Chapter 4: Divine Stones, Mortals, and Emperors
The July sun seems to be never tireless, Ye Lei touched his forehead with one hand, only to exchange it for a slippery sweat.
Since learning that once he joined Mochizuki Academy, Ye Lei happily accepted the invitation.
Along the way, the three young people talked very happily, Shen Hao, who was calm and elegant, was very well-informed, and constantly introduced Ye Lei to some interesting things on the mainland.
Under the sun, Xiaoxue after walking out of the mountains and forests, he looked very excited, while constantly gossiping and joking with Ye Lei, his eyes were greedily skimming over the farmland and villages outside the window, and when he saw the farmers farming in the distance, he waved his hand vigorously to greet people, and when he saw the butterflies flying next to the car, he rushed off the carriage to pounce.
Along the way, Ye Lei and Shen Xue were unexpectedly in the same mood, whether it was the interest in playing, or the joy of food, or maybe the amount of "good" food, the two had a tendency to hate each other......
Looking all the way forward, about two or three hours later, the shadow suddenly spread from the stream in front of him to the entire carriage, Ye Lei thought to himself that it was not yet night, and there was no sign of rain just now......
He raised his head suspiciously, only to see a huge city wall, suddenly appeared in front of him, looking left and right until he couldn't see the end of the stone wall, and the majesty was difficult to describe.
Since ancient times, Xingmeng City has been the first male city in the east of the Yuanling Continent, in ancient times, there were thousands of divine stones from outside the sky, cutting through the sky and standing between heaven and earth, there are spirits in the stones, and the people who see them are all enlightened, and the talented people in the human race even comprehend the avenue from it, and since then human beings have embarked on an endless journey of seeking the way.
The stars entered the world, and the dream fell into the red dust, and since then there has been a star dream.
And the legendary Outer Heaven Divine Stone stands in the midst of an evergreen mountain peak in Star Dream City.
The Yuanling Continent has produced many strong people and saints throughout the ages.
But there is only one person, in this starry world called time, who splendidly the entire starry sky.
The man had a humble name, Mortal.
A person with an incomparably humble name has an incomparably arrogant life.
Valkyrie!!!! mortals.
When he was young, he entered the Immortal Peak to observe the Divine Stone, and the Taoist Sect at that time asked him what he saw, and the ordinary man when he was young said a very intriguing sentence, but the Taoist Sect, who was already transcendent and holy at that time, was amazed.
Mortal said, I saw a way......
And every three years, Dream City will hold a trial Dao conference, facing the entire continent, all young people under the age of thirty and talented can participate, and if they enter the top thirty-two, they can enter the Immortal Peak to consult the Divine Stone.
Since ancient times, there have been countless definitions of young people, or strong-blooded, or quiet and deep, or reckless, or self-esteem, but no matter what kind of teenager you are, in the face of a powerful and mysterious existence, you will have infinite yearning.
And the Shenshi and the ordinary man, the perfect fit, the young people's hearts of the yearning, the understanding of the Divine Stone, seeing the road in the mouth of the mortal, naturally became the young man, the infinite longing in the journey of cultivation.
Ye Lei was also deeply obsessed with the legend of the Great Martial God and the Outer Heaven Divine Stone, at least until the plate of king crab in front of him was served......
August crab, top cover fat, when the waiter will be a plate of fat king crab, put on the black core jujube wood table, real silver crab eating tools, crab eight exquisite placed on the jade holder,
The golden-brown sauce is slowly poured over the crab body, and when the sauce comes into contact with the crab roe, it continues to bring out the tender and attractive aroma of the crab meat.
Ye Lei on the side couldn't resist the pungent aroma for a long time, and kept swallowing saliva.
Pulling his eyes out of the king crab with difficulty, Ye Lei looked up at the seemingly elegant surroundings of the restaurant, but in fact it concealed the luxurious decoration, the gorgeous crystal chandelier on the ceiling, refracted from every angle, like a dreamlike colored light, and the waiters who kept shuttling in the meantime, and had a good face and kept smiling all the time, as well as the diners around who were very well-dressed, and there were some people who were extravagant and exposed.
Ye Lei asked cautiously: "Brother Shen, it's very expensive to eat here, right?"
"It's okay, Drinking Dream House is one of the top three restaurants in Dream City, but if you want to talk about luxury, you have to count Jeollaju in the South China Sea, after all, it is the industry of the Xiao family in the South China Sea, as long as the name of the Xiao family is stuck in this world, it seems to be connected with the word expensive, but when it comes to eating crabs, Drinking Dream Building is definitely a must-have in the world. Shen Hao said casually while gently tapping the crab shell with a silver hammer.
