Chapter 35: The Treasure I
On this day, Shen Cangyun, the city lord of Fuguang City, was sitting in the city lord's mansion to meet guests, but it was a scholar who came.
"Sir, I don't know why I came from afar?" Shen Cangyun asked with a smile on his face. The inner caution is at a glance.
"City Lord Shen, there is naturally a great opportunity to come here. The middle-aged man wearing a scholar's scarf tasted tea and said slowly.
"Oh?" Shen Cangyun asked with interest: "With Mr.'s great talent, the means are thorough, Cangyun can't imagine, what else can be difficult to get Mr.? However, since Mr. is here, if there is a need for Cangyun, even if he says bluntly, Cangyun will do his best to cooperate."
"Otherwise, this matter is dangerous, and it takes more people to explore together. The middle-aged man said slowly.
"But my little floating light city, where do I have so many people? You also know that although this floating light city is a little prosperous, but the people who come and go are the children of the family and the wealthy family, I am not afraid of your jokes when I say it, even my little city lord, many people may not take it to heart" Shen Cangyun said helplessly.
"City Lord Shen is modest, since he is here, he will naturally be a little sure. The middle-aged scholar said confidently.
"Yes, yes, yes, with Mr.'s ability, there is nothing in the world that cannot be done. Cangyun still said the same thing, if there is a send, Mr. will command. Shen Cangyun said this very sincerely, and his stature was lower than that of a beggar.
"City Lord Shen rest assured, since I asked you for help, I naturally can't benefit from you. Wait quietly, and in a few days there will be good news. The middle-aged scholar smiled mysteriously. After speaking, the person was like a light smoke, flew out of the door, and drifted away.
Shen Cangyun wiped his forehead, his face trembling.
Speaking of this middle-aged scholar, it is from a mysterious power, Tianji Pavilion. Many people don't know the strength of Tianji Pavilion, but Shen Cangyun still met by fate, and he had met from afar when the Huiyao Dynasty held a gathering of city lords. This man was not very old, and he was already in charge of the sacrificial activities of all the cities in the southern part of the entire dynasty.
Sacrifice is a mysterious practice. The Huiyao Dynasty obtained the luck of heaven and earth through the sacrifice to the heavens, and the dynasty became more and more prosperous. The requirements of the Huiyao Dynasty for the lords of various cities were to make regular sacrifices and obtain merits. The sacrificial items are complicated, and every time there are disciples from the Tianji Pavilion who come to guide.
"I didn't expect this gentleman to be so talkative. Shen Cangyun looked at the direction where the middle-aged scholar had gone, thinking about how greedy the apprentices who came before were, and couldn't help but feel that the difference between people was too big.
On another day, Mu Feng, the guard at the south gate of Fuguang City, came to report:
"City Lord, at noon, dozens of people came to Chenjiazhuang in the south of the Yangtze River, a white-haired old man led the team, and Chen Luoyun followed on horseback, and it seemed that his status was quite high. The little one thought that it was necessary to report this matter to the city lord to know. Mu Feng said respectfully at the door.
"I know it!"
Shen Cangyun waved his hand and sent this subordinate away. But I began to think about it in my heart: Yesterday, the masters of Tianji Pavilion came to visit him, claiming that he would know soon. Sure enough, so many people from the rivers and lakes are here today. The people of Tianji Pavilion are clever, and they have no last resort. It's amazing. I'm afraid that this matter of inviting people will have to fall on the head of Chen Jiazhuang, no matter what, and go and see.
"Come on, go to Chenjiazhuang for the city lord to hand over the post, and say that the city lord intends to entertain the heroes of Chenjiazhuang, and the time is tonight, the place, well, on the fifth floor of Xingtai Building. It can be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for them. Shen Cangyun commanded immediately.
After saying this, someone outside the door went to run errands to deliver the letter.
Chen Xuanzhong had already rushed back in advance to pack up and make proper arrangements, and Chen Xinghong led a group of Chenjiazhuang people to the village courtyard here and settled down one by one. Just then, a little guy knocked on the door and handed over the prayer post.
