Fairy Sword Inquiry 1

Chapter 55

Hearing Chen Ziping's words, Xingyan seemed to be suffocated for a while, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing that the talkative young man next to him was silent now, Chen Ziping turned his face to look at him - but saw that the expression on Xingyan's face was very strange.Seeing this scene, Chen Ziping was also very surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he turned his face and said to Xingyan apologetically: "Please forgive me for being rude, I shouldn't call you Daoist brother——you should be called Daoist brother." Zhang Daozun, or Hall Master Zhang...

Disciples must pay attention in the future! ""Uh? "

After Chen Ziping finished speaking, Xingyan came to his senses and understood the meaning of Chen Ziping's words. Xingyan hurriedly said: "Ahem! Brother Chen misunderstood me, I just thought about the three religions competition , I can’t help being fascinated, but it has nothing to do with Brother Chen. In the future, Brother Chen can still call me "Brother Dao"—if you don't see me, please call me "Xingyan"! I can hear the word "Brother Dao", But I'm still not used to it." "Well! Actually, I also think it's a bit weird to call you 'Dao Zun' or 'Teacher Zhang'." It seems that this Shangqing Palace who is not very good at words Young disciples are quite straightforward.

These two young people chatted along the way, and they didn't feel that the journey was boring.The two lived in villages along the way, and looked for food in towns. After fourteen or five days, they came to a village named Luoyang.

Xingyan has passed through many villages along the way these days, and when he arrived at Luoyang, he saw that this town has its own characteristics.After entering the town and walking for a while, I felt that Luoyang occupies a rather large area.I also saw that there are many green bamboos planted in this city walled city, and stretches of bamboo forests can be seen everywhere.And the attires of the pedestrians on this street are also quite different from what they seem along the way.Although many people still wear Han clothes, or short skirts, or long gowns, and if they are decorated with patterns, they are mostly animals, plants, and geometric figures, but apart from these clothes similar to those in the Raozhou area, they still see different patterns. Men and women with strange clothes.

For example, Xingyan met many women along the way, no matter young or old, they all wore fringed or embroidered clothes with a large front and right lapel on their upper bodies, blue cloth scarves on their heads, silver pendants on their ears, and silver flowers on their necklines.The lower body often wears knee-length short skirt pants, and the trousers are often embroidered with exquisite lace.And those men in strange robes and clothes usually wear black narrow-sleeved right cardigan tops, and wide and fat trousers with wrinkled edges.There are also lace trims on their collars and trousers, but the colors and patterns are not as gorgeous and complicated as those worn by women.

I also saw a few women with different clothes: short jackets and pleated skirts, mostly blue and white.What is particularly strange is that these women have a lot of silver ornaments on their bodies, with shining silver jewelry hanging on their heads, necks, chests, hands and other parts; Strands of fringed wreaths.

Looking at the hanging silver ornaments, Xingyan couldn't help sighing to Chen Ziping beside him: "Oh! So much silver! This place is so rich!" "Hehe, this Luoyang area is a place where Han and barbarians live together. Most of the people you see are Miao and Yi people, and their clothes are decorated with silver ornaments, and the customs are like this—there are also many weird folk customs here, which are beyond the comprehension of us cultivators."

Speaking of this, Chen Ziping's tone seemed to be a little sighing, but he woke up and was busy looking around for the unprecedented customs, and he didn't pay attention to the emotion in the words of the disciples of the Shangqing Palace beside him. .

Seeing that Xingyan was quite lingering, and seeing that the sun in the sky was gradually setting to the west, Chen Ziping suggested: "Since Brother Dao likes the scenery here so much, why don't we take a rest here and come back here tomorrow morning?" Do you want to watch it on the street?"

"Okay!" This proposal was exactly what the young man wanted, and he immediately agreed with it.

Xingyan thought back to the mountains and rivers he had seen along the way, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "These days are really an eye-opener! No matter how many spells you can learn in the Shangqing Palace——I saw you on the way. This trip is worthwhile!" After walking for a while, the two found an inn on the side of the street, and asked the innkeeper to take the donkey to feed it, and they rested here.

