Chapter 342: Su Sheng
It turns out that one day of this cloud mountain is worth a few days in the world. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Not to mention why this golden photon behaved in a panic, and not to mention what kind of treasure the Sword Saint and the Book Saint wanted to give her.
only said that Li Yun's heart went down to the mountain, so he went to Tongtianze.
Looking at the earth from Yunshan, I only feel that the earth is empty and lonely, and there is little prosperity in the world. When you cross the mountains to the plains, you will know that the monks' high perspective is also limited—in the wilderness, in the meadows and trees, there is a lot of life hidden.
It's not the same as Manjuki Mountain. This plain has been the place where the people of the industry have worked and rested since ancient times. Although there are not a few big cities like Xiaoshi and Weicheng, villages and towns are indispensable.
At first, the people of the industry here saw that the military of many countries were escorting this kind of thing in the direction of Tongtianze, and they only thought that it was going to war. Although people have not been at war for hundreds or even thousands of years, they still know that war is a terrible thing. Every autumn, the officials in the county and state go to the countryside to collect taxes is already a terrible "disaster", and once it is involved with those big-headed soldiers, how terrible should it be?
Therefore, the timid citizens fled early, ignoring the notice issued by the government to reassure the people.
But after a few days, I gradually realized that these soldiers who crossed the border were really not so terrible -- not that they were all strictly disciplined and selfless. Rather, it means that even if these officers and soldiers eat and take cards, there will even be occasional rebellious troops robbing the village...... It's not as scary as it seems.
As a result, some people who were reluctant to leave their homeland moved back one after another, and then more speculators came from all over the world.
Most of them are merchants and hawkers who walk in the villages and towns all year round. It is a long way to go down the Manjuan Mountain to Tongtianze—it takes the secular people to walk for nearly a month.
Even though these mortal soldiers were only responsible for transporting the red earth to the assembly area in the middle of the plain, and the monks would do the rest, it would still take several days to travel. With so many people eating and drinking, there are naturally business opportunities.
As a result, many inns, villages and towns along the way became lively and prosperous, and I don't know who came up with the idea that not only made these pawns and peddlers earn money, but also solved the problem of rest and recuperation for many officers and soldiers.
Li Yunxin walked and looked around, and walked for two days.
In these two days, I have seen all kinds of people, and heard many words. Perhaps it was because his state of mind had changed now—many things that used to sound meaningless to him could now be felt by some subtle emotion. This feeling...... It's like a new world has suddenly appeared around me. And this new world has always existed, but he has turned a blind eye to it.
In this way, by noon on the third day, he could already see his destination.
The cloud mountain is about to fall in Tongtianze. But the cultivators who guarded Tongtianze were only a small minority. More cultivators put their positions in front of them - three days away from the Manjuan Mountain, it could almost be called "next to each other".
The officers and soldiers from all over the country from the south sent the escorted red clay to this camp, and then the cultivators in the camp used their mana to shrink the ground into inches and send it to Tongtianze.
The camp of the cultivators is different from that of the mortal officers and soldiers. Dozens of miles away, a tall tower stood – hundreds of meters high. The tower is jet black, and there seem to be some figures in and out of the air. However, in the middle of the section, there is a cloud of mist, and mortals cannot see clearly.
Practitioners were not very fond of performing "miracles" in front of mortals. And this time, it was probably the first time in many years that he had shown his earth-shattering power in front of so many mortals.
As for the allied camp of mortals, it was on the periphery of the tower, and the circle stretched for dozens of miles. There is a clear distinction between them, and there is a strict distinction between them. But further afield, the boundaries are less pronounced – many peddlers and pawns line up their stalls around the large camp, providing services and food.
The army is huge, and the daily consumption of food and drink is amazing. Although these vendors on the periphery can alleviate the immediate need, they cannot solve the fundamental problem. But Rao was like this, and business was also very prosperous—the officers and soldiers who came and went to escort stopped here to rest. After the repair was completed, he got up and caught up with the half-day journey to the coalition camp on the periphery.
Therefore, when Li Yunxin arrived here, what he saw was not wilderness. And almost a small city.
Although many of the sheds are not next to each other, most of them are more than a dozen steps apart, but the number of them is superior. When he was in Weicheng, he saw the city market. Here, it is probably magnified that the market in Weicheng is thousands of times larger. There was no end in sight, and even the black tower built by the monks on the horizon seemed ethereal.
The officers and soldiers who had just arrived here were also shocked by such a scene, and they could see stunned people everywhere.
However, the vendors were so busy killing pigs and sheep that they were even more fearless than those officers and soldiers.
Li Yunxin walked a few steps in the crowded crowd, and his ears were filled with the sound of soldiers and armor colliding, the sound of soldiers shouting loudly, the sound of vendors shouting, and the sound of food being put into the pot.
After a while, I saw a "different person" - it looked like a low-level disciple of various sects.
There was the miraculous black pagoda in the distance, and people were naturally more in awe of these cultivators. Wherever these low-level disciples went, they would automatically get out of the way and keep their voices quiet. Originally...... I came to inspect the order.
