Yecheng is the closest town to Chongming Mountain. All the people who come to participate in the flower folding meeting will be arranged by the host to live in the city.
'Three schools in one mountain, two temples in Buddhism' take turns to be the host, and this year it is the turn of the Qinglu Sword School.
Originally, the Qinglu Sword Sect was located in the southern land, and it was always connected with Yecheng's City Lord's Mansion, so it was very handy to do a lot of things.
Regarding the preparations for this flower folding meeting, it was even more effort.
Not only to demonstrate the heritage and prestige of the sect, but also because if nothing else, the pride of their sect, Feng Yujian Zhongshan, will win the championship at this grand event.
The accommodation for the disciples of all sects, the protective formation at the foot of Chongming Mountain, and the maintenance and repair of the mountain road were arranged as early as half a year ago.
Although the three Yin Biyue arrived a month early, the courtyard prepared for the Cangya Mountain disciples by the Qiushui Lake had already been tidied up.
After Luo Mingchuan was brought by Song Tang to the residence in the city, he came to the gate of the city to wait for Yin Biyue and Duan Chongxuan.
Yecheng has been built for a long time, and it can be traced back to Yezhen in the 'era of the end of the law'. Because of its convenient geographical location and transportation conditions, it was one of the largest cities in the northwestern part of the South China continent a thousand years ago.
Later, there was a flower folding club, which prospered and expanded rapidly. Today, there are eight large gates in the city wall, and tens of thousands of people come and go every day.
When the three of them entered the city, it was already at the hour, and they were catching up with the city's garrison guards to change their shifts.
This first heroic city in the western part of the Southern Continent finally showed its style.
Teams of soldiers walked hurriedly and neatly through the city, their thick black armor reflecting brightly, and a long black sheathed sword around their waists. His expression was solemn and solemn.
The people in the city are all indifferent.
The old man at the roadside wonton stall is still selling, the jugglers on the overpass are still shouting, and the children on the street are still chasing and beating with wooden swords and candied gourds.
The suffocating spirit of the city guards has wonderfully merged into this vibrant city.
Yin Biyue was puzzled, "What do the city guards here do?"
Isn't it used to maintain a clean and solemn image in the city? Why are the street vendors not afraid of them at all
The three of them were walking on the wide street. Duan Chongxuan was blowing a folding fan and looked at the girl who waved his handkerchief on the small building with interest, "Yecheng's city guards, hard work. Not to mention such a hot day. When you walk around the streets in tight clothes, you must go up to maintain order when you encounter cultivators who are fighting and fighting, and ask them to fight in another place, so as not to hurt the children and flowers and plants on the street. If you meet a strong man who is making trouble in the city, you must open the ground. The passage of the city, let women, the elderly, and ordinary people go down to take refuge first... Even if you meet an old woman who is carrying a heavy load, she has to go up to help others carry things! Do you think it is miserable?"
Luo Mingchuan smiled, and then explained to Yin Biyue, "The street we are walking on now is Yecheng's main street, and there is a lot of people. If we ride on horses, these city guards in black armor will go up. Before reminding us to dismount, so as not to collide with pedestrians and traders. They are solemn and cold, just to show the city's prestige and deter the practitioners from outside Yecheng, don't be domineering here."
Duan Chongxuan said with a smile, "Although the errand is a bit hard, but the salary is very high, and he is loved by the people of Yecheng, and the City Lord's Mansion is the backer. Here, whose son passed the assessment and was selected into the City Guard Team is a good thing that honors the ancestors. In this case, it is estimated that there is only one Ye Cheng in the entire southern land."
Yin Biyue was filled with emotion.
Ordinary people and practitioners, wine and swords, merchants and soldiers and black armored guards.
In this city, harmony is united.
Then he suddenly thought that the origin of all this was because the city lord of Yecheng was a strong man in the Mahayana realm.
Strong enough to set his own rules, few people in the entire Nanlu dare to cause trouble and provocation in his city.
Strong enough to shelter one side.
He suddenly admired the city lord.
At this time, Yin Biyue didn't realize that he would have this emotion because subconsciously, he already had something he wanted to protect in his heart.
Maybe it's Xi Huafeng, who is a vast cloud of smoke, maybe it's his sincere and protective classmate, maybe it's the majestic Cangya Mountain, or maybe it's the disciples on the mountain who waved their swords for him to bid farewell.
This is an emotion that violates the villain's code, but Yin Biyue doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
The sky will be dark, the afterglow will fade away the light, and the lights in the city can't wait to light up.
