Chapter 63: This Bad Luck
In July and August every year, Qinggang City always ushers in several heavy rains. This year's rain came very late, but it still came. From a distance, the buildings on the five steps look like crops in terraced fields, standing high and low in a clean place after the rain, with light. Under the bricks and stones, there is a very complete diversion channel, like the blood of a person, crisscrossing the whole city. These channels are hidden under the eaves of each house, in the courtyards, and even the gutters on both sides of the roadbed are buried deep under large blocks of blue stones. The road surface is not wide and has a slight arch, and the rainwater leaks into the suction ports on both sides before it has time to accumulate, and there is not the slightest sign of water in the whole city.
This rain is the best gift from heaven, it washes the lead of the city for a year, returns all its original color, tinkles into the jars and pots, and then fills the water cellars and drinking troughs of the cattle, and flows down one by one, and finally completes its final mission in the moat. If you look closely, the corners of each channel are round, each interface is slightly wider than the previous level, and it is lined with fine runes. The predecessors who presided over the construction of this city back then cared so much about this, so many rune arrays, I am afraid it is not just as simple as working the people and losing money.
Originally, there was a teleportation array on each step in the city, as the most prosperous place within a radius of thousands of miles, when it was brilliant, each large array was bustling and lively. It's a pity that the good times don't last long, Qinggang City finally declined, and now only the teleportation array on the third order is still operating.
The architecture here is characteristic, reminiscent of the Colosseum in later generations, with an elliptical cloister surrounding the large array, and the passages leading in all directions finally converge on the high platform in the center. In this way, the large array teleportation is like a performance. It's a pity that there is only one exit, and no matter how many people are waiting for the bus, they can't rush up. What's more, there are only a few teams of people now.
The disciples of the Peimen Sect presided over the affairs here, handing over the spar in one hand and opening the formation in the other, which could not be simpler. The total number of stations in the east, west, and south can be reached, and the price is calculated according to a mid-level spirit stone of ten miles, rounded off, and the nearest station is 1,800 miles away, which is another adjacent big city teleportation array. I can't throw you into the wilderness anyway, right?
As for the sister-in-law who served tea and water, the vomiting bag of sickness medicine at her fingertips, and the fairy picture that relieved the pressure of transmission... I guess you're overthinking. If you have a burst of luck, you can get a good face and look beautiful enough. Anyway, if you like to go or not, people don't negotiate the price, don't explain, and don't guarantee the ticket.
What? Are you in a hurry? Are you in a hurry to come here? No matter how anxious you are, you have to line up on a first-come, first-served basis. Unless it is the children of the sect themselves, if they are not rich, they will not be able to become VIPs. It's okay to add a stopper, first ask yourself if you're tired of being crooked. Of course, the exception is the one with the sliver. But did you understand it before asking someone to break it? For the sake of two soaks of urine? Don't forget that there are supernatural powers in flexibility, and there are greater human feelings in human affection. Don't wait around and still queue, then it's not interesting.
After a turbulent wave of spiritual power, Chen Yihu, the second leader of Wuthering Heights, walked out of the teleportation array, followed by two cronies' subordinates. If you want to say that this world is such a big forest, there are really birdmen who are pompous everywhere, and they have just suffered the evil spirit of Gasai in another big array. The three of them were greeting their mother, and the farmer who was staying here brought even worse news, 'The fourth child is gone'.
Originally, this month, Wuthering Heights will be among the outer halls of Qinggang City of the Peimen Sect, and the six brothers are going to get together in Qinggang City. He returned as scheduled, but suddenly heard bad news, so how could he not be angry. Besides, the fourth child was brought out by him, and he has the best relationship with him on weekdays, and it is even more of a lifelong friendship if he worships the son.
"What??
Chen Yihu was furious and grabbed the messenger, and the guy's feet suddenly left the ground.
"This is strange, what does the boss say?"
The guy blushed, but he didn't dare to answer a little slowly. "Don't worry, the boss only explained, I hope you mourn, let you go back to the villa first, and then you will have your own explanation. The small one is to pass on a word, and the boss who is too detailed really didn't say it."
Seeing that the second master let go of his hand in a daze, and his eyes were gloomy, the guy cautiously continued: "But I heard the message from Lao Wei, it seems that the fourth master himself made a mistake, and this is ......." The idea is still in the big black lake, and the boss is leading dozens of people to round up, and it is estimated that he should be caught at this time. Second, you can watch with peace of mind."
"Bullshit! Who believes it? A bunch of shit! Count on them, the old sows are up trees. For a girl, dozens of people have not succeeded for several months, and they are embarrassed to let me wait. According to me, I burned down her Ten Thousand Beasts Village earlier, and I was awkwardly playing tricks, and the fourth child was playing to death, still playing?!"
