Zhuge Yuan Extra 1: Start
Chapter 1029
The half-old wooden boat cuts the picturesque green water surface like a pair of scissors.
Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, Zhuge Yuan, who was sitting in the boat shed, couldn't help but feel curiosity and expectation in his heart, and ran to the bow of the boat with a book basket on his back and looked forward.
"Young man, be more steadily. If you fall down, I will go down the river to catch you." The owner of the boat who was holding the pole said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, have you not arrived yet?" Zhuge Yuan asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, it takes half an hour for a first-line sky to arrive in Baixia City. You can see it after passing the bend in front. The scale shrimp cakes in Baixia City are unique, but only Jingzhe has shrimps. You may not have any blessing when you go there at this time."
Zhuge Yuan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, heard that he had been half an hour before he sat down at the bow of the boat. The white shoe tips hung on the water surface and drew a water line.
He raised his hands over his shoulders and stretched his waist, "Haha, it's okay, I'm going to study in Baixia. I will definitely be able to eat Jingzhe next year."
"Study? Go to Baixia City to study? Could it be Pinwheel Hall?" The old man's face suddenly showed surprise.
When Zhuge Yuan heard this, he nodded immediately. "Well! It's Minglun Hall, and the master said it was Senior Wang Changxu of Minglun Hall."
"Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing, tsk tsk tsk."
Hearing the admiration in his words, Zhuge Yuan smiled and bowed to the old man, "I'm so proud of it. Do you dare to ask if this Pillowland Hall is very famous in this Baixia City?"
The old man suddenly widened his eyes, "Oh, it's not just famous in Baixia City, but also very famous in the entire Daqi. I can enter by myself, but I don't know where Minglun Hall is?"
"Uh" Zhuge Yuan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. He couldn't say that he had just come out of the mountains.
However, the old man didn't think much about it and began to explain to Zhuge Yuan. "There is a great place for Minglun Hall. As long as you can enter the Pure Land Hall, you don't have to take the exam for the top scorer. You can become an official just by coming out!"
"But I heard that many people don't want to come out to become officials after entering the Pylon Hall. Only a few people come out to become officials."
"Oh? I dare to ask my father-in-law, what are other people who don't enter the court doing in the Pinwheel Hall?" Zhuge Yuan couldn't help but become curious about the place he introduced to his master.
"Learn from learning!" said the father-in-law with a proud look on his face.
"Doing knowledge? How dare you ask what knowledge do you do?"
Zhuge Yuan's words immediately stumped the old man, "How can I know this? I am not a scholar. Look, there is Baixiacheng in front of me. When you arrive at the Pinwheel Hall, you can ask the people inside."
As Zhuge Yuan turned his head, he found a magnificent ancient city gradually exposed from the steep cliffs.
The first thing that caught my eye was the dock, where passenger and cargo ships of all sizes were crowded and moved hard in the dock, shouting constantly.
Zhuge Yuan's eyes moved upward from the dock, and the huge wall of moss with vines merged with the green mountains and waters around him. With today's mist, it was like the scene in the painting.
As the distance gradually approached, Zhuge Yuan saw more details, including the towering towers on the city wall, the ancient sculptures of beasts on the city wall, and the flags on the city wall.
"Wow, this is Baixia City!" Zhuge Yuan said in amazement. This was the first time he had seen such a big city since he was sensible.
When he got on the dock, he ran towards the increasingly huge city wall with the bamboo basket behind him.
After passing the city gate, a bustling scenery came and there were crowds of people on the street. In addition to the shops on both sides, there were also various small vendors arranged in a mess by the road.
For Zhuge Yuan, who had never seen so many people, he could not see all this with both eyes.
As he continued to observe, he gradually learned about the true appearance of some things in his book.
The smell of incense drifted over attracted Zhuge Yuan to look at the shrine in the house on the left. A snake-headed statue in white jade armor stood behind the shaking fireworks, which seemed particularly mysterious.
In front of the statue was a black lacquer god position, with seven large characters written on it, and the position of General Yuli.
The two mothers were kneeling in front of the divine plane, rumbling to the words while shaking the bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube in their hands.
"Well, do the people in Baixiacheng still believe this? The book says no one believes it? What the Master said is really right. It turns out that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles."
Zhuge Yuan continued to walk forward, and when he encountered a place of interest, he stopped to watch from time to time. The wonderful world outside made him regret that he had not come out a few years ago.
While walking, he watched, and when Zhuge Yuan came to his senses again, he found that the sun hanging in the sky was now half of his body hanging on the city wall.
"It's broken, I forgot the important thing." Zhuge Yuan poured all the fried tofu wrapped in lotus leaves in his hand into his mouth, muttered and ran towards Padron Hall.
After visiting for most of the day, he had actually found out where Minglun Hall was, but Zhuge Yuan felt that there was still time, so he would have fun first.
I just didn't expect that time would pass so quickly.
As dusk fell, the walls of Baixia City gradually became dim with the afterglow of the sun set. Zhuge Yuan finally came to the Pillar Hall before the sky completely dimmed.
Just as the door was about to close, Zhuge Yuan slapped the round copper nails on the door with a loud bang. "Wait!"
When the closed-door guard opened the door in confusion, he saw a handsome boy supporting his knees with his hands, gasping for breath.
"Come back tomorrow, time is over." After the guard said with a tough attitude, he was about to close it again.
"Brother, don't! A curfew is about to come. My master has had an old relationship with Wang Changxu from Pyongwon Hall. Please be kind to you."
Zhuge Yuan said as he quickly took out the letter from his master to him from the bamboo basket and handed it over.
The guard took the letter, looked at Zhuge Yuan hesitantly, and then looked at him.
"Wait" the door closed again with a slam.
Rubbing the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, Zhuge Yuan let out a long sigh. He looked up at the huge plaque on the Pillar Hall above his head, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "I really want to study in this place in the future?"
He looked around and saw that no one was there, and he secretly peeked inside through the crack of the door.
Through the crack of the door is a magnificent building with staggered eaves, the corridor columns and walls are clearly visible. There are many swords and bamboos planted around the building, which rustle with the evening breeze.
"cough!"
The light cough behind him frightened Zhuge Yuan. He quickly turned around and saw an old man wearing a black and white robe staring at him with a frown.
To be honest, this person looks very ordinary and is not as eye-catching as the old man on the wooden boat, but his eyes are full of light, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Boy, are your master and Senior Wang Changxu old friends?"
"Huh?" Zhuge Yuan looked at the closed door, then looked at the old man in front of him, and quickly stood and bowed to him.
Before Zhuge Yuan could speak, the other party could not speak out, "Senior Wang Changxu has been immortal for a hundred years. Are your masters really old friends with Senior Wang Changxu?"
At the beginning, I said I would finish writing it all before posting. Many readers said secretly that I was anxious to read it, so I would post a chapter first, and I will post it one after another. Zhuge Yuan's extra chapter is about 5-10, so please stay tuned.
Chapter completed!
