Chapter 1 The Past Resignation
On the surface of the Qingjiang River, a big ship is breaking the waves.
In the part where the hull comes into contact with the water, there are many fin-like things flying up and down.
This is a 100-fin boat made by the Mohist machine, which mimics the fins of fish to assist swimming.
More than a dozen men stepped on the waterwheel in the bottom warehouse to push these "fins" and speed up the boat.
Of course, in fact, it is faster without using manpower, just put the Dao Yuan Stone into the sailing array plate carved by the Mo monk.
But it is obviously not as cheap as using manpower.
This big ship can carry two hundred people, which is not bad in the waters of the entire Zhuang country. It is a government vessel, but it also operates passenger and freight business.
Du Yehu was on this hundred-fin ship.
Fenglin City is located in the northeast of Zhuangguo, and Jiujiang City is located in the west. First to the Qingjiang River, it is most convenient to take the waterway by boat.
The military is quite tightly controlled. He finally took a long vacation, drank a jar of spirits on the boat, covered his head and fell asleep, only then did he wake up and come out to blow the river breeze.
It was already winter, but because Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, the people on the boat were still very noisy.
At this kind of season, there is a high probability that this boat is a traveler looking back at the three cities of Wangjiang, Fenglin and Sanshan.
Du Yehu approached the crowd, listened quietly for a while, and found that there was no local sound in Fenglin City. He pouted a little boredly and turned back to the cabin alone.
After a short time, he came out with a large bag and a small bag, and got off the boat alone during the short interval between the big boat's docking.
There is still a waterway from Wangjiang City, so only he gets off the boat.
In such a cold weather, there is no problem with Qingjiang, and the Green Willow River will freeze.
Therefore, it should be more convenient to take the dry road from here.
These things were all told by the lieutenant in the army, who claimed to have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Zhuang Country, and they were very useful.
The big bags and small bags are all gifts carefully prepared by him, including the specialties of Daishan County (Jiujiang City has no special products except for fierce beasts), seizures on the battlefield, and some good things that are only specially supplied to Jiujiang Xuanjia.
In short, he Du Laohu dared to guarantee that he would definitely make those few dirt buns so happy that they couldn't find the north. His An An's sister will inevitably grab his beard and slap him hard.
Both hands were full, and from a distance, the person looked like a moving shelf, but Du Yehu didn't feel tired at all.
It has been several years, and he has been celebrating the New Year with Linghe, Jiang Wang, Fang Pengju, and Zhao Rucheng for several years.
He and Linghe don't have a home, Jiang Wang comes and goes in a hurry when he goes back to Fengxi Town, Fang Pengju doesn't like to stay in the clan land at all, and Zhao Rucheng doesn't have much home.
So the five of them are all together.
This year, there is one less Fang Pengju, but there is one more Jiang Anan.
Thinking of Jiang An'an's cute little face, Du Yehu couldn't help but grin.
His blood relatives are gone, Jiang Wang and others are his brothers, and Jiang Anan is his sister-in-law.
He struggled hard in Jiujiang Xuanjia, didn't he just want to show off his might in front of his brothers and brothers, and meet the eyes of his sister's worship?
When he first left, he also made an appointment with Jiang Wang to compare the cultivation speed of the Four Spirits Refining Body Duel.
Now he has gone through the path of the ancient soldiers' blood and blood, and the four spirits have been refined, and the four spirits have converged. It's time to let the third child know who the elder brother is.
Du Yehu moved fast, and the closer he got to home, the faster his steps became.
He strode down the road like an arrow.
"Stop!"
When he was still some distance away from the Maple Grove City, a group of soldiers stopped him.
"What are you doing?" Du Yehu stopped and asked dissatisfiedly, revealing the Jiujiang Xuanjia military badge on his waist.
Several soldiers looked at each other, and the leader saluted: "My lord, you can't go any further." ”
"Why?" Du Yehu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
The soldiers looked at the big bags on his body, and they probably understood what he was here for, and they couldn't help but show sympathy.
"You probably left camp early and happened to miss the announcement. The soldier said cautiously: "The Cult White Bone Dao is here to cause trouble, and sacrifice the entire Maple Forest City to welcome the evil god into the world. Although the conspiracy was exposed by Dong A, the head of the Daoist Academy of Maple Grove City, and even alarmed the Prime Minister to come and kill the culprit in person, the entire Maple Grove City has also fallen into the netherworld. The living shall no longer enter. ”
Bang!
