For Zhong Ming, Yu Bai is a female scoundrel.

Zhong Ming still helped her find a residence, so she lived in Zhong Ming's house, and laid out the new bedding sent by Yang Yanlang, and Zhong Ming was reluctant to cover the tiger and leopard embroidery with silk and satin, but cheapened the woman.

For a man, it is difficult to refuse the request of such a beautiful woman, even if it is a little unreasonable.

Unreasonableness is not always arrogant, in the eyes of many men, beautiful women are unreasonable and coquettish, and if they don't look good...... That's vexatiousness.

Zhong Ming is a normal man, even if he is a human in two lives, he will inevitably be a little cheesy, and he has the nature of a man who likes beautiful women in his bones.

The house was given to Yu Bai, and Zhong Ming could only sleep with Liang Yu.

But Liang Yu slept and grinded his teeth, farted and snored, and there was a lingering smell of stinky feet in the house, Zhong Ming slept until the early morning and got up before the rooster crowed.

Stretching, Zhong Ming walked out of the room.

The big rooster Iron General is still lying on his stomach in the nest, and before it has time to crow, this guy is very punctual and will not go to work sooner.

As soon as he washed his face, Zhong Ming heard a sound next door, Yu Bai had already gotten up, and she got up quite early.

After a while, there was another sound of sharp blades breaking through the air in the courtyard next door, Zhong Ming tiptoed, and looked from the side of the low wall to see that it was Yu Bai dancing with a sword.

Yu Bai's swordsmanship is a little strange, unusually gorgeous sword moves, the silver sword is almost out of her hand, and it can be clearly seen that Yu Bai's sword technique is very sophisticated, but he has made many mistakes, such as a beginner kendo.

This combination of contradictions made Zhong Ming very incomprehensible.

Zhong Ming has only been in contact with the knife technique for a few months, and he will not be like Yu Bai, who can still let the weapon go?

Looking at a complete set of swordsmanship, Zhong Ming felt more and more that Yu Bai's swordsmanship was strange.

Holding his breath to put away his sword, Yu Bai turned his head to look at the half of his head on the low wall, and snorted coldly: "Stealing the teacher?"

With an embarrassed laugh, Zhong Ming turned over from the low wall and said, "I use a knife, it's useless to steal a sword." ”

Yu Bai didn't pay any more attention to Zhong Ming, put the sword aside, and fetched water to wash his face.

Zhong Ming practiced calligraphy for a while and began to prepare breakfast again.

The soup rice was boiling and bubbling in the big pot on the stove, Zhong Ming stared at the soup rice in all kinds of boredom, cut some marinated beef and put it in, and then closed the lid and left the house.

happened to see Yu Bai reading Zhong Ming's words, and when she looked at Zhong Ming again, her eyes softened a lot: "You write well." ”

"It's okay, the main thing is that my mother taught her well. ”

Hurriedly stepped forward to put away the book, Zhong Ming didn't dare to let outsiders touch his treasure booklet.

Yu Bai muttered in a low voice: "Stingy." ”

The two of them sat at the stone table, both waiting for the porridge to be cooked.

Zhong Ming was actually still very curious about Yu Bai's origin, he took the initiative to chat and asked, "Miss Yu Bai, where are you from?"

"New Tang. ”

Yu Bai pulled out her silver sword and began to wipe it slowly.

Zhong Ming smiled awkwardly: "Out of the village and going to the city, it is the territory of the New Tang Dynasty, and the north to the extreme north of the sea is considered the territory of the New Tang Dynasty, Miss Yu Bai, you are too big here." ”

Yu Bai pursed his lips dissatisfied, and replied again: "Youlong Mountain Range in the northwest of the New Tang Dynasty. ”

As soon as he heard that it was the Youlong Mountain Range, Zhong Ming's eyes narrowed, and the most famous place there was the Sword Cliff, which was also the Upper Realm Immortal Palace with Bai Yujing and Penglai.

It's just that Sword Cliff is very low-key on weekdays, and I have never heard of any immortals in Sword Cliff going out to show up.

"Miss Yu Bai is the fairy of Sword Cliff?" Zhong Ming asked again.

