Chapter 10: Sword Immortal
Fifty years ago, Jiangcheng could be regarded as one of the few super metropolises in the Xia Kingdom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At that time, Jiangcheng was one of the few heavy industry bases in China, the thoroughfare of thirteen provinces, and the most important town in the town. In the chaotic years, it even served as the capital of the Xia Kingdom for two years.
Once, "made by the Dragon King" was the earliest and most famous ordnance and industrial brand in the Xia Kingdom, and the old wharf and old flat dan of Longguan still remember the ups and downs of the ship tide in the port, and the daily cargo throughput is innumerable.
In those years, all countries had embassies in Longguan District, and the prosperous commercial streets were mixed with architectural styles from various countries, and the shops of various countries were in the shops along the river, and foreigners could be seen everywhere on the river beaches.
Perhaps, today's Chinatown can be so loved by Jiangcheng people, because it allows locals to look back on the difficult and glorious era, the city's most glorious era.
In the past, when railway transportation and waterway transportation were still the mainstream, the complex tributary waterway network of the Jinjiang River, which crossed the river through the railway network, allowed the products here to be transported to various regions of the Shenzhou continent, which had a unique geographical advantage, so that it has always been the core area of the heavy industry industry.
Especially in the shipbuilding industry supported by the natural deep-water port, more than half of the warships in the entire Xia Kingdom back then could be labeled as made by the Dragon King..... Even today, Jiangcheng is still the core warship shipyard of the Xia Kingdom.
However, with the relaxation of the international situation and the end of the Cold War, the demand for light industry has exceeded that of heavy industry, which is linked to the military industry.
When everyone is trying to make money to improve their lives, the core area of heavy industry in Jiangcheng in the old era will naturally decline, and the rise of air and sea transportation has also made Jiangcheng's geographical advantages weaker and weaker, and Jiangcheng's political and economic status in Xia has declined.
The great development brought about by the opening up of the coastal areas, the coastal cities that seized the opportunities of the times quickly caught up, and there were no geographical advantages of the coastal cities, and there were no political and policy advantages of the capital area, and the shipyards along the route closed down one by one due to the lack of orders, and the associated steel and heavy equipment manufacturing industries naturally declined, and this once metropolis gradually declined.
But as a former metropolis, once a large factory in the central part of the country, the population base here is still very large, with the development of the times, more than three million distributed in one city and two districts has been very crowded, relying only on the old city renovation can not meet the demand, housing prices soaring is only an inevitable factor that follows.
Therefore, in order to further expand the development space, and in order to have more vacant land to attract investment, so that the GDP can look better, in the past 20 years, the Jiangcheng government has started a large-scale "land reclamation action", which includes projects such as reclaiming lakes and returning land, planning new areas, and rebuilding old areas.
The effect is unknown, but several surrounding suburbs are also divided into Jiangcheng, which has more than tripled the administrative area of the entire Jiangcheng.
With the relocation and adjustment of enterprises in the old city, the three major industrial zones after the reintegration have also become the most important part of the economic sector, which has also slightly driven the price of land in the surrounding areas....... as for why it is slightly, in fact, there are many interesting things that can be investigated.
The slogan of "young people migrating to the new area" has been shouted for many years, but the population of the surrounding suburbs and industrial areas has always been insufficient, and young people still prefer to endure the high housing prices and living pressure in the old areas.
After all, in terms of medical care, education, and commerce, the old district has obvious advantages, and it is possible to live in a prosperous city center, and anyone who wants to live in the suburbs is a two-hour drive to go to a big hospital to register.
As a result, not only the new era of the city center "sticks" to the old city, but also the new generation of the suburbs, and they must also strive to enter the city center.
"Well, it's a sparsely populated suburb, and the air is really ........ so unfresh."
The two-hour bus tossed down, and the small space and the old smokers around him couldn't stand it, but as soon as he got off the bus, a pungent smell of garbage made him miss the smoky carriage just now.
Looking back, it was probably due to the leak caused by too dense rainwater, or it was possible that the temperature was rising, and the smell of the open garbage dump not far away was really a bit smoky.
"Shengli landfill, built two years ago, disposes of more than sixty percent of the city's domestic garbage and waste, each urban area is unwilling to build on its own turf........ the result of repeatedly playing the ball, and finally the weak Yuancheng District lost I know why the housing prices in the new chemical industry area have fallen by 2,000, and they have not risen in recent years."
