Ten years later. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's still that Chu city, but this Chu city is now the territory of Wei, and the king of Wei turned the Chu land that was incorporated into Wei into a state and county, named Manzhou, and the capital of Manzhou was Chu City ten years ago, and now it is renamed Mancheng.

The morning of the mancheng is still noisy, the vegetable seller Huang in the south of the city, has been selling vegetables in the mancheng for decades, today, the eight-year-old grandson can't resist the eight-year-old grandson clamoring to come to the mancheng to see the world, the first time to pick up the vegetables with the baby grandson into the mancheng, the eight-year-old grandson outside the city is still chattering, but after following the grandfather into the mancheng, it is a lot quieter, Huang Laobo saw that his grandson is not noisy, guessed that it may be that the city is not better than the village, there are more noisy people, the tall and majestic buildings give people a kind of oppression, so the grandson is honest, behind the old man Huang quietly and novelly observe the city。

"Grandpa, that gate is so majestic, I have never seen such a majestic stone lion, grandpa, what is that, who lives here, why do the people who pass by the gate seem to be afraid to approach?"

Uncle Huang followed the direction of his grandson's guidance and fell into deep thought.

"Grandpa, you haven't answered me yet," the grandson pouted.

Uncle Huang woke up from his contemplation.

"That word reads 'Chu', the people passing by are not afraid, but respectful, we are all Chu people!" Uncle Huang straightened up, as if worshipping, and there was a sense of Chu pride in his bones.

"Grandpa, I heard my father say that everyone else calls us barbarians, why did grandpa tell me that we are Chu people?"

"Hmph, those despicable Wei people are barbarians, our Great Chu and this despicable Wei people have a common enmity, Ah Mao, you have to remember, we are not Wei people, we are not barbarians, we are Chu people, we have the blood of the Chu people in our bodies!" Uncle Huang was like a hero on the battlefield at this time, arrogant.

The grandson looked at his grandfather, his little heart was shaken, he looked at the door again, looked at the word "Chu", and wrote down this word deeply in his heart.

"Grandpa, who lives behind this gate?" the grandson never had to wait for questions.

"Our king used to live here, but our king doesn't live here now, and ten years ago our royal family moved to the sacred valley of Yan. However, Ah Mao, you must always remember one thing, that is, no matter what, we are all Chu people! No matter where the Chu clan is, we will always be the king!" Uncle Huang's eyes were full of memories, he remembered the third master of Chu back then, the third master of Chu often went out and forgot to bring silver, so he always came to Uncle Huang's stall to eat wine and food, and Uncle Huang was in a trance and heard the hearty laughter of the third master.

"Sooner or later, our old Chu people will come back!" thought Uncle Huang.

Today, Uncle Huang's business is good, before noon, the vegetables were sold out, and he earned dozens of copper coins, and he was very happy, plus the first time he brought his grandson to the big city to see, of course, he had to take his grandson to eat something that only people in the city eat.

The old Chu tavern is usually the favorite place for the hawkers to gather, the owner of the tavern is the old Chu people, named Chu Damian, the old Chu tavern is a century-old shop, Chu Damian took over the old Chu tavern left by the old father at the age of thirty-three, it has been almost 30 years ago, the chef of the old Chu tavern is good at cooking Chu flavor dishes, the price is cheap, and the more distinctive thing is that this tavern has a storytelling table, the boss Chu Damian likes to listen to the old Chu people comment on strange people, and has set up a comment table in the center of the tavern, no matter who can go to this stage to sing and sing anecdotes, it is good, you can send a pot of old Chu wine for free, so this old Chu tavern has some learned or experienced guests come to the stage every day to sing and sing and brag, The hawkers and pawns like to come to this old Chu tavern to eat small dishes and listen to other people's commentaries.

"Yo, Uncle Huang, you're here, come on, please, this is your grandson, he's really strong." Uncle Chu is a frequent visitor here, and sometimes he sends seasonal vegetables or wild goods from his son here, so the shop is very cooked.

At noon, it was the peak period for the hawkers' pawns to eat lunch, so the first and second floors were almost full, and the shopkeeper led Uncle Huang to a small table that had just been cleaned up.

"It's still the same, two side dishes, take a pot of Lao Chu wine" Uncle Huang sat down and ordered the side dishes and wine that he usually ordered.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get the wine." The shopkeeper is skilled in business, and he quickly served a pot of Lao Chu wine.

Huang Amao sat opposite his grandfather, looking around, very excited, at this time, the wine table in the south corner of the tavern remembered a burst of applause, and several middle-aged men greeted an old man with white eyebrows.

