Only by practicing and experiencing the majesty of famous mountains, rivers, lakes and rivers with your own eyes can you appreciate the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. The same is true for cities.
Having lamented the decline of Qianzhong City, shocked the prosperity of Yaoguang City, and even the antique pavilions and pavilions in the Thirty-three Realms such as Mao'er City, I thought I had some experience.
However, when he first arrived at Baizhen City, he was still a little surprised. It wasn't how magnificent the place was, but how many shops there were.
The alleys are okay, but the main roads in the city are almost half as wide as an ordinary city, and the rest of the city is densely packed with various shops.
There are those who sell food, those who sell spiritual materials, those who sell expenses, and those who sell precious jade.
There is even an inn every hundred steps, with shops for monks and mortals intertwined. God knows how the Long family and the Chang family manage so many facades so tightly and orderly.
"Why is there no Xuanji Pavilion?"
Qingyun walked and looked around for a long time, but he couldn't find the branch of Xuanji Pavilion in this city.
Just thinking about it again, the young man couldn't help but laugh to himself, secretly thinking that the Chang family and the Long family were doing business. Looking at the postures on both sides of the street, he knew that the strong dragons might not be able to suppress the local snakes. If the Xuanji Pavilion could take root here, it would be great. Not bad, it would be really awesome if it could become bigger.
Originally, he wanted to find a Geyu to stay first, but Geyu might still be nesting in some nook and cranny, so Qingyun first inquired about the location of the Chang family.
Although the Chang family is also a practicing family, due to business needs, their clan is located in the city. Qingyun easily found the huge mansion comparable to a palace without even asking.
"The Chang family is very good at enjoying themselves. This house is probably ten times as big as Wang Qingquan's mansion, oh no, twenty!"
Unknowingly, Qingyun, with shining eyes, stood at the door of Chang's house. The local atmosphere on his body became stronger and stronger. However, before he could knock on the door to pay a visit, a hearty shout came from behind him.
"Young man, get out of the way!"
His face remained unchanged, Qingyun's clothes fluttered and he ducked to the side. Then, as if it had been agreed, the Chang family's door opened, and a long caravan of strange beasts quickly drove in. Inside the maroon door.
I don’t know what kind of true spirit the ancestors of these strange beasts are. They have heads like rhinos and have a single horn, but their bodies are several times larger than rhinos. Their bodies are also covered with thick natural scales. At first glance, they are good at selling goods.
There was a rein on its horn, which was easier to use than the horse's bit and could even be controlled by a mortal. The man who had previously told Qingyun to get out of the way sat on the beast's thick neck.
"The Chang family doesn't know how to let caravans enter through the side entrance. Even if the main entrance is big enough, if you enter it in such a grand way, won't you be afraid of being envied by others?"
The young man on the side was full of curses.
The alien beasts did not move very fast, but due to their large size and the length of the team, they also raised a lot of dust while traveling.
Qingyun didn't want to open the protective spirit shield in front of the door to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, so he stepped back to the side until the team reached the end. A girl with a veil on her face and a somewhat familiar figure followed the team. , entered the Chang Mansion briskly.
When the guards of the Chang family saw this person, they all bent over and did not dare to look directly at him. They all seemed to be in awe from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hey, why does this woman's figure look so familiar?"
Looking at the steps that were jumping as lightly as a young bird, and the dark green dress, a figure that had been silent for many years slowly appeared in front of Qingyun's eyes.
It wasn't until the girl quietly lifted her veil after leaving the guard, then took out a piece of dried fruit or candied fruit from a seven-color sachet around her waist and threw it into the little cherry mouth. At this time, Qingyun's eyes were already red, and his heart was shocked!
"Nanzhi! Sister Nanzhi!"
There is a saying:
The green plum blossoms have not yet bloomed but the red cherry blossoms have already bloomed, and the spring sky in the south branches has not yet cleared.
The pink butterfly can't understand the plantain's resentment, and the lilacs in the courtyard last till dawn
He didn't know why Yan Nazhi suddenly appeared in Baizhen City, but as if he had a tacit understanding, Qingyun bit his lip tightly and tried not to acknowledge her aloud, but Yan Nazhi suddenly stopped in his tracks. , let out a puzzled sigh.
But when she tilted her head and looked outside the door, Qingyun had already disappeared.
"Hey, is it an illusion?"
Pouring her lips, Xiao Nizi saw that the guard still lowered his head, so she threw a hawthorn fruit into her mouth with a smile again. Like a real little sparrow, swinging two long ponytails, she happily entered the Chang Mansion. Courtyard.
After Yan Nanzhi's back completely disappeared into the courtyard, Qingyun breathed a long sigh of relief like a child who had done something wrong, and appeared from behind a tree outside the door in fear.
"Wasn't Nanzhi sent to Qingxu Tian for protection? Why does he appear in Baizhen City?"
Quickly withdrawing his thoughts from the surprise, Qingyun's originally ferocious expression due to excitement began to relax, and then he frowned.
"Is she coming back to pay homage to Teacher Liangshan? No, if so, not to mention living in the village, she should at least settle down in Qianzhong City. How come she came all the way to Baizhen City?"
