Volume 1 Broken Bamboo Chapter 44 Only Drinking
As soon as Zhang Zao saw Zhang Muliu walking on the sea, she shouted happily, and then saw her father waving vigorously in this direction, so she also stood up, standing on the wooden board barefoot and waving to the smiling swordsman in green shirts.
Zhang Muliu shouted loudly: "Go back with your mother first, and then your father will go back to look for you in a while." ”
The little girl nodded vigorously, and her mouth kept humming.
When I came back, I naturally had to exchange the breath of the pasture first, and I would be able to feel at ease after refining it for the little girl. Zhang Muliu actually had a strange idea on the way, in case Chu Xiaodan said that he wanted a monster in the realm of distraction, and it didn't count, so what could it be? Just thinking about it, Zhang Muliu felt that a great monk at the peak of refining the void would not come up with this method to trap people.
I won't go to the drunken gold building, and I will go directly to the "City Lord's Mansion".
Pulling two strings of monsters directly to the city lord's mansion, the person just walked to the door of the house, the two gates opened to both sides on their own, Zhang Muliu threw the monsters of the Yuan Infant Stage at the door, and dragged the thirty-two monsters of the Hedao Period into it together.
It's quite lively, not only the city lord is here, but the unknown monk and Mao Ahyu are also here. The three monks at the peak of refining the void flowed from Zhang Muliu into the Doubing City and gathered here. The monk still looks drunk, Mao Ayu is wearing a Taoist robe and carrying a peachwood sword, and the city lord Chu Xiaodan is still wearing a white Confucian shirt.
The three of them looked at Zhang Muliu with straight eyes, which made the latter feel a little chill down his spine.
Zhang Muliu sneered and said, "City Lord, I brought back thirty-four Hedao period monsters, you won't say that you want the distraction period, and the Merge Dao demons don't count, right?"
When Mao Ayu heard this, he glanced at Chu Xiaodan coldly, and said lightly: "Don't worry! ”
The sloppy monk has an extra fan in his hand today, which is also tattered. He said vaguely: "I said, have you never been beaten by monks? How did my Buddha offend you? Even calculating people is based on the anger of the Buddha and Bodhisattva?"
Zhang Muliu scratched his head, smiled and said something similar to what he said before: "If the Buddhist monks were all like the masters, I would definitely not hate the Buddhism." ”
I can see that I don't know if I'm really angry. Chu Xiaodan coughed twice and said solemnly: "The breath of the pasture will be given to you, and you can also take the heart of the Great Demon, but now we have to talk about something serious first." ”
Zhang Muliu said softly: "What's the matter? I'm still going back to see the child!"
The young Taoist priest on the side sneered and said slowly: "Do you really think we can't see what that little girl is? No matter who looks at her, she is a decent person, but a Zhanbu tree in the sea of qi can hardly escape our eyes." ”
When the young man heard this, his face immediately changed, and he squinted at the three of them.
Chu Xiaodan was very helpless, this is going to prove his real position, how can he still be so unorthodox? So he sighed and said: "Xiaomao, don't make a mess, if you keep talking, this kid will definitely fight with you, do you believe it or not?"
Seeing that Zhang Muliu still had an indifferent look, the city lord said helplessly: "Zhang Muliu, we won't do that. The shortest of the three of us has been here for six hundred years, and we have indeed been like this with those brutes, but for the human race, let alone a little girl, shall we do it?"
The sloppy monk interjected, "The city lord is afraid that someone will pick up a sword to cut you, right?"
Zhang Muliu didn't pay attention to the troublesome monk, but first said to Chu Xiaodan: "I believe Mr. Chu, I don't believe the two of them." ”
In a word, Chu Xiaodan was very happy in his heart. See, it's my Confucian sage and enlightened boy, what did you just call Did you hear it? Mr. called, not the city lord!
It's just that Zhang Muliu's next sentence gave the city lord a headache again.
After the young man in a green shirt finished talking to Chu Xiaodan, he turned his head to look at Mao Ayu and said coldly: "Do you dare to say that the Taoist priest I met when I was young was not your Taoist calculation? “
Mao Ayu looked serious, and said in a deep voice to Zhang Muliu: "First of all, when you were young, you wanted that wooden sword to give people calculations, and you can't complain about others. And that wooden sword also saved your life, which is considered to be a tear. Secondly, you ask this crazy monk, is the angry Buddha really scary?"
