Chapter 1: Misfortune
The spring of the five hundred and thirty years of the Heavenly Walkers
In the small border town of Xiyuan, there is a wide and magnificent courtyard, like a palace.
A tall, muscular man lifted the boy by the collar and threw him out.
kept scolding angrily: "Where did you come from, stinky beggar, don't get away!"
The thin Cheng Miao was directly thrown out of the high steps in front of the gate by a nursing home.
Fortunately, there had just been a heavy snowfall, and the ground was covered with thick snow, otherwise this time, I am afraid that I would have broken a few of his bones.
The nurse seemed to have just smelled the smell of Cheng Miao's body, the nurse looked bitter, tilted his head to the side and made a gesture of vomiting, remembering that he had used his hand to catch this stinky beggar just now, and a feeling of nausea made him want to vomit.
The nurse raised his hand and kept wiping it around his pants, as if something disgustingly dirty had been glued.
Cheng Miao's body was already thin and thin, and this time he fell into a lot of meat, and the pain was unbearable.
He struggled to get up, and said loudly: "I am the young master of the Cheng family, my name is Cheng Miao! β
When the two nurses heard this, after the two looked at each other, they laughed out loud.
The laughter grew louder and louder, and the two obviously didn't believe what Cheng Miao said.
The sound here was also heard by others, and when they heard Cheng Miao's words, they couldn't help it one by one, and laughed out loud.
The onlookers were men and women, and one of them, a gorgeously dressed woman, with a beautiful face and a bewitching figure, said: "When did a stinky beggar come to the city again?
The man next to her hurriedly chimed in: "I think it's a little beggar who is hungry and dizzy, coming to cheat and eat and drink!"
Someone else said: "The deceived eater deceived the housekeeper's head, I'm afraid I don't know how to write dead words!"
Someone replied: "Maybe he really doesn't know how to write dead characters, his stomach can't be filled, and he still has money to go to school?"
The people around were talking, but obviously no one believed that the beggar in front of him was the young master of the Cheng family.
What kind of family is the Cheng family? A family of cultivators with a long history, and the territory belonging to the Cheng family is so vast, what would the young master of such a family look like?
When I say this, I'm afraid I want to make others laugh and lose their big teeth!
The onlookers obviously regarded Cheng Miao as a joke, and they all laughed very happily.
"It's a laughing death..."
The nurse also opened his mouth and laughed: "Just like you, you are still a young master, then am I not the head of the entire Cheng family's vein line? Good son first call Daddy for me to hear!"
The words were full of sarcasm.
Cheng Miao seemed to have been stabbed in the soft underbelly and said that it hurt, he clenched the fist in his hand and smashed it the thick snow.
Looking at the people around him, they all pointed at him, and from time to time they leaked a cold ridicule, a ruthless ridicule...
He only felt that his dignity was as if he had been thrown on the ground and trampled, his dirty face was red with shame, and his heart felt even more humiliated.
He struggled to get up and said viciously: "I want to see Guan Pingle!"
The two courtyards put away their playfulness, they didn't believe what Cheng Miao said at all, they just thought that he was a very hungry beggar.
Hungry people can do anything, let alone come here to touch porcelain, let them eat people, these beggars may be able to eat it.
And if the butler saw that there was such a disgusting beggar at the door, they would inevitably have to be punished.
As soon as he thought of this, another of the guards had a hideous face, and said in a vicious tone: "He is your father, I am your ancestor! Stinky beggar, hurry up and go back to your kennel for Lao Tzu, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's eyes!"
The former nurse apparently heard that his companion was taking advantage of him, and the two of them cursed at each other.
"Little beggar", "dirty", "he stinks", "what are the clothes torn"......
The laughter around him grew louder and louder, as if it was constantly surrounding his ears.
Cheng Miao clenched her fists and gasped for breath, as if she was extremely angry.
Gritted his teeth and said, "You go to inform Guan Pingle, just say that Cheng Miao is looking for him!"
In the past, there were quite a few beggars who came here to cheat and eat and drink, and the first few times they saw it, they believed it to be true, but what turned out to be the result? After the report, the month's salary was gone.
The housekeeper also scolded and said: If it is really related to the master, will it be the identity of a beggar?
Since then, these nurses have seen a lot, and they have become accustomed to it, and no one really thinks that what these beggars say will be the truth, and they can do anything for a full meal.
One of them raised his fist and looked like he was about to fight: "It's too late for you to leave now! If you don't kneel down and call Grandpa twice, I'll send you to see your true ancestor in the soil!"
