Volume 2 The Human World Chapter 24: The Capital
On a midsummer afternoon, the golden sunlight shines through the tall and lush metasequoia trees and shines into the shops along the street.
In the clear blue sky, the clouds change their faces. At the lake's edge, crowds of tourists admire the lotus flowers in full bloom.
On the bridge, from time to time, young boys and girls walked hand in hand, they looked at the mandarin ducks frolicking in the water, and responded to the sentence "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals".
The capital in April can be described as very lively, and the streets are full of performers and jugglers.
"Big buns just out of the pot!" shouted the street vendor and lifted the lid. In an instant, the heat came out. When the heat dissipates, the big, round and white buns are neatly placed in the cage drawer, and the buns are thin and tender, making people salivate at a glance. Some children who had just learned to walk passed by, looking at the buns in the cage drawer, and kept swallowing their saliva.
Opposite, is an antique shop. The shopkeeper had a mustache, squinted eyes, and wore a landlord's hat, looking like a profiteer. I saw that a man who looked like a rich boy swaggered in.
"Oh, this boy, come to the shop, it's shining!" the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, and without waiting for the customer to speak, he introduced the goods himself.
The shopkeeper carefully took out a necklace and said, "Do you know the origin of this chain?"
The guest shook his head.
The shopkeeper continued: "This is a necklace made by Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng himself, and it is said that when he was still the crown prince, he gave it to a woman as a token of love............
After leaving the antique shop, a few steps further on, it is a lively juggling.
I saw a man shirtless and his face was red. He held the torch in his left hand, waved it a few times, and then blew it hard, and in an instant, the fire flew out for several meters.
"Okay! another one!" the crowd of onlookers applauded.
A few steps further, a group of people surrounded the front of the water.
Hmmm, what kind of livelihood is that? Oh. It turned out to be two performing martial arts.
"Fellow villagers, our two brothers have practiced martial arts since childhood, and now they have practiced a good skill!
With that, one of them stretched out his fists and feet, flipped over a dozen heels in a row, and then jumped into the air and jumped steadily onto the table.
The other roared and slammed his hand at the brick, which split in half.
"Good!" the audience burst into thunderous applause.
After crossing the bridge, it is the famous green building in the capital.
"Uncle, come in and play for a while!" In front of the door, several flowery women scratched their heads from time to time, showing their charm.
On the street in front of the Qinglou, there are all kinds of inns, large and small.
In the inn, the shopkeeper was wearing a white towel, sweating profusely, running back and forth. It's just that there is an endless stream of guests staying in the hotel, and they can't be busy.
Opposite the inn, is a tea shed, many visitors are tired of walking, they rest here, want to serve a pot of tea, cool and quench their thirst. After drinking, fan the fan, chat with friends, and watch the bustling pedestrians, which is a lot of fun.
At this time, two young men in white came here, wiped their chairs and sat down.
"Oh, two sons!" Xiao Er'er walked over with a smile on his face.
"A pot of dragon wells, a plate of dim sum. One of them said.
"Okay!"
These two people have handsome faces, delicate facial features, and are dressed as scholars, without the weakness of scholars, but with more heroism.
"I said Jiro Zhenjun. Another scholar spoke: "Why did you make Lao Sun look like this?"
"Haha!" Yang Jian smiled and said, "Great Sage, if you don't change your appearance, won't you want to frighten the pedestrians here." ”
"Yes!" Sun Wukong waved his hand and said, "The capital in this world looks good." ”
"That's it. Yang Jian slapped his fan twice and said, "This capital is like the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the Heavenly Realm, where the emperor stays, and naturally it is the most lively place in the world." ”
As he spoke, tea and snacks had already arrived.
Yang Jian poured a cup of tea and was about to drink it, but found that Sun Wukong was holding a cup of tea, his hand stopped in mid-air, and the whole person was motionless.
"Great Sage?" Yang Jian called Sun Wukong.
No response.
"Great Sage!" Yang Jian raised his voice.
"Huh?" Sun Wukong came back to his senses, looked at Yang Jian blankly, and asked a little absent-mindedly, "What's wrong?"
"Seeing that you are not in the right state, is there anything wrong?" Yang Jian asked.
"Ah, something else comes to mind. Sun Wukong put down the teacup.
"Still thinking about the demons?" asked Yang Jian.
"Yes!" said Sun Wukong.
"The demon has been dead for more than a year, Master Tang Seng has successfully reincarnated, Bigan has also been reincarnated, the Jade Emperor and all the immortals have returned to their positions, the Three Realms are too peaceful, and they are all right. Yang Jian said.
"However, there are still many things that don't make sense. Sun Wukong frowned.
"Where?"
"First of all, what exactly is the white powder in the Shura Purgatory, the Buddha doesn't even know. Second, where did he go in the days when the Jade Emperor disappeared? Every time I asked him, he would push back and say some ambiguous things. Thirdly, under the great river of the Hungry Ghost Dao, there is also the Evil Mirror Hell, why are there two Hades? Finally, demons like the White Bone Spirit were killed by Lao Sun when they were learning the scriptures, why did they suddenly come back to life? And their skills are so much stronger?" After speaking, Sun Wukong drank all the tea in his hand.
"Having said that, the Demon is dead, and the Great Sage doesn't need to worry too much. You and I came to the capital this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers and relax. Yang Jian said with a smile.
"Okay, but Lao Sun is really not interested in this. Sun Wukong said.
"Eh, Great Sage. There are many delicacies in the capital, although it is not as good as the peach elixir, but it also has a different flavor, how about you and I go to taste it. Yang Jian said.
"So good!" Sun Wukong slapped his thigh.
"Boom!" At this moment, the thunder resounded in the sky, and the sky, which had been clear just now, suddenly became cloudy, and a storm was coming.
