Chapter 171: Late Bloomer
Starfall North, Duan's Family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the quiet and elegant study, a man in a cloth coat looked through the ancient books in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows when he was tired, took a nap, and then checked again.
A man in black pushed open the door and walked in.
"It's been so many days, just forget it if you can't find it."
Ning Qingfeng randomly pulled out a yellowed book from the bookshelf full of ancient books, patted the dust on it, and said slowly.
On the table in front of Duan Tian was a black dragon-patterned card, on which there was a lifelike blue-black beast.
"The spirit beast born by the giant spiritual liquid is also related to the mysterious Hundred Beast Daoist, this matter is not trivial, we have to investigate it carefully."
Duan Tian put down the ancient book in his hand, his eyes were deep.
Ning Qingfeng leaned on the bookshelf, threw away the notebook in his hand at will, the notebook returned to its previous position intact, and he said in a deep voice: "The Hundred Beast Dao people are not the people of the Starfall, except for listening to the Snow Tower and some scattered records, no one knows the information about him, we are looking for it, it is tantamount to. Look for a needle in a haystack. ”
Duan Tian rubbed his temples and nodded: "I also know this, but maybe I happened to find it, idle is also idle, try some luck." ”
In this regard, Ning Qingfeng could only smile helplessly.
"By the way, what about the old-timer?"
Duan Tian put the book on the table and said casually.
"After he went out of Xiao Mo, he disappeared, otherwise you can ask him a thing or two about this beast Daoist."
Ning Qingfeng spread his hands.
Duan Tian nodded slightly, and then said softly: "Aren't you cultivating in the back mountain, why did you have time to come to me, or is something happening again?" ”
"Hey, aren't you worried about Xiao Mo, he and Wei Ning went all the way to the Cangshui Empire and Quliu Kingdom, I'm afraid that he will be bullied there."
Ning Qingfeng sighed, and then frowned: "This year's Yuanmen is indeed not very decent, and he really dares to let the two little guys go out alone like this, and there is not a single accompanying elder." ”
Duan Tian shook his head and said slowly, "I asked Liu Yuan and them not to follow." ”
Ning Qingfeng was stunned.
Duan Tian's gaze looked south, south of the north, and the middle.
"Huangfu Xingshan's 100,000 iron cavalry is coming to Dangui City."
Duan Tian's voice was calm and a little indifferent, and he said, "The edict says that it is to assist the desert to fight the corpse plague, but only they know what they are thinking about secretly. ”
Ning Qingfeng's brows furrowed deeply.
"Whether these 100,000 iron horsemen are really going to go to the desert in the north of us, or to the east, or to the west, I'm afraid this matter depends on Huangfu Xingshan himself."
Duan Tian's face was calm.
Ning Qingfeng thought for a moment, and his face sank: "Does this Huangfu Xingshan dare to take advantage of the four major sects to participate in the Extreme North Region Sect Competition?" ”
Duan Tian seemed to sneer and said, "I don't dare to give him ten dares, he just wants to try it, the reaction of the three departments of the east, west and north, the rogue in the south is too chaotic, let them give that mess, and they don't want it." ”
"I see."
Ning Qingfeng nodded and said, "That's why you didn't let Liu Yuan and them go with Mo'er, at this moment, the elders of the Yuan Sect and Liu Yuan should be in the western realm at this moment." ”
Duan Tian stood with his hands in his hands and said slowly: "There is me in the north, there are giants in the east, and there are Liu Yuan and others in the west, these 100,000 iron horses, I will see where Huangfu Xingshan is going." ”
Starfall should be saved, but the royal family will not be left.
The consensus of the world.
――――
Edge gate, edge mountain.
An old beggar in rags tied a wine gourd around his waist, carried a broom in his hand, and swept the stairs step by step, with a mountain of 4,000 zhang and 24,000 steps, and the old beggar was not in a hurry all the way, and it took him an hour to reach the top.
At the stairs at the top of the mountain, the old man who swept the floor sat on the ground, looked at the old beggar who swept up the stairs, smiled faintly, and took the broom from his hand.
"If the heart is peaceful, thousands of miles of ups and downs are only one step away."
The old beggar glanced at the steep staircase below, sat down beside the sweeping old man, and said slowly.
"It's a pity that your heart is not quiet."
The old man sweeping the floor glanced at a drop of sweat on the old beggar's forehead, shook his head, and said.
The old beggar said calmly: "My heart is dead, how can I say that I am quiet, the silence is almost the same." ”
The sweeping old man sighed, and immediately looked at the sea of clouds in front of him, his gaze seemed to penetrate everything, and said in a deep voice: "What a spectacular scenery, 100,000 iron horses are densely packed, like the trend of black armor, I haven't seen such a scene for a long time." ”
The old beggar untied the wine gourd on his waist and handed it to the old man sweeping the floor, who shook his head slightly, and the old beggar poured a sip of wine and said lightly: "I forgot, you don't drink." ”
"Drinking too much wine hurts the body, and drinking less is boring, and it is far less good than my tea."
With a flip of his palm, the old man sweeping the floor took out a pair of ordinary lacquered porcelain bowls and iron kettles, poured two bowls, and immediately pushed them to the old beggar.
