As the saying goes, July is a fire, after July, the weather is gradually getting colder, many people say that this time is the most suitable time to part, but there are more people silent, leaving alone.

Qin Zi'an couldn't care about the sadness of leaving suddenly, Da Yi didn't lie to him, the radius was really deserted, and he was grumbling with hunger.

Before leaving, Zhu Qi gave him a burden, which contained some silver and dry food prepared for him.

The silver was left by the ancestors of Youjia Village at the beginning of their settlement, and later there were no people in the village who went out, so they kept it. It's just that when Qin Zi'an ate all the jerky, he looked at Yinzi with a look of disgust, why can't this thing be eaten.

With a dry mouth, he estimated that after walking more than 200 miles, he finally saw hope, and there was a city standing not far from him, and the name of the city was Xuanniao.

"Selling Baked Cakes"

"Rock Sugar Gourd"

Qin Zi'an looked around curiously, he saw the so-called bazaar for the first time.

Just looking at it, Qin Zi'an couldn't help but be a little disappointed, this market was not as lively as he imagined, the sparse crowd was walking on the street, and there were two or three lumps of cow dung in the middle of the street.

There are not many objects bought and sold on both sides, and one or two merchants who are carrying things to sell are all weak.

On the far left of the bazaar are two wine shops, but it seems that there are few people, Qin Zi'an picked a family with a large number of people, found a seat and sat down.

"What do you think of this guest officer?"

Qin Zi'an looked at the menu hanging on the wall and smacked his tongue, looking so expensive, glanced at the table next to him, and said casually: "A jar of wine, a plate of peanuts, and half a catty of dog meat." ”

"Well, guest officer, wait a minute."

Picking up the wine and tasting it, Qin Zi'an couldn't help frowning, this is obviously water, where did the wine come from, but the dog meat is quite sufficient, and while he was eating, he heard the people next to him talking about Xuanniao City, he turned sideways slightly, pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

A man in a brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, kept shaking there, and said to the woman next to him with a mysterious face: "Girl, do you know, why is this city called Xuanniao City?"

"I don't know"

"Coincidentally, I don't know, girl, why do you say that the two of you are very fateful."

"Roll"

The woman squeezed out two words from between her teeth, she had a melon seed face, her eyebrows were very slender, her hair hung down her waist, the whole person looked like a white fox, and her slender body sat straight in front of the table.

Seeing that the eyes of the people in the wine shop were floating around on her unscrupulously, she raised her left hand slightly, and then put it down again, frowning tightly and not speaking.

"You're from outside, Xuanniao City doesn't even know." A long-haired man next to him stood up, put one foot on the stool, laughed at the man in brocade, and asked loudly. As he spoke, his eyes stole a glance at the woman.

"My Xuanniao City has a great reputation, the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, and it will be ginger." The big man proudly said to everyone.

After speaking, he didn't forget to touch his bright head melon seeds.

"The guest officer is a bird of destiny, and he descends to give birth to business." Xiao Er of the wine shop kindly reminded on the side.

"It doesn't matter if he's a ginger or a businessman, that's what it means anyway." The big man shouted.

Qin Zi'an couldn't help but glance at Dahan, the main thing was that his head was really bright.

"This girl, you've come to our Xuanniao City, it's the right place, there is no better place to go than this within a radius of hundreds of miles."

"Ahem, King Man will be unhappy." Such a sentence came from the door, interrupting the big man's boasting, and following the voice, it was a middle-aged man dressed as a Confucian scholar.

"Yes, yes, yes, and Weicheng."

"But although Wei City is good, it is not as long as our Xuanniao City, and it is said that our Xuanniao City is related to the gods."

"Celestial?" The woman couldn't help but ask, and the man in brocade also looked at the big man with a surprised face, and shook the folding fan in his hand, and Qin Zi was churning in peace of mind, your fan shook and shaken, and people who didn't know thought it was the height of summer.

