Chapter 226: Pingbo City

At the turn of spring and summer, the mountains and plains are full of flowers and greenery. The tall willows beside the official road, hanging down countless green silks, swaying with the wind diligently, also seem to welcome people from afar.

Yun Zheng and the others looked at the huge city in the distance. On the other side of the city is the sea of sea and sky.

"It's finally here!" Luo Yuru sighed and said, "We're finally safe!" Then looked at the sea in the distance, and said happily: "Wow, this is the sea? It's really big! It's so beautiful." ”

The women were so excited that they couldn't wait to get to the beach in one step.

"Okay! Let's go to the city first! I have a chance to see the sea when I turn around!" Yun Zheng said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Luo Yuru was overjoyed and ran out first.

Pingbo City is a large coastal city, and its scale is not inferior to Jingdu, but it is only the county seat of Lianyun County of Chu State.

Walking in the city, you can smell the strong smell of wet and salty sea. As soon as she found an inn to settle in, Luo Yuru said eagerly: "Senior brother, let's go to the beach too!"

Although Duanmu Zi and the others did not speak, they also looked at Yun Zheng with expectant eyes. Yun Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, and said, "Okay, let's clean up, and in an hour, we'll go!"

Everyone was very happy and hurried back to the house to freshen up.

Yun Zheng smiled and shook his head. Honestly, he wanted to see it too! But it was easy for him to clean up, and with a trick to get rid of the dust, his body would be clean. I sat downstairs in the lobby and waited for them to come down.

Finally, the women walked down slowly. Although he still maintains his appearance after disguise, he has spent a lot of effort on his clothes and accessories.

Yun Zheng didn't know much about this, just praised it for being good-looking, and beckoned everyone to go out.

Luo Yuru smiled in a low voice and said to Duanmu Zi: "Haha, dress up in white! Senior Brother Yun doesn't look at it much?"

Duanmu Zi's face was hot, and he turned his head and said shyly: "People didn't show him!"

They just followed the main road and walked towards the sea, but in front of them were tall walls. If you want to get to the beach, you have to go out of the city, and you will have to walk four or five miles to get there.

While collecting the money, the monk guarding the door kindly reminded: "If you want to go, just go to the pier and have a look! Don't go to the seaside on the left and right! Beware of the Kraken!"

"Kraken?" several people were taken aback.

"Dare to ask what a kraken is!" Yun Zheng asked.

"Hahaha, the Kraken doesn't know?" said with a smile to the passers-by who were waiting: "The Kraken is the monster beast in the sea!

"Oh!" several people were interested, "Is this kraken very powerful?" Yun Zheng said with a smile.

"Awesome! awesome!" the man shook his head and said, "It's usually fine, but it's just one and two ends, it's okay to say." If it is on these three days of the full moon night every month, the demon beasts in the sea will rush to the shore in waves, less than a dozen, more than hundreds. In some years, there will be a once-in-a-century beast tide, and it will be difficult to say! Once upon a time, even Pingbo City was attacked by the Kraken!" The old man seemed to remember the bad memories of the past, and couldn't help but shudder.

The monk guarding the gate was not happy! He shouted loudly: "What nonsense, do you want to go out of the city? If you don't leave, go back!"

The old man ate and drank from him, hurriedly lowered his head, and hurried out of the city.

Yun Zheng paid the money and took the five out of the city. Quickly caught up with the old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you see that we are also new here, and we don't understand anything." So, let's find a place to sit down and I'll invite you to drink. Why don't you tell us these stories about our customs?"

The old man laughed when he heard this. At this point, it's time for lunch, so it's naturally good to be able to mix a meal.

The wharf is just ahead, and there are also many restaurants and warehouses on the shore. Although it is said that going to sea is dangerous, there are risks and benefits, and the sea is actually very rich. Not to mention that the ferocious sea beasts are full of treasures and are deeply loved by monks. It is the ordinary seafood, coral pearls, tortoiseshell, etc., which are also the things that are deeply loved by ordinary dignitaries.

Therefore, although it is said that there are sea beasts infested, there are still many people who go to sea because of the high income from entering the sea. However, in order to reduce the risk, few people generally go to the deep sea. Even monks must have special spirit ships, and they dare to go into the deep sea only after struggling with a large number of people and horses.

"That's right!" Yun Zheng poured him full of wine, "but I've heard that there are countless islands in the depths of the sea, so what should people do if they go there?"

The old man drank the wine in his glass and said with a smile: "Crossing the sea and traveling far away, it is estimated that no one in Pingbo City dares to undertake this matter." The old men of those islands had heard about it when they were young, at least five or six thousand miles away from here. There are flying krakens in the sky, and the unpredictable weather, and almost no one is heard of getting by. Even if those adults go to sea, that is, run thousands of miles and 800 miles, it will come to an end. ”

Yun Zheng suppressed the churning thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are treasures everywhere there! There are immortal immortals, all kinds of strange flowers and spiritual grasses, eating one can prolong life, and all diseases will not invade." ”

"Haha!" the old man laughed, "yes, old man, I thought so when I was younger. But after seeing the sea beast a few times, I realized that this was a dream at all!"

