If you talk about the major events on the rivers and lakes in recent years, it should be the birth of the ethereal building.

To say that in recent years, the most mysterious and fastest-rising force in the rivers and lakes is also the Ethereal Building.

The ethereal building, as the name suggests, is mysterious, ethereal, and difficult to see.

Piaoyi Tower is a small white building, a force with unknown details, and a place that people in the rivers and lakes have recognized, aweed and even longed for and worshiped in less than three years.

Piaoyi Building is located in the mountains and forests not far from Meizhen, as if it appeared out of thin air, no one knows when it was built, when the door plaque was hung up, who is the owner of the building, it seems to be ...... It was there, and it hasn't changed.

The ethereal tower is observed by people, because of the couplet on its door that appeared at some point: the flying mirror under the moon, and the cloud is born and the sea tower is born.

Regardless of the meaning of the couplet, what attracted the attention of countless people and admired it was the handsome word. Although I haven't seen the person who writes, just looking at the handwriting makes people feel that there is a sense of bearing in the depths of the mountain, and gives birth to a sense of shame, especially the three words "ethereal building" written on the door plaque, which is more like the towering mountain in the future, and no one dares to cross the thunder pond one step. This mysterious and ethereal momentum alone is enough to make people yearn for surrender.

At first, it was countless literati and scholars who came to appreciate the words, but as the fog shrouded the building soon after, people in the rivers and lakes also began to pay attention to this building.

The white mist has no lethal power, but those who enter the fog are all trapped in the fog without exception, and it is difficult to find a way out.

If that's the case, it's nothing, and what's even more puzzling is that there is no one in the ethereal building, but the traps in it are really eye-opening. I don't know who arranged it, although I don't mean to kill, so the power is not enough to kill, but it seems to be able to anticipate the enemy's first opportunity and step on a quasi, even if your martial arts are superb, you can also make you cry bitterly.

The only consolation is that at dusk, a large group of white pigeons will fly in from nowhere to lead the way, leading the hapless eggs who have been trapped for nearly a day and exhausted, but what is incomprehensible is that no matter how much people search, they can't find the pigeon trainer, which is also quite creepy.

So people regard the ethereal building as a ghost building, and they are itching in their hearts while staying away.

This phenomenon did not last long, because soon after the rivers and lakes caused an uproar because of the Ethereal Building, just because all the well-known people in the rivers and lakes received an invitation from the Ethereal Building.

On March 10th, in the ethereal building, the world will meet the world's elegant scholars with literature, and discuss the heroes of the world with martial arts.

Signature: Drifting Child.

The rivers and lakes were in an uproar.

Not only because of the tone of the Drifting Tower, but also because of the mystery of the way the Drifting Mansion sends letters.

Whether it is a first-class force or a hegemonic force, everyone received the invitation without realizing it, and none of the letters received were confused, and none of the famous ones in the rivers and lakes were missing, as if they were ...... Everyone's whereabouts and details are controlled by the ethereal son. What's even more gasping is that although the seniors in the rivers and lakes received the invitation, none of them knew what method the ethereal building used, which was more terrible for the people of the rivers and lakes than seeing a ghost.

Therefore, on the 10th of March, either out of curiosity or out of jealousy, all those who received the invitation actually gave enough face to the ethereal son, and all of them were absent and went one after another.

The next day, the participants returned separately, but what made countless heroes of the rivers and lakes dumbfounded was that the seniors who returned were secretive about the Drifting Tower, and they kept silent about the Drifting Tower, and seemed to be very jealous. What's even more surprising is that many people in the rivers and lakes and even the unruly heroes have more or less revealed their intention to join the Floating Tower.

As for how many people joined the Ethereal Tower after that, it is also a mystery.

If the above things surprise everyone, then the evaluation of Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes of "convincing the world in talking and laughing, and Wuding rivers and mountains by walking" is that everyone can no longer sit still, and their curiosity about the ethereal building has reached the extreme. The evaluation of this sentence is too high, so high that if the ethereal tower can't deter everyone, it will become an existence that the whole rivers and lakes and even the three major empires will covet.

