Wu Ling put away the pen and ink, lit the lantern, and put it into the ink river.

The flowing water never stopped, and the lanterns were sent away quickly.

When the lanterns disappeared, Wu Ling retracted his gaze and prepared to go back to the inn, but at this moment, a scream came from the corner not far away, "Dragon......!

"Dragons?"

Wu Ling looked for the sound, but the dragon did not see it, but saw many people screaming and scattering, trying to escape from the place where the movement spread, and at the same time he could hear the miserable screams.

It wasn't until they had escaped for a while, and were sure that there was no danger, that some people stopped and looked back.

Not long after, someone cried out, "Help!

Several city guards who had just walked by the side of Wuling heard the movement and drew their swords and ran towards the place where the incident occurred.

Wu Ling also followed with curiosity.

When I came to the place of the incident, I saw a young man in a green shirt lying on the ground, motionless. The city guard crouched down and reached out to probe the boy's nostrils. After a while, the city guard withdrew his hand, and when they looked at his face, everyone understood that the young man was dead.

Seeing that the young man's clothes were already wet and clinging to his body, and there were water stains everywhere on the ground around him, plus someone shouted that there was a dragon, Wuling couldn't help but think of what Zhu Chijing said at noon today.

Wu Ling frowned, "Is there really a dragon?"

Wu Ling turned to look at the Mo River, the water surface that originally seemed calm, at this moment, there were ripples, rippling on the water surface, obviously something fell into the river just now, and the movement was not small, so that the water splashed on the shore.

The city guard asked the few people around the boy, "Tell me what just happened!"

Several of them are not very old, and it seems that they should be with the dead teenager on the ground. After the incident, several people were frightened, and before they could leave, one person was already slumped on the ground in fright.

"Dragon! It's a dragon! A dragon just came out of the dragon ditch. ”

"That's right, it turns out that there really are dragons, it's terrifying. ”

"The dragon's body was pitch black, as thick as a tree, and only half of its body was exposed on the surface of the water, at least five or six feet, and its eyes alone were the size of lanterns. ”

Several people talked about what they had just seen, but none of them got to the point.

The guard asked, "Since you said you saw a dragon, how did the dragon kill him?"

After some inspection, the city guards did not find a wound on the dead boy, and the boy still had a temperature on his body, which should have just died. Looking at the boy's mouth and eyes, there was no sign of drowning. If it is drowned, there should be more water than saliva in the boy's mouth.

Judging by the characteristics exhibited by the dead teenager, it is difficult to know how he died.

The man who sat on the ground trembled and said, "The dragon took a breath, and Ah Yu died." ”

Took a breath?

This statement made many people frown.

According to this theory, the dragon is also too terrifying, and it can kill people just by taking a breath.

But think about it, after all, dragons can call the wind and rain.

The guards didn't quite believe what the boy said, and asked, "Then why are you all right, but he is the only one who is dead?"

Several people shook their heads and said, "We don't know either." ”

"Little whisper!

A gray-haired, skinny woman ran through the crowd, knelt on the ground and shook the young man's body and cried, "Xiaoyu, my son, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that the boy had not woken up for a long time, the woman shouted to the people around her, "Any of you who knows how to heal, save my son, please save me." As long as you save my son, I will be a cow and a horse. ”

The city guard paused and said, "Sister, let the mourning be good! ”

The woman's crying stopped abruptly.

The woman looked up at the crowd around her, and saw that everyone was looking at her with pity, and her tearful face opened her mouth to defend herself.

After a while, the couple laughed and said, "How could my son die, he was still eating with me just now, and he said that the tofu I cooked was delicious." ”

She glanced down at the young man in her arms, and said angrily: "Xiaoyu, wake up quickly, wake up quickly and show them, you are still alive and well." ”

It's just that a dead person can still come back to life.

The woman slapped the young man in the face, "Mother told you to wake up, did you hear it?" You won't wake up again, believe it or not, Mother will never allow you to go home again?"

The people around looked at this scene, all lowered their heads and remained silent.

The parting of life and death is the most uncomfortable to watch.

Especially the white-haired people send the black-haired people.

The woman cried loudly, "Xiaoyu, are you good to wake up, didn't you say, when you are named on the gold list, you will take your mother to the capital and eat all the delicious food in the capital, your mother is waiting, are you awake?"

