Scenery of the North Chapter 30 Life and Death Matter
Lu An unconsciously slept directly on the chair until dark, got up in a daze, and found that the moonlight was already high, and the originally noisy craftsman city had no sound at the moment, although the city was still brightly lit.
Lu An wiped his eyes, got up and walked into the house, and found that he was drinking alone, three side dishes, a few steamed buns, and a pot of wine, and the configuration was still the same as before, just one person drinking.
Seeing Lu An walk in, he said with a smile: "Are you sleeping comfortably?" Seeing that you are sleeping like this, I am reluctant to wake you up for dinner. ”
Lu An thought about it, he had been condensing pure gold day and night in that cave mansion, sleepless, and he seemed to have not heard the word dinner for a long time, and said with a smile: "I was hungry for a long time, and I got up when I smelled the wine." ”
Understood and smiled slightly, "Then don't come over quickly, I'm worried that I'm tired of drinking alone." ”
Lu An smirked, sat down with a butt, hadn't touched wine for a month, and quickly poured himself a glass and drank it all, "Cool." ”
The wine is the most common five-penny pot of pear blossom white in the world, sweet and easy to eat, but the taste is a little light, but in the year of the craftsman's city, Lu An has been drinking it for a whole year, and he unconsciously fell in love with this.
The dish is also the most suitable appetizer, with a combination of meat and vegetables, a plate of peanuts as the soul, a plate of cucumber in sauce to enhance the flavor, and a plate of the most delicious salted beef, and of course, the most important thing is two white flour steamed buns.
Lu An looked at this familiar home-cooked dish and couldn't help but smirk twice.
"What are you laughing at? Eating dry food this month is stupid?" asked puzzled.
Lu An laughed twice, "That's not it, I eat the same thing every day, and I eat it for a month, who can stand it, it's pitiful to think about this month." ”
Understood and was immediately amused by Lu An, "I think, if all the dry food is replaced with steamed buns, you will eat it with relish, and I don't know what is going on with you kid, I don't like big fish and meat, but I like to eat steamed buns? ”
"Choose high-quality white flour, add yeast, mix the dough, ferment, and then continue to mix the dough until the dough is elastic and strong, and finally put cold water in the pot to steam, so that the steamed bread will not get tired of eating. Lu An said.
"So when are you going to make it for me to taste?" asked clearly.
"Whether I think Aunt Li's steamed buns are not delicious or Uncle Wang's wine is not delicious, I took the trouble to make steamed buns to eat. Lu An rolled his eyes.
Ming Ming smiled and poured a glass of wine for Lu An, and also poured himself a glass, and then raised his glass to Lu An and said, "Come, let's go." ”
Lu An also raised his glass with a smile, touched the two cups lightly, and drank them all.
After this cup, Mingming's face turned red unconsciously, and he even burped, and the whole person began to sway, Lu An was surprised, for the first time in such a long time, he saw that he was drunk.
"Master, how much have you drunk today? Can you get drunk even as a grandmaster?" asked Lu An.
Ming shook his head and said slowly: "No more, no more, happy today, I haven't been drunk for many years, I almost forgot how I feel when I get drunk, I want to get drunk today, hahaha." ”
Lu An felt a little strange and couldn't understand it, this reason was a bit blunt.
After getting drunk, I understood that I didn't go crazy with alcohol, nor did I nag, just sat there quietly, poured wine and drank, and from time to time sandwiched a piece of beef and a peanut.
Lu An quietly looked at this drunk man who was swaying, and he also drank a glass from time to time.
Unexpectedly, after getting drunk, I realized that I actually started a poem with the intention of drinking, "Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, don't be sad when you are drunk, smile and ask where it is now, it is hard to say that it will pass." Okay, good, I'm an old horseman, this time I finally have a culture. Then, understanding, he collapsed on the table and snored.
Lu An chirped once or twice, chuckled, and then muttered in a low voice, "Is the level about the same as Hu Yong?" ”
.........
The next day, Lu An opened his eyes as soon as it was dawn, got up, washed, went out, and bought breakfast, as usual.
When he came back with a steamed bun, he was about to wake up for breakfast, but he found that he had long since disappeared, and he didn't know where he had gone early in the morning.
I was thinking about where this person had gone when he had gone out so early, and he found that he had come back from outside the door with a jade bottle in his hand.
understood that when he entered the door, he motioned to Lu An to eat breakfast first, Lu An nodded, and the two of them nibbled on steamed buns wordlessly.
