Volume 1 Sunset Harvest Chapter 74 In front of the city under the mountain
The time of the practitioners passes very quickly, and this is not gossip.
It's the real thing.
Gu Meng wanted to eat the fish on the mountain, but he never thought that the stupid fish he looked at on weekdays would be so powerful, just the fish tail pumped into his face, which made his face swollen for more than a month.
In the past month or so, Gu Meng has been on that face, I don't know how many times he has been laughed at by the two senior sisters, Gu Meng is also very helpless, and wants to take revenge again, but he knows that these fish are not something that he, a sword cultivator of the third realm, can deal with.
At this time, he knew why Luo Xue wanted to steal fish, he was going to steal the fish that Chang Zhizhen had grilled, instead of choosing to catch a live fish by himself to get it himself.
Fortunately, after more than a month, the swelling on his face has subsided, which has not affected his appearance.
He is still the good boy who was born very good-looking, affectionate and righteous!
For the trial at the end of autumn, Gu Meng made a lot of preparations, and in the time after he failed to steal the fish, he calmed down and made up all the loopholes in his realm, of course, it was impossible to find them all, but it would always be of some benefit to his own realm.
Without the remote letter-writing guidance of Gu Dao Zhenren, Gu Meng could only rely on himself.
The days of checking and filling in the gaps were also a little boring, so Gu Meng would go to see his own sword star every night, the Gengxin sword star hanging high in the sea of stars, exuding white light, as usual, that sword star was still the most special one in the sea of stars.
The days passed day by day, and it didn't take long for the sound of cicadas to sound outside the bamboo building, and the cicadas did not appear for long before they disappeared.
Autumn is coming.
Gu Meng stood up from the bamboo building, and Senior Sister Ah Sang was already outside the bamboo building.
Senior Sister Zheshan is a gray dress that has not changed for thousands of years, and she looks like a Taoist aunt of a certain Taoist temple.
Surprisingly, another senior sister, Luo Xue, did not appear outside the bamboo building, and Gu Meng glanced at Ah San, who knew Gu Ming's question.
"There is a saying called giving up, reluctant, even more reluctant when you see it, if the junior sister comes, it will be even more uncomfortable. ”
Gu Meng smiled bitterly and said, "It's not to send you to death, why bother?"
Ah Sang said flatly: "It's not too much to say, not everyone who went to the imperial capital in previous years can come back alive. ”
Gu Meng opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he would not go, but he thought that he had already agreed, so he gave up, so he just sighed and said, "Let's go." ”
......
......
Su Su also had to leave the mountain to go to the imperial capital.
It was still his master who took him there, but for his safety, two other uncles would also accompany him, including Wu Qingshui.
Standing in front of the mountain gate, Su Su looked at the mountain peaks hidden behind the clouds and mist in the distance, and did not move for a long time.
The old man in Mai was not in a hurry, according to the speed of sword cultivation, from Guijian Pavilion to the imperial capital, it would take about a day or two, not to mention that Su Su would not leave at this time, and he would be able to stand here for ten days and half a month.
It's just that two of the three are actually very clear about this little guy's abnormal behavior.
The old man in Mai didn't talk about these things, because he felt that there was no need, so only Wu Qingshui opened his mouth and smiled: "Little thief Su, the person who is waiting for didn't come, it's uncomfortable." ”
Su Su stood in place, he didn't expect his thoughts to be known by Wu Qingshui, his cheeks were slightly red, and he quibbled: "I just can't bear the sect, this trip to the imperial capital, maybe it will be delayed for a long time, running around, very tired." ”
Wu Qingshui sneered: "If the old man is not mistaken, a long time ago, you kid said that the outside is much better than the inside of the sect, why, now, you feel that you were wrong?"
"At that time, I was young and ignorant, but now that I have grown up, I have discovered the goodness of the sect, why, can't it?" Su Su retorted solemnly.
Wu Qingshui sighed and said: "The old man doesn't talk much to you, a clever little guy, in a word, do you want Uncle Shi to help you and let someone send you?"
Su Su turned his head, shook his head and said, "Someone, gone." ”
Wu Qingshui still had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything more, and was about to leave, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure appearing in the mountain gate in the distance, so he smiled and said to the old man in Mai: "People, I just can't talk about it, senior brother, do you say?"
The old man in Mai smiled, and just walked down the mountain, breaking the idea of standing up right here.
Wu Qingshui patted the shoulder of the other junior brother and said with a smile: "Hurry up, don't delay that kid." ”
The elder who had been concentrating on cultivation in the mountain gate and had not been out of the Sword Pavilion for many years was stunned, and did not immediately understand the meaning of his senior brother, but he did not hesitate, and followed Wu Qingshui down the mountain road.
The three elders walked along the mountain path, and disappeared in just a moment.
Su Su scolded secretly, but he didn't catch up.
After the voice came behind him, he pretended to walk down the mountain, but unexpectedly, a voice sounded behind him, "Senior Brother Su." ”
Su Su turned around with a surprised face and looked at the woman who was not much older than him, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
The woman in the green shirt glanced at Su Su and frowned, "Senior Brother Su didn't ask knowingly, if he hadn't waited for me, why would he have waited here for so long?"
Although it was Su Su who had such a thought, but after it was revealed, he also looked a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, said two words of me, and there was no follow-up.
The young man's mind is actually very easy to guess, it just depends on whether the two people on both sides are willing to pierce the window paper.
