On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Qingshan took two small children to the village chief's house early to pay New Year's greetings.

"Grandpa, Happy New Year. I wish you good health and good health, and I also wish our village a prosperous life forever. ”

"Good, good. ”

The old man is now more and more satisfied with his grandson. Holding Tang Qingshan's hand, he came to the courtyard to bask in the warm winter sun.

"Qingshan, this time you have worked hard, there are many dangers along the way, and you can still return safely. Grandpa was delighted. ”

Hearing that Grandpa deliberately didn't mention the matter of picking up flowers, Tang Qingshan felt a pain in his heart. I'm afraid my grandfather is still disappointed in me. Thinking to himself, his emotions couldn't be high. The old man saw through his mind at a glance.

"Son, look at what you have said. Don't talk about you, even if your fifth uncle goes, he may not be able to come back safely. Why are you so frustrated?"

"Grandpa, picking the flowers is the test I should complete. But now..."

Grandpa patted Tang Qingshan's hand with pity.

"Do you know that the flower is a strange thing in heaven and earth? It is rumored that this flower can make the injured person imitate a fairyland, and the injured area can be under the power of this anther, and realize the method of reverse growth. It's the advent of Daozun, and it's not too much to let you use the method of dead wood in spring! It's not surprising that you can't find it, this matter is something that grandpa owes to consider. ”

"But, Grandpa..."

Seeing what Tang Qingshan wanted to say, the old man shook his head slightly.

"Now that you have achieved something, it is time for you to really go out of the mountains and experience the world. I have been hiding from the Tang clan for a hundred years, and I can't get anything pure. Then let's face it bravely, let the world also take a look, a hundred years later, the Tang family still has no seeds!"

"That, big brother. Can I say a word?"

Tang Tai listened quietly to the two of them for a long time next to him, and suddenly interrupted.

"Atai, what's wrong?"

Tang Qingshan didn't understand why Tang Tai interrupted him at this time.

"Actually, we've already brought back the pick-up flowers. ”

Tang Tai came to the two of them as he spoke. The thin body shook quickly, and the fluff on the body was fluffy. One, two. I watched the little guy keep shaking his body. Nine pick-up flowers fell to the ground.

"It's!"

Tang Qingshan was amazed, and the old man couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

"This flower was accidentally found by accident after my eldest brother and I got lost, and it looked like it would glow, so I took it with me. ”

Actually, taking advantage of the gap between Tang Qingshan and Ding Jirou talking. These rebound flowers are hidden in it. However, Tang Tai knew that his eldest brother had an appointment with Fairy Ding. It can only be a temporary lie. Seeing Tang Tai glaring at himself vigorously, Tang Qingshan suppressed the doubts in his heart. Carefully put away the pick-up flowers. It was handed over to the old man.

"Grandpa, you will keep this thing on your behalf. ”

The old village chief pondered for a moment, did not refuse, accepted eight plants, and gave him one of Tang Qingshan, so that he could be prepared for emergencies.

On the way home, Tang Qingshan asked Atai what was going on, and it was naturally impossible for the little thing to hide from his eldest brother.

"According to what you say, Fairy Xiufang's favor, I can't finish it in my life. ”

Tang Qingshan drooped his head, and Tang Tai didn't care.

"The eldest brother is a cultivator, how come he is like an ordinary man after returning to the village, how can he cultivate the Great Dao like an ordinary man?"

After Ah Tai finished speaking, his calves bumped and ran home first. After listening to the little guy's words, Tang Qingshan woke up like a dream, it was really not good for him to do this. Let go of your worries and go home quickly.

It's been a while since I've been back in the village, and I know I'm going to have to get out of this valley sooner or later. Tang Qingshan was busy at home every day, going up to the roof and courtyard wall and down to the chairs and benches. I almost renovated the whole house. When she was fine, she talked to her mother about her family, and her mother seemed to know that her son was about to go away. Every time I talk to Tang Qingshan, I am full of reluctance.

One day in mid-February, Tang Qingshan took two little guys out of the village to hunt. Standing on a hill very close to home, Tang Qingshan looked far away.

"Brother, I'm probably going to go out. ”

As if knowing that this moment was coming, Atai said calmly.

"Big brother isn't going to take us with him. ”

Tang Qingshan found a big stone and sat with Tang Tai and Tang Wan.

"It's not that I don't want to travel with you. But today, we have no way of knowing what the outside world is like. We don't have the strength to protect each other. If something happens, how can you give me peace of mind? ”

Although Tang Qingshan was telling the truth. However, the separation made their hearts uncomfortable.

"Actually, I'm also selfish. My mother looked young. But over the years, I have been raised by her alone, and her body has not been able to catch up with the year by year. Now that I'm gone, who will be her companion? If you two stay in Tangjiaao, I can rest assured that both my mother and you will be at ease. ”

Looking at Tang Qingshan's eyes, recalling Tang's mother's gentleness, Atai compromised.

"Big brother don't say any more, Atai led his sister to accompany his mother. ”

Looking at the sensible Tang Tai, Tang Qingshan's heart warmed.

"Brother, cultivate hard and strive to transform as soon as possible!"

