Chapter 101: Meicheng - Gloomy and sad
"Meicheng, what kind of place is that?" said Leng Yue in the carriage, pointing to the map on the table.
"The city is planted with plum trees all over the city, and the plum blossoms bloom for four seasons, so the city of Meicheng. Mo Ran on Leng Yue's side said.
"Isn't the plum tree blooming in the cold winter, how can there be a plum tree that blooms all year round?"
"I heard that it is a special secret method of Meicheng. As long as it is in the area under the jurisdiction of Meicheng, plum blossoms are undefeated all year round. "Mo Ran is very curious about the secret method of Namei City.
Leng Yue's heart rose with yearning when she heard this, after all, she is a girl, and it is instinct to love flowers: "I want to visit Meicheng this time." "The unpleasantness that happened in Bamboo City, Leng Yue really didn't want to recall it anymore.
Xue Ying held his chin with his left hand: "What is there to shop for plum blossoms?" He really didn't understand why the excitement in Leng Yue's eyes came, "I'm just curious, does Meicheng really have the Nuwa Stone we need?"
Snow Eagle's words get to the point. A carload of people all looked at Mo Ran.
"Meicheng's annual Plum God Contest is about to begin, and this year will be more lively than in previous years. Because the first place can not only be crowned with the glory of the plum god, but also get the grand prize of the contest - the red Nuwa stone. Mo Ran was sure, "Those who want to get the Nuwa Stone on the Flood Desolate Continent will come for the sake of the Nuwa Stone, even if they don't want the glory of the Mei God." ”
"I didn't expect the city lord of Meicheng to use Nuwa Stone as a prize for the competition. Leng Yue frowned, "What kind of existence is Mei God for Mei Cheng?"
"The god of plum is the patron saint of the city of Plum. Even if the plum god elected every year is just a false name, the elected plum god will be qualified to make three wishes to the people of Meicheng. And for the three wishes of the elected plum god, the people of Meicheng will also go to the soup for it. Mo Ran's tone became solemn, "It can be said that the Plum God Contest is the biggest festival of the year in Meicheng. ”
"I always felt that something was wrong. Leng Yue's heart suddenly changed, "Mo Ran, where is the Mei God who is elected every year?"
Mo Ran looked at Leng Yue approvingly, this girl who liked her so much that she didn't know what to do: "The elected Mei God will say his three wishes on the same day, and then fast for three days and be sent to the Mei God Temple." ”
"And then?" Leng Yue's brows gathered more and more.
"No more. From ancient times to the present, the people who were sent to the Plum Temple have never come out again. The people of Meicheng think that they have ascended to heaven and become gods to serve the real plum gods. Mo Ran's eyes narrowed slightly. Because he couldn't perceive everything in the Plum Temple, what was even more annoying was that he couldn't even enter the Plum Temple.
"It's never that simple, there must be secrets in the Temple of Plum that we don't know. Leng Yue closed her eyes and stared, her index finger lightly tapping on the table.
Everyone quietly looked at the girl who closed her eyes and thought. Even the drunken Kirin slowed down his breathing.
Leng Yue opened her eyes suddenly: "Mo Ran, have you found anything other than these news?"
Mo Ran shook his head.
"What about you, Snow Eagle?" asked Leng Yue, turning her head to look at Snow Eagle.
Xue Ying looked ashamed: "No, because the news found is the same as what Brother Mo Ran found." ”
Leng Yue lowered her head, and her index finger, which was originally tapping on the tabletop, changed to draw circles on the table: "Mo Ran, Snow Eagle, you let your subordinates get a roster of people who have been elected as Plum Gods as soon as possible, including their family." There is also a roster of all the families in Meicheng. I don't believe that with such a big ceremony, no one in Mei City will know the secret of the Mei Temple?"
Everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"Good. Mo Ran and Snow Eagle agreed neatly.
The old doctor in the corner of the car who was relieving the hangover of the unicorn looked relieved. Childe's daughter-in-law is looking for a good one. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Mo Ran and Xue Ying were both the same straightforward people, and they immediately got out of the car after hearing Leng Yue's order.
Leng Yue lifted the curtain and watched Mo Ran casually summon a Tsing Yi Shadow Guard and command. And the snow eagle on the side whistled, and a young man in white fell from the sky.
When the green shadow disappeared in place, the white shadow soared into the sky. Leng Yue lowered the curtains.
The carriage traveled for more than ten days, and finally arrived at Meicheng at 10 o'clock in the afternoon.
Leng Yue looked at this dreamlike city in surprise. White, pink, or red plum blossoms bloom everywhere. In addition to plum blossoms, plum blossoms are still plum blossoms here. Other varieties are not qualified to enter this Meicheng at all.
For Meicheng, who can meet the plum tree in these three or five steps, Leng Yue lost the excitement when he first heard about this place. Since stepping into this city, she has faintly felt that something is wrong in her heart, but she can't say what is wrong, so she can only bury her feelings in the bottom of her heart.
"How many guest officers?"
"Six, six upper rooms. It was Bei Yu who spoke, and she now seemed to be the housekeeper of Leng Yue's group, "And every room has to be sent with bath water." ”
"Well, good. There are six upper rooms on the fourth floor. The shopkeeper with a red face added a few strokes to his notebook, "Qiangzi, take these distinguished guests to the fourth floor." ”
"Okay-" The shopkeeper named Qiangzi counted the sweat towel on his hand, "The guest officer, please." Lucky for you, the only six rooms left in this inn are yours. Hadron said as he walked up the stairs.
Leng Yue looked at the first and second floors of the full house with a faint gaze, and said to the shopkeeper in front of him who had a monkey-like flexible body: "Little second brother, your business here is really booming, and the income of so many customers must be very good." Working here, I guess the moon silver is also very impressive. ”
Hadron said happily, "Not really. It's just that the Plum Blossom God Contest is approaching, so the passenger flow is full during this time. If it's usual, business is okay. If you come a day or two late, there will be no room available at the inn in Meicheng. ”
Leng Yue was surprised: "But isn't the Plum Blossom God Contest held half a month later, why is it starting to be full now." ”
"Hehe......" Qiangzi led Leng Yue and them to the corridor on the left, "Several guest officers must be here for the first time." This is the case here every year, and in the first half of the Plum Blossom God Competition, all the inns in Meicheng will be full. This year is even more lively, I heard that many houses in the city have been bought by people from other cities. ”
"So lively?"
"That's it. The Plum Blossom God Contest is the biggest festival in our city. You're here for a good time. Hadron pointed to the upper room, "This room goes all the way to the corridor and there are the six upper rooms you have set." Please—"
After the shopkeeper left, Leng Yue and the others looked at the room leisurely. The furnishings of the six rooms are basically the same. Simple, generous and clean. But one thing that is not suitable is that there will be a pot of plum blossom bonsai in each room, which fills the room with a dark fragrance.
Leng Yue lay in the bathtub, tilting her head and looking at the beams above. Holding the plum blossom petals floating on the water, I wondered what was the secret of Meicheng?
Let's be honest. Meicheng is a fantastic city, and it is the country of every Meicheng person. But it's so beautiful that Leng Yue has a lingering weirdness in her heart. I always feel that the plum blossoms that bloom from the beginning of the year to the end of the year make her feel uneasy.
Leng Yue plunged her head into the water. I hope that in the past half a month, Mo Ran and Snow Eagle can figure out the hidden secrets of this plum city. No matter how bad it is, you can find the place where Nuwa Stone is hiding, and you can leave if you steal it. She really didn't want to stay in this plum city for a moment.
