There is a fairy tower in Baiyun's place

Tianzi number plates can be spent in any shops, inns, and restaurants of Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce without money.

Hearing this benefit, Xia Chaoyang couldn't put it down even more when he touched the jade token.

In the early morning of this day, the sun was just rising, and Baiyunlou after morning exercise was a little greedy, and planned to go down the mountain to eat some street food in the small alleys of Jiangnan Mansion.

As soon as he walked out of the small courtyard, he saw Junior Sister Dongfang, and Baiyunlou stepped forward and said, "Junior Sister, I got up early today, do you want to go down the mountain and go shopping in the streets together?"

"The old streets and alleys are very popular, and they are the most lively in the morning. Now you can not only collect the wind, but also taste the delicacies in the market."

Hearing that you can gather folk songs, Junior Sister Dongfang couldn't help being moved.

At this moment, Xia Chaoyang ran out of the small courtyard full of energy, and said with a jump, "Brother, brother, take me with you. I promise to just obediently eat delicious food and not disturb you and senior sister's singing."

Seeing Junior Sister Xia's excited face, almost drooling, Bai Yunlou couldn't help but secretly sighed. I thought that Junior Sister Xia seemed to have restrained herself a lot recently, but it seemed that she was thinking too much.

It's okay for Junior Sister Xia to be with her. For Baiyunlou, it's a good feeling to have someone to share delicious food with. But in this way, the desire to have breakfast with Junior Sister Dongfang is shattered.

Since it can't be quiet, let's make it more lively. Baiyun Tower pulled up the little fat man who was still asleep, and the four of them walked out of the academy together in the morning sun.

The alley I came to this time is called Zhuangyuan Lane. It is said that there have been three champions in this alley in a hundred years.

The reason why he is famous is because the last number one scholar had a prosperous official career and returned to his hometown in rich clothes. He not only paved the dilapidated road with bluestone, but also repaired the houses in the entire alley.

The people in the alley were moved by his kindness, so they changed the name of the alley to Zhuangyuan Alley.

Chapter 78 What is love

Zhuangyuan Lane in the early morning is really lively, with the sound of hawking, shouting, and the crisp laughter of children. The Qingshi Road in the alley has been cleaned very clean, making it lively and fresh.

There are many delicacies in the alley, such as Zhuangyuan porridge, Zhuangyuan cake, tofu flower, fried cake, and market delicacies.

Having been here a few times, Baiyunlou took everyone to an old shop at the end of the alley, found a wooden table near the street, and led the juniors and sisters to sit down.

Immediately, Baiyun Tower asked Xiaoer to serve several bowls of egg drop soup, two catties of scallion pancakes, two dishes of side dishes, and one dish of hot sauce.

The delicacy that the senior brother ordered was definitely not wrong. Xia Zhaoyang clapped his hands and greeted him, and started to eat first.

While eating, he nodded and said, "This scallion pancake is really delicious...the side dishes are also very crispy, and this hot sauce is...too spicy."

Xia Chaoyang, who was hot and spicy, took a deep breath, and hurriedly drank a few mouthfuls of egg soup before he recovered.

The little fat man on the side was never picky about food, and he ate very deliciously. He said, "Although it is not as exquisite as the academy's, the taste is better than the academy's. It is indeed an old shop."

"Brother, I have an idea. It happens that the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce has a branch nearby. This alley is also well-known. I plan to do some business in this alley."

"Some wealthy households are too far away from this alley. If you arrange a chariot dealer to come over to help buy some delicacies and deliver them to their door, even if the price is slightly more expensive, there should be a lot of income."

Looking at the little fat man, Baiyunlou said with a smile: "Feiyang, you can do it. If you come out to have breakfast, you can see business opportunities. You are indeed a talented person in the business department of the academy."

"That's a good idea. If I'm a rich man with money, I can eat all kinds of delicacies in the city at home with a little money. It's really worry-free and convenient."

The little fat man chuckled: "Brother Bai, you are not only a rich man with money, but also a very rich man."

"Senior brother, which restaurant's food you want to eat, or even the specialty of that county, just say it, and it will be delivered to you soon."

Baiyunlou was surprised and said, "Is it really so fast? Could it be that if you want to eat melons from the desert sea in the future, they can be delivered within a day or two?"

"One or two days is too long. In a short time, it may be delivered in less than half a stick of incense." The little fat man said very proudly.

