Introduction Chapter 5 Hometown People
The two of them walked around for a day, and when they were tired, they entered the largest restaurant in town and were ready to enjoy a meal.
When the good wine and food were served, Dong Xiaoping began to eat happily.
"Hey, why don't you eat it? The food thieves here are delicious, you see that there is also our hometown dish of Chen Guo, wine vinegar carp, hehe, there is no restaurant in Dachangguo, but I didn't expect that Wanguo is so far away. ”
Qin Chuyu held his cheeks and said slowly: "Yes, I have loved eating this dish since I was a child, especially my mother's cooking." ”
Dong Xiaoping stopped his chopsticks and said, "Are you homesick?"
"One thing, you know, I haven't traveled this far for as long as I can remember, not even the county town. Now when I think that we are more than 6,000 miles away from home, I always feel empty in my heart. Do you feel that way?"
"Of course there is, and there are always been. Dong Xiaoping then added in his heart: But my hometown is another place.
"But we should be proud, isn't it also our ability to go so far?" Dong Xiaoping continued to comfort.
"It's not my credit, most of the routes, horses, and hotels are handled by you, and I still know this. ”
"Everywhere, it is under the wise leadership of my young master. ”
"Sycophant!" Qin Chuyu scolded with a smile, then looked at Dong Xiaoping very seriously and said, "Ah Fu, I have been locked at home for many years, and I don't know a lot about outside, and I often do bad things. I have seen the hardships and dangers of this road, and if it weren't for your help me, I would definitely not be able to get here...... I really appreciate you".
For this kind of talk, Dong Xiaoping didn't know how to answer it at all, he felt a little disrespectful when he said witty words, and he felt very embarrassed when he said serious things.
"Xiao Er, bring me another jar of wine!"
This sentence is a standard Chen Guohua, and his voice is very gloomy and a little drunk.
The person who spoke was a fair-skinned brocade-clad young man who looked like he was drunk, and he held an empty wine bowl in his hand and waved it in the air.
Because the movement was relatively large, Xiao Er on the side immediately walked over, but this was Wanguo, and he couldn't understand Chen Guo's dialect, so he looked at the young man who was talking with a blank face.
Fortunately, there was a young man who looked like a companion next to this young man, and I saw him quickly say to Xiao Er in Dachang dialect, "Don't drink, he's drunk, and he can't drink anymore." ”
Because Dachang dialect is easier to understand and easier to learn, most of the people who go south and north can speak Dachang dialect, and even if people in Wanguo don't know how to speak, most of them can understand.
So Xiao Er nodded and went to work by himself.
"Second uncle, don't drink, you see you're almost drunk, and you've spoken the wrong language. The young man persuaded the white young man.
"Am I drunk? Hehe, it's good to be drunk, I can't sleep if I'm not drunk." The white boy laughed, as if he was very happy, but anyone who had a little heart could see that his eyes were a little moist.
The young man sighed and continued to comfort: "Don't be like this, let's go home tomorrow, and when you go home, let your father tell you a daughter-in-law. ”
"I can't go back, I can't go back. The white young man's face was desolate, and he suddenly got up and shouted to Xiao Er in Dachang dialect, "Come to wine!
Qin Chuyu suddenly heard the hometown sound, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. When I was in Dachangguo, I rarely met Chen Guoren, and when I came to Wanguo, it was even more difficult to see, especially in such a remote place as Qingniu Town.
So he said to Dong Xiaoping: "Those two are also Chen Guo's, why don't we get to know each other?"
Along the way, Dong Xiaoping has arranged very well many times, so Qin Chuyu likes to ask Dong Xiaoping's opinion in advance.
Although Dong Xiaoping didn't see them as hometowners, he could understand Qin Chuyu's feeling of "seeing fellow villagers with tears in his eyes", plus the two mentioned Xianmen in the conversation, so he also wanted to get acquainted with those two.
"The two of you are from Chen Guo? My young master and I are also from Chen Guo, why don't you put together a table and have a few drinks?"
The young man's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was very happy to meet his hometown here, so he hurriedly said, "We are indeed Chen Guoren, and my brother's proposal is very good, so let's put together a table." ”
Although the white young man was half a beat slower, he also said happily: "Okay, good, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!"
The four of them combined the wine and food into a table, and asked Xiao Er to add two dishes.
The four of them reported each other's names of origin, chatted about their hometown, and chatted for a while about their knowledge on the way, and the atmosphere was so cheerful.
The young man's name was Luo Aniu, and the white young man's name was Luo Renshan. Both of them are relatives, in terms of seniority, Luo Aniu is a generation lower than Luo Renshan, and usually calls him the second uncle.
At this moment, Luo Renshan staggered and held a wine bowl, and said drunkly: "Brother Qin, you and I are like each other at first sight, I will do it first as respect!"
After speaking, without waiting for Qin Chuyu's reaction, the wine leaned up and drank it. After drinking, he continued to pour wine, but Luo Aniu hurriedly stopped him and persuaded: "I saw the two brothers, you have already drunk two more bowls now, but you can't drink anymore." ”
Dong Xiaoping also persuaded at this time: "Don't be greedy for a cup, be careful of hurting yourself." ”
"Hehe, what's the matter with hurting my body? If I don't drink this wine, I'm going to be sad. ”
"Is there anything difficult for Master Luo, can you tell me and see if my master and servant can help you?"
