Chu State, Hongdu.

"Little Er, serve the wine."

A young man called out loudly, and a woman sat next to him, and an old man was opposite.

The man kept talking to the old man opposite, and the woman just covered her mouth and smiled softly, and the old man did not respond to the man's words, but only cared about the beef on the table, and from time to time drank a sip of the wine peculiar to this place.

Seeing that the old man didn't react at all, the man slapped the table and said angrily: "Old man, are you the kind of character on the rivers and lakes who are deceived and abducted, you dare to deceive, young master!" ”

After hearing this, the old man also stopped what he was doing, then picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine, and said to the man earnestly: "Young people, don't be impatient, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, this practice is the same, you have to take your time." ”

After hearing this, the man gritted his teeth, stood up directly, and glared: "You said the same thing two days ago, Xiangxi girls can testify, what?" Do you think Young Master Ben is easy to deceive? Now I'm talking about this, if you don't show some real skills after eating this meal, let's just shoot it and break up, and this young master doesn't need you to dominate the rivers and lakes. ”

This group of people is Qin Nianan and others who went south from Anyang Town.

Mo Xiangxi sat aside, without saying anything to persuade her, she was used to the way these two people got along, this old and young were simply a pair of living treasures, and there was no less competition all the way, and they were scattered at every turn, and they almost fought several times, and even she couldn't stop them. But after that, the two of them continued to set off south as if nothing had happened, so that she no longer paid attention to their quarrels, but silently acted as a bystander.

"How did you kid be so ungrateful, and forget who worked so hard to save you from those bandits that day?"

The old man was extremely dissatisfied with Qin Nian'an's proposal to break up.

"Fuck your mother's hardships, if I were ungrateful, I would have left you a long time ago, how can I say that it has been seven days since I left Anyang Town, right?"

"It's nonsense, it's only the sixth day, and it's only six and a half days when it's full, where did it come from for seven days?"

"It doesn't matter if he's six and a half days or seven days, in all fairness, have you been eating and drinking with me all these days?"

The old man obviously showed a dissatisfied expression at Qin Nian'an's words, but his eyes did not look at him, but at the window of the restaurant, Mo Xiangxi's attention was also attracted by him, and Qin Nianan also turned his gaze to the window curiously.

I saw the pavilions and pavilions outside the window, the pond pavilion and the water pavilion, reflected in the green pines and cypresses, rockeries and strange stones, flower beds and bonsai, vines and green bamboos, dotted in the meantime.

Qin Nian's peace of mind was full of sighs, the wind and bones of the south of the Yangtze River, the sky and the water were blue, and the wishes of the Heavenly Sect were contrary to his body.

Where can this kind of landscape be seen in Chang'an, it is really in vain to travel to the rivers and lakes.

The old man also looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't seen it for many years, but the scenery of Hongdu is still as magnificent as it was back then." ”

"Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is back then, I don't know how many times I've listened to your nonsense, what earth-shattering things did you do back then?"

Qin Nianan also came back to his senses, put on a very impatient expression, and asked the old man.

The old man laughed, made a gesture of reminiscence, and said to Qin Nian'an: "The old man traveled here back then, and was attracted by the magnificent landscape here, so he simply crossed the river with a sword, and it is estimated that many yellow flower girls want to make a promise. ”

Qin Nian'an naturally knew that this sloppy old man was teasing himself, but Mo Xiang was so absorbed in listening to it that he didn't react at once.

Qin Nian'an felt that something was wrong, he was startled, came back to his senses, and said angrily to the old man: "Don't tear up the topic for me, let me ask you if you have been eating and drinking with me these days?" ”

"You kid, how do you speak, didn't you beg me to guide you in your cultivation?"

"Bah, when did you plead? I also guide the practice! Can you tell us about what you've been mentoring in the past few days? ”

"Young people don't be impatient, they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and it's the same with cultivation......

