The lively scene of Honghua Courtyard in the past has become deserted in recent days, with few guests. Except for a few servants left to take care of the compound, the rest of the people are heading towards Chuncheng Mountain. This grand martial arts competition, which has been scheduled for ten years, There are many heroes from all walks of life who came to participate in the appointment! In the dense forest ten miles away from the west side of the compound, there is a sacrificial temple. There are many spiritual tablets in the hall. An old man lit three sticks of incense and stood silently in front of the spiritual body. However, he saw a black plaque engraved with: Hero Chu The position of the same lineage!
"Xue'er, come quickly and pay homage to your Uncle Chu!"
The old man who spoke was none other than Lu Xiang!
"Yes, father!"
Lu Xue'er took two steps forward and put her fingers together: "Uncle Chu, are you okay? Xue'er is here to see you!" She knelt down and kowtowed three times!
"Brother Chu, today is an auspicious day. Lu Xiang and Xue'er have come to pay their respects. I hope you have a spirit in heaven and let me kill the enemy as soon as possible and retrieve the Bauhinia Box. In this way, you can rest in peace even under the Nine Springs! "
Lu Xueer's eyes were filled with tears, and she said sadly: "Father, Uncle Chu was brutally killed to save me. He is the biggest benefactor of our Lu family!"
"Yes, Xue'er, you must remember your benefactor. If you are free in the future, don't forget to give Uncle Chu a stick of incense!"
"Xue'er understands!"
"Father, Xue'er is a little curious. Is the Bauhinia box important?" Lu Xue'er looked at Lu Xiang seriously and asked!
Lu Xiang sighed and said deeply: "Actually, the Bauhinia Box contains the only remaining famous painting "Luo Gu Tu". It was originally a generous gift prepared for the ten-year appointment at Chuncheng Mountain! This painting has been circulated among the people for about four decades. A hundred years old, it is now priceless. The mountains in the painting are undulating, the rivers are vast, and the birds are flying in the sky. Every bit and every ink is painted with care and detail, which can be called the soul of the painting!"
"Oh, Xue'er knows!"
"Senior Lu..."
While he was talking, there was a soft groan from outside the hall, and someone walked in quickly.
"Brother Qin Mi, is there any news about Lin Feng?" Lu Xiang hurriedly greeted him!
This person is Qin Mi, one of the four great masters of Qi, Zhao, Qin and Ming.
"Senior Lu, we inquired all the way and learned that Brother Lin has gone to Chuncheng Mountain, and the three brothers Qi Song, Zhao Chi'an, and Chu Ye
I'm on my way here, and we'll see you soon! "
"That's great, brother Qin Mi, thank you for your hard work!"
"Senior Lu, you're welcome..."
"Brother, wait a moment, I will go back and pack some luggage, take Mrs. Xuanzi with me, and then we can set off!"
"good!"
After saying that, the three of them left the temple together...
On a quiet ancient road, a black carriage followed a red horse slowly. The carriage's window was covered by a curtain of pink crepe, making it look dignified and gorgeous!
"Senior Lu, after passing this place, the road to Chuncheng Mountain is in front of you!"
said the man on the red horse.
"Well, thank you, brother Qin Mi, please be careful along the way..."
Lu Xiang replied in the carriage.
Mrs. Lu Xiang looked through the window at the bustling market, but she saw customers coming and going, business, and traffic, making it look like a bustling scene!
"Husband, we have walked hundreds of miles of mountain roads, why not rest here for a while, Xueer should be tired by now!"
"Mom, I'm not tired!" Lu Xueer replied.
Lu Xiang looked around for a while. A wine flag fluttered in the wind in front of him, with three big characters reflected on it: Zuihua Tower!
Just listen to the child singing at the door: "My sister who comes from the south, my brother who goes north, my grandpa who flows east, my father who goes to the west, please come and have a rest. The wine of Zuihualou is the best to drink, this drunken flower Yin's food is really good to eat. After finishing the food and drinking wine, we can hold hands together and be happy forever..."
"Ten Miles Long Pavilion - Zuihua Tower, that is the most prosperous and famous building at the foot of Chuncheng Mountain!"
"Zuihualou?"
"Exactly..."
An old man and a young man on the roadside were talking happily!
"Father, the flowers here are so beautiful, I want to see..."
"Okay!" Lu Xiang opened the car curtain.
