Chapter 7 The wind passes through Luoyang, and the shadow of the stick is like a dragon and a man is like a jade

Chen Ziping's words, Xingyan suddenly seemed to be holding his breath, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

Chen Ziping saw that the originally talkative young man next to him was silent now, so he turned his face to look at it—but saw that the look on Xingyan's face was very strange.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziping was also very strange, but after thinking about it for a while, he turned his face and said apologetically to Xingyan:

"Please forgive the disciple for being rude, he should not call you Brother Dao - but you should be called Zhang Daozun, or Hall Master Zhang...... Disciples must pay attention in the future!"

"Huh?"

After Chen Ziping finished speaking, Xingyan came to his senses, and after understanding the meaning of Chen Ziping's words, Xingyan hurriedly said:

"Ahem, Brother Chen misunderstood what I meant; I just wanted to think about the three great sects, and I couldn't help but be fascinated, but I had nothing to do with Brother Chen. In the future, Brother Chen can still call me 'Brother Dao' -- if you don't see anything else, please call me 'Wake Up'! I can hear the word 'Brother Dao', but I am still a little unaccustomed to it. ”

"Well, actually, I also think it's a bit weird to call you 'Dao Zun' or 'Hall Master Zhang'. ”

It seems that this young disciple of the Shangqing Palace, who is not very good at words, is quite straightforward.

The two young men chatted all the way, but they did not feel bored with the journey; the two stayed in the village along the way, foraged for food in the town, and after about fourteen or fifteen days, they came to a village and town called Luoyang.

Wake up these days, I have also walked through many villages along the way, and when I arrived in Luoyang, I saw that this town is unique.

After entering the town and walking for a while, I felt that this Luoyang occupies a large area. I also saw that in this walled city, there are many green bamboos, and you can see patches of bamboo forests everywhere.

And the attire of the pedestrians on this street is also very different from what it seems all the way. Although many people are still Han people, or short plackets, or long robes, if decorated with patterns, most of them are mainly animals, plants, and geometric figures, but in addition to these similar clothes and dresses to the border of Narao Prefecture, there are also many men and women with strange clothes.

For example, along the way, Xingyan met many women, young and old, wearing trimmed or embroidered placket clothes on their upper bodies, with blue cloth scarves wrapped around their heads, silver pendant rings in their ears, and silver rows on their necklines. Knee-length culottes are often worn on the lower body, often embroidered with delicate lace on the hems. And those men in strange robes and fancy clothes mostly wear black right-cardigan tops with narrow sleeves, wide fat trousers, and many wrinkles at the hem of the trousers. Their sleeves and trousers are also trimmed with lace, but the colors and patterns are not as gorgeous and complicated as those worn by women.

I also saw several women, dressed differently: wearing short tops, pleated skirts, and mostly blue and white. What is particularly peculiar is that these women have a lot of silver ornaments on their bodies, and their heads, necks, chests, hands and other parts are hung with silver jewelry, and the hanging ring on the chest has many silver hanging chains, which are quite like wisps of tassels.

Looking at the hanging silver jewelry, Xingyan couldn't help but sigh to Chen Ziping beside him:

"Alas~ so much silver!

"Hehe, this Luoyang realm is the place where the Han Yi live. Most of the things you see are Miao people, Yi people, and they are still dressed in silver and jewelry, and the customs are like this—there are many strange folk customs here, which are really beyond the comprehension of cultivators like us. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Ziping's tone seemed to be a little sighing, but Xingyan was busy looking around at this never-before-seen customs and customs, and he didn't pay attention to the emotion in the words of the Shangqing Palace disciple beside him.

Seeing that the awakening words were quite lingering, and then looking at the heavenly head gradually slanting westward, Chen Ziping proposed:

"Since Brother Dao loves the scenery here so much, why don't we stop here and come back to this street tomorrow morning to watch?"

"Good!"

This proposal was exactly what the boy wanted, and he immediately agreed with it.

