Chapter 22: Lost Cloud City
Miaoqi saw it, "aha", and left everyone and rushed over. Lin Zhongyu and the ram also walked into the tea shop, but saw that only a dozen square tables had already been filled.
Suddenly, a voice said, "Brother is here!" But I saw Miaoqi sitting on a small table, which seemed to be not in the store at all, but just under the eaves, so that it could still cover a lot of sun. And beside Miaoqi, there is an old man, wearing a Taoist robe, very shabby. In the palm of his thin hand, he held a bamboo pole and picked up the four words "Immortal Guiding the Way". The ram also glanced at Lin Zhongyu, walked over, and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, they heard the old Taoist priest opposite them say, "There are people here!" said the old man with the lower part of the bamboo pole and ordered the bench where the jade in the forest was sitting. Lin Zhongyu glanced left and right, and said, "Dao Chief, I haven't seen anyone coming!" Only then did he see that the Taoist priest's face was wrinkled and mottled, as deep as a knife, and his eyelids were squeezed together and sunken deeply, as if his eyeballs had been gouged out.
Lao Dao coughed and said: "Those who should come will always come! You can't hide if you want to! You shouldn't be here!" Lin Zhongyu heard what the old man said, as if he had a secret secret, he got up from his seat, bowed deeply to the old man, and then sat down next to the ram Yefeng.
The old man was silent for a long time, and stretched out a finger tremblingly and pointed upward. The crowd didn't know what it meant.
But at this moment, a voice in the store said: "Wang Siweng, your old man is a clever man, and I believe it on weekdays." But today, guessing such dumb riddles, my fingers go to the sky. Hehe, it looks like you miscalculated today. ”
The people sitting in the store responded with a lot of talk.
Wang Siweng didn't pay attention to it, put his hand into his arms, dropped a few pieces of moonsilver on the table, propped up the bamboo pole, and walked away tremblingly. He couldn't see anything, and he walked very slowly, when suddenly he tripped over a small rock under his feet and almost fell. Lin Zhongyu rushed forward with an arrow step, and Wang Siweng held him up.
That Wang Siweng was helped up by Lin Zhongyu, and he didn't say thank you, and continued to use the staff in his hand to point to the ground and grope slowly away. Lin Zhongyu sighed in his heart, thinking that he had met a master, but he didn't have the opportunity to bow down and ask for advice. Fu looked up again at the blue sky and white clouds, high and boundless, what does it mean.
Sitting at the table, I raised the teacup, but I heard an old voice come from "... In the South China Sea, there are mountains in the sky...... There is a heavenly immortal house in Yaotai, I don't know anything, I shouldn't ...... if I have nothing to do" Lin Zhongyu heard this voice from the direction where Wang Siweng was walking, and turned his head to look and saw a trace of a figure in the distance.
But when he saw the ram on the other side, he also looked ahead in a daze, and whispered: "Crisp hand tea, upside down, floating like a dream of Nanke." Laughter hooked the bar, the palace merchants were like orders, the jade pipes were one after another, and several immortals taught singing and dancing...... Are there really immortals?"
When Lin Zhongyu heard this song, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "Senior Brother Ram, Senior Brother has something that I don't know to ask, shouldn't I ask?"
The ram also turned his head, but saw Lin Zhongyu's strange face, and he also hesitated in his heart: "Senior Brother Lin has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it!"
"The song that Senior Brother just chanted is quite mysterious. I don't know when did this song be done, Senior Brother?" Lin Zhongyu didn't know how to ask the low question.
The ram also smiled, held the teacup in his hand, and turned around a few times: "Senior Brother Lin won't hide it from you, but I don't have such talent." This song was sung by my second senior brother drunkenly, and I occasionally heard it. Indeed, the senior brother's literary and artistic martial arts are all far better than my ......," said the ram, and his voice became smaller, and finally raised his head and drank the tea.
When Lin Zhongyu heard the ram also say "Second Senior Brother", the man with the sword eyebrows obliquely inserted and outstanding appeared in front of him.
The ram also looked at Lin Zhongyu's body trembling slightly, his eyes changed slightly, and he picked up the teacup again. Miaoqi also poured a mouthful of it into the baby, but it was anxious, and the choked baby had a dry cough.
Suddenly, a colorful and purple fireworks bloomed high in the sky, and then there was a burst of "bang bang" one after another! . Maybe it's a holiday somewhere not far away, and people are cheering each other.
Everyone in the tea shop opened the pot at once, and everyone was happy.
At this moment, a small guy, quite well-behaved, put a pot of grass tea next to the ram Yefeng, looked up at the fireworks in the sky, but shook his head again and again.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was putting the tea, the ram also asked in a low voice: "Little second brother, this fireworks is a sign of joy in the world, and something good must happen at that time." But I don't know what it is?"
When the little guy heard the ram also ask, the corners of his mouth curved, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer." After drinking tea, I just went to see the reason. It's inconvenient for the little one to tell you?" the ram also looked at the little guy and was infinitely happy, but he didn't say why. I felt a little weird, so I spread my hand into my sleeve and paid for tea. The people walked together in the direction of the fireworks.
Just after a few people walked out of the tea house, an old man wearing a purple and cyan Taoist robe disappeared in a flash. In the corner of the teahouse, a man with a hat raised his head. I saw his lips move, as if he was saying something, and just after he finished speaking, a black shadow on the ground sprang out of the bed and went straight into the distance.
After walking for two or three hours, I finally saw a high city, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, with countless fireworks blooming above, which was extremely beautiful. It's just that for some reason, the infinite height above the city tower, the colorful glow is rolling and steaming.
The three of them shook their spirits and quickened their pace. But I saw that the road in front of me was already extremely open, and from time to time there were two or three pedestrians with happy faces and hurried away.
Lin Zhongyu saw these people running forward happily. But I don't know what happy things have happened.
Ram Yefeng and Lin Zhongyu glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in each other's eyes. It's just that Miaoqi is humming an unknown tune, sitting on the baby's head, quite proud. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the city tower, he saw a layer of mist in the air, and the sun wheel on the horizon shone slightly obliquely, and the sunset was full of sky.
The ancient city in front is hundreds of feet high, and the city walls are mottled and old, telling how many winds and frosts it has experienced. But he saw the gates of the city wide open. A large road leads straight into the city. People from all walks of life, such as hundreds of rivers entering the sea, all join the flow of people in front of them.
Lin Zhongyu only felt that the people around him were all happy, and they couldn't stop talking loudly, he tried to ask himself, but people ignored him. I can't help but feel bored.
Then
A trumpet of "!!" came from the front, but when they saw these thousands of people raising their arms high, they laughed loudly, and then they fell to their knees and kowtowed deeply. Lin Zhongyu didn't know why, but when he saw that the ram around him was also windy, Miaoqi didn't know when he was the same as others, kneeling on the ground, even the baby was average.
He was stunned, at a loss.
I only heard the laughter stop abruptly, and all the people who fell on their knees raised their heads in unison and looked in the direction of Lin Zhongyu.
