The country in the center of Zhennan is called Lishan, also known as Shannan. It was called "Tougui" in ancient times.
The terrain of Lishan Kingdom can be described in two sentences, that is, "a word Sichuan, a handful of beans."
The word "Sichuan" refers to the three mountain ranges connected to the Tai'er Mountains from south to north in its northwest, called "Sanlong Ridge".
A handful of beans are the rest of the scattered peaks, of different sizes, scattered everywhere.
Wanshan, as its name suggests, is shaped like a deep bowl and is located exactly in the middle of these many "beans". It is also the central place of Lishan Kingdom.
In the Wanshan Valley surrounded by mountains, there is a deep pool called "Yifang". It is unknown who planted pear trees along the bank. Every time when spring and summer transition, thousands of trees bloom, the valley is filled with snow, and even the entire lake is filled with snow. The eight southern countries are all filled with countless scenic spots and beautiful scenery.
Naturally, the Xian family had already arrived at this naturally blessed land. Earlier, there was only a grand temple on the bank of the deep pool, dedicated to the leader of the Xian family. Later, several mineral deposits were discovered one after another. Over the past few hundred years, it has developed into a prosperous place. market town.
It's called "Fenli Town".
The name of a town is "Separation". Firstly, it has a homophonic meaning, and secondly, there are no aborigines in this town. People coming and going are just passers-by. Naturally, they are all separated when they go back and forth.
There is an archway at the entrance of Lihe Street, the busiest street in Fanli Town, with a gold plaque inscribed with the words "No. 1 in the world". It is unclear what the title of No. 1 in the world is, because the person who inscribed the inscription was Zhao Jiran, the British leader of Lishan Dynasty. He never said , it can only become suspense.
A place where tourists gather and part ways, the most popular ones along the street are naturally inns and wine shops. Behind the "Tianyi" archway is the largest inn in the town - Jubaxian.
There are eight countries in Zhennan, and there are eight levels in the gathering of eight immortals.
Some said it was a building, some said it was a tower, and some said it was nothing but an ugly monster.
The reason for the mixed reviews is simple. The owner of this building, He Dusu, is a great artist of the "Butterfly School". When building the building, He Dusu hired many master craftsmen from all over Zhennan with huge sums of money, and finally realized his masterpiece. Unprecedented concepts and ideas - the eight-story Eight Immortals Building. Each floor has a different style design. It is a building that is "put together" like building blocks after absorbing the architectural concepts and styles of the eight southern countries.
He Dusu said that at a glance, it would be like seeing half of Taier Continent.
The so-called half wall refers to the eight countries of Changying, Qibei, Lishan, Xuyu, Luozhu, Xianchuan, Liuhe and Xiangman.
The "Eight Immortals Tower" has such a unique style. Those who scolded it said it was extremely ugly, "even a doll can't make such a mud house", "like a loaded garbage dump suspended in mid-air", and "even completely tarnished the king's inscription" ”, and so on.
But it also has its many fans, who praise it as "the most beautiful gem in Zhennan's crown", "the most magnificent exquisite craftsmanship in the world", "the most ingenious and unparalleled pagoda in the world", and the list goes on and on.
The Eight Immortals Building has been built for more than thirty years, and has been controversial and criticized, just like the flow of people in the building, which has never been cut off.
He Dusu didn't care about this. What he wants is not even the beautiful numbers on the account books that have increased all boats. More often, he prefers moments like this. For example, right now, he is looking back at the Eight Immortals Tower alone under a pear tree on the other side of Yifang Pond. Be content, happy, and worry-free.
When the lights are bright, the Eight Immortals Tower doesn't look like a building at all. He Dusu feels that it is a kind of auspiciousness and his shining child.
"Really, he's becoming more and more like a monster." Diagonally across from the Eight Immortals Tower, not too far away, in Room A on the third floor of an inn, a young man with bright eyebrows was leaning against the window. , looking at this noisy and silent giant, said lazily.
