Chapter 34: Descending the Mountain
Ignoring the small movements between Tian Buyi and Cangsong Daoren, Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled and took out an object from his arms and handed it to Zhou Bai, "Take it." ”
Zhou Bai took a look, but it was a small mirror, with an ancient shape, bronze edges, engraved dragons on the top, tigers carved below, the gossip directions engraved on the mirror, but the middle lens was not an ordinary copper mirror, and Huang Mengmeng couldn't see clearly.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew that this was the reward "Xuanguang Mirror" that I had set before.
Zhou Bai raised the bronze mirror with both hands, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Master Master." "On the bronze mirror is a small piece of jade, but the whole body is verdant but extremely ordinary, obviously a stubborn stone is dotted, and the aura in it is only enough to be viewed once. When the aura is exhausted, it will turn back into a useless stubborn stone, and it will be useless again.
Walking outside the hall, Zhou Baixian and Tian Buyi walked aside, Tian Buyi glanced at him, and said lightly: "You are now burdened with a heavy responsibility, don't go back to Dazhu Peak, wait a minute, go down the mountain with the three of them, I'll tell you about Dazhu Peak." Also, remember to collect materials and forge a sword for yourself. ”
Zhou Bai nodded yes.
Tian Buyi turned his back, waved his hand, and said hello, and then sacrificed the fairy sword to break through the air.
Zhou Bai's heart moved, and he suddenly turned around, startling Zeng Shushu. Zeng Shushu paused for a moment, and the hand that was about to put on Zhou Bai's shoulder was withdrawn awkwardly, and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Zhang is really powerful, I will say that you are the champion of this year's Seven Veins Martial Arts." ”
Zhou Bai smiled: "I've never heard you say that. Looking around, he found that the seats of the other veins had all gone, leaving only the two of them and Lu Xueqi, who was standing alone in the distance.
Zeng Shushu folded the fan, gently stabbed Zhou Bai's arm, and whispered, "We can earn it this time." ”
Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, looked at the light in Zeng Shushu's eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although he was talking to Zhou Bai, Zeng Shushu didn't pay attention to Zhou Bai's expression at all, only to see his eyebrows fluttering, he kept peeking to the side, and said with a smile: "There are beautiful women with you, of course you have earned it." ”
Obviously, Lu Xueqi noticed Zeng Shushu's words, turned her eyes to look here, and was looking at Zhou Bai.
She couldn't remember the first time they had looked at each other, and the only thing that seemed to have crossed paths between the two seemed to be those few lines of conversation in the ring, but something between the two seemed to make them always make eye contact, consciously or unconsciously.
Zhou Bai and Lu Xueqi staggered their eyes at the same time, Zhou Bai continued to talk and laugh with Zeng Shushu, but Lu Xueqi left quietly without knowing when.
.....
Looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, the same is true for going down the mountain.
As soon as a few people came out of Qingyunmen, they saw Heyang City in the distance through the clouds, passing through the clouds and mountains, and it was not until dusk that Zhou Bai and others rushed outside Heyang City.
To avoid suspicion, they landed in a secluded spot outside Heyang City and walked into the city along the path.
As the sun sets, a touch of sunset stains the mountains on the horizon, and the afterglow slanted through the dead leaves falling from the forest.
Qi Hao, the person present, has the most experience and is the chief of Longshou Peak, so he should have led the way, but walking in front of everyone was Zeng Shushu, who was struggling and gushing.
"Within a radius of 100 miles, this is the largest and most prosperous place. The people living in this city have 200,000 or 300,000 people, and the geographical location is good, and there are many business trips, and it is even more lively......"
Whether it is customs or local food, Zeng Shushu came one by one, and what he said was well-founded, which made the three people next to him frequently look sideways.
Qi Hao smiled indifferently: "Senior Brother Zeng really knows everything?"
Zeng Shushu was colorful, and he smiled and said, "What is this, I will naturally know if I read more books." Saying that, he smiled slyly, secretly attached his ear to Zhou Bai's ear, and whispered: "Actually, I have been here many times, and I have sneaked down the mountain." ”
Zhou Bai was dumbfounded.
Listening to the two of them muttering beside him, Qi Hao smiled slightly, and said to Lu Xueqi beside him: "Senior Sister Lu, it's getting late, let's spend the night here tonight, and let's hurry tomorrow." ”
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as ice, without the slightest expression, only nodded lightly.
In order to avoid trouble, they changed the clothes of the Qingyunmen disciples early in the morning, and now they entered the city, which did not arouse any suspicion, but Lu Xueqi's appearance was beautiful, but it caused quite a stir, causing many passers-by to stop and watch.
And although her face was expressionless, her bright eyes finally flashed with a trace of anger, Zhou Bai and the three of them couldn't help but worry about these passers-by, in case they came out of the sheath one day, they were afraid that half of this historic ancient city would be destroyed first.
Even if Qi Hao has deep experience, how can he be familiar with Zeng Shushu, under the leadership of Zeng Shushu, the four of them soon came to an inn called "Shanhaiyuan", and as soon as they entered the inn, they were arranged by the store to live in the best back garden.
This Shanhai Garden is quite large, there are four other gardens in the back garden, the four of them live in the West Garden, each of them has a house, go back to rest, Qi Hao called everyone, to the front of the restaurant to eat.
Shanhaiyuan has its own restaurant, located on the most lively street in Heyang City, but in the VIP hall on the third floor, it is very clean, there are less than ten tables in the spacious hall, and now there are about five tables with guests eating. Qi Hao called Xiao Er and ordered a few dishes, seeing that he was very familiar with this place, most of them were regular customers.
Zeng Shushu's expression moved, and he pulled Zhou Bai and whispered, "It seems that Senior Brother Qi Hao is also a frequent visitor." ”
Zhou Bai glanced at Zeng Shushu, and condensed the voice into a line, "Senior Brother Qi Hao often goes out to practice, so he will naturally be familiar with the situation here." However, Senior Brother Zeng still needs to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to be reported to Uncle Zeng by Senior Brother Qi. ”
Lu Xueqi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she glanced at Zhou Bai and Zeng Shushu suspiciously, she once again felt the fluctuation of her aura, and she probed again but found nothing.
After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few plates of side dishes to the table, especially at the end there was a plate of fresh stewed fish, see that the body of the fish is extended, the front part is round, the back side is narrow, the body is dark brown, there are two pairs of whiskers, thick and long. The most important thing is that the meat is white and fragrant, which makes people appetize.
The fragrance was around his nose, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, and he asked the clerk: "Xiao Er, what kind of fish is this fish called, and how is it cooked?"
The shopkeeper laughed and said official, you really have a vision, this 'stewed fish' is the signature dish of our Shanhaiyuan, fragrant and tender, sweet in the mouth, within a hundred miles of this Heyang City, but it is very famous......"
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a woman's voice at a big table next door: "This fish is a specialty of Zhugou Mountain in the south, it is thousands of miles away from here, how can it be transported, isn't your store a lie?"
Everyone was taken aback, and looked over, only to see that on the big table, there were eight people, six men in yellow clothes, and two women, one woman was dressed in a light purple dress, her face was covered with a light veil, and her face could not be seen clearly, but the exposed skin was snow-white; the other woman was the one who spoke, not very old, only sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a water-green shirt, with a beautiful appearance, thin eyebrows and snow skin, and a pair of bright big eyes that were crystal and smart, like an unrestrained elf in the field, which made people yearn for it.
