Chapter 774: City Tour and Fun
Li Changxiao returned to the clinic. The Body Washing Festival was still lively. People bathed themselves in the morning and paraded through the streets in the afternoon. Inside and outside the city, in the streets and alleys, there was a lively and prosperous scene.
Li Changxiao thought that he could take this opportunity to go out for a walk, so he closed the door of the medical shop and wandered on the street. He had been living in Xingbang City for some time. Although the city was bustling, it was not very interesting to him.
His character meant that he was destined to have difficulty staying in one place for long. To put it nicely, he was uninhibited, free and unrestrained. To put it bluntly, he was destined to be a wanderer. Although the appearance of Li Tiansheng and others did not make Li Changxiao angry, it was not a good thing. He left the city and went somewhere else to get some fresh air.
The carriage roads in Dayu were wide and straight, almost connecting all the cities. Traveling by car was more convenient than in the Lingtian and Chitian dynasties. As long as the carriages were fast enough, one could pass through several large cities in one day and return at night.
Li Changxiao left Xingbang City, rented a carriage, and drove along the mountain roads, where he saw a rare sight. The city was prosperous, and outside the city there were many pedestrians, shops, and stalls.
Driving along the road, you can see that there are often local markets around the wide road. There are tea, cakes, farm tools, clothes, etc. for sale in the local markets.
It is a market formed spontaneously by nearby villagers. The things there are much cheaper than those in Xingbang City. Some things can even be exchanged without money.
Li Changxiao was very interested in a hoe. The hoe was black all over, but it saved a lot of effort when hoeing the ground. With one hoe strike, the soil was dug out like fire meeting water, creating a big hole.
Li Changxiao saw that this black hoe, although simple in structure, was just a wooden pole and a hoe, but it had a mysterious power inside. The hoe was mixed with "earth-fearing gold", so it could dig the soil with a lot of strength.
Seeing this, Li Changxiao suddenly became interested. This small hoe, strictly speaking, can be regarded as a "god's machine". He came to Dayu this time, and his trip was a bit hurried. He didn't know how the lives of farmers and common people were like outside the big city.
Li Changxiao visited several stalls and saw many civilian cranes. Farmers and common people were used to them. Although Li Changxiao was very curious, he did not buy any. He did not have to do farm work, so he did not "waste the natural resources".
After driving the carriage out of Tushi, we arrived in the countryside. Here, there were green grass and red flowers, cranes flying and turtles crawling, which was very beautiful and vivid. There were clear springs, sparkling water, and strange mountains and rocks. Driving the carriage for a while and looking at this scenery, it seemed that all the troubles in the world were thrown behind my mind.
At noon, we arrived at a big city called "Xiangyue City". Near this city, there was a Xiangshan Mountain. The flowers, plants and trees on the Xiangshan Mountain all had a strange fragrance.
As the saying goes, if you live by the mountain, you can eat from the mountain; if you live by the sea, you can eat from the sea. Xiangyue City is backed by Xiangshan Mountain and is rich in women's scented clothes, scented bags, rouge, etc. It is a "gorgeous" city. During the Body Washing Festival, the streets are even more lively, with many women parading in the streets, and the constant laughter of the beautiful women is intoxicating.
Li Changxiao stopped in front of a sachet shop. There were women inside, sniffing the sachets and choosing the right ones. Since Li Changxiao started practicing Taoism, his body has been free of filth and has a natural fragrance. Sachets are really redundant for him. But whenever he sees a sachet shop or stall, he always stops to buy a few. The drunkard's real purpose is not to drink, but to take the opportunity to look at the flowers that are blooming in the world.
In his opinion, this was not much different from accidentally entering a valley full of flowers. However, the valley was beautiful, but one could not stay there for long. Otherwise, bees and butterflies would be attracted, but they would be stung and would not want to pick up petals.
Li Changxiao walked around the city, toured Xiangyue City, and then drove the carriage to the next town. If he saw something new along the way, he would go to the mountains and seas to write down what he saw and heard.
At dusk, Li Changxiao fed the horse, let it eat enough grass and drink enough water, and trimmed its hair. Then he went home and rushed back to Xingbang City in the sunset.
Between the lines.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure sitting quietly on a cliff in the distance, facing the blood-red setting sun, as if waiting for something, or thinking about something. Li Changxiao had seen many strange people and didn't care. But when he looked closely, he saw that the person on the cliff had a slender figure and fluttering clothes. She was a famous woman, and she had a close relationship with him. She was Zhou Qingyu, the head of Dayan Huazong.
So he thought, this headmaster, who has a long life span, deserves the word "young", sitting facing the setting sun, is he prolonging his life? Li Changxiao was immediately curious about what kind of magical method Zhou Qingyu used to prolong her life. Before her spiritual energy was exhausted, her cultivation was already quite high, and she was a cultivator of the Refining Void Realm. After the spiritual energy was exhausted, there were many ways to change the method, but for cultivators of the Refining Void Realm, the most effective one was only "incense". This method did not increase life span, but only slowed down the passage of life span. The end of this method was to extend life span to the maximum extent.
While observing, Zhou Qingyu noticed someone peeping and shouted angrily, "Who are you, little thief!" He jumped up from nowhere and came to Li Changxiao in an instant. Zhou Qingyu saw Li Changxiao's face clearly, and was slightly stunned. Then he shouted, "Are you following me?" Li Changxiao smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by. Do you believe it or not?" Zhou Qingyu didn't want to get too entangled with Li Changxiao, so he looked at him deeply and said, "Leave quickly."
Li Changxiao saw that his deeds were exposed, so he drove away in the carriage. Zhou Qingyu looked at his back, and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Stop!" Li Changxiao pulled the reins, and the carriage stopped immediately. Zhou Qingyu walked over and said, "I heard that you are a good doctor." Li Changxiao said, "It's okay." The image of Li Changxiao and Bian Huo fighting in medicine was widely circulated. Li Changxiao was famous for his medical skills, but not for his reputation as a killer. He thought that if he was too modest, Bian Huo would be unhappy. Considering Bian Huo's reputation, he could only be thick-skinned and accept the "good medical skills".
Zhou Qingyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you have good medical skills, staying in the city to practice medicine is the way out for you. The South China Sea is dangerous, so you'd better not go there to join in the fun." Li Changxiao was immediately surprised, and for a moment he didn't know what this woman meant.