The old man smiled and stopped pretending, climbed onto the storytelling platform in the center of the tavern, and after taking the stage, he straightened his clothes, and then shook his surroundings and opened his throat: "Everyone, the old man is seventy-seven out of sixty this year, his name is Wang Ben, he was a guard of the old Chucheng City back then, and today I will tell you an anecdote about the cultivator I saw in the wild boar forest behind the city."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the guests on the first and second floors were all interested in the old man, and it seemed that the Yuan cultivator was not something that ordinary people could see if they wanted to, the Yuan cultivator was very rare, and it was also very mysterious, and there was no one in ten thousand, and the people of the human race all worshiped the Yuan cultivator, because the Yuan cultivator was the guardian force of the human race and could confront the terrifying alien race.

The tavern was quiet, Wang Ben was very satisfied with everyone's performance, Wang Ben took a sip of wine proudly, cleared his throat, and then began to narrate the scene in the wild boar forest the day before yesterday.

"All the old Chu people know that the wild boar forest behind the city is the territory of our Chu third master, this wild boar forest itself is a large number of beasts, and now this wild boar forest has no strong management and deterrence like Chu Sanye, this wild boar forest has become a vast fierce forest, in the past ten years, there are nearly a hundred hunters missing or died in this fierce forest, the city lord of the barbarian city finally felt the threat of this fierce forest to the barbarian city, a few days ago, it was decided to send a powerful hundred-person hunting team to clean up the beasts, this hunting team, there are nine yuan, two yuanshi, it can be seen how powerful this hunting team is。 Lao Wang Ben said that people are most interested in cultivating the Yuan.

"In the first two days when this hunting team entered the periphery of the fierce forest, it was very smooth and brilliant, hunting nearly 100 huge fierce black boar demons, hunting and killing a group of bloodthirsty dog demons who caused trouble to the world, and also captured a monster with a human body and a tiger's head alive. It is said that this monster with a tiger's head is more than two feet high, and its strength is infinite, and it can knock down a century-old tree with one punch, open its huge mouth, and can spew out strong winds, which is extremely ferocious. However, the warriors of our human race are not vegetarians, especially the eleven cultivators, who subdued this fierce beast with a single sword formation. Old man Wang Ben stopped at this point, as if he was thinking about something.

"This team in three days, into the depths of the fierce forest, the fierce beasts began to become less and less, but more and more powerful, the hunting team began to attrition, on the fourth day, the hunting team encountered a strange three-headed snake demon, this three-headed snake as the name suggests has three heads, and each head color is different, it is said that these three colors represent three meta-attributes, the black snake head in the middle is highly poisonous element, the red snake head on the left is the fire attribute element, the gray snake head is the earth attribute element, although the three-headed snake demon is only three inches long, but it is extremely powerful, this snake can disappear silently, and then suddenly appear to attack, the speed is fastIn the sneak attack of this three-headed snake demon, dozens of hunting team members were killed, and the Yuan could only protect himself, and he could not attack effectively at all. ”

"At the very critical moment, two powerful Yuan Masters made a move, these two Yuan Masters, one Xiu Jian Yuan, one Xiu Shui Yuan, when the three-headed snake demon appeared in front of a hunting team member again, the monk who cultivated the water element played a water talisman, the water rune burst into a net formed by the water element, and the snake demon was trapped, and another sword master saw the opportunity to stab out dozens of sword qi, wanting to result in the snake demon in the water net, but when it came, the gray head of the snake demon spewed out an earthen wall shield, which blocked dozens of sword qi, and the black head also spewed out black poison elements to the water net, and the black poison elements were integrated into the water element net, and spread rapidly。 When the old man Wang Ben saw that everyone was fascinated by what he heard, he was very satisfied, and took a sip of old wine.

"Uncle Wang, don't stop, let's continue talking first, I'll cover your wine money after dinner!" A man sitting by the window saw Wang Ben stop sipping wine and was anxious.

Old man Wang Ben smiled and continued, " The snake venom of this snake is very weird, it can spread along the water net, and in an instant, the entire colorless water net turns black, and the water net is corroded, but the two masters are the master after all, and at the same time that the water net is corroded, the sharp sword of the sword master has been stabbed, and the ice spear of the water master has blocked the way of the demon snake, just when everyone thought that the snake demon was dead, the snake demon disappeared to the ground, and the snake demon appeared behind the water master in the electric light, and the red head opened its mouth and spewed out a fire blade, directly cutting off the head of the sword master!

