White Rock City and Shrimp Fishing Lake will no longer go around, let's go to the Bean Soldier City first, as for Twilight Mountain, it is not a question of whether to go or not. In Jiang Mohang's eyes, the boiled noodle pool in the northwest is the most dangerous, and for Zhang Muliu, if he goes to that twilight mountain, it is almost the same as seeking death.

In fact, there are three monk cities, and the one Zhang Muliu wants to go to the most is the White Stone City. The landscape is secondary, just when he hears the word white stone, the young man is a little fascinated. Zhang Muliu likes Shixian's verses, but he really can't empathize. Because at a very high time, the little aunt gave Zhang Muliu a book of Suzi words, and the little boy at that time often held a book for the first time.

As far as Yu Qu is concerned, Zhang Muliu's favorite is the sentence "Zhuxi is a good place, and the saddle is less stationed at the beginning." ”

The White Stone Valley, which should actually be called the White Stone Cave Heaven, is said to have been a place where a certain scholar once lived in seclusion, so there is a red medicine bridge in the city that is exactly the same as a city in the south of Shengshen Continent, and there are also singers who play and sing Yangzhou slowly every day.

Li Qiushui has long seen this guy's thoughts. I don't know when it started, the two looked at each other and guessed what was going on in each other's minds.

It's weird, but when you think about it, it makes sense. As the old saying goes, that makes sense.

So the woman in red smiled and asked, "Do you want to hear me play the piano?"

Zhang Muliu nodded and said of course. The young man always remembered that she said that the first thing she liked was the art of the piano.

That bean soldier city, even if Jiang Mohang didn't say it, the young man still wanted to go there.

The world looks peaceful, but in fact, many people are fighting bloody battles almost every day for the survival of the human race. With Mount Meru as the center, the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest are extremely far away, and there is a ferry port in the place where the sea and the sky meet. Almost every day, there will be foreign monsters coming from the sky, and there are always monks from all continents who will go to the place that can actually be regarded as a border city, where there are swords and swords, and money comes out.

The four continents each occupy four directions, but in fact they are more like four pillars, or cornerstones. Taking Shengshenzhou as an example, the East China Sea is the closest to the sky, as long as someone dares to sail to the east, they will definitely be able to reach the sky.

And Fusang is a border city that guards the land of a continent.

This world is not a round sky, but a round sky, and the earth is round. Therefore, the southernmost point of Zhanbu Continent is also the same as the easternmost part of Shengshen Continent. It's just that Zhanbu Continent is the weakest of the four continents, and it has no ability to push the battle line far beyond the mainland, so it can only use a small island as a city to defend against monsters.

There are four border cities in the four continents, and in the east of Fusang in Shengshen Continent, that city is called Fuyao. The border city of Kuluzhou is a springless city standing alone in the ice field. There are many monks in Niu Hezhou, so that city is called Futu City. And Zhanbu Prefecture is this bean soldier city that sounds very powerless.

What exactly is that monster and where it came from, Zhang Muliu also doesn't know. He only knew that before the continent was divided, there were various races working together to resist the monsters outside the sky.

The woman who is getting better and better in Zhang Muliu's eyes actually wants to go to Waterfront City the most.

The reason why it is said that the monks who fish for shrimp lake are all in the eyes of money is because the shops in the waterfront city do everything to make money. The most attractive thing is that there are many women's favorite gadgets, such as a pendant made of gold outside the sky, a bracelet made of Sumeru Mountain stone, and the most helpless is the most expensive bronze mirror in the waterfront city, but the most worry-free to sell.

Li Qiushui was naturally not interested in these, and Zhang Muliu once asked: "Do you want to buy some rouge gouache?"

When the woman heard this, she first smiled disdainfully, and then squinted her eyes and asked, "My Zhang Gongzi dares to dislike me for not looking good?

The woman never liked to put anything on her face, except for the little novelties.

After the two of them left the sphere of influence of the three sects, Zhang Muliu took out a bell with a strange pattern and a dilapidated lamp from his sleeve.

