When they were at ease, Li Chen asked about what happened on Fengbai Mountain.
When Lian Hai heard that the two wanted to go to Fengbai Mountain to look for someone, his face tightened: "Go to Fengbai Mountain to look for someone?"
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other and asked quickly: "Is there something wrong?"
Lian Hai smiled slightly and filled up the drinks for the two of them: "I'm afraid the two masters will have to wait a few more days."
"Why is that?"
Lian Hai picked up the wine glass and walked to the window sill: "You two masters don't know something."
"This place is divided into one city and one mountain. The city is Anhou City and the mountain is Fengbai Mountain.
The Nv'er Village on Fengbai Mountain can be traced back to the Huangdi period, which was built earlier than the Zhou Dynasty.
It is said that during the Conferred Gods War, Nerzhai helped Zhou conquer the Shang Dynasty and made great contributions to the country."
"Later, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was settled, the Emperor of Zhou issued a special edict to make the owner of his daughter's village a princess and use Fengbai Mountain as a fiefdom.
One mountain and one city are divided and divided, and the city is under the jurisdiction of Anhou City, but this mountain is under the autonomy of Nuerzhai, and there is no tax or service."
"Although the two have something in common with each other, they are independent of each other. If we talk about it, Nervzhai has a much greater influence than Anhou City."
"So Fengbai Mountain is under the jurisdiction of Nuerzhai, and outsiders will have to have some trouble entering it."
"If we go up the mountain at normal times, we can get away with it.
But it’s not easy to go up the mountain at this time.”
Lianshan frowned.
Li Sao heard this and asked hurriedly: "Why is this?"
Lianshan drank some fine wine and then spoke eloquently: "Because of the Nürger Spring, all the babies born in this Nv'er Village are girls, so they must recruit sons-in-law from all over the mountain in order to thrive."
"And every year on June 18th, a 'Bamboo Shoot Competition' is held to select husbands for girls of the right age."
"At that time, all men of the right age who participate in the conference will have to go up the mountain to cut a bamboo shoot for the women in the daughter village to choose.
To seize bamboo shoots is also to seize a son-in-law.
If you are attracted by a woman and take away the bamboo shoots, you can join your daughter-in-law's village."
"So the mountains are closed a few days before June 18th every year to ensure that there are enough bamboo shoots on the mountains."
"If you go up the mountain at this time, it's obvious that you can't get in."
"Is there no other way? This is life and death."
Seeing the anxiety on Li Sao's face, Lian Hai thought for a moment and coughed lightly: "Unless..."
Having said this, he looked at the two of them separately.
"Unless the two masters also participate in the 'Bamboo Shoot Competition'."
Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
Lian Hai looked at the two monks and added fuel to his fire: "The women in the daughter's village have been nourished by the spring water since they were young, so every one of them is like a hibiscus, with a temperament that is as pure as dust. They are definitely not comparable to those of the vulgar people at the foot of the mountain."
Speaking of this, even Lian Hai himself turned red.
Obviously, he must have remembered a certain glimpse in his mind.
Li Chen couldn't help but ask: "There are so many people in the city now just to participate in the bamboo shoot competition?"
"Of course, anyone who meets the conditions can participate, ranging from queens and dignitaries to the penniless."
“If you participate, you will have the opportunity to go up the mountain to cut bamboo shoots. Regardless of whether you are attracted by a woman or not, as long as you can cut the bamboo shoots, you can take them away.
These are not ordinary bamboo shoots. These bamboo shoots are grown by watering the Daughter's Spring, so they are naturally good ingredients for medicine.
If you are lucky enough to pick the Xiangfei bamboo shoot, it is a sacred medicine that nourishes the soul, and one plant can be used to change a cave with good aura."
"Many sects also specially organize disciples to participate."
"If you are selected, there will be an additional communication channel between the two forces. Why not?"
Seeing that the two of them were shocked, Lian Hai continued:
"Among these people, there are many characters from "The Golden Scale List"."
"Golden Scale List" is similar to "Qun Fang Pu", both are ranking lists of talents in the world.
Both lists are based on status, background, strength, talent, mentorship, etc., and gather young talents in the world of cultivation together.
Those who are included among them are all top-notch people in the world.
"Even the young master on the "Golden Scale List" is here?"
Li Sao couldn't help but be surprised. Even in a remote place like Shasheng Temple, she heard a lot about the talents of geniuses from all over the world.
Lian Hai looked like it was a matter of course, and said with his hands behind his back: "Besides, three years ago, the fifth son of the King of Chu, Mi Zi'ang, the 'Huanzhu Gongzi', came to attend, and his style was unparalleled.
.
Unfortunately, when they were about to get married, they were intercepted by the King of Chu and sent back. It is said that they are still locked up tightly."
"The year before last, Mu Ren, the sixth-generation chief disciple of Yanshi Palace, the "Three People", rushed to participate in the conference, but because he never took off his mask, no one chose him, and he finally left disappointed."
Yanshi Palace is good at hiding his true identity and manipulating puppets and puppets to fight, so most of them wear masks.
"Last year, three of the Shushan Sword Sect's 'Seven Star Sword Masters' came. Among them, Tianxuan Sword succeeded in getting married, and his master was so angry that he demolished half of the mountain."
Hahaha.
"As for this year, I'm afraid there will be even more people coming."
"Oh? Then why?"
Lian Hai rubbed his hands and his face glowed: "Hey, this year is different. This year the village owner's daughter 'Princess Shenxiu' has also reached the age and will definitely participate in the bamboo shoot competition."
"Think about it if you can marry Princess Shenxiu, hehe, don't shed tears in vain, it's Nu Nuer Hong... Well, Nu Nuer Hong really doesn't dare to drink casually, it's easy to get divorced."
"In short, if I marry this Princess Shenxiu, then the entire Xiangfei Valley will be ranked lower than a few people and more than ten thousand people, and the entire southern Xinjiang will be ranked high."
"not to mention……"
He cleared his throat and whispered: "What's more, this Princess Shenxiu is Zhong Lingyuxiu. She is a stunning beauty. She was also listed in Dazhou's "Qun Fang Pu" and was rated as the number one beauty in southern Xinjiang."
"If this is selected, I won't be allowed to take off~"
Lian Hai's face was full of excitement, and after speaking, he gave Li Chen a look.
Li Chen smiled, his mind was full but his strength was not enough.
On the contrary, Li Sao was a little embarrassed and asked in a rough voice: "Ahem, I don't know those women...cough~"
He held up his chest with one hand, his face a little twitchy.
"this……"
Lian Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Master Li Sao, it turns out you like this one, you really live up to your name."
Li Sao immediately waved her hands after hearing this: "Lian Donor, Lian Donor, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."
After saying that, he turned to Li Chen and said, "Senior brother, you know that I am not interested in women, it's all because of this child."
Lian Hai then looked at the child in his arms. He had been curious since just now, but he didn't feel comfortable asking.
Li Chen sighed secretly and explained: "We picked this child up on the road. He is very pitiful."
"I ate the milk of wild dogs along the way and survived."
"So that's what it is."
Lian Hai was in awe: "Master Li Sao is so compassionate."
"Then we have to go up the mountain to find a girl, otherwise the baby will starve to death. This is a living life!"
Li Sao had a serious face and nodded: "For no other reason than to find something for Huai Sheng to stutter..."
"In this bamboo shoot competition, little monk Li Sao is bound to do it!"