This is the reason why the so-called puffer is innocent and guilty.

In this regard, Piaoyilou expressed his confidence and attitude with "Wenxiao is about the affairs of the world, and it is difficult to defeat the army", and promised that if the price is enough, Piaoyilou can do anything for those in difficulty that does not exceed the bottom line of Piaoyilou.

In the next two years, the Drifting House also lived up to expectations, 'Whoever asks will be answered, and everything that should be done will be done'. Because of this omnipotent trend, Piaoyilou has become the third hegemonic force in people's hearts in addition to Qiao Bang and Poplar League in just over two years, and its status in people's consciousness is even higher than that of the two hegemonic forces.

is in the rivers and lakes, but transcendent in the rivers and lakes. It is a holy place in the hearts of the people of the rivers and lakes, a fairy building, a god who can fulfill all people's wishes. Because of this, although the people of the Drifting Tower rarely walk the rivers and lakes, their status is very prominent, and no one dares to provoke the Drifting Tower.

There are four should not be in the Drifting Tower, the killer should not be, the marriage should not be, the evil man should not be, and the imperial power should not be. That is, all requests such as the search for killers will not be accepted, matters related to marriage will not be accepted, all evil things will not be accepted, and matters related to imperial power will not be accepted. This is the principle and bottom line of the ethereal building, and those who touch it will be regarded as a provocation at their own risk.

It is precisely because of the existence of these bottom lines and principles that the rivers and lakes not only saw the omnipotence of the Drifting Tower, but also saw the benefits of its minions, so in the face of the Drifting Tower, there are really few people in the huge rivers and lakes who dare to provoke, even if the two hegemonic forces and many people who are beyond the empire are also respectful.

The sky was gloomy and scary.

It is the early spring season, but the cold winter does not seem to be willing to leave quietly in obscurity, and casually in this early spring that has just warmed up for a few days, and brewed a heavy snow, which is a farewell to people.

The cold wind was very strong, and the originally silent woods made a 'rustling' sound, and the clear stream was also swept up in broken dead branches and leaves, showing depression.

Among the trees, beside the stream, a simple thatched hut stood stubbornly in the wind.

If it is on a beautiful day, there must be a small bridge and flowing water, but in today's bad weather, it will only seem extremely lonely and small.

The hut was very simple, with only two low beds, a wooden table and a few benches, and there was nothing in sight.

There are people in the house, and there are many people, there are as many as six people, which makes this simple thatched hut more warm and lively.

A young man with a pale face was half-lying on the bed reading a book. The boy looked twelve or thirteen years old at most, perhaps younger, but the calm and calm between the boy's eyebrows, which did not belong to his peers, made him look much more mature. The boy was born very handsome, and even the beauty is not abrupt, even if he is very haggard now, it still makes people feel amazing. He seemed to be very sick, but the seriousness with which he flipped through the book and the stubbornness between his eyebrows made it difficult to interrupt his contemplation, even if it was for him to rest for a while.

The middle-aged man closest to the boy is named Yu Yi, and he is the boy's personal guard and housekeeper. He was born very ordinary, but there is iron blood and fortitude between his eyebrows, which makes him look very extraordinary.

The middle-aged man on the other side of Yu Yi is named Tao Jingyuan, who retired ten years ago. is a bit stereotyped, once because he saw the boy in the tavern ridiculing Yu Yi and angrily scolded him for not knowing the manners, and then was impressed by the boy's outstanding knowledge, and was willing to follow the boy.

The middle-aged beauty on the other side of Tao Jingyuan is named Li Lu, known as the Butterfly of Change, known for her disguise and treachery, and she was followed by the teenager for ten days because of her playfulness of the teenager's anger, during which she could not get rid of how she disguised herself and caused all kinds of accidents, and she apologized to the teenager in desperation. Later, he followed him out of curiosity and respect for the young man's ability.

On the other side of Li Lu is a burly man, named King Kaiyun, known as the King of the Mountains in the rivers and lakes, is a rare innate master of the five tricks on the rivers and lakes, he followed the boy completely because of a bet with the boy, and the bet on the boy can make Wang Kaiyun lose in three moves. And so it is.

