0002 Trip to the capital
The sudden sound frightened Li Yu, and his somewhat hazy thoughts suddenly sobered up.
"Is the host on, please?" the mechanical voice continued.
"On. Li Yu thought silently.
After twenty years of journey to the other world, he finally got a golden finger, and since then he has been the king and hegemon, slapping his face and pretending to be forced, but Li Yu is excited in his heart.
I saw that the mobile phone that had been suspended in the center of his consciousness suddenly popped up a message:
Name: Li Yu
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Divinity Level: Level 1 (0/1000)
Li Yu is waiting for more analysis of the system.
But on the mobile phone, there was no other message.
Even the mechanical voice from before disappeared inexplicably.
"Hey, the system, is there?"
"Hey, system, nmzl!"
Seeing that he didn't receive a response, Li Yu's mentality exploded instantly!
What the hell is this? What kind of system is a system that is wooden?
Don't I know if I'm a man or a woman, and how old I am!
I'm not a Caixukun!
North!
Li Yu complained for a while, but there was nothing he could do, and when he saw that it was getting late, he got up and went back to the house to sleep.
On the second day, as soon as it was dark, Li Yu got up.
He rented two horses from the inn, baked more than a dozen cakes, prepared the tent and a change of clothes, made breakfast, and woke up his parents and sister to eat.
The younger sister was wearing a pale yellow nightdress, with fluffy hair, sleepy eyes, and a somewhat reluctant expression.
But she knew the importance of today, but she also endured her sleepiness and washed up quickly.
After breakfast, changing clothes, and waving goodbye to their parents, the siblings rode on horseback to the provincial capital.
In the early morning, the fog was heavy, and the dew dotted the trees and grass beside the road into verdant and dripping, and even the magpies called happily.
The golden waves of wheat ripple in the wind, and everything that comes into sight is a good omen.
Seeing the brother and sister walking farther and farther, the woman leaning on the door suddenly took off her disguise and threw herself into the man's arms and cried.
"It's okay, it's okay, Xiao Yu has grown up and will take care of his sister. The man took the woman's calloused rough hand and caressed his back, his heart ached, and he whispered comfort.
The strong emotion of parting receded, and the woman also eased up, she wiped her tears, her face was a little flushed, but she was reluctant to leave the man's arms.
Twenty years, since Li Yu was born, the two have never hugged so intimately, and in a trance, she seems to have returned to twenty years ago.
At that time, everything was fine, and we had the protection of God.
Thinking about this, the woman remembered that there was something that she had not yet explained to her son, so she wanted to follow.
But the man could outrun the horse, and besides, the husband coughed violently.
She had to pray silently in her heart, hoping that Li Yu would go to the city and never make a living as a painting god again, but in the bottom of her heart, she still felt a little uneasy.
But looking at Li Yu's brothers and sisters, half an hour, they have been more than 40 miles away from the town.
The mountain road was bumpy, and the horses were a little tired, so the two dismounted and walked slowly on the mountain road.
There are no traces of people around, and the deep mountains are stacked with shadows, and the screams of elves and wild monsters can occasionally be heard.
Xiaoyi was a little scared, and couldn't help but tighten her clothes.
"Brother, how far is it to the provincial capital!"
"Can't you go?" Li Yu laughed: "We are on the border, and we have to go to the provincial capital for more than a thousand miles." ”
"Even if you travel without sleep, it will take about three days, and it's still early!"
"Oh~"
"Brother, do you think there really are evil beasts in this mountain? I heard from the priest of the academy that he once met a evil beast wolf who grew taller than two people!"
"I heard from the master of the academy that there is a lack of spirit in Asakusa Town, and no evil beast wants to survive here. Li Yu thought for a while, and then said: "But there may be some, you can bring the brooch I gave you in the morning, and you can deal with ordinary evil beasts." ”
"Hmm~" Xiao Yi responded, and seeing that the horse's strength had recovered, the two of them straddled the horse again and galloped.
