It has been 18 years since Li Yuan was called emperor in 618 AD, and Li Yuan was located in 626 years of the Tang Dynasty calendar, and changed his name to Zhenguan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the past six years, although the Tang Dynasty has Tubo in the west, Tubo in the north, Nanzhao in the south, and Dashi in the distance, Goguryeo and other enemy countries are eyeing each other, but under the leadership of Li Shimin, although the Tang Dynasty cannot win one by one, it has also maintained a delicate balance with Wulin and several countries, and is developing steadily. It is not for nothing that Datang can so intimidate forces from all sides. Now the Tang Dynasty has Wenyou, the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Du Ruhui, Qin Wenwen, Kong Yingda, etc., control the pattern of the Tang Dynasty, and fully assist Li Shimin in the development of people's livelihood and industry, so that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty can develop. The increase in population and the peace and contentment of civilians have made Datang's military spirit unprecedentedly cohesive, and its military strength is unprecedented. There are military gods Li Jing, the upright Wei Zheng, black-faced Wei Chi Gong, Yang Su, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji, Zi Shao and other military generals, sitting in all directions. Every military general has stepped on thousands of corpses and a sea of blood, and while letting the enemy peep at Datang, he also has to consider whether he can eat the fertile land of Datang and the bloody revenge from these first-class generals.

And among the major countries, there is another "world", and they call themselves martial arts. Martial arts do not participate in the struggle between countries, but the state does not restrict the freedom of martial arts people. However, can wars between countries really be without them?

To the north of the Tang Dynasty, there is a small village outside Yanmen Pass, called Niujiao Village. This quaint little village is home to hundreds of families and is backed by a forest of horns. There is a folk saying that relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and relies on the water to eat the water. As a result, the middle-aged men in Niujiao Village basically make a living by hunting, while the women cultivate fertile fields outside the village to grow some grain and vegetables. At the same time, because of the abundance of products in this horn forest, merchants often come here to buy all kinds of game and herbs and send them to various cities. In this era, game was a staple on the tables of nobles and wealthy merchants.

Niujiao Village has been like a day for ten years, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. But today, in addition to the passing merchants, the villagers who got up early would see a man in disheveled clothes, almost bald, with curiosity in his eyes walking through the entrance of the village. When he came in, he looked curiously left and right, and even the children playing on the street would make him stop and watch there for a long time, and always smile. However, seeing such a strange person did not make the villagers have any senses, and it was just one more thing to talk about on this day.

And this boy, that is, Lin Yi, who we have been walking for nearly 8 days, is almost about to give up in despair. When he saw this small village with smoke curling and laughter from time to time, Lin Yi's heart was filled with all kinds of curiosity and expectation. After walking into the village, looking at the scattered houses, the children playing on the roadside, the villagers who started their day's work, the vegetable farmers selling on the street, and the merchants who have begun to load materials, everything here is extremely fresh and rare for Lin Yi. In an isolated forest, facing the same person every day, except for the monk, the creatures that I see the most are those animals.

Now that he has returned to the human world, Lin Yi really has a feeling of being reincarnated as a human. Walking along the side of the street, looking at all kinds of people, Lin Yi had to sigh, "I have lived in vain for so many years before!" "If it were to be replaced by anyone and let them exchange eighteen years of isolation for a peerless martial arts, I think it would be except for Lin Yi who would refuse.

When Lin Yi walked to the end of the street, he suddenly smelled bursts of aroma and rushed to the tip of his nose. When he smelled this aroma, Lin Yi couldn't help but twitch his nose, and Lin Yi remembered that it seemed that he hadn't eaten meat for a while, "It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, what is this?!" Touching the belly that had begun to make a symphony, Lin Yi followed the fragrance and came to a three-story building like a "standing out from the crowd", looking at the signboard waving in the wind, "Tianfu Restaurant, this is the kind of place where you can eat and sleep as the monk said?" Ah, I'm going to eat, I'm going to sleep. ”

Seeing this legendary place where some eat and some sleep, Lin Yi has already turned on the foodie mode, and he has the momentum of not eating the whole world. Xiao Er saw Lin Yi from a distance, although Lin Yi's image at this time seemed to be a little down, Xiao Er was self-sustaining and counted countless people, Lin Yi's unique temperament, this is absolutely the young master of a certain big power family who returned from training on Niujiao Mountain! It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and every time I think of it, I have been favored by myself every time in the past, and I am optimistic about you by the boss. Xiao Er's heart was hot, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "Ouch Shaoxia, what about eating or sharpening?" ”

I haven't even said what the same kind is, but this guy who nods his head and smiles on his face already knows that I'm going to eat! But what is the purpose of pointing? But does it matter? Eat first, eat. "Haha, yes, I want to eat, if you have anything delicious, just bring it up to me!"

