people now?" Yun Fangjing said this, and as soon as these words came out, the old shopkeeper's expression began to rise.
After a while, the old man finally let out a long sigh and said, "Seven months ago, he came here, and he has been staying in the Purple Willow City in the north, a place called the Smoke Pavilion. ”
At this point, he paused for a moment, and then added: "Young man, that person is still from the Lingxu Sect, and he does what he can, if it doesn't work, it's better to leave early." ”
After calmly listening to the old man's words, Yun Fangjing smiled lightly and showed a very natural appearance: "Thank you for the reminder from the old shopkeeper, I will do what I can." ”
With that, he took his eyes off the old man's body and fell on the scene outside the shop, and after a little rest, his steps did not hesitate to step in the direction of the door.
He left quietly, and the old man was left in the shop.
And the old man waited until Yun Fangjing's figure outside the door completely disappeared in his eyes, and then he let out a long sigh, and a trace of emotion flowed in his cloudy old eyes, and at the same time, he silently recorded the words, deeds and appearance of this young man in his heart.
Although he understands that he has lived a poor and lowly life, he will not be able to leave this town, but if he has the opportunity to meet this young man, he will definitely be rewarded at that time.
If it weren't for this young man, he probably wouldn't even be able to see the rising sun this morning.
After a long time, he sat back at the counter, and the whole inn was silent again, but after a moment, the old man suddenly raised his head and sighed.
"I'm so old and confused, I didn't even ask Eun Gong's name. ”
......
After leaving the town, Yun Fangjing walked all the way along the official road in the north-south direction.
There is already dust on this official road, and although no one can clean this kind of wilderness, there will be no dust visible to the naked eye when there are cars and horses passing by. It seems that Purple Willow City has basically abandoned this town.
It's no wonder that the town has been looted by that group of domineering bullies for a long time, and no one has taken control of it.
In the territory of Chu State, all big cities are sent by the royal family to sit in the strong, and they are the city lords. And if it is a medium-sized city or even a smaller city like Linyue City, it is basically controlled by local forces, so sometimes it will form a situation where one is dominant.
Leaving early in the morning, it was noon in Moyo, and Yun Fangjing had already seen the location of Ziliu City in the distance.
Beyond the city, which stretched for nearly two miles, official roads crisscrossed in all directions, and at last all men converged under its gates. At noon, there were already a large number of horses, carts and pedestrians walking outside the city, as if they were prosperous.
Yun Fangjing is close to Ziliu City, and gradually walked into the crowd, his eyes swept around the city, there are city walls that stretch for dozens of miles and are as high as more than ten zhang, and the huge city gate in the middle is eight zhang wide and ten zhang high, and upwards is the huge stone carved city plaque 'Ziliu City'.
On the city wall, a guard looks out every ten steps, and it stretches outward along the city wall. Below, although there are many pedestrians, they all have solemn faces, presumably under the solemn deterrence of this Purple Willow City, and they dare not act recklessly.
With the crowd, Yun Fangjing finally walked into Purple Willow City.
And inside and outside the city, there is still a lot of contrast. The roads in Ziliu City are crisscrossed, the houses are like a market, and almost all of them are bustling as far as the eye can see, and the crowded places are full of people.
After walking into a distance, in the cover of countless houses, Yun Fangjing could vaguely see in the distance, Moyo was located north of the city, there was a finely crafted pavilion, richly decorated and a little peachy. It seems out of place with the simple houses around it, but it adds an extraordinary charm to the city.
After his eyes locked, his pace couldn't help but quicken, pacing in that direction among the crowd in the city.
With the strength of his feet, Mo Youshi approached the pavilion after nearly two quarters of an hour.
Around this pavilion is a large lake, reflecting the blue of the sky, but it looks crystalline. The pavilion is built in the middle of this big lake, and the pavilion gradually rises from the outside to the inside, and its top is connected by a suspension bridge, as if it is a huge flower bone blooming in this big lake.
And the three words 'Ruyan Pavilion' are also written on a pavilion in the middle of the direction facing Yun Fangjing. If there were no sheltered buildings in the city, even if Yun Fangjing was standing in the south of the city, he could still see the three big characters in the north of the city.
On the shore of the lake, connected to the smoke pavilion, there is only this iron chain bridge in front of Yun Fangjing, which is about five zhang wide, and there are not many pedestrians on it compared to other places in the city, but there are still twenty or thirty people coming and going.
Of course, all men.
Every man who comes out of it is a spring breeze that looks proud.
Yun Fangjing bundled his clothes, and his footsteps were stepping on this chain bridge.
"Boy, you're not going to move your lust, are you?"
At this moment, the demon dragon that had been crawling in the clothes on his chest opened his mouth, but its opening voice was directly facing Yun Fangjing's heart, so it was impossible for anyone else around to hear it.
The corners of Yun Fangjing's mouth twitched, but whether he said it or not, this kind of thing didn't seem to be appropriate.
Therefore, he did not reply.
After walking through this section of the iron chain bridge, which is about 100 zhang long, near the end, Yun Fangjing's eyes converged on the gate of the pavilion that was like a smoke pavilion.
Outside the door, stood two guards, dressed in armor and solemn, standing like two sculptures. Moreover, at this moment, Yun Fangjing was less than ten zhang away from the two of them, but he couldn't see through their cultivation at all, but the only thing that was certain was that they were far stronger than themselves.
After leaning on it, Yun Fangjing's face couldn't help but lower a little, and his eyes glanced at the long sword behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
However, when he actually walked past the two guards, he was not stopped because of the long sword.
This must not be because these two guards are really just statues, I am afraid, because Ruyan Pavilion will not be afraid of anyone who enters it with weapons.
And this kind of ignorance, invisibly, gives people an incomparably fierce deterrent.
