Chapter 268: How is the world?]
August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was supposed to be a day for the whole country to celebrate, but it was suppressed by the flames of war in various places.
On the seventh day of August, the vampire demon broke through the capital, stepped on the sky street, killed more than 100,000 people, and the heads were piled up at the south gate of the capital, several and the city were high, the palace was gone, the imperial tomb was dug up, and the world was sad.
This is the most terrifying page of the human race in recorded history.
In the next few days, the vampire demons of Jing, Yang, Yi, Henan, and Yan took advantage of the situation to launch a strong attack, and the army of each state and county did not dare to stop, and they were defeated and retreated, and the loss of land continued, and the situation had reached the most critical moment.
Fortunately, when today's son led the remnants of the army to evacuate the Beijing division in time on the day of the city break, he was safe and sound, and temporarily reassured the people, otherwise there would inevitably be chaos.
On the ninth day of the first month of August, the Son of Heaven would join forces in Zhuoluyuan, Jizhou, and plan a counterattack.
On the 14th, the vampire army arrived, and the two armies faced each other, and the battle was about to break out.
In one day, the world changed color, and all eyes were on Zhuolu Plain.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there were two emperors in the Zhuolu Plain for the last battle for the world, the winner owned the world, and the loser turned into dust.
This battle has not yet reached this point, but in fact, the meaning is almost the same, if this battle is lost again, even if the human race still has half of the country, it will be difficult to hold on, and if it wins, there is still a glimmer of life.
So everyone in the world is watching this battle, hoping to win.
This situation, spreading everywhere, even in the most remote ravines, is just as scorching with public opinion.
In Yangzhou, Zijin Town.
Although Zijin Town was built only ten years ago, it was built by a group of craftsmen after the sudden collapse of Purple Mountain.
At first, the role was just as a place for craftsmen to stay, and later the craftsmen withdrew, mainly as a base for searching for people, saying that they were looking for someone in the collapsed Purple Mountain ruins.
It's just that ten years have passed, and no one remembers the events of that year for a long time, and now Zijin Town has become a place of refuge.
Because of the appearance of the vampire demon, there was turmoil in various places, but Yangzhou was still stable, and Zijin Town was in the rear, and there was no possibility of being disturbed by the vampire demon.
Later, for some reason, the reputation spread, and more and more people began to come to Zijin Town, and as the war became unfavorable for one day, more and more displaced people fled, and the army retreated, and even the government focused on Zijin Town, which was originally just a small town barely a ravine.
Officers and soldiers began to be stationed in Zijin Town, and there was also an official mayor, and because after the collapse of Zijin Mountain, many places were excavated, Zijin Town was actually in a convenient place for transportation, which was convenient for cars and horses, and Zijin Town became a de facto material transfer station.
On the day of August 15, although the world is sad and frosty, Zijin Town has been far away from the war, even if the fleeing refugees temporarily brought some sorrow, they were quickly dispersed by the fresh atmosphere of Zijin Town, so this mountainous place, there is actually a lot of Mid-Autumn Festival reunion atmosphere, everywhere is full of lights, there are selling freshly baked moon cakes along the street, and the restaurants and tea shops everywhere are also full of people, which is really lively.
But it was said that at this time, among the Feixian Building, the largest restaurant in Zijin Town, it was full of friends, all over the world, and there was everything to talk about.
"Eh, do you know why this Feixian Building is called Feixian Building?" Suddenly, at this moment, in the northwest corner of the restaurant, a man seemed to have drunk too much, and shouted loudly, and the loud sound almost overshadowed the entire building.
So everyone naturally stopped talking and looked at him.
Someone took a sip of wine and asked, "Oh, why?" ”
"Hahaha, was I asked, right? Okay, since you asked, then why don't I tell you?" The drunken man was looked at by the whole restaurant, and seemed to be more and more interested, stepped on the table with one foot, picked up a wine bottle and began to speak with a red face, "Why, if it is called Feixian Building, this has to be said from ten years ago......
"Ten years ago, there were two peerless masters who fought at the top of the Forbidden City, one with a knife, one with a sword, the two started the duel all the way from the top of the mountain, sword to sword, even the peak of the mountain was flattened, and finally the one who used the sword used a trick of flying immortals, a sword destroyed the entire Purple Mountain, and then there was today's Zijin Town, in order to pay tribute to the great power of the sword immortal, so the name of the flying fairy was taken. The man drank and talked eloquently, and then took the time to look at the shocked eyes of the people around him, and his legs shook proudly in his heart, and he was completely happy.
"I see, I only knew that the Purple Mountain was destroyed by the master duel, but I didn't know that it was destroyed by a master of swordsmanship with a sword of flying immortals, such a great power, it is really fascinating!"
But some people also expressed doubts: "But since that predecessor is so miraculous, why haven't we heard of it?"
