Zhang Sui flicked the power of the Seed of Charm and released its hold on it.
That trace of power stayed in the air for a moment, then quickly flew towards the east.
Zhang Sui transformed into a sword light and followed from a distance.
That trace of power was extremely fast, and soon brought Zhang Sui to the vicinity of Anxi City.
Zhang Sui looked at the tall walls of Anxi City from a distance and remembered what Lao Lu said, that the soldiers came to Anxi City for fun during their vacations.
The trace of power in the spiritual thoughts has already approached Anxi City.
Zhang Sui couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. Zhang Sui had known before that this power seemed to have the ability to return to its original form, but he always felt that it might be a trap.
But looking at it now, it's not very likely that it's a trap.
Because there are many high-level practitioners guarding Anxi City now. After all, this is the city closest to the front line, and its status is very important.
There must be no trouble here, otherwise it may directly affect the deployment and logistics of the imperial army.
If the owner of this trace of power is really in this city, Zhang Sui will not worry.
Even if the opponent has a strong man with the Earth Immortal Mirror and sets a trap, Zhang Sui is sure to support the practitioners in the city to come to his aid.
That trace of power leapt across the city and disappeared into a bustling area.
Zhang Sui wanted to follow closely, but as soon as he approached the city wall, several powerful spiritual consciousnesses locked onto him.
Zhang Sui knew that this person should be a master of the city's guards. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Zhang Sui showed his body and did not directly jump over the wall.
In just a few breaths, two high-level cultivators from the Human Immortal Realm came close to them. They were wearing the armor of generals in the army. If they were not flying in the air, they would have thought they were two generals.
Zhang Sui cupped his hands from afar and said, "I, Zhang Sui, of the Ruyi Sect, have met two fellow Taoists!"
The two men were about to ask about Zhang Sui's identity. When they heard his introduction, their aura immediately calmed down.
The two opened their visors, and it turned out that they were two young men who looked very similar.
One of them said respectfully: "Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jin of Tongtian Mansion have met Daoist Zhang."
When Zhang Sui heard this, his heart moved. He did not expect that these two masters were actually direct lineage practitioners of the imperial court.
Zhang Sui nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect these two Taoist friends from Tongtian Mansion. No wonder they have such cultivation at such a young age."
Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "Zhang Daoyou is ridiculous. Compared with you, we are far behind. I wonder why Zhang Daoyou is here?"
Because this matter involved Kong Wei, Zhang Sui didn't want to get involved too much, so he said: "I am an idler in the army now, and I go out for a walk when I have nothing to do. I have been here for so long, and I have never been to Anxi City. I want to come over and take a look today."
Look!"
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Jin looked at each other, then looked at Zhang Sui and said, "I see, do you need us to make some recommendations for fellow Taoists?"
Zhang Sui quickly shook his head and said, "No need to bother you two, I'm just strolling around."
Zhou Jin was probably young and had a cheerful and enthusiastic temperament. He said to Zhang Sui: "Friend Zhang, I have admired you for a long time, because my duty has never been far away from here. Today, Taoist friend came to my territory. I will definitely do my best."
Landlord’s favor!”
Zhang Sui scratched his head a little, wondering what was going on with Zhou Jin that he was so enthusiastic towards him.
Zhou Yuan saw Zhang Sui's expression and said with a smile: "Zhang Daoyou is very famous in our circle for rescuing hundreds of thousands of people.
My little brother admires Daoist Zhang very much. If you come here to relax, let him be your tour guide. This guy has a good knowledge of things in Anxi City. If you have anything, you can ask him directly.
That’s fine.”
Looking at Zhou Jin's enthusiastic eyes, Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said: "In that case, I will trouble Daoist Zhou!"
Zhou Jin was overjoyed and said quickly: "No trouble, no trouble at all! Zhang Daoyou, you should be older than me. Why don't I call you Brother Zhang? You can just call me Xiao Jin."
Looking at the familiar Zhou Jin, Zhang Sui smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan said: "Xiaojin, just take Fellow Daoist Zhang for a walk around the city. I'll go back first. Fellow Daoist Zhang, I won't accompany you as I have responsibilities."
Zhang Sui cupped his hands, and Zhou Yuan turned and left.
Zhou Jin came to Zhang Sui's side, took off his helmet, and revealed his full face.
Zhou Jin looked like a little fresh meat, and his face was full of joy at this time. He came closer and asked: "I wonder where Brother Zhang wants to visit when he comes here? There are many beautiful scenery in Anxi City.
There is no shortage of places to go, eat, drink, have fun, and cultural sites!”
