Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Star-Chaser Thief
Time passed like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Wu had been in the Shenjian Valley for nearly a year.
On the fifteenth day of the first month of the Great Yuan calendar, the Lantern Festival.
On the fifteenth day of every month, Chen Wu would go down the mountain to buy wine for his unreliable master Huanglong Daoist.
Today is no exception, early in the morning, Chen Wuchen finished practicing, pasted the wind talisman, and after reporting to the disciples guarding the mountain gate, he performed light skills and galloped all the way down the mountain.
After this period of hard cultivation, Chen Wu had already entered the second layer of the Tibetan Sea Realm a month ago, and at this time, he performed light skills, coupled with the bonus of the wind talisman, the whole person was like a gust of fresh wind, and he was like walking on the ground in the dense mountains and forests.
The breeze is blowing, the breath in the mountains is particularly fresh, Chen Wu is in an extremely happy mood at this time, every month, his happiest thing is to go down the mountain.
Sunset Town, a mortal town adjacent to the Canglong Mountain Range, has been here almost every month to buy wine for the Huanglong Dao people during this time, so he is relatively familiar with this place.
It's Chinese New Year's Eve, and the whole town is enveloped in laughter, lights everywhere, shelves on the old side of the street, and all kinds of shouting and cheering, which looks particularly lively.
Walking on the street, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians and vendors coming and going on the road, Chen Wu couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to be in the mortal world!"
After taking a few deep breaths, along with the aroma of wine, Chen Wu walked forward while looking at the goods coming and going.
As early as when he was young, Chen Wu was originally a lover of alcohol, but after starting a family, he was no longer as addicted to alcohol as before.
During this time in Shenjian Valley, I don't know if it was because of the influence of the Huanglong Dao people and Su Xingbai, the wine worms in Chen Wu's stomach became active again, and every time he bought wine for the Huanglong Dao people, Chen Wu would leave a small half to drink by himself.
"Hongfu Restaurant!"
Looking at the plaque at the door, Chen Wu sighed slightly in his heart, the industry of this Hongfu Restaurant is huge, and in the territory of Chen Tang Kingdom, there will be such a restaurant in almost every city.
Smelling the aroma of wine and vegetables coming from the restaurant, Chen Wu took out a few pieces of silver taels given to him by Feng Dachun from the storage bag before striding in.
At this time, it was close to noon, and it was time for dinner, and as soon as he entered the restaurant, Chen Wu was immediately attracted by the noisy sound.
"It seems to be back to the days when I wandered the rivers and lakes again!"
Chen Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
chose a window seat in the restaurant, and Chen Wu sat down leisurely.
After a while, a junior two stepped forward, stood beside Chen Wu, and said with a smile on his face: "Objective, here we go again, I don't know if it's still the same as usual?"
"Well, as usual, three side dishes, a pot of good wine, and a few jars of daughter red to pack and take away!" Chen Wu also replied with a smile, and at the same time took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the little er.
"Good Rat!" The little second got the broken silver, and the smile on his face was even worse, and said: "Guest officer, wait a minute, the good wine and food will be there soon!"
After a while, the wine and food were ready, Chen Wu picked up the wine jug, poured a glass, took a sip, and then picked up the chopsticks with satisfaction and ate and drank.
The wine was delicious, the food was good, and after a while, Chen Wu wiped out all the wine and food on the table, leaving only some leftovers.
After being full of wine and food, Chen Wu looked satisfied, beckoned, and called Xiao Er over.
Chen Wudao: "Send those daughters to my room, I'll go out for a walk first, and I'll be back in a while!"
The little second immediately replied: "Okay, you can rest assured, our store has prepared the best daughter red for you, and it will be delivered to your room in a while." ”
"Hmm!" Chen Wu nodded, and at the same time took out a few ingots of silver from his arms again, and threw them to Xiao Er before getting up and walking out.
"That's right, guest officer!" After Xiao Er took the silver, he suddenly stopped Chen Wu.
"Something?" asked Chen Wu.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!" The little two immediately smiled: "It's just that there is a light show in Sunset Town tonight, and I want to recommend the guest officer to go and see it." ”
"Oh!" Chen Wu nodded, the light show, I haven't seen it for a long time, since Sunset Town also has it tonight, then you might as well go and take a look.
Sunset Town, Chen Wu had not been here before joining Shenjian Valley, just looking at the pedestrians and traders coming and going, Chen Wu suddenly felt that everything in front of him was so familiar, but at the same time, it was so unfamiliar.
Walking down the street, a trace of melancholy suddenly rose in Chen Wu's heart, and he felt that his current self was like a passerby, and he was a little out of place with this world.
Just when Chen Wu was stunned, Chen Wu suddenly felt a loosening of his waist, and when he came back to his senses, a storage bag that had been pinned to his waist had disappeared.
"Stolen?!"
Chen Wu smiled dumbly, turned around, only to see a slender figure disappear into the crowd.
The storage bag was stolen, Chen Wu was not worried, there was his aura mark on it, if it wasn't for him, or someone whose cultivation far surpassed him, he wouldn't be able to open the storage bag.
Moreover, as long as it was within the range of his spiritual power sense, Chen Wu could know where the storage bag had gone at any time.
Following the induction between him and the storage bag, Chen Wu soon came to an alley, and the person who stole his storage bag was standing in place at this time, as if waiting for Chen Wu's arrival.
