The city lord wants to invite Su Yunfei and Yueyao to the city lord's mansion for a while. Su Yunfei declined.
In fact, the lord of a city or the official of a feudal territory at the foot of the mountain are unattainable big figures in the eyes of the secular people. But in the eyes of the monks on the mountain who frequently destroy the world and move mountains and seas, and live long lives, these so-called officials who rule the roost are No different from ordinary people.
Monks do not need to follow secular laws, and rarely walk in the secular world. Many monks spend hundreds or thousands of years in seclusion on the mountain, and ordinary people have already changed for several generations.
Therefore, ordinary people like to call monks gods, immortal masters, etc. If you offend a monk, the entire city may be wiped out with one palm strike.
This is why the Lord of Gongshan City watched his only son being violently beaten by Su Yunfei, even if he was extremely angry, he had to accept Su Yunfei's conditions obediently.
------
On the way to find the inn, Yueyao felt a little disappointed, losing the liveliness and agility of the past.
Su Yunfei asked in confusion: "Sister Yueyao, what's on your mind? Why did you suddenly become so silent? I'm not used to it, haha..."
Yueyao sighed and said: "Well, this is my first time going down the mountain and coming into contact with the secular world. I saw bandits robbing innocent women and evil men oppressing ordinary people. Is there so much evil in this secular world?"
Su Yunfei was silent for a moment and replied: "There are always good and evil in this world, whether in the world or on the mountain.
In the beginning, human beings are inherently good. It depends on how the rulers educate the people and restrain themselves.
Just like the city lord of Gongshan City, if he had not allowed his son to bully the people and rob people's daughters, the people of Gongshan City would not hate the city lord's son so deeply.
After visiting the temple fair these days, I will take you to a place. Although I only stayed there for less than two days, I deeply felt the simplicity and kindness of the villagers. "
Yueyao's eyes lit up and she asked: "Where?"
Su Yunfei chuckled and said: "Keep it secret for now. You will know when I take you to the temple fair after visiting!"
Yueyao muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's annoying!"
Then she regained her former liveliness and agility, bouncing towards the inn.
Entering the inn, the innkeeper was very excited when he saw Su Yunfei and the others. A group of people dining in the lobby also stood up, bowed and saluted, and almost shouted in unison: "Thank you, Master Immortal, for punishing the evil young man. Return the tribute." Peace for the people of the mountain city!"
Su Yunfei was overwhelmed by the crowd's enthusiasm and had no choice but to return the favor.
Su Yunfei said to the innkeeper: "Please arrange two guest rooms!"
The shopkeeper smiled grandly and said: "No problem, Master Xian, all your purchases during your stay will be waived by our store!"
Su Yunfei hurriedly said: "Thank you shopkeeper for your kindness, but how can this be done? It's not easy to open a store and do business. How can I let you do it for free?! As much as you need, or we won't be able to live!"
The shopkeeper said sincerely: "Master Immortal, you have contributed to our people in Shancheng City and punished the evildoers, which is very satisfying! We are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts. If word gets out that you are staying in my hotel and have to pay, people will have your backs whipped. "
Then the shopkeeper smiled sheepishly and added: "The Immortal Master lives here, and the flowers are shining brightly. If word spreads, many people will come here, so please don't refuse."
Feeling the shopkeeper's sincerity, Su Yunfei had no choice but to agree. Then the shopkeeper took Su Yunfei and Yueyao upstairs, and everyone else watched with fists clasped.
When he came to the door of the guest room, the shopkeeper said: "Master Immortal, if you need anything, just call in the room and someone will take care of it for you. This will not delay the Immortal Master's rest." Then he retreated.
Yue Yao also returned to her guest room. The guest room arranged by the shopkeeper was spacious and bright, with all the items in the room. It was clean and tidy, with no peculiar smell. There was a light fragrance that made people feel refreshed. It seemed that the shopkeeper was indeed very good. Attentive.
------
About half an hour later, someone knocked on the door asking to see him. Su Yunfei opened the door and saw an old man in black and white attire.
The old man bowed to Su Yunfei and said respectfully: "I'm sorry for interrupting the Immortal Master's rest. I am Liu Sheng, the chief steward of the Zhang Mansion. I have been entrusted by Miss Qingchan to invite the Immortal Master to attend a party at the Zhang Mansion.
