The young man Wu Zheng carefully hid the nightless jade plaque in his arms, and tiptoed to the Chen Ji pawn shop.

In front of Chen Kee's pawn shop, he looked around left and right to make sure that no one was following him, and then he planned to enter the pawn shop.

There are several streets from home to this side, and this side has never been peaceful, Wu Zheng is afraid that he will not be able to protect this jade plate, which is the ration of their family for several months, so he is naturally cautious everywhere.

Not to mention······ Wu Zheng felt that there was someone behind him, but whenever he looked back, he didn't even see a ghost.

When you are penniless, it seems that no one on the street wants to take care of you, and when you have beautiful jade, everyone on the street is like a bad person, coveting it.

Wu Zheng, who has been a thief for many years and is naturally weak-hearted, is extremely suspicious.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and just raised one foot, and before he could enter the store, a person suddenly appeared beside him.

The young man was handsome, dressed in brocade, with a sword behind his back, his hands around his chest, and his whole body leaning on the door frame of Chen Ji's pawnshop, squinting with a smile, and said: "This brother, the jade ornament in your hand looks a little familiar when you look down." ”

Wu Zheng swallowed his saliva, cold sweat flowed behind his back, he naturally recognized that the young swordsman in black and red brocade was the owner of the jade plate, and he also stole a money bag from him. I didn't expect to "meet" someone else in this Chen Ji pawn shop, it was really a blood mold that had poured for eight lifetimes.

Today's luck is not good, Wu Zheng thought.

But right now, he can only bite to death that this jade plate is his own object, and the other party has no evidence to prove that this jade plate was stolen by himself, even if it is a big matter and he is arrested and taken to court, he is not afraid of showing his feet.

Wu Zheng, who has been a thief for many years, has long been able to lie without changing his face and heartbeat.

After brewing the wording in his heart, Wu Zheng pretended to be impatient and said: "What is familiar or unfamiliar, don't get in the way!"

Li Zijin was not angry, and still said with a smile: "Brother Tai, don't get me wrong, what it means below, 'your jade plate' I like it very much, and I am willing to buy the jade card at a high price, since Brother Tai came to this pawn shop, he must also replace the jade card with silver taels, you might as well do this, Brother Tai, you go in first to inquire about the price, no matter how much silver the shopkeeper of this pawn shop makes, I am willing to pay double, what do you think?"

Wu Zheng didn't know why he was a thief, and his heart was weak.

Why did that young swordsman accompany himself here to "play on the spot"?

The jade plate was his lost property, why did he pretend not to know.

But Wu Zheng thought about it, even if there was another hidden truth in this matter, that young man was really willing to buy jade jewelry at double the price of the pawn shop?

In that case, it would be more than 100 taels of silver! It was enough for the second child to eat for more than half a year.

And with this family background, maybe you won't have to be a thief in the future, and you can go out to make a living.

After thinking about it, Wu Zheng said suspiciously: "Are you serious?"

The young swordsman smiled and nodded, spread a palm inside, and said, "There is no lie in the next place, brother, please." ”

Wu Zheng really raised his feet and stepped over the threshold and entered the Chen Ji pawn shop, he walked a few steps over, and felt that no one was following him, so he turned his head again, and saw that the young swordsman was still leaning on the door frame, and couldn't help but wonder: "If you don't come along, how do you know how much silver the pawn shop is bidding?"

The young man only smiled and said, "After you inquire about the price, come out and tell me, and I will give double the price you said." ”

The young man Wu Zheng was stunned, and then said no more, entered the house, and contacted the shopkeeper to inquire about the price.

The shopkeeper of the Chen Ji pawn shop, who has been in business for many years, has a good eye, although he does not know the true value of the jade card that does not sleep, and he does not understand that it is the fairy item of the mountain people, but he only needs to hold the jade, palm his eyes, and naturally know that it is a rare piece of beautiful jade.

Shopkeeper Chen offered one hundred and twenty taels of silver, Wu Zheng was pleasantly surprised, he never thought that the value of this jade plate was higher than he imagined.

Wu Zheng was almost about to sell it to Chen Ji's pawn shop, but he remembered that there was a teenager waiting outside the house, saying that no matter how much the pawn shop offered, he was willing to pay double.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng said to Shopkeeper Chen to consider it and leave the house.

The young swordsman in the black and red brocade robe had already closed his eyes by the door frame, hung his head, and began to doze off.

Wu Zheng walked up to him and hesitated, considering whether to tell the truth or secretly raise the price?