Xingyan recalled the mountains and rivers he had seen along the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

"These days are really eye-opening! And no matter how many spells you can learn when you go to the Shangqing Palace, the new scenery you have seen along the way will be worth the trip!"

After walking for a while, the two found an inn on the side of the street, and beckoned the shopkeeper to take the donkey and feed it, and the two rested here.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, the two got up and washed up, drank some gruel, and then greeted Chen Ziping and went to the street to wander around.

——Last night, I was dusty, and I didn't look at it carefully for a while; now that I have free time, I swayed and enjoyed the fun all the way, and I realized that in Luoyang Town, there are really not many bamboos in Luoyang Town in front of me.

The buildings on both sides of the street, whether they are houses or wine shops, are all bamboo buildings. The older ones, the bamboo building is light yellow. These green or yellow bamboo houses, under the shade of the verdant bamboo forest, look extraordinarily quiet and serene. Occasionally, a gust of wind will be the sound of bamboo leaves all over the street, and the unique freshness of the bamboo forest will blow in the wind, making the two of them feel extremely refreshed!

While he was strolling, Xingyan suddenly saw that there was a circle of people around the corner in front of him, and there were bursts of applause from time to time in the crowd. Anyway, he was also hanging out, so Xingyan pulled Chen Ziping and stepped forward to see the excitement.

When the two of them got closer, they realized that there were still a lot of people around here, three layers inside and three layers outside, and the two of them went around the pile, found a slightly sparse place, and squeezed in.

When I looked at the scene, I realized that it was a man who was performing on the streets.

I have probably said that scene, and now this man is performing in the center of the field. I saw that his upper body was naked, revealing his full body of muscles, and it was the stick technique that he performed.

It seems that this man is quite accomplished in stick skills, and the stick in his hand dances like a tiger and a tiger, just like that wheel, which is dazzling and dizzying.

Watching this stick dance wonderfully, the crowd of onlookers next to him also erupted in applause from time to time.

When I saw the wonderful place, I couldn't help but break my heart when I woke up, and I applauded loudly with others. While cheering, I sighed:

"It seems that there are really a lot of strange people in this river and lake!"

Not to mention the admiration in the young man's heart, but said that the man in that scene was also dancing to the head of the excitement - I saw him shouting, no longer dancing in place, but wandering all over the scene, and the eyebrow stick in his hand danced more happily. Now in the eyes of others, this stick seems to have some kind of magic on it, as if it has left the grasp of his hands, only around this man's body, dancing up and down, left and right, like a swimming dragon!

Seeing this scene, the onlookers forgot to cheer, and all quietly looked at the windmill-like stick shadow in the field. It wasn't until the man pulled a few beautiful sticks and put them away that everyone reacted, and in an instant, the crowd of onlookers burst into a burst of earth-shattering cheers—

The sound was so loud that it startled the crow that was foraging on the side of the street a few streets away, and suddenly startled, hovering over Luoyang, and the sound of rattling was endless.

In these crowds, the cheers in the mouth of Xingyan were also earth-shattering. And Chen Ziping, who was standing next to him, had an indifferent face, and didn't seem to care much about it-when he found this, he secretly praised it in his heart:

"It seems that this Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain is really extraordinary-this Shangqing Palace disciple's qi cultivation kung fu is really extraordinary!"

When the cheers of the crowd gradually subsided, the man was also very proud, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then hugged his fists all over the audience, and said loudly:

"Contemptible people are not talented, this stick technique is above the rivers and lakes, but it is also thin and prestigious-it is precisely because the jujube stick in my hand dances too fast, just like the seamless clothes of the sky; not; not; , my friends on the rivers and lakes gave me a nickname, called 'water, splash, no, in'!"

Hearing the last four words of the man, everyone applauded again. And Xingyan heard the words of this entertainer, but he couldn't help but think of the second-generation staff of the king next to Wanghu Tower half a year ago:

"Heh~ If you let this 'water can't splash' to hold the cane, I'm afraid that the second-generation cane brother won't dare to boast about that kind of Haikou anymore!"

