always a fairy

Chapter 72

The southern capital is Lin'an.

The capital of Shaoyang.

On the way into the city, you can see countless fertile fields and endless farming and animal husbandry.

Rivers and waterways extend in all directions, merchants and farmers walk inside and outside the city gate, a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Bai Yujing was sitting in the carriage. This was the first time he had come to such a big city, and he couldn't help but admire: "I thought Yuhang County was powerful enough, but now it seems that Lin'an is really much more prosperous."

Qin Wen on the side smiled sweetly and was about to speak, but Chu Xiuran took the opportunity.

"You don't know anything, you old hat. This Lin'an has a vast land and beautiful things, which is bigger than ten Yuhang counties. The people here are so rich that you can't imagine."

Ever since he knew Bai Yujing's identity, Chu Xiuran seemed to be a different person. Whenever he had to quarrel with Bai Yujing, he would fight to the death with a word or two.

Of course Bai Yujing wouldn't let him, everyone was in their teens and early 20s, the age when they were full of anger and insisted on competing, so he said, "Hey, then I am an official here, not as good as a county lieutenant in Yuhang County Still great?"

In front of the embroiderer, the county lieutenant is a fart, but when Bai Yujing said this, Chu Xiuran was not convinced, and immediately said: "Then you don't understand, the embroiderer is in charge There are too many, but the county lieutenant is free, as long as the law and order are good, everything else is fine."

Bai Yujing smiled and said: "But I heard that the security in Yuhang County is not very good, why don't I write in the report that Yuhang County killed people in the street, the county captain tried to kill the embroiderer, oh oh, it's the county County magistrate, look at my brain."

Chu Xiuran was about to die of anger, and was planning how to retaliate. Bu Zhuohua, who was on the side, quickly found a chance to speak, and saluted and said, "My lord, we have found your sword, and it will be returned to its original owner."

Seeing Jinghong, Bai Yujing immediately said happily: "I knew that Master Bu is powerful, Miss Qin Wen promised me that if this sword is gone, she will pay her back to me, hey, take a look, it's better to get it back gone."

Bu Zhuohua naturally understood the meaning behind his words, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Bai Yujing, "I am going to enter the Tianxia Pavilion, and I still have to trouble my friends in Jiangnan Water Town in the future. Without your people?"

Bu Zhuohua said: "Of course, we have two permanent rooms in the Yanyu Fengyun Building for doing business, and two courtyards for us to live in. If you need it, I will arrange for Miss Qin Wen to live here and act as a contact point." job."

Bai Yujing said: "That's great, what is this Misty Rain Fengyun Tower?"

Bu Zhuohua said: "It is the main building of Huayue Building. There are Huayue Buildings all over the country, but if Huayue Building in Nandu is also called Huayue Building, it is impossible to judge the high-level of this place, so I took one. Misty Rain is nominated."

Bai Yujing understood.

This time, Bu Zhuohua and Qin Wen sent Bai Yujing to take office in Beijing, and the two naturally became friends.

And the follower Chu Xiuran was specially called into the Southern Capital by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The three groups got out of the carriage after entering the city gate and said their goodbyes.

After all, the East Palace and Tianxia Pavilion are in the inner city and the other is in the outer city. People from Shuilongzhai dare not go to these two places.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Bai Yujing was attracted by a huge building.

He looked up, and saw a Tongtian Futu Pagoda, which soared straight into the sky, so high that it couldn't see the top, which immediately added a majesty to the southern capital of Lin'an.

Qin Wen said: "My lord, this is the Xuantian Pavilion. It is a tower in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace. It has 34 floors, which means 33 heavens. The top one is called Tianwaitian. Your Majesty will climb it every time there is a sacrificial ceremony. Going up to the sky and outside the sky, implying that the king is in the world."

Bai Yujing suddenly realized, "It's really amazing."

Qin Wen said: "My lord, do you know the location of Tianxia Pavilion? Do you want me to take you there?"

Bai Yujing said: "You don't have to, the girl just needs to point it out for me, and I'll go by myself."

Qin Wen pointed in one direction and said, "Did you see it?"

Looking along, you can see a tall pavilion, this building is unusual, and it is very different from other buildings that stand out from the crowd.Its whole body is snow-white, without any blemishes, and what stands above the pavilion is not a pavilion, but a golden dragon, with wide-open eyes, long beard and sharp claws, lifelike.

