Chapter 3 Hanging Mountain Temple
After entering Yong'an City, Xu Yan and the others got into the original carriage again, and then continued to drive in the city for about two hours before the carriage stopped. However, on the way in the city, the curtain of the carriage has been lifted and has not been lowered, after all, the night view of Yong'an City is a must.
After the carriage stopped, it was almost close to Hai, and the prince was still the last to get off, but after arriving here, his mission was almost over, and the follow-up arrangements for Xu Yan and others to stay and participate in the grand event would be arranged by someone else who was specifically responsible for receiving foreign envoys, and he only needed to go to the palace to restore his life.
The prince turned his head to Xu Yan and the others and said: "You heroes have also worked hard along the way, but the next matters are no longer the responsibility of our family, and our family still has to go to your majesty to report to your majesty, but rest assured, our family will keep its promise, let the people in the palace prepare delicious food for you, and treat you well." ”
After Chen Qinghe and the others heard this, they all bowed their hands to the prince, and they didn't even dare to say anything. And just after the prince left, in the extremely gorgeous envoy post house in front of him, someone personally came out to welcome Xu Yan and others into the hall, and then arranged for them to dine and stay.
At present, there are still five days left before the grand event, and Xu Yan and the others have come to Yong'an City in advance, so the rest of the time, they can rest in the post house, but they are all cultivators themselves, so naturally they will not have a weak physique like mortals in the market, and they will have to spend time adjusting their state.
After finishing the meal and about to go to the guest room to check in, Chen Qinghe smiled at Xu Yan and Gu Xueqing who were present and said, "There are still a few days before the grand event, I don't know what arrangements you have, junior brother?"
When Xu Yan heard the other party ask, he already understood what the other party meant by coming, so he replied with a smile: "I haven't had time to think about it yet, does Senior Brother have any proposals?"
Chen Qinghe replied: "I plan to take advantage of my leisure in the past few days to go to the city for a walk, after all, this is the capital, there are many famous places among them, although I have been there when I was young, but now I have a vague impression, I want to visit again, I don't know if you want to travel together?"
Xu Yan thought to himself, there are only a few days left before the event, and it is true that there is nothing to improve by practicing in the post house, anyway, he will probably stay in this capital for a long time in the future, and it is not bad to be the first to familiarize himself with the environment, so he replied with a smile: "I also have this intention, then there will be Senior Brother Lao as a guide." After finishing speaking, Xu Yan turned to Bai Bing and Gu Xueqing and continued, "Do you two want to go together?"
Gu Xueqing nodded and replied, "Then let's go together, otherwise there will be no chance." ”
When Xu Yan heard the other party say this, he already understood, the other party obviously had little confidence in this event, and felt that he would definitely not be able to get the top ten, let alone enter the Sword Martial Arts Academy, but he really couldn't persuade anything about this, after all, the way to practice still has to rely on hard power.
Xu Yan received Gu Xueqing's affirmative answer, and then looked at Bai Bing again.
Seeing that the three of them were all looking at her at the moment, Bai Bing opened her lips slightly, and stopped talking a little, but finally nodded and said, "Okay then." ”
After going through the same road along the way, Bai Bing and Xu Yan slowly regained the feeling they had when they were in the spring hunt and walked all the way, although deep down, always
There was a voice that kept telling her that she couldn't go back to the past, but as long as she heard Xu Yan send her invitation, she didn't want to refuse for some reason, even if she was in this capital, she didn't really need to live in a post house like them.
Seeing that Bai Bing finally agreed after some hesitation, Xu Yan said with a smile: "Then it's decided, tomorrow at the beginning of the morning, we will still meet here, and after breakfast, we will play in the capital together." ”
After Chen Qinghe heard this, they all had no opinions, and they all nodded in agreement.
As for the other six people of the Lotus Sect, although they are all from the same cultivation sect, because they were originally a level behind Xu Yan and the others before they left the sect, and they came all the way, they seemed to have the intention of avoiding Bai Bing, so invisibly, together with Xu Yan and the others, it seemed to form an estrangement, so that the original ten people became two small groups, and naturally, they would not go to the city with Xu Yan and the four of them to play.
After discussing the matter of playing, everyone was ready to go to their respective rooms to check in, but when Xu Yan and the others were taken to the room where they were going to stay by the people in the post house, they found that the envoy post house in the capital was completely different from the post stations along the way, because it was a hundred times more luxurious here, not only did not need two people to share a room, or even four people, they could enjoy an independent courtyard.
This kind of courtyard is built in the form of a courtyard house, in addition to a luxurious guest room in each of the four directions of the south, east, west, and north, in the courtyard atrium, there is naturally an open-air courtyard view.
Looking at this courtyard, Xu Yan, who thought that he would be living separately, said with a smile: "It turns out that this is a four-person courtyard, which saves us from going to the front hall of the post house to meet, if this is the case, then tomorrow, we will meet in the courtyard, and now the time is not early, everyone should go back to the room to rest early." ”
......
