Sanshan County is located at the southeastern end of Huangzhou, close to the state border, and its location is quite special.
Although there is the word "mountain" in the name, Sanshan County is actually a vast plain land with fertile soil, suitable for growing grains and suitable for ordinary people to live. The county has a population of nearly 10 million, more than half of whom have moved in from other places.
Just like the name of the county, Sanshan County certainly has mountains, but there are only three mountains.
These three adjacent mountains are located in the central area of ??the county, more than a thousand feet high, and are arranged in a "one" shape diagonally from north to south. The one on the south side is called Nanshan, the one on the north side is called Beishan, and the one in the middle is called Zhongshan.
The county seat of Sanshan County is built around these three adjacent mountains and is called Sanshan City.
Based on the geographical location, with each mountain as the center, Sanshan City is roughly divided into three areas, namely Beishan City, Zhongshan City, and Nanshan City.
In the early morning, the sun has not yet risen, and most of Sanshan City is shrouded in light morning mist.
On the complicated circular streets, there is an endless stream of tourists and pedestrians. On both sides of the road, there are houses, inns, restaurants and other buildings.
Under the mist, people and things seem to be covered with a layer of curtain, making them look a little misty.
This morning, after many days of traveling, Bian Yao and Mu Qingge finally arrived at the north of Sanshan City.
Arriving on a busy street, Bian Yao first found a pawn shop and sold a space bag at a low price in exchange for two thousand bixiang fruits to use as expenses for the trip.
After leaving the pawn shop, the two of them joined the crowd and walked all the way to Beishan.
Foreign tourists, who like to enjoy themselves, if they want to experience the unique fun of Sanshan City, they will probably do three things: climb Beishan Mountain to soak in the springs, go to Nanshan Mountain to taste tea, and sit in Zhongshan Mountain to drink.
Bian Yao and Mu Qingge had no intention of soaking in any springs, and they were not willing to spend money on it. However, when they came to a strange place, they had to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy it.
The North Mountain is about 1,600 feet high. The mountain is gentle, the vegetation is lush, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. There are more than a dozen spring pools of different sizes in the mountains, including hot springs and cold springs, all of which are controlled by the city lord's palace.
The two of them followed the bluestone mountain road and meandered up the mountain, enjoying the mountain scenery leisurely along the way. Walking halfway up the mountain, you can see beautiful clouds and mist, floating around the mountain, filled with wind but not dissipating.
Compared with Green Lake City in Shuxian County, the scenery of Sanshan City has a unique charm.
The two spent more than an hour visiting Beishan and then left Beicheng District.
??Go south from Beishan, follow Hengshan Avenue, and walk more than ten miles to Zhongshan.
Near noon, the two of them arrived at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain and headed straight up the mountain.
There are some unique and elegant wine houses and restaurants built on Zhongshan Mountain. Guests can sit on the railings, drink and eat, and enjoy the view of Yunlan Mountain, which is very comfortable and pleasant.
"However, the food and wine in the mountains are extremely expensive, and ordinary mortals cannot afford them. Most of the people who come here are practitioners, and the main ones are dream walkers and dream crazy people.
The two of them circled around the mountain road, sometimes diving into the hidden trees and rocks, jumping and climbing.
On the west side of the mountainside, about 800 feet away from the foot of the mountain, there is a long corridor built on the edge of the cliff. The corridor is winding and suitable for viewing. There are wooden tables and stools in the corridor, and there are several cottages at the entrance of the corridor, which serve as kitchens and wine storage rooms.
It happens to be noon, and the aromas of various wines and foods are wafting in the wind, which is really tempting.
At this moment, some guests were sitting in the corridor, talking and laughing constantly, making it very lively.
Bian Yao and Mu Qingge stopped. They said a few words, then quickly walked into the corridor and found an empty table to sit down.
The arrival of the two young men attracted a lot of people's attention at first. The diners turned their heads and glanced at Bian Yao before focusing on Mu Qingge.
Sword cultivators are very rare in Mengxian Continent, so sword cultivators are more likely to attract attention wherever they go! Although the sword behind Mu Qingge has been wrapped in blue cloth, based on its outline, it is obvious that it is a sword!
The waiter in Tsing Yi was busy and sharp. When he saw a new customer arriving, he hurried forward and handed over the wine recipe with a smile, and said: "Two guests, let's see what we want to order?"
Bian Yao stared at the menu for a few times, discussed it with Mu Qingge, and finally ordered two bowls of white rice, four local specialties, and a jar of tea wine.
The so-called "drinking wine" in Zhongshan refers to tea and wine.
Sanshancheng¡¯s tea wine is brewed from fresh tea and mountain springs. It has the aroma of tea and wine. This wine is mellow and refreshing. Drinking it makes you intoxicated, but you will not get drunk. Instead, your mind will become clearer. It is very famous in the local area.??