"Hey, boy, you just entered the rivers and lakes at first glance, and it's normal to be lonely and unheard. The drunken man glanced at the person who asked the question with drunken eyes, and found that it was a hairy boy in his teens, and immediately sneered, "Today, grandpa will teach you a good one, the one who used the technique of flying immortals is none other than Qin Mingyue, the bright moon in Shuzhong who shocked the rivers and lakes ten years ago." ”
"That'...... What about the one with the knife?" the young man asked again.
"The one with the knife, hehe, isn't that Gu ...... Not. Suddenly, the drunken man said a word, but he suddenly paused, and then immediately a bean-sized grain of sweat appeared on his head, as if he was frightened by something, and the wine also woke up, shook his head, and actually jumped off the table.
"Why don't you say it, uncle?" the young man asked, his tone a little defiant.
"I don't know, what about it? The man didn't refute it, but just drank the wine with his head down, as if he was afraid.
"Huh-" At that moment, someone suddenly laughed.
"Who's laughing?" the man slapped the table angrily, looked up to follow the voice, but saw a cold-faced scholar sitting on the second floor with a folding fan.
As soon as the cold-faced scholar opened the folding fan, he was not afraid of the man's eyes at all, but said the word "I" coldly.
"What are you laughing at?" the man bared his teeth.
"I laugh at you for being cowardly, can't you? I don't even dare to say a name, and I dare to say that I am a person in the rivers and lakes, but don't you laugh at death?" The cold-faced scholar gently shook the folding fan and spoke badly.
But the man actually endured it, and just said, "Okay, you are bold, you say." ”
"Isn't it Gu Yue'an? What if I said it? What's the matter?" the cold-faced scholar closed the folding fan, slapped it in the palm of his hand with a snap, and sneered.
In an instant, the time in the entire Feixian Building seemed to freeze.
But in fact, it's not that time freezes, it's just that many people subconsciously hold their breath and look frightened.
It's as if this cold-faced scholar's words opened some taboo box, and released a forbidden breath from the box, if you don't hold your breath and inhale that forbidden breath, you will die.
And most of these people who are holding their breath are some age, people in their thirties and forties, and the rest of the younger ones are looking at each other, not knowing what is happening.
"Uninteresting, quite uninteresting. The cold-faced scholar looked at this scene and just shook his head, looking disappointed.
“...... This, may I ask this Gu Yue'an, who is it, how can it seem that everyone ......" The young man who asked before didn't know why, so he asked the cold-faced scholar for help.
The cold-faced scholar listened, and the hand that tapped his palm with a folding fan paused.
The drunken man from before suddenly showed a sneer, staring at him coldly, as if to see how he responded.
Unexpectedly, the cold-faced scholar only paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's an anti-thief, do you want to hear about the anti-thief?"
"Uh......" The young man was choked, and then he remembered that this Gu Yue'an's surname was Gu, and he was afraid that he really had a lot to do with the thief, so he just shook his head and said, "No, no, no." ”
In these years, the anti-thief is as terrible as the vampire, and once he is involved with the anti-thief, it really can't be washed.
"Huh...... This gentleman, you seem to be ...... Liu ......"
"Yes, Liu Feng in the lower capital. The cold-faced scholar didn't wait for the young man to finish speaking, he had already stood up and bowed his hand slightly towards him.
"Wow, it's really Mr. Liu, I'll just say yes, just as arrogant as the rumors. As soon as Liu Feng reported to his home, the young people who were staring at him before immediately exploded.
"What kind of arrogance, have you ever read a book, this is called free and uninhibited. Someone corrected.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is uninhibited, and he is really extraordinary at first sight today. Someone else said with a little admiration.
"It's actually Mr. Liu Feng, in Xia Nie Zhen, I have seen Mr. today, I am really fortunate to have three lives, I have read Mr. Liu's book "On Heroes", as well as "The Legend of Demons" are all incisive and unique, I really admire it!" The young man who spoke first immediately shook his head to the ground and said.
"False praise, but nonsense, is really ridiculous and generous. Saying that, Liu Feng's face did not look like he was praised at all, but was full of pride.
"Who am I, it turned out to be Mr. Liu Feng Liu in the capital. The drunken man also spoke at this time, snorting very disdainfully.
"Oh, this brother, do you have any opinion of someone Liu?" Liu Feng looked at him coldly.
The big man wanted to speak, but was pulled by his companion on the side.
He remembered that although this Liu Feng was just relying on a mouth and a pen to blow the atmosphere, but in the end, he was quite famous in the capital, he had some connections in the official face, and his martial arts were really not weak.
Then, he waved his sleeves and said, "No." Then he sat down sullenly and drank again.
Liu Feng sneered again, opened the folding fan and fanned it.
And those young Jianghu guests laughed when they saw Liu Feng win, and the one named Nie Zhen was the leader, and said to Liu Feng: "Mr. Liu, it is better to meet by chance, since we are destined to meet here today, I don't know if we can listen to Mr. talk about the heroes of the world on the spot, so as to comfort me and other lovesick suffering." ”
"Okay, you ask. Liu Feng folded the fan again, looking like a master outside the world.