Miss Qingchan was supposed to come in person, but because there were so many young talents attending the meeting, she was unable to come. Please forgive me! "
Su Yunfei wanted to refuse, but he remembered that he had never participated in such a youth gathering, so he nodded and said to Liu Sheng, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion: "Thank you very much, Miss Qingchan! Housekeeper Liu, wait a moment."
He knocked on Yueyao's door and asked if he would attend Zhang's party with him.
Yueyao was very curious about everything in the world, so she agreed without thinking.
This time Yue Yao changed into a pretty and cute floral skirt and tied herself into two long ponytails, making her look even more pretty and cute. Liu Sheng, the chief steward of the Zhang Mansion, was also distracted for a while, but he was Well hidden.
Butler Liu Sheng led them to the carriage parked at the entrance of the inn. Pedestrians on the road stopped to watch. When they saw it was Su Yunfei, they all clasped their fists. Su Yunfei could only clasp his fists in response.
The two got on the carriage, and the housekeeper drove in the direction of Zhang's mansion.
Looking at the luxurious carriage, Yueyao looked around curiously.
In the past, most trips were made by flying in the sky. Traveling by carriage was still the first time for a young girl to get married.
The interior of the carriage is quite spacious. There is a small coffee table in the middle and a small bookshelf filled with various books. The soft cushions are very comfortable to sit on. Although it is driving on the bluestone road, there is no bumpy feeling. There is a faint girlish feeling in the carriage. Qingxiang, this carriage should be the carriage of Zhang Qingchan, the eldest lady of the Zhang family.
On the way, through chatting with Liu Sheng, the chief steward of the Zhang Mansion, I learned that the Zhang Mansion was the natal family of Zhang Yunying, the imperial concubine of the dynasty. Concubine Zhang was knowledgeable, sensible, intelligent, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was deeply favored by the Emperor of Great Xia. The status of the Zhang family in the Xia Kingdom has also increased.
However, the head of the Zhang family knew that the overt and covert fights in the palace were always fierce and cruel. A concubine who was favored today might be thrown into the cold palace tomorrow, so the head of the Zhang family strictly restrained the children in the family. Although he is a relative of the emperor, he is extremely low-key.
After hearing this, Su Yunfei admired the head of the Zhang family very much, and also had a good impression of the Zhang family.
Zhang Qingchan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, studied at Bailu Academy in the Central Plains. She was the second talented girl of the Zhang family.
Zhang Qingchan did not stay in the boudoir every day like other women who had not left the court. Instead, she liked to travel around the world and make friends with heroes from all walks of life. This time, taking advantage of the Rongcheng temple fair, she invited some young talents to gather in the elegant courtyard of Zhang Mansion. , get to know each other, exchange literature, current affairs, etc.
Soon the carriage arrived at the gate of Zhang Mansion. The butler Liu Sheng got out of the car and put the wooden piers away. Su Yunfei helped Yue Yao get out of the carriage.
Zhang Qingchan, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, has been waiting at the door for a long time. She is wearing a long white dress, elegant yet noble. She has a slender figure, plump breasts, a green headband, a single ponytail, a delicate face with flawless oval seeds, and eyebrows like In the distant mountains, although she is a woman, she is still very handsome.
I saw Zhang Qingchan slowly bowing and saying: "Due to the busy schedule of the party and many entertainments, I was unable to invite the Immortal Master in person. Please forgive me. May I ask the Immortal Master's name?"
Su Yunfei looked at the heroic, humble and courteous Zhang Qingchan, and had a good impression. He smiled and replied: "Miss Zhang, you're welcome. I'm Su Yunfei. This is my sister Yueyao."
Zhang Qingchan was very fond of the smart and cute Yue Yao, and Yue Yao also liked this elegant and polite young lady of the Zhang family.
Then Zhang Qingchan led Su Yunfei and Yueyao into the Zhang Mansion gathering venue.
The party venue is quite stylish, with pavilions, bridges, flowing water, rockery and jade, neat lawns in the courtyard, colorful flowers complementing each other, and a group of fish of various colors swimming happily in the small pond.
A group of beauties were dancing gracefully, and the melodious sound of the piano looked around the audience.
A variety of fruits and vegetables are available for parties.
