"Did you know that there is a worm in this world called Scales?"

Huo Wang stopped.

Sideways asked.

"I don't know. What a weird name. ”

Chu Kuo asked.

"The scale-mediator has been dormant for fifty years before he emerges. If it comes out, it will turn into a colorful butterfly, which is gorgeous and unique. If it doesn't come out, it will be long and flowery, and it will be gorgeous and unique. ”

Huo Wang said.

"Anyway, it's a gorgeous peerless after all!"

Chu Kuo said nonchalantly lying on the bed.

Huo Wang did not answer.

Instead, he pushed open the door and walked out.

When I went downstairs, I was greeted by the shopkeeper of Xiangteng Inn.

"Why isn't His Royal Highness the King of Dingxi angry when he is so humiliated?"

The shopkeeper asked.

"You mean I'm thick-skinned?"

Huo Wang asked rhetorically.

"Don't dare. ”

The shopkeeper bowed down and said humbly.

"I'm not thick-skinned. On the contrary, he loves face more than anyone else. However, I just don't care about the extremely heavy and serious ethics of the Tsunade in the eyes of mortals. ”

Huo Wang said.

After speaking, he left the Xiangteng Inn.

The shopkeeper looked at Huo Wang's distant figure, obviously extremely emotional in his heart.

But in the end, nothing was said again.

Just instructed Xiao Er.

According to the request of King Dingxi, he sent another table of wine to Chu Kuo in the evening.

Chu Kuo was lying on the bed alone, looking at the sunlight outside the window, and he felt a little sleepy.

His instincts told him that he wasn't drinking too much.

But the reality is always the opposite of intuition.

He drank too much.

The wine in Jiying Town is always stronger than elsewhere.

It's like the people at the border will be more fierce than the Central Plains.

What people drink what wine.

The wine in Jiying Town is just worthy of the temperament of the people here.

Chu Kuo is an outsider.

So he didn't know what the wine was like here.

I don't know what kind of temperament this person has.

But he didn't care.

Chu Kuo is Chu Kuo.

How much alcohol you can drink elsewhere, how much alcohol you have to drink in Jiying Town.

No matter how strong the wine is, it is still generally drunk.

No matter how fierce this person is, as long as he provokes him, he will still die.

It's just that his sword won't come out of its sheath easily.

As soon as his sword comes out, it must be famous all over the world.

The story told by Huo Wang.

He understood.

No matter what was waiting for him in Dingxi Wangcheng, it was a celebration wine, or a sword.

He would kill Si Feng all the same.

In a trance, he fell asleep.

I also had a dream

He hadn't dreamed in a long time.

Or rather, he never dreamed anything else after getting the sword in his hand.

Especially about women's dreams.

But before that, he had women.

and even became a parent.

But they have no children.

If you don't have children, even if you become a parent.

A home will also look empty.

No one knew that he was actually from Monan.

South of the Pingnan Domain.

The land of the barbarians of Monan.

But he wasn't a barbarian.

Barbarians are extremely xenophobic.

An ordinary person wants to survive in Monan.

Not only must you have great ability, but you must also have a rich heart.

Of course, Chu Kuo has the ability.

But no matter how you look at it, he is not a person with a rich heart.

However, he can still have a foothold in Monan.

This is indeed a miracle.

But he did.

There are always exceptions.

In Mo Nan.

Chu Kuo is an exception.

His parents died very young.

There are no brothers and sisters either.

It's all the same, and it's comfortable to live.

Until one day.

A woman came to his door.

The woman wasn't pretty.

But it's extremely masculine.

is even a little more like a man than Chu Kuo.

He rode a horse and passed by Chu Kuo's door.

He had several sword wounds on his body.

At that time, Chu Kuo didn't understand what kind of wound it was.

All he knew was that the woman was bleeding constantly.

And the breath is dying.

The rest of the story is very old-fashioned.