Unknown said lightly: "Whether the Buddha statue is angry or not, the viewer knows for himself." Some people see me as hideous, and some people see me as angry and compassionate. ”
This sentence really woke up Zhang Muliu. Thinking about it carefully, in the Water Viewing Pavilion in the Jumping River City, the archmage had already mentioned Zhang Muliu once.
"Looking at people with the eyes of demons, all beings are demons. ”
Zhang Muliu eased up a bit, and shook his way towards Mao Ah Yu and Ming with Confucian etiquette.
Chu Xiaodan can see it in his eyes, no matter which one this kid is close to, just this small detail can see what kind of character the gentleman who taught him is.
"Alright! Chu Xiaodan said with a smile.
Then he spoke again: "How did you get that glass lamp?"
The young man was startled by a glass lamp. He had thought that the lamp was used by the ancient Buddha when chanting sutras, and even thought that it would be the imitation of the bone-eroding lamp, but he never thought that it would be the companion lamp of the lamp-burning Taoist who later turned to cultivating the Buddha.
"No, right? I bought it in a small shop in Jumping River City, and the shopkeeper should be a Tuxing family. The money I spent on this lamp was no more than fifty mud coins, how could it be the glass lamp?" Zhang Muliu still couldn't believe it.
The unknown monk didn't know when he had already taken a ball of dog meat and gnawed it, and he smiled: "Of course it's an imitation, if you get the real glass lamp, you kid would have died on the way south." It's just that even if it is imitated, it was made by the Buddha himself in the past. ”
Chu Xiaodan smiled and continued: "Today's incident of the demons incarnating into gods has happened in the four border cities, and even once in Fuyao City not long ago. The one who was besieged on the sea east of Fuyao City was a kid with a double hammer, who should be your fellow countryman. And in the past twenty years, the first time was when your father went to the battlefield, the second time should be your fellow countryman, and the third time it was you. Over the years, we have discovered that there is a place outside of your hometown, or people related to it, who will be besieged by the devils when they go to war. Jianzi Jiang Mohang is one of them. ”
Zhang Muliu said in a deep voice: "The place that Mr. Ma said is Mr. Ma's hometown? Also, what happened to the young man with a double hammer?"
Chu Xiaodan nodded and said: "It is indeed the hometown of the leper, but we only know that the place is called Zhishan, and the specific location is unknown." As for the little guy named Zhang Zhuokang, he was seriously injured, but he was not worried about his life. ”
Zhang Muliu breathed a sigh of relief.
The young Taoist priest Mao Ayu continued: "You guessed well, they are not monsters, they are just inhabitants of the uncivilized world outside the world. Readers are dirty, and the first person to propose the term "Outer Monsters" is a reader in your Shengshen Continent. ”
Mao Ayu didn't care about Chu Xiaodan's face getting darker and darker, and then said: "The matter of your hometown, with our cultivation realm, can't be touched yet, one thing is certain, it definitely has a lot to do with this outside world." ”
The young man's brows furrowed, Fang Wai World, could that dream realm be Fang Wai World? At that time, the battle in the dream was also a dispute between the two worlds.
Chu Xiaodan seemed to see what Zhang Muliu was thinking, and said with a smile: "You show people with that black armor, and you expose your evil spirit, you just want us to see it, right? Black armor is indeed a product of a world outside the Eight Desolations, but we don't know what you have experienced." ”
Zhang Muliu pondered for a moment, and still said part of the truth: "I had a dream when I was a teenager, and there were many ups and downs in the dream, and the language of that world is the same as ours here, and there are also three sects and hundreds of schools. And the creation myth is exactly the same here. I used to think it was a real world, but I was there for 3,000 years, and when I woke up, I was still in a small boat, just a moment later. ”
The three Void Cultivators also frowned, it wouldn't work according to this kid's words. Even if the two worlds are different and the time is chaotic, the speed of time is the same, and they are both forward. If he had been in that world for 3,000 years, he would have passed 3,000 years after he returned.
Seeing that the three of them also had no clue, Zhang Muliu had to let Chu Xiaodan continue.
