The ancient road horse is delayed, and the high willow is neighing.

Outside the sunset island, on the autumn wind plain, the eyes are broken for four days.

Hongzhou City, one of the thirteen states of the Central Plains, is located in the north of the Central Plains, the throat of the world, adjacent to the sacred land of cultivating immortals Tianying Mountain in the north, since the establishment of Qianlong Mansion 10,000 years ago, it has witnessed countless vicissitudes of life in this Hongzhou City, witnessed countless prosperity and decline, and the changes of the world, only this city stands majestically.

The morning sun is rising, the warm sunlight is sprinkled on this ancient city, the bright light makes the city more and more charming, the huge and ancient reckless momentum gushes up from the city like a mountain, and two people appear on an ancient avenue in the east city.

The black-robed young man, with a handsome face and a smile, seems to be cynical, his eyes are deep and seem to be full of affection, his black hair is tied behind him at will, and he is a beautiful young man.

The girl in the white skirt, holding a white jade flute in her jade hand, is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, but her face is slightly sad and cold, which makes people feel pity.

The white-dressed girl's steps seemed to be a little heavy, walking on this ancient road, relatively speaking, the black-robed young man was obviously much more cheerful, looking left and right, as if he was unwilling to let go of every inch of this huge city, with infinite longing in his eyes, but the pace followed the white-dressed girl in front of him unhurriedly.

Suddenly, the girl in the white dress stopped on the spot, turned her head to look directly at the black-robed young man, and said angrily, "Jing Fan, can you stop following me!"

"Hey, hey. The black-robed young man named Jing Fan was frightened, scratched the back of his head with his hand, showed a harmless smile, and said, "Yunxi beauty, we are all going to Tianying Mountain to seek immortal apprenticeship, why don't we go together?"

"You!"

Yunxi was so angry with Jing Fan's kraft candy temperament that he couldn't cry or laugh, stomped his feet, snorted coldly, turned around and walked away quickly, leaving Jing Fan with a charming shadow.

Although he was rejected by Yunxi, Jing Fan still followed with a faceless attitude of being invincible in the world, and the two of them walked through this Hongzhou City one after the other, shouting and shouting at others, and the voices of the people were boiling, and the two of them walked by themselves.

Hongzhou City is worthy of being one of the thirteen states in the Central Plains, the two of them walked for an hour one after the other, and it was only from Dongcheng District to the area of Xicheng District, Yunxi glanced coldly at the young man who followed him, and shook his head helplessly, since the two met outside the city three days ago, he has been following him, although the destination of the two is Tianying Mountain, which is admired by ten thousand people, and there is no deep friendship, but the young man who looks innocent has been following him, like a kraft candy, he can't get rid of it.

After passing through one ancient road after another, turning one alley after another, Yunxi also felt helpless, it seemed that he couldn't get rid of this sticky teenager, and walked for about half an hour, stopping in front of a very small tavern in Xicheng District.

'Breeze Tavern'

Yunxi glanced up at the signboard that looked quaint and abnormal, a little bright color flashed in his beautiful eyes, hesitated, ignored Jing Fan, who had already followed, and walked in.

"Alas, I finally didn't leave, I'm tired to death!"

Jing Fan pinched his waist, strode with his legs apart, panted and stood at the door of the 'Qingfeng' tavern, and said to himself: "I'm tired enough to walk such a long way, and I don't know how this girl is still refreshed!"

The tavern is indeed very small, there are no guests, there are only five or six simple tables in the room, it looks like the years are very old, but it is still cleaned up, the bluestone slabs on the ground are baptized by the years and glow with crystal light, the mahogany shelves behind the counter are full of all kinds of wine jars, the faint aroma of wine permeates the entire tavern, making people feel more comfortable, and the man who settles accounts bows his head and writes something on the counter.

Yunxi chose a table in the corner, and the guy put on two jars of wine, as soon as the lid was opened, the smell of strong incense spread, and the smell was intoxicating, Yunxi poured a full cup and gently sent it to his mouth, the wine entered his throat, the temperature of his body increased a little, and his snow-white skin seemed to add a little luster.

"Good wine, happy!"

Jing Fan didn't have many scruples, picked up the wine jar and took a big sip, wiped the wine stains from his mouth, shouted satisfaction, and shouted at the guy: "Man, what kind of wine is this?"

