The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years.
Perhaps because of the extremely high altitude, the air in Baiyun City is excellent, with a PM2.5 index of 0.
Lin Beichen slept until noon, then opened his eyes in a daze, and washed up as usual under the service of two beautiful maids, Qianqian and Qianqian.
In the yard, junior uncle Yin Shan has prepared breakfast, which are all specialties of Baiyun City.
There are cloud pigeon soup, steamed ear cake, ice tea, white cloud hot noodles, golden rice porridge, donkey rolling, tree sparrows, oil cakes, white cloud fruit crisp candy, golden rice cake...
Full of color and flavor.
They are all made by the little uncle himself.
For this reason, she was busy until midnight last night.
"tasty."
Lin Beichen was not polite, opened his belly and ate it all in one go.
"If you like it, I'll feed it to you every day."
Young Master Yin Shan's eyes were bright, shining with the light of peach blossoms.
"That's so embarrassing."
Lin Beichen smiled shyly.
The young uncle said calmly: "If you feel embarrassed, my nephew, you can return the favor and let me taste your craftsmanship."
"Uh...I'm not very good at cooking."
Lin Beichen raised his middle finger and thought to himself: Why does it feel like my uncle wants to pick me up?
"You can feed it to me down there."
The junior uncle smiled and said.
Lin Beichen: "???"
What kind of tiger and wolf words is this?
Are the elders nowadays so direct?
"I heard that there is a delicacy in Yunmeng City called Yunmeng Long Noodles, which is considered a local specialty." Junior Uncle Master added with bright eyes.
"Oh, okay, I'll try my best."
Lin Beichen raised his middle finger and rubbed his eyebrows.
"By the way, where are my master and the others?"
There was no sign of Old Man Ding inside or outside the yard, Lin Beichen asked curiously.
Junior uncle Yin Shan smiled and said: "Senior brother Ding went to see the city lord."
"Um?"
Lin Beichen was quite surprised.
Yin Shan explained with a smile: "At sunrise today, the City Lord's Mansion invited disciples to come and invite Senior Brother Ding to be a guest. Sixth Brother will accompany them. The two of them went to the City Lord's Mansion together to discuss expelling outsiders. In addition,
Senior Brother Ding also wants to investigate the disappearance of the old City Lord, and the relevant information is stored in the City Lord's Mansion."
Lin Beichen nodded thoughtfully.
I always feel like there is something wrong with this new city lord.
But Lao Ding shouldn’t encounter any danger if he goes there, right?
After all, I killed fourteen heavenly beings last night and showed enough strength. I don't believe that the city lord would be so stubborn that he would die.
"Are you worried about Senior Brother Ding's safety?"
The young uncle's eyesight was still very keen, and he guessed Lin Beichen's thoughts right away. Lin Beichen nodded.
The young uncle covered his mouth with a smile and said: "That's not necessary. Your master is absolutely safe in the city lord's mansion."
"Oh? Why is this?"
Lin Beichen's curiosity was aroused.
The junior uncle flipped his hair and said with bright eyes, "Because Junior Sister Lu Guanhai was once the suitor of Senior Brother Ding."
"Oh, Lao Ding has pursued others..."
After hearing this, Lin Beichen was immediately ignited with a burning fire of gossip, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.
etc?
It seems that I just understood it wrong.
Wrong subject or object?
"You mean... the city lord's wife once pursued my master?"
Lin Beichen reacted suddenly.
The young uncle covered his mouth and laughed like a goose.
After a long while, she nodded and said: "Yes, yes, junior sister Lu Guanhai was the most dazzling flower in Baiyun City back then. She came to Sword Immortal Academy more than once to show her favor to senior brother Ding, and she was so infatuated... Even if you later
When Master was expelled from Baiyun City, one of the few suitors was Junior Sister Lu. She is deeply devoted to your Master, and no matter what happens, she will never hurt your Master."
A big question mark appeared in Lin Beichen's mind.
(??_??)?
