Chapter 21: Qingshan City
"Crunch", the heavy Yaoguang door slowly opened, and a group of dozens of people soon appeared in everyone's sight, an old man in his early sixties, took the lead in the front, this person looked quite capable, no other elderly people should have a big belly, dressed unusually plain, a gray robe and a black belt around the waist, with a very natural match!
"Brother Guanhai, in my busy schedule, coming to the humble house really makes my Qingshan City shine. It was the old man in the gray robe who spoke, and he was also the city lord of this Qingshan City, Ouyang Shanhe.
"Ouyang City Lord, don't be presumptuous, your Qingshan City is one of the eight major cities in the world, if you are a humble house, my Sword Casting Villa will be embarrassed. Li Guanhai got down from the carriage and came to Ouyang Shanhe, clasped his hands into fists, and responded with a spring breeze on his face.
"Brother Guanhai, it's funny, I haven't seen you for many years, but your demeanor is still the same. Ouyang Shanhe didn't dwell too much on this issue, and turned to the woman in white and said, "This is..."
Before Ouyang Shanhe finished speaking, Li Guanhai hurriedly took the words and said, "Ouyang City Lord, I'm just anxious, this is the eldest lady of my Sword Casting Villa, Shangguan Mingyue." ”
The woman in white immediately stepped forward, bowed to Ouyang Shanhe, and said politely: "Mingyue has seen Ouyang City Lord. ”
Ouyang Shanhe stroked his beard, laughed out loud in an instant, and said: "I have long heard that the owner of Shangguan Zhuang, a pair of children are born beautiful, and when I see it today, it is really as good as his name!"
Li Guanhai saw that Shangguan Mingyue was at a loss for a while, so he took over the topic and said, "City Lord, don't you invite me to your City Lord's Mansion to sit." ”
"Look at my memory, patronize and reminisce, forget about it, Brother Guanhai, please. Ouyang Shanhe moved his body to the side, stretched out his right hand forward, made a gesture of please, and the group of Sword Casting Villa drove into Qingshan City in a mighty way.
"The lord of the city has decreed that a distinguished guest will come today, and the city gate will be opened from now on. The solemn voice of the guard of the city tower reached everyone's ears under the Yaoguang Gate.
Everyone under the city gate was discussing: It is still the face of the Sword Villa, and the blessing of the Sword Villa can enter the city in advance.
Entering Qingshan City, Mo Yun was completely impressed by the grand momentum of Qingshan City, although he was prepared in his heart, but after being immersed, he was shocked, there are a total of eight vertical and eight horizontal sixteen main streets in Qingshan City, each street is ten zhang wide, with endless pavilions and pavilions on both sides of the street, outlining the whole picture of Qingshan City, looking up, on every street, the crowd is endless, all kinds of business, shouting, endless, prosperous, lively, this is the style of the eight major cities in the world!
Mo Yun Xuanxue and the others are now on the most luxurious street in the entire Qingshan City, on this street is not only located the city lord's mansion, but also many shops and restaurants, and the pedestrians on the street are three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water is impassable. The two of them had never seen so many people and such magnificent buildings, as if they had entered the Grand View Garden, they were novel, curious, and completely dazzled.
"Catch the thief, catch the thief, everyone help me catch him!" Mo Yun's attention was attracted to the past, and he saw that two figures ran out of an inn not far away, one after the other, chasing each other on the street, and in front of him was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, his clothes were in tatters, and there were many patches, and his hair was quite messy! Behind him was a man in his early forties, with a fat head, big ears, a big belly, and a whole body, shining golden jewelry, unusually dazzling, which can be described as quite a local tyrant.
With the arrival of these two people, the streets suddenly jumped with chickens and dogs, so lively.
"Stop, stop, stop me. The fat-headed and big-eared local tyrant shouted while running: "Who can help me catch the little rabbit cub in front, the uncle will have a bounty of ten taels." ”
As soon as these words came out, the pot exploded, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and after a short period of effort, with the help of a few big men, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was easily subdued.
