Chapter 015: Emperor Statue Avenue
Running Avenue, also known as Emperor Elephant Avenue, is narrow, not wide, and can only accommodate two or three carriages in parallel, only allowing walking, and absolutely prohibiting carriages and horses.
Along the way, the fragrance of flowers is permeated, the ancient trees are shady, there are almost no storefronts and the like, people have talked and laughed on foot, especially groups of teenagers running around excitedly, and many parents with young babies toddler here.
In the summer capital city, which is extremely developed and prosperous, it is extraordinarily quiet and clean.
This avenue is undoubtedly one of the most famous avenues in the Xia Kingdom, and those main roads that can accommodate sixteen carriages at the same time are not as famous as this avenue.
It is said that when Tianwu Emperor Lin Ze was young, he often took the Thunder Emperor Lei Shuai and Valkyrie Ye Xuan, who was still a teenager, to run and frolic on this road.
Later, he ruled the world, ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, became an emperor, and after having children, he still wore cloth clothes from time to time, took the children to wander here, and played with them.
It is recorded in the book that when Emperor Wu was one hundred and twenty-eight years old, on the eve of his last expedition, he and his youngest children appeared here.
The vigorous war to protect the country began from the moment Emperor Wu stepped out of the summer capital, in the battle of the fall of the sky, he personally led the Black Flag Army and the Tianwu Army to counterattack, with incomparable momentum forced the huge Tianshu Army to retreat on all fronts, chasing and slaughtering thousands of miles, stabbing the Tianshu Emperor, several Tianshu kings, and killing the enemy and the enemy soldiers.
At the time of the victory, Emperor Tianwu had not returned to the Xia capital city, but died suddenly by the small river outside the city, leaving endless conjectures and regrets for future generations.
In order to commemorate the great Emperor Tianwu, people renamed this road as Running Avenue, and the ban on this road was established, and no one was allowed to violate it.
The children who grew up in the Xia Capital City basically learned to walk on this road, saying that they could be contaminated with a trace of spirit left by Emperor Tianwu, and Lynch, as a descendant of that person, was of course no exception.
He still remembers his father, mother, and brother Bai Lei, the lovely Lin Feng'er and Lin Huang'er, and the unforgettable memories their family left on this road.
The Qilin Academy Palace was not far from this road, and he made an appointment with Gao Bo to meet here, so that he could hand him a regular octahedral lampstone that he had secretly taken out of his home.
The so-called lamp stone, also known as the heavenly stone, is the source of light energy of the most common lighting tool in the world, the heavenly stone lamp, which is exclusively produced by the Purple Star family. Generally speaking, the more the number of lampstones, the more regular the shape, the higher the quality, the higher the corresponding value, a regular octahedral lampstone, enough to be called a treasure.
......
Lynch wore a unicorn uniform, and without the family crest of the unicorn clan on his back, people would not recognize him, and there was neither an upward gaze nor a disdainful look. As a unicorn who is not uncommon in the summer capital city, it is really a relaxing and interesting thing to mingle in the crowd.
He came out early, walked and stopped, and was in high spirits, when he suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, chickens and dogs jumping, making a mess, cursing, screaming, one after another.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way......"
I saw a tall and thin black-haired boy not far away, going against the flow of people, rampage all the way, holding a long line in his hand, and a falcon-shaped flying kite model was tied to the line.
The wooden kite flew quickly along the running avenue in mid-air at a height of seven or eight meters, making a low roar of "tuk tuk", pulling the young man to chase after him.
"This guy is really ......"
Lynch laughed dumbly, the boy was Gao Bo, and he was putting his favorite model of the flying kite! The reason why he tied a rope was because he was afraid that the wooden kite would be damaged, or that he would fly too far and not be found.
Gao Bo's violent wind also seemed to be coming, and the pedestrians on the road avoided it and accused and cursed him.
"Lynch! get out of the way...... Catch up, I guess...... This baby has to fly for a while!"
Gao Bofei also seemed to pass Lynch, and when he saw his shadow, he hurriedly said.
This guy was sweating profusely, and he was also sweating, and he didn't know how long he had been running, but he probably started from the end of the running avenue.
Before Lynch could respond, Gao Bo had already run away, so he hurriedly pulled his legs and chased after him.
This run was half an hour, and the exhausted Gao Bo, in order to avoid the two toddlers, knocked a fat and strong woman into his arms and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
He wanted to let go of the rope, but for the sake of safety, he tied the rope to his wrist, and in a hurry, where could he untie it.
The flying wooden kite was pulled and subjected to a reverse downward force, that is, it fell headlong towards the ground.
"No!"
Gao Bo's eyes were split, and he howled miserably.
"Bang!"