"Thank you, but you can't help me, hehe, no one can help me......" He actually cried as he spoke.
Dong Xiaoping looked at Luo Aniu helplessly, Luo Aniu sighed and slowly said what happened to him.
This Luoren Mountain was originally known as Luo Shishi, and like Luo Aniu, they were all from a farming family. Originally, he was the life of a poor family, but when Luo Shishi was three years old, he met a strange man with a big sword on his back, and the strange man threw a jade token to him and left, leaving only one sentence, "Ten years later, I will go to Qingbo Lake to worship the immortal gate." ”
Although the Luo family didn't know why, they also recognized that the token was very valuable, so they had always kept it very well. Until Luo Shishi was eight years old, a fortune teller recognized that the token was a fairy worship order, and with this order, he could step into the fairy gate, and since then he has been prosperous and wealthy without worry, only worrying about whether he can live with heaven and earth. He also gave this Luo stone a new name, called Luo Ren Mountain, and the combination of the human character and the mountain character became a fairy character.
Since then, the name of the fairy child has spread all over the country, even the county prince has heard about it, and he came to see him, and set a marriage on the spot, which is the youngest daughter of the county prince's family, and is scheduled to get married after the age of fifteen. The surrounding rich and noble families also deliberately made friends and gave a lot of benefits to his family.
So the ordinary poor child Luo Shi became a rich and noble son Luo Renshan. Since then, Luo Renshan has never done any farm work, and he lives every day to open his mouth and stretch out his hand, and within a few years, the whole person has become white and pure, and he can't see that he is a peasant boy at all.
When it was time to worship immortals, the family arranged for Luo Aniu, who had seen the world, to accompany him out. It took a year for the two to get here, because Luo Renshan couldn't stand the fatigue of the journey, and often had to stay in a scenic place to rest, and usually for several days.
In the end, when they arrived at Qingbo Lake, they thought that they could directly enter the immortal gate, but they still needed to take the entrance test. I heard that there was no such test in previous years, but in recent years, there have been too many people who worship immortals, so Xianmen has added this test, in order to select better talents.
The introductory test is very simple, and if nothing else, it is a test of strength.
Everyone who worships immortals has to lift a designated big stone at the gate of the fairy gate, and if they can lift it, they will go home if they can't lift it, which is very fair, but everyone only has one chance.
Luo Renshan, who has been pampered all these years, even if he exerted all his strength, he couldn't lift the stone, so naturally he didn't pass the test.
From the moment Luo Shi became Luo Ren Mountain, he never thought that he would eventually not be able to step into the Immortal Gate, nor did he think about being Luo Shi again, even for a moment.
He felt as if he had a dream.
Luo Renshan returned to Qingniu Town from Qingbo Lake in despair. As if he wanted to numb himself, he either drank or visited the Qinglou all day long, no matter how Luo Aniu persuaded him, he couldn't persuade him, and he refused to leave home for three months.
After listening to Luo Aniu's story, Qin Chuyu let out a long sigh.
Dong Xiaoping said strangely: "Eh, why is the entrance test of the fairy gate of Qingbo Lake a stone? It's too hasty, right?"
Luo Aniu said: "I don't know very well, he said a lot of truths, but I don't understand very well." ”
Speechless.
At this time, he thought of the Xianxia novels he had read in his previous life, so he said: "Master Luo, although you can't enter the immortal gate, it doesn't mean that you can't walk the immortal road, have you ever thought about doing a loose cultivation?"
"What is loose cultivation?" Luo Renshan looked at with drunken eyes.
"Haven't you heard?"
Everyone shook their heads.
It makes Dong Xiaoping strange, isn't there a loose cultivation in this world?
"Casual cultivation is not a beginner's school, a cultivator who cultivates on his own, even if he can't do casual cultivation, you can also find another immortal gate, I think there must be more than one immortal gate in Qingbo Lake. ”
"Hehe", Luo Renshan laughed miserably, looking at Dong Xiaoping, that look was desperate, "It's useless, this master of Qingbo Gate has ruined my spiritual root." ”
"Huh?" Dong Xiaoping couldn't help but exclaim.
Qin Chuyu said curiously, "What is the spiritual root, why do they want to destroy your spiritual root?"
"What else could it be? The ruthless Qingbo Gate, even what they don't want to destroy, they don't want to leave it to others. Luo Renshan said fiercely.
Why does this Qingbo Sect sound so much like the Demon Gate? Even if it is not a Demon Sect, even the Righteous Path Sect is like this...... Dong Xiaoping suddenly felt that the world was starting to be terrifying.
Qin Chuyu saw that everyone didn't speak, so he said, "I'm actually here to worship immortals, so I should say that I also have a spiritual root?"
Dong Xiaoping nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”
Luo Renshan and Luo Aniu heard that Qin Chuyu also came to worship immortals, and they were obviously a little surprised, because there are very few people with immortal fate, don't look at this Qingniu Town is so close to Qingbo Gate, but at this moment, there may be only two of them who have immortal fate in the town.