"Those sea beasts are so fierce! Some look like big fish, but they are full of fangs, even if they are big boats. He pointed to a three-masted ship docked outside the dock and said, "One bite will break in two! There is an even more ferocious one, full of slender tentacles, which grab everything and drag it into the sea, and drown before eating." It's miserable!"

"A few young people, just go around the beach and have fun, but don't go to sea! It's too dangerous!" the old man instructed.

After eating and drinking, the old man went satisfied. Yun Zheng settled the account and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the dock and take a look!"

At noon, the pier looks very clean. After asking the person next to me, I found out that every morning is the busiest time for the dock. Now it's either out to sea or still resting, that's why it's so deserted.

After a little inquiry, I turned out to be the same as the old man said. Seeing that there was nothing special to gain, a few people casually turned around and walked towards the shore outside the dock.

Climb over a rugged cliff and below is a white sand beach, like a crescent moon between the green and blue sea.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Luo Yuru suddenly rushed down with her sword. A few people laughed, and Edgeworth followed, landing on the fine sand.

On the lookout in the distance, someone snorted in surprise. When I looked through the clairvoyant mirror, I saw several young men and women, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Wow, it's so fun!" Luo Yuru came out of the cage and chirped happily. I threw off my shoes and went to the sea.

Layers of waves rolled in, rolling up thousands of piles of snow, like countless white birds spreading their wings and flying together.

"Hey, Senior Sister, be careful!" Duanmu Zi shouted.

"Giggles!" Luo Yuru shouted with a smile: "Duanmu, Senior Sister Shui, Senior Sister Yu, Senior Sister Lin, come on! Haha, there are a lot of little fish!, what is this, what a strange look!" she exclaimed again.

Duanmu Zi glanced at Yun Zheng. Yun Zheng smiled and said, "You guys go too!Pay attention to safety, be careful of sea beasts!"

"Okay, senior brother, then we'll go!" After Yun Zheng's words, he also ran towards Luo Yuru with a grin.

Duanmu Zi didn't leave, squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Senior brother won't come?"

"I'll just walk here!" Yun Zheng also kicked off his shoes and walked barefoot on the beach, and a chill came up.

"Hey, what is this?" he stepped on something hard, and a little awkward. Squatted down and dug it out, but it was a palm-sized, strangely shaped and colorful shell.

"It's so pretty!" Duanmu Zi praised.

"Then junior sister take it and play with it!" Yun Zheng handed it over with a smile. Duanmu Zi was slightly startled, and his heart was both happy and shy. "Senior brother really gave it to me!" she felt like a deer in her heart.

"Yes, it's just a shell, there are a lot of them on this beach!" Yun Zheng looked left and right and said with a smile.

"That's different! This is the first shell that Senior Brother has found!" Duanmu Zi took the shell, summoned a stream of seawater, washed the sand off it, and carefully put it away in a storage bag.

"Let's go, senior brother, let's keep looking!" she said with a happy smile.

The rest of the people also discovered the gift of the sea, and shouted and searched everywhere. Among them, Luo Yuru has the loudest voice. She shouted, "Duanmu, come on, there are so many big shells here! Ha, there's a piece of coral here!"

A few of them had been wandering around the beach, packing up a bunch of knick-knacks like shell corals. Luo Yuru also found a lot of seaweed and seafood on the reef at the end of the beach. She didn't recognize them all, but she had eaten them all at noon and put them away.

As the sun sets, the afterglow reflects off the sea, and the white waves flip to Venus.

"A touch of the remnant sun returns to the blue sea, and 10,000 points of Venus leap over the waves!" Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Good poetry, good poetry!" said someone who suddenly heard it clapping and laughing on the cliff. Yun Zheng had actually discovered that there was someone on it a long time ago, but firstly, that person's cultivation was far inferior to his own, and secondly, there was no hostility. This is not his own territory, can he not let others come? As long as he has no malicious intentions, let him be.

"Daoist friends praise it!" Yun Zheng said with a smile.

The sword fell on the cliff, and the man greeted him with a smile, and said, "Pingbo Mansion Valley is very useful, I have seen all fellow Daoists!"

"The ancient road is friendly!" Yun Zheng returned the salute.

"I don't know what to call you?" asked Gu Dayong with a smile.

"The contemptible surname is Yun, these are my junior sisters! We have been deep in the mountains before, and we have never seen the sea!

"Hahaha, you fellow Daoists are innocent, they are innocent, what's so ridiculous!" Gu Dayong said with a smile: "You think it's the first time you have arrived in Pingbo City, I don't know if you already have a place to stay? It's not good, but it's clean. ”

"Thank you Gu Dao for your kindness! We have already booked the inn!" Yun Zheng thanked with a smile.
