As we get closer and closer to the city at the end of the year, there are more and more strange orchids on the side of the road, like small grass, growing unrestrained.

Bai Qingqian almost immediately fell in love with this place, she grew up in Anhe Shendu, and the environment there was also a first-class chic in the mainland, a standard Jiangnan water town; Then I went to the mirage of the coast and began to get used to the saltiness that never lingered in the air.

But it was the first time she had encountered a place like Shangyu, which had both the delicacy of the south and the pride of the north, perfectly blended together, giving people a very special feeling.

Climate, Environment..... Including the obviously different mood she had when she came here, as well as the strange orchid she saw for the first time in her life, as if it was herself.

The carriage drove all the way into the city, which is not exactly a city, because of the special nature of the hilly area, it is difficult to gather the buildings together, but it is built on the mountain, which looks like a combination of several large towns.

"At the end of the year, there are nine towns, namely Morning Glory Town, Gentian Town, Horseshoe Town, Cang'er Town, Peacock Town, Goose Paw Town, Herald Town, Lingjian Town, and Dendrobium Town, I don't know which town the two guest officials are going to?"

The two of them really haven't considered this question yet, after all, they are also newcomers, "Uncle Zhang, do you have a recommendation?" It's the first time we've come."

Uncle Zhang smiled innocently, "At the end of the year, the nine towns are actually named after flowers, which have remained unchanged for thousands of years, and these nine towns represent the most prestigious flowers in the town in turn, namely the three-color petunia, blue jade gentian, calla lily, cangshan saxifrage, imperial crown peacock sunflower, goosefoot buckwheat, Linzhi primrose, Lingjian camellia, and butterfly dendrobium.

On the whole, the architecture is similar, the eating habits are similar, and the character culture is the same root, so the guests ask me to help you choose, then it's really hard for me, the key is, see what flowers you like?"

Bai Qingqian thought for a moment, "There is no Shilan Town? Didn't you say that the orchid is the national flower here?"

The coachman, Lao Zhang, was asked and touched his head, "There are probably strange stone orchids everywhere, so it's not weird?" Hou Yu smiled and held the woman's hand, "Then take a walk around several towns, I don't think the city is big at the end of this year, I can walk through it soon, and then look at the feeling, see which town has the most strange stone orchids, you like it the most, let's stay there."

gave enough fare, and watched Uncle Zhang leave happily, and the two began to wander hand in hand in the nine towns at the end of the year; It was also tiring for ordinary mortals to rely purely on their feet, after all, the Nine Towns were all built on the hills, but none of this was a problem for them.

They walk slowly, because they have become accustomed to the slow pace over the months, and in this slowness they can also discover another side of their lives, the side that they often overlook.

One town a day, just wander the streets and alleys, and like all other tourists, there is nothing special about it. Hou Yu found that there were also many cultivators here, and few of them flew around in the sky, and they were all walking in the middle of the streets like them.

Bai Qingqian also discovered this situation, "There are many cultivators, some who practice at home, some who rent houses for short-term stays, and some who stay in guest houses in a hurry, just like us."

Hou Yu found out more, but he cautiously didn't say it, for fear that the woman would worry.

That is, he found that the monks who came here were very strong, mainly in the three realms of Tongtian, and the Taoism was mixed, covering almost all aspects of the continent, not only Daomen, but also Buddhism, Demon Gates, Side Gates, and unknown small schools. He has been to many places, such as Lizhihai, the Northwest Desert, and there are also many places where monks of different Taoist traditions are mixed, but the level of strength is not comparable to here, as if they are the elite of the elite.

What's even more strange is that all the monks he saw wandering around the streets and alleys had a smile on their faces and a peaceful breath, but they didn't have the same aura as in other places, as if they had to divide their hands into high and low points if they didn't agree with each other. Is it the environment here that has changed people, or have people come here for another purpose?

Bai Qingqian's feeling was much slower than his, but no matter how dull it was, he was faintly uneasy a few days later.

"Hou Lang, is there something going to be held here? How do I feel that there are a bit of unreasonable cultivators, and all of them are gentle and polite...... And you, also restrain a little, since all those who come are fine

Ying, then I'm afraid this *** level can't be low, you don't want to cause trouble, spoil the atmosphere here, and then damage the flowers and plants here."

Hou Yu was a little speechless, "Lady, am I that kind of person? Recently, I'm about to become the little prince of Jinxiu Continent; I don't necessarily have anything to say, but I probably know the origin of these monks, and they are probably all true disciples of various Taoist systems on the mainland, right?"

Bai Qing pale for a moment, "What's the matter, why are you all here?"

Hou Yu sighed, "Because there are two less in the true legends of the twelve constellations, since there are vacant seats, Shangyu Tianxin Pavilion is the biggest party that determines the ranking of the true legends of the constellations, of course the true legends from all walks of life who have ideas will come here to take a turn and show their heads, and they can't be forgotten, right?"

Bai Qingqian's heart tightened, and he regretted it a little, "Hou Lang, I know you..... Shouldn't we be here? Will you be able to act to win?"

Hou Yu shrugged her shoulders and comforted her, "No, Shangyu Tianxin Pavilion is not so shallow; In other words, if you had relied on your ability to create a true biography of a constellation, you would have been a constellation a long time ago, and you wouldn't have farted until now?"

Bai Qingqian was still not very reassured, "What if the rules change this time? Didn't you also say that this opportunity is the best opportunity before the great change of heaven and earth? Heaven and earth can be broken, what other rules must be kept? 「

Hou Yu smiled, "Don't worry, I won't be in such a limelight here, they are qualified, because they themselves are true inheritances, I don't even have qualifications, and besides, do you think Tianxin Pavilion really cares about this?"

"And what do they care?" Bai Qingqian does not give up.

Hou Yu sighed, "I don't know, in fact, no one knows the rules they picked, so they can't work in that direction; But I think this is the best, otherwise the atmosphere of the cultivation realm will be affected, and cultivation is for the sake of cultivation?"

Bai Qingqian was a little relieved, but it was impossible not to care at all, Hou Yu knew her mind and held her hand,

"I said that I came out this time to accompany you, and then find two places to deepen my Five Elements ability, and I did what I said; In Shangyu, I'm just a tourist who accompanies my wife to enjoy the mountains and rivers, those people have nothing to do with me, we came here purely by chance, or, you won't want to leave now, right? 「
