Chapter 142 The Great Gift
Dou Changan skillfully sandwiched the roasted wild vegetables to the banana leaves, and took out a white porcelain vial from his arms, looking at the appearance alone, it should not be a medicine bottle, Dou Changan flipped the porcelain bottle and shook his wrist, going back and forth on each wild vegetable, and the white crystals that were as fine as sand fell down, adding a point of embellishment to the so-so roasted wild vegetables.
"Senior Dou, where did you get the salt?" Bai Yun said with some surprise.
The evenly distributed salt grains on the roasted wild vegetables made this delicacy particularly appetizing against the backdrop of the flames, Dou Changan stopped the movements in his hand and put away the bottle of salt that seemed to him to be more expensive than gold: "I begged for a bottle of salt in exchange for a bottle of salt at the tea house where I rested a few nights ago." β
Bai Yun couldn't cry or laugh, a meal of wine for a meal of salt, no matter how you calculate it, it was a loss-making business, but Dou Chang'an was stunned to become a big bargain that was not exchanged, which was the same as his idea of exchanging salt for chicken legs in Yunmengze.
Bai Yun was about to open his mouth to ask about Changsheng Town, but Dou Changan brought steaming roasted wild vegetables, as if he intended to block his mouth, Bai Yun had to reach out and take the banana leaves containing the roasted wild vegetables, Dou Changan bent down and picked up another roasted wild vegetables, and handed it to the woman in white who was sitting in a trance in front of the fire, the woman took the banana leaves, but her brows did not stretch for half a minute.
"Taste it, this dish is a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, and the juice of a little wild green plum is especially must. Dou Changan smiled contentedly: "It's just a little bit different from the sale, but this barren mountain and wild mountain is just okay." β
Bai Yun took a small bite and raised his eyebrows.
Zhang Yuruo chewed slowly, and the curved moon eyebrows that were good to see the extreme also quietly stretched.
Dou Changan couldn't wait to taste it, and said with joy: "It's not that my Huang Po sells melons and boasts, the restaurants in Jiangnan can't make me taste like this, this dish is"
Moisturizing things silently, for some reason, there was a faint flow of broken light in the eyes of the middle-aged man.
"She taught me to do it, in Immortal Town. Dou Changan muttered to himself.
The flames danced but he couldn't see Dou Chang'an's face clearly, Bai Yun knew that he was most likely emotionally reminiscent of the old things, but the whereabouts of the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect were very important, Bai Yun risked being scolded by Dou Changan, and interrupted: "Senior Dou, how do you know that the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect are going to Changsheng Town?"
Dou Changan picked up a few dead branches and threw them into the fire, the flames crackled: "Do you remember that among the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect, there was a white-faced Confucian who looked like a sick seedling?" Dou Changan asked.
Bai Yun didn't hesitate at all, nodded and said, "Remember." β
"That group of Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples are all muddy human spirits, for fear that Tianlong will backtrack and design a frame-up, they have already chartered a room on the second floor of the Zuihua Building, on the day of the meeting, the Confucian and another eagle-nosed green shirt disguised as ordinary pilgrims, went to the room that was chartered in advance to find out the depths, and then changed into the robes of the Qingxuan Sword Sect when they arrived, and met with the other two Qingxuan Sword Sect disciples in the Zuihua Building, and went to the agreed room to meet with the Tianlong Society. Dou Changan said eloquently.
"They thought they would be able to do it without knowing it, but I didn't expect to hit it, and you kid was fascinated by the vase in front of the drunken flower building, so I hurried over alone, and overheard the news that they were going to Immortal Town outside the room. Dou Changan said.
Bai Yun ignored Dou Chang'an's teasing, thought for a moment and then continued to ask: "Why do they want to go to Changsheng Town, the meeting of Muru Temple is getting closer and closer, if they can't come as scheduled, won't it ruin Liu Weiji's overall situation?"
"Wrong, Changsheng Town is just the icing on the cake in Liu Weiji's chessboard. Dou Changan shook his head and said.
This remark was quite meaningful, and even Zhang Yuruo turned his face, for fear of missing a word.