Chu Xiaodan pondered for a moment, and said to Zhang Muliu: "The main thing is to tell you that the people in your hometown are not allowed to go to the battlefield again. Otherwise, once those monsters succeed, it won't be a matter of one person, and not everyone has your ability and luck. ”
Unknown interjected again: "And oh, your glass lamp has exhausted its divine power, and if you want to make money from it again, don't even think about it." ”
The sloppy monk's words made Zhang Muliu blush a little, and he had to nod and say no more.
In the end, Chu Xiaodan transmitted Zhang Muliu, and his voice was a little regretful: "Let's talk to Chaoluo before you leave, it's best to talk to Xiaomin too." None of them are easy. The events of that year, whether you believe it or not, the ins and outs are what was said that day. ”
The city lord took out a white jade net bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Muliu, who opened it and saw that a dark red gas with a very strong earth attribute was coiled in the bottle.
Zhang Muliu bowed deeply and left.
After the young man walked out, Chu Xiaodan waved his hand and laid down a soundproof prohibition. The Confucian monk sighed and said, "I still have a fine work in this bean soldier city!"
Mao Ayu sneered: "Scholars are just shameless. ”
The sloppy monk nodded, and said vaguely: "Now this kid's road to the north is even more difficult." Scholars are just shameless. ”
Chu Xiaodan said with a black face.
Then he looked quietly to the south, and said in his heart:
"Young people are still not clear in their hearts! If you can get through this hurdle, I am helping you, and if you can't get by, I will harm you. ”
......
The house by the sea was very lively tonight, Zhang Muliu had not yet returned, and a round table was set up in the courtyard, and under the table was a stove, and a large pot was placed on top of the stove.
Liu Gong's kid said a hot pot, Zhang Zao thought it was delicious when he heard it, and he was entangled in the autumn water, so he had to ask his mother to make a hot pot to eat. Li Qiushui smiled and sent Liu Gong out to buy vegetables, hot pot is hot pot, wait for that guy to come home, let him see the craftsmanship of this girl.
There are also a lot of people in the yard, Jiang Luo and Cai'er in the twilight mountain. There are also two sisters, Xiao Du and Xiao Yu. Leave Qiushui and the little girl Zhang early. There are also Qiao Mao'er and Gong Chenglong, who only entered the door later, and a woman with a pale face, Chao Min.
In fact, Liqiushui feels very sorry for Chao Min, because he empathizes. She was also very happy that this woman could come to the door on purpose, no matter what the situation would be after Zhang Muliu came back, Li Qiushui was very willing to have this meal with Chao Min.
Everyone was already sitting around the table, but there was a vacant seat next to Qiushui.
Everyone was waiting for a young man in a green shirt with a sword on his back to come back.
The most uncomfortable thing in the yard is Chao Min. Gong Chenglong and Qiao Mao'er are better, after all, they have been on the battlefield together.
There is an emotion that is difficult to explain clearly, that is, no matter how strange people are, if they have faced the enemy together, they will feel very close afterwards.
Chao Min is different, after all, a day ago she was thinking about putting Zhang Muliu to death, and the reason why she came here was also a lot of thoughts.
People are always very strange that when they can decide, they will not choose what calmness, and sometimes even if they choose, they will not be able to be truly calm. Only the calmness caused by some uncontrollable reasons seems to really think about something. This was the case with Chao Min, who had a hard time lying in bed and thinking about what had happened over the years.
Being stabbed by Zhang Muliu with a sword, Chao Min calmed down like never before. Lying in bed for a day and a night, except for the mother who couldn't remember her face, she suddenly thought of her father, who seemed to have become an old man overnight. I always hated him in the past, why couldn't I even stop someone with a sword at the beginning, why did I watch Zhang Shuying kill his mother. It wasn't until the sword poked herself into a hole, as if a stomach full of resentment had run out of her stomach, that she felt that her father was not easy for the first time. Watching the person you love die in front of you and you can't do anything is the most painful thing, right?
Liqiushui hugged Zhang Zaozao, she suddenly smiled and said, "Wait and wait, why don't I tell you something about him?"
Everyone's reactions were different, and the four girls in Twilight Mountain, Gong Chenglong and Qiao Mao'er, all had to shout out "You are about to speak".
Chao Min and Liu Gong were embarrassed to show an expression of wanting to know, and the other was afraid to show an expression of wanting to know.