The fat-headed and big-eared local tyrant gasped, and said breathlessly: "Little rabbit cub, why don't you run away, dare to break ground on Uncle Ben, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”
"Dead fat pig, why arrest me, it's great to be rich, the young master is not afraid of shadows, so he quickly let me go. The boy struggled and retorted.
When the fat-headed and big-eared tyrant heard the young man's words, he immediately lifted the gold belt up, and the fat on his belly immediately shrank a lot, and he stepped forward and said to the young man, "Why did I arrest you, just because you stole Uncle Ben's things." After speaking, the fat big hand stretched forward, pulled a shiny thing from the young man's neck, raised it high, and said to the onlookers: "Everyone, please see, this is my family heirloom, just now carelessly, was taken away by this little thing." ”
Everyone saw clearly at this time that this shiny thing was a jade pendant, crystal clear, although it was not made of what material, but it was not ordinary at first glance, and then looked at the young man's dress, it was impossible to have this thing, so most people believed what the fat head and big ears said and condemned it.
The young man still wanted to argue, but there was no chance at all, under the instruction of the fat-headed and big-eared local tyrant, several strong men quickly surrounded the young man, and for a while, the sound of fists and feet accompanied by the young man's screams were everywhere.
"Alright, alright, for the sake of him being a minor, forget it. "The fat-headed and big-eared local tyrant signaled everyone to stop, and if they continue to fight, I'm afraid they will really die!
A few strong men stopped the movements in their hands unsatisfied, their eyes were greedy and eager, and naturally they couldn't escape the eyes of the local tyrants, only to hear the local tyrants say: "Go, brothers, hard work, Master Qian, I will be the east, treat the three heroes well!"
Hearing this, the three of them nodded with satisfaction, and then followed the local tyrant away.
Looking at the lively crowd, although they were very sympathetic to the bloody wounds on the young man's body, but after thinking about it, what the young man did was much more comfortable, and they dispersed one after another.
The street was back to its usual state, as if nothing had happened, except for a bloodied boy on the ground.
On the street, this small episode that happened, as bystanders, Mo Yun and Xuan Xue naturally had it in their eyes, from the beginning of drifting, to slowly confused, and finally to anger and sympathy, but more helpless.
After everything was calm, Mo Yun came to the young man, stretched out his hands, helped the young man up from the cold ground, and said with concern: "You are okay." ”
The young man slapped his chest a few times with his right hand, smoothed out, and said, "We know each other?"
Mo Yun looked at the vigilant young man and explained: "The first time we met, my name is Mo Yun, I am from Mojia Village in the southwest of the Wuji Mountains, and behind me is my sister. ”
Hearing Mo Yun's sincere words, the young man's vigilance dropped a lot: "How did you know that the jade pendant was mine, so many people didn't see it, are they all blind." ”
"My sister was born with good eyes and can see things that ordinary people can't. Mo Yunshun pointed to Xuan Xue behind him.
It turned out that when the fat-headed and big-eared local tyrant dragged the jade pendant off the young man's neck, Xuan Xue was deeply attracted by the jade pendant, so he secretly observed with the third eye on his forehead, and found that this jade pendant was not an ordinary jade pendant, it contained a very rich earth element force, and it also exuded the same breath as the teenager. On the other hand, the fat-headed and big-eared local tyrants, although they have reached the realm of the double heaven, the yuan power they have cultivated is the gold yuan power, and the smell of copper is exuded all over the body, which is incompatible with the breath of the jade pendant. Therefore, Xuan Xue judged that the jade pendant must be a young man's thing.
Xuan Xue told Mo Yun about the conclusion she had reached, and wanted to stand up for the young man, but Mo Yun stopped him in time, and explained to Xuan Xue in a low voice: "Don't act rashly, their cultivation is the lowest level is also the realm of the Double Heaven, you and I have limited ability, and it is futile to go up, we need to think about it in the long run." This is the conversation between Mo Yun and the boy just now.
After the young man saw Xuan Xue behind Mo Yun, he was stunned for a while, Xuan Xue's ethereal temperament, no matter where he was, was a different existence!
Mo Yun coughed lightly and pulled the boy back to reality.
