Chapter 276: In the City of Zhaling
"Dad, look, this river is really amazing!" Lan'er sat on horseback and looked at the river with amazement.
Xiao Wu stretched out his head by the river and looked in, and he also felt strange in his heart. Beside them is Zhaling City, which is the famous Zhalingkou, and the name of the river is Tianqian River.
Xiao Wu of the Tianqian River knew that the water of this river was dispersed into two rivers before flowing into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and it became an important water source of the Great Song Dynasty because of the dense tributaries.
However, few people will swim against the current, and the mountains and rivers are steep during this period, and not everyone can cross them. And if you swim upstream, you may get lost in the vast network of tributaries.
The Zhaling mouth of the Tianqian River, which is the name only known out of the desert, also comes from this. Because the Tianqian River flows through this place, you can only see the flow of water when you reach the mouth of Zaling. Further upstream, it is covered in ice. And Zhaling City was built next to Zhalingkou.
Anyone who goes to Zhaling City must go to Zhalingkou to have a look. Here is a thick layer of ice upstream, and a boiling river downstream.
Xiao Wu looked upstream, where it was covered with ice, but the strange thing was that there was only ice on the river, and the ice stretched to the two banks, connecting with the green on the shore.
"What a miracle of nature!" Xiao Wu sighed softly.
"Master, there are fish in this water! What a big fish, can you roast them for me?" At the junction of ice and water, a black-faced man with a two-foot-long fish tied to his iron rod was giggling.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat!" Xiao Wu scolded depressedly, isn't his big apprentice a fool?
"I'll go into town and eat at the inn later!
Zheng Laoshi's black face was flushed, and he walked over with his head down, with fish still stuck in the stick, and water dripping from the hem of his trousers.
Lan'er looked at the big fish on Zheng Laoshi's stick and swallowed, "Dad, will the fish here be delicious?"
"I think so. The water here is colder, and the meat is firmer. ”
Lan'er's eyes lit up, "Dad, let's try the fish here, shall we eat the grilled fish now?"
Xiao Wu laughed and gently stroked Lan'er's little head, "Hehe, Lan'er, this is really a good idea, let's grill the fish now." ”
Xiao Wu said, snatching Zheng Laoshi's stick, "Go grab a few more, it's delicious, don't catch more." ”
"......" Zheng is a little messy, are we talking differently?
Xiao Wu gave Zheng Laoshi a kick in the ass, "Don't go yet!"
"Alas, okay!" Zheng Laoshi didn't understand, but without delaying his excitement about eating grilled fish, he ran away with a stick.
It had been two days since the three of them left the desert, and after several inquiries, they arrived at Zhaling City. And when they had eaten the fish outside the city, they went toward the gate.
Zhaling City is built on the mountain, the west side of the city wall is next to the Tianqian River, and a city gate is opened in the southeast and north directions. The city wall here is not very tall, only about three zhang, although the combination of Xiao Wu and the three is a little peculiar, but after paying the entrance fee, no one will stop it.
Zhaling City is unexpectedly prosperous, with rows of shops and all kinds of pedestrians on the street. Some are dressed similarly to the Great Song Dynasty, some are mink brocade robes, and some are tattooed with various colors on their bodies, like totems.
After Xiao Wu cultivated the "Soul Technique", his perception was much stronger than before, and at this time, he also felt several spiritual energy fluctuations, obviously there were monks among them. Although there are not as many monks in this Zhaling City as in White Horse City, it has gathered more monks than in Song.
Several people were walking on the road, and suddenly one of them ran towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu subconsciously dodged, his body was extremely fast, the man didn't hit it, he just glanced at Xiao Wu in surprise, but he didn't want to pay attention to it, and hit Zheng Laoshi.
Zheng Laoshi is tall and big, plus he has eaten demon beast meat for more than a month, his body is even stronger at this time, and the person was directly knocked out.
Zheng Laoshi hurriedly grabbed the man, "Little brother, are you okay?"
The man's face turned pale, but he nodded with a sneer, "It's okay, it's okay." With that, he ran away.
