Jianghu Dream Chapter 17: Sijun
After that, the boat traveled at full speed for half a month, during which Gao Mu took two more bags of cyan money, and changed a good room for Zhang Yuanyi's master and apprentice, and occasionally came to ask Zhang Daoling for advice, mostly on the compass and astrology. Time flies, and the boat has arrived.
Zhang Yuanyi didn't enjoy enough treatment to live in a first-class room, so he could only get off the boat very reluctantly. When he got off the boat, Zhang Yuanyi saw Takagi standing on the boat from afar and watching them, Zhang Yuanyi made a Taoist chief, Takagi smiled slightly, and returned the salute with a fist.
Takagi whispered: "The scholar taught a Taoist apprentice, which is interesting. ”
He turned his head to look at the crowd on the boat, showing a relieved smile, every time at the end of the boat, he would stand on the boat to watch the long line of guests get off the boat safely, the thunder could not move, only then would he feel that his fatigue all the way was drifting away with the wind.
——
After getting off the boat, the master and apprentice found a random place, ate a bowl of noodles, and then started to hurry again. The beef noodles in that house are really delicious, not only the strength of the noodles is just right, but also the beef is surprisingly abundant, if it weren't for the fact that the master was short of money and in a hurry, he would have ordered three or four bowls to eat.
Along the way, Zhang Yuanyi was playing with those few cyan coins, the small coins were cyan and translucent, and they were cool and cool on their bodies, which was very comfortable. Especially when the sun shines on the small money, it will also emit a warm cyan halo, which is very beautiful. Zhang Yuanyi couldn't put it down.
Zhang Daoling suddenly asked, "Do you know the cyan little money?"
Zhang Yuan threw the money into the sky, fell down to catch it, and replied: "I don't know, I just think it looks good and feels comfortable." ”
Zhang Daoling opened his mouth and said: "Then I'll tell you about the origin of this little money." ”
Zhang Yuanyi continued to throw small coins, he thought that this money should be an ornament such as a jade pendant, or it was a popular currency that was slightly more precious than ordinary coins, and it was not a big deal.
Zhang Daoling said to himself: "Mortals have mortal coins, and cultivators have cultivators' coins, and the two are different from each other. The coins of the cultivators are divided into Qingxiao coins, blue sky coins, and purple sky coins. Zixiao coins are the most expensive, then Bixiao coins, and finally Qingxiao coins, all of which have an exchange rate of one to one. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded, and roughly guessed that this cyan coin was probably a Qingxiao coin, and threw the cyan coin into the sky.
"A Qingxiao coin is worth a hundred taels of gold. ”
With a plop, Zhang Yuan fell on his heels, and the cyan money smashed on the back of his head and rolled to the ground. Zhang Yuanyi hurriedly got up to look for the small coin, and finally saw the small coin next to a haystack. He picked up the little money and sighed and wiped the dirt off it with his sleeve until there was no more dirt on it. Finally, he patted his trouser leg and cleaned the dust on it.
He turned his head and asked Zhang Daoling, with a foolish smile on his face: "Is the master really fake?"
Zhang Daoling looked at Zhang Yuanyi's stupid look and smiled, and asked rhetorically, "When did the master deceive you?"
Zhang Yuan pressed the money on his face, it was cold, and he only felt more comfortable. Thinking of the bowl of beef noodles just now, I was ruthless, and I thought that next time I must add the beef of the entire store. I thought that beef alone was not enough, but there must be a chef, so I thought about buying all the store managers, so I cooked for the chef and him. Find a beautiful girl for the master to be his wife, what does the boss look like when he is not a small person. I looked at the master's tall physique again, and I couldn't do two! The more Zhang Yuanyi thought about it, the more boundless he became, and the foolish smile on his mouth became more exaggerated, so he almost drooled and stayed.
"Oops!"
Zhang Daoling knocked down a chestnut and settled down in an instant.
Longwan Island is located in the southern region of the endless sea, and the island is vast and covers tens of thousands of miles, which is not much more than the previous Xuanling County. Except for being slightly smaller than Linglan Island in the north, none of the other islands can compare.
Because within a radius of 300 miles in the center of the island, there are thousands of closed bays, and many fish in the bay like to flock in groups, and the reflection in the water from top to bottom is like a dragon swimming, so it is called Longwan Island. Longwan Island has four uniques: strange pines, sea of clouds, hot springs, and strange rocks. There are three waterfalls: herringbone waterfall, Baizhang waterfall, and Jiulong waterfall. There are also two streams running through the north and south: Peach Blossom Creek and Emerald Valley. All are scenic spots. If you run to the literati circle and say that you have never been to Longwan Island, you will definitely be ridiculed by everyone.
