Chapter 1: The Temple of the God of War

Zuo Xiaoyou stood in the vast giant hall full of exotic flowers and plants, his eyes full of confusion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just took advantage of the filming break to doze off, how did you come to such a strange place as soon as you woke up?

Shake your head, pull your energy back to reality, and carefully observe your environment. He was now in the Great Hall, and at the same time he was shocked by the extremely vast and high space of the Great Hall. Just like the villain of Lilliputian, under a momentary mistake, he came to the big hall built by the giant, the front end of the giant hall and the halls on the left and right sides were at least forty zhang away from him, and he was as small as an ant. On the huge wall of the right entrance, a line of big seals is carved from top to bottom, straight down from the top of the hall, the end is separated by at least 30 zhang outside, each word zhang Xu sees the square, the book is written: [Heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs].

Seeing this, Zuo Xiaoyou's heart shook, as if he had thought of something, but he was not sure, and hurriedly continued to observe.

The giant hall is shrouded in a soft blue light, which contrasts with the red light that penetrates through the exit. The left and right look at the top of the palace, the center of the top of the hall forty zhang from the ground, there is a round object embedded in it, two zhang in diameter, emitting green and yellow light, like an indoor sun, so that the whole giant hall is bathed in ten thousand blue light.

With this light source as the center, the top of the hall has a large circle with a diameter of 20 zhang, the same as the star map at the entrance of the secret road, but it is several times larger, the giant hall is covered under the infinite stars, the giant hall does not see a pillar, does not see a thing, there is a relief of two zhang Xu Jianfang on the ground in the heart of the temple, and there are twenty-four relief drawings of each side of the wall on the left and right sides, plus the relief map of the center of the palace. It's exactly forty-nine.

The relief carving on the ground in the heart of the hall is exquisitely carved, carving a god wearing strange armor and covering his face with a mask, and a monster that looks like a dragon and not a dragon sits under his crotch, and flies down from the upper left corner of the nine cracked thick clouds, and pounces on a blood-red fireball in the lower right corner. There are five big characters above the relief, which are the "God of War Catalogue I".

Seeing this, Zuo Xiao's right face showed a look of surprise, excitement, and excitement.

This is the Temple of the God of War!

After the excitement, Zuo Xiaoyou began to guess the world he was in: "Is it "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" or "Legend of the Frontier Wilderness"? ”

I didn't have an answer for a while, so I could only wait for the "God of War Catalogue" to go out and have a look.

Zuo Xiaoyou also felt that he was a little big-hearted, and he had obviously experienced great changes, but he accepted the reality very easily. In this way, natural selection of the fittest survives, and the faster you adapt, the better you can live.

When I first read the novel, this God of War catalogue was called the first of the four strange books, which can pass through the mysteries of heaven and earth, left and right looked at the first picture, and looked carefully for a long time, sure enough, the mystery was so secret, with his full reading of poetry and books, the ability to understand ancient texts was seventy or eighty percent incomprehensible, and he almost suffocated internal injuries.

Quickly looked away, took a breath, walked to the left wall, and came to the last one, except for the [God of War Catalog Forty-Nine Broken Void], there was nothing on it, and I didn't feel a little disappointed.

Turning one piece, it was written on it [God of War Catalogue Forty-Eight Return to Nine Heavens], the god of war in the appearance of that day, and rode the monster that looked like a dragon and not a dragon, flying up from the lower right corner, passing through the nine clouds, and flying to the upper left corner, which was exactly the opposite direction of the first one.

Left and right sat down cross-legged and thought silently. After a long time, he got up and patted his buttocks: "Try to practice!" ”

……

Yangzhou City gradually became lively.

After the city gate was opened, the merchants and peasants rushed in and out of the city gate.

The boats that arrived yesterday were unloaded at the wharf and sent into the city at this time.

From Yangzhou to the east of the Yangtze River, you can go to sea to the Wa Kingdom, Ryukyu and Nanyang places, so Yangzhou has become one of the most important transfer stations in the country, busier and more intense than any city.

Today, however, the atmosphere is a bit unusual, as there are a large number of officers and men inside and outside the city, and the inspection of customs clearance is much stricter, and there are long queues of exhaustion. However, although everyone was anxious, no one dared to complain, because the people who were used to running the rivers and lakes saw that there were many big men wearing janissaries among the local officers and soldiers, and unless they didn't want to die, who would dare to blame the most domineering imperial guards from the capital.

There are a total of five markets in the city, among which the South Gate Market facing the Yangtze River is the most prosperous, and there are dozens of stalls offering all kinds of food, which are of different sizes, making it an ideal place for passengers who are ready to take a boat to the river.