Looking at the slender figure in front of him, a trace of remembrance flashed in Chen Wu's eyes, and then he said: "I can't imagine that the star-chasing thief will actually make a move on a drunkard now!"
The figure turned around, but it was a short man with a wisp of goatee and an extremely ordinary face, it was really the star-chasing thief Shen Chaxing in Chen Wu's mouth.
After Shen Chaixing threw the storage bag back to Chen Wu, he smiled and said, "Hmph! It's you drunkard who stole it!"
Chen Wu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that you have four don't steal, one doesn't steal monks, two don't steal drunkards and gamblers, three don't steal girls and children, and four don't steal scholars, why, if you come to me today, it won't be a word?!"
Shen Chaixing also smiled: "Hehe, are you still a drunkard, tell me, since you got married, how long have you not been drunk!"
After that, Shen Chaixing seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked: "In Chen Tang Kingdom, there are wanted notices everywhere about you, saying that you are in peace with the Chen family and betraying the country, why, it's been almost a year, and you haven't been caught by those people yet!"
Chen Wu's expression was stunned, but in an instant, a smile resurfaced, the past has passed, besides, those hatreds, those revenge, and the doppelgangers have all said, let him bear it, and now, Chen Wu has also seen it.
"Yes, I haven't been drunk for a long time! The matter of Chen Tangguo has passed, so you and I don't want to mention it again. Chen Wu paused and continued: "One year, yes, it's been a year, thank you for remembering, I've been fine this year, and I haven't been caught by those people yet!"
Shen Chaixing looked at Chen Wu and saw that he seemed to be relieved, so he said: "It's okay if you haven't been caught, if you are caught, no one in this river and lake will be able to catch up with me!"
"Haha!" When Chen Wu heard this, he immediately smiled: "I didn't expect you to remember that agreement, okay, then today you and I will compare and see whose light skills are better!"
"Okay, I've improved a lot over the years, and today, I won't be caught up by you again!" Shen Chaixing nodded and agreed.
After that, Shen Chaixing's body turned, leaving gusts of wind and sand, and he had already disappeared in place.
"Good!"
Chen Wu shouted, exerted force under his feet, and did not use spiritual power, so he relied on light skills and body techniques, followed the trail of Shen Chasing Xing's departure, and chased him out in an instant.
As early as more than ten years ago, there were rumors on the rivers and lakes that Chen Wu was the first in terms of financial resources and alcohol, Shen Chasing Xing was the first in light skills, Xiao Ao was the first in swordsmanship, and Aoki Daoren was the first in cooking...
After so many years of cultivation, Shen Chaixing's light skills are indeed as he said, and they have indeed reached a higher level. Its figure is like a ghost, this moment it is still above the ground, and the next moment, the person is already on the top of the building.
Shen Chasing Star is in front, Chen Wu is behind, both of them are very high, even in the crowded and lively street market, the two of them can not touch a piece.
You chased after me, and soon, the two of them had already arrived outside Sunset Town.
On top of a pagoda, as soon as Shen Chaixing's figure was settled, Chen Wu had already arrived.
"It's not comparable, it's not comparable!" Shen Chaixing gasped, waved his hand at Chen Wu, and then sat on the pagoda with a skin.
"Why, I haven't contributed yet, so you can't compare?" Chen Wu smiled and asked.
"Hmph, I said that if I don't compare, I won't compare!" Shen Chaixing ignored Chen Wu's ridicule, and continued: "Don't think that I don't know, the royal family of Chen Tang Kingdom is spreading everywhere, saying that you have obtained the inheritance of the Nanhua Immortals, and now it is estimated that you have already cultivated and become a monk." Hmph, I'm not that stupid, I'll try to compete with you monk again!"
"Huh?!" Chen Wu was slightly stunned, and then realized, thinking that after Chen Tian went back, he had already told him that he had obtained the inheritance of the Nanhua Immortals, thus covering up the news that he had obtained the other half.
"Yes and no!" Chen Wu explained, "I have already started to cultivate, but I am not the inheritance of the Nanhua Immortal who cultivated, but I worshiped under the sect of Shen Sword Valley. ”
"What, you entered the Sinking Sword Valley Gate!?" Shen Chaixing immediately said in surprise.
"Hmm!" Chen Wu nodded, acknowledging it.
"You're really lucky!" Shen Chaixing said with an envious face, he came to Sunset Town to worship in the Sinking Sword Valley, but he had been wandering here for nearly two years, and he couldn't even go deep into the Canglong Mountain Range, so how could he worship in the Sinking Sword Valley.
"Hehe!" Chen Wu smiled, and the words from the clone sounded in his mind: "Let Shen Chasing Star come to me, I'll be useful!"
Looking at Shen Chaixing, although Chen Wu didn't know what it was for the clone, he still asked, "You just want to worship in the Shen Sword Valley so much?"
"Of course, I am already the first in light martial arts among the rivers and lakes, but what about your cultivation world?" Shen Chaixing nodded and said, "Besides, after cultivation, you can live forever, immortal!"
"Oh!" Chen Wu bowed his head and continued to ask, "Then what if I have a way to let you practice without entering the Sinking Sword Valley?"
"What's the idea!?" When Shen Chaixing heard this, he stood up suddenly, grabbed Chen Wu's hands, and asked excitedly.
"It's not a method!" Chen Wu paused and continued: "As long as you go to Chen Tang Kingdom Flying Flower City and find a person named Beidou, that person will give you a chance to practice!"
"Really?" Shen Chaixing asked incredulously.
"Really!"