"So fast, oh, it turns out that the small five elements are used to teleport the magic circle." Bai Yunlou instantly knew what the fat man was thinking.

"However, the academy is so far away from the desert sea, it's okay to send a message with a small teleportation circle, but it's too expensive to send a honeydew melon."

The little fat man smiled and said: "The price is relatively high. The land and characters department in the chamber of commerce has already tried it. A page of paper can be sent thousands of miles, and the consumption is very small. A spirit stone can be sent hundreds of times."

"An object the size of a honeydew melon can only be teleported for more than [-] miles. From the desert sea to the academy, it needs to be teleported at least six times. If it is consumed all the way, it needs almost a low-grade spirit stone."

"This low-grade spirit stone is worth a hundred taels of silver if it is exchanged for a mortal thing. However, compared to senior brother's net worth, with a mine lode there, such a low-grade spirit stone is really nothing."

"In this case, this little spirit stone is nothing, but it still seems too extravagant." Baiyunlou was talking, seeing Junior Sister Xia's eager expression, thought for a while and said: "Luxury is luxury, but you can't lose money to the Chamber of Commerce." .”

"If you really want to use the teleportation circle, the consumed spirit stones will be directly deducted from my account."

"In addition, for every spirit stone consumed in the future, an extra spirit stone will be donated to Junior Sister Xia's Charity Hall account. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Xia Zhaoyang smiled happily. Not only can he feast on delicacies from all over the world, but also the money of the Charity Hall will be settled.

He didn't hear Junior Sister Dongfang speak for a while, Baiyunlou turned his head to look, but saw Junior Sister Dongfang was eating vigorously.

I saw Junior Sister Dongfang holding the scallion cake with chopsticks, lightly dipped it in the chili sauce, and then took a small bite, it was very sweet.

Thin beads of sweat ooze from the tip of the nose, it can be seen that it is not lightly spicy, but I still dip it in the hot sauce from time to time to eat, I didn't expect that Junior Sister Dongfang actually likes the taste of the hot sauce in the market.

With a slight sense of spirituality, Junior Sister Dongfang raised her head, and Senior Brother Bai was looking at her with a smile on the opposite side.

She couldn't help but blushed and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious chili sauce. It tastes very similar to my mother's, so I can't help being greedy."

Seeing Junior Sister Dongfang blushing and talking softly to him, Bai Yunlou suddenly felt that this was the way he liked Junior Sister.

If the fairy is a little more fireworks, it becomes close and warm.

Baiyunlou felt relieved for a moment, beckoned to the waiter in the shop, "Xiaoer, bring me another catty of scallion pancakes and a plate of hot sauce."

Eating simple market delicacies, watching the people coming and going outside the window, the alley is still the same alley just now, but it seems to be completely different from a moment ago.

The sounds of joking, greetings, and hawking seem to be full of human touch.

The memory deep in my heart suddenly flooded out. The morning when Qingyu first separated into the sea of ​​consciousness was also at the end of the alley. At that moment, the young man seemed to realize something, but he didn't have the feeling of real enlightenment.

At this time, Baiyunlou finally knew that what he liked was not only the taste of the world of mortals, but also the more or less, more or less strong or weak human feelings.

The alley in my hometown county, those people, those fogs, those memories are nostalgia, and what is the love of the blushing junior sister in front of me, Baiyunlou is a little confused, but also a little hopeful.

All of a sudden, Baiyunlou had the inspiration to paint, and painting means blending emotions into paintings. Feelings of loneliness, fireworks, love, and all emotions can be included in the painting, and the image of all living beings can be obtained.

Taking a deep look at Junior Sister Dongfang, Bai Yunlou said: "Suddenly I have the desire to paint, Junior Sister, Senior Brother, go back to the small courtyard first."

After Dongfang Junior Sister nodded, Baiyunlou got up and left the small shop. After a few steps, she left the alley and headed towards the gate of the academy.

Looking at his senior brother's back, Xia Chaoyang said angrily, "I agreed to invite someone to eat breakfast, why did I leave suddenly, and the money hasn't been paid yet."

Junior Sister Dongfang smiled and said, "Senior brother suddenly realized something about painting. It must be because of a sudden inspiration that he hurried back to the academy. Maybe when we go back, we will be able to see Senior Brother Bai's paintings."

