On one side of the tea stall, there is a path that leads to a bamboo forest not far away. The cyan stone slabs are irregularly paved on the path, and in the gaps of the stone slabs, a tuft of grass or a few unknown small flowers emerge from time to time.

A clear stream, meandering out of the jungle, flows into the distance around the tea stalls. The grass and trees on both sides of the stream are luxuriant, and one or two small insects such as grasshoppers and praying mantis pop up in the grass from time to time, adding a lot of interest to this lazy summer afternoon.

At this time, a rider came from afar on the official road, and the man didn't seem to be in a hurry, looking left and right all the way, looking very interested in everything.

"Shop! A pot of tea!"

After a long time, the man slowly arrived in front of the tea stall, jumped off the horse, and said crisply.

This is a young boy who is about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a small hat trimmed with gold wire, born with red lips and white teeth, extremely delicate, but his body is on the thin side, so the ice blue silk robe looks a little loose. However, the delicate embroidery on it shows the preciousness of this dress, and what is even more eye-catching is a ring-shaped jade pendant hanging on his waist, which is crystal clear, warm and smooth, and at a glance it is not ordinary, which immediately attracted the attention of Senior Sister Nie.

"Gotcha!" the shopkeeper walked over with a big teapot, "Guest, what else do you want?"

Brother Gongzi found an empty table and sat down, handed the shopkeeper a piece of broken silver, and said, "No, I brought it myself!" After speaking, he took out a handkerchief from his baggage, opened it, took out many pastries, and ate slowly with tea.

Seeing that many people around him, Senior Sister Nie had already noticed this son-in-law, and the burden bulging on his side, the greed in his eyes was undisguised, and even more, he had begun to whisper, but he himself didn't know it, he was still eating the pastries slowly, thought about it, and called out loud: "That little brother, do you eat candied fruits?"

Brother Gongzi was thinking about his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard someone talking, he looked up a little strangely, looked around, and saw a beautiful sister not far away who was looking at him with a smile.

He pointed to his nose and said, "Sister, are you calling me?"

Senior Sister Nie nodded with a smile, beckoned to him, and said, "Do you want to come and sit together?"

Don't look at this boy's brother, he is not very old, but he is a shrewd person. As soon as I looked up, I found that many people quickly withdrew their gazes, pretending to be casual and continued to eat and drink, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts, looking left and right, they still felt that they were more kind, and decided to accept this sister's invitation, and said with a smile: "It's just a little greedy, then I'm not welcome!" After speaking, he twisted his burden and walked over to this side.

Senior Brother Lu on the side was unhappy, where did the little white face come from, so unfamiliar, delaying the cultivation of his relationship with his junior sister, but he was afraid that his junior sister would be angry, and it was not good to act too obviously, so he could only move to the side, just between the son's brother and the junior sister.

Brother Gongzi, who was about to sit down, was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and then suddenly realized, sat opposite, and said with a smile: "This big brother is majestic and dignified, he must be from a famous family!"

"Senior Brother Lu is the young castle master of Lujiabao in the south of the Yangtze River!" Before Senior Brother Lu could answer, Senior Sister Nie had already opened her mouth with a smile, "He is still a registered disciple of the Qingfeng Dao Master of the Taiyi Sword Sect, and he is also well-known in the rivers and lakes!"

Senior Brother Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect this junior sister who was about to leave him all the way to know him so well, it seems that he had also spent a lot of thought on himself before, he was not unrequited, so he was even more determined in his heart, and asked his father to go to the Qingyue Sword Sect as soon as possible to propose marriage.

"Look up for a long time!" Brother Gongzi arched his hand casually, just when the shopkeeper came over to add tea, and asked casually, "Little second brother, do you know how to go to Yanxia Mountain?"

"Yanxia Mountain?" the shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, "The little one has never heard of Yanxia Mountain!"

Seeing the disappointed look on Gongzi'er's face, Senior Sister Nie said curiously, "What's the matter, do you have something to go to that Yanxia Mountain?"

"Huh?" Brother Gongzi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal, I just heard that the scenery of Yanxia Mountain is beautiful, and the mountain is shrouded in thick fog all year round. ”

"When you say this, the little one remembers! It's really such a mountain, it meets your requirements!"

