The Nanyue Plain is one of the territories of the Tiansha Sect. It is rich in water veins, so rivers and lakes are everywhere. Among these many rivers, the Bailang River is the largest and longest main stream that runs through the entire plain, giving rise to countless large rivers.
Large and small water system branches.
There is a branch named Luoying River. Not only does this river have a particularly quiet flow, but tall pink cherry trees grow on both sides of the river. Coupled with the bluestone dam, it is full of a strong water town charm, like a fairyland on earth. The famous Sanhuabaofang City is located in the middle of the Luoying River.
He originally thought that to sneak into the depths of Tiansha Sect's territory, he would go to a remote and uninhabited wilderness. What Sun Huo didn't expect was that after flying for a long time after leaving the nameless valley, Mu Xin took him in a swaggering way.
Enter this city.
As people walk slowly on the street, you can see small bridges and flowing water everywhere, and tall cherry blossoms with green trees. Each of its flowers is as big as a baby's fist, with red stamens in full bloom. From time to time, petals fall into the water.
Attract fish to compete for food.
The buildings on both sides of the street are various shops, as well as some places similar to inns and restaurants. The appearance of each one is either rich and gorgeous, or elegant and quiet.
Even the monks walking in and out of these buildings mostly do so in a leisurely manner, rarely in a hurry.
Such a peaceful and leisurely scene made Sun Huo wonder if he had accidentally fallen asleep and dreamed. This was completely different from the dark, gloomy and evil-filled Mo Daofang City he had expected in his mind, and in terms of scenery alone, Lianluo Fang City
The markets in Yunzong are also incomparable.
In addition, most of the monks who hang out here are dressed in rich and elegant clothes and look like scholars. In comparison, the attires of Mu Xin and others seem quite shabby. After walking for a while, I noticed
The difference between such a person and me made Sun Huo feel a little uncomfortable, but Mu Xin turned a blind eye to it and remained calm.
After the two of them walked for a while and passed through several streets, they could see a large number of pavilions and pavilions with carved railings and jade in the distance.
Sun Huo looked at the pavilions and pavilions from a distance, his eyes narrowed slightly as he wondered where they were.
At this moment, Mu Xin suddenly stopped at a fork in the street, turned around and sent a message to Sun Huo:
"Let's separate here temporarily. I'm going to inquire and collect some information that may be useful. You can't help me much, so just walk around by yourself first, and then meet at the southern fort gate at sunrise tomorrow."
When Sun Huo heard this, he felt very unhappy. In his opinion, this was obviously because Mu Xin disliked him as a burden and abandoned him so openly.
"But remember, that place is the most dangerous place for a fierce man like you, so don't get close there." Before Sun Huo could object, Mu Xin raised his finger and pointed at the prominent pavilions in the distance.
, added another sentence. Then he walked quickly to the street on the right without hesitation.
Sun Huo sighed lightly, and could only turn around silently and step onto the road on the left.
At the same time, the woman in red who had been following the two of them appeared in an unusually exquisite hall. She stood respectfully at Mrs. Xiang's crotch and was presenting a jade slip to her.
Half a day later, Sun Huo came to a restaurant and ordered the signature specialty of this place, the fallen carp and the aged cherry blossom wine.
Because he was out on a mission, Sun Huo was not prepared in advance and had no intention of looking for items to buy at this time, so he just visited a dozen stores and bought two or three kinds of materials before giving up.
However, in addition to many of the items sold in shops in Mo Daofang City being the same as those sold in normal shops, there are also many similar items that contain spiritual energy replaced by yin energy and demonic energy.
This again aroused the inexplicable desire in Sun Huo's heart, which was ready to act, making him very uncomfortable with the close contact. Therefore, Sun Huo did not dare to stay in the shop here because he didn't know if it would happen to him after a long time.
What an unexpected turn of events.
Tasting the plump Luoying carp, drinking cherry blossoms, looking out the window to enjoy the falling cherry blossoms outside, and the peaceful scenery of the water town where fish compete for food, Sun Huo had the illusion that such a life was so comfortable and enjoyable.
Love forgets worries, whether it is for a mortal or a monk. If it were not because he was abandoned by Mu Xin and was alone, and he was in his sect's territory, he could still enjoy it quietly.
When he was raising his glass and drinking the wine in it, two young monks walked in from the stairway, dressed as elegant Confucian scholars, with excited faces, whispering and walking slowly. Soon they were seated at another table not far from Sun Huo, and ordered a few signature dishes, chatting while eating.
Sun Huo, who was bored, became interested in this on a whim, and immediately listened to their chat.
"Have you heard? There will be a treasure competition tonight at Baique Pavilion."
"How come you haven't heard of it? The news about this conference has been released a month ago. Not only will there be many elixirs and spiritual materials for sale at the conference, but it is also said that Bai Que Pavilion's most beautiful lady, Phantom Fairy, will appear to add to the fun.