Seeing Lin Yi's arrogant appearance, Xiao Er's heart blossomed, this time he really made a lot of money, this girl is definitely a rich second generation! Thinking happily in his heart, he was not idle, "Okay, okay." "Lead Lin Yi to a better place to sit down, "Wait a minute, the small one will be made for you, come right away!" After speaking, Xiao Er ran briskly to the back kitchen. Xiao Er could already predict that the shopkeeper would be happy to reward himself with a few small dollars.

When Lin Yi approached the restaurant, there were already three tables of guests seated here. One table was obviously a rich family, two men and one woman. A middle-aged man, slightly chubby but with bright eyes, is dressed in clothes made of fine silk, which shows the nobility of the man. There is a young girl sitting next to the man, with a blue satin dress and delicate facial features, this is a girl who makes any man can't help but be tempted when he sees it. Of course, except for Lin Yi, who just looked at it with curiosity, people who didn't understand anything were not counted. The last old man who looked like a butler, although he was not wearing silk satin, was also a simple gown made of medium fabric.

In the other two tables, there is only one man dressed as a knight in the rivers and lakes, wearing a hat and carrying a long sword, and his face cannot be seen clearly. Since Lin Yi glanced at it when he entered the door, he didn't pay attention, and drank a glass of wine intently.

The table next to the door was dressed up as a Jianghu person, with a big knife across the table, full of meat, drinking a lot, occasionally picking up the barbecue at hand and taking a bite, seeing Lin Yi enter the door, he couldn't help laughing, "Little brother, are you being scratched by a blind bear or by which mother-in-law, hahaha!" Hearing the big man's teasing, Lin Yi didn't bother with it, and smiled, "It's good this way, it's cool!" After hearing this, Dahan smiled heartily, "Interesting, interesting!" After speaking, he didn't pay attention to Lin Yi, picked up a wine jar from the table, didn't pour the bowl, and drank directly at the wine jar.

However, there was only a middle-aged man at the table, and the man who looked like a rich businessman glanced at Lin Yi's entry with great meaning, and he had already finished eating and was about to leave, but he ordered a few side dishes and sat down again. As a housekeeper, Jia Gui naturally would not ask about his master's decision. And Jia Gui also understood that his master was doing this, and had a deep meaning, with the eyes of the head of the house, he rushed to the shopkeeper at the counter and said, "Shopkeeper, two more dishes and two taels of wine." The young girl on the side didn't know that so many thoughts had happened here, but she was curious, "Daddy, aren't you in a hurry?" Why are you still eating, can you still eat it? I can't eat it! Jia Xiong touched the girl's head dotingly, and said with a smile, "You're full, but Daddy isn't full." Eat again and go, go! ”

Just when Jia Xiong asked for another table, Lin Yi's front was already filled with all kinds of game delicacies, and his saliva never stopped from the beginning. It's also barbecue, and what I used to grill was really not ordinary! Lin Yi at this moment is definitely the happiest moment in the past eighteen years. Eat so freely, let alone hide from the monk to eat secretly, and when I was halfway through eating, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's so delicious!" "Cut, dirt buns." For Lin Yi, who was feasting, the girl Jia Wenwen said reflexively. As soon as Jia Wenwen finished speaking, Jia Xiong next to her opened his mouth to stop him, "Wenwen, how did Daddy teach you?" You can't treat others with yourself, as a girl, how can you insult them. Apologize to this young man! "Jia Wenwen actually knew that she was wrong when she said it." Okay, okay, I was wrong. People don't seem to care about my apologies at all! Looking at Lin Yi, who was concentrating on destroying the food in front of him, the little episode that had just happened here didn't seem to attract the boy's attention at all.

Lin Yi was able to eat this time, and after eating for nearly half an hour, he saw that he really couldn't eat. I had to put down the barbecue in my hand, looking at the half of the chicken left on the plate that had not been eaten, and looked sorry. But it's a happy feeling! Leaning back in his chair, his eyes narrowed, and he burped comfortably. At this time, Xiao Er ran over enthusiastically, "Shaoxia, the dishes are still in line with the taste!" Lin Yi didn't even bother to open his eyes, just moved his body and lay down and leaned still, "Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied." I can't eat it today, so I'll continue tomorrow! ”

"It's good to be satisfied, Shaoxia, you see, this time you spent a total of 21 taels and 6 yuan, our shopkeeper said, give Shaoxia a discount, remove the change, as long as 20 taels of silver. Do you think you've settled the bill now? ”

