As we get closer and closer to Suimo City, there are more and more strange stone orchids growing along the road, just like grass, growing unfettered.
Bai Qingqian fell in love with this place almost immediately. She grew up in Anhe Shendu, where the environment was also the most unique and unique in the mainland, a standard Jiangnan water town; then she went to the mirage along the coast and began to get used to the air.
The salty smell that never goes away.
But this is the first time she has encountered a place like Shangyu. It has both the delicacy of the south and the heroism of the north, perfectly integrated together, giving people a very special feeling.
The climate, the environment...including her obviously different mood when she came here, and the strange stone orchid she saw for the first time in her life, seemed to be her own.
The carriage drove all the way into Suimo City. In fact, this place is not exactly a city. Because of the particularity of the hilly area, it is difficult to gather the buildings together. Instead, they are built against the mountains. They look like several big towns.
hybrid.
"There are nine towns at the end of the year, namely Qianniu Town, Gentian Town, Horseshoe Town, Xanthium Town, Peacock Town, Goose Palm Town, Baochun Town, Lingjian Town, and Dendrobium Town. I don't know which one the two guests are going to.
town?"
The two of them really haven't thought about this issue. After all, they are new here. "Uncle Zhang, do you have any recommendations? It's our first time here too."
Uncle Zhang smiled honestly, "The nine towns at the end of the year are actually named after flowers. They have not changed for thousands of years. These nine towns represent the most famous flowers in this town in order, namely tricolor morning glory, blue morning glory, etc.
Generally speaking, the architecture is similar, the eating habits are also similar, and the characters and culture are of the same origin. So if you want me to help you choose, it’s really difficult for me. The key is, what kind of flowers do you like?"
Bai Qingqian thought for a while, "There is no Stone Orchid Town? Isn't it said that the strange stone orchid is the national flower here?"
The coachman, Lao Zhang, was asked and touched his head, "Maybe there are strange stone orchids everywhere, so you are not surprised?" Hou Zi smiled and held the woman's hand, "Then we will walk around a few towns. I will
Seeing as this Suimo City is not big, you can walk through it quickly. Then we will see how it feels and see which town has the most strange stone orchids. If you like it the most, we will stop there."
After giving enough fare, seeing Uncle Zhang leaving happily, the two began to wander around the nine towns at the end of the year hand in hand; for ordinary mortals, relying solely on foot strength is also very tiring. After all, the nine towns are all built on hills.
But these are not problems for them.
They walk very slowly because they have become accustomed to the slow pace over the past few months. In this slowness, they can also discover another side of life, a side that they usually ignore.
One day in town, just walking around the streets and alleys, like all other tourists, there is nothing special. Hou Zi found that there are many practitioners here, and there are few flying around in the sky, all like them
The same thing happens in the middle of the street.
Bai Qingqian also discovered this situation, "There are many practitioners, some practice at home, some rent houses for short periods of time, and some live in inns in a hurry, just like us."
Hou Zi discovered more, but he was careful not to tell it, fearing that the woman would worry.
That is, he found that the monks who came here were all very powerful, mainly in the three realms of Tongtian, and their sects were mixed and mixed, covering almost all aspects of the mainland, including not only Taoist sects, but also Buddhist sects, magic sects, side sects and unknown small sects. He
I have been to many places, such as Lizhihai and the Northwest Desert, where there are many monks from different sects mixed together, but the level of strength is incomparable to here, as if those who come here are all the elite of the elite.
What's even weirder is that all the monks he saw wandering around the streets and alleys had smiles on their faces and calm breaths, but they didn't have the same aura as elsewhere, as if they would start a fight if they disagreed. Yes.
Has the environment here changed people, or do people come here for other purposes?
Bai Qingqian's feeling was much duller than his, but no matter how dull it was, she felt a little uneasy after a few days.
"Houlang, is there some kind of event going to be held here? Why do I feel that there are too many practitioners, and they are all gentle and polite... And you, please restrain yourself.
, since all those who come are semen
Ying, I'm afraid the level of this *** can't be lowered. You don't want to cause trouble, ruin the atmosphere here, and destroy the flowers and plants here."
Hou Zi was a little speechless, "Madam, am I that kind of person? Recently, I have almost become the helpful little prince of Jinxiu Continent; I don't necessarily have any ***, I can't explain it clearly, but
But I roughly know the origins of these monks, they are probably all true disciples of various Taoist traditions in the mainland, right?"
Bai Qingqian was stunned, "What's going on? Why are you all here?"
Hou Yiyi said, "Because there are two missing among the twelve zodiac signs, since there are free positions, Shangyu Tianxin Pavilion is the biggest party that determines the ranking of the zodiac signs. Of course, all the true legends with ideas will come here.
Once you turn around and reveal yourself, you can’t let people forget you, right?"
Bai Qingqian's heart tightened, and she felt a little regretful, "Hou Lang, I know you...shouldn't we come to this place? Do you know how to perform a decisive battle?"
Hou Ting shrugged and comforted her and said, "No, Yu Tianxin Pavilion is not that shallow. In other words, if you could create a true zodiac sign based on your ability, your husband should have been a zodiac sign long ago. Why did you waste your time and become nothing now?"
Bai Qingqian still felt uneasy, "What if the rules change this time? Didn't you also say that this opportunity is the best opportunity before the world changes? If the world can be broken, what other rules must be followed?
Keep it? "
Hou Zi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make such a splash here. They are qualified because they are true successors. I don't even have the qualifications. Besides, do you think Tianxin Pavilion really cares about this?"
"Then what do they care about?" Bai Qingqian said reluctantly.
Hou Zi sighed, "I don't know either. In fact, no one knows the rules of their selection, so they can't work in that direction; but I think this is the best, otherwise the atmosphere of the cultivation world will be affected. Cultivation, is
To get a ranking?"
Bai Qingqian felt a little relieved, but it was impossible to not care at all. Hou Zi knew what she was thinking and held her hand.
"I said I came out this time just to accompany you, and then I found two places to deepen my Five Elements abilities. I kept my word; in Shangyu, I was just a tourist accompanying my wife to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Those people have nothing to do with me.
It's just a coincidence that we came here, or you wouldn't want to leave now, would you?"
