Volume 2 Song of the Sea Chapter 72 Who is the most beautiful boy in Penglai?
For ordinary people, Penglai Xianshan, under the jurisdiction of Xu Sanjiao, is an ideal society without excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes that everyone yearns for. Under his protection, there is no strife here, no oppression, even if you are an old farmer, as long as you can set foot in Penglai, you can achieve self-sufficiency on this island.
Wealthy businessmen and monks from the outside world often come here, and ordinary people can also make a lot of money by setting up stalls along the streets. Therefore, the daily life of the residents here is very freehand, and if they want to work, they go to the small fields or small workshops they cultivate.
Since we are talking about labor, we have to talk about a strange man here.
One summer night about fifteen years ago, a young man in his early twenties arrived on the island with an iron cage pigeon. The young man looks average, but his name is domineering, called Chaos Destiny. The name is domineering, but the strength is not good, he doesn't practice spiritual power, he doesn't practice the physical body, and he is a real mortal body.
When he first arrived, he paid ten entry spirit stones, and he was so poor that he only had a cage of pigeons left. So, with the sky as the quilt and the earth as the bed, the young man lived a wandering journey with twelve pigeons.
As I said before, as long as you don't set fire to people on this island, Xu Sanjiao won't care, so there are many such homeless people on the island.
It is not surprising that the wandering is natural, but it is strange that this young man named Chaotianfu actually opened a pigeon factory on the top of Xianshan.
You will ask, he can't pay the rent, and he doesn't know Xu Sanjiao, how can he open a factory and start a business here?
This is the strange place, on the second day of the chaotic heaven to go up the mountain, the pigeon in the iron cage was released, and the whole fairy mountain was used as the field, and the pigeon was put under the nose of Xu Sanjiao. It is also miraculous to say that the pigeons are released every morning, and in the evening they will carry the pigeon coop to a mountain cliff to learn the pigeons to coo.
When these little white pigeons heard his call, they would flutter their wings and retract into the pigeon cage obediently, and none of them would escape, and if something happened, they would turn to the local pigeon.
These pigeons forage freely on the island during the day, and their favorite place is Mr. Yasuki's medicine field, where they always peck at herbs when he is away, so they gradually grow fat and have some herb flavor in their meat.
In addition, due to the strong aura on the island, the pigeons also contain a lot of aura in their bodies, which can be said to be a good nourishment.
In the first year, the Chaotic Heavenly Mandate raised a total of 150 white pigeons, of which ten were provided to the "Heaven and Earth" as cooking ingredients, and the price of one pigeon was 1,000 catties of spirit stones. And after those rich businessmen tasted it, they actually thought it was a good deal, and would order a total of fifty from him every year. This allowed him to gain a foothold in Penglai.
For the unreasonable behavior of disrupting the destiny of heaven, Xu Sanjiao has always acquiesced and never troubled him. But this made Mr. An Qi miserable, his herb garden was almost pecked bald by white pigeons, and the medicine field in the deepest part of the garden was even worse.
In desperation, Mr. An Qi had no choice but to purchase a set of formations to protect the medicine field, but because the formation would consume a lot of resources, the peripheral medicine fields could not be protected.
In the end, he took a little girl as an apprentice, and this person is now the red bean girl. When she was a child, she ran around the garden all day carrying a small stick, driving pigeons everywhere.
When Chao Tianfang heard about this, he also felt that what he had done was inappropriate, so he came to apologize to the medical fairy, and rented a medicine field to raise pigeons.
This time, all parties are comfortable, Xu Sanjiao has reaped the rent, Mr. An Qi doesn't have to worry about no one, and Hongdou doesn't have to run every day.
Mr. An Qi felt that he owed something to his apprentice, so he officially accepted red beans as an apprentice and passed on his medical skills. After more than ten years of hard study, today's red beans have their seven-point level.
On the contrary, he also got the guidance of Mr. Anji, and integrated the medicinal diet into it, and really cultivated the pigeon into nourishment, and the price doubled.
This pigeon, which is worth two thousand catties of spirit stones, made the Chaotic Destiny develop quickly and became a wealthy businessman in Penglai.
This is a strange thing that Penglai people talk about, once in the teahouse theater here, it became a talking point in the mouth of the storyteller, and it is still popular here today.
No, this afternoon in a small teahouse called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", there was a storyteller talking about this legendary ace pigeon.
I saw the storyteller standing in the hall, touching his goatee with one hand, and relapping the table with the other, making a loud bang, and the tea bowl on the table swayed incessantly, splashing a few splashes.
This shot immediately attracted the attention of the tea guests in the hall.
The residents of the island are carefree, they like to go to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to books in their spare time, this teahouse has a low threshold, and a baht spirit stone can be drunk here for an afternoon, so the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is often overcrowded.
In this small shop, there were actually more than 50 tea customers, and everyone looked at the storyteller curiously, waiting for him to speak.
The storyteller slowly twisted his body and looked around the teahouse, but he had enough appetite and saw that everyone was impatient, so he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me talk about the legend of Penglai today, and today I am talking about pigeonsββ"
Regarding the deeds of the ace pigeon, these tea guests have been listening to it for ten years, and their ears are almost calloused, where do they want to hear about these rotten sesame seeds of Chen Guzi. So they began to shout and curse.
