It was night, and thousands of miles of fireworks went on.

……

The night was miserable, the moonlight was cold, and large dark clouds were floating in the sky.

A bustling town in the south of the Yangtze River.

It was night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, only a few peddlers and pawns chatting under the street tea sheds, and in addition to these few people, there was also an acrobatic troupe.

Acrobatics, as it has existed in ancient times, is equivalent to the modern circus.

Several young people performing acrobatics are sitting around watching a white-faced young man perform.

"Look, what is this?" The young man asked with a smile.

"A basin of water." Someone laughed.

"And what is this?"

"A jug of wine."

The white-faced young man smiled: "Yes, this is indeed wine, but if this wine passes through the water, it can turn into ice!" Unbelief? Hmph, this is my latest thing, you all have a look! ”

The young man poured the wine into the water, and with both hands in it, he did make him take out a pinch of ice.

"Wow!"

The few young people around were very face-saving and amazed. It's not a boast, this hand is really beautiful, and someone immediately said: "Third brother, who did you learn this trick from, can you teach me well?" ”

The young man called "Third Brother" hummed: "Beautiful you! It took me 500 years to learn this trick, do you want to learn it? Okay, I don't charge more, just give 250 wen. ”

"Hey!"

On the same side of the street, there was a seat in the distance, and on the seat sat an old man, who had an ordinary face, but was particularly eye-catching in a flowered robe and hat.

His face was full of arrogance, he turned his head, glanced at the young people, and sighed disdainfully.

The young man was not happy and said angrily: "Even the old man, what are you sighing for? Do you look down on me? If you really have the ability, just change a trick to show everyone, don't follow everyone to eat every time. ”

This old man is naturally a famous killer on the rivers and lakes, called "Color Drama Master".

He was very fond of tricks, and if he had no tasks on weekdays, he would follow this acrobatic troupe to the north and south, but there was no trick that he could handle, so he took the least amount of silver, and everyone else had an opinion of him, but he himself was at ease.

The Blackstone Killer is still the core of the core, and he is certainly not short of money.

All he wants is to live the life he likes.

"Yes, even the old man, I hate to see your face! Obviously he has no ability, but he looks down on others! ”

"Even the old man, come one, come one!"

Others are running and applauding.

Lian Lian took a big sip of wine and shook his head slightly: "Condensation into ice? I played it decades ago, and now I forgot it. What I'm playing now is a real trick. ”

The third brother suddenly couldn't hold his face, and said angrily: "Even the old man, are you going to talk about the immortal rope again?!" ”

The others were very happy and chuckled: "Even the old man, you are really old, and you are still dreaming, don't you dream of the fairy Suo every night, I am afraid that you want to go to heaven every day and every night." ”

"Heaven is nothing, I see that even the old man is old-hearted, and he still wants to carry the fairy to bed."

The others burst out laughing, and the next words became more and more meaty, and no one paid any attention to the old man.

Lian Lian's face was as usual, and he shook his head slightly, continuing to drink the wine in his usual hand.

Suddenly, I saw a firework flashing in the shadow of the wine in the bowl, his expression changed greatly, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly showed a domineering atmosphere, and when he looked up at the sky, he saw a firework rising into the sky, like a meteor.

"Urging people's lives, urging people's lives, you can't let me live a peaceful life for two days......"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and then turned into a light sigh, stood up, threw his backpack to the ground, took out an ordinary long rope, and suddenly smiled at those people: "Don't you want to see the fairy rope?" ”

As he spoke, he threw his hand away.

Sou!

The ordinary rope was actually straight up, straight into the sky, I don't know where its end was, and after the rope was released, the rope remained straight, as if someone in the sky was holding the other end of the rope.

"This ......"

"How is that possible!"

Several young acrobats were stunned.

The corners of his mouth hooked, and he hung a touch of pride - even if he usually assassinated the top masters, he would not feel much sense of accomplishment, but he could scare these half-grown rabbit cubs, but it made him full of accomplishment and very happy.

The third brother was dumbfounded and muttered, "God...... Could this really be a fairy rope? ”

The rope monster screamed, his hands turned, and a cloud of white smoke spit out from his cuffs, and he dragged it upwards sharply, and the white smoke enveloped the rope, and his old body instantly turned into a flexible ape, and along the rope, a few jumps, it was already several feet above the ground.

