Chapter 1 - Purple Moxian Flowers
"Luo Yu, you stinky boy, are you lazy again! Hurry up and buy some coarse oil down the mountain and come back." A burly man in a tattered coarse cloth robe shook the big iron pot and shouted at the young man who was bored basking in the sun outside. "Don't you want to eat tonight, you stinky boy!"
The boy was fifteen or sixteen years old, about 1.5 meters tall, black and thin, but his dark little face had a pair of smart eyes, and he was wearing a washed white coarse cloth coat. The young man got up from the straw chair helplessly, and replied weakly, "I know......" Then, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, "Dad, do you want me to help you ask for Widow Zhang's soy sauce by the way?"
"Get out!" saw an iron spoon fly out of the house. The young man flashed the iron spoon sideways, picked it up from the ground with a grin, and threw it back. "Let's go, let's play soy sauce" jumped out the door.
The boy's name is Luo Yu, and he has been dependent on his father Logan since he was a child.
I heard my dad say that he picked it up when he was very young. When I picked it up, it was white and tender, and the little face was pink, which was like being black and thin now, but Luo Yu comforted himself instead, let's call it healthy color.
I heard my unlucky father say that his grandfather's grandfather was still a big chaebol in the past, and he was in charge of a lot of fields, and his grandfather's grandfather was still a big swordsman. As for why the unlucky dad Logan could only live in a broken grass house halfway up the mountainside, the young man asked at that time, Logan was a backhand and scolded and left.
This continent is called Golan Continent, which is ruled by the Rut Empire, and there are countless small principalities under its empire. In the year 1322 of the Imperial Calendar, a rebel army led by the Duchy of Goth fought a 100-year war with the Root Empire. During this period, countless talented magicians, swordsmen, and samurai came into being.
In the end, the entire Golan continent was divided into 5 pieces due to an earth-shattering war, and the pattern of the entire continent was changed. The Root Empire existed in name only, and the Root royal family's control over the mainland was weakening day by day. Since then, for 3,000 years, not many people have remembered the earth-shattering war of that year, and everything they know has gradually been eroded by time and returned to the netherworld.
The mountain where Luo Yu lives is called Wanghe Mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain is Moyu Town. The town is located at the very edge of the Western Continent, and there are many merchants who come and go in the town, and most of them come to collect a flower called Mo You. The flowers are six-petaled, growing on cliffs, which has the effect of calming the nerves and repelling gas, and can also repel mosquitoes. Many wealthy people in the city like to use this flower in the sleeping house, and the effect is excellent. The town used to be called Xiaohe Town, and since then, it has gradually become Mowei Town, and it has gained some fame.
Luo Yu usually lives with his father Logan by picking Mo Worry flowers. Due to the surprisingly good effect of Mo Worry Flower to calm the nerves and condense the qi, the number of flower pickers has gradually increased, and the Mo Worry Flower is becoming less and less, but the price is getting more and more expensive. Later, Logan simply took Luo Yu from the town to the mountains and built a small grass hut, although the grass house is small, it has everything, kitchen, side house, yard and so on..... And so on.
.......
The town, a grocery store.
The young Luo Yu crossed his hands on his hips, his dark little face, and he was spitting and bargaining with the grocery store owner. The grocery store owner's surname is Xu.
Here it is necessary to say that the nobles of the entire Golan continent take the family as their surname, and the commoners take the single character as their surname, so as to distinguish the difference between nobles and commoners. For example, the Gretel family, who controls the town, is headed by Gretel Foss, who is a baron. Civilians have a surname like Luo Yu.
Lao Xu looked at Luo Yu with an expressionless face, and threw a barrel of coarse oil in front of Luo Yu.
"Okay, okay, you stinky boy has to talk nonsense for a long time every time you come, today I added one or two more to you, hurry up and get out of here!"
Seeing this, Luo Yu smiled and thanked him, and prepared to go home with coarse oil. Suddenly, an old man fell in front of him, and a basket of flowers was scattered on the ground. Luo Yu knows this old man, and like them, he relies on picking flowers and earning some money to make a living, but this old man has a withdrawn personality and never talks to Luo Yu and them. When Luo Yu saw the old man fall, he quickly put down the coarse oil in his hand and reached out to help the old man.
"Are you alright, old man?"
The old man shook his head, Luo Yu patted the dust on the old man's body, and when he picked up the back basket, he looked at the back basket curiously. found that there was a purple Mo Yu flower in the back basket, Mo Yu Hua is generally white, this purple Mo Yu flower, Luo Yu saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but look at it twice. This look found that this purple Mo Yu flower emitted a strange purple light, the young man's eyes were instantly attracted by the purple light emitted, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart that wanted to eat this purple Mo Yu flower.
"Can you sell me this flower?" Luo Yu said with a ghostly expression, looking at the old man with longing eyes. The old man pointed to the purple Mo Yu flower in the back basket, as if he did not notice the difference between this Mo Yu flower. looked at Luo Yu suspiciously.
The old man shook his head, and Luo Yu's face was full of disappointment. The old man opened his mouth, and his voice was hoarse, "Take it!" After speaking, he stuffed the purple Mo Yu flower into Luo Yu's hand, carried the basket on his back, and disappeared into the crowd.
Luo Yu watched the old man's back disappear into the crowd in a daze, came back to his senses, looked at the purple Mo Sorrow Flower in his hand that emitted a strange purple light, swallowed his saliva, looked left and right with his little head, and found that the people around him didn't seem to be able to see the Mo Sorrow Flower in his hand, suppressed the pounding little heart, took two steps to put the coarse oil in his hand, and turned his head and walked briskly in the direction of the small grass house at home.
Back to the small grass hut and had dinner.
"Daddy, I'm going out to eat"
"Where are you going to play at night, the stinky boy washed the dishes for me!"
"Got it!" After speaking, Luo Yu ran to the top of Wanghe Mountain as soon as he slipped away. In the small grass house, Daddy Logan scolded and went to wash the dishes.
Wanghe Mountain is located in the west of the town, and there is a small river at the foot of the mountain, hence the name Wanghe Mountain. There are many trees and weeds on the mountain, and almost no one comes to this mountain except for the flower pickers. Luo Yu ran to the top of the mountain out of breath, looked around to make sure that there was no one, took out the purple Mo Yu flower from his arms, raised it above his head, and carefully studied it through the moonlight.
Luo Yu swallowed his saliva, and the thought of wanting to eat this Mo Yu flower became stronger and stronger in the bottom of his heart. Thinking about the adventure story that my father used to tell him, thinking about the great swordsman, thinking about the handsome magic wand wielding magic staff that I would become a magician in the future, maybe this is my own adventure?
"Die or die!"
The young man has a big heart, his face is horizontal, his eyes are closed, one hand is clenched into a fist, and the other hand is about to put Mo Youhua in his mouth. The flower is not big, about the size of an adult's fist, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, Luo Yu suddenly remembered what to do if it was poisonous if he ate it like this, wouldn't it be better to let the father white-haired person send the black-haired person. Thinking of this, Luo Yu felt that it was safer to find a small animal to try it, so he did it when he thought of it. There happened to be a few cubs born to a large yellow dog at home. After picking up the flowers, Luo Yu hurriedly ran back from the top of the mountain.
......
Somewhere on the top of the mountain, a figure quietly watched the young man hurriedly run down the mountain when he was about to eat Mo Youhua. This person is the old man who gave Luo Yu a purple Mo Sorrow flower.
The old man sighed, and said slowly in a hoarse voice, "The arrangement of fate, how easy it is to jump out, you will eventually understand, this is the beginning, but also the future..."
