If the Honglian Town of the Shen family is a vigorous and prosperous commercial town, and the fairy spirit realm of the Su family is a beautiful water town with eternal Changchun and poetic pleasure, then the Gongyang City of the Song family is a palace with a lofty and majestic atmosphere.

Even the roadside wine and guest building are carved and painted like palaces and pavilions, which are extremely luxurious. On the side of the courtyard of the street and alley, the decoration of the white jade railing, with the young men and women in brocade clothes and jade crowns, all show the appearance of grandeur and wealth.

-- Strong on the outside and dry on the middle.

Shen An, who knew the future fate of the Song family, snorted disdainfully in his heart, but the contempt and uninterestingness in his heart did not affect the excitement and excitement of the people around him.

"Which ones are you going to attend this year?" Sitting in a teahouse, Zhu Feizhen asked excitedly: "Are there any warriors here who have the confidence to win all six major games?" ”

"Six big games?" Qian Tang frowned and said: "Isn't there only a question conference, a question about martial arts, a question device, and the new question medicine and ask art in the first two realms, a total of five competitions?" Where did the sixth game come from? ”

"Hey...... Don't say I'm a 'jack of all trades' when you go out in the future, Zhu Feizhen's senior brother, I'm ashamed! Zhu Feizhen shook his head, with a sad look: "The hidden sixth competition, that is the most exciting and the most exciting competition!" What's so great about being able to get on the first four! If you can stand out in the sixth game, it will be the ancestors who accumulate virtue and the chicken dog ascends to heaven! ”

"Zhu Bapo! Getting to the point! Wei Feihua gave him an angry look.

"Don't believe it, the champion of the fifth game that year, but from an unknown overseas casual cultivator, he ascended to the sky in one step, and suddenly became the fast son-in-law of the Iron Pen Horse family!" Zhu Feizhen smiled and said, "That's right! In the sixth competition, if you want to participate, there is a way for you to go, that is, to ask the United States Conference! ”

"Poof!" Qian Tang spit out all the tea, didn't care about the rudeness, shook his head left and right, and said: "How can a man be described as beautiful, a dignified man, how can he participate in this kind of conference and be judged by others?" ”

"What do you mean? Can a woman be judged? "Wei Feihua is-for-tat.

"Senior Sister Wei, I didn't mean that." Qian Tang said with an embarrassed face: "I just think it...... Men participate in this ...... Ay...... Weird ...... Senior Brother Zhu, don't say anything about this, I always feel that it doesn't sound good. ”

"Eating color also, the parents of the body hair and skin, the parents gave themselves a good skin, shouldn't they be good sè sè?" Zhu Feizhen shook his head and said: "To be honest, I really want to participate in the 'Ask Beauty' competition, but with Senior Brother Shen here, I am afraid that Senior Brother Shen will participate, and I will be humiliated by myself at that time." ”

Shen An had long been used to Zhu Feizhen's nonsense, and he didn't care. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I only plan to participate in the Wenwen Conference, Senior Brother Zhu is interested in winning the 'Wenmei' competition, so you can sign up with confidence." ”

This seat is not here for fun, Shen Anxin said. He will appear here for the sake of Yuanhui.

-- It is impossible for a Buddhist practitioner to participate in the questioning and questioning of the instrument, so he can only preach the way of the Dharma through the Guò Wenwen Conference. Yuan Hui will definitely appear at that conference.

Fame in the world is not the time when Shen An should care about it now, his purpose is only to kill Yuan Hui and change his life against the sky.

"Doesn't Senior Brother Shen participate in the Ask the Doctor Competition?" Qian Tang asked.

Qiantang's grandmother is terminally ill, but she has no money to hire a famous doctor because of her family's lack of money. When the Qian family had already given up and thought that the end of Grandma Qian was approaching, Shen An rejuvenated and rescued Grandma Qian. What made Qian Tang most grateful was that Shen An even allowed the Qian family to owe medical funds first, and then pay after they had enough money.

