Volume 1: A Trip to Huainan Chapter 2: Journey to Huainan
On the vast surface of the river, the smoke ripples with the shadow of the mountain-shaped tower
In the middle of the river, the lonely boat slowly sailed towards the dock, crossing the mist-shrouded river, and the man standing in front of the dock became clearer and clearer.
The man did not wave, nor did he shake his head, but stood still with his body long, but the mist did not cover his side.
"Master Zhou, the child has been sent to you. ”
Bamboo's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his expression was strange, but the man didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
Until the man refocused his gaze on Zhou Yusheng's body, his eyes were indifferent, and he gently took Zhou Yusheng from Zhu Ran's hand.
"Hmm. He nodded lightly, took Zhou Yusheng's hand and got into the carriage.
The carriage passed slowly, the sound was silent and monotonous, and there were only two horses pulling the carriage, handsome and strong, and the hooves of the horses clattered against the ground, splashing with gusts of sand and mist.
A burst of yellow sand swept by, and Zhou Yusheng didn't even have time to wave goodbye to Zhu Ran and Granny He, and when his head was out of the car curtain, the Qingshui City, which had many memories, had disappeared from the yellow sand.
As the car drove farther and farther south, Zhou Yusheng's heart was empty, whether it was the heavy bag in his hand that made him feel a trace of warmth, and the longing for returning home became more and more intense
"What's your name?" The jolting sound of the carriage gradually drowned out the weak voice of Zhou Yusheng sitting in the carriage.
"Master Zhou. He replied lightly.
Zhou Yusheng looked up at the clear sky outside the car curtain, sighed lightly, and fell silent.
"Isn't it homesick?" Outside the carriage, a lukewarm voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Yusheng's pupils shrank, and he felt that this voice was very familiar.
"Are you wondering who I am?"
Zhou Yusheng coughed, not daring to have any thoughts.
This man is like a roundworm in his stomach, he knows everything in his heart.
"Don't say precious, don't say goodbye, just like that, leave silently. The man said silently.
Zhou Yusheng finally felt the familiar indifference from this sentence, the kind of cold meaning that was close at hand, as if it had reappeared yesterday.
"You're the man in the Purple Fire Temple. ”
Zhou Yusheng opened the car curtain in a daze, and the back that was not majestic made the middle-aged man who had left a deep impression on him and saved his life before slowly emerge in his mind.
"You don't have a bad memory. His tone softened, and his voice was clearly not as cold as before.
The carriage was still advancing, passing over the West Chu Mountain, and it was not known where it was heading.
"Where are we going?" asked Zhou Yusheng.
"Huainan. The man shook the horsewhip's hand for a long time, and only after a long time did he reply with a concise and understandable word.
Zhou Yusheng chuckled in his heart, and the name on the letter appeared in his mind.
After a long time, he sighed a little lonely, and then clenched his fists tightly, as if he was cheering himself up, and said softly: "The outside world will definitely be more exciting..."
"What kind of place is Huainan. He rubbed his hands secretly, his eyes were a little restrained, and he asked timidly.
"Qingshui City is a long way from Huainan, so I'll tell you about it. ”
A horse-drawn carriage heading into the night, passing through the West Chu Mountain, shuttling through the silence and hustle and bustle.
"Huainan, as one of the largest forces in the Xuantian Empire, is the threshold for Xuantian to select future disciples to enter the sect, because Xuantian belongs to the south of the mainland, so when the three major Huai realms were divided, it was called Huainan.
Huainan is divided into five halls: A, B, C, D, and E According to the division of the spiritual veins, there is an opportunity to choose each hall, and so on, each hall starts from A, and the cultivation resources of each hall are also divided.
Entering Huainan is the best shortcut to get exercises and resources, you will meet a lot of people, but Huainan summed up that this Zhong people are only divided into two kinds, one is a person with amazing talents, a person with ordinary qualifications, and another type of person, that is, the people who will be recruited into the Imperial Forest Army in the future, even if they are released, they will not do much.
Exercises, martial arts, pills, Huainan accounts for half of the resources circulating in the market, so in the hearts of countless people on the mainland, as long as they step into Huainan, it can basically be said that the future is worry-free, everyone who comes out of Huainan will be regarded as a talent by all parties to snatch it, and the future can be described as a bright future.
Therefore, every year in Jinqi and Tang, there are countless young people who fight for their scalps and try every means to drill into Huainan.
