Thursday, September 26, 2019, the weather was cloudy.

It was raining a little in the morning, the ground was slippery and there were no pedestrians on the road.

At the two ends of the square alley, I don't know when they were fenced off, a staff member of the demolition and relocation office was carrying a paint bucket and brushing a big word 'demolition' on the front entrance of each store.

Uncle Ge at the snack bar opposite the door was cleaning up the shop, and at the door of the No. 12 used bookstore, Feng Xinran was still flipping through the old books.

Lu Banxin walked out of the grocery store, stretched, looked at the gray sky, and shouted: "Lu Banxin, happy twentieth birthday." ”

Uncle Ge brought a bowl of longevity noodles with a smile, pointed to the soup in the bowl and said, "The chicken soup that has been boiled all night, hurry up and eat it while it's hot." ”

"Okay."

Lu Banxin held the noodle bowl, sat on his grandfather's bamboo chair, and swallowed it all in a few bites.

In the shop, Bai Yi dragged Niu Datong out, and the two had an awkward quarrel early in the morning.

Niu Datong grimaced and roared angrily: "Hmph, I won't leave." ”

Bai Yi almost knelt down, and said with a bitter face: "Grandma, I beg you, do you know what day it is?" If you don't go back, if something happens, who is it? ”

"Count me in."

"Count yours?" Bai Yi laughed angrily, pointed at Niu Datong's nose and scolded, "Are you an awakened one? Or a gatekeeper? You tell me how to calculate? Niu Datong, let me tell you, but if you can calculate it clearly today, in the future, if you let me go east, I will never go west, everything will be up to you. ”

Niu Datong opened his mouth, his face was red, but he didn't hold back a word.

Although the Niu family was also a member of Qianfu Mountain, twenty years ago, in order to continue the bloodline, the family broke away from Qianfu Mountain, and the Niu family completely drew an end from this history. And although Niu Datong's family background is solid, she has no talent to become an awakened person, so naturally she can't calculate it.

Seeing her tears rolling in her eyes, Lu Banxin couldn't bear it, and said to Bai Yi: "It's okay, nothing should happen with you here." Besides, the eighth realm is coming, and the other seven must be coming soon. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp whistle came from outside the alley.

In the drizzle, a chubby man wearing myopic glasses and weighing 200 pounds, and a young man with yellow hair and dressed up in bells and whistles, were walking on the bluestone road of Sifang Lane.

The two of them were followed by an old man who looked quite fairy-like. The old man wore a cyan robe, his gray beard hung down to his chest, his head was covered with a bun, his feet were on cloth shoes, his hands were behind his back, and he took a step at a time, but his eyes were a little sneaky, and he looked a little obscene.

I don't know how he blended these two completely different temperaments at the same time, and there was no conflict, it was natural.

When Bai Yi saw the old man, he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why is the dead old man here?" ”

After speaking, he grinned and showed sixteen big white teeth, and ran towards the old road with a strange scream, shouting as he ran: "Master, the apprentice wants to kill you." ”

He opened his arms, ready to give Lao Dao a big hug, but Lao Dao raised his foot and aimed it at Bai Yi's stomach, just waiting for him to come up and give him a kick.

Bai Yi stopped his steps in time, the person leaned back, and there was a 360-degree backflip, and the person stood firmly in the middle of the alley, he pointed to the old way and scolded: "Stinky bull nose, that's how you treat your baby apprentice?" ”

Lao Dao didn't care, and stroked his beard to look like a master in the world, but the words he said were really out of tune.

"Hitting is kissing and scolding is love, and I don't feel comfortable if I don't kick for a day."

Bai Yi cut off, ignored him, said hello to the other two, and led them to the grocery store.

Song Qi didn't know where to come out, stood beside Lu Banxin, and introduced to her: "That little fat dun is the descendant of the second way, named Qian Si, nicknamed Copper Qian, and the one next to him who killed Matt is the gatekeeper of the third path, named Qin Mingming, nicknamed Phoenix." The most unorthodox one is called Mo Thirteen, the master of Bai Yi, and the gatekeeper of the four paths. ”

Lu Banxin looked at the three of them in surprise, and unconsciously said what was in his heart.

"How can the gatekeeper of Qianfu Mountain be so ......"

"So indecent?"

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice picked up half of what Lu Banxin had said, Lu Banxin was startled, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see a young man wearing a white sportswear and a yellow peaked cap, leaning against the door frame and looking at himself curiously.

He has a peculiar attraction when he laughs, pouting his mouth to show the dimples on his left cheek and his slightly drooping upper eyelids, much like a movie star. He is about 1.85 meters tall, and Lu Banxin needs to look up to see him clearly.

"Li Jian, Seven Paths."

He stretched out his hand and briefly introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Lu Banxin."

Lu Banxin also stretched out his hand, but he didn't hold Li Jian's hand, but was intercepted by a pair of fleshy and fat hands.

"Lu Banxin, hehe, I've heard of the name for a long time."

The owner of the fat hand is not Qian Si, but another fat man who is fatter than Qian Si and more round and jade.

"I'm Luo Qingtian of the Five Daos, nicknamed the big man, you can just call me Qingtian." Luo Qingtian shook Lu Banxin's hand like a rattle, without the slightest intention of letting go, and his mouth did not stop, "I am twenty-two this year, unmarried, one meter seventy-five tall, and weigh ...... You just have to look at it, hehe. My parents died early, and I have a younger sister at home, who just entered high school this year, not a few years younger than you, I guess the two of you should have a lot of common topics, by the way, I also have an uncle, his name is ......"

Luo Qingtian didn't know whether he was too enthusiastic or too verbose, so he dragged Lu Banxin to explain his ancestors for eight generations clearly. Lu Banxin didn't have the heart to listen to him talk about the Luo family tree, but he couldn't pull out his hand or insert it, so he could only cast a look at Li Jian for help.

Li Jian smiled crookedly, lifted Luo Qingtian's trouser belt, and threw him out like a sandbag.

"Don't mind, the eldest man has this temper, he can't move his legs when he sees a woman, just get used to it."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Banxin nodded in response, but his eyes followed Luo Qingtian's fat body to slide out a perfect arc on the street.

Li Jian's arm strength was amazing, and he threw Luo Qingtian, who was nearly three or four hundred catties, out with one hand.

Luo Qingtian was not simple, his body twisted in the air, and he quickly adjusted his body, he first touched the ground with one hand, and the fat ball bounced back in front of the grocery store.

As soon as he stood still, a deep, gruff voice rang out behind him.

"Yes, there is progress."

The man who spoke was a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a set of auto parts city overalls, carrying a tool kit, looking very ordinary, belonging to the kind of person who would never be noticed when thrown in the crowd, he nodded to everyone, and squatted in the corner to smoke.

Song Qi whispered: "He is a Li Zhengguo, and now he ranks second in strength among the nine and eighteen people." ”

"So who's number one?"

Lu Banxin looked at Li Zhengguo and asked in a low voice.

"It was your grandfather, but now it'......"

Song Qi didn't finish his words, and pointed to the back of his neck with his thumb.

Lu Banxin looked in the direction of her finger and saw Li Jian standing in the grocery store, playing with a coin in his hand. The coin tumbled at his fingertips, and a light blue shimmer danced in the center of the coin like a small flame.

Lu Banxin looked at his side face, he turned his head at the same time, and the two looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled.