In addition to being the hub of transportation, Yangzhou is also a famous fireworks resort since ancient times, whether it is a wealthy businessman with a lot of money, or a famous man with literary style, a swinger of fencing, if you do not visit here, you are not a good man in the wind and moon field.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the situation is prosperous.

Among the food stalls at the south gate, Lao Feng's vegetable and meat buns are the most famous. In addition, the old concubine Feng Xiaofei, who specializes in selling steamed buns, is born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and has become a living signboard for attracting business.

When Lao Feng carried a plate of steaming vegetable and meat buns to the front of the shop for his sister-in-law to sell, the impatient customers rushed to hand over the money.

Sister-in-law Zhen was busy sweating, and suddenly a young man's big head came out of the pile, and said with a smile: "Eight vegetable and meat buns, hello sister-in-law!" ”

This son is Xu Ziling, because he was afraid of seeing Lao Feng, he deliberately hunched his body, half a cut shorter than everyone else, and his appearance made people laugh.

Fortunately, he was very pleasant-looking, with long, elf-looking eyes, a high nose, a broad forehead, and a sunny smile on the corner of his mouth. If it weren't for the oily face and ragged clothes, and the face was bruised and swollen by Boss Yan, his appearance was really good. Now! It doesn't dare to compliment people.

When Sister-in-law Zhen saw him, she first looked back worriedly at Lao Feng and the evil lady who couldn't get busy in the kitchen, and saw that they couldn't see the situation here, so she put her mind at ease.

While dealing with the other guests, she pretended to be coquettish and said, "I don't have the money to learn what buns to buy?" ”

Xu Ziling said with a smile: "If you have a delay, I will pay you back tomorrow." ”

Sister-in-law Zhen took four buns in the fastest way, hesitated for a moment and took two more, wrapped them in paper, stuffed them into his hand, and scolded in a low voice: "This is the last trip, alas! Look at what you've done. ”

Xu Ziling cheered, withdrew from the crowd, straightened his waist, and immediately became more energetic.

It turned out that although he was young, he had grown as tall as an adult man, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, but due to malnutrition, he was relatively thin.

Squeezed through a row of vegetable and fruit stalls, Hengli Kou Zhong snatched it out, grabbed a bun with his hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Is it the last trip?" ”

Kou Zhong was a year older than him, but he was half an inch shorter, broad-shouldered, thick-armed, and rather stout.

Although he owes Xu Ziling the handsomeness, he has big ears, and his silhouette has a strong taste full of manliness, and his demeanor is indifferent, which is very attractive; The eyes are deep and smart, and they are by no means inferior to Xu Ziling, which makes people feel that this son will not be a thing in the pool one day.

However, his clothes are more filthy than Xu Ziling, and he is not much better than a little beggar.

Xu Ziling was already eating the third bun, and frowned: "Don't talk about the length of the sister-in-law, is it good?" How many kind-hearted people like her are there in Yangzhou now? It's a pity that her mother's family owes two silver taels, and her father regards wealth as his life, so he sold her to stinky old Feng as a concubine, God must be blind. ”

As they were talking, the two bumped into one of them.

"Two little brothers, be careful." When he was secretly screaming badly, he heard a kind voice in his ears. The two of them are just two gangsters in Yangzhou, it would be good not to be scolded when they met people in the past, who would say good things to them? This person is so kind that he doesn't feel comfortable for the two of them.

When I looked up, I couldn't help but see what I saw. It turned out that they bumped into a young scholar, this scholar looked twenty-four or five years old, with a long face like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like a gall, a smile on the corner of his lips, a white scholar's suit, although not luxurious, but very clean and tidy, and his height of eight feet away made him look a little more heroic, which made the two of them break their hearts at first sight.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I collided with Childe, a small capital offense." Although this is the case, after more than ten years of being in the rivers and lakes, the two knew that each other's identities were completely unequal, so they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes at the first time.

"Little brother is serious." The white-clothed scholar smiled slightly and said, "If the two little brothers really want to admit their mistakes, then tell me where the snacks are the most delicious?" It was my first time in Yangzhou, and I was completely unfamiliar with it. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's eyes lit up, and Kou Zhong hurriedly sneered: "Childe can be regarded as asking the right person, if you want to say that the most delicious snack in Yangzhou, Lao Feng's vegetable and meat buns are the most delicious." Speaking of this, Kou Zhong's saliva flowed out again.

