Chapter 1
"Shopkeeper, I'm not going to stay here any longer. ”
Immediately after the man finished speaking, a short and fat man stepped forward and said something similar with a slight hesitation on his face: "Yes, shopkeeper, I plan to leave too." ”
"Okay, if you want to find another way, I won't stop you, go if you want to, and you don't need to tell me. Liu Yuan looked irritated and waved his hand and said.
When the time of the incense stick was over, the rest of the guys in the store packed up their things and left, and the huge inn was already empty, and he was the only one left.
A long sigh rang out in the store.
Liu Yuan, the word Mandate of Heaven, a member of the Great Wei Dynasty, is now the shopkeeper of an inn in Qingchuan County.
However, just seven days ago, he had another identity, that is, a native of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, but he was just a nobody.
The Yuan Imperial Pavilion was founded in the current Dynasty Emperor Taizu Taizong, who was responsible for the disputes between the rivers and lakes, and gradually became stronger, and has been hundreds of years so far.
Especially the four major envoys in the cabinet, no one knows their real names, but their names are very loud, they are: slanted eyes, crooked mouths, missing arms and missing legs.
The rivers and lakes are also more prosperous, even with the control of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, there are still repeated cases of chivalry and martial arts.
Today, the Son of Heaven is ambitious, how can he allow so many people in the land under his control to disobey the king's Taoism.
Two years ago, when he first ascended to Dabao, he began to attack the entire rivers and lakes, riding 100,000 horses to step on the world, and the soldiers were bleeding and drifting.
Seven Gangs and Sixteen Sects, Jianque Villa of the Southern Dao Sect, Buddhism and Bodhisattva Mans in the north, as well as Little Lotus Mountain, Demon Gate, Seven Star Cave and other high-level sects are rarely spared.
Otherwise, they will return to the imperial court and become a minion of the imperial court similar to the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, such as Ziwei Mountain, which has always been at odds with the Taoist Sect. It has been the whole Guishun, and the mountain lord has been awarded the title of Yuyi Qingxiang.
But anyone who disobeys will die directly, and even the masters of the major factions have not escaped the catastrophe, and the internal strength of the martial arts secrets of the major factions has been burned.
The top ten masters of the rivers and lakes who saw the opportunity quickly hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and escaped by hiding and cultivating. This incident will definitely leave a strong mark in the history books, and some historians have called it - burning books and destroying heroes.
Since this incident, the rivers and lakes have indeed been a lot more peaceful, so the Yuan Imperial Pavilion is almost useless, and it is hidden by the Holy Snow.
For example, a nobody like Liu Yuan is not even a fourth-level Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, and the three-legged cat kung fu he learned is just a person who can stay in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion thanks to the Yin virtue of his ancestors, and he has been sent home since he was dismissed.
Liu Yuan's father, Liu Guanzhang, was a prefecture-level imperial envoy of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, but when he was dealing with a matter of rivers and lakes, he never came back, and he didn't see anyone alive or dead.
Since he didn't see the corpse, in Liu Yuan's heart, he believed that his father would be fine.
However, year after year, there was no news of his father, and until now he left the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, his heart was getting heavier and heavier.
Leaving the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, Liu Yuan still had to live without the court's Yulu, and he remembered that his father still had an inn in his hometown.
So he took the savings left by his father over the years, plus the severance pay from the imperial court, a total of two hundred taels of silver, plus his own savings for many years, a total of two hundred taels and a penny, and went back to his hometown.
With his Liu Yuan alone, the kung fu of a three-legged cat, he can't even practice his internal strength, even if he walks through thousands of mountains and rivers, it is impossible to find his father.
And the most well-informed places in the world, one is the Qinglou, and the other is the inn. So Liu Yuan returned to his hometown with great ambitions, planning to open the most prosperous inn of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Reality gave him a blow in the face, first on the way, more than half of his silver was stolen by thieves, and then he found that the situation of the inn was also precarious.
The original bookkeeper, because he was involved in a poisoning case, is still locked up in prison, and Liu Yuan barely survived for three days with poor silver.
The guys saw that the shopkeeper who followed him had no future, and who was willing to stay in an inn that he couldn't even afford to open with monthly money, so they all decided to leave today.
