Volume 1 Reading Road Chapter 54 This world is bustling
The boy stepped forward, stepping on the wind and the moon.
In the human continent day and night, facing the river.
And in many places on this continent, there are more people, because of the two edicts of the Heaven and Earth Divine Academy, they have left their territories and homeland, just like the prince from the Tang Kingdom, walking by the river.
About 200 miles away from Jiangxin Lake, there is an ancient town that has been around for some years.
Because of its proximity to the river, most of the residents here make a living by preying on river fish.
For many days in the past, they were self-sufficient, living here like a group of ancient fishermen living in seclusion by the river, not happy or not, but that rare ease and ease was enough to make people satisfied.
If the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard had not removed all the thirteen prohibitions arranged on the shore of Jiangxin Lake, the fog that had been hidden by the river all year round and enveloped the entire Divine Temple would not have dissipated.
This ancient town, which lives on the river, may never be noticed.
Nor will it ever be disturbed.
......
One very ordinary morning, a very ordinary wind was blowing.
There is an unusual group of people in this ordinary ancient town.
The residents of the ancient town are preparing to sail out on their boats as usual to go fishing.
Continue to live a life where the sun rises and the sun sets.
On the vast avenue that connects the town with the outside world, as well as the river behind it, many figures slowly emerged.
Those figures emerged from the distant horizon, followed by the morning sun, looming at the edge of the avenue, towards the ancient town.
In a few hours, the figures had crossed some long distance between the avenues and came to the town.
Dressed in different costumes and carrying their own sect signs, they seemed to be very familiar with each other, but the subtle distance between their actions indicated that their relationship was far from being as harmonious as it seemed.
They came from the outside world, and if they wanted to go to the shore of Jiangxin Lake at the end of this avenue, they needed to borrow this town to rest.
The most central area of the ancient town is an inn that has no guests all year round, no running water, and is almost about to close down.
If it weren't for the fact that the steward of the town needed to use this inn to support the rows, keep the occasional passers-by in the past, as well as some merchants and vendors, in exchange for the fish and shrimp they caught, I am afraid that this inn would have closed down long ago.
This inn is large, with a three-storey pavilion up and down, and the furnishings and decorations inside are not very luxurious, but they are very clean.
It was thanks to the only two men in the inn who had nothing to do all day and passed the time by dusting them when they were free, which was pitiful and ridiculous to say.
If it weren't for the fact that the cost of living in this town was too low, the owner of this inn, surnamed Sun, and his two guys would have closed their shop and gone to the river to drink the northwest wind.
So when the group of guests from the outside world on that avenue walked into this ancient town and came to this inn to stay and rest, a red light appeared in the eyes of Boss Sun in the inn.
After half his life, he invested in this inn, and now he finally sees the return.
The two guys in the inn were also very excited, and began to get busy, enthusiastically entertaining this group of guests from a foreign land.
The inn was lively.
Boss Sun was happy, and with a wave of his hand, more than ten large round tables were placed in the Chase room on the second floor, and the river breeze blew from the sky at night, which was very cool.
Seating here is perfect for drinking and singing.
When the night is not dark, the halo of the sky is a little darker, and the sound of drinking and colliding in this inn is heard.
On the second floor of the inn, there were four or five strong men with knives sitting in the banquet by the window, and judging by the close-fitting suits on their bodies and the rough thick calluses between their palms, they were obviously good at using knives.
After three rounds of drinking, one of the strong men with an arc-shaped scar on the corner of his mouth suddenly patted the big knife on the table, looked at the hazy night outside the window, and said with a soft smile: "I'm afraid this place is still a hundred miles away from the river, and the gentle river breeze is already so intoxicating, if you really are in the river, how happy you should be to spend your life on that island? No wonder the temple never wants to reveal its location, for fear that it is not just to not be disturbed by the world." ”
Another big man laughed when he heard this, picked up the wine jar and took a sip of old wine, he smiled and said: "I said Zheng Laosan, what is the point of you pretending to be sensational there? ”
Zheng Laosan waved his hand, deliberately hoarse and said: "Then you don't understand Wu Laoer, we have to understand the rules wherever we come." This place is so close to the Heaven and Earth Seminary, and it is also within the jurisdiction of the gods and people, and the teachers of those temples teach and educate people on weekdays, and they must be in such a tone as I speak, which is called following the local customs, do you understand? ”
Wu Lao Er drank by himself and ignored him.
Zheng Laosan suddenly touched a glass of wine with another man next to him with a calm face and gloomy eyes, and whispered: "Boss Zhou, a few of us have given up the good things in the green forest and followed you here. When the time comes, if you get any benefits in the seminary, don't forget to give your brothers a piece of the pie. ”
The boss Zhou drank and didn't speak, and the last man sitting in the corner smiled: "I said Zheng Laosan, the eldest brother has always done things fairly, the girl we snatched back in those years, which time did you lose your share?"