At noon, the two of them had a hasty meal and continued on their way.
Maybe it's because of fear, maybe it's a rare time to leave the town, Xiaoyi's words are unexpectedly much, one will ask about the situation in the provincial capital, and the other will talk about the greatness of the god of spring.
Li Yu answered carefully, and before he knew it, it was night.
Ahead, a small town looms.
Li Yu looked through the map he got from the academy and determined that this place was a place called "Huai'en Town".
The people in this town are not the same as Asakusa, they are all blondes.
Suddenly, he saw two black-haired and black-eyed people, and they were a little wary of not letting the two enter the town.
Fortunately, there is a bearded man in the town who has been to Asakusa Town and has a relationship with Li Yu.
He persuaded the guards to let them in, and invited them to his house.
Along the way, he kept complimenting Li Yu's painting skills, and said that because of the portrait given by Li Yu, although his child was only sixteen years old, he was also talented and won the favor of the god of war, and he would go to the temple of war to pray for God in the near future.
followed the bearded man to his house, entered the door, and saw the statue of Guan Erye with a long beard and a red face hanging in the center of the room, holding a green dragon glaive knife, Li Yu couldn't help but fall into memories.
Four years ago, Li Yu experienced the misfortune of his father's critical illness and his own inability to pray to God.
Seeing a picture of Zaojun popping up on his phone, he drew it.
Although Li Yu had not learned to paint systematically before the crossing, he always liked to draw two strokes out of hobby.
Especially when you are in an irritable mood, you can calm down when you lift the brush.
After the portrait was finished, Li Yu thought that this was no longer the world before he crossed over, and there was no stove king in this world, so he wrote his origin next to the portrait of the stove king according to the information in his memory.
Old Master Lu had a close relationship with Li Yu's family, and he happened to see this scene when he visited Li Yu's father.
He felt that Li Yu had painted a statue of a god, so he asked Li Yu to paint a new one.
Moreover, let Li Yu add "begging to go to heaven, ten thousand ways of eternal prosperity" in front of the article that expounded the origin of Zao Jun. At the end of the text, add "Invite the heavens to come to the test, and pray to God." ", thus forming a complete message.
Then, a little silver light flashed from his fingertips, and it shot on the congratulatory message, which burned automatically, but the idol was recognized by the rules of heaven and earth.
It was only since then that Li Yu had a living painting statues and could make some money, even if his father was ill for a long time, the family was not ruined.
The statue of Guan Erye hanging in the bearded man's house is the twelfth portrait of Li Yu's painting.
At that time, although he was a little famous, the portrait business had not yet become big.
He met this stranger when he was setting up a stall on the street, and thought that the idol in the town would be saturated one day and still need to be developed, so he gave him the idol for free, hoping that he would help to publicize it.
I didn't want to go four years and the bearded man didn't introduce him to any business, so he ran to the bearded man's house.
"Netherton, you're a little untrustworthy. ”
Thinking of who the bearded man was, Li Yu lowered his guard a little and spoke a little more relaxed:
"Four years ago, you said that if this idol was useful, it would introduce me to some business!"
"Lee, you also know that I am in the fur business. ”
Netherton smiled haughtily:
"I've been running around for years, rarely going back to town, and I've only been back for a few days. ”
"Little Peru has been weak since he was a child, but now he has the favor of the god of war, this effect is not to be said, the people in the town know that it is your portrait blessing, and they are planning to go to Asakusa Town to find you, you came first. ”
"Hahaha, this matter has to be postponed for a while. ”
"I'm going to go to the provincial capital with my sister in the next few days, and it will take a lot of time, and the people in the town will have to wait for me to come back from the provincial capital if they want to paint a portrait. ”
"You have been in the fur business all these years, have you ever been to the provincial capital, and what business is there in the provincial capital to introduce to me? ”
"Lee, you're going to the provincial capital?" Netherton laughed, "Little Peru, come here, I've seen Uncle Lee." “
As he spoke, a strong, blond, blue-eyed young man walked out of the inner hall.
