Chapter 174: Layout Yun Mengze
Gangneung, located in the middle of Daqian, has three major wonders.
In addition to the spring rain that lasts for months and the cherry blossoms that are as red as fire, it is the waterway that extends in all directions, with streams inside and rivers and seas outside.
Every guest from all over the world can go down the river, visit the city day and night, see the smoke willow painting bridge of Jiangling, the wind curtain and green curtain, and the prosperity of hundreds of miles, it is no wonder that the prime minister of the imperial court who lingered here in those years will sigh when he says goodbye, "The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi to praise." ”
At this moment, facing the light of the day, a flat boat, along the stream, swims across the moat, and floats into the city.
Lin Chen casually stopped at a small port, casually followed the boatman on the side, said that the boat belongs to you, and walked away.
As far as the eye can see, Jiangling City is really prosperous, and there are money shops, pawnshops, blacksmith shops, frosting shops, fat powder shops, tea houses, cloth houses, restaurants, green houses, and tea shops on both sides of the street......
Even though it was just white, a lot of cloth clothes were already working on the side.
Steamed buns, benches, searing ingredients, and welcoming guests...... All walks of life have started a day of pick-up, and the whole street is full of life.
And tourists from all over the world also wake up at this time, walking the streets, talking about business, and playing on the streets...... Soon, the flow of people gathered like a hundred rivers, and the whole city began to be lively.
"The world outside has begun to be chaotic, I didn't expect it to be quiet and peaceful here, but it's right to think about it, after all, it is one of the most prosperous places in Daqian......
Just as he was thinking, a Taoist priest suddenly walked on the opposite side.
He was about eighty years old, obviously he was almost old, but he had a childish face, a pair of eyes were bright, and he was wearing a cyan robe and dark cloud boots.
Lin Chen ignored him, directly merged into the crowd, and disappeared......
"Yunmeng Master, what's wrong?" The middle-aged Taoist priest who followed on the side asked.
"It's okay, maybe I just came down from Zhongxuan Mountain, and I can't get used to the prosperity of this market for a while."
The old Taoist priest called Yunmeng shook his head, but his eyes skimmed in the direction Lin Chen left from time to time.
For some reason, he vaguely felt an otherworldly aura on the young man's body?
"Rest assured, Master, we have prepared the Taoist Temple, and the head of the sect has been waiting there for a long time." The middle-aged Taoist priest hurriedly said.
The old man in front of him, but on the face of Da Qianming, one of the only three congenitals, is also the key to their Daomen, and the key to maintaining a certain degree of independence in the dynasty, can not be neglected.
“…… In that case, let's go. After a deep sigh, Yunmeng Daoist replied.
The two quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Lin Chen naturally didn't know the conversation between the two, at this moment, he was standing in front of an extremely prosperous restaurant.
"This son, what do you need, just tell the little one, the little one will be sent to you immediately!"
As soon as Lin Chen entered the door, a sharp-eyed junior immediately walked up, nodded and said, with a smile on his face.
"Open a box." Lin Chen glanced at him and said lightly.
"Okay, guest officer, please come inside!"
Led by the shopkeeper, they quickly made their way through the crowd and came to a box on the third floor.
Lin Chen ordered a few dishes casually, and the shopkeeper immediately went down to get them.
Soon, the shopkeeper led a few ordinary-looking women to serve the dishes, put them down one after another, and then retreated in turn.
"Guest officer, please use it slowly!"
"Wait!"
Just as the shopkeeper turned around and wanted to leave, Lin Chen suddenly stopped him.
"Guest, what else do you have to do?"
Lin Chen casually threw a few taels of silver over: "I have something I want to ask you." ”
Seeing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he quietly accepted the silver, and said with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, if you have any doubts, just say that the little one will not be deceived!" ”
"In Jiangling City, who is the most well-informed?"
"What's the news......" The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and then said, "The most well-informed should be Tingfeng Pavilion, most of the news, as long as the silver is enough, you can buy anything!" Even the color of the underwear of the thirteen-room concubine newly married by the city lord, as long as the money is enough, they can get it for you! ”
'What do I want the color of my underwear?' ’
Lin Chen was a little speechless.
However, the next moment, when he saw the face of the shopkeeper, he suddenly became solemn, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one, he said cautiously: "But the guest officer, I heard that this Tingfeng Pavilion is suspected to have something to do with the above, so what the guest officer wants to ask, it's better to be careful." ”
Topmost?
Referring to the imperial court?
When Lin Chen heard this, he didn't say anything, but continued to ask: "Then do you know that near Jiangling, there are any places that are inaccessible but quite famous?" ”
"Rarely visited, quite famous......" The shopkeeper lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized, "By the way, why did I almost forget about it?" ”
"Guest officer, if I'm not mistaken, there is only Yun Mengze around here, which meets your requirements!"
"Yun Mengze?" Lin Chen's eyes moved, "Let's hear it." ”
"Yunmengze is a very famous place in the north of Jiangling."
"It is a lake that covers thousands of miles, the lake is rich in products, there are many medicinal herbs produced, and there are even genius treasures, even in Gangneung, it is also very famous!"
"Oh? The popularity is there, but what about the inaccessibility? Lin Chen asked.
"If it's on the periphery, that's fine. The water surface of the hand hundred miles is calm, the products are abundant, and the scenery is strangely beautiful, if the son wants to swim in the lake, the water surface of this hundred and ten acres is naturally familiar, and the nearby fishermen often have people fishing nearby. ”
Dian Xiaoer continued: "But if you go to the depths of Yun Mengze, it will be very different. There are not only insects, snakes, beasts, snakes, pythons, giant crocodiles, but also colored miasma, all kinds of poisonous insects and plants, which can be called a first-class danger. ”
"Even according to legend, the world's famous congenital master, the Yunmeng Daoist on the Daomen Zhongxuan Mountain, once entered the depths of Yunmengze three times, trying to find out whether there were immortal traces in it, but he was forced to return again and again in vain, and he did not dare to go deeper, from this point of view, the risk in it!"
"That's ......" Lin Chen pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and asked the shopkeeper to go down.
Then, he looked at the bustling market downstairs, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
"In a very famous, but extremely dangerous place, a fairy ruin, or a mysterious ancient tomb suddenly appeared, it seems that it is also a possibility, isn't it?"
"But how do you show your power and let the whole world know about it?"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but look at the sky.
……
A day later, a flat boat sailed out of Gangneung and headed straight for the depths of Yunmengze.
