"Hundred miles of long streets, the flow of people is like weaving, thousands of squares are vertical and horizontal, and the lights are bright", which is about the grand market and night scene of Jinling City.

The three of Tianhuo master and apprentice walked through the long corridor of Fengtai Gate, and through the corridor, they could judge that the thickness of the wall of Jinling City was enough to make people stagger, but ordinary people would not pay attention to these details.

Because people who enter Jinling City for the first time will be attracted by the prosperous scene in front of them, the roads are wide, the shops are numerous, this is just the outer city of Jinling, its prosperity has surpassed many large cities, as if the rich people of the entire Song Kingdom are concentrated here.

As for what the inner city, the palace city, and the imperial city would be like, the three of them couldn't imagine it now, because their eyes and ears were too busy at this moment.

Since the beginning of the Song Dynasty, 100,000 wealthy families have moved to settle in Jinling, and the outer city has been specially built for this purpose, so the commercial atmosphere of the outer city of Jinling is extremely strong, and the goods from all over Dongshengzhou are dazzling and rich in categories, and at the same time, Jinling City also leads the fashion of food and clothing in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Xuanji faction now also runs the business of the Chamber of Commerce, and is determined to become the largest Chamber of Commerce in the southwest region, Tianhuo, as a member of the sect, is naturally very concerned about the trade and fashion of the capital, and he takes the gray kite and the green ox to walk around the outer city with great interest.

When he was in Xuanji Mountain, Tianhuo spent most of his time in retreat and penance, and rarely taught his two apprentices, which was also related to his own weak strength, while Gray Kite and Qingniu were managed by Tianhuo's senior brothers.

Gray Kite has a high level of intelligence, and learned a lot of business management from the two masters of Cang'er and Yi Prisoner, and even learned a little bit of the true inheritance of business from the two, which is quite appreciated and respected by the two, and believes that in the future, among the three generations of disciples of the Xuanji School, it is none other than Gray Kite who can support the great cause of business.

This time, the gray kite was sent to accompany Tianhuo to Jinling, and Xuanjizi intended to let them choose the opportunity to open up the capital market, so Tianhuo and Gray Kite were particularly concerned about the products of various places all the way, and many things in Jinling City made them feel very novel, and when the two saw strange or good goods, they couldn't help but come forward to ask.

Qingniu has little interest in business, he is more interested in Lu Qiming's gluttonous art and Zhou Yong's beast control technique, especially the gluttonous way can directly transform food and elixir into demonic power, avoiding the method of penance, and is even more loved by Qingniu.

A demon cultivator like him, who is not very intelligent and qualified, even if he has been in the demon world for a lifetime, it is impossible to obtain such a high-level exercise, it is simply a gift from God.

The gluttonous method also made Qingniu see the hope of his breakthrough, plus the human diet was thousands of times more delicious than the demon clan's diet, so he returned to the Xuanji faction earlier than the gray kite.

Jinling City is the capital of the Song Kingdom, and is in the rich land of the south of the Yangtze River, the restaurants and taverns here bring together the world's famous food, all kinds of fancy dishes are dazzling, the food dishes marked on the signboard, the guise and the water sign not only have the food of the three kingdoms of China, but also the foreign cuisine of Mengyuan, Jinguo, the Western Regions and other places.

Just by glancing at the restaurant, the delicious food made Qingniu's eyes shine, and he took a deep breath, and the refreshing and tempting aroma of the food made him salivate.

However, Qingniu saw that the master and the gray kite brother were still shopping seriously, and he didn't dare to propose to sit down and eat a big meal first, so he could only endure the hunger in his stomach and continue shopping with the two of them.

After shopping for more than half an hour, the three of Tianhuo walked through the first three-mile-long street market, and listened to kind passers-by say that this street is just a remote alley in the outer city, with no high-end shops, let alone good restaurants and inns.

With his handsome and kind face, Tianhuo quickly gained the trust of a kind aunt, and specifically instructed them not to waste time on the edge of the outer city, but to go to Yuhua Lane, which is close to the east gate of the inner city.

It is the most prosperous area of Jinling Outer City, whether it is accommodation, dining, viewing and shopping is an excellent place, all people who come to Jinling City will go there to take a turn, otherwise they will not really come to Jinling City.

After Tianhuo asked the route to Yuhua Lane, he gave the kind aunt a box of rouge to express her heart, and the aunt resolutely refused to accept it at first, and then heard Tianhuo say that this was the "Hundred Flowers Cream" brought from Yundian Province, and finally accepted it with a heartbeat.

When parting, the aunt was afraid that Tianhuo was a foreigner who did not understand the rules of the capital and caused some unnecessary trouble, so she specially told him what he needed to pay special attention to, and finally left the address of his home to Tianhuo, saying that her father-in-law was a patrol in the outer city, and if he encountered the oppression of local ruffians and hooligans, he could go to her house for help.

Tianhuo happily wrote down the address, thanked the aunt again for her care, and then left, leaving the kind aunt to sigh that there was such a good boy who was as gentle as jade and humbly taught in such a remote place in Yundian.

The three of them had just walked out of more than 100 zhang, and a loud "gurgling" sound suddenly came from the stomach of the green cow, which was unusually loud, which directly attracted the attention of people in a radius of three or four zhang.

Qingniu blushed and touched his head and said: "Master, senior brother, don't look at me like this, this is a natural reaction, yesterday we set off to climb Zhongshan in the middle of the night, and now it is almost noon, and the hunger in my stomach is unbearable! I'm sorry, I smeared Master's face." ”

Tianhuo knew that Qingniu had a lot of food, and now it was time for lunch, although Qingniu Bacheng deliberately made his stomach so loud, he had no intention of reprimanding, and said helplessly: "Okay, the time is almost up, let's go directly to Yuhua Lane, find the best inn there to stay, and call the best delicacies to eat." ”

Qingniu grinned happily, glad that he had succeeded in this strategy.