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "The shopkeeper must be a cultivator in the dark of the Tomb Cliff Mountain, who is good at soil law. The bell and the lamp were taken away by me, and he suffered a great loss. ”

The appearance of the wealth fan who had been hiding for a long time from Qiushui finally couldn't hide it, so he stepped forward to pick up the bell, and after taking a sigh, he kept wiping it with his sleeve, and his eyes were about to become square holes.

The young man stepped forward and said helplessly: "This bell is an imitation of the soul bell, although it is an imitation, it is at least five points similar to the real thing. I can't see the head, but I can feel that it is a magic weapon that is not inferior to the brazier in my hand. ”

The woman smiled more and more happily when she heard this, for her, the happiest thing was to spend money and earn money, but now there was one more with him. Zhang Muliu looked at the woman who was obsessed with money, and for some reason, he just thought she was very cute.

The two of them went all the way to the southwest, and when they arrived at Bean Soldier City, they always had to learn the methods of monsters.

......

If you look down on Zhanbu Island from a very high place, the whole land is green, except for the rivers and lakes, there is not a single color on the side.

All lay people have to pick a good day and an auspicious day when they get married, and few people marry the bride in the middle of the night.

That night, on the road, two young people, a man and a woman, dressed as a scholar, dressed in a green shirt and carrying a large cage. The woman is dressed as a chivalrous woman, dressed in red, with a long sword behind her back, quite heroic.

There are constantly people beating gongs and drums in front of them, and the sound of suona is constant.

The woman in red said, "In the middle of the night, there are still people who are married, right?"

The scholar smiled: "Some people's birthdays are relatively rare, and there are many things to avoid, so although there are few marriages at night, there are some." ”

The woman sighed and asked, "Then should we also get out of the way?"

When the scholar heard this, he replied: "There will be a pathfinder ahead, usually the maiden daughter, and she will tell us whether to back down or not." ”

As he spoke, a woman who did not look very old but had gray hair approached the two of them.

The woman bowed slightly, smiled and asked, "Where did you come from and where are you going?"

Zhang Muliu secretly pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in his belly: "From the east soil, go to the west sky." ”

She didn't have to think about it to know what was going on in this guy's mind, so she stepped forward, clasped her fists, and said to the woman: "We are from the country of Jixi in the north, and we want to take a look at the sea in the south." ”

The woman's expression was a little weird, as if she was relieved, but she seemed to be very disappointed, and she struggled for a long time before she squeezed out a smile and said: "My niece is married, and I should have invited the two of you to have a drink to be happy, but now it is really inconvenient, please leave the two of you quickly." ”

Zhang Muliu asked, "Do you need us to take a detour?"

The woman said, "No, the two of you and my girl don't have taboos, just walk over." ”

Zhang Muliu nodded, pulled away from Qiushui and walked forward.

The woman in red frowned and said to the scholar: "I feel that something is wrong, what is going on?"

The scholar said lightly: "Guess what kind of mountain god or river god to marry." ”

Li Qiushui was almost angry, and said with a gloomy face: "Where are there any mountain gods and river gods now? I think there are mountain demons and river demons to make trouble." No, we'll have to follow along. ”

The young man is helpless, it seems that the person who will be the master of the house in the future will definitely not be his turn.

The sedan chair was about to come, and the two stood on the side of the road far away, with their backs to the family send-off procession. As they walked by, the two looked at each other, both puzzled. The woman in the sedan chair was not a little sad, but very happy.

At this moment, Zhang Muliu's curiosity was also aroused, and the two of them hid their bodies and followed the family sending team all the way forward.

Except for the bride sitting in the sedan chair, the family is full of sadness, especially the couple in the back, whose faces are very ugly.

This makes people a little confused, is it possible that a woman marries the person she wants to marry, but her family disagrees?

Li Qiushui pinched the flesh on the young man's waist, looked like he had already seen the truth, and said to Zhang Muliu: "Why do you want to do so much?

Zhang Muliu nodded, and said "obey".