Shen Xue, who was holding crab legs on the side, looked at Ye Lei, who suddenly became petty, and sneered: "Xiao Yezi, you can eat with peace of mind, my brother has money." ”
Ye Lei scratched his head and smiled at Xiaoxue.
Ye Lei, who has been practicing with his master in the mountains since he was a child, has three meals a day, basically either an unlucky fish in the stream, a lazy rabbit napping in the grass, or a wild goose with bad luck.
For a while, in this noisy luxury restaurant, sitting next to each other, I was a little distracted.
It's like a different world, but it's also in a different world.
As soon as Ye Lei thought of this, he suddenly felt that when did he start to have such sour thoughts?
Sniffing the aroma of the food in front of him, he immediately moved his index finger and opened a golden king crab, yellow, yellow, red and red, which was very good-looking.
Take a bite, red on the outside and white on the inside, fragrant and moist in the mouth, at the moment I am no longer eating, but swallowing down with my tongue.
......
If you want to say that Dream City is the most, the lively place is naturally Xuanhua Street, since the establishment of the city, it has been the palace to announce the king's order, the Taoist sect to educate the people, so the name Xuanhua.
After nightfall, Xuanhua Street has become a gathering place for vendors, which can be described as a crowded city.
Full of wine and food, the group stepped on the bluestone illuminated by the street lights, crossed the streets all the way, walked about two teas, and finally saw the Gaoting Mansion between the two big locust trees.
Next to the two big locust trees, I saw a woman in a white dress, followed by two girls.
The woman is about to spend her years of flowers, her hands are like soft wattles, she is full of grace, and she is a real beauty.
"Auntie, aunt" Shen Xue just saw the woman in the white dress, so she reflexively rushed over, and suddenly bumped into the woman in the white dress, her cute little face was deeply trapped between the two plumps, and the scenery between the fields was really beautiful.
Shen Lianxin doted on Shen Xue's little head and said with a smile: "Our Xiaoxue has grown into such a smart girl." ”
On the side, Shen Hao stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "I've seen my sister-in-law." ”
I saw Shen Lianxin stretch out her hand and rub Shen Hao's face fiercely: "You little guy, when you were a child, you surrounded me every day to hug my sister-in-law, but now you are learning more and more like that rigid big brother." ”
When Shen Hao heard this, he didn't make a sound, like the diary we wrote when we were children, and one day we were brought by our family members and read aloud.
Shen Hao, who has always been elegant and humble, had no choice but to let it be kneaded, his face was slightly red and he smiled embarrassedly.
After interacting with the siblings who were intimate or intimate, or due to the increase in gender and age, the adolescent boys and boys were slightly awkward.
Shen Lianxin hurriedly bowed to the old man surnamed Hu: "I didn't expect the eldest brother to be so cautious, and he actually sent Uncle Hu to escort you in person, and it was hard work all the way." ”
The old man surnamed Hu said with a smile: "The eldest lady is very polite, the young master and Miss apply for the Mochizuki Academy this time, which is naturally the top priority, and there is no room for a little difference." ”
Shen Lianxin hummed softly and smiled sweetly, expressing her agreement.
"Who is this little brother?" Shen Lianxin's gaze fell on Ye Lei behind several people, only to see a calm and delicate face, and a short hair that could not be crossed by eyes.
"Sister-in-law, Brother Ye Lei is a friend we met on the road, and we have had a good relationship all the way, and I was invited to stay at home for two days, and this time I am going to take the Moon Academy with us. ”
After two days of understanding, Ye Lei has no property, and there is nothing on his body that can be handled, Shen Hao roughly sketched in his heart, a poor old casual cultivator with gray hair and only knowing how to cultivate, with a short-haired teenager, the miserable situation of catching fish and rabbits in the mountains, Shen Hao, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, inevitably felt a sense of sympathy in his heart, for fear of hurting Dao Ye Lei's self-esteem, and read the word invitation more seriously.
In fact, this is Shen Hao's worry, but the miserable boy who catches fish and touches rabbits is good.
This is also the deliberate action of Ye Lei's unscrupulous master, in the name of it, cultivators should not develop squeamishness too early, but should sharpen more.
As everyone knows, every time the master sits on the bamboo chair and watches Ye Lei gather his energy to cultivate, the special osmanthus cakes, lotus cakes, and many precious pastries that can't be named are enough to buy hares in the middle of the mountain.