But the low housing prices also have the advantage of low housing prices, a little away from the garbage dump, is a leisure and vacation center called Daming Lake, there is a golf course and resort islands, many spare money but not rich middle class bought villas here, make do with vacation and leisure, and Lu Wu's destination is here.
"If I had another choice, I really didn't want to go to him........."
========
In the small forest near the lake, a five-minute walk along the stone path is a special building that seems to have been born in the wrong era.
The wooden three-storey building, the chic and delicate oak staircase, the bamboo curtain is furnished with all kinds of zither and pipa, guqin, and the walls are all kinds of Chinese paintings, calligraphy and paintings, the skills are excellent, and it is obviously worth a lot.
"The sword and the strings are harmonious."
There is no good way to get to this remote place, and the rows of luxury cars parked at the door still have many visitors.
"The taste of the world is as thin as a veil for many years, who makes the horseback rider Jinghua. Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the Ming Dynasty in the deep alleys. The dwarf paper is slanted and idle......."
Pushing open the bead curtain, the melodious trills of the guzheng echo in the room, sometimes turbulent and undulating, sometimes quiet and far away, like raindrops in the heart, and the superb skills of the performers are undoubtedly revealed.
The gentle and elegant bass singing lyrics, sometimes erratic, sometimes like whispering in the ear, sometimes high and generous, the familiar Lu You poems, just sung by him so many I sit idly and read the Yellow Garden, after the rain leisurely in the mountains of the fairy flavor.
Between the bamboo curtains, the faint incense, the pleasant guzheng, the extraordinary calligraphy and painting, and the ancient singing lyrics make the guests have a subtle illusion, as if they have passed through the tunnel of time and come to the past.
Walking through the corridor full of Chinese paintings, in the inner hall, in the midst of a group of young women and young girls, players in white Confucian costumes play the guzheng and sing lyrics.
I saw that he was born with a good skin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a beautiful face, fair skin like jade, and the slender fingers in the long sleeves deftly flicked back and forth in the guzheng.
obviously has a straight face, lowers his head, and only looks at the guzheng singing, but the corners of his eyes can cause the female audience to exclaim and blush.
Yes, the female audience, there is not a single male in the more than 20 listeners in this small hall, and judging from their fascinated eyes, it seems that they are not simply here to listen to the piano.
“……… This wave forced me to give 9.8 points, and I didn't give a full score because I was afraid that you would be proud. ”
Lu Wu took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
"Xie Thirteen, your mother called you to eat!"
The specially designed screens and wall structures are very suitable for generating echoes, and the huge sound of "your mother calling you to eat" echoed in the small room, and the guzheng stopped instantly.
The audience who were originally fascinated were first stunned, and then they all glared angrily at the rude intruder.
"What are you doing.......
Before the crowd erupted, there was a crisp sound of the "bell", and the strings forcibly played a burst of high notes, and the owner here also attracted everyone's attention.
"Today's fate is over, send off guests."
The owner of the piano seemed to be disturbed, and directly put down the guzheng and walked to the back room.
And the guests who were familiar with his temperament were also afraid that they would upset him by continuing to stay here, so they all glared at Lu Wu, who was disturbing the atmosphere, and left directly.
After half a ring, looking at the famous cars outside the window that started and left one by one, Lu Wu also walked into the inner room.
"Huh."
A cold light swept by, but the sword blade was firmly pressed against Lu Wu's neck, feeling the coldness in the vital place, but Lu Wu smiled.
"Yo, little eleven, it's been a long time, you look good, that stingy ghost is still willing to spend money on you for maintenance."
The object of Lu Wu's wave of greetings was not the shopkeeper in front of him, who was drinking tea....Xie Shisan, who was drinking Coke and nibbling on French fries and watching TV, but the ancient sword that was cruising around his neck.
The red-sleeved ancient sword was unheld but floated in the air, trembling slightly, emitting a buzzing beep, as if it was returning the salute.
"Lu Wu."
Xie Shisan's voice was as gentle as ever, but it inexplicably lowered the temperature of the room a little.
"Long time no see, you're here......."
"Well, well, I'm here, it's been a long time."