"Checkout? What's that? What is silver? Hearing Xiao Er's words coldly, Lin Yi didn't react yet. However, at this time, Lin Yi finally remembered that the monk seemed to have said that it seemed that money such as silver was used for consumption among the people. However, for the lonely self, except that the wooden stick in his hand may be worth a little money, how can there be any silver to settle the bill! Thinking that he might be the legendary person who ate the overlord's meal, Lin Yi had to look at Xiao Er in embarrassment, "This, eh, that. Silver, right, haha......" Just when Lin Yi was still racking his brains and thinking about what method to use to solve it, suddenly a man's voice came, "I'll settle that young man's account!" Lin Yi looked for prestige, only to see Jia Gui take out a golden ingot from his arms and put it on the table, "This ingot of gold counts our consumption in the past few days and the table of Shaoxia, is it enough?" However, Xiao Er's eyes never left when Jia Gui took out the ingot of gold, and when he heard Jia Gui's words, Xiao Er hurriedly responded, "Enough, enough!" As he spoke, he used his hands and feet together, picked up the gold and put it in his mouth and bit it, "Ouch," "Hehe, a few guest officers use it slowly, if you need it, just command!" ”

Seeing Xiao Er nodding and bowing down, Lin Yi also knew that he owed a favor in vain. Although in terms of Lin Yi's ability, if he wants to run, he is really confident that not many people can catch up with him. But the monk's words are still in the ear, if you enter the rivers and lakes can speak with your skills, but when you enter the people, you must follow the rules of the court and the people, and you must not bully the weak, you must not do evil, and you must not kill innocents indiscriminately.

Although I don't know if these twenty taels are more or less, Lin Yi can still tell the difference between good and bad. arched his hand in the direction of the middle-aged man, "Thank you brother Tai for your help, I will definitely repay you if you have the opportunity in the future." ”

"Daddy~~" Jia Xiong waved his hand to stop what Jia Wenwen was about to say, stood up and saluted Lin Yi back, "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about." "I see that the little brother rarely seems to go out, I don't know why he is dressed in this dress? Of course, if it is inconvenient for Shaoxia to mention it, forgive Jia for being abrupt! Lin Yi smiled and said: "What's so convenient or inconvenient, I was just released by the master and wandered around the forest for a few days, so it's like this." ”

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the corners of Jia Xiong's eyes flashed, "Then I don't know if the young man has a place to go?" If not, Jia might still be able to help! For Jia Xiong's enthusiasm, although Lin Yi didn't know what the reason was, Lin Yi could feel that Jia Xiong was not harmless, and he didn't look like a big traitor. Lin Yi is still quite confident in his feelings. Thinking about it, I had to find someone to ask how to get to Chang'an anyway, so I said: "I'm going to go to Chang'an, I don't know how to go?" ”

"Hahaha~" After hearing that Lin Yi was going to Chang'an, Jia Xiong was even more happy, and walked towards Lin Yi with a hearty laugh, "It's a coincidence!" Jia Mou came to Niujiao Village this time to buy a batch of goods, which was also sent to Chang'an, so it is better for Shaoxia to go with me on the same road, what do you think? ”

Lin Yi thought about it, and then nodded and agreed, "Okay, then it's troublesome brother!" ”

"Okay, okay, just rush to you, brother, at the end of the world, brother will also send it to you!" Hearing that Lin Yi was willing to go along, Jia Xiong seemed to be even happier, and from the beginning, the laughter never stopped.

At this moment, the big man with a meaty face seemed to have finished eating, threw a few taels of silver on the table, turned around and walked towards the door, "Interesting, so young has such a deep internal force, even I can't see the depth." I don't know which old ghost's disciple it is! Chang'an, I haven't been there for a long time, and it's time to go around. ”

The evaluation of masters in the rivers and lakes from low to high are: non-mainstream martial artists, third-rate martial artists, second-rate masters (martial kings), first-class masters (martial saints) and supreme grandmasters (martial gods). During the Sui and Tang dynasties, martial arts prevailed, and there are known top masters in the rivers and lakes, except for Dugu a hundred years ago and Fadu Zen Master a few decades ago, no one can win the grandmaster seat. And there are more than a dozen first-class masters, most of whom serve in important positions in various countries, just like Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, who is in charge of the millions of male soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, invincible, and can always make the enemy tremble wherever he goes. The Turkic Ashina Sheer, the generalissimo of the whole country, under one man and above ten thousand, was fierce and treacherous, and was one of the generals with whom all countries were most reluctant to fight. There are also Wei Gao, the prime minister of Tibet, and the mad monk Fu Nantuo of Tianzhu.

There are also a small number of sects on the rivers and lakes to open sects and set up their own portals, such as the Shaolin Temple's empty Zen master, the head of the Huajian faction Shi Zhixuan, the head of the Emei faction Situ Xuankong, and the owner of the Yuxuan Pavilion Zhuge ruthlessly. Under the first-class masters, second-rate masters, and third-rate martial artists are the main forces for various countries and forces to compete for.

This is an era of the rise of many heroes, wars between countries, grievances between rivers and lakes, who is the master of ups and downs? !