After finishing speaking, Chen Yihu turned around and said to the two cronies: "I just said that there is no need to do things in a twist and turn, it is originally a covetous thing for other people, and it is pretending to be a circle." In the end, it's not to take advantage of the fact that people are left alone, kill people and oversell goods? Hurry up! Prepare to fly on a flying boat, let's go now! You, what are you waiting for? Go together! Lao Tzu still has something to ask you. When the guy saw that the second master ordered him, how dare he say anything, and immediately followed him.
Four days later, it was still the same big formation. Another flash of inspiration flashed, and He Wen and He Wu, the disciples of the Peimen Sect, came out together. The two of them walked easily, and there was a joke between their words: "Hey, I can be regarded as getting rid of the constraints of that bad old man, and in a few more days, my brother and I will be completely piled up." "Who's to say it isn't? This old thing talks too much, but it really tortures us both a lot. If it weren't for the fact that this autumn was hard in the sect, Lao Tzu really didn't want to serve. Look, it's only been less than a month, and Lao Tzu's cloud shoes have changed two pairs. I'll go to Dongshi to make up for it later." "Walking, then?"
At this time, there were originally three outer disciples in the Great Array, one was Zu Hui, the patrol manager of the Qinggang Branch, one was Qin Botao, and the other was Xia Jian, an apprentice disciple who had just started. It stands to reason that such an idle job is not his turn at all, this time it was just Lao Qin who led him around. Pick up the land first, let this newcomer envy it, and finally arrange it to the place that no one likes to go to. When he was ready, he told him, "Brother is waiting for you in front, I'm optimistic about you!"
A few people who used to be on the shift were deliberately transferred to the periphery of the big array in the past two days as soon as they heard that a newcomer was coming. Xia Jian didn't know it, and followed Lao Qin around every day, which was when everything was fresh. Xia Jian has his thoughts, and he has been diligent everywhere in the past two days, and he believes that his diligent attitude will bring rewards. After coming here yesterday, this guy nailed this post at a glance, and he was busy with the ground, and he didn't let the two of them stretch out their hands. It's a pity that the business here is not good, and it is not easy to pretend to be sincere. Hey, the more expensive it is, the more no-people it is, the more expensive it is.
No, as soon as I sent it away, no one came. The high temperature in the afternoon steamed and made the idlers sleepy for a while. The two old men saw that he was very attentive, and he didn't break it, smiled at each other, and temporarily left the post to combine work and rest.
The leader has just left, and Lao Xia has just turned positive in casual cultivation, and he has been a little too strong, and he has been really tired in the past two days. With a relieved heart, I looked for a lean on my face, and I rested according to local conditions.
It's unlucky, it's not a coincidence, the bigger leader came, he didn't know it at all, he didn't say anything, and he was still napping.
The brothers He Wen and He Wu just wanted to go to Dongcheng to relax, and they had no intention of exploring the affairs of the sect, but this person's sleeping appearance was too devoted, which made the brothers angry when they saw it. The heart said that the two of us were busy chattering for a month, and the soles of our feet were worn through by the wind and dust, and you were a minion who was not comfortable with this, but what about the eyes?
He Wen coughed loudly, his younger brother He Wu didn't have such a good temper, seeing that this person had no reaction, according to Lao Xia's back neck stalk, it was a big neck. With a 'duang' sound, the sleeping beauty's crooked mouth and kissed the edge of the table. Don't wake up yet? Don't you scold the street when you wake up?
That's right, these two brothers were sent out to do things, and the waist cards that showed their identities were all in their arms, and Lao Xia only said that he was a guest who wanted to be transmitted. I've never seen such outrageous guests in my car, and I dare to hit a civil servant if I have two bad stones. There is only one brother on the left and right, so he must also maintain the dignity of the Peimen Sect, roll up his arms and sleeves, and have to fight with others. You don't weigh your own cultivation, and before the shape is corrected, a few big-eared scrapers will make him confused.
He Wu is a demon king of the mixed world on weekdays, and it is very common to add fists and feet to his subordinates, and when he saw that this kid still dared to support him, he suddenly became interested. The left cheek and the right cheek are called even, and the shot is like electricity, so Xia Jian can't avoid it, and he can't even parry. As soon as Lao Xia saw that he was far from being an opponent, he began to shout loudly, hoping that Lao Qin and them could come to relieve the siege. He Wen looked at it with his arms on the side, and He Wu's face became more and more playful. The two brothers said in their hearts, these two stunned people are also interesting, and they don't beg for mercy?