It's so old-fashioned that storytellers don't bother to use it as their own words. This woman naturally became Chu Kuo's woman.

When her injuries heal.

Chu Kuo asked him where he was from.

Because he has never seen an outsider.

I've never been far away.

The furthest place I've ever been.

It is to walk through two Gobi deserts to fetch water and eat.

The woman told him.

I came from the rivers and lakes.

Somehow.

When Chu Kuo heard these two words, his eyes suddenly burst into a light.

It's like the poplar in the desert.

Between life and death, it still stands.

Naturally, the woman also saw the abnormality in his gaze.

He told Chu Kuo.

It's better not to ask for rivers and lakes.

If you go, you may never come back.

Chu Kuo nodded.

After all, it was his own woman who said it.

He didn't know much about the rivers and lakes.

Don't nod your head.

Is there any other response?

But his woman is not stupid.

He sighed slightly.

The woman knew when he said the word Jianghu.

Chu Kuo is already a Jianghu person.

It's the person who once desperately wanted to escape.

Eventually, the woman died.

I don't know if it's too melancholy.

Or a recurrence of an old injury.

But Chu Kuo was not so sad.

It was as if he had known that such a day would come his way.

Chu Kuo carried the corpse of his woman on his back and walked across the two Gobi Desert.

Bury her where she fetched water.

Then Chu Kuo stayed there for two days and two nights.

But not a word was spoken.

Just kept drinking water.

The water seemed to have melted into his woman's blood and bones.

On the second night.

Chu Kuo understood one thing.

That is, drinking too much water, but it is more uncomfortable than drinking too much wine.

But he hadn't drunk alcohol at the time.

This is also an afterthought.

Drinking too much water.

The pain in the abdomen was unbearable.

I want to vomit though.

But I can't spit it out.

I can only lie down so straight and straight.

It's like his posture in Jiying Town, Xiangteng Inn now.

Wait until the third day is bright.

The sun was shining for a long time.

He didn't know how many times he was sweating.

Only then did he relieve the discomfort of being full of water.

Chu Kuo had already heard from his parents.

As long as you keep walking along the big star on your head, you can get out of Mo Nan and reach the Pingnan Royal Domain.

Whether the Pingnan Royal Domain is a river or a lake, he doesn't know.

But not here.

So Chu Kuo looked at the big star on the night of the third day and went on the road.

There was nothing on his body except for two sheepskin bladders.

It's really self-made.

The Gobi Desert is deserted.

In the afternoon, the heat is steaming.

There are a lot of hallucinations in front of people's eyes.

During the day, he tried to find shade to avoid the harsh sun.

At night, he kept going in the direction indicated by the big star.

He didn't know where the motivation came from.

Just walked tirelessly.

But his luck was good.

It is always possible to come across an oasis shortly after the water bladder is empty.

The so-called oasis.

It's just a puddle of water and a few plants and trees.

But in the Gobi Desert of Monan, this is the hope of life.

There is no place for oases.

The ground of the Gobi is crisscrossed by ravines.

It's like his woman's skin.

His woman told him that it was all the mark of the rivers and lakes.

When ordinary people see such an imprint, they will definitely shudder at the rivers and lakes.

But Chu Kuo is not.

The more a woman talks, the more interested he becomes.

The more you want to go to the rivers and lakes.

Chu Kuo has never completed this dream completely.

Although he didn't know how to finish it.

Is it out of Monan?

Or do you find the rivers and lakes?

When I woke up, it was already dark.

The moon has not yet risen.

Chu Kuo got up.

I saw that a table of wine had been re-placed on the table.

Chu Kuo laughed and walked to the table.

I drank all the wine, pot after jug.

People who are originally drunk need to drink water most after they wake up.

Chu Kuo was also very thirsty.

But he didn't drink water.

He only drinks alcohol.

The more you drink, the thirstier you get, and the more you thirst, the more you drink.

Finally, this table was drunk by Chu Kuo.

