Chapter 282 Linglong Tower
There was no inn near the city gate. Following this spacious street that could run sixteen horses, Li Huowang and others walked for half an hour and finally found an inn.
"This place is really crazy. If a cow pulls a poop on the street, he will be fined ten coppers! How can I control this cow if it poops?"
Zhao Wu, who was in charge of money, was still brooding about what happened before.
"That's right, this cow dung can be used as firewood! I brought them here to give them gifts! They even have to pay a fine! What a fuck!" Lu Xiucai on the side was catering to them.
"Okay, since you go to a place, you have to abide by the rules of the place. Come in, you can sleep on the bed today, have a good rest." After Li Huowang finished speaking, he walked in.
As soon as he entered the inn, Li Huowang felt lucky that he had asked the magistrate of Pi County to clear the way. This place actually had a way to stay in the inn.
"Hiss~ Little Daoist, this inn actually charges money for water. They must be so poor! What's in this isn't tea, it's mountain spring water!"
Lu Zhuangyuan hugged the gourd-shaped teapot in his arms with fear.
Li Huowang, who was looking through the map and was familiar with the layout of the entire Daliang Kingdom, looked up at him without saying anything.
"Hey, old man, I can see that the people in Daliang Kingdom are really not as good as us. At least in our place, drinking water is free."
Lu Zhuangyuan carefully placed the ceramic teapot in his hand on the table and said with emotion.
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach growled. In order to get to the city before dark today, he didn't even eat.
Hearing the growl of the other party's stomach, Li Huowang turned to look at Bai Lingmiao, who was adjusting the quilt beside the bed, "Are you hungry? We'll do it when we get back. Let's eat first."
"Little Taoist Master, why don't we just eat the dry food we brought with us? Even drinking water in this city costs money, so eating may be expensive."
Li Huowang put the map in his hand on the table, "It's expensive. You've been working hard for so long, why can't you enjoy it? Go and get all the Lu family members to come and have something good to eat today."
As soon as they heard that they were going to eat, everyone immediately became energetic. A large group of people came out of the inn in a hurry.
As the sky gradually darkened, Li Huowang and others walked up the stairs to the top floor of the five-story restaurant.
Standing on the high-rise building, with a panoramic view of the entire Yinling City, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
The scenery downstairs was so overwhelming that they couldn't even take a look at it.
Li Huowang, who had already experienced a lot in later generations, did not pay attention to this at all. After seeing that there were no Taoist temples and temples in the city, he was a little uninterested.
"Senior Brother Li, look what that is! It's so beautiful! It looks like a tower made of ceramics!"
Ceramic tower? Li Huowang looked up and couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in the distance. Bai Lingmiao's words were not an exaggeration. It was indeed a tower made entirely of ceramics.
The top of the high tower is covered with colorful glazed tiles. The tower body is completely snow-white, and the unique navy blue lines of the blue and white porcelain are like several green dragons flying from the first floor to the top floor like dragons and phoenixes.
Even the bells on the side of the tower are coated with a layer of gold. They sway gently in the breeze, and the low bells slowly sway from inside, adding a touch of solemnity to the exquisiteness.
"This tower is so beautiful." Li Huowang couldn't help but say it. He said it sincerely. Even he would not be able to see this kind of wonder in future generations.
Upon hearing Li Huowang's praise, the scholar in Tsing Yi who was also watching the scene clicked open the paper fan in his hand. He said very proudly: "That's natural. This is the exquisite tower in Yinling City. There is only one in the entire Liang."
After saying that, he glanced at Gao Zhijian's patched shoes and the other people's outfits that were obviously incompatible with the environment, and a trace of contempt suddenly appeared on his face.
Li Huowang pointed to the Linglong Tower in the distance and asked the scholar, "Whose place does that belong to? Is there anyone practicing in the tower?"
The scholar suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, what you said is really interesting, little friend. Yes, there are indeed people practicing in this Linglong Pagoda."
Li Huowang, who is particularly sensitive to these things, couldn't help but become nervous, "What? Is there something like Zhengde Temple in this city?"
Li Huowang narrowed his eyes slightly. The Linglong Tower in the distance became clearer and clearer in front of him, and some women inside came into view.
The fat women in transparent gauze were twisting slowly, and their jade-white bodies were all covered with navy blue lines.
If they stood there motionless, they would look like bottles of extremely exquisite blue and white porcelain.
Just at this time, the scholar who was holding back his laughter continued to say, "In this Linglong Tower, the way of men and women is cultivated, hahaha, that Linglong Tower is actually a place of fireworks, hahahaha~!! "
"Why do you Daliang people build a brothel in a tower?" Gouwa, who was confused, couldn't help but ask.
Other spectators on the side chatted. "Hey~! This is wrong. There are so many places to look for flowers and willows, why is the exquisite tower the best in the world? What you want is a strange word."
"As long as you have money, you can even go to Linglong Tower and select a girl to decide what tattoos they will have on their body. I heard that last time, a man got drunk and tattooed a bastard on the face of the girl he bought."
This topic immediately attracted others to join in, "More than that, I was lucky enough to go there once. The girl's flesh in Linglong Tower feels like cotton. It's extraordinary, extraordinary."
Hearing the words around him becoming more and more explicit, Li Huowang looked at the Linglong Tower in the distance with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Sure enough, the Daliang Kingdom is worthy of being a beautiful country. It really put its effort into studying this kind of thing."
At this moment, Li Huowang's eyes moved down and he happened to see an old beggar lying on the ground next to him.
The old beggar in ragged clothes also had navy blue and white porcelain on his face, but the wrinkles cut the stripes apart, as if they were broken.
Everyone loves good porcelain, but once the porcelain is broken, it is worthless.
"Senior Brother Li, the waiter has already served the food. Let's go eat. Don't wait for the food to get cold."
Li Huowang looked at the Linglong Tower in the distance again, turned around and sat back next to the round seat and started eating.
When it comes to things like eating, Daliang only has many more ways to eat than to play as long as he has money.
"The green branches of Qin mulberry trees are low: egrets fly in the desert paddy fields, orioles turn from the overcast summer trees, phoenixes swim on the phoenix platform, and the yellow cranes are gone and never return."
Accompanied by various elegant names, various dishes with delicious flavors and colors are served to the table.
Looking at the lifelike phoenix carved from a radish in front of him, Gao Zhijian retracted his extended chopsticks.
"Eat, what are you waiting for?" After Li Huowang put down his chopsticks, others started to take action.
Immediately afterwards, no one spoke, and there were only the sounds of swallowing and chewing. Even Li Huowang's current sense of taste couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Seeing the rude scene, other tables showed a hint of disdain, but Li Huowang and others didn't care at all.
The sky gradually darkened, and corresponding to the stars in the sky were the lights on the ground.
"Senior Brother Li, look! There are lights in the sky!"
