Niu Yuqiao occasionally looked at Ye Yingsong, he was very bored by himself, as if he was deliberately walking behind.

Ye Yingsong was not very enthusiastic either, and didn't say anything along the way.

A lot of people always like to joke about him.

Within a few days, the group arrived in Xiangxi, which is not far from Xixia Villa.

They are all a group of fun-loving people, especially the three people who don't have much money and the Huangshan faction, who have never been to the world-famous Phoenix Ancient City in Xiangxi, and they all want to have a fun.

Four people said they wanted to play, although not more than half, but everyone's interest was aroused, and they all agreed to play first and then set off. Anyway, there is still time, and the distance is not far away.

The group arrived at the ancient city of Xiangxi.

The ancient city of Xiangxi is located in the southwest of Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hunan Province.

The cultural attractions include the former residence and cemetery of Shen Congwen, the former residence of Xiong Xiling, the North Gate Tower, the East Gate Tower, the city wall connecting the two city towers, the Hongqiao, the Ten Thousand Towers, the Wenchang Pavilion, etc.

There are 68 cultural relics and ancient buildings in the ancient city, 116 ancient ruins, more than 120 characteristic dwellings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and more than 30 temples and pavilions, which is the county with the largest number of existing cultural relics and buildings in southwest China.

There are also more than 200 quaint stone streets in the city.

The natural landscape has Nanhua Mountain in the National Forest Park, the Qiliang Cave integrating "strange, dangerous, beautiful and steep", and the eight major views of the Phoenix:

Dongling Yinghui, Nanhua Diecui, Qifeng Tingxiu, Xiqiao Night Moon, Longtan Fishing Fire, Fange Huitao, Mountain Temple Morning Bell, Lanjing Qiao Song.

There are also beautiful Tuojiang River and stilted buildings with various styles. Folding slate old street, this is a bluestone slab street less than five meters wide, from the entrance to the west, through the cross street, Dongzheng Street, Xizheng Street, Huilong Pavilion, Yingshaochong, steep mountain La, Jieguan Pavilion, is the most prosperous commercial street in Phoenix.

It was inconvenient for a group of people to live in the most prosperous ancient city, so they found a very ordinary hotel on the hill behind the ancient city to stay.

Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why this Phoenix Ancient City is called Phoenix Ancient City is that there is a mountain behind this small city that is not small or big, and the mountain resembles a phoenix.

This small city is not what it used to be, because of Shen Congwen's novel "Border City", tourists from all over the world really understand.

This previously little-known city is flocked to the city with an unexpectedly large number of tourists from all over the world, exceeding a million people every day.

This small city has become the city that never sleeps in the East, known as the Ladu Vegas of the East, and this small city has become a world-class historical and cultural city.

In order to alleviate the traffic pressure, in addition to opening up several avenues along the river, it is also on the hill five kilometers behind Phoenix.

In ancient times, a 30-meter-wide ancient tea horse road was built, which could only be used for people, animals, horses and carts to pass, and motor vehicles could not go on this avenue.

Those who are economically minded have built many inns for people and animals to rest, eat and stay on both sides of this avenue, and have also prepared antique vehicles, sedan chairs, and horses for travelers to ride and rent.

To experience life, it is indeed close and convenient to enter and exit from here, especially in the martial arts, people like to take this avenue. So the back avenue is very lively.

Shen Lang and his party lived in a hotel a little far from the ancient city on this ancient tea horse road.

This inn is called Wanlixing Tea Horse Hotel, which has everything available, but it is a little farther away, but overall it is very convenient.

Everyone avoided attracting too many people's attention, did not go out during the day, and waited until the evening to go out.

From the owner of the Wanlixing Tea Horse Hotel, I heard that the most prosperous and fun place in this small city is the folding stone old street.

Everyone couldn't hold it anymore, especially when they made a lot of money and didn't have much money, they all went to the streets of the ancient city.

It was just after dark, and they arrived at the old street of folding slates. This is a bluestone street less than five meters wide, and as expected, this street is the most prosperous commercial street in Phoenix.

As soon as everyone came to the street, they looked east and west, delicious food, fun, good looks, good sounds, everything, everyone was dazzled.

In particular, the old stone slabs, wooden houses, and antique decorations on the street make everyone feast their eyes.

Ye Yingsong of the Huangshan faction has never been so happy, his interest in shopping is stronger than others, and he feels fun and novel about everything, especially when he wears it, he always has to stop for a long time.

Inexplicably, he would stand in front of some flower clothes that sell cosmetics and girls love to wear, stay for a long time and not move his feet, and let Ye Yingfeng urge him several times before leaving.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at him, saying that he looked like a woman, and he didn't object to it. Hua Duo is like a local expert, constantly introducing everything here.

In fact, he had heard it from the innkeeper an hour earlier.

After an hour or two, everyone felt a little tired and didn't want to go any further.

Only Ye Yingsong had no intention of calling it a day, and most of the people felt that their stomachs were sending a signal for help, and they unanimously decided to fill their stomachs first.

