Chapter 24: Serendipity
Near the outermost hill of Xuanwu Town, there is a remote cliff, covering an area of more than ten zhang, and the white mist on three sides, with the help of the wind, is changeable. On the edge of a cliff, on a rock, the boy stood in the wind.
The young man here is the emperor Qiyao, out of the emperor's welcome hall, he unconsciously came to the 'terminal' of this previous life! This stop is from early morning to dusk, but the young man did nothing, just quietly looked at the vast sea of clouds.
"I said, little baby, you've been standing here for a day, don't you want to follow the example of the ancient Yellow Emperor, wait for the dragon to appear and carry you to heaven?"
An old voice suddenly sounded in the young man's heart.
"Hey, hey, I'll go!"
The stunned young man was startled by this sudden sound, and took a few steps back, and a few stones rolled off the cliff where he was standing, and the young man wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and still had some palpitations and said:
"I said master, this person is scary, scared to death, I don't know if there is a divine dragon to carry me to heaven, I only know that I was almost scared by you and fell off the cliff and went to hell. β
"Haha, cowardly!" the old man laughed as well.
"Alas, it turns out that the master can communicate with me outside the green copper space?"
"Naturally, I can, but now I don't have much soul power left, so I guess I can talk to you for half an hour, and I can ascend to heaven by dragon before you. β
The old man's voice was a little weaker, but he still didn't forget to tease.
"Thatβ" The boy was in a hurry.
"If it weren't for your stinky boy who had been pestle on the edge of that cliff, and the old man was frightened, would I have been able to fight for soul loss and transmit sound to you?"
Speaking of the reason for appearing, the emperor was obviously a little depressed.
"Master, rest assured, the apprentice is not so fragile and will not do stupid things. The young man's heart was moved.
"You won't do stupid things? Do you know what the elders of the Taishang Elders do? The three-year covenant is very domineering!"
The emperor said with a slight teasing.
"Thatβ" The young man tried to explain something, but was interrupted again by the old man.
"What is that, what is that, you are going to be that and that, the old man is really going to be gone."
"Alas, although that little girl is a little arrogant, but some of the words are true, martial arts, talent is not the only way, if you stay in the emperor's family, let alone three years, you will not be beaten for ten years. β
"That'sβ" The young man spoke again, only to be greeted by the old man's roar.
"You rabbit cub, you deliberately want to drag the old man to death, don't you want that, don't you let the old man finish talking in one breath? Hmph, prepare a batch of herbs tomorrow: dragon tooth grass, Huoluo fruit, Lingxiao flower!"
"What's the use?" the boy asked aloud.
"Heat the oil!"
"What?"
"Phew... The mouth is scooping, it's an open furnace for alchemy!"
When the words fell, the emperor stopped talking.
"Alchemy...."
The gloom in the young man's heart suddenly dissipated, and he hummed a little song and walked down the mountain.
.......
In the early morning, the first rays of winter sunlight bloomed, and the whole room lit up from the lattice window in the corner of the room, and the rough wooden table by the window, the rattan basket, the floor, and finally shone on the young man who was practicing cross-legged on the bed.
"Whew"
After meditating for a long time, Emperor Qiyao took a long breath, and a hazy glow visible to the naked eye flowed down his mouth and nose into his body, warming his bones.
His eyes suddenly opened, a wisp of gold swept by, Emperor Qiyao slowly stretched his waist, smiled faintly, and said to himself:
"It's time to go shopping. β
got out of bed neatly, moved his muscles and bones, and then changed into clean clothes, Di Qiyao turned around and groped at the head of the bed for a while, only to see a dark grid appear, Di Qiyao took out a simple sandalwood box from it, and took out a small and exquisite key from his waist, and opened the brass lock.
Suddenly, a golden light shot out, making Emperor Qiyao's eyes narrow slightly.
"Fortunately, I have some savings over the years. β
Emperor Qiyao looked at the gold coins he had accumulated little by little since he was a child, and a little memory came to his heart.
He took out a hundred gold coins from the box, put it in a penny bag, put it in his chest, and put the sandalwood box back in the dark compartment, and waited for the folds at the head of the bed to be smoothed out, and then pushed the door and walked out.
Emperor Qiyao, who was in a good mood, slowly walked towards the outside of the clan gate.
Xuanwu Town is just an inconspicuous corner of the empire, but on this Star Dou Continent, there are many inconspicuous towns, but behind them are often the rise of a dynasty or a famous person, and even retain some mysterious and quaint ancient ruins!
And this Xuanwu town is named because it is backed by Jing Mountain, not to mention the legend that the ancient Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven by dragon here, attracting countless adventurers to hunt for treasures. With the vast mountains and forests of this Jingshan branch, it also attracted mercenaries from all over the world and warriors who hunted demon beasts to settle down and rest in the town.
The popularity is also extremely strong, although it is a cold and windy winter day, but on the street, the flow of people is still turbulent.
In fact, the emperor's family was also engaged in the medicinal herb business in the town, but in order to avoid unnecessary explanations, Emperor Qiyao decided to go to the town's trading fair.
The trading fair, located in Xuanwu Town, near the town gate, is also for the convenience of forest trialists, replenishing resources, replacing equipment, and buying and selling.
...