Bai Yujing said: "It's really impressive."

Qin Wen said: "This golden dragon means the Holy One."

Bai Yujing immediately understood that this meant that the imperial power was supreme, and that all actions of the Tianxia Pavilion were in the eyes of His Majesty, and no matter what, he could not be divorced from the Emperor.

Thinking of this, Bai Yujing couldn't help but want to ask the emperor, did he know about his affairs in Yuhang County in advance?Or after the fact?
After saying goodbye, Bai Yujing went straight to Tianxia Pavilion.

This road was an eye-opener for this boy from the countryside. The wide and magnificent streets are crowded with people, no matter where there are endless pedestrians. The people here are dressed in red, willow and green. It seems that they are rich people from their families. They are completely different from Jingzhou City. , Most of them are farmers in white hair and sackcloth, and people from the rivers and lakes who run escorts and merchants.

The things sold on the side of the road were weird and weird, and I had never seen them before. Bai Yujing ate more than a dozen kinds of snacks, fried white sausage, glutinous rice cake, ice cream and a series of good things that he had never heard of before. A drink with a very different flavor, it was like breaking through a barrier, and walked to the door of Tianxia Pavilion.

No matter where it is, this yard and this building are very eye-catching.

It was the first time Bai Yujing saw a white courtyard wall, and it was also the first time he saw a black gate.

"Why does this embroiderer have colorful clothes, but the house is so white? And... why doesn't he even have a gatekeeper?"

The gate of Tianxia Pavilion has always been ajar. Not only is there no one on duty, the gate also seems to be unattended, as if anyone can come in if they want to. The way it was before entering, turned around and looked inside.

A huge screen.

The moment he saw this screen, Bai Yujing seemed to understand something.

On the screen was a picture, in which there was a man and a ghost covered with fluff. The ghost was holding a pair of iron pliers, sticking into the man's mouth and pulling out his tongue.

The screen freezes at this scene.

After passing through the screen, you come to the first courtyard, and there is a second screen in front, which should be the second courtyard behind.

The second screen is also a portrait. There are two women kneeling on the ground, and Li Gui is holding a pair of scissors in his hand and is about to cut off their fingers.

Bai Yujing didn't understand why such terrible things were put here, it seemed that they were all tortures, and they targeted people differently.

Continue to walk inside, every time you enter the yard, there is a screen, and every screen is also tortured.

During this period, he also saw embroidered envoys in embroidered clothes, but they were in a hurry and had no intention of talking to Bai Yujing at all. Even if Bai Yujing grabbed their clothes, they were not angry or broke free, just dumbstruck. Stand where they are until Bai Yujing can't ask anything and let them go, then they will continue to do their own things.

No one spoke a word to him.

It wasn't until he stood in front of a dark iron house that the first person spoke to him for the first time.

It was an embroiderer without embroidered clothes, because he was wearing the gold leaf Puyi knife of the embroiderer.

He seemed to be in his 40s, and he was sitting on the ground very tired. His eyes were as silent as ashes, like a pool of stagnant water, and he looked over.

"Bai Yujing?"

Bai Yujing swallowed, "It's me."

The man nodded, "You have gone to the wrong place, this is the Water Pavilion."

Bai Yujing said: "Water Pavilion?"

The man said: "Yes, you are not from the Water Pavilion, but from the Fire Pavilion, so you should go to the Fire Pavilion."

He stood up and walked behind Bai Yujing with his exhausted body.

Bai Yujing looked at him tremblingly, afraid that he would die of exhaustion after these few steps.

Fortunately, his body still supported him to continue to live. He stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction: "Go straight and stop when you see a house similar to here. Feng Yebei came back this morning, you can see him .”

Bai Yujing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you...Senior."

The man waved his hand and said impatiently: "There are no seniors in the Tianxia Pavilion, only the Venerable, the Pavilion Master and others. You don't have to take care of other people, you just need to take care of yourself."

Then aren't you from Tianxia Pavilion?
Bai Yujing didn't understand.

The man seemed to see Bai Yujing's thoughts, but there was no intention of explaining in his eyes.

Leaving in embarrassment.
