Chapter 3: Descending the Mountain
The whole way was peaceful, except for one or two disciples who came to salute Nanyi, and did not look up to look at Rong Le, Rong Le also lowered her head to death, she knew how much trouble it would bring to the master once she was recognized as a living person's face.
Soon, I walked to the cloud steps, which is the only way down the mountain, a very long step, the steps are made of smooth stone, especially in snow and rainy days, you have to be extra careful when you go down, but every dozen or so there will be a plane as a buffer, and there will be no danger to your life if you fall. This road is said to have a thousand steps, looking down can not see the bottom of the cloud steps, in short, it takes a long, long walk, I heard Yuanyu talk about it, the first assessment of entering the Silver Snow Peak is to walk on this thousand steps, and this simplest assessment also discourages most people.
This is the second time Rong Le has walked this road, when he was four years old, he was carried by Nan Yi and walked through the thousand steps, and he didn't feel difficult, as soon as he walked today, he would fall off if he was not careful, but Rong Le knew that every time he walked down, he was closer to the outside world he dreamed of.
Nan Yi walked as slowly as he could in front, and Rong Le barely followed.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally got to the ground. Yinxue Peak is located in the north of Chang'an, in a large forest on the border with Cangzhou, and the group walked along the forest path for a while before reaching the market. The bazaar was crowded with people dressed in colorful clothes, in stark contrast to the light-colored clothing shops on Yinxue Peak, there were people selling sugar gourds on the street, there were candy people, and there were many new things that Rong Le had never seen before.
She walked around excitedly, living on the leftovers of her neighbors' handouts when she was in the slums, never going to the market, and not knowing what buying was, so she picked up the candy man on the stall and ran away.
So she held her favorite things in front like a child, and Nanyi was busy paying in the back. It was not easy to catch up with Rong Le, spoiled Rong Le's head, and gave Rong Le a bag of heavy things, "This thing is called copper coins, you take other people's things at the cost of the corresponding copper coins, this is called buying, otherwise it will be stolen." ”
After hearing this, Rong Le shrunk her neck, she knew that stealing was not allowed in her master's rules, Nan Yi smiled, "Don't worry, I won't tell your master, just buy whatever you like, remember to give the other party copper coins." ”
……
Tan has experienced a war for more than ten years, but fortunately, the new emperor has lightly retired, rested with the people, and gradually prospered under the leadership of the new emperor, and it is a prosperous world.
In Chang'an City, the streets are bustling, people in colorful and beautiful clothes always have smiles on their faces, and occasionally a few slow carriages or galloping fast horses will break up the crowd, but soon they get together again, talking about the beauty of the young lady in the carriage, and how the young man on the fast horse is uninhibited.
On the most prosperous street, Rongchang Building has an endless stream of tourists staying in the hotel, because the Yinxuefeng election is approaching, the children of the rivers and lakes have come to Chang'an, the room of Rongchang Building is in short supply, the fat and greasy boss personally dispatched, while accompanying the laughter of the guests, while angrily scolding Xiao Er's actions to be a little sharper, and serve the food faster.
In the crowd, a black-clothed girl walked in, wearing a cloak that only showed the lower half of her face, lowered her head to look at the road, and walked into the Rongchang Building, the boss immediately greeted her, and the girl just raised the sword in her hand to block the boss's approaching footsteps, the boss was frightened and yelled, and did not want to let the girl in. Since the opening of Rongchang Building, many people in the rivers and lakes have quarreled, and what has suffered is only innocent tables, chairs and meals, and the gains outweigh the losses, but because they are timid, they dare not provoke the people in front of them, so they can only stomp their feet and "hey" to greet other guests.