"Gotta get it, stop me, don't you call yourself the elder of the Big Dipper Palace? You shouldn't just give me a point, and then my cultivation can improve by leaps and bounds. ”

Qin Nianan was very helpless, he met a charlatan when he traveled to the rivers and lakes for the first time, and he thought that he was so lucky, as soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, he met a master from outside the world, and in the end he didn't get anything.

"Cultivation is not so simple, it has to be accumulated over time, step by step."

The old man looked a little drowsy after eating and drinking, and replied listlessly to Qin Nian'an.

"Then how long have you been accumulating to get to your current state?"

Qin Nian'an's question this time made the old man suddenly sit upright, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Speaking of this old man, he is not sleepy, I think back then, the old man stepped into the ninth grade at the age of twelve, entered the fifth grade at the age of twenty, was promoted to the second grade at the age of twenty-seven, and entered the realm of the first grade at the age of thirty, and the cultivation progress is so fast that no one in the entire Weiyang Continent can match." ”

"Thirty years old is from a product? After all these years, you haven't stepped into a product? No, go to your grandmother's first grade, if you follow the first grade, this young master will not be the first in the world. ”

Qin Nian'an said in a sonorous voice, and his eyes were staring at him even more directly.

The sloppy old man didn't have the pride of the previous spring breeze, and said abruptly: "It's really not from the first product......

The old man's voice became quieter and quieter, and the word "ha" at the end was almost inaudible.

…………

The streets of Hongdu are particularly lively, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and peddlers and pawns are also hawking along the streets:

"Buns—"

"Sugar gourd ~ delicious sugar gourd-"

Qin Nian'an took Mo Xiangxi to ride a white horse and walked on the noisy streets, the two looked around, Qin Nian'an was full of interest in Hongdu, which was different from Chang'an.

The sloppy old man rode a brown horse to follow, and Mo Xiang regretted that because he was not proficient in equestrianism, he could only sit behind Qin Nian'an.

The man on the white horse is not only handsome, but his dress is also extremely luxurious, not to mention that there is an old man who looks like a servant behind him, and I don't know which young master went out to play.

In front of everyone's eyes, Qin Nian'an didn't feel a trace of discomfort, as the first gentleman in Chang'an, this kind of scene was simply not worth mentioning to him, but Mo Xiang was a little uncomfortable with so many gazes, so he could only bury his head behind Qin Nian'an's back.

Qin Nian'an was looking at the scenery of Hongdu with relish, and unconsciously walked to a palace, looked up, and saw three gilded characters engraved on the palace - Yunxiao Palace.

The ferry next to the Yunxiao Hall is full of big ships carved with the pattern of the green finch and the yellow dragon, which can really be described as "Lu Yan pounces on the ground, Zhong Ming Ding eats home, the ship Mijin, and the green finch and the yellow dragon".

From the Sky Palace, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world of "the water is exhausted and the cold pool is clear, the smoke is condensed and the twilight is purple" and "the sunset and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky".

Mo Xiang was stunned by the beautiful scenery of the Cloud Palace, and Qin Nianan was also amazed by this Jiangnan style.

"However, it is rumored that the Cloud Hall has been a prosperous place for people from the rivers and lakes to practice the Tao since ancient times, why don't there be masters today?"

Qin Nian'an expressed his doubts, and a group of people under His Highness Yunxiao rushed to talk about it after hearing it.

"You're from out of town, aren't you? The Temple of the Heavens is held every year on September 19. ”

"At that time, it was really a grand scene in the world, and masters from all walks of life showed their magical powers."

"Although there are no rules, the participants are generally from the younger generation, and it is not easy for the older generation to lower their face."

"I still remember the Lu Fairy of the Beidou Palace last year, and that sword was really amazing."

"What's the matter, I think that Song Gongzi of Wuxiang Pavilion is a real peerless master with one shot."

"Even if there are so many amazing masters, the emperor is not still my Song Gongzi of Da Chu."

Qin Nian'an understood some of the rules of the Cloud Palace, but he still had some confusion in his heart, so he continued to ask, "Emperor? What's that? ”

"What-"

"You don't even know the emperor?"

"Did you just crawl out of the mountains?"