"You're gone, what should you do if you leave your mother alone?"

"Your father left early, and before leaving, he told me to raise you no matter how hard and tired I am. You left like this, how can you tell your mother to see your father?"

"God, why is our family so miserable, and they still come to torture us. ”

The streets were full of cars, bustling and noisy, but now everything is still, and only the weeping of a woman remains.

The people around him also choked up unconsciously.

The world has just entered autumn, but the town of Fufeng at this moment is as cold as winter.

For most parents, family harmony and their children's growth, education, starting a family, and starting a business are all they hope for after marriage.

After the death of her husband, because she still has hope and responsibility, the woman is strong and alive.

No matter how hard and tired you are, you must raise your children to adulthood.

Working hard and living for the child day and night, as long as the child has the ability in the future, he feels that everything is worth it.

Now, the only hope to support the woman's life is gone.

The world has become a hell for her to live in, forcing her to escape.

"Aunt Zhang, don't be like this, if you are like this, your body will not be able to stand it. ”

One of the woman's neighbors came over and crouched down and hugged the woman's shoulder, "He doesn't want to see you like this." ”

The woman couldn't stop crying, her hair was still gray, but at this time, it seemed that all of them were white, "Xiaoyu, why do you say that our family is so miserable?

The girl who was called Xiaoyu choked up and said, "Heaven has never been fair. Either way, you've got us. ”

Aunt Zhang's suffering, as the neighbor's Xiaoyu, couldn't be clearer.

Needless to say, the daily housework of getting up early and feeling dark every day, carrying water, washing and cooking, going to the house to repair tiles, plowing the fields, picking dung and planting vegetables...... It's all on your own.

In order for Xiaoyu to live a better life, in addition to finishing the work of the family's ten acres of fields during the day, he also had to weave and sew clothes until late at night.

Usually there is anything delicious, but I am reluctant to eat it, so I have to leave it to Xiaoyu.

But even if it's so bitter, God still treats her like this.

"Corpse...... Corpse, look at his corpse. ”

In the crowd, someone pointed to the corpse in the woman's arms and shouted tremblingly

Wu Ling, who was in a complicated and heavy mood, looked up.

The boy's corpse had not yet had time to turn white, but it was beginning to turn black, and it was not slow. After a while, the boy's whole body had turned dark and began to dry up.

"It's ......"

Wu Ling was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Isn't this the same as what Zhu Chijing said, there are inexplicable dead people on the side of the Mohe River, who become dry corpses after death?

"How can this be......?

The woman cried helplessly, "God, why are you so miserable when everyone is dead?"

Wu Ling turned around and left, not daring to stay any longer, he was afraid that he couldn't hold back for a while, like the people around him, choked up, and cried silently.

Before Wu Ling had taken a few steps, a palm slapped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The little brother is really a lover." ”

Wu Ling looked back and found that the person who came was Yang Kai, a fellow in the bookstore.

Compared with his obscene face earlier, Yang Kai seemed to have encountered something happy today, with a little more smile on his face, and he looked a lot more arrogant, but his appearance was a little sloppy after all, and he looked a little different.

The scene of being pitted by this guy today, Wuling is still vivid.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

This time, Wu Lingxue was smart, and said directly: "I don't buy books!"

Yang Kai was stunned, and then said with a smile: "Little brother, you can't do this, people are not merry boys." ”

Wu Ling shook his head and said: "In addition to the romance of lingering in the wind and moon, there is also the romance of the book. It's all romantic, why are you a teenager in vain?"

Yang Kai sighed: "It's hard to fool a reader. ”

These readers, once they get their senses, can't fool around.

Wu Ling was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk too much to Yang Kai, so he said, "Brother, if you have anything, just tell me directly, I haven't had dinner yet!"

Yang Kai asked, "Why don't we go find an inn and sit down to eat and chat?"

Wu Ling hurriedly shook his head and said, "If you still have something, just say it directly." ”

Yang Kai's first feeling was that he was unreliable.

It looks like a particularly edible rice bucket, and when you go to eat with him, you will be designated to eat most of the meal. The key thing is that this guy looks like a rice bucket, Wu Ling is afraid that he will eat and run away secretly without paying, and then he will lose a lot of money.

