Chapter 332 Phoenix Ancient City (Ask for a subscription and ask for a monthly pass)
A group of three people and a cat put the carriage in the courtyard and went to the restaurant in the center of the town, Wutong Pavilion.
At a glance, you can see that this name is based on Phoenix City, Fengqi Wutong.
The name is magnificent, the scale is not small, it is a three-story building with a brick and wood structure, the decoration is also very atmospheric, and the carvings in the hall and private rooms are all legends here.
They chose a private room on the second floor, and it was just about eight o'clock, and there were still many people eating in the hall on the first floor.
They don't want to hear any news, and if there are too many people, if someone comes to assassinate them, it is easy to implicate innocents, and it is not easy to guard against them.
While waiting for the dishes, she studied the carvings and calligraphy and paintings in the private room, and watched it with relish.
Zhao Rixin didn't think it was new because he had been here, and he also helped her explain some of the details, which he heard from the officials who entertained him when he first came.
When she heard him talk about the nail Fengjing, Qian Yan became even more interested.
She had also heard this legend in later generations on the other side of her own world, and she had also seen it, and the well still existed after thousands of years.
Legend has it that because of the phoenix that often appears in Chenliu, it has brought good luck to Chenliu here.
When Confucius passed by this place, he was also shocked by the supernatural here, and exclaimed "I regret not to be born in Si".
However, when a very bad southerner passed by here, he was jealous of the good feng shui here, so he made the bad one in the east and west south directions here, shaped like the head and two wings of a phoenix, and each made a deep well, which was called the nail Fengjing.
At this point, Chen Liu's feng shui was completely destroyed, and his fortune was worse day by day, and the phoenix that was nailed later became a chicken, so Chen Liu could only be a chef, and they were all chickens who did very well.
Legend has it that in order to restore the feng shui in this place, the people of the town need to worship for three days, and then fill the nail phoenix well with white flour, so that the feng shui can be restored, and Chen Liu can appear as a high-ranking official again.
But let's not say that this trick is not effective, just say that the three wells are bottomless, and it is not easy to fill them.
There is also the fact that the water of the three wells is sweet and sweet, and the people who live nearby like it very much, and the current Chen Liuren neither believes in the legend, nor does he care whether there will be another big official, and he just wants to live a good life.
These legends are just a joke after dinner.
Qian Yan also felt that that method was not very reliable, even if she worshipped sincerely, it was nonsense to fill the well with white flour.
How can this kind of thing of wasting money and wasting food be a good thing, as soon as you hear it, you will know that it is made up by people.
As for the existence of the phoenix, she believes that after all, there are two ancient beasts in their family, as well as Xuanniao, Gale, Moon Night Wolf, and Xunfeng Leopard, shouldn't this be a legendary existence, and it hasn't appeared yet.
But whether it should be said or not, this old chicken is really delicious, and the kitchen officials can't touch it now, so this Wutong Pavilion's chicken is a must.
Because Zhao Rixin has been here, he should still remember the food when he was entertained last time, and he ordered the signature dishes here.
Among them are three dishes made of chicken, a boy chicken, a roast chicken, and a jade chicken soup.
The taste is very good, listen to Xiao Er's introduction, they are all made of chickens raised by local farmers, only the chickens here can make this taste, and they can't be made in other places, it should be related to the water and soil here.
After eating, they walked slowly back to the backyard of the yamen to rest, and they were quite tired and nervous along the way.
They had already made their beds before leaving, so they were ready to sleep with a little washing when they came back.
This courtyard is not only for them, but there is also a row of houses in the front row, in which are inhabited by officials who are responsible for patrolling the town, so there are people to clean up and take care of it.
In addition to the well, there is also a kitchen in the yard, and hot water is always available.
Because the officials were on patrol in shifts, they would also go out to patrol twice in the evening, and the time of return was uncertain, and the kitchen was almost always equipped with hot water, especially in winter.
Because they walked back after eating, the three of them were almost exhausted, and Qian Yan lay on the bed and almost fell asleep in seconds.
But soon she was woken up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the ugliness, and felt that she had only slept for a long time, so she was woken up by it, and hugged it and rubbed it angrily.
Chouhou knew that she hadn't slept enough, so she let her rub it and didn't resist.