If you say one hundred and twenty taels of silver, the young man is willing to spend two hundred and forty taels to buy it, then what if you say more and tell him that the jade medal is worth one hundred and fifty taels, wouldn't the young man be willing to spend three hundred taels of silver to buy back the jade plate?!

Just when Wu Zheng was thinking about it in his heart, the young swordsman suddenly "woke up", saw Wu Zheng walking out with the jade plaque, and asked with a smile: "Have you asked for a good price?"

Wu Zheng didn't answer this question immediately, but asked, "You really don't have to go in and ask, it's all up to me to double?"

The young man said with a sincere look in his eyes: "I believe in you." ”

At this moment, even a young man who has been a thief for many years, Wu Zheng, who has long been "hard-hearted", is also a little moved.

"A hundred taels of silver. Wu Zheng said softly.

The jade plate was originally stolen by himself from others, and now that people are willing to buy it back at double the price, how can he still have the idea of raising the price?

Wu Zheng even erased the fraction of the twenty taels, thinking that the double of one hundred taels and two hundred taels of silver would be enough for the second child to eat for more than half a year.

Li Zijin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take two hundred taels with you, is there a rich village nearby?"

Wu Zheng said casually: "The pawn shop often costs hundreds of taels of silver, and occasionally there are transactions of gold bricks and treasures, and there is naturally a rich village nearby, which is not far from here." ”

Li Zijin snorted, "Lead the way." ”

The two of them came to the money village in Suifeng City one after the other, and Li Zijin went in alone, shouting to Wu Zheng to wait for a while, and there would be no less than two hundred taels of silver. The latter promised to come down.

He went in for a while, and really walked out with a big black bag, there were many people around, in and out, they couldn't help but look at the young man in brocade, and felt that the other party must be a big family, no, it must be a child of a family, otherwise how could he carry so many silver taels with him.

Wu Zheng, who had never seen how many taels of silver there were, swallowed his saliva, and almost drooled, the burden looked big and heavy, it was all white silver.

Li Zijin asked, "Is it just trading here, or is it?"

After speaking, the young man gave Wu Zheng a look, and there were many eyes around, staring at the two of them.

Li Zijin doesn't matter, if someone dares to snatch something from him without long eyes, then the other party had better be a monk who is more than two realms higher than himself, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't even know how to die.

However, Wu Zheng looked at his weak body, except that his feet were faster than ordinary people, there was nothing special about it, to deal with this guy, he didn't need a qi refiner or a martial artist at all, even if he was a tall and strong man, he could easily knock Wu Zheng down.

Wu Zheng hesitated for a moment, and decided to find a no-one place to trade, which would be safer. After all, wealth is not exposed, lest others have evil thoughts and become interested in wealth.

Li Zijin followed, Wu Zheng took him to an alley very close to his home, there are quite few people living here, most of them are closed, and there is no bustle to see on the street, so there are few pedestrians, and there are few people.

Li Zijin took the lead in throwing the burden on the ground, raised his chin at him, and said, "You count first." ”

"No need. Wu Zheng shook his head and handed the nightless jade plate to Li Zijin.

The young swordsman took the jade plaque, happily tied it back to his waist, and then watched Wu Zheng lift the burden, touched it casually, and found that something was wrong, he immediately opened the burden and took a look, and then frowned: "Why is it all broken silver?"

Originally, the silver taken out by the money bank should be in complete shape and large. However, the silver taels in this baggage were all broken into shape, and he could hardly find a single piece of silver intact, so he naturally felt strange.

Li Zijin asked rhetorically: "A family that even has to save porridge to drink, suddenly can take out the whole silver overnight." Why, I'm afraid people won't know that you've made a windfall?"

After Wu Zheng heard this, he was ashamed, thinking that the young swordsman was indeed thinking about himself, but he was a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but he was suspicious of him.

Feeling that he was really shameless to face the young man, he was ashamed in his heart, Wu Zheng said goodbye and was about to leave in a hurry.

I didn't think that Li Zijin called him and said softly: "Your name is Wu Zheng, right." ”

The young man was stunned and didn't dare to look back.

The young man behind him said in a soft voice, "In the future, don't be a thief." ”

Wu Zheng turned back suddenly, and the alley was empty.

Only a gust of spring breeze blows across the face.

————

The courtyard door was gently pushed open.

There was only one little girl with pigtails left in the courtyard, who was still busy washing dishes.

She stepped on the small bench and stood on tiptoe, and when she heard the creaking of the wooden door behind her, the little girl stopped what she was doing and turned back.

