Chapter 104
Li Yan originally thought that the place the other party took him to should be a remote alley with many twists and turns.

Unexpectedly, Taoist Qingyuan just asked him to change his clothes and started to wander around Shuofang City without saying where he was going.

Seeing that he intends to betray him, Li Yan was not annoyed, and enjoyed this rare half-day leisure in a floating life.

As the head of a government, this place is not as grand and magnificent as the Yanjing where he lived in his previous life, but it is sheltered by the Qingyang Temple, and it can be regarded as a place where humanity flourishes.

Because it was a good year, and the autumn harvest season just passed, each household had paid their taxes and still had two spare cash on hand.

Unable to resist the troubles of their own children, at the same time, they deliberately went to the street to grab two pieces of cloth, so as to get a taste of the auspiciousness of this good year, many people came from the countryside to buy in the city, which made this Shuofang city even more lively than before. point.

At the right time, the sun sets to the west, the rough linen is beautiful, and the ladies are piantian, tasting all the flavors of the world.

The city is densely populated, and the accumulated vitality turns into billowing smoke, which shows the atmosphere of a dynasty in its heyday.

His honey, my arsenic.

Being in such an environment, Li Yan only felt that his breath was full of turbidity. Being in such an environment for a long time, although the state would not fall, it would be difficult to make progress. This is the reason why monks do not want to live in the world for a long time .

Halfway through the Jing'an River, the sky is still dim and the color has not yet disappeared, but here, the lights have already been lit, the lights are decorated, and the boats are parading, playing the flute and playing the piano, and the sound of Yingying, swallows and swallows is endless.

There is a gentle breeze on the riverside, but it can't beat the red-burning coals in the boat. Occasionally, a young woman pokes her head out from the half-closed window rail, wearing a light tulle dress, but she doesn't feel the chill.

With a waist of [-], he rode down to Yangzhou on a crane.

Although this is not Yangzhou, the enthusiasm of the poets is not inferior at all.

Just this moment, he has seen more than a group of literati and scholars traveling together in twos and threes.

It's really a downturn in the world, people's hearts are not old!
Occasionally, there were movements from a few painting boats, and it was estimated that drunk guests were jealous, which is normal in this kind of place.

"Brother Dao, the Fangshi you mentioned is not in this kind of place, is it?"

Li Yan suddenly had a certain guess in his mind.

Taoist Qingyuan nodded triumphantly.

The great hermit is hidden in the city, who would have thought that the monk's square city would be placed on a painted boat by the Jing'an River by him.

With Xu Xiuyuan's affirmation, Li Yan also noticed something unusual at this time.

Subconsciously running the true energy, a touch of blue floated into the eyes.

In the middle of the originally calm and deserted river, a painted boat with a large draft gradually emerged.

Seeing the blue light in Li Yan's eyes, Daoist Qingyuan knew well that the other party had seen through his deception.

Immediately, he took out two masks from his bosom, and handed one of them to Li Yan.

"Fellow Daoist puts the square market in the middle of the river, isn't it afraid that some flower boats that don't have long eyes will bump into it and reveal their tracks?"

Li Yan took the mask and didn't put it on immediately, but took the opportunity to express his doubts.

"This matter is easy to say. The old man only needs to ask his disciples to guard the side of the boat. Once someone approaches, he will use magic to make the boatman change the direction imperceptibly."

Li Yan immediately understood.

"Fellow Daoist Shenxuan, fish and dragons are mixed on the boat, please wear a mask, so as not to be watched by interested people and cause trouble for nothing."

Seeing that Li Yan was still playing with the mask in his hand, Xu Xiuyuan couldn't help reminding him kindly.

Li Yan naturally accepts such a mature suggestion from Lao Dao with an open mind, and immediately puts the mask on his face.

Then the two looked at each other, and they both performed Taoism and flew towards the middle of the river.

As the two approached, Xu Xiuyuan raised his hand and struck out a talisman, the thick fog in front of the two suddenly rolled up, and then it seemed as if a curtain had been drawn, and a beautifully painted boat appeared in front of the young man.

In front of the palace door carved with carved railings and jade, there are some people dressed in strange clothes coming in and out.

"Fellow Daoist, please!"

Xu Xiuyuan smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Li Yan. Seeing that the other party landed on the board of the boat, he lowered himself and stood beside Li Yan.

From time to time on the boat, there were maidservants carrying trays back and forth, and when they saw Xu Xiuyuan and the two wearing masks, they were all startled, and bent down to greet them with a blessing.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know why this is?"

Xu Xiuyuan pointed to the mask on his face, and asked Li Yan with a smile.

Li Yan looked up at the monks around him, and saw that some of the masks on their faces were made of bronze, while others were made of silver.

He vaguely remembered that the mask the other party handed him was woven with soft gold thread.

"Could it be that this mask also has a difference of dignity?"

Li Yan already had a vague guess in his heart.

"Of course."

Xu Xiuyuan smiled triumphantly.

"This Jing'an meeting, the old man sent 36 letters of invitation. In addition to you and me, there are two fellow Taoists wearing gold-plated masks, and the other 32 are made of silver."

"If you are a casual cultivator who has found out on the boat by himself, unless he has a high level of cultivation, he can only get a copper mask of the lowest level."

"The casual cultivator with the copper mask can only stay on the lowest floor, and there are two floors above, but only the silver mask and above can enter. With this mask, fellow Taoists, there is nowhere to play on the boat."

Pushing open the boat door in the middle of the pavilion, as Xu Xiuyuan said, most of them are casual cultivators wearing copper masks.

Li Yan secretly inquired about it with the qi-watching technique, but most of them were only superficial, and the highest level was only a casual cultivator at the third level of qi refining.

The monks who used to be aloof, now act like shrewd small traders, setting up small stalls along the perimeter of the pavilion.

In front of these booths, from time to time, one or two monks would squeeze in front of them, take a look or two, or ask a few questions in a low voice, just watching their behavior, most of them failed to reach a consensus.

With Xu Xiuyuan's out-of-body cultivation, suppressing these people is just as easy as turning the palm of his hand!
"Then I will first thank Brother Dao for your kindness!"

Li Yan made a bow, it was the first time he saw this kind of barter market among casual cultivators, and he was quite curious.

Xu Xiuyuan saw that the other party seemed to be wandering around on the ground floor intentionally, so he retracted the invitation to go upstairs, and simply patiently accompanied him on the first floor.

"Brother Dao, if you have something to do, why don't you go upstairs first, and then come up later."

Li Yan knew that with the other party's eyesight, he probably didn't like this low-level thing, and it was all for his own face that he stayed.

"Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? How can a master leave a distinguished guest and go about his own affairs alone?"

"Besides, I haven't seen such a scene for a long time. Maybe I can pick up some dusty treasures!"

Seeing Xu Xiuyuan's insistence, Li Yan simply stopped persuading him, and the two of them walked along the road to shop carefully.
