Linyue Tower is a famous landscape in the Zhu Kingdom. It is located on the bank of Zuiyue Lake and built against the lake. It has seven floors and is more than nine feet high. The structure is extremely ingenious. From the top floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Zuiyue Lake, which is refreshing and refreshing. There are also calligraphy treasures left by various well-known literati in the building, among which the poem "Ascending the Immortal on the Moon" is the most outstanding. It is the treasure of the building, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see it.
This Zuiyue Lake is misty and vast, with endless reeds and abundant aquatic products. Not only is the scenery intoxicating, it also feeds a lot of people nearby. The Zuiyue Whitebait produced in it is one of a kind. The signature dish is made with the most delicious parts of 7,749 whitebait, carefully prepared. It is so delicious that it is said that those who taste it will feel like they are in a fairyland, and they will not know the taste of other meat in March.
At this time, in the private room, Fang Yuan was sitting with a golden knife, a white jade pot in front of him, the aroma of wine overflowing, and rich dishes. The middle one was Linyuelou's signature dish - Qizhen Drunken Fish and Fillet It's as thin as a cicada's wing, crystal clear, and has a mellow aroma of wine. It's really refreshing.
"Hmm... Not bad, it's really good!"
Fang Yuan picked up another piece of fish with chopsticks and threw a small piece of gold to the maid serving next to him: "It goes without saying that the fish is fresh and tender, but the key point is the drunken fish wine. It is not something that was added day after tomorrow, but is somewhat natural. , the taste that is one with fish is the most rare... "
"Young master is indeed an expert!"
Hearing Fang Yuan's praise, the maid next to her was blessed. She put the gold away without leaving a trace, with joy in her eyes: "This is a top-grade drunken silverbait. It is born with the aroma of wine, even in Zuiyue Lake." It’s also very rare!”
"Drunken silverbait?"
Fang Yuan smiled and his eyes flashed slightly: "Is it possible that Yu'er can still drink?"
"Well... I'm afraid that's the case. Is it possible that the young master is here for the Zuiyue Festival?" The maid was startled.
"Drunken Moon Festival?"
Fang Yuan drank and ate in a leisurely manner: "Tell me about it!"
"yes!"
The maid looked a little surprised, but she explained carefully.
It turns out that Zuiyue Lake has several days every year. When the moon is at its peak, the lake will exude the unknown fragrance of wine, faintly present or faint, blending with the moonlight, creating a wonderful spectacle. This is exactly what Zuiyue Lake is. The origin of the name.
And whenever this happens, the lake will produce some good things, such as the best drunk silverbait and even other spiritual things!
This naturally attracted many literati, poets, and warriors to come to explore the secrets, go to the market, trade, and exchange what they had, and finally formed a specific festival.
"oh?"
Fang Yuan smiled: "It's better to have come early than to come by chance. It's fate that I caught up by chance!"
"Of course! Young Master is a lucky person to begin with!"
The maid pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't really believe it in her heart.
Linyue Tower is not a place where just anyone can come. Although this young master looks strange and has a mysterious origin, the worshipers in the building were shocked at the sight of him and ordered them to be treated carefully and not to violate any rules. How could he be an ordinary person
Not to mention, with such an elegant temperament and bold actions.
She was already guessing in her mind which young master from a wealthy family this was.
Fang Yuan picked up the wine cup, blew the breeze, and looked at the beautiful scenery below, but he kept thinking in his heart: "Unexpectedly... the place pointed to by the treasure map has turned into a scenic spot. That person's behavior is very extraordinary." Unexpectedly... However, to be able to hide it under the eyes of everyone so far, the arrangement may not be that simple. There happens to be a market, but Bufan will delay for a day and then go into the lake to explore... "
…
Since this Drunken Moon Festival is well-known in the Zhu Kingdom, there are naturally clues about it a few days ago.
From Fang Yuan's perspective, the density of people nearby had suddenly increased, and there were many more sword-wielding warriors with sharp eyes and powerful auras, making people unconsciously avoid them when walking on the road.
At night, the moon is hanging high, and the smoke is vast above the lake.
In the silvery silence, several faint fires appeared on the lakeside, pale green as green, and very eerie and penetrating.
Then the ghost fire continued to increase, cattle and horses gathered, and cloth tents were erected, vaguely forming the appearance of a market. To the uninformed civilians, it looked like a group of demons dancing wildly, like a gathering of ghosts.
In fact, this gathering is really called a ghost gathering.
Although from Fang Yuan's point of view, it was just a gathering of the cultivation community, it was just a show of mystery and he didn't want to be harassed by the common people.
"It's an annual black market, so you can take a look and see what novelties there are!"
Since it was done so secretly, most of the people who came were sneaky, so Fang Yuan wore a bamboo hat from Daliudi to cover most of his face.
Regardless of the origin of this kind of black market, there are indeed some good things coming out.
Of course, there is no guarantee of what you will encounter after you leave the ghost market. Whether you buy fake goods, receive stolen goods, or get into a blood feud, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
"Is this your first time here?"