Li Qiushui said with a smile: "The premise is that you know, but don't pass it on! ”
Everyone nodded, and then Li Qiushui continued: "His birth is probably the worst among us. The great masters and dashing swordsmen in your eyes actually went to the town to catch the market before the age of thirteen, and they didn't even know what a monk was. When he was very young, a middle-aged man who looked like a god went to his village and said that he was teaching swords, but he ended up teaching three tricks, which may not be a trick. Later, he led the donkey alone for half a year, and went to the south of Shengshenzhou alone, and also made a lot of jokes. He was afraid that others would look down on him, so he secretly took out one of the money given by his family and changed it into a more gorgeous clothes, so that he could raise his head. He also bragged to others on a river ferry, saying that his money was all in sacks, and when he had no money to spend, he went to grab a sack in the firewood house. Later, on the way south, the foundation was somehow built, and the Jin Dan, who was only married at the age of fifteen, only reached the Yuanying realm last year. So he is not very old, and he only turned nineteen in September this year. ”
said that it was a trouble, but in fact, it was just a rough description of the life path he had walked.
Except for Liu Gong and Zhang Zaozao, the rest of the people were shocked.
According to what Li Qiushui said, it only took five years at most for that guy to reach the Yuanying realm from the beginning of his cultivation! He Gong Chenglong and Qiao Mao'er can have today's realm, but they have cultivated since childhood.
Liu Gong has always had a big heart, where does he care how old Zhang Muliu is and how long it has taken him to reach his current realm. He just blinked and said curiously, "How did the master know the master?"
Li Qiushui smiled again and said, "Of course, I only knew him because I wanted him to know him." ”
The young man Liu Gong tugged at the corners of his mouth, there was nothing wrong with this.
Chao Min suddenly asked, "Then didn't his father and mother teach him the Qi Refining Method when he was a child?"
Li Qiushui shook his head and smiled at Chao Min: "His father only taught him to distinguish between right and wrong, and did not teach him the Dao of Immortality. He's about the same as you, and he didn't know what his mother looked like until he was thirteen. ”
Chao Min suddenly understood why he had suffered two swords from himself in vain, and it turned out that they were all motherless children.
The door suddenly creaked open, and the green shirt was stunned for a moment, then walked forward with a laugh, and said, "Why is it so lively?
Zhang broke free from her mother's arms early, and quickly ran over and climbed on top of the young man, and the little girl said happily: "We haven't eaten yet! We are all waiting for Daddy, hot pot! We are eating hot pot today! It is a cauldron with a fire burning." ”
Before Zhang Muliu had time to talk to the little girl, a sloppy young man ran over, knelt down, and shouted, "The master is above, and the apprentice is worshipped!"
The corners of Zhang Muliu's mouth twitched, and he almost kicked the kid away without holding back. When did you agree to be your master?
Liu Gong kept kowtowing, and said in his mouth: "If the master doesn't accept me as an apprentice, I won't be able to kneel all the time." ”
The young man in a green shirt smiled: "Then you kneel, I'll eat first." ”
After finishing speaking, he ignored Liu Gong, walked to the table, smiled softly at Li Qiushui, and then threw two pots of wine to Qiao Mao'er and Gong Chenglong. After that, he smiled and said to Chao Min: "But anyone who is a person, and who has lived for many years and has traveled many roads, will have a story more or less." Some stories are like the rough wine and spicy throat in the market, and more are bland, like a pebble falling from the sea, and after a circle of ripples, it will immediately return to calm. ”
He turned to look at Qiao Mao'er, and then said, "If someone is willing to empathize with you, then you won't be lonely." ”
Qiao Mao'er made a big red face.
After a pause, Zhang Muliu continued: "The answer I got is similar to the answer you know, to be honest, I don't believe it, but I believe in my father and will not kill people for no reason." If you are willing to believe me, give me some time, and when I come back to Bean Soldier City, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
Chao Min struggled for a moment, but still raised his head and said: "I also believe in my mother! Now that the facts are unknown, I can put aside the matter of revenge for the time being, but if I find out that it was really your father who killed someone for no reason in the future, I Chao Min would rather die." ”
Zhang Zao's eyes flickered a few times, and he said crisply: "Sister Min'er is so fierce! But I still like Sister Min'er, but she is fierce Daddy, what should I do?"
One sentence made everyone laugh non-stop, and the little girl was really a pistachio.