Nothing to say all night.In the early morning of the next day, the two of them woke up and finished washing, drank some porridge, called Chen Ziping after waking up, and happily went to the street for a stroll.

——Last night, there was a lot of travel and dust, and I didn't take a closer look at it for a while; now that I have free time, I am swinging along the way to enjoy it, and when I woke up, I realized that Luoyang Town in front of me really has a lot of bamboos.

The buildings and houses on both sides of the street, whether they are residential houses or restaurants, are all bamboo buildings.Older ones have a pale yellow color.These green or yellow bamboo houses, under the cover of the green bamboo forest, look extraordinarily peaceful and serene.Occasionally, when a gust of wind comes, there will be the sound of rustling bamboo leaves all over the street, and the unique freshness of the bamboo forest will blow in with the wind, making the two of them feel extremely refreshed!
While wandering around, Xingyan suddenly saw a circle of people at the corner of the street in front of him, and there were bursts of applause from time to time among the crowd.Anyway, he was just wandering around, so Xingyan dragged Chen Ziping along to watch the excitement.

It wasn't until the two of them approached that they realized that there were quite a few people around here, three layers inside and three layers outside.Xing Yan and the two circled around the crowd, found a slightly sparser place, and squeezed in.

When I looked into the venue, I realized that it was a Jianghu man who was performing on the street.

The scene has probably been said before, and now this guy is performing vigorously in the middle of the arena.I saw that his upper body was naked, revealing all his muscles, and he was performing the cudgel technique.

It seems that this man is quite accomplished in cudgel technique, the stick in his hand dances vigorously, just like the wheel, making people dazzled and dizzy.

Seeing the wonderful stick dance, bursts of applause erupted from time to time from the crowd watching.

Seeing the wonderful place, Xingyan couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and followed others to applaud loudly, applauding and sighing at the same time:
"It seems that there are quite a few strange people in this rivers and lakes!" Not to mention the admiration in the young man's heart, but he said that the man in that scene was also dancing to the top of his head - he yelled and stopped staying in place Instead of dancing around, he walked around the venue, and the eyebrow-level stick in his hand danced even more happily.Now in the eyes of others, it seems that some kind of magic has been cast on the stick, it seems that it has left the grasp of his hands, and it only dances and flies around this man, like a swimming dragon!
Seeing this scene, all the onlookers forgot to applaud, and they all quietly looked at the windmill-like stick figure in the field.It wasn't until the man took a few beautiful sticks and put away the sticks and stood still, that everyone realized it.In an instant, there was a burst of applause from the crowd of onlookers——

The sound was so loud that a few blocks away, the crow that was looking for food on the side of the street suddenly woke up and circled over Luoyang, rattling endlessly.

Among the crowd, Xing Yan's voice of applause was also resounding.But the Chen Ziping standing next to him had a calm expression on his face, as if he didn't care too much - when he realized this, Xingyan secretly praised in his heart:

"It seems that this Shangqing Palace on Luofu Mountain is indeed extraordinary—the cultivation skills of the disciples of this Shangqing Palace are really extraordinary!" After the applause of the crowd gradually subsided, the man was very proud and wiped the sweat from his forehead , he clasped his fists in the crowd and said loudly:

"I'm not talented, but this cudgel technique is well-known in the rivers and lakes - just because the jujube stick in my hand dances so fast, it's like the clothes are seamless that day, so my friends in the rivers and lakes are sent away. I have a nickname called 'Water, splash, no, enter'!"

Hearing the last four words of the man, the crowd applauded again.But Xingyan heard the showman's remarks, but couldn't help but think of the Wang Erdai stick next to the Wanghu Tower half a year ago:

"Hey! If this 'water can't get in' is allowed to hold the stick, I'm afraid the second-generation stick brother won't dare to boast about such a big mouth!"