The third brother suddenly shouted: "Even the old man is leaving!" I'm going to go to the fairy rope too! ”

He let out a wry laugh and raised his eyebrows proudly at the young men, especially the third brother who had questioned him before.

"Young man, if you want to be an immortal, you need to have real skills, are you qualified?"

The third brother ran quickly, grabbed the rope, and immediately climbed upward, as for the rope, it had already entered the black cloud twenty zhang high and disappeared. The rope was pulled up quickly, and the third brother was in a hurry, speeding up his pace, but he still couldn't catch up with the speed of the rope flying.

"Ahh

Whew!

First there was a scream of horror, followed by the sound of fabric tearing, and limbs flew wildly.

Everyone was frightened, and they were all secretly thinking: Could it be that even the old man hurt Xu Laosan? Look at it again, the limbs that are flying around are straw, only the clothes are Xu Laosan's, and Xu Laosan is naked, sitting in place ashamedly.

Smack!

Even the old man has disappeared, but the rope has fallen to the ground, it is just an ordinary rope that is several zhang long, but even the old man's performance is indeed incredible, and there is only a legendary fairy rope.

Hiss.

The young men gasped in unison, looked at each other, and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

What the hell is going on?

In just a few breaths, how did the old man take off the clothes on Xu Laosan's body? And where did this torn scarecrow come from? Countless questions hit my mind, of course, the most important thing is, where did the old man go?

Is there really a god in the world?

Seriously!

……

is also in the south of the Yangtze River, another quiet town, an ordinary courtyard house, and a middle-aged man who looks very ordinary.

This man is very handsome, like a scholar, but at this moment he is like a farmer, squatting on the roof of his house, reaching out to touch his masterpiece, his movements are not gentle, but his eyes are full of affection.

- On the roof, noodles are dried with white flowers.

The noodles are wide and thin, exuding a faint flour taste, but it is also ordinary, but this taste seems to have a kind of magic, and the man played with it, and then sat down on the side, the tip of his nose twitched slightly, and his face was intoxicated.

He opened his eyes, looked at the moon in the sky, and said gently: "The moonlight is good tonight, and the noodles won't be rotten, which is great." ”

While talking, the man wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after a night's work, he was a little tired, and suddenly a brilliant fireworks bloomed in the air, breaking through the sky like a meteor, and the man's face changed suddenly.

"Bad luck."

The gentleness on the man's face suddenly changed, giving birth to an indescribable solemnity, and with a little foot, he jumped off the roof and landed in the courtyard without making any sound.

He was afraid of waking up his wife and children, who were already asleep.

The man wanted to leave, but his feet stopped suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that he still had an extremely important matter to explain, struggled, turned back, opened the door, and came to the bed quietly like a tanuki.

The moonlight shone gently on the two sleeping faces, who were his wife and son, who were not stupid.

Just as she was fascinated, her wife suddenly opened her eyes and smiled: "Aren't you leaving, why did you come back again?" ”

She was originally a well-known killer in the rivers and lakes, and after following this man, she withdrew from the rivers and lakes, her ears are very strong, and she is particularly sensitive to sound, and the entanglements of the talented man naturally fell into her eyes.

The man was a little embarrassed, so he had to nod and say, "Well, there is something important that I have to leave soon." ”

The woman didn't understand her husband's thoughts, and chuckled: "Do you want to explain to me, don't forget that before the sun comes out, you collected the noodles on the roof?" ”

Speaking of this, the man came to his senses, his eyes were full of essence, and his eyebrows flew and danced: "I was afraid of disturbing you, but you know, the noodles dried in the shade are better than ordinary noodles, and they can't be cooked in the soup for a long time!" The moonlight tonight was fantastic, and this time the noodles were definitely the best I've ever dried! You eat first, and when I come back from my errands, I'll have three bowls full......"

"Alright, alright, don't look at you. Let's go, don't worry, I'll help you collect it. The woman smiled helplessly and helped her husband straighten his clothes.

"Well, then I'm leaving." The man said softly.

When the man disappeared, the woman who had been smiling on her face suddenly changed, full of worry, and muttered, "You—you must not have an accident." ”

……

In the Ouchi Palace, an old eunuch who was holding a urinal followed behind a young eunuch.