Although these arrogant low-level cultivators were full of displeasure. But it did work -- the officers and men spent silver taels or IOUs in a regular manner on food and drink, and it seems that this situation has been going on for a long time.
Li Yunxin realized that he had underestimated the methods of Xuanmen in the past.
He used to think that with such a large number of troops, the logistical problem was unsolvable. But when I saw the situation in front of me, I realized that as time went by, the number of vendors who heard the news should be more. Many countries in this world are similarly agrarian and business-oriented, but not very serious. This makes the circulation of goods in this world far better than the "ancient time" that he has an impression of.
Perhaps, in a few days, these people who intend to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune will be able to meet the daily needs of the army.
It's just that...... Are these people not afraid of death?
Here, it will become the front line of the war between the Xuanmen and the demons!
With this question in mind, he walked further ahead -- past two piles of people who were in a hurry, past two terrible piles of garbage made of bones and dung of chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep, and through a woods also occupied by officers and soldiers who were resting for a while, and saw a winery at the bottom of a hillside.
The shop is made of a few thick logs and covered with thick cowhide. Dozens of black porcelain altars were piled up inside, pasted with red paper, and the names of the drinks were written. Outside, there are five tables and a few benches. It looks like someone was temporarily looking for someone to build it here, and even the wooden thorns on the table have not been planed.
There were other businesses next to the liquor store, all of which were more than his family. Perhaps it was the commander of the officer and soldier corps who came here to restrain his subordinates and prevent them from drinking and causing trouble. Thus only two of the five tables were seated.
One of the tables was surrounded by three people, who only ordered a pot of light wine and a plate of soybeans, and chatted while drinking. Li Yunxin had heard well, and when he walked over, he heard a rough idea, and knew that these three people were also trading nearby. In the afternoon, when I was tired, I came to catch my breath - people were doing the business of armies, but poor the owner of this wine shop was doing the business of his peers.
On the other table, there was a man in Tsing Yi. He looked like a young man in his early twenties, and although his clothes were not luxurious, they were also decent. There were five jars of wine on the table in front of him, and they all seemed to be empty. Therefore the man was also weary and overwhelmed with alcohol, and fell asleep on his stomach.
Li Yunxin walked here and heard the three people at the table talking about the army and the Xuanmen. It also happened that the wine shop was barely "clean", so he picked up a table and sat down, listening to the three people from a distance.
The boss was moving the wine jar in the cowhide shed, and he didn't see him for a while, but he was not in a hurry. He wanted to know more about these mortals, officers and soldiers. Xuanmen doesn't attach much importance to these people, but in his opinion, these people are the foundation for great things.
After listening to it for about a quarter of an hour, I knew something about it.
No wonder...... Not only are these vendors not afraid, but they are also eager to visit this place.
It turned out to be because of the Xuanmen statement.
In the hearts of the people of the world, the Dao Sect and the Sword Sect roughly represent the right way in the world. The righteous path is magnificent, and the demons can only hide in the shadows, and they are completely unable to compete with the celestials and monks—this is the thought of mortals.
Therefore, in the eyes of people like Li Yunxin, it is now a big battle between demons and Xuanmen. However, in the eyes of mortals, it is......
The clouds and mountains will fall in Tongtianze. This means that when the immortals descend to earth, the entire Tongtianze will become a fairyland. And thousands of miles outside of Tongtianze will be filled with the qi of the fairy spirits - mortals who come here, even if they take a breath of this fairy qi, they can also strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.
It is said that this theory was originally spread to the market because an immortal chief inadvertently "leaked the heavenly secret". After that, it was fermented by many people, and finally spread to the world.
Naturally, there are people who know about demons. However, no one was worried about any demons - they had gathered here, so close to the immortals on the black tower, how could the demons dare to appear. It is even said that this time the fairy mountain came to the world, officially because the demons in the world were rampant, so the immortals decided to get rid of the demons.
So there were these bold businessmen first. In a few days, there may be others with other goals in mind. Eventually, perhaps those who want to stay fit and live longer will come—perhaps more here than the Coalition forces.
This state of affairs...... It's actually a little familiar.
Li Yunxin was hearing this, but he saw the young man sleeping on his stomach at a table next to him wake up. Only the back is arched, and the head is still on the table. With a flick of his arms on the table, he squeezed the empty jars to the ground, crackling.
This noise alarmed the boss in the shed, and he hurriedly turned around. Seeing this young man, he frowned first, and saw Li Yunxin's brows again. trotted over and confessed to Li Yunxin: "I'm really busy, I saw the distinguished guest - what kind of wine did the distinguished guest come to quench his thirst?"
Li Yunxin didn't answer, but he heard the young man at the table next to him call out vaguely: "Boss...... Bring the wine!"
The boss only glanced at him and ignored him. But the young man raised his head at this moment, stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and shouted vigorously: "Where's the wine?!"
Li Yunxin saw his appearance and felt a little familiar.
This thing...... It's a little weird. He has always had the ability to never forget, and anyone who sees him once will never forget it. But now that I saw this young man, I felt "familiar", but I couldn't remember where I had seen it......
