Chapter 398 Ten Miles of Heavenly Show (Third Update)

Yingcheng, the county seat of Lingjun, is the most prosperous place in Jiangdong. It has the Misty Mountain with endless singing and dancing, the Yue Lake where people look good even with heavy or light makeup, the Tianxiu River where cosmetics flow for ten miles, the Louwailou where the fragrance of wine and vegetables spreads halfway through the city, the Puxianzhai with prosperous incense, the Woxinguan where people read Huangting in a thatched cottage, the Shuluyuan where people are famous in Jiangdong, the Yuehuamen where people are chivalrous and righteous, and the aristocratic families that have been passed down for thousands of years.

This is the place where the number of Jiangzhou exterior scenes is second only to the state capital Guangling, and it is known as the most beautiful place in the world!

It is a typical Jiangdong city, with waterways extending in all directions, and is known as a three-vertical and four-horizontal net of heaven and earth. When boating on the river, willows on both sides of the river are drooping, and the water surface is rippling, with white walls and black tiles and copper-green door knockers, which is beautiful beyond words.

Even though it is very cold in winter, such beautiful scenery is hard to see. However, as the New Year is approaching, the two banks are decorated with lights and lights, which are brilliant and connected with the reflection in the water, just like the Milky Way descending from the sky, which is another kind of beauty.

Meng Qi is dressed in black, with a long sword on his waist, sitting on a small boat. In front of him is an old man with gray hair rowing the oars. On both sides are extremely luxurious building boats, which are either downstream or upstream. From time to time, there are women's laughter, the sound of zither and harp, the sound of guessing, and the faint fragrance of powder wafting over, a night-time beauty.

This is the ten-mile beauty of heaven, the ten-thousand-foot wind!

Meng Qi looked around with interest, and from time to time he looked over the building boats and looked at the houses on the shore, admiring the style of the water town.

Building boats sometimes passed by on both sides, and the heroes on the railings hugging women were reluctant to look down, allowing Meng Qi to get a unique tranquility in the hustle and bustle.

"Old man, I'm here for the first time in Yingcheng. Are there any places I must visit?" Meng Qi sat in the middle of the boat, smiling at the old man rowing the boat.

The old boatman laughed and said, "It depends on what you like. If you want to pay homage to Tathagata, you have to visit Puxianzhai. The monks there have great magical powers and great compassion. If you want to respect Yuanshi and enjoy a carefree life, take advantage of the early morning to step on Beishan and drink a pot of tea at Woxinguan. Isn't it fun?"

"Old man, I didn't expect you to be so eloquent and elegant. Everyone says that Jiangdong is a prosperous place for humanities. I just believe it today." Meng Qi was stunned at first, then laughed.

The old boatman's conversation was like a Confucian scholar who was well-read.

The old boatman laughed at himself and said, "I just read a few days in Shuluyuan when I was young. If you admire the words of the saints, Shuluyuan is also a good place to go. In the Middle Ages, saints preached here and left behind profound words. Before Shuluyuan declined, it was always called the holy place of Confucianism together with the Zhoujun Wang family." "I get a headache when I hear the words of the saints." Meng Qi smiled and teased, "I am quite interested in food." "Food? You must go to Louwailou. Beggar's chicken, Yuehu vinegar fish, and Yanyu wine are all world-famous delicacies and wines. Even if they don't suit your taste, tasting them can also give you more topics to talk about." The old boatman introduced it immediately, and then talked about many delicacies in the streets and alleys, speaking sincerely and with great devotion. It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and found that Meng Qi had been smiling all the time, without any impatience. "Brother, are you a hero in the rivers and lakes?" He looked at the distinctive long sword on Meng Qi's waist. "You have a good eye, old man." Meng Qi praised exaggeratedly, with a smile on his face.

The old boatman sighed: "I have lived for most of my life, and this is the first time I have seen a hero like you."

"What do you mean?" Feeling that the old boatman was praising him, Meng Qi was immediately refreshed, sitting upright, listening to the praise, and smiling slightly reservedly.

"Let's not talk about the masters of the outside world. Some other heroes are arrogant and unwilling to look at people straight in the eye. Some are vulgar and think that swearing is bold. Some are indifferent and indifferent. Ordinary things can hardly disturb their mood. Some are elegant and polite. There are so many kinds. It is rare to find a hero like you who is easy-going from the heart and always smiling." The old boatman said sincerely.

Since boarding the ship, he found that this young man always smiles, sometimes because of the beautiful scenery and the prosperous world, sometimes because of the topic of interest, sometimes he keeps smiling, sometimes he speaks humorously and smiles teasingly, getting along with him makes people feel better.

"Haha, my master always says that I have a lively personality." After being praised, Meng Qi smiled sincerely.

At this time, the sound of stringed instruments and noise came to his ears. Looking up, he saw a building ship passing by. Several young men dressed as knights were playing the game of blindfolding and hugging people with the head of the prostitute. Relying on their good hearing, they succeeded repeatedly, attracting delicate voices and shouts.