Early the next morning.
At the beginning of the day, Xu Yan sat up from the bed, and then came to the courtyard to wash, this is his constant habit, but he didn't make too much noise, for fear of noisy Chen Qinghe and the three people in the room, after all, not everyone can choose to meditate and practice all the time like him, and after he finished washing, he went back to the room to meditate and practice.
When the day was approaching, after the sky had already brightened, Chen Qinghe and the three of them came to the courtyard on time, and then, the four of them went to the post house to have breakfast, and when they left the post house, it was almost two o'clock.
In addition to the envoy's post house, the four of them went to the bazaar to rent a carriage or two, and wanted to wander around the capital, but they couldn't walk on their feet, after all, this Yong'an City was several times larger than Zhiwangchuan City.
The four of them sat behind the carriage before Chen Qinghe spoke: "I never thought that the cost in this capital is so high, renting a carriage to drive will cost two taels of silver." ”
Xu Yan didn't have much silver left, after all, he only had the little silver taels that the cardinal secretly stuffed into him, although at that time, it seemed that this was a huge amount of money, but now, when he sat in front of Chen Qinghe and the three of them, it was a real poor ghost, after all, Chen Qinghe was a second-class family in Wangchuan City, so naturally there would be no shortage of silver, as for Bai Bing and Gu Xueqing, one was the daughter of the four major families in Wangchuan City, and the other was the niece of the richest man in Wuyang Town, if they were short of money, it would be intolerable.
Practitioners don't pay much attention
It's heavier than the money in the market, that's for sure, but since he has arrived in the capital of the market, he can't do it without money, and it is said that a penny is difficult for heroes, if Xu Yan doesn't follow them to eat and drink, the little money left in his pocket is estimated to be enough for a day's consumption.
The four of them rode in a carriage, and after traveling all the way for more than two hours, they finally came to a mountain peak.
After Xu Yan and the four got out of the car, Chen Qinghe took the initiative to pay for the car out of his pocket, and at the same time, the subsequent expenses such as lunch, buying roadside snacks, etc., were all handled by Chen Qinghe alone.
Xu Yan's current cultivation is not enough, and he can't do Bigu, so for some of the delicacies in the market, he doesn't refuse to come when he sees them, and he wants to taste them.
The mountain peak is called Yanlai Peak, the mountain is quite high, and it is one of the four famous mountains in Yong'an City.
It is located to the east of the capital, but this peak is famous not for the peak itself, but for the fact that at the summit, there is an ancient temple called Hanging Mountain Temple.
Hanging Mountain Temple was built on the top of Yanlai Peak, built by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has been hundreds of years, was originally only used for the royal sacrifice to the sky, not for the visitors to approach, later because of the time and the slow change in the system, now has been opened to become a scenic spot full of tourists.
However, the altar hall used by the emperor to worship the heavens is still not allowed to be approached by tourists, and only royal people can enter.
From the foot of Yanlai Peak, to the top of the mountain hanging mountain temple, the road is far away, but fortunately, the road up the mountain has been built very smooth, and Xu Yan and others can only rely on foot after reaching the foot of the mountain, because the road up the mountain is all stone steps, not a smooth stone road.
In the process of the mountain, the visitors are weaving, and now it is still during the first lunar month, the visitors who go to the hanging mountain temple to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings can be described as countless, and the mountain road is occupied every day.
Xu Yan and the four of them continued to move along the mountaineering trail, enjoying the scenery in the mountains while enjoying it, and when the four of them were halfway up the mountain, they stood on the mountain road and looked down the mountain, and they could already see a corner of Yong'an City.
The endless courtyards of the mansion, with no end in sight, can only sigh that the capital city seen now is really too big.
Chen Qinghe saw that Xu Yan and the three of them behind him were all a little stunned at the moment, so he said with a smile: "Looking out from here, it's nothing, when we go to the Hanging Mountain Temple at the top of the peak, when we stand at the highest place, we can see the panoramic view of the capital at a glance, of course, our eyesight is limited, and the scenery of Taiyuan is categorically unclear, but the palace located in the middle of the capital can be seen roughly." ”
When Xu Yan heard this, he was all interested, and he didn't stay too much on the mountainside, and then followed Chen Qinghe to the top of Yanlai Peak in one breath, and then walked into this huge ancient temple.
The hanging mountain temple is very large, built according to the mountain, the highest temple in it, is the altar hall used by the Son of Heaven to worship the sky, followed by the Daxiong Treasure Hall for the market visitors to come here to pray for blessings and incense, as for the remaining side halls, they are all in front of the ancient temple.
After Xu Yan entered the crowded ancient temple, it was not for them to come to pray for blessings, so it was naturally impossible to go to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but to go through the small gate in the ancient temple to a small peak viewing platform on the outer edge of the back of the hanging temple.
However, before they could approach the small gate in Chen Qinghe's memory, they were forcibly intercepted by a group of cold-faced soldiers wearing golden armor.
