Chapter 21: Starfall

The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty changed the national era name to the Great Calendar in the year he ascended the throne, which was the first year of the Great Calendar.

In the fifth year of the calendar, there are countless meteors piercing the sky, landing in all corners of the Xianwu Continent, although this matter has attracted the attention of the imperial court, but the direction of attention is different, as Qin Tianjian said, the stars are like rainfall, it is a sign that the country will be chaotic, countless stars will fall, the court ministers can't help but panic, but those who can do the ministers of the court are also understanding people, now the emperor is so sluggish, if the country is not chaotic, it is strange, this is probably a warning from God to the court.

As for the immortal sect, the Buddha sect, and the Dao sect, although they were suspicious of this huge meteor shower, but when they sent the disciples of the sect to check the place where the meteors landed, they found nothing, not even a trace of the meteor falling, which caused them a little vigilance at the time, but after continuing to investigate for half a year, they still had no clue, so they gave up, and slowly, they didn't pay attention to this matter.

Until the tenth year of the Great Calendar, it seemed that overnight, the entire Xianwu Continent was in chaos, especially within the Three Kingdoms, not only did the big demons frequently cause chaos, but even the rebels attacked the city and occupied the territory, the country began to turmoil, and the people's livelihood became difficult.

The 16 counties of the Tang Dynasty, at the beginning of this year, the southernmost Guangnan County of the Tang Dynasty was occupied by the suddenly huge rebels, and they played the slogan of "cutting down no way, leveling the world", all the way out of Taihu County, all the way to Wuyue County, fortunately in Taihu Lake, the waterways in the two counties of Wuyue are criss-crossed, and the carriages and horses are difficult to travel, and the rebels do not have decent boats and warships, which makes the two low-powered naval divisions of Wuyue Taihu Lake block the pace of attack.

Until now, more than half a year has passed in the tenth year of the Great Calendar, and the war situation has slowly calmed down, but everyone knows that this is only temporary, the rebels are stepping up to supervise the construction of boats and ships, and the imperial court is not idle, and began to dispatch the Beijing Guards to the south to quell the rebellion.

Jiangnan County, to which Qiantang County belongs, is not only adjacent to Wuyue County, but also borders Taihu County, and the rebel army can already be faintly felt, and therefore, the historically prosperous Qiantang County appears to be withering at this time.

The tourists of West Lake began to gradually sparse out, and the caravans were no longer in and out of Qiantang County one after another, and the shops in the county were closed one after another.

This naturally affected the gentry of the entire Qiantang County, especially the Chen family of the Qiantang Wang family, the Chen family's shop business in Qiantang County is barely able to break even, which makes the income of the Chen Mansion greatly reduced all of a sudden, fortunately, the Chen family has accumulated for a hundred years, although the family does not say that there are gold and silver mountains, but it will not be weakened immediately, besides, even if the Chen family rents not much land rent to the maids, but it can't stop this quarter of the Qiantang field, the base is huge, and naturally it can collect tens of thousands of taels of rent every year, but it is not afraid that the entire Chen Mansion will not be able to maintain。

Chen's mansion is very large, but since Chen Shanshui came back from Canghai, under his strong request, three years ago, Li Xiaolian finally couldn't grind her eldest son, and divided the entire inner courtyard into two courtyards, east and west, with a stone brick wall built in the middle.

The West Courtyard has become Chen Shanshui's territory, the old man who grew up with his father wearing open crotch pants sent Xiao Li Dog Egg, was sent to the West Courtyard by his father to be a steward, but there was no subordinate in the West Courtyard, but Li Steward had nothing to manage, and finally became a runner in the West Courtyard and the East Courtyard, and part-time ear report to God, reporting all the situation in the West Courtyard and Li Xiaolian, the head of the family.

Of course, the West Courtyard is not only Chen Shanshui and Li Goudan two people live, in the past three years, slowly some young men and women have moved in, fortunately, the entire West Courtyard was re-planned by Chen Shanshui, pushed to the old house to build a new one, now there are nearly 100 houses, all of which are small bungalows in Yishui, which is incomparable with the pavilions and pavilions of the East Courtyard, but the West Courtyard has a martial arts training platform that occupies most of the land of the West Courtyard, which is not available in the East Courtyard.

At this time, the sky in the distance was slightly white, and there were more than ten young men and women who came to the martial arts training ground on time, they faced the rising sun, sat cross-legged, and breathed in the aura of heaven and earth, unusually serious, as the so-called plan of the day lies in the morning, the aura of heaven and earth in the early morning is more refined than other times, and it is more conducive to the effect of breathing.

Among them, ten young men and women, all wearing plain robes, only the young man at the head, not only wore a simple small vest, but even the lower body, only a pair of five-point shorts, and sat there barefoot and cross-legged and vomited, this young man is naturally Chen Shanshui who has grown up.

In the tenth year of the calendar, Chen Shanshui is already fifteen years old, and he will be considered an adult in half a year.

It is said that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the more beautiful she becomes, Chen Shanshui has also changed, but she has become more handsome, I have to say that his mother Li Xiaolian has such a good appearance, and his father Chen Congxin is also a handsome guy, so he will not give birth to a son with an ordinary appearance.

No, now fifteen-year-old Chen Shanshui has gradually opened, with a clear water chestnut face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, looking forward to brilliance, and with a white dress, walking on the road, that is a handsome son, can cause countless girls to scream.

It's just that other men coil up their long hair and fix it with a wooden hairpin, but Chen Shanshui is troublesome, and he always ties his long hair back to his head, which has become a unique scenery in the entire Qiantang County.

At this time, the other ten young men and women were exhaling the aura of heaven and earth on the martial arts training ground, all of them seemed to be statues, the only movement was the long exhalation and inhalation between the noses, and only Chen Shanshui was slightly different.

Chen Shanshui is also breathing, his exhalation and inhalation are longer than those teenagers, not only that, every time he inhales, the skin and flesh that can be seen up and down his body are expanding with the inhalation, and in the end, the whole person seems to be bigger. Then every time he exhaled, the swollen flesh and skin slowly changed back to its original state as if it had been deflated, and the cycle began like this, and after a while, there was a curling white gas rising on Chen Shanshui's head.

These white gases are actually the aura of heaven and earth absorbed by Chen Shanshui through the exhalation and inhalation, and they are excreted after running in Chen Shanshui's body for a circle, but when they are sucked in, these heaven and earth aura are pure and impurities are scarce, and after running in Chen Shanshui's body for a week and being discharged, they are already very turbid, and they also carry some impurity particles in Chen Shanshui's body, perhaps this white qi is no longer considered aura.

Chen Shanshui didn't have the idea of the endless wisps of white gas above his head, or it could be said that he didn't care at all.

He was completely immersed in the quenching body, emptying his mind, imagining that he had become nothingness, fused into heaven and earth, countless heaven and earth aura washed his empty body over and over again, and every time he could feel his body keep getting stronger and stronger.

The last wisp of finger-thick white qi gradually converged into a pillar of white qi the thickness of a wrist on his head, and at this time, a heavy footstep sounded from far and near.

"Dada...... Da Da ...... Da ......"

I saw a chubby fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, covered with fine sweat, trotted into the martial arts training ground, came directly to Chen Shanshui a few meters in front of him and stopped, looking at Chen Shanshui's head of the white gas like a pillar rising, his eyes couldn't help flashing a look of envy, although his face was a little anxious, but he didn't speak, just waited quietly.
