Chapter 57 In the Northern Desert City
Not to mention, the aging of this Northern Desert City is really a fucking good thing, although Mo Wentian has the talent of not getting drunk in a thousand cups, but after drinking two large jars of wine in succession, it is still a little top, and the whole person is a little fluttery.
Mo Wentian burped and shouted loudly: "Little Er, check out!"
After paying some broken silver, he bought a small jar of wine and went out of the wine shop on his own.
Approaching the end of the year, the entire Beimo City began to become crowded, with crowds of people bustling and traders coming and going.
The North Desert City is the most prosperous and lively city in the area of the Python River Basin, and when it comes to the end of the year, it reflects its fireworks peak.
Whether it is a rich family or a poor child, at the end of the year, no matter how you say it, you will add some firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck and fish to your own house. Moreover, not far from the North Desert City is the largest river of the Jiuyou Dynasty, the Python River, which can be said to be the most vivid embodiment of the principle of "relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water".
The fish here is much cheaper than in other places, and the fish itself is so delicious that most of it has been freshly caught by local fishermen.
And because the water aura of the Python River here is rich, it has a great impact on those fish meat, fat but not greasy, loose and slippery, it can be said that in the entire Jiuyou Dynasty, the reason why this place is famous, most of the reason is that the fat fish here.
Even the nobles of the royal palace spend a lot of manpower and material resources to obtain fish and meat here during the peak fishing season of the year.
And those cultivators in the martial arts also knew that when they arrived in the Northern Desert City, there were three good things that they had to try in person.
The first is the aging of the Northern Desert, the taste is mellow and endless; the second is the unique spirit fish in the Python River Basin, the meat is fat and delicious, which makes people have an endless aftertaste; the third is the Qinglou woman here, with a graceful figure and a look that has nothing to say.
However, Mo Wentian drank too much wine just now, and there was no place for other things in his stomach for a long time, so if he wanted to taste the spirit fish here, he could only wait for the contents of his stomach to be digested.
As for the Qinglou woman, Mo Wentian didn't even think about it. Although the fireworks in the Northern Desert City were at their peak, those Qinglou women were so enchanting that many cultivators lingered, tossing and turning day and night. But Mo Wentian didn't have much interest, of course, this is not to say that he is not a normal man.
Mo Wentian is not only a normal man, he is also more upright and longer than those normal men......
Martial arts cultivation is a long, bumpy and arduous road, one wrong step and one wrong step, if you forget your original intention and let yourself fall into those red dust places and can't extricate yourself, then for the cultivator himself, there is absolutely only harm and no good.
Walking in the bustling crowd, Mo Wentian still carried the wine jar, took a sip from time to time, and took a deep breath with his mouth.
What is this called? Is this what the fuck is life?
Although cultivation focuses on diligent practice, and he has been immersed in martial arts for decades, but in Mo Wentian's view, cultivation is life, and if he immerses himself in hard training all day long and puts all his energy into martial arts cultivation, then it will be half the effort and will not achieve the results he really wants.
One relaxation is the true meaning of the avenue, and this kind of relaxation is not a kind of cultivation?
......
Runan City, located in the north of the Northern Desert City, is not the most prosperous and lively city in the Nine Shades Dynasty, but there is a very strong force here, that is, the Gusu family.
Although the Gusu family is one of the three families and five surnames, its power is intertwined, and it is almost distributed in the entire rivers and lakes. But the Gusu family has another identity, that is, businessmen.
Although driven by the current atmosphere of Zi Chongwu, the vast majority of people in the entire Nine Shadows Dynasty began to practice martial arts, and the status of merchants also began to decline.
But who is the Gusu family? That is the strength of the martial arts can rank among the top few forces, the Gusu family, which has been in business for generations, is really terrifying in that its economic strength is very strong, even if you look at the entire dynasty, there are very few families that can be equal to them.
Even if it is a family in the inner three gates, it is only relatively strong, and in terms of economy, it is definitely not as good as the Gusu family.
The entire Runan City is not very large, but the Gusu family directly occupies half of the entire city, and the blatant generations have lived here. But that's it, few martial arts people and palace nobles dare to trouble them, even today, they turn a blind eye, as long as the Gusu family doesn't commit any major things, the one in the imperial capital will definitely not make himself unhappy.
In the courtyard of the Gusu family, a young man with a gloomy face was sitting by the lake, holding a delicate beauty in his arms.
Next to him, a man in black stood, who was saluting the young man with a respectful face.
The young man is the eldest son of the Gusu family, Gusu Wuji.
I saw Gu Su Wuji slap his hands on the ass of the beauty in his arms, and said casually: "So, your Jiang family is planning to join forces with me?"
