At the beginning of heaven and earth, it was originally a thing, fortunately the breath of chaos turned into a sharp axe to divide it into two, the clear one rose high and turned into the sky, got the stars, the sun and the moon, and could perform the law of day and night change, and the turbidity settled down and turned into the earth, and the mountains and rivers and plants and trees could control the changes of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The distance between heaven and earth can be 33,000 zhang, wind, frost, rain and snow or poetic paintings, adding a touch of color to this monotonous world, and then after tens of millions of years, people, beasts and spirits have become mortals in this world.

Legend has it that in this life, in the primeval period, there was a sea called the Sea of Eternal Hope, as the name suggests, it is the sea that can never be seen, there is no land in the vast and endless sea, but there are huge icebergs floating in the extremely cold land of eternal night, which is the only land in this world. But because there is not much sunlight here all year round, so that there is little life here to survive, at that time in the sea I don't know when cause and effect, actually gave birth to four dome fish, and I don't know how long, in that so-called ancient era, this dome fish grew bigger and bigger, so big that it could no longer swim in the sea, and because it could not swim and could not breathe and eat, and finally became a pile of corpses, and this corpse has been cut by wind and rain, and it has become the land we are familiar with today.

The land in the west is called the Western Continent, and it is composed of Qianlai Continent, Tianfu Continent, and Tianwei Continent.

The land on the northern side is called the Northern Continent, and it is composed of the Lonely Continent and the Moluo Continent.

The land on the southern side is called the Southern Continent, where there is only Hadescha.

The land in the east is called the Eastern Continent, and it is composed of Cangjizhou, Xingmangzhou, and Qiyue Continent.

The four continents float on the Sea of Eternal Hope, and the nearest distance between the four continents is thousands of miles. And it is blocked by the sea, which is always in danger of unforeseen, which makes communication between continents very difficult. Especially the orphan continent like the Southern Continent, which is separated by the other three continents, can be called thousands of miles away......

In addition, the continent formed by these four dome fish also has an elegant name called "Jiuhua Divine Continent", which can also be called "Jiuzhu", and the origin of this name corresponds to the nine continents on the four continents.

And the main story line of our book will start from the Cangluo Kingdom of Cangji Continent in the Eastern Continent.

Cangjizhou is located at the western end of the eastern continent and covers an area of about 14 million square kilometers. It is also famous for the Tianqiong Mountain Range, which is also the richest among the three continents in the eastern continent in terms of mineral resources, timber resources, and water resources. And there is a country on this Cangji state, and the name of the country is 'Cangluo'.

The reputation of Cangluo

The universe is vast, and the universe is desolate.

The East Pole is the only one in this frontier.

The sun, moon and stars are measured by me.

What is the name of it, the state of Cangluo.

Cangluo is the most extensive country in this Cangji State, and there is no one, and its land area accounts for about six or seven tenths of the entire Cangji Continent. There are about 80,000 registered households, the Chinese language is Luo, the national language is Cangluo, and the national code is Confucian. Agriculture can be described as 'the barn is full of grain every year, and the locusts have surplus grain for ten years', while commerce can be interpreted by 'if you envy the clouds and satin brocade of the heavenly palace, you will taste the words of the morning and the evening'. And the strength of the Cangluo country is even more indescribable in the whole chapter.

As the recognized suzerainty of the eastern continent, Cangluo has always valued harmony, and always takes more care of the surrounding vassal states, no matter where there is trouble, Cangluo will help in time, which also makes Cangluo become a 'timely rain' in the minds of small countries, and they all admire it very much, and they are very envious of its national strength.

This year is Longchen 3196, the weather in early spring is still a little cool, especially in the capital of Cangluo country "Shichang", just about ten days ago on the night, a blizzard hit, making this noisy and prosperous city that never sleeps has become a lot quieter overnight.

In the past few days, the snow on the road has been swept to the side of the road, and has been carried out of the city by clumsy wagons and discarded on the edge of the woods outside the city. At 5:45 a.m., the sky was slightly bright, in an official house in Shichang City, a young man (Hua Nian Youzhi) had finished washing, and was repairing his makeup in front of the dressing mirror. At this time, a woman walked next to her, holding the official uniform of the head of the Laundry Division.

The wife: "Xianggong, please change your clothes." ”

Said very respectfully.

