Volume 1 The Phoenix Returns to the Dust and the World Changes Chapter 29 Prelude to the Storm (2)
The servant rushed into the house in a hurry, not daring to slack off.
Although there is not much difference between the people who live on the mountain and the people who walk down the mountain, at most it seems that the former has a better spiritual momentum, but mortals see things only by borrowing a pair of eyes, and it can be seen with the naked eye that only because of the appearance of things can not penetrate into the mystery of the root, the reason why mortals want to practice, and even day and night to break blood and do whatever it takes to become a famous immortal sect.
The path of cultivation is the only way for mortals to obtain great creation, thousands of years ago, there was a Taoist true immortal sword to break through the sky, soar into the nine heavens, and spread as a myth.
There is a great sage of Confucianism who can be shocked by the wind and thunder, tearing the heavenly constitution, and being enshrined as an altar honor.
There is a Buddha who awakens the eight heavenly dragons of the Supreme Treasure and transforms all things in the world with Sanskrit Zen sounds.
There is a martial arts true god giant, who holds the talisman battle banner in one hand, and summons tens of thousands of Yin soldier talisman generals with a wave of his hand, as well as the ancient demonic beast with surging blood.
Therefore, the mountain has always been sincere and fearful of treating the monks on the mountain, for fear of neglecting those children of the heavenly people, if they can form a good relationship with them, it will be an opportunity for the carp to jump the dragon gate in the climbing of the prosperous sect, if you offend those self-confident great sects, there is still your name in the world today, and tomorrow you may be removed from the genealogy of a state and county, although it is a bit exaggerated, but it must not be believed.
In the huge wing, a bloated man was lying on a mass-shaped puff mat woven with a wisp of blood swallow gold wire that was knitted with an unknown length of gold thread, the pampa mat was so well made and rare that even the various county mansions in the imperial capital might not be able to get such a good treasure.
The bloated man snored like thunder, sitting on the side of his bed, wearing a red dress, standing upright, with a rather eye-catching curvature, the standard convex and backward curve, the woman had a face that looked very similar to a fox and a fairy fairy, slightly pursed her red lips, shook a fan with one hand, and stroked the hair hanging between her eyebrows with the other.
"Young master?" cried out the servant cautiously, not daring to glance into the chamber, even though the door was open.
"What's the matter with calling the young master?" the foxy woman turned her head to look outside the door, and there was no strange expression.
"Hui Zhong Meiren, a monk who calls himself Qimang Mountain, said that he told the young master that he had come to visit him today. ”
"Qi Mangshan, what's his name?" the fox woman was a little surprised.
"Back to Zhong Meiren, that person's name is Bai Yu. Then the servant stepped back quickly.
Not out of a cup of tea, the fox woman stepped into the pavilion of her spacious back garden, the pavilion is supported by eight stone pillars with a diameter of one zhang eight large round eaves cover, the eight eaves corners are carved with the jade statue of gluttonous pearls, gluttonous pearls, its intention to swallow the four seas Jingping five continents, indicating the master's heroic spirit.
"Why didn't Zheng Gongzi receive me, but Miss Zhong came in person?" Bai Yu sat leisurely in the stone pavilion and watched the colorful scenery of the garden, holding fragrant tea with one hand, and slowly took a sip, he turned his back to the fox woman, but he knew that the person who came was her.
"This tea in your house is good, compared with the Tiefutu paid tribute by the southern prefectures and counties in our Dao Palace, it is no big problem for me to send someone to Yangzhou to ask for some bitter tea." Bai Yu always stared ahead, with no intention of looking back.
"Bai Gongzi likes it, you can take it back as much as you want, my Zheng Mansion will definitely take care of it. The foxy woman stood outside the pavilion in a dignified and elegant manner.
"Miss Zhong is really a generous person, and Yangzhou didn't come in vain. The monk turned around, placed the jade cup on the round table, and looked at the fox woman with a pleasant expression, which seemed to him to be the same for anyone who came to see him.
"Didn't Bai Gongzi practice in retreat a few days ago? The young master often mentioned you, saying that you were a talented disciple of Taoism, and that he was the proudest of all his friends. ”
"Oh, is it? Young Master Zheng looks up to it like this. ”
"Why did Bai Gongzi think of coming to my Anyang Hou Mansion as a guest today, the territory of Yangzhou is vast, and the prince can enjoy the mountains and rivers?"
"Yangzhou is indeed a rare good place, I have been in your country for more than ten days, especially in these few days, it can be said that it is full of benefits, interesting people, interesting lakes, interesting maids, and an interesting young girl, too many to count. Bai Yu walked down the steps slowly, like a treasure, looking at Bai Yu's smug expression, the foxy woman did not answer.
"If Bai Gongzi has time, it doesn't hurt to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, and there will be more fun in the days to come. ”
"The son can stay and rest in my house these days, and the little woman will go and call the young master. The foxy woman smiled like a flower, and then gave a bending blessing and hurriedly left.
Bai Yu wandered in the garden unhindered, sometimes picking delicate flowers, sometimes rubbing the green leaves, feeling the abundant root aura, his body and mind became more and more relaxed, and the soil of the human life was not as unbearable as the old man on the mountain who had half his foot on the coffin board said, right? Anyway, he Bai Yu thought that everything was okay.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I miss death!"
