When he gets up early in the morning, Zhao Yi has to do two things, carry water and buy breakfast.

Zhao Yi picked up a pair of wooden buckets, came out from the back of the tavern, passed the old locust tree and turned right into an alley, and walked to the bottom of the alley to the only well in the town, next to the well there is a banyan tree, which is said to have been around for thousands of years.

The name of this well sounds scary, and it is called the Ancient Well of the Immortals.

This name was not given by the people in the town, but a stone tablet stood next to the well, which said that "Immortal Ancient Well" is an ancient seal character, and no one in the town knows what age it was left.

Zhao Yi stopped at the mouth of the alley with a bucket of water, and he saw a man and a woman by the well, the woman was petite, the man was elegant and gentle, the man was holding a black sheath long sword in his hand, and the woman had a short sword with a dark red scabbard stuck in her waist.

In the past few days, Zhao Yi has encountered a lot of people like this pair of men and women in the town, and he has tried to avoid them as much as possible and not have anything to do with them.

These two Zhao Yi have not seen it, they should have just arrived in the town, the two pretended to wash their hands and drink water by the well, but Zhao Yi could see at a glance that they were looking for something, washing their hands and drinking water was just a cover-up.

A man and a woman found the boy carrying water at the mouth of the alley, and they saw that it was a young man wearing coarse linen clothes, with a dark complexion, and his face was still a little dull, so they were relieved.

The man nodded at him slightly, and the woman showed a shallow smile at him, Zhao Yi felt that she was also quite beautiful.

Zhao Yi also smiled stupidly, just standing at the mouth of the alley, and didn't come down to fetch water.

A man and a woman saw that someone was watching, and it was inconvenient to continue looking, so they pretended to have finished drinking water and left from another alley.

After a man and a woman left, Zhao Yi came down to fetch water, he took advantage of the time to fetch water in the well, and also took a closer look at the well, and saw that the ancient well of the immortals was crystal clear, except for the stones at the bottom of the well, there was nothing special.

I wondered what this man and woman were looking for.

After Zhao Yi filled a jar with water, he went to an early shop in Longpan Lane to buy breakfast.

This shop was opened by an uncle of Yan Chong, Zhao Yi has come here several times to buy it, and he is also familiar with the owner of the shop.

Every morning, Zhao Yi will buy a lot of buns, fritters, pastries, etc., everything is necessary, and three cups of soy milk are also indispensable.

A customer like him has never encountered this early shop since it opened.

Just as Zhao Yi was about to leave early, Yan Chong's aunt stopped him again: "Zhao Yi, wait a minute, you take this." ”

Zhao Yi saw that Aunt Yan Chong handed over another pack of zongzi, it seemed that there were more than a dozen, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, I didn't ask for zongzi." ”

"Take it, this is my aunt's bag from home, and I'll give you some to take back and taste. Aunt Yan Chong walked out of the shop and put a bag of zongzi in Zhao Yi's hand.

"This ...... Thank you, auntie. ”

Zhao Yi didn't excuse himself, and said thank you a few times in a row.

Aunt Yan Chong stretched her head over again and said softly to Zhao Yi: "Recently, there have been a lot of outsiders in the town, and I don't think they are good people, you should pay more attention and don't provoke them." ”

Zhao Yi nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, we will take care of it." ”

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man came to the shop, he had a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dirty and wrinkled gray coarse cloth clothes, a gray scarf around his neck, and a thick-backed knife in his hand.

"Boss, bring me two catties of meat buns and two catties of steamed buns. ”

Aunt Yan Chong gave Zhao Yi a look, and then turned around to greet the middle-aged man.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll take it for you!"

Zhao Yi walked a few steps forward, then waited on the side of the street to listen, and heard the middle-aged man ask about the situation of the immortal ancient well, and also asked about what old things were in the town.

I heard Aunt Yan Chong say with a smile: "I am a daughter-in-law who married from a foreign country, and I don't know about these. ”

When Zhao Yi returned to the brothers' tavern, he deliberately passed by the ancient well of the immortals, and saw that in addition to the residents of the town who came to pick up water to wash vegetables, there were also some outsiders drinking water intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhao Yi had a hunch that something was going to happen in Qingshan Town.

Since Lu Qingxin came, Yan Chong and Wu Jian have also enjoyed happiness, and they have eaten breakfast very satisfactorily every day.

After breakfast, when Yan Chong and Lu Qingxin went to the back kitchen, Wu Jian asked Zhao Yi when he would leave to return to Junshan City, saying that there were only eight days before the first day of the fifth month.