The old beggar put the wine gourd aside, picked up the porcelain bowl, and a trace of remembrance flashed in his eyes: "It's still the same tea, it's still the same...... Flavor. ”
This plain tea, which is not even worth a gold coin, is more precious than ten thousand gold in the eyes of old beggars and sweeping old people.
The old man who swept the floor poured tea into the porcelain bowl in the old beggar's hand again, and said slowly: "Do you remember the second time we met?" ”
The old beggar's hand holding the porcelain bowl shook slightly, spilled some tea, he raised his head and took a sip of tea, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Remember, I was traveling with Qingyu at that time, and I happened to meet you being robbed by a gang of bandits, Qingyu recognized you as the second child of the tea shop that day, and rescued you." ”
The old sweeper smiled, with a slight self-deprecation in his smile: "At that time, I only dared to tell you that those gangs were bandits, but in fact they were from the big family in their hometown. ”
The old beggar was silent, and then said softly: "I should have thought of it a long time ago, which gang of bandits will not rob the treasure, but only cut off your hands and feet, and let you flee for your life." ”
A gust of wind blew through the old man's clothes, and the hunting sound, faintly revealing the scar on his shoulder.
The old man sweeping the floor sipped his tea, and his voice was calm: "The story I told you last time is not over, I left on the third day after meeting you in the tea shop, and returned to my hometown restaurant with great difficulty, and inquired about the whereabouts of the big family. ”
The sweeping old man smiled faintly, inexplicably: "I never expected that there was a spiritual power cultivator in that big family, although he could only step into the spiritual core realm, but that was a spiritual power cultivator, a spiritual power cultivator who was out of reach for ordinary people." ”
"I escaped desperately, I was chased by them for three days and three nights, they were not ready to end me with a knife, but were ordered to torture me, and in my most desperate and painful time, I met you again."
The old beggar exhaled lightly, and the rest of the story was that they rescued him, healed him, and then took him to Yuanmen by the way, and at that time, Yuanmen had one more sweeping boy from then on.
Until now.
The old man who swept the floor put away the porcelain bowl and said calmly: "Qingyu doesn't say it, but I know that after listening to my story, she looked down on me a little, because she looked down on a cowardly man and didn't even dare to avenge her father." ”
The old sweeper continued: "I never dared to tell her, but in fact, that day, I went with revenge, because I didn't even have the courage to talk to her." ”
The old beggar raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Qingyu has never looked down on you, she just thinks that you are too comfortable, so comfortable that you don't even have the blood that a man should have in your bones." ”
"The people of the rivers and lakes who are happy to take revenge can endure and retreat, but they will never escape."
The old man who swept the floor said in a low voice: "I was also young, I was also hot-blooded, and the blood in my bones is stronger than anyone else, but my reason tells me that I am not qualified to be hot-blooded, and my bloodiness is not qualified to be revealed." ”
"In this world, strength is respected, whether it is the tea shop Xiaoer, or the broken hand and foot sweeper of the door, I am not qualified to say anything, I actually want to take revenge, I also want to be like you, talk to her, laugh and play."
The old man who swept the floor smiled sadly: "By the time I am qualified enough to take revenge, he has already been euthanized, and I want to vent the anger that I have accumulated for more than ten years on his family, but I can't do it, this matter has nothing to do with them." ”
"When I'm qualified enough to find her, she'll ......"
The old sweeper took a deep breath and stood up.
The old porcelain bowl in the old beggar's hand cracked inch by inch, and he lowered his head, his hair was scattered, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
"Haha, what a late bloomer, I'm doing it now, who can see it?"
The old man who swept the floor stood in the air, and the monstrous aura rose to the sky, like a tornado on the ground, rolling the surrounding sea of clouds, and the wind suddenly rose all around.
The old man who swept the floor held the palm of his hand, and the sea of clouds in the sky turned into a thousand zhang cloud bow, and the hurricane made an arrow, and shot an arrow at Dangui City, which was thousands of miles away, and the hurricane's arrow pierced everything, constantly shuttling in the space, the speed was as fast as a frightening flood, and the place where it passed was like a thunderbolt flashing in the sky.
Outside Dangui City, there is a black tide of iron horses, the number is dense, there are 100,000, and the atmosphere of slaughter on the battlefield is extremely terrifying.
The thunder that came from the space turned into a thousand hurricane arrows, and smashed down on the ground in front of the 100,000 iron horsemen, and the whole land trembled, and people everywhere turned on their backs, and the ears were full of roaring sounds, which were deafening.
An arrow shook a hundred thousand iron horsemen.
On this day, on the day of the imperial capital, a rainbow light flew away, and the great eunuch Sun Zhong carried the holy decree to urgently recruit 100,000 iron horsemen to return to Beijing.
It is rumored that on that day, after Sun Zhong arrived in Dangui City, the first thing he did was to hold the edict in his hand and bow deeply to the east.
On the edge of the mountain, the figure of the sweeping old man fell, and sat silently on the stairs, side by side with the old beggar.
The old beggar raised his head after a while, and gently patted the shoulder of the old man who was sweeping the floor: "Your late bloomer, the whole world can see it." ”
The sweeping old man walked down step by step, his body lonely, and his desolate voice echoed.
"But in my life, I only want to show two people, he and her, but I can't see it."