This sentence seemed to completely hurt Cheng Miao, and he raised his small fist and rushed towards the two.
The two guards stepped down the stairs in three steps and two steps, and one of them kicked the beggar so hard that he kicked the beggar and flew out.
The surrounding onlookers hurriedly flashed away, and kept saying: "This little beggar provokes the people in charge, I'm afraid he will lose half his life!"
All of them, the gatekeepers, represent the faΓ§ade of the master, and they are all seven or eight feet tall, like an iron tower.
One of them gloated in a low voice, "Hard, hard, kick him in the stomach..."
In the past, the people in charge of the government were also rampant, and the one who gloated was also beaten by the nursing home, and today I see this nursing home beating others.
Instead of raising any empathy, he secretly hoped that the nursing home would be heavier, as if he would get a distorted sense of comfort and deformed pleasure when he saw that others were worse than him.
Cheng Miao is less than five feet tall, thin and weak, as if a gust of wind can blow him down, where can he withstand this big man's kick?
As soon as he got down, Cheng Miao lay on the ground, wailing, obviously this kick was not light.
The two guards were obviously not prepared to let him go like this, and followed up and kicked the beggar one by one, and kept cursing.
"You stinky little beggar, you dare to do something with Lao Tzu!"
"I'm going crazy hungry, I'm going to kill you today. β
The two of them added their fists and feet, and they kept falling on Cheng Miao's body like raindrops, and every punch and kick used up their strength, and they looked like they were fighting to the death.
Some people look on coldly, some people gloat, and some people are sad... But they all have one thing in common, that is, no one dares to stop them!
These two nurses are not afraid of anything happening at all, in this cold and freezing scene, I don't know how many beggars freeze to death every day, who will care about him as a nameless little beggar? .
Cheng Miao shrank tightly into a ball, constantly rolling her body, and the screams in her mouth were endless.
When Cheng Miao didn't react, the two stopped.
One of them said: "Hurry up and pull it away, it will stain the old man's eyes later, and we will definitely have no good fruit to eat!"
The other spat and kicked twice hard, and said in a broken mouth: "Bad luck thing, soiled my feet!"
A living life may pass away like this, and finally someone still has compassion and secretly sighs: "Evil!"
The two were about to start dragging the unconscious beggar away, when the four of them walked out of the crowd carrying a sedan chair.
The crowd quickly moved out of the way, and all of them lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the sedan chair.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, and a person lifted the curtain and walked out of the sedan chair, only to see him dressed in a gorgeous costume, a crown on his head, and a dignified appearance, and he knew that he was not a simple character at a glance.
The two guards hurriedly made a big salute, lowered their heads, and said respectfully in their mouths: "Master!"
The middle-aged man was the Guan Pingle that the beggar said.
Guan Pingle frowned and asked, "What are you two doing down here?"
The tone was full of displeasure, as if he was blaming the two of them for leaving their posts without permission.
Cold sweat broke out on their heads, and one of them hurriedly said, "There is a little beggar who doesn't know what is going on, fainted in front of the door, I am afraid that he will die here, very unlucky! β
The two of them have all pushed them clean of the evil deeds they have done, and they are almost dead anyway, so what to say, it is not up to them to have the final say.
As he spoke, one of the guards swept towards the onlookers with a fierce look, as if to warn everyone.
The onlookers were silent one by one, and they didn't dare to provoke the two vicious guardians.
Guan Pingle was also extremely tired of these beggars in the past, so he didn't ask too much.
Guan Pingle nodded, waved his hand and motioned for the two to move the beggar away.
The two of them were overjoyed, and the matter was revealed.
The two dragged one of Cheng Miao's legs on the left and the right, just like dragging a dead corpse, directly to a corner where no one was around.
At this time, everyone saw that there was no excitement to see, and the master of the mansion also returned, for fear of getting into trouble, and scattered one by one.
Guan Pingle's eyes flashed, and his heart shook violently under a glance, and he hurriedly said, "Come back!"
The two of them dragged one leg back again, and seeing Cheng Miao's upper body dragging on the ground like this, he couldn't help but secretly curse these two fools.
Everyone's eyes were once again attracted by Guan Pingle's voice.
Guan Pingle couldn't hold back the anger and fear in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Let it go!
Guan Pingle hurriedly set off by himself and walked up, and when he looked closely, his heart was even more like a stormy wave.
Guan Pingle secretly said in his heart: The material of this clothing, the lines on it...
