Chapter 168: Falling Flower City
To the east of Lanzhou, there is a mountain called Qingshan, and there is a city at the foot, called Luohua.
The county seat is not big, the shouting sound inside is heard from time to time, in recent years, the green mountains are not very peaceful, in the past relying on the name of the Flower Bone Sect, it is more convenient to walk in Lanzhou, and now the sect is closed to the mountain, and the grass thief village has no suppression of the Flower Bone Sect, and it has become more difficult for the people in the city to go out.
In front of an inn, the female shopkeeper who looks like a woman rubbed her sleepy eyes, held a few taels of wine in one hand, and stepped on the second floor. The female shopkeeper knocked on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open, and a small head poked out of it, and the woman smiled: "We have some wine here, and we will give some melon seeds to a few guest officers by the way." β
The little girl with two swords hanging from her back turned her head towards the house, and quickly turned back, and opened the door wider, and the woman covered her mouth and chuckled, and wanted to reach out and touch the little girl's head, but after hesitation, she retracted it, and took the plate with both hands and went into the house. The store is deserted, there are only these few guests, and it is very weird, obviously four people want a room, the woman looks at the men and women inside, and does not intervene much, this year chewing more tongue may lose the head.
The room is quite big, the woman shopkeeper does not look crowded after coming in, it is very clean, there are four chairs placed next to the square table, there are two young men, the young man in the blue robe is almost in his twenties, and there is a gossip plate pinned to his waist, like a fortune teller on the roadside, the appearance is not bad, but it is still slightly inferior to another young man in white, and the woman in the pink shirt sitting on the bed is wearing a hood, and she can't see her appearance clearly, the woman just glanced at it, and gave a blessing, the young man in white also smiled and nodded, and the woman smiled, put down the wine and food in her hand, and found a bench to sit on, at the end, I didn't forget to add a sentence "It's rare for our family to come to a few guest officers, it's really lonely and difficult, and I hope to forgive me for some chatter." β
Lin Haoran took a big sip of wine and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, this wine is delicious, much more authentic than the fine wine outside!"
The woman was happy, narrowed her slender eyes, and said, "The little brother of the Lin family is just able to speak, and the wine of our family is said to be delicious by the people of the Six Battles Sect." β
Lin Haoran sighed, "Does the shopkeeper still know the people of the Six Battles Gate?"
The woman shook her head, "How can it, that's the fairy on the mountain, our family has entertained a few children who have gone down the mountain to practice, the Flower Bone Sect has closed the mountain in the past two years, but there are many other sects who come to our Flower City, and we have to lose it, otherwise the gang of thieves outside will take advantage of the fire to rob." β
Lin Haoran glanced at Fang Yan and asked, "These sects have been in the limelight recently, and we also heard the stories of these mountain immortals when we passed by Liquan County. β
The female shopkeeper was happy," Feelings from such a far away ah, to be honest, our family is a small people, mostly buy wine or from the gambling house to hear, it is said that some time ago, the six battle gates out of the gang and soft sword fairy, a gang and a soft, go to the Golden Sword Sect to collect debts, good guys, the group of sword immortals who claim to be the first in swordsmanship Lanzhou are falling flowers and flowing water, we don't know the specific situation, we only know that now this Golden Sword Sect can be regarded as a reputation of a thousand feet, Qingshan, on those few mountain sects are the most powerful, and now the six battle gates are the most closely related to Luohua City, which is a great thingγ β
Speaking of this child, the shopkeeper said: "It's a coincidence, if you really can't hear these in the early years, when the Flower Bone Sect was there, our family thought it was the gods on the mountain, and now I know that the gods are also divided into gangs, and there will be times when people's heads fall to the ground." β
Fang Yan smiled and listened to the female shopkeeper finish speaking, and after swallowing a few melon seeds, he asked: "Shopkeeper, these days, we have heard about the big and small ones in the city in the teahouse of the wine shop, is there anything more interesting, I have the right to listen to it." β
The female shopkeeper glanced at Fang Yan, she had come here from time to time to chatter in the past few days, knowing that this white-clothed boy was in charge of these people, after thinking about it, she got up, moved the bench, and whispered after getting closer: "Don't hide it from a few guest officers, I really know some gossip, do you know that the Xu family, which is now in full swing, has come to a lot of foreign troops these days?"
Fang Yan frowned imperceptibly, then showed an expression of interest, and asked with a smile: "Is there a movement here, are you going to make a move against other families, or the Chen family?"
After coming here for a few days, Fang Yan also knew a lot about the great changes in the city, the Song family suddenly declined, the whereabouts of the Song family were unknown, the two families of Xu and Chen took advantage of the situation, Fang Yan never thought that his going up the mountain would have such an impact on the overall situation in the city, which really surprised him for a while.
Fang Yan's impression of Song Tian is quite vague, after all, he only met his grandfather a few times when he was a child, but after all, Song Muchen was his wife who had nominally passed the door, and he almost married him, but now he didn't know his whereabouts, which made Fang Yan feel a little difficult in his heart.
The woman smiled and said, "Just say these things here, but don't go out and say them, you'll lose your head." Nowadays, those big families, the Fang, Liu, and Zhou families, who are not watching from the wall on the surface, waiting to see a good show, and secretly everyone is in danger, for fear of using it against themselves. β
Fang Yan hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Zang family and the Feng family in Dongcheng, are they okay now?"
The woman was a little surprised: "Gongzi is related to them? No wonder our local dialect is so neat, I thought it was the far gate of the Fang family in Xicheng." β
The female shopkeeper didn't finish talking about it, and it took a long time before she returned to the topic, "The Feng family and the Zang family moved away early before the Song family fell, and now who knows where they went." β
Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Moved away?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, the yard is empty now." It's okay to go, and settle quietly. β
Fang Yan threw a melon seed into his mouth and was silent.
The woman also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and after sitting for a while, she got up to say goodbye, and did not forget to take the melon seed shells on the table when she left. Xu Minjian closed the door and whispered, "This aunt is a good person." β
Fang Yan laughed and touched the head of the little girl in the Taoist robe: "The rivers and lakes are not all people who seek money and kill people." β
Hua Weijian sat up, stretched and said, "What are your plans?"
Fang Yan glanced at Hua Wei, and the latter frowned and said, "Look at a hammer?!"
Fang Yan smiled: "I thought you would cry, but now it seems that you are too worried." β
Hua didn't see it twice, "You met me on the first day." β
Then she said calmly: "What's the use of crying, it's a fact that the mountain is closed, it's better to cultivate earlier and become a Five Realms Wandering Immortal, I'll see who can stop me?"
Lin Haoran said helplessly: "Flower girl, the goal of the Five Realms is too high." β
Hua Wei raised her eyebrows when she saw the willows, "Look down on me?!This girl is a cultivator like no other in ten thousand, don't believe we can practice our hands!"
Lin Haoran immediately confessed, and when he didn't see Hua, he didn't pay attention to him, and closed his eyes to exercise.
Fang Yan smiled, Hua Weijian said this half to him, most of them were worried that the young man would worry about Feng Mianmiao and disturb his mind, which was the same reason as Fang Yan was worried that Hua Weijian would be sad because of the affairs of the sect.