The man in black said respectfully: "The head of the family sent his subordinates to come to an agreement with the eldest prince, if the eldest prince agrees, then our Jiang family will use the strength of the whole clan to help the eldest prince win the position of the head of the family." ”
Gusu Wuji smiled predictively, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that this matter will disappoint your family master, even if I want to win the position of the head of the Gusu family without your help, then I will easily take it, just like digging into a bag." ”
The man in black standing next to Gusu Wuji suddenly smiled: "What is the truth, I think you must know in your heart, eldest prince, although it seems that your father is very important to you on the surface, and even handed over most of the family's account books to you." But what is actually going on, you must know better than we do, right?"
"My subordinates remember that you also have a second brother named Gusu Changfeng, although some time ago he was kicked out of the house by your father because of some things, let him travel in the rivers and lakes, and suffer a little, which can be regarded as a small punishment for him. But you must know which son is the most important in your father's eyes, so I don't need to say more, right?"
After a slight pause, the man in black continued: "Besides, even in the entire Gusu family, there are not many people who support you as the head of the family, right?
Gu Su Wuji's face suddenly sank, and he threw the beauty in his arms to the ground at once, his fists were clenched tightly, and his nails had even cut his palms.
Gusu Changfeng! It's that Gusu Changfeng again! How can my Gusu Wuji not be able to compare to him? Not only Gusu Xiao, but even the elders of the Gusu family also support Gusu Changfeng, how can this not make Gusu Wuji resentful?
He is the eldest son of the Gusu family, and the rules passed down from his ancestors are also the eldest son inheriting his father's business, but in his generation, Gusu Wuji clearly feels that his father Gusu Xiao is likely to destroy this unwritten rule and make Gusu Changfeng the next head of the family.
In fact, after the man in black told him the purpose of this trip, Gusu Wuji had already agreed in his heart, but as the glory of the eldest son of the Gusu family, how could he let others look down on him?
Gusu Wuji rubbed his head and said lightly: "Then I don't know what your Jiang family wants from me? ”
The man in black said lightly: "It's not a secret, the head of the family also told his subordinates, saying that if you ask this question, then let your subordinates tell you the truth." ”
"I don't know, eldest prince, do you know that our Jiang family has a rebel named Jiang Feng?" asked the man in black slowly.
Gu Su Wuji shook his head, he really didn't know who Jiang Feng was.
"That Jiang Feng was originally the nephew of our family master, but he disregarded his dignity and unruliness, and provoked the dignity of my entire Jiang family, and the head of the family was forced to kill his relatives in a righteous way, so he sent his subordinates to search for Jiang Feng's whereabouts. ”
Hehe, righteous annihilation? I'm afraid it's your family master Jiang Lie, that old thing dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, right? I'm afraid that Jiang Feng's return will affect his status. Gusu Wuji said secretly in his heart.
The man in black glanced at Gu Su Wuji, and then said, "Last time, the head of the family sent his right-hand man to hunt down and kill the rebel Jiang Feng, but in the end, who do you guess Jiang Feng is with?"
The man in black stared straight at Gu Su Wuji, and Gu Su Wuji shook his head.
"It's your second brother, Gusu Changfeng!"
Gusu Wuji's figure was stunned.
"That Gu Su Changfeng and Jiang Feng didn't know when they met, in short, the two of them are now like brothers. And the subordinate sent by our lord was also killed by two people. If the second son is allowed to take the position of the head of the Gusu family, then our Jiang family will definitely not have any good fruits to eat, so the head of the family asked me to come to see you quickly. ”
Gu Su Wuji frowned, listening to the meaning of this man in black, he could barely understand most of it. The feeling is that the Jiang family provoked Gusu Changfeng, and they were afraid that Gusu Changfeng would be the next head of the family and attack them, so there was this scene of joining forces with themselves.
According to what this person said, then there is a good chance that this is true. A murderous intent flashed in Gu Su Wuji's eyes.
That Gusu Changfeng is a big stone in his heart, no matter what he does, those old guys in the family are cold to him, and they ignore his existence at all.
In Gusu Wuji's view, his existence may just be to set off Gusu Changfeng's outstanding talent, right?
Thinking of this, Gusu Wuji made up his mind. Hehe, now that you have the support of the Jiang family, I see how you still fight with me!
"I'm going to see your family master in person!" Gu Su Wuji's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he said lightly.
......
Mo Wentian walked alone on the streets of Beimocheng, and when he was tired, he sat on the ground and drank a few sips of wine.
In the past few days, Mo Wentian has been going back and forth in the Northern Desert City, damn, he has been trapped on Taixuan Mountain for more than half a year, this time he finally went down the mountain, I must have a good time.
In the entire Northern Desert City, in just a few days, a small half of Mo Wentian has been turned around. Whether it's an inn, a pawnshop, a weapon shop, a medicine shop or something else, as long as there are people, Mo Wentian has to go in and take a stroll. Although I don't want to buy anything, it's still good to have a good time.
