Chapter Twenty-Five: Farewell!
"Xiao Ming, do you have any plans after you go back?" Lin Yu said.
"I will inherit my family education well, and then study poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and religion well, and gain fame in the future. Nangong Ming's revenge is not small.
However, this is also related to the education of the Nangong family, the reason why the Nangong family can become one of the four major families of the current dynasty, in addition to the ancestor of Nangong who was the founding father of the Great Qian Dynasty earlier, the Nangong family of all dynasties has clansmen who are officials in the court, and even the father of the contemporary head of the family Nangong Tian was once the prime minister of the previous dynasty.
Although Nangong Tian is not an official, his younger brother, Nangong Ming's second grandfather, is also a contemporary official of the ministry, and within the six ministries, the official department is the largest.
In addition, there are also several clansmen in the Nangong family who are distributed all over the country as officials. Therefore, the young children of the Nangong family have always taken the examination of fame as their goal.
"Lin Yu, let's make an agreement, when we reach adulthood, I will go to the Nawen champion, and you will go to the Nawu champion, when the time comes, we will be able to be together in the future. Nangong Ming said seriously.
"Well, this, Xiao Ming, I haven't thought about it yet, but, since you said it, okay, let's make a decision. Lin Yu promised that even for the sake of his brother, he would work hard to practice.
Not only the Nangong family, but also the Five Elements Sword Sect actually has peripheral disciples serving in the court, after all, there are people in the court who are easy to do, and in doing so, the sect and the royal family are tied together, so this is also what the royal family is happy to see. As an apprentice of the outcast of the Golden Sword Gate, it is not a taboo for Lin Yu to go to the martial arts champion in the future.
"By the way, this book was sent by my father, and it is a practice of cultivating the soil attribute called the Thick Earth Sutra, which was originally for me to practice, but I have to go back anyway, there must be a copy of the exercises at home, Lin Yu, you practice the five elements at the same time, I believe it will help you." Nangong Ming took out a book from his arms.
"Also, this is for you by Tingfang. She said she was too embarrassed to say goodbye to you. Nangong Ming handed another purse to Lin Yu. A burst of aroma came to the face, and at first glance it was the things of my daughter's house.
"Well, it's not too early, and I'm going to go back and get ready. Then let's high-five and swear, and see you in the exam room in the future. Nangong Ming said and high-fived Lin Yu three times.
They read from each other's eyes the importance of this oath, because it is a man's promise!
"Tomorrow, you don't come to see each other off. I'm afraid that Tingfang and I will feel sad. Nangong Ming said.
"Well, Xiao Ming, we'll see you in eight years!" ......
The next day, Xue Feng, Pang Tong, and Wu San and some villagers came to the entrance of the village to see off the Nangong family who were about to leave.
In the past few years in Tumiao Village, although the Nangong family has lived in a simple place, because she often takes out some rare things to exchange things with the villagers, many people know her. And Nangong Ming, the child, is the same as Lin Yu, and he is quite loved by everyone.
At this time, Xue Feng and the others were saying goodbye to the Nangong clan and several other adults of the Nangong family. Nangong Ming also bowed goodbye to Xue Feng and Pang Tong, after all, these two old men were his enlightened teachers in culture and martial arts.
"Cousin, Lin Yu, is he really not coming?" Nan Gong Tingfang looked at the path up the mountain.
"Well, I've already told my mother and them, Lin Yu won't come to see them off. Oh, by the way, this is Lin Yutuo I sent you. Nangong Ming said, and handed over a red rope with a few stones to Nangong Tingfang.
I saw that the stones were shining, and there was a touch of sky blue in the dark green. If Pang Tong knew that he gave Lin Yu a few pieces, the core of the Ten Thousand Year Tree King that he brought out of the sect in the past to make imitations of the Zuò Five Elements Flying Knife was made into a necklace by Lin Yu and given to others, it is estimated that his beard will be crooked.
This kind of thing is hard to find in the world, originally I wanted to bring them to Lin Yu in order to increase the influence of the wood element on Lin Yu's body, but Lin Yu, who also knew this benefit, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha.
Nan Gong Tingfang looked at the shiny stones, and his eyes turned red.
"Villain Lin Yu, everyone is leaving, and you won't come to deliver it. ”
On a tree in the distance of Tumiao Village, Lin Yu stood on the treetops, looking at the convoy that was gradually moving away, from childhood to adulthood, his heart hurt for the first time.
There is no feast in the world, who will accompany whom forever?......
After Nangong Ming's family left, Lin Yu returned to his former lonely life. Looking at Lin Yu, who was listless every day, Xue Feng and Pang Tong were a little worried, for fear that Lin Yu's negative state would affect his martial arts and knowledge learning.
So, Pang Tong decided to take Lin Yu to Bianzhou City, an important southwest border town two hundred miles away from here, a few days later, because Pang Tong knew that in a few days, Bianzhou City would hold an annual spring auction, and secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to make Lin Yu's mood better.
After hearing about it, Lin Yu, who was bored, readily agreed, after all, he was just a child, and when he heard that he could go to that big city to see all kinds of new things, he was immediately interested.