When Qian Yan came to her senses completely, she found that she was already in bed in the ugly space room.
He sat up, looked down at the ugly and asked, "When did you catch up?" Is it fun to go shopping today? Aren't you tired? Why didn't you rest early and get me in the middle of the night? ”
Chouhou got out of her arms, sat aside, and then replied: "I had a lot of fun shopping today, I went shopping with Huang Xiaowu all day, and I visited the entire market, and I also visited the shops in Dongcheng."
Huang Xiaowu visited the capital for the first time in an open manner, and he was very excited, almost all the places he could go to outside the capital went to see it, and he also bought a lot of things, and it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening when he chased over.
It couldn't keep up with me, so I put it right in the space, and I ran over on my own, and it took less than an hour to get there. ”
Qian Yan nodded, the speed of the ugly and ugly can be compared to the cars of later generations, of course, it is not a car with a high speed, it is still a little slower than that, after all, it is more than 30 kilometers away from the capital, according to the speed of the car in later generations, you can go out 100 kilometers in an hour at the high speed.
Then I asked why I got her into the space in the middle of the night, and I couldn't talk about it tomorrow.
Ugly usually doesn't do this kind of thing, and there is nothing urgent that won't disturb her rest.
Chou nodded and replied: "There must be something, I am also here Chen Liu, who was called in by Xuanniao."
Originally, after I arrived here, I wanted to sleep outside with you, but Xuanniao made a lot of noise and called me in. ”
Qian Yan asked with some curiosity, "What's wrong with it?" Haven't you been in retreat? ”
Since that time to strengthen the formation of the empty string Dao people, Xuanniao has retreated to absorb the demon pill, but I didn't expect it to pour out here, it seems that it has been absorbed.
I don't know what it discovered, so that Chou Chou was in such a hurry to call her in, and then she suddenly thought of where this was, and she had a little guess.
"Ugly, is it about the phoenix that it called you in?"
Ugly's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "How do you know?" I haven't told you yet. ”
Qian Yan smiled and said: "It's not a coincidence, I just heard about Phoenix City today, and I was wondering if there was really a phoenix here, and then whether the nail phoenix well really nailed the phoenix."
And the Xuanniao guy belongs to the bird monster, if this place really has something to do with the phoenix, it will definitely have a sense, so I naturally guessed in this direction. ”
Chou Chou nodded, "You guessed right, what I want to say is about the phoenix, Xuanniao told me that it feels that the fire aura here is very sufficient, and it is very suitable for its cultivation."
And I also felt a very close atmosphere, if we can, let us help it find it, there should be phoenix true blood nearby, or something from the descendants of the phoenix clan.
If it can absorb it, it may be able to be reborn from the fire, unlike it is now in a soul state. ”
Hearing this, her eyes lit up, she liked this kind of treasure hunt the most, immediately put on her clothes and shoes, picked up the ugliness and walked out.
"Let's go and ask the Xuanniao to see if it can sense where that thing is."
Chou Chou hurriedly tugged at her clothes and said, "Wait, wait, you don't have to go out, the Xuanniao Soul Bead is on the table." ”
Qian Yan stopped, smiled awkwardly at the ugly ugly, and turned her head to look at the black bead on the table, isn't it the soul bead of the Xuanniao.
The black beads spun around and rolled to the other side, to express their displeasure by moving away from her.
Qian Yan hurriedly stepped forward and coaxed: "Oh, it turns out that you are here, I didn't pay attention, patronizing and talking to the ugly."
Don't be angry, let's talk about what the hell is going on, do you know where that thing is? Let's take advantage of the fact that we're still here today, and hurry up and look for it, and we'll have to leave town tomorrow, and then we'll have to wait for us to leave. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, a somewhat hoarse man's voice appeared in her head.
Qian Yan was startled at first, and then quickly reacted that this was Xuan Niao communicating with her.
It seems that after absorbing those demon pills this time, it is indeed a lot more powerful, and it can only talk to Ugly Ugly before, but now it can talk to her.
I only heard the voice and said: "Maybe it's because I'm in the space, and I feel a little weak, but it should be around here, otherwise I can't feel it in the space."