Of course, except for those large and small green buildings that made him daunted, Mo Wentian was not afraid of other places. It's just that somehow, whenever he passed by the Qinglou, when the bustards and girls outside the door pulled him, this guy was panicked like a frightened little white rabbit.
Ahem, it's a man who stands up to the sky, damn it, he didn't die under the knife in the hands of the enemy, but was scared to death by these smoky willow women, that's really depressing.
Therefore, whenever he passed by those green buildings, Mo Wentian would close his eyes and hurriedly walk by. He didn't want to stay there any longer, not even in the blink of an eye!
The night came as scheduled, and the entire Beimo City was at the end of the year, so the night at this time seemed more prosperous. The streets were hung with lanterns, and the entire Northern Desert City was melted away by this bustling atmosphere.
Whether it is a rich family or a poor child, almost all of them come to the streets of the city after dinner, watch the juggling, guess the lantern riddles, and be chic and happy.
Mo Wentian sat on the roof of the building, holding a jar of Northern Desert Aged Wine in his hand, and his eyes stared weakly at the people on the street below.
He saw a little boy dressed in tatters, but he was sitting in his father's arms with a small drum in his hand, and his face was smiling with happiness.
He saw a man holding a little girl, looking at it as he walked, and the adults and children all had happy expressions on their faces, smiling from ear to ear.
Mo Wentian was envious.
At this time, he thought that he was the little boy in the man's arms, whether he was rich or poor, how happy he was to be with his father.
If he could choose, Mo Wentian would definitely not want to live the life he is doing now, living in hatred all day long. Although he looks like a dog on the surface, he doesn't know how many tears he has shed and how much sadness he has tasted behind his back.
Since the death of his father Mo Liancheng, Mo Wentian has never been truly happy, and the emotion buried in his heart has long been filled with that monstrous hatred.
Although he sometimes has to be very happy in front of Li Zhengchun, Taixuan Zhenren, Bai Yi, and the white-haired old man, Mo Wentian knows that it is just that he doesn't want others to worry about him.
Mo Wentian raised his head and looked at the sky deeply, and poured a large sip of the aged wine in his hand into his mouth.
When the liquor entered his throat, there was a burning stinging sensation, but Mo Wentian seemed to enjoy this state very much. Hazy, as if awake but not drunk, the whole person seems to have fallen into an ethereal realm, without joy, anger and sorrow, and without the hatred in his heart......
In this way, Mo Wentian lay on the roof of the building and fell asleep deeply.
On the street at your feet, people laughed from time to time, and the children of poor families were the happiest, because they were easily satisfied and did not have too many worries.
Mo Wentian seemed to have had a long, long dream, in which he returned to Lijian Villa more than ten years ago, his father and Uncle Mo loved him very much, and let him do everything.
Mo Wentian clearly remembered that in the dream, he actually rode on his father's neck and sprinkled a soak of pee......
In the morning, Mo Wentian didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning, and at this time he was still lying on the top of a building, and the street below was already crowded with people.
Mo Wentian sat up straight and cultivated on the top of this building.
may be due to drinking too much alcohol last night, Mo Wentian's whole head at this time is dizzy. However, as streams of true qi flowed rapidly in his body, Mo Wentian suddenly felt refreshed, and his whole spirit was suddenly lifted and full of vitality.
After half a ring, the true qi ran one big Zhou Tian and three small Zhou Tian, Mo Wentian stood up, patted the dust on his body, and jumped back to the ground.
found an inn, Mo Wentian walked straight in.
"Xiao Er, good wine and good food are greeting!" Mo Wentian shouted to Xiao Er at the inn.
The little two answered, and got up and went busily. Mo Wentian found a secluded place by the window and sat down, and put the sword on his back on the table.
It didn't take long for the little second to come over with several plates of dishes and a jar of wine, and looked at Mo Wentian with a hippie smile.
"Guest, this is your wine and food, please use it slowly. ”
Mo Wentian nodded and motioned for Xiao Er to step back. Then he picked up the wine jar on the table, opened it and drank it.
After a few big sips of wine, Mo Wentian suddenly shouted "Happy!" refreshedly, picked up the wooden chopsticks on the table and ate the food.
At this moment, two more people walked in from outside the inn. I saw that one of them was dressed in white and behaved decently, just like the son of a family. The other person was dressed in a long robe, with a long sword on his back, and his body exuded a fierce qi.
Mo Wentian's brows suddenly furrowed, those two were Gusu Changfeng and Jiang Feng!
However, when did the two of them get together? Mo Wentian's heart was full of doubts.
And at this moment, Gusu Changfeng just caught a glimpse of Mo Wentian and walked straight towards Mo Wentian.
"Oh, Brother Mo, why are you here?" Gusu Changfeng said with a look of surprise.
Mo Wen didn't raise his head in the sky, and said lightly: "What's the matter, why can't I come here, sir?"
At this time, Jiang Feng also saw Mo Wentian, his figure paused for a moment, and then he walked over slowly.
