Thousands of miles to the north of Wushan, is a plain and fertile soil, where there are nearly 1,000 villages and towns of this size, with a population of no less than one million, and in this most central location, there is an ancient city called Anyue.

Early in the morning, the streets of the city are bustling with people, and the peddlers and pawns are busy running for a new day's life, and the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are opened one after another, and customers come and go, busy and happy.

In this vast sea of people, a figure swayed and walked into a restaurant, which is close to the center of the city, standing in a three-storey building, looking at most of the city.

"Guest officer, what do you want, although our Zuixianlou is not the largest restaurant in Anyue, it is also a time-honored brand, with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and Leng Yue Wine is a must. ”

A young boy greeted warmly, he has been in this restaurant for several years, and has seen countless guests coming and going, although the young man in front of him looks only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his steady bearing is extraordinary, his eyebrows are very delicate, and his eyes are shining.

This young man is the second young master of the Niu family who escaped from Wushan in a hurry, Niu Potian.

"Then let's have a pot of good wine, and serve two good dishes, it's troublesome for the little second brother." ”

Niu Er smiled faintly, this was the first time he had seen so many humans since he was reborn, and the ancient city under his feet, although vicissitudes, was full of vitality, much better than the few broken city walls that he protected like a panda in his previous life.

Standing in the midst of everyone, his mind was in a trance, Niu Er seemed to have crossed again, in this earthly years, he was so confused and sunk, and it may not be a life.

Far away from right and wrong, away from life and death, only in the red dust to see the world, the secluded thousands of years is just a snap of a finger, flowers bloom and fall, birth, old age, sickness and death, maybe life is over, it is not a kind of happiness.

"Boy. Your mind is in turmoil, beware of going mad. ”

A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Niu Er's soul was shocked, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared instantly. After thinking about it for a long time, he said quietly: "Watching these human beings running around for a living, busy all their lives, struggling in this world, and when they die, they can also smile at Jiuquan. Sometimes they are happier than my monks. ”

"Cut, stupid. ”

Niu Er's chest was painted with a red bird that was about to fly, at this time, the bird's head seemed to come to life, and he glanced at him disdainfully, and said: "No matter how good a mortal is, he is just blinded, he can't see the avenue outside the sky, and he can't find the extreme beauty of the world, just like a chicken and duck in captivity." ”

"If only they could cultivate. You see how many people are willing to live in this world, and who doesn't want to be able to hold power and control life and death in the world. It's just that they have no way to be forced to be helpless, so they can only conform to the constraints of this heavenly way, and spend their whole lives doing nothing and becoming a passerby in this world. ”

Niu Er was stunned, he didn't expect that Bi Fang, who had always been proud and arrogant, could also say such philosophical words. I couldn't help but glance at it, and the old bird's head shrank and turned into a pattern, as if it was knitted on top of the clothes.

"Passerby?"

Silent sighs. Niu Er's brows furrowed, and then he looked out the window, and the surging people turned into white bones and ashes in his eyes, like floating to watch the sun, only a moment of brightness, not even a grain of smoke and dust in the vicissitudes of the universe.

I can't die like this!

Niu Er looked up at the sky. I only feel that there is a pair of ruthless eyes on it, observing this world for life, a knife of time cuts off all the vitality, so that everyone dies in ignorance unconsciously.

At this moment, unprecedented fear surged into my heart, and at the same time, there was an urgent germ bursting out in my heart, I don't know how wonderful the outer world is, how can I not step on the world, overlook the way of heaven, trace the ancestors of the immortals, and finally embark on the road of no return - the path of immortality.

I will turn aside the way of heaven and see the true leisure.

The soul was shocked, and the Yuan Shen exploded, as if hundreds of millions of heavenly thunder fell from the sky, the sound of the sky collapsing sounded in his ears, and the essence of Niu Er's eyes suddenly flashed, three points brighter than the scorching sun, and an invisible temperament emanated from his body, if there was nothing, but it seemed to be tenacious.

"Grandma, how can you realize the Tao quickly, see your ambition clearly, not be blinded by the red dust, faster than this king back then, it's too unreasonable. ”

A faint voice came out of Niu Er's chest, Bi Fang shook his little head very depressed, and sighed that the heavens were unfair, he was also a demon clan, why did this stupid cow understand more thoroughly than himself.

Even Niu Er didn't know, he inadvertently broke through his state of mind, and now he can be regarded as truly stepping into the path of cultivating the truth, all things in heaven and earth, countless living beings are struggling, pursuing the false way of heaven, but a few people can see through themselves and understand the truth of the avenue.

"A pot of wine in the cold moon spring washes away all the dust of the turbid world, guest officer, your cold moon wine is here. ”

Xiao Er came back quickly, carefully holding a tray with a pot of wine and two plates of dishes on it, and introduced in a loud voice: "Spiced beef and dragon and phoenix and Ming are all signature dishes in the store, famous for hundreds of miles, the guest officer may wish to try it, it will definitely satisfy you." ”

"Uh...... Beef?"

Niu Er was stunned for a moment, his face was slightly heavy, his head was a little dizzy, he was a reckless cow, but he was sitting here eating beef at the moment, it seemed a little unreasonable.