The young eunuch yawned in his mouth, pulled a sharp voice, and while walking, he commanded: "Old eunuch, if it weren't for the slave family looking at your old age and rewarding you with a mouthful of food, you would have been kicked out of the palace a long time ago, do you know?" ”

"That's what my father-in-law said." The old eunuch bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

Shout!

As soon as the old eunuch's ears moved, he raised his head suddenly, and saw the bright fireworks blooming in the air, his face suddenly sank, and in an instant, his face had changed several times.

I only heard him whisper in a gloomy voice: "Fat Chen, do you dare to betray Heishi?" ”

"Yo, what beautiful fireworks! Hey, you old eunuch, you deliberately went against me, didn't you? Your eyes are out of breath, and you don't see your father-in-law stopping? ”

But the young eunuch suddenly stopped to watch the fireworks, the old eunuch was thinking about something, he didn't see it, he rushed forward, and the urine splashed out of the spittoon, which almost made the young eunuch mad, and scolded wantonly.

The old eunuch suddenly raised his head, and in the dark night, those eyes were sharp, like cold electricity.

"You ......"

The young eunuch was scolding, and suddenly met these eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, and felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but take several steps back in fright.

The old eunuch's face was gloomy, and he handed the urinal to the young eunuch: "Father-in-law, I have something important to do tonight, and I want to take leave with you." ”

"Uh, yes, yes!" The young eunuch swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said.

The old eunuch retreated, arched his hand at the young eunuch, and left backwards like this, and as soon as he turned the corner, he turned into a phantom, scurrying left and right in the Ouchi Palace, and soon left the palace and out of the imperial city.

……

At the same time, in different places, the killers located in the north and south of the river all saw this brilliant firework, and then acted together and rushed towards Jinling City.

They each have their own and different stories, but they have the same obsession and the same helplessness.

This night, there is a gentle killer who likes to dry noodles under the moon, and his dream is: to open a small noodle restaurant and cook the strongest noodles.

This night, there is an old man in a robe and a hat and a cape, and his dream is to open an acrobatic troupe and wander the country, just to perform a trick that people will never forget.

On this night, there was also an old eunuch who lived alone in the netherworld, wearing a black robe and holding ten halls, and his dream was: indescribable.

……

"Come, tell me your dreams." In Jinling City, on the bank of the Qinhuai River, on a flower boat, Lin Fan reached out with his right hand, used it as a microphone, and handed it to the drizzle, a little serious, and a little jokingly asked.

Drizzle rolled her eyes: "Boring." ”

The Qinhuai River has always been prosperous and prostitute, there are a lot of flower boats, at night, countless lights are lit up, colorful, although it is not as prosperous as the night scene of later generations, but it also has a unique taste.

On this flower boat, there are only Lin Fan and Drizzle.

Lin Fan was going to call a popular Qingqi person to sing the song, but he was brutally blasted out by the drizzle, and Lin Fan had no choice but to give up.

Lin Fan shook his head boredly: "Girl, you are so boring, what is the ultimate dream of the three people of the Wheel King, Lei Bin, and Lian Lian, I have already told you, but you don't tell me what your dream is." ”

Drizzle sneered: "Hmph, you don't know astronomy and geography, you claim to be more old man than Old Man Zhang, nothing in the rivers and lakes can hide from your eyes, what is my dream, do you still need to say it?" You should have known this a long time ago. ”

Lin Fan smiled, suddenly didn't speak, and only stared at the drizzle's face with burning eyes.

Drizzle panicked, but her heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she glared at Lin Fan in annoyance: "What do you see me doing, believe it or not, I will dig out your eyes?!" ”

"I don't believe it."

Drizzle was even more panicked in his heart, and said that his mind was really seen through by him, it was really a shame, and after thinking about it, how could he understand his thoughts about him, even he didn't understand!

All of a sudden, her thoughts were like a mess, mixed together, cut and tied.

The corner of Drizzle's eyes was raised, and his right hand was already pressed on the water sword, and he said angrily: "Do you really think I don't dare? ”

Lin Fan sat on a blanket, he leaned back, and added lightly: "You can't beat me." ”

Drizzle: "......"

At this moment, her heart was broken.