When Emperor Qiyao walked into the trading fair, looking at the black crowd inside and the boiling sound rising to the sky, he couldn't help but smack his mouth, this trading fair is indeed the largest trading place within a hundred miles near Xuanwu Town, this popularity is simply terrifying.
In the fair, the dazzling array of shops is dazzling, although the streets of the fair are quite spacious, but under the overwhelming flow of people, it still seems a little crowded.
The trading shop will be divided into several areas, including an area for selling weapons, an area for selling martial arts, and some areas for daily necessities, such as jewelry and clothes!
Emperor Qiyao went straight to the medicinal herb area and walked into a medicinal herb shop called "Wancao Pavilion". spent nearly 100 gold coins to buy a batch of medicinal herbs: dragon tooth grass, Huoluo fruit, and Lingxiao flower. These were low-grade materials, and they could be purchased in the herb store for a little money, so they didn't take long to get involved.
Putting the package on his shoulder, looking at the hour was still early, he was not in a hurry to stroll through the streets, listening to the shouts on both sides, Emperor Qiyao checked the money bag with only two gold coins left, and he also seemed to be lacking in interest.
When he was about to walk out of the medicinal herb area, there was a faint commotion at the fork in front of him, and when he looked forward, he saw that the crowd in front of him seemed to be surrounding, and vaguely, there was a young man's angry roar.
Hearing this voice, Emperor Qiyao was stunned for a moment, immediately frowned slightly, quickened his pace, and walked towards the surrounding crowd.
And when Di Qiyao walked into the crowd, he happened to see the middle of the crowd, Di Ge, Di Lin and several men with raw faces confronting each other, Di Ge frowned, and Di Lin was full of grief and indignation.
On the opposite side, there is a young man with a joking face, aged about twenty, and his appearance is still good, but he is a fat man, not really fat, but for people who practice martial arts, this figure is really a little flattering, and in his hand, a piece of jade is being thrown.
Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Emperor Qiyao also understood the matter, Di Lin, this kid was lucky, he only used a hundred gold coins to buy a piece of inheritance jade in the martial arts area, which recorded a yellow-level high-level martial art, you must know that a yellow-level high-level martial art is not something that can be bought with gold coins, even if it is the Emperor's Library, it is only three yellow-level high-level martial arts!
Seeing this, the vendor owner could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, secretly scolding himself for not knowing the goods, the emperor's family is not something that a vendor with no background like him can afford to provoke.
Di Lin was overjoyed, and when he tasted the sweetness, he was reluctant to leave, and continued to search for the stall, but he didn't want to be known by the children of the Mu family who were passing by, so he not only snatched the martial arts, but also beat Di Lin.
Di Ge, who came to the trade fair with Di Lin, was shopping in other areas, and Wen Xin also rushed over, and the two sides confronted each other.
"Yo! Isn't this the genius of the emperor's family? Hehe, I thought it was amazing, how did I lose to a waste boy?"
The young man said in a strange manner, this person is Mu Feng, the second son of the Mu family.
Di Ge's face suddenly sank, "Mu Feng, you don't need to worry about my affairs, you snatched my little brother's martial arts, and beat him again, how can this account be calculated!"
"How? Naturally, it's the fist who says it. β
Mu Feng said disdainfully, with a hint of a playful smile on his face.
Emperor Ge's voice froze, and his fists clenched suddenly, that Mu Feng seemed to be a second ancestor, but it was also a real Tianshu Fan Star Eight Realm, really compared to it, he was not sure.
However, Rao is like this, and Emperor Ge doesn't want to retreat, just after losing to Emperor Qiyao, and then losing to this Mu Feng, his martial arts heart may be broken, and he said with a gloomy face:
"Mu Feng, you really don't know what your face is, your talent is not as good as mine, and you are using age to pressure me? Twenty years old is good to me at eighteen years old!"
"Joke! You were killed on the battlefield, do you have to find out whose age is older? Don't talk nonsense, do you dare to compare?"
"Why don't you dare!"
Di Feng snorted coldly, although he knew that the other party was provoking him, he still chose to fight, he couldn't frustrate his sharpness and break his martial heart.
"Okay, since you want to compare, naturally you have to make a little bet, so you will bet on this piece of jade. β
Wager?
Di Ge gritted his teeth, he was not stupid, he immediately understood, this Mu Feng also knew that snatching the emperor's yellow rank high-level martial arts, the emperor family would not give up easily, although the Mu family was not afraid of the emperor's family, but the power of the emperor's battle sky was also famous in this Xuanwu Town, and it would not be good to be afraid of it if there was no reason to make a move, so he deliberately provoked, just for this piece of jade!
It's premeditated!
However, even if he understood this, Di Ge would not back down!
"Bet on it!"
Emperor Qiyao watched the scene from afar, shook his head slightly, the other party obviously calculated Di Ge's character, but then again, the other party was provoked to the doorstep, if Di Ge was really cowardly in this situation, then his loss would probably be greater, avoid fighting, swallow his anger, this is a taboo in martial arts.
Cultivating martial arts is not only to practice the body, but also to cultivate the mind, and the cultivation of the mind is to do it casually, and to live happily, if you forbear everywhere, your cultivation will be hindered.
"Although this Mu Feng is arrogant, he does have some skills. Emperor Qiyao glanced at Mu Feng and muttered to himself in his heart.