"Peach blossom drunk. ”

The guy still lowered his head and wrote something on the counter, he didn't speak, the voice came from the inner room behind the counter, Jing Fan and Yunxi looked into the inner room, and a man dressed in purple came out of it, the man was handsome, with a slender body, a jade face with a smile, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, holding a cyan jade fan in his hand, walking with a lot of style, if it was a woman, he must be a master who turned all beings upside down, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was charming.

The man in purple was not polite, he walked straight to the table where the two of them were and sat down, gently shook the cyan jade fan with his right hand, looked at Jing Fan and the others, and said, "My 'Qingfeng Tavern' has not been patronized for three years, and today's 'Peach Blossom Drunk' is what I invited you." ”

Yunxi didn't say anything, just quietly tasted the wine in the cup, this wine seems to have a magical magic, which is addictive, but Jing Fan, took another big sip, his face was a little red, and he learned the tone of a chivalrous man, and said: "Then thank you boss, but boss, it seems that your business in this store is not very good!"

"Hehe, the little brother laughed. The purple-clothed man smiled faintly, glanced at the white jade flute in Yunxi's hand, was a little surprised in his heart, turned his gaze to Jing Fan, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's not that no one comes, but whoever I want to let in this tavern can come in!"

The man in purple stared at Jing Fan, those eyes seemed to see through time, through the years, and through everything in the world, these eyes could see almost everything in Jing Fan's past, with a smile on his face, and the words changed, and said: "The peach blossoms brewed 'Peach Blossom Drunk' are produced from the Wuzhi Peak of Tianying Mountain." ”

Hearing this, Yunxi's delicate body, who had been drinking silently, was shocked, and his beautiful eyes stared at the man in purple, how could the owner of this ordinary tavern have the peach blossoms of the immortal holy land, could it be that this person in front of him was the kind of master who lived in seclusion in the market, the man in purple met Yunxi's gaze, and there was still a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, which made it difficult for people to feel disgusted.

"Little brother, we are also fateful, the first time we enter, I will give you a gift!"

The purple-clothed man turned his eyes to Jing Fan, who was already slightly drunk, and shook his head helplessly, this kid, the amount of alcohol is too bad, with a flick of his fingers, purple light appeared, and a simple scabbard appeared on the table, the scabbard was dark purple throughout, and complex lines were engraved on it, and these lines as a whole looked like an underground world.

"Hey, thank you, boss!"

Jing Fan was already a little drunk and selfless, smirking vigorously, holding the wine jar with his left hand and the scabbard with his right hand, his body staggered and wanted to stand up, but he couldn't use his strength.

"Little girl, it seems that this little brother can't hurry, he can only rely on you!" The man in purple looked at Yunxi and said.

"I just met him in the water. Yunxi was expressionless, glanced at Jing Fan, who was already lying on the table, and said lightly.

The man in purple smiled bitterly, his eyes seemed to be a little sad, stared at the white flute, and said, "This is the cloud flute, right?"

"Sir, do you know this flute?" Yunxi was quite surprised, the feeling that this man in purple gave him was too mysterious, as if there was nothing in this world that he didn't know.

"If you come to me again in the future, I'll answer some things for you. ”

The man in purple diverted the topic and mentioned another irrelevant matter, but Yunxi was more interested in him, and the man in purple in front of him seemed to know some mysteries in his heart, but with his first feeling, he would not say it now, so he had to answer: "Then thank you, sir." ”

The purple-clothed man nodded, the fan in his hand lightly nodded at Jing Fan, and said, "Then now, can you take care of this little brother?"

Yunxi looked at the drunken Jing Fan, and shook his head helplessly, it really makes people cry and laugh, what kind of demon is this kid.

Yunxi picked up the drunk Jing Fan, pinned the white jade flute and the dark purple sword scabbard to his waist, and walked out of the tavern under the eyes of the man in purple, the account man still bowed his head and wrote, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

It has entered the dusk, the sunset is sinking in the west, reflecting the sunset for half a day, surging Hongzhou City like a tide, beautiful as a picture scroll, one by one elongated figures, and like people in the painting.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on this tavern, illuminating half of the face of the purple-clothed man, who gently waved the jade fan, and said something in his mouth:

"The old has been given to the new, you can rest assured!"

Guiyun disappeared without a trace, the tavern fell silent again, and the man in purple returned to the inner room again, the white paper in front of the bookkeeper had already been written in a thick stack, and a faint insect chirp sounded in the corner.
