Walking in the market at the entrance of the temple, Mu Ziyun looked like a frosted eggplant, lowering his head dullly. He felt that eyes were focused on him from time to time. Not to mention feeling depressed, his heart was still a little hot.
Fang Tianmu was not much better, and felt very ashamed and annoyed. Huzi asked around where he could find flower cakes, but Bell had long since disappeared and he had no idea where he was going.
Sikou is actually a large commercial city. The streets inside are complicated. There are inns and pubs on almost every street, and all kinds of local snacks are lined up on the roadside. The never-ending sound of yo-ho is not the most annoying. Yes, it’s hateful that you can’t afford to buy all these delicacies in front of you.
The prices here are frighteningly high. The price of four skewers of roasted meat is equal to the total expenses of Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi since they landed on Guanglang Liuli Island. Hu Zi’s shriveled pocket only has a total of two taels of silver. Among the crowd After squeezing for a long time, I finally saw a stall selling flower cakes. When I asked the price, two kilograms of broken flower cakes cost twenty taels of silver.
How could Huzi afford the money? After negotiating for a long time, the price was only four taels cheaper. In the end, it was Fang Tianmu's golden beans that completed the task.
"The things here are too expensive. Don't even think about lunch. I can't afford it." Huzi carefully held the flower cake in his hand.
Fang Tianmu patted his package, Huzi waved his hand and said: "With such a flower method, your bag of golden beans won't last long. Where is the bell? Find her and come back. Let's go directly to Liangxi Courtyard and buy it there." food."
"I'm here"
I saw a small bow in Bell's hand, and a spirit rat on the ground, sniffing and leading the way. As soon as he got to a few people, he said angrily: "The things here are so expensive. I can't afford anything. It's really disappointing."
At this time, people walking by said with a smile: "It's okay if you can't afford it. You can grab things in the temple, so the price is the cheapest. The entrance of the temple is next to Liangxi Yuan, and it is within the protection range of Liangxi Yuan. Who knows?" They don’t dare to cause trouble, so these merchants raise the prices very high. Liang Xiyuan doesn’t care about the food sellers, and there are no food sellers. If you don’t have money to eat, you can only go to work and use your strength to rob.”
"Thank you, brother," Huzi replied, and then said to Fang Tianmu, "Brother Fang, why don't we buy some to cushion our stomach." Fang Tianmu took out another handful of golden beans, and the four of them picked the cheap ones to eat, but in the end Still half full.
You can't stay in this place at the entrance of the temple for a moment. If you stay for a long time, you may have to beg for food. They were pretty good. There was a wealthy man named Fang. The other Long people who came here had no choice but to walk to Liangxi Courtyard hungry. They probably wouldn't be able to eat until tomorrow.
Because there were too many people on the road, it took them an hour and a half to reach the gate of Liangxi Courtyard. This sect-like organization is surrounded by mountains, with a crystal clear river running through it. The gate is composed of two strange stone platforms seven feet high. , there is no door in the middle, no wall on the side, only endless trees, and a path paved with blue crystal stone slabs, reminding passers-by that this is a symbol of strength. (Spar slabs are quite valuable, just one piece is already rare, let alone a paved road)
A large number of people gathered inside and outside the door, and there was a special reception desk beside the door, which reminded Mu Ziyun and Hu Zi of the scene they saw when they first arrived at Qingshan Mountain.
After waiting in line for half an hour, it was their turn. Huzi said to one of the receptionists: "Hello."
"Mission accomplished?"
"Yes, yes." Huzi raised the flower cake and shook it, "Sister Zhang Na wants it."
"Go and look inside. I don't know Zhang Na. Give her the flower cake and she will give you a badge."
"Thanks"
Ling Ding came over again and put the iron sheet on the table. The man seemed to have seen this kind of iron sheet many times. He skillfully pulled it out and threw it into the wooden barrel aside. Then he took out a waist card and gave it to Ling Ding. Then he said: "With a waist card, you can participate in the competition the day after tomorrow. You can choose not to participate. I remind you that more than half of the people will die every time the list is announced. You can decide what to do."
