Cambrian Pass is the world's Xiongguan, the pass is deeply embedded with dangerous peaks, according to the trend of a husband when the pass, retreat can be left and right in the vast abyss valley as a camp, enter can rely on the lush mountains and forests as a barrier, 50,000 iron armor is stationed here, guard the throat of the Nine Provinces Alliance, people of insight cloud: "can overlook the ears of the world!"

In this small city in the pass, although the people are only tens of thousands, but it does not hinder the prosperity of the market at all, all kinds of shops and shops are available, the red sleeves of the Yanliu Lane on Zhangtai Road, the trial table of the martial arts arena swords dance, the sparks in the blacksmith shop burst, the gouache incense shop often diffuses a different smell, the boys and girls of eighteen and nineteen play so far, the naked Han warriors wander the streets, even if it is winter, this prosperous scene has not decreased too much.

"Compared with Yeyang City, this Cambrian Pass is not inferior to prosperity. It's just that the citizens here have a strong sense of war, and they are so blood-soaked that even when I pass by them, I can't help but feel palpitations. ”

There is a restaurant here, three floors, facing the street, the name is very simple, a restaurant.

The man in a dark black cotton shirt sat at a window, staring at the bustling crowd on the street, and sometimes a cold north wind swept his stiff face.

"Xiao Er, serve the wine!" The man held the lamp, poured a stream of sake into his stomach, and suddenly a stinging burning sensation rushed from his throat to his stomach, and he couldn't help frowning his thick black eyebrows, and clenched his fists in pain.

"Here comes the guest officer. The shopkeeper respectfully brought a pot of hot liquor and put it on the table, hesitated to leave, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, you have drunk most of the jar today, or stop there, I heard that there have been bandits in the city in the past two days, and it is not safe to walk on the street drunk and drunk." ”

This is the meaning of thanking the guests, the restaurant is open for business, naturally does not want the guests to have any accidents, and does not want the guests to get drunk and go crazy, so the appropriate persuasion can make the restaurant business a little less troublesome. When the man heard this, he raised his head impatiently, and snorted: "Could it be that you see that I am dressed normally and can't afford to pay for your wine?" The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and apologized: "You misunderstood the guest officer, I was afraid that you would be targeted by thieves if you got drunk......"

"No need, this son has me to take care of him, you go down first. Take two more jars of good wine, and I want the 'valley', not the 'white moon'." But when he saw a young man in a white robe walking slowly, his white and handsome face almost made the woman jealous, and that flirtatious smile appeared on it, and he only felt embarrassed when he looked at it. The shopkeeper took the silver taels handed by the white-robed man, didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly retreated, which was not only a respect for the guests, but even a trace of fear.

The man in the white robe sat down in his robe, facing the man in the black cotton shirt, pouring wine, filling the lamp, and drinking.

"I even suspect that you are a woman disguised as a man, so white and good-looking, many women on the street are ashamed of themselves. The ink-black cotton shirt was caressed by a wisp of northwest wind by the window, and the slightest coolness invaded his sleeves, and he didn't care.

The man in the white robe smiled awkwardly, poured another glass of wine for the man opposite, as if the two had a deep relationship, did not clink glasses, nor persuaded wine, only poured the clear wine in front of him into his stomach, squinted his eyes and savored it, and then said: "I have been to the Red Jade Restaurant, to the Green Ant Shop, and to the Snow Inn, all for drinking, drinking all kinds of wine." I have tasted the famous wine 'Valley' and 'White Moon' in Cambrian dozens of times, and I didn't feel anything new, until one day, the owner of the Green Ant Shop said to me that there was a guest who said that 'White Moon' was too salty. These words made me, a drinker, embarrassed. ”

The man in the ink-black cotton shirt laughed, slapped the table uncontrollably, and shouted as if he was drunk: "It's too salty, too salty, I haven't found wine that isn't salty, but you, the person who is looking for me to drink, are not salty, not salty, where is not salty, it is clearly tasteless." ”

The white-robed man laughed: "Isn't it bad to have a taste?" I don't want to be disliked when I drink, after all, I really don't have anywhere to go except for a few taverns in the small town. ”

"You're a wonderful person. But it's very much to my appetite. Child, serve the wine, I still want the 'white moon'. ”

The shopkeeper tiptoed to the table, said respectfully and slowly, and hurriedly retreated. He scolded secretly, is this still a human being? Is it a human being who can drink three catties of spirits?