"Could it be that there are chess pieces outside the five major sects in this game of chess?" Zhang Yuruo, who had been silent, said.
Dou Changan picked up a piece of roasted wild vegetables with chopsticks made of straw, put it in his mouth and chewed it heavily, nodding in reply.
"Who are the chess pieces in Changsheng Town?" asked Zhang Yuruo.
"Have you ever heard of the Mo family's Leng clan?" Dou Changan said casually.
Zhang Yuruo shook his head lightly: "I have only heard that the Mo family is the state religion of the previous dynasty, but the dynasty has changed in Vientiane, and the Mo family has long been declining and declining, but I have never heard of the Mo family Leng family." β
Bai Yun couldn't help but be stunned, his expression changed slightly, Mo family Leng Clan?
Dou Changan raised his head and said in a flat tone: "At the beginning, the Mo family was in decline and divided into two branches, the Nangong clan and the Leng clan, the Nangong clan and the Nangong clan did not hesitate to get together with the Tianlong Society in order to recover the court, and pressed the Mo family's century-old luck on the king of Wu in Jiangnan, while the Leng clan, which has always been low-key, took root in Changsheng Town. β
If Zhang Yu could hear it, his cold and dusty eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Dou Changan said casually: " The reason why the Nangong clan chose the Tianlong Club as a ladder to revitalize the courtyard is that a large part of the reason why the Tianlong clan chose the Tianlong Club as a ladder to revitalize the courtyard is that the Tianlong Club took the big ship of the Wu Wangfu, and the Nangong clan was willing to exchange the lackeys of the Tianlong Club and the Wu Wangfu for the prosperity of the Mo family, but in recent years, the Nangong clan has anti-guest thoughts, and the Tianlong clan naturally can't tolerate the Nangong clan after eating and drinking, and pooping and urinating on their own territory with their tails, but the Tianlong Club wants to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes without the help of the Mo family, not only to protect the Mo family but also to suppress the Nangong line, so they naturally set their sights on the more low-key Leng lineIt's just that the leader of the Tianlong Society has no friendship with the lord of the Leng family, and the Leng family doesn't seem to have the intention of looking for a mountain back, so the shameless work such as pulling the skin can only be handed over to a third party to do, if you persuade the Leng family, it is naturally a good thing, and if it doesn't work, it won't damage the face of the Tianlong Society. β
"So Liu Wei is planning to be a lobbyist and give the Leng family's gift to the Tianlong Society?" Zhang Yuruo said sharply: "No wonder that white-faced scholar is so determined to win, saying that Qingxuan Sword is just a meeting gift." β
Dou Changan smiled, pointed at Bai Yun and said, "You are much smarter than that kid!" Indeed, Liu Wei has a lot of friendship with the lord of the Leng Clan, the reason why the disciples of the Qingxuan Sword Sect went to Changsheng Town was to go to the Leng Mansion as a lobbyist, and wanted to give this gift to the Tianlong Society, and after Liu Wei had already sat firmly in the position of the Qingxuan Sword Sect, it was also possible for the Tianlong Society to return the Qingxuan Sword, after all, the Qingxuan Sword is the Zhenshan Divine Sword on Qingxuan Mountain, this game is a desperate gamble to bet on the luck of Qingxuan Mountain, fortunately, the monstrous demon power that has been suppressed for thousands of years on Qingxuan Mountain has not been discharged as soon as the Yellow River bursts its embankment, although Liu Wei can still prevent the overflow of monstrous demonic energy, but this is not a long-lasting solution, the gas is overflowing, like a river bursting out, if the demonic energy is raging again, the Qingxuan Sword Sect's family foundation accumulated over the past thousand years will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and even if Liu Weiji becomes the Great Palm Sect at that time, what will happen to him? β
Zhang Yuruo's face was grim, and he continued to speculate: "Anyway, whether it is successful or not, the Qingxuan Sword Sect is determined to pull the Mo family's Leng clan into this troubled water, right?"
