After leaving the shop, Jiang Youning decided to stay in Taoyuan Town for a while. As for the Taoyuan Festival mentioned by her boss, she was also very much looking forward to it.
The Taoyuan Festival is an annual event with a different date every year. It is held for seven consecutive days after the peach blossoms bloom. This period is also the busiest day in the entire Taoyuan Town.
The residents of the town can't help but sing and dance all night long to celebrate the festival, and many outsiders come to Taoyuan Town to participate in the festival.
It is said that Taoyuan Town used to be a village with less than a hundred people, and everyone in the village worshiped a peach tree for generations.
After being worshiped by the villagers for generations, this peach tree actually gave birth to Shenzhi and became the patron saint of the place.
The peach tree had protected the village for hundreds of years, watching it grow from a small village with less than a hundred people to the prosperous town it is today. Then one morning, a day that could never be more peaceful, the peach tree disappeared.
Some people say that the peach tree has become spiritual under their worship, and it will take a hundred years to repay the kindness. Others say that the peach tree has successfully cultivated its merits and achieved Taoism, and no longer wants to be trapped in this small world.
No matter what the real reason was, the peach tree just disappeared, and no one saw it again after that time.
Because the peach trees disappeared when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the people of Taoyuan Town designated this day as the Taoyuan Festival. Slowly, the Taoyuan Festival grew from one day to seven days.
Jiang Youning is still very interested in this Taoyuan Festival.
In the next few days, Jiang Youning really settled down in Taoyuan Town. During this period, she tried to contact her brother Jiang Zining to report that he was safe, but then she found that her communication talisman was lost at some point, so she could only give up temporarily. idea.
While Jiang Youning was practicing every day, she would occasionally go to the market in Taoyuan Town for a few laps.
As the Taoyuan Festival approaches, Taoyuan Town becomes more and more lively, especially the market.
Jiang Youning walked around and saw that there were people selling array plates, magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs.
Looking at the bustling crowd in the market, most of these people are cultivators who came here specially from other places.
Taoyuan Town is just a small town. Even if there is the legend of the Peach Tree Fairy, it should not attract so many cultivators. Or is there another reason for this?
As Jiang Youning walked, she thought about the weirdness in her mind.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have any thoughts, and various hawking sounds came from time to time in my ears.
The things sold in the market here are of the lowest level, just suitable for warriors who have just entered the realm of cultivation. However, Jiang Youning does not like these things, let alone waste money on these things.
Compared to before, Jiang Youning was more interested in the food here.
Because it is called Taoyuan Town, it is now the realm where peach blossoms are in full bloom. The people here have developed the practice of peach blossoms to the extreme. There are peach blossoms everywhere from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
At this time, Jiang Youning found a small alley in a remote location. There was a pastry shop located here. Although the location was remote, the taste was undeniable.
Jiang Youning also discovered this shop accidentally. After just one bite, she was conquered by the taste of the pastries here and bought all their inventory in one go.
The question is that this pastry made with fresh peach blossoms is limited and will only be made before and after the Peach Blossom Festival.
At this time, Jiang Youning paid and got the peach blossom cake that she had longed for, and immediately couldn't wait to eat a piece. The moment she bit into it, the faint peach blossom fragrance instantly filled the entire mouth, making people squint in happiness. eyes.
After taking the things, Jiang Youning returned to the market again and wandered aimlessly.
Suddenly, while passing by a stall, I was attracted by the things on the stall.
The stall owner was wearing a shabby black robe. Although his gray beard and hair were messy, they were very clean.
This man's whole body exudes a sense of vicissitudes of life, but if you look carefully, you will find that the skin hidden under the lush beard is tight and white, without a trace of wrinkles.
It is difficult for cultivators to judge their age. Some people may appear to be in their teens or 20s, but in fact they may be hundreds or thousands of years old.
However, what made Jiang Youning notice him was not his unique temperament, but what he sold.
The man didn't know whether he was really lazy or unintentional, so he just pulled a piece of black cloth and spread it on the ground.
There were nearly hundreds of mysterious beast eggs placed on the small black cloth, all of them were placed in a mess. Some of the mysterious beast eggs were even stained with mud and looked dirty.
You can't tell the type of mysterious beast eggs on the surface. They are all white eggshells. At most, the eggs are different in size.
The stalls on both sides were full of customers, but there was no one around this person. Jiang Youning guessed that it was probably because the people coming and going disliked him for being too sloppy.
Probably noticing Jiang Youning's gaze, the stall owner, who had closed his eyes to meditate, immediately sat upright, showed a flattering smile to him, and shouted: "Little girl, do you want to come over and take a look, my Xuan here." There are so many kinds of beasts.”
Hearing this, Jiang Youning came to the stall and saw nearly a hundred eggs on the stall. Almost every egg had dirty fingerprints on it, which must have been accidentally occupied when being held.
Jiang Youning glanced at the dirty hands of the stall owner, and then returned her eyes to the mysterious beast egg.
As Jiang Youning looked at the eggs one by one, the stall owner couldn't help but become nervous. He had no choice, he hadn't opened for a long time, and if these eggs couldn't be sold anymore, they would hatch.
Although the hatched cubs can still be sold, the newly born mysterious beast cubs are very fragile. If they are not careful, they will die, and you will lose a lot of money by then, not to mention the monster beast cubs after they are born. rations, which is also a large amount of money.
Jiang Youning's cheeks were bulging, and her big black and white eyes were full of seriousness, as if she was really choosing carefully.
In the end, Jiang Youning chose the biggest one at the stall, which was also the one that was most seriously muddy. Only a little bit of white eggshell was exposed. Those who didn't know it thought it was just an egg made of mud. Where is the ball.
The other eggshells in Xiangyu were just muddy finger prints, but the mud on this egg looked more like it had been put on purposely, as if it was deliberately covering up something.
Seeing Jiang Youning choose the biggest egg, a gleam flashed in the stall owner's eyes. He smiled and said, "The little girl is really discerning. She suddenly chose the best one. Let's see. Since you are my first guest today and you are so discerning, this mysterious beast egg is worth a thousand mysterious coins."