"Oh." Xia Chaoyang was still not in high spirits, poked the scallion cake on the plate with his chopsticks, and seemed to have lost his appetite. After drinking two mouthfuls of egg drop soup, he shouted to go around the city.

The little fat man wrapped the remaining scallion pancakes in paper, tied them up with a string, and held them in his hand. Who knows when this senior sister would remember and yelled to eat them again.

The two accompanied Xia Chaoyang to the market in the city, passing by an antique shop, Xia Chaoyang went in and picked left and right, and saw a flute made of sapphire in a corner.

Chapter 79 Ink into a Painting

The jade flute is very simple, but the price is too high, and it has been dusty for some time.

Xia Chaoyang picked up the jade flute from the wooden box, and felt it was warm to the touch, and he liked it very much, so he asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up.

The little fat man took the initiative to pay the silver taels, but now that senior sister Xia is also the big owner of the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce, and her net worth is also extraordinary, these silver taels are naturally ignored.

After leaving the antique shop, the fat man asked: "Senior sister Xia, why did you suddenly buy a jade flute, do you want to learn the rhythm?"

Xia Chaoyang, who was in a better mood, smiled and said, "I bought this jade flute for senior brother. Last time I went to Desert Sea, senior brother helped me a lot. I always wanted to buy something convenient for senior brother. Today I finally came across one. Eye-catching."

"At the bottom of the lake, I also helped my junior sister block the sword, why don't I give my senior sister a handy item?" Dongfang Ziyan joked to her junior sister with rare interest.

Xia Zhaoyang was a little dazed, and said, "Senior Sister, why don't you go back and pick another one for Senior Sister?"

Before Dongfang Ziyan could reply, Xia Zhaoyang said in surprise: "Senior sister, why are you making fun of people today, haha, it seems like I'm back when I was a child." He said to hug senior sister.

Dongfang Ziyan dodged, and tapped Junior Sister Xia's forehead with her finger.

It was only then that Xia Chaoyang remembered that he was still dressed as a man, but his mood improved, and he regained his giggling appearance.

On the way back to the academy, Baiyun Tower walked leisurely, strolling in the courtyard, and it was far away in a blink of an eye.

Along the way, most of Baiyun Tower's spiritual consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, the sea of ​​memory was like a dream, and the sea of ​​fog churned.

Pieces of turbid clouds are like ink, changing with the intensity of spiritual thoughts, and finally a scene of the city and old alleys under the early morning mist, and everyone in the memory seems to come alive.

Back in the small courtyard, Baiyunlou walked into the abbot instinctively, sat in front of the desk, spread out the drawing paper, studied the ink and drew, drawing like a god without any hesitation.

The spirit and the mind are united, a cloud of water mist gathers and disperses at the tip of the pen, and the thick ink faints.

The lines drawn with a few strokes are touching, and the meticulous painting is equally touching. The shallow mist and the curling smoke are like wisps of nostalgia lingering in the painting.

Waiting for the last stroke to be made, Baiyunlou relaxed his mind and looked at the painting, slightly absent-minded.

For the first time, the memory deep in the sea of ​​memory is presented on the painting, as if time has been intercepted, and a feeling of homesickness emerges vividly in the painting.

Raising his hand to put the painting into the Sea of ​​Consciousness Barrier, Baiyunlou remembered that he left his junior sister and younger brother and went back to the small courtyard alone, and couldn't help laughing slightly.

Thinking back to just now, Junior Sister Dongfang ate a plate of hot sauce, and she rarely showed a bit of shyness to make herself feel better. What kind of feeling was this, Baiyunlou suddenly wanted to draw the moment when Junior Sister blushed.

Picking up the pen again, Baiyunlou took a piece of drawing paper and began to draw. The beautiful face of the junior sister, frowns and smiles, and shy eyes gradually appeared on the pen.

After a long while, the painting was completed, and the charming junior sister in front of him, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, with seven parts of fairy spirit and three parts of girlish air, Bai Yunlou was in a daze for a while.

There was a sound from the small courtyard, and Baiyunlou came back to his senses, put away the paintings, pushed the door and went out.

Seeing Baiyunlou walk out of the room, Xia Chaoyang put the wooden box on the stone table and asked, "Brother, is the painting finished? Let me show it to my sister."

Bai Yunlou smiled and said, "Of course the painting is finished."

After speaking, he took out a painting from the Sea of ​​Consciousness Barrier, just took it out, and felt something was wrong before unfolding it, so he hurriedly took back the Sea of ​​Consciousness Barrier, and took a new painting.

