Xiayu City is the nearest small city from the wharf, much smaller than Jiuxiang County, the city lord is a short and fat man who likes to be sentimental, and his favorite thing to do every day is to sit on the city wall and watch the sunset, sighing at the fleeting beauty of this world.

Today, as usual, he was sitting on the gray-white city wall, about to improvise a poem, when he inadvertently looked down and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

He walked slowly down the city wall, and when he was about to say hello to the man, the man had already entered the city, followed by a young man with a cyan flask hanging from his waist.

Zhang Yunan was walking in front, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name, turned his head to see that a short and fat man was smirking at him, and the people along the way stopped what they were doing and looked at the three people in the middle of the road in surprise.

It was the first time they had seen the city lord smile so happily.

Zhang Yunan stopped, Zhou Tianshen suddenly remembered something, and asked softly, "He is also a seed?"

Zhang Yunan nodded with a smile and said, "Li Xiaoyu, you are still so melancholy." ”

Li Xiaoyu is the city lord of Xiayu City, and walked slowly in front of Zhang Yunan, he was only half the height of Zhang Yunan, and punched Zhang Yunan's waist, "You guy, after so many years, don't say come to see me." ”

Zhang Yunan once confided in Zhou Tianshen that when he was escorting Meng Ruhan, he was entrusted by the silver-white bearded old man to plant some seeds for Zhou Tianshen's future travels to the mainland, and waited for him to take Zhou Tianshen to water and fertilize.

But now that there are fewer restraints, Zhang Yunan is no longer so concerned about these seeds that he has been busy for half his life and makes wedding dresses for others.

Zhou Tianshen felt that it was a little interesting, when he offended someone one day and ran away, he would still have a place to hide.

Zhang Yunan's face did not change and introduced to Li Xiaoyu, "This is my friend, Zhou Tianshen, from a village. ”

Li Xiaoyu patted his head and came back to his senses, "I remember, Zhang Yun'an has mentioned you more than once, and he also showed me your portrait, you are really dignified, jade trees are in the wind, Yijun is talented, and you are a lady and a gentleman." ”

Zhou Tianshen secretly looked at Zhang Yunan, Zhang Yunan lowered his eyebrows, and asked him not to worry.

Then the three of them talked as they walked.

Li Xiaoyu asked, "Let's go, after talking so much, my mouth is thirsty, go to my house for a drink, and take you to visit Xiayu City tomorrow." ”

Zhou Tianshen looked at Zhang Yunan, Zhang Yunan excused himself and said, "I'm sorry, City Lord Li, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the appointment today, my friend is going to take the entrance exam of Huang Zhao Academy, and he can't be delayed." ”

Li Xiaoyu understood, "I said how can such a little brother have a fighting spirit, it turns out that he is also a cultivator with lofty aspirations, then I will not delay the future of my son, and I wish you to be able to build it overnight." ”

Zhou Tianshen felt that if he didn't say anything, he would be a little sorry for the hospitality of this city lord, and immediately arched his hand and said, "City Lord Li is the real dragon and phoenix among people, and he is wise and foolish." ”

Li Xiaoyu waved his hand.

The three of them walked another way, about an hour's journey.

Waiting to send this city lord away, Zhou Tianshen's mouth was dry, "This city lord can really talk." ”

Zhang Yunan sneered, "It's not that you are talking to him, you didn't see me and didn't pay much attention to him." ”

Zhou Tianshen sat down at the door of a teahouse and asked for a pot of tea, "Didn't you say that he was also a seed planted by you, I couldn't serve snacks, and I had a feud in the future, so I was embarrassed to find someone to help." ”

The tea was served, an authentic specialty of Xiayu City, and it was a sharp tea.

Zhang Yunan poured a glass for each of them and drank it slowly, "Do you know why I planted so many seeds?" The old man told me that I only need to find all twelve people and train them all to be dead soldiers who are willing to give up their lives for you, and my task will be completed. But I only had ten years at the time, and I had to escort Meng Ruhan, so I didn't have that much thought, so I thought about casting a wide net to catch fish, and found no less than 30 people, and tried all the ways to get them into a relationship with you, just like that, it took me half a year. But now that I've advanced to the Heavenly Realm, I still have a lot of time left. Therefore, I will select ten people from those thirty people, and when I send you to the Huang Zhaozi Temple, I will try my best to cultivate them. After that, I will also go to Feiyu Prefecture and Yazhou, find you one person there, and when you travel to the mainland, I will give you a list of all the people. In this way, my task can be considered truly completed. ”

Zhou Tianshen took a sip of tea and said, "This makes me embarrassed." ”