In his hand, he was playing with an iron lump the size of a fingernail. It was an iron flower that he had polished by himself. It imitated the appearance in his memory. Currently, it was only a simple prototype.
"You! You are lazy! You fish!" A seven or eight-year-old girl with a cute haircut was chewing on a big pig's trotter and scolded with a smile.
Her eyes are long and curved, with a faint blue light in them. She always feels like a foreigner at a glance. Of course, she can also be said to have some demonic aura.
Seeing that the young man ignored her, the girl in green clothes snorted, took a deep breath, and then breathed out gently and little by little.
There was a table of good food and rice in front of her. When she blew it, the chickens and fish that were already dead started to move again, trembling slightly, as if they were trembling or dancing in some weird way. dance.
The girl in green took another gentle breath, and they died again.
Repeatedly, the room was filled with fragrance and the lights dimmed, making it look very strange.
Seeing the girl sweating profusely from exhaustion, the young man shook his head and said, "You deserve it if you practice qi every day until you vomit. You have spent the last 800 years in exchange for this pair of skins!"
"You know shit, doesn't it look good?"
"What's the use of looking pretty for a seven-year-old girl?"
"Bah, only when you look good can you be in a good mood, and when you are in a good mood can you practice well!" The girl in green stopped vomiting and continued to chew on the pig's trotters. She suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth while gnawing, and she didn't know what was shooting out of it. young people.
The young man dodged quickly and shouted, "Hey, another surprise attack!"
The object shot from the girl's mouth was very fast, and before she finished speaking, it was about to hit the Eight Immortals Tower in the distance outside the window.
But in an instant, out of the light or darkness from nowhere, a big black cat suddenly jumped out, meowed, and grabbed the object in its mouth. It turned out to be a broken bone.
The big cat looked around, as if looking for who had done this, but all he saw were crowds of people and dazzling lights. Finally, it meowed again and disappeared into the darkness.
"It is indeed becoming more and more like a monster." The girl in green gnawed away the big pig's trotters, replaced it with a fat chicken drumstick, and bit off most of it with her mouth open.
But he saw the young man he bullied sticking his head out of the window, meowing in the direction where the black cat disappeared.
"It's been almost two months, but I just haven't taken the bait." The young man withdrew, curled his lips, and took out the iron flower again to play with.
"This is a guard. He can only move within the talisman formation." The girl in green said, "I said you can go down and work."
The young man pretended not to hear and remained still.
"I think your butt is itchy again!" The girl in green furrowed her eyebrows, and a red halo appeared in her pale green eyes. She patted the table gently, just a little.
A table of food, finished or unfinished, all visible and tangible things were hanging up.
In one breath, they were arranged neatly, like a phalanx, like an army waiting ready, facing the direction of the young man, ready to launch at any time.
"Practice more." The female doll smiled slyly and prepared to raise her hand to perform the trick.
"Don't do this! I'm going right now! I'm going right now!" The young man yelled and ran away. Before he finished speaking, he had already fled downstairs.
"Lu Ran! My sister yelled at me again!"
"Lu Ran! Come here and fill up the wine for me."
"Lu Ran! Where is the boss lady? Go and invite her to have a drink with the uncle!"
As soon as Lu Ran entered the lively living room, the surroundings were filled with cheerful laughter.
"Masters, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry. Please be patient with me, Shopkeeper Lu San." Lu Ran smiled and put away the iron flower, took out a snow-white square scarf from his waist, and was ready to get busy.
"Lu Ran! Let's highlight tonight's recruitment! Don't neglect all distinguished guests!" The girl in the A-shaped guest room on the third floor shouted again.
"I know." Lu Ran replied lazily, and then took a wary glance at the door.
come yet? The distinguished guests Qingwu mentioned?
Oh, no, I have to call her Lu Qing now.
Lu Ran, the third shopkeeper of "He Lai Inn", shook his handkerchief and started working hard every night for three months.