"Bai Gongzi, can I return the Hou Mansion to your eyes?" A shout came from behind him, and Bai Yu turned around in an instant.
"Don't stop at it, it's not too good, I want to live here for a long time, marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future, and mix in the court as an idle official, wouldn't it be happy. ”
"Bai Gongzi is very fast to follow the customs, if you fancy a girl, just tell me, keep it for you and invite you back to the house, if you want to be an official, I will smash it for you Ten million taels of real money, it is not easy!" The bloated young man strode over, and the silver brocade robe swelled like a gourd.
"Young Master Zheng is really an upright and open-minded person, I have a good idea at that time, and I hope you don't shirk it. ”
"Bai Gongzi came at the right time, I will take you to a good place, I guarantee that you are full of praise!" Zheng Yunxiao looked at him with shining eyes, and the yellow-robed monk did not make any unnecessary movements, but just stretched out his arm to make a look of obedience to the king's orders, which made Zheng Yunxiao smile.

The two of them carried more than ten servants to break into the most prosperous section of Yangzhou Xicheng, the pedestrians on both sides of the road were a little afraid of this pedestrian, like a cow ghost and a snake god, even the local famous Jia Shen rich businessmen were the first to avoid them, along the way Bai Yu almost laughed several times and held back, this Zheng Yunxiao is not loved and close to Yangzhou, my Bai Yu is different, I want to become the existence of thousands of mortals, if everyone is afraid of me, what else can I do to override them?
So I can be in the company of these people? Isn't that digging my own grave?
Bai Yu thought about it calmly, and suddenly became enlightened, but he didn't show it, but instead echoed the fat man with a face full of meat, he decided to go to the next big game of chess, and he wouldn't be easy to show up until the end.
"Where is Young Master Zheng going to take me, is there still a hidden secret valve in this Yangzhou City?"
"After all, Brother Bai has been here for too short a time, unlike me and other head snakes, who are familiar with this Yangzhou, and even find the places in the corners, there are three famous buildings in Yangzhou, Hanhai Mingchen, Fuhuan, and Linglong Tower, the first two are the leading brothels of the Red Mansion, and the latter is an academic pavilion that gathers the famous scholars of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Martial Arts who come to discuss and debate. ”
"Oh, then which famous building are we going to now?" Bai Yu suddenly became interested.
"The ancients had a poem: 'The green building is on the road, and the high gate is closed. Rong Huayao Chaori, who doesn't want to make Yan?' Bai Gongzi can guess?" Zheng Yunxiao, who has always been rude and fierce in appearance, spit out a poem coldly, causing a group of servants to look at each other, this young master was ghosted?
"The green building is far away, and the team is scattered. I don't know tonight, where is the deep lock of the orchid house, across the fairy township?" Bai Yu spoke eloquently, tacitly looking at the man with an abominable face.
"I guess it's Fluff Huan. ”
"Bai Gongzi is really a god. ”
"Since you are a fellow practitioner, why don't you get drunk and rest?"
"There's Brother Lao Zheng leading the way. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Bai is really getting more and more appetizing for me!"
"With each other, Brother Zheng is also a humorous person. ”
The two walked to a place and suddenly stopped, raised their hands to see, the three-word plaque of "Fu Huan" was dazzling, and there were many people at the gate who were rubbing their hands and feet to line up to look, and the two of them swaggered in, and they still walked in surrounded by flowers, and those who were stupidly waiting were stunned.
The so-called privileges are clear at a glance.
————
In the east city of Yangzhou, a rich and wealthy scene, there is an iron pawnshop bursting with the sound of metal forging, a tall middle-aged man wearing a heavy leather cover to block the sparks like fireworks, each hammer smashes down, the momentum sinks, there are two or three stores of the rich man standing outside the courtyard standing left and right wandering, there is a well-known wine shop is overcrowded, a flag outside the house is turning, like a floating cloud.
A person walked on the street with a scroll in his arms, with a hairpin on his head, a purple coat, and fluttering sleeves, quite the style of a scholar.
Near the East City Gate, there were three figures walking towards the city, two men and one woman, one of the three was carrying a sword, one was holding a dust, and the other was empty-handed, the two men looked at the weak crown, but the woman had just touched the threshold of adulthood, the woman was holding a sugar gourd and chewing it with relish, and a fair and petite face was about to smile.
The purple-clothed literati may not have seen the road clearly, and collided with the young woman holding the rock sugar gourd, only to hear a "pop" The rock sugar gourd fell to the ground, and the four dark red hawthorn fruits with the size of jujube were still left on the bamboo stick wrapped in a thick layer of sludge, and the woman's delicate red lips were open, and her eyes looked at the ground in a daze.
"You're in trouble. The sword-bearing man who had been following the young girl closely looked like he had eaten dung.
"I'm sorry, girl, I didn't mean to. The purple-clothed literati was stunned, and urgently bowed his head to admit his mistake, he was really distracted, and when he lost his mind, he should be damned and get into trouble again.
"You scoundrel! Compensation for me rock sugar gourd! One is not enough, I want ten! If you don't pay for it, you are not allowed to leave!" The young girl in her twentieth year of age endured a cry, and her two watery eyes and big eyes actually had a posture of wanting to cry.
The purple-clothed literati are all big now.
