Chapter Twenty-Three: The Years

The seasons alternate, the sun rises and the moon sets.

Twenty years is just a snap of a finger for Zhuo Ao, but for others, twenty years is a long period of life, long enough to make a young girl grow into a middle-aged woman, and let a charming lady turn into a gray-haired old lady.

The first village in the world.

This giant mountain villa that seems to appear out of thin air is no stranger to people in the martial arts, who is the owner of this mountain villa, except for a very few people who know, for the vast majority of people, its owner is a mystery.

Since ancient times, there is no first in the text, there is no second in the martial arts, so arrogantly taking such a name for his villa, if in the past, I am afraid that it will not be long before the challenger who heard the wind will break the threshold.

However, the villa has been standing here for 20 years, not only has it not declined, but the name of the number one in the world has gradually been recognized by the world, including the people on the Mongolian side, who have also acquiesced to this fact.

Because in the past 20 years, almost every year in the world's first village, there will be a few earth-shattering figures, 20 years, some people have calculated, there have been hundreds of masters comparable to the past five masters out of the villa, but also the world's first village, has become a martial arts holy land, become a place that everyone yearns for in the martial arts.

In the past, if the martial arts were still at the level of the year, now on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it can only be regarded as first-class, once there is more of anything, it will become worthless, and the same is true for the masters, and now on the rivers and lakes, there are hundreds or even more masters of this level, so that the Condor Hero, who should have been born out of nowhere, has now become less dazzling, after all, there are too many people at this level, and they can't show their strength.

It's a pity that the world's first village since its completion, has never recruited people, the masters in the villa, some of them are the top masters who have been famous for a long time in the past, such as Guo Jing and Huang Rong couple, although the two are in Xiangyang most of the time, but they are also frequent visitors to the world's first village.

In addition, the former Northern Beggars Hong Qigong, the Eastern Evil Yellow Pharmacist, the Southern Emperor Yideng and the old urchin Zhou Botong, the top masters of the older generation, almost settled in the first village in the world, these people are the real peak masters today, but they have not appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and only their legends are left on the rivers and lakes.

However, there are many outstanding disciples in the Beggar Gang and the Quanzhen Sect because of their meritorious service in resisting Mongolia, they were allowed to enter the first village in the world, and accepted the guidance of a group of martial arts seniors.

After so many years, there are also a few Jianghu talents who have been allowed to enter it, after coming out, all of them are martial arts, but these people, on the things in the villa, are silent, no matter how a group of former relatives and friends ask, they can't ask why, but more of the anti-Mongolian heart in the rivers and lakes, in the end, Xiangyang City will screen the performance of the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the past year every year, and the one with the most meritorious service can be allowed to enter the first village in the world in January, However, each person can only enter the first village in the world once in his life.

Under this atmosphere that is gradually set off by the world's first village, the northern land that Mongolia is now occupying can be said to be full of wolf smoke, and a large number of middle and low-level generals are taken away from Xiang Shang's head every year.

made the morale of Mongolia sluggish, no one knew from which gala those elusive Central Plains martial arts people would run out to give you a knife, and even some generals would go to the toilet and would take a large team of soldiers and horses to dispatch.

However, these Mongolian generals are not easy to handle, these martial arts people gradually set their eyes on ordinary Mongolians, as long as they encounter Mongolians oppressing the Han Chinese, ensure that night, this person's head will disappear.

The Han people belong to the fourth class of people under the rule of Mongolia, like cattle and sheep, and even inferior to a horse, therefore, driven by these martial arts people, the Han people under the rule of Mongolia have gradually been activated in the blood, even if the new Great Khan Kublai Khan launched a massacre of the city several times, it is also a more crazy revenge.

In this regard, Kublai Khan was helpless, under the advice of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, he wantonly looked for masters, and even did not hesitate to come forward in person, knowing clearly the living Buddha of the Potala Palace and a group of masters of the Tibetan sect, Mongolia also continued to cultivate masters to resist the indiscriminate invasion of the Central Plains martial arts, and gradually suppressed this momentum, but now the Mongols are much more honest on the territory of the Han people, at least the oppression of the people has been reduced much compared to 20 years ago, because once bullied, it is not necessarily the Central Plains martial arts people who greet you, but the whole city was full of people.

Once the bloody nature that has been suppressed for decades is detonated, that feeling is by no means something that the Mongols, whose number is less than one-tenth of the Han Chinese, can suppress.

In order to improve the environment under his rule, after Kublai Khan unified the internal rights of Mongolia, he began to vigorously use Han officials, and at the same time improved the status of the Han people, so that the rule gradually returned to peace, but even so, the conflict between Mongolia and Han is still very acute, especially after the Han people's waist gradually hardened, many Mongolian nobles could not accept this contrast, and began to put pressure on Kublai Khan, so that a group of Han people made a group of Han people tremble, and the Mongolian people who have been accustomed to standing at the top are resentful and unbearable.