It is clearly the Cheng family vein line that is second only to the door of the Nine Clans in the West Plains!
Guan Pingle ignored the stench coming from the beggar's body, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt on the beggar's face.
In my heart, it was as if the sky had fallen, this was clearly the young master of the Cheng family's vein system, Cheng Miao!
If something happens to the little ancestor of the Cheng family...
Guan Pingle couldn't help but shudder, this kind of result was not something he could afford at all!
When the two guards saw that the old man had wiped the dirt off the beggar's face in spite of the filth and stench, they knew that this matter was bad!
Cheng Miao, who was unconscious, also woke up at this time, and the moment he saw Guan Pingle, he said slowly: "Guan... Pingle..."
It looks like a gossamer, as if it is about to die!
If something really happened to this little ancestor, Guan Pingle knew that not only would he die miserably, but even his family would not escape his life!
He couldn't keep calm anymore, and he couldn't care about his face, his knees were weak, and he actually knelt on the ground, shouting: "Little master, I'm guilty!!"
The onlookers next to him were stunned: What is the situation? Could it be that this little beggar is really the young master of the Cheng family?
The invincible old man, the actual controller of this small city, actually knelt down for this little beggar regardless of face?
One of the guards thought of what had just happened, that the beggar had not fainted by himself, but had been beaten half to death by them.
They also wanted the little beggar to kneel, and said that it was his ancestor......
Thinking of the previous things, their faces were as white as earth, and one by one they also knelt down towards Guan Pingle and Cheng Miao, and their heads slammed on the snow on the ground.
shouted loudly: "Le Ye spares his life! The little one has eyes without beads, and he has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, Le Ye spares his life!"
Seeing this, the other also knelt down violently, and said loudly in his mouth: "Master Le, for the sake of me who used to be your fellow townsman and helped you, spare my life!"
Guan Pingle is even more annoyed by this, and the nursing home that often talks about the past.
Guan Pingle has always wanted to dilute the unbearable past, and try his best to draw a line with his former self, every time he sees the old acquaintance of this fellow villager, it is like reminding himself of the mark that can never be erased.
Guan Pingle said in a low voice: "I just ate one steamed bun from you back then, and today I will pay you back a hundred..."
Guan Pingle knew that the top priority was to save Cheng Miao, so he hurriedly took Cheng Miao behind him and entered the hospital.
He said in a cold tone: "When the little young master recovers, let him cure the sins of the two of you, wait for death!"
With that, he turned around and entered the courtyard, leaving behind two nursing homes that kept kowtowing and wailing.
The crowd of onlookers discussed again.
"These two guys who look down on people deserve it!"
"I can actually see at a glance that the little beggar has an extraordinary temperament..."
The bewitching woman was also shining at this time, staring at the housekeeper's house.
If you climb the high branches of the Cheng family...
One by one, they seemed to have forgotten how they humiliated the boy as much as possible, as if that person was not them...
When Cheng Miao woke up again, he found him lying in a strange room.
At this time, the sky outside the window is bright, shining through the window, leaving a little spot of light.
Cheng Miao looked around, although there were only simple tables and chairs in the room, they were all finely made, simple and not simple.
He tried to get up, but he noticed a tingling pain coming from his body, and someone happened to push the door in.
The person who came was Guan Pingle.
As soon as Guan Pingle saw Cheng Miao wake up, he hurriedly greeted him, and he actually looked a little scared.
Guan Pingle hurriedly asked: "Little master, what's the matter with you, come to my remote place, and don't say anything in advance, I'll welcome you." β
Then he said indignantly: "Those two damn minions, I have already broken one of their legs, and you can see what to do with the rest." β
Cheng Miao's face was bitter, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
He spoke up, "I'm hungry." β
Now Cheng Miao just wants to have a good meal, he doesn't know how long he hasn't eaten.
When he had filled his stomach, he said, "My daddy, they..."
Guan Pingle hurriedly said, "What's wrong with the head of the family!"
"The people who were killed by the formation pattern department, there was no one left, only that Cheng Xi, the aunt who had no news and me, survived. β
As he spoke, he clenched his fists again, and his eyes were already red!
Guan Pingle's heart was already a big stone falling to the ground, and he said secretly: Sure enough
Guan Pingle is under the jurisdiction of the Cheng family vein system, but the direct personnel of the Cheng family vein system have not appeared for nearly half a year.
The Formation Pattern System, which was already about to fall into defeat, was relieved and kept pocketing the assets belonging to the Pattern Pattern System.
In private, there have long been suspicions about the vein system.