Chen Xuanzhong was a little inexplicable when he held the post.
In the main hall of the village, several elders were drinking tea and chatting.
Chen Xuanzhong brought in the prayer post and said: "Great Elder, uncle, as soon as we settled down, the City Lord's Mansion sent the worship post, saying that we were invited to a banquet on the fifth floor of Xingtai Building tonight, and we were waiting for the wind and dust." I don't know what this means?"
Chen Xinghong took a look at the post and handed it to Chen Luoyun. After reading it, Chen Luoyun passed it to a few people present.
After passing the pass, Chen Xinghong looked at Chen Luoyun and said, "Second brother, you have always taken care of this side of Fuguang City. What do you think about this?"
Chen Luoyun was also puzzled. It is said that the city lord Shen Cangyun has a mediocre relationship with him, and his filial piety on weekdays has also been handed over. Such a fanfare banquet was rare in the past. He thought about it for a while, but he really didn't have a clue, so he said: "Big brother, this city lord Shen Cangyun is also a character, he is the younger brother of Shen Canghai, the lord of Shenjiabao in the southwest. It's quite bold. It's just that in the past, the relationship with our Chen Jiazhuang was average, and after a while, I really didn't know what he meant. ”
"In this case, then reply that I will go to the banquet on time. Chen Xinghong said decisively.
"Yes, Xuanzhong will do it. Chen Xuanzhong, who was waiting outside the door, slowly retreated.
Chen Xinghong continued: "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided. Since this Shen City Lord is quite bold, we didn't have a bad relationship with him, and people were kind enough to feast, so let's go to the banquet with peace of mind and see what the city lord has in mind. ”
After a pause, Chen Xinghong said again: "Originally, the old man also planned to rest for two days and go to visit this Shen City Lord. After all, holding a martial arts conference in the realm of Floating Light City, we all have to discuss with him. With the support of the officials, the trip will go much smoother. ”
Chen Luoyun said: "The eldest brother is thoughtful, so he will do what the eldest brother says." ”
Wang Zhenbei said: "I'll just wait for a few elders to go, and the deacons will rest on the spot." Those young sons are young after all, and it would not be good if they lost their courtesy. ”
Chen Luoyun said: "My Chen family Zhuang has a strict family education, and the young son in the clan will definitely not be polite, I suggest that a few of us old guys go and the deacon rests, and the young son can still be brought over to see the world." Originally, it was to bring them here to experience and see the world. Getting to know the leaders of this city lord's mansion will also be beneficial to them in the future. What does the Great Elder think?"
Chen Xinghong thought for a moment, nodded and agreed: "What you said makes sense, I think it depends on the second child's meaning." ”
As night fell, the city was still full of traffic. The highest building in the city, Xingtai Building, is thriving and full of diners.
The owner of Xingtai Building is a gourmet, and it is rumored that he has eaten all over the world. From the Yaohe River in the north to the Huijiang River in the south, those who fly in the sky, those who walk on the ground, and those who swim in the sea and the river, eat nothing but food, and the food is excellent. Later, after eating well, I ran to this small floating light city and opened this Xingtai Building.
Not for anything else, just because it is close to the central forbidden land, it produces some special magical beasts, spirit beasts, and some medicinal materials from the previous year. In fact, when it comes to eating, medicinal food is also delicious, and the game cooked with the medicine of the previous year is really delicious in the world.
People who come to Fuguang City must go to Xingtai Building, and they have not eaten in Xingtai Building, so they are embarrassed to say that they have come to Fuguang City when they go back.
After nightfall, Chen Luoyun's leader, Chen Xinghong and others, took Chen Anping and Chen Anzhi to Xingtai Building on time.
As soon as I arrived on the fifth floor, I heard a hearty voice:
"Welcome, welcome, it turns out that the predecessor of 'Southern Sword' Chen Xinghong has arrived, and the junior is waiting for him. The predecessors have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for decades, and the boys have grown up listening to your legends. Come on, come on, please come in and sit down" Shen Cangyun invited very politely.