The romance is not seen in Dalong Bay, and the world has been lonely for 500 years!
But even so, Longwan Island is still a terra nullius, no country has occupied it, and it does not belong to any jurisdiction, Longwan is Longwan and that's all.
No one is allowed to step into the center of Longwan within 300 miles, and there are some who do not listen to persuasion, but in the end they all go in and never come out. No army is allowed to set up troops outside 300 miles, but ordinary people can come and go freely and even build houses, and the only requirement is that they are not allowed to form gangs and factions, and they are not allowed to fight privately. Either they disappeared overnight, or they rebelled and were driven out of Longwan Island.
The purpose of Zhang Daoling's trip is to go to the deepest part of Longwan Island, that is, the forbidden land of Longwan.
The two of them walked all the way to see fewer and fewer people, the coast of Longwan is the most crowded, on the one hand, all the boats will gather here to disembark, on the other hand, the coast of Longwan is beautiful, the sea breeze is blowing, the beach is warm, the most suitable for playing.
A coast stretches for thousands of miles, and there is no edge at a glance, and the business hotel inns are distributed along this coast, and the style is also strange. There is a house that looks like a big red fish, the entrance is the mouth of the fish, the house is surprisingly large, there is a small half a hill as big, the lights are bright at night, the whole fish is glowing, the fire flickering, the color change is not spectacular! There is also a turtle's house, the bottom of the turtle is a restaurant, focusing on entertaining diners, there is a tall building on it, the tall building goes straight to the sky, people are frightened! Zhang Yuanyi's favorite is still a green lotus lotus building, this building is different from the ordinary building built on land but stands in the sea area, from a distance it looks like a gorgeous flower on the sea, set many sun, moon and stars in one, each lotus leaf lotus is reflected in the water, the shadow is building, sparkling, like a fairyland, and the cyan lotus is engraved with countless golden stripes, it seems that the whole building is more brilliant, shining. But in fact, this is the reason why Zhang Yuanyi is too far away, if he looks closely, he will know that these golden stripes are just a deliberately built corridor, the corridor is built in accordance with the style of the Eight Treasures of Buddhism, the Golden Body Arhat and the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guangli, and the size of the entire building is self-evident, and the height of ten thousand zhang is roughly like this. What's more, there is a corridor leading to the bottom of the sea at the bottom of this lotus, which looks like the rhizome of the lotus, and the corridor is transparent and flawless, specially used to enjoy the underwater scenery. However, these are all beyond the reach of mortals, and if you stay here for a night, you will settle all the Bixiao coins and even the Zixiao coins. Of course, Zhang Yuanyi didn't say that the reason why he liked this lotus flower was because the color it emitted was very similar to the Qingxiao coin.
Zhang Yuanyi was very curious and asked, "Master, why haven't I seen this kind of building in Cangwu County, not even in the city?"
Zhang Daoling lowered his head and walked without looking at the scenery along the way, and replied: "This place is a lawless place, and no one will take care of it, but it is different on land, and it is subject to the restrictions of the local yamen government." If this kind of building is everywhere, it will not only occupy too much land, but also be difficult to manage, and the government will have a headache. Therefore, there are only some big sects that can build this kind of building on land in a big way, but none of them are commercially used for cultivation, and there are few places where the people can support such a behemoth, the population is not enough, and the living standards of the people are not enough. But it's different here, cultivators, wealthy merchants, and relatives of the emperor from all over the world...... They all come here to play, and everyone has no shortage of money in their hands. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded, and a new question came out, "Doesn't that mean that you can't form gangs here, how can you build these buildings by yourself?"
Zhang Daoling smiled, "Some cultivators can really do it, but most of them are still built by big external forces, saying that gangs are not allowed on the island, so they went through some side doors, and prepared things outside, dozens of continent ships are parked outside the island, and they take turns to change people to build, and it is still very easy to do this kind of thing with Qiankun bags and spells, but it is a little troublesome." Therefore, the building built here is a kind of show of martial arts or the strength of the sect. ”
Zhang Daoling pointed to the sea blue lotus again, and said, "That is the ferry we are on, the building of the Blue and White Sect. ”
Zhang Yuan was dumbfounded, looked at the lotus flower, and was shocked in his heart, and secretly decided that the next time he saw Takagi, he must have a good relationship.