Zheng Laosan suddenly sat up straight when he heard this, pointed at the man and shouted: "Wang Laosi, don't talk cool there, didn't you pick the girl first......?"
Before he finished speaking, Boss Zhou, who had been quiet and had not spoken, suddenly put the wine glass on the table, he glanced at Zheng Laosan, and said in a sullen voice: "This place is no better than our green forest nest, pay attention to what you say!"
He suddenly turned his eyes to the other tables on the second floor, fortunately, there was a lot of noise around, and everyone was drinking and laughing around their respective sect forces, and they didn't notice this way.
Boss Zhou lowered his voice and said: "Look at the people around, sitting at the front door are those old girls from the Jade Girl Sect, these people are not very good, and the slogan of killing all the negative people in the world is shouted louder than anyone else." What's more, if we who do all kinds of evil and pretend to kidnap women from good families, if they know the origin of the four of us, it is not the Jade Maiden who will send us out and castrate us first and then kill us. ”
Zheng Laosan's face was pale, Wu Laoer's face was pale, and Wang Laosi's eyes were shocked.
The three of them took a sip of wine at the same time to suppress their shock.
Boss Zhou swallowed his saliva and pointed to the other table and said: "Those Taoist priests are the next generation of the old heavenly master of Longhu Mountain, and it is rumored that there is nothing else in Longhu Mountain, and the immortals grabbed a handful." I look at the trip to the temple this time, and these little immortals of Longhu Mountain are very hopeful of winning the list. ”
"Don't you see the black-clothed boy with a hat sitting in the corner, don't look at his elder, his actual age is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He is the only son of the mountain lord of Lone Dragon Mountain, Lone Dragon Mountain has always been a single lineage, and the mountain lord Ning Renxiang is already a super master of the Five Realms Combination, he is extremely doting on this only son, and his skills are almost taught. So this kid in black is not only not small, but also has a lot of ability, and it is said that his temper is not small, let's not mess with him. ”
"Look at the five young swordsmen who are more arrogant than us sitting in the middle of the lobby next to us, they are a few young descendants of Yijian Villa, although they are young and arrogant, they also have arrogant capital. Especially the North Xiaojian in the middle, it is rumored that he has already passed the hurdle of guarding the heart of the Three Realms and stepped into the Four Realms Soul Suppression. This time, since Yijian Villa asked Bei Xiaojian to lead the team to the Heaven and Earth Divine Academy, he naturally recognized his strength. It seems that this time, the battle for the Xuanwu list has been lively. ”
......
For the next period of time, while Boss Zhou was drinking, he and the three good brothers around him continued to introduce the heroes and heroes gathered here in the human continent.
Hearing this, the three brothers nodded again and again, admiring, and praised Boss Zhou for being well-informed.
Zheng Laosan toasted Boss Zhou with a glass of wine extremely heroically, with an extremely convincing look on his face, he said: "I said Boss Zhou, I thought you only knew where the girls were the most beautiful and where the girls were the most tasteful, but you didn't want to be so familiar with this human sect, which really opened the eyes of the brothers." This trip to the seminary, the opportunity is rare, you want to take us to taste the taste of the chicks in the Yangtze River area. ”
Boss Zhou was already a little drunk, and he said with a smile: "It's easy to say, this trip to the Heaven and Earth Divine Courtyard is to have a lively time, but to appreciate the demeanor of the seven gods and goddesses. Hehe, I think the girls of the Jade Girl faction are good, if a few brothers are interested, we will use our old business to do it for them when we look for a chance. ”
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, the evil look in his eyes can't be hidden, and he laughs wantonly with the strength of the wine, and gradually drifts away with the wind outside the window.
The inn was noisy, and the voices between the tables came and went, and it was hard to hear.
The others looked at the four green forest men as if they were heroic in temperament, and they were overexcited when they came to this riverside town, and they were a little carried away, and they didn't care too much.
They drank and laughed, and they were lively and lively, continuing the hustle and bustle of the whole world.
At this time, the night was deep, and the distant sky was dark, only the sound of the wind was gusting, with a bit of chill and desertion across the river.
The lights in other parts of the ancient town have long since been extinguished, and the voices of people are quiet.
Only this inn is still brightly lit and with the warmth of a guest from a foreign land, and it may continue for a long time.
The innkeeper and the two fellows were already smiling and bent over.
They were busy upstairs and downstairs, counting money and delivering drinks to the second floor, accompanying these guests to get drunk and die.
And on the vast avenue outside the ancient town, there was a young figure walking forward step by step, also walking quietly towards the inn.
Lonely.
And firm.