The shopkeeper, who was about to leave, stopped when he heard his words.

"Really?" Brother Gongzi was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly took out a piece of broken silver from his baggage and handed it over, and asked in a hurry, "Dare to ask the second brother, how to go?"

I didn't think about it, but this action made the big men who had been paying attention to him open their eyes again, this guy seemed to have a lot of good things in his baggage!

Senior Sister Nie saw it in her eyes and secretly sneered.

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand, scratched his head and said, "This is not any news, everyone here knows it." It's just west of Liangzhou City, not far away, but it's not called Yanxia Mountain, and the people here call it Ghost Mountain. But I haven't heard of anyone who has ever met an immortal, and many people have bumped into ghosts, but it's true!" Speaking of this, he felt a little chilly behind him, and unconsciously shrunk his neck, and it happened that there was another guest, so he hurried away.

"Ghost Mountain?" Hearing this name, Brother Gongzi gasped, he had been afraid of ghosts and the dark since he was a child, and he was a little retreating, how could it be completely different from the information he heard.

This boy with red lips and white teeth came all the way from Luoyang City, the pearl of Tang Mingru and General Tang - Tang Zixi. She traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers, overheard a Taoist priest who traveled to the party, talked about the scenery of Yanxia Mountain, and heard that she could see immortals, she loved to listen to fairy and ghost stories since she was a child, and she was suddenly full of interest, and wanted to go to Yanxia Mountain to try her luck, even if she couldn't meet immortals, it was good to be exposed to immortals, and it was not in vain for her to slip out.

Senior Sister Nie took a sip of the tea bowl, the rough tea bowl was in stark contrast to her white wrist, Senior Brother Lu swallowed a mouthful of saliva again, she glanced at him coquettishly, and then turned her eyes to look at Brother Gongzi, and said, "Little brother, do you still want to go?"

Tang Zixi sat back with some disappointment, looking at the tea in front of him in a daze, he didn't pay attention to Senior Sister Nie's words at all, but Senior Brother Lu on the side, seeing that this little white face dared to ignore Senior Sister's words, he couldn't help but speak: "Little white face, Senior Sister is talking to you!" After speaking, he regretted it a little, so he made Senior Sister dissatisfied, why did he remind him.

"Huh?" Tang Zixi came back to his senses and said suspiciously, "What?"

Senior Sister Nie didn't care, and said with a smile: "You might as well go to Liangzhou City with us to see the excitement, and you can also inquire about the reality of that ghost mountain by the way!"

"What's interesting about Liangzhou City, Baobu is just a larger town, not as prosperous as Luoyang, and not as good as Yumen Pass in terms of characteristics. Tang Zixi pursed his lips and politely declined her invitation, not mentioning that he didn't dare to go to Ghost Mountain.

When Senior Brother Lu heard this, he was anxious, if this little white face also went to Liangzhou, wouldn't he be on the same road, and hurriedly said: "Liangzhou City is now full of martial arts people, all of them are some men who see blood at every turn, you are right, it's better not to go!"

"Oh?" Senior Sister Nie became interested when she heard this, and asked humbly with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Is Luoyang City really that prosperous?" I heard that the people in Luoyang City eat all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and wear silk and satin, and there are many shops on the street, and all kinds of goods are even more dazzling, and even the ones flying in the sky are all rare birds and beasts. ”

When Tang Zixi heard this, he felt a sense of pride in his heart, and he said without thinking about it: "That's natural, although it's a little different, it's not much different, Luo ......."

"Senior sister, don't listen to this kid's nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Senior Brother Lu, who was full of displeasure, and said sarcastically, "At his age, don't talk about Luoyang, I don't think Suzhou and Hangzhou have been there, and he is blowing nonsense here! I still don't believe it, where can the scenery of my Jiangnan be?"

"This big brother! You can't say that!" Tang Zixi was not happy when he heard what he said, and said with a straight face, "Although I haven't been to Suzhou and Hangzhou in Xia, I know a little about its prosperity. However, compared with Luoyang City, it is still a few points worse. After all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the center of gravity of the country ......"

Senior Sister Nie's eyes were shining, and she listened very attentively.
