Xu Ming looked at the magnificent and majestic Jinling City in front of him, and felt as small as an ant, and he even felt that he was not worthy of stepping into this ancient but prosperous city. Of course, he went in the end.

This city has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the feng shui is excellent, it is said that there is a dragon vein under the city, and the emperor can protect the peace of eternity.

Because of the excessive prosperity of heaven here, the legendary Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, once buried a piece of gold here to suppress the fortune of this place, so Jinling was also named. Later, the Ziyang Sect became more and more prosperous, becoming one of the strongest sects in Dongsheng Prefecture, and the city almost became a subsidiary of the Ziyang Sect, although it was still nominally the capital of the Jing Dynasty. Emperor Xian even considered moving the capital to Jinling, but due to the pressure of neighboring countries and Ziyang Sect, the matter of moving the capital was finally abandoned.

Jinling has been very lively in recent days, and Xu Ming searched for a long time before he found an inn with rooms in a relatively remote corner of the city.

The Ziyang Sect opened the mountain gate to recruit apprentices, which was no less than the enrollment of the most famous Xiangjiang College in the Jing Dynasty, and even surpassed. Even in neighboring countries, there are many immortal cultivators, scattered cultivators, etc., who have brought outstanding sons and nephews in the clan to sign up. For example, the last time the Ziyang Sect opened the mountain gate to recruit apprentices, it was a spring recruitment, and a person named Zhang Ruoxu was depressed and scattered to make a "Spring River Flower Moon Night", so he was called into the imperial court with great fame.

"How is it, are you nervous?" Tang Jinling asked Xu Ming lying on the window. She looked at the flooded streets, and really couldn't imagine that this was just a corner of Jinling. "Why am I, I might be nervous!" Tang Jinling shook his head as he looked at Xu Ming, who was sitting on the bed holding a book upside down, his hands still shaking. He didn't say anything, he stretched out his paw and closed the window—side by side.

"It's okay, there are still a few days before the exam starts, let's go out and have a look!" Tang Jinling took the initiative to jump onto Xu Ming's lap, "I want to go and see how prosperous Jinling is in this world." ”

"Okay, you want me to accompany you. "What the hell!

If you don't go to Jinling on the Qinhuai River, you can't be considered to have been to Jinling. There are many things that Qinhuai River is famous for, and the most famous is of course Qin Huai Bayan, whose reputation has spread throughout Dongsheng Prefecture, and there are even people who come to Qinhuai River to listen to their songs! Qin Huai Bayan is not only able to play, play and sing, but is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everyone has their own rules, which can not be seen just by having money.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Xu Ming, he can't take Tang Jinling to the major brothels along the Qinhuai River to visit and investigate on the spot, is it not fun to play or the wine is not delicious, why should he go to find guilt? But Qinhuai River still has to go. Xu Ming held the cat in his arms and struggled through the crowd.

The first impressed taste of Jinling to Xu Ming is: it is stinky and fragrant, the smell is the smell of human sweat, and the fragrance is the fragrance of fat powder. This Jinling is like the Golden Week on the earth, there are crowds of people everywhere, and the summer has not yet passed, and the dazzling sun makes people's skin hot and painful. Fortunately, there is no need to queue up to visit the Qinhuai River.

Approaching the Qinhuai River, the atmosphere really became different. There was less noisy conversation, more rhythm of silk and bamboo orchestras, and there were many more aromas in the air: flowers, fat powder, and food.

Xu Ming bought a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts and held them in his hands, and one person and one cat ate them while walking, and the chestnut shells were lost all the way.

Before they had gone far, a little kid with a red armband came after him, and handed Xu Ming a bag containing the chestnut shells they had just discarded. "Jinling is my home, and environmental protection depends on everyone?" Xu Ming looked at the words on the garbage bag, and his face was hot and painful.

He apologized to the kid: "I'm sorry. ”

The little boy shook his head and said, "It's okay, remember to pay attention to hygiene in the future." ”

"Where are you from, how are you volunteering here?" Xu Ming leaned down and asked the little boy.