On the morning that Tang Qingshan left the village, the genius shone slightly. He didn't want to say goodbye to anyone, he didn't want to see his mother's tears, or even the strength that Tang Tai pretended to be. In this way, Tang Qingshan traveled lightly. All the way north, he wants to find his father, and only by finding out the news first can he make the next step.

In fact, directly choosing to go north, Tang Qingshan still has an idea. Although many years have passed, Tang Qingshan still hasn't forgotten the person who abandoned his brother, attracted Jin Yuanhu, and harmed Tang Jiaao. If you want to meet him, you can do it when you think of it, and walk along the official road all the way, inquiring about the whereabouts of Tiefu City. Occasionally, when passing by caravans, Tang Qingshan would also ask others if they could take him for a ride.

There is still half a day left before the Iron Floating City. Tang Qingshan traveled with a caravan called Wantonglou. The leader of the team is named Ye Liuyun, and he is the young owner of this Wantong Building.

It turned out that on the day Tang Qingshan met the convoy of Ten Thousand Barrel Towers, on an official road, he happened to meet another caravan in Tiefu City, Sumeru, and the guards of Sumeru Fang teased the women on the roadside. Ye Liuyun is only two years older than Tang Qingshan, which is a hot-blooded age. If you don't say anything, you have to reason with others. The two sides went back and forth, and after a while, they actually fought, and the scene became more and more uncontrollable. Finally, when the dust settled, I saw Ye Liuyun being beaten to the ground.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Tang Qingshan still stepped forward. It turned out that all this was just a trick against Wantong Tower, or just a trick against Ye Liuyun! Ye Liuyun was famous for his courage and lack of scheming in Tiefu City. However, the old owner of Wantong Building, Ye Qin is old and no longer suitable for going to the rivers and lakes. Only then did Ye Liuyun lead the business, and Sumeru Fang got the news from somewhere. On this only way for Wantonglou to return to the city, waiting for Ye Liuyun's arrival.

It can also be regarded as Ye Liuyunji's own natural appearance. met Tang Qingshan, who witnessed the whole process. Tang Qingshan looked at the two groups of people, and as soon as he showed signs of making a move, he took the first step to capture the woman who was being molested. The woman had seen that the matter had been completed and was about to escape, but Tang Qingshan intervened sideways and restrained her first. At that time, the two groups were blushing and arguing about what was right and which was wrong. The woman was originally here to put on a show. Now, facing the ferocity of two groups of people. directly explained the things that were done to frame Ye Liuyun, and explained everything.

As soon as the people in Sumeru saw that the matter was revealed, they turned around and ran. I didn't even care about the woman. Ye Liuyun thanked Tang Qingshan for his rescue and invited him to go with him. Knowing that Tang Qingshan was also going to Tiefu City, he even kept Tang Qingshan to stay at his house. Thinking of entering Tiefu City, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it was easy to arouse suspicion when investigated, so Tang Qingshan agreed.

Entering Tiefu City, Tang Qingshan and Ye Liuyun walked side by side.

"Brother Tang, on the southeast corner of this Iron Floating City is our home. Do you want to go shopping by yourself first, or do you want to go home with me first? ”

Walking to an intersection, Ye Liuyun asked.

"Brother Ye, you are busy first. I'll go around the city first. ”

Tang Qingshan glanced at more than a dozen carriages, if it was to accompany Ye Liuyun home, it would be arranged properly. I guess the sun will go down.

"Alright, you can go and shop for yourself first. We'll meet up a little later in the city at Yuxiang House. Brother, I must not get drunk with you today. ”

Seeing Ye Liuyun leave, Tang Qingshan took a closer look at this Tiefu City. Although this place is still more than 300 miles away from the border fortress. However, looking at the thickness of the city walls, and the soldiers guarding the city. Tang Qingshan knew that in fact, the border should be very tight now. There are also very few people walking around the streets of the city. When I think of this, I think of my father. I don't know where my father is now, is he fighting, or is he in captivity?

Forgetting his troubles for a while, Tang Qingshan continued to wander around the city. On the huge street, there are not many open storefronts. Occasionally, you can see a medical center open to the public. From this point of view, the only son of the city lord should have been cured. Analyzing the current situation, Tang Qingshan made comparisons in his heart. Constantly collecting information about Tiefu City, the sky gradually darkened. Coming to a densely populated street in the city, Tang Qingshan glanced at the gradually setting sun and was about to go to the place where he met Ye Liuyun. Suddenly, I heard someone laughing behind me.

"Boss Zhuang, this girl I found for you tonight, hey, don't mention it. That's the best in the world. ”

"Oh, the best in the world, Zhao Laosan, don't bluff me, that last time it disgusted me for a few days!"

"No, no, no. The last time it was a pure accident, you believe the little brother again!"

Listening to the two chattering about some pickled things, Tang Qingshan frowned slightly. Hearing this, he looked at the two men who spoke, but saw only a figure flashing through the street. Tang Qingshan ran a few steps quickly, trying to see what the two people who spoke looked like.

"Hey, Brother Tang, I'm here!"

Running to the corner of the street, the two people who spoke were already unrecognizable. But he saw Ye Liuyun, this guy went home and explained the matter, changed into a very sassy clothes, and saw Tang Qingshan coming.