"Coming back?"

Wu Zheng's face was full of spring, with a big burden in his arms, and immediately after entering the courtyard, he turned around and closed the courtyard door, tiptoed over, pulled the hand of the little girl with pigtails, and led her into the house.

There was a wooden bed in the room, with a row of younger brothers and sisters lying vertically, a few blankets and two futons on the ground, and several children also slept.

It was almost dusk, and they went to bed early.

Because only when you fall asleep can your stomach not be hungry easily.

Sleeping at sunset is an unwritten rule in this big family.

Except for the eldest who "earns money" outside all day, and the second child who is busy and can't sleep so early, the other dozen or so children all go to bed before dusk, and they have survived several cold winters together by relying on this method that is not a solution.

Fortunately, now that winter has gone to spring, the hard days are finally coming to an end.

The little girl with pigtails put her index finger to her lips and reminded, "Shhh ”

Wu Zheng nodded lightly and whispered to her, "Second brother, look, what is this?"

After speaking, the young man untied the knot in his mouth.

A large patch of broken silver with white flowers is too many to count.

One big and one small, two guys, sitting in front of the window, staring at a burden in the fading daylight.

It seems that the things contained in that bag are more beautiful than the green mountains and green waters, spring flowers and autumn moons.

They looked at each other silently for a long time.

The little girl asked, "How much is this?"

Wu Zheng smiled and stretched out two fingers and whispered, "Two hundred taels." ”

The little girl with pigtails was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to look at Wu Zheng and asked, "Isn't it only possible to exchange seventy or eighty taels of silver?

Wu Zheng didn't mention that a young swordsman spent double the price to buy a jade plate, he didn't want the second child to worry, so he only said that he looked away, and the shopkeeper of Chen Ji's pawn shop said that this jade was a rare jade, and the price was naturally high.

The little girl with pigtails said stupidly: "Two hundred taels of silver, enough for a year, and it's still a meal of fish and meat, not white porridge!"

Wu Zheng nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, you can also add a few more bedding to the house, add a bed, the third and fourth are too wet to sleep on the ground, and they have been yelling about back pain recently." ”

The little girl's eyes lit up and said, "You can also buy sugar gourds for the sixth child to eat, he has been hungry for a bunch of sugar gourds for three years." ”

The young man also smiled: "Lao Jiu's windmill, we can also buy it back for him secretly, and give him a surprise when the time comes." ”

"I'm running out of rice at home. The little girl suddenly remembered this.

"Buy, let's buy him more than a dozen rice jars first, and then give him a dozen stone rice in the yard!" Wu Zheng waved his hand, saying that now that our family has a thick foundation, buying rice is a trivial matter!

"Ah, you have to move back and forth many, many times?" the little girl with pigtails shook her braids and tilted her head.

Wu Zheng cocked his thumb and poked his chest twice, looking heroic, put down the cruel words, and said, "It's all on me!"

One big and one small, smiling from ear to ear, chatting about what things to add to the house with all this silver, until the moonlight rises, and then they are too tired to speak.

It's just that neither of them mentioned putting away the bag.

They all wanted to stare at the white silver for a little longer.

Because, at this moment, those white flowers in their eyes are not just silver.

It's hope.

A ray of fire that can help them survive in this cold world.

A small dark room, lit without candles.

————

At dusk, Li Zijin returned to Buzhuang, and saw the white-clothed girl with a hosta squatting outside the door of Buzhuang, holding a few clothes in her arms, as well as a few semi-finished silks, she was looking at the ground, the feet of people coming and going, stunned.

"I'm sorry, Hongshao, for keeping you waiting. Li Zijin walked quickly to the girl's side and squatted down with her.

The girl raised her head, the haze on her face was swept away, and she instantly smiled again, and when she heard her senior brother's apology, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, Hongshao squatted here, and saw a lot of ants, they were lined up, carrying rice on their backs, and from this side of the street, they moved the rice to the other side of the street, and after a while, they climbed back from the opposite side of the street empty-handed." But this time, there were a lot of ants missing. ”

The young swordsman was distressed, he had been away for too long. Otherwise, how could the little junior sister be idle to watch the ants move food.

He looked at the girl apologetically, found the silk in her arms, and was about to ask a question, but Hong Shao spoke first: "Hong Shao bought two changes of clothes, and gave my senior brother two pieces of silk in good condition, but the store said that you are not there, there is no way to tailor it, and I can't bear to miss them, so I bought them for my senior brother first." By the way, I also went to the bookstore on the opposite street and bought a copy of "Ingenuity", which talks about tailoring skills, and when Hong Shao learns it, he will make clothes for his senior brother by himself, okay?"

