The storyteller who walks the rivers and lakes

Chapter 74 Gathering in Lushan Town

Xingyi Mansion is located in the south of Yan County, facing the sea in the east and Shanhaiguan in the south. It is the closest place between Yan County and Daqin Pass.

Because many caravans in the Central Plains buy special products outside the customs in this Xingyi Prefecture, so this is the most prosperous state capital in the entire Yan County.

In addition, it is also because it is close to Shanhaiguan and there are Daqin cavalry stationed here, so compared to the chaos in Yanbei and Liaodong, this place is obviously more orderly, and various caravans rarely encounter bandits when they come and go.

There is a large mountain near the coast in the southeast of Xingyi Prefecture, named Lushan. According to legend, the emperor of the ancient human race divided Shenzhou into twelve states, and each state sealed a mountain as the town of a state, that is, the place for ancestor worship. Lushan It was named the Zhenshan Mountain of Youzhou in the north.In the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Huang named Lushan one of the five mountains and five towns.

This is also the seat of Dongyi and Sushen Kingdom, and it is one of the birthplaces of witchcraft.However, after the rise of martial arts, witches gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and now they occasionally appear, but they are just lucky to get some superficial inheritance of ancient witches, and they are just bluffing and deceiving in the rivers and lakes.

However, because witches' methods are too mysterious, and some have become evil due to continuous inheritance and evolution, many people in the world have a lot of hatred for witches, and even think that they are all demons. The inheritors of shamanism who are capable also dare not show up in this world.

There is a small town outside Lushan, named Lushan Town.Originally, this place was just a barren place that no one cares about, but because of a piece of news, this Lushan town suddenly became a place more lively than the state capital.

People from the rivers and lakes with knives and swords kept coming in and out of the town, making the originally simple villagers of Lushan Town become cautious, lest they accidentally offend these evil stars and bring disasters to themselves.

On this day, two young people came to Lushan Town again.

However, unlike those vicious Jianghu people, these two people wore green cloth robes and Futou, and they looked like ordinary scholars at first glance.

Beside him is a boy in gray cloth with a book basket on his back, who looks like the bookboy of the young man in front of him...

These two people are naturally Lu Fei and Zong Jue who came all the way from the land of Yanzhong.

However, Zong Jue at this time is completely different from the young warrior in white clothes like snow before. With his appearance and temperament, even acquaintances may find it difficult to recognize him.

"I said, what are we doing here? Most of the people here haven't got a map, don't know the exact location of the Nalu Mountain ruins, and are planning to wait here to try their luck. Why don't we go straight into the mountain?"

Zong Jue dissatisfied with Lu Fei somewhat awkwardly.

You know, he has been dissatisfied with his attire for a long time.

Although no one would pay attention to him as a little book boy along the way, he always felt that it was very shameful to appear in front of people like this.

"Damn it! I think that my disciple, the young master of Chiyun Peak, who is a stubborn and dignified disciple of the god-melting realm, Nima is now acting as a book boy for someone. If those bastards on the mountain know this, they will laugh at the dead young master!"

Lu Fei naturally knew what this guy was thinking, but he didn't seem to realize it. After hearing Zong Jue's complaint, he smiled and said: "There is no rush to enter the mountain. After all, there is still some time before the ruins are opened. Now there are gathered here With so many Jiang Hu people, it is also convenient for us to inquire about some news, isn't it? Don't you want to make sure who our opponents are in the future?"

Zong Jue lowered his head and thought for a while, and felt that what Lu Fei said was also reasonable.

After all, those who can get the map of the ruins in the rivers and lakes, except for the two lucky guys, must have fallen into the hands of powerful forces. When the time comes to win the treasure, they must be the disadvantaged party. It's good to make some preparations.

"Then what should we do now?" Zong Jue looked around dissatisfied.

"It's just a small town. I don't think there's even an inn. Now that so many people from the rivers and lakes are pouring in, how can there be a place to stay? You don't want us to live in the wilderness, do you?"

Lu Fei paused, and before Zong Jue could react, he raised his hand and knocked him on the head.

After the bang, Zong Jue immediately screamed and hugged his head, looking over with anger.

Lu Fei's face darkened, and he said coldly: "What? Forgot what we said before? Outside, what should you call me?"

Zong Jue's face twitched, and he barely suppressed the anger on his face, then he saluted Lu Fei stiffly, and said bitterly: "Young master, it's a small mistake!"

"Well, I'm still sensible. Then follow me, young master..."

"you……!"

Looking at the arrogant Lu Fei in front of him, Zong Jue almost didn't bite his silver teeth into pieces.

He thought bitterly in his heart: "You bastard, wait for me, one day I will get back even the principal and interest!"

In this way, the two walked into the town all the way, although they unexpectedly found that there was actually an inn here, just like what Zong Jue said.At this time, there are hundreds of martial arts people in the whole town just entering, so there are no rooms for a long time.

Not only that, but many people even live in houses rented by townspeople, and there are still many people who don't have houses to live in.

This also led to the occasional fighting in the town these days.

Of course, there are those who want to bully the townspeople for their houses.

But now there are many martial artists gathered here, and many of them have chivalrous hearts. Naturally, they will take care of this situation.

What's more, this kind of bullying ordinary people by force is despised by many warriors, so many warriors spend a lot of money to fight for a room...

"Hehe, this actually made the people in the town a small fortune."

Hearing what the innkeeper said, Lu Fei smiled lightly.

Zong Jue next to him was not in his current mood, and said impatiently: "My son, don't talk about these useless things now, what should we do next?"

Lu Fei ignored him, but pulled the shopkeeper aside with a smile and whispered something.

Seeing this, Zong Jue rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then scanned the lobby.

At this time, it was already lunch time, and the entire lobby was already filled with warriors holding sharp weapons, gathering in twos and threes, talking quietly.

Frowning, Zong Jue understood the reason why Lu Fei must come here.

Although this inn is too small to accommodate many people, but because this is the only place in the whole town that can provide food and drink, many warriors will go here to eat.

This is also the reason why it is easiest to inquire about news in such restaurants, inns and other places.
