Chapter 50: River City
After separating from Yu Liuniang, Li Shuang received a message from the Eye of Gaze.
Because the eye of gaze was closed in the middle, the points given this time were not much, only a thousand points.
and because of Ji Youcai's appearance, he was specially deducted one point.
It seems that the adjudicator hates Ji Youcai very much.
Li Shuang walked the mountain road for several days and finally saw the village.
Patches of farmland are scattered, crops grow neatly, the breeze blows, and the green waves are undulating.
A rhinoceros arches a canal with its horns, and the river is channeled into the field.
The Terrans have coexisted with many monsters, and they participate in all aspects of Terran's cultivation and travel.
Such a picture is harmonious and beautiful, and the living beings yearn for peace, but there is always war, which is really regrettable.
A peasant woman was busy in the field, carrying a bundle of grass on her back and preparing to go home, but she slipped and fell while going up the dirt slope, and did not get up for half a day.
Li Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to check, and a smile appeared on the peasant woman's weathered face.
"Young man, I'm fine, just take a break."
Li Shuang shook his head and said, "When you fell down just now, you were cushioned by a stone to your ribs, I have medicine for injuries, you can take some first." ”
The peasant woman hesitated and said, "Isn't this medicine very expensive!" You still use it when you're out and about, and I'll be able to endure it. ”
Li Shuang took out a bottle of potion, "It's okay, I still have a lot of them." ”
"Young man, if you are poor and rich, no matter how much medicine you have, don't have too much medicine, save it if you can!"
Li Shuang had no choice but to say: "I'm going to Jiangshui City, and there are still two or three days to go, so it's not in the way." ”
Only then was the peasant woman willing to drink the potion, and with a cup of tea, her body was already healed.
"This medicine must be precious! The eldest lady has nothing of value, you can go to the eldest mother's house for a meal! The peasant woman said.
Li Shuang smiled: "Thank you, auntie!" ”
He followed the peasant woman to the village, and the two chatted all the way.
The peasant woman's name is Lu, her husband has passed away, and she has only one son, who went to Jiangshui City to participate in the imperial examination two years ago.
For some reason, there was no news, Lu Shi was very anxious, and asked many people to look for it, but there was no news.
Lu couldn't wait, she was going to finish marrying this stubble and go to Jiangshui City to find her son.
When she arrived at Lu's house, her family was very poor, and it could be said that she was surrounded by four walls.
Lu Shi was a little embarrassed, "I heard that the things in Jiangshui City are valuable, so I sold everything I could sell at home."
But don't worry, there is no shortage of food at home, you sit down for a while, and I'll go cook. ”
Lu Shi went to the stove room to get busy, and Li Shuang came to the yard and fed the grass to the old cow.
"Who are you?"
Li Shuang said to the old cow that as soon as he entered the yard, he found that it was a bull demon.
It's not a bull demon who cultivates the land, it's a powerful bull demon, which is very abnormal.
"You'd better leave it alone, or you'll die!" A mental fluctuation came.
Li Shuang didn't speak, but stuffed a mud pill into the mouth of the bull demon, and the bull demon's eyes suddenly widened, and the clarity in his eyes disappeared and became muddy.
Li Shuang approached the stove room with a smile, and while helping Lu Shi light the fire, he inquired about his son's situation.
His son's name is Lu Qingshu, he is twenty-two years old this year, he is very weak, and he is very angry.
He is very intelligent, can see things almost memorably, and is a well-known talent.
This imperial examination was almost inevitable, but for some reason, the day before the exam, he disappeared.
Lu Shi said that his son's expression was full of worry, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.
"Does he know anyone in Jiangshui City? Wait for me to visit and see if there are any clues. ”
Lu's eyes suddenly turned red, tears fell down her eyes, she wiped her hands on her clothes, and took out a crumpled piece of paper from the depths of her clothes.
There are rows of names on it, each of them marking their relationship with Lu Qingshu, the time they met, and even the words asked by the trustee.
"Li Shuang, you have to be careful, if there is danger, you don't want to check.
Although I am a rural woman with little knowledge, I think about my son every day.
I feel like someone is controlling my son, and they must be very bad. ”
Li Shuang smiled: "I will!" ”
Seeing Li Shuang's smiling face, Lu suddenly regretted letting him participate in this matter.
I must be dizzy, what should I do if something happens to such a good young man, will his family be as sad as himself.
Lu Shi reached out and grabbed the paper, "You can't participate in this matter, it's dangerous, it's dangerous...!" ”
Li Shuang smiled and stretched out his hand to point at the void, a spear appeared, silver light flowed, and the phoenix phantom flickered around.
"I'm a monk, a very powerful monk."
Lu Shi covered her mouth with her hands, tears were like a flood bursting the embankment, and in despair, she saw the light.
The next day, Li Shuang left the village, and Lu sent him far, far away.
Li Shuang asked her to wait patiently in the village, and no matter what the result was within two months, he would find someone to inform the Lu family.
Before leaving, he left her some money and things, saying that they would be exchanged for her cattle.
The bull demon carried Li Shuang forward slowly, of course it didn't suddenly become honest.
Instead, Li Shuang pulled it to a place where no one was there and beat it severely.
The bull demon is honest, but his mouth is very hard and he refuses to say anything.