Wang Kaiyun is bold and honest and informal, and he didn't feel ashamed to lose in the hands of the young man, and he was very enthusiastic to introduce his friend Liu Jinghong to the young man, who was the last person in the house.

Liu Jinghong has a pair of thief eyebrows, which is really unlikeable. However, his fame is no less than that of the previous ones, and the 'Iron Tree Maniac' is the name of this person before he retires. The young man actually didn't want to keep Liu Jinghong, because he was too ambitious and didn't meet his own selection criteria. The reason why he was allowed to stay, on the one hand, was to consider Wang Kaiyun's feelings, and on the other hand, the young man's self-esteem was troubled.

If everything is in the control of the teenager, what is the fun of this trip to the rivers and lakes?

He was going to take a gamble and lay out a dark chess game for his future plans that even he didn't know the consequences, even if his intellect told him that it might be costly. Except for Yu Yi, the other four are all giants who have lived in seclusion for a long time, and any appearance in the rivers and lakes will cause an uproar, and if the people in the rivers and lakes know that they have followed the boy, it will definitely make the rivers and lakes shake several times.

At this time, the five people were sorting out the thick pile of letterheads collected from the Drifting Tower, and exchanged a few words in a low voice from time to time, and it was not difficult to see that these people were the core thinkers of the Drifting Tower.

It's just that from the absent-minded looks and frowning and very tangled brows of several people glancing at the young man from time to time, it can be seen that the hearts of several people are not here.

"If you can't stand it, put it aside, and waste your time in vain. I'll go see it later. The young man didn't raise his head, but he seemed to be able to see the expressions of several people, and said lightly.

"Landlord, isn't it time for you to rest for a while?" The most uncontrollable is always the most informal Wang Kaiyun, he said angrily, "What's so good about the book, won't you get dizzy when you look at it?"

Only then did the young man raise his head and say seriously: "I've been watching it for a long time?"

Yu Yi on the side nodded hurriedly, "It's been nearly two hours." ”

"How come? impossible!" The young man looked at the book in his hand suspiciously, looking a little surprised, and then turned his head to look at the letterhead sorted out by several people, smiled clearly, and said seriously: "Then we are really fated, and our heads are not good together." ”

Li Lu sneered and pushed Yu Yi, who was lying and didn't have any level at all, "Why is your head so bad?"

Yu Yi said innocently: "I'm already in a hurry." ”

The young man shook his head helplessly, how could this group of elders not look like elders at all.

Tilting his head to listen to the wind outside, the young man asked in a young voice, "It's going to snow outside?" There seemed to be a surprise in the bland and gentle tone.

"It's snowing, and you shouldn't go out, landlord. A calm but serious voice sounded from the side, and the landlord bit the two words very hard. It was Tao Jingyuan who spoke. He was born with a stern face, more like a master than the master in the private school, and he was the only person in the ethereal building who dared to manage the youth, and no one else had the courage to do so. Li Lu and the others rolled their eyes in their hearts, can't they be tactful, the landlord is still a child. There was absolutely no expression of this kind of thought on his face, and he put on a very approving look, nodding his head again and again.

The joy in the young man's eyes dimmed, and he replied lightly and planned to continue reading listlessly. With his current weak body, there seems to be nothing to do except read.

Seeing the young man's low expression, a few people felt a little uncomfortable, but if they let the young man stop reading, they should let him rest for a while. When he starts to read, everyone will feel distressed again, afraid that they will tire people, and they can't bear not to let him read. Thinking of this, the crowd began to exhort bitterly again.

"Landlord, you've been watching for almost an hour, rest for a while. ”，

"You see it's cold outside, you don't take good care of your body, what should you do if your illness gets worse again?"

"That's it, Ouyang Zi's predecessors are not here, landlord, you can be leisurely. ”

"I don't care if I get some sleep and watch it later. ”

......

