Jun Youyun

Chapter 269
Gold Wind.It was almost dusk.The longboat is slowly approaching the shore.

Su Baiyi looked at the lanterns lit one after another on the bank, sniffed his nose, and smelled the long-lost aroma of cooking smoke. He said with emotion: "This city is Qianxun City?"

"Yes. Qian Xun Qian Xun, thousands of miles to find her, suddenly look back. It is a particularly beautiful city. I like it very much." Mu Nianhua's smile was a bit malicious.

"Your smile seems to reveal something." Su Baiyi said with some disgust.

"This is it." Mu Nianhua suddenly said without thinking.

"Okay." Su Baiyi understood and nodded.

When the longboat docked, the whole hull trembled violently.

Su Baiyi walked into the cabin and came to the Yaowang Pavilion. Nangong Xi'er seemed to have just been awakened by the shaking just now, and she was rubbing her temples with her hands.

"Senior Sister, we've landed." Su Baiyi said.

"So fast?" Nangong Xi'er was taken aback.

"It's just a stop on the way, and we haven't reached the end of the trip yet." Su Baiyi replied, "Sister, let's go down and have a look around, I feel like I'm going to get moldy after staying on the boat."

"Okay." Nangong Xi'er got up and sat down, picked up the Beloved Sword, and followed Su Baiyi out of the cabin.

Su Jian was sitting on the bow of the boat blowing the wind, Su Baiyi pretended to greet calmly: "Senior, let's get off the boat and have a drink together?"

"I won't go. I don't like Qianxun City." Su Jian said lightly.

"Then I'll come back and bring senior a jug of good wine." Su Baiyi cupped his fists and said, he led Nangong Xi'er and followed Mu Nianhua off the boat.

"Qianxun City is located in the north, but it is very similar to the city in the south. It is very gentle. When the thousand lanterns in the city are lit at night, the gentleness is even more charming. Of course, the most gentle is the city. Girl, let's talk about the Guifeng Tower..." Mu Nianhua waved his folding fan, his eyebrows and eyes raised.

"Ahem." Su Baiyi coughed lightly.

Mu Nianhua immediately changed the subject: "There is also a Taoist temple in Qianxun City that is only open at night. The Taoist temple is beside a stream in the south of the city. In the Taoist temple, you can ring the bell to ask for a lottery. A blank sheet of paper."

"Blank paper? Why is it a blank paper?" Nangong Xi'er asked curiously.

"Don't worry, after getting the lottery, walk out of the Taoist temple, come to the small stream, put the lottery paper in the stream, wash it gently, and when you take it out again, look at it by the moonlight, The signature on it was slowly revealed." Mu Nianhua explained.

"Somewhat interesting." Nangong Xi'er smiled.

"No rush, no rush." ​​Mu Nianhua led them into a restaurant, "Let's eat some delicious food first." Perhaps because he stayed at sea for too long, Mu Nianhua ordered a table full of food in one go. There are all kinds of dishes, delicacies from mountains and seas, but Mu Nianhua only eats one dish.

"I'm envious." Su Baiyi said with emotion, "This table of wine and food is probably equivalent to what I spent with my master in Xinghua Village for a year."

"Your master was the young master of the Xie family back then, did he suffer so much?" Mu Nianhua took a sip of his wine.

Su Baiyi smiled and said, "I'm the one who buys and cooks, so I should suffer more..."

"Hahahahaha." Mu Nianhua put down his chopsticks, "I'm full. I'm going to Guifenglou, where are you two?"

"What's the name of that Taoist temple?" Nangong Xi'er asked.

"South of the city, Lishui Temple." Mu Nianhua strode out, waving his fan.

"Go and have a look." Nangong Xi'er said lightly.

"Okay, senior sister!" Su Baiyi immediately got up to hold the sword for senior sister.

Qianxun City is not considered a big city, the two of them arrived at the legendary Lishui Temple not long after walking.The whole Lishui Temple is painted with red paint, which looks a bit exquisite and gorgeous. Most of the people who come in and out are young men and women, and most of them are in pairs.Su Baiyi suddenly felt an ominous premonition, but Nangong Xi'er had already walked into the temple.

The inside of Lishui Temple is not big. On the left side is a place to ask for a lottery. There is a stream flowing below. Some young men and women who got a lottery bent over there to rinse the unsigned papers. It doesn't look like what Mu Nianhua said. Generally, you have to go outside the Taoist temple.On the right side, there is an unnamed deity enshrined, with red ribbons hanging on both sides, a hemp rope hanging from the middle, and a big red bell tied on it.Most of those men and women clasped their hands before the bell to pray for blessings, and then they stepped forward and grabbed the rope together, and shook the bell violently, making a crisp jingle sound.

"What kind of god is this?" Su Baiyi asked a passing scholar.

The scholar smiled and said, "This is the Peach Blossom Fairy."

"Peach Blossom Fairy?" Su Baiyi had never heard of it.

"It's the god in Qianxun City, and it's related to a love story that has been passed down in our city for a hundred years. In short, it is very effective to ask for love here." The scholar glanced at Nangong Xi'er, showing a bit of surprise in his expression, " The two of you are truly a perfect couple."

"Ask for love..." Su Baiyi scratched his head, this Mu Nianhua was really bad.

"Thank you, my lord, for clarifying the confusion." Nangong Xi'er smiled at the scholar, grabbed Su Baiyi's sleeve and came to the bell, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes.Seeing that Nangong Xi'er didn't say anything, Su Baiyi was too embarrassed to say anything, so he put his palms together and closed his eyes.

After a while, the two opened their eyes at the same time, stretched out their hands at the same time, and grabbed the rope tied with the bell.

"Ding ding ding."

The bell made a crisp sound.

"Hehehe." Nangong Xi'er looked up at the bell, laughing so hard that the flower branches trembled.

Su Baiyi looked at Nangong Xi'er and smiled, and also followed suit.

It's just that the smile of the two of them immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Taoist temple.Seeing Nangong Xi'er's smiling face, the men were all stunned.And those women were also attracted by Su Baiyi.

"Ahem, cough, both of you." An old voice interrupted their laughter.

Nangong Xi'er and Su Baiyi turned their heads at the same time, and saw a gray-haired old Taoist priest sitting in a corner, beside the old Taoist priest was a small table with a lot of sticks, behind it was a wooden cabinet with many small drawers , The old Taoist smiled and said to them: "If you two laugh there for a while longer, I think my reputation as a glass of water will be ruined tonight."

Nangong Xi'er blushed, and hurriedly walked away from under the bell with Su Baiyi, turned around and was about to leave the temple.

"You two, don't you want a lottery?" the old Taoist asked.

"Ask for a lottery?" Nangong Xi'er was taken aback.

"One sign for three copper coins." The old Taoist raised three fingers.

Fortunately, before going out, he asked Mu Nianhua for money.Su Baiyi was overjoyed, and threw a broken piece of silver onto the table, then whispered to the old Taoist priest secretly: "Bring the best lottery!"

The old Taoist immediately put the money into his pocket, and then said loudly: "Whether the lottery is good or not, naturally you will know after asking for it! Of course, the young master is willing to give more money, and I thank you for Taohuaxian."