The young man obediently called Uncle Li, his eyes full of adoration.
But when I saw Li Yi, my eyes changed again, as if there was some admiration and some shyness.
"Young man, your idea is very dangerous!" Li Yu naturally saw his expression, and thought silently in his heart: "Let's talk about whether my sister will marry or not, even if you want to marry, you have to marry a Taoist person, what kind of trouble are you going to make with this expression." ”
said Netherton, and brought Li Yu and the others into the restaurant as he spoke.
"I'm going to take little Peru to the provincial capital tomorrow morning to pray to God, so we can go all the way. ”
"I've been to the provincial city a few times in the past few years, but the provincial city is full of spirits, and there are temples of the six major gods, so there is no business that needs to paint gods. ”
"However, I have seen the statues of gods hanging in the homes of several friends, although they are righteous gods, they do not have the aura that Li You painted. ”
"Li, if you really want to do it, you can rent a storefront first, paint some statues of the six gods, and slowly become famous. ”
As he spoke, he led the Li Yu brothers and sisters to the table.
"Netherton, what you say is not right, although the statues of the gods I painted are not common, but they are also the righteous gods recognized by the great god of creation, and when you say this, it seems that I am spreading a cult. Li Yu quipped: "If I draw an evil god, how can little Peru be recognized by the god of war." ”
As he spoke, the maid in the kitchen hat brought the dinner.
The main dish is turkey that is a little difficult for Li Yu to swallow, and the side dish is mashed potatoes, and to be honest, the quality doesn't look good.
But then again, no matter how bad the taste is, it's not as bad as the dry baked cakes, and after a day of traveling, Li Yu, who was already hungry with his chest against his back, still ate very happily.
"Lee, you don't know. Netherton ate a spoonful of mashed potatoes: "This great god of creation has said that there are more than six gods in heaven and earth. ”
"The Western Continent is dominated by the six major gods, and all countries regard the six major god systems as orthodox, and other gods, regardless of whether they are evil or evil, are all evil and outside. ”
"If you really talk about good and evil, those guys in the Temple of Death are definitely a proper cult, but they are also standing in the central area openly! This is the case, in the words of your Dao clan, this is called the situation is stronger than people!"
"Because of our lack of divine energy, the brilliance of the six major gods can't shine in, and we don't want to shine in. ”
"If you go to the provincial capital, you draw some statues of gods that don't belong to the six major gods, and the judgment of the temple will definitely not let you go. ”
"According to what you say, I can't do this god statue business in the provincial capital?" Old Master Lu hadn't told him this before, and the first time he heard this kind of statement, Li Yu couldn't help but groan.
"Not really. Netherton picked up the wine glass and touched it with a few people before saying, "Your skill in painting gods is rare even in the provincial capital. ”
"At that time, as long as you cooperate with the temple, the business will definitely not be bad, and you will earn even more than now. ”
"The provincial city is no smaller than ours. ”
"There, just ask for a god statue, to say the least, it will cost a gold, how much money do you make in our small town. ”
"Oh~yes~ too!" Li Yu responded perfunctorily, but he didn't take this suggestion seriously.
Again, the original question, he couldn't pray to God.
You can't pray to the gods, you can't even use prayers, let alone get the approval of the temple.
Chatting and chatting, Li Yu lost his interest in talking.
When it was dark, Netherton's wife also returned, and she greeted the Li Yu siblings quite warmly.
After sitting for a while, he pulled Li Yi to chat again.
There was a posture of talking about Li Yi as a daughter-in-law between the words, Li Yi was a little overwhelmed, Li Yu helped her out of the siege, and after telling Netherton about going to the provincial capital together tomorrow, the dinner was over.
In the second half of the night, the lights in the town dimmed, but there was a piercing gong at the entrance of the town.