At the entrance of the ghost market, several men in black with strong auras were guarding the door. When they saw Fang Yuan arriving, they stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
"Exactly...I wonder if there are any rules here?"
Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, and wisps of light emitted, which actually made these men in black feel a chill behind them.
"Where... It's just some agreed-upon things, I just want to remind you!"
The leader of the man in black immediately changed his smile: "In the ghost market, gold and silver are also accepted for bartering, but bills are not accepted. Also, once the transaction is completed, the money and goods cannot be returned. Of course, , the most important thing is not to use force in the ghost city, otherwise we will attack together!"
"Um."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and entered the market directly.
"Brother..."
Seeing how rude he was, a man in black next to him immediately stepped forward and asked behind the leader.
"Don't think about anything, are you tired of living a crooked life?"
However, the leader of the men in black had stern eyes and scolded directly: "We were elected by each family to guard the gates because we are selfless, but we do too many small tricks, and the gains outweigh the losses! And... "
He looked towards the direction Fang Yuan left, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Although the voice of the other party is young, who knows if it is an old monster pretending to be someone else. If he really offends a Yuanli realm master who is famous in the game, no one will stand up for him.
…
Of course the leader didn't know that, because he was cautious, he saved a small life.
At this time, Fang Yuan was looking around in the market, with a bit of surprise on his face.
"As expected of the black market, the probability of finding high-quality products is very high, and the prices are cheap, but I'm afraid the origins are unclear..."
After just visiting a few stalls, Fang Yuan bought several rare spiritual species according to his wishes.
He doesn't have much interest in anything else.
After all, with his current vision and the majesty of Lord Youshan, there are really very few things that can catch his eye.
"Everyone, Zuiyue Lake is about to open, and spiritual creatures are proliferating. This is the best opportunity to try your luck. Why don't you get a waterway map?"
Ahead, a burst of noise came, like thunder on the ground.
In the whispering ghost market, it is even more eye-catching.
Fang Yuan took two steps forward and saw a cloaked man sitting on the roadside with a stall in front of him. There were only three maps on it.
"This Drunken Moon Water Movement Chart took me decades to figure out. I only sell three copies for a thousand taels of silver or equivalent each!"
The man in the cloak has a very loud voice.
"The catalog is beautiful, but I don't know if it's true or not... Otherwise, one thousand taels is really not expensive!"
An onlooker next to him stepped forward to take a look, then shook his head: "Can you see the whole picture?"
"Of course not!"
The cloaked man refused: "Only by paying the price can you see the complete catalog, and I can also swear here that only these three maps will enter the market this year in the ghost market!"
"Huh? He's quite a smart man!"
Fang Yuan stepped forward and saw that the maps were just fragments, with many areas covered up, but they were beautifully made, with dense rulers and notes on them, and they looked like they had been carefully crafted.
However, again, the possibility of fraud is too high. If you buy it, it will be too late to regret it.
Moreover, who can really believe this cloaked man's promise? After all, if you make a few more copies of this map and sell it, it will cost you nothing.
"It's a pity... If it's one hundred taels of silver, I'll take a gamble!"
One of the onlookers shouted.
"I, Jiang... handle things by myself, so I'm very honest. If you say it's three copies, it's three copies!"
The cloaked man was furious and spoke louder.
"Haha... In that case, I will give you some face!"
At this time, the crowd moved away, and a man in black with an old voice came in: "These are the best drunk beads, each worth a hundred taels! Ten of them, how about I exchange them for my map?"
"Naturally I agree!"
The cloaked man clasped his fists, collected the pearls from the old man, and presented the map with both hands.
"It can't be a fraud. The two of them conspired to deceive us, right?"
Seeing the enemy appear, the people present were hesitant at first, and then became a little uncertain, for fear of encountering a liar.
In this ghost market, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, so naturally everyone is there.
But Fang Yuan had a different view.
"These two people knew each other, but it was the man in the cloak who sold the map in anger who exposed his flaw, and then they were discovered! Judging from the reaction of the old man who bought the map, it seems that he is still somewhat famous... Although everyone on the left and right He is just a warrior at the level of the Four Heavenly Gates..."
Feeling somewhat confident about the authenticity of the map, Fang Yuan immediately stepped forward and looked at it carefully.
Under this sweep, the corners of his eyes twitched.
Because some of the fragmentary pictures revealed seemed to have subtle overlaps with the treasure map on his body!
"After all, Zuiyue Lake is very big. It would be too troublesome to search one by one. Now I actually found the clue directly. I really feel like I'm getting sleepy and I'm giving you a pillow!"
As soon as he thought this, Fang Yuan immediately entered the scene, rolled up a map and put it away.
"This friend..."
The cloaked man was furious, but immediately the hair on his body stood up, as if he was facing some prehistoric beast.
"Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you!"
Fang Yuan hoarsely threw a jade bottle over at random.
"This is... a magic pill?"
After the cloaked man fell out, his eyes widened and he screamed, causing an uproar in the whole place.