At this moment, everyone was communicating with each other in the attic. When they saw Miss Zhang bringing the two of them, they greeted each other with fists in their hands.
Zhang Qingchan introduced: "These two are Immortal Master Su Yunfei and his sister Immortal Master Yueyao. Everyone must have heard about Immortal Su. The one who punished the bad boy on the street today and forced the city lord to apologize is officially Immortal Su."
Everyone immediately raised their fists to Su Yunfei happily and praised: "Master Su Xian punishes evildoers on the street, it is so heart-warming!"
Su Yunfei also clasped his fists in response to everyone. When everyone saw Yue Yao, their eyes were unconsciously stunned, but they quickly covered it up, but they would glance at her from time to time.
Then Zhang Qingchan began to introduce several distinguished guests to Su Yunfei. She pointed to a handsome man in a blue scholar's shirt and said: "This is Zhao Qiankun from Bailu Academy, who is also my senior. He is rich in knowledge and extremely talented, making him the dean's most talented person. My favorite disciple."
Zhao Qiankun applied the Confucian principle of bowing, and Su Yunfei responded with cupped fists.
Then he pointed to another man in gray clothes wearing a bamboo hat, with a cold face and an unsmiling expression, and said: "This is Liu Yunsheng, a wandering swordsman. I met him when I was traveling in Songshan Mountain. He is a brave man and likes to draw his sword to help when there is injustice on the road."
Liu Yunsheng was stern, nodded and said in a deep voice: "If you hadn't punished him today, I would have definitely chopped off that person's head."
Su Yunfei cupped his fists in return and was speechless.
Then Zhang Qingchan pointed to an extremely handsome man, who was a monk, and said: "This is Master Kongjian of Fahua Temple. He is a philanthropic person who likes to help refugees and educate mountain bandits."
Kong Jian put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name. Su Yunfei returned the gift with cupped fists.
Finally, she pointed to a woman and introduced: "This is His Majesty's favorite little princess at that time, Princess Anping. She is also my colleague at Bailu Academy. This time she will come with me to visit the temple fair when I return to my hometown."
Princess Anping winked at Su Yunfei with big bright eyes, and Su Yunfei calmly returned the gesture with fists.
Then Zhang Qingchan briefly introduced some people. Most of these people were famous local scholars, or sons or ladies from wealthy families.
There is no doubt that the people Zhang Qingchan introduced were all monks except Princess Anping. Zhang Qingchan was also a monk. Although she hid it well, she was still noticed by Su Yunfei.
These people come from various places. It can be seen that Zhang Qingchan has a wide range of connections and likes to recruit talents as legendary.
At this time, Zhao Qiankun of Bailu Academy stood up and said, "May I ask where Master Su Xian comes from and who he studied under?" This is also a question that everyone wants to ask.
Su Yunfei replied calmly: "I come from Shushan Sword Tomb and studied under Li Yi."
Everyone was surprised, and even the stern Liu Rusheng couldn't help but look up at Su Yunfei.
Zhao Qiankun said in surprise: "It turns out he is a disciple of the Shushan Sword Tomb. Back then, the sword immortal Duguye led the elites of the human race to fight against the demon clan, kill the demon emperor, and create five thousand years of peace for the human race, which was admired by the whole world. ,
Some time ago, the Shushan Sword Tomb destroyed the heinous evil sect, the Blood Demon Sect, and it was truly a model for righteousness in the world.
Senior Li Yi is also an upright man. He often goes down the mountain to kill demons and help justice. No wonder Master Su Xian has such a chivalrous heart. It turns out that he came from Shushan Sword Tomb and studied under Senior Li! "Zhao Qiankun is like a precious treasure.
Su Yunfei's face was full of pride.
Princess Anping said excitedly: "Wow! You are a sword cultivator, can you fly a sword? I like sword cultivators the most!"
Everyone also made a fuss about Su Yunfei to show off his skills, but Su Yunfei couldn't resist, so he had to control the flying sword to fly several times in the courtyard, and then stabbed a flower pointed by Princess Anping.
Everyone cheered and applauded.
Princess Anping and Yueyao hit it off immediately. They are both lively and lovely girls. They are whispering and laughing together now, as if they have known each other for a long time.
Su Yunfei chatted with Zhang Qingchan, Zhao Qiankun, Kong Jian, Liu Rusheng and others. The party was held in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. . .