Seeing his attentive appearance, Zhang Sui felt a little puzzled and asked, "It seems that Xiaojin is quite familiar with me? I don't remember that we have never met before, right?"
Zhou Jin whispered: "Although we have never met, you know Sister Fu, right?"
Zhang Sui was stunned: "Sister Fu?"
Zhou Jin said: "Fu Yun!"
Hearing this, Zhang Sui couldn't help but look at Zhou Jin and asked, "That's my sister-in-law, of course I know her!"
Zhou Jin said: "That is my eldest sister. Although she is not a relative, she has watched me grow up! She is the closest to me." She took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui took it with some confusion and looked at Fu Yun's handwriting. He did not read the content inside, but just looked up at Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin said: "Sister Fu sent this to me before leaving for Kunzhou City. She wanted me and my eldest brother to go to Kunzhou City to find you and ask you to introduce us to Junshan Academy. But later on, my eldest brother and I had some encounters, so we gave up.
Got the chance to enter the academy.”
When Zhang Sui heard this, he did not expect that there was such a relationship.
He looked at Zhou Jin and saw that his cultivation was already at the high level of Human Immortal Realm, and Zhou Yuan who had just left was in the same realm as him.
Zhang Suidao: "What kind of cultivation level were you at that time?"
Zhou Jin smiled and said: "I just entered the fairyland!"
When Zhang Sui heard this, he was like, wow! This cultivation level has improved very quickly. In just a few months, he went from the basic level of Human Immortal Realm directly to the high level. No wonder he didn't go to him.
With this relationship, the two of them couldn't help but get closer.
Zhang Sui returned the letter to Zhou Jin, who took it and carefully put it in his arms.
Zhou Jin looked a little gloomy and said: "I don't know how Sister Fu is doing now. My master said that Sister Fu's situation is a mixed blessing. It depends on her own luck."
Zhang Sui patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Sister Fu has a lot of good fortune and everything will be fine!"
Zhou Jin nodded and asked, "Where is Brother Zhang going? I'll show you the way!"
Zhang Sui nodded, pointed to the area where the trace of power disappeared, and asked: "What kind of livelihood are there in that prosperous area?"
Zhou Jin looked at the direction Zhang Sui pointed with a strange look on his face and said, "There are some romantic places over there. Brother Zhang, do you want to go there?"
Zhang Sui was stunned when he heard this and touched his chin. As a good young man, he had never been to such a place in his previous life. Although he was a playboy in this life, he was still young and had no chance to visit it before.
To say that I'm not curious would be a lie.
But what he didn't expect was that the owner of that breath would be hiding here, which made Zhang Sui a little worried about Kong Wei's safety.
Zhang Suidao: "Then take me to see it!"
Zhou Jin smiled and said: "There is no problem in going there, but it is still daytime. Although it looks bustling there, it is actually open at night. There is nothing interesting in the past!"
Zhang Sui glanced at Zhou Jin. This guy looked young, but he seemed to know the rules of these places.
However, he came here this time to confirm Kong Wei's situation, not to have fun.
Zhang Suidao: "I have nothing to do anyway, so you can take me there for a walk first!"
When Zhou Jin heard this, he nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, wait for me for a moment. I'll go change my clothes."
After saying that, he led Zhang Sui to a courtyard in the city. Zhang Sui could feel that there were many practitioners nearby. This should be a place for practitioners to guard and rest.
After a while, Zhou Jin, dressed in brocade clothes, came to Zhang Sui's side. Zhang Sui looked at him and saw that he was really a piece of meat, a young man like jade, elegant and suave. He had a folding fan in his hand and couldn't help but feel happy.
He thought of his good friend Huang Jian, who was even better in terms of appearance.
Zhou Jin took Zhang Sui and walked along as a carriage.
On the way, Zhou Jin introduced the situation to Zhang Sui.
The place Zhang Sui pointed to was called Liuyi Alley, and it was no ordinary place for hooking fences.
Although Anxi City is located on the border, its literary style is flourishing.
Most of the literati in this world follow the principle of reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.
If you can't go to the border, you will be embarrassed to show off yourself in the circle.
This has brought about a very strange phenomenon. Throughout the dynasties, the writing style of border cities has not been weaker than that of central areas. There are even many literati who are proud of their military experience.
This trend not only brought about a strong writing style, but also made poetry recitation particularly popular in these border cities. After all, literati were fashionable.
After Zhang Sui came to this world, he was involved in the world of cultivating immortals, but he really didn't participate in this circle of literati.
Judging from Zhou Jin's appearance, she seemed to be very familiar with this circle, and she introduced the origin of Liuyi Lane along the way.