Seeing that the woman seemed to be interested in the gods, the long-haired man straightened his chest, looked at the woman with a smile on his face, and said:

Legend has it that Jian Di, the daughter of the king of Di, was playing in the suburbs, and the gods saw that they had pity on her, and let her swallow the eggs of the birds, and finally became pregnant and gave birth to the gods of the gods, and later the gods signed to establish a great business. The king of Shang built the Xuanniao City because of his nostalgia for the Xuanniao. ”

Speaking of this, Dahan looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Look, I saw the divine bird at the gate of the city, the legend says that the divine bird is still alive, maybe it will fly up one day." ”

Everyone turned around, and there was a bird-like sculpture on the city wall.

It's just that the more Qin Zi'an looked, the more the sculpture looked like a swallow, and he suddenly remembered a "Xuanniao" in the Book of Poetry, and when he thought about it carefully, it was almost the same as what the Han said, except for the gods!

"What exactly does this place have to do with the Earth?" Qin Zi'an was full of doubts, but no one answered for him.

Qin Zi'an was just eating, and the woman stood up with a frown, a narrow scimitar in her hand, looking thoughtfully at the wall.

The man in brocade saw the woman stand up, folded the fan, and was just about to get up, when a scimitar was already in front of his neck, and the man folded the fan lightly and chuckled:

"Why should the girl be rude, Xiaoshengwang sprinkles, known as the jade-faced Xiaolangjun, is also well-known in this area, just want to ask the girl for a glass of wine."

The woman did not answer, and with a twist of her wrist, the scimitar went towards the man's shoulder, and Wang sprinkled the fan still folded the fan, and then took a bowl of wine from the table and drank it.

Seeing that this disciple was still putting on a show there, the woman's scimitar continued to slash downward.

Wang Sasa was resisting with a folding fan, and suddenly squatted down, everyone looked, only to find that the woman actually used the famous anti-wolf technique - flirting with yin legs, seeing the so-called jade-faced Xiaolangjun like this, Qin Zi'an immediately felt that his legs were cold and swishing, and he unconsciously clamped his legs.

The woman smiled and walked out.

The long-haired man looked at this scene, grew his mouth, looked at the man in brocade with sympathy, and said: "The woman is worthy of being a woman, and her moves are so different." ”

Wang Sasa's face turned slightly red, and when he watched the woman walk out, he was not angry at all, his eyes rolled wildly and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Zi'an didn't care about the side anymore, and drank it to himself.

He was a little confused at this time, where should he go? What is the significance of him here? How can he go back? What is the answer to the old master's words? For a while, Qin Zi'an actually felt a little drunk.

Staggered, took out the money for the drink and walked out.

The blue sky, which had just been clear, turned into dark clouds in an instant, rumbling thunder rang out, and the heavy rain fell, and the few people in the market disappeared in an instant.

Qin Zi'an stood on the street and looked around blankly, although the world is big, there is no place for him, the world is big, but he has no relatives! He held his head and crouched in the heavy rain.

"Big brother, don't be sad, this is for you, my mother said, when you are sad, you will eat a piece of candy, and you will not be sad if you are sweet." An umbrella was placed on Qin Zi'an's head. He looked up and saw a little boy standing in front of him.

The little boy held an umbrella in one hand, and the other reached out, holding a candy in his hand and handing it to him, his squeaky socket as if he was holding something. The little boy's hands didn't have much energy, and the umbrella kept shaking in the wind.

Qin Zi'an squatted up straight, picked up the candy and pinched it in the palm of his hand, touched the little boy's head and said, "Thank you"

"Big brother is sad, my mother said that you will catch a cold in the rain."

"Big brother is homesick, why are you alone in the rain, little friend?"

The little boy said in a low voice: "My mother is sick, I'll go and get medicine for my mother, where do you live, big brother, I'll send you over, and I'll go back to make medicine for my mother in a while." ”

"No need, big brother will send you back first, you hurry back and boil medicine for your mother."

"Uh-huh, good"

Qin Zi'an picked up the little boy and walked towards his house.