I don’t know if it’s true or not?”
"I wonder why there have been so many monks here recently. Their feelings are all because of this conference and her."
"Go, what do you know? These women in Baique Pavilion are not ordinary coquettish people. If you get one of them to accompany you, you will know what it means to be elegant and beautiful. It is hard to find a true friend. And this Phantom Fairy is the best among them.
, listening to a piece of music will make you feel as if you have lived a lifetime away, and watching a piece of dancing will be astonishing and captivating, which is something you can’t see easily.”
"No, after all, I'm just a girl from a brothel. To be praised like this by you, I wonder if you have never seen a woman before."
"Huh, you're just saying that because you haven't seen it before. I was extremely lucky to see it once. It's really beyond description in words."
Hearing that the two of them had been talking about this Phantom Fairy without mentioning any more information about the treasure competition, Sun Huo withdrew his attention without interest.
He was quite surprised by the news that Baique Pavilion held a treasure competition, and he was also a little excited. After all, even if you can't buy what you want at such an auction, you can still broaden your horizons and gain insights. p>
The problem is that Baque Pavilion is exactly the place that Mu Xin warned not to approach before leaving, so Sun Huo is quite confused. Moreover, when he asked the shopkeepers or servants of other shops where this place was, he was also treated poorly.
Idiot-like eyes.
Hesitantly taking the last sip of cherry blossom wine, Sun Huo put down a large piece of broken silver and stood up to leave. He decided to go to Baique Pavilion to observe before considering whether to risk going in.
An hour later, Sun Huo stood under a cherry tree at the intersection of the street, looking at the Pavilion of Hundred Birds from a distance, feeling some strange and inexplicable feeling in his heart.
The rows of pavilions were deep and exquisite, and the pink tents among them were vaguely visible through the open windows. Even though they were hundreds of feet away, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance escaping from the Pavilion. Although a person is not in it, he has the illusion of being in it, feeling the warm fragrance of soft jade and the singing and singing of birds.
After looking briefly for a while, Sun Huo withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and suppressed the restless restlessness in his heart. At this time, he felt that what Mu Xin said was true, and this place was indeed not suitable for him. p>
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned his eyes and seemed to suddenly see Mu Xin's figure among the guests entering the Baque Pavilion. But when he wanted to take a closer look, the suspicious figure had already entered the building.
Can't see clearly.
Regardless of whether Mu Xin was pretending to be a public servant or risking his own life, Sun Huo could no longer stand by and watch. He had no reason to let his partner leave him and sneak in alone.
Silently moving his mind to calm his thoughts, Sun Huo walked towards the flower-filled gate of Baique Pavilion without thinking.
As soon as he arrived at the door, two servants in bright clothes came up to him and looked at Sun Huo.
Generally, the monks who visit Baique Pavilion will be well-dressed and well-dressed. Occasionally, such unkempt strangers will come. Before they find out the net worth of the visitor, it is not easy for them to just ask the person to leave.
"Sir, do you want to participate in tonight's treasure competition, or do you want to have a heart-to-heart talk with an upright official?" One of them asked very politely, seeing that Sun Huo was a young man with no beard. As Sun Huo's thoughts turned around, his tone turned cold and he responded: "I have come all the way to participate in the treasure competition, why don't you invite me in? Is this how Baique Pavilion neglects people?"
"Back to the young master, the visitor is a guest, and Baique Pavilion dare not be rude. It's just that the pavilion is narrow and cramped, and in order to prevent some people from occupying the space in vain, it is impossible to entertain all the friends who come to cheer, so if
If you want to participate in the treasure competition, you need to pay the admission fee of thirty yuan of low-level spiritual stones." Another servant came forward and cupped his hands, explaining to Sun Huo calmly.
Sun Huo's face twitched, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his ears.
Thirty spirit stones are enough to buy an ordinary low-level magic weapon. Even if Sun Huo only recycles low-level magic weapons at this time, he would not be able to earn this reward even if he worked hard for a whole day. Now people
You can get it in your pocket with just one mouthful.
This request once again refreshed Sun Huo's understanding. This place was clearly the Golden Grotto. He raised his head and glanced at the magnificent plaque above, which felt particularly dazzling.
After silently reaching into his arms for a while, Sun Huo took out a small cloth bag and threw it away with great pain in his heart. At the same time, he unconsciously came up with the thought: "Will Wu Yun reimburse me for this when I go back?"
Cost?"
The taller servant took it, opened the bag and glanced briefly, then winked at the other person.
"Sir, please follow me." The two of them, with smiles on their faces, moved to the left and right to open the way, no longer blocking the way, their backs were arched and they raised their hands in a gesture of invitation.
Rolling his eyes, Sun Huo flicked his long sleeves and stepped onto the steps. He was both curious and wary of the world behind the door and this treasure competition.