People who drink alcohol don't care what is outside, they have to drink the wine first when the sky falls, and they have to finish the wine in the glass before the ground sinks. That is, "if the heavens do not love wine, the wine stars are not in the heavens, and if the earth does not love wine, there should be no wine fountains on the earth." ”

"My name, Lin Han, boasts of being a wine star in the sky, and I poured down three thousand cups of the Milky Way. ”

"My name, Jiang Ming, prides myself on going to Jiuquan, and the whale sucks the Yangtze River and never returns. ”

Wine is a thing given by the soul of sound and color, and most people in the world think that "wine is the color medium, and color is the wine medium", and less of them think of the genus of expressing sorrow, but these two people call it "salty things", ridiculous and nothing?

Indulgence in drinking is excessive, since Jiang Ming came down from the green mountain in winter and walked into the adjacent Cambrian City, it has been more than 20 days. In addition to going to major wine shops to drink all day long, it is to walk through the mountain, find a quiet place to ponder the halberd method, or watch the martial arts trial in the martial arts arena, and the days are very comfortable and free.

"Yes...... I have important things to do, but I can't do it in a hurry. Jiang Ming was thoughtful, waiting, and worried, but he could only spend his days here, which was extremely ashamed.

"I've already asked many knowledgeable veterans in Yeyang City and Cambrian Pass, but I don't know the thing of 'Netthorn Rock' at all, where I should look for it, I'm too confused. ”

"The predecessor of the Night Spring said to go as you like, the Wasteland Ding fragment in my body is related to the Nettlerock, if I can find other missing pieces, there may be a chance to find the Nettlerock. ”

"The day before yesterday, my spirit fell into the void space of the Wasteland Tripod Fragments, and I saw two red dots, if my guess is correct, the red dots represent the connection between the Wasteland Tripod Fragments, then, there is a fragment in this Cambrian Pass, and I must try my best to find it. ”

As for why he drinks every day for fun, the reason is hard to say.

Lin Han asked, and he said, "Have you ever heard of the ancient chivalrous wine and sword immortal? Wouldn't it be nice to transform one thing into one realm, crisscross the world and look at all things, and then pour wine and get drunk?"

This is too orthodox, and it should be written into the student's examination syllabus, not for me. Lin Han didn't want to get to the bottom of it, even if the two of them were now familiar with each other because of wine, they knew that their secrets could not be revealed, and he was like this!

"Do you know the eternal green mountain outside the Cambrian Pass?" Jiang Ming said.

"There is no winter in all seasons, the green mountains are not old, you should be talking about the peak of agelessness. ”

"Ageless peak? That's the name. ”

Lin Han took a sip of warm wine and read: "This mountain is a magnificent scene of Cambrian Pass, and it is unique to look at the entire Zhu Tianye, but since the last time the two countries fought, the guard general Gao Zhuxu buried the bones of tens of thousands of dead soldiers in the south of the mountain, and the ageless peak withered in the south and greened in the north, showing a polarized state, and there were rumors among the people that there were hundreds of ghosts walking at night in the mountain, so they did not dare to go to the mountain again. ”

Jiang Ming was a little surprised, he didn't know that there was such a story on this mountain, he woke up in the north of the mountain, and he didn't know what the south of the mountain was. In this way, it aroused his curiosity.

"Brother Jiang went to the Lost Age Peak, but is there something wrong?" Lin Han asked with a frown.

"No, just wanted you to witness something. ”

Green ant. The wine here is not more mellow than other places, except for the "White Moon" and "Hidden Valley", many customers are eager to see the lady of this hotel, and they all call the lady "Hongliang Niang".

"You mean Lin Gongzi, he asked me about something, but there are rules for doing our business, if it is violated, the concubine body will not be able to get along in this Cambrian Pass. "Hongliang Niang Na's posture is full of enchantment, although she is thirty years old, but she does not lose her charm because of hard work, with the years of cultivation, the mature and charming femininity is more and more ready to come out, and the gestures are like a poem that is intriguing.

"As we all know, the biggest source of information in Cambrian is that among the many liquor shops, whether it is military, commercial, sectarian secrets, or unknown family scandals, they will spread, gather and spread among the liquor stores. Wrapped in a black cotton shirt, Jiang Ming looked extremely calm, took out a bag of silver taels from his arms, and silently put it on Hongliang Niang's table.

