At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year's Eve was not far away, and the whole Yunxia Dynasty became lively and busy.
When the carriage from Feiyun Kingdom slowly passes by, the village heads on the roadside can always hear the singing of the big fat pig and the laughter of the people.
And when passing through the town, in the streets and alleys, people pass each other one after another, the sounds of hawking, laughter, and bargaining come and go, and the smell of fireworks in the world is strong.
"Hey, guests, it's getting late. Should I stay in a hotel?"
"Prepare two ordinary rooms, preferably adjacent ones, and prepare some popular dishes, four dishes and one soup. By the way, help us tie the carriage."
"Okay, guest officer, please come in."
Qingya City is just a small city on the border, with a permanent population of only a few hundred thousand households. The second and third floors of the inn are housing. Only the lobby can be used for dining, but there are many people, and naughty children will come from time to time. One or two firecrackers were secretly thrown in, which scared the diners to the point of jumping on their backs.
The young man and his party finally found the only unused dining table in a poorly lit area by the wall. As soon as they sat down, there was already a commotion in their ears, and everyone had to raise their voices when speaking.
The drinking orders of Threesomes, Four Seasons of Fortune, Five Leaders, and Six-Six Dashuns were deafening and young people couldn’t understand it, but the eyes of two girls who aspired to become the top heroines in the world shone brightly and they were eager to try.
"Senior brother, can you let me order food next time you stay at the hotel? Your order is not at all cheesy."
"That's right, little madman, you have to remember that when martial arts heroes order food, they usually order two pounds of roasted knives, two pounds of beef, and the rest is fried peanuts. How can you order like this? If other martial arts comrades see it, they will be laughed at. of."
The young man nodded in agreement, a good man would not fight with a woman, especially two.
The mature middle-aged coachman smiled and said nothing. He had a lot of experience in being a follower. He smiled more and talked less to avoid not getting good food.
"Zhang Erniu, I'm not bragging. The leader of tonight's Fireworks Arena No. 1 must be Mei Dong from the Evergreen Sword Sect. The others are not enough to watch. You are right to follow me and place your bet."
"Bah, I bought Meidong from you in the first battle two days ago, but lost to the unknown Dong Abo. My wife lost all her money. You still want to fool me?"
"Both of you bought wrong. Today in the second arena, Shandao from the Yingzhou Gang and Musi from the Deyimen will fight. You are definitely right to buy Musi, and you won't lose any money."
The men at the next table, perhaps tired of shouting, started chatting so loudly that it was difficult for the young man and his party not to listen.
At this moment, another diner ran into the inn lobby and started shouting at everyone.
"The latest news, the latest news, there will be a big shot coming to the fireworks arena tonight. If you haven't placed your bet yet, don't worry. There will be a new handicap soon, go and buy it and you're sure to be right."
The hall instantly felt like a pot was exploding, and there was a lot of noise.
The new diners were called over by Zhang Erniu, who was at the table next to the boy, and invited to sit down and buy him a good drink, hoping to get inside information.
"Don't tell anyone. Not many people know about this. I'm just telling you."
"Say it quickly."
"Tonight, a proud man of heaven will appear, and after taking away the first title, he will be naturally recommended by the Lord of our Qingya City. He is also a special person who can serve as the commander of the martial arts academy once he enters the court. You are right to buy him. "
"After all that, who has such a powerful background?"
The diner lowered his voice and whispered: "Zhuuri Sect Tianjiao Yijue."
"Hiss... The Sun-Chasing Sect is a talented Taoist from a thousand-sect level force. The Sun-Zhui Sect is not in our Yunxia Dynasty. Will he come here to become a scholar?"
"Is there any wonder in this? Our Yunxia dynasty currently has no prince but only one princess. Yijue obviously came here to marry our princess. Moreover, the emperor is now old and approaching his end. Once the emperor comes, Beng, the next emperor is either a princess or a consort, and the Sun-Chasing Sect doesn’t have a dynasty to support it now, so this is a good thing.”
A few people were muttering quietly, when suddenly a young man came to the table.
The young man glanced at the dishes on the table and said with a smile: "If you buy Na Yijue to win tonight, you will probably lose everything. He can't win today."
Zhang Erniu curled his lips and waved his hand to drive him away: "What do you know about that young boy from there? Get out of here."
The young man smiled slightly, returned to the table next to him and sat down to continue eating. The two girls who were accompanying him remained silent.
Outside the old site of Changge Sect, if it had not been for Na Yijue and the Demonic Dao to start a war against Changge Sect, Murong Yu would not have fought with Yijue to the point of losing both sides and even being unable to move, and he would not have been used by Zhu Di to fight with Yun Tianfeng later. Both sides suffer losses.
This problem has long been forged.
Murong Yu lowered her head and bit a big chicken leg, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Yun Tianfeng quietly.
This is the first time since we met that Yun Tianfeng actively wants to cause trouble for others.
At night, the lights in Qingya City are brightly lit, and the streets are decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. A group of four people stroll through the streets, and everything they see feels fresh.
