Chapter 268

Jian and Hongjin'er on the other end asked each other, and the people nearby could hear them clearly, and they were all surprised and puzzled. Gein had traveled all the way by land, and he didn't know when he would land on the island.Asked about the red scarf, he said: "My Hamu Island is connected with the central line of the land, which is the Gudao Road that you adults just walked. Except for the road that can be walked, the place next to it is the sea." Hear the sound of the tide.

After walking like this for half an hour, the white mist gradually disappeared, and suddenly there was a city at the end of the wilderness.Although the city is in the wild, it looks like most of the land, with high archery towers and plain banners flying.When I got closer, I saw two people standing side by side on the top of the city.The one on the left wears an onyx crown and a plain dress, with a white gauze curtain on his head, knee length, extremely wide robe, overlapping gauze curtains, green jade beads hanging in front of him, his appearance is indistinguishable.The one on the right wears a leather hat, embellished with five jades, and is dressed in a Xuanzhai suit with Lin patterns. His figure is handsome and majestic, and his appearance is vaguely handsome.Even though the people in the city didn't know his face, when they saw the latter's clothes and clothes, he was dressed as a scholar of the Middle Kingdom, so they knew that this person must be Gongzi Yu.But judging by his companion's attire, it neither conforms to the Chinese official system, nor is it the attire of a married woman or wife. Not only is his identity unpredictable, but even his gender is unknown.

Everyone walked in the field, the surrounding terrain was flat and there was no shelter.Young Master Yu stood on the top of the wall, and when he saw the team approaching, he waved his sleeves in greeting.But the Sushang man was unmoved, he only left the city wall when he stood on the top of the city for a short time, and he was nowhere to be found.

When Wang Tun saw him, he said, "This man is very arrogant. He is about the same size as us. He is dressed in strange clothes. He is not like a living person."

Lou Jian heard that he was speechless, and hurriedly hissed: "Jingzhi is not talking nonsense. Look at this gentleman with his face covered with green eyes, and standing side by side with Young Master Yu, he is not comparable to ordinary people in the government. I heard that this big move, the middle The earth also sent envoys, most likely this person. The white horse and the green jade beads, these are all the rituals of the celestial masters, and I am afraid of ordinary people."

Jing Shi also echoed, "This person should be a monk."

Listening to the words of the two of them, Wang Ju looked sideways and said, "Zi Yun is not from the Taoist sect, how do you know that this person is a monk?"

Jing Shi replied: "I was born in the vicinity of Qingdu, and I have seen the appearance of a real immortal. He lives in a high place near the sea, and he must be subject to strong winds, but his face is not shaken, and his heavy clothes are not messy. If he is not a monk, he cannot be calm."

Hearing this, Wang Yu raised his head and looked again. He saw the young master Yu's clothes fluttering and his crown fluttering. He began to believe what Jing Shi said, and praised: "After all, it is Ziyun who is careful. I just took a quick look, but I didn't see it."

At that time, Taoist cultivators had a detached status in the Eastern Region and were widely respected by the people.Knowing that he is from a foreign country, Wang Tu felt a little dissatisfied.Seeing the strange appearance of the people of the Yanjiu country, but thinking that the places near the sea are strange and dangerous, the fact that young master Yu can accompany the monks will reassure everyone.

When everyone reached the bottom of the city, they saw that the city wall was made of stone bricks and surrounded by ditches and running water.The stone bricks on the walls are dark in color and densely textured, similar to rocks, covered with moss and maple vines, obviously for a long time.The city wall is nearly two feet high. Although the layout is far inferior to the capital city, it is unique in this remote place, which is daunting.Only the city gate is very interesting, although it is very spacious, it is much shorter than usual, only a few heads higher than the crowd, straight like a bridge hole.

At this time the gate of the city has been opened, and when people pass through the bridge, they can see the densely packed roads in the city, and many figures have already stood there, all of them have rough faces and hairy heads, their bodies are not as tall as ordinary people's waists and stomachs, or they are wearing cloth and scarves, or they are carrying baskets with hairpins and flowers. His dress is salty like Lu Zhong.At this moment, seeing all the people entering the city, they are all pointing at the side of the road, very excited.

Even though everyone had seen the appearance of the Yanjiu people before, they couldn't help but be amazed to see the crowds in the city.The houses on the street are mainly made of bricks and stones. Although the doors and windows are short, the walls are tall and wide, but they are close to the inland, which looks very awkward.

While watching from the sidelines, I heard the sound of golden gongs in the distance, and a long procession appeared.All the people listed in the team are fluke men, wearing white robes, wicker hats, and black boots, and their uniforms are similar to those in the inland areas.The leader has a wrinkled face and lean body, leaning on a bamboo stick in his hand, with pure white beard and hair. A thin whip is woven under his jaw and tied with a jade hoop.Judging by his dress and demeanor, he is obviously a leader.