Hua Nian has ambition: "Got it"

It's obviously a woman's voice as well.

I saw Hua Nian Youzhi standing with his legs together, his arms slightly raised, his wife and maid waited for him to change his clothes, first helped him take off his cyan nightgown, put on a close-fitting pale pink middle shirt for him, and the lower body of the men's obscene pants (ancient underwear, men's obscene pants are boxers, women's obscene pants are briefs) Outside is tied a loose pale pink skirt and the buckle on the side is fastened, the length of the skirt is about three inches below the knee, and then put on the chief official uniform to tie the buckle on the side. and tie the waist of the official uniform with a belt two inches and seven dollars wide. Then the hair is put on a crown and fixed with a short hairpin, and finally the official hat with a low front and high back is put on the head, and the ties on both sides of the official hat are tied at the chin, and the change of clothes is completed. The official uniform of the chief of the Pure Clothes Division is a tight caftan with a brown-gray color as a whole, and a white peacock opening pattern is embroidered on the official uniform with seven-colored threads, and finally the cuffs and hem of pink and white fluff are woven. The official hat is tan, the front half is woven of thin silk, and the back half is woven of breathable yarn, which is the whole set of the head of the clean clothing division.

Hua Nian Youzhi put on his official boots and hurriedly went out, looking up at the sky at this time, it should have been more than half of the hour. The coachman was already waiting outside the courtyard, and when one of the valets saw his master come out of the house, he opened the courtyard door, and the other followed his master to the side and kept a distance of about two feet, until the master boarded the carriage, and the valet hurried over to tighten the door, and then took two steps backwards, bowed his upper body and said, "Master is high," and the carriage drove down the white stone and brick street. Normally, it takes at least three quarters of an hour to travel by carriage from the door of the house to the palace gate, but as an official of the Cangluo Kingdom, you can use a special official road, so that it can be reached in a maximum of two quarters of an hour. The four-wheeled carriage with a width of five feet and a length of nine feet not only has soft seats, but also soft chairs, and Hua Nian has the ambition to lie on the soft chairs to rest for a while to make up for sleep, and the driver's skillful driving skills and the smooth and clean road surface of the official road make the car drive steadily without disturbing the rest of the passengers in the car.

At this moment, the west gate of Changcheng has been opened, the west gate is composed of two door openings, a single door hole is also seven feet wide, one foot two feet high, one of the two door openings is only in and out, the other is only in and out of the city gate, this is the city gate specially for civilians to enter and exit the city, usually open the door at six o'clock in the morning, the inner and outer doors of the door hole out of the city are guarded by two city gate guards respectively, and can be directly released without inspection when going out of the city. There are no less than 20 gate guards at the inner and outer doors of the door opening to enter the city, and all those who enter the city must show the household registration certificate issued by the household department, and open the package with them for the inspector to see, if it is a household in the city, as long as there is no problem with the inspection package, you can be allowed to enter, but if it is a household in the outer city, you must explain the purpose of the trip to the inspector and when to leave, if the provincial relatives also need to inform the relatives' names and addresses, all the above information will be recorded, if there is half a lie, I am afraid that there will be a prison sentence. At this time, a man in a sleeveless short coat led a small donkey, walked unhurriedly through the gate of the city, mixed with other people out of the city, walked out of the city, and stayed away from the city gate, before riding a small donkey, walking into the distance, before leaving, did not forget to take a look at the people who had formed a long queue at the city gate, and were waiting to enter the city for inspection.

Outside the gate of the Imperial City Palace, a carriage stopped, Hua Nian Youzhi walked down from the carriage, walked straight to the palace gate, and when he approached the palace gate guard, he took out the waist plate made of Jinhua burnt wood from the belt (this Jinhua burnt wood is made of cutting down the Jinhua tree in the royal garden and burning it with rare and precious silver char) to prove his identity, and the palace gate guard confirmed that the waist card and the chief official uniform were correct, and let it pass. Hua Nian Youzhi stepped into the palace gate with his front feet, and the two divisions of the Cleaning Clothes Division were already waiting here, and after seeing the Chief, the two hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "The Principal Division is promoted", Hua Nian Youzhi replied "Uh-huh", and walked straight towards the Cleaning Division, and the two Divisions followed the side and the back of the left and right.