The little boy said proudly, "I'm from the Feather Family, Uncle Dean asked us to come here to teach adults to pay attention to hygiene, and if you send out a bag, you can get an extra candy!"

Xu Ming smiled, he touched the little boy's head and asked, "Awesome, how many bags did you give away today?"

"Ten!" the little boy proudly held out ten fingers. "Come on!" Xu Ming patted the little boy on the head and let him continue to work.

"Actually, this world is no different from our original world, and it is full of warmth!"

Night falls. There was a light rain on the Qinhuai River at night, probably because Jinling was too gentle, Qinhuai was too gentle, and even the rain that was about to enter autumn was gentle, like a filament, and it tickled on people. The lights of the restaurants and tiles on the banks of the river are lit up and colorful. The flower boats of the various families on the river also slowly sailed out, and the sound of singing and dancing accompanied by the sound of the water shaking the pulp was pleasant but not tacky. With various lights reflected on the surface of the river, the Qinhuai River is like a magnificent jewel, showing its beauty under the night sky.

"Chen Yuanyuan's flower boat is out!" I don't know who shouted, and the eyes of the tourists were instantly attracted. There is a lot of excitement, Xu Ming hugged the cat and squeezed it to a crowded place. You can also hear the chatter of tourists in the crowd. "It is said that Chen Yuanyuan is the most mysterious one in Qinhuai Bayan, if you want to see her, you not only have to spend a lot of money, but also make a good poem to see her!" "Then what kind of poem is called a good poem?" "Let's put it this way, Chen Yuanyuan has seen two people in the past three years in Qinhuaihe, one is Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Taibai with a song "Phoenix Tour", and the other is the leader of today's literary world, Dongpo Jushi with a "Linjiang Immortal" ""Is this talent a good poem?" That is, since ancient times, talented people have been matched with beautiful women, and they don't look at how beautiful they are......!"

"So there are literary masters like Li Bai and Su Shi in this world?" Xu Ming originally wanted to copy one or two poems to show off, but now it seems that it is not very good, what if he says that one has already been written. Xu Ming had already squeezed to the front of the crowd at this time, and he didn't have time to think too much about the problem of copying poems, so he looked at the place where Chen Yuanyuan spent the boat with everyone.

Chen Yuanyuan's flower boat is indeed beautiful, and she has lost her reputation as Qin Huai Bayan. This flower boat is more than three feet high, and it floats slowly on the surface of the river, which looks like a tank in Xu Ming's eyes.

"Come out, come out!" I don't know who shouted, only to see the curtain of the ship opened, and a slender figure stepped out of the boat.

"The boat is like a tank, but this person is so beautiful!" Xu Ming couldn't help but admire. I saw that the girl's eyebrows were like willow leaves, her lips were painted with vermilion, her long waterfall hair was scattered over her shoulders, and unlike the other Oirans with gorgeous hair ornaments, there was only a small quaint and even somewhat worn wooden hairpin on her head. But the natural beauty can't be hidden, and her lack of powder is enough to make the entire Qinhuai River dull and colorless.

"Look at you, your eyes are straight!" Tang Jinling's words were a little sour, and she struggled to jump away from Xu Ming's arms.

"There are too many people here, and you will be left behind. Xu Ming smiled and hugged her tighter, "What's the matter, you're jealous?"

"I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense. Whose vinegar do I eat?" Tang Jinling directly denied three times, which made Xu Ming laugh "haha": "No matter how good-looking she is, she is also a prostitute, how can she be worthy of my lazy cat?"

"Who belongs to your family, don't be self-righteous, self-inflicted, and don't know what to do. Tang Jinling was still on the line with Xu Ming, but his body was no longer struggling, and he nested obediently in Xu Ming's arms.

