Chapter 1: The Lost Soul Boy
A well-timed first snow turns the mountains white. If it is a literati and knight, it is inevitable that when you come here, you will recite a few poems and dance the sword several times.
Xiao Mulan, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, only thought about women.
"Suddenly, there is an old man in his heart, and it is autumn to look back at the mountains and rivers. The two lovesick places are drenched in snow together, and this life can be regarded as a total of white heads. ”
As if he wanted to be recognized, he turned his gaze to the little Taoist priest on the side.
Different from Xiao Mulan's casual dress, the little Taoist priest's hair was meticulously tied up, the bun was very flat in the hair, the eyebrows and eyes were rigorous and serious, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like a star, the blue-gray Taoist robe was spotless, covered with snow, and when it was about to fall on him, he also floated slowly to other places.
Xiao Mulan was in a trance for a while.
"Third senior brother? ”
Xiao Mulan smiled dumbly, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
"How about poetry?"
"That Miss Li has no feelings for you, and so many years have passed, I'm afraid that I have forgotten you completely, where did the two lovesickness come from, it is just your own wishful thinking. ”
"Second Senior Brother really shouldn't let you go down the mountain. ”
What do you mean by that? ”
"It's easy to get beaten. ”
"Why were you beaten?"
The cold wind blew the robes of the two, and Xiao Mulan smiled freely.
The clothes moved with the wind, the footsteps were in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they were already a hundred feet away.
"Let's go, junior brother, we still have to look for senior brother."
"Senior brother, you haven't finished your sentence yet. Between the words, the figure also followed Xiao Mulan's figure and disappeared to the top of this peak, leaving only the footprints of the peak, which will soon be covered by the wind and snow.
.........................
The Dayu Dynasty had a vast territory, spanning 100,000 miles. Liyang City is only a small border city, but because it is the only one with a radius of thousands of miles that can safely enter the Tianya Road of the neighboring Seven Star Dynasty, it can be regarded as a crowd of people, and it is very lively.
Wanhualou in the west of Liyang City.
The stove in the kiln always burns more vigorously than in your own home. The hall was already full of people, and the talented people in the hall held the graceful beauty in their arms, feeling the softness in their hands, while boasting about some strange and interesting things about themselves in various places.
"Yo... Young Master Chu, don't come in today to warm up. Miss Xiangxiang is waiting for you so hard. ”
The old bustard, who went out to receive the distinguished guests, saw Chu Huohe sitting across the street and shouted jokingly.
"Mother Liu, the moon silver has been spent in the past few days, and I am shy in my pocket, can I take credit first?"
"I've heard that those who owe food and drink are indebted, how can there be a reason for owe prostitution. Your dead ghost father, the money you owe before, but you haven't paid it back yet, why do you always deduct this little money from your family's big business. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, my father is upright, and it is impossible for him to come here. ”
The old bustard said disdainfully: "If it weren't for your mother's stinky feet and strict management, you see if he came, he was the first spear in our Wanhualou back then...... Hehe. ”
Thinking of his father's serious face, Chu Huohe couldn't help but want to laugh for a while.
The old bustard didn't pay attention to him, Chu Huohe was almost always in the courtyard when he had silver, and when his sleeves were empty at the end of the month, he didn't forget to sit in front of the door.
The girls scratched their heads at the door, and their voices were seven points enchanting mixed with three points of exhaustion. There were guests entering the door, and I could only hear the bustard constantly beckoning different girls to pick up the guests.
Chu Huohe, who was sitting on the ground casually, looked at the scene across the street with a smirk, picked up the "Initial Explanation of Cultivation" in his hand, which had been turned a little worn-out, and continued to read.
"Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire, to see its wonder, and there is always desire, to observe its ......"
Although I have long been familiar with it, I still read it with taste.
There was a yellow puppy lying at his feet at the moment, and there was an old servant standing behind him, a little hunchbacked, standing behind him and smiling at the Qinglou opposite to recall his youth, once upon a time he was also a tidebreaker.
"What kind of eyes are you looking at, big rhubarb? Don't you really think that I don't dare to prepare green onions, ginger and garlic for you? Today is the winter solstice, and it is the day to eat your meat and drink your blood. ”
I can't remember exactly when the dog followed him, but three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and it has always been like this, and it has not grown. Lately the dead dog seems to have learned some wild ways, and he often looks at him with a foolish look, which makes him a little annoyed.
The old servant smiled, the wrinkles on his face were like freshly ploughed fields, although it was a little obscene, but there were also some vicissitudes hidden in it.
"Young Master Wise, what do you eat if you don't eat dog meat this day. The old servant looked down at the rhubarb, which was not very large, and his eyes flickered. Having thought of hundreds of ways to eat them, he continued: "High-end ingredients often only need the most modest cooking methods......
"What do old things think, when you are old, the ghost knows how many years you can live, how old it is, and it is not afraid of losing your life. Chu Huohe interrupted the old servant's cooking introduction, glanced at Rhubarb and said, "This thing is not enough to stew in a pot." He got up and patted the dust on his body, and reluctantly glanced at the Qinglou opposite.
