The people who came together because of those ancient legends and proverbs, who were connected for various reasons, are now about to go to their "Utopia" - the seven small towns wandering between the two empires of the East and West. . But before that, they still need to go and explore the secret behind the sword "Dragon Cry".
Why did the rumors in the market spread that this sword was so magical, and Sima Tu pursued Bai Feng relentlessly for this reason, and repeatedly advised the young swordsman to put down this "violent weapon". Does he covet the Longming Sword? Or are you afraid of something?
All questions will probably be answered by the sword maker "Yuan Fengzi". Despite knowing this, Bai Feng still never gave up the extravagant hope of thinking out the results by himself.
Inside this speeding fortress, the young man still kept looking at the sword in his hand, trying to find traces in the shape of the sword to find the information he wanted. At the same time, he also asked Murong Yan beside him to read the books left by Qian Xi to see if he could find reliable information from the records of his predecessors. Unfortunately, as can be seen from his helpless expression, there was actually not much gained.
Due to time constraints, the carriage purchased this time was far less luxurious and comfortable than the previous one. In order to provide sufficient concealment, it eliminated the opportunity for wind noise to leak out from any angle inside the carriage. It simply used a large piece of gray cloth to cover the entire carriage, pretending to be transporting goods. Therefore, only the curtain door behind the driver could There is a slight gap.
The carriage was purchased in such a hurry, causing everyone sitting inside to be tortured by the stuffy air. Fortunately, most of the people in the car were women. They would put some makeup on their faces and carry a sachet on their body. Otherwise, the car would be filled with sweat and would be miserable. So, they had no choice but to lift the curtain upwards to slightly alleviate the discomfort.
In this summer, almost everyone is wet and sticky. People who are used to being in public and traveling around have long been accustomed to this situation, but for the ladies who live in seclusion all year round, this is nothing less than a kind of torture.
Zhao Xiaomei, who had been teasing E Feiying about her pampering earlier, was the first one to suggest finding a place to rest by the lake. At that time, they had just left Daijiazhuang for more than half a day. The younger sister suddenly left her seat and came to Zhao Kuo, who was driving, and said, "Brother, what kind of broken car is this? It's airtight. It's like being tortured if you stay in it." ! Find a place to stop and wash your face and cool down first?"
"This is a wilderness, where do you want to find water?"
E Feiying in the car also said in kind: "Also, it would be nice if I could take a shower..."
After Zhao Kuo heard this, he sighed: "Oh, you girls are really troublesome... There is a maple leaf forest ahead, and there is a red leaf town in the forest. Let's go to the town to have a rest later." After that, he went to Then he took a look at the situation inside the car. Except Ajuan, who was sleeping soundly, everyone was feeling restless due to the steaming heat. For this reason, Zhao Kuo laughed again and said: "Why, Miss Ajuan can sleep?"
"Sister Ajuan told me that once she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the boat, she would recall the last time she discovered that the partition wall had ears. She was so scared that she barely had a good rest!" the younger sister replied.
"This silly girl must be abducted by Su Qing and others last time, so she is still afraid of outsiders." Zhao Kuo turned around and whipped his riding crop angrily, and confessed in a low voice: "Why did this happen? You didn’t tell me anything about it…”
After hearing this, the little girl imitated Ajuan's tone and joked mischievously: "She's not your woman, why should I tell you?"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. Brother, I am following the orders of Ajuan's mother and grandma. As a brother or an elder, at least I want her to be unscathed before returning to Qianfengling."
"Oh, my mother and grandma are here to bully everyone again..." After the little girl finished speaking, Zhao Kuo ignored her and stopped asking for trouble. She hid next to Murong Yan and studied the scroll.
Seeing how interesting these brothers and sisters were, E Feiying couldn't help but think of her own sisters. Then, as if he just blurted out, he said with emotion: "I really envy you brothers and sisters for being so friendly..."
"What's the matter, Sister Ying?" Murong Yan heard the other party's sad tone and couldn't help but put down the scroll in her hand, letting the little girl next to her take it away, and then asked: "Did you remember something bad? …”
"My four sisters are all out-and-out eldest ladies. They dance, music, embroider, and recite poems all day long. But I, E Feiying, like to go out and make friends with heroes from all over the world... so I often attract criticism. "E Feiying lamented, led Murong Yan to sit next to her, and slowly expressed her thoughts: "They said that I have bad morals and that I am a woman who doesn't know how to behave. Later, I fully understood that I will never be like them. Maybe we can get together..."
After what happened last night, E Feiying's heart seemed to open up in an instant, and there was endless bitterness in her chest that was about to pour out. At this time, Murong Yan became her best friend.
On the other side, Zhao Xiaomei and Bai Feng were chatting and laughing with a sense of Confucianism. They were talking about the wonderful contents in the book and gradually lost track of time. Although they had reached Hongye Town in the end, they could not find out. What kind of sword is the Longming Sword?
Hongye Town is adjacent to a huge maple forest and itself is surrounded by countless maple trees. There are many hills, but they are not steep; they are flat and smooth, but they are ever-changing.
From the entrance of the town, you can see the general layout of the entire town at a glance: the stream branches off from a large lake under a very distant hill, flows between the trenches in the fields, and then is pushed into the town by a huge water wheel. Towns, so that everyone in the town can enjoy the moisture of the lake.
Compared to the desolation of Xiahe Town, this place is a completely different world.
After they found an inn, Bai Feng, Murong Yan and E Feiying put on their disguises. Then they became suspicious and separated from Zhao Kuo, Zhao Xiaomei and Ajuan for a while, and then they started to leave one after another. Enter the inn and settle down.
The inn boy was naturally very curious when he saw a guest coming from afar, masked and cross-dressed. However, he looked like a woman but not a man, carrying two swords, and was followed by two mysterious figures. He felt that the guest was not someone to be trifled with, so he was not interested. Will ask too many questions.
However, to be cautious, E Feiying stepped forward and caught a boy and asked, "Have any new wanted orders been issued recently?"
"Yes, of course there is! There are wanted warrants every day! And at night the government officials will come to search door to door. Mr. E, do you want to catch the criminal and get a reward?"
"You don't need to ask any more questions. Arrange three rooms for us so that we can be treated well!" E Feiying lowered her voice and pretended to be low-pitched.
After talking for a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.
