Chapter 93 Loulan in the Dream(1/2)
Under the bright spring light, Li Xiuyuan, who had left his cage, was galloping all the way.
Although it was a bit hard, I still enjoyed it. I greedily enjoyed the rich spring scenery all the way. Looking at the farmers working in the fields, I felt like I was back to the time when I left Fengyun City with my husband for the first time.
There are birds flying in the wind, butterflies dancing among the flowers in Lulian, and bursts of flower fragrance blowing towards your face.
He encountered a life-and-death crisis when he first came to Xuanwu Continent. Now he let himself go, looking at the peaceful scenery in front of him, thinking that one day he would go to live in seclusion in the small town on the Fuchun River.
If you don't enter the mortal world, you won't leave the mountain gate.
Running wildly all the way, I suddenly saw a black city wall appear. Looking closely, I could vaguely see that this city wall was much taller than the original Tianfeng City.
Although it is not as good as the wild Great Wall, it is not much different from Ding'an City.
Looking at the pedestrians and traders lining up to enter the city, Li Xiuyuan led his horse and stared at the extremely tall city wall in silence for a long time. Tianyun Mountain was just a few steps away from losing this majestic city.
Looking at the crowds coming in and out of the city gate, he murmured to himself: "Is this the Loulan in my dream?"
The silent city wall, like the black shirt on its body, calmly stared at this disciple of Tianzi from another world, Tianzi Tianyun Mountain, and the only answer to him was the two weathered big characters on the city gate.
Tell him that this is the largest city in the west of Xuanwu Land.
When it was finally Li Xiuyuan's turn, the guard guarding outside the city gate took the identity plate he handed over and discovered that the young man wearing a black mask was actually a disciple of Tianyun Mountain.
The serious expression on his face suddenly softened. He looked at him and asked, "Is there anything important you have to do during your trip to Loulan?"
Because Loulan has been under the protection of Tianyun Mountain for thousands of years, even the guards guarding the city couldn't help but ask more questions when they saw him.
"I'm just passing by. I have to go to Daxue Mountain in a few days to see..." Li Xiuyuan explained softly after receiving the iron plate handed over by the guard.
"That's a dangerous place."
Fangwei looked at him seriously and said with a smile: "Even the vendors in Loulan City can only go to Snow White City at most. At least there are very few people going there deep in the snow mountains."
From the perspective of the monks in Loulan City, the Snowy Mountains deep in the Northland are a mysterious place.
It’s not a place where ordinary people would dare to explore.
Li Xiuyuan turned to look in the direction he came from and said quietly: "It is precisely because it is full of dangers that I want to see it."
The guard was stunned, gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are an interesting person... but you have to be careful."
Over the years, Li Xiuyuan has become accustomed to life in the mountains and forests, so when he entered Loulan City before nightfall, he expected to see a bustling city with the lights on.
But I didn't expect that at just one hour, there would be very few people on the street and it would look deserted.
There were no lights on the street as expected. Even the lights in front of the merchants that hadn't closed yet only illuminated the stone slabs a few feet outside my house.
This is the most prosperous city in the west, but it doesn't look like what he imagined.
Li Xiuyuan led the horse and walked quietly on the slightly deserted street, looking at the two lanterns hung in one shop after another, with a dazed look like a wanderer returning home.
He thought that if Long Hongchen was following him now, he would naturally be clamoring for pastries and snacks to buy them all.
If Xiao Longer were here, he would inevitably learn from his sisters to look at rouge, and then look at those legendary so-called perfumes brewed with dew and flowers.
As night fell, a faint fragrance wafted in. I didn't know it was the fragrance of flowers, but it was the smell of perfume wafting from the shops, which made the young man who had just entered Loulan a little intoxicated.
Walking slowly, the long street finally became a little cleaner.
However, at this time, Li Xiuyuan was neither looking for snacks nor buying perfume and powder. He was looking for an inn.
After running all the way, he wanted to take a good rest.
While I was thinking about it, the horse behind me gave a joyful cry. I looked up and saw a lantern hanging on the side of the street, with the word "Ruyi" written on it.
"Ruyi Inn?"
Li Xiuyuan muttered, it was obvious that he had seen this name somewhere.
When a guest came out of the night, the early morning waiter in the inn greeted him and waved: "Does the guest want to stay in a hotel or eat?"
"Give me a quiet guest room and cook two side dishes..."
Handing the reins to the man in front of him, Li Xiuyuan walked inside.
...
Listening to the spring rain in the small building all night, Li Xiuyuan rarely slept in.
Leaning against the bedside, I stretched out my hand to open the wooden window and felt a breeze blowing by. I closed my eyes and smelled the faint fragrance of flowers in the wind, wondering if this was also the season of brilliant flowers in the Apricot Blossom Valley.
I also thought that if the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, my mother and mistress would be ready to steam apricot blossom cakes.
Did Mu Mu, who was staying in the Phoenix Valley, take Nangong Ruyu to visit her mother, husband and wife in the Apricot Blossom Valley?
