Volume 1 Partridge Day Chapter 13 The Silver Fish That Flew Around
That night, Li Minghui slept very sweetly. So much so that when I went back to the room, I didn't know it at all.
This is extremely rare in the years after coming to Zicheng.
Especially after two killings that came and went quickly.
Unbeknownst to the customer, his first deliberate temptation and the second unintentional mood of the teenager were quietly noticed by the teenager, who was extremely sensitive in mind and senses, and dealt with the past quietly.
One was playing with chopsticks at dinner a few days ago, and the other was tonight when I was surprised to find that the boy could capture the trajectory of a flying sword at normal speed.
Cultivation is endless, but it is also short-lived. Customers can see the young man's eager heart of catechumen, maybe they will meet suddenly on the mountain in a few years, but this time the explanation of the fairy family affairs does not accept apprentices, which is tantamount to taking fish in front of a person who loves fish and meat like life, and giving fish but not fishing. I didn't worry about it before, because the customer was sure that even if the teenager stepped on the road of cultivation, his grades were mediocre, and if he met, then this "grant" was a "enlightenment" grace. But once the boy has another adventure that he can't see, and even goes further beyond the customer, he will meet again on the mountain at that time, and only remember "not to fish". If there is no kindness, it will become an enemy.
Whether it is fighting rice or litering rice, in a thought, people's hearts are so interesting.
Fortunately, the young man did not hide the truth after the electric decision. In fact, if the young man chose to hide his thoughts at that time, there would be no words and smiles, and there would be no parting to secretly leave a back hand, and the handleless flying sword would immediately penetrate the young man's head.
The customer is right, the two have different and similar hearts.
For the teenager, although it is only a glimpse of the world on the mountain, it is no longer a tactful gift from the elders after all, but a real unveiling of the veil that he can't touch no matter how hard he tries. And I also asked a few questions that I always wanted to know.
It doesn't matter if the customer notices something. The teenager's instinct was that he was willing to take some risks against the person in front of him who had murderous intentions against him. Because of the trajectory of the heart lake captured in his eyes, this young man's murderous intent is not to do evil, but to protect himself and avoid trouble. It is the common indifference and indifference of the gods on the mountain.
Every word and smile is like a big test of cultivating the mind.
The satisfaction after exhaustion is to fall asleep, and the obsession that has wanted to practice for many years seems to have broken a ray of light, not only the starting point is relatively clear, but even the end point of the obsession is no longer slim. There were no clear dreams in the nap, only the relaxation after four or five years of nervous relaxation.
So when the boy opened his eyes violently on the floor in the house in the middle of the night, his body tensed and his back was soaked with sweat.
The boy had been carried back to the house by the customer, and he was spread out the bedding roll, and the young man himself was lying on the only bed in the courtyard as usual. For a long time, the young man quietly craned his neck, and the moonlight passed through the latticework and dirty window crystals, casting a bright and dirty white on the wall and on the young man's back shirt. Looking at the figure of the young man who looked more and more bright in a daze, I have to admit that this mountain fairy even looks so good on his back lying on his side.
The young man tilted his head, saw that the door had been closed, and exhaled and touched the Pu Ye fan to lie down.
Outdoor summer insect Qu Qu.
In the darkness, the young man's eyes were blazing.
In the days that followed, Li Minghui ran more diligently to the side of the small courtyard, and the excuse on the side of the inn became that the roof stove at home was damaged by the rain, and he had to take advantage of a few days off work to return home to repair the house.
The customer did not break his promise, and tried his best to answer Li Minghui's questions. For example, the boy finally knew that in addition to his own Guizhan Continent and the distant Hongzhu Continent, which he had only heard of from the inn travelers, there were a total of seven continents such as Candle and Danzhu, and the human race only occupied four of them. The other three continents, one is a barren and barren continent that has been left for thousands of demons to live, a new Nanrao continent that has just been discovered and the demons are in dispute, and a small cold continent north of Zhangwei Mountain in the Beihai Sea, where the environment is so bad that the demons can't live in.
And even in the four continents, which are claimed to be occupied by the human race, between the mountains and rivers between the city and the city, there are still many monsters hidden and retained, which are inexhaustible and endless. It's just that the two continents of Guizhan and Hongyu are the places where the human race made their fortune, and the history of human demon contact has been too long, and many unwritten tacit rules have been formed.