The young man silently listened to a series of chatters from these old mothers, and when the group finally persuaded them, he said a little helplessly: "My body is actually not as weak as you think, didn't you go out for a spin yesterday? ”

"But landlord, your condition will get worse as soon as you get cold. It was rare for Li Lu to put away her smiling appearance, and her face was serious.

"Uh. The boy was stunned, and did not know how to answer for a while. Li Lu's words are true, so he never travels in winter, but nests in this small cabin to 'hibernate'. With a slight sigh in his heart, the young man pretended to smile awkwardly, and said with interest: "Then I'll rest for a while." ”

Several people nodded busily.

Hiding all his body in the quilt, the boy closed his eyes quietly, like an obedient child. No one knows the pain that the boy suffers every moment, and no one will know the sadness under the calm appearance of the boy: the cold in the bones, the sharp pain in the depths of the bone marrow, the powerlessness and pain that make people want to pierce themselves to a thousand holes, it is a nightmare that is worse than death for ordinary people.

Feeling the pain and cold all over his body that almost numbed him, the young man felt a little worried in his heart. The body is his own, and he knows his situation better than anyone else. In the past few years, even in the coldest season, his body would not have been so weak, perhaps...... I can't hold it anymore.

He is not afraid of death, let alone torture, but he is afraid that he will have regrets and that he will fail others.

The wind outside the window became more and more rapid, the weather became more and more gloomy, and the breathing of the young man on the bed gradually became longer and smoother.

Just when everyone thought that the young man was asleep, the young man suddenly said calmly: "Uncle Yu, after this snowfall, let's go to the Dengtian Mountain Range to have a look." ”

Everyone was startled and moved their gaze to the young man's face. But I saw that the young man was still slightly closed, and his face was very calm, as if it was their illusion just now, or maybe it was just a young man whispering.

Yu Yi shrugged helplessly, he knew the teenager better than anyone else, it was naturally not babbling, it was just that the teenager was lazy.

"Later, how about May?" he said softly, frowning.

"No, then I'm going to have to go back to hibernate before I get there. The boy said casually, half-jokingly.

But the crowd really couldn't laugh, isn't this a kind of helplessness.

"Then let's go to the Cold Valley first and see the Falling Immortal Cliff?" Li Lu gently persuaded, the distance between the Cold Valley and the Heavenly Mountain Range was much closer than that of the Ascending Mountain Range, after all, there was most of the Stream Wind Empire in the middle.

"But I still need to go around the creek and wind. The young man said helplessly, "The rivers and lakes are going to be chaotic again, and if I don't arrange something, it will be a big deal." ”

Everyone was shocked, the boy's premonition had never been missed, and this time would not be an exception.

Without waiting for a few people to respond, the young man continued, "Besides, I always have to show my face at the Dragon Festival, although I don't care what the people in the rivers and lakes think, and those few sects are not a threat, but Tianji Pavilion is worth my attention, after all, what I'm most afraid of is trouble." ”

Tianji Pavilion is recognized as the number one intelligence organization in the rivers and lakes, and it is a place that is more well-informed than Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes. However, it does not belong to the forces of the rivers and lakes or the power of the imperial court, and most of the legends of the people in the rivers and lakes were created by those mysterious sects. Because on weekdays, except for selling intelligence at a high price, he almost does not walk the rivers and lakes, and guesses that it is a trick of the sect, and people's attitude towards it is far less important than that of Miao Miao Lou and the other two major overlords. If it is said that the only thing that really makes the people of the rivers and lakes pay attention is the Dragon Festival every five years, but this is also based on the condition that Tianji Pavilion is willing to take out a lot of rare treasures as rewards, and there are also those who enter the top ten of the hidden dragon list, if they are willing, they can directly join the sect to practice. Although the people in the rivers and lakes reject the people in the sect, most of them can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour and can't get used to seeing the nostrils of the people in the sect, but if they have the opportunity to join the resource-rich sect, few people are willing to give up except for the people of the three major hegemonic forces. But this does not mean that the sect is so powerful in the eyes of the people in the rivers and lakes.

