Chapter 230: Song Customs

Su Li didn't pay any attention to the affairs of that village, and he didn't know if their sanity would gradually return to normal after the mountain returned to normal.

But since they have been able to hold on to that village until now, they should be able to continue to sustain themselves and live better and better until they prosper again.

He had already walked out of the newly opened mountain pass with Storm Hao, and then went all the way east towards the Song Kingdom.

"Ma Han is next to the Song Kingdom, I wonder if you have been to the Dengxian City of the Song Kingdom?" Su Li asked curiously in the carriage.

Hearing this, Storm Hao smiled bitterly and said, "I've been to Dengxian City twice, but I haven't stayed for long...... That's not a good place for us to scatter immortals. ”

"Oh?" Su Li let out a puzzled voice.

"Dengxian City is said to be a city of cultivators, but it is actually a secret realm immortal mansion developed by those great sects, and then the monks of various factions are more active, and it is slowly formed as a city. ”

"This city is protected by a huge formation, and except for the sects that have a station in the city, they must pay a very expensive entrance fee to enter the city. ”

"The city is divided into the inside and outside, and the outer city is mostly small sects and scattered cultivators, and there are formations in the inner city. ”

Su Li listened and asked, "Why do you all gather together, is there any benefit?"

"The biggest advantage is that for casual cultivators, it is more promising to practice in Dengxian City. ”

"Our greatest desire for meditation is to be able to receive guidance on our practice, even if it is just a few words, which is a huge touch for us. ”

"There are many monks from the major sects in Dengxian City, maybe there will be an elder of the sect who is willing to open the altar to preach the Fa and answer our questions. ”

"And for the big sects, the gathering of monks is also conducive to them collecting some of the heavenly and earthly treasures they need. Especially if there are too many casual cultivators, they will always bring some strange things, maybe just what they need. ”

I see, this Dengxian City is such a place to take each other's needs...... Loose cultivators get guidance, and sect monks are the channel for resources.

"I always feel that this is a place of exploitation and dissipation. Su Li sighed.

"......" Storm did not answer, obviously he did not want to make a meaningless echo.

Su Li didn't speak again, just lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside.

This is already the boundary of the Song Kingdom, and you can clearly feel the difference between the pedestrians around you.

It's a kind of pride, everyone walks with their heads held high, even a poor person who is obviously in shabby clothes, and everyone thinks it's normal to talk with his head up with his voice up.

"This is what it looks like here, everyone thinks that they are the true inheritors of the Dongzhou civilization and should be respected. Storm said.

"Just like the beggar in front of you, you can't take any beggar lightly, because no one can say if it's a poet who is experiencing life and looking for inspiration. ”

"The most vendors here don't eat and drink, but they sell calligraphy, paintings, and the four treasures of the study. ”

"You can't look down on the rich here, because only the children of rich families can collect enough books and all kinds of culturally significant antiquities. ”

"This is the world of scholars, and even cultivators will be despised if they don't dress as scholars in this bazaar. ”

Su Li felt very surprised in his heart when he listened to the violent story, the customs of this Song country are really more excessive than Ma Han, the military equipment is lax but the scholars are in charge, such a country is just because there are cultivators gathered here, so no one dares to provoke it?

However, a closer look at the geographical location of this Song Kingdom can see why the people here are so comfortable.

The northern part of the Song Kingdom was bordered by the northern powerful Northern Wei Dynasty, while the eastern side was bordered by the Qiang Qi. To the south is the vast land of Jingnan, only to the west is slightly weaker.

These four sides can be said to be strong neighbors, and there is no room for outward expansion. The local territory is rich and stable, so the people here can be said to be well-informed and etiquette.

In other words, when there is abundant material and there is no room for progress and there is no need to worry about it, then it is natural to develop towards 'spiritual civilization'.

As a result, reading became popular, and almost all the people were addicted to it.

And they have indeed promoted the civilization level of almost the entire Dongzhou because of this, so it is understandable that they are proud of this.

Of course, after reaching the peak, it is natural to be empty-sighted and self-contained, and Su Li understands the occurrence and evolution of this phenomenon very well.

But they also know that this kind of comfort and prosperity is sick and fragile.

"Find a good place, let's go get something to eat. Su Li commanded.

Whenever he goes to a new place, he always likes to go to the biggest restaurant in the area to taste its special dishes.

When he heard that Song Guo's pasta was very distinctive, he wanted to try it.

Storm Hao didn't say more, so he accelerated his speed and drove towards the capital of the Song Kingdom, 'Daqiu'.

'Big' means respectful, and the name of this capital city can also be understood as 'great hills', highlighting the pride of the Song people.

Su Li's carriage was very fast, and it seemed to take less than half a day to arrive at Daqiu.

Storm Hao is also familiar with the way, and soon came to the best restaurant in Daqiu City. Then he left the carriage on the side of the road outside the restaurant, and took Su Li in to taste the delicacies.

The old rule is still to sit in the hall.

Because Su Li likes to listen to the chatting voices of the guests here.

Only this time he miscalculated.

He didn't notice the look in the store's eyes when he ordered, and he recommended him to eat in the private room upstairs many times.

And when his dishes were served on plates, he noticed that the chatter around him had disappeared.

They all looked at Su Li's table with a look of contempt, as if what he had done was extremely harmful.

"It's really copper-stinking and insulting!" a voice sounded first, and then vaguely echoed the surroundings.

At the same time, Su Li's hearing also caught a corner where a scholar said to his companion: "At a glance, I know that a rich foreigner has come here to fill garlic." Wait a moment and see how you play it. ”

So he heard the sound of pushing and pulling the seat, and Su Li noticed that a person had already grown up and walked this way......

He rubbed his head speechlessly, did he do something wrong?

I was also a little annoyed in my heart, so I simply ignored it, but tasted the dishes served to myself.

He doesn't eat much, and each is just a skit...... Most of the dishes here are mainly pasta-based, so even if you eat a little taste of each, you can easily eat it.

And at this moment, the scholar who said that he was going to play him had come to him and sat down.

And he will speak...... The surrounding scholars immediately showed a look of good fun.

"There's someone here. ”

Su Li said coldly first.

The man froze on the spot, and this situation was really not in his plan.
