Chapter 269 This mountain and river
Yangping architecture and house style tend to be the word "old" and lined up one after another, but it is very orderly and neatly crafted. However, looking around, the wooden buildings on both sides are not tall, and the tallest one is only five floors.
For inns and restaurants, the five-story building is not very high.
The restaurants in Tiandu are famous, just like the "Zaixing Tower". For example, the "Jian Pavilion", which is derived from the Jian Pavilion, which means "raceful and towering" in the mouth of a great sword practitioner, is built with thirty-six floors, with a sword weapon hanging under the eaves, with a total of 216 handles. They are replaced every year, and the rank is not low. From bottom to top, it is like observing a tower with rugged sword energy soaring into the sky.
In the ancient city of Yangping, swaying ancient red flags can be seen everywhere. The fabric faded, the edges are white, and the wind is fluttering.
There are several shops facing each other, all of which are only two stories high, with a shiny and smooth flagpole. Lanterns swaying in the wind, and the flags are engraved with a few big characters that are almost the same.
Liu Shiyi recited one by one: "Yongxing, Ambition, Zhengxing, Guangxing..."
Looking closely, there were one or two young men standing at the door of each house, wearing simple vests, with muscle lines on their bodies coming out, leaning against the door, closing their eyes to rest.
The girl said calmly: "This is an escort agency. If you turn around and leave Yangping, you may ask them to buy a few good horses."
"What is the escort agency?" Liu Shiyi said in confusion: "After leaving Yangping, do we want to drive the horse? Don't control the flying sword?"
When he said this, Liu Shiyi lowered his voice. He frowned and said softly: "If you drive the horse, I don't know how long it will take..."
He was wearing a wide bamboo-boned hat, and the dust in his white clothes had been blown away by the starry aura. In addition, he practiced swordsmanship, whether from a distance or close up, Liu Shiyi looked like a young man from a great family.
However, because of the sword injury, Liu Shiyi sometimes coughed while walking, subconsciously covered his palms with his back, and his body was covered with three parts of a sickly aura.
As for Ning Yi, wearing a black robe, taciturn, she was suppressed by Liu Shiyi's glamour, and because of the oil-paper umbrella around her waist... At first glance, she looked like a servant holding an umbrella for the young master.
Pei Fan's girl was wearing a straw hat and was not tall. She held the green leaves and looked like a maid or maid.
The three of them walked on the road, and they were like a pair of young men going out, bringing maids and servants.
The rate of recurrence is not low.
But in fact, it is the opposite.
Liu Shiyi is a sword cultivator with pure sword heart. When he was placed on Jianhu Palace, he was Liu Shi's personal disciple. When he was placed in the secular world of the Sui world, he was nothing... If he insisted on saying anything.
He can only be an idiot.
But Ning Yi is different.
This is the first time Ning Yi left Tiandu and went out as a "free man". He used to see the customs and deeds of the Sui world on Xiaoshuang Mountain, but he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.
Ning Yi said patiently: "The escort agency is a place for escorts in the world. The world of Sui Dynasty, big and small, and with important things, can be entrusted to the escort agency to send them to a certain location."
Liu Shiyi frowned, looked at the young and strong man at the door and said, "What are they?"
A man leaning under the plaque of Zhicheng Escort Agency closed his eyes and rested, seemed to sense a certain gaze. He opened his eyes and saw the three men, young servants and maids on the street, grinning with bright white teeth, clasping his fists and smiling at Liu Shiyi.
Ning Yi said lightly: "He is an escort in the escort agency. He relies on his ability to make a living. When walking outside, he needs a few places to fight."
Liu Shiyi couldn't understand and said, "But why did they not have cultivation?"
Ning Yi looked at Liu Shiyi.
This guy is really an idiot.
"Do you think practice is so simple?" Ning Yi pressed his hat with one hand, rolled his eyes, and said, "Which practitioners in the Sui Dynasty are not arrogant and do you still rely on darts to support your life? If there are 200,000 ordinary people in Yangping City, then there will be no more than one thousand practitioners, and most of them are patrollers of the City Lord's Mansion and the Three Divisions. If you guess correctly, there will be no great practitioners who exceed the realm of the Life Star."
Liu Shiyi suddenly said "Oh"...
He reached into his hat with one hand, straightened his seat, and said awkwardly: "I heard that there are things like post stations in the ordinary people. If you travel, you can pay the deposit, rent a horse at the post station, and return the horse to the next place."
Ning Yi looked at Liu Shiyi seriously. He looked at this innocent guy with a piece of glass on his body. He was sure that the other party was not a person who would carry silver with him. It was a miracle that he could successfully reach Tiandu from Jianhu Palace.
He couldn't help but wonder, "Where did you come from?"
Liu Shiyi said aloud: "First take a boat, cross the Li River, then rent a horse, come to Zhongzhou, and then return the horse, and walk all the way."
He quickly added: "Along the way, I, Liu Shiyi, did not owe anyone any money."
"Didn't owe any money? Who was the last person who paid for you?" Ning Yi looked at Liu Shiyi with a strange expression.
Liu Shiyi's eyes were a little dazed.
He shook his head and said sadly: "It's a man named Xiaojiu, who is dead."
Ning Yi patted Liu Shiyi's shoulder and explained: "The reason why I don't rent horses from the post station is because it takes a long journey along the way, which is much more compact than the itinerary when you go down the mountain. The post station's horses can't withstand such a large load and are not fast enough. Although the escort agency's horses are irritable, they are suitable for long distances. To put it bluntly, they are durable."
Liu Shiyi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ning Yi... did you go around the world before?"
Ning Yi shook his head and said, "Damn it, when I came to Da Sui, I have been to two places, one was in seclusion in Xiaoshuang Mountain and the other was practicing in the Tiandu Imperial City. The first time I walked out, I realized that the air outside was purer than the Emperor."
The girl wrapped her hand around Qingye and pointed to the highest point in Yangping.
"Maybe it is the reason." Pei Fan said seriously: "The Hongfu River flows through Yangping, and divides one into one, flows backwards on Yangping Mountain, one side of the spring and the other side of the waterfall, flows backwards and rinses under it."
The Yangping House is not high, and the highest thing you can see is the "Yangping Mountain" in the city.
It was too late, and the dusk was cool and blew.
The waterfall in the distance is filled with steam and misty.
Liu Shiyi sighed softly: "The sun rises and sunsets, the moon rises and the moon sinks, the mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water falls out. Looking at the distance from the waterfall of Jianhu Palace, it is still a bit less momentum, but the artistic conception is comparable."
Liu Shiyi laughed at himself and said, "When I was sitting under the waterfall and watching the wall, I ignored this kind of scenery."
Ning Yi looked at Liu Shiyi meaningfully and said, "When Xu Zang fell to the realm of escape, he fled from the East to the West, and then from the West to the East. Although he was an escape, he was actually traveling through the Great Sui Dynasty and traveling around the world. He told me that you should not just stay in seclusion. Practitioners need to keep their feet on the ground. You might as well measure the world of the Great Sui Dynasty on foot to see if the mountains and rivers are reflected in your eyes and what is in your heart."