Zhao Yi said to wait for two more days, he was also anxious in the past two days, he hadn't figured out how to deal with Lu Qingxin's matter, so he would take her back to Junshan City directly, it was not suitable, he really wanted to give her a letter of resignation, Zhao Yi couldn't give up his heart.

Whether he likes Lu Qingxin or not is another matter, the key is that a girl in the family worked tirelessly to find him all over the world in order to keep her word, and finally he Zhao Yi gave someone a letter of resignation, so his Zhao Yi's character will be very problematic.

In addition, he saw that so many outsiders had come to Qingshan Town recently, as if they were looking for something, and he also wanted to see what was going on.

Wu Jian finally said to give him three more days, and if he didn't leave, he would be kidnapped.

Zhao Yi was convinced of this.

On this day, when he was fine, Zhao Yi moved a bench to a pillar in the tavern, and then sat with his back against the pillar, with his feet flat on the stool, and a plate of peanuts and a pot of tea on a round table next to him.

Lu Qingxin said that he was going out for a walk, Yan Chong went to the wine room, Wu Jian's kid didn't know where to hide, and Zhao Yi was the only one left in the tavern, and he was also idle.

From time to time, someone walked under the old locust tree outside the house, and listening to the speaker's accent, Zhao Yi could know that there were people from the town and outsiders.

Zhao Yi finished eating a plate of peanuts, and a pot of tea almost all entered his stomach, he stretched, then hugged his arms with both hands, and closed his eyes.

At this time, a woman's voice penetrated Zhao Yi's ears: "Senior brother, look at this old locust tree, it must be some years." ”

Zhao Yi opened his eyes, got up and quietly looked outside, and saw a man and a woman sitting on the stone bench under the old locust tree, which were the pair of men and women he met by the immortal ancient well that morning.

"Senior sister won't think that this old locust tree is also a treasure!" the man laughed.

The petite woman seemed to be coquettish to the man, and then laughed deliciously.

After a while, I heard the man say again: "The stone bridge has cracked, the dragon god has fallen, it seems that this Qingshan Town has really been unsealed." ”

The woman asked: "Senior brother, my father said that this Qingshan Town was the great catastrophe in ancient times, and it must have hidden extraordinary opportunities when it fell from the sky into the red dust world, senior brother, what kind of opportunities did you say in this Qingshan Town?"

The man didn't answer immediately, and was silent for a while before saying: "Although our Zhao family is the first family in Jiaozhou, even among the many families in Chu, there are few that can beat the Zhao family, but there have been wars and turmoil over the years, and many sects are also developing their strength, our Zhao family is sitting in Nantian City, and the old King of Chu has already begun to be afraid of us, in order for the Zhao family to prosper for a long time, we have to prepare early." ”

Zhao Yi has heard of the Nantian City in the man's mouth, it is a big city close to the South China Sea, and it can't even compare to Wuzhou City, where the capital of Jiaozhou Prefecture is located.

"Senior brother, there are really a lot of people who have come to Qingshan Town this time, and there are many people I can't read, do you think those people from the Immortal Dao Sect will send people?" the woman asked again.

Recently, there are a lot of outsiders coming to the town, and a man and a woman sitting under the old locust tree are not special, and passers-by will only take a few looks.

"Since the Taiping Road was exterminated by the imperial court, Taoism is only left on the Taiyi Mountain in the south of the end, there are rumors that there are Taoist real people in Luofu Mountain, but I don't know whether it is true or not, as for whether they will come to Qingshan Town, it is unknown. The man said.

The woman followed up and asked, "What about the sword immortal of Bashu?"

Zhao Yi didn't hear the man speak, and he didn't know if he nodded or shook his head.

The woman seemed a little disappointed, and she was also a little deflated when she spoke, "Those legendary overseas immortal mountains will not send disciples here. ”

The two were silent for a while, only to hear the woman ask again, "Senior brother, where do you say the opportunity in Qingshan Town is?"

Hearing that the woman asked the key, Zhao Yi hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened intently.

The man looked up at the old locust tree and said softly: "Senior sister, let's go to Nahum Mountain tonight to have a look, I always feel that the fetish is not necessarily in the town." ”

Although the man's voice was very soft, he was still heard by Zhao Yi, and his heart moved, and he decided to follow the two of them tonight to have a look.

After a long while, no more sound was heard, Zhao Yi got up and looked out through the window, only to see that there was no one under the old locust tree.