Everyone found a restaurant on the side of the street called Tao Sheng Yi Restaurant, which is also a must-visit place recommended by the owner of their accommodation.

This restaurant, facing the street, surrounded by water on three sides, has six floors, in fact, it was a stilted building renovated, but the decoration is particularly rich in local characteristics, and the humanistic characteristics of Hunan are completely displayed.

There are three floors at the bottom, but because of its short location, the restaurant owner does not use it to set up tables and chairs to entertain guests, and mainly uses this and the upper three floors of the street to entertain guests.

As long as it is past noon, you can't eat at this restaurant, because the business is booming and there are too many customers, so you have to book in advance.

Fortunately, the owner of the house where they stayed had the phone number of the restaurant and booked it for him before breakfast.

The two large rooms parallel to the street were already full, and they went up to the second floor, and there were only two tables left on the second floor, one of which must have been booked by them.

They found the predetermined table number, which was a large round table, in the left rear of the hall on the second floor, by a corner, facing the water on both sides, which could seat ten to fifteen people, and they only had ten, so it was more suitable to sit.

Ye Yingsong walked at the back, and when everyone was seated, he sat on a chair on the right side where he could watch the water flow downstairs, and Shen Lang sat opposite him. Sitting here, you can see the water flowing downstairs and the view of the mountain opposite.

The other one is to the right of theirs.

After a while, the boss began to serve the food, and everyone drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl, and they were very happy, and while drinking and eating meat, they talked about what they had seen and heard today.

They had been eating for more than an hour before the guests at the next table arrived.

Due to the late arrival of the guests at this table, everyone took a second look.

There was a man and a woman, the man was about fifty years old, and the woman looked to be in her thirties and less than forty years old.

But both of them are very well maintained, especially the woman is well maintained, there are no wrinkles on the face, the face shape and figure are very thin, and the approximate age can be seen from only a few fine crow's feet;

The man's complexion is also quite white, but there is no smile on his face, and he looks fierce.

Shen Lang felt as if he had seen these two people somewhere, and he tried to search his brain for the impressions of these two people.

Where have the men's eyes been seen, fierce, and the women's eyes are also a little special, both soul-dementoring and cunning.

finally remembered that this is when he was in South China, the two divorced, didn't the woman run away?

When the man was stopped by Shen Lang, this was the look in his eyes, yes.

The two also designed to steal his wallet and make him lose face and eat the overlord meal, but fortunately, Jia Quancai relieved him.

What is the origin of these two people? Shen Lang pondered hard.

The two people came to the store, he seemed to be familiar with each other, and when he thought about it, these two people were the two who stole his wallet in South China.

Since his wallet was stolen that time, he has asked people about this thief in the martial arts, and he has also asked his master about it after returning to the snow mountain.

According to people in the martial arts, in today's martial arts, there are really only two people who are worthy of being thieves.

The two were a husband and wife, the man's name was Yang Santai, nicknamed the Immortal Taoist, and the woman's name was Yin Sanniang, nicknamed Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

The two of them have three major tricks, one of the big tricks is stealing people, the second trick is disguise, the third trick is being able to recognize things at night, and then in the dark night, both of them can walk and do things as if they were in the daytime.

No one knows the real age of these two people, and it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the age of the man is about 60 years old, and the age of the woman is slightly younger, about 55 years old.

Both of them have a high level of disguise skills and are good at maintenance, so they look younger.

Sometimes the men disguise themselves as young men around 30 years old, and the women even disguise themselves as 18-year-old girls, and ordinary people really can't see it, and no one knows their real age.

Shen Lang looked at the two of them and sat down at a small square table next to their table.

Both of them sat on the side of the water outside, the immortal Taoist on the right, and the thousand-armed Guanyin Sanniang on the left, close to Ye Yingsong.

As soon as the two sat down, the immortal shouted to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, are our dishes ready? ”

The shopkeeper saw that the last table of customers were coming, and he happened to come out, and when he saw the guests calling him, he immediately responded:

"Okay, here's coming, here's coming, guest wait. ”

Because there are so many guests, the food is served on the ground one by one at each table, so that each table of guests has something to eat, and it will not wait too long.

The old Taoist was waiting for the restaurant to serve the food in his free time, and he had nothing to do, so he leaned on the railing to watch the flowing water of the small river in front of him, and after a while, he suddenly said to the woman sitting opposite him:

"Madam, I haven't fished for you for a long time, do you want to see your husband fishing for you?"

"You coax me again, when have you ever caught a fish for me to eat?"

"Your memory has really declined, you have amnesia, didn't I fish once by the Yellow River the year before last?

I caught a lot of fish that time, and I made it in a crockpot for you to eat, and you really forgot?"

"Oh, I remember, that time, you fished for a long time, and you caught a half-catty Yellow River carp, and the water was added a lot, mainly for me to drink soup, and I ate your fish that time, I pulled my stomach for half a month, and I won't forget, and I can't forget if I want to.

You're embarrassed to say it. ”

"Don't expose my old secret, I'll keep you this time to taste fresh fish soup, believe it or not?"