"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, I want to know what you think of Li Xiaoran!" someone asked impatiently without waiting for Nie Zhen to speak.
"Do you really want to listen?" Liu Feng asked without answering.
At first, those young people were stunned, but after all, they were young and vigorous, and there were many people, so they soon responded in unison: "Listen, listen!"
Of course, they really want to hear it, too.
"Chang'an Li Xiaoran, who ascended to the congenital realm at the age of seventeen and was weak, is really a genius, but it is useless to talk about the anti-thief party. Liu Feng said in the end, shook his head, and said nothing.
"Don't, Mr. Liu, we still want to hear it!" he didn't say, but he was anxious about the young people.
"Yes, Mr. Liu, let's talk about it!"
"Let's talk about it!"
"Okay, what else do you want to know?" Liu Feng said reluctantly.
"This ...... I don't know about this ...... Miss Li Xiaoran...... She...... Hehe......" The young people suddenly became embarrassed, and they all frowned.
"Can I get married?"
"And what kind of man do you like?"
"Is she wearing a dress?"
"Do you want to apply rouge?"
......
"Who are you and me?!" Liu Feng suddenly slapped the railing, so shocked that the young people were silent, "Am I Yue Lao?" or do you really want to marry a thief as a wife and become a thief?"
"Don't dare, don't dare ......," the young people said in unison.
"Mr. Liu, let's talk about Lord Night at the end of the night, I heard that Lord Night fought the sixth demon King Elvis Presley Li Suikang in Jiaozhou last month, I heard that he defeated Li Suijian and killed 8,000 vampire demons in a row, which is a rare victory in recent years, you can tell me about Lord Ye Mo and Elvis Presley Li Suikuang. In the end, it was Nie Zhen who opened his mouth and changed the subject.
But Liu Feng's face is still not good-looking, because when the famous demon general Ye Mo was still in the capital, he didn't have a good relationship with him, and the two sides fought each other for an Oiran called Don't Lose, and the last person to win was Ye Mo, not only that, but Ye Mo also hugged the beauty, and in recent years, he has become famous for his merit in eliminating demons, and it has long been not that he Liu Feng can compare.
Now if I want him to comment on the end of the night, Liu Feng's face is naturally ugly, but he still reluctantly spoke: "At the end of the night, even if the martial arts are good, and I am also in the middle of the game, but unfortunately the character is too bad, relying on the whiskers to pat the horse, this time to defeat the Elvis Presley Li Sui, even if there are his own reasons, but he has countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and he really deserves a praise." ”
"This ...... I heard that there is a gap between Lord Night and Mr. Liu, it can't be ......," someone said with some hesitation.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Liu has always been fair and fair, how can he be selfish!" someone immediately retorted.
"Yes, it must be that at the end of the night, he was indeed of inferior character!"
"I only found out when Mr. Liu said it today, and I thought he was a good person at the end of the night!"
"Yes, Mr. Liu is wise!"
Suddenly there was a sound of praise.
Liu Feng's body fluttered when he heard this, tonight was the most comfortable night he had since he fled the capital.
But he hadn't been comfortable for long before he was interrupted by a commotion.
I only heard Xiao Er of Feixian Lou screaming: "You! You can't go in! You stinky beggar! Get out of here quickly!"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, although there are a lot of homeless people in Zijin Town, but the products near Zijin Mountain are abundant, and it is not difficult to support themselves by themselves, beggars are still rare, after all, under the conditions of the situation, no one still has to nod face.
Today, there will be beggars, and they will break into the most expensive Feixian Mansion in Zijin Town, everyone is curious and looks over.
I saw a man with white hair and rags, who couldn't see his age clearly, walked in quickly, and didn't pay attention to the shouts of Xiao Er chasing behind.
The white-haired beggar stood still in the lobby of the Feixian Tower, as if looking for something.
And the little er who was chasing him had already taken a wooden stick and was about to knock it on from the back stick.
At this moment, the drunken man at the beginning grabbed Xiao Er and said, "Maybe people have some difficulties, why bother?"
After speaking, he looked at the white-haired beggar, but he couldn't help but be stunned, because although the beggar looked sloppy, his eyes were extremely clear, and at that moment, the drunken man thought that he had seen a full moon.
"Is this brother looking for something?" he couldn't help asking.
"Wine. The man said a word, but it seemed that he had not spoken for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, if it weren't for the drunken man's proximity, he probably guessed something, and almost couldn't understand it.
So he immediately picked up the wine on his table and handed it over.
The beggar was not polite, drank all the wine in one gulp, and then let out a sigh of relief, looking up at the roof of the Feixian Tower, as if he was not looking at the roof, but at the distant starry sky.
After a long time, he whispered to himself, "In the ten years that I have been away, is the world okay?"