It's just that it can't be put on the surface, it must be hidden somewhere, and it may not be able to be found for a while, if you are in a hurry, we might as well make a special trip to find it later, and the province will make a move and be taken by others first.
Now I can't determine the location for a while, it's best to take me out and feel it again, and wait for XZ to come back next time. ”
Qian Yan nodded, and asked Chou Chou to take out the necklace inlaid with soul beads before, and the soul beads saw that the necklace was directly suspended in the air and landed on the necklace.
The bayonet in this inlay is alive, and she thought that she might take it off at any time, so she asked the craftsman to make it alive.
I have to say that there are still many skilled craftsmen in ancient times, especially these jewelry, which are not worse than those of later generations, or even better.
Tilt Yan put the necklace around her neck and said to Chouchou: "Then you send me out, I'll take it outside and let it feel where the things are."
I really can't see if I can look elsewhere when I leave tomorrow, anyway, I have to have breakfast tomorrow morning before leaving. ”
Chou Chou nodded, and went out of the space with her, it just chased over for a long time, and after a whole day of shopping in the capital, it was very tired, I didn't see Huang Xiaowu go to sleep early.
It simply came out to sleep with Tilt Yan, and the fire kang burning in this room was quite warm.
Qian Yan felt that the Xuanniao Soul Bead moved as soon as it came out, and it seemed that she had sensed it, and also, she could feel the breath of that thing in the space, indicating that the breath should not be weak, and it would only feel stronger when she got out of the space.
After that, there was a sudden flash of red light in the house, and the speed was very fast, if it wasn't for Qian Yan being in the house, and she was still paying attention, she couldn't see it.
At the same time, the place where the soul bead was worn felt a trace of burning through the clothes, and then its voice sounded in his head: "Take me off the necklace, I feel the direction, go over and look for it, if I can find the location tonight, I will come back to find you and get it." ”
As she said, she took it off the necklace, and just as she wanted to get up, the beads disappeared directly.
Qian Yan raised her eyebrows and said to the ugly man on the side: "I also thought about opening a window crack for it and letting it go out of the crack, but I didn't expect it to disappear directly."
In that case, why did you let me take it off the necklace? It's okay to just disappear. ”
Ugly Chou glanced at her and said with a smile: "Isn't it more ceremonial, people also tell you where it is by the way, this is respect for you." ”
Qian Yan rolled her eyes at it, "It's what you think, okay, in that case, I don't care, go to sleep first, and wake me up when it comes back, don't take me with you." ”
Yawned, and lay down on the bed, but still uneasy to instruct, afraid that they would go by themselves and not take her.
Holding the ingot, he looked at the ugly and said, "Do you want to sleep with me for a while?" You should be quite tired this day, too. ”
As soon as she lay down, Yuanbao's round body rolled towards her.
Ugly Chou glanced at the ingots and raised his eyebrows, "This guy is about to be promoted, it's quite fast, it seems that the dragon qi is really a good thing, and it is very suitable for demon beast cultivation." ”
Qian Yan stroked the furry in her arms, "It came back the day before yesterday and said that it was going to be promoted, and it was already saturated, and it couldn't absorb it anymore, so it didn't dare to stay by King Jin's side."
I told it about the changes in your space before, and it couldn't wait to go in and take a look, but it was afraid that it would be promoted immediately after entering, and it wouldn't be able to get out for a while. ”
The ugly ugly nodded in agreement after hearing this, "Yuanbao's concerns are right, now the aura in the space is very strong, there was a strong wind in the space before, there was already aura, and now with the water spirit bead, the aura is even stronger, and it is estimated that the ingots will break through as soon as they enter."
It's better to wait for the outside to go in again, and then you can advance in a down-to-earth manner without worrying about being disturbed. ”
Ugly Ugly jumped on the bed and lay down on the other side of the tilting Yan, the three of them didn't light up before, but they saved the lights out.
slept until dawn, the first thing Qian Yan opened her eyes was to look around, and when she saw that Ugly was still sleeping, she looked at the necklace again, and the Xuanniao Soul Bead did not come back.
I don't know if that guy found the other party, but he didn't come back after going all night.
She looked at the sky outside, took out her watch and looked at the time, it was just seven o'clock, not too late.