This time, Yu Bai didn't answer, just glanced at Zhong Ming lightly, and the strength of wiping the blade in his hand was a little stronger.

She didn't want to answer, Zhong Ming also got the answer, this Yu Bai girl should be from Sword Cliff.

That made Zhong Ming very curious, an immortal, who does not soar through the clouds and mist, just like the immortals of Bai Yujing, flies with brilliance, but rides a white horse to wander around, is it possible that the people of Sword Cliff can't fly?

"Since Miss Yu Bai is a sword immortal, I'm afraid it's not as simple as doing chivalry and righteousness this time, right?"

Zhong Ming's question pointed directly at Yu Bai's heart every time, and she shook the silver sword impatiently, and the blade let out a soft groan.

Yu Bai swung his sword and slashed: "I came to the border to kill people, if you ask again, I will kill you first!"

Staring at the trembling blade, the bell rang silent.

He didn't know if what Yu Bai said was true, but he was sure that Miss Yu Bai had never killed anyone, and the sword moves of killing people were not as flashy as she had just practiced.

The porridge in the house was cooked, and the heat rattled the wooden lid.

The big rooster in the courtyard over there flew to the wall and began to crow, and Liang Yu also got up scolding.

So Zhong Ming and the three of them had breakfast, Yu Bai was silent, and he didn't know whether he couldn't wipe his face in his heart when he ate again, or what, he never spoke, and he was discharged from the hospital with a sword after eating.

Zhong Ming saw that Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice did not come to eat, and ran to their house to take a look.

The master and apprentice are alchemists who forget to sleep and eat, a stone spirit brings Zhang Daozhen a new alchemy idea, the old Taoist priest can't take care of eating, and his small Dan furnace has not stopped fire all night.

Zhong Ming grabbed the door frame and said: "Old Dao, my dantian is better, yesterday there was a master from the Southern Han Dynasty who cured my dantian." ”

"Oh, congratulations. ”

Zhang Daozhen crossed his knees in front of Xiao Danlu and didn't turn his head.

And the little Taoist priest Zhang Nianchen was sleeping on the bed, looking extremely tired, and it is estimated that the Danhuo last night was watched by the little Taoist priest overnight.

The master and apprentice worked in shifts to watch the Dan furnace, just to practice this furnace essence elixir.

Zhong Ming scratched his chin and continued: "Since my dantian is already good, you don't have to work so hard to alchemy, this pill can be practiced later." ”

"No, once the furnace is opened, this furnace fire can't be stopped, there is only one stone essence, if it is wasted, it will be difficult to meet again in a hundred years. ”

Zhang Daozhen was very stubborn, and Zhong Ming could also see it, it is estimated that only a small part of his alchemy was to heal Zhong Ming's dantian, in fact, he still wanted to refine this stone essence more thoughtfully.

Seeing that Zhang Laodao didn't have time to take care of himself, Zhong Ming didn't bother him with alchemy, and turned to leave.

......

The days seemed to be calm again, Zhong Ming began to practice knives, and Liang Yu also practiced.

Miss Yu Bai had no intention of leaving, since the day she took a walk around the village, asked Zhong Ming and Liang Yu about their personalities, she didn't mention anything about killing Liang Yu, that is, she ate and drank at Zhong Ming's house, and occupied Zhong Ming's house.

Compared with Liang Yu, this Yu Bai girl is more like a bully and a scoundrel.

She walked around the border with a sword all day long, and when Zhong Ming asked her what she was wandering around all day, she would say "Kill!" with a cold face!

People didn't kill anyway, these days Yu Bai just went out early in the morning and returned in the evening, with breakfast and dinner, and there was never a shortage of her.

Two days ago, Feng Ning would also bother Zhong Ming from time to time, as long as he found Zhong Ming, he pulled him to sit down, and began to discuss the song "Invincible in the World", he also took out the jade pipa and played it several times, but no matter how you listen to it, I feel that this song is not meaningful.

One day, Zhong Ming couldn't help it, so he said: "You not only have to play this song, but also sing it, the song only has a song without words, what kind of song is it." ”

At that time, Feng Ning's expression was very strange, and he asked: "What Mr. Zhong means is that he is willing to give me all this song to play and sing." ”

Zhong Ming nodded impatiently and said, "A tune, if you want to play and sing, you can play and sing, didn't you teach it all earlier?"

