Volume 1 Autumn Festival Chapter 22 Half a Day's Leisure
The night was dark.
There was a gray haze.
In the sky above Huncheng, a huge black shadow faintly appeared.
When the morning sun rose, the dark shadow of the night fell and quietly disappeared into the city.
Jiang Wang got up very early today.
It's because Zhao Yan is crying wolf howl.
"Why?!" Zhao Yan broke into Jiang Wang's courtyard, his face full of grief, "Obviously, the previous things were implemented quickly, why did I sleep for a while, there are no beautiful wives and concubines around me, and there is no family wealth, everything is still the same!" ”
Jiang Wang looked at Zhao Yan who was wailing in front of the door with sleepy eyes, and said: "Be a man, it's better to be pragmatic, don't always daydream, whimsical, without that fate, I will honestly paint your paintings, I don't have a wife and a beautiful concubine, what do you want?" ”
The door of the next room was opened, and the little fish walked out.
Zhao Yan was grief-stricken, thinking that he used to be duplicitous, always shouting that he only painted, but God took it seriously?
Even if you don't have a beautiful wife and concubine, what about the wealth?
What about leaving a name in history?
What about my status as a great painter?
Jiang Wang originally thought that he could sleep until he woke up naturally, but now he was made sleepy by Zhao Yan, so he took Xiaoyu and went out of the Hou Mansion, where he couldn't go anywhere, but Qixia Street could be walked casually, although there was nothing to visit here.
Old Xutou's tailor's shop opened early.
It is at the intersection of Qixia Street and Pingqi Street, but the shop still belongs to Qixia Street.
There was only one guy in the tailor's shop, and it was said that the old man had left the city for something and would have to wait several days to return.
Jiang Wang sat at the door of the tailor's shop, bored looking at the pedestrians on the opposite side of the street.
Xiao Yu looked at Jiang Wang, and then at the long sword in his hand, thinking that he would delay his sword practice today.
Truly stepping into the path of martial arts, there is a Qi that has been circulating in her limbs for a long time, so that every time she swings her sword, she carries the thunder sound of the tiger and leopard, but she has never been able to find a way to make the Qi stay and then temper her body.
She had consulted Shan Saitama.
Shan Saitama was quite shocked by this.
Because the second realm of martial arts can only initially perceive the existence of Qi, and then make Qi attach to the surface of the skin, and can directly let Qi flow around the limbs, which is something that only martial artists in the third realm can do.
He felt that Xiao Yu was not only a martial arts wizard, but also a demon.
At the beginning of the realm, he was able to slash out a power comparable to the third realm, and when he entered the second realm, but he had already crossed the stage where the martial arts of the third realm could cultivate, how far should his true combat power be?
Shan Saiyu didn't have the idea of fighting with Xiaoyu, he was worried that if he couldn't fight, he would have no face to see people, but he just taught Xiaoyu how to tow Qi.
But the strange thing is that although the little fish did every step correctly, there was indeed Qi being pulled, but it could not attach to the surface of the skin.
She guessed that it might be that the air flow poured in by Childe was extraordinary, excluding the Qi of heaven and earth.
So she focused on pulling the qi given by Gongzi, although Xiaoyu was standing beside Jiang Wang at the moment, but she was already out of the way, and her ears didn't hear anything around her.
Jiang Wang stretched his waist and moved his stiff body briefly, compared to the quiet Qixia Street, the street was too lively.
The guy from the tailor's shop handed Jiang Wang a cup of tea and said, "It's the City God Festival in two days, and I don't know if the shopkeeper can come back in time." ”
Jiang Wang was slightly stunned.
The city god is the biggest evidence of the rumors of immortals in the world.
Compared to the ethereal immortals, the records of the city god are the most detailed.
It is said that 600 years ago, when the monsters first came to the world, because of the protection of the city god, ordinary people did not suffer a great disaster, and it was a war that only belonged to the monsters and the monks.
The earliest was the edict issued by Emperor Gaozu of Sui, and every autumn, a City God Festival will be held, which is the grandest temple fair in Sui and will last for ten days.
The city god temples in all states will be unprecedentedly grand and worshipped in the whole Sui Dynasty.
But in the second battle, the city god never showed up, and there were even no immortals in the world, because it was only a hundred years ago, compared with the few records of the first battle, in this battle, it can be said that there were no lives.
During this period, there were also domestic troubles, the fall of the ancestors of the monks led to a lot of information gaps in the old days, all kinds of ancient books were destroyed, although there is only the legend of the city god to save the world, but the temple fair has also become a practice.
The City God Temple in Huncheng was built outside the city, and Jiang Wang didn't know the specific reason.
In previous years, due to illness, he had never experienced the festival, and this time it was obviously difficult to participate.
Looking at the busy people on Pingyan Street, Jiang Wang noticed that a little girl was standing in front of the bun shop, her head just above the four layers of bamboo and wood cage drawers placed on the stool.
Judging from the height alone, it looks like a golden hairpin.
The little girl tiptoed slightly, picked up two buns, stuffed them straight into her mouth, and smiled like a crescent moon in her eyes.
The owner of the bun shop smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Sanwen." ”
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then began to look for money on herself, and pulled out a big sickle and slapped it in front of the boss, so frightened that the boss's face turned pale.