After hearing this, Guan Pingle's attitude had changed slightly.
Guan Pingle was standing aside, bending down like a servant, but after a while, he straightened up and walked out.
Before leaving, he left a sentence lightly: "I have something to deal with." β
threw Cheng Miao in the room and walked out alone.
Cheng Miao didn't think much about it, just dragged her tired body again, lay down on the bed again, and fell asleep.
After Guan Pingle walked out of the room, he went straight to a quiet study, usually, except for the people who cleaned in the morning and evening, no one would come here without Guan Pingle's instructions.
He casually said to a maid: "Let the housekeeper come to the bamboo forest Xiaozhu immediately, I will wait for him there." β
After a while, the two met in a small bamboo forest in a quiet place.
Guan Pingle sat on the chair and said straight to the point: "It seems that the collapse of the vein system is true!"
The housekeeper bowed down and poured a cup of tea for Guan Pingle, and he stood aside and waited, not daring to sit down at all.
The butler replied respectfully: "This is just a rumor, where did you get the exact news? Could it be that the beggar you brought back yesterday is really the young master of the vein line?"
Guan Pingle picked up the tea, took a sip lightly, and then nodded.
The housekeeper was a little stunned for a while, but immediately recovered again, and asked respectfully: "Since the vein system has fallen, it is inevitable to throw himself into the formation system, so what should this young master do?"
After a pause, the housekeeper said, "After all, his father used to be kind to you, and he relied on his relationship..."
Before the housekeeper finished speaking, Guan Pingle kicked his eyes, stared at the housekeeper fiercely and said, "I think you are really old, you are already old and confused!"
Then he said: "To be able to achieve today's position, it is all up to me to work hard by myself! I don't owe him the vein line." β
Seeing Guan Pingle's appearance, the housekeeper said yes again and again.
But in his heart, he secretly cursed: There are many capable people! If others didn't give you this opportunity, you would be a fart! You are still in the corners, you can't afford to eat steamed buns, and you want others to give alms.
There is nothing wrong with people climbing to high places, and this is one of the sources of people's daily efforts.
But when you climb to a higher height than others, you turn your face and deny people, and you are ungrateful to those who have helped you, that is the act of a beast.
The housekeeper still has some understanding of Guan Pingle's character, and the nursing home has a lifelong friendship with him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great favor. When others took refuge in him, they let him be the watchdog of the nursing home, which shows his character.
Guan Pingle continued: "Inform the messenger of the formation pattern system that my Guan Mansion is carrying the people of this city to surrender!"
Then Guan Pingle continued: "That's right! Let's just say that I took great pains to catch the remnants of the vein system and offered them together to show my sincerity!"
The butler bowed his head again and again.
The moment he went out, he secretly spat and scolded in his heart: It's okay to be ungrateful, and if you fall into the well after your benefactor, you deserve not to be able to bring it!
Cheng Miao got up early the next morning, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and walked out.
Cheng Miao followed the corridor and asked the maid guards he saw all the way, but no one knew where Guan Pingle was.
Cheng Miao got lost in all directions, and somehow he had already walked into a courtyard, which was full of Aoxue Hanmei.
Cheng Miao just raised his hand and broke off a plum blossom.
Suddenly there was an angry rebuke from behind: "Let go of your dog's paws." β
was originally a weak female voice, but under the angry reprimand, she actually looked a little neutral.
Cheng Miao just turned around, and before he could react, he was kicked by the person who came and kicked straight on the chest.
This girl is about the same age as Cheng Miao, that is, fourteen or fifteen years old, but her strength is much stronger than Cheng Miao, and she kicked into the snow with one kick.
Cheng Miao was suddenly treated like this, anger rose in his heart, and he scolded loudly: "Who are you! Let Guan Pingle come to see me!"
The green girl with a ponytail is Guan Pingle's twelfth daughter and the most favored daughter, and she is extremely favored in the house, and she is used to being brutal and domineering.
She looked at Cheng Miao wanting to break off the branch, the plum blossom tree she planted with her own hands, even her father knew that she couldn't touch her plum blossom tree, and when she saw Cheng Miao preparing to break off the plum blossom, she was naturally reluctant, so there was a later scene.
Just as she wondered who the man who called her father by his first name was, her father had already appeared.
Guan Pingle smiled and immediately pulled her daughter away, and said, "Your mother is looking for you everywhere, why are you here." β
The moment Cheng Miao saw Guan Pingle appear, she shouted loudly: "Guan Pingle, who is she?