The young man scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "My name is Jiang Yu, I am thirteen years old this year, and I grew up in Qingshan City since I was a child. ”
"Hello, Jiang Yu, after reporting each other's names, we will know each other. Mo Yun stretched out his right hand again to show favor to Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu also stretched out his right hand, and the two little hands were tightly clasped together.
There is a seven-storey building in the center of Qingshan City, very majestic, surrounded by many two- to three-storey attics, as the city lord's mansion, usually here is very lively, today is unprecedented, in order to meet the people of the Sword Villa, Ouyang Shanhe can be said to have done enough face, not only the whole city has a face and face have been invited, but also hired a circus troupe to perform, lion dance, stilts, rowing boats have everything, this scene, the original lively scene, the top to the most.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, after the guests and hosts were seated, Ouyang Shanhe introduced the celebrities from all walks of life in Qingshan City to Li Guanhai and Shangguan Mingyue one by one, Li Guanhai also enjoyed it enthusiastically, after a simple implication, Li Guanhai entered the topic, got up, arched his hand, expressed his intention to Ouyang Shanhe, and said: "Qingshan City is worthy of being one of the eight major cities in the world. ”
Ouyang Shanhe also arched his hand to Li Guanhai and said: "Who in the world doesn't know the name of your brother Guanhai, this is too famous, you can come to Qingshan City, it is enough to give me the face of Qingshan City!"
"Ouyang City Lord, let's not be polite, we don't hide it, I came here today, I really have a request for Ouyang City Lord. ”
Hearing Li Guanhai's words, the smile on Ouyang Shanhe's face stagnated for a moment, and immediately returned to normal, responding: "What you can't solve in Sword Forging Villa, I'm afraid that my little Qingshan City can't help." ”
Ouyang Shanhe's reaction, Li Guanhai seemed to have been prepared, and said unhurriedly: "Ouyang City Lord, if you don't have anything to do, you will not be able to go to the Three Treasures Palace." Then he gave the entourage a look, and the entourage immediately understood and handed Li Guanhai a gift list.
Li Guanhai took the gift list, turned to Ouyang Shanhe and said, "Before this trip, the owner of the village specially explained to me that Qingshan City has always been friendly with the Sword Casting Villa, a little respect, and asked Ouyang City Lord to smile." After speaking, he wrapped the gift list with Yuan Li and flew to Ouyang Shanhe.
Ouyang Shanhe took it with his hand, gently put it on the table, did not open the gift list, and said with a smile: "Decades ago, I was unfortunately in danger, thanks to the rescue of the owner of Shangguan Village, I was able to save the day. ”
"Ouyang City Lord, you can still remember the grace of dripping water back then, and it is really righteous. ”
"Brother Guanhai, if you have something, it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, you will definitely help. ”
Li Guanhai pondered for a moment, took a sip of water, and said slowly: "City Lord Ouyang, I won't beat around the bush, what do you think of my young lady." ”
Ouyang Shanhe glanced at Shangguan Mingyue and immediately replied: "Shangguan girl is the dragon and phoenix among people, not only is her appearance peerless, but her cultivation at a young age has reached the realm of the double heaven, and her future is unlimited." Ouyang Shanhe's words resonated unanimously with everyone in the hall, and they all nodded in agreement.
"Then my young lady, can you worship under the Seven Stars Gate. Li Guanhai said something that shocked everyone.
Everyone didn't understand at all, Li Guanhai worked hard just to let Shangguan Mingyue worship under the Seven Stars Sect, as we all know, the threshold for recruiting disciples in the Seven Stars Sect is the lowest among the four major sects, as long as the cultivation reaches the realm of a heavy heaven, you can get started, and regardless of your background, why Li Guanhai will come in person, is it possible that there is a different kind of scheme!
Ouyang Shanhe, his expression was as usual, and after a little consideration, he said calmly: "Brother Guanhai, the matter of Miss Shangguan's apprenticeship will be handed over to you, and I will definitely do my best." ”
Before Li Guanhai could speak, Shangguan Mingyue hurriedly got up and said to Ouyang Shanhe: "Thank you Ouyang Shibo for your success, Mingyue will keep it in mind!"