Yiyi Trusts is commonplace in this well-informed city, but the difference is that the identity of the trader at this time is abnormal. Hongliang Niang's eyebrows were slightly spread, and her beautiful eyes swept over the young man in front of her, she was a little stunned by his age, but it was only a moment of trance, she immediately picked up the bag of silver taels, and turned her waist around the road, and sat opposite Jiang Ming with a twist of her waist, and said with a smile: "Childe, can you tell me your identity, Gongzi Lin is also half a friend of mine, and the concubine doesn't want to sell him easily." ”

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, and spiritually heard the implication, as long as the price is right, there is nothing that cannot be traded, the identity of Hongliang Niang is self-evident, and the words can be regarded as acquiescing to the previous guess. It's just that his purpose is not exactly that. He said, "He is also my friend, without him, and without this salty wine." What I want to do is what all living people should do. I don't know, is this reason enough?"

Hongliang Niang said with a smile: "It turns out that this allusion comes from you, Gongzi, look at my memory! However, please remember your original intention, don't hurt others and yourself, although the concubine is not talented, she has the ability to control what you have to do." Jiang Ming looked at her coldly and coldly, as if he was a little impatient, and snorted lightly: "If the proprietress still plans to continue to grind my temperament, it is okay not to do this deal." Getting up and stroking the dust of his robe, Jiang Ming didn't stay any longer, and walked straight out of the house.

Hongliang Niang smiled bitterly, and scolded several times in her heart, she had honed several years of negotiation experience in the red dust, and she was helpless against a young man in his early twenties, she looked at Jiang Ming with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and hurriedly called out: "Son, slow down, if you can trust the concubine, you can go to the south of the Ageless Peak to find those elixirs that can heal bones, Lin Han Gongzi should be the most urgent, especially the decane wood Zhicao." ”

"Thank you!"

Hongliang Niang watched the visitors leave, and couldn't help but sigh: "This person's personality and martial arts talent are extremely excellent, and there may be a purpose that is more difficult to know when he comes here, so report it to the organization first, otherwise I will be blamed for the crime of not knowing." It's really sad for a woman who hasn't started a family!"

After the green ant came out, Jiang Ming wandered aimlessly on the street for a long time, and wanted to go back to the inn to rest, but only to find that he had paced to the martial arts arena in the city, and he had nothing to do, so he squeezed into the crowd with great interest, watching the competition in the trial platform.

This kind of martial arts competition is approved by the military, and is clearly protected by regulations, as long as the two sides of the competition voluntarily reach an agreement, they can play a game and enmity through martial arts in this place, if the life and death are decided earlier, even if someone loses their life, on the premise that the other party does not insult their body, it will not violate the limits of official power. It is the rise of this fairly fair style of martial arts that makes the people of Cambrian Pass martial arts, strengthens the fighting spirit of the defenders in the long run, and makes the defense of this pass indestructible.

In the proving ground, two men fought with their bare hands, relying on their respective fighting consciousness and physical strength. One tall and one short, one strong and one thin, it was clearly an unfair battle, but it made the thin man persist for more than ten minutes.

"This kid is really good, he can hold on to it for so long under the hands of He Wansheng, a reckless man in Xicheng, it really gives a long face to those drunkards of the Green Ant Wanton. ”

"What kind of face do you have, that group of people were drunk and making trouble, and it didn't matter if they provoked He Wansheng to be beaten, what should I do if that kid grinds like this, and provokes He Wansheng to death?"

No matter how domineering He Wansheng is, he will not kill anyone, everyone knows that this kind of behavior is to be severely punished and killed in the laws and regulations set by General Gao. ”

"Killing? He Wan was arrested and imprisoned for killing people a few years ago, and he has been locked up for more than three years without anything, and it is estimated that he also has someone inside!"

......

Listening carefully to the gossip of these onlookers, Jiang Ming also heard some frowns, and when his eyes slowly moved to the two people on the field, the dark cyan copper sheet hidden in his body trembled suddenly, and the feeling like a burning made Jiang Ming's face change drastically.

"Another fragment of the Wasteland?"

The thin young man in the field seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head and directly locked his eyes on Jiang Ming, and the two looked at each other and became stunned.

"Bang!"

Lost his mind on the battlefield, the thin young man was smashed over with a punch without accident, the burly He Wansheng shouted, grabbed the thin young man's legs and threw it, the young man was hit hard again, lying on the ground and struggling, but he didn't have the strength to stand up.