Therefore, Qiantang greatly admired Shen An's medical skills, and respected his medical ethics even more. This time, he was fortunate to represent the Su family in the competition, that is, he was pregnant to enter the top three, win the bonus, and repay Shen An's medical resources earlier.

Shen An smiled silently, of course he couldn't tell him the real reason for participating in the essay contest, and Qian Tang only revealed it when Shen An was low-key and didn't want to attract attention.

Because the Ask Doctor and Ask Art Contest are the two least valued competitions.

"In other words, do you want to bet on who will win the three-question championship this year?" Zhu Feizhen was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and said with excitement on his face: "After all, the highest gold content is still the Questioning Martial Arts, Questioning Instrument and Questioning Essay Competition." Tsk, I can see the bloody storm coming. ”

"Senior Brother Zhu, cultivators should restrain themselves and strictly prohibit gambling." Qian Tang frowned and said: "Besides, the Taoist conference is to meet friends with the Tao, and the emphasis is on acquaintance with friends, if it is used to gamble to win or lose, it is really against the true intention of the ancestors." ”

"That's why I said that you selected disciples are not interesting." Zhu Feizhen pouted and said: "Every time I ask the question, there are more people who use us as lottery heads to have fun outside." It's better for you to waste your chance to make a fortune. ”

"What is there to bet on, anyway, 'Jin Sanwen' will definitely be contracted by the four of us, there is no suspense about this." Wei Feihua shrugged and said, "It's better to bet on Jin San and ask who the leader of the flowers is." ”

"Jin Sanwen" is to ask about martial arts, instruments, and texts. Since the "Ask the Doctor" and "Ask the Art", these three competitions have been put forward separately, collectively referred to as the "Golden Three Questions". The Three Questions is a project that has existed since the First Asking Questions, and it is also the most important project for the elders of the world.

Originally, for the obscure Sanxiu, this conference was an opportunity to become famous all over the world. However, due to the excellent talents of the disciples of the family, coupled with the protection of the family, and the elixir artifact, almost all the top three realms of the "Golden Three Questions" in the recent years have been contracted by the four. Because of this, two new competitions, Ask a Doctor and Ask Art, have been added to encourage overseas casual practitioners to participate.

After all, the bonuses are all the same. No matter which program you get in the top three, there is a lucrative reward temptation, and overseas casual cultivators who lack resources will never let go of this opportunity.

"I heard that both the Ma family and the Shen family have disciples of the Yu Dan this year, and the leader of the 'Jin San Wen' may be in these two families." Because Wei Feihua was going to participate in the Wenwu Conference, she couldn't help but join the topic, and she said a little frustratedly: "If the other party has already married Dan, it will be directly crushed by the class, and there is no need to compare." ”

"This is also something that can't be helped...... Zhu Feizhen also rarely castrated: "After all, the Ma family has received more disciples than the Su family, and in the past two years, the Shen family has even collected disciples with outstanding talents. Life in the world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat...... To be honest, doesn't the head of the family really plan to change the rule of 'only accepting water spirit roots' disciples? ”

"The head of the house should have his own plans." Shen An, who had been silent for a long time, rarely spoke, because in his previous life, almost all the young talents in the four families went crazy at the end. Although Shen An disagreed with Su Jinglin's way of disciplining the disciples under his seat, Shen An knew that Su Jinglin's obedience was precisely to ensure the safety of his disciples.

"The best practice in the Jindan period is to practice around the age of thirty or forty. If you ask the pursuit of speed, you will only go crazy, and the gains outweigh the losses. Shen An explained.

"But Uncle Sanssouci is eighteen-year-old and married?" Zhu Feizhen retorted: "The head of the Shen family also married Dan when he was in his twenties. ”

"Because my uncle is a genius." Shen An laughed and said, "And my father—"

-- He's a madman.

Thinking of Shen Aoduo, Shen Anxin sank.

In his previous life, Shen An was ordered by Tianyuan Zhenren to stay in the mountains to practice because of the damage to his spiritual root, so he did not have the opportunity to participate in this grand event.

