Chapter 314: Lin'an
Xiao Qian chuckled: "In case you don't pass the exam, this meal will naturally become a 'comfort meal'!"
Qiao Chenan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
After these three autumn exams, it is the beginning of September, although the city of Hangzhou is located in the south, it still feels cold, and the streets and alleys are full of fallen leaves dyed golden by the years.
Especially last night's autumn rain, but also brought a deep chill, the morning pedestrians have already been wrapped in a thick coat, to resist the cold air, the sky is still drizzling, the bluestone slab under the feet of a layer of shallow water, ripples, open mouth to spit out a piece of warm white steam, the streets and alleys are also less usually always playing and laughing teenagers, probably at this time still lie on the bed to keep warm.
Qiao Chenan stood on the small bridge, feeling the deep chill coming to him, looking at the river from afar, the river water was quiet, and he seemed to have realized the artistic conception in the sentence "The sound of the rain is rushing to the early cold, and it is difficult for Hu Yan's wings to fly high and wet", this is originally a season that is easy to make people feel sad.
Since the autumn season, Qiao Chenan has been resting at home for seven or eight days, almost every day with his parents, the second elder learned that he passed the autumn test, he was very happy, even said that the ancestors blessed, the Qiao family has been ordinary people for several generations, it is really not easy to produce such a promising reader.
Calculate the time, and it's time to go to Lin'an, the other scholars have packed their luggage and set off after the autumn exam, I'm afraid that they have arrived in Lin'an City at this time, and they are busy submitting their names to the ministers of the court, although they don't have to think about these anymore, but it's not good to make the old man in Beijing who always cares about him wait too long.
After talking about this with his parents, the two naturally did not object, but urged him to leave quickly, so as not to neglect the teacher's ceremony, but who to take to the capital has become a problem. Bai Suzhen's four daughters, no matter which one he left behind, he was always uneasy in his heart, not to mention that when he went to Suzhou, Xiaoqian and Wu Qiuyue stayed alone in the empty house for several months, how could they bear to let them suffer from such lovesickness again?
After thinking about it again and again, he simply decided to take all four of them to Beijing, and drag all of them on the road, so as not to feel uncomfortable in his own heart, Qiao Chenan realized at this time that it turned out that there were many confidants, and it was not all a good thing.
The eighth day of the ninth month.
Everyone didn't realize that a wisp of white clouds quietly crossed the clear sky, galloping towards the direction of Lin'an City, these many white clouds were carefully carved and polished by Qiao Chen'an, and the appearance was modified into a palace, and even the curtains were lifelike.
In the main hall, the bed is spread out on the ground, the table is slowly burning with sandalwood, the smoke is wisps, and there is a platter, full of melons and fruits, Qiao Chen'an exerted his magic power to block all the wind, the room is as warm as spring, and the five of them are lying or sitting on the couch, so they don't enjoy it.
Xiao Qiansu held the windowsill with her hand and looked out, seeing that the scenery was changing like flying, the mountains and rivers were all dyed with a layer of withered yellow, desolate and strong, and you could see that large and small villages were dotted among them, and the smoke was curling, which was a novel perspective that had never been seen before.
Curiously asked: "Xianggong, what is Lin'an City like, Xiaoqian has never been there!"
Qiao Chenan was about to speak, but suddenly felt something in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's better for you to see for yourself!" Stretching out his hand, the front suddenly became transparent, revealing the scene below.
From afar, I saw a huge shadow like a castle shrouded in the earth, dozens of miles long, like a giant beast crawling on the ground, a sense of ancient meaning of the forest came to the face, and when it was close, I found its true appearance, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty - Lin'an.
Looking down, I saw that there were more than ten floors of pavilions and pavilions, row upon row, almost towering into the clouds, the shape was unique and exquisite, just like an ancient giant walking on the earth, casting a large shadow.
There is a nearly transparent passage between some attics, suspended at a height of tens of meters from the ground, the huge machine rumbles and the gears bite, and the passage gradually expands, extending out another fork, connecting with other pavilions, and pedestrians walk on it, like a cantharid.
Qiao Chenan casually cast a stealth method, controlling the clouds to turn sharply, and suddenly saw dozens of birds rising into the sky not far from the city in front of him, making a strange cooing call, looking closely, only to find that these birds were not living creatures, the whole body was blue-gray, I don't know what material it was made of, with a flutter of wings, it soared dozens of meters away, agile and free, almost no different from living creatures.
In addition to Wu Qiuyue, the other three girls are all coming to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty for the first time, how have they ever seen such a magical thing, their eyes are full of brilliance, Xiaoqing is the most impatient, and said curiously: "What is this?" As soon as the mana turned, he hooked one of those birds and took it to his hand to play, but this 'bird' had its wings drooping, motionless, as if it was dead, and couldn't help frowning, and said with disgust: "What, it's not fun at all!"
In Lin'an City, there are dozens of young men and women dressed in flow-patterned big clothes, stepping on cloud boots, and wearing jade rings on their waists gathered together, this group of young people and girls are full of luxury, and they know at a glance that their identities are extraordinary, and they must be the children of official eunuchs.
One of the silver-robed girls suddenly saw that her trap bird had disappeared out of thin air, and thought it was her own dazzle, so she rubbed her eyes, but still didn't find the shadow of the trap bird, her small mouth flattened, and cried: "Woo, my bird is gone......"
Qiao Chen'an didn't know about this little episode that happened below, he saw that Xiaoqing didn't say a word, he actually fished over a 'bird', his face couldn't help but darken, and said: "This thing is called 'Organ Bird', with the mechanism technique handed down from ancient times, it can act like a living thing." ”
Hearing this, Xiaoqing spread her hands and said, "Then why doesn't it move?"
Qiao Chenan said angrily: "It must be that when you cast the spell just now, you shattered the structure inside." This trap bird was passed around in the hands of several people, and all of them showed a look of surprise and admiration in their eyes, and Bai Suzhen's eyes showed a look of memory, and said: "When I was cultivating in the mountains, I also heard that my sisters occasionally mentioned that there is a sect in the world, called 'Organ Gate', in addition to cultivating spells, I am also committed to the study of organ arts. When facing the enemy, even if his own Taoism is weaker, he can also gain the upper hand with all kinds of strange mechanical products in his hands. ”
She looked at the cyan trap bird in her hand and sighed, "Those pavilions we just saw are probably also the products of the trap gate!"
Qiao Chenan said: "I don't know much about the door. But since I have come to Lin'an, I believe I will understand sooner or later. ”
While he was speaking, the crowd fell to the ground.