It is said that the name of this place can be traced back to the previous dynasty. At that time, a man named Liu traveled here and used poetry as a source of inspiration. He slept on flowers and willows. Not only that, if he felt satisfied, he would leave a piece of clothing.
How many pieces of clothing can a person carry? In the end, eight pieces of clothing were left, belonging to the top brands of eight different establishments.
Until now, hundreds of years have passed, and the treasures of eight places here are the clothes of Liu.
Every three years, various places will compete to find an oiran, and the reward is the clothes reserved by their place.
Zhou Jin sighed: "It's a pity that we came here at the wrong time. Last year was the year of the oiran selection. It's a pity that we didn't catch up with the grand occasion!"
Zhang Sui, who was silently listening to his introduction, suddenly asked: "Xiaojin, how old are you this year?"
Zhou Jin, who was thinking about the grand occasion, was stunned when he heard this and replied: "I just turned sixteen this year, what's wrong, Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Suidao: "I didn't expect you to be proficient in this at such a young age!"
Zhou Jin heard this and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you don't know something. My eldest brother and I have been going to various brothels in Tianjing City since we were twelve years old, and we are quite famous in the circle!"
Zhang Sui thought to himself: "Twelve years old? I'm afraid my hair didn't even grow at that time, right?"
Zhang Sui asked in confusion: "How did you two brothers cultivate to this state with such temperament?"
Zhou Jin laughed and said: "This has something to do with our master. My master comes from a monastic sect. He said that he seemed to have offended a certain master and had to be thrown into Tongtian Mansion in the end.
My elder brother and I also met my master in a brothel. The exercises in our sect are different from ordinary cultivation methods. They have very high requirements for character and qualifications, but once the requirements are met, the progress will be very fast."
Zhang Sui looked at Zhou Jin and said with a strange expression: "Isn't it some kind of dual cultivation method?"
Zhou Jin was startled, stopped and looked at Zhang Sui, whispering: "Brother Zhang is indeed an extraordinary person. As he said, what we practice is the method of dual cultivation!
My master said that this kind of skill is rare in the world and very few people know about it. Unexpectedly, I just mentioned it a little and Brother Zhang could see the root of it!"
Zhang Sui's spiritual sense checked Zhou Jin's body and found that there was no blood resentment, and he was secretly relieved.
Zhang Suidao said: "Taking yin and replenishing yang?"
Zhou Jin quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, what you are talking about is a crooked way, a way of benefiting oneself at the expense of others. The exercises of our sect are authentic Taoist exercises."
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "That's good. I've heard of your technique. Although it's fast, it can easily go astray."
Zhou Jin nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, the master always warns us like this. But Brother Zhang, don't worry, in order to practice this skill, the family has married six wives and concubines for me and my eldest brother, just to worry about us doing random things outside."
.”
Zhang Sui looked at the boy sideways and said, "Then you are a very handsome boy! But why are you so excited when it comes to these places?"
Zhou Jin spread out the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Home flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers!"
Zhang Sui shook his head repeatedly. Seeing this, Zhou Jin smiled and said, "It's just a joke. I'm here just to have fun and see something new!"
Zhang Sui didn't believe what he said, but he was very interested in his skills. It would be good to find an opportunity to discuss them at that time.
The two chatted casually and slowly entered Liuyi Lane.
Sure enough, as Zhou Jin said, although Liuyi Alley is quite lively at this time, it is only lively on the street. Various stalls are selling goods and a variety of food, making the street extremely lively.
However, the doors of the gorgeous lofts on both sides were closed at this time and were not open for business.
Zhou Jin led Zhang Sui slowly along the street, pointing to the attics on both sides and introducing him to some of the tips.
Zhang Sui listened to his introduction and secretly searched for any trace of power.
Along the way, Zhang Sui targeted a place called Ziwei Pavilion. On the signboard of this place, there was a painting of a Yunqin, which looked very elegant.
Moreover, Zhang Sui could feel a hint of familiarity in it.
Zhang Sui pointed to Ziwei Pavilion and asked Zhou Jin, "What's so famous about this place?"
Zhou Jin looked at the signboard of Ziwei Pavilion, thought for a while, and said: "This place seems to have just opened last month. There is a master of piano music who is sitting there. I have never been there. Because I heard them say that
You guys are too young to suit my taste.
What? Does Brother Zhang have a good eye for this place?"
Zhang Sui nodded and said, "I'm quite interested in music."
Zhou Jin showed an understanding look and said: "In that case, I will take Brother Zhang to drink tea and take a rest for a while, and then come back here in the evening."
Zhang Sui nodded, glanced at the Ziwei Pavilion sign, turned around and left with Zhou Jin.