It's really strange and weird. He frowned slightly, stared at the young man's face for a while, and asked the boss, "Why don't you ignore him?"
The boss was slightly stunned: "Distinguished guest...... Do you recognize him?"
"Just curious. Looks like one of my old friends. Li Yunxin said this, stretched out his hand and lined up a few dimes of silver on the table, "I just need a cup of tea." What's the matter with this man?"
The boss laughed. He took the silver horn, looked at the man, and said, "Hey, this one." Don't think that we are snobbish and snub guests. ”
"He's been eating and drinking with me for days. When he first came, he had some money on him. I saw that he was dressed like this, and he only came to play and watch the lively son, so he treated him very respectfully. But after three days he had run out of money, but he refused to go away, and stayed here and told me to give him wine on credit. ”
"I'm afraid that he has a background, and he is a secretary or general in the army. So he also gave him three days' worth of wine on credit. But he still won't leave--I have to force my little business down—"
Li Yunxin laughed: "After drinking your wine for three days, how can you drink all the money? Are you deceiving people?"
The boss hurriedly waved his hand: "Where is this distinguished guest! The distinguished guest doesn't know what kind of drinking method this person has!"
Li Yunxin smiled again: "Oh?"
He touched his sleeve again, took out a gold leaf and threw it on the table: "Then I invite you to serve him wine." I'll see how he drinks?"
His arrogant style made the boss stunned. Even the three men at the other table stopped talking and looked over to him with interest.
So the boss really turned around and went to the shed and brought out two jars of wine. The boss was a stocky, short man with arms as thick as the thighs of an average man. Rao was so, and he had a little difficulty walking on one side of a large wine jar - you can see how big the altar is and how heavy the wine is.
Walking up to the young man's table and putting it up, the ground trembled slightly.
Then he frowned at him and said in a rough voice: "Yesterday you were lucky to meet two military masters to invite you." Today, if you are lucky, you will be invited to this distinguished guest, so you can drink it! Have a good drink, and go quickly!"
The young man looked like he was drinking stupidly. didn't pay attention to the boss's words, let alone thank Li Yunxin. Stretched out his hand and patted it on the altar, peeled off the mud seal, and drank it. But the jar was heavy, and he didn't see much strength, so at first he tilted it slightly, so that the wine slowly overflowed—and he drank it with his mouth.
In one gulp, he drank for a quarter of an hour.
Li Yunxin was slightly surprised. He had already investigated this person and knew that he didn't have any demonic or spiritual powers, just an ordinary person. But an ordinary person, such a way to drink...... It's also a strange person.
And so on and so on and so on and on, and after a quarter of an hour had been drunk halfway through the jar, he stopped to wipe his mouth. But instead of resting—he put the jar down, squatted down under the table, and continued to drink.
He looked surprised, but the three people at the other table were not. It seems that I have become accustomed to seeing it these days.
The owner was not surprised. walked back and poured a cup of tea and served it to Li Yunxin, picked up the gold leaf he had rested on the table, put it in his hand, and checked it. He touched it in his arms and pulled out a pair of scissors.
"I'm not worth it. The boss measured the gold leaf with his fingers, then hinged off a piece with the scissors and put it in his arms, and put the rest on the table. ”
Then he looked at the young man again and said to Li Yunxin: "Alas, he, he only calls himself Su Sheng." I don't talk much these days, I only drink. Now there were two jars on the table—not enough for him to drink. Let go, you can drink more than a dozen jars a day. But my wine is a rare spirit. I am afraid that he will drink to death, so how dare I let him do it? Now that I have accepted half a gold leaf from my distinguished guest, I will exchange it for ten jars of fine wine -- after drinking it, I cannot give it again today. ”
After saying this, he said, "What more do you want?"
Li Yunxin shook his head: "You go." I looked at him and relieved my boredom. ”
The boss naturally didn't know what this Su Sheng was good at. But since he heard Li Yunxin say that he would relieve his boredom, he smiled and said casually: "It's okay for your guests to relieve their boredom - this Su Sheng, he doesn't have any other skills, but drinking is also a must." Behold, if these two jars of wine had been poured into the body, they would have exploded. But he said that there are two altars, that is, ten altars, and you can sit here and drink motionless, which is very amazing!"
But although he said that he was strange, he walked towards the shed under his feet. It seems that I have seen a lot these days and have been too lazy to watch.
After the boss left, Li Yunxin squinted his eyes and stared at Na Su Sheng for another quarter of an hour.
There is something strange about this man. His memory and instincts were rarely wrong—they must have been seen before. However, who exactly?
This Su Sheng looked extremely different. It stands to reason that a drunkard, after drinking, should always have some meaning of profligate. But looking at his face at the moment, there was no expression in it—as if drinking was as natural and boring to him as breathing, and that nothing that happened in the world around him could interest him.
He seemed to be surrounded by a layer of gloom and misery, as if all the tragic things in the world had run to him, causing him to lose hope and anger, and even "borrowing wine to drown his sorrows" had no taste.
Such a person...... If you've seen it before, how can you not remember it?
Li Yunxin frowned.
But the next moment, his eyes widened slightly.
He remembered someone.