Everyone saw that the sword master was killed instantly, shocked and angry, all the yuan and the hunting team members attacked the three-headed snake demon at the same time, all kinds of yuan skills hit the snake demon, the snake demon had no way to retreat, and was stabbed by the ice spear of the water yuan master, but the gray head of the snake demon is an earth attribute, the defense is amazing, the ice spear only created a slight injury to it, the snake demon saw that everyone was besieging, and he was also angry, and the three mouths at the same time sent out a sharp clear flute, after the sound of the clear flute, the ground within a radius of dozens of zhang began to loosen, and thousands of various giant python vipers broke out of the ground from the ground, as if it became a sea of snakes, the scene was like a snake hell, very infiltrating, the hunting team was scared half to death, and they defended, but how can it withstand the attack of so many ferocious poisonous snakes, coupled with the angry three-headed snake demon, the hunting team was instantly overwhelmed by poisonous snakes. When the old man Wang Ben said this, he stopped, everyone didn't react, and he was still immersed in the sea of poisonous snakes, Huang Amao was so frightened that he was about to cry, he and his grandfather came out for the first time, and they heard such an exciting and terrible story, gritted their teeth, and their eyes were wide open.

"And just when the hunting party is about to fall, guess what's the result?"

"That must be dead!" replied an old farmer after a moment's thought.

"Fart, it's dead, this story can't be told, and now that Wang Lao tells it, there should be someone involved who escaped alive, and then passed it on to Wang Lao, and Wang Lao sang it to everyone, isn't it, everyone. Uncle Huang had some experience and refuted the old farmer's words.

"Reasonable!" the crowd agreed.

"Elder Wang, don't sell it, what is the fate of this hunting team in the end, what happened to the snake demon, could it be that the snake demon is so kind and lets go of the hunting team?"

The old man Wang Ben scolded with a smile, "File man, don't worry, the point is here, listen slowly." ”

"Just when the group of snakes was about to kill the hunting team, an ordinary axe, with the sound of the wind, with the momentum of splitting mountains and rivers, slashed at the three-headed snake demon obliquely, and the snake demon saw the ordinary axe slashing towards him, as if seeing death, the three snake heads sent out the most powerful Yuan Technique at the same time, the red snake head spewed out a wall of fire, the gray head spewed out a hundred earth walls, and the black head spewed out a dark green poisonous sword shot at the axe."

"When the poisonous sword is about to touch the axe, the storm around the axe rises instantly, turning the poisonous sword into nothing, the axe is still the same, touching the wall of fire and the wall of earth, it is as easy as cutting a watermelon, breaking the block, the axe is done, cutting off the black head in the middle of the snake demon, and the axe handle brings up the red head, inserted in an old locust tree, the axe handle fixes the demon snake dead on the trunk, the snake body and tail continue to roll, trying to break free, but no matter how struggled, can not break free. ”

A thundercloud appeared in the sky, and countless tiny lightning bolts fell from the thundercloud, accurately slashing the boundless group of snakes, and with just one blow, the thousands of poisonous snakes were chopped into pulp. ”

As if he was missing something, the old man stopped narrating and looked at the clouds outside the window, as if he was in it, bathed in thunder and lightning.

"Elder Wang, Elder Wang, what's wrong with you, why don't you speak!" The shopkeeper stretched out his right hand and shook it in front of Elder Wang.

The old man Wang Ben shook his head, as if he wanted to shake the thoughts in his heart out of his mind.

"Thunder and lightning!Elder Wang, is it the cultivator who cultivated Lei Yuan that has appeared?" someone asked in surprise.

"Could it be ------- Third Master Chu--" An old man wanted to ask, but didn't dare to say it.

Everyone speculated about who saved the hunting party.

"No, it's not Third Master Chu, it's a gray-clothed young man chopping wood, that young man is handsome, it is said that he was chopping firewood nearby, passing by here, and reaching out to help!" Wang Ben said.

"Gray-clothed boy, chopping wood, no, how can a young man kill a snake demon that a hundred-person hunting team and eleven Yuan cultivators can't deal with in an instant!" everyone began to discuss.

"My son is a member of the surviving killing team, and he told me that the three-headed snake demon is the Hell Snake Demon King who is famous in the fierce forest and ranks ninth in the fierce name! The strength is comparable to that of the peak cultivator!" The old man Wang Ben threw out a surprising point, the whole tavern was like an explosion, and people talked about the young man in this incident, and people began to think, who was this gray-clothed young man who chopped wood, and he could easily kill the snake demon king with the strength of the peak Yuan Master.