After walking for about four or five miles, the greeting team was already waiting there. There are no spirits, but they are all young people with strong blood and energy.

Zhang Muliu couldn't figure it out, what was going on? The woman in red was already sneering on the side, and Zhang Muliu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers.

This technique of derivation was not learned in a dream. When he was a child, Zhang Muliu had a feeling that he could always find many things with some clues. There are some seemingly irrelevant things, which are the easiest for Zhang Muliu to associate with one place. Later, I learned that my mother was a monk of the Yin and Yang family.

After some deference, Zhang Muliu was a little funny and a little angry. This family is too speechless.

He explained to Li Qiushui: "The bride and the groom like each other, both are big families, and the groom is a chivalrous man with a slight reputation in the rivers and lakes. Originally, it was the right family, but the bride's family was always holding back to marry their daughter to the gods, so they picked a night to let their daughter get married, and it was convenient for a so-called river god not far away to rob the family. ”

Li Qiushui scolded: "This family is too shameless, what do you do with your daughter?

Zhang Muliu shook his head, pulled away from the autumn water in a flash, and went to the Bangping River.

On the bank of the Nabangping River, a young scholar waved his hand and popped out a wisp of fire into the river, and the river as far as his eye could see boiled in an instant, and a short middle-aged man came out of it in a short time. The man was dressed in a dragon robe, the top of his head was bare, and his two beards hung straight from the corners of his mouth to his waist.

As soon as the middle-aged man jumped out of the river, he knelt on the bank of the river, kowtowing like pounding garlic, and even his voice trembled a little: "Two ...... Great immortal, I don't know where the little demon offended you?"

Li Qiushui looked at this loach spirit and sneered: "Isn't Lord River God going to rob relatives?"

When the loach spirit heard this, he burst into tears, and stammered, "This ...... Which one is the thousand...... The little loach I have cultivated since I have been trying my best to protect the water and soil, this Bangping River since I came, but it is really not flooded when it is waterlogged, and there is no shortage of water when it is dry!"

Zhang Muliu asked with a smile: "Didn't the family who sent your relatives tonight beg you to rob your relatives?"

As if he had been wronged, the loach spirit had a lot of tears and snot, and said while kowtowing: "Great immortal! Little loach, I am just a little elf, don't I go to rob my relatives to find death? Not to mention that I don't like Terran women, I have a lot of beautiful female fish and shrimp in the Bangping River, why am I bothering to do that." Fang Yuanwai did beg me to rob my relatives, but I didn't agree to him. This old guy is bent on cultivating immortals, but where do I have that ability. ”

This little loach essence is also enough to make a cough, and his words made Zhang Muliu laugh constantly. So the scholar with a cage on his back smiled and asked, "Loach wants to practice, but it is not easy, have you had any chance? ”

Hearing this, the loach spirit hurriedly said: "It's not inconvenient, I'm just afraid, even if I say it, the two of you don't believe it." ”

Zhang Muliu said something to make him stand up and said, the loach spirit slowly straightened up, and did not dare to raise his head, it can be said that he has a strong desire to survive.

He said slowly: "More than 20 years ago, I was still a little loach who had just opened my mind, and I was the king in this Bangping River, leading a river of fish and shrimp, but I was also comfortable. Until one day, a crazy sword fairy passed by me, and he didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, and slashed a sword into the sky, and a crystal palace fell to me in the Bangping River. That sword frightened me, I thought it was a passing immortal who wanted to kill demons, but who knew that the great immortal only told me that after I got the crystal palace, I should protect the people, otherwise I would be arrested and stewed with tofu. It was through this Dragon Palace that I transformed into a human, so I didn't dare to hurt the people of a place even if I killed me. ”

Zhang Muliu's face was strange when he heard this, this style is Mr. Ma. It's just that he is full of food, why did he cut down the dragon palace of the people? Jiang Mohang definitely knew about this, so he let himself go to Doubing City first.

Li Qiushui was puzzled: "Is it really your unknown master who did it?"