Since that day, Feng Ning has never come to Zhong Ming again, and in the courtyard where he lives, he can be heard playing and singing every day, day and night, disturbing the neighbors to come to Zhong Ming to complain.

Zhong Ming had no way to do it that day, so Lu Dashu ran to say that the outsider had been singing for half the night last night, and Lu Xiaoyu had also cried for half the night, so Zhong Ming hurriedly persuaded him not to sing anymore.

Sending Lu Dashu away, Zhong Ming sighed and said: "This Mr. Feng is really a music idiot, I have to inform him, if he continues to sing like this, the people of the entire Mud Village will be sung crazy by him." ”

In the early morning, the morning breeze was warm, and Zhong Ming walked to the front of Fei Dacheng's old courtyard.

When he came to the courtyard, Zhong Ming was surprised to find that Feng Mufei was leading a group of bear children to fool around, and the little ones who were running around in the village on weekdays and causing trouble everywhere gathered together to listen to Feng Mufei's words.

"Today, we are going to the temple in the west of the city to get rid of the demon, I heard that there was a thousand-year-old willow monster there some time ago, let's go and see if there is a willow demon!"

A group of bear children next to him, led by Li Wangye, the son of Carpenter Li, immediately replied loudly: "Obey the palace master's holy order!"

Feng Mufei looked around decently, took out two large handfuls of dried fruits from the bag in front of him, put them in Li Wangye's hand, and said: "Elder Li, you send them down, this is today's ration, if you can find the tree demon in the temple today, the palace master will be greatly rewarded!"

Li Wangye grinned and distributed the dried fruits to the group of bear children, and the group shouted: "Penglai Palace Master Shengming!"

It seems that Feng Mufei is very respected by this, and his little face is smiling.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Ming smiled dumbly, it turned out that Feng Mufei, the little guy, relied on snacks to buy and become the king of children.

When they say willow tree demon, they mean willow shade, right?

Anyway, there was nothing for them to see in the broken temple in the west of the city, it was just a matter of a group of children playing at home, and Zhong Ming didn't pay attention to it.

He took a step forward, touched the top of Feng Mufei's head and asked, "Feifei, where is your father?"

Feng Mufei only found out that Zhong Ming was coming at this time, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Zhong Ming, my father went to Sui Yun Mountain this morning, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

Zhong Ming smiled, this is good, Feng Ning went to the mountains, then no one disturbed the people, and the problem was naturally solved.

After finishing speaking, Feng Mufei said again: "Brother Zhong Ming, I won't tell you, I'm going to go to the temple to catch monsters, and I'll go back and catch monsters back for you." ”

A group of bear children, led by Feng Mufei, marched towards the west of the city.

Li Wangye, who fell behind the team, secretly stuffed Zhong Ming with two dried fruits when he left, and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong Ming, don't tell the palace master that I gave it, eat it secretly." ”

After saying that, the little guy ran two steps quickly, and ran to Feng Mufei's side to flatter his palace master.

Looking at the unknown dried fruit in his hand, Zhong Ming laughed dryly, peeled the dried fruit, and threw it into his mouth.

The dried fruit in his mouth was crunchy, Zhong Ming chewed the dried fruit and looked to the north, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what happened to Senior Liu's party in the rivers and lakes." ”

His eyes were deep, and after traveling thousands of miles, he seemed to see a scholar in a green robe Liu Chengyin drunk on horseback, and the old horse staggered on the official road, heading towards Luoyang City.

......

As the imperial capital of the New Tang Dynasty, Luoyang City is the most prosperous city in the entire New Tang Dynasty.

A literati once said: The New Tang Dynasty has 3,000 prosperous scenes, and Luoyang occupies its top.

Its meaning is exaggerated, but it also shows the prosperity of Luoyang City, not to mention the 29-storey high in the city, straight into the sky to ask the tower, not to mention the three cities, the palace forbidden land of the outer three cities, just the drunken village street of Luoyang City, is a wonder.

Zuixiang Street is the largest liquor shop street in Luoyang City, from south to north, all of which are liquor shops.