Yuhua Lane is indeed the most prosperous area in the outer city, and the prosperity here is not the noisy and noisy prosperity that is piled up by a large number of business travelers, but by the high-end prosperity set off by the exquisite buildings, clean streets and well-dressed but polite pedestrians.

Tianhuo felt very satisfied after seeing the scene of Yuhua Lane, but he didn't expect that there would be such an extraordinary street in the outer city where tens of millions of people lived.

Grey Kite and Green Ox also saw the difference between this place and the rest of the streets, although they didn't have much appreciation of the city's layout, and intuitively admitted that this was definitely the best place to go outside the city.

Tianhuo stood on the side of the road and observed for a long time, stopping a pot-bellied young man in Chinese clothes and asking which one was the best inn and the best wine shop in Yuhua Lane.

The fat young man with a big belly looked up and down the three of Tianhuo with disdain, there are not many people in Jinling who can ask such idiotic questions, it seems that they must be dirt buns from other places.

After careful consideration, the fat young man directly ignored the existence of the gray kite and the green cow, but he couldn't help but look at Tianhuo a few more times, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was extraordinary, which made him feel close.

The fat young man was secretly surprised in his heart, he was a well-known fool and stunned person in the outer city of Jinling, and there were few people he looked at pleasing to the eye on weekdays, but the young man in front of him made him look so pleasing to the eye, and he actually felt like a long-lost brother.

The fat young man secretly scolded in his heart: "Who is this young man? Why don't I hate him at all, and I still have a sense of closeness? Could it be that the old man is the illegitimate child outside?"

But as soon as he thought of his father, who was afraid of his wife like a tiger, the fat young man immediately dispelled this idea, and he didn't believe that his father dared to mess with flowers and grass outside, let alone give birth to an illegitimate child.

Since he saw that the other party was pleasing to the eye, and the other party asked him again, the fat young man decided to give some pointers, and he crossed his hands on his hips and said: "This brother, where are you from? Listening to the accent doesn't look like a local, why are you asking about this?"

Tianhuo smiled gently and said: "This brother, I am a student from Yundian Province who went to Beijing to study, I just arrived in the capital today, and I heard that Yuhua Lane is the most prosperous street in the outer city of Jinling, so I want to come here to see it." ”

With the fat young man's shallow knowledge, he didn't know where Yundian Province was, but when he heard that the other party was from another province, he completely overturned the possibility that he was his father's illegitimate child, so he became more enthusiastic.

The fat young man laughed and arched his hand: "It turns out that my brother is a student from other provinces who entered Beijing for the first time, then you are the right person to come to Yuhua Lane, this is the best place to go in the outer city of Jinling, let's get to know me first, brother, my name is Wanfeng, and I am nicknamed 'Yuhua Xiaobawang', you ask me about the situation of Yuhua Lane, which is the right person." ”

The queen of heaven also arched her hand and said: "It turned out to be Brother Wan, the younger brother Tianhuo, who has just arrived in the precious land, and I hope that my brother will give more guidance and care in the future!"

The fat young man didn't expect to call himself an elder brother, but the other party was not only not annoyed, but also called his brother, he liked such a straightforward and bold person, and his senses of Tianhuo were even better.

Wanfeng stepped forward and grabbed Tianhuo's arm and said: "Good brother, seeing each other is fate! Brother, I have nothing to do today to come out to gamble, I didn't expect to meet such a pleasing friend as you on the street, the gambling house will not go first, my brother will take you to see this Yuhua Lane." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but pull up the heavenly fire and enter Yuhua Alley, and the gray kite and the green cow silently glanced at each other and followed.

Qingniu said: "Senior brother, did the master use any secret method, why are the people he asks for directions so enthusiastic about him today?"

The gray kite looked at Tianhuo's back and said, "Master broke through the spiritual realm on the top of the mountain again in the morning, and the 'knowledge' character in the Knowing and Guarding the World has been cultivated.

When facing that aunt just now, the master used the artistic conception of 'knowing each other with warmth and cold' in an unconscious state, and the aunt immediately regarded him as her own nephew, and she couldn't wait to give him her heart and lungs.

Now that the master intends to use the artistic conception of 'a thousand cups of wine for a confidant' for this Wanfeng, this Wanfeng naturally can't resist the charm of the master, and at this time, he has already regarded the master as his friend for many years, so he will be so enthusiastic. ”

Qingniu snorted and said: "Master's mental method is simply against the sky, but fortunately he hasn't used it on us, otherwise the two of us won't be able to resist his mental method at all, and we would have bowed to him a long time ago, and it feels terrifying to think that we will be controlled like this!"

The gray kite said in a deep voice: "He has never used it on us, he has won our respect and recognition with his time and patience, it is like killing people and punishing the heart, more powerful than using Taoism to control us! If someone wants to kill Master now, will you fight to protect him?"

The expression on Qingniu's face became solemn, and he said viciously: "Whoever dares to touch a single hair of the master, I will kill him desperately to make the master angry!"

The gray kite sighed: "Alas, I think so too! So this is the real 'road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time', there are no tricks to win, and the people's hearts are the most difficult to prevent!"

After the gray kite finished speaking, he strode to keep up with the pace of Tianhuo and Wanfeng, Qingniu seemed to understand it, he was a simple person, since he didn't understand, he didn't delve into this problem, and quickly followed.