"These must be a few sons of Chenjiazhuang, they are really dragons and phoenixes among people, and they will be a generation of heroes in the future. Shen Cangyun kept praising him.
"Where, where, City Lord Shen praised it falsely. Chen Xinghong hugged his fists and saluted one by one.
"Elder Chen, I am most familiar with you here, why don't you introduce me to you?" Everyone sat down, Shen Cangyun invited Chen Xinghong to sit in the first place, and he accompanied him in the next place.
"This is natural, our Great Elder Chen Xinghong naturally I don't need to introduce it, this is our Seventh Elder of Chenjiazhuang, Elder Wang Zhenbei Wang, Elder Wang is in the northwest all the year round, Shen City Lord may not know much, but when it comes to the 'Thirty-six Road Back to the Horse Gun', I think you will have some impressions. Elder Wang is the descendant of the 'Thirty-six Roads Back to the Horse Gun'. A few boys here, just Zhuang Nei has been trained with the past, and this time he also brought to see the world. An Ping, An Zhi, I haven't seen the Shen City Lord yet. Chen Luoyun introduced them one by one.
"Yes, Anping and Anzhi meet Lord Shen!" Chen Anping and Chen Anzhi stood up and respectfully bowed as disciples, and said in unison.
"Okay, good, it's really a hero out of a teenager. Sit, sit, sit. City Lord Shen was also in a very good mood, and commanded again and again.
There is a saying that "there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts", and several martial artists sit together, and there must be a few points of competition. Sitting down, City Lord Shen couldn't help but think about it, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured three cups of tea, the tea was yellow and turbid, and the fragrance was attractive. With one hand and one luck, he pressed lightly on the tabletop, one to hold and one to send, the table shook slightly, and three cups of tea flew straight to the three of them out of thin air.
Chen Xinghong smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand lightly, but a few fingers rotated like this, and the teacup flying out of thin air seemed to be automatically delivered to his hand. Chen Xinghong took the teacup, took a sip slowly, and sighed: "Good tea, good tea, strong tea, fragrant tea, good tea"
Chen Luoyun stretched out his two fingers, greeted the flying teacup, and gently clamped it. The force of the flight was very great, and when I saw the teacup shake, a piece of tea overflowed.
Wang Zhenbei's face sank, and with one-handed luck, he grabbed it, and the teacup hit the palm of his hand. Wang Zhenbei's palm retreated, and the tea splashed between his palms, more than two points. But he didn't care, picked up the teacup and drank it down.
"Good kung fu! Chenjiazhuang really lives up to its reputation!" Shen Cangyun applauded and smiled: "Since everyone is together, let's serve the food." ”
Xiao Er at the door nodded yes.
The first dish on the door, a huge porcelain plate held a "chicken", and Xiao Er sang: "Braised Xiaoyao Crane!"
Come and don't be rude, when Xiao Er approached, Chen Luoyun suddenly reached out and took a belt, and a few feet away, a soft and true qi held the porcelain plate. Chen Luoyun grabbed it with five fingers, and the entire porcelain plate flew quickly in front of the Shen City Lord. While exercising, Chen Luoyun also said calmly: "This first dish is the signboard of Xingtai Building, and it should be honored to the city lord." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Chen Zhuang is a guest from afar, and Chen Zhuang is invited to enjoy it. Lord Shen borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, his sleeves were full of true energy, and his hands were pushed to Chen Xinghong under the table.
The corner of Chen Xinghong's eyes flashed, he reached out to pick up the chopsticks, quickly made a move, clamped the head of the "Xiaoyao Crane", twisted and clamped, but said unceremoniously: "Since the city lord is so gracious, the old man is not welcome, the old man is the oldest, and the old man will accept the head of this 'Xiaoyao Crane'." Well, it tastes good!"