"Senior Brother Su, I heard Uncle Zhang's uncle say that this trip to the imperial capital is also very dangerous, you have to be very careful......"
The woman hesitated, not at all like she had been on the mountain.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I'll be fine, since Uncle Shi has put this burden on me, I will definitely not let him down. ”
Su Su patted his chest, very serious.
"I'm not in charge, I don't care about these things, I'm only worried about whether you can come back. ”
Su Su was stunned for a moment, and also smiled: "No problem." ”
The woman nodded, and then there was a long silence.
Su Su raised his head and said, "It's not early, I'm leaving, I'm going back to see my senior sister." ”
The woman hummed and didn't speak.
Su Su took two steps, then turned his head and said, "I'm really leaving." ”
The woman didn't speak.
"Then I'm really leaving. Su Su was a little deflated, and the whole person had no spirit.
"Senior Brother Su. ”
The woman shouted.
Su Su was overjoyed, and before he could react, the other party stuffed something towards him, and after taking it, before Su Su had time to look at it, the other party patted him on the shoulder, "Live well, you're not here, who am I bullying?"
Before the words fell, she walked towards the mountain gate, and it turned out that she would not leave Su Su a chance to speak.
Su Su came back to his senses and glanced at the thing in his hand, which turned out to be a peace charm.
Hehe smiled, Su Su looked at the back of his senior sister, and he didn't know how happy he was.
What he didn't know was that the three elders who had gone down the mountain before were actually looking at him from a short distance at this moment, Wu Qingshui looked at this scene and said with a smile: "This little guy is really interesting, I see, it won't be long before I can find a Taoist partner, in one point, it is better than me and you, senior brother." ”
The old man in Mai smiled and said: "A genius like Su'er, and he doesn't even have any pure yang sword skills, it is natural to find a Taoist partner." ”
This is obviously exposing the short, Wu Qingshui said angrily: "Senior brother, can you not be so yin and yang weird when you speak!"
The old man in Mai smiled: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say, I forgot that my junior brother practiced this." ”
As they were talking nonsense, Su Su also ran here, and after a glance at this bastard boy, Wu Qingshui didn't talk much nonsense, just grabbed Su Su's collar, rose up with his sword, and swept towards the sky.
The old man in Mai smiled wordlessly, followed by two sword lights.
Until the salty mall.
......
......
In autumn, the imperial capital called Xian Mall is also like the rest of Nanling, the temperature plummets and it becomes cold.
There were quite a few pedestrians on the streets, but everyone was dressed in thick clothes, and it was okay for a while, but in the winter, if it snowed a few more times, a few people might freeze to death.
Although the Great Qi Dynasty is said to be peaceful, the Great Qi Emperor is also a Ming monarch, and he has never been tyrannical since he ascended the throne, as for the war, that is, the battle of the Southern Expedition that was only launched once a few years ago, it is not to say that it hurts the muscles and bones, and it does not even scratch the skin.
But even so, it is inevitable that there will be frozen bones on the road.
No matter how peaceful it is, everyone can afford to eat a full meal and drink hot porridge?
This is especially true in Xicheng, where the poor are concentrated.
At this moment, a carriage passed by Xicheng, the carriage was not precious, but the general wood was used, and the curtain was not made of good fabric, and it did not look luxurious.
But the one in the carriage is a first-class nobleman in this Daqi.
Prince Yu.
Prince Yu sat in the carriage, opened the curtains, glanced at the low room outside, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
The Confucian saw the expression of Prince Yu, but did not speak, there are indispensable poor people in the world, no matter how powerful Daqi is, it is destined to be like this.
The carriage slowly headed towards the west gate, and Prince Yu saw that the low house was far away from him, so he put down the curtain, thought about it and said: "It seems that everyone in this world is the same, they are all looking forward to climbing up, no one is satisfied with the position they are in, even the father and the emperor are not willing to be only such a lord of Nanling." ”
Confucius smiled and said: "Your Majesty has always been ambitious, besides, this kind of thing is not something that Your Majesty has thought about alone throughout the ages, but after Daning fell apart, who has done this?"
Prince Yu smiled indifferently, this kind of thing can't be said much, it's not easy to say it here.
The carriage came to the city gate, and after the city guard soldier checked, he was directly released, went out of the city, and walked a few miles further, a pavilion appeared next to the official road, the carriage stopped, and the prince of Yu went down.
The Confucian followed.
Emperor is no other place, any cultivator in Nanling, when he comes to Xian Mall, is not allowed to fly into the city, and the cultivators who really dare to act like this are afraid that after entering the city, they will be completely killed by those cultivators and masters within half an hour.
Even the head of a certain great sect is like that, after all, no matter how powerful he is, he is not as powerful as that Great Qi Emperor.
Therefore, most of the cultivators who came to participate in the trial this time would stop a few miles outside the Xian Mall.
In the previous letter from Prince Yu to Zheshan, he said that he would meet Gu Meng here.
Walking into the pavilion and looking into the distance, Prince Yu looked solemn, he had the lowest status among the princes, if he couldn't win the first place this time, he would really retreat again and again.
On the contrary, if we can win, we may have an opportunity.
And the opportunity to win is on Gu Ming.
Thinking of this, Prince Yu's body trembled slightly.
He looked into the distance, his eyes full of anticipation.
At this moment, a cyan talisman appeared in the sky in front of him.