After breakfast, he clearly hooked his fingers, "Follow me." ”
Lu An nodded and silently followed behind Mingming.
The two of them left the blacksmith shop and walked along the road towards the center of the craftsman city.
After walking for a while, looking at this route, Lu An frowned and asked, "Where is this going?
I didn't look back and said, "Yes, it's going to that place." ”
Lu An was suddenly surprised, after a year in the Craftsman City, he never found out that he still had something to do with the City Lord's Mansion, and the most he used to do was to go to the auction house, but the place he chose today turned out to be the City Lord's Mansion?
Sure enough, as Lu An expected, he understood and then spoke again: "Your master and I have such a big face, I helped you choose the safest place in the craftsman city, and it is also the safest place in the city lord's mansion, so this time you can rest assured, the master will definitely provide you with the best environment, and no one will disturb you." ”
Lu An snorted, and then obediently followed and understood, all the way forward.
The two came directly to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu An stopped, looked up, he had been to the Craftsman City for a whole year, and today was the first time he came to the City Lord's Mansion, I had only heard of it in other people's mouths before, the momentum of the City Lord's Mansion was seen today, the light of this mansion gate was almost as high as the city gate of Saibei City, two black dragons and phoenixes were carved on the two pillars in front of the mansion gate, and the color scheme of the entire mansion gate was mainly dark, which was simple, making people feel a majestic momentum, and even death.
Knowing that he patted Lu An who was in a daze, Lu An immediately came back to his senses, "What's wrong?
Lu An shook his head and replied, "I've never seen such a special." ”
Knowing that he strode forward directly, he walked in, and the guards on both sides of the door seemed to be unseen, Lu Anxin thought, "It seems that it is an old acquaintance." ”
Lu An followed and turned around, and came directly to the main hall, there was no one else in the hall, only a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the hall, drinking a pot of tea.
Lu An asked softly, "City Lord?"
He shook his head and whispered: "This person's name is Bai Yu, and he is the housekeeper, military advisor and accountant here, but he is sick every day, you stay away from him, worrying that he will infect you." ”
When Lu An heard this, he looked at him puzzled, and he didn't understand this sentence very well.
Bai Yu saw that the two were whispering, and he knew that he was talking bad about himself again, so he scolded directly: "Old horseman, if you dare to say more, I will demolish your broken blacksmith shop." ”
Knowing this, he immediately smiled and said to Bai Yu: "Bai Yu, don't don't, don't dare, don't dare." ”
The first time Lu An saw and understood, it turned out to be such a deflated expression, and it was in a low tone, someone could restrain and understand?
"Old horseman, a dead duck is a hard mouth, and he doesn't know how to maintain the appearance of a good teacher in front of your apprentices, and he does some things all day long, which is a shame. Bai Yu scolded directly, "Lu An, come closer and let me take a look." ”
Lu An heard Bai Yu call his name directly, glanced at it and nodded understandingly.
Lu An walked straight to Bai Yu's side, saluted slightly, and shouted, "Bai is in charge." ”
When Bai Yu heard this, he frowned, "See you, according to your seniority, you will call me Uncle Shi in the future, is there a problem?" ”
Understood and quickly shook his head, "No problem, no problem, whatever you say is what you say." ”
Lu An still couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was, but he still listened to Bai Yu, and then called out to Uncle Shi.
When Bai Yu heard this, he laughed, "Okay, Lu An, Uncle Shi also prepared a meeting gift for you today, I hope you won't need it today." After speaking, he took something from his arms and handed it to Lu An.
Lu An respectfully accepted it, it was a stone, a red stone, which was very warm and comfortable to touch with his hands.
Seeing this stone on the side, his eyes widened, and he said, "I can't regret what I gave away." ”
When Bai Yu heard this, he frowned again, "It seems that your shop really doesn't want it?"
understood and hurriedly urged Lu An to put away this stone, for fear that Bai Yu would regret it.
Although Lu An didn't know what this stone was, judging from his clear reaction, this stone should be a very precious treasure.
Then he asked, "Uncle Shi, what kind of stone is this, it is very precious?"
Lu An just finished asking, and he hurriedly said: "It's not just precious, it's simply a treasure, this is the Vermilion Bird Stone, according to legend, it was injured during the battle of the Five Divine Beasts ten thousand years ago, and then his true blood dripped on a stone, and for ten thousand years, there is only one such one." ”
Bai Yu nodded, "That's right, it's the Vermilion Bird Stone, the only piece left in the world, and it can be regarded as a treasure in the Craftsman City." ”
When Lu An heard this explanation, he found that this thing was indeed a treasure, but what was the use of this thing?