At this time, the man in the short coat had already ridden the little donkey to the door of an inn that did not even have a name, and the man in the short coat skillfully jumped off the little donkey, tied the little donkey to the tethered horse post on the side, and walked into the inn.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw that there were guests coming, he hurriedly came over to greet him, and the man in the short coat didn't speak, so he went directly to the second floor, found a position against the wall, and sat on the stool.

The man in the short coat: "Bring me a plate of fried peanuts, a pound of beef buns, and a pot of soju"

Shopkeeper: "Okay, sir, wait a minute, I'll bring it to you"

After a while, the shopkeeper brought all the food ordered by the guests to the table, and when he turned around to leave, his left forearm was suddenly grabbed by the man in the short coat.

The man in the short coat: "You are mixing this wine with water, right?" Want to fool me?! ”

Shopkeeper: "This master, what are you talking about, the little one doesn't have the courage to do this."

The man in the short coat: "You didn't do it, someone else did it!" Go and get your store manager, I'm going to reason with him."

As soon as the shopkeeper heard this rough talk, he knew that he was not a master to be messed with, and hurriedly said that he would go to find it, after the little two walked downstairs, the man in the short coat grabbed a bun in one hand and sent it to his mouth, and soon a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early thirties and less than forty walked upstairs and walked to his side wearing a rich robe.

Store manager: "Does this guy suspect that the wine in my store is mixed with water?" ”

The man in the short coat: "It's not a suspicion, it's a conviction!" ”

Store manager: "I don't know what the certificate is?" ”

Man in a short coat: "Credentials? What credentials do you need? Let me tell you, Lao Tzu is the proof, Lao Tzu said that if you mix water, you will mix water! ”

Store manager: "This little brother is excited, we can talk about anything"

As he spoke, the store manager sat on the bench next to him.

Store manager: "Is this little brother from Shichang?" ”

The man in the short coat: "That's right, Shichang City, which just came out this morning"

Store manager: "Is the city lively today?" ”

The man in the short coat: "Isn't Changcheng lively for a day at this time?" ”

Store manager: "Haha, too, after all, it is the capital of my Cangluo country, and it is not too much to be lively"

The man in the short coat: "That's, hey, I said the store, if you're okay these days, it's best not to go to the city."

Manager: "Why is that?" ”

The man in the short coat: "I see that you don't often enter the city, I don't know what happened these days, the inspection at the city gate can be strict, it is not an exaggeration to say, even if the coffin is going to enter the city, you have to lift the lid of the coffin to see if the corpse is wrapped!" ”

Manager: "Oh?! It's so serious, okay, thank you for telling this little brother, I invited this today."

Man in a short coat: "It's really fake!" Thank you, store! I'm planning to go out here, and I won't be back until about half a month, and I'll come to your house for dinner when I have the chance."

Store manager: "Okay, well, then this little brother should be more careful along the way"

The man in the short coat: "Rest assured, the store is safe, it is safe outside the city!" ”

Outside Shichang City, an inn that doesn't even have a name is opened in such a remote location, and it doesn't seem that business is very good, but it still insists on opening there, and I am really curious whether this person who opened the store will do business.

At this time, in the clean clothes division of the palace of Shichang City, a group of chief and deputy envoys dressed in official uniforms have been seated in the main hall, and there are dozens of priests guarding outside the main hall, and a person sits on the main seat of the main hall, the official uniform worn by this person is very similar to the official uniform of the main director, but the color is gray-brown, and the white peacock pattern has also become a purple peacock pattern, and the official hat on the top of the head is gray-white, looking like a beautiful woman, the jaw is slightly long, the expression is gloomy, and the voice is a little thin and harsh.

Hua Nian Yuthorn: "Everyone has been working hard these days, and it is my honor to work with you." ”

Everyone: "It is a blessing for us to be able to serve the clean clothes division, and we are willing to share our worries for the flowers"

Hua Nian Yuthorn: "Yes, yes, you are all people I picked, I know that I will not look away, now we are all loyal to Your Majesty in the Pure Clothes Division, and serve Yan Shou, naturally we should be like a fire candle regardless of our own losses, to burn out this life for Your Majesty and Yan Shou, these days I have received accurate news, that group of self-sufficient thieves are coming to the capital to make trouble again, they probably forgot what the good end is for those who dare to come here to make trouble all these years, you all listen well, whether it is day or night, you must pay close attention to the movements outside the city, If there is any suspicious person, you must follow me, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Everyone: "Subordinates obey"

After that, everyone bent down in unison and pressed their left hand with their right hand to perform a bowing (female ceremony).