The battle between shemales has lasted for 10,000 years. And further up, it also involves a secret that all families and dynasties are unwilling to talk about.
Is Linzi City big? There are big demons in the mountains hundreds of miles outside the city, and it is only a county town in the Great Lu Kingdom. Was the Great Lu State big? The "Great Lu," which used to be more than 10 times the size of what it is now, is now only one of several tributary vassal states of the Xijing Dynasty. Was the Xijing Dynasty, which was located in the eastern part of Guizhan Continent but named its capital "Wangxi," big? It was just one dynasty of the three dynasties and sixteen kingdoms in the eastern part of Guizhan Zhou.
This continent is so vast that it is impossible for the human race, a large race, to fully control it. It is big enough for thousands of living beings to live, reproduce, form a race, and build a nation. There have been Confucian sages who are good at deduction, even if this world is a little smaller, even if it is only twice as small, with the development momentum of the human race, it is long enough to stand in the position of the leader of all souls. At that time, even if the immortal law is not universal, or even the worst situation is completely extinguished, with the power of the mortal world under the mountain alone, the Great Dao of the Human Race can still be expected.
Li Mingwei's eyes sparkled, and all of this was not just telling him what the world of cultivation on the mountain was like, but as if in front of a person who had had an eye disease since childhood, he had removed a layer of dim and dark obstacles and seen a new view of the world.
The clouds are so close.
The clouds are far away.
It turns out that Linzi is so small. It turns out that I am so small.
The killer customer also took the siege of the inn that night as an example, and told the young man in detail about the context and genre of the cultivator. For example, it seemed that there were a lot of people that night, but in fact, there were only a few people who really needed their attention. Gong E, a sword basket maid, a blind Confucian who controls the jade chapter, and a girl who controls the jade plate of the formation. In addition, there are two flower women who are about to become curtain people but are still beaded for the time being, and bearded old men who lead thunder and resist fire.
In the meantime, in fact, the young blind Confucian students and flower women are the most orthodox. One is a Confucian protΓ©gΓ© who is a serious child, in this Guizhan Continent where Confucianism occupies a continent after the Confucianism and Taoism compete, and the Confucian children have a little more combat power out of thin air. The woman who the flowers is actually from a peasant family among the hundred families, and she also knows a few magic tricks, true and false, in the eyes of people who don't know how to do it, especially in the siege and killing bureau, it is also a big trouble.
Fortunately, Yuntou is scattered and cultivated, and he never judges heroes by whether he is orthodox or not. The more you insist on keeping what you have learned, you may have died a long time ago.
In the words of the customer, it is "all out of the mixed cultivation circle, what kind of high pretend?"
"Just like me, in fact, I am also a Confucian protΓ©gΓ© who can no longer be upright, tracing back up, but I can find Liang Quanyu, one of the seventy-two disciples of the Great Sage. Did I say that?"
Li Minghui's eyes were full of great surprise.
Gong E, the sword-wielding maid who was recognized by the sword basket, and the female formation master who controlled the "silk thread" formation, had extremely high requirements for talent, and it was easy to get started, but it was extremely difficult to enter the country. Gong E's master, Meng Xiaodong, is an old gangster who has accumulated his current qualifications through fear of death and careful eye. But on the mountain, there are the most such people and they live the best.
As for the bearded old man who looks the most bluffing, he is the most typical Jianghu loose cultivator. There may not be a serious master-apprentice inheritance, and the fire control technique used belongs to the ancient method of calling the gods, and the Taoist method of deducting the palace is used to guide the thunder, which does not match the mantra of the time at all. It is very likely that the exercises he or his teacher received at the beginning were incomplete, stumbling and piecing together along the way to what they are now. It seems that the combat power is extremely high, but in fact, it is boiling the body's qi and blood, digging up the fire, and self-cutting immortality.
The boy asked, "Does he know?"
"Yes. β
The boy asked again, "Would he like it?"