"........ I don't ask why you're still alive. If you dare to see me, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”
The killing word was born, the cold light flickered, and all the key points of Lu Wu were pointed at by the twelve ancient swords, as long as the sword edge stretched forward slightly, it would become a hedgehog.
Feeling the coldness of the sword blade, Lu Wu's face was full of grief, as if he saw some betrayer and a negative person.
"At that time, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters from my throat, but after a quarter of the incense, the owner of the sword will fall in love with me completely, because I am going to tell the most perfect lie in this life, cough, at first, there was a sincere relationship in front of me......."
"........ you are not serious, believe it or not, I really stabbed you to death with a sword. Also, this stalk is too old, and young people nowadays don't use it for a long time. ”
Facing his hippie smiling former partner, Xie Shisan shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and those ancient swords disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Come on, my time is limited, and I don't want to waste it on people like you."
For Xie Shisan, who cherishes words like gold, it is also unlucky to meet a gummy candy like Lu Wu, but judging from the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, although he shouts and kills, his real mood seems to be good.
"Seeing that you are lonely and pitiful, let me introduce you to an apprentice."
"Apprentice? Nominal? ”
"True biography. A full set of real kung fu plus actual combat experience, the kind that teaches and packs. ”
Xie Shisan pointed directly at the door with his middle finger, "Where did you come from, where are you going", and even the words were saved.
"I beg you, how can I owe you a favor."
Still smiling, his hands folded and bowed slightly, but Xie Shisan's eyes widened, as if he saw something incredible.
"You Lu Wu, how can you still beg someone?"
"Hmm."
"She's important to you? Can you come to me and bow your head and beg for someone? ”
Lu Wu nodded slightly, there was no need to deny anything at this time.
"Very important, help me."
At this time, it was Xie Shisan's turn to be silent, he lay on the sofa, half loud, and then spoke.
"Little ghost, it's good that you were so honest back then."
"Then you won't be called a little ghost, you're only six years older than me, pretend to be a big brother."
“……… Why don't you teach yourself, you are the ....... of the Lu family in Longxi?"
A light cough interrupted Xie Shisan's words, these things that had already passed, Lu Wu didn't want to talk about them at all.
"Ahem, the relationship is too close to be ruthless without dignity, and naturally I can't be a good teacher........ okay, okay, don't use the sword blade to compare with my temple, I'll be honest."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Wu finally reluctantly told the true reason.
"What do you think will happen if she is a half-acquaintance who got involved with me, learned my private skills, and passed them on?"
"It's going to die, it's going to die quickly, it's miserable, it's inexplicable."
Looking at Xie Shisan's face and suddenly realized, Lu Wu couldn't help but laugh and cry, in a sense, after "that incident" happened five years ago, he had become a veritable disaster star.
And the topic has reached this point, it can end here, although it is not explicitly stated, but Lu Wu knows that this old partner, who is cold and hot, has already agreed to his request.
"This is her basic information, it's best to 'meet by chance' with her, just arrange it casually, rest assured that she is very stupid and will not have any suspicions."
Putting down the envelope, getting up, Lu Wu was about to leave, but all kinds of ancient swords were still in front of him, and Xie Shisan's murderous aura and words sounded behind his ears.
"Now that we're done with the right thing, let's settle the old score, let's start with the thing you kidnapped me out of the mountain before."
Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead, and now, Lu Wu really felt the threat of death.
"That thing? Oooo Haven't you given up on that dream? ”
"Nonsense, how can you give up! It's my life's work. ”
Speaking of dreams, Xie Shisan became more and more emotional, many years ago, Lu Wu used lies to deceive himself out of the mountain, and finally the cruel reality gave him a heavy blow.
Looking at Xie Jianxian with a flushed face, Lu Wu's eyes were full of pity and sympathy, this baby is obviously normal in all aspects, why can't he think about it as soon as he arrives at that.
"Give up....... Cats can't become beautiful girls. ”
"Who cares about cats! I want a sword, a sword spirit girl! This is documented in many monuments, and it is definitely not a possible utopia. ”
Yes, this level in front of me is as elegant as a fairy...... In fact, he is really a handsome man of the sword immortal lineage, probably heard a lot of myths and stories when he was a child, and his lifelong dream is to make his fairy sword into a refined shape and add fragrance to his red sleeves.
