Li Yu took Qin Keqing and walked away, completely ignoring the shocked jaw behind him.
After Qin Keqing was brought back from southern Xinjiang by Lin Lingsu, he had been practicing in Yuanmiao Mountain, and later followed Li Yu and entered Fengyue Baojian.
This was her first time wandering around the city, and her beautiful eyes looked around, full of curiosity.
Li Yu bought some supplies for her in another store, helped Qin Keqing pull her long hair into a bun, tied it with a ribbon, and then put on a blouse to cover up her graceful figure.
Jianye City in Soochow is much more spacious than Bianliang's land-rich city. There are also large areas of wasteland in the city, which makes it appear vast and sparsely populated.
Most of the people on the road are bullock carts, and the roads are paved with loess and have deep ruts. In Bianliang City, horses are coming and going, and the ground is covered with bluestone roads. If you drive a donkey cart, you will be embarrassed to follow.
People say hello, let alone the slow ox cart.
Although the city is majestic, its area is slightly smaller than the famous large cities of the Six Dynasties, and it lacks many complicated and gorgeous decorations and exquisite curves.
The eaves of government offices are generally large, but they rarely have elegant cornices. Instead, they are simple straight lines pressed thickly on the beams. There are round tiles arranged under the eaves, with various cloud patterns, bird patterns, animal patterns, and insect patterns painted on them.
, flower and bird patterns and text patterns; below is a huge wooden pillar, the whole body of the pillar is painted, solemn and steady.
Whether they were pedestrians or young men galloping on horseback, most of them carried knives and swords. It can be seen that the three countries of Wei, Shu and Wu are different from other countries in the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties. The people here are fierce and martial arts are very popular.
Because they still often fight back and forth, and of course sometimes there will be a short period of peace.
Li Yu himself also discovered that people from these three countries tend to have a special martial spirit. Lu Lingqi and Jiang Wei are the best.
In comparison, the people of the Song Dynasty did not have that heroic spirit.
They are more philistine. Even Cai Jing and Zhou Yulu Su feel this way when compared together.
I don’t know what Chang’an was like during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty. There is also the legendary Jinling City where the fragrance of Qinhuai River flows. I have a friend Xue Pan there, and I don’t know how his sister’s illness is.
Thinking of this, Li Yu had some desire to travel far. Do I really want to learn from Lin Lingsu and Old Man Zhang and travel around the world?
I remember that in the ruined temple, Zuo Ci also talked about his travels around the world. They not only traveled throughout the Six Dynasties, but also went to southern Xinjiang, the Northern Desert and even further west.
After walking around, Li Yu felt a little hungry and said to Qin Keqing with a smile: "Let's go, I will take you to try another paradise in the world."
"What is it?" Qin Keqing asked expectantly.
“You’ll know when you go there!”
Li Yu chose a good restaurant and ordered eight dishes in a row, starting with the most expensive dishes.
Of course, this money is the public expense of the mission. The other five countries usually deduct the money from the mission, but for the Song Dynasty's mission, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
The first dish is served, which is called Taozhen. It uses one tender loin of equal size from cattle, sheep, deer, and elk, pound them together with cypress wood, pound them until they are pulpy, remove the fascia, and then cook them.
Qin Keqing took a bite and frowned slightly. Only then did Li Yu remember that this was a flower demon.
Just as she was about to order some more vegetarian dishes, Qin Keqing took another bite. She was not very good at using chopsticks, so she simply pinched a small piece with her hands and ate with a smile on her face.
It turns out I can’t use chopsticks
Li Yu laughed dumbly, thinking she didn't eat meat.
“Delicious”
"I'll teach you how to use chopsticks."
Qin Keqing nodded obediently, Li Yu stretched out his hand to hold her catkins, and Qin Keqing giggled.
The two of them ate enough, then packed the bags for Yang Zhi and others, and took Qin Keqing's hand before preparing to go back.
On horseback, Li Yu held her slender waist and sniffed lightly with his nose, smelling a faint fragrance.
This is definitely not the smell of rouge, but her body fragrance, which is refreshing.
"Qing Qing."
"Um?"
"Do you prefer to be inside Fengyue Baojian or outside?"
Qin Keqing tilted her head and thought for a while, then turned around and said with a smile: "I like them all."
The horse hooves of the jade lion in Zhaoye trampled the fallen leaves everywhere, making Li Yu feel as if autumn had come, but now it was just the beginning of summer.
The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth in Jianye City caused the trees to wither ahead of time and leaves to fall everywhere, making it look very desolate.
At that time, although there was auspiciousness filling the sky and fairies scattering flowers, there were also earthquakes in the earth and purple lightning and thunder.
Those fragrant petals melted into the earth after falling to the ground. Some people who wanted to collect a few petals were disappointed.
The benefits are gone, but the damage caused is real and has not been restored because of the disappearance of the vision of heaven and earth.
"The alternation of the four seasons and the change of all things are the way of nature. Although the power of God is mighty, it should not take away the way of nature in the human world." Li Yu said leisurely.
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean, God's power cannot change the human world at will, at least he shouldn't." Li Yu studied the Taiping Sutra. He has a deep-rooted idea that people should put people as the center, understand the great ways of heaven and earth, inherit the five elements, obey the heaven and earth, and gain immortality.
.
Tao follows nature.
It is early summer in the human world. Flowers, plants and trees should be the scenery in people's eyes, but they can only see dead leaves everywhere.
Li Yu's words from a human perspective had a different flavor in Qin Keqing's ears. She said sadly: "Look at these trees, flowers and plants, they are so pitiful."
Are the trees and flowers poor?
Li Yu didn't have this idea, but it was understandable. After all, Qingqing was a lover who turned into a demon.
He smiled in Qin Keqing's ear and said, "Shall we help them?"
"How can I help?"
A faint and moving moan came from the mountain forest covered with fallen leaves.
A delicate and gentle beauty is hunched over, holding a large tree half as thick as a human with her white and tender hands, her hair is messy and hanging on the side of her face, and her red lips are slightly open.
It was Qin Keqing who turned into a demon in love and transformed into a human form.
Li Yu was behind her, and the two of them made the tree trunk tremble slightly, filled with a strong power of wood spirit.
Li Yu took a deep breath and activated the power of the wood spirit, filling the countryside of Jianye.
Among the dead branches on the tree, a new green branch was slowly pulled out, and each leaf curled up and slowly unfolded.
Starting from this tree, the withered flowers and plants around it slowly turned green, red, and white, just like someone took a brush and brushed it over.
Flowers and plants, full of business
After finishing all this, Li Yu fell to the ground tiredly, and the fallen leaves were so soft and comfortable.
One person made the entire Jianye green. Li Yu is not a golden cicada. He doesn't have that skill. He just restored the countryside.
Qin Keqing lay on his chest with a very satisfied expression. She didn't know whether it was because the grass bloomed in spring or for some other reason.
This behavior can be regarded as a small act against nature, which made Li Yu feel a little bit more.
He closed his eyes, feeling the aura of the surrounding vegetation, and the gentle breeze blowing gently across their faces.
"The change of seasons is natural, and so are flash floods and natural disasters. So by restoring the vitality of this countryside, are you following the way of nature, or are you going against nature?"
Li Yu sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and frowned, thinking deeply.
Qin Keqing's eyes widened in surprise, and a strange light flashed behind Li Yu's head.
She put her legs together, sat quietly next to him, and waited quietly.