Looking up at this huge house, Qingyun felt more and more that the Chang family seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
Because of Yan Nanzhi's sudden appearance, Qingyun's ears once again heard Yan Liangshan's trembling last words before his death, but he was not in a hurry to recognize him.
Because of just a glimpse, Qingyun was able to conclude that this little girl's current cultivation level must be at least above the eighth level of Yuan Hua Realm!
What is this concept?
Nine levels of Yuan Hua Realm, one level is one Jiazi!
People with mediocre qualifications may stay at Yuanhua throughout their lives. For example, Bai Zhizheng spent nearly two hundred years cultivating to reach the third level of Yuanhua Realm. Yao Meng, seeking the talent of Tianzong, could only reach the fifth level of Yuanhua Realm at the age of twenty.
Even his young master Qingyun, who was lucky enough to possess the essence and blood of Qilin and cultivate the immortal spirit, spent more than ten years cultivating to Yuanhua.
But Yan Nazhi is a little younger than him, and has never been to the Thirty-three Realms to receive the nourishment of ancient spiritual energy. He has cultivated to the eighth level of the Yuanhua Realm based on his own talent. Is this a scam?
"It's bottomless, what a monster!"
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shudder.
"Dan Lin climbed to the ninth level of Yuanhua before he turned 100. He is known as a prodigy who has not been born in a thousand years. This record is likely to be broken by Nazhi soon."
Therefore, thinking about this, Qingyun became more and more afraid to act easily.
Yan Nazhi's talent is enough to rank among the top geniuses in Qingxu Tian, but he will not be harmed by others. Such outstanding people are often accompanied by protectors from the wind-controlling realm and even the spirit-returning realm.
If he acted rashly, he might have to report to Huangquan in a daze before even saying a word to Xiao Yanzi.
"Looking at the attitude of the people in the Chang family, it is very likely that they know the identity of Nanzhi Qingxutian's disciples, but the Chang family has been developing peacefully for thousands of years despite having a mine of spiritual jade. This is really intriguing! But the Long family And why can it grow so easily? Is Zhijing Dongtian’s hand so long? Can it reach as far as Liangzhou?”
After thinking about it for a while, Qingyun finally decided to take this opportunity to see if he could get some information about Yan Nanzhi from Chang Linbai. He hid behind the big tree again and waited for the movement of cars and horses in Chang's mansion to be completely stopped. interest.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the noisy voices in the Chang Mansion were completely silent. At this time, Qingyun first took out a bamboo hat from the treasure bag and put it on, and then slowly buttoned the beast in the Chang Mansion. kiss.
The maroon door creaked open, welcoming a young man from the Spiritual Realm.
"May I ask what this senior does for you?"
Although Qingyun's appearance was too young, he had reached the threshold of the Yuan Hua realm, and his rich aura made the young man who attracted him dare not neglect, and he saluted and asked.
"Little brother, no need to be polite."
"Don't dare."
"I would also like to ask my little brother to inform Taoist Taoist Chang Linbai of your residence on my behalf, saying that my old friend has recovered from his injury and has come to collect the jade. It's time for you."
As he spoke, Qingyun stuffed a few low-grade spiritual stones into the young man's sleeves without leaving any trace.
As the assistant of the Chang family, the other party is naturally very knowledgeable about the ways of the world. Qingyun is not only modest and polite, but also authentic enough. Although he has not reported his family status, the Chang family is the local snake here. Who dares to act recklessly in front of the Chang family?
Therefore, the young man was naturally willing to be a favor and agreed with a smile on his face.
As expected, this time the young master only waited for less than half a quarter of an hour when he saw Chang Linbai, who was short in stature and had the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat, approaching him with a smile.
As when they first met, Chang Linbai was still wearing a gray-brown robe, which made his already short figure appear even shorter.
Fortunately, he was dressed normally today, with jade ornaments on his waist and cuffs, and he looked much more elegant, at least a little better than the first impression he left on Qingyun.
"Brother Chang, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
The young man smiled and clasped his fists, his attitude sincere.
"Brother Qingyun is indeed a young hero!"
Chang Linbai looked at the young master up and down for a while, then gave a thumbs up with a look of surprise and admiration.
As smart as a blue cloud, he knew that Chang Linbai was referring to the fact that he was so seriously injured that day and recovered as before in more than a month. However, this was the Chang family's territory and he didn't want to linger any longer, so he went straight to the point:
"One day is like three autumns after not seeing each other. Brother Chang, would you like to go to the city to have a few drinks with me?"
"I think so too!"
Chang Linbai knew what was going on, so he waved to the young man who was welcoming him, and strode ahead of Qingyun, as if he wanted to show his loyalty to the landlord.
"Hey, brother Chang, slow down and wait for me!"
The young master also didn't want to be more pretentious, so he readily agreed to Chang Linbai's wishes, let him be the host, and picked a good restaurant in the most prosperous area of Baizhen City.
"Here, go on!"
As soon as he sat down and before ordering, Chang Linbai threw an inconspicuous treasure bag to Qingyun.
Without looking, he caught the ball with his backhand and asked excitedly:
"Brother Chang, is this true?"
"You are overthinking. There is no spiritual jade that can be used by the soul to lodge in the Chang family, but the treasure bag contains a very fine jade called 'Qing Amber'."