"Who is Lin Gongzi?" Chen Yuanyuan's flower boat slowly docked, and she stood on the bow of the boat and asked to the shore. At this time, a dignified scholar in a white robe walked out of the crowd: "In Xiagu Su Lin Haifeng, I came here to see the girl." ”

"The river is raining and the grass is all together, and the six dynasties are like dreaming birds crying in the air. The ruthless is the most Taicheng willow, and it is still ten miles away. Chen Yuanyuan took out a piece of paper and slowly read out a poem. Chen Yuanyuan's voice was very good, and Xu Ming suddenly wanted to hear her sing a little song. I didn't have any other hobbies when I came to this world, and suddenly I liked listening to people sing songs. Maybe this is related to Xu Ming's "previous life" liking good sounds.

Chen Yuanyuan finished reading the poem and looked at Lin Haifeng: "Good poem, Lin Gongzi, this talent is qualified to enter my flower boat." As he spoke, Chen Yuanyuan stretched out his hand to him. Her hands were very beautiful, and her white jade-like fingers were held in Lin Haifeng's hands like this.

"It's sour, it's sour, it's slippery. Xu Ming, like everyone else, felt very uncomfortable watching such a beautiful girl being pulled into the boat by the hand and possibly doing something embarrassing. That kind of psychology is like "the cabbage I can't arch is arched by someone else". It's very unpleasant, but there is nothing I can do.

At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan's flower boat, which had been slowly rowed to the center of the river, suddenly made an abnormal sound, and everyone looked at the river again, and in an instant, the flower boat exploded, and instantly disappeared, and in the fog and light in the darkness, two figures stood opposite each other on the river. One is slender, it is Chen Yuanyuan, and the other is Lin Haifeng!

"Chen Yuanyuan, you have escaped to this day, how long do you think you can hide!" Lin Haifeng held the long sword in his hand and pointed directly at Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan's breath was vain, and it seemed that she would soon lose even the spiritual power to stand on the surface of the lake, but she still refused to fall: "How many innocent people have you killed and how many innocent families have you destroyed for your unsightly plan! I won't run away, I will take revenge for killing my husband today!"

"Toast and don't eat!" Lin Haifeng shook his wrist, and the cold sword body stabbed towards Chen Yuanyuan's heart.

"Ding!" The moment the tip of the sword pierced Chen Yuanyuan's clothes, a stone hit Lin Haifeng's sword body with a white glow in the dark night, and his sword stabbed into Chen Yuanyuan's shoulder with a crooked twist.

"Da Da Da" A thick and rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and in an instant, a group of soldiers on horseback suddenly appeared in the night. The man at the head rode slowly to the river. The soldiers were wearing armor and helmets, but he wore only a cotton hat with a yellow flower on it, which looked like it was made by a girl.

"The Holy Lord is coming to Jinling in the next few days, I advise you to stop these days, although it is said that Jing and Liang are allies, but you don't give the prince enough face? When the prince starts a fire, it will be easy to destroy you miscellaneous pieces. The man looked at Lin Haifeng, the surface was light and breezy, but the sword in his hand was already half unsheathed.

"Give Commander Zhang a face today, you won't be so lucky next time. Lin Haifeng jumped backwards and landed on a green building by the river, and disappeared in a flash by the night.

"Let's go, close the team!" Immediately, the man squinted at Chen Yuanyuan, who was still standing in the middle of the river, and then retracted his gaze, and gradually disappeared into the night with the people.

"What an eventful season!" Xu Ming came to this world to experience a fight for the first time, although he was only a bystander, but the sword light and sword shadow between the lightning and flint still made him tremble.

This trip to the Ziyang Sect will definitely not be peaceful, Xu Ming sighed for a while, hugged the cat and turned around to return to the inn: "Pippi Cat, let's go!"

"Wait, wait. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind. As soon as Xu Ming turned around, a black shadow fell, so frightened that Xu Ming's hand shook and he threw the cat away. Tang Jinling relied on the instinct of a cat to fall to the ground steadily, raised his head and was about to scold Xu Ming, but saw that there was one more person in Xu Ming's arms - it was Chen Yuanyuan.

Xu Ming looked at Tang Jinling with a sad face: "I really don't blame me!"