"Shopkeeper, is there a place to sell weapons here?" Qin Zi'an stood in front of the counter and asked.

"Guest, you just get out of this street and turn left, the things in the store are not bad, but they are more expensive."

Qin Zi'an walked out after hearing this.

After sending off the little boy last night, he found an inn to stay, although he didn't know what he was going to do in the future, the road ahead was dark, but as the saying goes: "People can't be suffocated by urine" He thought about looking around.

When I was a child, I longed for fresh clothes and angry horses to go to the end of the world with swords, but now that I have the opportunity, how can I miss it lightly.

"Guest officer, please inside, we have all kinds of knives, guns, swords, and armor, if you are not satisfied, you can also order it for you to make." Xiao Er stood at the door of the store and greeted.

Qin Zi'an walked in, not to mention that there are really a lot of weapons in this store, and all kinds of weapons are placed everywhere. Most of the weapons are made of bronze, and the cold light is shining. It's just that when Qin Zi'an looked at the marked price, he instantly cried and lost his face, and the money in his whole body was only enough to buy an ordinary weapon.

Qin Zi'an picked around, and was suddenly attracted by a wooden sword lying quietly in the corner, and couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

For some reason, this sword inexplicably attracted him.

Qin Zi'an shouted: "Xiao Er, what is the origin of this sword?" ”

Xiao Er pouted: "Guest officer, you said this, this wooden sword was brought to our store by the little beggar in the north of the city, but a few years ago, he didn't know how, and suddenly disappeared, this wooden sword has been placed here for a long time, and he forgot to lose it." ”

Seeing that Qin Zi'an seemed to be interested in this wooden sword, Xiao Er hurriedly changed his words: "Guest officer, if you like it, you can take it away, this wooden sword is unique, it is said that the little beggar picked it up from the evil capital." ”

"Evil Capital?"

"Guest officer, this little one is not very clear, the legend is that it is a place where people who were driven away by the gods lived."

"One or two pieces of silver, I'll take it if I can"

"Row"

Walking out of the store, Qin Zi'an regretted it a little, the wooden sword in his hand was lightly cut from unknown materials, and he bought it in a daze, the only thing that made him feel a little comforted was that this wooden sword seemed to be very sharp, and his fingers were scratched just by rubbing it lightly.

After Qin Zi settled a suit of clothes, he planned to buy a horse, but when he arrived at the horse market, he turned around and left without saying a word, and he couldn't buy a donkey with his little money!

"Big brother, do you want to buy some good pastries?"

A weak voice sounded in Qin Zi'an's ears, and he turned his head to look, a seven or eight-year-old girl looked at him with a wooden basket in both hands, and the basket contained several large and small pastries.

"Give me a pound" Qin Zi'an said after a little thought, he planned to return the umbrella to the little boy, but he didn't know what to buy.

"Your pastry, six pennies."

"Give"

Qin Zi'an took the umbrella and walked towards the little boy's house, and from a distance, he saw that the street over there was full of people, pointing and talking about something, and he squeezed in.

With a "bang", the pastry in Qin Zi'an's hand fell to the ground, and he saw two corpses, one large and one small, on the street, and the officials were cleaning up something, and the small corpse was clearly the little boy from yesterday!

"This lady is really hard, the man doesn't know where he went when he was young, and it was hard for a person to pull the child up, and this happened."

"Who said it wasn't, I heard that it was the eldest young master over there in Weicheng."

"I've heard about it too, it seems to be called Luan or something."

"It's Luan Hong, the eldest young master of Luan Mansion"

"Alas, those nobles, even the government doesn't dare to take care of it."

"Scattered, scattered, dispersed." The officials began to drive the crowd away.

Qin Zi'an followed the crowd and walked out, his hand trembled slightly, and he was holding a candy in his palm, the little boy said that it was very sweet, and he was not willing to eat it.

With a crescent moon above his head, Qin Zi'an walked out of the city gate, with a wooden sword in his hand, which seemed to glow red.
