Chapter 1 The Storm and Clouds Gather in Jiangdu
During this time, Liu Chen returned to the Shizi Mansion and had an unknown conversation with His Royal Highness the Shizi, I don't know what to talk about?
It's just that after that, His Royal Highness the Prince left the house in a hurry and entered the palace to meet the current King Jiang.
After Liu Chen left His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he took Su Wan'er out of the house again alone and began to wander the streets.
If today's turmoil is surging, it is no longer a peaceful and prosperous era!
"Can this boy stay?"
Liu Chen was walking on the street, chatting and laughing with Su Wan'er leisurely shopping, but suddenly a person came out of the fortune-telling vendor on the side of the street.
Liu Chen looked curiously at the old Taoist who suddenly appeared in front of him, his face was haggard and his clothes were ragged, and when he approached, the rotten aura instantly rushed to his face, looking at his Taoist robe with patches and patches, holes and holes, it was really unbearable to the extreme!
"Old Daoist, what's the matter with you?" Liu Chen quietly took Su Wan'er's slender jade hand, and looked at the old Taoist in a broken and ragged robe, and asked.
As far as he is concerned, he has never believed in any sect, but only the old monk whom he sincerely admires makes him sincerely in awe of Buddhism! He does not think that this old Taoist priest has anything to admire him, so naturally he will not have respect.
The old Taoist priest just smiled faintly, and didn't care about his recklessness, but the words of the older ones didn't come out after all.
"Poor Dao is just a wandering world, even fortune telling for a living, the identity of the son is indeed noble, I want to beg for some broken silver in life, so I can tell fortunes for the son, predict some common things, can you wish?" The old Taoist tore off the Taoist robe that was unbearable, straightened the placket, bent his waist pole, and said with a smile.
"Old Dao, I have some trivial silver taels here, and I think there are also two or three taels, give it to you, don't pester us!" Liu Chen also felt pitiful when he saw that he was an old Taoist priest who had been reduced to this year, but he was not a kind-hearted person.
The old Taoist was stunned, and immediately smiled, glanced at Su Wan'er, glanced at Liu Chen, and said happily: "In this case, I will also send you two a piece of advice!"
"Oh?" Liu Chen said curiously, "I want to hear it, please speak?"
The old Taoist priest weighed the trivial silver taels in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and looked up at Liu Chen with vicissitudes of life. However, this move fell in Liu Chen's eyes, which only made him more convinced that the person in his eyes was a charlatan!
The old Taoist priest glanced at Liu Chen deeply, shook his head in disappointment, and said regretfully: "There are common things in this world, and there are also sorrows and joys, you two must remember: where love goes, ten thousand blades are unbreakable, and together you can also break Jin'er! Otherwise, everything will be over!"
Su Wan'er looked at the old Taoist disappreciably, but she didn't know that Liu Chen had changed color, her eyes were deep and sharp and sharp, staring at the old Taoist.
The old Taoist turned around and walked towards his vendor, waved goodbye, and said inexplicably on the street: "Now, the troubled times have just begun, the world will be chaotic, the disputes of the Seven Kingdoms are intensifying, the border is in chaos, and the 'Ming' disaster in the valley is rising again, this is a world full of dangers. Where there are people, there are dangers and goodness, and fate is intertwined and woven together. It's a troubled time!"
left a back full of vicissitudes and regrets, and it became longer and longer in Liu Chen's heart. However, he still didn't bother after all, and intercepted the departure of the old Taoist.
Liu Chen took Su Wan'er's hand, and the two walked side by side on the street, but he seemed out of state, wandering in the sky.
He has understood that now the border is turbulent and the troubled times have begun, but now is also an era of opportunity, where luck and crisis coexist.
The Dragon Martial Arts Conference was held, and the major forces in the world have emerged, and now the inns in the entire Jiang Kingdom capital are overcrowded, and the martial arts masters are coming, and the masters of the innate realm can be seen everywhere, and the grandmaster is not so rare.
"Childe, don't worry, I believe in Childe's promise!" Su Wan'er seemed to understand the old Taoist's words, shook Liu Chen's hand and held her hand, and when Liu Chen looked up at her, she showed a shallow and charming smile and comforted.
Liu Chen's heart warmed, and he nodded happily at him, indicating that he didn't have to worry.
Liu Chen's eyes were like a bright moon, he looked at the sky in a trance, and asked her: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Dragon Martial Arts Conference, I originally intended to participate, what do you think?"
After Su Wan'er pondered for a moment, she grinned and raised her head to show a sweet smile at him, and nodded: "Childe, your decision, whether it is right or wrong, Wan'er will support you unconditionally behind your back!"
Having walked to the uninhabited alley, Liu Chen smiled happily, his heart was full of warmth, and indescribable sweet happiness shrouded his heart.
"Thank you, dear little flower cat!" Liu Chen stopped, kissed her forehead between her eyebrows affectionately, and then said with a smile: "There is no life-and-death battle in the Dragon Martial Conference, I will participate, you can go too!"
Su Wan'er leaned in front of him, looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, smiled sweetly, and nodded: "Hmm!"
Why didn't she know what Childe meant?