Not long after, the waiter brought the rice, dishes and wine one after another.
In the promenade on the edge of the cliff, the two of them sat opposite each other at the wooden table under the eaves, enjoying the fine wine and food with great interest. From time to time, they turned their heads to admire the scenery. The refreshing mountain breeze blew against their faces, and they felt very comfortable!
In the clouds and fog, there were occasional geese flying, and Mingshan passed.
Not long after, three more middle-aged men came to the mountain corridor, walked past Bian Yao and Mu Qingge, and sat down at the empty table not far from the two of them. Judging from their attire and aura, all three of them are practitioners.
The waiter hurriedly came forward and quickly left with the menu. The three men took advantage of the gap to talk.
The first person to speak was a big man in yellow. He had several scars of varying depths on his face, and he seemed to have experienced a few dangerous incidents. Just listen to him say: "This rat infestation occurs only once every ten years, and the city lord is so generous. We should seize the opportunity to make a lot of money, and it is best to kill all the alien rats!"
The man in white sitting opposite smiled and said: "Those two-headed rats are not ordinary strange beasts. They are extremely poisonous. A scratch of their claws can kill half of your life. One bite will basically make you whimper! This In just a few days, you and I followed the boss and made a profit of two thousand, so we should just accept it as soon as possible."
The big man in yellow looked dissatisfied and said continuously: "One tail can be exchanged for fifty Bixiang fruits. How can you not take some risks for such a good thing? If it were normal, two thousand Bixiang fruits would cost It takes three or four months to earn it!¡±
The man in white sighed: "No matter how much you make, you still have to live to spend it! In the past few days, there have been many casualties!"
The man in yellow suddenly sneered and said: "Those dreamwalkers who don't know whether to live or die are greedy but not capable enough. No matter how many people die, it's not surprising! They thought that they could easily surround and kill the two-headed strange rats with just the number of people, but they didn't know that. Stupid behavior will more easily intensify the ferocious spirit of the alien rats, and even increase the toxicity!"
The man in white paused and said: "In response to the damage caused by the tide of alien rats to crops and grains, the city lord only sent out a small group of city guards. He mainly relied on us casual cultivators to kill them, but there were too many alien rats. , this disaster continues to spread, how long will it last?"
"The reward notice posted outside the City Lord's Mansion clearly states that each rat tail can be exchanged for fifty bixiang fruits for the first ten days, and then every fifth day, the number will be reduced by ten. Anyway, I think at least I have to work for the first ten days!" The big man in yellow suddenly turned to look at the other person and asked: "Boss, what do you think?"
The man known as the "boss" was wearing a gray suit with a calm face. After a moment of reflection, he said: "The rat tide hit just a few days ago. There are so many of them. There is no need to spend time looking around. Take advantage of this opportunity to do it again." A few nights. The alien rats eat the grains, and the main victims are the ordinary people. As practitioners, we should do our part for the people of the county! Although this process has certain dangers, with our skills, As long as you treat it with caution, there shouldn't be any big problems."
Next, the three of them talked about something about the alien rats, and then changed the topic.
Bian Yao slowly put down the cup in his hand, and he heard all the conversation between the three people just now. He was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at the person opposite and said, "This tea and wine taste good, but the price is a bit expensive!"
Mu Qingge put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, picked up the wine jar on the table, poured wine into her own glass, and said, "What else do you want to say?"
"I think after returning to the valley this time, I don't know how long I will be trapped in it, so I should buy some more things to take back. The things here are a bit expensive, and we don't have much money. We can just buy dozens of jars of Lingguo wine. Well, why not spend a few days to earn some money for use." Bian Yao said slowly with a smile on his face.
"You mean the alien rat they call?"
"Of course! According to what they just said, one strange rat tail can be exchanged for fifty bixiang fruits, and if you kill a hundred, you can earn five thousand, which is enough to buy a lot of things!"
¡°In four days, we must rush to Shu County!¡±
"OK!"
After a while, the two paid the bill and left the lounge. They did not continue to visit the mountain scenery, but quickly turned back down the mountain along the winding stone road.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
Just after noon, on Chaolan Avenue in the main urban area of ??Zhongshan, pedestrians were constantly coming and going, and there were many practitioners in different clothes, walking in a hurry.
Located outside the city lord¡¯s palace in the middle of the avenue, there is a public pavilion dedicated to publishing announcements.
At this time, many practitioners gathered in front of the reward list.
Bian Yao and Mu Qingge squeezed into the crowd, read the contents on the red notice carefully, and then hurriedly left the city and headed southwest of Sanshan CountyRush away quickly.