The red lanterns on the eaves of the high gate house, the lanterns painted with gold and powder in the charming karaoke house, and the warm yellow lights in the street wine shops, through the door curtains, mixed with the fragrance of wine and laughter.
After the night falls, the night city becomes more and more noisy, the tide of lights is like a sea, and the flow of people is like weaving.
The three gradually walked out of the main street in the center of the city, leaving the lights, silk and bamboo, prosperity and noise behind them.
The farther south of the city, the quieter the night, in the lanes and streets of the bluestone long street, black and white light and shadow interlace, occasionally revealing the plaques and stone carvings of auspicious beasts in the deep courtyard.
After passing the residences of noble people in the south of the city, there is Qiushui Lake.
There is no more light in the world. The brilliance of the stars sprinkled down, and the lake surface was sparkling. Quiet but not lonely.
The newly built courtyards by the lake are silent in the night, blending with the night.
They will be living here for a month and a half during the future flower-folding fair.
The three of them stood by the lake, and the night wind blew their faces, which made people feel refreshed.
Luo Mingchuan said, "Including us, thirty people came this time, and there are ten yards in total, that is, three or four people share one."
Before Yin Biyue could react, Duan Chongxuan said, "Okay, let's live in one."
Seeing that Yin Biyue didn't speak, Luo Mingchuan seemed to acquiesce to this arrangement, so he couldn't help but sighed and relaxed, "Let's go then."
The three walked towards the nearest courtyard in Linhu in a tacit understanding, leaving the largest courtyard in the north to the elder Xi Pingfeng who led the team this time.
"There used to be servants to watch the house and sweep. But now only the three of us are here, and I don't need it, so I'll send it back."
"There are too many people, but it's messy. That's good, Fourth Senior Brother, what do you think?"
Yin Biyue nodded silently. He was just thinking that this geographical location is very suitable for practicing Cold Water Sword.
The newly built yard half a year ago was clean and tidy, and there was a magnolia tree planted in the courtyard. It is the flowering season, and the white flowers hidden in the green leaves add a bit of beauty to the small courtyard.
The yard is not big, and the four rooms are not divided into main and auxiliary. Yin Biyue chose a room at random. The sapphire case and the quicksand tent were neither magnificent nor shabby, which made him very satisfied.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the next door, and Yin Biyue was suddenly shocked. Next door was a chattering room!
He ran out with his sword in hand and broke in directly!
Then I saw... Chatter was moving furniture.
The quicksand tent wooden bed has been replaced by his own red sandalwood carved shark gauze tent. The table case has become a long table with a lotus-patterned screw tin with beaded feet.
As for the loud noise just now, it was the sound of a huanghuali treasure embedded in a large cabinet falling to the ground.
There are no rare and precious treasures in the whole room, only the snails, pearls, gold, silver, and precious stones embedded in the furniture give off a scorching splendor.
Yin Biyue simply doubted that this guy could move out of a palace!
Talking to him, he quickly understood and apologized, "Fourth Senior Brother, I've disturbed you."
Yin Biyue shook her head, "No... I thought something happened to you."
Duan Hualao laughed very happily, "Senior brother, you came just in time! I was going to find you!"
Then he lowered his voice slightly, "Yecheng's Yun Xiang, Miss Rongyun, who plays the pipa well and is the most famous in Nanlu, tonight in the Golden Wind and Yulu Building..."
Yin Biyue understood instantly! Duan Talking is inviting him to go shopping! flower! building! !
Go up the stairs at night, with lanterns and water sleeves, beautiful women with silk and bamboo.
Life is incomplete without visiting Hualou!
Thinking about it is a little... a little excited.
Yin Biyue didn't want to do something, but in his past life experience, there was no such thing. Unknown things are always attractive, not to mention, when the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, running to the flower building with lights and colorful lights is very exciting to think about.
He was about to nod his head when he saw Duan Hualao on the opposite side suddenly look solemn, "The opposite of Jinfeng Yulu Building is Taihe Building. In the evening, Mr. Storyteller came on stage, and the stories he told were fascinating and applauded. It's really worth a visit. What do you think, Fourth Senior Brother?"
Yin Biyue was shocked!
He was deeply ashamed of his vulgarity and eloquence!
At this time, he turned around following the chatter's gaze, and saw Luo Mingchuan standing at the door, smiling lightly, looking like a gentleman, "So the two junior brothers are going to hear the book."
Duan Hualao nodded again and again, "Exactly, do you want to go with Brother Luo?"
Yin Biyue felt even more ashamed.