Words appeared in Li Shuang's eyes.
Task: The trialist triggers it by itself, and the Ethereal Immortal Sect will give points rewards according to the situation of the body.
Li Shuang was relieved when he thought about it, there were so many trialists, where could he find so many tasks to release on the Ethereal Immortal Sect.
Therefore, the trialist can find something to do on his own, and the Ethereal Immortal Sect will reward points depending on the situation.
There was a sudden shock under him, and Li Shuang rose into the air, and the black liquid rushed into the bull demon's body.
The black liquid corroded the bull demon cleanly, and it rushed towards Li Shuang like a snake.
The Immortal Heart Sutra operated, and a phoenix feather evolved between Li Shuang's fingers, and the feather flew out to fix the black liquid on the ground.
The black liquid struggled constantly, as if countless souls were wailing.
This should be the method of the secret master, Li Shuang doesn't understand it very well, but his exercises are immortal Heart Sutra and Dao species, just enough to restrain evil spirits.
The bubble flew in with the little girl from a distance, hid behind Li Shuang, and watched with a probe.
In the dark, there was a force peeping at Li Shuang, Li Shuang snorted coldly, and a phoenix tail appeared, brushing it towards the sky, and that power was chopped.
A black liquid that erodes the earth into a large pit and disappears.
Li Shuang fell into deep thought, the other party's power was very strong, and he actually asked a secret master with a higher realm than him to spy on a rural woman.
If it weren't for the air-to-air fight, Li Shuang might not be able to win, and this time it was indeed not simple.
He took out a suit of clothes and changed into it, his face changed to that of an ordinary scholar, and he took out another sword and put it behind his back.
Jiangshui City, its prosperity is not inferior to the capital, and after seeing all the human cities in the world, Jiangshui City can also be among the best.
Jiangshui City does not have a city wall, because it is not needed, and there is a forbidden road god soldier in the city to guard it.
The water veins of the entire river city are staggered, and if you look down at the sky, you can see that this is a large array.
The streets in the city are more than ten zhang wide, and all kinds of chariots flow endlessly on the road, and there are many people riding all kinds of rare and exotic beasts.
Everyone in Jiangshui City is very excited today, because tonight is the annual Lantern Festival.
The girls put on the most delicate makeup for themselves, and the men also came in groups of three or five, preparing a lot of entertainment.
The children were even more excited, running around the streets.
Li Shuang walked in a narrow alley, there were poor and rich everywhere, and Jiangshui City was the same.
The place where Li Shuang is located is not too poor, and in Jiangshui City, where every inch of land is valuable, even a broken house is worth a thousand gold.
The houses next to the alley are very crowded, and the first floor is full of various shops.
The shopkeepers were busy, hanging the elaborate lanterns at the door.
Everyone on the street was beaming, and Li Shuang was also smiling and walking slowly.
Lu told him that Lu Qingshu had gone to a bookstore to buy books three days before his disappearance.
It is not surprising that a scholar buys a book, but one of the books he bought is "Study Tour".
Lu Shi said that Lu Qingshu memorized "Study Tour" when he was very young.
Because of his poor family background, Lu Qingshu has always been frugal, and it is impossible to buy a book that he has memorized.
Li Shuang inquired, the shopkeeper of the bookstore was named Shen Zhen, and the bookstore was the property of the Shen family in Jiangshui City.
He didn't go directly to the bookstore, but walked into the inn opposite, went up to the second floor and ordered some wine and food.
He took out a book, which was the one called "Study Tour".
The book is about the experience of a Confucian when he was a teenager, and it is very interesting to write.
It not only describes the customs of various places, but also records a lot of anecdotes.
The Great Confucian wrote down his thoughts and thoughts at that time, and finally examined the past with his current knowledge.
Point out the inappropriate ideas and correct them.
After reading it, Li Shuang didn't find anything strange.
He drank a pot of wine, his face turned red, and asked the shopkeeper to pack the leftovers and staggered downstairs with the food box.
Turning around and entering the bookstore, the shopkeeper sat behind the desk and read.
When he saw the guest coming, he just looked up and said, "Be careful, don't break the book." ”
"Big mouth old man, how do you speak?" Li Shuang said loudly.
He lifted his chin proudly, "The guest is here, why are you still sitting there like a dead man?"
Not to mention making a pot of tea, it's always a matter of getting up and saying hello! ”
The corners of Shen Qin's mouth twitched, the old man with a big mouth, his mouth was big.
But he has lived most of his life, and no one has dared to shout in front of him.
"What tea would you like to drink?" Shen Ji asked coldly.
Li Shuang knocked on his head, "I won't drink the tea, I will lose my appetite when I look at your big mouth." ”
Shen Ji stood up, "You are here to find trouble, you are so bold that you dare to find our Shen family." ”
"The Shen family? Which Shen family? Li Shuang asked in disbelief.
Shen Jing walked towards Li Shuang, "There is only one Shen family in Jiangshui City!" ”
Li Shuang's face changed greatly, and he threw the food box at Shen Ji and turned around and ran.
Shen Ji took the food box from Shan, and the soup inside spilled his hand.
He put the food box aside, looked at Li Shuang's back and sneered: "In Jiangshui City, where can you run!" ”
