Xiao Qianqiu didn't go far. In the vast plum forest beside Jinghu Lake, he squatted down. In front of him was the yellow-eyed civet cat that had been accompanying him but disappeared just now: "How could it run away? It's not a good habit to be picky about food!" He smiled with crooked eyes, and the civet purred. Its ears stood up for a while, and then lay flat on the back of its head. After a while, the civet took two steps out, and it In this posture, the body was stretched into a long and thin strip. It looked less like a cat and more like some kind of reptile. One of its paws was raised in the air, and the other three paws stayed on the ground. The whole "cat" "Like a strange sculpture, it keeps this posture motionless.
"In that case, let's go and have a look." Xiao Qianqiu said, his tone was contrary to his face, and there was no smile in it.
Qingzhou City, with a population of four million, is one of the top five major cities in Baiyan Country. Its prosperity cannot be compared with that of remote Shuanghe County. It not only has a variety of products produced by various states in the country, but also gold, Silver, cinnabar, rare woods, medicinal herbs, and animal skins from the Dayi Mountains, corals, clams, pearls, tortoise shells, and seafood from the Boiled Sea, embroidery, silk, and mirrors from the Yunwu Kingdom, and weapons from the Chilong Kingdom Various imported goods such as armor, horse gear and famous stallions were brought here for trading by merchants from various countries. They sold the goods brought from their own countries and brought the Ganquan wine, lacquerware, tung oil and other items abundant in Qingzhou to their Next stop. Therefore, it is common for the natives of this city to see people of different shapes passing by on the street from time to time, whether it is the Danxia camel team with their camel bells ringing, or the dark-skinned Yi people wearing big earrings, or the people who are covered in iron and steel. The warriors of the Red Dragon Kingdom whose only eyes were exposed in the package were not expected to pay any attention to them!
In this case, a single young man walking on the street will hardly attract anyone's attention, let alone notice that his shadow is different from ordinary people. Although people with extremely strong eyesight will notice it after a period of careful observation. , it is indeed possible to find that his shadow is slightly different from ordinary people, as if there is something dragging behind him.
Behind him was the busiest avenue around the lake in Qingzhou City, where tourists and foreign businessmen from all over the world gathered. They took a boat tour of Feilong Lake, watched the wonderland of Qiyun Peak, and traded precious commodities— —Customers who can afford expensive imported goods mostly own mansions around Huanhu Avenue, or use the expensive restaurant seating along the avenue as a place to rest and discuss business. Even the natives of the city who do not have such financial resources still like to take their families to the lakeside to enjoy the scenery in their free time. They cannot afford the roasted whole lamb in the restaurant, but as long as they walk one or two streets behind the restaurant, they can There is a roasted meat stall with a pleasant price nearby, which is enough for them to pay for a full meal for the whole family after enjoying the beautiful scenery on the lake.
Therefore, the streets and alleys behind Huanhu Avenue are lined with various shops and bustling with people. Although they cannot compare with the magnificence on Huanhu Avenue, they have more of a hustle and bustle of the market. Several old diners were leisurely queuing up in front of the "Old Chen's Cake Shop", waiting for the latest batch of secret sesame seed cakes to be baked. A child next to him hurried to the opposite side with a pot to make a pot of ice-baked liquor for his parents.
The young man was also in the queue waiting for the sesame cakes to come out of the oven. He smiled and listened to the old diners talking about how the old Chen family finally gave birth to a grandson. The old Chen family cake shop was about to welcome the third generation of cake makers. No, he knew The old woman was still a babbling child, and he also knew that this bakery had been making cakes for three generations at that time - at that time, the bakery was not named Chen, because she had no brothers, so the bakery The shop has adopted the surname Chen, and is about to welcome the third generation of cake makers surnamed Chen. He remembered all that, but it was just something that happened sixty years ago. It was as short as a moment, and the locals with white beards and hair in front of him couldn't remember it at all.