However, there are two things that impressed him and he has not forgotten it to this day.

One is this questioning conference, and the person who won the leader of the "Golden Three Views" is his younger brother Shen Ping.

Another thing is that at that asking the Dao conference, his master Gao Wanshou actually comprehended the out-of-body period that he couldn't break through for a long time, and his cultivation was almost a step up.

However, what made Shen Angeng strange was that after the conference, Gao Wanshou did not seem satisfied and happy, and was even full of anxiety and anger. Didn't something unknown happen at that conference?

"Brother An? Do you have a bad face and need to rest? ”

An Puyu's immature voice sounded, and Zhao Hu on the side quickly handed over a cup of new tea.

An Puyu has just turned six years old after the New Year, but An Ruyi has already begun to plan for her son's future, although An Jia's winemaking is an ancestral craft, An Puyu also likes this skill. However, like all mothers who want their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes, An Ruyi does not want her son's future path to be nailed to that small workshop.

Therefore, in this Dao Conference, in addition to safely handing over Zhao Hu to Master Qing Yu, An Puyu came out to see the world as Shen An's sword boy.

"I'm fine, I'm just trying to ask about the conference." Shen An smiled at the two of them and said, "It's the two of you, do you feel uncomfortable after passing through the Guò Magic Circle?" ”

An Puyu shook her head, indicating that she had no problem. But Zhao Hu finally couldn't help it, and said with a disgusting expression: "Indeed...... I want to vomit ......."

"The first time I sat in the teleportation circle, I wasn't used to normal." Shen An smiled: "I'll take you out to get some air." ”

After Shen An said goodbye to Zhu Feizhen, he left with Zhao Hu and An Puyu, this was the first time that the two children came to the Song Family Palace Yang City, and they were completely different from the Su Family's Immortal Spirit Realm. Zhao Hu looked around curiously, and his previous uncomfortable expression was swept away.

"It's so lively here." An Puyu stared around with wide eyes: "If you open a tavern here, business must be very good." ”

Shen An couldn't help laughing, he picked up An Puyu, who couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and said: "Half of the city is prosperous, and Luo Qi doesn't know how to get drunk." ”

"What does that mean?" Zhao Hu tugged on Shen An's sleeve and looked up and asked.

"The Qin Immortal Song family regards wine as a lowly thing. Only mediocre and inactive ordinary people will drink it. Shen An explained with a smile: "Have you seen those richly dressed people? None of them drink. If you want to do business here, you really want to fork it. ”

"How boring is life without drinking?" Zhao Hu said with disgust: "No wonder Elder Su has withdrawn the Song family's marriage contract, and if he wants me, I will also quit." ”

"I think it may be that Miss Song doesn't like her uncle." Shen An couldn't cry or laugh, as for Su Wuwu's "fame" in the Qinglou a few years ago, which serious girl dared to commit to him.

However, Shen An quickly thought that something was wrong, and he knocked on Zhao Hu's head and said, "How do you know that drinking is interesting?" Have you stolen it? ”

"I am...... Taste it......" Zhao Hu stuck out his tongue and said, "Aunt An agreed." ”

"Drinking and making mistakes, I really want to drink, let's talk about it when you're older."

"I know, I know" Zhao Hu pulled his two pigtails to cover his ears, and then changed the topic: "'Half of the city is prosperous'? Why Half City? ”

Because the Song family only has half of the city.

Shen An sneered, but he didn't intend to sue Zhao Hu directly.

"What do you think is the difference between this place and the Immortal Realm?" Shen An asked with a smile.

"What's the difference?" Zhao Hu blinked, looked around and said, "Every house is so tall and big. ”

"What else?"

"And? Everyone was dressed beautifully. ”

An Puyu suddenly interjected: "There is not a single beggar here. ”

This kid has a delicate mind, not at all like a six-year-old. Shen An was slightly surprised, and continued to explain: "That's right, there are no beggars here, and not even a person in disheveled clothes can't be found. Because of the poverty and hardship, they were driven to live in the lower city. ”

"How so!" Zhao Hu frowned and said, "Is it because of the Question Conference?" It's not incomprehensible, after all, it's a once-in-a-decade event, and you always have to show the best side. ”

No, Shen Anxin thought, it was because the Song family liked to be "clean".