Guan Pingle frowned, made a look, and the two guards who came with him pounced.
I secretly thought in my heart: I still think that I am a high young master!
Her daughter duly asked, "Daddy, he's still calling you, who is he?"
Guan Pingle was stunned for a moment, didn't know how to answer, and said perfunctorily: "A friend's son..."
Cheng Miao saw two guards who pounced on him at this time, these two were the two people who were guarding the door before, didn't Guan Pingle say that he had broken his leg?
Before Cheng Miao could figure this out, the two people had already pounced, who was the opponent of these two strong men, and was knocked to the ground without resisting a few times.
The sound of intense pain made Cheng Miao let out a burst of screams, and the nursing home seemed to be annoyed, and directly pressed Cheng Miao's head into the snow...
In the evening, the two took him to a remote and simple room, threw him in, closed the door and left.
When Cheng Miao woke up again, it was late at night, and he was still wearing daytime clothes.
When this set of clothes was pressed on the snow by the two guards, he had already been covered in snow, and the snow melted when it was hot, and his whole body was already soaked, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
How cold the night was in early spring, and there were only some tattered furniture in this simple house, not even straw that could barely keep warm, Cheng Miao was shivering from the cold, his teeth kept chattering, and he exhaled a mouthful of hot air from his mouth, and the hot air quickly turned into a white mist when it was cold.
Cheng Miao tried hard to crawl towards the light-filled door, and tried her best to prop herself up, trying to open the door, but found that the door had been locked from the outside.
The weak Cheng Miao used all his strength to slap on the wooden door, and at the same time made a cry for help, but he was weak and couldn't make much noise at all.
Outside, it was a festive scene, and everyone was laughing so happily, and the loud wave of laughter seemed to shake away the dark clouds in the sky.
Just separated by a door, it seems to separate the whole world, the laughter and laughter outside and the desperate cry inside, the celebration of the whole world outside, and the disillusionment inside, these two completely different emotions are only separated by a door.
Guan Pingle was willing to surrender, and also seized the news of Cheng Miao, which soon spread to the camp of the formation pattern.
That night, someone from the formation pattern came here, and the person who came was a woman.
Guan Pingle didn't know that someone from the formation pattern system had already arrived, but when he was dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, a person fell from the sky.
The people in the courtyard were even more amazed, after all, there were not many opportunities to see the cultivators with their own eyes.
When he saw who it was, Guan Pingle couldn't help but feel weak in his legs, and the whole person fell to the ground.
I secretly screamed in my heart: My life is over...
Cheng Miao's little miscellaneous didn't mean that his Cheng family was destroyed, isn't the Cheng family's little evil god alive and well?
Guan Pingle trembled even more when he thought of the relationship between this female evil god and miscellaneous things, and then thought of the events of the day.
Guan Pingle didn't care about any face at the moment, so he knelt on the ground and hurriedly shouted: "The young master's wife spared her life, the little lard was blinded by her heart, so she did something disrespectful to the young master..."
The scene was the same as yesterday's two kneeling nurses, but yesterday he was the one begging for mercy.
Cheng Xi watched coldly, allowing him to shout for self-justification.
After a while, he spoke: "Where is Cheng Miao, take me to see him!"
Guan Pingle summoned the two maids who were still staring blankly and motioned for them to help him up, because his legs were already weak and he couldn't stand up.
As soon as he got up, he found that he was already wet under him, and he was frightened and incontinent.
One of the maids couldn't help but sniff, her brows furrowed, and a look of disgust flashed on her face, and Guan Pingle also had a full view of this scene.
Soon they were in the utility room.
Before Guan Pingle could take out the key to open the lock, the door had already flown out backwards, and Cheng Miao, who was lying on the door in a coma, lost his support and fell down.
Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and retracted it just a little bit.
She just opened her mouth and said: "I am the person who came to receive the formation system, this city is still yours, and there will be someone to assist in the management in a few days, as for this person, I will not take this person away, continue to put it in the city, you can just treat him as a nameless beggar." β
Guan Pingle was a little confused in this sentence.
This Cheng Xi is not the adopted daughter of the Cheng family? Isn't she the young master's wife? How did she become a member of the formation system?
There are only two or three people left in the vein system when they are all dead, and this young master's wife has taken refuge in the formation vein system, and she wants him to be a beggar who is in danger?
Was she a temporary defection or was she planning it before?
Before he could figure it out, Cheng Xi had already turned around and left
γ
Only one sentence was left: "If he is comfortable or killed, be careful of your whole family's net worth!"
