"The gossip furnace of thousands of miles in the red land, when the rain is not harvested. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info"There is a big drought in Yuezhou this year, there are many cracks in the earth, the crops in the field have withered, and it is still too late to rain, if it does not rain when it is ripe, I am afraid that this year's harvest will be lost." For this reason, some literati wrote these two lines of poetry, although the artistic conception of the poems is exaggerated, but it also shows that the drought is more serious.

Yuezhou City is the political and economic center of Yuezhou, and the dynasty was set up as the capital of Yuezhou to govern the entire Yuezhou. Yuezhou city into a square, there are four city gates, respectively the south gate of the south of the Pu Gate, the east gate of Chaoyang, the north gate of the arch gate, the west gate of Yueyangmen, the city wall of ten miles long, one meter wide, three and a half meters high, according to the city wall to build many more than five meters high lookout, this is to prepare for the needs of war. The main road in the city is paved with smooth bluestone, wide enough for six large carriages to run side by side at the same time, and the "ten" shaped avenue connects the four city gates, and the whole city looks like a huge "Tian" character divides the city into four living areas. The northeast area is mainly high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the southeast area is mainly rich and noble, the southwest area is mainly commercial, and the northwest area is mainly the alleys and alleys where ordinary people live.

In the early morning of this day, in the courtyard of a house in the first lane of Yuezhou City, a young man walked into it and shouted, "The stinky horse is 'singing', it's up soon......!" Ma Ming in the house lazily lay on the bed and said: "What is the noise, you dead donkey howls, and you don't let people sleep!" It turned out that the person who called Ma Ming was called Lu Hao, and Lu Hao walked into the house with a smile; On such a hot day, you can sleep, could it be that you are a pig. Ma Ming said: "What's the matter, what's the matter with me?"

"I heard that there has been a strange scene in the dragon-shaped mountain three hundred miles southwest of the city recently. ”

"Huh?" Ma Ming was surprised: "What is so strange, come one by one." ”

Ahem!ahem......

Lu Hao pretended to be a master and coughed dryly: "There are four major mountain villas in the martial arts, and the most mysterious of them is our dragon-shaped mountain villa in Yuezhou. In recent days, there has been a dark cloud hovering over the dragon-shaped villa, which is just floating away, which is very mysterious. ”

"This year's drought has not rained yet, and the people are looking forward to the next rain to alleviate the drought.

"And I heard the news that the wife of Long Xingyun, the owner of the Dragon Shaped Villa, is about to give birth in the past few days, in order not to be affected by anything, the security inside and outside the villa has become more stringent, and many masters have been added to patrol day and night to protect the safety of the villa. ”

"This news was said by my cousin's cousin's brother-in-law and second uncle's nephew who was a little minion in the villa, and it was very accurate. After this sentence, Lu Hao's mouth was almost a little crooked.

"My mother, such a complicated relationship!" Ma Ming suddenly sat up and said loudly.

"Hehe, look at your virtue, it's not a shame, and ah, some good people have gone to watch. ”

"Then why don't we go and see it too?"

"That's why I came to you, let's prepare. ”

"Well, let's go, maybe you can go to the villa to do some errands, or meet a master and take him as an apprentice. Ma Ming said with a look of drooling when he met a beautiful woman.

"I want to vomit, disgusting or not, you" Lu Hao bent down and pretended to vomit.

The two of them still packed up their things like they usually quarreled......

On the avenue to Yueyangmen, two teenagers walked shoulder to shoulder, one was holding a rusty iron sword that could no longer be rusted, this person was Ma Ming, and the other was holding a steel knife with a gap, needless to say that it was Lu Hao, looking at the weapons in their hands, it was really worthy of being often tired of being crooked together every day, and the rusty sword was really a perfect match for the residual knife.