What about Song Tianyu who returned to Phoenix Valley? Has Xiaoqing really found her sister?
What he is most looking forward to is whether his sister will become a father and mother to that guy Guan Qiu Ming?
Also, is Xiaobai becoming a father? The two Xiaoqings are suddenly very busy.
After thinking about it, I realize that I am the only one in the world who has nothing to do.
Thinking about the big thing he wanted to do in Loulan City, Li Xiuyuan suddenly came to his senses and decided to go to Loulan City for a walk first.
I had to buy new clothes, boots, and some food.
He couldn't go to the forbidden area of the Snowy Mountains and go hungry. He didn't believe that there were monsters waiting for him in the ruins under the fire. If he encountered a black snake like the Shura battlefield...
It would kill him and he wouldn't even try to take a bite.
After washing up and making a pot of spiritual tea, it was already a moment before he packed up and walked out of the inn.
He went out and called a carriage to take him to the legendary Chen's house.
When the coachman heard that he was going to the Chen family, he looked at Li Xiuyuan who was wearing a mask and said: "The Chen family now is not as good as in previous years. It has been turned into ruins overnight."
"It doesn't matter, you just need to take it with you and find a lively place later. I need to buy some clothes."
Li Xiuyuan, dressed in black, neither looks like a rich man, nor a monk in Loulan City, nor a bandit who robs homes.
In the eyes of the coachman, he was just a child who secretly ran away from home and went shopping in Loulan City with his parents on his back.
The carriage drove away on the stone-paved street. Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, listened quietly to the driver's chatter, but in his heart he was thinking about the fire that burned in the Chen family that night.
If the junior sister hadn't happened to come to Tianyun Peak, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to escape the disaster.
Thinking about it this way, my master has become the savior of the three members of the Chen family.
It seems that even if you change to another human world, this peck and drink will have its own destiny.
Even though he had many imaginary scenes in his mind, Li Xiuyuan was still deeply shocked when the coachman took him to the ruins of the Chen family.
The huge ruins cover an area larger than Shura Village at the foot of Luoxia Mountain. You can imagine how glorious the Chen family was in Loulan City.
Under the plot of foreign enemies and internal thieves, their family was wiped out overnight. Even the Chen family and his wife, who had narrowly escaped death, were unable to come back and rebuild their home.
After staying quietly for a long time, Li Xiuyuan waved his hand and said quietly: "Let's go, take me to the lively market."
Different from the cold night, Loulan is very lively during the day.
And Li Xiuyuan did not buy clothes in the east market and shoes and hats in the west market.
It only took less than an hour for Li Xiuyuan to buy the necessary items under the guidance of the coachman, and also ordered a black and white gown.
The spring rain was pouring, so he dismissed the rickshaw driver. Li Xiuyuan bought an umbrella from a street shop and started shopping slowly along the long street.
This is another world, this is Loulan.
He has never liked shopping, so he stepped on the spring rain on the street, step by step to take in the beautiful scenery of Loulan. When he returns to Tianyu City one day, he will tell the master at No. 47 Tianjie and Yuqiong Pavilion.
Feng Ruyu listened.
Although he still doesn't know how many years it will take before he can return to the place where he lived for two years.
The slanting rain and breeze splashed wet his gown and shoes, making him look like a neighbor's child out for fun, and he seemed to like the feeling of being wet by the spring rain.
I don’t know who cut out the thin leaves. The spring breeze in February is like scissors.
The spring breeze blew the willow branches beside the road, and the raindrops wetted the boy's clothes. When he looked up, he saw a building named Suiyuan on the roadside.
A restaurant? Or a tea house?
Li Xiuyuan looked up at Suiyuan by the river, which reminded him of the Red Sleeve Tower in Fengyun City. How many years had passed, when the memories in those dreams were about to be forgotten.
Putting away his umbrella, Li Xiuyuan entered Suiyuan, went up to the second floor and found a table by the window to sit down.
Before noon, the waiter neatly brought a pot of tea and two plates of snacks and melon seeds.
Looking at Li Xiuxingyuan, he asked: "Does the guest want to eat?"
"Drink tea first." Li Xiuyuan replied quietly, then looked out the window, and the waiter left.
"The chaotic wind blows away the wind and clouds, and the returning birds are frightened and fly away..."
Looking at the weeping willows by the river, Li Xiuyuan sighed. It was the spring banquet that year that allowed the owner of Hongxiu Tower to meet his husband, and then the story of Tianshan Mountain came about.
The strange woman who amazed the city lord's palace with her song finally became his mistress.
Finally, I had a good relationship with my husband. Although my husband was unable to enter the mortal world in Fengyun City in the Five Realms because of this, he got a marriage that was the envy of heaven and earth.
In his opinion, Xia Changfeng and Jiang Ruoyu, who were the emperor and the empress, and later ascended to Tianluo City, were probably not as comfortable as his husband.
I was staring blankly at the misty rain outside the window, when suddenly the building became lively.
To be continued...