"What if you don't want to. The reason why those ninth-rate 'immortal masters' that ordinary people under the mountain usually come into contact with are usually lame and physically disabled is because they can't correct the Fa. It is not easy to open the door. β
Speaking of this, the customer glanced at the young man meaningfully, "It's like I just left you a piece of exercise today, and I will simply lead you to the beginning." If you encounter a hurdle in the future, it will be risky. But at that time, you have already stepped into the door with one foot and tasted the sweetness, can you really stop in time and stop practicing? Even if you want to stop, after practicing, there will be cause and effect after practicing, and some things will push you forward. At that time, my Great Dao gift, not to mention the influence on my qi number in the dark, was it just for you, was it a blessing or a curse?"
The boy bowed his head and remained silent.
"The so-called string of beads is more like a collection of loose practices. There are special teachers and trainees looking for good talents and beautiful jade from the bottom of the mountain, and after years of indoctrination, teaching and assessment, they will tell these children the truth, and after going through the big exam, they are the lowest beads of the curtain people. The beads have to go through many times of receiving and assessing and accumulate heads, so that they can be called roller shutter people. β
"I'm the best fourth-generation gold medal roller shutter. The customer said with his legs dangling.
Li Ming-wai asked: "That night, I seemed to hear that girl say that there is a very powerful person, and he is even more likable." What is it called?"
There was silence for a long time.
The customer said, "Are you going to talk?" and the young man turned back to the house, "I won't talk about it tonight." β
The young man smiled and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
In the last few days, customers have made lists, and Li Ming-ai has been rushing to buy ingredients, and then customers are cooking. For the first time, Li Minghui knew that it was also a home-cooked meal that could make such a good taste. Every time I eat in the courtyard, I eat in my mouth and ears.
The young man in white, who had already returned to the house, flashed out again, and the patient professor who hated iron could not become steel: "I said that I am the best shutter man, you should have praised me just now." You have a straight brain, in case you deal with people in the future, you have to miss how many elders and beauties. β
The young man straightened up and said, "I know." But ......"
The young man slammed the door shut.
On the way home the next day, Li Ming-ai walked home with the newly purchased ingredients. On the street, I saw Ah Qing trotting behind the carriage of Fushui Building.
Ah Qing also saw Li Mingai, didn't have time to speak, waved through the crowd, and then made a thumbs pointing at his chest and patting his head.
Then hurried past.
That gesture is a code for two people, which means "I, Chen Qingzhi, will always cover you." β
Li Mingwei stood there for a long time, especially wanting to tell him what had happened in the past few days. It's like when I was a child, after the catastrophe, two children sat under a wet dirt slope, unkempt.
The child, who was not much older, listened to the cry from the other side and handed the dry food in his arms into his arms. compared himself, then patted his head, and then said, "I, Chen Qingzhi, will always cover you." β
The boy who was still a child nodded seriously, there was a lake in his eyes, and the person on the other side did not lie.
When he returned to the small courtyard in the west of the city, the boy deliberately stopped from outside the courtyard as usual, and jumped high to feel the magic of the spell in his heart.
It's just a wall, and what you see and hear is completely two things. No matter where the young man in white was in the courtyard after pushing the door in, it looked empty from the low courtyard wall.
Li Minghui entered the courtyard and closed the courtyard door. Shouting, "The food is here." β
The empty courtyard seems to have been cleaned.
"Mr. Gu?"
The boy pushes open the door, and Sunset slashes inside, but there is no one.
"Mr. Gu. β
After confirming that he was the only one in the courtyard, the boy put the vegetable basket in his hand on the ground.
Turning around and squatting on the threshold, he felt remorseful and tearful.
------
Fushuilou has been in contact with the Mo family surnamed Sun for some days.
Fu Ruzong headquarters incense burning incense message, the Mo family's surname is Bai, the elder has made it clear that he does plan to return to Pengcheng's ancestral home to return to the old age, and has already submitted his resignation to the Mo family's ancestral hall. No matter how detailed the news is, it is limited to the identity of an outsider, and it is no longer possible to inquire about it.
So for many days in a row, the shopkeeper Chu who only took the guests surnamed Sun to the mountains and rivers seriously, and he could talk about things seriously.