There is no shortage of literati and writers in Luoyang City, there is no shortage of famous nobles, and there is no shortage of drinkers, some people say that there are ten pedestrians and nine drunkards in Luoyang City, which is not an exaggeration at all.

According to the temperament of those scholars, since the current Xiangye Tian was assisting Emperor Tang Zhen in the war, he made the first after drinking, "I will come to the outside of the plug to press the side reserve, and take the drunken leftovers for the king." Drunk and noisy in the wine cup, suddenly remembering the old drunkards in Luoyang. Poetry.

The New Tang Dynasty was prosperous in drinking, and both literati and soldiers were inspired by drunkenness.

That's why there are places like Zuixiang Street, where there is an endless stream of drinkers before noon every day.

There are hundreds of liquor shops on Zuixiang Street, and this liquor shop called Border Drunk is just one of them.

There weren't many people sitting in it, but most of them were talking about one thing, and the most they said was the Martial Arts Star List.

"Have you heard, Guo Daxia has already traveled north to Bai Yujing, saying that he is going to fight with Fairy Echan and test the immortal method with his fists and feet. ”

"How can you not hear that it is said that Guo Dexing's predecessors are going to make a new list this time, and they want to rank all the immortals in the fairy palace on the list. ”

The previous person said: "I have also heard, so this year's martial arts star list will not come as promised, this has been decades, and it has never been too late to change the martial arts star list every ten years, this is the first time to delay the list." ”

I heard a drinker next to him say: "It's good, and give those martial arts knights time to compete for fame, I heard that the flying corpse king of the martial arts rookie defeated the old sword god Su Tingyou some time ago, and it is rumored that he will be the top three figures on the Tiangang list in the future."

He is coming to Luoyang City in the near future, and he wants to compete with General Qin for the first place in the world. ”

The previous man said disdainfully: "That's really immeasurable, my Tiance General Qin Invincible's name was beaten down with one punch, it is said that the cicada fairy was amazed when he saw General Qin's martial arts, how could a country man who didn't know where he came from beat General Qin." ”

"That's not easy to say, the old sword god Su Tingyou was defeated under him. ”

For a while, there were different opinions, and the drinkers were very happy to discuss it.

But I saw a scholar in a green robe in the corner, opened a jar of wine, poured a plate and tasted it for a while, and praised: "Good wine, it is really a green bamboo brew that only exists on my border!"

This green bamboo is not a good wine, it can only be regarded as a medium grade, but it is quite distinctive, only in the southern border of the New Tang Dynasty, because there is abundant bamboo there, and there is no bamboo as a container for making wine elsewhere.

Immediately, the scholar grabbed a handful of broken silver and sprinkled it on the table, lifted the wine jar, took the wine plate, stood up, poured wine into the wine dish as he walked, and drank all the wine in the plate.

In addition to being bold, he did not forget the elegance of the literati.

He walked to the middle of the wine shop and said to the guests, "Do you know why the Flying Corpse King wants to fight the old sword immortal Su Tingyou, and why does he want to fight the Heavenly Ce General Qin Xiong?"

Everyone shook their heads, and someone shouted, "You know, you tell me!"

"Because, they are all negative people, and the Flying Corpse King Liu Chengyin is just asking for an explanation for the sad woman in the world!"

The scholar's answer was so bizarre that someone immediately said he was talking nonsense.

"Your statement is too false, you must have made it up!"

The green-robed scholar smiled: "Even if I made it up, it's true!"

Everyone thought he was an idiot, shook their heads and said, "You scholar has been reading for a few days, and you are so rampant, how can your nonsense come true?"

After drinking another plate of wine, the green-robed scholar said indifferently: "Naturally, it's because I'm Liu Chengyin!"

There was a panic in the wine shop, Liu Chengyin dropped the wine plate, took a few sips in the wine jar, and then walked away.

Liu Chengyin's voice also came from outside the door: "Tomorrow at noon, at the head of the outer city of the palace, I, Liu Chengyin, want to make an appointment to fight Qin Xiong, if he doesn't arrive, I will drive the sea of corpses into the palace!"

The rampant declaration of war was very loud, suppressing the noisy sound and spreading throughout the drunken village streets.
