Swordsman’s Road Chapter 19: Exotic style
It is a good place to ride a horse in a hurry. . . Li Ji went all the way north, and the two horses alternated, which was very quick. In less than ten days, he left Nan Chi Country and entered the territory of Zheng Guo. The way to travel is to stay in the front and back. When you go abroad, you don’t have to worry about the government’s pursuit. Li Ji slows down, thinking about finding a big city to take a good rest. Whether it is him or two horses, these days are tired. Not light. Three days later, a lofty majestic city appeared in front of me.
Xichang City is the great city of Zhengguo. It is located at the confluence of Qingcang River and Liuma River. It has a long history, convenient transportation, developed industry and commerce, and prosperous culture. It is the richest city in Zhengguo. Compared with Shuang City, It looks like a village.
Li Ji was introduced into the city by the road, and it was not criticized. There is no such thing as a so-called entrance fee, which really shows the demeanor and mind of a big city. The main gate of the city gate was tightly closed, and people entered and exited through the two side gates. Merchants, scholars, farmers, hawkers, bustling, dense and chaotic.
led a horse into the city gate, a clean and tidy atmosphere greeted us, all the roads in the city were paved with bluestones, and the houses beside the road were also two. (three/third) layer mostly had small buildings, mainly masonry structures, and many buildings. It also carved beams and columns to show luxury. Li Ji found an idler by the side of the road. Xu silver said that he was looking for a quiet and tidy inn. The money was not spent in vain. The idler was a local, and he was very stunted with foreign money. He took Li Ji for a long while and got Wenhe. In front of the inn. The inn is not big, but the location is excellent and very quiet. Li Ji was very satisfied. He asked to go to the room and settled the horses properly. Then he ordered the guy to hit the hot water, took a shower, and fell to the bed, immediately fell asleep.
This was a good night’s sleep, and I didn’t wake up until the next morning. I just felt refreshed and exhausted. Since the escape from Shuang City, all the way, no matter the physical or psychological pressure is not small, now that it is finally safe, we must always appreciate the customs of this big city.
Xichang, known as Wenhui in the old days, enjoy the appreciation of elegance and genius, is the most prosperous place of Zheng Guo, and even North Domain Han Continent. For thousands of years, countless famous poets and writers have been born here. The big song composer is the holy place in the hearts of the scholars of North Domain, and the palace of Wenyu. Li Ji walked all the way, and I felt even worse. In addition to the low-level people who need to travel for life, the most people on the street are those who have long robes and wide sleeves, and those with feather fan crowns and scarves. The shops beside the road are also mostly related to reading, pen and ink stationery, bookstore printing, even in the air, there seems to be a faint fragrance of paper and ink.
‘Inkstone people on the banks of the Songxi River, paper and ink in the depths of the Pavilion’, this is the scene.
Li Ji walks on the street, but feels a little out of place with the surrounding environment. Like him, short gowns, short boots, leggings, and long sword martial artist outfits are extremely rare. I thought of my own way leading the identity of a scholar from Shangyue's country, but I felt a little embarrassed. ‘It seems that the outfit must be changed. Now it’s too eye-catching and not noticeable. . . ’Li Ji did it when he thought about it, and glimpsed at a ready-to-wear store and pierced into it.
After Li Ji came out of the clothing store, the whole person has been completely renovated. A moon-white scribe robe is very strong on his steel-like body. What is lacking in him is that his face is ordinary, his skin color is black, and he is ten years away from the wind. For thousands of miles. . . I also bought a scribe hat. There is no way. In Cixi, I shaved my hair short for the convenience of fighting and the habits of previous life. This is no problem in Cixi, a remote and multi-ethnic community. But when I walked out of this world, I found that most people have long hair. This is the same as in the past, so wear a hat to cover it. . . He didn't change the quick boots, which is related to life and death. The thick-bottomed official boots of the literati really affect the body's flexibility. . . épée couldn't be tied on his back anymore, so he had to find a scabbard tied around his waist. épée was too thin and completely unsuitable for the scabbard. . . Li Ji looks in the mirror. At first glance, it may look like a scribe, but when you take a closer look, how do you feel that it is a bit non-standard?
Xichang food and drinks, pay attention to clear, fresh, crisp, tender, sweet, exquisite workmanship, and it has something in common with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine of his past life. Compared with these delicacies that make people's appetite increase, the food in the Shuang City area is much simpler. Li Ji travels all the way, tastes all the way, but it is good or bad.
Xichang is very big, and you can’t walk much with just your feet. Li Ji doesn’t have any fixed goals, but you can do whatever you want. In the evening, I found a restaurant next to the inn, a day snack, but now I want to try the main dish. Under the introduction of the buddy, I ordered a few local famous dishes, fragrant goose fatty liver, blue drunk fish, The rice dumplings, white dried shrimps, and the dishes are on the table. You can't help but secretly spit out the dishes. The portion size is small, the small amount is small, the delicate is refined, but how can you eat enough? martial artist has a wide stomach and no shortage of money, so he ordered four dishes, chestnut roast chicken, sugar sauce belly, Xichang pork bones, seaweed tofu, and pot carving, good wine and delicious dishes, exotic style, plus mood Comfortable, just eat Li Ji sour and refreshing.
was chewing on himself, a guest at the next table shouted waiter to check out. After a few middle-aged and well-dressed men made some pretentious concessions, one of them checked out, and the other was still kind. ~IndoMTL.com~ today was hosted by Brother Wang, but his brother was annoying, but staying in the future, if the child is lucky to choose entering the Dao palace and get into cultivation, it will be held in Dengxianlou to give thanks. . . "
"Old Li, don't you want to lie to me, who doesn't know that your daughter can't even understand the study, how can you choose the entering the Dao palace? Furthermore, choose the entering the Dao palace, does it cost you to repair it?" Another person confessed. . . Several people clamored and left the restaurant, but let the Li Ji drink a little bit.
Daoist Temple? cultivation? The accent of Nan Chi is not much different from that of Xichang. Li Ji is sure that he listens very clearly. Does Xichang City have such a channel to access the high immortality cultivation road? Unsure in my heart, the food also tasted very unpleasant, and I used it in a hurry. Li Ji didn't have the enthusiasm for wandering and returned to the inn to rest.
entered the guest room, Li Ji thought left and right, so confused, when he wanted to come, at the time he risked his life to get the chance at Zhong Fa, would it be so common in big cities? In his wild thoughts, waiter pushed the door into a pot of hot water, and Li Ji subconsciously asked, "waiter, I will ask you, do you know where Daoist Temple is in Xichang City?"
waiter smiled, "Daoist Temple, of course I know, no one knows in Xichang City... The guest can go to Jibei Street and go straight south. I will know at a glance..."
"Then you know, what are the obstacles and restrictions for entering and exiting Daoist Temple? What are the requirements for studying at Daoist Temple?"
"Guests forgive me, but I don't know. Anyway, that's a place that only the nobles in the city can go to..." The little boy looked stunned.
"So, let's go back" and threw him a broken silver guillotine, Li Ji secretly thought about it, it seems necessary to go to Daoist Temple tomorrow to find out. Although Daoist Zhong Fa gave him a chance, Xianyuan was hard to find, and one more chance to grasp.
