Chapter 10: The Falling Star

Xu Yuntian said hello to several old subordinates of the king of Nanzhou, and said a few words without pain, which can be regarded as a greeting, after all, according to age, except for Brother Yang Xin, the others are all uncles and uncles of the eldest prince of Xu, Xu Yuntian felt bored and didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, a hundred meters long dragon boats drove down from the upper reaches of the Qingjiang River, hovering at a position of fifty meters in front of the waterfall, and the starting point of the Chongyang Dragon Boat Race was here.

Xu Yuntian felt extremely boring, this kind of dragon boat race was fresh once, and he was tired of it after two or three times, not to mention the trick that he had seen for more than ten years.

After thinking for a while, Xu Dagongzi whistled and said, "Don't you feel a little tasteless when you look at this dragon boat race, why don't we add a colorful head?"

For a while, everyone applauded, Nanzhou was beaten down by this gang of people, in the end, except for one or two people who had too much sourness, the rest of the people let go and said that they were all very philistine guys.

The little gun king Yang Xin's eternal ice face also revealed a trace of curiosity, and he leaned over and asked, "What is the method of adding the color head that the prince said?"

"Simple, bet, bet on any dragon boat, and win and share the loser's chips. ”

After speaking, Xu Yuntian flipped his hand, took out a high-quality classic book "Wuwang Boxing" from the Wugang faction, threw it on the stone table casually, and said, "I'll bet on the youth of Nanyang City." ”

"I'm betting on Jianzhou!"

"I'm betting on Qingzhou!"

"I'm betting on Tiannan-gun"

The scorching sun is at the head, the hour is just right, a total of 90 boats engraved with hideous dragon heads in 81 cities of nine counties in Nanzhou broke the waves at the same time, went upstream, and the mist filled the air, looming like a hundred dragons grabbing pearls, so not spectacular.

The mist thickened a little thicker, and even the clothes were soaked.

Xu Yuntian glanced at An Guqing next to him, a goose-yellow wide-sleeved tassel was already wet, and there was no elegance at all, and he turned to the heroine of the rivers and lakes in a strong suit, showing her bumpy figure to the fullest.

Xu Gongye quipped: "Sister Gu Qing, if you wear a strong outfit of a chivalrous woman, you must look better than your usual wide-sleeved skirt." As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

The eldest lady An Gu looked at the hundreds of dragons on the river without squinting, and said word by word: "If you look at me again, I will take out your eyeballs." ”

Xu Gongzi snorted, no longer feeling uncomfortable with himself, turned to look at the old Taoist priest Su Xingzi, leaned over and said softly: "Isn't Daoist Su able to pinch and calculate, can you calculate for me which state and county can win the name of this 'leader' today?"

After speaking, he gestured to the pile of treasures that were placed on the stone table and threw them into the rivers and lakes, and said, "If it can be done, how about dividing three or seven into three? ”

The old Taoist priest was a little moved, and asked him: "How can I count it as a profit and I lose, if I count it myself, I don't need to share it with you equally, it's all old-fashioned." ”

Xu Yuntian said with a smile: "Old guy, don't want to eat alone, this is my territory." ”

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly everyone only felt that the sky was bright, and the light from nowhere was extremely dazzling, and they looked up to see that the curling water vapor above the Yanbo Pavilion and the clouds overhead had disappeared completely.

In the east, a dazzling ball of light flew from the southeast to the northwest, and then smashed into the mountains and forests dozens of miles away on the other side of the Qingjiang River under the horrified eyes of everyone.

The old Taoist priest Su Xingzi quickly took off the bamboo tube on his back, took out the 'Heavenly Machine Diagram' and spread it on the ground, and then took out a few white bones from nowhere, weighed them a few times and threw them on the Heavenly Machine Diagram.

In an instant, the bright white dots on the 'Heavenly Machine Map' wandered chaotically, and there was no mysterious trajectory before the half-point, Xu Yuntian couldn't understand it, so he didn't say much.

After about a stick of incense, the chaotic white dots on the 'Heavenly Machine Map' finally showed a slight orderly trajectory, Su Xingzi accepted the Heavenly Machine Map, showed a smile and arched his hand to Xu Yuntian and said: "Lao Dao suddenly remembered that there is still an eighty old mother at home to take care of, thank you for your hospitality these days, we will not cross the mountain and the road is far away!" After speaking, he used the water kung fu of 'dragon walking and flowing water' to step on the river!

Although I don't know what happened to the old Taoist priest's divination, but with his clumsy excuse "there is still an eighty old mother at home to take care of", and then went straight to the other side of the Qingjiang River where the ball of light fell, plus Xu Yuntian understood that this Taoist priest was an old shortage of goods, and his white hair looked at least ancient.

He immediately smiled and called: "Catch this Taoist priest, reward a pair of white jade lions, and the state and county where you are located will be exempted from tribute tax for two years." ”

As soon as the words fell, dozens of figures rushed out in unison, some made the 'dragonfly point of water' jump a few meters away, some threw out two or three wooden benches and ran up with their strength, and some crossed the river with their own brute force.

These people are all masters of various sects, but no matter how prosperous the sect is, it will bow its head in front of the temple after all, there are many staff members in the Nanzhou Palace, and there are thousands of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives to gain fame and fortune under the words of those who hold great power.

The exemption from tribute tax for two years is more worthy for them than the 'pair of white jade lions' given by the prince.