However, the taste is quite fragrant, I sniffed, a thick smell of meat penetrated deep into my heart and spleen, saliva flowed out, big eyes turned around several times, entangled, if I ate it, I don't know if I will be punished by God and be hacked to death by God.

"Boy, if you are reluctant to eat it, you might as well give it to this king. ”

Bi Fang took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to stretching out his little head, secretly glanced around, his small mouth opened slightly, and suddenly half a plate of beef flew into his mouth, although he only had the Yuan Shen, he also chewed it for a while, and it seemed to have an endless aftertaste.

"Thief bird, you can't taste it, why are you eating so vigorously, you leave me a few pieces. ”

Amitabha, Niu Er secretly thought, seeing that the beef was about to be gone, where could he still take care of the entanglement, with a wave of his big hand, he directly picked up the plate and poured it all into his mouth, but silently recited in his heart: The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the old cow sits in his heart.

As for the plate of dragon and phoenix chorus, it is made of chicken and snake meat, the taste is also very special, Niu Er tasted it very seriously, the sauce taste is very distinctive, oily but not greasy, very refreshing.

Cold Moon Wine, as its name suggests, suddenly feels a chill fall into the body in the mouth, quiet but not cold. The cold breath shattered from the stomach and rushed into the limbs, and the whole body trembled slightly in an instant, like a heavy rain in the dog days. All-over Shutai.

"Good wine. ”

Niu Er was surprised, he actually tasted a trace of aura in this cold moon wine, it seems that the person who made this wine is not a mortal, he picked up the wine pot and poured it again, but found that the whole pot of wine was dry. Not a drop left.

Glancing at Bi Fang on his chest, he snorted coldly, it must be the ghost of this thief bird, otherwise who else can avoid his divine thoughts and steal the wine inside.

"Hey, little second brother, please have another jar of cold moon wine. ”

There weren't many people eating on the third floor, so Niu Er beckoned him and asked, "Dare to ask the little second brother, I don't know if this cold moon wine came from that person's hand." The taste is so special that it will be memorable?"

"The guest officer really asked the right person, if you don't know anything else, this cold moon wine is personally prepared by my shopkeeper, and the secret recipe is an ancestral thing, it is said that the ancestor who created this wine has the title of wine fairy, and everyone knows it for thousands of miles, even the emperor of Dali is full of praise. ”

The shopkeeper introduced it very confidently, and then saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "My shopkeeper is not an ordinary person. Although she is a woman, her temperament is bold, and she is even more confidant with General Shi Yisong, hehe. In less than three months, when the general captured the capital of Dali and established himself as the king, the shopkeeper of my family will inevitably become a king, and the mother will be the world. ”

"This General Shi is amazing, that's an immortal who can fly to the sky. Three years ago, he rose up, swept 100,000 troops with his own strength, led the army to attack everything, invincible, and occupied half of the country in just three years. ”

Xiao Er became more and more fluent the more he spoke, sighed, and said: "General Shi is an immortal who loves the people like a son, these years the Dali Dynasty is really rotten, the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes are increasing day by day, the people are miserable, I don't know how many villagers starved to death in their own farmland, many villages were slaughtered by Dali's army, it is really not as good as beasts." ”

"The companion who grew up with me was beaten to death in front of my eyes, if it weren't for the little one and the old mother to support, he would have given up this job and defected to the general, or he would have killed a few villains who had died with this life. ”

The shopkeeper's eyes were slightly red, Xu thought of something sad, let out a long sigh, and was suddenly speechless.

"Shi Yisong?"

Niu Er muttered, his eyes lit up slightly, this name is not unfamiliar, because his cheap apprentice's name is this, he was originally called Shi Xiaosong, but after entering the sect, he changed his name to Shi Yisong, but I don't know if this person is the same person as his apprentice who has not met for many years.

The words made the guest officer smile. ”

Xiao Er apologized, looked at Niu Eryi's clothes were all animal skins, but he was very chic, and thought that the young master of the big clan lived in the court and didn't ask about the world, so he specially explained: "Guest officer, you see, that is where General Shi recruits strong soldiers, and also recruits immortals to join the army, and the salary is higher than ten taels of silver every year." ”

As he pointed out in his hand, two streets away, there were hundreds of people crowded together, and there were not a few cheers, envy that someone had been requisitioned, as if it was a great honor.

On the other side, there is also a luxurious mansion, with a banner hanging outside the door, and two middle-aged men sitting upright at the door, both of them are cultivators at the peak of Qi training, receiving monks who come and go, and entering the mansion after registering.

Niu Er frowned, with his divine thoughts, he could naturally sweep the entire city, there were four peak Qi cultivation cultivators in that mansion, three in the early stage of foundation building, two in the middle stage of foundation building, and three masters at the peak of the late stage of foundation building, and another obscure divine thought, which should be a figure in the Jindan period.

The two armies fought in a big war, all of them were mortals as soldiers, and they rarely requisitioned monks, because their own apprentice's war was involved in sects, otherwise how could they requisition these loose cultivators to strengthen their strength, and a few Qi cultivators were only a little stronger than ordinary soldiers, but they were useless.

It seems that most of the monks beckoning this time are still mainly casual cultivators, as long as they are lured to benefit, they can be used to resist the pressure of the sect, but I don't know what kind of monks the front line is facing, if it is a god, a slap is enough to wipe out tens of thousands of foundations. (To be continued.) )
