Chapter 1 This is a different time

"The heart is in a trance, wandering in a foreign land is not an adult."

"The spirit is swinging, and it is not strong to be displaced from the world."

"The sky is long, and the wind and clouds are not enough."

"The land is vast, and it is uncomfortable to herd horses and hunt birds."

"The heart is the sky, the qi is the earth, and the land is boundless!"

The plausible proverb came slowly, the voice of the reciter was hoarse, echoing in this dusty official road dirt road with a sense of loneliness, and then savoring the meaning of this proverb, a sense of loneliness of the prodigal son without a return is spontaneous.

It's just that after the last proverb came out, there was an inexplicable emotion that touched the deepest part of the human heart.

However, only by understanding people can we understand the meaning of this.

On the dirt road of the official road, there is a dirty beggar with a wormhole long stick in his arms, walking on the side of the dirt road with his body bent, his unkempt and long chicken coop hair covering half of the beggar's face, and the remaining half of his face is covered with black dirt mixed with loess, oil, and sweat.

At the beggar's side was a strange old man with a tumor in his throat.

This person wears a hat on his head, and there is white hair scattered behind his head, which can be said to be clear from his black robe, but the strange thing is that this person did not lower the hat to block his face, let alone cover his face with long hair like that beggar, and cover his face with dirt, but it is okay to only look at it a few times, if he looks at it for a long time, he can't see his appearance clearly, as if there is a fog that hazy human eyes.

Those four proverbs were sung by this strange old man.

But perhaps it was the old man who recited these four proverbs all the way over and over again, and the beggar finally couldn't help but speak, but surprisingly, his voice was slightly immature and young: "Old ghost, why don't you sing a little song?" It's better than the four proverbs you've been reciting all the way, and it can still give me a strong voice! ”

The old man laughed stiffly, his voice hoarse, like an evil ghost.

The beggar only felt that his scalp was numb when he was laughed, and said helplessly: "Well, listening to you recite those four proverbs is like a ghost crying, and then let you sing a little song, maybe you really invited the evil ghost in broad daylight." ”

The old man raised his hand and gave the beggar a snap of his fingers on his forehead.

A swollen lump immediately appeared on the beggar's forehead, and the greasy, dirty hair on his forehead was pushed up.

And the old man was amazed: "With this flick of my fingers, if I judge it by the current system standards of the Spiritual Mortal, it is absolutely impossible to take over the physical body that has not reached the fourth realm." The strength of your physical body is comparable to the physical strength of the seventh realm of the Spiritual Mortal. ”

The beggar was stupid: "I know that your old cultivation is high, and you are also merciful, counting this time, you have played me three times along the way, fortunately, the time interval is long enough, otherwise you have played three times in a row, and I am afraid that my brain will burst." ”

"Boy, don't pat me on the back, aren't you afraid that I will shake out all your secrets?" The old man suddenly said coldly, and the chill in it emanated like substance.

A dead grass not far from his feet, a layer of frost covering the surface!

As soon as these words came out, the beggar suddenly shook violently, and his body shrank suddenly, and then he could hear his breathing sound obviously worsening, and a mouthful of hot air that would only be obvious in the cold winter season spurted out of his mouth: "If the seniors wanted to do this, they would not have walked with me, a little beggar, for half a year." ”

“……”

“……”

"I really don't know if you're really pure and good, or if the city government is deep enough." The beggar was silent for a long time, and the old man still said something in an unkind tone, but in his words, there was a meaning that he didn't want to care.

The beggar responded with a very inexplicable remark: "It's just a common way all the way to the end." ”

The strange old man had already raised his feet and walked a few steps as if he hadn't heard it, and then looked sideways at the little beggar standing still in place: "According to the previous bet, after arriving in Qianlun Town, I will live for three hundred days and nights, and at the three hundred and one days of rooster crow, I will leave directly." ”

The little beggar continued, "If I need your help in these three hundred days, I can leave without staying for three hundred days." ”

The old man nodded, and while turning back and continuing to walk, he said, "It's still a person who takes his promise to heart, but I don't know if I will keep it." ”

"We'll find out when the time comes."

As for this, the two of them didn't speak again, one after the other, and walked along the official road towards the town of Qianlin.

Qianlun Town, the place of this town spans a distance of thousands of miles, the population of the town is not less than one million, it is said to be a town, its span is wide, densely populated, but it is a fight with the ancient city recorded in the ancient book. At that time, the ancient city could have a land of thousands of miles and a population of one million, and it was even a big city, but now, it can only be compared with a town, which really makes people feel a little lonely in their hearts.

The land in Qianlun Town is well planned, divided into four districts, the place where the people live in the north, the place where the entertainment and commerce are in the south, the government office in the east, and the three major families in the town live in the west, and the center of the town is a circular open space, which is used for sacrifices, prisoner executions and sentences.