Dou Changan looked at the woman in white surprisingly seriously, quite impressive: " The Leng family and the Nangong family have the intention of reviving the Mo family, but without the golden lacquer plaque of the state religion, there is only one way to revitalize the Mo family, and stand on the top of the rivers and lakes again, so the five five elements of the Mo family are particularly important, when the five five elements of the Xuanjia are born at the same time, it is like a flood of immortals entering the world, but it is not easy to get together these five Xuanjia, the Leng family controls the gold Xuanjia in his hands, the Nangong four clans control the fire Xuanjia, and the earth Xuanjia and the wooden armor are buried in the secret underground palace of the Mo family sect, as for the other water armor is included in the Jiangnan Wu Wangfu, the reason why the disciples of the Qingxuanjian faction went to Changsheng TownAs long as the Leng clan is willing to replace the Nangong clan as the Tianlong Society, the Tianlong Club will give the Leng clan a meeting gift, which is the fire armor under the command of the Nangong clan, as long as the Leng clan is loyal to his duties in the future, then the water armor of the dragon in the Wu Wang's mansion will naturally not be a problem. β
Dou Changan continued: "It stands to reason that it is impossible for the Leng clan not to be tempted by such a bloody lure, even if the Leng clan is only on the edge of this troubled water and has never been wet, but it is a beneficial and harmless deal for him Liu Weiji, so he is willing to push the boat down the river to be a lobbyist, not only to gain the trust of the Tianlong Society, but also to pave the way for the return of the Qingxuan Sword in the future, killing two birds with one stone." β
In this way, the situation is much more straightforward, no wonder Liu Weiji, the old fox, is willing to press the Qingxuan Sword, it turns out that he has made a delicate and clear wishful thinking. Bai Yun frowned deeply.
Zhang Yuruo slowly raised his head and looked at the dim night sky, and the last small cluster of starlight was tightly covered by a drifting dark cloud.
The fire flickered, and the night seemed extraordinarily long.
ββββββββββ
The sky was full of white bellies, and Bai Yun and the others left Jiangnan Province and went to Changsheng Town under the leadership of Dou Changan.
"Senior Dou, how long does it take to get from here to Changsheng Town?" Bai Yun asked, looking at the boundless fields with only straw left.
Leaving Gangnam Road, the official road of Pingchuan, the three of them walked through the narrow and muddy paths between the fields.
Dou Changan put his hands behind his back, on both sides of the dirt road are small ditches where farmers divert water to irrigate the rice fields, the path is only for one person to walk, but Dou Changan walks like flying, he looks left and right and replied: "It is estimated that it will take two days." β
Before the words fell, the middle-aged man who walked in front added: "Don't worry, there is a small road in Changsheng Town that can also go straight into the hinterland of Jiangnan, which is a little closer than taking Jiangnan Road, but the road conditions are rugged and inconvenient for pedestrians to enjoy the scenery, so there are few people walking." β
"Senior, I heard you muttering last night, have you been to Immortal Town?"
"Been there. β
"Did you go with the woman?"
"Eventful"
There was a wind blowing, blowing up the dust on the fields.
ββββββββββ
After walking for two days, I was finally able to see the outline of Changsheng Town in the distance.
Dou Chang'an said that Changsheng Town is not called Changsheng, the origin of the name of Changsheng Town is related to an old immortal, according to legend, in the Great Song Dynasty, there is an old immortal in the town to achieve immortality and ascend to the saint, that will be the wax moon in the middle of winter and snow all over the sky, the ascension of the old fairy makes all things grow in adversity, the white town actually appeared the scene of the recovery of all things, the decaying old trees take root and sprout, and the flowers are thousands of purples and thousands of reds, so that this nameless Jiangnan town has a great reputation resounding throughout the Great Song Dynasty, and the gods and immortals soar into the world to grow into a good story that moves the world, so there is a longevityγ Since then, many tourists come to visit, just for a wall of this fairy town, want to dip a touch of the town's fairy spirit, and later Liang Zhao entered the Central Plains, replacing the Great Song Dynasty to become the lord of the world, due to the years of war, the former glory of Changsheng Town has not been in the past, but the name of Changsheng Town has been used.