The wooden kite slammed into the ground, hit a solid one, and broke into pieces on the spot, with a "boom", a brilliant white light bloomed, and the strong air flow spread like a whirlwind, blowing large and small sawdust everywhere.
The wooden kite is a miniature model of the flying boat, although it is small, but it has all kinds of organs, and the energy to support the power comes from another strange stone produced by the purple people, the scenery stone. This stone is capable of releasing strong wind energy, is not very stable, and in the absence of adequate protection, in the event of a violent collision, it will definitely explode.
"My Wood Kite...... Oh my wooden kite!"
Gao Bo tugged at the chest of the fat woman under him, and howled without tears.
The fat woman's face was so angry that her face was blue, her willow eyebrows were upside down, she waved her fat big hand, and her five fingers were squeezed open, and she threw it on his face like a bear's paw.
"Ahh
With a cry of pain, Gao Bo was beaten and flew up diagonally and landed on the ground.
"Little rascal, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, dare to eat my mother's tofu?"
The fat woman stood up, scolded Gao Bo with confidence, and led the two children away.
"Wood Kite...... Wood Kite ...... My poor wooden kite!"
Gao Bo crawled on the ground, one cheek swollen high, a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, looking at the fragments of wooden kites scattered all over the ground, extremely sad.
"Senior Brother......
Lynch caught up with him easily, hooked his waist, and panted, "You, what are you doing on the ground?"
"My wooden kite, my precious wooden kite......"
He looked up, and looked at Lynch as if he had lost his soul, and his mouth was whispering, and his eyes were full of tears.
......
Ten minutes later, Lynch helped Gao Bo pick up the remaining debris and put it away, and the two sat side by side on a bench on the side of the road.
He didn't know what to say to comfort the devastated senior brother, so he just handed him the precious octahedral lampstone.
After Gao Bo got the lampstone, he was overjoyed, and sure enough, he turned from sadness to joy, and couldn't put it down to play with this magical object, and said in disbelief: "I didn't think you really brought it?"
Lynch smiled helplessly and said, "You have written the word lampstone in the palm of my hand, can I not bring it?"
"Ahem......"
Gao Bo scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said to himself: "If this stone is taken to the pawnshop, it can be exchanged for at least ten gold coins, and it can be sold for at least fifteen gold coins at the risk of taking it to the black market, which is enough for me to buy materials for more than a dozen wooden kite models!"
"You're going to sell it?"
Lynch was stunned and exclaimed, "Then what should you do with the lighting at night?"
"Is this ...... If you can get me a piece, there must be a way to get a second one, right? Gao Bo's eyes flashed with a sly light, and he was cheeky and slurred.
Rao is a good talker Lynch, after hearing this, his little face sank, and his heart really didn't feel good, and he replied very resolutely: "No, no, absolutely not! The octahedral lampstone is not an ordinary object, and I have a few pieces in my house, and I am afraid to take one piece, how can I take another piece out?"
Gao Bo didn't give up, rolled his eyes, and continued: "Since you can't get it out at home, can we also find a way elsewhere!"
"What do you mean?" asked Lynch, suspiciously.
When Gao Bo opened his mouth for the first time, he may not have thought much about it, but now this guy is actually shy and asks for a second piece, and he has determined in his heart that this guy is not a good person, and he belongs to the generation that can be good and evil.
"Have you forgotten? You also have an amazing fiancée! They are the Purple Clan who made this thing, and they took out ten or eight pieces of it, just like playing. Gao Bo pretended to be relaxed and said tentatively.
"Ten pieces and eight pieces?"
Lynch's already ugly face suddenly collapsed.
"No, no, no, that's all I have to say. ”
Gao Bo hurriedly said: "Anyway, help me get another piece, the last piece, definitely the last piece! Good brother, senior brother, please." ”
Lynch was intellectually reluctant, but he finally agreed, he didn't want to lose his only "friend".
"Let's go with me to the black market. ”
Gao Bo said excitedly, and there was no trace of sadness about the broken wooden kite on his face reflecting the sun.
As soon as he heard the name "black market", Lynch instinctively became a little timid, began to retreat, and knowingly asked, "What are you doing on the black market?"
"Of course I'm going to sell this lampstone! If I go to the pawn shop to exchange money, the shopkeeper won't say he'll hack me five or six gold coins! I don't do such a stupid thing. ”
Gao Bo said, raising his eyebrows, and said jokingly: "Aren't you afraid, right?" Don't worry, we are wearing this unicorn uniform, and no one dares to beat our idea!"
Lynch's face turned red, and he hesitated and said: "Who said I'm afraid?
Gao Bo laughed loudly, and immediately set off with him, towards the so-called black market.