Ma Ming sang as he walked: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and Qiankun's 'sleeve' sword has been shot. When the thief saw it, he turned around, and the beautiful woman looked at him three times. On the other side, Lu Hao also sang: "The green dragon glaive is not as good as it, and the thin-winged 'cicada' knife is out of the sheath." The king of heaven was startled, and the beauty smiled three times when she saw it. Many people around looked at them with strange eyes, as if they were looking at monsters, and they were monsters of the living treasure level. As far as the weapons of the two of them are concerned, what is the matter, thin wings, it makes people laugh off their big teeth.

The two of them didn't care about the ridicule and contempt of others, what should they do, they walked straight forward and walked out of the city gate with a smile and a smile, walking on the official road, from time to time there were merchant convoys coming and going into the city, and after walking for a while, both of them were tired of walking, Ma Ming panted and sighed; On such a hot day, if you go on like this, you have to suffer from heat stroke before noon, so let's take a carriage. Lu Hao pursed his thirsty lips and said; Then we'll rest and pay attention to the carriage coming from behind. Then the two sat down on a stone on the side of the road. ”

"You said that we would not get ahead in the future," Ma Ming stroked the rusty sword with his hand.

"Who is my brother! As soon as the thin-winged cicada sword lit up, the heroes of the world shouted Lu Shaoxia when they saw me. ”

“…… Oh! Look at a cow blowing in the sky over there, and its belly is about to burst. ”

"Where?" looked around, rolling his eyes.

"Hahahaha," Ma Ming laughed loudly.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you......"

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels was heard in the distance, getting closer and closer, Ma Ming stood up and waved to the carriage, driven by a middle-aged man in gray, with a rein in his hand, and the carriage stopped in front of him.

Ma Ming arched his hand slightly and said, "Uncle, we want to take a ride, I don't know if it's inconvenient." The middle-aged man just wanted to turn around and ask the people in the carriage, but a soft voice came out of the carriage through the curtain: "Second uncle, let them take a ride, see that they are not bad people." ”

When Ma Ming heard this voice, he was stunned and said: "The person in the carriage must be a big beauty, just listening to the sound makes people reminisce." ”

Lu Hao was no better, and said in his heart: "Wow! It must be a beauty, I don't know how beautiful it is......" The deep eyes of the middle-aged man who was called the old man rolled and said: "Two little brothers, then come up, I can just sit on both sides of one person", the voice was as loud as a bell, if there is a master here, he will definitely see that this middle-aged man is a master of martial arts with high internal strength.

Ma Ming and Lu Hao are at best a fake style that they don't understand any martial arts, that is, they have never practiced martial arts, and they can only dance swords. was shocked by this voice, and hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you, uncle." The old man didn't speak, just bowed his head slightly. The two of them hurriedly sat on opposite sides of the car.

"Sit tight, drive ......" The carriage drove forward quickly, and the old man said: "Where are the two little brothers going?" Ma Ming said: "We are going to Longxing Mountain to have a look, I heard that there are some strange scenes there." The old man was not shocked and said: "Oh, I also heard, you two are not afraid to go to watch and lose your lives when you encounter evil demons, some of them are taking people to practice some demonic skills that are forbidden by the rivers and lakes." The two of them were really scared when they heard this, Lu Hao pretended to be calm but still said in a trembling voice: "As soon as the thin-winged cicada sword was shot, the Heavenly King Lao Tzu was startled. Let's see who dares to bully us. There is also Ma Ming's Qiankun Hidden Blade, the thief wants to stay when he sees it, and the beauty sees it three times. The weapons of the two had already been seen in their eyes, the old man smiled slightly, and the woman in the car couldn't help but giggle when she heard the "flutter", and the laughter was really as good as a silver bell.

After a period of interlude, the carriage was still moving quickly, and there were no shops on this section of the road at noon, and after stopping in the shade of the trees to rest and eat something, the carriage continued to move forward, because it was going to arrive at the place where there was an inn before dark, the old man drove the carriage intently and rarely chatted with Lu Hao and the two of them, and the two discussed the gossip on the rivers and lakes nonsense......

"It's getting dark, and there is Sanhe Town in front of me, so I can finally rest after a day's drive. The old man muttered to himself.

As night came, the carriage moved quickly and disappeared into the night......
