After getting off the boat, they separated from Chu Yunyu and Liu Qinghui, and the two of them went to the nearby market and spent money to buy a carriage to use to hurry. The carriage went north.

Chen Sanlang wanted to go to the shore of Dongting Lake for a turn, thinking to himself, I don't know if Xu Nianniang's father and daughter are still here. If they are there, they will be happy to meet each other.

Find a local first and ask about the customs. After spending 500 dollars, I basically have a general understanding of the local situation.

Dongting Lake is as vast as the sea, bordering the four major counties of Zhongzhou, Yangzhou, Yongzhou and Mingzhou, but with such a large area, the most famous is undoubtedly the area of Dongting Town, which is located at the corner of Yangzhou and Mingzhou.

Speaking of Dongting Lake, it basically refers to this place in a narrow sense.

Dongting Town, Yueyang Tower, and Longjun Mountain, which has the most abundant resources, are all here. And the ancient battlefield of the previous dynasty, the lost place of the "Dayu Treasury" that was talked about was also here.

The lake is vast, and it is impossible for Chen Sanlang to walk around completely, in that case, it will take at least a few months, so the area he focuses on visiting is Dongting Town.

The wharf where the boat was docked was still a day's journey from Dongting Town, so he hired a horse-drawn carriage to drive there - since the last time he went to Yangzhou, Chen Sanlang had more eyes.

The world is vast, the population is thousands, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. There are black cars, and there are more black shops. Their existence is far more insidious and insidious than thieves, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Although Chen Sanlang has magic and some martial arts, if he is careless and encounters indiscriminate methods, he is not safe. I don't know how many heroes and heroes, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, indispensable. In the end, he was murdered by Xiao Xiao and died in a daze.

At nightfall. The carriage arrived in Dongting Town. Get off at the head of town and take a horse-drawn carriage back. Be sure of God. Chen Sanlang saw a stone monument erected on the street:

"Dongting!"

The two words are twisted and crooked, like the words of children's graffiti, which looks weird.

Chen Sanlang has also traveled to the north and south in the past few months, and has been to many places, but whenever there is a larger market town, he will erect inscriptions and write the names of places.

Those words are either block letters, upright and awe-inspiring, or they are calligraphy. Even-fold openings and closings.

I have never seen a word like this in front of me.

After watching it for a while, he didn't notice anything, so Chen Sanlang didn't pay attention to it anymore and stepped into the town - he didn't know that Xu Jun had entered the town in this way at dusk many days ago.

I found an inn to live in, this place is worthy of the name of "scenic spot", and the accommodation is expensive. Compared with Yangzhou, it is twice as expensive, which is staggering.

Come down and eat, sure enough. For the price of a plate of meat, you can buy a sheep anywhere else.

When you're full, go upstairs to rest. The next morning. Get up and freshen up, and officially start shopping.

Because it's been too long. He didn't expect to meet Xu Nianniang's father and daughter. Although the saying goes, "no book is made without coincidence", this is really very slim. Expectations are too high, but disappointments are heavy. Therefore, this trip is more out of the psychology of playing knowledge.

Dongting Tianxia is water, Yueyang Tianxia is upstairs.

Chen Sanlang heard this sentence so that his ears were calloused, and he finally arrived at the place today, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't look good.

Yueyang Tower and Dongting Town are next to each other, and you can go out and turn a corner.

The first floor of Yueyang Building is based on granite, which is hard and solid. Three-storey wooden building, cornices, bucket arches, elegant and classical, and there is a magnificent and dignified momentum erupting.

Entering the building, there is a square hall at first, the corridors on both sides, each with a side hall, and the stairs go up, the second floor and the third floor, the architectural style is the same. On some shadow walls, there are a lot of ink treasures of literati from the past and present, including poems, lyrics, songs and articles, all available.

Under Mobao, the author's name is written, and they are all celebrities.

Chen Sanlang even saw Zhou Fencao's work, he wrote about the Seven Uniques. Reading it, the rhythm is rigorous, the rhetoric is exquisite, and the poetry is rippling, which is a masterpiece.

After walking on the second floor, go up to the third floor, and finally look out at the railing, and see the blue waves in the distance, among which there are small islands standing, fishing boats swaying, sometimes gulls and birds flying, leading the neck to sing for a long time......

It's really picturesque and stunningly beautiful. It is as if the boiling lake water rushes to the heart, which can make people feel ambitious and relaxed.

Thinking that day, the little dragon girl Ao Qingmei fled from this lake, turned into a red carp, and fled thousands of miles......

After stopping to watch for a long time, Chen Sanlang sighed and turned to go downstairs. I was secretly surprised in my heart, it is said that this ancient building has no specific owner, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so who is doing the daily maintenance and management? Is it the people from Dongting Town?

Just as I was thinking about it, when I went down to the second floor, I saw an old man holding a broom and slowly sweeping the steps.

This old man is hunched like a peak, high and bulging, but because of his own stature, even if he is hunchbacked, the whole person looks tall, giving people a peculiar feeling.

He was very old, with a sparse head, a face wrinkled like tree bark, and some black old age spots.

These spots, even on the hands.

Chen Sanlang suddenly noticed the unusual details, and he felt that the spots on the old man's face and hands seemed to be very regular, oval-shaped, and the color was not quite the same as the normal old age spots.

I couldn't help but take a second look.

The old man suddenly stopped sweeping the floor and grinned at him: "Childe go downstairs, be careful of the steps." ”

There are no teeth left in his mouth, and it is very hollow.

Chen Sanlang's heart sank, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you for mentioning it." ”

Step by step, down the stairs, down to the first floor, never looking back. Because just now when the old man looked at him and opened his mouth to speak, a very intense wave of emotion passed through his mind.

There is fear in this feeling.

Because of fear, he warned Chen Sanlang and desperately reminded him to stay away from the old man.

Xiaojian warned, this is not the first time, but it is the first time that he is afraid. In the past, when encountering corpses, crabs, etc., the small sword warned him, but he was excited, and he almost wanted to break the box and fly away, showing his edge to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and kill evil spirits.

But this time, it actually showed fear, like a sheep seeing a tiger!

No, in that feeling, Xiaojian also expressed some unwillingness...... Fear, or just a subconscious avoidance based on the disparity in absolute power, does not mean that it is completely cowardly......

It's just that this old man who bends over Yueyang Tower and sweeps the floor, like a slave, is sacred?

After Chen Sanlang went downstairs, the old man continued to bow his head and sweep the floor, his movements were very slow, but every time, it was very powerful, and where it was swept, every step immediately became extremely clean:

"It's a little funny little guy......"

The low voice was inaudible. (To be continued......)