Secretly heaving a sigh of relief, Baiyunlou unfolded the painting in his hand, and the scene of the city and streets spread out in front of the three of them.

The three of them looked at this painting full of human fireworks, as if they had entered that alley, their ears seemed to be full of voices, and their noses seemed to linger with fragrance, a faint sense of homesickness floated in their hearts.

After a while, Junior Sister Xia came back to her senses and said, "I'm a little homesick, and I don't know how my mother has been doing these past few months."

Looking at the painting, the little fat man looked longingly and said: "Brother Bai, is this the alley in your hometown? It's so humane. If you have time, you must take your junior for a stroll."

"I'll take you back with me when I'm free. If Auntie knows that I've made so many friends in the academy, she will probably be so happy from ear to ear." Bai Yunlou said with a smile.

The little fat man said proudly: "In a few days, Luoshui County will also open a branch of the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce. It will be much more convenient for Brother Bai to contact his family."

"That's not bad, Feiyang really has a heart." Baiyunlou replied.

Dongfang Ziyan looked at the painting for a while, and seemed to realize that a simple water movement technique was used by Senior Brother Bai to perfection.

Looking at the smudged mist and the veil-like cooking smoke, Dongfang Ziyan seems to have seen the painting technique of her senior brother at will.

Such as opening the door to a painting art, the accumulation of this period of time finally ushered in the harvest period.

After telling the three senior brothers what she had learned, Dongfang Ziyan went back to her room to paint.

Looking at the back of Junior Sister Dongfang returning to her room, she couldn't help but sigh, this Junior Sister has watched the mountains, rivers, plants, birds, insects and fish for more than half a month, and finally it's time to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

Sensing someone tugging on his sleeve, Baiyunlou turned around and came back to his senses, seeing that it was Junior Sister Xia, who held a wooden box in her hand and handed it over as if offering a treasure.

Baiyunlou took it casually, opened it, and found a sapphire flute lying inside.

Picking it up and looking at it for a while, I couldn't help being interested, this jade flute turned out to be a top-grade magic weapon, and asked in surprise: "Junior Sister Xia, where did this jade flute come from, it turned out to be a top-grade magic weapon."

"Ah, it's still a magic weapon." Xia Chaoyang couldn't help being startled, and then said happily: "That's great, I just bought it at an antique shop by the side of the road."

"This jade flute is specially given to senior brother. I didn't expect it to be a magic weapon. Senior brother Bai is quite satisfied, hehe."

Baiyunlou stroked the sapphire flute and said with a smile: "It's rare to receive a gift from my junior sister, so I'm naturally satisfied. The junior sister spends so much money, if there is anything I need my brother to help, my brother is duty-bound."

Seeing Senior Brother Bai accepting the jade flute without any hesitation, Xia Zhaoyang smiled happily and narrowed his eyes.

Tilting his head and thinking for a while, he said, "Brother, I have practiced a lot of calligraphy recently, so I'll show you some."

After speaking, he went back to his room to pick up a handwriting practice copy, and handed it to Senior Brother Bai.

Bai Yunlou stretched out his hand to take it, and took a closer look. The handwriting is beautiful, and the writing is quite neat. It seems that Junior Sister Xia is very interested in learning calligraphy recently.

Can't help but nodded and said: "Junior sister has made great progress in calligraphy recently. I heard that junior sister practiced calligraphy for the purpose of engraving the magic circle. I don't know if I still think about it now?"

Hearing that senior brother Bai praised him for his good handwriting, he suddenly smiled, and quickly replied: "It's for the seal carving of the magic circle runes."

Baiyunlou was quite relieved by Junior Sister's reply, and took out a stack of rune rubbings from the self-knowledge sea barrier, and handed it to Junior Sister Xia.

Chapter 80 Alchemy Furnace

Bai Yunlou said: "If junior sister is free, you can copy these rubbings. Not only can you get familiar with the magic circle, but you can also practice your hand in advance. If you are proficient, your calligraphy will also improve."

Xia Zhaoyang quickly took it, and responded crisply.

Baiyunlou was quite patient today, picked up Junior Sister Xia's handwriting practice copy, and carefully flipped through it page by page.

Pointing out from time to time, Xia Chaoyang listened very seriously, occasionally peeking at his senior brother.