Seeing the sudden changes in the situation on the battlefield, the military personnel who were acting as referees on the side wanted to decide the winner, but He Wansheng glanced at him fiercely, and said as if warning: "He hasn't opened his mouth to admit defeat yet, the battle is not over yet, don't show favoritism and cheating." The face of the military personnel suddenly became not very good-looking, he was just an ordinary soldier who was responsible for supervising the trial platform, and he had no real power, and he had lost a lot of face by this rude man talking like this, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't offend the adult behind him, so he had to walk to the side with a gloomy face, and said without being salty or indifferent: "He Wansheng, remember that this is not a life-and-death duel, if someone dies, no one will have good fruit to eat." ”

He Wansheng walked towards the thin young man with a cruel smile, and said in a voice that was not high or low enough for everyone within five meters around him to hear: "You have already angered me, don't blame Uncle Ben for being ruthless, I will help you collect my life today, I hope you can grow your eyes in the next life, don't mess with people you can't afford to provoke." ”

After saying that, He Wansheng kicked at the thin young man's head, if he couldn't dodge, he would hit the temple, and the consequence would be the fall of life, which was a real killing trick. Seeing that this kick was about to kick the young man's head, He Wansheng's knee suddenly ached, and the muscle contraction made him can't help but withdraw his foot, but he clearly felt that someone was sneaking up on him with a hidden weapon.

"Who's it! Get out of here!"

He Wansheng's roar suddenly quieted down the entire trial ground, and some unknown spectators were still laughing, and when Jiang Ming's figure slowly walked towards the field, countless eyes focused on this equally thin young man at the same time, and several people seemed to have pity.

"It seems that I have to make a move! Those who possess the fragments of the Desolate Origin Ding cannot miss it, and they will eventually converge. ”

Jiang Mingwu walked to the field, picked up the young man with a convulsive expression due to pain, and said with a smile: "How to deal with this guy to get angry?" The young man endured the pain and said with difficulty: "Trample on human dignity, don't ...... Don't make a fuss about your life...... That's it. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Ming helped the young man aside, and the conversation was very simple like a close friend for many years, just this one sentence was enough for him to make a move.

"Damn!" He Wansheng was actually ignored, since this guy came on the field, he hadn't looked at him directly, he was so well-known in this Xicheng, and he was still talked about in public about how to deal with crimes, how could he bear it?" Boy, you two are looking for death!"

Seeing that the reckless man rushed over like a mad rhinoceros, as if to crush all the obstacles on the road into powder, the spectators couldn't help but get nervous, and some even began to shout and cheer.

"Bang!"

A puddle of flesh hit the ground, and the voices of the spectators stopped abruptly, who would have thought that such a strong and reckless man would be put down by a thin young man who was more than half a head shorter?

However, the astonishing thing did not stop, and the young man rode directly on He Wansheng's back, raised his fist and hit him in the face.

"Bang!"

One punch.

"Bang!"

Two punches.

"Bang!"

Three punches.

It wasn't until after a few punches that Jiang Ming stood up, pulled the stunned thin young man to his back, his eyes swept over the crowd, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, take the next step ahead, you don't have to send it." ”

"Wait!" The officer who was originally in charge of the trial ground stood up, coughed lightly, and said, "This gentleman, you have violated the laws and regulations of the people by fighting in the city without the permission of the other party, and I also ask you to go to the Yamen of the West City." ”

Everyone squinted and watched the trend of the situation, many people had already guessed that there would be such a thing, if the sergeant could tolerate the violation of the rules without saying a word, Cambrian City would have been in chaos a long time ago.

Jiang Ming snorted coldly, and his murderous aura surged out, and two falcon-like eyeballs seemed to tear people apart: "The law is public, human nature is the foundation, if you can be strict with the law and stop that damn guy from making a dead hand, I naturally won't make trouble, but you bully the weak and fear the hard, and become a soldier in vain, I just perform my duties on your behalf." Okay, you can't stop me alone, I refuse to resist arrest and escape, you can go and call someone. ”

Jiang Ming walked too freely, which made many people present who liked to watch the excitement give a thumbs up, only the young man who was paralyzed on Jiang Ming's back pouted angrily and complained: "Those guys, I stood up for them, and no one came to see me." ”

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "I am a person in the wine field, how can I have so much affection? I will come to me for drinking in the future, and I will promise to get you drunk." ”

I don't know why, the two have seen each other since then, like old friends meeting each other, without much estrangement, in the magnificent Cambrian City in the proving ground, one carrying the other, the shadow of the two is getting longer and farther.