"Oh" Lingdang nodded and came back. The waist tag he had spent a long time getting in exchange for was just a piece of broken iron with the word "courtyard" engraved on it. It wasn't as good-looking as the wooden tag.
Mu Ziyun walked up to Fang Tianmu, put the wooden sign into his hand, and said, "I did the task. I leave it to you." Fang Tianmu said nothing and handed the wooden sign to the man. The man was extremely busy and seemed very impatient. He grabbed the wooden sign, stared at it, froze, and made a puff sound. Then he turned around and shouted to the person over there: "Hey, the second ring, that one is here." Here comes the singer on the Jiuxian Bridge."
Swish, swish, all eyes focused on Fang Tianmu, 66 continued laughter came over, Fang Tianmu's face was expressionless, a murderous aura suddenly emerged, the man stared into Fang Tianmu's eyes, feeling He fell into an ice hole, and his heart seemed to be pinched up and down by two claws, squeezing in the middle, and it would explode if he was not careful. He took out a waist card tremblingly, not daring to raise his head again, and whispered: " sorry."
Fang Tianmu didn't move, but a tiny blade appeared out of thin air and cut open the waistband silently. He looked down at the man and said in an unusually cold tone: "Get another one for me."
"Yes" The man didn't dare to resist, so he quickly took out another piece, stood up and handed it over carefully. If Fang Tianmu didn't make a move, the man didn't dare to withdraw. After being frozen for dozens of breaths, Fang Tianmu used the knife. The handle knocked the waistband away, took it into his hand, turned around and left, but the man's back was soaked.
Mu Ziyun came over and said, "The two of us share a sign, and I brought the treasure."
"Oh, then, please follow me, come with me." The man moved his legs with great effort, bent down and invited a few people to walk to another, more deserted reception area.
"Teacher, these adults want to hand over treasures."
"How many pieces are there?" The master (equivalent to an elder, but with a different name from Huzhou) raised his head and said, "Just give it to me directly. If you can get the wooden sign, it means it has passed the inspection."
Huzi said: "One piece" and then sent the two broken lenses to the master. The master put them into the box without looking at them, not taking the priceless things seriously.
In this way, Mu Ziyun also got a waist card. The teacher reminded: "Only a few people can see the map. During the competition, Liangxi Hospital will select people to be admitted. If they don't have the ability, there will be no discussion. In the hospital If you don’t provide food, you have to go to the temple entrance to solve the problem yourself. If you don’t have money, you can go to the temple. The same is true for accommodation.”
"Yes, thank you Master." Several people walked into the door and stepped on the blue crystal stone. They could feel the warmth of the soles of their feet through the soles of their shoes. The energy in their bodies seemed to be getting more and more comfortable, and they felt like they were floating until the end. The feeling of ecstasy.
Whenever he met someone on the road, Huzi would always ask: "Hello, where is Sister Zhang Na?" But they all said they didn't know her. When you walked to the end of the spar slab, you could see the building of Liangxi Courtyard.
It is very different from the architectural style in Huzhou. There are no eaves or other architectural forms here. Sometimes the roof and the bottom are combined together and are made of a stone or huge wood. Few people know the style of Guanglang Liuli Island. What is the standard? But after seeing the dazzling crystals inlaid on various buildings under the sunlight, they all knew that they had arrived at a holy place.
Especially the tower-shaped buildings that penetrate into the clouds, their majestic aura is even more breathtaking. The strange thing is that from the outside, a few people did not see these, and some kind of shielding method must have been used.
At this time, he met another girl, about twenty years old. Huzi stepped forward and asked: "Hello, may I ask where sister Zhang Na is."
The girl looked at Huzi blankly, then turned back and shouted: "Zhang Na, someone is looking for you."
"Yes!" I saw a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old running over. When she saw the flower cake in Huzi's hand, she immediately snatched it over and dug through her clothes for a long time before taking out a waist card and pouting. She was cute, but she said angrily: "What took you so long!" and then left without looking back.
Huzi stood there blankly. He, a twenty-year-old man, called his sister here from the door. Unexpectedly, his sister was a thirteen-year-old girl. For the first time, he felt that something was wrong with him.