"I didn't expect that it was close to the New Year and the weather was cold, and Yingcheng was still so lively, with so many people from the rivers and lakes..." Meng Qi sneered.

The old boatman said, "It's just this year. It's not like this in the past. He Jiu, the 'Invisible Sword' who ranks first on the Human List, held a banquet at Xingyun Manor to entertain several other masters on the Human List. This is a recent sensation in the martial arts world. It's inevitable that the heroes and heroines will come to join in the fun. Even if they just watch the battle, they will benefit a lot. Look, those are the ones on the boat." He raised his chin. "Haha, I didn't expect the Xingyun Banquet to be so popular." Meng Qi sighed a little vainly. "Of course, stepping into the outdoor scene is another world. Flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, sitting in a place, rarely rushing on the road and riding horses, traveling in the martial arts world, it is not something we ordinary people can see. Even if the masters are enlightened, I am afraid they have little contact with it. Therefore, the competition for the Human List is the real event in the martial arts world, which can attract eight out of ten martial arts learners." Born in an era of prosperity of martial arts, the old boatman couldn't help but reveal some interest when he mentioned the martial arts world and the Human List. He coughed, paddled his oars, and created ripples. "I've always heard about how powerful the masters from the outer world are. I've long understood that they are not ordinary people."

Huh, is this how ordinary people view the outside world... Meng Qi was a little dazed, his eyes still on the building boat.

On the building boat, a young man in a purple robe was drunk and rushed to the railing to vomit. He happened to find Meng Qi looking at him, so he took advantage of the drunkenness and shouted: "What are you looking at? If you have the ability, charter a boat yourself and go see your mother!"

Meng Qi smiled and didn't say anything, letting him curse.

The old boatman took a breath: "Young man, you are really different from ordinary heroes. If it were them, face is important, and they would have to fight at this time."

Really well-mannered!

Meng Qi smiled and said: "As a person, if a wild dog barks at you, you can't bark at it or bite it, right?"

"That makes sense. How can you be as knowledgeable as a wild dog? This is the style of a master." The old boatman suddenly realized that this metaphor was good.

Hearing that Meng Qi nodded and looked serious: "So I took a brick and throw it far." "Ah ..." The old boatman was unknown, and his expression was blank. The sound of scolding suddenly stopped. "That's it." Meng Qi smiled brightly and exposed eight white teeth. Hurry up and urge the old man to change the direction, chase the boat in front, and plan to beat each other fiercely. With the sails and favorable wind, the building ship soon caught up with the small boat. Several young men were so excited that they rolled up their sleeves and were about to jump into the river.

Just then, the boat passed a stone arch bridge, and several people passed by on the bridge.

One of them was dressed in black and holding a long sword. His features were straight. He was not outstanding, but his temperament was tough and heroic, like a sword out of its sheath.

Meng Qi didn't pay attention to the young men behind him. His eyes swept over the people on the bridge and suddenly froze. So strong!

The man with the sword turned his head suddenly and met Meng Qi's eyes. Each of them reflected the other in their pupils.

"Long River of Sword Qi" Yan Chong?

"Crazy Sword" Su Meng?

There seemed to be a sword aura between the two people's eyes. The river behind Meng Qi made a splash, raising a huge wave and hitting the building ship.

Meng Qi smiled and bowed his hands.

Yan Chong nodded, and said as if he were an equal to his opponent: "See you at Xingyun Manor."

After saying that, he turned around, woke up his dazed companions, and stepped down the stone arch bridge.

His companions, both men and women, kept looking back, all with astonishment in their eyes.

Is this the "Crazy Blade" Su Meng?

Several drunken young men were splashed by the waves and suddenly sobered up. Thinking back to the confrontation between the two just now, their hair stood up, and they quickly told the madam to turn around.

"Young man is really a master." The old boatman sighed.

Meng Qi accepted the praise reservedly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something in his heart and turned to look at the other side of the building ship going down the river.

This building ship was ordinary, with no obvious features. At present, the lights were bright, and a curtain was lifted in a room, revealing the person inside.

She was dressed in a white dress, ethereal and beautiful, with deep eyes reflecting the lights, like eyes containing the starry sky, dazzling and moving, as if she was affectionate and smiling.

Gu Xiaosang, the demon girl!

She actually dared to come?

Gu Xiaosang looked at Meng Qi with a smile. Next to her stood a little girl who was a few years old. She had a round face, delicate and beautiful, and was wrapped in a red cotton jacket.

The building ship was moving very fast downstream. The two ships were about to pass each other. Meng Qi was ready to yell, "Gu Xiaosang, the demon girl is here!"

At this moment, Gu Xiaosang pulled the little girl.

She immediately looked at Meng Qi and shouted crisply:

"Dad!"

Meng Qi opened his mouth and had forgotten what he was going to shout.

The building ship blended into the river of boats ahead and lost its trace. The old boatman rowed the oars, unaware of what had just happened. Just as he was about to speak, he found that the young man was stunned.