The conversation between the two did not spread, and as soon as the loach spirit heard that the great sword immortal who had been a scholar for many years was the master of this great immortal who looked like a scholar, he was a little unstable. I saw that the loach spirit knelt on the ground again, and cried out with a handful of snot and tears: "Grandpa Great Immortal, are you sent by the Great Sword Immortal to kill me? I really haven't done anything bad all these years, I don't believe you can go and inquire." ”

Zhang Muliu said helplessly: "Okay, we just happened to pass by here, you just guard your Dragon Palace, don't harm people." ”

With a few words, the two disappeared. Only a sweaty loach spirit remains, this "river god" master. He leaned back, sat down on the riverbank, wiped his sweat and said:

"Damn! It's only been 20 years, and an apprentice can make boiled loaches. In another 20 years, what if the apprentice's apprentice comes again? Isn't that going to be a dish of loach and tofu? No, from now on, the people on both sides of the Bangping River will be my father and my mother, and his mother can be my ancestor. ”

In a small town dozens of miles away, although it was mostly in the middle of the night, it was still a gong and drum that shook the sky. That Fang Yuanwai was restless at the moment, he had been waiting for the river god to come and snatch his kiss earlier, but he didn't want the river god to come at the moment.

He thought that if his daughter married a fairy, he would be able to get into the light, and maybe he could become an immortal. But when I saw my girl's happy appearance along the way, I softened my heart.

People's hearts are made of flesh, where are there parents who don't love their children?

So this Fang member waited until his daughter and son-in-law worshiped heaven and earth, and said sorry in a trembling voice, and explained the reason in a few words, and asked the son-in-law to run away with his daughter.

I thought that my daughter and son-in-law would blame him, but I didn't expect that the old in-laws came over and took his hand and said: "Actually, we all know about this, don't be afraid of the river god, our He family ancestors have been playing with knives and guns for generations, and if he dares to come, we dare to fight." ”

Miss Fang lifted the hijab on her head, and the woman with tears on her face choked up and said, "I thought that my father was determined to take his daughter as a trading object." ”

The two families were crying, and at this moment, a woman in a long blue dress and carrying an ice crystal sword suddenly appeared in the air, and disappeared after saying a word.

The fairy said, "The river god has no intention of robbing the family, so you can live a good life." ”

There was a scholar in a green shirt sitting on the clouds, leaning on a woman in red on the side, and a blue light returned to the woman's body.

Li Qiushui shook his legs and said happily: "Thanks to his own honesty with his daughter, otherwise I would have taught him a lesson." ”

The young man on the side smiled and said, "Where are there parents who don't care for their children?"

As soon as he said a word, Zhang Muliu regretted it a little, and the woman next to him hated her father the most. Just as she was about to say a few flattering words to him, the woman suddenly hugged Zhang Muliu's arm and said:

"Back to Shengshenzhou, will you accompany me to see my father?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and nodded.

Above the sea of clouds, a woman in red took out a lyre, sat in front of this imitation Jiaowei, slowly stroked the piano, and sang:

"Huaizuo Mingdu, Zhuxi is the best place, and the saddle is less stationed at the beginning. Ten miles of spring breeze. The wheat is green. Since Huma peeped into the river, the waste pond arbors, still tired of talking soldiers. It is gradually dusk, and the clear corner blows cold. It's all in the empty city. ”

The man on the side smiled and said, "Where is the beauty of autumn water?"

The woman made a big red face, but Zhang Muliu didn't think so. The young man took out a bracelet from his bosom, handed it to Liqiushui, and said gently:

"It's not as expensive as what is sold in the waterfront city, but it's made from a piece of jade that I picked up in the belly of the kun. ”

Liqiushui put away the scorched tail, snatched the turquoise bracelet, and found that the size was quite appropriate when he wore it. So she turned her back to Zhang Muliu and pretended to be serious:

"Good performance, keep up the good work. ”

......

There are two large rivers in Zhanbu Prefecture, both of which flow from the central part to the north and south, and the source is difficult to find. Because the two great rivers run through the continent, and at both ends are the sea, but in the rivers are fresh water.