Zhang Daoling shook his head when he saw Zhang Yuanyi's performance, and he was frightened? I'm afraid he didn't go to the east of Longwan Island, and that was the real immortal fight! The Tang Dynasty and Beiyan both landed the most on the east coast, and the two countries were notoriously rich, and the big sects, the rich merchants, and the big nobles abounded, and no one was convinced, so they began to compete with each other to see who threw more money! creates a bunch of pavilions that are just good-looking but not profitable, and the money lost every day is thousands of Zixiao coins, but there is no way to make the family rich, even if the Blue and White Sect goes, it is just the bottom. Just the Twelve Palaces of the Heavenly Court of Xuantian Sect, ordinary people can't sleep in one room a night for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Daoling's thoughts retracted, and he took Zhang Yuanyi to speed up, it is still important to hurry!
Zhang Daoling led the way in front and chose a sparsely populated trail, a tributary of Peach Blossom Creek, the name is very interesting called Yuanmu River, Yuanmu seeks fish, there are really many fat mandarin fish in the river, and a few small whitebait. Looking at these fish, Zhang Yuanyi thought of the little demon Xu Yifan, and Grandma Gu. It's been more than half a year since he and his master came out, and I don't know what is happening to the town now.
——
In Jewelry Town, Xu Yifan would secretly look at the south lane of the town in the middle of the Candlewater River every day and wait for that familiar figure, because the entrance and exit of the town were in the south lane, but the Candlewater River was east-west, and there were many people coming and going, so she could only sneak a look at the bottom of the water with a big lotus leaf. In fact, ordinary people can't see her with the naked eye at all, but it's hard to guarantee that there will be a few cultivators passing by, so it's safe to hide in the water just in case. As for why Zhang Yuanyi could see her, she also felt very strange, but she didn't think it was a big deal, there were all kinds of wonders in the world, and if it wasn't for Zhang Yuan, how could he meet him when he saw it? Thinking of this, Xu Yifan squinted his eyes, pursed his lips, and smiled.
In the town market, there is a vegetable stall that is empty and there is no one. Not long after Zhang Yuan left, Grandma Gu never came out to sell vegetables, and the original vegetable stall has been empty and no one cares.
That night, the moon hung high and the moonlight was cold.
Xu Yifan sat alone on the big stone slab that he used to sit on with Zhang Yuanyi, holding two small wooden figures in his hands, which were the wooden figures that Zhang Yuanyi carved for her and the wooden figures of Zhang Yuanyi that she snatched.
Xu Yifan picked up "Xu Yifan", and then put "Zhang Yuanyi" square, and hit it head-on, "Zhang Yuanyi" fell to the ground, "Hmph! Zhang Yuanyi knows how powerful this girl is, don't hurry up and beg for mercy!"
As he spoke, he picked up "Zhang Yuanyi" with his other hand, and kept shaking his hand, "Zhang Yuanyi" was like kowtowing, and his voice was thick and slightly pitiful: "The heroine spares her life! The heroine's martial arts are world-famous, and this little bit of Taoism is really shameful, and I am willing to accept any punishment, just ask the woman to spare my life!"
"Xu Yifan" turned sideways and said, "Really?"
"Zhang Yuanyi" kept "kowtowing" and said: "Really! Really, as long as the woman spares my life, anything will do!"
"Xu Yifan" pretended to be mysterious, turned around, and said: "That girl will be wronged and promise herself." ”
"Zhang Yuanyi" is stunned!
Xu Yifan laughed with "Xu Yifan"!
Xu Yifan suddenly put down the two little wooden figures, holding the stone slab with both hands, his eyes were sad, he raised his eyes to look at the big full moon in the sky, and sighed, "Zhang Yuanyi, Zhang Yuanyi, when will you come back?"
Picked up "Zhang Yuanyi" again, and fingers flicked its nose, "You know what?"
Zhang Yuanyi, a little wooden man, was carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, his eyes were dull, and he kept a numb smile on his mouth, silent.
"Forget it, you don't know. Xu Yifan took all the little wooden figures into his hands and shouted: "Let's go!"
One jumped up like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, setting off a sparkling drop of water in the moonlight, and escaped into the water.
Xiao looks at the sky and looks at the clouds at dusk, and thinks about you when you walk, and thinks about you when you sit.
