Chapter 1 Stranger
This is a very long commercial street. How long is it? I only know that an ordinary person cannot see the end of the street from the street and the end of the street.
The street is very wide, and can be carried by six four-carriage carriages at the same time.
There are mostly tall buildings on both sides of the street; how tall they are, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are only more than ten feet or dozens of feet. In the eyes of masters who know secret techniques, many cannot be measured by visual observation.
Most of these buildings are shops, selling magic weapons, military arts and classics, martial arts secrets, genius treasures, etc. In short, they are all things that ordinary people dare not think of, and they are not available to ordinary people.
Of course, there are restaurants and inns in these buildings. Any such business is not just a single transaction. There may be another mystery. It may be a secret place for an organization or a place where extraordinary people live. The consumption here is something that ordinary people dare not imagine.
Outside these businesses, some only have their own friends, and some have small street stalls selling other goods; and in addition to paying a certain street management fee to the owner of the street, the stall owner of these small street stalls also have to pay some placeholding fees to the businesses behind them.
This street is also called the never-sleeping street; every shop will light countless lights to make the whole street light as bright as daytime; even those small shops that close early, the lanterns outside the door will be bright all night long and will never go out.
There are two rivers crossing across the street on the street, and there are two huge high-arch stone bridges. However, street stalls are not allowed on this stone bridge, so most of the people staying here are those who watch the wind and the moon.
This street is an ancient city located in the human world, Fengmei Shenzhou, and the Shenzhou Commercial Street in the west.
This street is not only the most prosperous street in Shenzhou City, but also the best public security street.
Here, not only martial arts are prohibited, but also air-opening; if warriors are prohibited, they will generally be wanted by the world of the Shenzhou gang, and this order will be stopped until death; if the ban on air-opening is prohibited, they will inevitably encounter big trouble, and the general result will be endless. People in the entire Shenzhou City know this, and some people in other cities in Shenzhou and other countries know this.
It is said that there was once a master who had reached the so-called false fairy realm in the rumor. He killed an enemy on Shenzhou Commercial Street and was chased by the world-stricken warrant of the Shenzhou gang. He was hunted for a full 100 years and finally surrounded him in a wild land. He was also tortured in the prison for Shenzhou charity for 100 days and nights, and was tortured by life and death rather than life and death, and was relieved of death.
It is also said that this master has not had a good sleep in 100 years. He is wary of chasing his master all day and night. Until the moment he died, he finally smiled and murmured: "I can finally have a good sleep!"
Although this is just a legend, the torture of 100 years of long and lasting pursuit, 100 days of endless life and death are enough to shock those masters who want to be ready to move here.
This is another good weather with clear sunshine and sparse winds. Shenzhou Commercial Street is still full of people. Some of these people come to shop, some come to sell goods, some come to exchange, and some come to appreciate the prosperity.
Just in this day when it was so ordinary that two strangers came to this street. One of these two strangers entered from the south and the other entered from the north.
To the south is a middle-aged man with a fairy-like body and a boy of seven or eight years old; both of them are wearing green clothes; the middle-aged man is carrying a long sword on his back, the scabbard is black, the same color as the hilt, and a light-colored rectangular hat on his head, which makes his brain look square and his figure looks slightly fat; the boy tied up a ball of hair with a bamboo hairpin, and the rest of his long hair hangs behind his chest; the two slowly move forward, and the boy chatters all the way.
The north is also a middle-aged man with fairy style and a slender figure, followed by a seven or eight-year-old girl; the middle-aged man was wearing a white dress, a long sword on his back, the hilt of the sword was all white in color, a foot-long white beard on his chin, and a white jade hairpin on his head, which shows his love for white; the girl beside him was wearing a green dress; one white and one green, giving people the feeling of being a big snowman in a cold winter, placed next to a fresh four-season green; the two of them were moving forward slowly, but they didn't say a word.
"Master, there are so many delicious and fun here, we can enjoy it!" The boy shouted, while looking around the street with excitement.
"Master, we will stay here for a long time, right?" the boy shouted excitedly, and reached out to pull out a string of red candied haws.
"My little master, this is your first time in Shenzhou City?" asked the young man selling ice grain gourds. He was a thin and a little short man.
"Huh, how did you know?" the boy stopped and asked, studying the size of each string of candied haws; his master had to stop.
Not far away is a huge stone bridge. There is a row of tall weeping willows at each end, extending towards the east and west along the wide river bank. The weeping willows are at least ten feet high, and the lush branches and leaves are like a dense grass, falling straight into the river. The small fish in the river often wander under the shade of trees and willow branches. Whenever the leaves fall, the river is full of willow leaves, and slowly heading east along the river water, like a sad autumn song. The weeping willows are shaking gently, and from time to time a cool breeze will pounce on the arms of passers-by, cool and warm, giving people a feeling of relaxation and joy.
At this moment, a gust of divine wind blew into the master's arms, and the disciple listened to the young man's explanation without any sense.
"Hehe, I've been selling candied haws here for seven or eight years. Anyone who has been here has an impression even if he's just one or two sides, but both of them have no impression at all!" The young man said proudly, with a few rays of suspicion flashing in his eyes.
The young man felt that the few rays of suspicion that flashed in his eyes would not be noticed, but he didn't know that it had completely fallen into the eyes of the master, although the master's eyes were not on him.
The master knew that this young man was a spy from the Shenzhou Vocational Gang. He came to this street to monitor the situation every day. Pay attention to the important persons of the organization who came here, which shop he entered, and then passed the information to the contact person. The contact person was sent back to the hall. The useful information of the hall owner would also send someone to the headquarter. Of course, the information of strangers also needs to be recorded. Of course, the personnel after the change of duty may continue to sell candied haws, or other things. The master knew these things well, but he did not say that this was an organization's business. They would do whatever they needed. Some things could be convenient for others and for themselves as long as they did not cause trouble for themselves.