With Du Yehu's strength, he couldn't grasp the package for a while, and let the big bags and small bags fall to the ground.
“...... What about the people in the city?" he asked, trembling.
The soldier sighed, "It's all gone......"
Click!
Du Yehu was shocked by this sound, and came back to his senses, only to find that he had inadvertently stepped into the ground and sunk a few inches.
He pulled out his foot, and heard a howling voice next to him.
"It's gone, it's all gone!
Du Yehu followed the sound and looked over, only to see a man with a package on his back crying on the ground, and his voice was already dumb.
He cried for a while, but he had no strength, so he stopped for a while, and after a while, he began to howl again.
Looking at that, it should also be a villager who returned to the Maple Forest City. Stopped on the way home.
"Dong A, Dong A, Dong Ah is our dean!" Du Yehu suddenly asked excitedly as if he had caught something, "Since Dean Dong exposed the cult conspiracy, those monks of the City Dao Academy should have escaped, right?"
The soldier apologized and said, "Except for Dean Dong, including the trainees, none of them were spared. ”
Du Yehu sat on the ground and grabbed his hair vigorously.
"No, no. ”
He lost his soul and muttered to himself.
"Boss, don't you have great wisdom?"
"Aren't you better than me, the third child?"
"Little Wu, aren't you smarter than me?"
"Why is it gone?
At the end of his muttering, he shouted: "You three big men, why can't you even take care of An An!"
......
"I don't believe it. ”
He chattered for a long time, then suddenly stood up, gathered the gifts he had brought, hugged them together, and rushed towards the direction of the Maple Forest City without looking back.
"Your Excellency, you can't go over!"
The soldier stretched out his hand to stop him, but Du Yehu had already rushed away in a few leaps.
"Let him go. The soldier next to him sighed: "He can't enter the netherworld, so it's better to take a look from afar." ”
......
According to the soldiers who blocked the periphery of the Maple Grove Domain, the entire Maple Grove Territory had been silent since it fell into the Netherworld.
Only around Chinese New Year's Eve that year, for some reason.
There was a wail like the roar of a trapped beast, and it did not stop for three days.
......
......
The mountain is high and the road is far away, Jiang Anan fell asleep and woke up on his brother's back, woke up and slept.
They traveled during the day and practiced at night, sometimes in caves, sometimes in trees.
Sleeping in the open air, you can only eat some wild fruits along the way to satisfy your hunger.
But she was very sensible and did not complain once.
She knew that her brother would only be more tired, only harder.
Several times she wanted to come down and go by herself, but Jiang Wang just didn't allow it.
It's getting dark, and it's time to rest again.
Jiang An'an likes the night the most, not only because there are stars, but also because her brother can finally stop and talk to her.
After leaving the Maple Grove Domain, my brother talked a lot less.
According to previous experience, the elder brother should find a cave and light a bonfire for her to rest in his arms.
But tonight, Jiang Wang carried her on his back and went all the way up the mountain, all the way up to the top of the mountain.
The wind was cold on the top of the mountain, and her little face was red from the cold. It's okay on the body, and the animal skin wrapped in it is very warm.
Jiang Wang put her off his back and took her little hand.
The brother and sister looked around on the top of the mountain, only to see the stars falling and the four fields peaceful. The distant mountains stretch at your feet at night.
"Brother, what are we doing here?" Jiang Anan asked.
"Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
Jiang Wang asked slowly, "Do you want to see fireworks?"
"Yes!" Jiang Anan replied immediately, but quickly shook his head again: "Anan doesn't want to ......"
Probably she also knew that now was no better than when she was in Maple Grove City. Where to find fireworks in the wilderness? She knew that no matter what she wanted, her brother would do his best for her, so she refused to ask for it.
Jiang Wang squeezed her little hand and said in a dumb voice, "Look." ”
He let go of Jiang An'an and raised his fingertips into the air.
A flower of flame flew high and bloomed brilliantly.
His ten fingers moved, and the fireworks rose one after another, blooming in the night sky one after another.
Blown up into the starry sky.
It is like a star in the sky, falling into a star on earth.
Every bit of starlight is like a departed person.
Although the body and soul are extinguished, the light is eternal.
This is the Chinese New Year's Eve of 3917 in the Taoist calendar.
At the top of an unnamed mountain, Jiang Wang, for his sister, set off fireworks in the middle of the night.