I thought I had met someone who didn't give money for eating steamed buns, but I didn't expect that soon the little girl handed over three taels of silver, didn't pay attention to the boss at all, and feasted on the buns in the cage drawer.
It didn't take much time for the buns in the four-layer cage drawer to be eaten clean.
She held a scythe in one hand and the only two buns left in the other, greeted the boss vaguely in her mouth, and ran away with a smile.
Jiang Wang looked at the picture in amazement.
The sickle in the little girl's hand was not the kind used in farming, because it was bigger and sharper to look at, what surprised Jiang Wang even more was where she pulled it from?
Thinking that Miss Shu also threw out a spear out of thin air, could it be the monk's magical power?
Is the little girl in front of you also a monk?
He was stunned to see that the little girl had just eaten four drawers of steamed buns, and then turned her head and ran into the restaurant, and after a while, she came out with chicken legs, and went to the pastry shop again.
It's really delicious.
Jiang Wang secretly sighed.
As if he had discovered something extremely interesting, he sat at the door of the tailor's shop, staring at the little girl with great interest.
But the little girl soon noticed the abnormality.
She stood in front of the door of the pastry shop, holding several pastry boxes in her hands, her cheeks bulging, and her face was covered with pastry crumbs, and she looked at Jiang Wang with a very wary gaze.
The little girl was not captured by Jiang Wang's good-looking face, but she was slightly stunned, then put on a fierce appearance, hid the pastry box behind her quite protectively, and ran out of Pingyan Street very eagerly.
The corners of Jiang Wang's mouth subconsciously hooked up a smile.
Looking at the bustle of Pingyan Street again, he felt quite bored, he called Xiaoyu, said hello to the tailor shop, and went back to the Hou Mansion.
Unexpectedly, he saw Tao Tianshi in front of the Hou Mansion.
Xu had been waiting for a long time, and when Tao Tianshi saw Jiang Wang, he hurriedly dragged him aside.
"Something strange happened last night."
Tao Tianshi lowered his voice and said: "The dragon in the bronze mirror was originally very quiet, no matter what I did, it didn't react, but just after the hour, the dragon seemed to be frightened by something, and the bronze mirror directly cracked, and I found an old artifact for it to store temporarily, but it was still very scared, and it didn't return to normal until dawn." ”
Jiang Wanghu said suspiciously: "Didn't you do something strange, right?" ”
Tao Tianshi said in shame: "How can the little marquis look at me like this? I'm hiding demons, but it's a serious matter! ”
Well, the gold house and the gold house are just a mistake.
"I suspect that there is a big demon in Huncheng, or a great monk is coming, the dragon is already of low level, and it is very weak, and it is normal to be scared."
Tao Tianshi continued to whisper: "But I heard that there was a monster arrogant in Huncheng Pingyan Street, and I have never seen a monster frightened like this, which shows that the big demon or the great monk last night was not ordinarily terrifying." ”
Jiang Wang's expression was solemn.
The youkai Ayin was killed by me, I won't say it.
But at that time, Ao Yin's words before he died resurfaced in his mind, could it be that some big demon really came to Huncheng?
"I'll look into it."
Jiang Wang's heart was expectant, but also a little apprehensive.
What could a demon that is more powerful than the monster Aurean?
He didn't think about the so-called great monk at all, the demon knew better how terrible the demon was, and only the powerful demon would scare the weak demon.
Bidding farewell to Tao Tianshi, Jiang Wang returned to the Hou Mansion, and Xiaoyu went to practice swordsmanship by himself.
He continued to spread out on a wicker chair.
The exotic flowers and plants planted in the yard have signs of yellowing, and it stands to reason that at this time, these flowers and plants have long been defeated, but because the flowers and plants are taken care of by the old housekeeper, I don't know what method is used.
He noticed a bird falling from the banyan tree next to the wall.
After a few glances, it looked like a crow, but it was much better looking than a crow, thinking about what kind of species he had never seen, he didn't get up to drive it away, thinking about how to find the demons that might appear in Huncheng.
If there was the power of the 'mirage', he could easily sense it, but now he was blind, and he couldn't even feel the Qi between heaven and earth.
Strong is really strong, but waste is also really waste.
Thinking that Tao Tianshi can capture the dragons, is there a way to find demons?
But Chu Cai Tao Tianshi didn't mention this matter, so there should be nothing he can do.
In fact, Tao Tianshi thought that the little marquis was so powerful, he didn't need him, so why bother, because of the matter of the dragon, he had already decided to stay at home and not go out, how could he help find monsters?
But Jiang Wang thought about it seriously, but it was not for nothing.
He thought of Miss Shu.
A true monk has the ability to find the breath of a monster.
Without the slightest hesitation, he handed over the task of finding Miss Shu to Zhao Yan.
Although Zhao Yan was very reluctant.
Standing at the intersection of Qixia Street, Zhao Yan sighed: "I really only have this kind of life." ”
He began to inquire about Miss Shu's whereabouts in Huncheng.
It wasn't until dusk that I found someone in the 'Half Day' inn.
He sat down directly and said listlessly: "My son-in-law is looking for a girl to discuss something, and please come into the house to talk about it." ”
Miss Shu's first reaction was to be very vigilant, although she was suspicious that Jiang Wang was a monster, but it was dark, but she wanted to invite her into the house, what did she want?!