The old Taoist's kung fu doesn't seem to be outstanding, and his ability to take out his hands is not in addition to the deduction technique that his fart combat effectiveness does not have, but there are no less than ten people under the king of Nanzhou, and there are no less than ten people who are almost the same as the old Taoist.

No, it was only a moment of incense, and Su Xingzi Lao Dao was detained by more than a dozen big men in front of Xu Yuntian, and it was Wu Xiangming, the pastor of Linzhou Prefecture, who caught him, and the previous generation of Tianjiao figures sent by Xishu Sword.

Su Xingzi still stood in front of the eldest prince with an indifferent face, not feeling how embarrassed he was to flee just now, he stroked his beard and asked: "Your Royal Highness, what is the so-called matter of asking Lao Dao to come back so much? ”

Xu Yuntian was annoyed when he heard this, it seemed that this old Taoist priest would not be honest if he was not beaten, so he looked left and right to see if there was any guy who took advantage of it, and it happened that An Guqing was on the side, so he picked up the "full moon" and smashed it with his head and face.

"Son, what are you doing with the "full moon"?"

"Son, you are a figure with a head and a face.... Don't ......"

"Oops... Don't fight, Childe.."

After a very happy whipping, the old Taoist priest was finally honest, and squatted to the side with a face full of grievances, but Xu Yuntian felt refreshed.

"Tell me, what's there?"

The corners of Su Laodao's mouth were swollen and bleeding, and he said: "Son, you can say it, don't beat people, I'm over seventy years old, the old bones can't help you a few times, if you ......"

Seeing that Xu Yuntian had the intention of raising the scabbard in his hand again, he hurriedly changed his words.

Said: "That's a celestial star, one of the seventy-two stars from the crape myrtle bucket, why the old Tao can't calculate it carefully, but the big chance is true, at least it is a divine object." ”

Xu Yuntian was overjoyed and said, "Cross the river!"

.......

The location where the star fell was not very far, just on the bank of the Qingjiang River, smashed a hill dozens of zhang high into a depression and a large pit more than ten zhang deep, and the surrounding kilometers of trees were burned into charcoal.

"The power of heaven and earth is terrifying, I'm afraid that the legendary person who is about to break through the void can't make such a big move. The old Taoist priest said with amazement.

Xu Yuntian glanced at the old Taoist priest with some surprise, and said, "Can flesh and blood creatures have such great power that penetrates the heavens and the earth?"

"Yes!" the old Taoist priest said categorically: "The old Taoist traveled to the blazing sand desert in the hinterland of Yanzhou decades ago and saw a volcano, and there was a firebird in the fire, only the size of a palm, with six-colored feathers on the tail, and the wings instigated a scorching wave, and the scorching wave turned into magma wherever it went. ”

He also said: "Not to mention such strange things in heaven and earth, even the first sword cloud song in the world today has the power of a sword to break off the cliff, who knows if there is a strong person who has really cultivated to the legendary god realm - flying fairyland, after all, the world is so big, the South Continent of the Central Continent, the West Liangyan Prefecture and the North Hells are less than one-tenth of the size of the Shuzhou, not to mention that no one has ever explored the marginal "Canghai". ”

Lord Xu hummed noncommittally, but he didn't care much in his heart, if these martial arts practitioners, cultivators really have such a penetrating power, how could it be the turn of the Great Xia Dynasty to stand high on their heads, in Xu Yuntian's opinion, those myths and legends of the rising sun and shattering the void are just wonderful stories made up by people in the rivers and lakes.

Just as he was thinking of this, a team of spies who had been sent down to the pit had returned with no stars below, only a fist-sized golden stone.

It was carried by two people with great difficulty, and I was afraid that it would weigh no less than two or three hundred catties.

Xu Yuntian walked in front of the 'Tianxing', took a closer look, and saw that in addition to the golden color of the Tianxing, there seemed to be wisps of light spreading on it, and there was a trace of pain in the tip of the needle when he reached out to touch it, and then there was a faint popping sound, and a drop of blood suddenly fell on the stone, Xu Yuntian withdrew his hand, and found that his index finger was pierced by this sharp feeling A mouth half a finger wide.

Mei Xue, the serving maid on the side, hurriedly took out a white handkerchief and wanted to stop the bleeding for Xu Yuntian, but Xu Yuntian just shook his head to show that he was out of the way, and put his finger in his mouth a few times.

Said: "Take it and take it back to the palace." ”

At this time, the deacon housekeeper of the Nanzhou Royal Mansion came over and told Xu Yuntian that the 'leader' of the Chongyang Festival had been decided, and it was the young and strong team of Linzhou.

Xu Gongzi said loudly: "Reward! Linzhou officials' salaries will be increased by ten yuan per month, and the tribute tax will be exempted for five years." ”

He turned his head to Linzhou Mu Wu Xiangming and said: "After the Xishu Sword Sect, the mountain gate will be added to the range of thirty miles, and the tribute tax will be exempted for five years." ”

Linzhou Mu was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

At the end, he leaned his face closer to An Guqing, and said shyly: "Sister Guqing, the horse was so bumpy when I came, how about I ride with you on the way back?"

The full moon let out a soft roar, Xu Yuntian obediently closed his mouth, and heard An Guqing hum again with a voice that could just enter his ears.

I was overjoyed again.