Cai'er shook her head and said to Liqiushui: "Sister Qiushui, can you eat first?" I have swallowed several basins of saliva. ”
Zhang Muwan looked at the young man who was still kneeling and couldn't get up, and said helplessly: "Eat first, and then kneel after eating." ”
Liu Gong laughed and got up, and ran to the table and sat down in a few steps.
So everyone began to eat, Zhang Muliu didn't like to eat meat, so he was full after a few bites, and sat alone under the eaves with a wine bag.
Qiao Mao'er was the first to follow, carrying the wine jug and touching Zhang Muliu's wine bag, and said softly: "Thank you!"
Zhang Muliu took a sip of wine, and his eyes were strange: "Do you thank me for helping Chao Min untie the knot, or thank me for helping you break the window paper?"
Qiao Mao'er rolled her eyes, sighed and said, "I can't figure you out, you are so young, your realm is not low, and you are insidious to death." Can you find such a beautiful daughter-in-law here?"
Gong Chenglong also came over, naturally stretched out the wine jug and touched Zhang Muliu, and then said: "Yes! If it weren't for my brother and sister saying that you were only nineteen, I wouldn't believe it." You're fighting against people and fighting on the battlefield, and you're two people. One is bright and straightforward, with a chivalrous and straightforward appearance. is insidious and cunning, and he has raised his shameless play to a higher level. ”
Zhang Muliu smiled and said, "I'll just think you're praising me." ”
Liu Gong had already run back to kneel, so there were six women left chatting at the dinner table, and Chao Min also talked a little more. It's just that the one who talks the most is still Cai'er.
Since just now, Cai'er has been asking constantly, why does Sister Qiushui like him, why is she so cute early, why is Sister Min'er about the same age as her senior sister but so powerful?
Even Zhang Zao kept rolling his eyes, and muttered to Liqiushui: "Why does Sister Cai'er have so many problems, more than me." ”
Jiang Luo is the oldest of the four, in addition to chatting with Li Qiushui, she also turned around and invited Li Qiushui and the two to go to the twilight mountain as guests.
Li Qiushui agreed with a smile, saying that even if he didn't go, Zhang Muliu would go.
The happiest are the sisters surnamed Xiao, but they think they hide their happiness well, but in fact, anyone can see the careful thinking of the two of them.
The most embarrassing thing is Jiang Luo, who wants to remind the two of them, but she doesn't know what to say.
Chao Min left the table, walked to Zhang Muliu's side, and said lightly, "Is there any wine?"
Zhang Muliu pointed to his right shoulder, meaning that you can drink this? It's just that the woman in white in front of him was indifferent, Zhang Muliu had no choice but to throw out another pot of wine, looking very distressed.
Qiao Mao'er almost wanted to cut this guy a few times, just a pot of wine, as for a piece of meat?
"Before you leave, I will give you the wine that you can't drink, my Qiao family is in the wine business in Doubing City, and the wine sold by the roadside stalls and skewers is mine. Qiao Mao'er said coldly.
Zhang Muliu smiled very happily when he heard this, and the wine bag was lifted and hung and poured into his mouth, but he didn't see his mouth closed, but his Adam's apple kept shaking up and down. After a while, the wine bag seemed to be empty, Zhang Muliu smiled after burping, handed the wine bag to Qiao Mao'er, and said with a smile: "Then it's troublesome for Qiao Gongzi, just fill it up." ”
Qiao Mao'er took the wine bag and looked at it, and her eyelids jumped wildly. Fucking it's been pitted! There's a lot of things in it, it's a top-level magic weapon, but it can only be filled with wine.
The four of them laughed, Chao Min took a sip of wine, and smiled at Zhang Muliu: "You bother, I'll go to my father later." ”
......
Most of the sad stories are at night, because when you are alone, the night alone is very sad. If there is another full moon in the sky, it will only be more sad.
Shixian once said that it is even more sorrowful to pour sorrow with wine.
It's just that when you can't stop thinking, you can only drink.
The small house in the north that didn't even have a yard was the old man sitting alone on the steps, smoking an old dry cigarette.
A young woman, dressed in white, stood far away in the night. She hadn't looked at him so carefully for more than ten years, and when she came here to take a look today, she realized that the father who looked alive in her memory was so old?
Chao Min's lips trembled, and he moved to the front of the hut step by step, and called out to Daddy with a slight choked voice.
