Chapter 802: Yanzhou Cangcheng
After a hurried rest for a day, everyone went on the road again, from Ganzhou's Twenty Hua City all the way to the east, walked for about two days, and finally came to the junction of Yanzhou and Ganzhou, the town here seems to be more defense-oriented, compared to Twenty Hua City, there is a little less prosperous scene, but more solemn atmosphere.
Crossing the land of a state, the monk needs to identify himself to the state and the state, so Shen Wansan has to deal with it, but because of Song Zhong, he almost killed someone.
Those monks in charge of the garrison, when they saw Song Zhong's indifferent expression, couldn't help but associate him with those heinous people, thanks to Lou Yi showing the token of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the matter was suppressed, and at this time, Song Zhong was ready to kill.
After Ganzhou came to the boundary of Yanzhou, there was no change in everyone's clothing, but the ruler had changed, although the Mu family was a big family here, but the actual controller of this Yanzhou land was the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Chongba's family.
The Zhu family not only controls Yanzhou, but even controls Zhezhou and Shanzhou, and the three states are under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, which is why the junction of Ganzhou and Yanzhou is so solemn.
Over the years, the Zhu family has been expanding their territory, so the surrounding forces are quite nervous, but although the Zhu family has expanded its territory, it has taken good care of the original local forces, which is why they have been able to stabilize these territories in a very short time.
And the Mu family is actually the local force in Yanzhou, so in general, the Mu family has not been affected in the slightest, on the contrary, they have been protected by the Zhu family.
Lou Yi walked all the way, passed through a lot of cities, and finally came to Cangcheng, where the Mu family is located, as a local force, the Mu family has the right to speak here, this Cangcheng is built quite huge, but it is not the kind of iron barrel-like city wall barrier, on the contrary, there is the fragrance of birds and flowers everywhere.
Cangcheng is full of strange flowers and trees, which is related to the unique gardening skills of their family, and the whole Mu family is also best at this, which can match all kinds of exotic flowers and plants together, and even use this to set up a formation, and then it is highly sought after by almost all Zhongzhou forces.
Their limelight is second only to Shenwumen and the Sun family, Shenwumen is not to say how strong they are, but because they are best at refining weapons, and the Sun family is because of the bull's ear of alchemy in Zhongzhou.
The fact that the Mu family can be ranked behind them shows its influence in Zhongzhou, and more importantly, all forces are also proud to be able to marry the daughter of the Mu family, after all, every Mu family is good at gardening, especially women.
And I don't know what happened to the Mu family, the men of the Mu family are scarce, but there are many women, so the men are mostly trained as the successors of the family, and the women are used as technicians to inherit the gardening method.
However, not every Mu family member can become a technician, this also has a lot to do with talent, the Mu family is mostly a vein of wood and water, and occasionally there will be a vein of wood and earth or golden fire.
However, only the children of the Mu Shui Mai family are qualified to become technicians, and the children of the family who really master the art of the Mu family are qualified to contact the core techniques of the Mu family, and these women, if they want to get married, the man must join the Mu family, and therefore the Mu family has continued to this day, and no one has ever said that they have surpassed the Mu family in gardening.
As soon as you enter the boundary of Cangcheng, you can feel the peculiar scene like the four seasons, the four sides of the southeast and northwest have their own characteristics, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the green water and green mountains, the willows and flowers are bright.
This Cangcheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side is surrounded by water, the area of Cangcheng is very huge, even larger than these mountains combined, and the Mu family is surrounded by three mountains.
Lou Yi fell at the west gate of Cangcheng, and a group of four people walked into Cangcheng, which made Lou Yi feel strange that Cangcheng really did not have a city wall, and the outermost thing constituted was a special forest wall, which he had seen, and the unique Longcui spruce tree in Dongzhou.
These trees are very tall, even the seedlings are more than ten feet tall, and what is even more peculiar is that they grow side by side, forming a natural wooden wall, and the skin texture is so hard that ordinary soldiers can't help them.
In addition, these dragon spruce trees are often accompanied by green horned navel vines, a vine that is no less than the golden snake vine, and they will grow upwards along the dragon green spruce tree, while helping to defend against any creatures that dare to attack the dragon green spruce.
Therefore, unless a monk enters directly from above or through the city gate, any woodland will be denied by the dragon green spruce tree.
However, the city gate of this Cangcheng is indeed different, a large area, there must be nearly a hundred zhang wide, and there is no towering thick city gate, but there are only two rows of fences to block, and there are monks standing on both sides to check the passers-by.
This fence is not a precious thing, it is an ordinary kind of rose hedge, at most it can only be regarded as an ornament, and there is no forbidden protection around, I have to say that the heart of this Mu family is really big......
After confirming the identity, the four of them walked into Cangcheng, where the architectural style is mostly gardens, almost every household has a two-story courtyard inside and outside, surrounded by trees outside the courtyard, it can be seen that gardening here is a style, and it is a place that pays attention to elegant lifestyle.
