Liushan City.
I saw a city in Yetou.
Stone door stacks, stone walls. The wall is more than ten feet high and surrounds it for several miles. Within the walls, there are many houses and streets. Such a place is called a city.
Yu Ye followed the cart through the city gate and arrived at a warehouse in the city. Then he unloaded the medicinal materials, loaded the goods, bought some salt, dry food and horse feed on the way, and passed through the city.
Looking for an inn to stay in the city?
nonexistent.
The three masters of the Qin family go out to make money, and of course they have to save money.
Yu Ye wanted to stay for two days to appreciate the local customs of the city. His knowledge of Qizhou was limited to Qihai Town at night. After setting off, I walked through the wilderness one after another, but I didn't feel the abundant spiritual energy and the difference of a foreign country. Now that he was in Liushan City, he finally discovered the prosperity of Qizhou, the wealth of the people, and the simplicity of the people. Even the houses on both sides of the street looked exquisite and had a unique ancient charm.
As a hitchhiker, he was unable to act like a guest, so he could only take a quick look at the street scene before following the carriage and leaving Liushan City.
It is reported that the leader of a country in the Qi State is the head of the country. He has jurisdiction over city lords and town lords, with orderly hierarchy and hierarchy. There are also laws, prisons, officers, and soldiers to guard the territory and carry out education, rewards and punishments. Responsibility, etc.
The Immortal Gate is located in Lingshan Mountain. The details are unknown and it is still a mysterious existence. I heard that there is an unwritten rule that immortals and mortals coexist without disturbing each other.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of the large number of immortal gates that there are all kinds of strange stories in the world, which are spread to towns and villages everywhere by traveling traders or cart drivers.
"...Do you remember the Liushan City from before?"
"Well, it's just a pity that I just glanced at it and didn't understand anything."
"Haha, there is so much to see in the little Liushan City. Why don't you listen to what I say? It's far more exciting than what you see!"
On the mountain road, two large vehicles were speeding.
Old Qin Tou's cart led the way, while Qin Zhuzhu's cart just followed behind. He had nothing to do, so he talked to Yu Ye to relieve his boredom.
"It is said that the city lord of Liushan City took a concubine last year. On the night of the wedding, the concubine disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood. The city lord was in his forties, strong and capable, so he led people to search everywhere. Guess what…”
Yu Ye listened silently.
Although Qin Zhuzhu was a rough man, he was well-informed and eloquent, and he could talk endlessly about strange things.
"There is a warehouse in the backyard of the city lord's mansion. In the warehouse, a demon fox was found..."
"Demon fox?"
"Never heard of it? As long as the ferocious beasts are psychic and know how to practice, they become monsters. It was the demon fox that confused the concubine's mind and ultimately killed her. The city lord was unwilling to give up, so he started to hunt and kill the demon fox. He actually escaped and summoned his accomplices to take revenge. At that time, the city was full of fox shadows, making every family uneasy. In anger, the city lord invited experts from the immortal sect to chase them to Yehu Mountain in the suburbs and kill all the demon foxes. …”
"How can the Immortal Sect interfere in this matter if it doesn't care about the common people?"
"Having said that, evil spirits causing mischief are not a common thing. For the sake of peace, some city lords pay a lot of money to immortals for protection..."
In the evening, the group stopped by the road.
Yu Ye is still busy, and getting along with the three old master Qin is becoming increasingly harmonious. After the three of them fell asleep, he kept watch over the bonfire alone, absorbing spiritual energy, comprehending the techniques, and saying a few words to Jiaoying.
People in a foreign country will inevitably feel lonely and wandering. And with Jiaoying's company, he felt a little less lonely. "Let's go to Yunchuanmen. If someone finds out your origin, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Several Qizhou masters in Daze may not remember my appearance, and Divination has not returned yet, so it doesn't matter."
"You killed many people in Beiqi Mountain, but never showed your face. You used the armor-piercing talisman many times to hide yourself. Is it just for today's sake?"
"I didn't think much of it at the time."
"Anyway, it's better to be careful."
"Now I have the Seven Kills Sword Qi, the Heavenly Dragon Shield, the Heavenly Forbidden Technique, and the Incarnation Technique, which are enough to protect myself."
"Qizhou is no better than Daze, and your opponents are not just a few casual cultivators, but real masters of the Immortal Sect. With only your third-level cultivation of Qi Refining, how can you protect yourself?"
"I came here just to inquire about the news. I just want to avoid the Yunchuan Immortal Sect..."
"When disaster comes, I'm afraid you can't avoid it. If an expert sees through the Jiao Dan in your body, what should you do?"
"this……"
"In my opinion, you must not give up your understanding of the Heavenly Dragon Escape Technique. In addition, I will teach you a set of secret techniques to conceal your cultivation. Jiao Dan already has the ability to hide the true and reveal the false, and with this little technique, I don’t think anyone in Qizhou can see through your true identity!”
"oh……"
Suddenly, there was a mantra in Yu Ye's sea of consciousness, called Hidden Dragon Technique. The legendary real dragon is good at changing. It can be covered by clouds and mist and can see its head but not its tail. This may be the meaning of the so-called hidden dragon technique.
"Also...I made the mistake of blaming that girl Qingqing...I helped you understand the formation, and I feel sorry for you..."
Jiao Ying's voice gradually became lower, and then there was no movement.
Since leaving Daze, she has been busy studying the techniques, and even if she occasionally speaks out, it is a break in her busy schedule. She doesn't care about being naughty, nor is she willful and unruly. Everything she did was just to help Yu Ye go further. And there are times when she is lonely and lost, and she also needs attention and comfort.