He was drunk again.

So I don't feel thirsty anymore.

At this time.

The moon had risen outside the window.

He drank all his wine and drew his sword.

He waved heavily at the moon.

It was as if the moon was going to be split in half.

And then it was like this, and he didn't even take the scabbard.

With his sword in hand, he went out of the room and went downstairs.

"But the guest officer is leaving?"

Xiao Er saw Chu Kuo going downstairs, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Then the Prairie Royal Court, how do you go?"

Chu Kuo asked.

A mouthful, full of wine.

"The guest officer has drunk so much wine, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get there. ”

Xiao Er said politely.

"What's the point of having too much wine?"

Chu Kuo asked.

Xiao Er couldn't answer.

But he still stood humbly beside Chu Kuo.

"Although the small ones can't be said to be the amount of alcohol that the guest officer drinks, how much to drink is considered a lot. But at least now, he can't kill that Sifeng. Even walking into the grassland is a difficult task. ”

The shopkeeper suddenly walked out and said.

"Who are you, and why do you know about me?"

Chu Kuo's wine was strong.

The eyes are a little blurry.

For a while, I couldn't see the difference between the dress of this shopkeeper and Xiao Er.

"In the next, Jiying Town, the shopkeeper of Xiangteng Inn. ”

The shopkeeper bowed and said.

But Chu Kuo did not return the salute.

He only heard the last two words of the shopkeeper's words.

Shopkeeper.

"Could it be that this inn was opened by Huo Wang?"

Chu Kuo asked with a smile.

"Nature is not...... However, since it is opened on the land of King Dingxi, everyone is naturally familiar with it. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Acquaintance, have you ever drunk together?"

Chu Kuo asked.

"This ...... Not really. ”

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed by Chu Kuo's question.

"I haven't even drunk wine together, and I dare to say that I know each other?"

Chu Kuo said mockingly.

"Could it be that Your Excellency dares to despise me so much just because you have drunk with the King of Dingxi?"

The shopkeeper also lost his temper.

It's okay to despise him.

But he is the shopkeeper of the Xiangteng Inn in Jiying Town.

He is the façade of the Xiangteng Inn.

Despise him, don't you also despise the entire Xiangteng Inn?

So it's not okay, it's still ambiguous.

"Not only have I drunk with him. I still want to kill him. There were even several swords. You say, is this familiar enough?"

Chu Kuo leaned into the shopkeeper's ear and said.

The mouth was full of wine and the shopkeeper couldn't open his eyes.

But the words he heard in his ears made him shudder again.

I thought this was just a dead soldier of Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi.

Unexpectedly, he was a hero.

"Your Excellency hero, forgive me for being clumsy!"

The shopkeeper immediately took a few steps back and bowed down.

"Then you say, I can't get this grassland royal court?"

Chu Kuo asked.

"With the courage of Your Excellency, you can walk naturally!"

The shopkeeper said.

"Then what kind of Gong Sifeng is this, can I kill it?"

Chu Kuo asked again.

"With Your Excellency's courage to assassinate the King of the West, this Si Feng is no problem. ”

The shopkeeper said.

"Haha! I know you don't believe me. But I won't fight with you! My sword, with its scabbard still in the upstairs room. Remember to put it away for me. When I'm done killing people and the sword is full of murderous energy, I'll come back and get the scabbard!"

Chu Kuo said.

"Why did Your Excellency let the murderous aura dissipate before the sword could be put back into its sheath?"

The shopkeeper asked.

"Because the murderous aura that killed that Si Feng is not worthy of letting it coil in my scabbard!"

Chu Kuo said.

Then he strode out of the door of the Xiangteng Inn.

"Shopkeeper, this man ......"

Xiao Er saw Chu Kuo leaving, and stopped talking.

"He's either a complete lunatic or a hero. The former and the latter, it all depends on the sword in his hand!"

The shopkeeper said.