How Kublai Khan was anxious in Mongolia, Zhuo Ao, who was thousands of miles away, ignored it, and now the situation has gradually stabilized, and the Xiangyang area is a song and dance.

"Uncle Xiao, why haven't you grown taller after so many years?" In the first village in the world, a young girl touched Xiaolong's head and said with a smile.

"Nonsense, of course I have grown taller!" Xiaolong snorted angrily and opened Guo Xiang's sinful palm, and straightened his waist angrily, he is not not long, but his body is mortal, and his growth is much slower than that of normal people, twenty years have passed, and he has only grown less than a centimeter, this kind of turtle growth makes Xiaolong very distressed, seeing that he looked at Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu, who were born back then, and surpassed himself in size little by little, that depressed mood is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

"Is there one? How do I feel like you're getting shorter? Guo Xiang smiled and knocked on his little bald head.

"I warn you, don't touch my head!" Xiaolong said angrily.

"What else would you do?" Guo Xiang smiled and continued to touch the little bald head, not caring about the other party's threat at all.

"I ......" Xiaolong is angry, but he can't beat it, although Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu didn't take the Avatar Pill, but they almost grew up by Zhuo Ao's side since they were children, and they were almost taught by Zhuo Ao, not only the character is eccentric under Zhuo Ao's connivance, but martial arts are now looking at the world, I'm afraid there are few people who are her opponents, sometimes Xiaolong often thinks resentfully, obviously he is a relative, how can he be better to outsiders than himself.

"Sister, are you bullying Uncle Xiao again?" A tiger-headed teenager walked out of the yard, looked at the little dragon whose little face was about to crumple, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Breaker, come here." Xiaolong seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly beckoned to Guo Poyu.

Guo Poyu said in the past, unlike Guo Xiang, Guo Poyu received another way of education, behaved in a decent manner, had a calm bearing, and had a bit of a general's style, and under the teaching of Zhuo Ao since he was a child, he was no worse than Guo Xiang.

"From now on, I appoint you as my personal bodyguard to keep me safe." Looking at Guo Poyu with a respectful face, Xiaolong finally regained that little bit of dignity, and patted Guo Poyu's shoulder very seriously, looking like a little adult.

"No." Guo Poyu shook his head and said: "The teacher said that the Mongolian army will go south soon, and this time I will go to Xiangyang to help my father break the enemy, not only me, but Zang Hong and they will also go with me." ”

Although Zhuo Ao has cultivated them since childhood, he has always refused to accept apprentices, so whether Guo Xiang or Guo Poyu, they are all commensurate with Zhuo Ao as teachers.

"Oh?" Xiaolong frowned and said, "These Mongolian Tatars still dare to come?" ”

"What's not to dare?" Guo Xiang frowned and sneered: "Although it has been disturbed by the people in the martial arts over the years, but because of this, many hidden dangers have been eliminated, Kublai Khan has used many Han officials in recent years, and the place has become more and more stable, and there must be people in Mongolia who are dissatisfied with this status quo and put pressure on Kublai Khan, the contradictions between Mongolia and Han and these contradictions within Mongolia itself, Kublai Khan must have a big victory to stabilize his prestige." ”

"Huh?" Guo Poyu sighed lightly and looked at Guo Xiang in surprise: "Sister, you still have this kind of ability, your calculation is almost exactly the same as the result calculated by our Tianji Pavilion for three days and three nights." ”

"Is it hard?" Guo Xiang smiled proudly: "This bit of common sense, and only you stupid people, will think about three days and three nights, these things, as early as five years ago, there have been spearheads, but the situation was too chaotic at that time, and the rebels were everywhere, Kublai Khan did not dare to go south, but chose to stabilize the internal first, five years is enough for him to eliminate the internal troubles, but unfortunately the faint monarch and traitorous ministers in the court, one by one, do not know why, and secretly peace, in vain gave up this great opportunity to regain lost territory." ”

"These things can't be eavesdropped on from my brother-in-law, right?" Xiaolong looked at Guo Xiang with extreme suspicion, how could a little girl who was only twenty years old know so many things?

"Nonsense." Guo Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "I haven't seen a teacher for almost six years, you have the ability to find out the teacher for me." ”

"Po Yu, you just said that my brother-in-law asked you to go to Xiangyang? Did you see him? Xiaolong also reacted at this time, and looked at Xiaolongdao.

"No, it was the teacher who sent me a voice." Guo Poyu hurriedly shook his head, saying that it had nothing to do with him.

"Let's go, I'll go back to Xiangyang with you, and I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time." Guo Xiang patted Guo Poyu's shoulder with a big grin, and then looked at Xiaolong and said, "Little uncle, do you want to go with us?" ”

"No, I'd better go find the master first." Xiaolong hurriedly shook his head, since the big war is about to start, he naturally wants to go to Xiangyang, but he must not be with this female devil, this is the principle of Xiaolong's life. (To be continued.) )