In the past half a year, the personnel has changed several times.Now that Xingyan thought of that wretched man by Poyang Lake again, he actually thought he was a little cute.

And the Jianghu man in that scene heard everyone's fun, and became even more energetic. He eloquently eloquently praised his stick skills, and even mentioned a few things that he "couldn't get in". Glorious stories, to put it bluntly and vividly.

——The man's mouth is full of gossip, but Xingyan listens with gusto.While everyone was listening to the man's story, it didn't matter, someone in the crowd suddenly said outright: "What's 'water can't get in'? I think it's just bragging!" , but a bit childish!
And that Jianghu man, already talking about the excitement, was proud of himself, when the disappointing words fell into his ears, he was immediately furious:
"Which friend on the road is it? You don't want to show face, but you come to sweep your brother's place?!" While speaking, his eyes only fumbled back and forth in the crowd, trying to find the brazen provocateur.Xingyan was also surprised, but he heard an old man dressed in local clothes next to him say: "Oh! I'm afraid this foreigner is going to be unlucky!" A strong man!"

"Huh?" Hearing the remark, the old man gave him a strange look, and said, "The man who is about to be unlucky, as the old man said, is actually this good man in the arena." "Hey." ?!"

Xingyan was full of surprise. "This little brother is also a foreigner, right?" "Oh! Old man, can you see that?"

Xingyan admires him—because he came out today in casual clothes, and his own accent is no different from that of the Han people here.

"Hehe, it's not that the old man has eyesight—if he's from the local area, who doesn't know the name of that little fox fairy?" "Little fox fairy?" The little girl in the red dress bounced up and down in front of the Jianghu man who was looking around.I saw the little girl put her hands on her hips, raised her face and said to the man in a tender voice, "Are you really that powerful, 'Water can't get in'?" "Of course!... Whose little girl? Don't come Annoy me, I didn’t see that Uncle is—Huh?!” The quack man who was impatient felt that the girl’s voice was so familiar: “Could it be you who made trouble just now?”

At this time, Xingyan also saw clearly.This little girl who suddenly walked into the arena, looked at her appearance, she was only about eleven or twelve years old, with two small braids on her head.But look at her tender face, which has not faded from childishness, it is already born brilliantly, and she is just like a beauty—especially when her little mouth is pouted, it makes people feel that her face is pink , I couldn't help but want to step forward and pinch it.This pretty face like snow light, and against the fiery red clothes, the whole person looks like a jade carving!
"What a character!" It was the boy who woke up and couldn't help admiring - this journey south, maybe the sun is getting stronger, the further south you go, the skin color of this woman is often not as fair as that in the north .Seeing such a good person for the first time, Xing Yan couldn't help but admire him.

"Little brother, she is the 'Little Fox Fairy' that the old man just mentioned!"

Seeing Xingyan's confused face, Chen Ziping, who was standing next to him, said aloud:
"What kind of fox fairy—the little girl in front of me is a fox demon. I don't know why there is such a custom in Guizhou, but most of them don't regard the monster as evil, and call it a fairy!" The second half of the sentence is actually Speaking to the old man, when he said this, Chen Ziping had a gloomy expression on his face. "Hey! This Taoist priest, if you want the old man to tell you, the strange elves in the world are not all bad." Hearing this, the disciple of the Shangqing Palace still had a look of disapproval, but perhaps he respected the old man for his age. Gao, but no longer refute.

While the three of them were talking, they saw the little girl on the field, who seemed to be annoyed at being said that she was young, so she said that she wanted to try the man's stick skills. Is it really like what he preached? Can't pour it in.

But that man in the rivers and lakes didn't know the details of this girl, it was this little girl who was full of self-confidence and said that he didn't know who came out of this little girl who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth-but he just used her to show off his skills so that he could let her go The people of Luoyang knew that Zhao Yigun, the hero of Zhenzhou, was capable of "not being able to splash water in" - so they were so willing to offer the money!
