Chapter 303 Liangzhou City: From Cultural Pinnacle to Speed in the Rain
Inside the skull of the rhinoceros, it's frantically "loading"—the memories of Wuwei have directly entered "holographic projection" mode! This Liangzhou city, hidden in the far northwest, is a veritable "cheat code master" in the world of ancient cities, its skills maxed out to the point that the system is about to issue a warning. It's like having an invincible cheat code in an ancient or modern game, comprehensively "crushing" surrounding cities from culture to economy, from history to local customs—a true urban winner.
Look at this incredible move! Kumarajiva Temple has immediately cemented its image as a leading authority in Buddhist scripture translation. The scriptures it houses are practically an "encyclopedia" of ancient translation, emphasizing absolute professionalism. The Leitai Han Tomb is even more impressive; the unearthed "Flying Horse of Gansu" has become an instant sensation, generating buzz comparable to a viral IP. This kind of artifact going viral would have been a phenomenon in ancient times—they've truly mastered the secret to internet fame!
What's truly amazing is its hidden feature – the China Wine City! Imagine the ancients enjoying skewers in one hand, clinking glasses in the other, watching the desert sunset with a tipsy buzz – that's the epitome of enjoying life! And look at the location and the atmosphere; it completely blows away any trendy Instagrammable spot. It's like God himself was feeding it to them!
As a "loyal fan" of Liangzhou City, the heavens, with a wave of their hand, caused the ancient Silk Road to take a "magical turn" here, directly transforming it into an "ancient logistics hub center".
Every now and then, you can watch a beautiful Hu woman perform a celestial dance, listen to Persian merchants gossip about endless overseas stories... Confucianism, Buddhist art, Western Region customs... all come together in a frenzy of cultural exchange, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere in Wuwei! It's intoxicating!
But who could have imagined that just a moment ago everything was peaceful, and the next second Mother Nature would switch to "violent mode"? The torrential rain poured down like it was on fast-forward, and on the green tiles of Liangzhou Medicine House, water droplets exploded like "silver machine guns," turning the sky and earth into a mosaic in no time.
Chen Lin dragged Yu'er along, running frantically. Her soaked skirt felt like it was weighed down with sandbags, and every step felt like a "mud squat challenge." But she only had one "emergency signal" in her mind—Wen Cheng Si Zi still had a high fever, and if she was any later, her sister might "crash"! Gritting her teeth, she staged a "Rainy Day Speed and Passion" performance in the mud, ignoring the mud and water splattering on her face, her mind screaming: Medicine! Quick! Medicine! We must save Si Zi!
"The steward ordered that no one is allowed to leave the valley during the rainstorm when the mountain is closed!" Three dark figures suddenly appeared from behind the corridor pillars, the items in the medicine baskets at their waists jingling. The gray-clad man in the lead suddenly blocked their way with his sword.
The blade reflected Chen Lin's bloodshot eyes. She abruptly ripped open her wet sleeve, revealing a hideous scar on her wrist that resembled a lurking venomous snake. "Three years ago, I was bitten by a venomous snake while trying to save everyone at the medicine hut. Now, I'm just going down the mountain to get a few herbs, and you're going to just stand by and watch me die?" Her voice was filled with anger and anxiety.
Just then, a dark robe carrying a cool fragrance wafted in. The Valley Master stroked his jade thumb ring, his triangular eyes sweeping over Chen Lin's disheveled appearance, and sneered: "Back then, if I hadn't taken in a stray bitch like you, you would have been fed to the wolves long ago. Now you dare to defy the prohibition?"
Having said that, he raised his hand, the sound of the bamboo whip slicing through the air startling the crows seeking shelter from the rain under the eaves. "Wait!" Yu'er suddenly rushed to Chen Lin's side, the osmanthus blossoms in her hair falling from her hair in the rain. "She's gathering herbs for the patients down the mountain!"
Before she could finish speaking, two medicine apprentices dragged her away like a chick, their embroidered shoes leaving long water streaks on the bluestone slabs... Chen Lin was pressed down next to the medicine grinder, looking at the familiar pestle stained with her own blood, and in a daze, memories of that snowy night three years ago surged back...
