Chapter 865 Arriving at Ten Thousand Immortals City
Seeking Change, Year 709, late January, early February. Whenever Li Changxiao arrived at the Laiqu Inn, he would slow down and stay for a few days. He would watch the wind and snow, pick plums and drink wine, and enjoy the leisure time. However, this time, he saw that the lobby was deserted and dilapidated. The inn, which was not prosperous in the past but had never lost its popularity, was completely deserted and dusty, so he lost interest in staying for long.
When the wine was finished and the wind died down, Li Changxiao continued on his way, heading north. Along the way, he crossed the river and climbed the mountains. He entered the Dingyu. The Dingyu had several continents with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but few people were there. The four northern regions were vast and sparsely populated. But if you ask the whole world of Fuyao, which place is the most prosperous.
It was definitely not Dayu or Lingtian... but the Wanxian City under the Wanxian of Dingyu. The place where the pursuit of change had gathered for seven hundred years. Countless cultivators came and went, and all arrived here to discuss reform and seek a livelihood.
For various reasons, Li Changxiao never fully participated in the Conference for Change.
Seven hundred and ten years of seeking change, January 3rd.
One day, an inconspicuous swordsman came to the prosperous Wanxian City. Li Changxiao saw the towering city walls, strict guards, and orderly city, which was very lively and prosperous. He was really refreshed and shocked by the prosperity in front of him.
Although Wanxian City is a city, it is larger than a country. It is built around Wanxian Peak. No matter where you are in the city, you only need to look up to see the towering peaks. It arouses endless reverie, wondering if there are immortals living there. Indeed, there are immortals living there.
The "richest man Li" was the leader in the city, followed by Su Qingmei of "Wanhe Villa". The properties of the two families could be seen everywhere. It was the festive festival that was celebrated every ten years. It was Li Xundao's intention. The monks wanted to change, and the people celebrated. On the one hand, it could develop the economy of the city, and on the other hand, it could set off the atmosphere and let the people have fun together.
Later, the conference for change ended. But the festival celebration continued. When Li Changxiao arrived in Wanxian City, it was the time for the annual conference for change, so he happened to run into the festival celebration and saw the lively scene of the people's joy.
He looked at the crowd, not knowing what to say. He finally took a deep look at Wanxian Peak, thinking that if he had any questions, he would go and ask them in person. He then spent some of his spare money to rent a simple guest room.
Li Changxiao stayed at the "Haohao Inn" under Li Xundao. The name was very simple, but the owner was really black-hearted. He cursed him twice. The money he saved along the way was only enough to stay for more than seven or eight days, and it didn't include daily meals and breakfast.
Looking back... this inn is not just a century-old shop. It makes so much money every year, and the wealth is really unimaginable. Li Changxiao has a wide range of experience, but he has never seen so much money.
Although it is expensive, the facilities are quite complete. The decoration is not luxurious, but it is simple and clean, and it is comfortable to live in. Li Changxiao lay on his back, thinking silently in his heart... Every ten years, the Change Conference is officially held, usually on January 10th of the tenth year. Today is January 3rd, and there is still seven days left.
During these seven days, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the city. The most prosperous place in the world is Wanxian City. Li Changxiao has been to many places and stayed in many towns, but he has never stayed in Wanxian City for a long time.
He was very curious about this city. He slept until the evening and was suddenly awakened by the sound of fireworks. He saw someone setting off fireworks outside the window, and the firecrackers bloomed in the sky, which was amazing.
Li Changxiao knew that today was a festival, but it was not yet dark, so although the firecrackers looked nice, they were set off too early. He smiled suddenly, thinking that the naughty child with many hands was impatient and secretly lit the fireworks and firecrackers early.
At this moment, he was probably discovered by his father, who rewarded him with a meal of bamboo shoots and fried meat. The firecrackers also aroused Li Changxiao's interest. He stretched and walked to the street.
The streets of Wanxian City are paved with black stone. It is tougher than bluestone, dirt-resistant, and smooth. Looking around, the streets are neat and clean, and the wheels of the carriages passing through the streets rarely bump. Wanxian City has no curfew, and the night is as lively as the day, with many merchants and vendors on both sides.
After walking for seven or eight miles, we saw a row of willow trees with catkins fluttering in the wind, and next to them was a green lake. The scenery was beautiful, with children playing under the trees and an old man fishing by the lake.
Sometimes the old man finally caught a fish, but the naughty jugglers could not stand the old man's smug look and secretly put the fish back into the lake. The old man was so angry that he grabbed a naughty boy, clamped his body with his legs, and spanked him wildly.
For a while, there were bursts of howling. There were cries and shouts and angry curses. Li Changxiao thought it was funny, but he thought the child should be taught a lesson. He saw a stone stool under a tree and sat on it. He sat on it and watched the naughty boy get beaten.
After fighting for a while, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman came hurriedly. They should be the naughty boy's parents. I thought there would be a big fight. After the middle-aged man and woman understood the situation, they turned their spearheads to the naughty boy at the same time.
When the old man was tired of beating the child, the man grabbed the child. Perhaps because they were of the same blood, the man was even more reckless. He tore off the child's pants and slapped him hard. The child cried and screamed, but he was held under his armpits and could not struggle.
Finally, he gave in and said he was wrong, he was wrong. The old father finally calmed down. But as soon as he put him down, the naughty boy spit at the old man and cursed him for being old and stubborn.
This time it was the middle-aged woman's turn. In her anger, she didn't care about the child's face. For such a naughty child, no matter the occasion, she should teach him a lesson. The middle-aged woman was even more ruthless, asking the child's father to find a stick and beat him without mercy.
The child now knew he was wrong and begged for mercy sincerely. The couple obtained the old man's consent and forgave the stubborn boy. They should have said goodbye, but Li Changxiao looked at the scene and found it so vivid that he laughed a few times.
Others may not mind this smile, but the naughty boy is the leader of the children in the surrounding streets. He is usually very arrogant. Although he is young, he is very proud. Being laughed at like this, he immediately got angry and rushed over to hit him in the head.
He then kicked and stomped with all his strength. Although the boy was young, he was very strong. Otherwise, how could the old man barely hold him with his legs? If he was a little older, I'm afraid the old man would not be his opponent.
But Li Changxiao was tall. He gently pressed his fingers against the child's forehead. The child's arms and legs were short, so no matter how hard he punched and kicked, he couldn't even touch the edge of his clothes.