The shopkeeper Chu has a good sense of proportion, neither can he rush too tightly, but he does not make people feel left out, just like entertaining friends. Doing business is like cooking porridge, you can't do it fast, you can't break it. The guest surnamed Sun is not in a hurry, the shopkeeper Chu took him to see Linzi Fengyue, then he only talked about Fengyue, and every time he asked questions and cut the classics, it was just right. As Shopkeeper Chu and Mr. Xu Sikui said before, this Mr. Sun, aside from the relationship that must be guarded against before the business is successful, is only a person, and it is good to be a friend.
After several exchanges, Shopkeeper Chu would already bring Aqing with him when he went out. Previously, when it came to money, Ah Qing had never been able to interfere even as a big guy in the store. Now the shopkeeper Chu also looks at him differently, and slowly lets him participate in the affairs of the mountain as a mortal.
After the guest with a slight limp in his right leg praised Ah Qing for a sentence of "young milk tiger", he did not show much traces after that, and there were a few words of praise, but not much.
Fu Ruzong Waimen Song Ren and Song Worship still follow the crowd every time, leaning around, thin and small, very inconspicuous.
Until today, the shopkeeper Chu and Mr. Sun have enjoyed the inscription of Huashan outside the city, and when they rested in the water pavilion by the lake in the middle of the mountainside, they mentioned the silver deposit for the first time in a few days. Mr. Sun also suddenly remembered that there was still a serious matter, and said that today happened to be the last and largest batch of flying boats to the ferry, and everyone was relieved to take a look together.
Several carriages of the shopkeeper Chu drove to the stop toad ferry dozens of miles east of the city. The name is Ferry, but it is actually in the middle of the mountains, and it covers dozens of hills, which can be described as huge.
In addition to maintaining the dispatch of flying boats to take off and land, and the ground freight vehicles to enter and exit, it is also necessary to ensure the safety of the fleet docked here for a short or long time. Mental strength and manpower are innumerable, and the large sects that are not large in scale and combat power are unsustainable.
The first few batches of flying boats of the Mo family obeyed the dispatch and stopped on a hill on the edge of the toad crossing, and just by docking these days, they had to hand over a lot of fairy money. Shopkeeper Chu deliberately spent so long, and he didn't mean to test the other party's strength through such a trivial matter.
Before the carriage entered the ferry, Mr. Sun let the vehicle stop outside the formation.
The group stood at the top of the hill and watched the flying boats come and go in the distance. Mr. Sun pointed to a big cloud in the sky and said, "Here it is." β
Ah Qing raised his eyes, and after a while, a black dot broke out of the clouds, it was the tip of a flying boat, which grew bigger little by little, and then the huge emblem of the Mo family suddenly revealed the giant sail, and it took a while to reveal the full picture of a longship. The jet-black hull is extremely long and narrow from a distance, with intricate silver metal ornamentation on it.
One after another, and one after another. The leader of the ship apparently discovered that the surname Sun was walking, and blew the horn of an unknown animal, which resounded through the sky.
Sweeping over the remnant clouds, causing strong winds on the ground to pass through.
The surname Sun walked with a cane, showing a rare flamboyant posture for many days, and said: "Our Mo family has no shortage of boats. β
Ah Qing stood in the wind and looked up at the huge flying boats that rowed in the sky, like looking up at a group of huge silver-scaled fish above his head from the bottom of the water.
Mr. Sun returned to his usual humble and peaceful appearance, and asked, "Let's talk about the deed next?" and then stretched out his head to Song Offering at the back of the crowd: "You said yes, right?"
Song Xianfeng's rickety body stretched out, and he laughed dryly. He also walked out of the servant pile generously. "Mr. Sun, this is boring, isn't it?"
------
Linzi City is more than 100 miles south of Taozhu and Shenmu.
He had searched the city many times for a string of beads without success, and he could not go through the mountains between the two cities. A fat woman with a basket in the lead spoke, and the top was getting more and more impatient, and she couldn't find anyone, so she didn't want to go back.
Under a large tree, a young man slowly walked out of the shade.
The young man looked up at the slowly swimming sword light in the sky, just like looking up at the groups of silver fish flying overhead from the bottom of the water.
The young man laughed so happily.
He said, "Oh, it's my turn." β
(5500 words, long wait, hey, hey, hey, hey)