Almost every street is a world of plants, and even the floor tiles in the middle of the street are carved with all kinds of flowers and various precious plants.
The Mu family is surrounded by three mountains, so Lou Yi took them directly to the Mu family, but when they arrived at the Mu family, they were blocked by the guards.
At this time, Lou Yi thought of something, the jade pendant that Mu Mingzhen gave him at the beginning, there was a Mou character engraved on it, which should be a token of the Mu family.
So he took out the jade pendant from the Naxu ring, shook it in front of the guards guarding the door, and asked, "Can this enter?"
The moment the guard saw the token, his whole body trembled obviously, and then he clenched his fists and said, "Wait a minute, I'll report to the master!"
Then the guard turned around and went back inside, and a few of them continued to wait in place, during which Lou Yi looked around, this place chosen by the Mu family is really good, surrounded by water on three sides, with water on one strip, an excellent place.
However, what he cared more about was that when he took out the jade pendant, he clearly felt the aura emanating from the inside of the jade pendant, which actually echoed the formation enchantment here, it seemed that this jade pendant was indeed of extraordinary value, which was evident from the performance of the guard.
When the guards went to spread the word, a large group of people came in the distance, Lou Yi didn't know who these people were, but looking at their cultivation, he knew that this was a great force.
There were a total of two flying sedan chairs, each pulled by two red hairy xiu, and fell in front of the gate of the Mu family, but what Lou Yi didn't expect was that the people inside didn't even come out, and these guards actually let them go.
Shen Wansan couldn't get angry, went up to reason with the guards who let him go, pointed to the other party's nose and said, "What do you mean?"
The guard gave him a blank look and said, "Who is sitting in that sedan chair of your size?"
"Who's it?!" Shen Wansan choked.
"Be careful when you speak, be careful of losing your head!" the guard threatened.
Shen Wansan still wanted to step forward to theorize, but at this time, Song Zhong suddenly stepped forward and looked at the guard with cold eyes, the latter swallowed his saliva fiercely, and Song Zhong's eyes looked at him as if he was looking at a dead man, making his back soaked with sweat.
Lou Yi hurriedly stepped forward to make a round, and asked at the same time, "This little brother, who went in just now?"
The guard breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "In the sedan chair in front is our Mu family's third aunt Sun Yixing, and in the back is Master Sun Siyao, the holy hand of the Sun family's medical dao. ”
Lou Yi nodded, and immediately understood, when he came before, Shen Wansan had told him that Mu Mingzhen had been unconscious for a hundred years, but this news had been concealed and never exposed.
But now the Mu family seems to feel that it has been so long, and Mu Mingzhen has no movement, so he publicized the matter, and summoned all kinds of doctors to come to the Mu family for consultation, you must know that the Mu family is a gardening family, who doesn't want to make friends with it, so the famous doctors from all over Zhongzhou moved when they heard the wind and gathered in the Mu family.
When they were thinking about how to properly solve this matter, someone came from the direction of the Mu family, a well-dressed middle-aged man with a simple woman, came to them, the woman looked at the four people, and finally locked her eyes on Lou Yi, to be precise, the jade pendant he was holding in his hand.
For a while, the woman was emotionally out of control, and she actually pounced on Lou Yi, and was about to do it without saying a word, Lou Yi frowned and didn't know what was going on, and she couldn't do it directly, so she could only passively dodge around.
Everyone on the side was stunned when they saw this scene, especially Shen Wansan, who couldn't figure out which one this was playing at the moment.
"Enough, woman!" stopped the middle-aged man, and the woman stopped the pursuit, and returned to him crying, sobbing to herself.
The middle-aged man looked at the four people present, Lou Yi hugged his fists a little embarrassed, "The junior Lu Kang is a friend of Miss Mu, and when he learned that Miss Mu was sick, he specially came to visit, Mrs. Ling, what ......is this?"
"You are talking nonsense, it must be something you did, otherwise my daughter will be unconscious not long after she came back from that broken island, it must be you! You will return my daughter's life!!" The woman cried very sadly, making Lou Yi feel a little at a loss.
"Alright, ma'am, don't make trouble here!" the middle-aged man whispered to him.
"I made a mess, where did I make a mess, if it wasn't for this kid who took Zhen'er's talisman jade pendant, how could Zhen'er end up like this, Xianggong, you have to be Zhen'er's master......" The woman still cried to herself.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the middle-aged man had to sigh and say to Lou Yi, "Lu Xiaoyou, can you show me this jade pendant?"
Lou Yi hurriedly presented the jade pendant with both hands, Shen Wansan wanted to speak, but Lou Yi made a look, and at this moment, a large group of people came from behind, and in a blink of an eye, they came close, and a voice came from the flying magic weapon, "Auntie, who is it that makes you angry!"