Li Zijin was speechless, only smiled, nodded slightly, and slapped her head.

How could it be bad.

With such a little sister by her side, it couldn't be better.

In the world, how can there be a better little sister than Hong Shao.

What the young man didn't know was that in the eyes of the girl in white, there was no better senior brother in the world than his Li Zijin.

I don't recognize it.

Wind Thunder City.

In the Patriarch Hall, Sect Master Mo Yan hovered a flying sword in the center of his eyebrows, which was the natal flying sword of Sect Master Mo, Zangfeng.

In addition to his extremely high swordsmanship, Sect Master Mo is more good at astrology and divination, and likes derivation.

Today, Mo Yan deduced that seven days later would be the day of his tribulation.

Mo Yan was afraid that he would not be able to defeat the demons in his heart, and he would be destroyed in the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, so he planned to dissolve the army in Wind Thunder City, destroy the physical body, and make the Yuan Shen fall into reincarnation, reincarnate, and re-cultivate.

Not everyone in the world has the opportunity to cross the catastrophe, if you succeed, you will mention a realm, and if you fail, you will die, and if you are unlucky, you will end up with a body and a god and a dead body.

Only the Qi Refiners above the Jindan Earth Immortal had the opportunity to survive the tribulation, and the tribulation that each person endured was also different.

Some Qi Refiners need to survive the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, after the tribulation, ignore the bottleneck, and go straight to the first realm, if the mountain top cultivator of the Ten Realms succeeds in the Tribulation, it will be directly into the eleventh realm, the highest among the Qi Refiners, and can fly to the immortal realm.

Some qi refiners need to spend their hearts and demons, it may be a child-daughter relationship decades ago or even a hundred years ago, it may be the resentful eyes of the deceased when they kill for the first time, or it may be the guilt of living up to their loved ones.

The difficulty of the Heart Demon Tribulation is even far greater than that of the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation.

There are two ways to cross the tribulation, one requires the physical body to be incomparably strong and tough to resist the nine clouds and thunder.

On the other hand, you need to be strong enough to be seamless, invulnerable, and have no weaknesses in order to survive the heart tribulation.

However, Mo Yan, the sect master of Wind Thunder City, Mo Lao's sect master was extremely unlucky, so bad that he calculated that after seven days, he would have both the Heart Demon Tribulation and the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.

This calamity is equivalent to the declaration of "Heavenly Dao", Mo Yan cannot fly in this life.

Maybe it's not enough luck, maybe it's not enough merit and good karma, maybe it's to repay the debts of past lives. It's all possible.

If Mo Yan insists on resisting the two calamities of the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation, it is very likely that he will die in the physical and mental tribulations, and his body and spirit will be destroyed.

After much consideration, he finally decided to take matters into his own hands.

After the physical body is eliminated, the primordial spirit falls into reincarnation, reincarnated, and cultivates again.

Beside Mo Yan, there were three old men standing.

One is the chief swordsmith of Wind Thunder City, Wen Yan.

One is the head of Wind Thunder City, Yang Kaiji.

The other is the chief worshipper of the Ancestor Hall of Wind Thunder City, Lin Chengtian.

The solution of the Qi refining soldier can eliminate karma, demons, and cause and effect in this life. But all the cultivation realms that have been attained so far have also turned into nothingness.

If you are reincarnated, you will also lose all your memories.

But there is a way, the continuation of the dust charm.

At the time of the military liberation, the birth date and name of the person who was released by the military are written on the dust charm, and the person who is to be reincarnated by the military is only to find that person and burn the dust charm in front of him, so that he can restore the memory of his previous life.

Although he can't restore his cultivation realm, he has already learned from the past, and even if he starts all over again, he is still much faster than others.

After all, it's just a road that has been walked, and it has been revisited.