In the past half a year, personnel have changed several times, and now when I think of the lewd man by Poyang Lake, I think it is still a little cute.

And the Jianghu man in that scene, everyone listened to the fun, and even came to the spirit, and in an instant, his mouth was like a river, and he praised his stick skills, and especially cited a few glorious examples of his own "water can't splash in", which is very colorful.

——The man's mouth is full of words, but the awakening words are listened to with relish.

Just as everyone was listening to the man's story, they were unguarded, and someone in the crowd suddenly said simply:

"What 'water can't be splashed'? I think it's just bragging!"

The voice of the person who spoke, to the sound of Xingyan, was a little milky!

And the man of the rivers and lakes was already talking about the excitement, and he was proud of himself, and as soon as this disappointing words fell into his ears, he was immediately furious:

"Which friend on the road is it? so faceless, but here to sweep the brother's field?!"

As he spoke, his eyes only wandered back and forth into the crowd, trying to find the person who was unashamed to provoke.

It was also strange to wake up, but I heard an old man dressed locally next to him say:

"Alas~ This stranger, I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky!"

"Exactly! I don't know who is so ignorant and dares to provoke such a strong man in martial arts!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the old man looked at him a little strangely and said:

The old man said that the person who was about to be unlucky was the man in the scene. ”

"Huh?!"

Xingyan's face was full of surprise.

"This little brother is also a foreigner, right?"

"Oh, old man, can you see this?"

Xingyan admired it in his heart - because he came out today to change into civilian clothes, and his speaking accent was no different from the Han people here.

"Hehe, it's not that the old man has eyesight - if it's a local person, who doesn't know the name of the little fox fairy?"

"Little fox fairy?"

Xingyan was at a loss for herself, but she saw a childish little girl in red suddenly walk into the field, and jumped in front of the man who was looking around.

I saw this little girl with her hands on her waist, and said to the man with a tender voice:

"Are you really that powerful, 'water can't splash'?"

"Of course...... Whose little girl? But don't bother me, I didn't see that the uncle was—huh?!"

The charlatans who were impatient, but felt that the voice of this girl was familiar:

"Are you the one who is causing trouble?"

At this time, Xingyan also saw it clearly.

This little girl who suddenly walked into the field, looking at it, was only eleven or twelve years old, and she still had two pigtails on her head. But look at her childish and tender face, but she is already born bright and beautiful, and she is a beautiful embryo - especially when her little mouth is pouted, people only feel that her face is pink, and they can't help but step forward and pinch it. This pretty face like snow, and then against the fiery red clothes, the whole person seems to be pink and jade!

"What a character!"

But it was the young man who woke up and couldn't help but praise - this way to the south, maybe the sun is getting stronger, and the farther she goes south, the more this woman's complexion is often not as fair as that of the north. Seeing such a good character at first glance, Xingyan couldn't help but admire.

"Little brother, she is the 'little fox fairy' that the old man just said!"

Seeing that Xingyan was confused, Chen Ziping, who was next to him, said loudly:

"What a fox fairy - this little girl in front of you is a fox demon. I don't know why there is such a custom in your land, and most of them don't regard that monster as evil, and call it an immortal!"

The second half of the sentence was said to the old man, and when he said this, Chen Ziping looked depressed.

"Heh~ This Taoist chief, if you want the old man to say, the alien elves in the world are not all bad. ”

Hearing this, the disciple of the Shangqing Palace still looked unimpressed, but Xu Shijing respected the old man's age, but he no longer said anything to refute.

While the three of them were talking, they saw the little girl on the field, as if she was annoyed that others said that she was young, so she said that she wanted to try the man's stick skills.

And the man in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't know that this girl was confident, and she didn't know who came out of this little girl who didn't know the height of the sky-but she just used her milk smell to show her means, so that the people of Luoyang knew that he was a good man in Zhenzhou, Zhao's ability to "splash water with a stick" - and he was willing to give away that large amount of gold and silver!