"Let's go, go home. ”
"Okay. The old servant happily led the dog and hurriedly followed, but he was still muttering: "Yes, as soon as you open your mouth, you know that it is an old living Buddha, and you don't know the goods." ”
Liyang City is mixed with dragons and snakes, almost all the fat is controlled in the hands of the Chu family, and the caravans come and go, without a little filial piety, the gates of Liyang City cannot be entered, but after all, it is only for the caravan of Linguo. Occasionally, he also came out to give porridge and put rice. For better or worse, for the ordinary people in the city and for the refugees who have been displaced here, it is good after all. So there were a lot of greetings to the eldest young master of the Chu family along the way, which aroused the attention and discussion of a group of girls.
"Young Master of the Chu family, I've come out for a stroll again. ”
"Hehe, I must have just come from the door of the Qinglou. ”
"Be quiet, hold back a little laughter. ”
"Don't worry, we're all professionals, and we definitely won't laugh unless we can't help it...... Hahahaha"
Everyone chatted happily and laughed happily, but there was always respect and admiration on their faces, mixed with a smile of "kindness".
Chu Huohe greeted others with a smile and nodded. Respond one by one, and enjoy one or the other.
He seemed to enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon, or rather he liked the feeling of pretending, of course, he didn't know what those people were talking about.
The old servant followed behind, also giggling.
After passing through several lively streets and walking to a secluded long alley, you will arrive at the back door of the Chu Mansion.
Chu Huohe took a broad step, pushed it in a chic manner, and when he stepped into the door, he saw a nasty woman, sitting lazily on the Taishi chair, facing the back door. Seeing him come back, a faint smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Huohe, you can be counted as back, today is the day of the winter test, you won't forget it. Hurry up and follow me to the front hall, the young people from the other veins have already arrived. ”
The speaker is the eldest lady of the Chu family in Liyang City, Chu Huohe's half-sister Chu Huojiu, with a faint smile on her face at the moment.
couldn't help but say nothing, grabbed his arm and walked to the front hall. Chu Huohe wanted to break free, but that slender jade hand seemed to have the strength of a thousand catties, and he couldn't break free, so he had to resign himself to his fate.
In the front hall of the Chu family, the elders of all veins have already gathered together to routinely blow each other's business.
The young generation of teenagers and girls stood silently behind their elders, some of them squeezed their eyebrows in twos and threes, and some of them made eye contact with them with a hint of arrogance and disdain.
Chu Xiong, the contemporary head of the Chu family, looked at the clansmen below lightly, and nodded occasionally, unable to see what was on his mind.
"Dad, Huohe went to that kind of place again. Chu Huojiu pulled Chu Chu Huohe and shouted at the top of his voice as soon as he arrived in the front hall, and then seemed to find that many elders in the hall were present, and he said the wrong thing, and quickly shut up.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Chu Xiong's eyes, but he hid his smile just right, and said, "Just come back." ”
The other elders in the audience knew that the only son of the head of the family must have gone to the Qinglou again.
As we all know, the genius of the Chu family disappeared three years ago, and when he came back, he was like this. It is rumored that you can't practice.
A couple of old guys could barely hold back their laughter. The only son of the head of the family has lost his soul, and his cultivation path is hopeless, so there should be something wrong with his brain.
The future ownership of the position of the head of the family will inevitably come into their hands, and in the past few years, there have been many small moves, both openly and secretly.
It's just that none of the old guys want to do this, although Chu Xiong is still young, he will soon enter the Chu Family Elder Hall, and he can't ask about these worldly businesses, this business will sooner or later belong to the other juniors in the field.
Chu Huojiu thought that someone would ask where he went during the scene, so he could continue, but unexpectedly, no one answered. Just as he was about to say it hard, Chu Xiong waved his hand, signaling that she could retreat, she was unwilling, but she didn't dare to disobey her father, so she had to retreat and stand behind Chu Xiong.
Chu Xiong's eyes turned to his son, who was standing in front of him blankly, with mixed feelings in his heart. Once upon a time, how amazing this son was, asked the stars at the age of seven, opened nine star veins in only five years, stepped into the ninefold realm of quenching the body, became famous at a young age, was full of spirit, and entered the Helan Mountains alone to explore, but was lost in the mountains.
The Chu family used all the power they could use to find him, but they inadvertently found Chu Huohe, who had been mixed among the beggars and was delirious, in the city, and brought him back with him, the old beggar who had been taking care of him and the little yellow dog that looked a little ugly, Chu Xiong carefully examined his body, only to find that he had lost his soul and cultivation.
Chu Xiong is middle-aged, and his cultivation is profound. Overwhelming the small people, although there are still rumors, no one dares to blatantly target Chu Huohe, and continues to sit firmly as the head of the family.
It's not that he covets the position of the head of the family, it's just that in this way, he can have better resources to heal his Chu Huohe and look for that glimmer of opportunity.
Chu Xiong looked at this young man who had once amazed his peers so much that he couldn't even be jealous with encouraging eyes, and slowly spoke.
"Try it?"