In order to achieve his goal, other sword immortals only raised one immortal sword in his life, he not only cultivated thirteen swords, and spent a lot of energy cultivating their spirituality, but also changed his name to Xie Thirteen to warn himself never to give up on his dreams.
And many years ago, what Lu Wu used to trick Xie Shisan, who was still practicing, was a simulation game related to his dream.
"Sword Lady Collect Go! Brother Xie, there are a lot of swordsmen in this game, you can date together and get married, but unfortunately there is no computer in Shanmen and you can't play........ or let's go out together to make money and buy a computer, I also have a lot of games I want to play. ”
As soon as he remembered that his innocent self in the past was deceived by the seemingly innocent little devil in front of him, and was dragged by him to work as a day job for many years, and as a shield and unlucky bastard countless times, Xie Shisan had the urge to sharpen his sword and kill.
And when I remembered that many years later, I worked hard to make money to buy a house and install a computer (the simple mountain children didn't think about going to the Internet café at all), and I really played the dream sword girl game, and even more cheating happened.
"It's a sword girl, not a ship girl! I don't want some ship girl to collect, you bastard definitely did it on purpose! Do you know that it was easy for me to hide a 'plaything' game in the old old school? Later, I also specialized in learning computers, learning the language of the country where the game was produced, and finally being able to play, but what I saw was a warship girl and a captain with a muscular man, how desperate I was! Do you know! ”
Hearing this, Lu Wu was surprised, Lu Wu was in a trance, and Lu Wu suddenly realized.
"Oh oh, Ah Wu heard it wrong, I'm sorry."
clenched his fist and patted his head, stuck out his tongue to admit his mistakes, and faced Xie Shisan, who habitually ran away at the mention of the past, Lu Wu also habitually responded cutely.
But Lu Wu also overlooked some things, seven or eight years ago, he was a cute black-bellied Meng Zhengtai, with a 100% success rate in selling cuteness, and now he .......
"Aha, eat me and slash me in the wind!"
"Empty-handed into the white blade!"
The blade of the sword was on the bridge of his nose, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands for a bit, and beads of sweat the size of beans dripped down his cheeks.
The true sword immortal of the ability to slash people with a sword, Lu Wu is indeed very capable.
And Xie Shisan's bloodshot eyes and gasping for white breath made Lu Wu feel that he would not give another deal, and if he didn't do it well today tomorrow, it would really be his own death day.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I knew I was wrong and brought a gift to compensate you. This time, it's a real sword anthropomorphic game, and the name is Sword Dance! ”
Hearing the sword lady, Xie Shisan instantly cooled down, and he hesitantly took the gift plate, on the cover was a pair of staggered swords, as well as beautiful character illustrations.
"........ how come I haven't heard of it."
"Dongying DDP's latest game,The new work of the company's ship's mother,It's still in internal testing.,I finally got it through a middleman.。 The official launch will be next year. ”
Repeatedly determined in Dongying, who was not proficient, that this was really a sword anthropomorphic collection game, Xie Shisan's eyes were red, and he was almost moved to tears when he looked at his old partner in front of him who had not forgotten his hobbies.
Then....... he left the guest without hesitation, and returned to his bedroom very rudely, the computer was turned on, and he looked at the blue sky and white clouds with an expectant face, and there was a trace of the previous fairy spirit.
This perfectly illustrates that when a game fan encounters the game of his dreams, he will not hesitate to throw away all clutter, even if he is indeed a sword fairy.
Lu Wu, who had long expected this situation, shook his head, said hello to the spirit swords, and also got up to say goodbye.
As soon as Lu Wu went out, his slow pace instantly turned into a quick escape, and not surprisingly, two minutes after Lu Wu went out, a miserable scream echoed throughout Daming Lake.
"Ahh Lu Wu, you cheated me again! ”
Yes, Lu Wu didn't lie, Sword Dance is indeed a sword anthropomorphic game, and judging from the type of character collection in the game, it is Xie Shisan's favorite, and it was not taken out to please from the beginning, just because.......
"Ahhhh There are a lot of naked men in T-pants! A lot of muscular men full of oily shiny hugging each other! Why hurt my eyes! My eyes! Blind, really blind! Lu Wu little bastard, I am inseparable from you"
……… It's just that this is a hardcore female-oriented sword man collection game, and it's a bit rotten.......