Yang Kai said directly: "I heard that you are in the Heavenly Star Tower today, and you said something, 'The merits and demerits are determined by their own descendants, and the heroes just ask about the present dynasty.'" "What kind of mockery of that Du Qingjiao, is it true?"

Wu Ling stared at Yang Kai and nodded, not understanding why this guy asked this.

Yang Kai clapped his hands and said, "That's right, let's make a deal, right?"

Wu Ling glanced at this guy and said, "Brother, do you think you are so unclear, who will make a deal with you?"

Thinking that this guy was selling books, Wu Ling immediately reacted.

Most of this guy came to him to write erotic novels.

Wu Ling hurriedly added: "If you came to me to write a book, then you should be exempted!"

Yang Kai said with a smile: "Our bookstore only needs people who write about men and women, little brother, you don't seem to have experienced this kind of thing, you shouldn't have any experience in this area, even if you want to write to our bookstore, we may not accept it." ”

Wu Ling opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but eventually closed it.

He really didn't know what to refute.

"I won't tease you, I'll just say it!"

Yang Kai put away his smile and said, "Do you know what is the most precious thing in this town?"

Wu Ling was even more convinced of Yang Kai's unreliability.

It's good to say it directly, but it makes people scratch their heads and ask an irrelevant question.

Fortunately, he is still interested in this kind of problem.

Wu Ling thought for a while and said, "It's the town's prosperous humanity. ”

Because the town is prosperous, people in the town are born close to reading, and many things that seem impossible to outsiders about reading are taken for granted here.

For example, the master can take the students to take, paint, and study.

This phenomenon is very common in Fufeng Town, but in the eyes of people in other places, it is very incredible. In the eyes of outsiders, the master taught students to read and write, and they were only in the academy, so they could still go outside.

It is the prosperous humanity that has created everything in Fufeng Town today.

Wu Ling's answer made Yang Kai's heart go crazy.

He thought that Wu Ling would shake his head and say that he didn't know, after all, this was a very general question. The ghost knew that Wu Ling actually answered, and he answered very seriously, and after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with this answer.

The reader's focus is really different.

These are good.

Yang Kai didn't know how to talk about it anymore, he couldn't go and talk to Wuling about the humanities of Fufeng Town, and then bring the topic back, right?

If you talk about men and women, that's fine, he's doing it.

But if you want to talk about bullshit humanities, how can he understand.

Talking about this thing, I still want to get back to the topic, it's good not to be led by Wuling's nose.

Yang Kai pretended not to ask Wu Ling this question, and changed the subject: "How much do you know about Fufeng Town?"

In order not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and let Wu Ling say a strange answer again, Yang Kai added: "Do you know that Fufeng Town was once a place for immortals to practice?"

Wu Ling shook his head, becoming more and more unable to figure out what Yang Kai was going to say.

Seeing that Wu Ling shook his head to indicate that he didn't know, Yang Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In ancient times, there were immortals who settled here, and then left two things. These two things, called the Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter and the Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll, are also known as the people of us who have become the two masters of Fufeng. ”

"Us?"

Wu Ling noticed what Yang Kai was calling himself in his words, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why do you call him that?"

Yang Kai patted his forehead, Wu Ling's focus made people's minds collapse.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said, "You will slowly know this in the future, and it won't do you much good to know now." Now what you have to remember is that Fufeng Town has two things: the Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter and the Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll. ”

"And then?"

Wu Ling glanced at Yang Kai.

It was as if he had memorized that Fufeng Town really had these things.

However, what Yang Kai said did arouse his curiosity.

"Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter" and "Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll", these two names are full of mystery and make people sound unclear.

Yang Kai introduced: "The Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter is a set of swordsmanship, and the Sword Immortal Poetry Scroll, if nothing else, should be a collection of poems usually written by the immortals, which embodies the literary courage left by the immortals, in other words, the Wenyun Dao Fruit." As long as you scholars get the fruits of literature and fortune, and after you have achieved success, your pen will rise and fall, and your words will be the law. ”

Yang Kai looked at Wu Ling and said, "I need you to do me a favor, as long as you help me, I am very likely to obtain these two things, and when the time comes, we will divide these two things equally, I will take the Poetry Immortal Sword Chapter, and the Sword Immortal Poetry Volume will divide you." ”