Sure enough, when the red scarf saw the white-bearded man, he immediately said loudly: "The high priest has arrived, my lords, please come forward."

Although the living beings have heard the words, they don't know the truth, and no one dares to move for a while.While hesitating, someone behind said: "Everyone, don't worry, this place is the examination room, and everything has been arranged."

Everyone looked back and saw a group of people dressed in black and black official uniforms, or holding wats and holding bamboo slips, or holding banners and holding battles, approaching.The leader is the young master Yu, who is side by side with the white-clothed man, and the second is the sergeant of his mansion.Immediately avoiding the two sides, Ren Gongzi Yu crossed the street and walked in front of the Yanjiu man.

Young master Yu got off his horse and supported the crown, and bowed himself in salute.The white-bearded man also stepped forward in two steps, held his staff high with both hands above his head, and bowed tremblingly in return.Although he was like a child, he seemed to be very old, once he took off the support of the bamboo stick, his body swayed and he was about to fall at any moment, but fortunately two white robed attendants beside him helped him, and he just finished the ceremony.After returning the salute, he propped himself up on the ground with his stick, and uttered a strange sound at the mouth of Young Master Yu. The sound was chirping, whining, extremely thin, just like a monkey crying and ape crying. Judging from his expression and movements, he did not make random noises, but a kind of sound. A native language that no one can understand.

The man in green and plain clothes stood side by side with Young Master Yu, and when the white-bearded man spoke, he leaned towards Young Master Yu.He was originally a head shorter than Young Master Yu, but now he raised his head slightly, and turned his head slightly, as if whispering to Young Master Yu.It's just that everyone can neither see his face nor hear his voice, so it's hard to know what he said.

After the white-bearded man spoke some dialect, he stopped where he was and looked at Young Master Yu, as if waiting for his answer.Young Master Yu waited for the plain-clothed man to finish whispering, and then replied: "Thank you so much, High Priest. Since there is still time today, you might as well do the sea sacrifice first, and start the grand ceremony tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, the white-bearded man bowed again and returned to the team.Young Master Yu also turned around and said to the crowd: "Jianluo will go to the sea sacrifice ceremony today, gentlemen, please follow me to watch."

When everyone came to a foreign land for the first time, they didn't know what he meant by the sea sacrifice, but with the current situation, they could only nod in agreement.At present, the team of Yanji people led the way, the son Yu and the Sushang people led a group of officials to walk in the middle, and all the scholars and sergeants followed.A long dragon passed through the city and across the street, mighty and mighty, and went straight to the inner city.As far as the eye can see along the way, all the people coming and going are people from the country, and there are also sedan chairs and trucks, but no cattle, horses or livestock. It seems that the people here are short in stature and difficult to drive.Occasionally passing through the bustling places in the city, you can see all kinds of utensils, pots, bowls, bottles and cans, all of which are smaller than usual, and most of the food products are fresh fish, melons and fruits.Its shape is so strange that it is very different from the inland products. It is difficult for people to distinguish it carefully for a while.

Just when the people coming were dazzled, the street ahead was suddenly empty.Not only are there no pedestrians, but there are no buildings. There are only mud paths under your feet, surrounded by green bamboos and trees, and there are streams and springs gushing from time to time, as if you are in the mountains. , the city gate, it seems that the city was only half built.I want to see the situation in the distance, but it is covered by the bamboo forest, only a frost-white stone wall is faintly exposed in front of it, the top line is straight and neat, it does not look like a mountain, and I don't know where it is.

Jing Shi followed in the team, looking around the bamboo forest.Just as he was fascinated, Zhang Duan suddenly walked a few steps behind him, rushed to his side and asked, "What do Ziyun think of this place?"

She spoke so softly that only two people could hear her clearly.Jing Shi knew that she had doubts in her heart, so he said: "It looks like a formation, but I haven't seen the whole picture, so I dare not say it."

Zhang Duan nodded and said: "I think so too. There are many mountains near the sea here, which can be used by Fengshui, but it is really confusing to build this place in the city."

Both of them understand metaphysics, and they have a tacit understanding with each other, they only discussed a few words, and then separated, so as not to attract the attention of others.After Jing Shi looked around, he looked at the young master Yu in front of him, and saw that most of the officials accompanying him were young and strong, which was not surprising.But the man in plain clothes was indifferent at first, but now he looks back frequently, not knowing what to see.The strange behavior of this person happened repeatedly, which attracted Wang Yu to notice, and he tore up the thorn stone and the building slips and said: "Look at that Taoist, but he is looking at us?"