In the southern district of Qianlun Town, opposite the Linglong Restaurant, there is an unnamed streetside tea shop, which is set up by the Lu family, one of the three major families in the West District.

It can be seen that the Lu family does not attach much importance to this street tea shop.

The tea man in charge of this tea shop, surnamed Liu Mingzhao, worked as a doorman in the Lu family when he was seven or eight years old, and later learned tea art from the old tea man of the Lu family, and gradually learned something, and he was clever and good-talking, and he was assigned to this two years ago.

In Liu Zhao's eyes, this can be described as a great joy.

You must know that he has been without relatives since he was a child, he eats hundreds of meals and wears hundreds of clothes, if it weren't for the coincidence that he was taken in by the Lu family as a doorman, Liu Zhao estimated that he would have been reduced to the street and robbed with hungry dogs for food, maybe he would be bitten alive when he grabbed food with hungry dogs at a certain time!

Therefore, Liu Zhao has reached a pathological pride in being the Lu family tea man over the years, and even more, when Liu Zhao saw that a dirty beggar dared to sit in the Lu family tea shop, he directly ignored a white-haired old man wearing a hat who sat down with the beggar.

Then, Liu Zhao stood up from behind the tea cabinet in the house, frowned, and walked straight to the table where the beggar and the old man were seated with a little anger.

The two people at the table seemed to glance at Liu Zhao inadvertently, but their eyes fell to the Linglong Restaurant opposite.

"Legend has it that the first generation of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce started in Qianlun Town, and the word Linglong is the name of the person he loves. You say, "Shall I live here?" The old man did not take off the hat on his head, but looked at the Linglong Restaurant opposite and said to himself.

The little beggar nodded and said, "This restaurant has nothing to do with what I am going to do, and it is the only one, so you can live here with peace of mind." ”

The old man smiled slightly and asked meaningfully, "Then you, do you want to start with this tea shop?" ”

At this moment, Liu Zhao had already come to the table, heard the old man's question, and then looked at the beggar looking at him, as if he knew himself, but he believed that he definitely didn't know such a beggar.

Although he had some doubts in his heart, he only felt that there was something wrong with the old man's brain, and what he said was very inexplicable, and Liu Zhao looked at the beggar's eyes, and he was even more angry!

Therefore, Liu Zhao only hesitated slightly, then reached out and grabbed the beggar's neck, and the words with disgust and anger in his mouth came to the ears of everyone in the tea shop: "Dirty beggar! Get the hell out of here! This is not a good church! ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhao felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

In his mind, he immediately remembered that the day after he was accepted by the Lu family as a doorman, those who had bullied and scolded him came to the door to pay respects, and put on a flattering appearance to him.

It's just that this time is different!

A sudden sharp pain in his wrist, like a basin of freshly melted snow water, made Liu Zhao feel that his blood was cold!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhao found that the scenery in front of him suddenly swirled, and he quickly reacted, this was not an illusion caused by his dizziness, but the whole heaven and earth, which was really spinning!

Then, while Liu Zhao heard the sound of debris breaking, he fainted under the severe pain all over his body, and the moment he fainted, there was only one thought in his mind: [I want to tell the steward, someone dares to make trouble in the Lu family's shop. 】

"I thought you broke his wrist and grabbed him by the collar to break his neck." The old man looked at Liu Zhao, who was lying in the tea cabinet that had been smashed in the tea shop, and said with some regret in his tone.

The little beggar, who was still sitting on the bench at the table, smiled shyly, and still held the wormhole long stick in his hands, as if it was not him who had just shot: "This person is like the fuse of a firecracker, and when it ignites, there should always be the sound of gunpowder burning." Killing him is nothing more than igniting a squib compared to what I have planned. ”

"You don't have to explain it so clearly." The old man stood up and walked slowly towards the Linglong Restaurant, "I'm just here to fulfill the three-hundred-day covenant. ”

While speaking, behind the old man, several other tea men and men in the Lu family's tea shop were carrying wooden sticks and stools at this time, scolding like wolves and tigers, and rushed straight to the little beggar who was still sitting.

However, the little beggar was not even the slightest panicked and afraid, and the shy smile on his face that had not yet dissipated instantly turned into a meaningful evil smile: "My inch, this time is different from the past!" ”

Behind him, the expressions on the faces of the tea men and the guys in the tea shop suddenly froze, and their bodies were like kites with broken strings like Liu Zhao in the next moment, and they scattered and fell in all directions in a muffled sound of "bang bang", and finally fell heavily to the ground.

Look at the little beggar who claims to be square inches, he no longer sits upright on the bench, and his figure standing in place is no longer as stiff as before, and his upright posture seems to be supported by the moth-eaten stick in his arms.

Although Fang Cun's unkempt and dirty appearance made everyone immediately drive this thought out of their minds, everyone didn't know that after three hundred days, this tall figure would make the people present, no, not just them, but more people remember these four words, and they will forever be engraved in their hearts.