There is a path of flowers and stones in front of you. Countless flowers are falling on the bank of the flowing stream. The petals are flowing with the water, plump and full, just like the white snow in spring. The eyes of all kinds of beauties, men and women, are full of fragrance. The gauze curtain is hanging, smiling up to the sky, and they are happy all their lives...
Flowers often lose their color because of their abundance, and are often abandoned because of their clumps, but I don’t know how many nymphomaniacs have had their hearts broken...
Suddenly, many people stood on tiptoes and cheered: "I saw it... so beautiful, so beautiful Zuihua Tower..."
Lu Xiang looked around and saw that this building stood close to the mountain, with clear water flowing eastward and misty waves on one side, and surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was enchanting!
According to legend, this building is filled with the fragrance of flowers all year round, attracting visitors. If the flowers are similar, the fragrance does not have to travel far, hence the name "Drunken Flower Building"! The building is more than ten feet high and is divided into two floors. The upper floor has octagonal peaks and the lower floor has square eaves. A small copper bell is tied to each eaves corner, making a tinkling sound when the breeze blows. There are clay sculptures of animals, flowers and plants on each roof ridge. And figure carvings, red pillars, green tiles, and gold-plated tops show not only stability and strength, but also beauty and exquisiteness...
Every festive season, literati and swordsmen from all over the world gather here to drink, write poems, discuss swords in front of flowers, write about heroic spirit, and talk about the love between children. What a joy!
"Father, this Zuihua Tower is really lively and full of flowers!"
"Yes, Xue'er, this building was built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It can compete with the Yueyang Tower in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Yellow Crane Tower in the Three Kingdoms. Its reputation is not small!"
Lu Xueer nodded silently: "Zuihualou is really not simple!"
Zuihua Tower is surrounded by large and small liquor shops for several miles. Everyone who enters the shop is drunk. You can smell a strong smell of alcohol from a distance. I heard that the flowers are more beautiful when you are drunk. However, most people who come to see flowers just stare at people. There is a saying: the drunken eyes look at the flowers without saying a word, and the drunken people look at the flowers and cherish each other!
"The authentic little red trough of Zuihualou, come on, sir, come in and have a few drinks. If you don't like it, you don't have to pay. The color of this wine is like rouge, and you can become an immortal after drinking it..."
"Haha, can you become an immortal after drinking it?" An official in a black and red robe jumped off his horse.
"Yes, yes, drinking the little red trough will make the official feel ecstasy..."
"The shopkeeper is really good at telling jokes. It doesn't matter whether we become immortals or not. We'll do it first and then we'll talk about it!"
In the lingering sound, there was only a "clang" sound, and a big knife was slashed on the door panel.
"My lord, spare your life, spare your life. I made a mistake. You can drink this wine as much as you want, no money, no money..."
On the carriage, a woman's eyes were as bright as the stars and the moon, but her words were as cold as ice: "Today, my princess has something to do, so I have sealed your restaurant and asked everyone inside to get out and serve a table of good wine. If you don't serve me well, I'll kill everyone in the building!" This woman is none other than Princess Lingxiao!
"Yes, yes, sir, good wine, good food, and big fish and meat will be brought to you soon!" The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized tremblingly!
When Lu Xiang heard the news, he saw a group of soldiers and horses running towards a restaurant. The woman on the carriage was wearing a red official uniform and looked very delicate!
The store suddenly became quiet, and a group of drinking men, women, and children ran out of the restaurant in a panic with their heads buried...
About ten steps behind the woman, a general stepped out on horseback with a gloomy face. He saw his green robe and silver armor, the spear in his hand was sharp, and his cold brows concealed the fierce fighting spirit! This general is none other than Princess Lingxiao’s future son-in-law—Lingxiao Shaogu. He was once a major general who defeated tens of millions of enemies, was a handsome and handsome young man, and was the unparalleled hero in her heart!
"Princess Lingxiao has an order, let's take a short rest!" Lingxiao Shaogu said. Looking at the face that was as cool as the moon and as bright as the stars, it was as if it was bathed in the spring breeze, and it was extremely calm. But the moment the words came out, Even the spring light covering the eyelashes is covered with frost!
"Brother Shaogu, it's already dawn and you haven't slept all night. Why don't you have a good rest and let me clear the way for you!" Princess Lingxiao said softly with a warm tone!
Ling Shaogu smiled at her: "Princess, I'm fine..."