It stands to reason that the two of them go south by boat, the most time-saving, but all the way across the continent, the ferry has to sit and vomit, and they don't take the boat from the autumn water to death, so they can only resist the wind and sword, and stop and walk slowly when they see a good scenery. Both of them are actually nosy, but some things can't be managed, and it's useless to manage them.

When the road is uneven, you can draw your sword, but after you draw your sword, can you completely stabilize this place?

Of course, Zhang Muliu heard about the follow-up of the Xiguo. The whole country does not know how many people have been beheaded, but can you kill 10,000 people in exchange for a girl's life?

How slow is the process of growing up, one year to babble, two years to walk steadily, and the next ten years are actually the most corrective time. The words and actions of those who are always around you are especially important, and most of them are.

Zhang Muliu once heard a story told on the road, about a woman whose mother was away from home all the year round, but her father was at home without caring for the family, and was taken care of by her grandparents.

When I was young, I was very sensible, I knew that I would leave delicious food to my grandparents, and I knew that it was hard to earn money, so I never wanted to spend money indiscriminately. But after she often associated with a woman older than her, she became ignorant. At that time, her grandfather was dead, and her father and mother didn't care about the family's affairs at all, and the salt she ate was almost unaffordable, and the woman stole the life-saving money kept by the family to buy wine and share food with others. So angry that her grandmother died soon after. The woman did not shed a single tear, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she left with a foreign man, and after being pregnant with the child of the foreign man, she was abandoned, and she returned to her hometown alone, and hanged herself in front of his father's house.

The storyteller said that it was because when the woman grew up, she always felt that the world was very unfair, why did others have their fathers and mothers to take care of them, but the woman was like a superfluous thing in the eyes of her father's mother, and she didn't even cook a meal for her until she died.

After listening to the story, Zhang Muliu let out a long sigh, and some didn't know how to comment. After a long time, he said softly: "It does have a relationship, but it's not all because of this. ”

At that time, Zhang Muliu couldn't say why it wasn't all right, but now he has some ideas, and he doesn't vomit or be unhappy.

The young man with a silver-black sword on his back said to the woman beside him:

"When people are first born, it is difficult to understand good and evil. Acquired education is certainly useful, but it is not only to teach people to do good, but to teach people to discern. ”

"When I was young, I learned from others, both in terms of how I behaved and how I looked at this world. Regardless of men and women, they will have their own ideas after Erqi, and they will gradually have their own set of rules for dealing with people. If you can't discern for yourself, it's in vain. ”

Li Qiushui said: "Not everyone in this world can have a gentleman who teaches him to discern, not everyone is still willing to treat the world with kindness after being treated with malice by the world. I would have treated others as they had done to me. ”

The young man paused, the question again difficult for him to answer.

Just like Han Cheng's sentence, "Is it true that those who are of the same heart are of the same race?"

is also like Mo Miaomiao asked, "Since everything in the world has a spirit, what you eat should be counted as killing?"

The woman in red stretched out her finger and lightly tapped the young man's forehead, and her voice was very gentle:

"Fool! My mother will last alone until I grow up, and I may be able to enter the Tao with the piano, but I will be disturbed by Daddy's selfish desires. Does this count as being treated with evil thoughts by the world?"

"Uncle was framed, the arrest was plastered all over the continent, so many people died in your hometown, and you were used as a pawn, and you were calculated endlessly in and out of your dreams, is this considered to be treated with evil thoughts by the world?"

"Shengshenzhou Jiuze reappeared, countless predecessors turned their lives into stone statues, just to stop the flood, have they ever complained to others?"

Zhang Muliu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "That's what the truth says, but it's not always a taste in my heart." ”

A woman who has read very little has taught a lesson to young people who have been reading a lot today. She whispered:

"They, or we, never thought about why this was the case, just thought, how I wanted to. ”

The young man with the sword on his back smiled and said, "Yes! The difference between good thoughts and evil thoughts lies in how I want to." ”