He has the internal strength of the innate realm, but he has no strength, this time he let himself test himself, and her smile is beautiful!
"Let's go...... I'll take you somewhere. Liu Chen suddenly smiled sweetly, as if he had thought of something, and said with some excitement.
After that, he led Su Wan'er to trot towards a mountain forest outside the city, guarding the entire royal city along the way.
"Childe...... Where are you going?" Su Wan'er asked while wheezing as she trotted with her white skirt, her breath was a little disturbed.
"The place of the competition of the Dragon Martial Arts Conference is located in the mountains and forests outside the city. Liu Chen replied to her softly.
"Have you seen it, feel it!" Soon before coming to a mountain forest, Liu Chen asked Su Wan'er, who was tired and a little dazed beside him.
Su Wan'er calmed down for a while, and then looked at the mountains and forests that Liu Chen said, she felt it with her heart and observed it carefully with her eyes.
Looking at the mountain forest that was far away, faintly faint, she could sense that there was a mysterious fluctuation there, spreading out, as if there was one after another condensed out of the talisman seal, imprinted into the mountain, making this mountain forest particularly mysterious, and a breath invisibly diffused in all directions.
"Take a closer look!" Liu Chen's doting little eyes looked at Su Wan'er in front of him, smiled sweetly, stepped forward and gently hugged him into his arms and hugged him quietly, just like this, quietly looking at the mountains and forests opposite, as if there was a looming ring in the eye.
Su Wan'er gently leaned her head on Liu Chen's chest, pointed to the mountains and forests opposite, and asked, "Childe, why is there a feeling of fog?"
"That's the mystery of the formation there, and the talisman plays a role. The entire battlefield is recovering, so it exudes a formidable aura, after all, this place will endure a terrible duel battle. It is rumored that every ten years, the Jiang Kingdom will hold a Dragon Martial Arts Conference, and the winner will get the opportunity to enter the Tianwu Pavilion of the Dragon Clan, one of the eight clans of the Zhenshi Dynasty, to cultivate for one year, which will make countless martial arts people rush to it. Although it is a troubled era now, it is a golden era, and countless masters of martial arts will come to Jiang Guo to participate in the duel of the Dragon Martial Conference, and everyone is the pride of the sky. Liu Chen said with great interest for Su Wan'er, it seemed that he was also yearning, revealing a yearning look.
"Really, doesn't that mean that you will soon be able to meet many geniuses?" Su Wan'er whispered, also full of anticipation.
Although she is now a master of the innate realm, she is not a master of martial arts after all, and she is not a master, and her eyes are missing some brilliance, but now she has a deeper and excited expression.
At the end of the gray sky, there were many points of light in the mountains and forests, looking at the beautiful peaks, Liu Chen knew that the Longwu Conference would be lively.
"Two little guys, which of you are also here to participate in the Dragon Martial Arts Conference?" I don't know when, a tall but gray-haired old man appeared next to him, and he asked the two with a light smile but full of regret.
Liu Chen glanced at the old man, and knew that he was not a weak martial artist, looking at his expression and attitude, it seemed that he had also participated in the Dragon Martial Arts Conference, but it didn't seem to have achieved good results, he should be a failed senior master!
"Liu Chen, Liu Chen, I've seen my predecessors!" Su Wan'er left Liu Chen's embrace, and Liu Chen respectfully bowed.
"It turned out to be his descendant!" the old man said in a low voice, a little lost in his emotional expression.
Liu Chen was in a trance but didn't say much, the path of cultivation is very difficult, naturally it is a personal path, and those who can say such things must be extraordinary. But Liu Chen knew that he should not be talking about Liu Changjun, after all, except for the four poles, it seems that no one can live for more than three hundred years, this should be the generation after Liu Changjun!
He has already seen that the old man's physique is very strong, and he can be called a world-shattering master among the grandmasters, but it is difficult to attract the aura of heaven and earth into the body, so as to achieve the continuation of vitality, and he cannot embark on a further path.
"In life, don't care too much about a lot of things, not to mention that you have already had enough life, your predecessors still try to make your mood peaceful and satisfied, and always stay worry-free!"
Liu Chen had to be so comforted, after all, there were too few holy medicines in this world that could continue life force, and they were almost monopolized by the eight great clans of the town. And who wants to give something so important!
"People are born to die, but who is willing to die to die?!" the old man nodded with a light smile and said leisurely. After that, he didn't say anything more, but he really longed in his heart, wanting to continue the lost vitality and live for another hundred years!
How could Liu Chen not understand his mood, but he didn't say more, and led Su Wan'er towards the direction of the city, unexpectedly at this time, his heart was surprisingly peaceful.
The old man was very silent, walking in the woods and fields, breathing in the clear air of the mountains and fields at night, walking alone, often falling into thought.
However, no matter how hard he tried, his state was always difficult to change, and he could not plunder the aura of heaven and earth to make up for the vitality that had gradually been lost. However, he is indeed an amazing outsider, walking the world at an astonishing speed, thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye.
Drifting in the cold world for many years. He already has a state of mind without waves, and he can only insist on spitting every day, day after day, year after year, after all, he can't withstand the erosion of the years!