This is how a true immortal is, neither old nor dead. A hundred or a thousand years have passed, and mortals and ordinary monks live and die in front of their eyes. Not to mention enemies, it is difficult for even relatives to remember their voices, faces, and smiles. For example, Xiao Yinyun knot She has been married three times and given birth to four children. Both her husband and her children have been dead for many years. The only ones who can be with her until the end are those immortal immortals. As Xiao Zaili once said, Xiao Xinglong’s obsession This is very stupid. As long as he achieves his goal of becoming a true immortal, who will remember the jade pendant a hundred years from now? He might not even remember it himself. Even if this truth is unbreakable, how can he become a true immortal? But Xiao Yinyun, who has become a true immortal, also has her own indestructible qualities. Isn’t a genius worth trading for the entire Xiao family? But there is no immortal family in the world, and he does not think that the Xiao family will be the exception. However, he is not the Xiao family, and he does not have the blood of the Xiao family, so he is indeed not as good as Xiao Yinyun on this point, although He made the same choice back then, but that was because...he himself couldn't bear it!
"Guest, how much do you want!" The bakery owner's loud voice rang out. He recovered and smiled, ordered a few copper coins, and bought a hot cake. At this moment, several girls wearing flowers on their heads held up a piece of hot cake. He walked towards the alley with a flower basket made of wicker: "Hey, I remember that the Flower Goddess's birthday has already passed, right?" He asked the bakery owner, and the boss replied while rolling out the dough: "They are here to fulfill their wishes. Don't tell me, there are so many girls who believe in this flower god, and the flower seller is really rich. It would be great if she designated my cakes as offerings..." Several customers around laughed: "Old Chen, you have made enough, let the flower seller make some too."
"Are there many girls who believe in the God of Flowers?"
"No."
"But she doesn't make money or give birth to children, so why do so many people believe her?"
"You don't understand. I heard that if you worship her, you can get the right man - so the girls who worship her are the most."
"Oh, in that case, I'm going to take a look." The young man said with a smile, and the fat bakery owner also laughed: "You don't look like a wishful husband - our girl from Qingzhou City But it’s very selective!”
"How do you know I'm not from Qingzhou City?"
"Because everyone in Qingzhou City knows about this - I heard that even the girls from the Zhenxianxiao family believe it!" When talking about Zhenxianxiao, the attitude of the bakery owner and the people around him became serious. , after all, this is not a remote Shuanghe, but Qingzhou City with Qiyun Peak above their heads. Every mortal habitually maintains respect for the Immortal Family. Of course, they will worship gods in order to seek wealth or children. Then It's just that the Immortal family doesn't care about such trivial matters of mortals. They don't question the rule of the Immortal family for their own beliefs. On the contrary, they regard Shinto as a legitimate supplement to the rule of the Immortal family. Most temples don't care about them. No matter how much you wish in your heart, you will show it in conspicuous places, such as dressing up the goddess who gives birth to a child as a fairy.
So, what kind of secrets are hidden behind the flower god who suddenly arises and takes in the escaped monsters?
This is exactly what Xiao Qianqiu needs to figure out.
"Sister, the ancestors haven't really given up on you yet." Xiao Rushi said again.
"Shut up! What do you know!" Xiao Ruge was about to explode with anger. Yes, she was really about to explode. Rushi actually went to plead with the immortals for her! What kind of brain does he have! At this time, using this kind of house fighting technique, if it is a girl, Xiao Ruge will definitely regard it as a lifelong rival. Really, when he has mastered the overall advantage, he pretends to be a good sister and pretends to be virtuous. Sister, it is indeed an effective step to please the elders, but Rushi is a boy! Did he think that by doing this, the ancestors would think that he could tolerate his sister generously and would definitely tolerate his concubines in the future and choose a suitable husband for him?
Bah bah! He is so confused! Even if he doesn't know the truth, he is extremely confused by doing this!
You must never tell him the secrets you saw three years ago! Xiao Ruge secretly made up her mind. Everyone thought that she had let down the kindness of her ancestors. Who knew that she was the one who knew the truth!
The truth that Grandpa cannot come out of seclusion! The secret of Grandpa Xinglong’s whereabouts is unknown! She knows it all!
Grandpa Xinglong’s diary explains everything!
