Chapter 51 Yichuan
Lin Shan and Jiang Protector came to the imperial capital and looked at the huge city that was more than ten feet high, with a moat about two feet wide, rows of arrow towers and crossbows embedded across the city head, and black copper cannons standing in the middle.
Passing through the majestic and towering towers, the breath of the red dust blows into your face. The broad streets are bustling with traffic, there are many people, shoulders and shoulders, and the sound of hawking is endless.
Teahouses, boats, restaurants, gambling establishments, academies, and canals can be seen everywhere along the street. Young gentlemen and ladies are cheering in front of and behind, and dignitaries and dignitaries are carrying large sedan chairs.
Smoked willow painted bridges, wind curtains and emerald green curtains, cities lined with jewels, households filled with beautiful flowers, and millions of homes scattered among them!
This is the power center as high as the temple in the Song Dynasty!
The prosperity and cultural heritage of Bianliang City are far from comparable to the cities in southern Xinjiang that Lin Shan has seen before. There must be many talented people hidden in it.
Protector Jiang was obviously not here for the first time. He was familiar with the road and led Lin Shan through many twists and turns, and finally stopped in front of a prominent mansion in the south of the city.
"Bo Wanghou Mansion".
This palace has a majestic pavilion with high floors, green pine eaves and jade railings. At first glance, he looks like a powerful man of the current dynasty who is extremely wealthy.
Protector Jiang didn't explain much and just said, "Follow me."
He led Lin Shan in through a side door. The entire houfu was terrifyingly large, and he kept passing through the courtyard arches, making it difficult to distinguish things from east and west.
But what is more surprising is that there are not many maids and maids in such a luxurious palace. All they encounter on the way are groups of hurried people in black, as if they are all busy with tasks and have no attention to others.
Finally the two came to a courtyard.
Protector Jiang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and an old voice came from inside: "Come in!"
The two entered the house, smelling sandalwood, and an old man with white eyebrows and drooping shoulders was looking at them with a smile.
"I have received the letter, Mr. Jiang, the person next to you must be Master Lin!"
Lin Shan saw the old man in front of him, dressed in gray cloth and linen, with a kind face, just like an ordinary old farmer. He lived to be more than 90 years old in a mortal body, and his eyes were still shining and his spirit was high.
Especially the pair of iconic white eyebrows with drooping shoulders, I have already guessed that it must be the Supreme Elder Nightingale!
Protector Jiang bowed and stepped aside, leading Lin Shan to the old man with a bowed brow.
"I have met the Supreme Elder, and I am Lin Shan." Lin Shan simply cupped his fists.
The Supreme Elder stood up and invited the two of them to sit down. He poured tea for Lin Shan himself and started chatting about home affairs.
Lin Shan was able to cope with it naturally, and the two of them talked about everything from the customs of Zangqi County and southern Xinjiang, to the elegant music of the nine counties of Jingxiang, to the grace and luxury of the imperial capital Bianliang, and finally to the immortal master at Nightingale Headquarters. on the body.
The Supreme Elder nodded, "I will take Immortal Lin to see Master Huang soon. Haha, if you communicate with peers, you will definitely gain more than you can piss off."
Lin Shan nodded, really not in a hurry, and asked about the situation in Xiuxianfang City.
"Does the Supreme Elder know Yinchuan?"
The old man opposite held the teacup in his hand and paused for a moment. Lin Shan instantly understood that the real person in charge of Nightingale knew some inside stories about the immortal cultivators.
"That's right, little friend, you want to find out the whereabouts of Xiuxianfang City! Young people all yearn for the real world of cultivation, not the mortal world of our mortal world." The elder Taishang smiled, with two long white eyebrows Shaking.
But he turned around and comforted Lin Shan, "Xiuzhenfang City is actually not as good as imagined. Ordinary casual cultivators may not be able to stay there for long. If you want to take root there, you must have a certain skill.
There may be things you don't know. ”
The Supreme Elder immediately introduced the background of Xiuxianfang City to Lin Shan. It was similar to what was recorded in the biographies of Guangnan San people. It seemed that many non-common cultivators had hit a wall and then had no choice but to return to the secular world.
Lin Shan naturally nodded repeatedly, claiming that he was just curious.
The Supreme Elder was not too polite and directly expressed his thoughts: "I am willing to hire Immortal Lin to worship Nightingale, three spiritual stones a year!"
When Lin Shan heard this, he realized there were only three? There were only five San people in Guangnan in the palace back then!
I am now at the sixth level of qi training, how can I be worth this much?
The Supreme Elder on the side was helpless. Ever since he received the letter from Protector Jiang, he had planned to recruit Lin Shan.
After all, the immortal master that Nightingale worships now is old. When the immortal passes away, a new immortal master will be needed to carry the flag.