-- There is nothing more "out of sight than out of sight" than throwing garbage out of sight.

"Brother An, I want to see the lower city." An Puyu said suddenly.

Shen An's eyelids lowered and he looked at the child in his arms, this child could always surprise him - he actually thought of going with him.

It's just that they might not want to see Downtown for a different reason.

In the previous life, after the outbreak of the "ghost plague" in the Ma family, it subsided for a period of time, and then the demon clan invaded, and even the ghost domain came to get a piece of the pie.

The ghost general didn't know where to get the method to spread the "ghost plague" and infect the mortals of Miyyo City. The Song family abandoned the car to protect the commander and abandoned the entire Xiacheng District, and the ghost general used the "ghost plague" to turn those homeless people into puppets and fight against the demon soldiers led by Shen An.

Shen An knew that the real purpose of the ghost general was to spread the "ghost plague" that only mortals could infect and destroy the entire mortal realm.

So Shen An did one thing-

- He used the fire of the red lotus to burn the entire Song family's Xiacheng District to the ground.

Do you regret it? Shen An didn't bother to think about it.

Because he knew very well that if he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice - if there was no "slut system" hanging over his head, of course.

Shen An knows one thing better than anyone - Ci is not in charge of the army.

However......

Shen An, who came back to his senses, gently scratched An Puyu's nose and smiled softly at the boy in his arms: "Then go and take a look." ”

When he arrived in Xiacheng District, Zhao Hu suddenly understood the meaning of "half of the city is prosperous and prosperous".

The person who made this poem clearly really mocked the Qin Immortal Song family, right?

Looking at the dilapidated and old tiled houses in the alleys on both sides, Zhao Hu didn't feel that the people here were much better than the small grass huts he lived in the watershed realm.

After getting used to the dazzling array of the upper city and the jade buildings of Qionglou, the crowded and dilapidated lower city became even more gloomy and gloomy. Even the people looked eerie and terrifying, and in the cracks of the alleys, the fierce men stared at Shen An and the others, and their cruel eyes seemed to be like vultures weighing their dying prey, whether they could become a delicious meal in their bellies.

"Follow me, it's fine." Sensing Zhao Hu's panic, Shen An hugged her close to his side.

The three of them walked forward, and suddenly there was a noise in front of them, and when they looked over, a man with a full face grabbed a little boy's hand and kept scolding. The little boy was ragged, swarthy and thin, but his expression was full of resentment.

"How the fuck do you dare to stare at me!" The cross-meat man slapped the kid twice and scolded angrily: "The little rabbit cub stole something and stole it on your Cai Ye's head!" Damn it! Lao Tzu cut off your fingers! Look how you steal your stuff again! ”

Although Zhao Hu knew that stealing was wrong, but seeing that the child who was not much younger than himself was treated like this, his blood surged, and he couldn't help but step forward to give the boy a head.

However, An Puyu stopped her: "Sister Fox, don't stop it. His expression was indifferent, as if he had seen something like this happen countless times before: "If you go over now, even if you keep him, when we leave, maybe that bad face will take revenge on him even more." ”

"What then? Just let them chop off people's fingers at will? She turned to Shen An and said anxiously: "Brother An, you have to think of a way." ”

Shen An stared thoughtfully at An Puyu, this kid ...... He didn't think like a six-year-old boy at all.

"Is there anything on my face?" Sensing Shen An's gaze, An Puyu met Shen An's eyes and looked at him innocently.

"No, nothing." Shen An chuckled, "I just think what you said makes a lot of sense." ”

Immediately, Shen An turned his head and laughed loudly at the meat man: "This Cai Ye, if you want me to say, you shouldn't abolish his fingers, you should cut off his entire hand." ”