Seeing him like this, the white-clothed scholar chuckled: "It seems that the little brother didn't lie to me." He threw out ten copper plates: "I'm tired of my little brother to help me lead the way." ”

Seeing the ten copper plates, Kou Zhong's eyes brightened, and Xu Ziling was also ready to move, these ten copper plates are ten vegetable and meat buns! Although the two of them have decided to go out of the city to join the rebels, they are only taking three or five steps, how can they not take advantage of this time?

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Kou Zhong hurriedly stuffed the copper coin into his arms, and smiled with a sneer: "Childe, please." ”

The two left not far away, and soon brought the white-clothed scholar to Lao Feng's stall of vegetable and meat buns, but the scene they saw at this time made the two of them tremble.

"Secretly give the bastard buns, I'll kill you slut!" I saw that Lao Feng and his wicked eldest woman were slamming the delicate sister-in-law with a rolling pin. Sister-in-law Zhen was weak, and how could she stand such a beating, she couldn't help crying bitterly, holding her head and rolling on the ground.

"Stop!" Xu Ziling shouted, rushed forward and kicked Lao Feng away, and Kou Zhong over there was not far behind, kicking the evil lady away, turning this vicious couple into a rolling gourd.

"Sister-in-law, are you alright?" Xu Ziling helped her sister-in-law up, and when she saw her miserable appearance with her hair scattered, her cheeks red and swollen, and blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell: "What a ruthless old Feng!" Sister-in-law, I avenge you! ”

"Don't!" Although Sister-in-law Zhen was beaten very miserably, she didn't want Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to get involved, after all, she was Lao Feng's concubine, in this era, it is natural for a man to beat a woman, and it will be over after the beating, but if outsiders get involved, I am afraid that things will become very troublesome, which is what Sister-in-law Zhen definitely does not want to see.

"But ......"

"Xiaoling, count me begging you." Sister-in-law begged with tears in her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Xu Ziling's heart shook violently, and he was about to say something, but he heard Lao Feng and his evil wife sitting on the ground and shouting: "Old man! Kill! Someone wants to kill, come on! ”

When the onlookers saw this scene, Qi Qi showed disdain, but as Sister-in-law Zhen thought, this is Lao Feng's housework after all, and they are not good at interfering, but there are also good people who are coaxing, asking Lao Feng and the evil woman to stand up and fight with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and the angry old Feng and the evil woman gritted their teeth.

At this mess, the white-clothed scholar walked into the middle and asked, "Little brother, what's going on?" ”

Facing Zuo Xiaoyou's inquiry, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were stunned for a moment, and then told about the tragic life experience of Sister-in-law Zhen, and then explained the reason why Sister-in-law Zhen was beaten with some embarrassment.

After listening, the white-clothed scholar nodded: "I see." He glanced at his sister-in-law carefully, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "What a delicate flower, it's too aggrieved to be such a small vendor's concubine." ”

After saying this, the sister-in-law blushed, especially when she saw the appearance of this son, her face was even more red.

When Lao Feng heard this, the angry three corpse gods jumped violently, and jumped up from the ground on the spot: "Nonsense! ”

The white-clothed scholar turned his head and glanced at Lao Feng, and a purple edge flashed in his eyes. Lao Feng was suddenly struck by lightning, and his hair stood on end, like a frog targeted by a poisonous snake, and he didn't dare to make the slightest movement.

The scholar in white turned his gaze back to his sister-in-law: "How much did your father buy you at the beginning?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhen's expression was gloomy, and she said in a low voice: "Twenty taels of silver." ”

During this period, one tael of silver was equivalent to one hundred copper coins, twenty taels of silver was two thousand copper coins, and a bun was a copper coin, and the purchasing power of one copper coin was equivalent to five cents in modern times. In other words, my sister-in-law's father bought his daughter for only 1,000 yuan.

The white-clothed scholar couldn't help but shake his head, took out a heavy ingot of silver from his sleeve, and said to Lao Feng: "This is twenty taels of silver, go and bring Zhen'er's deed of sale." ”

If it was usual, Lao Feng would never sell his sister-in-law for twenty taels, but the white-clothed scholar's eyes just now were too terrifying, and the fear that seemed to be facing the impermanence of black and white made Lao Feng dare not have any resistance, so he lowered his head and hurriedly took the deed of sale of his sister-in-law, and presented it with trembling hands: "Gong...... Childe, this is the cheap...... Her deed of sale, please take a look. ”

The white-clothed scholar took it and handed it to his sister-in-law: "Is this one?" ”

Sister-in-law Zhen saw the content and signature on the deed of sale, she was very familiar with it, and nodded when she heard the words: "Childe, it's this one." ”

"Hmm." The white-clothed scholar casually tore the deed of sale into pieces and smiled slightly: "From today on, you are free." ”