Xiao Wu was slightly stunned, glanced at the man, but didn't pay too much attention to it, and continued to walk forward.
Monk! The person who just bumped into Zheng Laoshi is actually a little monk of the fourth level of qi refining. Although the realm is not high, you can see it on the street, which is a bit strange.
Finding an inn, Zheng Laoshi stepped forward and said, "Give us a courtyard." ”
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "There are three other courtyards in our store, and they are already full." ”
"Give us three upper rooms. Zheng honestly said again.
"There are no three. The shopkeeper said again.
"Master, what should I do?"
Xiao Wu had already frowned slightly at this time, such a big inn actually housed five or six monks. He could only perceive, but he couldn't accurately judge his cultivation.
Xiao Wu smiled indifferently, "It's okay, just one room." ”
The shopkeeper smiled, "There is only one room left, and you can only comment on the guests." Then, beckoned Xiao Er to entertain a few people.
Zheng Laoshi stretched out his hand into his arms and was about to take out the money, but his face changed a few times, "Master, my storage bag is gone." ”
Xiao Wu frowned, "That person just now?"
Zheng Laoshi slapped his thigh and rushed towards the door.
The shopkeeper listened to the conversation between the two, and then looked at Xiao Wu's thin clothes and short green shirts, and said softly, "The guest officer is a monk?"
Xiao Wu nodded lightly, "I see a lot of monks in this city." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, "Are you also here to participate in the Snow Lotus Festival?"
"Snow Lotus Festival?" Xiao Wu became interested.
"Every ten years, there will be a Snow Lotus Festival in Snow Lotus Valley, and there will be many monks who will participate, and they all live in this Zhaling City before the beginning. There are also people who don't have invitations, but come and try their luck. The shopkeeper sighed, "They are all immortal masters who are rarely seen!"
"Snow Lotus Valley, where is it?" Xiao Wu wondered.
The shopkeeper showed a look of surprise, "Guest officer, don't you know Snow Lotus Valley?"
Seeing Xiao Wu's stunned face, the shopkeeper smiled, "Actually, I'm not familiar with it, but I heard those immortal masters say that the Snow Lotus Valley is twenty miles upstream of the Tianqian River, where the clouds and mist are shrouded all year round, and mortals like us can't enter." ”
Xiao Wu nodded slightly, "What's the use of Snow Lotus?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I'm a mortal, guest officer, you can be regarded as asking for a blind question." After speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu with bright eyes.
Xiao Wu knew it in his heart, took out a silver ingot and put it on the table, "An upper room, if there is more, you can buy some wine and food for the guy." ”
The shopkeeper smiled, "Then thank you for the guys." ”
Putting away the silver, the shopkeeper continued, "Just listening to them, it seems to be useful for the monk's divine sense. I don't know. ”
Xiao Wu asked again, "What exactly is the Snow Lotus Festival going to do?"
The shopkeeper was just about to shake his head, when he saw Xiao Wu take out another ingot of silver and put it in front of him, and hurriedly said, "I don't know, but there are several immortal masters who live here, you can ask them." With that, he smiled and went to grab the ingot.
Xiao Wu put the silver back in his pocket, "I don't know, you take a P!" After that, he called the guy and went to the room.
He didn't worry about Zheng Laoshi, he had eaten demon beast meat for more than a month, coupled with Zheng Laoshi's physique and the perversion of the Heavenly Demon Devouring Heavenly Gong, he didn't believe that Zheng Laoshi would not be able to defeat the fourth-level cultivator of Qi refining.
Xiao Wu was sitting in the room, he was looking for Xue Mengpo, he should have asked Xia Bing before. But this guy left after drinking, and he didn't have time to ask in detail. But they should not be too far away from the Snow Dream Slope now, can they find a monk here and ask?
Xiao Wu closed his eyes and sensed that the five monks in this inn seemed to need to find time to visit.
In the evening, Zheng Laoshi didn't come back. Xiao Wu didn't wait for him, but decided to get up and ask a monk, Lan'er returned to the beads, and Xiao Wu walked towards a courtyard here. There was a faint aura fluctuation there. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Great God Don't Laugh Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