Zhang Yunan pinched the rim of the cup with his fingers and swayed from side to side, "Okay, let's not say such polite words, I also want to ask you for help." ”

Zhou Tianshen filled himself with tea, asked for a plate of pastries and melon seeds, and said, "You say." ”

Zhang Yunan said without thinking, "I heard that Huang Zhao Academy has a 'magic moment', which can bring people back to life with just a needle, of course I know that there is an exaggeration in it, but I asked the master before leaving, and he told me in a serious tone that there is indeed such a person in Huang Zhao Academy, and his medical skills are not below him." You must know that my master is a master whose eyes are higher than the sky, and it is even more difficult to make him agree with a person in terms of medical skills than to ascend to the sky. So I want to wait for you to go to Huang Zhao Academy, help me introduce me, and let me meet him. ”

Zhou Tianshen grabbed a handful of melon seeds, counted them in his hand, and asked, "You don't want to change the court, do you?"

Zhang Yunan put down the teacup and sighed, "Originally, I wanted to learn medical skills from him to see if I could cure my body." But now that I don't have these worries, I have broken up this thought, and I want to see what kind of ability the person who is eyed by my master is. ”

Zhou Tianshen nodded, "I'll do my best." After all, I am a casual cultivator with no sect and no sect, and I want to climb to the teacher of Huang Zhao Academy, which sounds a little unreliable. ”

Zhang Yunan pointed out the maze for him, "You forgot, Tianlingyu said that as long as you enter the top three in the assessment, you can go directly to the inner courtyard to study." When you become the top three, it is not easy to meet the teacher. ”

Zhou Tianshen was still a little unconfident, "Let's talk about it later, let's eat first." ”

The two drank tea, poured a stomach full of water, and then went to look for the wingboat.

According to the people there, the winged boat set off tonight, and the two came to an inn, ate some food, and bought some snacks such as melons, fruits, pastries and other snacks that could be stored for a long time.

The two stopped at a bookstore, there was a reclining chair at the door of the store, a white-faced young man was sleeping on the recliner, the young man was holding a book in his hand, next to the bookstore was a baked cake stall, the boss was a lame man, and when he saw Zhou Tianshen and the two stop in front of the bookstore, he woke up the white-faced young man. The young man didn't open his eyes, turned around, and muttered, take the things yourself, and the price will be ten taels of silver.

Zhou Tianshen walked into the bookstore, Zhang Yunan stood outside, bought four baked cakes, and bought a few tea eggs at the stall next door.

The walls of the bookstore are covered with books, and in the middle of the house there is a bookshelf covered with rune paper.

Zhou Tianshen found the gold for glue that Tianlingyu said, and since the price had been set, Zhou Tianshen took thirty pieces, and took ten tooth files and three more precious tablets, and put the silver on a table in the bookstore.

The two left the bookstore and walked to another bookstore.

Zhou Tianshen bought three more ghost novels as a pastime on the wingboat.

On the wingboat, the room where the two lived was in the middle of the first floor, and on both sides were wanderers who went to study at Huang Zhao College. Among them, there was a young man in a green shirt, which made Zhou Tianshen especially remember.

The young man dressed as a scholar, liked to recite poems, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in addition to these, drinking and fighting and talking nonsense, he was not lost to those country men, but he was such a legendary figure, but he was not a cultivator. He once explained that he had a serious illness when he was young, although he was quickly cured, but he also almost exhausted the luck of this life, not only caught up with the family road, his parents committed suicide, and even his childhood sweetheart left him, and he was disheartened and determined to return to the mountains and forests, not to ask about the world. He found an immortal sect, and when he was apprenticed, he was asserted that he would not be able to live past the age of twenty in this life, let alone embark on the path of cultivation, and he could not ask for the path of immortality. From then on, the young man changed his name to Xu Buzhen, expressed his last resistance, and learned the method of cultivating his life and cultivating his nature every day, which really allowed him to live to the age of twenty. The sect elder who told his fortune and concluded that he would not live to be twenty years old was also extremely shocked. So, he took out all his belongings and prepared to fight against God again to see if he could still seek a trace of cultivation talent, but in the end it backfired. Before that elder died, he gave him all his cultivation and family background, even if he couldn't prove immortality in this life, he could at least live to be two hundred years old, comparable to a peak cultivator in the human realm.

It's also a good thing.

The young man got up before dawn every day, and along the guest room on the first floor, he played three times according to the method of self-cultivation in the sect, and evolved the boxing method.

According to him, the sect he was studying from was itself famous for its longevity, and his nominal master and the elder who told his fortune were both in the human realm, but they both lived to be two hundred and forty years old, twenty years longer than the cultivators at the peak of the human realm.

He has survived until now, and he has all relied on this set of boxing techniques.
