In a pawnshop on Taolu Street, Old Man Ma was smoking dry tobacco to count the day's harvest. The hand holding the cigarette stick suddenly paused slightly, and then returned to normal, but he just said in his mouth: "I didn't expect the worst one, but went further, how strange do you say this thief is?" ”

At this time, a rabbit with snow-white and smooth hair appeared in front of the pawnshop, poked out his head and said timidly: "Daxian, I have successfully condensed the demon pill according to the method you gave." ”

The old man sat on a stool in front of the shop, and the old god was there, "Oh, is it? Congratulations, another step on the road to the road of Zhengde. ”

The rabbit said with a smile: "The great immortal is praised, and I still know it in my heart for a few catties and a few taels." ”

After staying by the old man's side for a long time, the rabbit spirit knows what it means to have people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. Therefore, the rabbit spirit in the town is extremely cautious, for fear that one accidentally touches some powerful mold head, but the rabbit spirit knows how this remote town is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, real people do not show their faces, and they may casually meet a loyal and honest man in the town is an unknown monk or a monk of the Tao.

Old Man Ma suddenly smiled and said: "You are cautious, but I kindly remind you, it is best not to leave this shop within ten years, as for why you don't need to know, you just need to honestly avoid this ten years, and then it depends on whether you can catch it yourself." ”

Now that all the forces are secretly observing, ready to move, the town has become the center of the whirlpool at this time, if it weren't for Lu Ran, I am afraid that the various forces have already taken action early to take the golden body divinity of the eight righteous gods of the heavenly court as their own.

The old man sighed at the thought of this.

The town has occupied the golden body divinity of the heavenly court for thousands of years, and the mountain range where the town is located is the evolution of the golden body divinity of the year, which is why the town has had excellent luck for thousands of years. There are also those cultivators who have a great reputation in the world, none of them have been touched by the blessings of that person, but the so-called wealth that is not mine, and finally suffer from it, the town has been blessed for thousands of years by relying on the golden body divinity of that person, and now the divinity of that person is awakening, and when the divine thoughts of that person in the divinity are really awakened, according to the temperament of that person, the town is only afraid of being more auspicious and less auspicious, how can the majesty of a god allow a small town to occupy its own luck for thousands of years?

The rabbit spirit didn't expect the old man to say so much to herself, and there seemed to be some revelations between the words, she was a little dumbfounded: "Daxian, what do you mean by this?" ”

The old man Ma, who was interrupted from his thoughts, was a little impatient, and waved his hand, "I'm done, whether you listen or not is your business, if you really want to go out, I won't stop you, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, then the old man, I can still eat rabbit meat." ”

After hearing this, the rabbit spirit suddenly looked nervous, bowed to the old man Ma, and then dodged away.

Old man Ma continued to smoke a dry cigarette, his thoughts wandered, and he said to himself: "What a good one, are you really determined to protect this town?" ”

After Zuo Shuwen helped Xia Chengyi's family post a new painted door god, he said goodbye and left.

Xia Chengyi looked at Zuo Shuwen's departing back, and always felt that this guy had been a little weird in the past few days, but he couldn't say where the weirdness was, so he turned his head and asked Xia Yao beside him, "Yaoyao, do you say Zuo Shuwen has something unspeakable?" ”

Xia Yao was concentrating on fighting with a piece of osmanthus cake in the veil at the moment, she was thinking about whether she should eat the last piece, if she ate it now, it would definitely be gone, if she didn't eat it, her mouth would be too greedy, and the little girl's little face was wrinkled and very entangled.

After Xia Yao heard Xia Chengyi's question, she raised her head and analyzed very seriously: "I think Brother Shuwen may have looked a little lost because he didn't eat the pastries of the osmanthus shop." ”

Xia Chengyi rubbed his eyebrows.

He raised his hand and rubbed Xia Yao's little head, crying and laughing: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat in your little head, is it that the knowledge in the books that Mr. Lu taught you has also been turned into food by you?" ”

Xia Yao looked miserable.

Xia Chengyi finally asked Xia Yao to go back to the house alone to read and complete the homework assigned by Mr. Lu.

Xia Chengyi peeled the last piece of bamboo shoot and threw it into the basket on the side, took out the wild boar bacon that had been pickled before and placed it on the bamboo pole in the courtyard. This is a set of practice methods that the teenager pondered.

The young man walked very seriously, walking step by step according to the movements of Master Li in his memory, but there was always a deviation from the movements of Master Li in his memory.

How does the boy know that this is because he has only learned to resemble shapes, and one of the charms is the most important, even if there are nine points of resemblance and the lack of this part of the charm is tantamount to nothing. However, for Xia Chengyi, it seems that he can learn eight or nine points of it, which is beyond most people, after all, it is not easy for a young man who doesn't even know what to practice, and it is not easy to learn the cultivation technique by drawing a gourd scoop.

After the half-burnt incense, the young man stopped his movements and exhaled a breath of turbidity, feeling refreshed.

In fact, the young man has not been exposed to the so-called immortal magic, Zuo Shuwen wanted to teach the introduction technique to Zhong Quan and Xia Chengyi, who would have thought that one would disdain to learn and the other could not learn well.