But that's just the way it goes. ”
The sound of the reins of the horse suddenly came from a rapid cry, the tireless carriage suddenly stopped, Zhou Yusheng's eyes looked ahead, and in front of him was a small gang of intercepted cars composed of several rugged men.
"Boss, it seems to be a car to Huainan. The pair of scarred faces, a pair of jackals stared closely at the carriage parked in the night, and said in a timid and hesitant voice.
"How long has it been since we had oil and water in Tiannan. If you don't grab the big pen, nearly a hundred brothers in the Tiannan Society will starve to death, do you know?" his eyes showed a fierce light, and his face was full of cruelty.
"However, it was a bus to Huainan. His voice was always crying, and he couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.
It seems that if he is not forced by the pressure of the man around him, he will immediately turn around and leave.
There is an unwritten rule in the Tiannan Society that any car can be intercepted, except for the car going to Huainan.
All the members have seen the appearance of Huainan's official car on the portrait, and they also know the stakes in it, so in recent years, there have been no hot-brained gangs to intercept the car to Huainan.
His expression was haughty, and there was a touch of contempt in his cold eyes.
"What would Tiannanhai think if he knew that you intercepted Huainan's car. ”
Zhou Yusheng shivered again, the feeling of falling into an ice cave, through that indifferent tone, he could feel that the temperature around him was dropping from the curtain of the car.
"Let's go. The jackal-eyed man obviously felt the change in the temperature around him, and his cheeks were already drenched in cold sweat, and he tentatively retreated backwards behind him.
But he was deafened by a deafening shout, stopped his backward steps, and immediately could only face the murderous gaze, and walked up hard.
"You pedantic old man, don't use my name as the leader of my family to press me. I was born as a member of the Tiannan Society, and when I died, I was a ghost of the Tiannan Society. If they knew that I died for them, they would be grateful to me. The man in the lead slapped his chest, his head held high, like a red cloth in a bullfight, and his eyes oozed bloodshot violently.
That roar made him look heroic, and it was all about his fearless courage.
Zhou Yusheng and the jackal-eyed man rolled their eyes at the same time, and the jackal-eyed man decided on the spot to leave here.
The sound of an ape's roar kept coming, and the jackal-eyed man beside him disappeared without a trace at some point.
"Reckless. Reckless. This is a second-year teenager who has no culture and has no enthusiasm. Zhou Yusheng shook his head, with a sense of regret in his tone, put down the curtain on his arm, and no longer looked at his useless courage.
"Ahh
The curtain was lowered, and after a while, the stagnant carriage slowly moved forward again, and the indifferent tone passed the fierce-looking man, and said softly: "I still think about the brother of the Tiannan Society until you die, spare your life for the time being." ...”
Listening to Master Zhou's cold tone, Zhou Yusheng's face was not filled with a smile, and a chill spread out from his heart.
Retracting his gaze, the carriage continued slowly towards the south.
After the carriage left, the jackal-eyed man who was hiding in a bush came out, and his body shook suddenly.
On the ground, the man was shrunk to the ground, his hideous face was already covered with bruises and swelling, looking extremely ugly, and on the ground beside him, more than a dozen blood-stained teeth were scattered at random, looking extremely dazzling......
"In three days, we will be in Huainan. I couldn't resist the sleepiness, and at the last second before waking up, a faint sound came from outside the car curtain.
The bumps of the carriage, coupled with the fear of night and day, made the rest of the week quickly drowsy.
Zhou Fuzi's jaw was headed, the carriage slowly moved towards Huainan, the afternoon sun was lazy, even with the pedestrians on the road was a little more lazy, but the weather changed very quickly, a cool breeze blew the clouds in the sky to avoid quickly, soon, the dark clouds swept the whole land, boom, and the downpour followed the world.
Zhou Yusheng they were lucky, after a quick ride, they found that there was a small town in front of them, and soon after entering the town, they saw that although the inn's shop sign was wet by the rain, they could still see the word Zhou Xianzhuang.
"Have you arrived?"
"Not yet, but we're going to have to stay here today. Master Zhou took a look, but the sky was not beautiful, so he had to stay here for one night.
December rains, drizzles, and the road ahead is swampy.
Taking advantage of the rain, holding an oil-paper umbrella, a graceful woman with a graceful figure walked slowly.