Yu Ye didn't think too much and just focused on thinking about "Hidden Dragon Technique"...
Staying in Xiaoxing like this all night, seven days passed.
At dusk that day, another city appeared ahead.
Ma Lin City.
It is said that this city is rich in a medicinal herb, hence its name.
Malang City is similar to Liushan City and is built on the mountain. But seeing the half-slanted city outline, the setting sun shining in the evening sky, and the tired birds returning to their nests, it is a unique scene.
"The Female CEO's Almighty Soldier"
Yu Ye followed the cart to the warehouse in the city and helped unload the goods. The goods for loading had not yet been collected, so the warehouse manager asked Lao Qintou to wait overnight.
Lao Qintou had no choice but to agree and did not go to the inn to rest. Instead, he found a warehouse in the yard of the warehouse, brought hay and spread it on the ground, and ordered the three juniors to spend the night there.
There is no other reason than to save money.
Yu Ye was quite happy.
He was born in poverty and never cared about food and accommodation. He just wanted to live in the city, where he didn't have to light bonfires or keep vigil, and could go shopping on the streets.
After Yu Ye settled the carriage and horses, he declined Old Qin Tou's offer of dry food, then walked out of the inn alone and walked down the street.
After walking a few steps, Qin Zhuzi and Qin Shuanzi followed him with smiles. They gnawed on dry food and explained their purpose of coming. Lao Qintou was afraid of encountering an accident in an unfamiliar place, so he asked his two nephews to follow him and take care of him. The brothers also wanted to go shopping and have fun, so they happily accepted the order.
Arriving on the street in a blink of an eye.
Although it was getting late, the streets were very lively with people coming and going.
Buying and selling in shops, haggling and calling for prices, and bartering gold and silver are no different from Daze. Even the noisiest places are both wine shops and inns. Wandering around in the wild, don't forget to pay attention to the clothes, accents, conversation and etiquette of people on the street, as well as the names and prices of various specialties. Only by being familiar with the local customs and customs of Qizhou can we integrate into it as quickly as possible. He didn't want anyone to know his true identity, especially since he came from distant Daze.
"Well, the osmanthus wine here is not bad!"
"Tsk, tsk, it smells so good!"
The three of them passed by a wine shop and were greeted by the aroma of wine.
The wine shop has two shops facing the street. There are several tables inside and outside the door. Five or six customers are eating and drinking, and there are waiters greeting passers-by. On the door of the shop, four lanterns are hung, with the words 'Osmanthus Ancient Wine' visible.
Qin Zhuzi and Qin Shuanzi stopped, each with a greedy look on his face and reluctant to part with the money, swallowing his saliva before leaving. The two brothers have already married, and each has a wife and children to support them. Although they also like to drink and eat meat, they do not forget to live frugally.
Yu Ye also stopped, stretched out his hand to indicate: "Shall I invite the two eldest brothers to drink?"
"Thank you brother for your kindness, no need!"
"I don't know anything in the wild. Wine and meat are expensive here. Let's go -"
The two brothers were kind-hearted and rejected Yu Ye's kindness with a smile.
But Yu Ye walked directly to the wine shop, sat down at the table in front of the door, and said loudly: "Man, a jar of osmanthus wine and five kilograms of boiled mutton!"
The waiter agreed and turned around to arrange the food and drinks.
Yu Ye waved again and said: "Two eldest brothers, please sit down -"
Qin Zhuzi hurriedly walked to his side and whispered: "Brother, don't dare to eat for free, follow me and leave quickly..."
He thought Yu Ye didn't understand the rules, so he was worried.
"Snapped--"
Yu Ye pretended to reach into his arms, took out a piece of silver and put it on the table. Although he could not afford the ship's money, he was not short of gold and silver.
"Oh...where did you get all this money?"
Qin Zhuzi sat down hesitantly, still in disbelief.
Qin Shuanzi also came over and said in surprise: "Yu Ye, do you really want to invite my brother to drink?"
Yu Ye smiled slightly and said: "There is an old saying in my village, a poor family is rich. Since you are traveling far away, how can you be short of money? Don't worry, two eldest brothers, just eat and drink!"
The waiter brought the food and wine, took the silver and said, "I don't need a lot of silver, I'll wait for the change on the counter..."
Yu Ye waved his hand and said: "You don't need to change the money. The rest can be bought with wine and meat and sent to the warehouse to an Uncle Qin!"
"Okay, you three, take it easy!"
The guy agreed and went about his business.
The Qin brothers stared at Yu Ye, but still reached out to grab the wine jar.
A foreign boy of seventeen or eighteen years old had only been in Qi for ten days, and his behavior and accent were already very similar to those of the locals. If you don't know the basics, it would be difficult to guess his true origin.
"Whoosh-"
While we were talking, there were three more bowls of wine on the table.
Qin Zhuzi and Qin Shuanzi couldn't wait to pick up the wine bowls, raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp. Then they looked at the bottom of the bowls, spitting out the wine and laughing, "Ha, do it first as a courtesy!"
Yu Ye couldn't help but smile.
Although the Qin brothers are frugal and kind-hearted, they are still generous and show their true nature when drinking.
Yu Ye was about to pick up the wine bowl.
At this moment, someone behind him said: "It's cold on a winter night, and wine warms the heart. If you meet a Taoist friend in a foreign country, why don't you invite me to drink with you..."