Zhong Quan felt that a cultivation genius like him, who was rare in the ages, must be different from ordinary people, and if he cultivated this induction technique, wouldn't it be no different from ordinary monks, so the tall boy said that he would not learn anything. And Xia Chengyi is completely ignorant of the qi induction into the body, and the aura of heaven and earth is like ordinary people drinking water and eating for monks, if even this most basic qi induction realm cannot be refined, let alone the cultivation in the future. However, the swarthy young man looked at this indifferently, the monks have the living methods of the monks, and the common people have the living methods of the common people, since they can't cultivate, then they don't cultivate.

Seeing that it was not too early, Xia Chengyi moved the split firewood into the stove room, prepared the required ingredients and began to make a fire to cook.

————

After Zuo Shuwen left Xia Chengyi's house, he wandered around the streets with nothing to do, but he was almost hit by a carriage without paying attention, and the carriage driver scolded: "Little bastard walks without long eyes? Why don't you get out of the way? ”

Zuo Shuwen rolled his eyes and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the lane.

The window of the carriage revealed a tall man in brocade and jade belt from outside the town. After Zuo Shuwen saw the man, his expression suddenly tensed, and he trembled slightly.

The tall man smiled in the skilled dialect of the town: "I am the Marquis of Xia Guojianye, and I am hereby here to inspect the town by the order of the Son of Heaven, oh yes, my name is Bai Hao." ”

After Bai Hao finished speaking, he closed the curtain of the carriage and instructed the coachman to drive towards the county office, and the carriage kicked up a puff of dust and drove in front of Zuo Shuwen.

Of course, Zuo Shuwen knew what the name of this tall man was, if it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have ruined his country and ended up in such a state today. In fact, Zuo Shuwen didn't tell Zhong Quan and Xia Chengyi that he was the deceased prince of Zheng Guo, not a native of the town. If it weren't for Grandpa Song's sacrifice to send him out of the palace with the National Protection Array, he would have died tragically in the palace like other brothers and sisters. Before he died, Grandpa Song told him to let him go to Longquan Town, thousands of miles away, where even the people of Xia Kingdom did not dare to act at will. In this way, the young man walked thousands of miles alone to Longquan Town, which is located in the territory of Xia Kingdom, when Zuo Shuwen was only five years old.

At that time, Lu Ran was slightly surprised to see the thin young man who looked like a beggar, because he saw that the young man had a faint true dragon aura attached to his body, and after some inquiry, he learned that Zuo Shuwen was the prince of Zheng State, and Zheng Guo had been destroyed by the Xia State of Shu not long ago, and Zuo Shuwen's father and mother also hanged themselves one after another after the city gate was breached. In the battle of Zheng and Zheng, Bai Hao was among the eleventh realms of the clutch realm, and he killed several clutch realm monks in a row, which can be described as proud of his military exploits, as the first real eleventh realm monk in the Xia Kingdom and sword cultivation, the name of Bai Hao of the Xia Kingdom completely started the entire Middle-earth Divine Continent, and he jumped among the top ten heroes of the Middle-earth Divine Continent.

Later, Zuo Shuwen heard the people of the town talk about how Lord Bai got a bamboo fan given by the emperor, and at the same time, because of his great achievements, he was rewarded as the Marquis of Jianye.

Zuo Shuwen looked at the carriage in the distance, his face darkened.

————

Inside the carriage, Bai Hao closed his eyes with his back against the cushion, and the coachman's voice came from outside the car, "My lord, why did you tell the young man your identity?" ”

Bai Hao opened his eyes and remembered the young man he had met before, a pair of slender fingers that were more beautiful than ordinary women rubbed the bamboo fan, and said with a smile: "Why do you say that young man is so hostile to me." ”

Zuo Shuwen thought that he was hiding excellent hostility, but Bai Hao saw through it at a glance.

The coachman pulled the reins of the carriage and said angrily: "A person like an adult who is less than fifty years old and has already become one of the top ten heroes in the world, so it is inevitable to be jealous of others, and that young man is not so much hostile to adults as jealous of adults." ”

The coachman naturally regarded Zuo Shuwen's hostility as a teenager's jealousy, who didn't have a scholarly spirit when he was young and scolded Fang Xuan?

Bai Hao laughed and disagreed.

The coachman continued: "My lord, there is the county government in front, and the county order must have been waiting for a long time. ”

In front of the county government in the small town, several old people were already waiting for their eyes, and one of the long-bearded old men whispered to the young county commander in a green official robe on the side: "Lord Zhang, why did you say that the inspection envoy hasn't arrived yet, it's sunset soon, could it be that you have seen the wrong day?" ”

The white-faced and long-bearded old man is the ancestor of the Zhao family, one of the three surnames in the town, and the green-robed man he asked is the county commander of the town, Zhang Yuci, the young county commander is also a little anxious at the moment, but he did not float on the surface, he calmed down and said slowly: "Lord Bai must have something to miss the hour on the road, if Zhao Lao can't wait, he can go back by himself." ”

The old man with the long beard slandered in his heart, damn calling the old man to stand here with you for a day, and now he is calling the old man to leave? If the old man just walked on the front foot, wouldn't the inspector come on the back foot?

Although the ancestor of the Zhao family complained, he still had a smile on his face, smiling like Zhang Xianling's good grandson, "Where are you?" Am I not afraid that the patrol will magnify the pigeons? ”

Before the words fell, a lazy voice sounded, "I heard that someone wants to see this king?" ”