After getting dark for a while, Zhao Yi called on the witch sword, avoided Lu Qingxin and Yan Chong, and the two quietly left the town.

Hongshan is composed of many peaks, and near Qingshan Town is a huge rock peak, like a giant sword inserted upside down, the blade of the sword pointed to the sky, because of this, the residents of the town called it Jianfeng.

There are sparse trees and barren grass growing on the Jianfeng Mountain, Zhao Yi and Wu Jian went up to the top of the mountain first, and from the top of the mountain, you can see the whole picture of the town, and at this time, there are still some stars and lights in the town.

The two searched around the top of the mountain, but did not find a suitable hiding place, so they searched down again, and finally found a rock col halfway up the mountain, suitable for hiding.

At night, the mountain breeze is continuous, and it is very comfortable.

Zhao Yi sat on a stone, looking up at the starry sky, the witch sword beside him, glanced at Zhao Yi, and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the last day." ”

Zhao Yi turned his head and glared at Wu Jian angrily, and said, "Disappointing!"

At about the third watch, Zhao Yi, who was hiding in the rock col, was about to fall asleep, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps in his ears, and he sat up with a spirit, and when he went to look at the witch sword beside him, he was still sitting upright like a piece of wood.

Zhao Yi wanted to lean out to look, but suddenly stopped again, only to hear footsteps again, it seems that there are more people here tonight than the two people from Nantian City.

I don't know when, the sky has become dark clouds and depressed, the mountains are pitch black, and several mountains in the distance are like giants standing, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Zhao Yi didn't move, nor did he call Wu Jian, he just listened intently to the sound outside.

Walking in front were two people, it should be a man and a woman in Nantian City, and there were several people behind them, some distance away from the two of them.

After the two people in front of them went up to the top of the mountain, they also searched everywhere, but they found nothing, so they went down the other side of the mountain, which was a cliff and had no road at all.

Zhao Yi pushed the witch sword, then quietly walked out of the rock pass, bowed and walked around the halfway up the mountainside, but found nothing, so he walked towards the other side of the mountain.

Zhao Yi saw that on the cliff, there were two black shadows, one moment like two rock eagles jumping up, and the other like two geckos climbing down the rock.

In the dark, Zhao Yi couldn't see it very clearly, and could only vaguely see that it was a man and a woman, whether it was the two people in Nantian City, Zhao Yi was not sure.

Zhao Yi sat on the rock, listening intently to the movement on the mountain, and kept wondering what they were looking for.

Wu Jian followed Zhao Yi firmly, but he didn't care about those actions at all.

Later, the people who came up searched for a while on the Sword Peak, but they didn't seem to find anything, so they returned the same way.

Zhao Yi waved his hand, and then quietly walked down the mountain, and when he walked to a small mountain pass, he met two more people, and saw them standing on a large bluestone face, talking in a low voice.

"Senior brother, we searched around and found nothing, what should we do?" a woman asked softly.

The man looked up at the sky and whispered, "The dark clouds are low, covering the stars, and they can't be judged by the stars, so it seems that they can only rely on chance." ”

The woman seemed to be a little impatient, "Senior brother, didn't you learn the art of Kanyu from my father, can you use the treasure hunting technique?"

"No, this Qingshan Town is mysterious and abnormal, and you can't easily cast spells, so as not to encounter accidents. The man flatly rejected his sister's proposal.

"Senior brother, look!"

The woman exclaimed suddenly, pointing to the east of the town.

Zhao Yi felt a sense in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the woman's finger, only to see a mountain peak in the east of the town, shaking violently, and then as if someone had split it from the middle with an axe, a large crack appeared, and a dazzling light came out of the crack.

After a while, Zhao Yi felt the ground under his feet also begin to tremble.

I saw that in the crack of the mountain in the east, it was getting brighter and brighter, and suddenly, a fiery red magma gushed out of the crack, like a fire dragon bursting out of the mountain, instantly illuminating the dark night sky.

The magma dragon spread its teeth and claws in the air, and before it had risen very high, it scattered diagonally towards the town.

Suddenly, a meteor shower fell in the town, and the town was dotted with sparks, and in a short time it became a fire.

Zhao Yi couldn't care much more, so he rushed out of the grass and rushed towards the town.

The volcano erupted in the east, the walls of the town collapsed, and along the way, there were terrible scenes, cries and cries of pain, and a good town turned into hell in an instant.

Thanks to Zhao Yi and Wu Jian's cultivation, they jumped all the way to dodge, and finally came to the flat land with the old locust tree.

The scene here is not much better.