"The role of this thing, the first one, carry it with you, it is not invaded by all poisons, and you are not afraid of evil, and the second one, if you cultivate the fire attribute exercises, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Bai Yu explained.
"But these two roles don't seem to have anything to do with me, right?" Lu An was puzzled.
"The last role is to bring the dead back to life, and this stone is equivalent to one more life. "Clearly.
"Really, one more life?" Lu An asked.
Bai Yu nodded, "According to legend, it's been like this, but it's been too long, and I've never seen anyone use it, I don't know if it's true or not, but his other two effects can already make most people crazy, and in the end, no one dares to try that effect easily, in case it fails." ”
Lu An's head suddenly grew for a while, isn't this too unreliable.
Bai Yu got up, "Since the people have also met and the meeting gift has been given, then let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" asked Lu An.
"Spirit Domain, a special place, the most secret place in the Craftsman City, and the most important place, your good master insists on you going to that place. Bai Yu said.
"Spirit Domain?" Lu An hadn't heard of.
"The spiritual domain, one of the seven domains in the world, no one knows how this place was formed, and no one knows why this place was formed, there are seven major domains in the world, and the northern realm accounts for three, which are the spiritual domain, the sword domain, and the blood domain, each domain is a broken world, but the advantage is that you can more easily perceive the avenue in the spiritual domain, and even the way of heaven, so you can easily feel the five elements in the spiritual domain, which is good for your cultivation exercises. Bai Yu said.
"Is it just to make me more likely, is there any danger in that?" Lu An asked.
Nodding understandingly, "In a place like the Spirit Realm, the possibility of increasing is a full twenty percent, so it is worth the risk, the danger is whether you can refine and absorb this gold essence within seven days." ”
"This kind of place is not something you want to enter, just opening this entrance requires a lot of resources, with the ability of the craftsman city, you can only enter at most one or two people at a time when you open it, and it will take seven days at most, if it exceeds seven days, the entrance will be closed, and you may not be able to come back in your life." Bai Yu said again.
"Won't you be able to open it again next time?" asked Lu An.
"Every time you open it, the place you enter is random, which means that you can stay there for the rest of your life when the door is closed, and how long will you live if the entrance is closed? Bai Yu said.
In this way, the three of them came to the ground under this question and answer, an empty hall, where a stone door ten meters high stood quietly, and the stone door was still carved with various messy lines.
Bai Yu pointed to the door, looked at Lu An, and asked, "Are you ready?"
Lu An turned his head to look at Ming, "Master, I'll go in by myself." ”
"If you go in alone, you'll die. "Clearly.
"Two people will die if they go in. Bai Yu replied.
Lu An nodded, "Within seven days, I will definitely be able to come out, right?"
Bai Yu nodded, "Words count." ”
"Master, it's useless if you go, there's no danger anyway, if you go, you're just stupid to watch me, you should wait for me outside, save you from being by my side and distract me." Lu An said clearly.
After struggling for a while, he let out a sigh of relief, "Okay. ”
Then he understood that he took out the jade bottle in the morning and handed it to Lu An, "Nine Heavens Xuandan, give you to replenish your internal strength, you are a second-grade person, you can't use up the effect of this one within seven days, and you can definitely persist until you succeed." ”
Lu An nodded, and then took the wrapped gold essence from Mingming.
Then Bai Yu led Lu An to the stone gate, looked at Lu An, and said to him, "Have you thought about it? If you go in, your life and death will be on your own." ”
Lu An nodded heavily, my own life and death can finally be controlled by myself once.
Bai Yu took out a round stone slab, put it on the door, and turned it.
The stone door rumbled and slowly moved, opening a corner, just enough to accommodate a person to pass through, emitting a dazzling white light, and everything inside the door looked like nothingness, and nothing could be seen except chaos.
Lu An glanced back at Bai Yu and understood, then took a breath and walked directly towards Bai Guang until he disappeared.
Bai Yu said: "This is the fate of life and death." ”
I understood and whispered, "Life and death are fate! ”
"Hmm, Master Ming is about to start refining weapons again after more than ten years?" Bai Yu exclaimed.
Clearly took out the handful of pure gold and showed it to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu's eyes lit up instantly, "The rent of the stove, half of this thing." ”
"If you can't use it up, I'll give you the rest, and it's time to give me a gift like an apprentice. Understood and whispered.