About the Pure Clothes Division,This is a unique kind of institution for the emperor in this work.,There are two such institutions.,One is the Pure Clothes Division.,The other is the Pure Soul Division.,Both institutions are composed of beautiful men.,Because of the influence of contemporary aesthetics.,All beautiful men have to wear women's makeup.,But it doesn't affect them to marry wives and have children.。 It's just that all the people who join the company have to change their surnames to prove their loyalty, and all the people in the Pure Clothes Division have the surname "Hua Nian", and all the people in the Pure Soul Division have the surname "Xiyan", and this change of surname is even the surname on the household register, which will directly affect future generations.

The official positions of this institution are arranged from top to bottom: Yan Shou, Hua Resent, Chief Secretary, Deputy Envoy, and Servant. In addition, the functions of the two divisions are also different, the Pure Clothes Division is mainly responsible for monitoring the people and things on the rivers and lakes, while the Pure Soul Division is mainly responsible for monitoring the people and things in the court, in addition, the two divisions are subordinate to the Ministry of Rites, yes, you read it right!

At night, two legged horses carrying two middle-aged men, rushed to Shichang City, but in the dense forest outside Shichang City, suddenly turned the horse's head, and dived directly into the dense forest, two middle-aged men were wearing short coats and trousers, and the feet were pedaling with cow tendon boots, one was tall, the other was short and fat, the two found a hidden place in the forest, extinguished the fluorescent lamp (a lighting tool, not afraid of wind and rain, the lighting range was less than eight feet), flew off the horse, changed the night flying clothes, and the two of them were pinned with knight waist knives at the belts around their waists. The tall man carries a big burden behind his back.

Humpty Dumpty: "Second brother, brother, I still think we can slow down and act"

Tall; "I can't slow it anymore, I have a lot of dreams at night"

Humpty Dumpty: "But today's friends in the rivers and lakes have clearly told us that Changcheng is not safe these days, or we should take refuge outside the city for half a month before acting."

Tall; "Fifth brother, I'm afraid we won't have that much time, now they are also tracking us, the eldest brother's family has been killed, it won't be long, you and I are only afraid ......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking, and the forest was already quiet at night, but now it is even quieter.

Humpty Dumpty: "Okay, second brother, you must be careful!" ”

Tall; "Don't worry, I'm just going to deliver something, I'll be back when the thing is delivered, you watch the horses here, I'll be back at dawn at the latest"

After saying that, the tall man turned around and walked towards Shi Changcheng, Humpty Dumpty didn't say much, he glanced at the big tree next to him, it was about seven or eight zhang high, Humpty Dumpty's knees bent violently, and he jumped up more than one zhang high directly on the spot, and firmly grasped the trunk of the tree with both hands and feet, and then ran to the top of the tree like a squirrel, and then disappeared into the night.

Unexpectedly, at the time of a cup of tea, a figure suddenly appeared next to the horse.

Tall; "Fifth brother! Fifth brother! It's me."

Whispered to the man.

Just now Humpty Dumpty was in the treetops to perform the 'white ape asking for directions' kung fu, has moved softly to a tree a hundred steps away to hide, at this time heard the human voice, then alert, to listen carefully, this is the second brother's voice, after confirming that it is correct, Humpty Dumpty climbed down the tree and ran over.

Humpty Dumpty: "Second brother, why are you back?" ”

Tall; "Fifth brother, I thought about it, for the sake of safety, I won't take this burden with me, I'll hand it over to you for safekeeping first, I'll go into the city to explore the way, make sure there is no danger, and I'll come back to get the burden."

Humpty Dumpty: "Oh, that's fine"

Tall; "Fifth brother, the brocade box in this burden is more important than your life and mine, remember not to lose it."

Humpty Dumpty: "Second brother, don't worry! ”

Tall; "I'm leaving"

After saying that, the tall man turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped again.

Tall; "If I don't come back within two hours, I won't be able to stay here, so run for your life."

After saying this, the tall man suddenly accelerated and ran towards Shi Changcheng, leaving behind a dignified Humpty Dumpty man.
