Chapter 12: Life to the fullest

The rise and fall of the three northern countries are connected by the rise and fall of the same country.

The master and apprentice walked all the way and stopped, and it took more than a month to reach the small city on the border of the northern country and return to the south, although the small city was very lively because the caravans of the two countries were resting here.

In a month's time, Ji Jiu finally touched the threshold of a product, and now he can release a wisp of sword qi, and this kind of progress can be regarded as talented.

In a small restaurant, a iris is lazily sitting on a chair, looking down and can't see his face clearly, but some martial arts practitioners around him are a little palpitating, and keep glancing here, the higher the martial artist's own realm, the more acute the perception of the master, and there is a sword aura lingering between his hands.

Such a person's cultivation is the lowest and it is also out of the dust realm, and the masters of this realm are rare in this kind of border fortress town on weekdays, so they have not caused the surrounding martial artists to be too shocked.

The street suddenly became lively, Ji Jiu probed out curiously, his eyes were slightly sluggish, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

A huge iron cart was filled with scrawny, disheveled girls, who were not very old, although they were not of the same height.

One of the little girls was about the same age as Ji Jiu, looking at everything around her with fearful eyes, and she couldn't help crying.

"Cry a fart, don't give me food for three more days!" The driver was a fat man in poor clothes, rudely pulling the girl's hair and scolding.

These girls are all out of the three passes in the south to pick up waste, and although the two countries will clean up the corpses after a battle, there are many missing blades, and these blades can be sold for a good price.

Then came the rise of horse bandits who specialized in arresting these poor women, who would sell these women to the northern kingdom, and as for the lucky ones of these women in the future, they would be married home as concubines by the officials, and the unlucky ones could only be forced to do the unsavory leather and meat business for the rest of their lives.

Yiyi sighed and shook his head, the weakness of the southern country is not only the sorrow of the royal family, but also the sorrow of the people of the southern country.

Ji Jiu subconsciously pulled out the green blade on his waist and ran to the street to stop the carriage.

The word "stop ......" is said to be gritted and the sound is very small.

The fat man saw a child with no hair growing in the way, and shouted around without taking it seriously, "Whose little doll is this, hurry up and get it for me, or I'll be welcome!" After saying this, he drove the carriage on his own.

"I'll stop you!"

This sentence was almost a roar, and a powerful sword aura burst out from Ji Jiu's body, and the horse was startled and threw the fat man to the ground.

Yi Yu Ran raised the wine cup and looked at it lightly, he was very curious about how Ji Jiu would end.

"Little doll, I think you want to die!" The fat man got up in annoyance, stretched out his hand to grab Ji Jiu, but was dexterously dodged, and another sword was handed out and slashed on his arm, bleeding nonstop.

"Do you know that this batch of goods was ordered by the officials and lords of Pingjing, and you are not only you, but even I will die!" The fat man saw that he couldn't beat it, so he began to beg for mercy, and finally the eight-year-old child's heart softened when he heard this, and even the left hand holding the sword was slightly loose.

The fat man had this gloom in his eyes, and when he seized the opportunity, he took out the dagger in his arms and stabbed Ji Jiu's throat, and the black in front of him was bounced by the strong true qi, and he crashed into the street brick wall and passed out.

"Little apprentice, this is your first lesson in the rivers and lakes, and you must not be merciful to the enemy, but you have done a very good job. A iris said and split the iron cage with one palm, "Since you are a citizen of my southern country, go home with us." ”

After all, it was a carriage that robbed the big man, and Irisan was not afraid of trouble but hated trouble, and went out of the city after arranging the clothes for the four girls, and the stars seemed to be within reach at night, and the girls couldn't believe that all this was true, and they were a little cowardly and thanked the master and apprentice, and then didn't speak.

Ji Jiu looked at the fire thoughtfully and asked a iris beside him, "Master, why did this happen?"

"The sorrow of a weak country, if the southern country wins a great war, the treasury does not need to be squandered, where will the people risk their lives to go to the battlefield to pick up waste. Yi Ran smiled and continued, "I have an old friend, and his greatest hope is that one day there will be no sound of strings while plugging, and everyone will be happy after the plug. ”

Ji Jiu said with a smile: "This is a bit the same as what I said to the emperor when I was in the Northern Palace. ”

Ichizoan smiled even more and muttered, "yes, it's not surprising who made you his child, just like he thought......"

Wudang Mountain is known as the "ancestral garden of Taoism", and it is the state religion of the southern country, and the seventy-two peaks are constantly incense every day, which shows the pious belief of the people of the southern country in Taoism.

Xiao Yansheng is very small according to his generation, but his status is very high.

As the grandchildren of Wudang Mountain, he often talks about being speechless. What's even more amazing is his peerless and amazing martial arts talent, at the age of twenty-four, the Purple Golden Lotus sat step by step, and now he is one of the four great grandmasters of the Immortal Realm.

"Eh, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

"It's ......"

A handsome man holding a book in the Taoist temple shook his head helplessly, the night was already deep, but the small Taoists in his Taoist temple were not very honest.

There is a portrait of a woman hanging on the wall, her eyebrows and eyes are a little similar to Ji Jiu, he put down the book and picked up the duster to gently dust off the portrait, there is a lot of tenderness and regret between his eyebrows and eyes.

When she was praying for blessings on Wudang Mountain, she was already one of the four great masters at that time, but at the first glance at her, she felt some strange emotions in her heart, she was also funny, and the period of time she lived in Wudang Mountain should be the time when she laughed the most in her life.

When she was leaving that day, she asked herself if she would be willing to marry her if she were not a member of the Taoist sect.

He just didn't answer, looking at her back and nodding slightly.

Once wrong, it is the separation of yin and yang.

I still remember the first time I met her, she was wearing a long blue dress and an emerald hairpin on her head.

Xiao Yansheng took out the hairpin from his arms, and clenched it in his hand with painful eyes.

"Your child will have the best life you want. ”

He looked at the portrait and smiled heartily and wept from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Jiu was destined to have no sleep tonight, he closed his eyes and replayed the desperate eyes of the girl when she was locked in the iron car, so he simply didn't sleep and walked to sit down next to the master who was holding the sword and drinking.

"You're doing a good job today. Yi Yu said in a praising tone, "I thought you would beg me to save these girls, but who knew that you had the courage to dare to raise your sword to face it alone, this young man's heart is very good." ”

Yi Yu said two very good in a row, Ji Jiu shook his head and said, "Actually, I just think that there is no need for these women to bear the affairs of the two countries." ”

"You have to remember that with loyalty and righteousness in mind, people can only go to the sun if they follow their own path. and in the future, we shall do the same as we do today. ”

Ji Jiu nodded, and when he looked up at the boundless galaxy, he had the intention of saying that he would not hurry up.

How fortunate he is in this world, I wish to miss the pure heart of the rivers and lakes, and never regret the prosperity of the past.