After walking a few steps, you will be greeted by a grocer on the roadside, who is enthusiastic and enthusiastic. This experience is something that neither Yun Tianfeng nor Murong Yu has ever experienced.
"The two girls are so beautiful that they are shy of the flowers after the moon is closed. Would you like to light a New Year lantern and make your wishes for the next year?"
"Betting on stones, betting on stones. In the early years, our stones not only produced eighteen famous jades, but also fragments of spiritual weapons and so on. Don't miss it when you pass by. You may not know the next complete piece." The magic weapon is waiting for you to come in and choose..."
"The rouge from Feiyun Kingdom, girls, would you like to come over and try it? Don't worry, there is no charge for trying it. If you like it, you can buy some and give them to your relatives and friends!"
"Hot buns, hot buns, freshly baked hot buns, stuffed with freshly killed New Year's pork, so fresh..."
The roadside vendors are all enthusiastic, and it is eye-opening to see the people passing by who look like their own master and wife, bowing their heads and saying nice things.
There are also people who have straight backs, eyes as calm as water, and do whatever comes their way. They don’t insist on making any amount of money, but they are proud and proud now. When they get home, they don’t know if they can continue to be tough in front of their mother-in-law with an empty money bag.
The four of them walked very slowly. Wang Quan and Yun Tianfeng followed them wherever they went without saying a word, just like shadows.
Murong Yu and Jiang Chuyao had to stop at every stall for a long time, chattering and wanting to buy everything.
"Growing up, Master always mentioned the world of mortals to me every now and then. Every time, his mood was different. Now that I am in the world of mortals, I still don't understand what Master wants to tell me!"
Yun Tianfeng was in a daze. He liked this kind of excitement, but he was not used to it and felt nervous.
In such an environment, he always inevitably thinks of many things Kunlunzi once said to him.
He didn't understand it when he was a child, but now that he has entered the world of mortals, he begins to understand it somewhat.
There must be some profound meaning to what Master said about the world of mortals, because every time Master said these two words no matter what state of mind he was in, his eyes would always be filled with a kind of expectation, as if he had some vision to hope that he would be like this. It will be realized when the disciple grows up.
"I can't understand it!"
As a close disciple of Kunlunzi, understanding has always been Yun Tianfeng's strongest point, but now he still can't figure it out.
Kunlunzi once said that the world of mortals is a dye vat, a river flowing through the desert, a path running through the other side, and the shoes under everyone's feet.
The merchants, common people, martial arts people, and the occasional monks in Qingya City all have different shoes. I heard that the shoes of the royal family members are even more special.
From these words, Yun Tianfeng could only understand an old saying, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Since the human world is like shoes, it is the confidence and support for people to move forward. Apart from this, he could not think of much more.
An hour later, a group of four people came to a window seat on the second floor of a restaurant. As soon as they sat down, gorgeous fireworks were set off outside the window, illuminating the entire city in a dazzling and colorful manner.
Opposite the specially chosen restaurant is a square. Decades ago, it was used as a place for soldiers to point generals on their expeditions. Recently, it became the Qingya City venue for the annual fireworks competition of the entire Yunxia Dynasty.
"The fireworks arena is similar to the martial arts test in some dynasty countries. Every city holds it at the same time. Most of the outstanding performers in the arena will be recorded. Some of the top performers will get the opportunity to enter the capital to participate in the imperial city competition."
"People who are relatively bright but not top-notch in each city will be invited by the city lord's palace. They may join the military or other armed organizations."
"Among the people who participate in the Imperial City Competition, the entire dynasty adds up, about ten people can join the Yunxia Dynasty's martial arts academy every year, and this martial arts academy is actually the imperial court's institution that controls the martial arts in the world. It has great power, and masters A lot."
"Generally speaking, the model of the Yunxia Dynasty is different from that of other nearby dynasties. Therefore, the Yunxia Dynasty did not have a first-class Qianzong-level Jianghu force taking root here in the past years, but now the Yunxia Dynasty's Princess Yunxia is older than The emperor is more courageous and wants to create an atmosphere where one country is one sect, so this year’s fireworks arena is more lively than before, with more masters.”
Murong Yu and Jiang Chuyao introduced each other to Yun Tianfeng. They visited a lot along the way and asked a lot.
"It seems that what those people in the inn lobby said must be true. Princess Yunxia of the Yunxia Dynasty may really have taken a fancy to the Sun Chasing Sect. That Yi Jue started to participate in the Qingya City competition area is actually a process. , among the age group under thirty years old, Yijue is still a genius among immortal cultivators, and there is indeed a high probability that he can maintain a winning streak." Wang Quan smiled slightly and looked at Yun Tianfeng.
Yun Tianfeng realized later that there was something wrong with Wang Quan's eyes, especially when he mentioned Yi Jue.
"No matter what, as long as I see Yijue on the court, I will knock him down. I don't want any rewards in the ring, and I don't want to make it easy for him." Yun Tianfeng's bright smile made both Murong Yu and Jiang Chuyao feel numb.
"The little lunatic has changed and is almost as good-looking as Brother Murong." Jiang Chuyao muttered.
