Chapter 273: Xinghua Town
Ten miles of ginkgo trees, hundred miles of apricot flowers, flowers accompanied by wine, not drunk and not returned.
Xinghua Town, located in the northwest side of the junction of Xiniu Hezhou and Nanbu Zhou, is close to Beihai, but the climate is pleasant, since ancient times, the people of Xinghua Town have collected the apricot blossoms in the season to make fine wine, the apricot blossom wine is fragrant, and it is famous far and wide.
This is a thousand-year-old town, the town is not big, and there are not many people, but every household is an expert in winemaking, which can be said to be a treasure in every family, and every household tastes the aroma of wine.
There are many wine shops in Xinghua Town, the highest wine shop is only two storey small buildings, arranged on both sides of the small street of Xinghua Town, a water past, all are old plaques that have become pale after wind and rain, which looks simple and vicissitudes.
At this time, on the second floor of a wine shop with invisible lacquer words on a plaque in the corner of the town, near the window, a young man dressed as a scholar was sipping fine wine, his eyes through the faint rain and mist, leisurely tight.
"I didn't expect the secret world to be hidden, and it only spanned hundreds of miles, but it saved me a lot of effort."
The boy drank a glass of clear wine, felt the fragrance of apricot blossoms, and couldn't help but feel comfortable.
This young man, naturally came out of the secret world, and changed his appearance Shi Hou, since separating from the Qingluan Fairy, Shi Hou fled all the way, and accidentally found this ancient town, so he stayed.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that although the wine in Xinghua Town was just an ordinary wine, it was also very tasteful, which made him linger, and unconsciously, the irritability left in the secret realm precipitated instead, and even his own Dao heart was stabilized.
After staying in this Xinghua Town for several days, Shi Hou naturally figured out the location of this Xinghua Town, which was only a few hundred miles away from Baihuling, and with his ability, it was easy to go over.
It is rare to have such a good place to rest after coming out of the secret realm, and Shi Hou is naturally not in a hurry.
But just when Shi Hou was leisurely tasting the wine, an old man in his fifties came up from downstairs, glanced at Shi Hou, and said with a smile, "This son, my lord is invited." ”
Shi Hou glanced at the old man and found that this was a martial artist who cultivated martial arts, although it was not as good as the innate realm and could not peep into the gate of cultivating immortals, but among the mortals, he was already a rare master.
"Who is your master, I just passed by here, I don't want to make friends with people, so I won't accompany you?" Shi Hou didn't raise his eyebrows, holding the wine glass in his hand and feeling comfortable.
"Why should the son refuse people thousands of miles away, my lord lives in seclusion in the apricot blossom valley outside the apricot blossom town all the year round, known as the apricot blossom old fairy Weng, he felt the old man a few days ago, knowing that there are masters to come, is to guide the little old man to come here to invite, if the son likes fine wine, the wine here is brewed in the apricot blossom valley is better, why not go and taste one or two?"
The old man was not surprised by Shi Hou's refusal, but persuaded him with kind words, "My master said that the son is a master, and if he entertains a master, he will naturally be entertained with immortal brew." ”
"Oh?"
Shi Hou sighed lightly, couldn't help but glance at the old man, and said, "Your master, known as an immortal?" ”
"Yes, everyone in Xinghua Town knows that there is an old immortal in Xinghua Valley, but there is a chance to see my master, and there are less than five people here." The old man said proudly.
"It's a little interesting, since it's an immortal Weng invited, I want to see the so-called immortal brew, please lead the way."
Shi Hou was originally reluctant to put in more effort, but hearing that the old man's master seemed to be an immortal cultivator, it made him a little interested.
When he first came to Xinghua Town, Shi Hou explored, although this place is ancient, and there are a few immortal cultivators who have some Taoism, but none of them can step into the immortal gate to achieve immortals, and they do not become immortals, after all, they are just ordinary people, and Shi Hou does not want to deal with them more.
It's just that he didn't expect that there was an old fairy with apricot blossoms here, living in seclusion in the Apricot Blossom Valley outside the town, which surprised him.
The old man led the way, and soon, Shi Hou had come to the outside of the town, passing through the conspicuous apricot blossom forest that was blooming, Shi Hou did not pay attention to it before, at this time under the leadership of the old man, he found that this piece of ginkgo biloba trees had formed a complex formation, if it was not for the old man to lead the way, if Shi Hou fell into it, I am afraid that he would also encounter some trouble.
"The formation of the green wood, the technique of transferring flowers and grafting trees, is a bit interesting."
After seeing the Sun, Moon and Star Great Array and the Three Appearances and Three Bodhi Great Arrays of Buddhism, Shi Hou's knowledge of the formation is no longer the same, especially in the Sun, Moon and Star Great Array, with the power of the secret world, Shi Hou has a deep insight into the great array of this ancient demon clan's heavenly court, and with his profound heavenly machine god arithmetic, with a little deduction, he has made great progress in the formation.
Not to mention, at this time, his Qiankun Cave Heaven World had already engraved the rules of the origin operation of the secret realm world, as long as he was willing, the formation was no longer a problem for him.
However, Shi Hou had just come out of the secret realm, and he was relaxing his mind, but he had never deduced.
"Childe is really a master, this array is just a mesmery array set up by my lord to avoid disturbance from ordinary people, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see through." The old man chuckled, went around in circles, and led Shihou through the ginkgo grove to the so-called Apricot Blossom Valley.
Apricot Blossom Valley is not a valley, but a canyon that extends down from the ground, hidden in the shade of the ancient ginkgo trees that surround it, and it is absolutely difficult to find a canyon here if you look down from the sky.
"Childe, here, the little old man is just a layman, he can't enter this apricot blossom valley, the master is already waiting in the valley, son, please take care of yourself." The old man took Shi Hou to the entrance and respectfully stepped back.
"It's kind of interesting, there are old people." Shi Hou nodded slightly, not afraid of anything in this Apricot Blossom Valley, and immediately stepped in.
There is a road into the valley, and ginkgo trees are planted on both sides, but the ginkgo trees here are obviously different from the ginkgo trees outside, not only are they not tall, but they look a little short, but they exude a pure green wood aura, which is obviously a spirit tree.
Just walking into the valley for dozens of meters, there was a crisp piano sound, which was pleasant, making Shi Hou feel refreshed and even more relaxed.
"There are friends from afar, they are very happy, and the old man is presumptuous to invite him, and I hope that the son will not be surprised."
Just when Shi Hou stepped into the depths of the Apricot Blossom Valley with the sound of the piano and came to the side of the pool that was one acre wide, a hearty laugh came from the sound of the piano, and Shi Hou heard the sound, only to see that at the edge of the pool, a figure was sitting cross-legged, with a guqin on his lap, looking at him with a smile.
"It turned out to be a white ape who attained the Tao, no wonder he refused to appear in front of mortals, but you came to me, what do you have to say?" Shi Hou unexpectedly looked at the figure covered by white hair, revealing the face of a monkey, and asked with a frown.