"You've been talking about this for almost ten years, and I want to vomit when I see a pigeon now..."A rough man complained, dropped the tea bowl in his hand and rushed out, "Don't listen, don't listen, let's go to the opposite side for tea!"
An old farmer with a black and red face next to him with a hoe teased: "Alas, I said to the old man, you have broken the glorious deeds of the destiny of heaven with us every day, he will not be the face of your family's cuihua, right?"
"Hahahaha, Old Man Yu didn't expect you to have such a powerful identity, disrespectful and disrespectful. Someone continued to lose his head.
An honest and strong man squeezed his eyebrows: "Brother Yu, I love to listen to your books, I have listened to you for ten years, and I understand one sentence: Gou Fugui, don't forget each other." β
"Fuck you, if Lao Yu is really his father-in-law, the sun has to come out from the north!"
"Words can't"
For a while, the boos were everywhere, and the storyteller surnamed Yu was blue and white for a while, and he was so angry that he was smoking, but the people present were his food and clothing parents, and he couldn't really pull down his face to make enemies with them, so he smiled and asked everyone: "Then what do you officials want to hear?"
After Li Bing came out of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce, he came to this teahouse, not to drink tea, but to inquire about the news. To find out who will be competing in the next two days, his sweetheart will be coming to watch it that day. Despite Zhao Shi's assurance, he didn't dare to take it lightly. If there is a dark horse who disobeys discipline and steals his limelight, it will be a shame.
In the corner of the teahouse, Li Bing, who was wearing a gold silk and black embroidered robe, glanced at the dog leg beside him, and the man understood and asked loudly at Lao Yu: "Hey, then you told us which favorites are there in the two-day competition?"
Lao Yu Wenyan looked over there, and when he saw Li Bing, who was in a lofty position, he knew that this was a big guest, and he said that there was definitely a reward, so he paused for a moment, thought in his heart for a while, and said: "No problem, let's talk about these people today." β
The rest of the tea guests were also very concerned about the event of the surfing competition, and when they saw that he was going to analyze it, they hurriedly applauded.
"Ahem, before I say that, let me tell you a piece of good news. Lao Yu coughed and interrupted again, which made many people dissatisfied. But this is a habit he has gained from decades of storytelling, and he can't change it, "I will have the honor to be the commentator in the game the day after tomorrow, and everyone is welcome to come and cheer at that time." β
Everyone puffed out the tea in their mouths, everyone knew that they were old in the habit of storytelling, and when telling a story, they would intersperse some completely useless things, or mix in some small advertisements, they called it irrigation, and even more ruthlessly said that he was "in the opposite direction". Of course, that's just the literal meaning. If such an unreliable storyteller who likes to carry private work is allowed to narrate, then this competition will be interesting.
At that time, no one watched the game, they were all listening to him and reasoning.
Lao Yu also guessed what everyone was thinking in his heart, and his face was not red, and he continued: "There are three favorites for the championship this time, and one of them is clear to everyone, which is Zhao Xi, the eldest son of the Baibao Chamber of Commerce. His strength is in the Dao Seeking Realm, and he is also good at water kung fu. He looked around and lowered his voice, "Don't look at Zhao Gongzi looking empty, in fact, he can keep in the waves for an hour without falling into the water." The last time he practiced in the sea, I saw it clearly, and the heads were turned over like grasshoppers, which was very interesting. β
Everyone laughed softly, and their hearts bloomed, but they didn't dare to show it for fear of being settled by Zhao Xianqiu.
Li Bing was naturally fearless, and threw out a bag with a wild laugh: "Reward!"
Looking at the beautiful parabola in mid-air, the tea guests stared at the round eyes, I'm afraid there are five catties of spirit stones in it, right?
Lao Yu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly took it and thanked him, "This second person is Chen Shuimiao, the third young master of the 'Heaven and Earth'." Everyone should be no stranger, although this person is a little blessed, but his surfing style is the most varied, and he is the only one who won the Hundred Flowers Award in this competition. β
This is a bit troublesome, with Zhao Shi's temperament, he may not dare to stumble on this Chen Shuimiao, maybe there will be problems because of this person at that time. "I'm going to win a double award, so it looks like I'll have to be careful of this person then," Li Bing whispered, lost in thought.
"That's right, these two can definitely win both awards. Everyone nodded, agreeing with his words, in fact, they knew in their hearts who could win the crown on this island, but it was the effect of this lively discussion.
"And who's the third one?"
"yes, yes, how can there be a dark horse?
Lao Yu smiled mysteriously, moved his gaze to the corner of the teahouse, and raised his hand to signal: "This young man with a generous shot is the dark horse this time." Last night, I watched the stars at night and found a Venus shining directly above Penglai Mountain.
"When did you learn physiognomy?"
"Damn, it's too shameless to be older than you!"
Li Bing listened to his words, felt comfortable, and immediately said to his follower: "Let's go." "When I came to the hall, I threw a big bag of spirit stones.
Lao Yu felt that the contents of this bag seemed to contain amazing energy, so he secretly twisted open the gap in the bag and took a closer look, the colorful appearance inside almost made him faint, I go, this is a high-quality spirit stone! He looked at the extraordinary young man who was dashing and far away outside the door, and suddenly felt that this person was like a god in the bright sunshine, which was admirable.
Lao Yu muttered: "This person is the most beautiful boy in Penglai!"