Nowadays, the standard requirement for big forces is whether they can afford an immortal master! If you can worship the immortal master all year round, everyone will recognize that this organization has a profound foundation and is willing to sit down and cooperate with you.
As for the cultivation level of the immortal master, no one cares, what everyone wants is a good reputation. The Supreme Elder thought that Lin Shan was at the third level of Qi training, so the price was not high.
The second is the current Huangxian Master. One year of worship already consumes five spiritual stones. Taking three more to offer to Lin Shan is already beyond Nightingale's limit.
Lin Shan was not interested when he heard this. He had no intention of staying here. This time I came to the capital, firstly to find connections and explore Xiuxianfang City, which is similar to "Yinchuan", and secondly to find ancient charm.
Besides, Nightingale's bid was too low.
The Supreme Elder couldn't persuade him, so he had to give up for the time being.
Next, he took Lin Shan to visit another immortal master and gave a few casual explanations to Protector Jiang on the side, asking him to wait for the appointment arrangements.
……
Lin Shan followed the Supreme Elder to a side hall in the Hou Mansion and opened the door. The situation inside was revealed to Lin Shan's eyes. He finally understood why Protector Jiang did not comment on this immortal master.
The lights in the hall were brightly lit, and a group of dancers were dancing, each wearing extremely revealing clothes. The musicians on the side were playing and singing, and they were still making obscene sounds, and the whole hall was filled with sultry desires.
And in front of the chair, a short, fat old man with a goatee was hugging two beauties on the left and right, moving his hands up and down happily!
The Supreme Elder had an expressionless face, as if he was used to this scene. He waved his hand behind him, and all the musicians and dancers on the field got up and left.
"Oh? No, my beauties! Uh."
The old man with the goatee had a look of reluctance on his face. It was obvious that his interest was interrupted, which made him feel uncomfortable. However, when he saw the Supreme Elder coming, he had no choice but to give up.
Lin Shan was also a little strange. He could feel that the Huangxian Master in front of him didn't seem to dare to contradict the Taishang Elder?
Moreover, his cultivation seems to be at the third level of Qi training!
This makes Lin Shan incredible. At such an old age, if you slowly polish it for ten years, you will already be in the middle stage of Qi training! Why are you still wandering in the early stages?
At this time, the Supreme Elder spoke, not to him, but to the old man with the goatee:
"How many times have I told you! Your end is approaching, and you still haven't taken good care of yourself. You indulge in women all day long! Are you so old-fashioned that you don't care about your life?"
Master Huang Xian was sick and weak and replied, "I'll live a good life in just a few years! Just be cool and enjoy yourself in time."
The Supreme Elder sighed bitterly, this old guy was like this twenty years ago, and he has been slutty until now.
If it weren't for the fact that the nightingale needs a mascot, this kind of waste.
"This is Master Lin, who came from the Nightingale Branch. This time I came to the capital, it is a good time for you to communicate with each other. Well, by the way, tell me about your experience in "Yichuan"."
After the Supreme Elder finished speaking, he gave Master Huang Xian a hint of help.
After hearing this, Master Huang Xian looked at the young man in white behind him, sensed it casually, and jumped up instantly.
"Mid stage of Qi training!"
"Huh?"
The Supreme Elder was also startled and looked at Lin Shan in disbelief.
So young? Just in the middle stage of Qi training? He's barely twenty years old!
Lin Shan was calm. He did not expect that the Immortal Master at Nightingale Headquarters would be such a thing.
I couldn't help but feel disappointed and a little unmotivated.
The Supreme Elder next to him calmed down and was secretly annoyed that the price he had just offered was too low. No wonder people looked down upon him! I began to think about whether I should deduct a little from Master Huang Xian's offering. Anyway, this cartilage and mud can’t hold up the wall
Lin Shan, who was beside him, had already taken his seat and started chatting with Master Huang Xian.
"Senior, you have been practicing for many years, why are you still in the early stages of qi training?" Lin came up and exposed his scars.
"Ah haha, I don't dare to be a senior! My cultivation level is higher than mine, and those who have mastered it are my teachers! Thank you very much, just call me brother, or else, Daoist Huang Daoyou," the old man with the goatee said in a more restrained tone.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders. Brother Huang, do you know Xiuxianfang City?" Lin Shan went straight to the point and didn't want to be too polite.
Master Huang Xian hesitantly glanced at the Supreme Elder. He naturally knew that the Supreme Elder's Xiao Jiujiu wanted Lin Shan to succeed him, but he couldn't say it clearly.
The Supreme Elder nodded to him, and Master Huang Xian spoke:
"Yes, I lived in a Xiuxianfang city for a period of time when I was young. That city is located in the land of Yanyun in the north, and its name is Yichuan."
There will be another update at noon~