Later, Pang Tong took Lin Yu and came to the outside of the border state after a three-day walk. Bianzhou City, as the administrative capital of the entire southwest region of the Great Qian Dynasty, was also the military center of the Great Qian's southwest region.
Therefore, it is also extremely prosperous, compared to the county seat that governs Tumiao Village, it is not the same.
Bianzhou City is the fief of the third son of the first emperor, that is, the third emperor brother of the current Emperor Mingxuan, and Sun Mou, the general of Zhenbian, also set up his mansion here.
It was almost noon, Pang Tong and Lin Yu were ten miles away from Bianzhou City, a small tea shed next to the official road to take a break.
Lin Yu looked up at the border city, only to feel that in his field of vision, the magnificent and huge city was lying on the plain like a giant beast.
At this time, the tea shed was also doing good business, and the hungry people wanted to fill their stomachs here and then rush to the city. And at this moment, the flow of people gathering towards the border city is also quite huge, after all, the annual Spring Festival auction is about to open.
During this period, all kinds of people from all walks of life will come here. Whether you buy or sell, I believe it will be an eye-opener.
"Shopkeeper, come to a pot of tea, and a few steamed buns. A few people dressed like gangsters walked into the tea shed, obviously not locals, and the wind and dust along the way could not hide their yearning for the Spring Festival auction.
"Fourth, you said, there will be some good treasures in this auction, I don't know if our brothers will meet them. A quack said.
"Well, this year's auction seems to be quite large, not only our merchants will come, but also the Yuan Merchants Alliance and the Lycian Kingdom in the north will also send large merchant groups. I heard that if you are lucky, you may be able to meet someone from the Da Kun Dynasty. Tsk, I've heard that Da Kun is as rich as our Da Qian, and I don't know if I can touch any good things. Another Jianghu man said.
"Yes, yes, I heard that if the price is right, maybe you can buy the exercise cheats!"
The words of the Jianghu people attracted Lin Yu's attention, after all, in addition to the sword condensing technique, he only had the Thick Earth Sutra that Nangong Ming gave him when he left.
The master said that when he had cultivated all the exercises of the Five Elements, perhaps his physical problems could be solved.
After Nangong Ming left, Lin Yu was sad but did not put down his martial arts, because he remembered the agreement with Nangong Ming. In the future, you must go to the test to choose one of the ten thousand martial champions.
Lin Yu, who was already familiar with his own condition, after countless times of practicing his strength, the situation was really the same as last time, and a trace of earth true qi really appeared in his body and entrenched in his spleen and stomach. Now that he heard that the auction might buy the cultivation exercises, he was also interested.
"Hehe, Lin Yu, when you enter the city, I will take you to find it, don't worry. When Pang Tong saw Lin Yu's appearance, he knew what he was thinking.
After resting for a while, Pang Tong took Lin Yu and walked towards the magnificent border city. The city of Bianzhou is surrounded by plains, and it is not backed by mountains like Linhe County, where Tumiao Village is located more than 200 miles away. To the north, the city can go up to the central grassland, and to the east it leads to the central hinterland of Daqian. It can be described as a fertile field for thousands of miles, a horse and a flat river.
Lin Yu looked at the fields next to the official road, in early spring, it was the time when the winter wheat was growing, and his eyes were full of green, and his mood seemed to be much better.
Pang Tong and Lin Yu passed the inspection of the city gate, and followed the bustling flow of people all the way into the city. Although Lin Yu no longer looked around like a bun when he first entered the city, the lively atmosphere still made Lin Yu dizzy.
I saw a group of tall soldiers in standard leather armor and spears on their shoulders patrolling the city, people in various costumes walking around the road, and merchants from north to south selling their goods on both sides of the road.
If the dirt road in the middle of Tumiao Village can be called a road, then the road in the city where Lin Yu is located at this moment can simply be called Tongtian Avenue.
There are four wide arterial roads for eight horses to gallop through in the city, and there are countless paths in the other alleys like spider webs. Countless shops are opening on both sides of the street, and people seem to be hoping to make their first fortune of the new year through this annual auction.
"Sir, sir, what's over there?"
"Oh, that's wine, and when we find a place to rest, Mr. will take you to dinner. ”
"Sir, sir, what is that little girl holding in her hand?"
"Oh, that's called a paper kite, if you like it, Mr. Hui will buy you one too. ”
"Sir, sir, what is this?" Lin Yu stood next to a three-story high at this time, and saw that people passing by, especially men, couldn't stop glancing in. Some girls with heavy makeup at the door were also throwing flattering eyes at the men, with spring on their faces.
"Doom...... This one...... This is a place that corrupts the minds of my generation who study, and you must not enter it, whatever the future may be. Pang Tong said with an embarrassed expression.
"Oh, I see. Lin Yu only felt a big hand holding him, and his body quickly walked with the big hand to the place that Lin Yu was curious about just now. But at this time, Lin Yu, who was led away by Pang Tong, couldn't help but look back over there.
"The gentleman said that it corrupts the minds of men, and why do the people who come and go seem to be very willing to go in? It's weird......"
