1. The story that started at the night market
Twenty years later......
In the dark night, lightning pierced the poignant night sky again. In a small thatched hut in the southern region of Luocheng, an old man was awakened by this thunder, he stared at the night sky outside the window, his eyes were red, a pair of old hands trembled, and his mouth was full of words, as if he was saying something.
Dawn finally pierced the night sky, the old man looked at the rising sun outside the window, his heart moved, the Kun Dragon Sword was already in his hand, and he said to himself: "It's time." After that, the old figure turned into a long rainbow and disappeared into the sky.
......
Luocheng, Hanhai Street.
This is a well-known night market street, the most luxurious place in the whole Luocheng at night.
Every night after sunset, it will become a place for people to linger and become a unique scenery in the bright night of Luocheng.
As a result, this place is full of people of all kinds who gather here to have fun.
Among them was a teenager in his early twenties, weaving through the crowd.
It was a handsome young man, and a coarse cloth shirt looked a little out of place on his body. He shuttled through the crowd wantonly, and in a short time he had three more skewers of roast lamb in his hand.
The young man looked at the lamb skewers in his hand, then at the crowd behind him, and smiled proudly. Then he left quickly without looking back, and found a person with few people to hide.
After making sure that no one around was looking at him, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and said to the skewers in front of him: "These two skewers belong to me, and this one is for Xiaozhu." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze blew towards the young man, and along with the wind, the smell of mutton wafted in.
The young man sniffed the fragrance carefully, swallowed his saliva, and said, "No matter, I'll taste it first!" The young man asked for it without hesitation.
After a few breaths, a bare stick was ruthlessly discarded by the young man. The young man's mouth was full of oil, and he had a feeling that he was still unfinished.
The young man's name was Jiang Ling, and he was originally an inner disciple of the Lancang Pavilion in Longshan. It's just that I'm lonely recently, so I quietly slipped out of the sect and came to visit the night market in this Luocheng.
Jiang Ling looked at the remaining two skewers of mutton, shook his head firmly, and said to himself, "No, this skewer has to be eaten with Xiaozhu." Let's find that stupid girl first. ”
The corners of Jiang Ling's mouth rose slightly, and he strode back to the street.
At this time, a woman in civilian clothes with hurried steps met Jiang Ling's eyes. Jiang Ling immediately put his hands behind his back and hid the mutton skewers behind him.
The woman has a good face, bright teeth like the moon, crystal clear skin, tall and well-proportioned, and is a well-known lady in Luocheng - Ye Xiaozhu, the lady of the Ye family.
However, tonight's Ye Xiaozhu completely lost the appearance of everyone's ladies, she appeared in front of Jiang Ling like a naughty little girl.
"Brother Jiang Ling, you're finally out!" Ye Xiaozhu said with a smile. "It's been a long time since I've seen you. Do you know that no one comes to play with me, and I'm suffocating. ”
"It's not that damn Tianyang Zhenren yet, and he hasn't let me out. Jiang Ling also said indignantly.
Coincidentally, another gust of wind blew. Ye Xiaozhu seemed to smell something, she tried to sniff with her nose again, and looked around expectantly.
Jiang Ling pretended not to know and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaozhu, what are you looking for?"
"It's strange, I can clearly smell the smell of roast mutton, but there are no mutton vendors around here. Ye Xiaozhu said suspiciously.
Jiang Ling smiled proudly and said, "You're really a stupid girl." Jiang Ling put the mutton skewers in front of Ye Xiaozhu's eyes, handed one of them to her, and said, "No, you have a string, I have a string." ”
"Really?" Ye Xiaozhu happily borrowed the mutton skewers, "Brother Jiang Ling is the best for me." ”
Jiang Ling said jokingly: "You are the eldest lady of the Ye family, can't you eat this?"
"Brother Jiang Ling, don't make fun of me. My father and mother never gave me this, and all day long it was those so-called 'nutritious meals', which were clear soup and watery, and it was unpalatable to death. Ye Xiaozhu complained.
Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "I didn't expect that you still haven't listened to the life of the eldest lady?" That's just right, since you came out today, I'll take you to have a good time!"
"Really, long live Brother Jiang Ling!" Ye Xiaozhu jumped up excitedly.
While talking, the mutton skewers have been solved by dividing them by two, and the two of them are very happy to eat, and finally they put a big bamboo skewer into the soil in a chic manner.
Ye Xiaozhu just took Jiang Ling's arm like this, dragged Jiang Ling around the night market to take a look, and bought it without hesitation when he saw something.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's almost time.
This is the first time Ye Xiaozhu has come to the night market, and she is accompanied by Jiang Ling, which is her happiest day this year.
But the pleasant time was always short-lived, and just after the hour, Jiang Ling suddenly felt a familiar aura lock on them.
Jiang Ling stopped suddenly, Ye Xiaozhu was also startled, and asked, "What happened to Brother Jiang Ling?"
"Tianyang Zhenren is here!" Jiang Ling secretly said unlucky, "I'm afraid they want to arrest me back." ”
"Jiang Ling, your courage is really getting bigger and bigger. A middle-aged man full of energy, Edgeworth, walked up to Jiang Ling and scolded. Behind the middle-aged man, there were more than a dozen young men wearing Taoist robes.
Jiang Ling pursed his lips helplessly and said, "Master, this is not the first time, you still don't know me?"
Tianyang Zhenren made a stop gesture and said, "Come less, there is an important person who wants to see you today, you must come with me!" Tianyang Zhenren gave a few young people a look and said, "Send Miss Ye home!"
"Yes!"
As he spoke, several young men walked up to Ye Xiaozhu and made a gesture of please, saying, "Miss Ye, please put it." ”
"Hey, can you be reasonable!" Seeing Ye Xiaozhu's hesitant appearance, Jiang Ling said dissatisfiedly.
"Tie up Jiang Ling and send him back to the sect!" responded to him with Tianyang Zhenren's ruthless order.
Several young men rushed up, and there was a burst of messy ties, Jiang Ling was about to defend loudly, and a piece of cloth had already been stuffed into his mouth.
Jiang Ling: "......"
......
Lancang Pavilion was in the Dragon Mountain outside Luocheng, and the speed of several people was extremely fast, and after a while, Jiang Ling was brought back to the sect.
Several young people loosened the ties for Jiang Ling, and the strip of cloth in their mouths was finally taken out.
"Bah, bah, bah". Jiang Ling moved his body exaggeratedly, showing a look of grievance, and said, "Master, what are you crazy about today?"
Tianyang Zhenren glanced at him with disdain, his expression remained unchanged, "If someone hadn't named you to see you, I would have personally gone down the mountain to arrest you?"
Jiang Ling glanced at the solemn Tianyang Zhenren beside him and asked, "Master, who is going to see me?" ”
Tianyang Zhenren said angrily: "Hmph, do you still know how to observe words and feelings? You kid, you don't practice well, you think about how to be lazy all day long! This time it's Lu Daxia who has important things to entrust to you!"
"Lu Daxia, which Lu Daxia?" Jiang Ling asked with a puzzled expression.
"Lu Yuanqing, who is known as the Red Dragon!"