Is there such a thing?
Isn’t it just Lao Ding’s dignity? What is the flower of Baiyun City really about?
Is it because Lao Ding is ugly? Is it because he is old or because he doesn’t take a shower?
Lin Beichen suddenly felt that this matter was a bit magical.
Because it seems that the mistress is also a super beauty, but she has always been in love with Lao Ding...
emmm.
Does Lao Ding have any unknown strengths?
Or are there any special techniques?
He thought about it seriously and suddenly felt that he should listen to his master more in the future.
After all, his old man's legacy must be passed on to him.
Then Lin Beichen suddenly thought that before he left, he promised his wife that he would take good care of his master and prevent him from rekindling his old love.
As a result, by accident, Lao Ding went to see his old lover alone.
This guy must have left quietly on purpose.
no.
I can't be sorry to my wife.
I have to go see Lao Ding quickly and ask him not to make any mistakes.
Lin Beichen instantly felt a strong sense of mission and responsibility.
at this time--
"By the way, I've already found out for you. This afternoon, Master Shen Xiaoyan of the Zhujian Pavilion will show up to meet friends at the Seven Star Jujian Restaurant in the city to complete a game that was unfinished three years ago. This is a person who can talk to him. When it comes to asking for the sword, we can go there in advance and look for opportunities to get close to Master Shen Xiaoyan."
The junior uncle said with a genuine smile.
Eh?
By the way, I still need to ask for a sword. I’m also very busy.
As for the master...
I still believe in Master's integrity and will not act recklessly behind Master's wife's back.
The sense of mission and responsibility in someone's heart disappeared instantly, and they decided that it was better to get the sword first.
"Listen to what you have to say, little uncle..."
Lin Beichen asked curiously: "Is it so difficult to meet Master Shen Xiaoyan? Do you have to go and reserve a seat in advance?"
"Not only is it difficult, it is simply harder than reaching the sky."
The young master's uncle smiled very beautifully, with bright eyes and white teeth. He explained patiently: "Generally, people who come to him come to him to ask for a sword. They want to ask him to make a sword. If they want to ask him to make a sword, they can't use force. But this Master Shen's temper is as great as his sword-making ability. He is unique and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand him. It is extremely difficult to get him to make swords. The only way is to strike up a conversation with him and arouse his interest. , only with his approval can there be a certain chance for him to make a sword."
"So arrogant?"
Lin Beichen said: "Let's go and have a look. I don't believe in this evil."
After packing up, Lin Beichen took two young maids and set off under the guidance of his junior uncle.
Baiyun City looks much brighter during the day.
But there are few people on the street.
The shops on both sides of the street have been closed for a long time.
Domestic garbage can be seen everywhere on the streets.
Occasionally, you can see some unknown corpses soaked in water and smelly, with white maggots crawling all over the body...
There is a faint apocalyptic atmosphere in the air.
"It's all those damn outsiders who ruined a prosperous and orderly city into this state." The young uncle looked heartbroken.
"Has the city lord just sat back and ignored it for so long?"
Lin Beichen asked.
"The city lord is helpless."
The young uncle shook his head and sighed: "Furthermore, according to my observation, the city lord does not seem to have this ambition."
Talk as you walk.
Arriving at the central area of Baiyun City, there were finally people on the street.
The Seven-Star Jujian Tower is located on the west side of the conspicuous central square of the city. It is seven stories high, with red bricks and green tiles, and iron eaves hanging from the eaves. It is both beautiful and sturdy. It is extremely spectacular and can be regarded as one of the landmark buildings in Baiyun City.
The four of them came to the door of the restaurant.
"so many people?"
Lin Beichen looked towards the hall inside the building and was immediately surprised.
The square outside was deserted, but the building was overcrowded. The forty square tables in the hall on the first floor were densely packed with people of all kinds.
They all come to ask for swords.
Even before swordsmith Shen Xiaoyan arrived, the hall was already crowded with people asking for swords.