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally two groups of people came to the big array, and He Wu stopped. Lao Xia was already miserable, and it was good to slap his face? Naturally, there was blood from his nose and mouth, his teeth fell to the ground, and he was looking for a fart. Seeing Zu Hui and Lao Qin rushing quickly, this guy suddenly became a lot more stiff, and wanted to hold He Wu and prevent him from leaving.
The other three people in the two groups looked at this formation, first looked at Xia Jian for a good look, and then saw one person rushing forward like crazy. I didn't pay attention to the drop of an object in my arms, and just hit it straight and straight. A head hammer arched on someone's back, knocking He Wu to the ground.
The thing that landed on the ground was actually a living thing, and as soon as it landed on the ground, it showed four little short legs, and followed with a cry of joy. Look at that posture, more enthusiastic than its owner. The person who came was none other than Wu Zhi and Xiaomo, the pair of black winds.
There is a new bridge in the matter, and Lao Xia is even more reluctant to scold, as if he has something to rely on, but his voice is a little leaky. Old Wu's eyes widened with anger, his face was similar to that of a frosted eggplant, and the two sides fell into a brief but wonderful stalemate. Xiaomo was still ignored, baring his teeth with all his might, and the bristles on his body stood up, like a puffer fish in a bulging air, and he just wanted to make his body bigger first.
He Wu was blushed by this collision, turned around and wanted to fight back, but when he saw Zu Hui and Lao Qin, he temporarily changed his mind: "I said who was on duty, it turned out that you two killed talents." Look at the people you bring, it's a real mess. Big eyes, Lao Tzu asks you, what is the result of neglect of duty?"
Na Zuhui was not ambiguous, and turned his face in an instant, which was really faster than turning a book. As soon as he raised his foot, he kicked the crook of Lao Xia's knee who was still roaring, and scolded: "Something that has no eyes, don't shut up yet! Do you know who this is? Even the two chief stewards dare to offend, are you tired of it? Before the two nobles have spoken, why don't you admit your mistake?" Seeing that Xia Jian still wanted to hang his neck, he beat him to the point of bending down with a wave of his big hand. That Qin Botao also changed from the kind elders in the past, and beat the side drum happily.
Lao Wu saw that his brothers were being bullied in turn, so he clenched his fists and wanted to rush forward. Suddenly, a hand reached out behind him and grabbed him. As soon as Lao Wu didn't break free, he turned his head angrily, and saw the person behind him silently shaking his head at him.
The man wore a wide-brimmed hat with a sunshade on his head, which covered most of his face, and a woman behind him was dressed in the same way, but a thin veil hung down from the hat to completely cover his face. Since he stepped into the high platform just now, the two have supported each other, faltering, obviously not very neat.
At this moment, Xia Jian's legs were numb and kneeling on one knee, which was really a bit of a grievance of lying down and sleeping with a gun, which was much better than the flying snow in June. Things were sudden, and there was chaos in my mind, and I didn't hear the origin of the offended two people at all, but looking at Lao Qin's faces, I knew that I couldn't be good today, and I couldn't help but secretly complain. What's more, there is his own brother standing next to him, and he feels even more humiliated.
That Lao Qin also knew the stinky temper of these two stewards, and while instigating this newcomer with a fierce and inward-looking attitude, he quickly corrected his attitude and became a new person, while not forgetting to hold the two big names to the sky. Listen to what he means, not only do you have to endure it, but you also have to soothe other people's spiritual losses. Grandma's, not only to be born aggrieved, but also to live enough to be a nest.
Therefore, it is a choice to continue to be a bachelor or to give in immediately, and it is a painful choice for Lao Xia. What is this called? I sharpened my head before entering the sect, and my ass was not hot yet, as if I was about to sweep the floor out. Did anyone tell me that this is a trick to provoke someone?
He Wen on the side saw that his brothers had made enough trouble, and the collision just now didn't hurt anything, after all, it would take some time to kill an apprentice in public. What's more, hitting a seven-foot-tall man half-kneeling can be regarded as a consummation. So let Xia Jian continue to be entangled there, and said with a red face: "Okay! However, Big Eyes, as well as your Lao Qin, recruit people to look at it in the future, and don't stuff anyone into the sect. ”
Then he turned his face, pointed at Lao Wu and the three of them with his hand, and said with an arrogant smile: "It's that your brother is quite righteous, and if you have a friend like this, you should also feel at ease." It's better to let your brother change you, Lao Tzu looks at him and is quite right. Haha!"
"Brother, let's go, don't be really in a bad mood, you haven't done anything serious yet. Throwing down this sentence, He Wen stretched out his hand and pulled his younger brother who was still unsatisfied, leaving the faces of everyone in the place, and just walked away.