No one would have expected that the ethereal son, who was rumored to be like a fairy figure by the rivers and lakes, would put his position above the two hegemonic forces.

The crowd pouted in surprise, and they didn't seem to feel anything wrong with the young man's words that he didn't take the world's heroes to heart, and they looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to agree or oppose the young man's previous proposal for a while.

The young man still closed his eyes, but he seemed to understand the tangled expressions of several people, and made a decision for several people very understandingly, "Since none of you object, I will pay more attention to the movements of the Qiao Gang after I leave. I guess that the leader of the Qiao gang should have made a deal with those mysterious sects. After a pause, he seemed to feel that his words were a little ambiguous, and he emphasized, "It's a real deal, the kind of barter, you can see if you can intercept it." ”

Several people looked at each other.

The young man's tone suddenly became a little annoyed, "It's not the people of the rivers and lakes, they are messing up the affairs of the rivers and lakes, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic." ”

Several people heard the meaning of the young man's words, and their faces became solemn.

The young man's tone softened again, "Don't be too nervous, I'm just reminding you, it's okay if you don't cut it off." It's inevitable that the rivers and lakes will be in turmoil, and it's not a big deal to let others add to the fire, I'm just a little unhappy and complaining. ”

Several people looked at each other again.

The young man had no intention of discussing the Qiao Gang again, so he changed the topic lightly: "Pay more attention to those guys, I have worked hard to cultivate them for three years, don't let them go astray." ”

Several people no longer bothered about the young man's attitude towards the Qiao Gang, and nodded again and again.

After a pause, the young man continued, "Let them participate in the dragon feast, Ruo...... Forget it, we'll talk about it then. ”

Several people were silent for a few breaths, but still nodded.

Xu Tianwang will let him mess around again. He is not bad in nature. The boy added.

Several people seemed to think of something, and they all frowned. Wang Kaiyun said directly: "That guy always intercepts our carrier pigeons, so he is used to him?"

The young man also seemed a little helpless: "Then what can I do, he is the boss of the 'Black Dragon Cave', he can't be beaten or scolded, or he will rely on him?"

Everyone rolled their eyes in unison, what is the Black Dragon Cave, if you hadn't protected it intentionally or unintentionally, you would have scared that kid a long time ago. It's even more impossible to rely on that kid, he is very unruly and can especially cause trouble, let him enter the ethereal building and not make a fuss?

Thinking of that kid, he thought of another stinky boy who made his own decisions, Li Lu frowned and said, "Tianqing, that guy hasn't heard any news yet, what does the landlord think?"

The young man's expression changed slightly, and he opened his eyes. Several people were in a trance for a moment, and it seemed that ...... There was endless exhaustion hidden in those eyes: "No news at all?"

"Yes. Several people took their minds and replied, it must have been an illusion just now, this omnipotent child is a god, how can he be so tired?

The young man frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to a few people: "I will deal with this matter, Uncle Liu will help collect the letters from Tianqing to you recently, Uncle Yu, you can also help me sort out the letters from Tianqing to me." ”

The two agreed.

After other instructions, the room fell silent again, except for the slight sound of a few people's breathing rubbing against the letter.

With a gust of wind blowing, the heavy snow that had been brewing for a day finally fell, and the goose-feathered snow was exceptionally pure, and it didn't take long for the spring world to be covered in silver again.

Finally, the last letter was also annotated with a lot of handwriting, and several people smiled and looked at each other, and tacitly began the work before leaving: Li Lu was responsible for tidying up the letterhead, which was something that the young man had to deal with after waking up, while Wang Kaiyun and Liu Jinghong checked the doors and windows separately to prevent the doors and windows from being disturbed by the wind and snow; Tao Jingyuan, who had nothing to do, tugged at Yu Yi's sleeve and motioned for him to step forward to tuck the quilt for the young man - the young man's sleep has always been shallow, except for Yu Yi, the housekeeper who accompanies the young man all day, everyone else will be awakened as soon as they get close.

"Squeak-" The door was gently opened, and the five of them quietly left the hut one after another, gradually disappearing into the white expanse of heaven and earth.