Mo Yan said in a deep voice: "After my army is dismissed, Yang Kaiji will temporarily take the position of the sect master, and Wind Thunder City will not participate in any battles other than the battle of victory, and how to measure the scale with Da Xuan's side is fully controlled by Yang Kaiji." The position of the head of the law was taken over by Lin Chengtian, who was originally the chief worshipper, and without breaking the rules of the ancestors, the door rules of a wind and thunder city were handed over to Lin Chengtian. Externally, you can't claim that I have been dismissed, just let it out, saying that I, Old Man Mo, have traveled through the mountains and rivers, and this plan can protect Wind Thunder City for ten years. Ten years later, if anyone has any doubts, they will say that I have not been in retreat for a short time, and this plan can be delayed for another ten years. Twenty years later, my Wind Thunder City has its own sword immortal that stands up to the sky and the earth, and I should provoke Wind Thunder City with one shoulder. ”

When the old sect master spoke, he thought in his heart that this person was a young sword immortal who was as gentle as jade, with a pure heart and excellent swordsmanship, and he was a well-deserved pillar among the young generation of Wind Thunder City.

I believe that in less than 20 years, that young descendant will be able to shine in the pride of thousands of days.

The legacy is independent and peerless.

Lin Chengtian's expression was solemn, and he respectfully said to Mo Yanzuo: "Abide by the decree of the sect master, Chengtian will do his best, do his best for the Wind Thunder City, go to the soup and go to the fire, and do not give up." We will definitely live up to the expectations of the sect master!"

Mo Yan nodded, very satisfied.

Yang Kaiji waved at the old sect master and said: "Kaiji thinks that there is a more suitable candidate for the position of sect master, Master Wen is a highly respected person, how dare Kaiji go beyond the bounds." ”

Wen Yan shook his head and said: "The old man has no intention of trivial matters in the sect, he only wants to concentrate on forging swords, and he doesn't like to be entangled in complicated affairs." ”

Mo Yan also nodded and said, "Yes, I have been friends with Brother Wen for decades, and I know that he does not want to be in this position." What's more, if you open up your virtue, everyone knows it, so why should you be arrogant. ”

Yang Kaiji couldn't hold it back, and said with a wry smile: "Kaiji is scared······"

Mo Yan smiled angrily: "Why, is it possible that this sect master still has to kneel down and beg you before he is willing to temporarily take the position of sect master?"

"Don't dare!" Yang Kaiji buried his head lower, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Kaiji agreed." ”

Mo Yan said with satisfaction: "Okay, good, so good." ”

Wen Yan wanted to speak and stopped, but finally just shook his head and sighed.

Mo Yan said: "Brother Wen, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

The chief sword-forging master of Wind Thunder City thought about it, looked at the old friend beside him, and said with emotion: "Life is in the world, like a white horse passing by, I miss you and I when we came to Wind Thunder City hand in hand, but in the green years, looking back, it has been nearly a hundred years. ”

Mo Yan and Wen Yan are friends who are irreversible, and when they part, they are naturally reluctant.

The old sect master suddenly smiled and said: "Life in the world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat." In this life, the old man was greedy for a lot of fun, and after he entered the realm of distraction, he abandoned his cultivation. In terms of feelings, he has failed many women, and even the heart demon love tribulation and the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation are coming. The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant. ”

In the end, Mo Yan smiled: "It's okay, it's just starting all over again." ”

Before the words fell, a dust continuation talisman flew out of Mo Yan's sleeve, and he smiled: "There are no regrets in this life, the military solution is here, friends, see you in the next life." ”

Yang Kaiji couldn't hold back and said, "Congratulations to the sect master." ”

Lin Chengtian said with tears in his eyes: "Congratulations to the sect master." ”

"Mo Lao is not ashamed, don't reincarnate too far, let's find it?" Wen Yan scolded with a smile.

That Mo Yan only laughed wildly, put his fingers together, pinched the sword technique, and led the natal flying sword Zang Feng to cut off his own head.

After the blood was sprinkled in the Patriarch's Hall, the flying sword Zangfeng shattered on its own and turned into powder.

Wen Yan, the chief swordsmith of Wind Thunder City, couldn't bear to let his old friend's beloved flying sword pass away, and used his supreme supernatural power to lure those powders into his sleeves, planning to spend several years to reforge the flying sword for his old friend.

A young sword immortal was sitting on the clouds of Wind Thunder City, and the sword moves in his mind were changing.

Suddenly, I saw a star slowly falling in the north, and I glanced at it in disbelief, and then the human sword became one, turning into a sword light, which was more urgent than electricity, and galloped away.

Not everyone in the world can see the fall of the stars, only the people closest to them can just catch a glimpse of the immortal's death.

Until the stars finally fell, the man and the sword were divided into two, Wen Nian stood on the sword, looked at the position that had been "vacant" in the northern night, and muttered in disbelief: "The master has solved the ······"

This year, one of the top ten sects in the world, Wind Thunder City, the sect master Mo Yan, was released to the world.
