Chapter 139: New Year's Resolution
"What happened to you, you have to push the third sister out of the ......"
Mei Sanniang, who was sitting on the chair, felt that all the strength in her body had been drained, and the silver ticket in her hand was spilled on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The third sister is useless, I can't help you, stinky boy, don't die, you can't die......"
In the quiet courtyard, the sobbing continued for a long, long time, the sound of firecrackers came from the window, and the naughty children lit the fireworks before it was dark, so the excitement of Chinese New Year's Eve spread out in the crackling sound of the occasional explosion, until the fireworks filled the sky.
The hustle and bustle of Fengdu City is covered with a splendid coat, and from the outside of the city, the whole giant city seems to be lit with beacon fires, and colorful fireworks are endless.
The Taibao returned to the Ghost King Gate and had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhuo Tianying did not seem to be in high spirits, and left without eating a few bites, but the remaining Taibao said and laughed, although five died, there are still more than a dozen, as long as there is a ring competition after the New Year, the number of Taibao will be complete again.
The Taibao of the Ghost King Gate doesn't have a long life at all, and who really cares if they die.
At midnight, the fireworks in Fengdu City were still open, and Xu Yan, who had returned to his residence, pushed open the window and looked at the end of the night sky, the dark night was illuminated by the fireworks in all colors, as if a corner of the sky was ignited by the power of the gods.
By tomorrow, Xu Yan will be seventeen years old, a seventeen-year-old boy who has grown up, but still made a New Year's wish on Chinese New Year's Eve.
In the past, when I was in Chengyunguan, whenever the Chinese New Year, the old Taoist priest would ask Xu Yan what his wishes were, so the young Taoist priest made a lot of wishes in the past ten years, some grew up faster, some lived a long life, some ate and drank well, and some were happy.
Xu Yan has made many wishes, he doesn't mind if it will come true, people, there should always be some thoughts, otherwise he will be out of spirit.
However, in the past seventeen years, Xu Yan has not had such an expectation, looking forward to his wish coming true.
Under the bright moon, next to the fireworks, the handsome young man closed his eyes and made a wish for the new year, his wish this year is a little special and a little ruthless.
This year, there must be more people killed than last year!!
"Let's see who dies first, Zhuo Tianying......"
As the windows slowly closed, a cold whisper echoed under the night sky, and the game had begun.
After the year, the Ghost King Gate became busy, those forcibly acquired shops need to be taken care of, and the trade routes associated with these stores also need to continue to be opened, located in all parts of the Qi country, the Ghost King Gate began to recruit disciples on a large scale, and the annual profit of fifty taels of lay disciples became eighty taels, don't look up to thirty taels, this money Ghost King Gate is very smart not to put it into the pocket, but to leave it to the halls everywhere, to reward those who follow the service in the hall.
The profits of lay disciples have risen, and the benefits of following the disciples who serve in the hall are even more, so those lay disciples who originally planned to sit at home will inevitably be red-eyed, and one by one they would rather go to the hall to serve than pay eighty taels of silver per year.
One change has caused the number of people in the halls of the Ghost King Gate to increase dramatically, and Zhuo Tianying's scheming is not insignificant.
Not only are they busy, but the Taibao are also preparing for the ring, and now there are only twelve Taibao, and it is not good to be missing six, so it can be called the eighteenth Taibao if they are made up quickly.
The contest for the re-election of the Taibao was set on the fifteenth day of the first month, and on this day Fengdu City was called an empty alley, which lasted from early morning to dusk, and only four Taibao were selected, and the remaining two will come again tomorrow.
The only remaining twelve Taibao, this time there are eleven people sitting in the ring, there are hundreds of sword marks on the tall sword test stele, and the wonderful competition is to see the people of Fengdu City dazzled, and all the masters are on stage, this kind of grand occasion is a hundred times more lively than singing a big opera.
Of the twelve Taibao, the missing one is Xu Yan.
Xu Yan didn't go to Fengdu City, but slept in his yard, and since the New Year, he has become more lazy.
It's just a matter of choosing the Taibao, Xu Yan doesn't want to join in the fun, anyway, the group of Taibao are dead people in his eyes sooner or later, what's the use of not looking at it, he is unlucky to get the position of Taibao, since he jumped into this fire pit, just wait for the same end.
The matter of Meixianglou has been dealt with, and since the burning of Meixianglou, the last worry in Xu Yan's heart has been completely eliminated.
As long as he breaks up with Mei Sanniang, once something happens to him, it will not affect his third sister, as for the expulsion of Mei Xinju's family, it is not that Xu Yan hates the Mei family, but that he is going to burn the building, where is the Mei family still depending, without the protection of the identity of the Seventeenth Taibao, if the Mei family stays in Fengdu, they will really wait for death.
Mei Xinju's family was expelled from Fengdu City, and Xu Yan saved their lives in the face of Mei Sanniang's affection, although people would not appreciate it, and even hold a grudge for a lifetime, Xu Yan never minded.
Xiao Hei was left in Meixianglou, and all the silver tickets on his body were left to the third sister, Xu Yan was really a breeze with two sleeves at this time, since he was already barefoot, he was not afraid of those who wore shoes.
Eating, drinking, and sleeping every day has become Xu Yan's unchanging habit, in addition to reading more and more books, he, the seventeenth Taibao, is inconspicuous in the Ghost King Gate.
In the place where the books are hidden, there are no martial arts cheats that Xu Yan has not read, so he began to collect all the books in the villa, fortunately, Xu Yan does not pick, as long as it is with words, he likes to read.
The huge Ghost King Gate, don't look at it as the head rudder of the evil sect, but there are a lot of books of all kinds, and there are even tens of thousands of books in special buildings.
The preferences of the Seventeenth Taibao are now well known in the Ghost King Gate, but what no one knows is that Xu Yan is not only reading, but he is also looking for a very rare lotus.
As long as the source of this lotus flower can be found, Xu Yan, who is deeply in the place of death, can have a chance to come back to life.
Mermaid lotus, the only exotic flower that can cure the poison of black poppy grass!
Shaped like a fish's tail floating in the pool, a fish scale and a smoke, the world only says that the flower is always there, and I don't know the water lily race fairy.
Recalling the strangeness of the old Taoist priest smiling and talking about the fishtail lotus, the coldness in Xu Yan's eyes seemed to have melted a little.
Xu Daoyuan taught Xu Yan a lot of knowledge about flowers and plants, so that Xu Yan's identification of poisonous weeds has long been called an expert, he knows the poison of black poppy grass, the only antidote is the fishtail lotus, but unfortunately, Xu Yan does not know that kind of strange lotus, where is it.
Looking through a large number of books, Xu Yan was looking for traces of the fishtail lotus, but he never found anything.
Closing the book in his hand, Xu Yan yawned loudly, and the maid who delivered the meal pushed the door in, seeing his lazy appearance, the woman covered her mouth and smiled, and asked softly: "Yan Taibao, do you still use Qingyu to eat today?"