Blessing is unequaled, disaster is not a single line, the house leak happened to rain overnight, Liu Yuan walked on the wooden stairs on the second floor of the inn, and these words flashed in his heart in an instant.
The inn left to him by his father is spacious and well-equipped, with a total of three floors, a large backyard, and two lobbies on the left and right on the first floor.
However, the previous poisoning turmoil, coupled with the unattractive dishes of the inn, where is there any business, and now even the only cook is gone.
Liu Yuan, who couldn't think of what to do in the future, planned to go to the warehouse on the third floor to see if there was anything available.
Sometimes Liu Yuan was also thinking that since his father was called Guan Zhang, why did he buy an inn property, which was unlucky.
The key to this warehouse, only he has, and I don't know how long no one has come in, Liu Yuanyi pushed open the door, the dull smell on his face, coupled with the misty dust, made him wave his sleeves again and again, and his mouth kept choking and coughing.
After the dust settled, Liu Yuan stepped in and gently closed the door.
The room was empty, but there were large and small boxes all over the ground, which were not locked, and Liu Yuan opened the leftmost one casually.
Sure enough, the empty box dispelled Liu Yuan's unrealistic fantasy of opening the box before and seeing it full of silver.
Successively opened the second box, "Hey, what is this?" Liu Yuan sighed lightly in his mouth, and saw that inside the rectangular box, a strange-shaped pendant was placed on top of a stack of papers, which was flashing with red light.
"Don't be a gem. Liu Yuan's eyes lit up and he picked up the pendant. It was actually warm, Liu Yuan's heart moved, and he carefully looked at the things in his hand.
I saw that the shape of the pendant was indeed strange, like a strange boat.
Suddenly, the pendant was getting hotter and hotter in his hand, Liu Yuan couldn't hold it, and with a hiss, he threw it in the open space.
After the pendant landed, in Liu Yuan's shocked eyes, it began to gradually expand and get bigger and bigger.
It didn't stop until the size of one person, Liu Yuanda opened his mouth, stared at the big eyes of the copper bell, and looked at the enlarged version of the pendant in front of him in a daze.
It is still green like a small boat, the lower part of the hull is carved with intricate patterns, and the upper part is a transparent curved baffle.
"His grandmother's, what the hell is this!" Liu Yuan was shocked, his accent was sandwiched with official dialect, rubbing his hands, and circling the boat back and forth.
"Please enter the eco-cabin within three minutes, it will automatically close after three minutes. ”
"You can still talk!" Liu Yuan was frightened like a frightened rabbit, jumped out of three feet with his feet, put on a defensive posture, and cautiously looked at the thing in front of him.
"Please enter the eco-cabin within three minutes, it will automatically close after three minutes. The cold female voice sounded again, and this time Liu Yuan heard it clearly.
"You're letting me in?" Liu Yuan hesitantly stretched out his hand and pointed at the thing, and then at himself, but the thing didn't react.
Liu Yuan didn't know how long this thing was talking about for three minutes, but he was not a timid person, "I'm afraid you won't be able to do it." As he spoke, Liu Yuan strode towards the thing.
Tentatively took one foot, and the second foot also stood up, and then his head let go of the small half of the curved transparent baffle, and the whole person lay down, muttering to himself: "I'm not dead yet, why is it like lying in a coffin." ”
There was a soft click, and Liu Yuan was not given any time to react, and the arc baffle quickly stretched forward, locking him inside, and the entire boat was closed.
"You're covering my coffin. After Liu Yuan smiled bitterly and couldn't finish this sentence, he felt his head groggy, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he closed it completely.
I don't know how long it took, when Liu Yuan woke up again, he felt that he had a very real dream, in the dream he was standing in the lobby of the Shanyuan Inn, and the surrounding scene did not change in the slightest, but it was a little dim.
He took a step a little stiffly, and the familiar voice in his head sounded again: Successfully copy the scene, successfully capture the character, deduce the background of the character, and begin!
But in two breaths, lines of words appeared out of thin air in the air in front of Liu Yuan's eyes.
The words jumped out one by one, only to see that it was written: The Great Wei Dynasty... The rivers and lakes are bloody... Jianyuan Imperial Pavilion... Emperor Wu of Wei stepped on the world... History is known as book burning and destroying heroes.
Seeing the end, Liu Yuan blurted out: "Your grandmother's, isn't this the saint today." ”
